Chapter 120 – Before the Strongest in Year 1 ( 7 )
“Did he go up to the finals?”
“Yes. Head of household.”
“Hmm..”
At the driver’s reply, the white-haired woman ran her hand over her chin and looked toward her window.
A face reflected in a transparent window.
Her bangs neatly swept to the side and her cold blue eyes.
Her proudly well-placed features were of the kind that could be called pretty, but the faint wrinkles under her eyes gave the impression of a middle-aged rather than a young woman.
The wrinkles under her eyes aren’t unusual considering she’s in her 40s.
However, considering that she belonged to the Baekga, and that even she was in the position of the head of her family, her appearance revealing her aging could be said to be very unusual.
The Baekga is a family known for its healing techniques in the world, and at the same time, it was also a family with a near-perfect secret in terms of body aging.
Still, there are traces of her age on her face.
This was also proof that she had been so busy as a woman that she had no time to care about the aging of her skin.
Her name is ‘vaccine’.
He was the head of Baekga, one of the current 10 families.
“If we made it to the finals, we should go. It’s just an academy competition.
“Yes. Then I will take you in the direction of the Shinsung International Academy.”
The vehicle starts moving along with the driver’s answer.
“…”
Baek Ji-ah, head of the Baek family, closed her eyes to relieve her fatigue, albeit a little.
=======
Cheols, who was watching the match between class c and class d, prepared to send a telepathic message to Hiro.
‘Our Hiro will be much stronger, but that’s a pretty annoying ability. It’s right to tell Hiro about this, right?’
Cheols, who was watching the match between C and D, prepared to send Hiro a remote telepathy.
Since the members of the class in the waiting room cannot see the other class’s matches, I thought to explain to Hiro about the abilities of class d that he should pay attention to.
“Hiro, can you hear me?”
– Ah yes! Dad.
“First of all, congratulations on winning the first match. Well! Of course this dad knew our daughter would win.”
– Ehehe-!
Cheols, who was chatting with Hiro amicably again, pouring out words like a daughter’s idiot.
“Oops. Sending telepathy is no different…”
In order to explain the ability of Baek Seo-hee and Lee Hye-jin in class d, I floated a rhyme.
– ..Hey Dad!
“Huh? What’s wrong with you?”
-Thank you for letting me know.
“Hmm.”
However, Hiro refused.
“Can I hear the reason?”
– That… The other person comes to the match without knowing about my ability or weakness, right? So I think it’s not fair that I’m the only one who knows the other person’s weaknesses…
In response to Cheols’ question, Hiro expressed his thoughts in a slightly hesitant tone.
Although it was an answer that would never be accepted by Cheols, who was careful to thoroughly investigate the other person’s weaknesses in advance and dig into them to the lowest level.
“I see. It makes sense.”
But I respect it because it is my daughter’s opinion.
– Also… I heard that the representative of class d is the successor of Baekga.
“Isn’t it? Ah.”
In an instant, the relationship between Baekga and Hiro flashes through my mind.
– I want to win with my skills as much as he!
‘I was paying attention.’
Hiro never forgot.
Hundreds of people who were sold out to Cheols in their own home environment and funeral home.
“Okay. Then Dad will be cheering for you here.”
– Yeah! I will win, Dad!
Shit.
Hearing Hiro’s cute and cheerful voice, Cheols looked up at the hologram square window above the arena with a hearty smile.
[Now~ in a moment! The final winner match between class a and class d is about to begin, so I hope you solve urgent business such as the bathroom in advance.. We will start in 5 minutes! ]
All the collapsed walls in the hologram window are restored and the map is equipped.
‘If it’s Hiro, he’ll take care of himself.’
Cheols took off his glasses as he saw a red-haired girl stepping onto the field and a white-haired girl across from him.
======
Wow–!
As soon as you climb the stairs, you hear cheers.
Unlike the first time, the heat was rising as soon as the contents of the game that followed.
‘Tremble..’
I feel a sense of pounding deep in my heart in people’s eyes.
‘Maybe I’m nervous?’
Because so many people are watching.
I wonder if that’s why I’m trembling.
‘No, it’s different.’
It is not a trembling from fear.
Rather, it was like a pounding heart before accomplishing a big task.
The more people watch and send expectations.
‘Baek family… Baek Seo-hee.’
The more there is an exact opponent that must be defeated.
‘I’ll definitely win.’
The willpower as the main character is getting stronger.
“…”
At the time Hiro looked at Baek Seo-hee, Baek Seo-hee was also watching Hiro.
‘Perfect..’
I can’t help but admit it.
The appearance, atmosphere, and even the skills are so perfect there.
Baek Seo-hee, a girl who seems very close to the ‘perfection’ she is pursuing.
Even unlike her artificially created perfection of her own, that girl named Hiro Kim’s perfection is so natural.
‘Still, if I win, I’ll be more perfect.’
No matter how perfect the opponent is, it’s enough to break it before it shines.
It was originally a game that had to be won, but one more reason not to lose has increased.
[Participants in each class! Everyone please board the vr device! ]
With the shout of host Bernard Shaw, all the participants in class a and d start boarding the virtual reality device.
Jiying– clap-!
In the case of Class D, Baek Seo-hee boarded the red [King] Capsule.
“I think it’s right for Hiro to get on the king’s capsule this time. Wouldn’t it be a big deal if I get assassinated again?”
“I… I also think it’s right for Hiro to get on the king capsule!”
In Class A, Hyeji and Ahyeon recommended Hiro to board the king capsule.
In the confrontation with class b, Hyeji was assassinated in an instant, so when she thought of someone who would not be assassinated, the only answer was Hiro, who had strong durability.
“A class fighting!”
Finally, the three members of Class A approach the capsule while shouting slogans.
Ji-ing–.. Clap-!
The cap of the capsule closes and the surrounding area is dyed black.
Hwaaaaak–!
From the center of the darkened field of vision, the senses that had disappeared open wide and returned.
And what I saw was the blue sky and the road that looked down.
“Come here! Hyeji!”
Unlike before, Ahyeon called Hyeji as soon as it started.
“Ha-!”
Wow–!!
It immediately wraps around Hong Hye-ji and herself in the form of an igloo.
Damn..!
It must have been a big shock to Ah-hyeon to see Hye-ji eliminated by Jeok Sena, so this time he built an ice wall with overlapping layers.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Eh! Hiro, watch out!”
“If you die, take care of yourself!? Because I believe in you!”
Hiro smiled brightly after receiving quiet Ahyeon’s support and enthusiastic Hyeji’s shouts and buffs.
Dig–!
Hiro jumps down the wall just like in the first game.
Worst-!
Even after becoming a king, the one-man assault stance has not changed.
Everyone knew that if Hiro was eliminated anyway, there was a high probability that the other team members would also end.
Wave–!
Unlike class b, Hyeji’s buff is still on, so her running speed is much faster.
Widely-..!
In an instant, Hiro crossed the long road and reached right in front of Class D’s castle gate.
‘Someone.’
Chuck.
I found a human figure standing right in front of the castle gate and stopped there.
“I can’t go any further…”
A boy with a grumpy face who stutters.
It doesn’t look very strong with a frightened expression on his short stature.
‘But that…?’
However, the huge ax stuck right next to the boy made it impossible to relax.
“Get out of the way.”
Aiming at the red aura of the sword, Hiro spoke to the boy in a low voice.
“That… That! That’s impossible… I told you to wait as long as possible.”
Swoop.
The boy slowly threw his helmet, which he was holding with both hands, over his head.
“Great—!!”
Do-doo—!
It begins to inflate its body with a scream.
Grasp–! The school uniform the boy was wearing exploded.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
Soon, a muscular giant is completed.
Kwajik– Boooung–!
Namsang, a boy who has grown in size unlike before, grabs the hilt of the ax that was next to him with one hand and swings it wide to show off his majesty.
“I can’t pass!!”
“…”
Nettle liquid—!
Looking up at the massive ax blade that was about to slash it from top to bottom at him.
Whiik-!
Hiro swings his sword lightly.
Wow—!
The ax blade collided with the longsword, and the sound of metal ringing reverberated widely.
Considering the size of the 5-meter male statue and Hiro’s body, which seemed like he could be caught with one hand compared to him, it was normal for Hiro to be cut by the axe.
Kiki Gik– Kki Ik..!
Shaking..
“Huh..! Kwaaa..!!”
Namsang screams while shaking his arms and hands holding the ax handle.
Thump-!
Soon, one hand wasn’t enough, so I grabbed the sack with both hands and tried to give it strength.
Deokdeuk..!!!
“…”
Hiro blocks the blade of an ax the size of his body with a long sword held in one hand without any sign of effort.
“Supreme King Sword.. 2 conclusion.”
–Paewang Jin Cheonsei–!!
Parka Gagang–!!
Nam-sang’s ax blade shattered into fragments as Hiro moved his sword lightly.
“Uh…Uhh?!”
When Namsang, who was surprised, was making a stupid expression while holding an ax that only had an axe.
Jerk-jerk-jerk–
“Move.”
Hiro spoke to Namsang not as a request but as a command.
From the ceiling of the castle at that time.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
“Why are you acting like a puppy that’s been wanting to poop?”
“It looks like someone is standing in the air..”
“Yes?”
At Ahyeon’s words, Hyeji focused on the top floor of Class D.
“What is it really… There’s only one person standing!?”
I could spot d’ban Lee Hye-jin with her crossbow on the floor and reaching her hand toward the sky.
“What are you doing! I have to shoot and kill you right now!”
“But… Hiro has to help…”
Ahyeon’s eyes were fixed on Hiro, who was fighting (losing one-sidedly) with Namsang below.
I’m going to have a good time..-!
The gigantic icicle summoned next to it continued to nod, as if it were preparing to fire support at the slightest gap.
“There’s no need to worry about Hiro, right? He’s so strong… Rather than that, we need to eliminate at least one more visible enemy team. Does that help Hiro?”
“Help Hiro…!”
Ah-hyun’s eyes lit up at Hong Hye-ji’s words.
Swoop.
Soon he raised one arm and aimed it at the top of the opponent’s castle-
Susu— Paang–!
I fired the icicle next to me at once.
Nettle liquid—!
A blue beam that instantly shrinks from an icicle to the level of a needle needle and flies at the speed of a beam of light.
‘Night Killer’, developed over a long period of time by Sae-Na Jeok, was completely copied by A-Hyun Cheong with just one look!
Paang–!
“Did you catch it?!”
Hong Hye-ji asked, full of anticipation.
“..No. It’s blocked.”
Qing Ah-hyeon shook her head with her bewildered face and replied.
“Haa- There’s no way you’ll be caught that easily… Well, there’s an elemental type over there too.”
“That… Isn’t elemental?”
At the end of Ahyeon’s gaze as she answered, she could see the transparent membrane covering the entire castle of Class D.
