-Was the counter originally a skill like this?
-No . I would know because I have one . A skill isn’t being activated .
-Really . The conditions to trigger a counter are extremely tricky . If it were easy, then it would be as common as dogs and cows . There aren’t many people using it now though .
-So he isn’t using it but covering it up with his own control? The cooldown time can’t be that short .
For the viewers, Hyeonu’s battle was like an onion .
. . . Or perhaps Pandora’s Box?
There was no end to it . There were no snags and no limits . The more they watched, the more things they saw . It was as if he had been preparing for a long time . Thus, it was more wonderful .
-Still, please stop .
-Isn’t he going to surrender?
-There is no way since he is a silver medalist .
-No, I think he will quit the arena .
-Honestly, he is lucky this is the arena .
-The skill and personality are different . I am learning today as well .
The silver medal swordsman who matched with Hyeonu was miserable . The words ‘hollowed out’ could even be used to refer to him .
Like a high school girl riding on the disco pang pang [1], the swordsman couldn’t support himself and had to lie on the ground .
Hyeonu’s calculations were terrible . He always dealt enough damage so the opponent wouldn’t die . The swordsman smiled as the black sword pierced his chest and he was finally defeated . He couldn’t surrender because of his pride as a silver medalist . The result was that he was beaten, but he still didn’t surrender .
‘Yes, this is enough . This person is just too good . ’
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has won . ]
Hyeonu reappeared in the arena . His expression wasn’t visible due to the mask, but viewers could tell that he had on a smile like the one on the mask .
-Wicked, wicked .
-He is clearly a demon .
-As expected of Alley Leader .
‘I’ve been stressed . ’
Hyeonu streamed in a bright voice, “Did you see it? I didn’t use the skill because I don’t have it, but the basic principles are the same . Once the opponent’s attack comes, hit back at the right time . This is Arena’s counter skill . ”
Hyeonu summoned a scarecrow .

“We had a brief practice run before the stream . Let’s take a look . What are Choi Yoon’s current skills?”
Hyeonu quickly stepped back, and only Choi Yoon remained in the scarecrow’s perception . Recognizing Choi Yoon, the scarecrow swung its sword straight at Choi Yoon .
Choi Yoon stood still and watched the scarecrow’s sword . Then he moved the moment the scarecrow’s sword entered his perimeter . Choi Yoon was thrilled by the changed power of the counter . It was different from the counter he had practiced with Hyeonu, ‘Turning Over the Ground . ’ If he had been turning over the ground in the past, his current power was like digging at the ground with an excavator .
‘Is the difference between weapons so big?’
The scarecrow was turned over and knocked down . The problem was after that . The weapon had been upgraded, but that was all . His ability remained the same . Choi Yoon’s counters that didn’t receive the calibration of the skill were poor . He couldn’t get it right . He barely stopped the scarecrow’s attacks . He couldn’t even fight back . It was even more obvious because there was Hyeonu’s perfect demonstration just before .
-This is normal .
-Yes, this is a normal person .
-Well done . With that middle-aged physique . . . Yes . Just learn and do well .
-Have strength, strength!
Since the Dwarf’s Single-edged Sword was more powerful than the original weapon, the scarecrow disappeared after Turning Over the Ground was used twice more . The intermediate difficulty scarecrow was Choi Yoon’s limit .
“Everyone, did you see it? This is Choi Yoon’s current state . I will continue to teach him in this state . I aim to do an intermediate check in the next stream . After that, we will jump into the ranking battle . ”
-Then what is next week?
-There seems to be no answer this time .
-Can he really get a bronze medal with those specs? The bronze medal isn’t a joke .
-If Uncle Choi manages to get a bronze medal this time, then I really have to acknowledge it .
-I have already acknowledged it . If Alley Leader succeeds this time, I’ll need to send some gold coins and ask him to take me as his disciple .
The viewers were half anxious and half full of expectations . Following Dwayne, would Alley Leader be able to gain two consecutive bronze medals? Or would it fail? If it failed, how would he tolerate the storm?
“Then I will explain how to use the counter . ”
After that, Hyeonu’s heated lecture continued .
As always, the stream ended successfully . The viewers clamored for more, but Hyeonu hung up . He maintained a polite form . “Choi Yoon, if you have any questions, ask me at any time through a note or a whisper . You have to bother me . That way, you can be a proud father,” Hyeonu requested as he shook Choi Yoon’s hand .
Choi Yoon was different from Dwayne . No matter what, he had to do it unconditionally . Choi Yoon nodded at Hyeonu’s words . He felt that way during the stream today . Consequently, Choi Yoon planned to hunt harder and spend as much time as was permitted in the arena .
‘It is all possible because someone is supporting the cost of the surgery . ’
Once his thoughts reached here, he was once again thankful to the man in the child’s mask .
“Thank you . I wanted to say this again . ”
Choi Yoon disappeared afterward . He was probably going to his daughter Choi Jisu . Hyeonu was left alone and sat down on the ground .
‘A note has come . ’

The note he was waiting for had arrived . The sender was Sunny, and the note contained information about the rebel attacks .
“Now I just need to send this to Brother, and my work is over . ”
Hyeonu wrote a note with great sincerity and sent it to Gang Junggu .
[To Gang Junggu:
Brother, I finally got the correct information .
Two days later, you’ll see the rebels attack 10 castles simultaneously .
From Brigs to Gieti, these 10 places will be targeted .
The more ahead you are, the higher the expected rewards will be .
New World, Pioneer, Red Bull America—they must unconditionally be in charge of these three places .
Additionally, I’ll handle Brigs .
P . S . I hope to see you after this main scenario is over . ]
He wrote a lot, but the more important line was that he would handle Brigs on his own .
‘There are two days left . . . ’
“Shall I spend some time on quests?”
Hyeonu wanted to spend the two days doing some productive work, not meaningless hunting . It was why he picked the quests . Currently, Hyeonu had received two quests . One was a quest from Lebron .
[Duke Blake]

“Um . . . ”
Hyeonu struggled to pick between the two quests . He couldn’t choose a quest at all . Both rewards were good . It was hard to tell which one was superior . Duke Blake’s secret technique was obviously a skill while the keepsake could be an item or a skill . The problem was . . .
“There is no information . ”
Arena might not be friendly in this regard, but from the perspective of the community, it wasn’t to this extent . Even the most difficult quests provided some clues so they could be cleared . However, these quests . . . Hyeonu lowered his head involuntarily . If he had to choose one . . .
“Let’s go with Trail of the Previous Generation . ”
Hyeonu chose this with the hope that there was something written in the journal . He took out xxxx’s journal that had been placed in his inventory .
[The strong member of the Mysterious Sky Sect scolded one of its disciples for a mistake .
It was the same with me .
It is natural since the achievements of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art Lord are high enough to be called the best in the history of the Mysterious Sky Sect .
Then one day . . .
Something happening on the nameless mountain .
I ran into a mysterious force .
They were strong .
I, one of the top ten of the Mysterious Sky Sect, was driven to the brink of death .
(Omitted) .
I woke up from the crisis of death in a strange place .
It was a world of color .
I thought this was the West Continent on the other side of Heaven Mountain that I had only heard about in legends .
I put all my energy into recovering .
(Omitted) .
I arrived in the Balder Mountains .
Another name for the Balder Mountains is the Heaven Mountain .
If I cross this mountain, I can return to the Mysterious Sky Sect . ]
This was the end of xxxx’s journal .
A smile crossed Hyeonu’s face as he closed the journal .
“Good . ”
He felt sorry comparing it to finding Duke Blake when there was a clue to the quest in the journal .
‘By the way, where are the Balder Mountains?’
Hyeonu thought he should gather information on the Balder Mountains .
In the president’s office at Nike’s headquarters, an old man sat on a desk in a manner that didn’t match the image of a president at all . One hand was tapping the desk while the other held a smartphone .
“Jamie, what happened?”
-There is the video he sent . I sent it to your personal email . You can check it now .
The person on the other end of the line was Jamie Moore, the CEO of Nike Management . “No, I wanted to hear from you before that . Is this it? Will it be enough to find him a big and beautiful piece of shit?”
-It is enough . Based on his personality, he probably won’t be angry at you . However, I think that side will be rearranged from tomorrow . Hahaha .
Bill Knight hadn’t been so relaxed in a long time . Leading a huge enterprise always caused stress . It was a great opportunity to relieve such stress .
“Okay, let’s have a meal together soon . Jamie, we are both in the USA, but I don’t get to see you much . ”
-I understand . I’ll go to Beaverton .
Still, New York and Beaverton weren’t close at all . Bill Knight ended the conversation with Jamie, got off his desk, and sat in an old-fashioned chair . Then he watched the short video of Alley Leader that Jamie had sent him .
One blow . . .
The second blow . . .
The third blow . . .
Bill Knight finished watching the video and burst out laughing, “Puhaha! Lohan, I’ll give you your fill today . ”
He picked up his phone again and started making a call . “Lohan, how have you been?”
-Were you calling just to ask this? The other person responded in a chilly tone . It was uncertain if he didn’t like Bill Knight’s call or if that was his nature .
“I called because I received good news . ”
-Good news? What does that have to do with me?
“You should care . It is related to your company . Of course, you need to know . ” Bill Knight took his time to answer .
Lohan Dassler, the person who answered his call, started to become upset . -Just tell me what you meant .
“It is faster for you to see it in person than for me to tell you . I’ve already sent it to your email . ”
Lohan Dassler was silent at Bill Knight’s words . There was the sound of the mouse clicking .
“Did you see it? I will release this video at the next meeting . I can’t not share such a good thing . Lohan . . . ”
After a while, Lohan said in a cold tone, - . . . Stop it . This is our mistake .
“That is what I want . It isn’t your decision but I will stop for today . Uhaha!” Bill Knight’s laughter echoed through the president’s office .
