Chapter 377 – 377. Special Training (6)

A situation where the coaches and managers of three teams enter the room for a special meeting.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the practice room where all three teams were gathered.

“What is this atmosphere… Should I step out and float it?”
“Please… Sook-hee, stay still.”

Maybe everyone didn’t like the atmosphere of fiddling with their phones.
As if proving that the unspoken rule within Battle Angels, that if there is an accident, if you doubt either Heo Sook-hee or Ryu Seo-yoon, you will hit 95% of the time, the two girls quietly got up from their seats.

“I’m bored, but 1-to-1 mid-bread go-go?”
“And… Myself? Dare you go one-on-one with a top laner? About the spoon?”
“Spoon? After all, it’s not for nothing that they are called top recruits. Are you ignoring the one-deal that requires laning even 2-on-1 whenever you get a chance?”
“Come on right now. But even in a one-on-one match, if you use a spoon, the earthen pot will explode right away, right?”
“Yeah~ You can win with a spoon~”

Could it be because of the tension of the two girls running amok?
Before anyone knew it, players from Mad Tiger Gaming and Play the Game were also eyeing them.

And soon after, the two girls’ one-on-one mid-bread begins.

As for the physical, they were two girls who were second to none, so onlookers quickly gathered.

The character Ryu Seo-yoon chose was her trademark Artemis, and the character Heo Sook-hee chose was the titan Kronos.

“Kronos has won.”

Carrieman, who was watching the screen relayed on the monitor, muttered indifferently.
Beyond, Mad Tiger Gaming’s jungler, nodded her head and agreed.

“I don’t think the AD side has much knowledge about 1v1, right? When do you choose from 1v1 to increase AD? If you think about it for a bit, it’s a fact that you can know… “

It was a murmur filled with ridicule.
The one who responded to those words was Lee Ji-hye, the jungler of Battle Angels.

Jihye Lee looks at him with her cold face.
Thanks to that, Beyond flinched.
However, he had no intention of swallowing the words he had just said out of fear at the girl’s eyes.

In the meantime, the line battle was still going on on the monitor, but Lee Ji-hye didn’t watch their 1-on-1 match and approached Beyond and opened her mouth.

“Cancel that.”
“What do you mean?”
“You just ignored our team’s one deal.”

The atmosphere around it quickly became cold and frozen.
Neither Beyond nor Lee Ji-hye seemed willing to give up their positions.

Seeing this, Psychic snorted.

Battle Angels was a team headed by the man who stole her crush.
Even if it wasn’t, I was in a bad mood, so I thought it would be worth watching the fight continue like this.

“Stop.”

The first to stop their fight was Mad Tiger Gaming’s top laner, Carryman.
Jihye Lee’s carry man grabs her by the wrist and pulls her away.

“Oh… “

Forced by his brawn, she stumbled backwards.
But at that time, another hand grabbing Carrieman’s wrist.

“…What?”

Carrieman’s eyes shone fiercely.
The one holding his wrist was Kang Yul, the captain and top laner of the Battle Angels.

“Leave this.”

Carrieman seemed nonchalant, but spoke in a firm tone.
However, Kang Yul’s eyes also show that he doesn’t want to make any concessions.

Kang Yul opened his mouth in a blunt tone.

“If you put it first.”

‘This child… ‘

Emotions rising from her words.
He was even more angry because it was none other than Battle Woman who was holding his wrist as if to subdue it.

“On the fake subject… “

Thanks to that, the true feelings flowed out of his mouth involuntarily.
Then, this time, the attention of all players in Battle Angels was focused on him.
The cold expression of the girls.

Suddenly feeling ashamed at the faces that seemed to be reprimanding him, he added one more word.

“What if I don’t let go?”

Then, he uses the hand opposite Jihye Lee’s hand to hold Kangyul’s wrist.
It was enough to remove this little thing.

However, no matter how hard I tried to force her, her hands hardly opened.

Carrieman’s face is getting redder.
Even though he had never done strength training in his entire life, as a man he couldn’t shake off a girl’s arm?

“…Let go of this.”

Kang Yul speaks as if warning once again.
Carrie Man, she felt, could no longer be stubborn.

I couldn’t keep showing her not being able to shake off her opponent’s arm.

When she let go of Jihye Lee’s hand, Kang Yul released her hand and set him free.

Unexpectedly, Lee Ji-hye, who had been held for quite a while, checked her own arm.
Her arm was weakly bruised, probably because Carrie Man gave her strength to shake off the strong force.

The atmosphere becomes more and more chilly.

The players on both teams were glaring at each other, as if they didn’t want to give the slightest bit to each other.

In the meantime, the mid lane match between Heo Sook-hee and Ryu Seo-yoon was slowly running towards the end.
Ryu Seo-yoon continued his amazing kiting using his unique physical skills, but when Heo Sook-hee’s Cronus attacked by moving while minimizing damage, the difference in physical strength widened.

[BA Ryu: This is a scam!]
[BA GODOG : Huhuhuhu… Do you know how many times I’ve done mid-bread with the leader unnie? At least 1v10,000, should I be the best on the team?]
[BA Ryu: It’s shameful!]
[BA GODOG: I can’t help it even if I die!]

In the end, the line battle between the two girls ends with Heo Sook-hee’s victory.
However, when I finished the game and came out of the capsule, I couldn’t help but look surprised to see that a completely different atmosphere was unfolding.

“What… White sister, why is this atmosphere like this?”

Ryu Seo-yoon asked Baek Ha-yan, who was right next to him.
Instead of answering, White Baek smiled and muttered something.

“Cheeky guys… “

It was also a word that could not explain at all what had happened, but one thing was certain.
That an incident happened enough to upset Baek Ha-yan!

‘What the hell… ‘

It was at that timing that one side of the door opened and the managers and coaches of the three teams appeared.

Director Kim Jeong-soo’s voice sounded absurd.

“…Huh Suk-hee, is it you again?”
“It’s not me?!”

###

I don’t know what the hell happened that the players of the two teams are in a confrontation.
However, I felt that if this competitive spirit headed in a good direction, it would definitely help me grow.

At that moment, I met eyes with General Manager Park Seong-pil, who was looking at me.

“I don’t know what it is, but if we don’t like each other, we can compete in scrims, right?”
“I will.”

He seems to have had the same thoughts as me, so he decided to put the two teams into competition.
I next looked at Mesa Coach.

“We and Mad Tiger Gaming will have a scrim match first, so just wait.”
“Huh.”

She nodded her head obediently, perhaps noticing the subtle atmosphere flowing between the two teams.

After that, we started preparing for scrims.
Both teams enter the capsule with eyes full of poison.

“Kang Yul, what the hell is going on?”

I looked at Kang Yul who was left with Lee Ji-ah and asked.
Then Kang Yul answered in a moist voice.

“I had some trouble with Mad Tiger Gaming.”
“For what?”
“That was at first… “

After hearing her explanation, I nodded.
I don’t know anything else, but I think the players deserved to be angry because it was like touching Kang Yul’s wrath.
Of course, from Carrie Man’s point of view, it was a fact, and she must have thought that there was nothing she couldn’t say because she was a victim.

“I’m fine… The kids don’t seem to be like that.”

Kang Yul muttered in a voice that contained her subtle emotions.

I fully understood the feelings of our players.
What Carrie Man said was not the point, but the point was in her intention to laugh at Kang Yul.

###

[BA Ryu: Coach! What is our strongest combination?!]

Hwang Ji-yeon thought for a moment at Ryu Seo-yoon’s question.
I have tried all the combinations that I have been trying for a long time, and there are many combinations that have not bad results.

But among them, there was no combination to use today.

Hwang Ji-yeon asked them.

[BA Peace: You don’t want a simple victory, right?]

It was the same for Ryu Seo-yoon, but Hwang Ji-yeon was also in a state of listening to other players.
If possible, she also wanted to show her old players what they saw.

Han Yuna asked Hwang Ji-yeon.

[BA Luna : Is there a better combination than winning?]

At those words, Hwang Ji-yeon smiled slightly.
This is because it reminded me of a legendary saying that has been handed down in the game world since ancient times.

‘Don’t be obsessed with winning or losing. The game isn’t about winning. I’m saying that the other person is pissed off.’

And that was a common phrase for Arena as well.
Regardless of whether it pisses off allies or the other person, there was definitely a character that was interesting only for himself.

[BA Peace: But you can’t use it without any conditions.]

In my mind, I wanted to trick the opponent by inserting a bunch of those kinds of fun game picks, but this game was nominally a scrim.
They should play a game where they can practice with each other, but if they openly reveal their intention to tease the opponent, they will inevitably be criticized.
There would be nothing more embarrassing than losing even after choosing a fun game pick.

[BA Peace: You have to win unconditionally. Can you?]

At Hwang Ji-yeon’s question, the girls fell silent for a moment.
She was never because she was insecure.
Because it was natural to win in the first place!

[BA Ryu: Just trust us! No matter what combination you come up with, I will win!]

Hwang Bo Ji-yeon smiled heartily at Ryu Seo-yoon’s Dangdol Man’s way of speaking.

Ban-pick begins soon after.
Mad Tiger Gaming bans Battle Angels’ most picks, as they’ve played against scrims dozens of times so far.

On the other hand, the first character Hwang Ji-yeon banned was Aphrodite.

###

After Peace left her Mad Tiger Gaming, it was a coach using her identity as Spare who took over and supervised her strategy in place of her..
From the time when Director Peace was her coach, he was a contributor who helped her under her and set up her strategy together.

‘We’ll prove that we can do well even without seniors.’

When he made up his mind in his heart, he looked at the ban-pick window.
As I practiced with the Battle Angels constantly, I figured out all the characters they often use or are confident in.

The spare coach continued the ban pick without hesitation.
Soon after, it was the battle angels’ turn to ban.

‘Ruler… What strategy will you use to deal with us?’

Right before the game started, the battle coach was not in the friendly match lobby, only coach Hwang Bo was present.
In other words, it meant that all of her current ban picks were judged by her former senior, Hwang Ji-yeon.

Defeat her today and prove that her Mad Tiger Gaming is alive and well without her.
However, while looking at Pickchang with a determined heart, he made a puzzled expression at the van card that came up after a while.

Aphrodite, a character with no reason to ban, was cut for the first time.

‘What the hell are you up to… ‘
