Chapter 056: The Last 30

As Soo-yeon said, this match seemed like it would be a match worth watching.

Among the two people standing facing each other on the playground, one was a man wearing a suit and glasses, looking like an office worker, and the other was a man holding a wooden sword and wearing a hanbok.

“There will be a showdown between Hunter Kim Tae-hoon and Hunter Gam Cheol-soo.”

The hunter in the suit was Taehun Kim.

His ability is mind control.

In the first round, he used that ability to make one of the staff members dance.

Maybe, I thought the game could be over in the shortest time.

“start!”

Simultaneously with Gilliant’s cry, the two glared at each other and kept them in check.

When Kim Tae-hun stretched out his hand, Gam Cheol-soo’s hand was raised toward the sky as expected.

However, Cheol-soo Gam unexpectedly endured Tae-hoon Kim’s mind control.

Of course, he looked like he was struggling with sweat dripping from his forehead, but he kept his mouth shut.

Kim Tae-hoon must have tried to get Gam Cheol-soo to abstain with his ability.

The two did not move for a long time.

“That guy Cheol-soo Gam, doesn’t he have great mental strength?”

“I saw it in the first round, but it’s definitely amazing.”

Gam Cheol-soo introduced himself as a natural person.

He lived in the mountains since he was young, so he had a personality like an old person, but he was in his twenties, similar to us.

“Are you holding up well? Then how about this one?”

The moment Kim Tae-hun said that and withdrew his energy, Gam Cheol-soo ran to him.

However, Taehoon Kim was rather smiling.

When he stretched out his hand again, the wooden sword wielded by Gam Chul-soo was about to touch Kim Tae-hoon’s waist.

Cheol-soo Gam, who stopped his body, immediately collapsed with a hearty laugh.

“Pa ha ha ha. don’t do it! evil! Tickle! Ha ha ha ha.”

“Some say that the torture that people suffer the most is being tickled. It is my victory.”

“ah. f*ck! Ha ha ha! Okay so this one! Undo it! Ha, surrender! surrender! Kick kick kick.”

Hearing Gam Cheol-soo rolling on the floor like a madman, Gillian held up Kim Tae-hoon’s hand.

“The winner, Taehoon Kim!”

In addition, hunter Lee Sun-hyeong won by applying debuff magic to the opponent and buff magic to himself with a buff and debuff wizard using mana.

That’s how the first game ended, and 60 hunters who would advance to the round of 30 were decided.

*

“The audition held by Avengers for several days is very popular. A total of 120 hunters participated in this tournament finals, and now the last 30 are… … .”

Beep-

“Experts have suggested that this tournament can contribute to the advancement of hunters’ skills by being able to see the hunters’ ingenious battles.”

Beep-

Every time Pyo Tae-min turned the screen, all the news was talking about the Avengers audition.

“Breaking news. This time around the gate, the guilds clashed. The guilds that collided this time are the Alumni Guild and the White Lotus Guild. Unfortunately, this incident resulted in death… … .”

“what?!”

Pyo Tae-min jumped up from his seat.

This was the first time that a death occurred in a confrontation between guilds.

“The police announced that the direct cause of death was an accident caused by a monster, not by a hunter, and told them to refrain from fighting within the gate as much as possible, as there are many risk factors.”

The reason Pyo Tae-min was surprised was not because he knew who had died.

If things like this make a lot of noise, it was because of the government’s order to the Hunters.

It was because it would somehow affect the lives of the hunters.

And that meant that the Korean branch of the Guard, which mediates between the government and the hunters, would be busy.

“grandfather! Did you see the news?”

Pyo Tae-min immediately called Pyo Cheon-deuk.

“I saw. Go to work.”

“Yes, I will go right away.”

Pyo Tae-min, who received Pyo Chun-deuk’s instructions, couldn’t turn off the TV, asking if he should leave in a hurry.

“On the other hand, the Democratic Party said that it thought this could harm civilians, and it was time to quickly implement the amendment of the Hunter Act, which was delayed, so it was time for the National Assembly to come forward.”

The party’s position on this matter was being announced on the TV.

*

After two days of competition, the final 30 people were selected.

The subsequent confrontation was a fan service type tournament.

Now, the hunters also enjoyed the confrontation, and the spectators were enthusiastic as if they were watching sports.

In particular, people asked the question, ‘Which of the hunters will count?’ and talked about their expected rankings.

“Hey, is there still a Hunter who can beat the Pungnyu Sword?”

“If you’re an Elementalist, maybe you can win?”

“Don’t talk. The Pungnyu Sword is the best.”

“There is also a swordsman.”

“They are the only sun and moon in the world.”

The three people who were chattering in the stands talked.

“Oh, I see. Then, who do you think will win first place in this competition?”

The man who put his face in between them asked a question.

“Oh, I’m surprised.”

“who are you?”

“No, after hearing the stories of the three of you, I think you have an excellent eye. I couldn’t help but ask.”

It was Brian who smiled brightly.

He, too, was watching from the bleachers.

“Kuhm, I think there is someone who can beat Kim Tae-hoon. It’s too much. It’s mind control.”

“But Gak Cheol-soo endured, albeit for a short while.”

When Brian pointed out a loophole in the man’s analysis, the man shook his head.

“But in the end, you gave up. No one can beat that.”

“okay.”

Beep.

Just then, a bell rang in Brian’s pocket.

“Excuse me. It was a pleasure to talk to you.”

After he left to answer the phone, the three looked at each other and shrugged.

“Doesn’t it make you feel bad when he smiles?”

“Am I a little creepy?”

“Let’s see the game.”

When Brian came out of the crowd and answered the phone, he heard Pyo Chun-deuk’s voice on the other side.

-I have something for you to do. Where are you now?

“This is the Avengers Tournament Stadium.”

-That’s not important right now. come back soon I think we should go to headquarters.

“All right.”

It was not an ordinary situation if you had to go directly to the headquarters in the United States and report.

Brian turned to the exit after taking a look at the lower level demon board entering the playground.

[I will trust you. I have an urgent business. Report the results to me separately.]

[all right.]

To Brian, who instructed using magic, Pan also answered with magic.

*

“The first confrontation in the semifinals is between Hunter Lee Sung-jun and Hunter Kim Tae-hoon.”

It was the semi-finals.

A total of 4 Hunters survived until the end.

“Seo Jun-ah, who will win this?”

In response to Minyoung’s question, I recalled each person’s abilities.

Certainly Kim Tae-hoon had the advantage in many ways, but the problem was the mentality of Song Seol-ho and Lee Cheol-geun.

Moreover, his opponent in the semi-finals was Lee Seong-jun, a demon.

Will mind control work on demons?

That seemed to be the biggest variable.

“Now there are too many variables, so I don’t even know.”

that was my answer

“It begins.”

As Lee Hwi-hyung said, Kim Tae-hoon and Lee Seong-joon began to circle while keeping each other in check.

It was Lee Seong-jun who moved first.

It was a disadvantageous situation for Kim Tae-hoon if he could not find Lee Seong-jun, who hid himself with great speed.

Pod!

At that time, Seongjun Lee appeared and tried to bring the dagger to Taehun Kim’s back neck.

And at that moment, Lee Seong-jun’s body stiffened as if time had stopped.

“Why do assassins always attack from behind? You don’t know that it will be your weakness, don’t you?”

Watching Kim Tae-hoon turn around with a relaxed expression on his face, I couldn’t help but admire him.

This time, I had no choice but to see that the demons were careless.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“Did Kim Tae-hoon predict the move of that demon?”

“It’s probably the result of an analysis rather than a prediction.”

“analyze?”

“Until now, during the confrontation, Lee Seong-jun kept aiming for people’s backs. And every time it was blocked by Gilliant. Taehoon Kim remembered that pattern.”

“Come to think of it, did Gilliant not move this time?”

After hearing my explanation, Min-young felt strange and asked.

As Min-young saw right away, Gilliant was watching the confrontation without moving.

“Not even Gillian. That Taehoon Kim can block the attack.”

Kim Tae-hoon had a habit of raising his arm when using his ability.

This time was no exception.

Seongjun Lee disappeared and Taehoon Kim raised his arm.

At the same time, his ability was used, and Gilliant read the aura.

“amazing. After all, is it the strongest race?”

After hearing my explanation, Min-young was looking at Giliant with respect.

However, Kim Tae-hoon’s mind control could not hold the demon for long.

Lee Seong-jun soon released the mind control and attacked Kim Tae-hoon once again.

As if he had listened to his advice, this time he disappeared and reappeared everywhere, harassing Kim Tae-hun.

And before the decisive attack was launched, it was blocked by Gilliant.

“You think you are the center of the world, but don’t be too conceited. There is no skill with as many weaknesses as mind control.”

The dagger Lee Seong-joon placed on Kim Tae-hoon’s neck trembled.

If Gilliant had been a little late, the dagger would have been stuck in Kim Tae-hoon’s throat.

Taehoon Kim was shocked and couldn’t say anything.

It was to the extent that you could see from his expression that he felt a momentary threat to his life.

“Lee Seong-jun wins!”

After Gilliant dropped the two of them, Seongjun Lee raised his hand, and Taehun Kim sat down, as if his legs were weakened.

“Okay. Mind control requires you to see the other person’s appearance. And it doesn’t work well against opponents who voluntarily escape after being caught once!”

Kwon Yi-hyeon definitely had good eyesight and analytical skills.

He seemed like someone who had taken on many missions in which the lives of his teammates went back and forth with a momentary judgment.

“Oh~ Mister, are you doing something?”

“Keuheum, can’t you hear my brother’s voice with this?”

“what.”

“What?”

There was no way Soo-yeon would allow such a thing because of her personality.

Next was the confrontation between Lee Cheol-geun and Song Seol-ho.

“start!”

With the signal, Lee Cheol-geun changed his body to steel, and Song Seol-ho transformed into a tiger and attacked.

The two collided and entered into a power struggle.

“Fierce! Push or pass! Hunter Lee Cheol-geun is the first hunter not to be pushed back by Hunter Song Seol-ho.”

Until now, most hunters have been pushed or knocked down by Song Seol-ho’s power.

The tiger that Song Seol-ho transformed into was agile and strong.

go by go!

Song Seol-ho’s claws scratched Lee Cheol-geun’s body, making a sound he didn’t want to hear.

Pod!

The two moved away from each other at the same time. The two, who entered the confrontation again, moved on, aiming for each other’s gap.

It was Lee Cheol-geun who moved first this time.

His heavy-looking steel fist swung quickly.

Song Seol-ho evaded the fist and slipped away, scratching the ground with his claws, then turned around and threw himself at Lee Chul-geun’s back.

At that moment, Lee Cheol-geun turned around and tried to defend himself, but Song Seol-ho was faster.

Her tiger paws pressed against Lee Cheol-geun’s chest and her teeth dug into Lee’s shoulder.

Because Lee Cheol-geun’s body had been turned into steel, he was not seriously injured, but he was suppressed by force.

“Kreureung.”

“Ha, I lost.”

Song Seol-ho never let go of his shoulder and Lee Cheol-geun eventually admitted defeat.

“Two!”

Song Seol-ho, who had transformed into a human again, spat and smiled.

“Your strength is amazing.”

“I’d believe you even if you were a tiger descendant.”

After a short break, the finals began immediately.

Lee Seong-joon and Song Seol-ho, who met in the final, did not rush at each other recklessly.

The two of them were wary of each other.

“Still, it’s a demon, won’t it be pushed back?”

“It would be like that if I showed myself as a demon. However, Seongjun Lee would never do that in front of us.”

Min-young worried all the time that some of the hunters facing off against the demons might get hurt.

Luckily that didn’t happen, but I was nervous too.

Still, if he came to infiltrate us, it seemed that he wouldn’t use the demon’s power recklessly.

And the previous confrontations were proving that my guess was correct.

He kept hiding his magic from us.

“Kheung!”

Song Seol-ho, who had been paying attention, rushed at him, showing his teeth first.

Lee Seong-jun, who lightly dodged her attack, was riding on her back before he knew it.

“what?!”

As Song Seol-ho, who was surprised, moved around violently to drop Lee Seong-jun, the confrontation between the two became a rodeo before he knew it.

“profit! away!”

Song Seol-ho jumped up with great force and tried to slam his back to the ground.

When everyone looked surprised at the tiger falling upside down, Seongjun Lee got out of the spot before it hit the ground.

thud!

Song Seol-ho, who fell from his back to the ground, fainted and the transformation was released.

“Lee Seong-jun wins!”

In the end, the tournament ended with the demon taking first place.

“Are you okay? You know you’re a demon, right?”

“are you okay. Rather good. You just have to roll around using the fact that you won first place. This time, he did something stupid.”

The team members were worried about whether it would be possible for the demons to win first place, but it turned out well.

Now that I’ve been in the spotlight, I won’t be able to act recklessly.

“You have to roll it very well.”

“Seojun, your expression is scary right now.”

“The demons are pitiful. What are we afraid of? Great. Roll it very well at this point. Ji is shocked and runs away.”

I was thinking of doing as Soo-yeon said.

All I had to do was entrust him with a lot of work on the pretext that I had the skills to be number one, and harass him so that he wouldn’t be able to do the undercover mission.

You would have thought that if we won first place, we would use you as an aide, but that’s not the case.
