next day.

Sungjin woke up early in the morning and looked at an electronic board in the Hunter Casino.

A huge billboard with the person's name and photo. And next to it was written a number that changed every moment.

odds.

This was a place where you gambled to guess who would win among the hunters participating in the promotion and ranking matches.

And what is changing now is the odds on them.

'… It doesn't help.'

Sungjin looked at their odds and thought.

I didn't come here to gamble.

The ultimate goal is to hire talented people.

This could be useful information for finding this.

The lower the dividend rate, the stronger it can be said.

But it wasn't.

Probably because it was still the first day, the odds of the odds were incredibly low.

The one who was clearly eliminated from the preliminary round was the odds of 1.3 times.

Such people were numerous.

Perhaps it is because there are still many people betting on the popularity of hunters in each country.

Well, it's not just today, it's held throughout the game, so you'll be able to get more accurate information then.

Those who play one game and advance to the next have lower odds, though, so you'll have to calculate that too.

So, one by one, I found my name.

- Seongjin Kim, 2.3

Considering that the odds were based on a win, the odds were quite low.

Maybe yesterday's incident was a problem.

Yesterday, Asabel knocked out Jack Walker and her fame skyrocketed.

And at the same time, information about the guild she belongs to, Union, and the guild members who belonged there also began to spread.

Since there were not many official guild members, the spread was instant.

All guild members except yourself participated in the ranking match. Hearing that, anyone would be able to guess that there was something about him who participated in the promotion battle.

Well, it's not bad.

First of all, the reason I came here was because of the reputation of the guild.

'I thought I'd give it a try, but I can't.'

If it didn't stand out, I was going to bet all my fortune on myself to make some money, but looking at the current dividend rate, it doesn't seem like there will be much profit.

Rather, if you bet here, the dividend rate will decrease, and those who see it may pay it again.

It would be good to put some money in it.

I've never done it professionally, so I don't know how much to put in.

"Uh, Sungjin. Are you here?"

A man approached Sungjin's side.

It was Oliver Johnson, the manager of this casino and bougilma Oliver Johnson of the Infinity Guild.

“Everyone else is playing one game at a time, so why not come alone?”

Behind him, Nurari and Mana stood with rotten faces.

I didn't even have to ask what had happened.

Maybe he got caught by Oliver while he was gambling here to get some money.

And probably, he gambled and robbed like his former self.

"I'm sorry. I'm a little lost."

"How much do you have left?"

"I have recovered as much as I have earned, so there is nothing to worry about. Although I received about 10% of the money I brought for education."

While talking to Mana, Oliver interrupted.

He said as if he knew how much they were carrying.

He is a top-notch gambler.

He was not only good at gambling, but also at his ability to penetrate the mind of his opponent.

He doesn't miss the slightest bit of anxiety, and he's definitely aware of any injustice his opponent commits.

And, if the opponent was vigilant, he was cheating.

'No one can beat him when it comes to gambling.'

So you will know this too.

"Then can you teach me a bit? That, I don't know how much I have to put in to make a profit."

"Ah, I turned it this way. In the case of Seongjin-san, this would be more certain. I put quite a bit of money into this."

"Can the master put money in it?"

"Is it a policy to maximize profits?"

"It's embarrassing."

"Still, it's not without any damage. First of all, it's a lot of money."

"is that so."

I thought the dividend rate was particularly low, but since the parent company came out, that figure was natural.

Oliver Johnson picked up his phone for a moment and then raised his dividend by $10,000.

And he nodded his head as he saw the odds on the billboard go down.

"You can raise it up to 10 million, but more than that would be a waste."

"Is that so. Thank you."

"What. Instead, you have to win unconditionally. There's no such thing as intentionally losing or losing just because you let your opponent float, especially to those two."

Oliver said, pointing to the two men on the billboard.

They were the two with the lowest odds.

- Muramasa Kuzuryu, 1.2

- Asabel, 1.5

These two were the best in the test this time.

It was attracting attention with overwhelming grades than others.

Perhaps the skills of those two are real.

"I know. I also don't play go-stops."

"I'm glad that's it. Oh, it's time now, so let's go down."

Oliver looked at his watch for a moment and said.

It was now time for the players to prepare for the match.

This time, ranking matches were also included.

Seongjin looked at the three people going down first, then suddenly looked back.

“Muramasa Kuzuryu, is that…?”

It was a name I hadn't heard before.

***

Seongjin, separated from the party, went into the players waiting room and looked around.

He's been there before, but it's very different here.

First of all, there was a large tablet that each person had, like the audience seats, so he could watch the stadium with it.

Seongjin turned on the tablet without hesitation.

- A total of 30 players will participate in each group.

- Athletes may not leave the field of play.

- Players wear the target item, and if it is stolen or broken, it will be disqualified and forcibly expelled from the arena.

-For each elimination of a player, he earns 1 point.

- You are the winner when you get 5 points.

- When the winner returns to the players waiting room, he is eligible to play in the next match.

- If the winner is eliminated, the winner becomes the winner.

- If there is only one player left with insufficient points in the arena, the winner is considered.

When I opened the tablet, text appeared along with the video.

That was the rule of this battle.

I skimmed through it because I had sat in the audience and watched it before.

'Well, it's a simple survival game.'

In theory, up to five hunters could compete in the next match.

But so far, five players have never made it to a match.

usually two or three.

In some cases, there was even one.

All of these people belonged to different nationalities and affiliations.

It was difficult to ask for cooperation.

Even if you become a winner, you will be the first target, so you could not be vigilant until the end.

As a result, it was difficult to participate in the next match.

'Well, at this level, you have to be able to say that you have talent.'

When he came here, he brought out the target he had been given.

He was supposed to be able to attach it anywhere on the body as an item like a sticker.

I tapped it to see how durable it is. He was pretty tough, so it looked like he could easily block a B-class attack.

Even if it looks like this, it is a defensive item.

"Kek! Kim Seong-jin."

She was sitting quietly, the woman sitting next to her said.

"Excuse me. Allison."

"Why are you here?"

"Because I told you to go this way even if I asked why."

Seongjin calmly put the target on the back of his hand and said.

This was the waiting room for players who only joined the same group.

Hunters around them were already busy talking to each other or searching for people around them.

It was as if the fight had already begun.

"Article 34?"

"Yes."

“…there is no luck.”

There is nothing that cannot be said in the face of a person.

But she could do it for her.

She knew that Sungjin had the skill to blow her gates away.

She is probably thinking that she will fall if she takes it wrong.

"So what's the deal? You're not here because other people didn't join you, are you?"

“….”

"Is it Jeongguk?"

"What kind of survival game do you give this time to? You're telling the kids to openly have a party."

"It's rather difficult to collect points when you unite. You saw yesterday. What happened to those who gathered the party."

It's an impromptu party.

The party here is the same as the ball pot usually doesn't work well.

They are wary of each other and try to hide their skills and abilities.

Teaching can become a weakness and a target.

Even so, there was a party that had gathered, and internal divisions took place really quickly and it was disbanded because of the betrayal of one person.

A party here wasn't a very wise option.

"Still, I like being with you..."

At Allison's murmuring, Sungjin thought about her lineage.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“And then I saw that you were a supporter, right?”

"Hey, shut up."

"Oh, that's fine. Others won't hear us."

“…Is there such a function?”

"I made it."

- silence

A skill that creates an invisible, transparent magical wall, it had the effect of preventing the vibration of air below a certain level from going out.

'Still, I think I've become a little friendly.'

When I first saw it, I had a tendency to pay attention to my words and use my honorific title, but now I have quite a few words.

Yesterday's apology to clear up misunderstandings seemed to have worked a bit.

It was terribly annoying, though.

In particular, even though the misunderstanding was cleared up, Asabel did not resolve the boundaries yet.

"Don't worry too much. If it's you, you'll go up."

"…done."

She sat right next to him and held the tablet together.

Then she looked around.

Sungjin also followed her gaze.

The atmosphere was definitely not good.

'It's probably because of his odds.'

There was a tacit atmosphere in which the low odds were to be defeated first.

There is nothing easier to cooperate than to make a common enemy.

She must be concerned about this.

'Whatever I do, I can pull it up, so it doesn't matter.'

- Group 32 match for promotion is over. Then we will start the group 33 match. Players enter.

The tablet vibrated and a mechanical sound was heard.

Looking at the tablet, hunters appeared one by one.

One of them stood out the most.

Muramasa Kuzuryu.

If he didn't have confidence, he was the man closest to winning.

All eyes around them turned to their tablet.

Everyone was interested in him.

- 3 ,2, 1…

The number converges to zero and the game begins.

Fight!

At the same time as the start, all the hunters gathered towards him.
