Today we will start competing. I arrived early even though my order was still quite far away. Ji-Hae will be fighting in the 3rd place, so I will accompany him and will also watch his fight. He would only fight the berseker, as long as he could keep enough distance his opponent wouldn't be able to hit him with his skills.
In addition, Ji-Hae's ability to use daggers has improved, when we did a C-Rank portal raid he showed that he was stronger. Even though he still had trouble killing boss monsters, C-Rank boss monsters weren't easy monsters. From my own judgment I think Ji-Hae can reach the semi-finals. But I don't know if there is a strong hunter in his bracket.
Looks like it's about to start soon.
"Do your best Ji-Hae, I believe you can win!"
"Thank you hyungnim! I will do my best!"
The match started, but it ended sooner than I expected. The movement of the berseker was too slow and he relied solely on strength. Ji-Hae used his speed and attacked him from behind, dealing critical damage and winning straight away.
"Hyungnim! I did it!"
"As expected, you did it!"
It looks like Pyon Hee-Ra and Ryu Young Soo are also present today. Today's fight is only up to the last 16, and tomorrow will only start the top 8.
After 20 battles, it's finally my turn. I walked into the arena, and there were cheers everywhere. I was a little surprised to see this atmosphere, it's an amazing feeling.
Then my opponent also entered the arena in front of me, this arena looks wider than I thought. I don't think it will take long.
"Participants take positions!"
"The fight will start in 3.... 2.... 1.... GO!"
Then the spearman ran towards me, but his movement was too slow. I let him get close and launch an attack on me, I took a side step and kicked his body with my left foot. He was blown all the way to the end of the arena and was immediately declared defeated. I was a little surprised, even though I had restrained my strength.
"How unexpected! Participant Lee Won Myung puts on an amazing performance! He doesn't even use his gun!"
*cheers*
People cheered after seeing my fight just now. I think this is still a natural thing because this is still the early stages. I just had to wait about 30 more minutes before my next turn.
Looks like after this I'll be fighting a B-Rank hunter, with an assassin class. The class was quite strong because it was B-Rank, but they only relied on speed and shadow to hide. I mastered both so it won't be difficult either.
*cheers*
It seemed like a lot of people were cheering after seeing Chong Seong-Hun's fight. It was because many people believed that he would reach the final and win this competition. Of course I was sure that I would win this competition, but he would be an interesting opponent.
After a long wait it seems that there is no interesting fight here, and soon Ji-Hae will be fighting again. His opponent this time was someone with the hunter class. Seems like it's going to be a little difficult, since he'll be fighting people who use ranged weapons. But I'm sure Ji-Hae has a way of winning.
The battle has begun, it is very clear that the hunter immediately keeps his distance. He took a considerable distance and fired several arrows. He also used his skills, but Ji-Hae managed to dodge them all. Ji-Hae quickly threw the smoke bomb in his hand, he hid in the smoke.
The Hunter immediately shot arrows carelessly, but none of them hit Ji-Hae. Ji-Hae throws two more balls, and one of them is a bomb. The bomb exploded at the hunter, the hunter was forced to move away from the area. However Ji-Hae immediately came out of the smoke and chased after him, after which he attacked him.
The Hunter lost and he immediately gave up, and the winner was Ji-Hae. Instantly all the audience cheered for Ji-Hae's incredible victory, to be honest it was a very interesting fight.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I was summoned again for my second fight today. Like I said earlier I'm going to fight an assassin. He wielded two daggers, it seemed he was confident in his attack abilities.
We both entered the arena, the audience started cheering. The match started. The assassin quickly made a movement that was hard to see for the audience, but I could see it clearly even without the help of my black aura. He wanted to outwit me, he also tried to throw some poisoned knives but I parried them all.
After that he used his shadow ability and tried to attack me from behind. But I had read the movement, I dodged and I quickly tried to counterattack. I used my hand to punch him but he managed to dodge.
Looks like he has pretty quick reflexes, looks like I'll be using 50% of my power now. The assassin was moving fast again, but he was more careful now. He must have noticed that I could see his movements. The crowd was getting louder and louder, everyone was cheering. Then the Assassin throws the poison knife and using his shadow ability, he has 2 clones. He tried to use the trick, he attacked me from two directions. But I know which body is real, I use my right foot and spin, after that I kick the body on my left.
He was knocked to the end of the arena and immediately declared defeated from the fight. I managed to win again, and everyone in the audience was clamoring.
After that I go back to the waiting room, it will be a little boring at first. I had to quickly fight a strong opponent in order to use my abilities to the fullest.
After that there was one interesting fight, it wasn't the Chong Seong-Hun or Kyong Hyo-Rin fight. But it was a fight from a foreign hunter, he was a hunter from Brazil, Mauro Bueno. His fight from the start seemed to have caught the attention of many people. He defeated his enemy in just 1 move before his enemy even had a chance to move. And in the second match the opponent was a B-Rank hunter, but the hunter didn't even have time to move a single step.
Mauro Bueno, this guy seems to have the Gladiator class. A class with A-Rank growth, but currently he was still a B-Rank hunter. He's from the Killingpikes guild, for some reason his gaze bothers me a bit. He carries 3 different weapons, but in those two fights he only uses his fists.
He uses a skill I don't know about, and he can deliver blows from a considerable distance to his enemies. He's from the opposite bracket to me, and looks like Ji-Hae will meet him later. He beats his enemy mercilessly, even though there is a medical team here but there is no need to fight like that. Looks like this guy will be a little dangerous.
Then the other fights continued, to be honest I didn't really care about the other fights. The brazil earlier bothered me a bit, he seemed to have a strong killing intent.
Soon Ji-Hae will be fighting and as expected his opponent is Mauro Bueno.
"Ji-Hae, don't overdo it. Just do what you can."
"I understand hyungnim, then I will go first"
After that Ji-Hae entered the battle arena and I could see that Mauro Bueno was smiling there. He looks just having fun, I have a bad feeling.
"The match will start in 3... 2... 1... GO!"
Mauro Bueno launched his punch from afar, but Ji-Hae managed to dodge. Ji-Hae threw his small ball and it exploded in front of Mauro Bueno. But it didn't do any damage, Ji-Hae tried to use his arrow trap. But Mauro Bueno drew closer to Ji-Hae, he was seen pulling one of his weapons, a chain mace. He is seen turning his gun and he vigorously attacks Ji-Hae.
It seemed that Ji-Hae couldn't dodge the attack, the attack hit Ji-Hae's body right. He was blown away, the match should have been over. But Mauro Bueno launched another attack, and it hit Ji-Hae. I couldn't help myself, I tried to run to the arena but was stopped by the officers.
Mauro Bueno has also been stopped by other officials, and the match is considered over. Ji-Hae was taken by the medical team with his body covered in blood, and Mauro Bueno that person looked at me with a smile. I will kill that person! Damn it!
I couldn't contain my anger and suddenly a black aura surrounded my body, the officer who was trying to restrain me suddenly fell and was unconscious. I was very emotional, but suddenly Pyon Hee-Ra called my name.
"Hunter Lee Won Myung, calm down!"
Immediately I regained my senses and held back my anger. I'm not sure I could hold myself back like this if not for that, I hope to meet him in the final.
"Sorry"
"No problem, I understand your feelings. But I hope you can hold your anger in for now."
"Thanks for your concern, then I'll go first."
Then I left, leaving Pyon Hee-Ra as well as the other officers. I rushed to the medical room to see how Ji-Hae was doing.
