Chapter 140

Choi Yoon’s eagerly awaited opportunity came .  The opponent’s greatsword moved along the best path for a counter .  It was carelessness .  So far, Choi Yoon had been sticking to the defensive, and the opponent thought he would keep doing so .  It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Choi Yoon had endured the opponent’s offensive for this moment alone .

‘Turning Over the Ground!’

There was no better chance for it .  This was the best chance while the opponent was careless .  Choi Yoon used Turning Over the Ground without hesitation .  His sword moved up the opponent’s sword like a salmon swimming upstream .  The final destination of his sword was the opponent’s neck .

Choi Yoon thought it would pierce the opponent’s neck instantly .  He could clearly see how fl.u.s.tered the opponent was .  The opponent had never imagined that Choi Yoon would have this type of skill .  Choi Yoon’s sword appeared with a dark sword energy and pierced the opponent’s throat .

[Player ‘Choi Yoon’ has won . ]

Victory after a grueling battle was sweet .

Hyeonu ran toward Choi Yoon and hugged him .

“Well done . The opponent might’ve been a proxy knight, but you fought calmly . You did really well . ”

Hyeonu was thrilled .  In fact, Hyeonu had thought it was unlikely Choi Yoon would win as his opponent was very good .  Choi Yoon’s victory was a significant overlap of luck and coincidence .  It was an overlap of coincidence and luck that would never occur twice .

“The opponent was a proxy knight? I just thought he was a very good player . . . ” Choi Yoon asked with wide eyes like he really didn’t know .

Hyeonu laughed at Choi Yoon’s actions .  He barely managed to calm down after laughing for a long time .

“Is it possible for a player of such skill to have such a low ranking? To put it bluntly, I think this win was lucky . Of course, luck is only meant for those who are prepared . ”

Choi Yoon nodded at Hyeonu’s words .  He admitted it himself .  It was clear that if they met again, he would lose unconditionally .  The difference in skill was obvious .

“Then congratulations on 11 consecutive wins, Choi Yoon . We’re almost at our goal . ”

“Of course, it was a success . Don’t you believe in your father?” Choi Yoon said proudly, puffing up his chest .

He looked too immature to be the father of a child .  However, the gaze in Choi Jisu’s eyes showed she thought otherwise .

“Really? You obtained a bronze medal? Really?” Choi Jisu asked while clinging to Choi Yoon’s neck .  Her father was now a bronze medalist .  This was great news for Choi Jisu who loved Arena .

“If you don’t believe it, watch the end of the video . ”

At Choi Yoon’s words, Choi Jisu left Choi Yoon’s arms and sat down in front of the laptop again .  Then she started playing the end of the video .  Two familiar men emerged in the video .  There was a masked man, who was Alley Leader, and her father, who was now in the hospital room .

“Congratulations, Choi Yoon . I was actually dubious if you could do it, but you are now a bronze medalist . ” Alley Leader applauded Choi Yoon .

Choi Yoon expressed his grat.i.tude by bowing to Alley Leader . “It is all thanks to you, Alley Leader . If it wasn’t for Alley Leader, I wouldn’t be able to win a bronze medal and she wouldn’t be able to get surgery . I really, really appreciate it . ”

-??? What does this mean?

-Surgery?

-Please explain the situation .

-No . . .  Make things clear .  Captain .

Choi Yoon watched the video and turned his head toward Choi Jisu .

“Father? What does this mean? Aren’t I going out to play with you? Surgery?”

Choi Jisu was the last to know she was traveling with Choi Yoon .  She didn’t know she was going to the United States to treat her illness .

“In fact, Alley Leader told me that an acquaintance of his is paying for the surgery . The reason we’re taking a plane today isn’t just to go flying . It is to get treatment . I’m sorry I lied to you, my daughter . ” 

Choi Yoon’s words brought tears to Choi Jisu’s eyes .

Then she rushed back to Choi Yoon . “Father! Then I can be with you? Eh? Really?”

Choi Yoon hugged Choi Jisu and cried without saying anything .

Choi Yoon arrived in New York while carrying the sleeping Choi Jisu .  The immigration process was over quickly because Nike’s side helped a lot .  After that, Choi Yoon met a Nike employee who told him,“Take the car waiting outside the airport and go to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital . ”

Then Choi Yoon wondered, “Can I ask one more thing?”

“I will answer if it is possible . ”

Choi Yoon asked the question he had been wondering about the entire time on the plane .  “The one who paid for the surgery . . . is Alley Leader, right?”

The employee was confused by Choi Yoon’s question and wondered why Choi Yoon was asking this . “Didn’t you know? From Choi Jisu’s surgery cost to various expenses, Alley Leader sponsored them all with his private money . ” 

Choi Yoon recalled the face of a young man—the one who was sincerely saddened by Choi Yoon’s daughter .

“Thank you very much . ” Choi Yoon knew Hyeonu couldn’t hear it, but he still said it anyway .  “Really, thank you so much . ”

After Choi Yoon successfully received the bronze medal, Hyeonu spent time with the audience .

“It was dangerous to meet a proxy knight in the middle, but I think it ended really neatly . Don’t you agree?”

-Yes .

-It seems there was a crisis .

-A stormy 19 consecutive wins .

-When is the third season starting? I’ll apply too . . .

“It is because I taught everything well . You accused me of hitting Choi Yoon to relieve stress, and so on . Didn’t the results prove everything? This is Alley Leader, Alley Leader . ”

Hyeonu was bluffing .

‘Honestly, I thought the bronze medal wouldn’t be that easy . . . ’

How hard had Choi Yoon worked? He also won a complete victory like Dwayne had done .  In any case, it didn’t matter .  The viewers wouldn’t know he had such a thought .

“So me, Dwayne, and Choi Yoon—all three of us have bronze medals . This is Alley Leader’s cla.s.s . ”

-I admit it .

-He seems to be teaching really well .

-The two of them were taught and went undefeated in the bronze section .

-Hasn’t Dwayne continued winning? He will reach the silver medal soon .

‘Dwayne is taking good care of himself . ’

Hyeonu was able to hear news from the chat window .  Dwayne continued to win and was nearing the silver medal .

‘It is natural . It is a cla.s.s that is meant for PvP . ’

Dwayne’s cla.s.s was a real scam in close combat .  The damage could explode at a moment’s notice, and there wouldn’t be just one or two dodges .  His level wasn’t low either, and it was hard to find someone with better equipment than Dwayne .  He could probably reach a gold medal .

‘AH, I have to set up a day and stream my ranking battle . . . ’

Hyeonu’s current ranking was at 3 million .  He didn’t do ranking battles unless the streaming mode was turned on, so his rise in the rankings was slow .

‘I’ll have to do it soon . First, aim for the gold medal . ’

At this moment, the chat window started to be bombarded with content .

-By the way, what was that about the hospital fees?

-I slipped over it, but shouldn’t you tell us now?

-Is the uncle sick?

-He just said it was the surgery fee for the uncle’s daughter .

-Stop making things up .  To be precise, he helped her get the surgery .

Hyeonu was troubled after seeing the chat window fill with the words that Choi Yoon left before running away to find his daughter .  Did he really have to say it? Was he selling Choi Yoon for his own stream?

‘I’ll do it in a roundabout manner . It’s okay to reveal how much Choi Yoon said . ’

After thinking about it, Hyeonu said, “Um . . .  In fact, everyone knows that the student was selected through an application, right?”

-Yes .

-I entered .

-You also entered? ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ I applied too ㅠㅠ

-Then you really selected . . .

“Many people applied, and the applications were filtered on Nike’s side . They reduced the number of applicants, and I picked from the remaining candidates . ” 

Hyeonu cleverly mixed truths and falsehoods .  In fact, Nike had filtered the applicants from beginning to end and sent Choi Yoon’s application to Hyeonu .  The truth was that Hyeonu chose Choi Yoon at the end .  In other words, Hyeonu had the final choice .  If Hyeonu had refused the application that Nike handed over, then they would’ve sent him someone else’s application .

“His daughter is sick, and her only hobby is watching Arena . Additionally, Choi Yoon is an ordinary player as you know . He is enjoying Arena for his daughter . ”

-Oh, that’s why he was picked .

-Then he applied for his daughter?

-Uncle ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-So what about the surgery?

Hyeonu took a breath .  The part from now on was the important one .  The viewers were curious about this part .

“Choi Yoon’s daughter has a serious illness, but it isn’t incurable . There have been many recent cases where treatments were found and the patients have been cured . That’s why Nike helped a bit . It was just that . There is no need to be grateful . Choi Yoon worked diligently in Alley Leader Academy, and we paid tribute to it . I think you should only know this much . ”

Hyeonu’s words made it out to be a give and take .  The viewers didn’t take it that way though .

-So he helped someone in need?

-n.o.blesse oblige .

-A good boss cla.s.s .

-He is embarra.s.sed again, so he can’t speak properly .

-Why does he bluff in strange places and then pull back from this type of thing? He should be consistent with his dignity .

“It isn’t like that . It was just simple business . Everyone, don’t get me wrong . I’m not such a person . ”

Hyeonu pretended to be innocent .  However, the viewer’s eyes weren’t set on Hyeonu pretending to be innocent .

“Hey, the date is set . ”

Hyeonu heard Yeongchan say as he came out to the living room for water when he finished streaming .

“What date? Are you getting married?” Hyeonu looked at Yeongchan with an expression of confusion .

Yeongchan responded with a fl.u.s.tered expression, “The reunion! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!! What marriage?!”

Hyeonu hit his forehead like he just remembered .  “Ah! There was that? When is it?”

“This coming Wednesday . Don’t forget to meet them in the evening . Understood?” Yeongchan threatened .  Based on Hyeonu’s personality, Hyeonu might forget and make another appointment if he didn’t say this .

“Yes, dude . Why would I forget this as well?”

Yeongchan responded to Hyeonu’s guarantee, “I will bet this house that you forget on the day because you’re playing Arena . ”
