Ranker's Return

In an arena without people, a man was moving alone .  The man"s movements were well matched with the word "ambiguous . " It was unknown as to where he was going to move, and there were no rules .  Nevertheless, it didn"t feel messy .  Finally, the man stopped .

“I"m a bit used to it now . ”

It was Hyeonu appearing in the arena before his meeting with Dwayne .  The reason for this was to practice the Mysterious Sky Steps .  The arena was available in several settings, including one which eliminated the cooldown time of skills .  Mysterious Sky Steps was a very unkind skill .  It was ambiguous as it wasn"t a buff type, an immediate use skill, or a continuous type .

Mysterious Sky Steps modified the player"s movements for 10 seconds .  However, it was up to the player to take advantage of it .

"At first, I thought I got motion sickness . "

Hyeonu"s first use of Mysterious Sky Steps was brief .

“I feel like throwing up . ”

He meant it literally .  His entire body was full of strange feelings, and the movements couldn"t be properly controlled .  It was like he was drunk .  Still, this was temporary .  It had been around 10 minutes now .  Hyeonu became accustomed to the Mysterious Sky Steps .  He also became confident .

"This is a secret weapon . "

Hyeonu had released more than one or two PvP videos .  This meant he was already being a.n.a.lyzed .  For such a Hyeonu, the Mysterious Sky Steps would be his trump card .

Hyeonu checked the time .  It was close to his appointment with Dwayne .

"It"s 5:20 . "

His appointment with Dwayne was at 5:30 .  It meant there were 10 minutes remaining .

“Shall I try something different?”

Hyeonu"s hands were busy as he summoned scarecrows at random locations within a 20-meter radius .  He counted roughly, and the number seemed to be over 10 .  This was the last test .  It was to see if he could attack while maintaining these movements .

“Haat!”

Hyeonu moved his body .  The target was the scarecrow in the most advanced position .  While doing so, Hyeonu didn"t know there was a man watching this scene .

Dwayne had a strange obsession .  It was that whenever a meeting was decided, he would arrive 10 minutes earlier .  There was no reason for it .  It was just a habit .  Today, that obsession was still there .  He arrived at the arena 10 minutes earlier than promised .

“OMG!”

It was a strange sight that welcomed Dwayne .  Alley Leader was wrecking the scarecrows .  If it were just this, Dwayne wouldn"t be so shocked .  There were fresh movements, and Hyeonu"s fist aimed only at the vital points .  One punch caused the scarecrow to burst like a balloon .

"Do I have to learn that?" Dwayne shook his head .  He couldn"t show that type of movement .  After all, he didn"t have the skills for it . Even if he did, he didn"t have the confidence .  In an instant, all the scarecrows burst .  It was a mess .

Dwayne walked between them and stood in front of Hyeonu .

“I can"t . I can"t do this!” He cried out resolutely .  “It is impossible!”

Dwayne scratched his back .  “I"m sorry . I misunderstood . ”

Hyeonu shook his hand at Dwayne"s apology . “No . I think it is natural to misunderstand . ”

"I thought he wouldn"t arrive for a while . . . " Hyeonu looked at Dwayne again .

He thought this person was pleasant, but Dwayne was also humble .

"Shouldn"t he normally be a bit late to the appointment?"

It was a widespread fact that celebrities weren"t punctual .  Even if that wasn"t the case, it was the image .  Why? If they weren"t late, then articles wouldn"t be written .  If they were late, then there was an article .  The average person only saw the articles .  Thus, this image was bound to be solid .  Hyeonu was no different .

“Did you practice what I taught you?” Hyeonu asked Dwayne . This time, Dwayne showed it with his body rather than speaking .  He touched the settings and summoned a scarecrow .  Then he fought hard .

"This seems okay?"

“You"ve been practicing hard . . . ” Hyeonu nodded when he saw it .  Dwayne"s movements were the exact opposite of the previous stream .  His judgment was prudent, and his movements were sharp .  Hyeonu had no idea it would be like this when he picked Dwayne, but now he thought he was very lucky .  If he had picked and taught a person who was trying to sell their face, instead of someone pa.s.sionate . . .

Hyeonu trembled .  Just imagining it was terrible .  "This content would probably be ruined . " 

At this moment, Dwayne succeeded in rus.h.i.+ng the scarecrow with the sword .  He started with Iron Mountain Attack and directly applied his skills .

Hyeonu saw this and raised his hand . “Stop!”

Dwayne stopped moving the moment Hyeonu yelled .  Hyeonu approached Dwayne, who was breathing heavily .  His face was filled with attention .

"He is number one at working hard . "

Hyeonu liked Dwayne .  That was why he had answered kindly to the whispers that he received while hunting .  Dwayne was diligent .  It was bothersome at first, but it stopped being the case when he learned about Dwayne"s pa.s.sion .

“It is rewarding . My first student has worked hard following my teachings . ”

“Then . . . ?” Dwayne wondered . He looked at Hyeonu like a dog hoping for praise .

Hyeonu chuckled at the look and brought up what Dwayne wanted . “Well done . It is impossible to imagine what you were like before . This is enough to win a bronze medal today . ”

“Thank you, Alley Leader . ” Dwayne smiled .

Hyeonu laughed when he saw it .

Rank 67,342,332—it was time to reduce this number .

“Then let"s get ready for the streaming . ”

“h.e.l.lo, everyone . Alley Leader has arrived . As you know, we are going to stream like last time . I will be hosting the Alley Leader Academy . ”

The streaming began with Hyeonu"s smooth opening .  Viewers were buzzing today .  The viewers" attention was currently on Dwayne .

-Is Dwayne a man now? He was a mess the other day .

-Despite getting the second cla.s.s transfer and having unique items, he is only ranked number 67,342,332?

-Still, he has learned a bit from the streaming, so I"m sure he"ll do well .

-Let"s take a look at his skills today .  Shouldn"t it work since he has been taught by Alley Leader?

Hyeonu frowned when he saw the chat window .  Dwayne"s skills were poor, but that was before he met Hyeonu .  Things were different now because he got taught by Hyeonu .  Additionally, Dwayne had practiced hard .  “Everyone, you"ll probably be surprised . Dwayne"s skills are amazing . I was really surprised to see them . ”

-Don"t be ridiculous .

-Just opening his mouth . . .

-It is the level of out of 100 words, three are true .

-Isn"t this bluffing? 

-What can you teach that will make someone like Dwayne win a bronze medal? I will reserve popcorn today .

“Then I"ll make a bet . If Dwayne wins against an armed scarecrow, I will take next week off from streaming . It is also the most difficult mode! However, if Dwayne loses, I"ll stream four times next week . Call?” Hyeonu placed a gamble with the audience .

The source of his confidence was that Hyeonu had seen Dwayne"s skills with both of his eyes .  He was good enough to not lose against the scarecrow .

-Call!

-Take the bet unconditionally!

-Next week, there will be a stream on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sat.u.r.day .  ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-Four Streams Next Week has gifted you 444 gold coins .

-Four Times a Week has gifted you 444 gold coins .

The viewers happily accepted Hyeonu"s bet .  This was an opportunity for unconditional access .  The 67,342,332nd ranked Dwayne winning against the most challenging scarecrow . . . ? It was impossible .  If he could win against the scarecrow of the highest difficulty, then he could easily get a bronze medal .  Dwayne wouldn"t be able to win if he was 67,342,332nd ranked .

“I"m recording this . There is to be no whining after it ends . ”

Nevertheless, Hyeonu was proud .  There was something he believed in .  He believed in Dwayne"s skills .

-Yes, then drink kimchi soup .

-He probably drinks a lot for a South Korean .  It is the level of a food fighter .

-Hurry up .  I want to watch the streams next week .  ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅇㅇ .  We will never let you back down .  

Under his mask, Hyeonu"s face had a sneaky smile .  He couldn"t resist smiling .

"Next week, I"ll be in the Hejin Mountains . "

“Then let"s call Dwayne out here . Dwayne, come out!!”

"???" Hyeonu felt perplexed when he saw Dwayne walking out .  It wasn"t the usual Dwayne .  Dwayne, who was normally full of confidence, seemed like a nervous coward .  Hyeonu"s lips moved .  It was almost to the level of ventriloquism .

“Dwayne, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid to be in front of people?”

Dwayne shook his head .  It wasn"t that .  This was just tension .  So far, he never thought of fighting the scarecrow set at the highest difficulty .

“Can I beat the scarecrow? It is set at the highest difficulty . ”

“It is enough . Trust yourself, Dwayne . You"ve worked hard enough . Otherwise, trust me—Alley Leader . I am your teacher . ” Hyeonu ma.s.saged Dwayne"s shoulder .  It was a service intended to relax him .

“Take a deep breath and relax . Moderate tension will reveal your skills, but excessive tension will ruin everything . ” Hyeonu tried to relax Dwayne to the very end .  This wasn"t just Dwayne"s problem .

"It will be hard for me if he loses . "

Four streams a week—it wouldn"t be easy .  He had grabbed the strings of the main scenario and didn"t want to do anything else .

“Everyone, my first student—Dwayne Evans!” Hyeonu hid the fire inside him and proceeded with the stream .

“h.e.l.lo, I am Dwayne Evans . ”

-Quickly fight the scarecrow .

-Let me see your skills!

-Dwayne, just up .  Wouldn"t it be good to see four streams next week?

-What do you want to do? Just lose .  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Dwayne saw the chat window and felt a bit nervous .  "Yes, I will win against the scarecrow with the highest difficulty . Just do what I have already been doing . "

“Alley Leader, let"s start quickly . I"m ready . ”

Hyeonu sighed with relief when he saw Dwayne"s relaxed appearance .  "He is back to normal . "

“Then let"s get started . ” Hyeonu relaxed and adjusted the settings .

Now that Dwayne"s mentality had been recaptured, the bet was Hyeonu"s unconditional victory .

“Okay, it is the scarecrow with the highest difficulty . ” 

Hyeonu"s summoned scarecrow didn"t match the name "scarecrow" at all It was wearing a long sword and heavy armor .  The items were level 100 unique items, and it was perfectly armed .  What"s more, the built-in AI rating was of the highest level .

“Then let"s get started . Everyone, please cheer for Dwayne . ”

-Lose .  Lose!!

-Defeat!

-We expect a loss!

-I don"t want to see a victory!

The viewers didn"t want Dwayne to win .  They prayed for defeat .  Even so, Dwayne smiled brightly .  This type of interest . . .

It was routine for him .  Dwayne stepped toward the scarecrow .  The moment Dwayne stepped into the scarecrow"s range, the scarecrow moved .
