Leap (4)

Sejin Guild’s camp.

All the team members and staff held their breaths and looked at Choi Hyo-min’s personal cam.

[Kwaang… ! Aww… ! ]

After three weeks of hard practice, Choi Hyo-min, who went beyond double casting and learned triple casting, attacked with all her heart to destroy the witch’s castle.

[Koogugugugugugung… … ! ]

Finally, he succeeded in destroying the witch’s castle.

[ done… ! ]

“Wow!”

“Choi Hyo-min did it!!!!”

“I won… ! The Black Rose defeated the Queens!!!!”

With the voice of Choi Hyo-min full of joy, thunderous shouts erupt from the surroundings.

The staff and team members who have dedicated themselves to the victory of Black Rose embraced each other and shared the joy.

“Congratulations… !”

“Captain! Congratulations on returning to 1st place!”

“I firmly believed that Sejin would take first place again… ! big black… .”

“Everyone worked hard.”

The executives of the Sejin Guild who were on the scene and Hyeri Lee also shared the joy and celebrated the victory… .

‘You did it… !’

Of course, I was happy too.

However, it was not really over until the end, so I restrained the joy as much as possible.

The Witch’s Castle has collapsed, but there are still witches left, and you must prepare for an unexpected attack by the Queens.

It won’t be too late even if everything is over and the cannons are fired.

“Mr. Hyomin. I think we should join Minju-san and Inna-san and wipe out the remaining monsters first. And if Queens appear, avoid fighting as much as possible.”

[ yes! ]

After regaining my composure, I immediately gave the next instruction, and I briefly discussed with Lim Lim, the commander of the command team, who had changed the communication channel, and looked back at any possible variables.

But… .

[ Subjugation complete! I’ll be right back! ]

Contrary to the concerns, the Heavenly Guild did not take any action to the extent that it was strange.

‘You’re not even attacking? What the hell are you doing?’

The common subjugation zone is the only place that can legally inflict direct damage.

This means that it is a unique opportunity to legally break the ankle of a competitor.

So, of course, I thought that the Tenhwa Guild, who had been deprived of the rankings, would run to stop Black Rose from drinking alone… .

Perhaps there was a problem with the command system due to the absence of a professional producer, or there was no interference in the process of subjugating the remains.

[ It seems that the Cheonhwa Guild side gave up their hands altogether. ]

After thinking for a while at Lim Sang-seop’s voice coming out of the headphones, I emphasized the need to be careful right before I came out of the gate.

“There is a possibility that they are guarding at the gate entrance. Just in case you don’t know, I think it would be better to make a big detour and come back.”

[Are you sure you want to do that? ]

“If it were me, I would do that.”

The world of winning is a cruel law.

If your competitor suffers even a one-week injury, it all pays off.

Since the common subjugation zone is a place with such a risk, there is nothing wrong with being even more careful.

[ All right. So, let’s go back to the 3rd detour. ]

‘How will it come out? .’

Guessing the situation of the Heavenly Flower Guild like that, how long has it been for the main force to return safely?

“Black Rose is back!”

Contrary to concerns, Black Rose returned without any problems,

“It’s four o’clock in the afternoon! Ranking is being updated!!”

Just in time, the time was on time, and the real-time team rankings began to be updated.

[ 1st Black Rose (↑) NEW! ]

[ 2nd Queens (↓) NEW! ]

Finally, the queen was removed from the throne.

*

Immediately after the witch’s castle collapses, they realize that they have been defeated.

The members of Queens were silently heading towards the gate entrance without saying a word.

“… … .”

The three of course thought that further instructions would come.

Whether it was subjugating the remaining monsters to get points, or interfering with Black Rose and scattering ashes.

Because I didn’t want to pass the 1st place just like this.

However… .

[ Uh, what do I do!? ]

[ Those crazy bastards, where the hell are you destroying the whole castle!? Don’t subdue other people, this is it!? ]

[After a surprise attack… ! ]

[No, no surprise! Waiting at the entrance… ! ]

[After all, the one who gets the most points… . ]

The command post, which had very poor coping ability, showed incompetence in unexpected situations,

In the end, Hong Yu-ra, who was greatly disappointed, announced that she would just return and effectively ended the subjugation.

“… … .”

The members of Queens achieved first place and were deeply heartbroken at the loss they faced for the first time.

It felt even more painful in that it was not an inevitable defeat due to a difference in power, but was helplessly defeated even though it had an overwhelming advantage.

‘… U.S… , lost… ?’

Among them, Seol Joo-hee was the most disappointing.

She, who was at the unrivaled lead, felt this defeat particularly bitter.

A blot was stamped on the blue scoring paper, which was filled with only correct answers.

Because there were scratches on his unique career that no one could fault.

Of course, it wasn’t that he had never experienced defeat before ascending to the throne he is today… .

This was the first time I had come down from the throne.

‘… it can be This is quite what I expected.’

Seol Joo-hee thought about the rankings that would be changed, but thought it was nothing.

It’s a team that has just changed its system, so it’s definitely a possible outcome.

It’s only a few tens of thousands of points, so it’s a difference that can be reversed.

It’s not the members’ fault, it’s the team members’ fault, who planned the strategy wrong from the beginning.

At least I didn’t do anything wrong.

Desperately rationalizing like that, he calmed his unpleasantly pounding heart.

“… … .”

Eventually, we reached the entrance to the gate.

aah—!

aah—!

Seol Joo-hee, who had sent Hong Yu-ra and Lim A-rin outside first, looked up at the huge gate that vibrated like a haze.

Is it okay if I go out of the gate like this?

Will he be able to withstand the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere he has never experienced before?

gulp-

In order to overcome the faintly rising fear, Seol Juhee slowly closed her eyes and stepped out of the gate.

And the moment you came out with the sensation of being sucked in through your body.

“… !”

Surprised by the countless gazes that fell on him, he took a short breath.

Several cameras twinkling indifferently and dozens and hundreds of eyes flickering quietly.

It is said that you know ten roads in the water, but you do not know the people in one road.

Seol Joo-hee could not understand the meaning of the gaze they sent to themselves.

Is it resentment?

Or is it disappointment?

At least, I thought it wouldn’t be a look of consolation.

“hey! What are you doing if you don’t receive the equipment quickly!”

someone’s voice

“Sir, excuse me… !”

The waiting equipment team rushed in and began to carefully dismantle Seol Joo-hee’s equipment.

less… less…

Seol Joo-hee quietly accepted their hand and removed the sponsored equipment.

Turning his head indifferently, he glanced at the eyes that were still pouring on him one by one.

and… .

she noticed

The fact that no one is looking at you.

‘Where are you looking? ?’

Seol Joo-hee felt fear at the unfamiliar and lonely sensation.

In the eyes of others, she lived a splendid life that could be described as everyday life.

I was afraid of unfamiliar emotions that I had never felt before.

She had taken it for granted that everyone envied and looked up to her.

It’s natural to be envious of people who are better than you, and to be jealous of people who are good-looking.

Mistaking that she had mastered all human emotions, she became a child in the face of strange indifference.

Finally, he could see that his indifference had come from his own defeat.

‘You’re just saying you lost once… ?’

Seol Joo-hee clenched her fists in a rising sense of shame.

When they came out after subjugating the gate in a flashy way, everyone congratulated them and clapped their hands to congratulate them on their achievements.

However… .

The loser has nothing.

It would have been better to say that I lost because of you and blame it.

People were just looking at Seol Joo-hee with indifferent eyes,

Seol Joo-hee had to feel a sense that her mind was about to collapse due to her indifference.

But at that moment.

“What!?”

Like Lee Hye-ri, the head of the group, Nook-il Kook-il, who was present at the scene, was the flagship and attracted the attention of the people around him.

“… … ?”

Nook-Il looked at the gathering gaze for nothing, lowered his voice and began to crave an employee like a mouse,

I’ll turn my attention just in time. Seol Joo-hee, who was in need, approached Gok-il and gently spoke up.

“… What is it?”

OK.

“Uh-huh!? Nothing… ! You must be tired, so change your clothes and rest… !”

Every nook and cranny was suspiciously evasive, then swung the employee who was holding onto him and tried to send him away.

“… What are you hiding?”

Seol Joo-hee, who was still uncomfortable with planting, slowly approached Nook-il with a stern expression.

“Oh, it’s because it’s nothing… .”

It’s a corner where he avoids answering as if it’s an awkward story.

His actions touched the heart of Seol Joo-hee, who had already been suppressed.

Seol Joo-hee, who thought that even nooks and crannies were ignoring her, involuntarily spewed out a cold spit and demanded an answer.

“Tell me right now.”

“Well, what do you mean… . ha ha ha… .”

Seol Joo-hee, who was watching the corner work, desperately avoiding answers in a cold sweat, shifted her gaze to the employee who was standing over his shoulder.

ugh-

The employee who made eye contact felt his life threatened for a moment because of the life that was strangling his neck, and he hurriedly shouted after ignoring Nookil’s request.

“I heard that there is a producer over there!”

“… producer?”

“you you! say that… !”

Seol Joo-hee, who seems to have lost her life as if she didn’t understand right away, is shocked and scolds the staff.

“that is… , Excuse me?”

Seol Joo-hee, sensing something unusual, once again asked the staff for a detailed explanation.

“Producer Do and Do Ji-hyuk personally directed Black Rose… !”

“… What?”

I finally realized the truth.
