< Episode 70. Playing Coach (5) >

The moment I heard her words, I unknowingly flinched.

You say you don’t put in an offer?

“No matter how game makers are… You can’t help but notice the audience. Aren’t there a lot of gods still waiting for me to come out?”

“ha. Where should I begin to explain? Do you know who the game maker is?”

I shook my head at Aserian’s question.

No matter how much I searched the community, only the title of game maker came up, and there was no specific mention of who it was.

That’s why I was just guessing that it might be a god with a higher rank.

“Right now, the game maker in the higher league is Raphael, the 1st-class chivalry angel. He is one of only five archangels.”

“…well, isn’t it an angel anyway? Isn’t Aserian-sama higher?”

“no. Not only are they higher than me in terms of rank, but in the first place, the archangels are beings beyond that category of rank.”

Aserian’s words did not readily understand.

Until now, according to my common sense, of course, gods were higher beings than angels.

“I think I need a little more explanation.”

“hmm. Did you know that angels can be promoted to gods when they reach a certain rank?”

“yes.”

“If you become a 4th-class main angel, you can be promoted to a lower level god. Likewise, if you become a 3rd-class left angel, you can be promoted to a middle-level god, and a 2nd-class jicheonsa can be promoted to an upper-level god. That’s why the first-class chiangels are the same beings as the old gods.”

At Aserian’s words, I nodded.

“I know roughly what kind of system it is. By the way, aren’t there the ministers and principals on top of the gods? If you put it like that, it wouldn’t be a very high rank.”

“Theoretically, yes, but in reality, the chiangels are treated almost the same as the principals. This is because of the symbolism of the five angels who serve the father closest.”

“…”

“Raphael, who keeps making no offers to us, is one of those five angels.”

“…!”

sh*t.

After hearing Aserian’s words, I realized that I was making a mistake.

In short, it meant that the main god and one of the top players were fighting for strength.

A being that high would be able to ignore the demands of the audience.

It’s not like I’m going to bury one of them.

‘I thought I was holding the hilt.’

It turned out that he was holding the blade of his opponent’s outstretched sword.

Then, as Aserian said, continuing to stretch like this was not a good idea.

If you make a mistake, you can rot in the higher league for the rest of your life without being able to rise to the higher league.

It was not a question of whether or not there was a loss.

“hmm. Having said that, it’s a situation I can’t refuse. All right.”

“Phew. Make a wise choice. Then I will tell the game maker that I will participate in the interstellar competition.”

Only then did Aserian let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was trembling inwardly about what to say to me.

‘Tsk. I thought too much about the game.’

From now on, I thought I should check the outside of the game enough.

After I said that I would participate in the Star Wars, I had a busy day.

“Joo Chang-beom. I’m not feeling well these days. What’s wrong?”

“Ah, bro. My skills haven’t improved lately. My stats go up, but it feels like I’m stepping in place.”

“Oh, very nice.”

“Is it good?”

“yes. It means that the superlative is right in front of you. To be at the top level in just 9 months is amazing.”

“Ah, since I thought so, it was a situation where I really should have liked it! thank you bro It made me feel more at ease.”

“If you have any other concerns, let me know. Don’t keep it inside.”

In the meantime, if you only took care of the game-related aspects such as players’ stats and techniques, now you have started to manage the non-game parts as well.

But that didn’t mean I had a lot of work to do.

“Mo Yong-ak. What’s wrong?”

“ah······. Since I wasn’t used to this place, I made a mistake with Luciano, whom I was close to. So these days, they keep away from me.”

“Do not worry too much. Luciano-san knows that Mo Yong-ak is not used to it yet. However, I’m probably appealing that I want you to be more careful in the future, so if Mo Yongak-nim shows you a different side for a few days, Luciano-san will return as usual.”

Just doing my training.

If there were players who seemed to be struggling with something, I just listened to them.

Not stopping there, I suggested to Aserian to lift the ban on the farm.

“Prohibition?”

“yes. The stress on the players seemed to be at its peak. I see a lot of sensitive appearance even in trivial things. In fact, as a human being, you cannot live like a machine by training every day.”

“hmm······. There’s nothing like drinking to relieve stress. But will it be okay?”

“Of course, there will be more incidents than before. But if you leave it as it is, it will become a bigger problem. You think we’ve been too comfortable managing our players. And now there are two angels too.”

“Well, these days everyone has a bad expression. um, good Let’s lift the ban.”

This is what I realized when I became a playing coach and started caring for the players.

That there was nothing to relieve their stress.

Those who go to the game and live with the psychological pressure of not knowing when they will die.

After going through arduous training there every day, people who wanted to taste it mentally began to come out one by one.

Having received permission from Aserian, I called all the players to the clearing.

“You can drink alcohol from today. I told Lee Se-yeon in advance, so after work is over, eat freely.”

“Wowaaa! It’s alcohol!”

“really? Can I really drink it?”

“under······. lived…”

As soon as I finished my words, the players cheered with laughter.

It was a very explosive reaction.

In the meantime, everyone was desperately wanting alcohol.

Even Kairosia, who usually had a cold face, was smiling lightly.

‘It can’t end like this.’

aaa-

In an instant, a tremendous amount of life erupted from my body.

An intense sense of life filled the vacant lot.

“It is good to drink.”

Then, the noisy players fell into silence in an instant.

“but.”

Everyone froze as they cheered.

“If there is a death or a s*x crime related to drinking, I will not let it go. I swear by my name. I will let the words come out of his mouth, please kill me.”

“…!”

Players trembled all over due to the killing spree.

The emotions of the players, who were filled with joy and joy, fell to the bottom in an instant.

That’s why they must have felt my warning all the more frightening.

‘I think this is enough to plant a sense of alertness.’

Reaping the chilly life, I smiled brightly.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

Then, the players began to let out the breath they had been holding.

“It seems like everyone understood what I was saying, so let’s stop here.”

As lifting the prohibition order was a very sensitive issue, the intention was to clearly imprint today’s events by holding them up and down.

And my plan worked.

‘Not bad.’

There was not a single accident caused by drinking in the past week.

Even drinking too much the day before did not interfere with training.

The drinking culture has been successfully established.

“Woojin hyung. How about a drink today? The other brothers also decided to eat together.”

Dinner time after work.

I shook my head at Changbeom Joo’s suggestion.

“I am okay.”

“Ah, yes! If you ever change your mind, come to my room!”

Nodding my head to Chang-beom Chang, I headed towards the dorm.

The day must be over, so I thought about going to my room and resting.

It was then.

“Sobbing······.”

I heard someone muffled and weeping.

‘Who is it?’

The sound’s epicenter was behind the gym where I train with Kairosia.

When I approached quietly, I saw that Kairosia was crying with her face buried in her lap.

‘Tsk.’

Since it is a proud Cairosia, it is impossible to offer consolation hastily.

I pretended not to see her and walked towards the dorm.

Then he knocked on Lee Se-yeon’s door.

“who are you? Ah, Ahn Woo-jin!”

“I’m resting, I’m sorry. Are you okay for a moment?”

“Oh no! Even if it’s something you want me to do…”

I explained the situation in Cairosia to Lee Se-yeon, who tilted her head.

“That’s why, I was wondering if Lee Se-yeon could become Kairosia-sama’s drinking buddy. I know this is an unreasonable request, but Lee Se-yeon is the only person I should ask for help.”

“ah······.”

“Of course, you don’t have to do it if you feel uncomfortable. This is not an order, this is a request.”

Lee Se-yeon pondered over my words for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes, I’ll go to the back of the gym right now.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about the next day. I’ll talk about it separately, so come to work tomorrow at a time that’s convenient for you.”

It was a consideration for Lee Se-yeon, who wakes up earlier than the players to eat and clean.

“Oh, thank you.”

Seeing Lee Se-yeon pack a drink at a restaurant and head to Kairosia, I sneak into the roof of a nearby building.

I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on the conversation.

I was just worried that the overwhelmingly strong Cairosia would do any harm to Lee Se-yeon.

‘I can’t let Lee Se-yeon suffer any damage because of my request.’

Fortunately, what we feared did not happen.

Cairosia, who was caught crying, came out harshly for a while, but soon they started talking casually while drinking alcohol brought by Lee Se-yeon.

Seeing that, I let out a sigh of relief.

‘Huh, it’s not easy.’

Feels like being a nanny.

I’m sorry for Kairosia, but if it weren’t for Named, I wouldn’t have cared whether she cried or not.

Because I was too busy on my way to do that.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been looking at the night sky so leisurely.’

As I looked at the starlight scattered in the night sky, I suddenly thought of my family.

In an instant, my heart ached acutely.

‘I should have a drink after a long time.’

I leaned against the ceiling and took out a bottle of alcohol from my pocket.

It was the liquor Lee Se-yeon had brought with her in case of failure.

‘miss you.’

When I took a sip, my throat felt like it was on fire.

It’s been 11 years since I haven’t seen my family’s face, including the first episode.

‘mother. brother.’

I’m really sorry.

The front of my eyes became blurry.

family faces.

not drawn accurately.

‘Let’s not be weak.’

I immediately took a deep breath and calmed my mind.

Even so, the longing that once raised its head did not disappear easily.

Poof!

‘uh?’

The sight of Kairosia avoiding my spear sent chills down my spine.

That my attack failed.

[A fading snowflake!]

It was because her magic was activated.

‘Shadow movement.’

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!

At the same time as using the shadow movement behind Chang-beom Chang, a tremendous explosion hit his ears.

Above the haze of dust, Kairosia appeared with a faint smile.

“Did I? I can win now.”

Seeing that, I smiled bitterly.

It was a condition of not using perks and shadow marks, but I never thought they would defeat me.

More than I expected, Cairosia has grown at a much faster rate.

“I admit it. I really can’t stand it anymore.”

“So I can compete now too?”

I nodded at Kairosia’s words.

Unlike Mo Yong-ak and Goh Gun-ha, who had already made their debuts, Cairosia hadn’t played in the game yet.

It is because they nailed it saying that they would not let me participate until they beat me.

“I think this should be enough for now. Of course, close combat will continue in the future.”

In fact, I never imagined that Kairosia would grow so quickly.

I thought it would take at least 3 months…

‘With no melee experience at all, I would have thought he would block my attacks in only 5 weeks.’

Of course, if I turned on the perk, it would still be unmatched by my opponent, but it didn’t matter.

Because she will be playing in a lower league anyway.

Unless there is a name superior to me, there will be no one who can threaten her.

“Everyone has been through a lot. We will do it here for today.”

“You’ve worked hard, bro.”

“Thank you so much for today.”

It’s 6 o’clock in the evening.

It was time for dinner after work.

After saying good work to the players I sparred with, I left the arena.

Then Kairosia followed me with a familiar gesture.

“How are you doing these days?”

“It’s the same.”

“Are there any difficulties or difficulties?”

“yes.”

Cairosia was still chilly.

Are you building a wall for the people around you?

But I didn’t really care.

But these days, it’s because I’m getting along with Lee Se-yeon.

She was worried about what would happen if she, a high-ranking aristocrat, ignored Lee Se-yeon, a servant, but it was because she lived a life of slavery for a while.

‘If Kairosia rises to a higher league, there will be quite a few points.’

Mo Yong-ak and Goh Geon-ha are speeding up.

A four-room house that has been raising its share price for a while these days.

Cairosia found a lot of mental stability.

Up to the 3rd and 4th period, which are growing effortlessly.

Now I’ve done all I can.

‘Time will solve the rest.’

With that thought in mind, it was time to head to the restaurant.

“Ahn Woo-jin!”

Aserian poked his head out of the office window and called me.

I gestured to Kairosia to go to the dining room first, and then went to the office window.

“Did you call?”

“yes! It’s finally here! First match offer!”

“after. You just came in.”

It’s been two weeks since I announced my intention to participate in the interstellar battle to Aserian.

An offer was made to the game maker, which had been unknown for a while.

“yes. You’ve been waiting for a long time, right? You seem to be frustrated these days, but I’m glad.”

“When is the game?”

“High Blood Knight 112, 1 game. The type is Team PvM.”
