Episode 61
"Look at this? Hey, kid. "Why don't you say it again?"
Kwon Kang-hyuk asked for the bait Tae-hyun threw.
"Guild leader. Don't forget why you came here. calm down."
The secretary who came with him tried to stop him, but there was no way he, who was known to be hot-tempered, would listen.
"Step back, Secretary Kim. "If I step back from here, it will be a disgrace to our entire guild."
"I didn't mean to."
"You're noisy, kid."
When Kwon Kang-hyuk growled, Tae-hyun just shrugged his shoulders.
'Kim Tae-hyun player. I knew you had no hesitation in your actions, but you provoked the guild leader. 'Do I have one more life?'
Secretary Kim, who followed Kwon Kang-hyuk in case he got into an accident, shook his head.
Even within New Korea, there were only about three people who could stop Kwon Kang-hyuk, who lost his temper once.
One of them is Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, and the other two are currently in Abyss.
So for now.
She had to take responsibility and control Kwon Kang-hyuk somehow.
"Guild leader. Let's listen to what player Kim Tae-hyun has to say until the end. Please think about the warning you received from the Human Rights Commission last time. "If you receive another warning, you will be banned from entering the Abyss for the time being."
Kwon Kang-hyuk, who had been fierce as an animal, calmed down a little at Secretary Kim's rapid-fire words.
Entry into the Abyss is prohibited.
I was thinking of the next expedition that was being prepared at this very moment.
"This got me excited again. Wow. "It's been a while since I've seen such a bold provocation."
"Whoa… It would be a provocation even for the guild leader. We apologize for causing trouble to player Taehyun Kim. As you can see, the guild leader has a very fiery personality... ."
"it's okay. I made a mistake too. No matter how confident you are, you must have a heart to be considerate of the weak."
Wow.
Clink. Clink.
Kwasik. Kwazijic.
Taehyun's house shook from the sudden release of magic and the sound of it breaking here and there was heard.
It was natural that the barrier specially installed by the association was broken.
'oh my god. What is this guy really going to do!!'
Secretary Kim was shocked and took a step back without realizing it.
She was recognized for her office skills and was appointed as Kwon Kang-hyuk's secretary.
For her, who only had a B-grade player license, the rampage of Kwon Kang-hyuk, an S-grade player, was nothing short of a disaster.
I just hope that Taehyun, who provokes people like this even after knowing the rumors about Kwon Kanghyuk, has the power to do so.
"Hey kid. Song. Can you take responsibility for what you just said? "You're stronger."
"If you are thinking of fighting, I refuse. "I hate fruitless fights."
"Kkkkkk… Hahaha!!!
Kwon Kang-hyuk burst out laughing at Tae-hyeon's calm answer.
He is the guild leader of Onsaemi and ranks 3rd in the New Korea Player Rankings.
Is it because of his innate strength and unruly personality?
Even S-rank players have lived a life where they are accustomed to giving up in front of them.
A macho who has never bowed his head before anyone in his life.
That was Kwon Kang-hyuk.
"It's a fruitless fight… good!! "You have to have that level of spirit!!"
"What if?"
Taehyun threw the bait once again.
"I propose a bet. On the condition that if I win, I will join our guild. If there's anything you want, tell me. "I promise to put my position as guild leader on the line."
Kwon Kang-hyuk took the bait without any doubt.
"That's what you want… Well, it won't be too late to say that after we win."
Quick.
"Secretary Kim. Tell the facility management team to leave an empty sparring room. "Set the barrier to the highest setting."
Kwon Kang-hyuk was so excited that he could commit murder with his eyes.
I think it's fortunate that nothing happened here.
Secretary Kim nodded weakly.
"Whoa… All right. "I will contact you now."
"bantling. Just know that a man doesn't say two things with the same mouth."
Not a threat from Kwon Kang-hyuk, but a threat.
"I seem to have unintentionally made you aware of the superior-subordinate relationship. "As a healthy male from the new Korea."
Taehyun said, trying hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.
* * *
Murmur.
"You've accumulated a lot in that short time."
Taehyun said as he got out of the car and entered the guild building.
At the guild entrance, reporters who had already heard the news were pressing their shutters.
"Hahaha. In a little while, the rookie that Shinhankook is paying attention to will become a member of our guild. "If he doesn't want to make dark history, he can quietly admit defeat now."
It was Kwon Kang-hyuk, who had calmed down his excitement to some extent while riding in the car.
Although he was relaxed enough to make the guild building tremble, Taehyun was no slouch either.
"I'm fine, but I'm worried about the guild leader's image. "If the person who is said to be the best tanker in New Korea breaks up, the public will be shocked."
"He really is a guy with a great sense of humor. "Let's see."
Kwon Kang-hyuk raised his fist and smiled like an animal.
This is because he has not missed a single player since he brought him this far.
'Hehe. Taehyun Kim. This cute guy. Still, since we're working together, I won't make you end up in the hospital.'
'He's such a simple man. Compared to Yoo Ah-young, I feel like a muscle idiot.'
While the two men were thinking differently, reporters surrounded them.
It was a number reminiscent of an official press conference of the association.
"Guild leader. "Is it true that you scouted player Kim Tae-hyun?"
"Are you forcing me to join this time too?"
"I understand you received a warning from a human rights organization."
"Everyone be loud! "Why are you saying so many things when you just invited me?!!"
"Guild leader… I tried to hide my words in front of reporters... ."
Secretary Kim sighed and said at Kwon Kang-hyuk's attitude.
I really think he's a man who doesn't know how to live his life.
"How can it be said that these people are trying to hide their words? "If you're going to talk nonsense, tell them to get out of the guild building right away."
Meanwhile, as many questions were being asked of Taehyun as the shouting Kwon Kanghyuk.
No, in fact, he was receiving more spotlight than Kwon Kang-hyuk, who started arguing with reporters.
'There are so many reporters.'
Although I knew that there were people waiting in front of the dungeon every time and that I was receiving attention through social media.
It was my first time being driven to this level.
'Well, if it's natural, then it's natural.'
Not only was it not enough to become the twelfth S-rank player in New Korea, he also conquered dungeons alone.
Although the order has changed, he recently conquered a double dungeon with an S+ rating and even sparked rumors of an affair with Yoo Ah-young.
The public and reporters cannot help but be amazed.
In addition, although it is not officially known, there is also a charm stat that every star player has.
It was natural for reporters with good sense to sense star quality in Taehyun.
Reporters held up their microphones and started asking absurd questions.
"Player Kim Tae-hyun. Is it true that you can join the guild as Onsaemi?"
"We are currently ranked 15th in the New Korea rankings. Are your recent actions related to the Asian Player Friendly?"
"Is it true that you enjoyed a secret meeting in the dungeon with Nightwalker Yoo Ah-young, the guild leader?"
Taehyun sighed inwardly as he watched the reporters pouring in endlessly.
'It's annoying.'
It's not like making them quiet by releasing magic power.
Looking at Kwon Kang-hyuk fighting with reporters next to him, shouting loudly, it didn't seem like that was the right answer either.
'Should I hire a secretary too?'
At that time, I saw a familiar face among the reporters.
Reporter Kim, who had interviewed Taehyun, was found in front of the player license testing center.
Taehyun approached reporter Kim, who was being pushed around among the crowd, and held out his hand.
"Reporter Kim. "It's been a while since I saw you."
"uh? Ah yes? Oh, it's been a while. "Player Kim Tae-hyun."
In the past, Taehyun's status had risen to an incomparable level compared to the past, so reporter Kim used the honorific title.
Taehyun smiled brightly, looking at him as usual.
And after naturally shaking his hand, he looked around at the reporters around him and said,
"sorry. As you know, I have a schedule scheduled with Guild Master Kwon Kang-hyeok, so it will be difficult to answer everyone here. "We will reschedule it later."
With those words, Taehyun quickly entered the building.
OK.
"uh? "But who is reporter Kim?"
"Hey. "What is your relationship with player Kim Tae-hyun?"
"Where do you belong?"
To the barrage of questions.
Reporter Kim, who was left behind, just looked embarrassed.
* * *
A sparring hall set up within the Onsaemiro guild.
At the invitation table, a man was pressing the shutter button of a large camera.
It was Ayoung disguised with a wig, beard, and glasses.
'Kwon Kang-hyuk. Did you spend some money on the facilities?'
Ayoung whistled softly at the magic felt from the sparring hall's barrier.
Unlike Night Walker, who has no special need to unleash his power.
This was because Onsaemi had built a barrier that could withstand the power of top S-class players for training reminiscent of actual battles.
'Kwon Kang-hyuk. If that bear-like guy is your opponent, Taehyun will have to use the power you've seen.'
Even if she uses her skills excessively, it is difficult to guarantee victory.
Ayoung was confident that this time she would be able to see Taehyeon's full strength.
The identity of the unpleasant sound I heard while losing consciousness in the double dungeon.
'By the way, Taehyun is that guy. I think he has become more handsome in the meantime. Has there been a charm stat?
Ayoung also had a charm stat close to 50, so she knew it intuitively.
An aura like that doesn't happen just because you're strong.
'I'll have to ask next time.'
Of course, she didn't think that number would exceed 100.
* * *
[From now on, we will begin the 120th 'Long Live Talent' duel hosted by the Onsaemiro Guild. Usually, one side would admit defeat. to… This time, we changed the rules a little because the two participants are among the top S-rank players in New Korea. Whoever touches the floor with his back first or kneels on both knees will lose.]
Taehyun smiled at the host's words coming through the speaker.
"I knew the guild leader liked recruiting talent. "I didn't know you would add such an interesting rule."
"Hehehe. You have to be sure which side is up. "You're not going to abstain now, are you?"
"That can't be right."
Taehyun answered calmly, making eye contact with Kwon Kanghyuk, who was asking the question while shaking his bear-like body.
He is hot-tempered, has a strong competitive spirit, and likes to bet.
To put this another way:
'There is a lot of room for simple ignorance.'
A man ranked 3rd in the New Korea rankings and called the strongest tank.
Even though I don't plan on using Predation against him.
Taehyun's expression was full of composure.
"The game begins~!!!"
"I will give up the lead."
Sure enough, Kwon Kang-hyuk, who wanted to show off his overwhelming strength in front of reporters, bluffed.
This was also something Taehyun had expected.
"Then I won't hesitate."
Tiring.
[The Knight King's spirit (B) has been activated. Specifies the opponent.]
The skill 'Knight King's Awesomeness' has grown to the point where it can crush even S-class monsters.
Kugugugung.
"Kneel down."
That enormous force began to weigh down Kwon Kang-hyuk.
