Relife Player 339
[Chapter 104]
[A monster with worn out emotions (4)]
The third day of the cultural festival.
The preliminaries on the first and second days ended in all categories, leaving only the competition and the grade competition to determine the top winner by grade level.
On the 4th and 5th day, the general category competition is held in earnest.
Although the general sector competition was the most visited event by industry officials, there were quite a few people who visited on the last day of the general sector competition.
Whoa….
Dealer division competition 2nd year finals.
Watching the freshman game end, Eunhyuk took a deep breath near the stadium.
It was full of people outside.
Thinking that I would swing my sword in front of them made me very nervous and excited.
Haven’t you dreamed of it since you were little?
I want to become a player who saves people who are expected by so many people.
that’s right.
Why are you so nervous about this?
Eunhyuk hit his face with both hands.
I just show off what I’ve been training to the audience.
Haven’t you been doing well so far?
Minho must be nervous too.
No, Minho wouldn’t do that.
Nevertheless, unlike the preliminaries, the reason they are nervous is probably because their opponent in the finals is Mok Min-ho.
To be honest, he wasn’t very interested in prospects in other grades.
As he is an aspiring dealer while being an aspiring player, he is implied to be compared to himself and Minho Minho among students.
Eunhyuk couldn’t help but feel a sense of rivalry with him.
This will be the same for him.
─Are you very nervous?
…Naya.
Eunhyuk tried to meditate for the upcoming battle.
At that time, after finishing the telepathist
division competition, Seo-na came to him and talked to him.
Eunhyuk opened his eyes, saw the red eyes looking at him, and soon relaxed his stiff face.
Serena was worried.
Sorry. I was hoping to see you make it to the finals… Good job?
Then I’ll see you later in the afternoon. I was selected as the 2nd year representative. really? congratulations so much!
Jin Seo-na wagging her fox tail.
Eunhyuk was delighted with Seona’s victory as if he had won.
Seo-na smiled as she pathetically looked at him, who was delighted like a child.
Then she came closer to him and said.
So Eunhyuk, you win too. Because I want to keep watching you fight.
…huh.
How does your body feel lighter?
Looking at her, Eunhyuk smiled like a puppy and turned around.
When I came out, the sun was shining so hard that it blinded my eyes.
At the same time, unlike the preliminaries, the people who filled the stands filled up their cheers.
In an instant, Eunhyuk was overwhelmed by numerous gazes.
But that’s for a while…
[—Cheer up.]
He turned his head in the direction the telepathy came from.
Unlike the arena, the dark passageway.
The fox girl was still there.
she waved her hand.
Gently waving to her, he walked to Min-ho Mo, who had come up to the arena first.
Were you scared?
Who is scared?
Minho, as always, spoke indifferently.
Eunhyuk responded with a light laugh and immediately pulled out the sword he was wearing around his waist.
The same goes for Mok Min-ho.
Eunhyuk Choi. why? do you remember that time? …of course.
When Mok Min-ho spoke.
Eunhyuk noticed that he brought up the story of being kidnapped by Slayers last year.
At that time, the two men were looking for an opportunity to run away from them by hitting each other.
There was no decision then, but it will be different now. I hope it doesn’t just hit like last year.
The situation is different from then and now, do you think I will accept you quietly? Yeah… that’s how it should be.
Mok Min-ho grabbed the sword.
Eunhyuk also took a stance.
he knew
That Mok Min-ho has gotten a lot stronger lately.
That’s why I couldn’t be careless.
Minho, who fights sword to sword this time, will be a completely different person from the one he knew so far.
But-.
-You’re not the only one who’s become stronger, are you?
Mok Min-ho was not the only person who played an active part in Jongpyeong last semester.
same with yourself
Eunhyuk gave strength to his hand as if he would not lose.
After a while, the referee’s command sounded and the final match began.
☆
Cha Eun-woo was selected as the sophomore representative in the supporter category.
In a way, it was a natural result.
There were no other students in the same grade who had as outstanding skills as Eunwoo.
In this life, she was not chosen as Park Hye-rim’s < The Seed > from < The Holy Mother >, but she proved her talent nonetheless.
Besides Eunwoo, it was natural for the other kids to be representatives too.
In addition, in the telepathist category, Seona was selected as the second year representative in the hunter category, and in the blue caster category, Subin was selected.
The ranger division Minji participated in was scheduled to be held at lunchtime, and the dealer division was currently in the middle of the sophomore selection.
And just now, the navigator division was over.
[─2nd grade representative Jeong Ha-yang.]
This, too, did not go as expected.
Eun-ha got up and went down the stairs to congratulate Hayang.
On the way, on the electronic signboard in the hallway, the dealer section, which had just started, was appearing.
Mok Min-ho and Choi Eun-hyeok were clashing their swords with each other.
A battle that is so breathtaking that it is hard to see it as a couple of second year middle school academy.
Eun-ha clicked her tongue when she saw the two of them rushing at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
not enough
they are still lacking
If the two of them had heard it, it would have turned their faces blue.
Eunha still had high eyes.
The eyes of the people sitting in the bleachers were filled with astonishment as they watched the battle between the two.
Eunha was hoping for a higher level than that.
As soon as the cultural festival is over, I’ll roll it again.
After making that resolution, Eunha passed through the hallway and headed to the waiting room where the contestants were gathered.
Even though it was a restricted area except for officials, the students who were guarding the area did not say anything when they saw him.
Because he is protected by the Sirius Group and won the Hunter category last year.
His name is well known.
No one was surprised that he was here.
what? why isn’t he here?
Eun-ha, who found the waiting room with Ha-yang’s name written on it, put on a puzzled expression.
After knocking on the door several times and receiving no answer, I opened the door to the waiting room.
There was no one.
Haven’t you come to the waiting room yet?
Thinking that might be the case, he walked down the aisle leading to the arena.
It wasn’t long before I found her.
Jeong Ha-yang student. I’m not a weirdo. Here… My business card! I’ve been watching Jeong Ha-yang carefully from before, but the way he handles mana is…
Hayang’s student. Don’t listen to the unknown and unknown clan, listen to what I have to say. Everything they say is fraudulent, so don’t be fooled
… hello. We were created during < Destruction at the End of the Century >… We receive A grades in the Mana Management Organization every year…
Student Hayang. don’t listen to weird noises What’s the use of the mana management device’s rank? The most important thing is the clan’s self-assessed rating. Do you think the grade for rating a player in a Rank B clan is the same as for rating a player in a Rank A clan? we are real
Heo Where are the guys active in the Yeongnam area trying to scam in Seoul?
what? hey! Are you done talking? How old are you?
Ahaha…
Eunha frowned.
This was the reason Jung Ha-yang couldn’t return to the waiting room.
People from the industry who somehow managed to find the stakes were buzzing around her.
Hayang was tied up in the story they were talking about without being able to answer properly.
Oh Eunha
“…….”
Then Hayang found him.
She greets you with a smile.
At that moment, the people who were talking to her turned their heads and looked at Eunha, who was standing far away.
The eyes of people in the industry sparkled.
Eunha had a hunch.
Student Noh Eun-ha! It looks like you didn’t participate in the division competition this year, but have you ever been offered a recruit from another clan?
then no! The road ahead is prosperous, but at this age, it’s not good at all to be so bold!
I would have taught at the academy… except for the 3rd year of the high school academy, I couldn’t get a recruitment offer. Perhaps the places that offered to recruit Eunha are scum who don’t even know morality.
no way! What are these people talking about! It’s the first time that Noh Eun-ha has joined the clan! Now don’t do this… remember me? Last year, student Noh Eun-ha also ate
fried dumplings.
Eunha sighed deeply when she saw the people flocking to her.
Conversely, there was not much left around Hayang.
While realizing his popularity, he had to come up with a solution to get out of this situation.
Actually, nothing was too difficult.
The Stygian Eye
was only a fleeting moment.
Eunha, who spread her Stygian eye, raised her mouth.
Although the players were startled while resisting mana.
─Isn’t that person Ryu Yeon-hwa?
“what!?”
Eunha quickly changed the subject before they could say anything.
Then some people saw the direction he pointed.
There is only darkness in the aisles.
Phantom Eye
, but the galaxy that shook their minds for an instant injected the keyword Ryu Yeon-hwa into their heads in the meantime.
Those who turned their heads did not know that they had been hit by the Phantom Eye and remembered the existence of Ryu Yeon-hwa in the empty passage.
Fantasy is like that.
A fiction that is formed when an image is implanted in the head for a moment.
Above all, the most frightening thing about fantasy is—.
─It’s the real Ryu Yeon-hwa!
what? I can’t see where!?
no! look over there!
uh? is it real
People’s crowd psychology is something that can easily be changed by three people pointing fingers.
Not to mention, when people with Phantom Eye say that Ryu Yeon-hwa is over there, even those who aren’t affected by the illusion spell can’t help but be dazzled.
And the fantasy takes advantage of that gap, embraces those who have not yet been infected by the fantasy, and creates people who follow the fantasy again.
The more the number of people affected by the illusion increases.
Fantasy exists more concretely and traps more people into it.
…Galaxy. What are you doing?
People in the industry couldn’t get out of Ryu Yeon-hwa’s fantasy.
Eventually, they started running like a shotgun in the middle of the desert in search of a mirage, saying they would catch Ryu Yeon-hwa.
Suddenly, only Eunha and Jung Ha-yang were left in the aisle.
It was just a little bit of a prank.
…It didn’t seem like light-looking magic… It was like that last time. What kind of magic is that?
I’ll let you know later.
Could it be because of the extensive analysis of magic in the navigator category?
Hayang momentarily questioned the magic he had implemented.
You wouldn’t have been able to interpret the spell just by looking at it for a moment.
It was a magic that could not be realized with human knowledge in the first place.
Stygian Eye and Phantom Eye.
The magic obtained from the skill stone existed as a providence that most people could not interpret.
And whether or not he could interpret it was the quality that distinguished an excellent navigator.
…a bit… No, it was a magic that looked pretty dangerous. The way people moved as if they were possessed… No, Eunha didn’t you use other magic before that?
…….
Eunha raised her mouth.
While other friends are not yet fully occupied in their eyes.
Even though Hayang was left alone, he was terrifyingly developing the skills he wanted.
Not only did he grasp the information with mana, but he inferred the information only from the reactions and situations of the people around him.
With skills like this, she might be better than Yoon Yi-byeol in < Butterfly Lady >.
Perhaps it is beyond the Twelve Seats < Index > Yoon Seong-jin.
─It’s really nice to meet you. … uh?
Eunha spoke the truth.
I’m really glad I met her.
However, Jeong Ha-yang will never be able to grasp only her own mind.
Eunha murmured contentedly and quickly changed the topic.
I’m going to go to the class competition later, so wouldn’t it be better to take a break than go back to the booth?
But the kids must be working hard… If we do that, then we feel sorry for them. Looking at it earlier, it seems that Bae Soo-bin was also selected as the representative of the caster division. … I don’t know.
Hayang released his strength from the anxious face a moment ago.
Eun-ha shrugged and decided to contact Bae Su-bin.
Upright Bae Soo-bin would do the work for them without even knowing that he had suffered.
She might get angry later, but honestly he wasn’t afraid of her at all.
Still, he’s a good boy, so he does what he’s told to do.
Let’s add more honesty.
It was so much fun to see Bae Su-bin follow what he was told to do with a humiliated expression on his face.
This emotion was vivid without changing in the slightest before or after the return.
The only emotion that a monster with worn out emotions can feel vividly.
The person who accepts that feeling as fun is surely not normal.
☆
…Ha…
Returning to the waiting room, Eunhyuk lay down on a long chair.
The line was not a word.
But I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.
I just wanted to stay like this.
…lose
lost.
Eunhyuk, lost to Mok Minho, looked up at the ceiling and recalled the fight that had just happened.
It was a whistle at first.
However, the more they faced each other, the more a gap slowly developed.
It felt like facing a monster.
The face of Dalian changed when Mok Min-ho suddenly changed his strategy.
In the meantime, it can be said that his tactics were standard and he used swordsmanship that added application in the standard.
However, Minho Min-ho started a fight by using geographical features like the blue tactic, and sometimes attacked by looking for an opening like a captain.
From a certain point on, Min-ho Mok’s swordsmanship was not an expression of his will, but a means to realize his will.
It was just that the momentum that seemed to slash the enemy was sharpened.
To be honest, while dealing with Minho, Eunhyuk caught a glimpse of a monster in him.
To that extent, he boldly deviated from the path he had walked and swung his sword only to win.
how can i win
To be honest, Eunhyuk didn’t think he would be able to win even if he faced Minho again.
I don’t know if I can use < Critical > freely, but I don’t think I can beat him purely with swordsmanship.
it was so infuriating
It wasn’t until after Eunhyuk lost to him that he realized that he had no talent unlike him.
-What do you think?
at that time.
Serena’s face came into view.
Lying in a chair, he jumped up.
sorry. I lost.
What if I win next time? Are you hurt anywhere? I saw it earlier… Look, it’s bleeding here.
uh? really?
Ugh… just stay there. I’ll disinfect you.
As if you knew it would be.
Seo-na was holding a first-aid kit in her hand.
She knelt down and rubbed disinfectant all over his body.
Eunhyuk felt a sting when the disinfectant passed over the bloodied area.
He shrank back at the sensation of vibrating his nerves.
My child is dying…. Be patient.
hey take it easy
The kids in our church don’t even get sick of this, do they?
Ugh…
Seo-na speaks with pale eyes.
Eunhyuk, whose pride was hurt for a moment, eventually gnashed his teeth and endured the pain.
After the disinfection was over, Seo-na applied ointment to his wound.
it’s standing
why?
If you work harder than now, you can surpass talent, right?
Why are you sounding so weak today?
I wonder if they were shocked to see Mok Min-ho’s growth.
Eunhyuk was surprised when he said something that he didn’t normally say.
But it was already spilled water.
He hurriedly avoided the eyes of Serena, who was glaring at him.
Eh…
She sighed softly and replied with her red eyes tightening.
Hard work is also a talent. Of course you can do anything if you try. …….
Wasn’t it you who told me about it? If you say that, then what am I?
…I know. sorry. And thank you.
Hard work is also a talent.
Eunhyuk was shocked for the second time today.
I never expected to hear such a thing.
Meanwhile, he was grateful to her for discovering his talent that he didn’t even know existed.
Hey, come on.
Why again why?
So if you work hard, you will definitely do well.
So-.
Is there a class competition for telepathists later this afternoon? After that, why don’t you take a look around our booth?
──It is to work hard without giving up. If you do that, one day there will be a day to move forward.
