< Psychic Wars - Pizza Battle World Championship (13) >
Episode 291
For example, like the other participating players.
Waiting room provided for players.
The players who gathered here to watch the final between Dohyeon and Khan fell into silence with hardened faces.
It was a reaction that had not been revealed even when the first finals began.
Obviously, until then, the atmosphere in the waiting room was very friendly.
They were enjoying their own leisure time, chatting about who would win, and building friendships with those who had played once.
It was after Dohyeon and Khan began to put their best efforts into the atmosphere that had subsided so heavily.
That is why the current battle was shocking.
“What is that-“
Everyone has an experience like that at least once in their life.
The experience of seeing something and assuming that ‘I would have done it this way’.
The ‘what if’ assumption to try by substituting someone else’s.
It was very familiar to the players.
Isn’t image training done that way in the first place?
‘If I were in this situation, how would I move?’, ‘How would I respond if I was attacked like this?’ This is because image training is what you train with your back in mind.
The players here also watched the final battle and did it.
As a player, it was natural.
In order to get anything in the final match, I had to put myself there.
. . . , completely unaware of the fact that it would plunge them into despair.
Dohyun stretches out his fist, and Khan counters it.
A very simple exchange of attacks.
However, the hearts of the players who saw it hardened even more heavily.
The fact that they participated in the World Championship of Physical Powerlifting here means that everyone had a lot of talent.
Talent enough to understand the meaning behind the studio right now.
If I didn’t know anything about it, I would have admired it as a great game.
Because he has a ‘middle’ talent, he will suffer from it.
The frustration and despair that came from realizing that ‘it was impossible for me to avoid that attack’, and the pain that came from it!
‘can not avoid.’
‘Can’t be stopped.’
‘You can’t win.’
No matter how many times you repeat it, the result is the same.
No matter who you substitute yourself with, you never think that you will be able to beat your opponent.
It’s the same for Dohyeon and Khan.
Yet they are still fighting.
Without hesitation, he faced his opponent.
This means that there is a difference in level.
The players felt helpless.
“Are all Koreans monsters?”
“What the hell happened in Korea this year?”
‘Really, crazy.’
The atmosphere of the waiting room that has subsided heavily.
Hearing the desperate murmurs of the players, Brad smiled bitterly.
At least he was free in this atmosphere.
It was because he had already faced Do-hyeon once in the semifinals, and because of that, he managed to realize Do-hyeon’s level.
In addition, he clearly believed that Khan had made progress as well as himself.
So, is there no reason not to accept this kind of battle?
However, it also meant that, on the contrary, it was necessary to be able to view that battle objectively without despair.
If that was easy, the number of people who made it to the quarterfinals would have changed a lot.
“I’m a self-confident person who has been a commentator for quite some time… but it’s really hard to say anything about this. It’s an unbelievable battle. Even if the real gods came down to fight, I would believe it.”
“Perhaps among the viewers, ‘Huh? Is it that much? Aren’t you overdoing it for nothing?’ Some of you may be thinking. I swear, no. Rather, I have a feeling that even these expressions are not enough!”
– That’s it??
– If you know how to fight, you will know. I’m crazy lol
-I am a challenger, but I am confident that I will be defeated in 5 seconds ㅇㅇ
-By the way, it’s a dog or sona challenger hahaha
The words of the broadcast crew, who barely opened their mouths, were filled with endless admiration.
Obviously, they are not players, so their direct talent may lag behind.
However, the talent for seeing the situation and the ability to put it into words were so excellent that he was in charge of broadcasting this big competition.
That’s why they were able to explain the finals to the viewers by smoothing them out.
“How many paints are mixed in a single attack, and how many intentions and thoughts are contained in one blow… It is impossible to explain all of them.”
“Even though, the tempo of the attack is constant. Each attack that follows naturally is difficult to block, and even if it is blocked, it is designed to be easily swept away by the subsequent attack.”
“design. That’s exactly what you’re saying. The flow of the battle itself is thoroughly designed. It’s so sophisticated that it’s creepy.”
– It looked like something great, but was that enough?
-You can tell if you are good at one-on-one in fighting. nonsense
– I don’t know;
– If you don’t know well, that’s cool~ hahahaha
“Once you watch the battle while thinking about how you would react if you were yourself, you’ll find out. uh? uh? It’s not at all strange to feel like you’re losing.
Because that’s true, that’s what it looks like.”
‘This···.’
Do-hyeon looked at Khan, who was competing on an equal footing with him, with eyes mixed with surprise.
This is because as the battle continued, Khan’s movements felt somewhat similar to his own.
Mainly in instantaneous judgments or in ways that lead to battles.
But there was also a clear sense of disparity.
Although similar, the fundamentals are clearly different–
After seeing Khan’s eyes burning hot and never leaving him, Dohyun ‘knows’ why he feels that way.
As always with his talent, he had to see through the opponent’s realm.
Using one clash as an opportunity, Dohyeon took a big step back.
He widened the distance and calmly pushed his body.
The same goes for Khan, who decided that it would be difficult to follow him right away!
As if the fierce battle up until now was said to be a lie, their battle went into a lull.
“It’s a strange way, that.”
Do-hyeon spoke first, taking advantage of the silence.
In his words, there was a clear admiration and the feeling of seeing something strange was young.
Just like when I was dealing with Vlad.
In fact, he was feeling the same sentiments as when he was in Brad.
I didn’t expect Khan and Vlad, the two people who thought they were so far apart now, would bring a new weapon and put it under his chin!
“Yeah? I think your method is more interesting.”
Khan replied with a bitter smile.
This is because the more they fight, the more they feel that the opponent is a monster that has no choice but to fight.
That’s the case with the recent clash.
Somehow, he managed to maintain an equal level, but unlike him, who concentrated to the point that his head throbbed, he didn’t even feel tired in Dohyun.
‘It means that this kind of battle is possible only by entrusting yourself to your talents.’
What was even more terrifying was that.
The fact that all the battles that had just been fought were fought back purely with ‘talent’ without any thought.
How much monstrous talent does it take to make it possible?
As Khan, it was hard to even guess…
“I thought it was something different, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Do-hyeon said with a smile, whether he knew Khan’s thoughts or not.
He thought that Khan’s method was similar to his own, but fundamentally different, and that was for a reason.
His current state of affairs is to surrender his body to what is called his unconscious, instinct—or talent—and respond to the opponent’s attack.
Before making decisions with the head, the body makes decisions first and continues the battle!
Because his thoughts do not go through his brain, he is always one beat faster than his opponent, and his talent is perfect, so his battles are perfect.
On the other hand, what about Khan?
“I’m sure it’s not the unconscious, but the consciousness itself that has struck a momentary response.”
It is similar to Dohyun’s method, but different.
Clearly, it can be said that it is similar to the way Do-hyeon surrenders herself to her talents.
But what are you fighting for?
The most important part was different.
Trusting in one’s own talent and entrusting himself to it is something only a ‘genius’ Dohyun can do!
If you lack even the slightest amount of talent, you will be defeated and unable to do anything.
What Khan chose for him was hard work.
Based on his innate sense of battle, he slapped every response into the ritual, completely accustomed to it, and entrusted his instant judgment to it.
The overall flow of the battle follows the thought, and the instantaneous reaction that connects him is a familiar reaction.
It’s kind of like a hybrid.
“Certainly, that would be more efficient.”
Do-hyeon admired the method Khan had found.
Because it was something he hadn’t thought of.
There is no way a ‘genius’ who can solve everything just by entrusting it to talent can devise such a method.
This was the result that Khan could achieve because he struggled endlessly to fill in the talent that Khan lacked and to reach Dohyun.
And the results were very good.
It’s not just the fact that he and Dohyun fought on an equal footing.
Khan’s method was also surprising to Do-hyeon.
In terms of efficiency, he overwhelms his method.
‘More diverse responses are possible.’
It’s not just about efficiency.
In fact, if it was only efficiency, there is no need to consider it.
Dohyun’s talent is truly a gift from heaven.
Because it was really meaningless to measure its effectiveness.
The advantage of Khan’s method is that it is a hybrid, meaning that more diverse responses are possible.
In a sense, Do-hyeon’s method is passive.
It was because the body was the first to move through the actions of the other person, the circumstances around them, and all the information that could be comprehensively accepted.
On the other hand, even though Khan left the body for a momentary response, he built a large skeleton himself.
It means that you can proceed with the battle at your own will, while reacting like crazy.
Isn’t that a fun way?
He ‘wanted to have’ this.
“Good, ‘this’.”
“······this?”
Khan, who suddenly felt a strange ominous feeling from Do-hyeon’s words, opened his eyes.
and he saw
It was still colorless and transparent, but Dohyun’s eyes filled with blazing flames inside.
It is markedly different from before.
The moment he realized it, Khan felt that Dohyun looked several times bigger.
That would mean that he was overwhelmed by his opponent.
Without realizing it, I can see Dohyun in a big way.
“ha ha ha-“
‘Is this how Brad felt?’
In the last quarterfinals, Dohyun reached the level that Blad had achieved just because he ‘saw it once’.
This time it was the same.
If Do-hyeon knows the destination to reach, there is no need for a way to get there.
Reaching results faster than the process.
That’s one of Dohyun’s talents.
Because it has the power to be called a ‘genius’.
He hadn’t thought much of it until then, but Khan finally knew.
How absurd it is to be a ‘genius’.
‘The difference of overwhelming talent.’
Khan’s efforts to reach this level make it worthless.
No matter how hard you die.
No, not just that.
In front of a genius named Dohyeon, the word effort loses its meaning and fades away.
genius. Or genius.
Is it a talent from heaven, or is it a disaster from heaven?
Khan couldn’t figure it out.
what he knows
“The game isn’t over yet, right?”
That their fight wasn’t over yet.
