Chapter 253 – 253. For Vengeance (1)

“Can’t you go?”

One winter day in January.
Snow was falling from the sky, and the temperature had fallen below zero, so even the breath was freezing.

A boy’s unrequited love is slowly coming to an end under a street lamp in a quiet alleyway.

Hwang Bo Ji-yeon, who had just resigned from her managerial position at Mad Tiger Gaming and became a regular person, turned around at the voice calling her name.

A boy with a childish face was standing there, looking at him.
Even in the cold weather, his expression that he would never back down showed his determination.

Hwang Ji-yeon slowly approached him with her characteristic expressionless face.
It was the first time in her life.
To see the boy showing such a desperate expression to her was what she saw.

“…Why?”

She was trying to figure out what to say to the little boy, and finally she gave a short answer.
However, the boy took one step closer.

“…You’re going to Battle hyung, right? Do not go. We must win this time. With us.”
“…”

Is that really true?
The young boy’s heart was so tender and naive that he could see the truth without even trying to look.

Since when?
I thought so for a moment, but since I had already fallen in love once, the exact timing didn’t matter.

How much can you sacrifice for that love?
At least that was what mattered to her.

“Winning can happen anywhere. The team I go to will win soon.”

So, she said calmly.

She was a woman who already had more lovers than she could count on one hand, but she wanted to be with a man who wanted more.
I didn’t want to be moved by the pure confession of a boy who seemed innocent now.

However, the problem was that the boy also had no intention of giving up.

He took one more step.
And he puts on a determined face.

She shook her head slowly.

“No, you are thinking wrongly.”
“No, you’re misunderstanding the director. Do you know who you are going to be? Besides, to step down as director of Mad Tiger Gaming. No matter how you think about it, it is a wrong decision.”
“It’s a bad judgment, and that’s up to me… “
“Come to me.”
“…”

In the end, the thing I was trying to avoid happened.

Hwang Ji-yeon looked directly at his face.
If you ask why she was able to rise to her top spot, it could be said that she converted her original one-deal battle into a support and brought in a psychic.

The world’s best one-dealer that she only discovered and raised.

Her pride and pride were so strong that she was the kind of person that no one would treat her carelessly, but perhaps because she grew up in her hands, she never rebelled against her.

Hwangbo Jiyeon put her hands deep into her pockets.

“I can’t do that.”
“…Why… “

The answer that followed was a brief refusal.
Psychic made a puzzled expression.

“What am I missing?”

I couldn’t understand it at all.
Haven’t you tried so hard up until now?

Like her habit every time, she says that it is a sin for pro gamers to not be able to play games, and for her sake, who had only hoped for her victory, she worked harder than anyone else.

And didn’t she actually prove that it was right to be with her by bringing her championships and runners-up?
But why on earth would he abandon the team he had dedicated years to and leave?

“I knew that too.”

Hwangbo Jiyeon slowly raised her hand and she brushed off the snowflakes that had settled on her head before she knew it.
A low-tempo voice came from her mouth, carried through the cold air.

“I really thought there was nothing left for me to do but win.”

She has abandoned all of her past colleagues who have guided her into the world of professional gaming.
Since then, she has been running only towards victory, not giving affection to anyone.
It felt like it was the only recompense for the pain I had suffered so far.

But.

“When she saw him, she felt her heart beat again.”
“…”
She said, “Not players from the first division, nor semi-professionals who went through a trainee life, she came up here with only players she believed in.”
“Yeah, that’s the same for us!”

The part that Psychic wants to emphasize is ‘a player he believes in’.
Hwang Ji-yeon seemed to have a slightly different idea.

“I’m also going to pursue romance now… Let’s meet in the finals.”
“…”

A kick between her mouth shut and not saying anything.

Her words to support her reached her throat, but she swallowed them down.

It wasn’t intentional that she seduced him, but she did, in fact, confess and, in effect, he refused.
Say goodbye with nice words to make your heart feel better, and don’t do anything that leaves you with regrets.

“Then I’ll go.”

Hwang Ji-yeon turned around again.
Take her steps now and she will never come back to Mad Tiger Gaming again.

But then, a psychic voice came from behind her.

“…I haven’t given up yet.”
“…”
“I’ll wait. Climb to the top I will prove you wrong.”

It was reassuring to see that she rather displayed a spirited side.
Hwangbo Jiyeon smiled lightly and waved her hand behind her.

And after a while, the psychic who was left alone closed his eyes for a while and then woke up.
After harvesting her heart, what remained was her anger and vengeance.

“Battle… “

It may not have been an act done with malice, but in the end, it was stealing his popularity, honor, and even women.

With his fists clenched, he was no longer an innocent boy.
There was a vengeful ghost waiting only for the day of vengeance.

###

“Come out quickly!”
“Haam… I’m sleepy… “
“Don’t sleep in the bathroom!”

It was lunchtime like a war.
The cause was that I couldn’t arrange a proper accommodation in a short time, so I installed a bed in the office and stayed overnight.

Thanks to the lack of toilets and the unorganized environment, there were a series of laughable happenings.

“That’s what I took out to wear!”
“These are my clothes, what are you talking about?”
“Is rice just a bento? Wouldn’t it be better to have it delivered? ?”
“Someone wake Ryu Seo-yoon! Is this the person who always complains of insomnia the day before the competition?”

Hwang Ji-yeon, who appeared late, made an absurd expression.

I have to leave for the stadium right away, but what is this all about?

“No way… Are you still not ready?”
“Well, whatever you see.”
“Ha… “

She puts her hand on her head, sighs deeply, and looks at her players with a frustrated expression.
Would this be the situation in a house raising seven sisters?
She didn’t even dare to guess where to start touching her.

Eventually she asked me again.

“…How do I do this?”
“It’s simpler than you think.”

However, unlike the distraught Hwang Ji-yeon, I was not at all comfortable.
On the surface, it was a daily life of wild girls, but even among them, there were rules that were considered inviolable.

I called Kang Yul with hand gestures.
Then, as she approached, she told her to briefly sort out her situation.

“All right.”

Kang Yul nodded her head and turned to the children.
Kang Yul’s one-day speech continued for a while.
Children become quiet in an instant.

Surprised, Hwang Ji-yeon whispered softly.

“It seems Kang Yul has more charisma than I thought. Seeing the players listen well.”

I nodded her head slightly.
He usually doesn’t look charismatic, but at night he’s completely different.
The children couldn’t help but listen.

###

The day of the finale has finally arrived.

It wasn’t playing the World Championship final, nor against a team that had been called rivals for so long, but it was more important to him than ever.

‘I’ll tell you who the true winner is.’

Psychic licked his lips slowly as he made his way to the stage.
The bitter taste is palpable, and the feeling that has fallen to the worst level is reduced to the abyss below.

The immense popularity they enjoyed as the ACK’s top team was fading away in the face of the fact that they were the first women’s team to enter the top division.

In addition to that, the older woman he unrequitedly loved as his mental support,
The salary he receives as the best player in Korea,
Even the honor of being called Se-Choi-Won and becoming a role model for many amateurs.

They are all caught up.

He bit his lip and looked around.
The best team members made by coach Hwangbo were there.

Carrieman, the original version of Carriewoman from Battle Angels.
The pinnacle of intelligent junglers born in Korea, Beyond.
A young blood, Major, newly joined from the Mad Lion Academy.
Psychic, himself who has maintained his position as Sechewon for several years.
And if it’s a utility, it’s a utility, if it’s an inish type, inish, and it’s an all-around supporter kid who can see through all the joker picks.

I turn my head and look at the other team’s booth.

There stood the man he hated so much.

The Battle Angels’ coach, no, the man who became the manager now, was Battle.
He is talking about what he enjoys to the players around him with a faint smile on his face.

And after a while, ‘she’ finally appears.
Hwang Ji-yeon, former manager of Mad Tiger Gaming and current coach of Battle Angels.

Due to her contract, she was not allowed to participate until this match, so it seems that she came up to show her face for a while.

Psychic clenched his fists tightly.

I will do my best in this game.
He will show the best game he can play, and he will literally give up catfish.

So she can look back at herself, not Mad Tiger Gaming.
