Chapter 56: 56
“Everyone! Hello! I am Alley Leader . This is the mystery masked show!! Masked Fighting King has started!!!” Hyeonu started with a more energetic voice than in his usual streams . He would also be part of the content of today’s show . In order to hide his tension, he put on a louder and more exaggerated voice .

-Is today finally Masked Fighting King?
-Can I ask who will appear?
-Will you tell me? Think of it as your usual life .
“Everyone, today’s lineup is a really big hit . A group that hasn’t been seen on another other broadcast will come out . ” Hyeonu’s guarantee received a lukewarm response from the viewers . Then they responded politely .
-Ah, he is starting again—the Bluffing Captain .
-Today, he is the Bluffing King . He is starting again .
-It is every day . He seems to always be bluffing .
Hyeonu felt wronged . He had never bluffed, and today’s cast was really famous, making him feel even more disgusted . “Those of you who say I’m bluffing will regret it later . These people are very big names . ”
-Yes, Pretentious King .
-Alley Leader, just lie down and kick off the blanket .
Hyeonu finally decided not to look at the chat window . The more he looked, the crazier he would feel .
“Then I’ll bring you to the Masked Fighting King candidates—the masked fighters . ”
The moment Hyeonu finished speaking, magic burst in the air . It was like watching a fireworks display . This was an Arenstyle special effect . Once the flames subsided, the majestic voice of the specially invited star rang out . It was a voice that everyone around the world recognized—the voice of the world’s leading actor, Andrea Palmares . “The first masked fighter flies like a butterfly and shoots like a bee! Bee’s Flight!!”
A man wearing a cute bee-shaped mask appeared . His armor, which had black and yellow stripes, stood out .
-Oh, does he usually wear those clothes?
-Don’t tell me? It is a person with Alley Leader’s fashion sense .
-It is so hard I can’t help being confused . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Ah, there are many words to be said about this armor . This armor was specifically made by Quency for a one-time use . The appearance of the player’s own armor was changed . Once Masked Fighting King is finished, it will be withdrawn immediately . ”
-Aha! Anybody who wears a traffic light like Alley Leader isn’t a man .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Then Alley Leader isn’t a man?
-No man . No fashion sense . No control .
If Hyeonu had seen the chat window, there would be plenty of content to make . However, Hyeonu was putting all his attention on the progress of Masked Fighting King . It was the staff from Nike who saw the chat window . The staff members looked at the public chat room and wrote down important questions on paper .

“Then let’s bring out the second masked fighter . ”
Once Hyeonu finished speaking, Palmares’ ringing voice was heard again, “There is nothing to be afraid of in the world when you have the power of a single fist . Two Fists Clenched Tightly!!!”
The second masked fighter wore only thin leather pants and no top . The leather pants weren’t ordinary tight pants . Instead, they were literally shaped like a wolf’s head . In short, they were ridiculous .
-Oh, this is crazy . ㅋㅋ
-Today’s fashion level is in line with Alley Leader’s .
-Nike deliberately dressed Alley Leader in formal clothes while dressing up the rest as a mess .
Conspiracy theories started to swirl among the viewers who saw the second masked fighter . It was a story where Nike deliberately dressed the participants strangely in order to recreate Hyeonu’s image .
“The third player! Ready! Give me strength! Medieval Black Knight!!!”
This time, it was okay . The third person came out wearing black armor . However, the armor seemed too big . The plates bumped into each other and made a clattering nose with every step .
-It is becoming more of a spectacle as time passes .
-Hya, is this a comedy show?
-It is a full-fledged fashion king selection contest .
“The fourth player!!! A contestant who is hungry-minded! Rocky’s reincarnation, Hungry Boxer!!!”
-Puhaha .
-Hey, what did he do wrong? Putting these type of clothes on him . . .
-Wow, Nike is really too much .
-Do they have no conscience?
Once Hungry Boxer appeared, the chat window was flooded with ridicule and sadness . Boxer’s appearance was pathetic . He had on a pair of torn pants, a frayed sleeveless shirt, and a pair of boxing shoes with worn-out heels . They were colored red, yellow, and green respectively like a traffic light . The traffic light had reappeared in Arena .
“Yes, it is very charming . It is a good representation of Hungry Boxer . Do you like your boxer’s outfit?” Hyeonu was interviewing Hungry Boxer . It was because he liked Hungry Boxer’s clothes very much .
Hungry Boxer replied, “Ah, I really wonder why I’m here . I’d like to go back in . ”
It was a modulated voice, but the listeners knew… This was his sincere heart . His words were 100% pure without any lies .
“Yes, I’m afraid it can’t be canceled . From the moment you signed your appearance contract, you have to participate in five matches . If you become the Masked Fighting King, we can see each other again at the next shoot . ”

“No!!!” A pathetic sigh emerged from Hungry Boxer .
Nevertheless, Hyeonu ignored it . ‘That’s why you should’ve picked it well . ’
“I hope the viewers don’t misunderstand . All these clothes were purely selected from a draw . We didn’t prepare it . They were custom made by Quency . Now, shall we go to the next player?”
At Hyeonu’s words, Palmares took over the baton and announced, “The fifth masked fighter!!! A South American dancer with a burning passion, the Samba Chu Mercenary!”
-Hey, this is really offensive to the eyes .
-At this point, didn’t the participants get the losing ticket?
-Are these people called rankers?
-It seems they have no luck . . .
The masked fighter appeared in a red see-through top and slacks that clearly showed the lines of his lower body . The viewers who saw the outfit were disgusted . The outfits weren’t done well . How on earth were these outfits created? It was unbelievable .
“The last masked fighter! Please clap for them . A collection of high-tech civilization, a myth of the future industry—Nano Machine Jackson!”
This was the finishing touch . The appearance of Nano Machine Jackson stood out among the masked fighters who had emerged so far . The green and black humanoid was suitably coordinated .
-Isn’t that a watermelon?
-An authentic watermelon robot has appeared .
-In the meantime, only Alley Leader is fashionable .
-This design is really . . . Alley Leader has bought Quency .
At this time, Nike’s staff raised a sign from a place that couldn’t be seen by the audience .
-Explain how this will proceed .
Hyeonu saw the sign and proceeded to obey . He was now smooth enough to be considered an MC . “From now on, we’ll take the time to pick the Fighting King in earnest . It is a simple fight . The first player, Bee’s Flight, please come out . ”
Hyeonu was standing in the middle of a huge sparring field . At Hyeonu’s call, Bee’s Flight came up to the center of the sparring field .
“The rules are simple . ”
[1 . If anyone wins five games, the masked fighter will become the king, and the shoot will end immediately .
2 . The first masked fighter to appear in the sparring field is the masked fighter whose order of entry is first .

3 . After one game, there will be a 10-minute break . (In the meantime, I’ll talk to the audience . )
4 . If there are no challengers in 30 seconds, the masked fighter on the sparring field will win by default . (They will earn one victory every 30 seconds . )
5 . The player who ascends to the position of Fighting King will compete with the challengers in the next round for the title of Fighting King . ]
“These five rules are it . Aren’t they simple?”
They were improvised rules, but Hyeonu thought they were overwhelmingly better than the previous ones . The new rules would touch on the pride between players and make them do their best . Whose idea was this? It was a brilliant idea .
‘Yes, I don’t know who thought of this . ’
It was Hyeonu who came up with this idea . He had been annoyed by Kale’s urging about the lack of broadcast time and came up with it .
‘Who knew that what I saw in the army would help here?’
Hyeonu’s idea wasn’t unique . It was a frequent feature in the ‘management’ novels he’d read to help him survive his last year in the army .
“The first challenger of Masked Fighting King! Who wants to challenge Bee’s Flight?” Andrea’s familiar voice rang out .
At Andrea’s words, someone came to the sparring field .
“I’ll challenge you . ” It was the man without a top, Two Fists Clenched Tightly .
-Then we won’t be able to see who it is until the end?
-I want to see it .
-Masked Fighting King’s audiovisual will be like this until the end .
Nike’s staff member, Amanda, saw the chat window and started to write something down on a sign in a hurry . Then she waved it .
-Give an explanation about the loser revealing their face .
Hyeonu was trying to progress quickly but stopped when he saw the sign that Amanda was shaking . He realized that he hadn’t explained about the identity reveal . “Oh, there is one thing I haven’t explained . Three losses . If someone loses three times, they will remove the mask immediately . Even if they don’t lose three matches, they will also immediately reveal their identity if they don’t become the Masked Fighting King,” Hyeonu explained with three raised fingers . “In the case of a default win, all players below the sparring field will receive one loss . However, masked fighters who have already won will be excluded . I apologize for missing the rule description due to my inexperience .
He apologized with a bow .
-Then when will it be three losses? It is still the same .
-Just look at the end .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You are writing like this when you’ll definitely start watching again .
“Then I’ll start the match straight away . The first match, Bee’s Flight against Two Fists Clenched Tightly has begun . ”
Once Hyeonu’s words were spoken, a message appeared in the air .
[Bee’s Flight VS Two Fists Clenched Tightly]
‘I will finish it soon . ’
Two Fists Clenched Tightly’s mind wasn’t on the match at all . He was already ready for the next shoot . So, he didn’t have time to play around .
“Hap!” White light burst out along with his cry . A fist full of divine power struck at Bee’s Flight’s sword .
“Brother, you need to hide your identity as much as possible . You’ll have to fight two or three times?” Gang Junggu’s advice had long disappeared from his mind .
Two Fists Clenched Tightly—Kim Seokjung—did his best from the start . In any case, he wasn’t the only Liru Monk among the rankers .
‘Bah, what’s the big deal? I have to win to meet my little brother . ’
Light emitted steadily from Kim Seokjung’s fist . It was an atmosphere that seemed like he wouldn’t lose his prey .
“Groan . ” Bee’s Flight—Ryan—tasted death . Contrary to the expectation of hiding their true identity, Two Fists Clenched Tightly was emitting power common for a monk .
‘It is that Kim Seokjung bastard . ’
However, this was a story for when monks were commonly present . Among those rumored to be participating on Masked Fighting King, there was only one monk . It was Kim Seokjung .
‘I think I will lose if this continues . ’
Ryan would either die or black out if he didn’t take action . There was no reason to hide his power when he would lose here . He had to win first and see . A yellow sword energy rose from Ryan’s sword . His sword energy took the shape of a cross . Grand Cross—the British pride and the pillar of Manchester—was Ryan’s patented move .
The powers of the two men clashed .
