Chapter 70 – 70. You Don’t Deserve to Be Her Master (1)

The second division league has come to an end.

As a result, the final ranking of the 2nd division was decided and the team advancing to the promotion stage was confirmed.

ACK Challengers League Spring Final Standings
1. Dragon Knights (DRK, Dragon Knights)
2. Hercules Blackforce (HC, Hercules Blackforce)
3. Nami Marines (NM, Nami Marines)
4. Dongkwang Anarchy (DKA)
5. Mad Lion Gaming (MLG)
6. Costume Play Cats (CPC)
7. Team Original Sin (OS, Team Original Sin)
8. Shooting Star (SS, Shooting Star)

1st place team, Dragon Knights, and 2nd place team, Hercules Blackforce, will play a promotion match against a team from the 1st division, while 7th place team, Original Scene, and 8th place team, Shooting Star, will play a promotion match against a team from the 3rd division. .

In the case of brackets, teams in the upper league point to teams in the lower league to decide.

That’s why, in the case of the 2nd division promotion match, the original scene, the 7th place team, had the right to point, and they used this to point out the 3rd division’s Battle Angels.

Then, naturally, the bracket for the 2nd division promotion match was decided.

Original Sin VS Battle Angels,
Shooting Star VS Neo Trance.

The match started about two weeks after the end of the second division, so all four teams had plenty of time to prepare.

Fans who enjoy arena esports seemed to be very disappointed.

[I am really looking forward to this promotion match.]
[I haven’t seen the 2nd division kids come up for the promotion match, so what do you expect?]
[I’m not talking about the first division promotion match. Before promotion to the 2nd Division.]
[I wondered how far Hyeji’s team would go, but it could really go to the 2nd division ;;]
[There is emotion in the game of Battle Angels.]

Because there was a team with rare star quality called Battle Angels, box office success was guaranteed.

There was already a lot of talk on the internet about the results of the promotion match.

It wasn’t just the fans who were interested in the promotion match.
All the media related to the arena would go over it at least once, and the 2nd division promotion match was receiving the most attention in history.

[The women’s team of fire, Battle Angels, challenge the 2nd division promotion match.]
[Do you know about the famous ‘Fighting Angels’ among gamers these days?]
[What is the truth about the 2nd division promotion match that has been confirmed as a box office hit?]
[The winning rate of the second division promotion match analyzed by a reporter who used to be an e-sports manager.]

The 2nd division promotion match that receives more attention than the 1st division promotion match!

Event officials were also in a state of emergency due to the burdensome interest.

‘I have to lead this atmosphere somehow!’
‘Let’s shoot the title video and get a good response!’

Of course, there were those who were skeptical among those involved.

‘It’s just a temporary interest because it’s a women’s team. It’s not even helpful for attracting actual audiences.’
‘What do you mean it’s not in the idol industry, but in a professional league, it’s a box office success based on looks?’
‘It looks like the needless attention is only adding to the work… Whoa, it should have passed without incident.’

However, an incident occurred that could blow away the negative gaze of those involved.
It was the day the participating teams gathered to film the title video for the promotion match.

A studio on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.

Teams participating in the promotion match arrived one by one, and finally the Battle Angels showed their faces.
Five girls who are receiving the attention of the people around them.
The officials who looked at them one by one had no choice but to be convinced.

‘At this level, it’s sure to be a box office success.’

###

“Are you Battle Angels?”
“Yes, that’s right. This is Kim Jung-soo, coach of the Battle Angels.”
“Nice to meet you. I am the head of the operations team at the Korean branch of Arena Korea.”

The man who was the team leader of the Korean branch of the league operation approached and held out his hand.
After shaking hands and shaking hands, they nodded.

“Take good care of me.”
“That’s me.”

It was a busy time, so the team leader just said hello and disappeared.

I worked diligently from the morning because of today’s schedule of filming promotional videos, intro videos, and title videos before the promotion.
Based on past experience, the odds of filming all day were very high, so I was thoroughly prepared to endure this hellish schedule.

‘It takes an hour or two to talk to league officials, players from other teams, and coaches. After all, I’ll be using my cell phone later.’

Fortunately, only four teams had to shoot.
When I was in the first division in the past, I had to shoot 8 teams each, so the waiting time doubled.

I led my team to the waiting room where the players and officials were waiting.

In fact, it was absurd to say that it was a ‘player waiting room’. It would be more appropriate to just say ‘a player waiting area’.
This is because it was just a space arbitrarily separated by installing a partition in the corner of the studio, which is a huge common space.

As we entered, the attention of the players waiting in advance was focused.

“Huh… “

I heard someone take a breath.
It was a bit frivolous, but it wasn’t incomprehensible.
Actually, as soon as our players came in, the atmosphere in the waiting room changed drastically.

The boat felt brighter than before and even felt the fragrant scent.

There were not just one or two girls, but five of them who would attract attention even if there was only one nearby, so the destructive power was great.

The number of players looking at their phones with their heads down for no reason increased. Even if you make eye contact with our players, you look like you have committed a sin.

The average age of players is from high school to early 20s.
It is a very harsh scene for them, who are just at an age when they have a strong sexual desire and are interested in dating.

For some reason, it was understandable to see a player standing in an awkward position or constantly changing his posture.

“Oh, hello.”

White Baek greeted them first.
She was pure and bright, and her sociability was good.
Even at a cursory glance, he was able to say hello first without giving in even in a situation where more than 20 people were giving him a burdensome look.

Could this be the material of an innate insignia?

The players who heard her greeting her also greeted her timidly.

“Oh, hello.”
“Yes… Hello..”

I and my teammates lined up in our seats to one side.

It was almost burdensome to see the players from the original scene sitting right next to me glancing at me, but it was ambiguous to say anything.

At that time, one of the arena officials called me.

“People from each team. Would you please come over for a minute at a time?”
“Yes.”

After telling the kids to take a break, I left for a while.

Hopefully nothing will happen in between.

###

The players’ waiting room after coach Kim Jeong-soo left.

Still, until the Battle Angels players arrived, the players who were talking and mingling with each other became completely silent.

It was for a simple reason.
Because the five girls sitting at the far back of them cared so much.

“Wisdom… Are you normally this quiet?”

Impatient Ryu Seo-yoon asked Lee Ji-hye.
Unlike Ryu Seo-yoon, who was completely frozen, Lee Ji-hye, who was sitting comfortably leaning on a chair with her legs crossed, spoke as if it was not a big deal.

“I’m not sure why you’re quiet? If you’re not sure, look in the mirror.”
“…Heh heh…”

Ryu Seo-yoon realized the meaning of those words and smiled.
For this reason, silence was always welcome too!

Still, as time passed, the players who had been frozen started talking one by one.
A little chatty atmosphere was formed, and the atmosphere naturally relaxed.

In the meantime, Lee Ji-hye casts her gaze on one person.

“… Hehe… “

Neo-trance players located the furthest away from the Battle Angels.
Neo-trance’s AD, Neto, sitting a little further away from them.

Lee Ji-hye, who happened to meet her eyes her, smiled lightly.

Then Neto turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and shook his head vigorously.
As if he is not guilty of anything.

‘I guess he hasn’t told anyone yet.’

Neto had a history of secretly stealing the affairs of coach Kim Jung-soo and Battle Angels players twice.
It was a fact that Lee Ji-hye found out as a result of interrogating her.

‘I didn’t know you’d seen what I did…’

One was with Ryu Seo-yoon and the other was with Lee Ji-hye.

Originally, it was she and her coach her who did something socially reprehensible, so Neto would n’t have noticed.
Rather, it is normal for Neto to find a weakness.

But it was a story under normal circumstances.
On the day Lee Ji-hye found out Neto’s phone number, he immediately made an appointment and threatened.

‘Do you know who our coach is?’
‘Who, who is it?’
‘Not… You probably wouldn’t even guess if I told you.’
‘What… Are you such a great person?’
‘I’ll just say that I’m a person who doesn’t have any problems walking around with several women.’

I felt that she wasn’t a woman worth talking about, but it was important to keep her mouth shut before any trouble arose.
First of all, Lee Ji-hye used coach Kim Jeong-soo’s notoriety to immobilize Neto.

‘I don’t tell the coach and do whatever I want… Because it’s self-employed.’

So who wants to fuck kids outdoors?

As expected, Neto was frightened by Lee Ji-hye’s meaningful words of his, and promised to bring the secrets he saw that day to the grave.

‘I’m giving this advice only to you, but it would be better not to make fun of your mouth anywhere. What… Even if they talk, it won’t be a problem.’
‘Yes… But are you okay? ..Aren’t you being threatened by the coach?’
‘Threat? No.’

Jihye Lee curled her fingers and showed them.

‘There is such a thing as falling. Why? Are you going to do it too?’
‘Ah, no, that’s enough!’

Anyway, judging by the look on Neto’s face his, he did n’t seem to have told anyone about the secret.
It also meant that the threat worked well.

‘Once the urgent fire was turned off… I’ll have to tell the coach soon.’

It’s up to her how she uses Neto in the future.

Lee Ji-hye smiled pleasantly as she thought of various futures.
If the male player sitting next to her hadn’t talked to her, she might have been able to enjoy a more pleasant imagination.

“Hello. My name is Rust, the jungler of the original scene. Are you Wisdom from Battle Angels?”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Whoops. Let’s do our best to make a good game.”

He was a pretty slick-looking guy.
