Chapter 100 – 100. He Was a True Hero.
In each room, you can watch the duel through the TV. Dokgo Hwaryeon and Gong Suji watched Johnson on the TV screen and cheered enthusiastically. Although he didn’t reach Johnson, he screamed loudly.
“Johnson! Johnson! Johnson!”
Jin Jin-na hated seeing the two of them and focused on TV. She didn’t forget her face as manager. Two males were confronting each other in the ring. They each held their own stance and glared at each other with the momentum to jump out at any moment.
Have a conversation I didn’t even hear the sound. Johnson gave information about the game to Taeyang Geum. A mission is a mission, and survival is survival. Because he was a member of the same ‘Truth Search’ club, he couldn’t be turned away.
In a game that doesn’t know how long it will last, Golden Sun realized that he had to get food. And food was a reward that could only be obtained by passing missions in order of arrival.
There was a high possibility that a reward similar to food was at stake in the 6th stage mission. In the midst of tension, Taeyang Geum struck first. He stretched out his fist at Johnson.
A hardened punch, a quick hit and run jab, a sharp thrust to measure the distance from Johnson. But it was a bunch. It didn’t work for Johnson.
Johnson is no ordinary person. He has been practicing regularly. Despite having a stronger body than anyone else, he was not lazy. For Johnson, Geum Taeyang’s boxing was close to a trick and an attack.
There was an overwhelming weight class gap between Johnson and Geum Taeyang. It was not a level that could be overcome with technology. In front of black people, Taeyang Geum was also a baby.
Johnson showed white teeth and began to beat the golden sun. The gold sun’s head swayed to and fro with each stroke of Johnson’s arm. It was one-sided violence like a fight between an adult and a child.
“Win Johnson!”
Jin Jin-na watched the men struggle on the TV screen. Black Johnson and Gold Taeyang, the two of them shared their fists with all their strength as if they had met each other as enemies. Blood spurted out. The nosebleed flowed profusely.
The Golden Sun side was clearly being pushed back. Even in the eyes of Jinlina, who knew nothing about martial arts, there was no hope for Geumtaeyang. Gold’s face was a mess.
The ruthless violence did not end until the golden sun gave up. The duel ended only after Geum Taeyang himself declared surrender. Johnson was the only one standing on his own two legs.
“Oh, it’s over.”
Johnson returned to the room. Perhaps because of the duel with the golden sun, Johnson is sweating profusely. The male scent filled the room. Jinlina frowned at the unfamiliar smell.
In comparison, Dokgo Hwaryeon and Gong Suji had quite different expressions. He instinctively looked at their male. The two put on sloppy faces and started taking care of Johnson.
Dokgo Hwaryeon’s nostrils flared violently. Suji Gong wiped away Johnson’s sweat with a flushed face. He couldn’t hide his funny expression.
Jin-Rina was hard to understand. Is it because of the training method of interacting naked? From Jin Jin-na’s point of view, the three of them were no longer in a normal relationship. The smiles of Dokgo Hwaryeon and Gong Suji were the kind of smiles that only lovers would show.
‘Whatever the three of us do, it has nothing to do with me.’
You only need to show up well in the ‘Truth Search’ club. Going further than that will only tire each other out. Jinlina decided not to interfere deeply in their relationship. Kids these days are said to be open-minded, so it’s as long as they don’t mind.

“It’s not over yet. The timer is still running, only counting Johnson’s win earlier. It feels like you have to accumulate as many victories as possible over time, right?”
“Oh, Shit…”
New information was updated on the TV screen.
[Rewards are given to the top five teams, and terrifying punishments are given to the bottom four teams]
[Players who are incapacitated or who have declared surrender cannot participate anymore]
“Senior Geum Taeyang is no different from being eliminated Yo.”
“We have to re-determine the contestants.”
“I will go out. Yo.”
“Johnson… You can’t push yourself too hard. We can fight, so it’s best not to get hurt…”
The hero and spirit are one body. A hero is a human who can borrow the power of a spirit, and without a spirit, he is just a weak human.
It may be lost to the general public. No matter how hard she trained, there were limits to her body as a woman. It was clear that he would be helplessly defeated, especially against adult men.
Feeling this fact so keenly, even the fierce Dokgo Hwaryeon couldn’t say that he would come forward. Dokgo Hwaryeon is strong for a woman. That word soon. It didn’t mean that he was stronger than men.
Even assuming that he fights with Lee Do-joon, there is no guarantee that Dokgo Hwaryeon will be able to win. So I kept my mouth shut and deferred the duel to Johnson. It was the same with Suji Gong and Jinlina.
Johnson took the lead in every duel. He did his best no matter who the opponent was. He won three victories by inviting surrender. But after that, it wasn’t easy. Angry people rushed at Johnson.
Occasionally, there were people armed with weapons. Bats, studded gloves, and even blades appeared. It’s a kitchen knife that you might only see in a kitchen, but the threat it gave was beyond imagination.
“What is that! It’s against the rules!”
Dokgo Hwaryeon screamed, but nothing changed. It was because her team was dominating, so the spirits gave the advantage only to the opposing camp.
“Johnson… ! I can’t get hurt… !”
Johnson cannot use spirits. The spirits, the organizers of the game, have banned it. The moment you borrow the power of the spirit, you don’t know what will happen. The gate could really open because they were imbued with demonic nature.
“Ah… !”
Blood flowed from Johnson’s body. It was because he was slightly cut by the blade. The common man holding the blade trembled. He shouted loudly at Johnson. He even looked desperate somewhere.
Why are you working so hard? Johnson, with his cadet status, recommended surrender as much as possible, but they tried to win Johnson over somehow. Jin-Rina had a hard time understanding it.
Johnson calmly knocked him out. The cleaver tumbled across the ring floor. It was the moment when victory was assured. And then Johnson came back. He could hear what was going on in his mouth.
“… Penalties vary depending on the number of defeats. The team that failed the 5th stage mission learned the dire punishment Yo. That’s why I didn’t surrender.”
“A terrifying punishment?”
“Yes, the floor is filled with water. The team that lost 4 said they couldn’t move because the water was right under their bed. Yo. Fucking a room, maybe if the room gets smaller, it will be a big deal.”
“That… !”
Truth be told, I couldn’t contain her astonishment. Maybe she’s been too optimistic so far. It seems that he was complacently thinking that the spirits would not do anything heinous and that this game would end safely.
‘This is real.’
If you can’t find a way to escape, you’ll have to keep being dragged into the game of the spirits. It is impossible to predict what kind of damage will occur in the process. It seems that he has touched the spirits that should not be stimulated.
“I couldn’t help it, Yo. If I give in to my opponent and surrender, the next…”
“I understand, Johnson.”
“I wanted to protect Hwaryeon, Suji, and Jinrina seniors. So I didn’t give up Yo. The people I need to protect with my hands… Big.”
Johnson is also a cadet who dreams of becoming a hero. There is no way to be happy with this situation where you have to use your strength on civilians. Johnson bridged the guilt trap. He was sacrificing for the female students of the ‘Truth Search’ club.
“For now, I will continue.”
“Isn’t it dangerous? I have a wound on my arm…”
“It is the male’s duty and role to protect the female. Yo. Susie is better than dangerous.”
Johnson went on to duel. He ran nonstop to get the best reward possible. With about 30 minutes left, the mission results were announced. Too many surrendered by Johnson.

Naturally, Jinlina’s team won first place. It was the result of the elimination of the rest of the team. A huge amount of food appeared on the table. As a rule of thumb, I thought I could easily endure it for about a week.
“The refrigerator got bigger!”
“Is the room bigger?”
Gong Su-ji piled up food in the new refrigerator. There were many other foods other than lunch boxes. Ramen noodles and other instant foods filled the refrigerator.
Dokgo Hwaryeon looked around the room. It seemed to be widened overall. In fact, it has been expanded by about 50%. When there were four of us, there was a bit of a cramped feeling, but it definitely became more comfortable.
“… Really, it doesn’t give me a chance to rest.”
Jinrina let out a sigh of hers. Information about the 7th stage group mission was revealed on the TV screen. The timer was also 1 hour, which meant that it was not a short mission.
[Group Mission 7 Steps]
[Take a room 2]
[59:57]
“What will it be about this time…”
Dokgo Hwaryeon watches the TV with a nervous face. She felt responsible for Johnson’s injury. She wanted to help on any mission. It was a specification for her to be a useless girl.
“Take a room 2 is a team exhibition…”
Jin Jin-na slowly read the settings on the TV screen.
Room Takeover 2 is a team game and is a game in which players steal the opponent’s room. In the background of a real motel, you have to win what you want through a match against an opponent. Freedom to compete, freedom to bring what to bring.
“Is the competition free?”
The mission started without clearing up the mystery. The motel door burst open. Johnson looked out the door. It was an ordinary motel hallway. The hallway in front of Room 606, where we first entered.
Johnson listened. The noise seemed to be coming from downstairs. He sharpened his senses and was alert. And he could understand What kind of game is Room Eating 2?
“You have to be careful. Fucking a room 2 is like going to each other and having a showdown Yo.”
“Are you going to visit me?”
“Yes, downstairs has already started. We need to prepare too. Yo. Will you fight or block and hold on…”
“…”
“By the way, the door is not locked Yo.”
Anyone can enter. There is no way to expel the challenger. Then, the door to the next room opened. Johnson stared at room 605. Golden Sun walked out with an angry face, her eyes turned upside down.
“Shit, did you do it…”
Johnson knows why. He struggled to suppress his laughter and faced the golden sun.
“Is Lina there? Let’s compete with us.”
Gold Sun said to Johnson, wiping his lips. If he said he wouldn’t do it, it seemed like he wouldn’t mind violence. Johnson glanced at the female cadets in the room and nodded.
“Anytime, Of Course.”
