63 – Battle (5)
After the game was decided, Yoo Seong-won walked towards the audience. Since the extent of the injury was not severe, he did not have to go to the recovery room like Park Jeong-pal. After being roughly treated by the therapist, I went to the audience and Pyo Hang-woo started talking to me.
“It was a waste. I could have won, but I thought it was a shameful way to play outside.”
“It’s a waste?”
“Uhh…Why?”
“Ha…”
Yoo Seong-Won felt more depressed because he was weaker than Ymir than the fact that he was defeated.
It’s not a waste of money.
He fought, flustered and nervous, but not Ymir. Through that composure, Yoo Seong-won realized. She knows that Ymir is much stronger than she is. Depression soon turned into frustration, and frustration soon turned into anger, burning his emotions.
You have to be stronger.
Suddenly, time feels like a waste. It’s such a waste to kill time hanging out with Pyo Hang-woo, Park Jeong-pal, and other delinquents.
The same result happened today because I wasted time on such a complacent thing.
Yoo Seong-won blamed himself and turned around.
“Where are you going?”
“Training.”
“Training? Daejeon just ended, so you’re going to training?”
“Uh.”
He quietly made his way to the training ground.

Yoo Seong-won’s defeat seems to have planted a warning to many people. He is taking a brief breather until the next game, when the notification on his smartwatch comes to his mind constantly.
[Cadet Eun Seon-gon has given up the fight.]
[Cadet Lim Jin-won has given up on Daejeon.]
[Cadet Jeon Byeong-hun gave up the war.]
It was a notice that everyone was giving up the war.
Singy bastards.
It seems that there were a lot of guys who applied for it in a stabbing way. Thanks to that, I got a lot of points for free. I shrugged my shoulders and checked my record.
[Ymir]
[Current 30 points (+25)]
[Currently, 4 Matches Remaining]
A score of 20 puts you in the top 3, but 30 points.
More victory points are meaningless. This is because even if there are achievements related to battle results and stats or points are rewarded, you can copy the points you already have and increase your stats faster through training.
Who was the remaining opponent?
I checked the roster by manipulating the smart watch. There are no more applicants, so you only have to count the remaining opponents.
Yuna U, Jisung Choi, Yeonsi Ha, Cheolwoo Han.
There are only four left.
Aside from Choi Ji-seong and Han Cheol-woo, why did Uyuna name me?
My next opponent was Uyuna. I was curious about her and tried to contact her and ask her, but belatedly remembered her attributes.
There aren’t many female cadets in Tier 1.
Yuna tends to avoid male cadets. It is because of the complex that comes from the superior body.
So that’s why you asked me to fight.
It could be another reason.
After that, I fought and won a match against Uyuna, and ended up playing against Choi Ji-seong. An unexpected situation happened then. Choi Ji-seong suddenly abstained.
Through [Eyes of Comparison], I figured out that he was on the same level as me, so I wanted to take this opportunity to check his skills. So it didn’t make sense for him to abstain. As soon as the game was over, I asked him why he withdrew, and Choi Ji-seong gave an answer like Choi Ji-sung.
“You have too many matches scheduled than I thought. This isn’t fair.”
He was considerate of me, as if he didn’t care about the results of the match. He also has a personality that makes no sense. After that, I withdrew from the remaining two matches between Ha Yeon-si and Han Chul-woo. Because interest has waned.
Choi Ji-seong said he was sorry, and Han Cheol-woo and Ha Yeon-si provoked him, but I ignored it. Any more victory points are meaningless to me anyway.

Seol Kyu-geon watched Ymir’s battle and spied on it. At first, he tried to watch alone so that he would not be seen, but later, there were many people in the audience, so he brought key members of the magicians to watch together.
When Ymir defeated Kim Yuk-soo, I thought he was strong for a freshman, but after seeing him defeat Yoo Seong-won, I felt a sense of crisis.
“That guy is much stronger than I expected.”
“I don’t understand why you defeated Yoo Seong-won.”
“No, it’s rather strong, so the culprit might be right.”
Yoo Seong-won is a descendant of a heroic family. He is not just a heroic family, but a descendant of the 5 greatest heroic families. It is said that cotyledons are different from the bud. Cadets of hero families are distinctly different from ordinary cadets, but the 5 hero families are even more different. They have a fighting power level that exceeds that of ordinary people.
Ymir fought against such a meteor and won. Through that, Seol Kyu-geon came to completely trust the information he heard from the president.
That guy is the one who killed Hunseung Jeon.
Han Bong-nam, a freshman Mine student who was watching with me, said.
“It doesn’t look that strong in my eyes, isn’t that simply luck?”
“What? Luck?”
“Yes. You won out of the box.”

Seol Gyu-geon clicked his tongue. I brought him because he was the strongest among the freshmen, but his eyes are so bad.
“It’s not luck, it’s skill. You watched that a lot.”
“You watched it?”
“Yes. I was able to crush enough… Perhaps he was conscious of Yoo Seong-won’s background.”
“Hmm….”
Han Bong-nam suffered from not being able to understand. He was assigned to Tier 2 in this match-up test. However, his actual combat power was not tier 2, and he was conscious of being a Mine, so he deliberately lowered his combat power measurement and received it, but luckily he was assigned to tier 2.
Han Bong-nam said.
“It looks like he won while struggling, doesn’t it?”
“No.”
“Hmm….”
Seol Kyu-geon tried to explain it to him, but quit because it was annoying.
Ah, time is wasted.
He said, keeping her gaze fixed on Ymir.
“Much stronger than expected. I can’t plan poorly.”
All the other Mine cadets who came along agreed with Seol Gyu-geon’s words, but Han Bong-nam didn’t understand and put on a blank expression.

During the training intensive week, the training ground was about to explode, but with the Daejeon intensive week, it is quiet. It is for everyone to adjust their best condition ahead of the match.
Arriving at the training ground, I smiled as I saw Yoo Seong-won training in a corner.
It seems that being defeated by me has spurred you on.
Good. I was happy to see that, and then I headed to the empty training room to train myself. All the components of the elixir were absorbed, so I took a new elixir, but it was more than twice as expensive as the last time. In order not to turn expensive prices into bubbles, you have to train constantly.
While training, I was taught martial arts by Park Dae-shik in my spare time. Park Dae-shik taught me in a way that supplemented the existing martial arts rather than teaching new martial arts.
“I will tell you about Yongmugong’s last meal.”
I was curious and asked.
“Are there only four herbivores in Yongmugong?”
When I thought about it while asking, four were correct. Shooting star infinity, shooting star combo, shooting star, and now Park Dae-sik will tell you about the herbivore.
“Yes.”
“Are you usually this low in martial arts?”
I don’t know much about martial arts.
“Every weapon is different.”
Park Dae-sik shook his head and explained calmly.
“One dragon martial art is much more powerful than other martial arts. Martial arts with a variety of herbivores have a variety of herbivores to compensate for their shortcomings. So, the less herbivore you eat, the stronger your martial arts.”
I didn’t understand what he said. Conversely, the low number of herbivores means that it could be a simpler and weaker weapon.
However, I agreed with the statement that Yongmugong is powerful.
That’s how he taught me the meteor fist, the last herbivore of Yongmugong.
“It is a technique that shatters the opponent in a single blow by approaching at high speed like a meteor flying away. Like a meteor shower that fell out of nowhere.”
I received the power of my talent and easily mastered the last herb he taught me. If the meteor combo opened the floodgates and the meteor infinity rushed like a waterfall, the meteor fist was literally close to a one-hit kill.
By ruthlessly driving mana into his fists, he wins the match with a single blow.
Such skill.
I learned it by practicing it for a while.

While all the other cadets were concentrating on fighting, I, freed from the influence of victory points, was absorbed in melting the elixir. When I came out of the training room, feeling the ecstasy of increasing my abilities, there was a girl with a cute face but a dwarf-like body, standing there.
“Ymir. I heard you live at the training ground, so it’s true.”
I looked at her as I wiped her sweat.
“Who?”
Somehow the familiar looks familiar, so I looked back and found that it was one of the girls who bullied Ko Soo-young in the past.
Was he a friend of Pyo Ji-won?
“You’re not interested in a classmate like you.”
“Because I’m not good at memorizing names.”
I don’t memorize the names of people I’m not interested in. She said with a sigh.
“I am Eunha-min.”
“Yes. Your name is pretty.”
I gave her empty compliments and she looked around her, blushing. Recognizing that there were no people at the nearby training facility, she said cautiously.
“Do you have a lot of victory points?”
“There are many. Why?”
Her face became servile.
“Only sell me 3 points. The more you sell, the better.”
“…”
I looked at her dumbfounded and she said patronizingly.
“I’ll give you the money.”
I didn’t expect to ask for victory points so blatantly. No, I didn’t expect anyone to ask for it. Of course, trading points is a disciplinary reason.
“Aren’t you short of money?”
Since she is staring blankly, she seems to have judged it positive.
“I have a lot of money. Live well in our house I am the daughter of the head of the Dwarf Guild.”
It looks like dwarves, but the background is also the daughter of the head of the dwarf guild, which makes me feel strange.
