In an arena without people, a man was moving alone . The man’s movements were well matched with the word ‘ambiguous . ’ It was unknown as to where he was going to move, and there were no rules . Nevertheless, it didn’t feel messy . Finally, the man stopped .

“I’m a bit used to it now . ”
It was Hyeonu appearing in the arena before his meeting with Dwayne . The reason for this was to practice the Mysterious Sky Steps . The arena was available in several settings, including one which eliminated the cooldown time of skills . Mysterious Sky Steps was a very unkind skill . It was ambiguous as it wasn’t a buff type, an immediate use skill, or a continuous type .
Mysterious Sky Steps modified the player’s movements for 10 seconds . However, it was up to the player to take advantage of it .
‘At first, I thought I got motion sickness . ’
Hyeonu’s first use of Mysterious Sky Steps was brief .
“I feel like throwing up . ”
He meant it literally . His entire body was full of strange feelings, and the movements couldn’t be properly controlled . It was like he was drunk . Still, this was temporary . It had been around 10 minutes now . Hyeonu became accustomed to the Mysterious Sky Steps . He also became confident .
‘This is a secret weapon . ’
Hyeonu had released more than one or two PvP videos . This meant he was already being analyzed . For such a Hyeonu, the Mysterious Sky Steps would be his trump card .
Hyeonu checked the time . It was close to his appointment with Dwayne .
‘It’s 5:20 . ’
His appointment with Dwayne was at 5:30 . It meant there were 10 minutes remaining .
“Shall I try something different?”
Hyeonu’s hands were busy as he summoned scarecrows at random locations within a 20-meter radius . He counted roughly, and the number seemed to be over 10 . This was the last test . It was to see if he could attack while maintaining these movements .
“Haat!”
Hyeonu moved his body . The target was the scarecrow in the most advanced position . While doing so, Hyeonu didn’t know there was a man watching this scene .
Dwayne had a strange obsession . It was that whenever a meeting was decided, he would arrive 10 minutes earlier . There was no reason for it . It was just a habit . Today, that obsession was still there . He arrived at the arena 10 minutes earlier than promised .
“OMG!”

It was a strange sight that welcomed Dwayne . Alley Leader was wrecking the scarecrows . If it were just this, Dwayne wouldn’t be so shocked . There were fresh movements, and Hyeonu’s fist aimed only at the vital points . One punch caused the scarecrow to burst like a balloon .
‘Do I have to learn that?’ Dwayne shook his head . He couldn’t show that type of movement . After all, he didn’t have the skills for it . Even if he did, he didn’t have the confidence . In an instant, all the scarecrows burst . It was a mess .
Dwayne walked between them and stood in front of Hyeonu .
“I can’t . I can’t do this!” He cried out resolutely . “It is impossible!”
Dwayne scratched his back . “I’m sorry . I misunderstood . ”
Hyeonu shook his hand at Dwayne’s apology . “No . I think it is natural to misunderstand . ”
‘I thought he wouldn’t arrive for a while . . . ’ Hyeonu looked at Dwayne again .
He thought this person was pleasant, but Dwayne was also humble .
‘Shouldn’t he normally be a bit late to the appointment?’
It was a widespread fact that celebrities weren’t punctual . Even if that wasn’t the case, it was the image . Why? If they weren’t late, then articles wouldn’t be written . If they were late, then there was an article . The average person only saw the articles . Thus, this image was bound to be solid . Hyeonu was no different .
“Did you practice what I taught you?” Hyeonu asked Dwayne . This time, Dwayne showed it with his body rather than speaking . He touched the settings and summoned a scarecrow . Then he fought hard .
‘This seems okay?’
“You’ve been practicing hard . . . ” Hyeonu nodded when he saw it . Dwayne’s movements were the exact opposite of the previous stream . His judgment was prudent, and his movements were sharp . Hyeonu had no idea it would be like this when he picked Dwayne, but now he thought he was very lucky . If he had picked and taught a person who was trying to sell their face, instead of someone passionate . . .
Hyeonu trembled . Just imagining it was terrible . ‘This content would probably be ruined . ’
At this moment, Dwayne succeeded in rushing the scarecrow with the sword . He started with Iron Mountain Attack and directly applied his skills .
Hyeonu saw this and raised his hand . “Stop!”
Dwayne stopped moving the moment Hyeonu yelled . Hyeonu approached Dwayne, who was breathing heavily . His face was filled with attention .
‘He is number one at working hard . ’

Hyeonu liked Dwayne . That was why he had answered kindly to the whispers that he received while hunting . Dwayne was diligent . It was bothersome at first, but it stopped being the case when he learned about Dwayne’s passion .
“It is rewarding . My first student has worked hard following my teachings . ”
“Then . . . ?” Dwayne wondered . He looked at Hyeonu like a dog hoping for praise .
Hyeonu chuckled at the look and brought up what Dwayne wanted . “Well done . It is impossible to imagine what you were like before . This is enough to win a bronze medal today . ”
“Thank you, Alley Leader . ” Dwayne smiled .
Hyeonu laughed when he saw it .
Rank 67,342,332—it was time to reduce this number .
“Then let’s get ready for the streaming . ”
“Hello, everyone . Alley Leader has arrived . As you know, we are going to stream like last time . I will be hosting the Alley Leader Academy . ”
The streaming began with Hyeonu’s smooth opening . Viewers were buzzing today . The viewers’ attention was currently on Dwayne .
-Is Dwayne a man now? He was a mess the other day .
-Despite getting the second class transfer and having unique items, he is only ranked number 67,342,332?
-Still, he has learned a bit from the streaming, so I’m sure he’ll do well .
-Let’s take a look at his skills today . Shouldn’t it work since he has been taught by Alley Leader?
Hyeonu frowned when he saw the chat window . Dwayne’s skills were poor, but that was before he met Hyeonu . Things were different now because he got taught by Hyeonu . Additionally, Dwayne had practiced hard . “Everyone, you’ll probably be surprised . Dwayne’s skills are amazing . I was really surprised to see them . ”
-Don’t be ridiculous .
-Just opening his mouth . . .
-It is the level of out of 100 words, three are true .

-Isn’t this bluffing?
-What can you teach that will make someone like Dwayne win a bronze medal? I will reserve popcorn today .
“Then I’ll make a bet . If Dwayne wins against an armed scarecrow, I will take next week off from streaming . It is also the most difficult mode! However, if Dwayne loses, I’ll stream four times next week . Call?” Hyeonu placed a gamble with the audience .
The source of his confidence was that Hyeonu had seen Dwayne’s skills with both of his eyes . He was good enough to not lose against the scarecrow .
-Call!
-Take the bet unconditionally!
-Next week, there will be a stream on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday . ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
-Four Streams Next Week has gifted you 444 gold coins .
-Four Times a Week has gifted you 444 gold coins .
The viewers happily accepted Hyeonu’s bet . This was an opportunity for unconditional access . The 67,342,332nd ranked Dwayne winning against the most challenging scarecrow . . . ? It was impossible . If he could win against the scarecrow of the highest difficulty, then he could easily get a bronze medal . Dwayne wouldn’t be able to win if he was 67,342,332nd ranked .
“I’m recording this . There is to be no whining after it ends . ”
Nevertheless, Hyeonu was proud . There was something he believed in . He believed in Dwayne’s skills .
-Yes, then drink kimchi soup .
-He probably drinks a lot for a South Korean . It is the level of a food fighter .
-Hurry up . I want to watch the streams next week . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅇㅇ . We will never let you back down .
Under his mask, Hyeonu’s face had a sneaky smile . He couldn’t resist smiling .
‘Next week, I’ll be in the Hejin Mountains . ’
“Then let’s call Dwayne out here . Dwayne, come out!!”
‘???’ Hyeonu felt perplexed when he saw Dwayne walking out . It wasn’t the usual Dwayne . Dwayne, who was normally full of confidence, seemed like a nervous coward . Hyeonu’s lips moved . It was almost to the level of ventriloquism .
“Dwayne, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid to be in front of people?”
Dwayne shook his head . It wasn’t that . This was just tension . So far, he never thought of fighting the scarecrow set at the highest difficulty .
“Can I beat the scarecrow? It is set at the highest difficulty . ”
“It is enough . Trust yourself, Dwayne . You’ve worked hard enough . Otherwise, trust me—Alley Leader . I am your teacher . ” Hyeonu massaged Dwayne’s shoulder . It was a service intended to relax him .
“Take a deep breath and relax . Moderate tension will reveal your skills, but excessive tension will ruin everything . ” Hyeonu tried to relax Dwayne to the very end . This wasn’t just Dwayne’s problem .
‘It will be hard for me if he loses . ’
Four streams a week—it wouldn’t be easy . He had grabbed the strings of the main scenario and didn’t want to do anything else .
“Everyone, my first student—Dwayne Evans!” Hyeonu hid the fire inside him and proceeded with the stream .
“Hello, I am Dwayne Evans . ”
-Quickly fight the scarecrow .
-Let me see your skills!
-Dwayne, just up . Wouldn’t it be good to see four streams next week?
-What do you want to do? Just lose . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Dwayne saw the chat window and felt a bit nervous . ‘Yes, I will win against the scarecrow with the highest difficulty . Just do what I have already been doing . ’
“Alley Leader, let’s start quickly . I’m ready . ”
Hyeonu sighed with relief when he saw Dwayne’s relaxed appearance . ‘He is back to normal . ’
“Then let’s get started . ” Hyeonu relaxed and adjusted the settings .
Now that Dwayne’s mentality had been recaptured, the bet was Hyeonu’s unconditional victory .
“Okay, it is the scarecrow with the highest difficulty . ”
Hyeonu’s summoned scarecrow didn’t match the name ‘scarecrow’ at all It was wearing a long sword and heavy armor . The items were level 100 unique items, and it was perfectly armed . What’s more, the built-in AI rating was of the highest level .
“Then let’s get started . Everyone, please cheer for Dwayne . ”
-Lose . Lose!!
-Defeat!
-We expect a loss!
-I don’t want to see a victory!
The viewers didn’t want Dwayne to win . They prayed for defeat . Even so, Dwayne smiled brightly . This type of interest . . .
It was routine for him . Dwayne stepped toward the scarecrow . The moment Dwayne stepped into the scarecrow’s range, the scarecrow moved .
