Chapter 258 – 258. Escape (1)

Mad Tiger Gaming took the win.
However, the players couldn’t be happier.

There was nothing to mention because the first set was a hot victory, but the second set was because it was appropriate to say that they barely won.

Back…

Carrie Man clasped her hands as she entered the interview.
The final scene of the second set passed through my head.

A desperate moment that can only be seen as having risked the soul.
In order to win, the senses of the whole body were sharpened, and the feeling of joy burst out from the whole body as he finally destroyed the opponent.

You said you were this serious against the Battle Angels, who had just risen from the 2nd division?
Even his opponent was one of the retirees who had been in the 2nd and 3rd divisions for 4 years.

“Whoa… “

He sighed deeply and grabbed the mic when a question came to him.

“Carryman players! You showed a really good play today! How do you feel?”

Impression?
Carrie Man squeezed his heart, which almost made him curse.

It honestly felt like shit.
The fact that I was barely caught by these guys.

“It’s really good. I think it’s even more so because we won hard.”
“You danced happily in the last Ragnarok! The dance of joy was very impressive. How does it feel to experience Ragnarok in person?”

The announcer’s question reminded me of Battle Woman who was left alone in Ragnarok.

The game was already over with their victory, but they continued to struggle and try to inflict a little more damage.

He involuntarily fixed the expression on his face.
He obviously danced with joy, but he was never happy.

A giant goblin fighting with a magic bat. Her yaksha-like eyes at that time were still vivid in her memory.
He danced to overcome his fear, like a man who sings to overcome his fear.

To make sure he never made it known he was scared.

“Ragnarok is fun. I want to experience it again next time.”

He stared blankly at the camera while making a comment he didn’t even mean.
He was obviously good at fighting, and he felt pleasure in risky situations.
However, he couldn’t enjoy the fact that the being he thought was just a worm was threatening him before he knew it.

Meanwhile, while the interview was going on for a while, she came out to the terrace for a while to calm her mind, as Beyond, who had not been selected as MVP.

It was a game where she felt the limits of her own skills.
The potential of the opponents, who were no different from those seen in the World Championship, showed that they could no longer be dismissed as super rookies.

‘Fuck… It’s never going to happen to me that I’m going to retire.’

He cursed inwardly and instinctively took out a cigarette from his bosom.
As she is about to light a fire by holding her bonfire in her mouth, the back of a woman in her corner catches her eye.

Her appearance, standing still like a stone statue with her straight black hair waving, was somehow familiar.

Beyond, who came close to her.
And he witnesses a scene where the world in midwinter seems to be slowly collapsing.

A pure white winter that was cold and merciless to anyone.
However, the starkly blue sky shattered like a sheet of glass, revealing her true self.

Beyond she involuntarily held her breath as she slowly admired her side profile.

It was Wisdom, the jungler of Battle Angels.
Taking off her glasses, which she usually wears, she was shedding fine tears while being blown by the cold wind.

“Pretty… “

Unknowingly, praise for the sight comes out of your mouth.
It was a very natural reaction, such as salivating at the sight of delicious food and exclamations of exclamation at the vastness of nature.

Did you hear his murmur?
Wisdom turned his head to look at him.

Beyond tried to organize her words in her mouth, but when she met those eyes, she said nothing, so she gave up.
In the end, Wisdom’s mouth opens first.

“Who… ?”

It was a bit of a shocking question.
Beyond trembled her lips, then she said stupidly.

“That… I’m a Mad Tiger jungler… “
“Ah… “

She briefly nodded her head as if she knew.
And she casts her eyes blankly back to the sky.

How should I comfort her?

Surprisingly, he thought so.
Perhaps if the other had been weeping, she would have thought of laughing next to him.

“Don’t be too upset.”
“…”

He comforted her with what he thought was her sweetest voice.

“I will do better next time.”

However, her response afterward was a bit short and cold.

“Quiet.”
“…”

She spent time by her side, with Beyond shutting her mouth like a dog that listened to her.
She remains immersed in her delusion that she has said some pretty nice things.

As we engaged in a very fierce battle with Mad Tiger Gaming, interest in our gaming team soared to the point where it couldn’t be any more.
Although it was defeated in the end, the fact that it showed Ragnarok for the first time in the league, the fact that it showed a twist in the twists and turns for an hour, and the fact that the two most popular teams in the league played a match, etc.

On the contrary, the atmosphere in our team was very hopeless.
Although there was an effect of losing the game, the loss of confidence was even greater.

Players have felt the wall many times while playing so far, but this time the intensity was extraordinary.

The opponent was Mad Tiger Gaming, the runner-up team of last year’s World Championship and called the 1st emperor of ACK.
It is understandable how many teams and players have faced this team and felt the wall without even trying.

Still, the level of self-confidence was not a big problem right now.
As always, I was confident that in the end our skills would improve and we would be able to beat them.

Therefore, the real problem had to be seen as Heo Sook-hee, who was upset that he had not been appointed.

In fact, it was a certain result from a long time ago.

Currently, Heo Sook-hee’s obedience is only 50.
Except for Lee Ji-ah, all the players were imprinted beyond 100 obedience, but she still only fulfilled her half obedience.

In contrast, the intensity of selling was the highest among the players.
In addition to the genital expansion play that can be considered quite sadistic, he even competed for the starting position with Kang Yul.

It was thanks to him that she was able to rise to this level, which was only at the level of the 3rd division, but due to her side effects, she could not help but feel dislike for her team and develop a rebellious spirit.

As soon as he arrived at her dorm, Heo Sook-hee quickly went back to her room.

The rest of the players are all in their seats, looking at me.

From school life to work life, idol groups, and even professional gaming teams.
In any group that lives in conflict with people, there is bound to be friction between people.

Of course, the game team was no exception.
There have been controversial feuds with countless teams in pro league history for quite some time.

It’s the pro’s reason to get angry when you lose a game.
In a 5v5 game, you naturally blame others and you have to raise your voice once, so it can be said that it is a daily occurrence that quarrels occur.

I heard that there is a team that fights every single day.
Of course, despite this, the team is sometimes called as having strong teamfights, so it seems that quarrels are not all that bad.

Anyway, I gathered the players and put a bluff.

“Heo Sook-hee’s behavior today is very wrong.”

The players shook their heads.
It’s not the fault of not playing the game.

Of course, that was a mistake, but if there was a bigger mistake than that.

“We are a team and a family, so it’s okay if you lock yourself in your room because you’re not feeling well.”

Still, she was willing to forgive her.

“I’ll talk about it well, so let’s disband at this point for today. Think carefully about today’s match.”
“Yes.”

I left the players who answered briefly and headed to Heo Sook-hee’s room.

###

She briefly looked back on her own professional life.

Starting from AD, I changed my position to mid and top, and I went up from the 3rd division team to the 1st division.

Starting from an insignificant team, he now belongs to Battle Angels, which can be called the most popular team in Korea.

‘But… Is it time to leave now?’

Everything was going well
Although they lost to Mad Tiger Gaming today, won’t the original win or loss be a sick fight?

If you think about when you were in the 3rd tier, you could say that a game like this against Mad Tiger Gaming turned the world upside down.
The results alone were satisfactory enough.

But at some point, a doubt began to settle in her mind.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to lead a more normal professional life now?’

Obviously, if I had stayed with the Neo-Trance team, I would have never dreamed of being in the first division like now.

I knew better than anyone that all this luck was because I joined the Battle Angels, or to be precise, because I met the battle coach, but it was hard to fully approve of the training method.

I couldn’t breathe properly at the dorm because I was paying attention to him, and my heart was filled with fear of what kind of punishment would await me if I made a mistake or did something wrong.

What is the severity of the punishment?
Not only did he demand complete obedience, he did not mind giving humiliating punishments in front of many people.

Heo Sook-hee laughed at her as she raised the corners of her mouth.
Looking back on those days, she thought it was time for her to leave.

Didn’t she think that she would leave the team at any time as long as she improved her skills in the past?

Smart dog.

Just then, there was a knock on her door.

I could only guess who it was.

‘I’m about to leave, so they’re holding me back.’

I felt a sense of relief and cynical thoughts.
I must have needed it.
Only then will I be sure to repay the insults I have suffered so far.

She opened the door and looked at the man standing outside.
And as if she was determined, she said in a firm voice.

“I… I will do it here.”
