“The proxy knights—recently, the community has been talking about them . . . More people have been meeting them lately than before . ”

“Then . . . what does that mean for me?”

“There might be many proxy knights, but in the end, there are only a few dozen . In the midst of millions of people, dozens are just grains of white sand . Don’t worry about it,” Hyeonu comforted Choi Yoon .  Choi Yoon wasn’t going to meet any of them .

‘If he is unlucky, then it’ll be once? They might not meet . . . ’

The anxiety in a corner of Hyeonu’s mind started to fade .

“Let’s do the final exercise before we start the stream . ”

Hyeonu summoned a scarecrow with the highest difficulty .  It was only by winning easily against the scarecrow that Choi Yoon could expect to get a bronze medal .  Although there wasn’t a big gap in the time period between when Hyeonu taught Dwayne and when he taught Choi Yoon, the players would’ve raised the average level by at least five levels .  It meant that Choi Yoon’s condition was worse than Dwayne’s .

Compared to Dwayne, everything about Choi Yoon was the worst .  Paradoxically, Hyeonu taught and expected even more from Choi Yoon .

“You need to have a neat victory against the scarecrow to expect the bronze medal . ”

“Yes . I will do so . ”

Choi Yoon drew his sword at the scarecrow .  Now he was used to fighting against a scarecrow .  After all, he had fought it for a week .

‘Just do what I can . ’

Choi Yoon never attacked first .  He stood still in his attack posture and waited for the scarecrow to attack .  This was how he learned to fight .  The scarecrow attempted to attack Choi Yoon who was on the defensive .  It lunged forth with a straight and fast stab!

Choi Yoon looked at the end of the scarecrow’s stab .  The moment the scarecrow entered his range, light exploded from Choi Yoon’s sword .  It was Turning Over the Ground .  Choi Yoon’s sword struck the scarecrow’s sword, making the scarecrow lose its balance .  Choi Yoon’s. .h.i.t caused the scarecrow to let go of its sword, and the scarecrow was sent flying away a few meters where it then slumped onto the ground .

“Stop!” Hyeonu called out to stop the scarecrow .  There was nothing more to see .  Choi Yoon’s short battle was more than satisfying .

‘Fatherhood . . . was it?’

“I see that you’ve worked hard . I think this is enough for going against players . Let’s start the stream right away . ” It was Hyeonu’s rare praise .

Choi Yoon let out a breath . It had been worthwhile to practice until death for a few days .

‘I can’t be a bad dad for Jisu . ’

The objective of today’s stream was clear .  Of course, there was a time difference because Choi Jisu wasn’t watching from the Cube, but this alone was a big burden for Choi Yoon .  As a dad, he couldn’t show his daughter a bad look .

‘Additionally, Alley Leader . . . ’

The man who chose Choi Yoon and the one who helped with Jisu’s surgery—Choi Yoon couldn’t ruin Alley Leader’s stream .  He had to repay this person for his grace .  

“Yes, I’ll be waiting . ” Hyeonu nodded at Choi Yoon’s answer .

“h.e.l.lo? It is Alley Leader . Today is the last cla.s.s of the second term of Alley Leader Academy . It is the long-awaited ranking battle . ” Hyeonu started the live stream pleasantly .

-Hi hi .

-h.e.l.lo .

-Is it finally the ranking battle today?

-A dirt spoon is challenging the bronze medal .  ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-No, no . The uncle’s challenge .

The audience was just as pleasant as Hyeonu .

They also expressed great interest in Choi Yoon’s bronze medal challenge .

-By the way, is it really possible?

-It seems a bit tough .

-Recently, there are so many proxy knights that I haven’t partic.i.p.ated in the ranking battle for two days .

-Seriously, I don’t know why there are so many proxy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds .  They seem to be seen once a day . I am worried about Choi Yoon .

Most of the viewers were deep-sea players [1] . They were in a position to meet the proxy knights once in a while .

Previously, they thought proxy knights were only good players even if they encountered one . Then the existence of proxy knights was publicized through Hyeonu’s broadcast .  That was how they knew the players they met were proxy knights .

“Everyone, don’t worry . Trust in the skills of our uncle, Choi Yoon . You’ll probably be surprised . ”

-That’s it .  Proxy . . .

-Hey, shut your mouth .  If you say it again, you’ll die .

-Don’t talk about making a bet .  

-He will soon bring it up .

-He’s sick again .  Does he hate streaming that much? Don’t give it .  Please .

‘A bet? Shall I take a look?’

Hyeonu had no intention of betting with the audience .  It was only a 1% chance of winning .  Still, a modest push and pull was helpful for streaming .

“So what will you bet? Choi Yoon will gain the bronze medal without losing . Let’s bet like this . If I win, it is a week off from streaming . How about it?”

The viewers didn’t know Hyeonu’s intentions and were furious by his empty words .  They were like animals in a zoo who weren’t getting fed .

-Never do it .

-Do it alone .

-Yes, you can do it with your right hand and your left hand .

-Yes, turn on streaming on Friday .

“Why? Let’s try it once . Are you scared? Isn’t my audience very courageous? We should do it coolly . ”

Hyeonu gently stimulated the viewers, but they didn’t fall for his words .  The experience with Dwayne was engraved on their bones .

-Don’t do it!!!

-Do it alone!

-I’m telling you to stop it!

“Kuk kuk kuk,” Hyeonu laughed in such a small voice that the viewers couldn’t hear him . “I understand . Then I won’t do it, okay? Choi Yoon will start the ranking battle straight away . ”

Once Hyeonu finished talking, Choi Yoon who was standing on the other side of the arena moved to Hyeonu’s side .

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Choi Yoon . ” 

-Yes .  Uncle, have strength .

-Uncle can surely get a bronze medal!

-Uncle, win!

Choi Yoon shook his hand awkwardly to wave at the audience .  “Thank you for your support . I will work hard today . ”

Hyeonu turned toward Choi Yoon . “Let’s start the ranking battle . Choi Yoon, what is your current ranking?”

Choi Yoon had memorized his ranking because he was told beforehand that he would be asked about it .  So, he responded quickly to Hyeonu’s words, “It is around 100 million . ”

“100 million . . . It was almost 40 million lower than when Dwayne first came here, right? Wow, 100 million . . . It is a big number . ” Hyeonu sighed at Choi Yoon’s ranking .

100 million—it was a very dark ranking .  The bronze medal started at 9,999,999 .  There was a difference of 90 million from 100 million .  “We will do it straight away . From now on, I am an examiner evaluating your battle, not a mentor . I’m not going to cover for you . Instead, I will talk about the wrong parts . Do you understand?”

“Yes,” Choi Yoon replied briefly before disappearing from Hyeonu’s stream .

He entered the ranking battle .  There were many players doing the ranking battle in this section, so the matching speed was amazing .  The moment Choi Yoon entered the rankings, the battle began .

“Then we’ll relax and watch Choi Yoon’s ranking battle from a spectator’s point of view . ”

Choi Yoon sighed with relief when he saw his opponent .  The start was good .  Based on the equipment, it was a player between level 70 and 80 who hadn’t completed the second cla.s.s advancement .

‘I can gain the momentum . ’

Choi Yoon knew how important momentum was .  It was an intangible energy that allowed him to do things that couldn’t be done .

[The ranking battle has started . ]

‘Be vigilant . ’

However, Choi Yoon wasn’t careless .  His opponent was a relatively low-level player .  It seemed clear that their specs would be lower than his .  Even so, Choi Yoon didn’t attack first .  He took a defensive stance .  The Dwarf’s Sword was ready to respond to the opponent’s attack at any time .  Instead of attacking, Choi Yoon stayed still .  

The opponent thought this was an opportunity and rushed over .  ‘This match is a victory! Bas.h.!.+’

At a certain distance, the opponent used Bash to sharply narrow the distance to Choi Yoon .  Then he swung his sword .  In the ranking battles so far, this mediocre skill had allowed him to gain enough dominance .  It was just that the opponent was too bad .  His attack was slow for Choi Yoon, who had fought against the highest difficulty scarecrow and Hyeonu who moved at extremely high speeds .

‘I won!’ The opponent smiled when he saw that his sword had reached Choi Yoon .

It was just before the attack succeeded .  He thought it was easier than expected, but the smile lasted less than a second .  “Eh . . . ?”

Light gathered at Choi Yoon’s sword and moved like a thunderbolt .  Choi Yoon hit the opponent’s sword that stretched out toward him and used the momentum to strike the opponent’s chest .  It was simple, but it was also Choi Yoon’s most powerful weapon .  This was the combo of Turning Over the Ground and Heavy Blow .  The opponent couldn’t hold out against this combination .

[Player ‘Choi Yoon’ has won . ]

It was a neat first victory for Choi Yoon .

The viewers were surprised by Choi Yoon’s neat victory .  They knew that Choi Yoon’s skills had improved but not by this much .  Why? It was because Choi Yoon always showed an unstable appearance in the streams .  He struggled practicing against the most difficult scarecrow, not to mention against Hyeonu .  Choi Yoon always looked like he was in a precarious position, as if he were walking on the edge of a cliff .  

The viewers were excited about the difference Choi Yoon showed at this moment .

-Uncle power!

-Awakening of the dirt spoon!

-Don’t ignore the uncle in the future!

Some people were enthusiastic about Alley Leader .

They claimed that Choi Yoon produced this result due to Hyeonu’s excellent skill .

-Sure enough, Alley Leader can teach even a dirt spoon .

-It seems possible to bring up a junior high school student .

Hyeonu smiled when he saw the chat praising him .  “Choi Yoon, it was a very short match, so I don’t have to say anything . I’ll just say that you did well . ” 

Hyeonu hit Choi Yoon’s shoulder after the ranking battle .  It was a somewhat expected result, but it felt different after his vague imagination became reality .

“It is all thanks to you, Alley Leader . You taught me well, so I managed to win . ”

Hyeonu responded shamelessly to Choi Yoon’s words, “That’s right .  It is because of what I taught you . Do you all admit it? Do you recognize it?”

-I acknowledge you .

-I’m tired of bulls.h.i.+t adlibs .

-I admit it .

-I admit it .

-Will it go smoothly to the bronze medal every time?

“Let’s start the next ranking battle . Today’s stream will end at 9:30 even if a bronze medal isn’t obtained . ”

-So today’s stream will be short?

-For some reason, I thought he would change his mind and stream hard again .

-It is still far away .  Guys, the thing we have to worry about is not ending at 9:30 but the end of the stream if a bronze medal is acquired before that .

-That’s the problem .  I think it will be over before 8 o’clock .

Hyeonu and the viewers were talking while Choi Yoon had already disappeared to do the ranking battle .

“Choi Yoon’s ranking battle has begun again . Let’s watch it together . ”
