Chapter 183 – 18. The Colosseum.
+++
A few days later, the Harem Festival held by Eun Eun Yoo came to an end, and the Coliseum, which made the world buzz with broadcasts by various media and famous streamers, was sorted out to some extent.
Among those who advanced to the round of 32, there were 8 who gave up the challenge and 32 who declared the challenge.
8 people gave up the challenge, but how did 32 people come out? It’s because they sold the challenge that can be exchanged for prize money (100,000 dollars) to others.
Thus, 32 challengers were filled.
While people were delighted with the increased number of things to see, they began to look forward to the power of Yueun and her family, which will soon be revealed.
If she was confident enough, she would have bet a huge amount of money on even a single lady-in-waiting.
Took. Took.
[Ah. Ah. Microphone test.]
Lim Seo-hyun, who has heated up the Internet by hosting only once.
She went on stage again.
“Ohhh!”
“It’s Seohyun!”
“Lim Seohyun!!”
In just a few days, the members of the fan cafe were chanting her name her.
[Ladies and gentlemen. Hello. This is Lim Seo-hyun, who is in charge of the moderator today.]
She grabs the microphone and introduces herself, tucking her hair behind her ear her.
She looked so innocent and pretty that cheers could be heard from everywhere.
[From this moment on, we will entertain your eyes and ears through the challenges of those who have entered the Round of 32 at the Colosseum. The challenge takes place on the spot, and the evaluation of items entrusted as guarantees is also done on the spot.
Let me explain the prize money again.
A prize of $1 million will be given to those who succeed in challenging the second-place maid, $3 million to those who succeed in challenging the first-place maid, and $8 million to those who succeed in challenging the executive.
If you challenge Gilma-level beyond the executive level and succeed, you will receive a prize of 20 million dollars. I will give you 600 billion won in Hanwha.]
Gulp.
Beyond the cheers, the throat of tension was heard here and there.
A huge amount of money for a single event. There are 100 billion units of money that even chaebols cannot easily spend, but they hung it casually.
People applauded Yoo Eun’s self-confidence in her, but focused all their attention on who would challenge her.
[I will explain the rules. First, if you intentionally attack the spectators, you will be eliminated immediately. Second, when using a wide area skill, it is considered an outfield defeat. Third, if you fall or go out of the stage, you are eliminated. Fourth, unlike the preliminaries, there are no restrictions on injuries. The challenge will not end or stop except for the death of someone or if anyone is obviously incapacitated, if one of them shouts surrender, or if a dropout occurs due to the three situations described above.]
In simple terms, it means that it is a one-on-one killing game without wide-area skills.
[Okay then, I will enter the first challenger right away.]
+++
[Okay then, I will enter the first challenger right away.]
Back.
A young man.
Waiting nervously in the waiting room, he got up as soon as the broadcast came out.
He’s the first order.
Should I say good luck or bad luck?
Anyway, I feel like I’m in a crucible of tension.
‘We must win!’
As a challenger, I heard the rules beforehand.
A fight to the death.
Maybe today I will end my short life.
But he took up his favorite weapon his with hope.
A whip made of bones.
Although he looks shabby at first glance, he boasts considerable utility performance and attack power.
‘I’ll definitely win and get her.’
His purpose is to achieve love.
The woman he loves is the daughter of a chaebol family. She can’t marry anyone
Even though she was an adventurer who broke her name, she was not enough to be compared to the daughter of a conglomerate family, and that was the case in reality.
Her parents were vehemently against her association her with him.
‘Where’s the watchdog talking about the owner?!’
It is a word that flew along with the baduktong.
He had the power to protect the woman, protect her family her, and take care of her guard her, but all he got back was a cold response.
But he couldn’t back down.
In order to be allowed to date, I put a condition under the pretext of this event.
‘I will make it to the top 32 at the Colosseum and challenge the executives to succeed!’
The owner of the house snorted.
First of all, the event itself where the Colosseum was held was not particularly famous, and I don’t know how strong the executives are. Even if you beat them, you don’t know if it’s great or not, so of course you have to snort.
However, the owner came to know that Yu-eun is a hot adventurer in the world through information coming in from the surroundings, and that his power is also a place that commands the world.
So once you agree.
If he goes to the 32nd round of the Colosseum and fights against the harem palace officials, he will allow you to date.
But, don’t get married. No excessive skinship.
That was the condition of his permission.
He had enough of that.
Marriage can be acquired later by something else.
“I will win… I will definitely win…!”
“Hey bro.”
Before leaving the entrance, a bald adventurer spoke to him as he clenched his fists and made a promise.
“I heard you’re going to challenge an executive? Take it easy. It’ll be difficult if there’s no executive to challenge later.”
“…”
It looks like he will challenge the executives too.
A confident look.
Looking around the waiting room, everyone is relaxed.
Most of them know that Yu-eun is an extremely powerful being, but they are not aware of the strength of those who are called maids-in-waiting or executives.
This is because during the Tokyo defense battle, which remained as a clear video, only Yoo Eun’s performance stood out.
Maybe a natural phenomenon.
“…Thank you.”
The young man nodded and walked out the door.
+++
[The first challenger is coming onto the stage.]
“Ohhh!!”
“Win!”
[Name Joo Hyung-seon. The motive for the challenge is to achieve love!]
Whoops!
“Isn’t it nice?”
“Damn it. You’re young.”
[It is said that he stood here in order to be allowed to date the woman he loves. The woman and her parents her are watching this moment together. Whether he will be able to succeed in the challenge is noteworthy.]
Remembrance.
While Lim Seohyun was talking about this and that, a young man stepped up to the center of the stage.
There is no referee because the rules are extremely simple.
Standing on the empty stage, he swung the bone whip once.
Wedge!
A piercing sound that seemed to tear the air.
The audience watched him with the mindset that the highlight had finally begun.
[Mr. Joo Hyeong-woo. Who would you like to challenge?]
Lim Seohyun asked.
“…I will challenge you.”
[…
And I was given a bold challenge.
“Oh, oh oh oh!!!”
“It’s a challenge to Lim Seohyun!”
“Executive from the start!!”
Seohyun was silent for a while, then he turned around and said something to someone.
Then he looked at the casting line again and asked.
[To challenge me, I need collateral equivalent to 10% of the prize money and $80,000. Please provide collateral.]
Wedge!
He swung his whip once more.
The stage floor cracked.
“This weapon is the collateral.”
At his calm words his, several ladies-in-waiting approached.
“Show me a moment.”
They examined the handed whip here and there and then nodded.
Soon, he sent an OK sign to Seohyun.
[The value of the collateral has been recognized, so I accept the challenge.]
Seohyun jumped up from the spot and came down to the stage.
People cheered for the splendid act.
The ladies-in-waiting left, and only Joo Hyeong-seon and Lim Seo-hyeon were left on the stage.
The society was temporarily taken over by another maid.
“Aren’t you bringing your weapon?”
Joo Hyeong-seon asked Seohyun, who seemed to have no equipment.
Seohyun shook her head.
“It doesn’t seem necessary.”
“…”
Provocative language.
But he wasn’t angry, he wasn’t urged to take up arms like some chivalry.
I just appreciate the carelessness and opportunity.
His goal His is not to fight, but to win! If the other person looks down on me, I’m rather thankful.
“Don’t regret halfway through. You might cry and run to the master.”
“You are doing well.”
Seohyun, who erased the smile she was making while watching the society, even if it was businesslike, didn’t even get that common fighting posture.
[First Challenge! Challenger Joo Hyung-seon vs executive-level Lim Seo-hyun! Who will be the winner? Let’s start right away!!]
