Chapter 108 – Is It Okay to Win Here?
The lowest floor of the building where the Noble Party was held.
There was a splendid stage and podium made for only one person.
In front of the podium, many people knelt down and listened to the man standing in front of the podium.
I called you today to talk about something very important.
The chin and sagging cheeks that even a mask couldn’t cover.
It feels like a real-life action without drawing the SD character properly.
He was the head of Noble, The Devil Chaos Ultra King, and the author of 〈 Academy Pure Love Journal 〉.
“…What happened to the deal today?”
“I don’t know.”
“I wish it wasn’t just because I wanted to be called with a cool nickname like last time.”
“Ah, it was really terrible back then. You called The Devil Ultra Chaos King until you were satisfied.”
“At the time when I had to steal at least one more skill because of Gladir…”
Noble has been busy lately.
It was because he had to choose only the weak among the acquired Awakeners and skip the delicious sub-skills, and he had to bribe various people to prepare Gladir.
Right now, even during the Noble party, I had to separately call in high-ranking Gladir officials and lobby in the room.
‘I hate songs like Companion Train.’
From bumblebees to companion trains and V-lines.
I was diligently entertaining while memorizing the lyrics and choreography of trot songs, which I didn’t like.
The contract had not been properly signed because the fat guy on the podium suddenly ended the party in a hurry.
He had enormous power, and it was good to have financial resources and connections that he did not know where they came from.
However, it was that guy who was always twisted at the important part.
‘Even if it wasn’t just a steel skill.’
This was not just an individual complaint, but also the complaint of Noble as a whole.
Just the fear of losing one’s skill and the desire to become stronger by stealing someone else’s skill.
These two suppressed all dissatisfaction and made me obey the man on the podium.
Our hero, the indomitable warrior! Kim Min-soo is said to be participating in Gladir. If you look closely, you’ll understand… Well, it’s faster to show you than to tell me a hundred times. Maybe they say this is a first glance? Hehe.
Tiff.
The fat man spat out nonsensical words and activated the beam projector.
As the white screen gradually began to light up, an interview video began to play.
-So you’re saying that Hunter Baek Tae-yang and Cadet Min-soo Kim are applying for Gladir?
-Yes, it is.
-Aren’t cadets not eligible to participate in Gladir?
– I had a lot of questions about that part. What really separates a cadet from a hunter? Age? Academy graduation? How many gate clears? I think not all.
– Then what is it?
On the screen, Taeyang Baek and Minsoo Kim were sitting side by side, holding microphones one by one, taking questions from reporters.
Most of the reporters asked questions to Taeyang Baek and demanded an answer incessantly.
In particular, the reporter’s question at the end was a subject that could be very sensitive, so there was a moment of silence.
What is the standard for dividing hunters and cadets?
It was a topic that evoked many thoughts.
Even if they attend the same academy, Taeyang Baek is called a hunter and Minsu Kim is called a cadet.
What exactly causes this difference?
– It’s a skill.
-Yeah?
The answer that everyone knew, but only thought inside.
If you say it, it’s bound to be a big controversy.
Baek Taeyang spat it out without hesitation and took a dignified attitude.
Even though he just said the right thing, he even glared at the reporters with his eyes wondering what was wrong.
– I think the criterion for hunters and cadets is skill. In fact, I am called Hunter by many people and have proven skills. Minsu Kim next to me might soon be called that. That’s why I declare it here. Minsu Kim and I will proudly participate in Gladir as hunters, not cadets.
Click click.
Thousands of flashes explode.
Baek Taeyang smiled confidently and looked at the camera, while Minsu couldn’t help but frown at his face.
-Oh, Flash…
-Oh right! Cadet Minsu Kim! Can I ask you one question?
-Yes Yes! Feel free to ask any questions!
When Baek Taeyang’s aspirations were revealed and the hot topic was coming to an end, a reporter called Minsu.
Minsu opened his mouth wide open at the question that had come to him after a long time.
– Oh, I’m glad if that’s the case. Did you know that there was a rumor that Kim Min-soo went to an adult product store as a chirashi that was circulating on the Internet recently?
-Yeah?
-…?
Everyone except the reporter who asked the question was taken aback.
No, you’re saying that right here?
It was such an expression, but no one stopped or scolded the reporter.
Because that part seemed a lot more fun.
-A post that a person who said he was a part-timer for adult products posted while verifying… Didn’t you see it?
-Yes, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but…
– Oh, I’m glad. That wasn’t true either. According to the post, there is a story that a kid who looks like Kim Min-soo came and asked about this and that and found a small-sized condom… Besides, there is a story that he suddenly laughed strangely while muttering to himself… I guess it was a joke. Thank you
Every time the reporter continued, Minsu’s face turned white.
-Ah…That…Uh…Yeah…It’s the first time I’ve heard of it…
A situation that is on the verge of being questioned by everyone because he couldn’t even answer properly.
At first, Baek Taeyang thought of just watching, but when he realized the seriousness of the situation, he hurriedly opened his mouth.
-I should have told you that I wouldn’t take personal questions. Even if that’s a joke, it seems that you crossed the line a bit. Well, I’ll end the press conference here.
In such a hurry, Taeyang Baek finished the press conference and grabbed Minsu Kim by the scruff of the neck and left the scene.
Finally, the video ended.
What situation does this look like now?
“You mean Kim Min-soo’s small condom?”
Conflict!!! That’s not it! That’s not to say! What really matters is that those two are participating in Gladir!
‘Who doesn’t know that.’
It was a fact that I already knew because everyone watched the interview video as soon as it was uploaded before Ahn Fatteeng said it.
Well, since it’s not in the group chat, you might think we don’t know.
The rest of the Noble members, except for An Fatty, nodded their heads inwardly.
Power, power, and everything was good, but it was because it was a bit like putting it in a group chat room.
Even if that was the head of Noble.
Well, I didn’t call you to fix the match. I just called because I thought it wouldn’t be bad to find a way to give Minsu some of the skills they stole from us in an unobtrusive way. This is the main point. And, of course, Taeyang Baek should be eliminated. If necessary, you can use the best rear end, so I’ll give you permission in advance. He must stop him unconditionally as long as he wins.
“Did you say it was a last resort?”
…? Ah yes yes
“…All right.”
Are you saying that Baek Tae-yang is so threatening that you have to write ‘that’?
Originally, it was prepared to be used against Cheon Hae-il or Jang Doo-cheol.
‘Why do you rate Baek Taeyang so highly?’
Clearing the S-class gate as a cadet? Yes, great work, and worthy of praise.
However, even after flying long, a cadet was still a cadet.
Non-Awakened people will suck it up, but if you evaluate it objectively in the Hunter world, it’s between the 3rd and 2nd grades.
Do you really think that a fledgling kid can do a good job in Gladir?
No matter how great he is, it must be his main skill.
‘Gladir isn’t about catching monsters.’
In order to win Gladir, you had to win in a match between hunters.
And at this time, the holder of the always active main skill had no choice but to eat a penalty.
‘I will never be able to win.’
Rule that holders of always-activated main skills cannot activate their main skills to minimize damage when hunters collide with each other.
This rule was the basis that Baek Tae-yang could never win.
Power to Minsu Kim! Despair for Baek Tae-yang! Let him know that there is a wall that he can’t get over, no matter how long and rampant he runs! Also, track down the person who posted Minsu’s crap and ask him to delete the post, and scare him! Because that really wouldn’t be true!
The rest of the Noble members eagerly tapped their cell phones while the fat man was arguing.

〈I can’t touch it beforehand, so wait until the day of the Gladir tournament.
〈 It would be nice to approach Kim Min-soo in advance instead of Baek Tae-yang.
〈 Consider the skill hunter activity for a while, because it looks strange if you suddenly become stronger after submitting a Gladir application.
〈 Let’s start all over again on Gladys Day.
〉 Okay. All for the Royal Road.
〈 For Royal Road.

Noble’s group chat room without fat.
Noble’s action plan was always carried out only in the absence of a head.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the day of the gladir competition.
Despite the preliminaries, a large number of people gathered and formed a sea of phosphates.
“There are a lot of people.”
It was the first impression I spit out after seeing the huge stadium and the people around it.
‘Is it okay to win here?’
He entered the arena with a big smile.
It was the start of the Gladir qualifiers.
