< Bullying is too good at martial arts (32) >
In the late fall of 2020, the RCF Secretariat finally announced the official match for the tournament.
[RCF 87 matches revealed! The main event is Jang Woo-yong vs. Kobayashi Mihara featherweight title match]
The main event is a Korea-Japan match between the reigning champion Woo-yong Jang and second-place featherweight Kobayashi.
However, people’s attention was more focused on the co-main event.
[‘Pro Debut’ Cha Perfect RCF 87’s co-main event decoration! Opponent is Team RCF’s Chae Won-gi]
[11th place middleweight Chae Won-ki vs. out of the rankings… Dividend goes to Chae Won-ki]
[What happened between the two in the match that was scheduled from ‘Real Fighter’?]
Second match result Everyone was predicting Chae Won-ki’s match.
However, many expressed surprise at the placement of this match as a co-main event.
This is because even if it was RCF, which pushed for any matchmaking that would make money, it had never given a co-main to a newbie with a record of zero pros.
After the match was confirmed, trash talk used to generate interest in the match, but in fact, this match didn’t even need to attract such aggro.
The unprecedented box office success of ‘Real Fighter’ and the first selection video leaked.
Thanks to the two incidents, martial arts fans as well as the general public were expecting the results of the two fighters.
In the meantime, when rumors spread that Mugyeol left the RCF Jongno branch and was working out separately, public opinion went unfavorably toward Chae Won-ki.
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]]
[I think he kicked out his juniors for training]
[Moogyeol doesn’t have any connection to the MMA world, so where does he go to train?]
[I’m going to go to the fucking old school and hit him with a punching bag at home. ;;]
[ Wouldn’t Im Jin-soo hyung-nim help me?]
[Would you want to do that to a high school student? lol]
[I think Chae Won-ki will win the match anyway, but it can’t be helped that it’s so fucking ugly]
[What if I lose like this? It’s a Sapphire Legend reservation]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha] When
the public opinion went badly, Chae Won-ki became desperate and revealed his feelings in an interview with ‘Brawlers’.
“It is customary for one of the fighters to move to another gym when fighting against each other in the same gym. Besides, I’m the vice-chief of the Jongno branch, so can’t I throw away the officers and just train?”
“okay. Then, have you looked into the facilities where Cha Moo-gyeol can train?”
“No, do I have to be so considerate of my opponent?”
Chae Won-ki, who held the microphone, couldn’t hide his excitement at all.
“In the meantime, I have always thought of MMA as a sport and have been involved in the game. But this time it will be a fight. It’s a very one-sided fight. Of course, I’ve been ugly in the past, but that’s because I’m conceited. If I don’t pay attention, there’s no chance I’ll lose to Cha Mu-gyeol!”
The interview video quickly surpassed hundreds of thousands of views.
The reporters of ‘Brawlers’ blew the whistle once again.
“I guess people are interested in this game, senior.”
“The number of views proves it, right? Jang Woo-yong’s interview received 45,000 views and Chae Won-gi’s interview received 800,000 views.”
“It would be great if Mugyeol could even get an interview.”
“I know. But where do you find him? He got kicked out of the gym and never got a call from us.”
“Still, I guess the interview with Ariel Watson had some effect.”
“that’s right. They said PPV pre-orders for North America as well as Asia have now ended.”
As Kang Hye-min said, RCF 87’s pay-per-view (PPV) sales record was soaring from the beginning.
Unlike ticket sales, which sell the most the moment they open, PPV sales records increase as the competition approaches.
However, PPV of RCF 87 showed very high sales from the time of opening.
“Jang Woo-yong is originally famous as a no-jam champ, and even though it was against Korea and Japan, gukppong was only for domestic use. This matchup would not have affected overseas PPV sales.”
“Then it must be because of the co-main.”
“okay. The interview with Ariel Watson and Dave White was a hit.”
“Honestly, it was a heartbreaking interview. You represent the weak! I also want to buy a PPV.”
“You’re going to go to the stadium and see for yourself.”
“Hehe, that’s what you mean.”
“Anyway, it’s unusual. The fact that a player before 0 pro can pull off aggro like this is itself.”
“Moogyeol, where is he and what are he doing now?”
“well. I don’t know.”
However, Kang Hye-min’s expression was full of confidence.
“But, wherever you are, aren’t you preparing something to surprise us?”
* * *
While the world is buzzing with anticipation for RCF 87.
Mugyeol was living a surprisingly quiet life.
When news broke that his professional debut match had been scheduled, the entire school flocked to the 7th class of the 2nd year to watch him every break.
“I heard that he was caught in the match?”
“Ooh, so you’re going to be a real pro fighter now?”
“He’s fucking cool… Wasn’t he the kid who was beaten up by the Iljins until spring?”
“I wonder how the training will go.”
“Aren’t you doing shadowboxing in the back of the classroom every break?”
“No. You must be doing a handstand?”
“Hey, let’s go and have a look.”
However, Mugyeol only slept on his stomach every time and did not even do anything similar to training.
The students who came to watch the pro fighter’s flashy training couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment.
“Ah, what… are you taking a fucking leisurely nap?”
“I know. Aren’t you doing any training?”
“Isn’t it at the gym after school?”
“Haven’t you even seen New Tube? You got kicked out of the gym.”
While the onlookers were exchanging conversations, Mugyeol, who had been lying on his stomach, shuddered.
The onlookers were startled and screamed.
“Ah, what a fucking surprise!”
“Why are you suddenly fussing?”
“That is it. Sleeping on your stomach and waking up with a shudder.”
“Oh that? I know what it is.”
“Are you going to sleep like that?”
“No. It’s embarrassing and pretending to be sleeping.”
“Wow, that’s right. After that, you can’t get up because you’re embarrassed.”
However, contrary to their expectations, Mugyeol was deeply asleep.
And the shaking of his body was not the usual shudders experienced while sleeping on his stomach.
My body moved because it really stimulated my muscles.
Even while sleeping, the flawless body was changing.
The day I beat the Jongno branch officials at the ‘Welcome to Hell’.
The ‘Game Preparation Protocol’ was opened with the message that the cumulative points exceeded 500 for the first time.
The gist of the ‘match preparation protocol’ was simple.
A system that provides necessary things to players ahead of the game.
The protocol is feasible six weeks prior to the start of the game and is not feasible during normal times.
It’s a perfect system to use right now with six weeks left in the game.
The ‘match preparation protocol’ was largely divided into two options.
The first practical sparring option number 10.
If the ‘Challenge Mission’ was a mission to digest an infinite number of 3-minute rounds, the sparring of ‘Match Preparation Protocol’ is conducted in an environment similar to that of a real match as much as possible.
In other words, you can do 10 rounds of 5-minute 3-round sparring that is close to real life.
But the real appeal of this protocol is the second option.
Second physical training option.
[You can do physical training in a virtual space!]
[Time in that space flows five times slower than real time!]
[Physical in that space and physical in reality are interlocked!]
You can do physical training in a virtual space. system that can.
‘This is it!’
Moo-gyeol clenched his fists as soon as he saw the message.
The cost of executing the ‘Competition Preparation Protocol’ is 500pt.
On the other hand, the cost of raising the D-class skill level by one level was 500 points, so I had to choose flawless.
Are you going to move one of your kicks or jiu-jitsu wrestling from a D+ level to a C?
Or will you focus on leveling up physically by executing the ‘match preparation protocol’?
Mugyeol chose the latter without hesitation.
True strength is obtained when physical and technique are in perfect harmony.
Mugyeol continued his 1st round knockout streak in both ‘Real Fighter’ and ‘Welcome to Hell’.
However, against Chae Won-ki, who is a skilled professional, he may have to run all three rounds of 5 minutes.
In such a situation, the weakness of physical strength will be revealed.
‘What I need right now is to raise my cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength to the limit!’
Having made up her mind, Mugyeol pressed the hologram firmly.
[Execute ‘match preparation protocol’!]
[Use 500 points!]
From that day on, Mugyeol accessed the virtual physical training center whenever he had a chance.
Dig-.
As soon as you access the system, your consciousness will drift away and you will fall into a deep sleep in reality.
Space movement similar to that of ‘Challenge Mission’.
However, inside it is not a virtual MMA fighter, but a huge variety of training equipment and an endlessly wide training mat. And…
“Ha-Neu-! Dooul-! Lift harder!”
“Kwaaaaak…”
“Don’t make a dying noise! This is why it can be called a fighter!”
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
“Okay two more! Challenge your limits! Go beyond yourself!”
“Fuck! He told me to do just one more!”
“Tzua, close your mouth and lift it!”
…There was even a training assistant-style trainer that seemed to be the system’s preference.
Even if you access the system for just 30 minutes, you can get the effect of training for 150 minutes, or 2 hours and 30 minutes.
After training in the virtual space, I really felt muscle pain all over my body.
It was painful, but ironically, it was a proud pain.
That muscle pain was the biggest proof of his growth.
In the real world, out of the system, I focused on recovery and sound sleep.
The physical level does not go up just by tearing muscle fibers.
After exercising your muscles, you should give them time to recover by taking in rich nutrition and taking quality rest.
Training meal and good night’s sleep.
It was a process that I had repeated enough in my past life, but this time it was definitely different.
‘Is this the power of SSS-class body potential?’
Needless to say, the speed of skeletal muscle density and muscle growth was fast.
In addition, the speed of muscle recovery was also beyond imagination.
Turning the pages of a novel with these high-quality muscles!
There was no waste of talent like this.
The physical development was different day by day, so the training was so much fun.
Of course, it wasn’t enough time to build a body.
However, the five-fold increase in time and amazing resilience significantly raised Mugyeol’s physical level.
The change caught the eye of the people around him first.
Moogyeol took kicking lessons at Im Jin-soo’s house three times a week.
Im Jin-soo was surprised whenever he saw Moo-gyeol banging on the punching bag.
“Mugyeol, how come your body seems to be getting lighter?”
“Is your kick a bit light?”
“No no, I don’t mean that. The kick is heavy, but the swing is very fast and light.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“of course! Hey, maybe it’s because he’s young, so his body is getting better.”
Not only Im Jin-soo, but Moo-gyeol himself was directly experiencing it.
That my body is gradually changing to be suitable for battle.
It’s been 3 weeks since I trained physically with ‘Competition Preparation Protocol’.
As usual, on the way home from class, a fat shadow blocked Mugyeol’s path.
“mind! How are you sir!”
It’s been a long time since I heard a strong accent dialect.
It was Choi Seok-doo who had been stabbed by Mu-gyeol in ‘Real Fighter’.
“It’s good to see the new god!”
“…”
“If someone greets you, accept it!”
I heard that Choi Seok-doo was admitted to the Apgujeong branch of the RCF.
And the director of the RCF Apgujeong branch is Han Dae-geun.
It was a gym with the largest number of heavyweight officials in RCF and had a close relationship with the Jongno branch.
So, as soon as I saw Choi Seok-doo, I was sure of his integrity.
This guy must be a spy sent by Chae Won-ki and Han Dae-geun.
A spy to see how far I’ve progressed.
“Were we close enough to say hello?”
“It’s still cheap. I don’t need to talk for a long time. Since we met after a long time, let’s split the game.”
“…”
“I don’t want to ask to hang out on the street like a gangster, but I’m at my workout near Apgujeong.”
“…”
“How are you? Aren’t you kidding me?”
“okay. let’s go.”
Mugyeol accepted the fight even though he knew he was a spy.
Because he wanted to test how much physical level he raised with the system.
“M! Today is the day of revenge, you slut!”
