Chapter 94: 94
Dwayne was fortunate . His items thwarted the opponent’s sword strike . Although Dwayne’s clothes looked like a light cloth, it was actually a unique item with great defense .

‘Phew, I need to take a breath . ’ Dwayne chose to take deep breaths . He wondered if he had been too relaxed due to his winning streak . It was an irregular attack, but it was nothing compared to sparring with Alley Leader .
“Haap!” Dwayne screamed . Simultaneously, he kicked off from the ground . The viewers who saw it clicked their tongues . It was the indiscriminate charge that Hyeonu had stressed not to do during the last stream .
-There is no answer .
-As expected, he returned to how he used to be .
-Alley Leader will stream next week .
-Everyone, Alley Leader is in the middle of trembling . Please be quiet .
However, contrary to the reaction of the viewers, Hyeonu nodded .
‘Do what I’ve taught you . ’
Not long ago, Dwayne had asked Hyeonu, -What if I meet an opponent I’m unlikely to win against in the arena?
‘Then I told him this . ’
“Use your killing move . ”
Hyeonu’s eyes shone as he watched Dwayne’s ranking battle .
Nakamura, a longsword warrior, smiled as he watched the big martial artist rush toward him .
‘Stupid guy . ’
This was the problem fighters had in the ranking matches . They had no thoughts except to charge forward and see .
“That’s why you’re stuck here . ” Nakamura gripped his longsword . Then he aimed his sword at Dwayne, the fighter running toward him .
Dwayne punched the flying sword energy . His gloves were a unique item and he had a variety of passive skills, so his fists were very strong . Dwayne smashed the sword energy with his fists . Of course, Dwayne received damage, but this was an acceptable price for smashing the sword energy .
Nakamura tried to swing his sword again, but Dwayne had disappeared . This was Seombo . The missing Dwayne reappeared right in Nakamura’s blind spot . It was an exquisite use of skills .
‘Linked Seven Strikes!’ Dwayne’s fists instantly turned into seven . Nakamura only discovered Dwayne when the seven fists were right before his eyes .
“Shit,” Nakamura cursed and raised his sword .
He formed sword energy around his sword and barely blocked Dwayne’s fists with difficulty . The powerful force from Dwayne shook the sword and almost caused Nakamura to drop it . Dwayne’s fists were strong .
‘He is too close . ’ Glancing at Dwayne who was less than two meters away from him, Nakamura thought he had to widen the distance between them . Nakamura swung his sword to do just that . It was a threat, but Dwayne didn’t back down . Instead, he charged toward Nakamura .
He was using his killing weapon . “Haaap!”

As he watched Dwayne’s ranking battle, Hyeonu felt anxious .
‘I told him, but . . . ’
Knowing it was different from putting it into practice . In particular, once a person encountered a superior opponent, they might panic and be unable to show their true skills .
‘I have to believe in what I taught him . ’
The only thing Hyeonu could do right now was pray .
“Please let Dwayne win . ”
The audience was also praying at this moment . In some ways, they were more desperate than Hyeonu .
-Please let Dwayne lose .
-Please!!
-Lose, lose!!
-Proxy knight, have strength!
-If Dwayne wins here, there will be no stream next week or the week after .
Thus, they were even more desperate . At that moment, Dwayne yelled, “Haaap!”
It was really loud and an unbelievable shout for a man .
‘That’s it! I’ve won now!’ The uneasiness Hyeonu felt disappeared after hearing this sound .
Dwayne’s skill was Lion’s Roar . It was a type of Fear type skill and a killing move . Presently, the skill proficiency was low and could only cause abnormal conditions at a short distance . The opposing warrior’s movements stopped momentarily . Dwayne’s fist slammed right into the warrior’s face . A barrage of blows soon followed .
Dwayne’s fists, elbows, knees, and so on attacked the warrior’s entire body . The finishing move was Iron Mountain Attack! The warrior was hit by Dwayne’s shoulder and could no longer stand up .
[Player ‘Dwayne Evans’ has won . ]
Dwayne Evans had won . Hyeonu had won too .

Hyeonu ran toward Dwayne Evans and hugged him . “Thank you . Really . ”
Dwayne was bewildered . He didn’t know why Alley Leader was acting like this to him . It was he who should be thanking Alley Leader .
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m more grateful . You are the reason I could get 10 consecutive wins . I never thought a day would come when I would win 10 consecutive matches . . . ”
Hyeonu praised Dwayne’s battle . Dwayne fought a battle worthy of the nickname of ‘number 1’ . He showed everything he was taught .
“You fought well . I was proud of everything . It was exactly what I taught . ”
-Eventually, he is bragging about himself .
-Taking pride in the victory .
-When will this habit be fixed?
-This can’t be fixed for a lifetime . Keep up the good work .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I admit it . He is a proud and pretentious person—our captain .
“Everyone, the next stream will be Monday in three weeks . Don’t fool yourself . There is no need to come in vain . ” Hyeonu slammed a dagger into the viewers who were making fun of him .
Of course, he didn’t want to rest this week .
‘I’ll take a break on Monday and then . . . ’
“Let’s continue to enjoy Dwayne’s bronze medal challenge . ”
10 consecutive wins . . .
15 consecutive wins . . .
Moreover, once he won 10 consecutive victories, Dwayne’s ranking changed from eight digits to seven digits . A bronze medal . . .
It wasn’t a rating set by Arena, but it was a rating that everyone recognized . Dwayne won a bronze medal .
“You worked really hard, Dwayne . ” Hyeonu reached out to Dwayne, who finished his 19th ranking match with a victory . Now the stream with Dwayne was over .
“Thank you so much . ” Dwayne was crying . Emotions swelled up inside him . He hadn’t known he could win in the Arena or win a bronze medal . The impossible had turned into the possible . Everything was due to his encounter with Alley Leader .
A few moments later, Dwayne calmed down and quietly vented his feelings over the last few days to the viewers . “I think that meeting with Alley Leader was the best opportunity of my Arena life . It is just as great as when I met my manager, Jennifer, in reality . ”
It was amazing . For Dwayne, Jennifer was a manager, a dear lover, and a strong guardian . Now he said that Alley Leader (Hyeonu) played this role in Arena .
“I don’t know how long this Alley Leader Academy will continue . If I have anything to say, it is to apply unconditionally . Your Arena life will truly become different . ”
-Really . It is advice that comes from experience .

-You can say that . His ranking has gone up by nearly 60 million .
-If he recruits from the general public, then I must apply .
-Then when is Nike going to act?
The viewers who listened to Dwayne agreed . It wasn’t go-stop nor was he a medicine seller . This was obviously true . The witnesses were the viewers themselves .
“Everyone, I will end the streaming here today . Dwayne got the bronze medal he was aiming for . ”
-Yep, see you on Monday .
-See you on Monday .
-Bye bye .
-Next time~~
The viewers said goodbye as usual as if nothing had happened . However, it was impossible for Hyeonu not to notice .
“Yes, I’ll see you the following Monday . ”
-Ah, he noticed .
-Pretend you don’t know .
-Ah, really . . .
-He has a good memory .
“Then I’ll see you at that time! Bbeong!”
“Phew, this is refreshing!”
Hyeonu successfully finished the production of Alley Leader’s first student and immediately ordered fried chicken . There was also Coke with the chicken .
“Hey, you really weren’t hiding Dwayne’s skills? How did he get a bronze medal in just a few days?” Yeongchan wondered as he picked up a chicken leg . He couldn’t understand it .
‘How did Dwayne get better so quickly?’
Yeongchan himself had a silver medal, showing he was ranked within the top 100,000 . He knew the fierceness of the arena, which was why he couldn’t make sense of Dwayne’s meteoric rise .
“Outstanding talent, proper items, and the best teacher—it can be seen as the result of this trinity . ”
“What?”
Hyeonu took a big bite of a chicken leg .
‘I was prepared to stream one or two more times . ’
However, Dwayne did really well . Alley Leader Academy was also successful . Now all that remained was to choose the second student . Before that, he had to do other things .
“That’s right . Did I tell you about the main scenario?”
Yeongchan questioned, “What’s the main scenario? Isn’t the fourth round over?”
He was shaking his head like he couldn’t understand Hyeonu’s words . The main scenario was already over, and one of the protagonists had been Hyeonu .
“Are you crazy? Don’t you remember it?” Yeongchan reached out his index finger to poke Hyeonu in the head .
“I got the fifth one . It is also a shared one . I don’t know which guild did it, but they set up a meal right in front of me . ” Hyeonu grabbed Yeongchan’s finger like he was going to break it . Then he lowered it .
“Kek, what? Let go of me first . You broke into the fifth scenario? And you’re sharing it? Me? With me?!!!”
“You don’t meet the conditions . I was worried about it . ”
“What am I lacking?” Yeongchan expressed his displeasure . It was natural . His best friend was doing the main scenario . Yeongchan would understand if Hyeonu had to do it alone . However, he had already solved enough quests .
“Can you throw away your guild? Or are you confident you won’t be stepped on?”
“That . . . I don’t have confidence . ” Yeongchan felt depressed hearing Hyeonu’s words .
“You alone are good enough . You don’t need to be intimidated . The problem is your personality . You can’t throw away your guild . ”
‘Just like you have never forsaken me . ’
“Wait a bit . It will burst open eventually, and the dogs and cows will come running soon . At that time, you can enter . ”
“Patrick! What the hell is going on?” Marco, Mano’s guild leader, was furious .
The fifth main scenario quest he had believed they could monopolize had been snatched from right in front of him . It was seized from a distance that could be obtained just by Marco stretching out his hand .
“It was taken? Is it over?! Bring those jerks over right away! Bring the miner jerks!”
Marco’s anger was understandable . The amount of money he had poured into the miners was astronomical . Of course, he had enough income for it, but it was like the money had flown away in the air .
“Do you know how much money I’ve spent on those incompetent bastards? You should know better, Patrick . So bring them to me . Bring them before I kill them!!”
Despite Marco’s continued anger, Patrick simply remained silent . The moment he brought the miners here, they would die immediately . They might even die in reality . It wasn’t until Marco’s anger subsided that Patrick opened his mouth to speak . “I’m sorry . I didn’t know it would be taken away when it has reached this point . I take responsibility for all of it . ”
“It is like this . Who… Who intercepted it? Which guild? New World? Or a professional gaming group?” Marco asked for the culprit who stole the main scenario after finding his sense of reason .
“The fifth main scenario opener is . . . ”
“The opener?”
“It is presumed to be Alley Leader . ”
“What? Who?” Marco once again asked for the unbelievable fact .
However, Patrick came up with the same answer . “Alley Leader . It is Alley Leader . ”
