Do you guys see the matchup? There is a guy in real life who chose the nickname ‘Ada bomber’.
ID: DEMDEM3040
Reporters eagerly called out names such as Kim Joo-seong and Oh Min-young, but the moment I saw the name Ada Bomber, I was sure that this XX would win. Great bomber, turn all the Awoken who participated into Hudas.

Ada Bomber… ㅋ It’s extreme. You must have said that it was fun, right? XX with no concept like that has to be filtered out at the competition level, but isn’t a nickname a business card for Hunter? I wonder why you chose that nickname.
ㄴ ID: DDD444 : ㅇㅇ He wears the word Ada Bomber on his business card, and he seems to hate it a bit…
ㄴ ID: CAMELLIA030 : I’m a woman too, and I think there’s a story behind it.
Could it be that there are circumstances that cannot be said?
ㄴ ID: SOULKO123 : There’s something wrong with the Ada Bomber. XXX like XX.
ㄴ ID: FDZZ444 : ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
“The reaction is hot.”
Senior Yoojeong looked at her cell phone and said that. I also nodded, looking at my phone that was on fire. My friends were texting like crazy.
[Hey, are you really the Ada bomber on the bracket right now?]
[Toto, I beat you, so win. Understand?]
Haha]
“Iknow, right. The reaction is very hot.”
“My nickname. I think it’s cool. It reminds me of my uncle.”
Ichie encouraged me. I don’t know the content, but the tone was definitely encouraging.
“Is it so? Thank you?”
I remembered the face of her uncle Noboru and shrugged her shoulders. If it was a compliment, it was a compliment, but it didn’t feel very good. I said.
“By the way, it’s a really bigger tournament than I thought. I didn’t realize it when I heard that it would be on TV, but I didn’t expect it to get this much attention.”
“Anyway, it’s a regular event where talented people directly hit and fight. It is popular among maniacs as an eye candy event, and popular with guilds as an event where they can learn the basic physical skills of newcomers without testing.”
“I came to a really great event. I think I can feel it a little bit now.”
“Yes? Can you win?”
Senior Yoojeong raised a corner of her mouth subtly and asked a question. I met her eyes and smiled. Then he nodded her head and said.
“Of course.”
Every time I win one, all the losers will be temporarily called ‘Huda’, but that wasn’t my business. If you twist, you should have won. Ichie turned her head. We stopped our conversation and turned Ichie in the direction she turned her head. Someone was coming this way. It was a man in her suit and glasses, followed by several people in plaid shirts.
Her man in her suit saw me, bowed her head in greeting, and walked back slowly. Since there was still distance, we quickly talked to her face to face. Ichie asked.
“Who is that person?”
Senior Yoo-jeong frowned at her, and as if she thought of something, she smiled broadly and tapped the back of my hand.
“Right. That’s it! That! Interview! I’m here for an interview. Get dressed quickly. I interview the finalists once.”
“This is an interview?”
I think I’ve seen it once or twice while surfing the internet. Interviews with finalists. It was dumbfounded that I would be the main character. Ichie trimmed the collar of my shirt, and Yujeong sunbae smoothed out the wrinkles on my clothes by tapping them once in a while. For a moment, she felt like a celebrity. I cleared my throat, clearing her voice, and stiffening her face to keep from looking stupid. When I turned my head with a deep look, the man was startled and backed away.
He barely adjusted his glasses and said.
“Are you Mr. Jung Soo-hyeon from Ada Bomber?”
“Yes. I am Jung Soo-hyun from Ada Bomber.”
“Kheup!”
“Pooh!”
Behind me, Yu-Jung sunbaenim couldn’t hold back her laughter and banged her head on her table. The man behind the man in the suit also covered his mouth, turned his head and made strange noises. The man in front of me also nodded his head while his lips trembled.
Is the interview starting now? I kept my face as firm as possible and started thinking about what to say. First of all, would you be available for an interview? I guess? Then all I had to do was reply, “Please refrain from asking questions that are too personal.” Said the man.
“Yes, Mr. Suhyeon… That… We are from KSBC Public Broadcasting Station. This time, we got the right to broadcast the Rookie of the Year match. So, now…”
The man took one of her paper bags out of her pocket. I started to open the envelope to see the contents. The man said as I unfolded her paper.
“Please agree to send nickname mosaic.”
“Turn off… Turn off… !”
Senior Yoojeong was banging her head on the table and shaking her shoulders. For a moment, she felt like a celebrity, and I felt like a fool. The man began to explain in a calm tone.
“No matter how much this is the hunter’s nickname, they said that it couldn’t be broadcast because it’s a vulgar word according to social norms.”
“Ah yes. Of course you have to cooperate. Can I sign here?”
I went through the agreement once again before signing it. The content didn’t matter. “Ada Bomber” Jeong Su-hyeon agreed to have her nickname “XX Bomber” Or “Ada” Mosaic processed and sent out.
“Yes. Here and here Yes, and please write your name and date here, mentor?”
Senior Yoojung finally stopped laughing and returned to her usual mature self. The corners of her mouth were still shaking with the remnants of laughter. Below the consent form, there was also the mentor’s signature line. Senior Yujeong took her pen out of her bag and then she asked.
“Yes. Can I sign here?”
“Yes. Please.”
She finished her signature and nodded her head. The station clerk put her envelope in her pocket, bowed to us again, and disappeared. Ichie said.
“Aren’t you interviewing me?”
“I guess so.”
I was relieved to see the staff walking away.

“Damn. I didn’t think of this.”
The Diamond Club’s Hunter was scratching his head and showing annoyance. He was obviously leaking information to the news articles about [Kim Joo-seong], A promising prospect that the Diamond Club is paying attention to, but people’s attention was focused on Jung Soo-hyun.
[Who are the prospects that the diamond club is paying attention to?
This year, the season of the Rookie of the Year is back again. Who are the biggest guilds paying attention to? Today, for the first time, we asked for the opinion of the Diamond Club. Among the 16 contestants in the finals, who does the guild master Panseok Kim of the Diamond Club think will win?
“I think ‘3 vs. 500’ Kim Joo-seong is the most likely winner this time. First of all, when I watched the preliminary round videos, they were showing the most destructive and reckless side without regret. In particular, his ability to judge very calmly in a fight was excellent.”]

I saw it from the future, but the winner is King God Bomber, not Kim Joo-sung.

I’m a reporter. What we are curious about is the Hellchang or the Ada Bomber. Hurry up and follow the Ada bomber interview
The fact that not a single photo or interview came out was rather arousing even greater curiosity. The man became even more annoyed while reading the article as if to slam her face into the phone. She announced that her cell phone, which had been filled with articles, had a call. The words ‘Guild Master’ were written on the black screen. The man, whose hair was frozen just by looking at the letter, lowered his head and answered the phone.
“Ah yes. Oh, that’s because this is still in its infancy. Yes. Don’t you know that these guys have only big voices and no skills, boss? I’ve never seen a kid with a weird nickname and a decent talent. I’ve only seen him fight before, but he’s nothing special. I just came up because I was lucky. Ah yes. Oh, of course. Our Juseong, of course, will win.”
He folded his phone and looked at Kim Joo-sung. Kim Joo-seong was working hard in training today as well. It was a hitting drill that allowed him to focus on his own power. When he saw the man approaching, he put down his exercise equipment and picked up his water bottle.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Uh? No no no keep working out.”
He made Kim Joo-sung continue to exercise and took a cigarette out of his pocket. In the distance, Chunbae was eagerly running after buying drinks and bread. The man smoked a cigarette and said to Chunbae.
“Hey, it’s Chunbae. Don’t tell me to go fast, dude. Uh? I need to lose weight. My brother is running errands for you to exercise. Thank you?”
