< Outcast is too good at martial arts (24) >
One day, an unidentified system that brought Mugyeol back to life as a boy standing on the brink of death.
I thought I had figured out how to use the system by now, but there was still a lot of uncharted territory.
The newly given ‘Challenge Mission’ was also new to Mugyeol.
After finishing all the schedules for ‘Real Fighter’.
After returning home, Mugyeol opened the status window again.
[Would you like to take on the first ‘Challenge Mission’?]
[Knock out the virtual MMA fighter set to suit your level!]
[Number of challenges: 0/30]
“Challenge Mission.”
Fortunately, like all ‘fight missions’, the challenge mission also had a short explanation written at the bottom of the hologram window.
The ‘Challenge Mission’ was a new concept, but it wasn’t difficult to understand.
Simply put, a mission where you fight against a virtual opponent created by the system using MMA rules and win.
However, considering the number of challenges given 30 times, it did not seem to be an easy difficulty.
Mugyeol continued reading the hologram window.
[Challenge Cost: 300pt]
[Reward: Skill Proficiency]
If ‘Fight Mission’ is a point-providing system, ‘Challenge Mission’ requires consuming points to challenge.
Of course, there are rewards.
In fact, ‘technical proficiency’ is such a natural reward that it is embarrassing to say that it is a system reward.
If you play 30 virtual real matches, it would be natural for your skill level to increase.
However, it was necessary to raise the technical proficiency level without fail.
You can raise your skill level by collecting points, but that’s nothing more than building ‘knowledge about the technical system’.
There is a difference between simply ‘knowing’ a technology and ‘being able to use it’ in practice.
In the meantime, he was able to fight even with low proficiency because he had met opponents with a lower level than himself or opponents who were clear about what skills to use.
However, what if it is a real match full of variables?
We cannot guarantee victory against Han Dae-geun or Chae Won-ki.
In the current situation where there is no suitable sparring partner, raising skill proficiency through virtual matches was a very precious opportunity for Mugyeol.
In other words, 30 battles itself is a reward for Mugyeol.
“It’s a match against an imaginary opponent.”
Moo Kyul recalled the movie ‘The Matrix’ that he enjoyed watching as a child.
After taking the ‘true red pill’, ‘Neo’ enters the virtual world built by ‘Morpheus’ and engages in a martial arts battle with him.
‘Neo’ in the movie also learned how to fight like that, so maybe it feels similar to that.
A movie like this could become a reality.
“haha.”
Mugyeol burst into laughter involuntarily.
But the system was definitely helping him grow.
With that help, he caught Chae Won-gi and gave Han Dae-geun three effective hits.
If you complete the ‘Challenge Mission’ properly, it will grow your integrity to another level.
“Whoa-.”
Taking a deep breath, Mugyeol pressed the ‘Challenge’ button.
“!?”
At the same time, the entire space became a group of lights and took Mugyeol somewhere.
Would it be like this if you rode the space moving device ‘Bifrost’ in the movie ‘Thor’?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
the moment I closed my eyes with the bright light surrounding everywhere.
Touk-.
The flawless soles of my feet touched the ground, and the bright light I felt through my eyelids subsided before I knew it.
When I carefully opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a hologram.
[Execute the first ‘Challenge Mission’!]
[Your mixed martial arts level: C]
[Creates a C-class MMA fighter!]
[Health recovery: 3/3] When
the hologram disappeared, an octagon was seen surrounding him.
Finally, the opponent he had to fight appeared.
A virtual MMA fighter with perfect face and body shape.
“It’s like this!”
At the sound of a gong resounding somewhere, the two no-gyeol began to collide.
* * *
Monday after ‘Real Fighter’.
Mugyeol experienced the first failure of the ‘Challenge Mission’.
One round in the mission is unlimited, instead of 3 minutes.
Also, there are three ‘stamina recovery’ items, and you have to use them to take down as many rounds as possible to defeat your opponent.
The fictional MMA fighter looked exactly like Martial Arts, but played differently.
Unlike Moo Gye, who specialized in boxing, he was an all-rounder MMA fighter with all abilities developed evenly.
It means that the level of wrestling or jiu-jitsu kicking is higher than that of perfection, but the level of boxing is inferior.
That’s why I could have easily won if I used the steps and actively used boxing.
But Mugyeol didn’t do that.
It’s such a good opportunity to end it like that.
A chance to have an ‘infinite battle’ with an all-round fighter of a similar level to yourself.
There was an iron rule that Mugyul had kept since his days as an amateur boxer in his last life.
In practice, he fights with his weakest technique, and in actual combat, he uses his strongest technique.
Because training is a time to develop your weak areas.
Just like a right-footed soccer player training his left foot.
Just like a tennis player with a strong forehand trains his backhand.
Mugyeol played against a virtual fighter in his weak area.
Jiu-Jitsu Wrestling is sometimes a distance kicking game.
Fighting in an area I wasn’t confident in, my stamina quickly dropped.
The three health recovery items ran out in an instant.
He challenged until he was exhausted, but the result was a fainting KO by Das Choke in the 6th round.
[You have been defeated in the first ‘Challenge Mission’.]
[Number of challenges: 1/30]
“Heh-huh-huh-.”
Because it was a defeat in virtual reality, there was no damage left, but that did not relieve the sense of defeat.
what was the problem
Round 2 Should I have pressed harder when I was in top position?
In the third round, I landed two good kicks!
Or was the low kick in the 5th round a loss?
Even after going to school on Tuesday, the worries continued all day.
“Hey, it’s flawless. What do you think. huh?”
“…”
“Would you like to go eat tteokbokki with me after today?”
“…”
“Wow, this is a bit fresh, isn’t it? How long has it been since you saw a guy?”
“I’m sorry, Yoonmin. I was thinking about something.”
“What do you think?”
“fight.”
Yoon Min-ah stuck her tongue out as if she was full of energy at the answer of no-gyeol.
“Hey, you even beat a former gangster on live broadcast! Are you thinking of fighting again!?”
“There is an opponent I really want to win. Let’s eat tteokbokki later.”
When Mugyeol left, Mina Yoon stomped her feet and got angry.
“Wow, that’s crazy! But why are you strangely attracted to me!?”
On Tuesday evening after school, Moo Gyeol started the ‘Challenge Mission’ again.
[Execute the first ‘Challenge Mission’!]
[Your mixed martial arts level: C]
[Create a C-class MMA fighter!]
[Health recovery: 3/3]
However, in the second challenge, he was KO’d even faster. .
This time, KO by high kick in the 5th round.
“Shit-!”
As soon as I lost, I had to return to reality with an unpleasant feeling, but I still analyzed the game and reviewed the defeat.
“This time, giving the opponent kick distance was the problem.”
Tuesday night was still long and Mugyeol started the third ‘Challenge Mission’ right away.
The third challenge ended after four rounds with a left hook to the temple.
This time, I was hooked by the knee kick fake and caught the hook the moment I lowered the guard.
He was confident in his boxing, but even his boxing wasn’t perfect for MMA yet.
There was still a corner left to develop in the realm of boxing!
The defeat was resentful, but a strange pleasure accompanied it.
It was a good thing that he still had a place to climb.
Challenges continued as long as the mental strength remained, and I couldn’t even sleep in the joy of growth.
The sixteenth challenge.
This time, he almost caught his imaginary opponent with a takedown combo and guillotine choke.
‘Damn, the grip is shallow!’
The grip was not properly applied thanks to the hasty technique, but failure was also a lesson.
I guess I know a little bit now.
Punch kick wrestling jiu jitsu.
The system is divided into four areas, but in MMA competition these techniques are on one stream.
From hitting to wrestling from wrestling to jiu-jitsu from jiu-jitsu to blow again.
As the challenge continued, the understanding of the technical system increased, and the perfection was getting closer to victory.
The 16th challenge was KO in 6 rounds.
However, after the 16th attempt, his status window changed.
[User: Cha Perfect]
[Point: 70pt]
[Wrestling: D]
[Jiu-Jitsu: D+]
[Kick: D]
[Boxing: A]
[Signature Move: Cross Counter]
[Mission: First Challenge Mission (16/30) ]
There is a ‘+’ at the end of the Jiu-Jitsu level!
It was a new change, but it didn’t need an explanation.
Because he knew better than anyone what changes had happened to him.
Evolution of technology from ‘knowing’ level to ‘applicable’ level.
Through 16 challenges, Mugyeol acquired D-level ‘Practical Jiu-Jitsu for MMA’.
This is the ‘skill proficiency’ that the system is talking about.
Witnessing the change directly fueled my motivation.
In the challenge that immediately followed, wrestling was mainly used.
Catch, tangle, throw, flip, roll on the floor.
After the 22nd challenge ended, the flawless status window evolved once more.
This time, the wrestling level went up to ‘D+’.
“It was good.”
Although we still couldn’t win, the challenge continued.
[Number of Challenges: 23/30]
[Number of Challenges: 24/30]
[Number of Challenges: 25/30]
…
Following Jiu-Jitsu Wrestling, this time, a kick-oriented challenge.
Beyond just kicking, we considered everything from timing and angles to post-action.
The 27th challenge The moment when he was knocked out by a crescent moon kick to the rib after a fierce kick game.
Finally, in the flawless status window, ‘+’ was added to all skill areas except boxing.
[User: Cha Perfect]
[Point: 70pt]
[Wrestling: D+]
[Jiu-Jitsu: D+]
[Kick: D+]
[Boxing: A]
[Signature Move: Cross Counter]
[Mission: 1st Challenge Mission (27/30) ]
I thought it was worth a try now.
It is to suppress the opponent in the realm of ‘comprehensive combat’ while refraining from using boxing, which is his main specialty.
‘A person who has practiced one kick a thousand times is stronger than a person with a thousand kicks.’
Bruce Lee said that, but the story is a little different in MMA.
To be a perfect MMA fighter, you have to practice a thousand kicks a thousand times.
Mugyeol was gradually realizing the meaning of the first challenge mission.
Twenty-eight Twenty-ninth mission ended in failure, and finally, the last challenge.
In the 8th round, when his stamina was almost exhausted, Mugyeol finally got into a perfect side position after a one leg takedown.
“!!”
After a strong pounding, he won the KO by catching Kimura (a submission where he bends his arm in the opposite direction).
“done–!!”
The moment when he unknowingly shouted cheers.
The flawless body returned to reality in an instant, and a new hologram appeared in front of my eyes.
[First ‘Challenge Mission’ Success!]
[Number of Challenges: 30/30]
He obtained ‘Technical Proficiency’ in Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and Kick, and eventually defeated an imaginary opponent.
Plus 30 MMA fights close to real life.
This kind of experience cannot be easily obtained anywhere!
That alone made the first ‘Challenge Mission’ satisfactory.
But the rewards didn’t end there.
[The user’s skill proficiency has risen significantly!]
[Weaknesses have been improved!]
[Challenge Mission Rating: A+]
“Hmm…?”
[Hidden rewards are given!]
