Choi Yoon’s daughter, Choi Jisu, was staring at her laptop on her bed in the hospital room . Her laptop was showing two men engaged in a fierce battle . There was a series of slashes! It was a battle that would make viewers sweat .
“Jisu? It’s time to prepare . . . ” The nurse usually in charge of Choi Jisu spoke to her . Now Choi Jisu had to prepare to be discharged . The time to depart for the airport was approaching .
“Wait a minute . It is an important moment . My father is fighting . I’ll watch for another 10 minutes,” Choi Jisu said to the nurse as her eyes remained fixed on her laptop .
She couldn’t believe that one of the men in the video was her dad . Just a week ago, he had been an ordinary South Korean player . Now he was fighting a thrilling battle that made people sweat . Choi Jisu’s thoughts on this didn’t last long because the nurse continued to call out to her .
“Didn’t you say that you’ll only watch for another 10 minutes? Get ready . Don’t you need to be prepared before your father comes?”
It was already the third time Choi Jisu had said this . There might be plenty of time, but it couldn’t be wasted on watching the video on her laptop . The distressed nurse approached Choi Jisu . Just then, there was the sound of knocking on the room’s door . Knock knock!
“Jisu? Your father’s here! Are you ready?”
Choi Yoon appeared after the stream ended .
“Father!!” Choi Jisu hadn’t moved despite the anxious nurse’s urging . Now she jumped out of bed and ran toward Choi Yoon .
‘Ugh . ’ Choi Yoon held back letting out a groan . Choi Jisu might be light, but she obviously weighed more than just a couple of kilograms . It was natural for him to groan when Choi Jisu threw herself at him . Choi Yoon examined the room . There was a neatly arranged travel bag and a pile of clothes that was probably for Choi Jisu to change into . The preparations were over .
“My daughter, do you want to change your clothes? Wear them quickly . We have to get on the plane . It is Father’s wish . ”
“Yes . By the way, what happened, Father? Did you get a bronze medal?” Choi Jisu might be pale, but her eyes were lively .
She stared at Choi Yoon with these eyes .
“Ah! That?” Choi Yoon smiled at his adorable daughter .
Another ranking battle ended . This time it was still Choi Yoon’s victory . It was close to a formula . He would defend and then subsequently use Turning Over the Ground . Until now, there hadn’t been any player who could withstand this pattern . Choi Yoon’s ranking was still too low .
“It’s okay,” Hyeonu muttered . Choi Yoon’s battle wasn’t as dynamic and glamorous as Dwayne’s style, but he had one great blow . As a result, Choi Yoon was cruising toward the bronze medal .
‘Then why do I feel so anxious?’
The journey to the bronze medal was going smoothly . If this continued, then Choi Yoon would win a bronze medal like Dwayne had done . It was just that a strange sense of anxiety filled Hyeonu’s mind .

-Wow, the uncle is great!
-How long will it be now until the bronze medal?
-What is his current ranking?
-Is it six consecutive victories?
The viewers didn’t know Hyeonu’s insecurities and were simply intrigued by Choi Yoon’s performance . They liked it . Choi Yoon was as ordinary as them, so they felt a surrogate satisfaction when they saw him winning .
‘Well, it isn’t a big deal . ’
Hyeonu streamed the show while ignoring his unrest .
“Choi Yoon, what is your ranking now?”
“Now it is around 83 million . I won five times in a row . So after the last match, I went up five million spots instantly . ”
Arena’s system analyzed Choi Yoon’s ranking battle and determined he wasn’t suitable for his current ranking . As a result, Choi Yoon was matched with a higher ranking player, and his ranking climbed a lot .
-Wow, five million at once .
-Crazy, crazy . Five million . . .
-I want to raise my ranking by five million as well .
-So he will get a bronze medal if he wins 15 more consecutive matches?
‘73 million . . . Wasn’t it 20 wins for Dwayne? It should be roughly around that many matches . ’
Hyeonu had started the ranking battle at a very low level, and due to the system, he played the ranking battle against quite high-level players . It was only after 100 consecutive victories that he could become a bronze medalist (9,999,999 to 1,000,000 ranking) .
However, Dwayne and Choi Yoon were different . Their ranking swelled every time they won because their level was already above the player’s average .
“Choi Yoon, continue the ranking battle . ”

Choi Yoon continued to fight the ranking battles . Four ranking battles led to four wins . The three battles ended as easily as the first one . He blocked the opponent’s attack and pierced the opponent’s vital spot . However, the last match didn’t end with just one or two attacks . It was a close fight where their weapons collided each time .
This allowed Choi Yoon and the others to realize something . It was that the opponents didn’t have lower specs than Choi Yoon anymore . Then there was the 11th ranking battle . If he won this, it would be 11 consecutive victories .
‘Huh?’ Choi Yoon had a strange expression when he saw his next opponent . The opponent was a knight, the most common class in the arena . The exception was that the opponent’s weapon was a big sword . ‘Based on what I can see, the player is mainly strength oriented . Avoid it and block thoroughly . ’
Choi Yoon was thinking ahead when the ranking battle began .
[The ranking battle has started . ]
‘I absolutely can’t block it head on . ’
Due to the nature of Arena, the attack power of a greatsword or broadsword wasn’t very strong . The shape could be placed in a capsule and converted, but that was it . However, the use of such a weapon showed how much the character had invested in the strength stat . The opposing knight’s sword moved toward Choi Yoon .
Choi Yoon was ready to move from the beginning . The moment the knight’s sword moved, Choi Yoon was no longer in the same location . The knight’s greatsword seemed to stick to the ground . Choi Yoon had predicted it and moved quickly .
‘Huh?’
However, he didn’t hear the sound he expected . There wasn’t the sound of metal striking the earth . Choi Yoon turned his head with a frown, and something cut through the air . It was the knight’s greatsword . Choi Yoon was frightened and raised the Dwarf’s Sword to block the opponent’s sword .
‘How?’
Choi Yoon couldn’t understand it . How did the opponent’s sword turn toward him? Just a few seconds before the greatsword hit the ground, the knight stepped forward with his left foot and turned his body . As a result, the greatsword that was headed toward the ground flew toward Choi Yoon .
‘Is this possible?’ Choi Yoon didn’t know the series of processes, but he knew one thing . No one who could do this type of thing would remain in this ranking stage .
‘Don’t tell me . . . ?’
“Damn,” Hyeonu cursed in a low voice that no one could hear .
‘A proxy knight was met again . ’
The proxy knights that others couldn’t meet had appeared for the second time in Alley Leader’s Academy . Moreover, it was at a critical moment . Choi Yoon’s momentum was at its peak after 10 consecutive victories . It was clear that if he continued his winning streak while maintaining his current momentum, he would be able to win a bronze medal . Yet now . . .

Unfortunately, he met a proxy knight . It was impossible for players who could make such movements to stay in the 50 million section . After all, it was the psychology of normal people to show off when they had skills . Even if they didn’t brag to anyone and kept it a secret, their ranking would still rise .
“You must’ve seen that movement . He absolutely isn’t a local . It is clearly a proxy knight . ” Hyeonu sighed .
The viewers who normally teased Hyeonu or opposed Hyeonu’s words agreed with his opinion .
-Is that a ranking similar to mine? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-When did the level of a deep-sea player rise so high?
-He must be enjoying Arena in the inner core, not the deep sea, right?
-Usually at this ranking, the player’s weapon would be stuck in the ground and then they would be hit in the back . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is too absurd .
This acrobatic movement was literally outrageous . The audience watching the ranking battle knew it best . It was impossible .
-The uncle needs to implement justice like Dwayne .
-Dwayne was able to make up for his lack of skill with items . It isn’t possible for the uncle .
-Uh . . . I’m sorry to see the uncle lose .
-Uncle, have strength! Crush the proxy knight!
“Fortunately, there is a chance of winning . He can target his opponent’s carelessness . It is the pride of the proxy knight . Choi Yoon will win if he targets this . ”
Choi Yoon should aim for the other side’s negligence . It was negligence based on the pride of a player who shouldn’t be in this ranking . If this existed, then Choi Yoon had real hope .
‘Please have a personality problem . . . ’ Hyeonu prayed earnestly .
Choi Yoon was pushed back while blocking the opponent’s sword . He managed to fend off the attack in a manner that seemed precarious .
‘Still, it is better than I thought . ’
Choi Yoon’s constant opponents had been the scarecrow and Alley Leader . The current opponent’s skills and specs were good, but they didn’t reach Hyeonu’s average level set for the bronze medal section . In other words, it meant there was more room for leisure than when Choi Yoon had been practicing .
‘There is only one chance . ’
Choi Yoon kept defending and occasionally used a counter while hiding Turning Over the Ground . He left it as his secret weapon .
[Turning Over the Ground]
[Counterattack the opponent’s attack with a momentum to overturn the ground .
Type: Immediately Activated
Rating: Rare
Skill Proficiency: D-

‘The equipment is poor compared to his skills,’ Choi Yoon analyzed soberly . Choi Yoon had studied the equipment representing every level ever since Hyeonu started teaching him . The equipment worn by the opposing proxy knight was similar to his own . He didn’t know the exact information of the weapon, but it was assumed to be unique rated . The various armor equipment were either common or uncommon . If the combo of Turning Over the Ground and Heavy Blow hit properly, then the opponent could be killed in one breath .
‘It is a disgusting defensive . ’ Han Jaeyeol, the knight opposing Choi Yoon, frowned .
This was an order from the team’s director, Yoon Hyeongu of Big Stars, but he was full of dissatisfaction .
‘What bullshit about my skills increasing? It is more like regressing . ’
Han Jaeyeol’s goal was to make a prominent debut in PvP of the professional league and move to another team .
‘Yet I have to be a proxy knight?’
However, Han Jaeyeol knew the reason why Yoon Hyeongu had him acting as a proxy knight . It couldn’t be helped . If Yoon Hyeongu didn’t do this, then Han Jaeyeol might be kicked out of the team .
‘How many assignments are there today?’
Han Jaeyeol stopped paying attention to Choi Yoon . His mind was full of the rankings he had to achieve today . Han Jaeyeol swung his greatsword like before . The sword moved quickly and aimed at Choi Yoon’s head . At this moment, light started to gather at Choi Yoon’s sword .
