Chapter 58 – Finals (2)
Even when hearing the news that the Ada Bomber had broken through the round of 16, the Hunter of the Diamond Club laughed leisurely. However, when he heard the news that Jeong Su-hyeon had broken through to the quarterfinals, the corners of his mouth could no longer draw an arc.
And now, right in front of his eyes, Jung Soo-hyeon broke through the semifinals and confirmed his advance to the finals. Hunter’s face, who was watching this on the monitor screen, hardened gradually. Finalists confirmed. That meant that Jung Soo-hyeon and Kim Joo-seong would meet in the finals.
The cell phone was ringing. Hunter frowned at the name floating on the phone screen. He carefully picked up the phone, bent his body like a hunchback, and smiled.
“Oops, yes. President. What are you doing? Ah yes. Ah… Yes. I saw the news. Yes, don’t worry. Aww, no. President. Our Juseong will win. If you win, all such low-level topics will disappear and Juseong will only call your name. At that time, our Joo-seong’s heartbreaking past history, all of this and that, will be revealed and talked about, and after a few broadcasts, you will forget about the Ada bomber.”
After hanging up the phone, Hunter’s face was impatient. I really had to win. It was because the Ada bomber Jeong Su-hyeon, who garnered the most attention, really rose to the championship and the interest in him far surpassed Kim Joo-seong. He looked at Chunbae.
In the corner of the waiting room, Chunbae was still engrossed in a game on his cellphone. It’s called a rhythm game, but he didn’t know what exactly.
“Hey, it’s Chunbae. Stop playing that game and come here.”
He sat down and sang the chunbae. Chunbae glanced at the man and he said.
“Wait a minute. I only do this.”
“Under… Young.”
She had a lot to say about the man, but she decided to put up with it for once. It was because the final was just around the corner, and there was no need to come and blush with Chunbae. As if Chunbae had finished the game, he put his phone in and came in front of his man. The man took a deep breath and spoke to Chunbae.
“Hey, it’s Chunbae. We have to win unconditionally this time. You know what I mean?”
“Yes.”
“You’re the strongest among the buffs, just use them without thinking about your surroundings. I’ll roughly control the front of that door. Got it?”
“Yes.”
Hunter gritted his teeth. I absolutely had to win. If he didn’t win, he would also jeopardize himself for confidently pushing through with this plan.
*******
The heat of the finals was extremely hot. I couldn’t believe I was really fighting in the middle of this frenzy. Can I really make it? Can I really win? Can he beat Kim Joo-sung? Even in the waiting room, the stadium seemed to resonate.
I wasn’t the only one in the waiting room. Hunter Seong Ha-yeon and senior Yoo-jeong were also in Ichi. And next to Ichie, Ichie’s uncle, Ichigaya Noboru, was also sitting there humming a song, and about seven men in black suits stood in a group so that the small waiting room felt crowded.
Ichie’s uncle told me.
“Today, I came to cheer for the finals. I’m cheering for you, so I have to win.”
“Thank you.”
I bowed my head to my uncle and thanked him. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter said.
“To work hard. Because we will support you.”
“Yes.”
I decided to forget about the story that Kim Joo-sung manipulated her ability or did any special behind-the-scenes work. There was no point in thinking about it further, and I just did my best as I lost and won as I won. It would only get ugly if I raised suspicions of fabrication without evidence. Senior Yoo Jung said.
“You cannot give up. Got it?”
I looked blankly at senior Yoo-jung, feeling that there seemed to be some hidden meaning behind those words. The old man was smiling at me. I nodded. With her support, she seemed to have more strength.
The monitor was announcing the player’s position. I put on a helmet and picked up a spear and shield. A senior was waving his hand to me. Ichie said fighting. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter was nodding her head. I opened the door.
*******
As soon as the door closed, the impression of the people who cheered me on amicably hardened. Said Ichie’s uncle, Noboru Ichigaya.
“I heard about the situation. I won’t forgive you for cheating again because you cheated in the game with Ichie.”
Seong Ha-yeon nodded at his words, then raised her board marker to the arena map hanging in her waiting room. The large arena was originally used as a multi-purpose facility such as a concert hall in addition to its use for the Rookie of the Year competition, so there were many rooms. She intended to search the whole room for the suspicious one. She couldn’t figure out where the buffs were, so she had to go through all the rooms.
“Our goal is to scour all over here to find bufflings while our bombers hold out. You know? It may be an awakened person of a higher rank than us, so if you find one, don’t fight and send a message right away.”
All the men in black suits behind Noboru nodded and answered loudly.
“Yes!”
Ichie said.
“By the way, why didn’t you tell Suhyeon-sang?”
“If you wait for that, you won’t be able to concentrate on the game. If it really wasn’t manipulated or the buff wasn’t applied, surrendering for no reason could lead to more injuries.”
Ichie nodded as if he understood at Seong Ha-yeon’s answer. Seong Ha-yeon said as she put her vod maca back into her pocket.
“Then let’s go.”
As soon as she finished her words, men in suits rushed out. Noboru leisurely walked behind them. Kim Yoo-jung and Ichie also packed their equipment and walked outside. Seong Ha-yeon was about to go out, but Ichie looked at her cold knife.
“Hey, are you a real sword?”
Ichie nodded her head as if asking for something obvious. Seong Ha-yeon laughed in disbelief at that gesture.
“Hey, be careful. If you wield something like that, you really can’t handle it.”
Ichie nodded her head and said.
“I don’t kill.”
Seong Ha-yeon said after looking at Ichie with her uneasy face.
“Hey, come with me.”

In the corner of the gym hallway, in the midst of the finals, two men were standing face to face in a position no one else would come. It is Kim Chun-bae wearing glasses and holding his head in a stooped posture. And the person on the other side of it who looked around was the Hunter of the Diamond Club. He said as he pushed Chunbae into the room.
“Go in quickly. Go in and get ready right away. Because the main star just went up. You have to buff now.”
“Yes.”
Chunbae nodded her head in a submissive tone, then entered the room. Unlike her old door, the inside was very spacious and tidy. This was a large room used by the people who manage the stadium to hold meetings or make important announcements, but now it was rented under the name of [A dinner party to celebrate the victory].
In fact, in the room, steaming food was prepared by ordering a business trip buffet, and a table was set up for Kim Chun-bae, Kim Joo-seong, and himself and some guests to sit. The stage was prepared for Kim Joo-sung to announce his victory impressions. Crossing a room on the stage and going straight forward was the final stage where Kim Joo-seong was standing. Chunbae pulled her penlight out of her pocket and took a deep breath. She shouted, pinching the penlight between her fingers and then stretching her hand into the air.
“Huh! Come out! Misaki-chan!”
Then, a light rose between the breasts of her chunbae, and a beautiful girl jumped out of it. She wore a light pink frilly dress and long blonde twin tails. Eyes sparkling like the Milky Way. Chunbae stretched out her hand to Misaki with her ecstatic face. Misaki smiled and held her chunbae’s hand tightly before shouting.
“Yes! Everyone’s Love Love Idol! I’m Misaki-chan! So, are you ready to receive Misaki-chan’s love-love power today and work hard? If you are ready to persevere! Put her hands on top of her head and scream!”
“Oohhhhh! I love you Misaki-chan!”
“Yes! Thank you. Master! Then do your best today! Love love! Moe Kyun!”
“Kyuk!”
Hearing Chunbae’s screams from beyond the door, the Hunter laughed. He put his hand in her pocket and leaned against the door, fiddling with his phone. There was nothing wrong with this plan. Everything was perfect The referee decided to turn off the sensor, and there were two hunters from the Diamond Club in the S-class special audience.
Now, the rampage of the Ada bombers was over. His popularity will be continued by Kim Joo-seong, who defeated the bomber Jung Su-hyeon. She thought of a man. Today will be the first day that Diamond Club’s first entertainment hunter, Kim Joo-sung, stood out.
*******
I raised my head. Kim Joo-sung was standing on the other side. He was looking down at me with arrogant eyes. He never felt inferior to him. I didn’t care what he thought of me. However, I didn’t like the way Kim Joo-sung was giving me.
I shook my head once and looked at him. The match hasn’t started yet. As if responding to the people’s cheers, he stretched his body and swelled the muscles of his body.
“Oohhhhh!”
Tight muscles and fiercely burning gaze. He was a beast full of jealousy. The sound of grinding teeth was heard. Kim Joo-sung seemed to be talking to me now. Surrender if you don’t want to die. If you don’t surrender, you will be brutally crushed.
I responded with a grin at him. Even with the worn-out helmet, I was able to convey that I was smiling brightly.
Kim Joo-seong hardened his face and took a deep breath. I said a little in cheers.
“It’s a chewy royer.”
“This fucking bastard…”
The effect was amazing.
