Chapter 22
The heroine saves the world
Episode 22
Thud!
[ 7 points ]
Lee Yu-chan lowered his head.
There was disappointment at only scoring 7 points on the last shot, but there was another bigger reason.
My right hand, which had been fine until just a moment ago, was shaking.
It’s not because of tension.
It was because of that special feeling that I started to feel along with the information from the system that skill restrictions had been weakened.
The feeling, which was initially a tingling sensation, had turned into a tingling sensation by the time the 9th arrow was fired, and its intensity gradually increased.
In the end, it was so painful that I almost shed tears.
As a result, a low score of 7 points was given.
And the final arrow of this study is.
[ 8 points ]
A moment later, the final results of the match filled the screen.
[Lee Yu-chan 77 points | Lee Yeon-gu 78 points]
This research won by a margin of one point.
* * *
“Ah, one point difference!”
“What a waste.”
“Why did you blow the last arrow away like that?”
The surrounding audience members were pulling out their hair as if it was their own business.
“Ah, Lee Yu-chan doesn’t make mistakes like that very often.”
The reason I watched the game from the side was the same.
But I was satisfied in my own way.
“Not a bad result.”
It was disappointing that we lost by one point, but there was a change in Lee Yu-chan’s status window.
The first ‘Hit’ skill, which had been inactive for a long time, has been changed to ‘Active’.
I also had an idea why there was a mistake in the last shot.
‘My body can’t handle it.’
Lee Yu-chan is a C-class.
So, of course, he has a C-class body.
However, the hit skill that has been revealed as being able to be reawakened now is an A-class skill.
It is inevitable that the body will be overloaded.
‘I need to reawaken everyone quickly.’
Throughout
A representative example is Sima Ying, who was re-awakened from A-class to S-class.
Of course, this includes Lee Yu-chan and Lee Yu-eul.
‘There is a way to do everything.’
The only regret is that it requires a lot of preparation and cannot be implemented right away.
Even before the reawakening, if he can just get rid of that easily broken mentality, it is certain that Lee Yu-chan will grow tremendously.
“Lee Yu-chan!”
As expected, Lee Yu-chan, who was just walking out of the stadium, staggered as if he was going to fall.
If Lee Yu-eul hadn’t run and caught him, he probably would’ve fallen over.
If it were normal, Lee Yu-chan’s appearance would have erupted into mocking laughter.
No one was smiling.
Rather, most people were interested in, liked, and cheered for Lee Yu-chan, who lost by just one point in a match against Lee Yeon-gu, a B-class player, who gave it his all.
“Stop wasting time with useless stuff and move on to the next match quickly.”
Kim Do-ran, the leader of the Titan Guild, approached me and urged me with a fierce expression.
“Or so.”
If being embarrassed quickly is your wish, then
I moved my seat while looking at Lee Yu-eul, who was supporting Lee Yu-chan with an indignant face.
* * *
The martial arts match will take place in a hexagonal boxing ring.
It was a place where combatants who did not normally use weapons trained and sparred.
It had a structure similar to a typical boxing ring, but it was different in that instead of being open, it was surrounded by a translucent protective film.
Until the game was over, it was impossible to intervene from the outside in, and it was also impossible to come out from the inside.
“Deathmatch, what is it?”
It was uncomfortable to push the young Lee Yu-eul into a place like that, but as a hunter, she couldn’t receive unconditional protection just like a minor would.
You have to deal with monsters that can kill people in an instant, let alone fight against people.
At that moment, the Titan Guild Leader approached and announced.
“On our side, Park Dae-gang is coming out.”
Lee Yu-eul ended up fighting against Park Dae-gang, a B-class physical enhancement fighter.
Still, it seemed like the guild leader had some common sense to not deal directly with an 18-year-old.
“I don’t think any skills will be used.”
If you use skills without even using protective items, it becomes a real deathmatch.
Each and every hunter in the guild is a valuable resource.
“… … Don’t do that.”
He waved one hand and checked the surroundings, indicating that he was done talking and should go.
“There are more people here.”
The number of spectators has increased since the archery match a little while ago.
However, Jang Su-ho and Kang Han have not yet been seen among them.
“It seems like the president’s kid is quite persistent.”
That bald old man needs his balls blown off soon.
As I was muttering like that, the twins came into view.
Lee Yu-eul, who was unusually quiet, was stroking the head of Lee Yu-chan, who was sitting on a chair with a tired face.
The face that was always smiling is now dark.
I can guess what you’re thinking.
“Lee Yu-eul, you should get ready to go up.”
“……yes.”
Lee Yu-eul, who had been looking at her younger brother with concern one last time, walked towards him with steady steps.
Since this is not a boxing match, gloves are not worn.
Instead, some minimal means of protecting the joints was needed.
I called out to her for skillfully taping her fingers and knuckles with her hunched shoulders.
“Reason.”
“Yes, sister.”
“If you lose, you die.”
“Hmm.”
Lee Yu-eul’s answer is not very satisfying.
“Stop thinking useless thoughts.”
The cat-like eyes that had been glued to my younger brother for so long finally turned to me.
“Doing it moderately and then losing is not for Lee Yu-chan or anything.”
I deliberately spoke in a more firm tone.
“Remember, your brother did his best until he was completely worn out.”
I think Lee Yu-eul must have thought about it.
Lee Yu-chan lost, but if I win, won’t his pride be hurt?
Won’t you get hurt?
The two are twins who have been together since they were born in the womb.
There is no way Lee Yu-eul wouldn’t know the subtle sense of entitlement that Lee Yu-chan has toward himself.
Although she may seem to act without thinking, Lee Yu-eul is usually very mindful of Lee Yu-chan’s feelings.
Even in situations where he could do it alone, he calls Lee Yu-chan for help, and even in situations where he could step forward, he takes a step back.
It was so obvious to me, even though I had only recently joined the Guild of Justice.
But not today.
“You understand? Fight as if Lee Yu-chan is behind you. Just make sure you don’t become incapacitated first.”
In
So, I intentionally provoked the Titan Guild further to create an opportunity.
They created a gambling table and put the reputation of the Justice Guild at stake.
The look in Lee Yu-eul’s eyes changed.
And finally, after seeing Lee Yu-chan drinking the water that the red-haired woman gave him, he bravely climbed up onto the ring.
“Yeah, that’s the reason why.”
A moment later, the shield activated and the fighting match began.
* * *
“Ah, even if I win this, I still break even.”
Park Dae-gang said with a sigh and a laugh.
“I can’t even brag about beating that little girl.”
“It was an old man.”
“what?”
“I poured water on my little brother.”
“Oh, what did I say? Why, are you upset?”
“no.”
Lee Yu-eul said as she raised her fists and got into a fighting stance.
“I wanted to kill you.”
“This X is as big as this X… …!”
Yu-eul’s fist flew at high speed towards Park Dae-gang’s mouth, who was spouting out foul language.
It was a powerful attack that even a strong wind followed.
“Huh!”
Park Dae-gang, who had been caught off guard and then became frightened, narrowly avoided the attack by jerking his upper body backward.
And I felt it instinctively.
If you treat them lightly, you will lose.
But since I can’t use my skills, I have to finish it quickly to get a better look.
Akmun Park Daegang also swung his right arm sharply and threw a punch.
But Yueul did not avoid it.
chin!
He raised his left arm and blocked the heavy punch.
Even though there must have been considerable pain due to the difference in strength from the physique and rank, Lee Yu-eul did not even frown.
Instead, he threw a deep hook through the gap in Park Dae-gang’s exposed body.
“Ugh!”
The first valid hit has occurred.
A well-placed fist landed squarely in the stomach and side.
However, Park Dae-gang, who had gained experience fighting monsters and other hunters, was not easily shaken.
He grabbed the left arm of the person who had blocked his right hand and kicked his knee.
“Ugh!”
I tried to minimize the impact by tightening my abdominal muscles as the kick came without giving me time to pull back, but I was still in pain as if my insides were being turned inside out.
Park Dae-gang immediately launched his next attack at the slight staggering Lee Yu-eul who took a half step back.
It was a kick aimed at the knee by lowering the body’s center of gravity.
If it continued like this, it was obvious that my knees and calves would be destroyed.
Lee Yu-eul chose to avoid rather than confront it.
He quickly rolled on the floor and moved to the back of the park in an instant.
Even after the two people’s positions were reversed, the breathtaking fight continued, splitting every second.
Boom! Bam! Bam!
It was a close fight that got the audience’s blood boiling.
Just when it seemed like the match was going to be so close, Park Dae-gang made the first move.
“Ugh!”
In an instant, he closed the gap and extended both of his large hands toward Lee Yu-eul.
He was planning to grab him by the collar, immobilize him, and then throw him to the floor.
“Where are you holding it!”
However, Park Dae-gang’s attempt did not lead to a proper attack.
This was because Lee Yu-eul released his tremendous evil power with an equally strong evil power and jumped backwards to escape.
The wind ripped my shirt in half, but it was a small price to pay compared to losing.
And while calculating the next attack, Lee Yu-eul’s gaze turned to Lee Yu-chan for a moment.
It was to check on my younger brother’s condition.
But before he could see it properly, a large body blocked his way.
It was Park Dae-gang’s way of trying to shake Lee Yu-eul’s mentality somehow.
But no one could have predicted what kind of results it would produce.
The corners of Lee Yu-eul’s eyes, which were fresh and bright, rose even higher.
‘Are you blocking my way?’
As soon as I realized that my opponent had blocked my path, anger rose up from below.
I wanted to get rid of this being in front of my eyes.
I wanted to knock Bear down.
And I wanted to move forward.
At the same time, a word appeared in front of Lee Yu-eul.
[ You ‘recognize’ what ‘blocks your way’. ]
[ Agility increases by 80 for the next 3 hours . ]
