chapter 34
34. Look forward to it, it’s starting from now
“What are you doing now? Are you playing battles now? fair fair? From the moment you brought in an external artifact, you can’t use such words.”
Hyunseung Lee finished with those words and pulled the trigger.
-Taaang-!
The gun stuck to the man’s head fired bullets with a roaring sound. At the same time, the man’s image became blurry and he was out.
-Sueug
Hyunseung Lee now looked at the remaining people. All that was left was one wizard and those who had not even fully awakened. The only thing that had to be kept in check was one mage.
Hyunseung Lee looked at the wizard and talked.
“Anyway, you know you have no chance of winning, right?”
Bae Sang-soo, a wizard, recalled his comrades who had been beaten earlier.
-Kkeaaak…live…save me…
The size of the pain that was clearly felt even inside the virtual stage. They looked genuinely distressed.
‘The gun…is obviously much stronger than I thought…’
In the virtual stage, the pain sensation is limited, and it is felt only to a certain number. If the total amount is 100, adjust it to about 30 to 40. However, the greater the size of the pain felt, even if it is reduced, it becomes a level that is difficult for humans to endure. As Lee Hyeon-seung’s firearm contained [additional damage], it made him feel much bigger than normal pain but continued pain, so it was something to be feared.
-Sueug
Bae Sang-soo put down the staff he was holding. Then, he raised his hand to show that he would abstain. The member behind him, a non-awakened man who moved as a member of Bae Sang-soo’s team, spoke as if scolding him.
“What…what are you doing Baesang-soo!”
Clearly, it was clear that he meant why, after being ordered by Yoo Hee-yeon, he surrendered after doing this much. Hyunseung Lee aimed his gun at the man.
-bang
-Taang-!
Two bullets fired quickly hit the man. The man cried out in pain.
“Turn off… turn off…”
It was so painful that I couldn’t even scream properly. The rest of the members who watched it all raised their hands to show surrender.
-Charrr
Just now, all the forces that Yoo Hee-yeon planted went out of the virtual stage. Most of them were shot by Lee Hyun-seung and were forcibly eliminated, and about half were caught in an explosion caused by Shin Yoo-sun’s fire magic and Lee Hyun-seung’s bullets colliding. And since the rest surrendered, there was no shortage of calling it a complete victory.
Even, except for a little help from Dayoon Goo, Hyunseung Lee accomplished all of this by himself. No matter how F-class he was, he slaughtered dozens of people all by himself.
“Really…really beat them all…”
Goo Da-yoon, who was watching from the side, looked at Lee Hyun-seung with a shocked expression. Lee Hyeon-seung stood there calmly with a nonchalant expression, as if asking if this much was natural.
Lee Hyeon-seung looked at Goo Dayoon’s party, Kim Yu-ri, and Jeong Eun-seo and talked.
“Now what are you guys going to do? It seems that we are the only survivors left, but is there anyone who wants to become the F-class representative and wants to fight me?”
When Lee Hyun-seung asked a question, everyone swallowed and shook their heads. First of all, they are allies. So there was no reason to fight. All of them were people who knew that Lee Hyun-seung desperately wanted to be the representative, and it was only natural that he said he would do the same.
Jung Eun-seo replied.
“I will surrender at this point. In the first place, my goal was to help you, Hyunseung, not to win here.”
Kim Yu-ri, who was next to him, also helped.
“I will surrender too. Anyway, I can’t even fight on my own because I can’t even wake up properly.”
Although Jung Eun-seo and Kim Yu-ri worked together, they were clearly enemies according to the rules of the F-class selection. After all, there is only one winner. Now that they have surrendered, what remains is Dayoon Gu’s gang.
-Sueug
When Lee Hyunseung looked at Goo Dayoon as if asking for an answer, Goo Dayoon raised his hand and answered.
“You think I’m going to do something crazy to fight you? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in being a class representative in the first place. I just hope you don’t forget the promise you made to help me next time.”
Soon after, Dayoon Gu and his gang all raised their hands to express their willingness to surrender, and everyone was sent outside the virtual stage.
And, the only thing left was Hyunseung Lee.
The broadcaster shouted.
“No… that’s ridiculous! The winner of this F-class representative contest is a gunman… a gunman! It is the first time in history that a class other than swordsman and wizard won the Broad Academy representative selection! Student Hyunseung Lee set a new record this time that will be recorded on a grand scale!”
Lee Hyeon-seung, who was listening to the broadcaster, thought.
‘Of course there would be no winners besides the wizard and the swordsman.’
Wizards and swordsmen are highly favored jobs in Broad Academy Online. In the first place, if you wake up with only one of the two jobs, even if your job grade is at least rare, everyone will cheer you up and want to be with you. As a result, in the representative selection competition, a team was formed with a focus on swordsmen or wizards, and the rest of the team was formed as individuals, creating an unreasonable structure in which jobs other than wizards and swordsmen could not win.
However, this time it was completely different.
From wizards to Goo Dayoon who awakened hidden abilities. It was because everyone gathered around Lee Hyeon-seung, the gunman.
Despite having a job as a gunsmith, Lee Hyun-seung showed enormous charisma and ability and stirred up the class representative selection as if he were doing a one-man show by himself.
The head of the blacksmith association who watched the scene. Tak Woo-hyun started clapping in admiration.
“It’s an incredible ability. His ability as a blacksmith is excellent, but his gun skills are also excellent. At that level, if you properly hone your blacksmithing skills, craft a gun that suits you, and then use it, you’ll be able to gain even more wings. Aren’t I right?”
Tak Woo-hyun spoke to the secretary next to him as if someone else was listening. The intention was clear. Since Lee Hyeon-seung asked for it himself, it meant that the idiots should not step out and touch it.
The secretary, who understood Tak Woo-hyun’s intentions at once, nodded and replied.
“No matter what anyone says, Mr. Lee Hyun-seung is a person who fits well as a blacksmith. If I go back, I will concretely prepare the proposal to Mr. Lee Hyun-seung. Because we can give you wings that are superior to anyone in the blacksmith association.”
When Lee Hyun-seung came out of the virtual environment, the other officials who were going to offer scouting all stepped back at Tak Woo-hyun’s words. It is not an exaggeration to say that all talented blacksmiths in the country are under the management of Tak Yu-hyeon. If he hates him for nothing, he may cut off the supply chain with blacksmiths who can produce cheap and good weapons. With that in mind, others were forced to turn to the presence of others who had at least distinguished themselves.
As if satisfied, Tak Woo-hyun crossed his arms with his big arms and smiled happily.
‘Lee Hyeon-seung… I’m sure he’ll become a terrifying guy once he grows up. The best blacksmith in the country. No, maybe he will become the first blacksmith to surpass me.’
The president of the blacksmith association and a unique rank blacksmith. Having reached the pinnacle of his production skills at the age of 40, he felt blocked by an invisible wall. There was no one better than himself, so there was nothing to see and learn, and he reached a limit in his ability to develop himself. In that situation, Lee Hyeon-seung was like rain in a drought.
‘First of all, if we meet, I’ll have to ask how to use the two slots. Ah, of course I can’t tell you… Hmm… How should I tell you the secret…’
Tak Woo-hyeon thought about this and that, and was full of thoughts about hiring Lee Hyeon-seung.
***
A person approached Lee Hyeon-seung, who was left alone on the virtual stage.
He was one of the relayers who brokered the F-class representative selection match. They had come to interview the winner, Hyunseung Lee.
“Lee Hyeon-seung, could I have an interview with you for a moment?”
It wouldn’t have known if it was class A, but it’s not uncommon for an interview offer like this to come after the class F selection is over. Perhaps, as there are many celebrities who have been watching this representative selection match, they must have thought that the interview was indispensable.
Hyunseung Lee nodded. The cast asked questions about several things.
“How on earth can you get such great power…”
“It seemed like they used two jobs, blacksmith and gunsmith. Maybe…”
“In addition to the simultaneous awakening of 2 jobs, there is a singularity…”
I asked about various things, but Lee Hyun-seung either laughed it off or naturally avoided answering.
‘Since I’ve shown enough ability, it’s better for people with good eyes to find out first, rather than talking about it with my mouth.’
Lee Hyeon-seung is not interested in those idiots who only know how great their abilities are by feeding them with words. Find out the value first, and those who approach you are the most competent people.
The relayer, who seemed a little disappointed with Lee Hyun-seung’s bland answer, asked a question with happy eyes as if he remembered something.
“Then…then can you answer this question?”
The relayer paused for a moment before talking.
“As the representative of class F this time, I got the authority to point out the opponent in class annihilation. By any chance, which class will you point out?”
The question you’ve been waiting for. Lee Hyeon-seung smiled and spoke while teaching the screen with his hand.
“Class A.”
The relayer asked the question again with eyes wondering if he had heard it wrong.
“Uh…I asked who you would point out…”
Then, Lee Hyeon-seung answered clearly as if he were about to kill himself.
“We will announce here who the F class will point out as opponents. I am class A with Yoo Hee-yeon. I point them out.”
Lee Hyeon-seung’s tremendous declaration of war. If it was someone who was a gossip, I would have laughed it off and passed it on, but people’s reactions were completely different because Lee Hyun-seung’s ability in this selection match was really outstanding. People were full of anticipation.
-Waaa
-Crazy-! The F-class representative pointed to the A-class!
In an instant, shouts began to resound in the excited hall.
Hyunseung Lee looked at the screen and muttered. So that Yoo Hee-yeon can see it.
“Look forward to it, because it starts now.”
