< Bullying is too good at martial arts (29) >
There is a saying ‘a quote came out’ on the floor of martial arts.
It means that you can guess what a player’s potential level is just by looking at his performance.
Even if there is not much to show yet, depending on how overwhelming the player has shown in the game, the player is described as a ‘champion feeling’.
Francis Ngannou drew attention for his monstrous size and punching power beyond the level of earthlings.
Players such as Kamjat Chimaev, who became a hot topic for his incredibly short game time, fall into this category.
Chae Won-ki also estimated Cha Moo-gyeol’s ‘estimate’.
Moo Kyul in ‘Real Fighter’ was definitely a good fighter.
However, the only part that could be said to be particularly outstanding was boxing.
‘At best, he’s just a domestic player!’
There was a reason for Chae Won-ki’s confidence.
In the meantime, fellow fighters as well as CSOF WFC fighters across the sea.
There were not many players who produced results that exceeded the initial estimate.
But innocence was different.
Moogyeol’s performance in ‘Hell’s Welcome Party’ was clearly different from his previous appearance.
Of course, the connection between the technologies that were cut off has become smoother.
He calmly coped with irregular techniques such as backspin elbow and instep stomping.
Even Choi Seok-doo, who is second to none, was saddened by the fact that he lost his temper the first day he stepped on his toe in sparring and was so excited that he missed training.
However, Mugyeol went beyond reacting coldly and even gave a counterattack.
‘Is this possible?’
In just a few weeks, the estimate itself has changed.
Even the players who are facing him now are strictly professional fighters registered on the RCF official roster.
Of course, there is a huge gap between the 20th and 30th players in the rankings and the top rankers.
However, those who exercise in the athlete department are at least different from ordinary people.
Mugyeol was continuing 8 consecutive first-round knockouts against such players.
‘Does this make sense!’
Chae Won-gi himself, as well as champion Han Dae-geun, whom he respected, could not show such an overwhelming appearance in his rookie days.
Chae Won-gi was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was Chae Won-ki who had been gnashing his teeth ever since he heard the news that Mugyeol was coming to the RCF Jongno branch.
It was Chae Won-gi who was shamed in front of the whole country thanks to his flawlessness.
‘How am I going to get revenge!’
However, at this moment, Chae Won-ki’s hands and feet were cold.
The tips of his lips were trembling as if he were having a convulsion.
In the depths of my heart, fear reared its head.
‘What if the winning streak doesn’t end like this?’
‘What if all of our officers are cut before that guy’s stamina runs out?’
‘My turn will come at the end’
When the thought reached that point, Chae Won-gi had to swallow dry saliva.
‘Can I win?’
‘If I get to the octagon, can I stop that monstrous bastard?’
At that moment, Cha Mu-gyeol called Chae Won-ki as if he had been waiting.
“Let’s stick with Chae Won-ki one more time. how is it?”
“…!”
“Why are you not talking? The warm-up is over.”
…You’re such an ignorant bastard
!…
…
Deputy Director, please treat me! The sound of clamors from the officials echoed in Chae Won-gi’s ears
.
What are these bastards saying now?
Tell me to go up there and deal with that guy?
That unknown monstrous bastard?
Chae Won-ki swallowed dry saliva once again, but Mu-gyeol still had a calm expression.
A laid-back expression that said it didn’t matter who climbed to the top of the Octagon.
A thousand dollars were spent on that leisure, but to their dismay, Chae Won-gi couldn’t move.
Unexplained emotions were binding his feet.
“…”
“Why are you silent? Is it that difficult to understand the words to stick together?”
“Let’s end the welcome party here.”
“hmm?”
“The sparring session is getting longer, so I finish my workout early.”
Mugyeol shrugged his shoulders from the top of the Octagon.
Embarrassed athletes surrounded him as soon as the Octagon was finished.
“Deputy Director!”
“Can I do this?”
“I have to kill that bastard and that bastard! yes!?”
Chae Won-gi tried to calm the officials with a calm expression.
“Maybe he took some medicine, he looks good today. If we break even the record set by Dae-geun, what will be our position?”
“…That’s…”
“Or is there anyone you can be sure you can beat?”
At Chae Won-ki’s question, all the officers stood still and looked at each other’s faces.
Then, a government official asked Chae Won-ki a question.
“Even if the deputy director does it himself…”
“What?”
“That ignorant bastard called the deputy director without even knowing the subject. So, I think the deputy director could have gone up directly.”
“It’s overkill to go up to the deputy director at a welcome party for new officers.”
“That’s true…”
“Besides, what if I go up and the child gets hurt? I’m still a kid who is favored by the president, so why am I the only one who hates my fur?”
“That is also true.”
“I should have organized it on our line in the first place. I’m sorry, Vice-Chief.”
“it’s okay. Stop going in and get some rest today.”
“yep.”
Athletes were able to calm down moderately.
However, the excuse could not deceive Chae Won-gi himself.
After the failed ‘Welcome to Hell’.
Chae Won-ki kept trying to convince himself.
‘The reason I didn’t go to the Octagon was to prevent injury.’
‘If I hurt a guy who even got on the air, I’ll be the only one who sees shit.’
‘I want to hear something from the president again.’
However, as time passed, Chae Won-ki had no choice but to admit it.
I was scared of Cha Mu-gyeol.
I couldn’t go up to the octagon because I was scared!
I was so angry that my teeth were grinding and my fists were shaking, but it was the truth.
However, even after acknowledging and accepting the truth, my heart did not feel at ease.
No matter how much I beat the punching bag, no matter how much I wrestled drills until all the muscle tissue was shattered, my head wasn’t clear.
Chae Won-gi, ranked 11th in the middleweight division of this RCF, is a mere rein.
To the point of being frightened to the point of being frozen in fear!
You can’t live as a martial artist with such a sense of defeat.
Chae Won-ki, who made up his mind, immediately headed for Gu Gi-dong.
Chae Won-gi, who visited Jang Young-gil’s mansion without an appointment, knelt down in front of him.
“Chairman, please post the results!”
“…”
“I want to twist off that ignorant bastard’s neck.”
“Is it because of the welcome party?”
“!”
“I heard about it too.”
Jang Yeong-gil approached Chae Won-ki and grabbed him by the shoulders and helped him up.
“You’ve been through a lot since the broadcast.”
“!”
“okay. You are also a pro fighter, how hurt your pride must have been.”
“Chairman…”
“If you’re a fighter, falling down is more bitter than going hungry. It’s childish, but isn’t this floor’s period like that?”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Hey, I want to give you a chance too.”
“Thank you!”
“It will probably be a big event. Cha Moo-gyeol is a hot topic, so if you catch and eat him, you will take that topic as it is.”
“!”
“You’ve been with me for a long time, so you know. That I don’t like that name very much.”
“Of course I know!”
“Somehow, this old man’s judgment was clouded and he ended up here…”
Jang Young-gil looked at Chae Won-ki with a benevolent smile.
“Still, the only ones I can trust are my sons.”
“…!”
“Can you do it well?”
“Leave it to me, Chairman!”
After bowing deeply, Chae Won-gi left the mansion with tears in her eyes.
As soon as he left, Jang Young-gil called Woo Hyeon-cheol with a cold, hard expression.
“Cha Mu-gyeol vs. Chae Won-ki. At this point, there is no game that will sell better than this.”
“That is correct.”
“Prepare this match as the co-main event of the next tournament (the next most important bracket after the main event).”
“yes.”
Looking at the bright moon, Jang Young-gil muttered.
“Hey, you’re finally playing the role of a son.”
* * *
It has been one month since Cha Mugyeol joined the RCF Jongno branch.
In the martial arts world, rumors of a ‘Cha Mu-gyeol vs. Chae Won-ki’ match began to circulate.
Han Ki-joo of ‘Brawlers’ tilted his head at this news.
“It’s a bit strange, sir.”
“what?”
“Isn’t it an unwritten rule that you don’t stick together at the same gym?”
“Not really. Look at America’s Colby Covington. You provoked old gym mates by grinding pad ribs. If you have money, you can make any competition.”
“Hmm, but it seems like a case I haven’t seen in our country.”
“That’s true, but actually, there can’t be a good relationship with the RCF Jongno branch.”
“why?”
“That deputy director is Chae Won-ki. Chae Won-ki is the first professional fighter who was disgraced because of his chao-gyeol.”
“Ah, Chae Won-gi was the deputy director there?”
“You really don’t know anything?”
“Hehe, please teach me a lot, senior.”
“Besides, there are rumors that when Cha Moo-gyeol entered the gym, the officials there were smashed into pieces at the welcome party.”
“Oh, I heard that too.”
“Cha Moo-gyeol and Chae Won-ki could have had a fight there, right? Who would have won?”
“It already has quite a few stories.”
“okay. The two are destined to stick together. In addition, it is a valuable card from the perspective of the tournament company. I think the PPV will probably sell quite a bit too.”
“RCF must be smiling.”
“Well, that’s true, but in fact, it’s not always a good thing from the point of view of a group for one player to grow excessively. Besides, Cha Mu-gyeol doesn’t seem to have a calm style like Han Dae-geun.”
“Oh, then, is this the start of the Chin Cha-no-gyeol half RCF coin cake ceremony!”
“okay. We’ll only know when the brackets are confirmed and the game opens.”
“It sounds like something exciting is going on in the heavyweight division.”
“At a time like this, shouldn’t we do something else?”
“yes?”
Saying that, Kang Hye-min connected to ‘Fight Dog’, an overseas MMA forum.
“Right now, some pretty interesting rice cakes are popping up among Asian fans.”
“What is it?”
“All of RCF’s real fighters are dog masters! Rice cake called.”
“Oh that’s exciting.”
“In the first place, Moogyeol Cha was a rookie who was trying to debut in RCF, and he decided to make a broadcast and put this guy on the air.”
“Does something seem right?”
“that’s right. Especially when it comes to live broadcasts. Suddenly the rules were changed and even an exhibition match with Han Dae-geun. Even if you try to float it on purpose, it’s hard to make it so obvious.”
“Did you participate in the keyboard battle too?”
“hey. Don’t you think I have nothing to do with that?”
“Then why is that rice cake all of a sudden…”
“I’m going to try globalizing this rice cake from now on.”
Saying that, Kang Hye-min began to write a translation of the rice cake in ‘Fight Dog’.
“Now attach the video link.”
“Senior Seo. Aren’t you writing too provocatively?”
“You idiot, you have to do this to set the community on fire. Just ‘Is this like Suzaku?’ If you ask, no one will answer.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Isn’t this a complete dog joke? All the idiots who are not masters!
“…You are a keyboard warrior right?”
“It’s just being up to date with the online ecology.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Yeah dude.”
The day after Kang Hye-min posted a post on ‘Fight Dog’ saying that he was a real fighter.
A tycoon that even she could not have imagined had to bite this rice cake.
“…no, why is my brother out there!?”
