Chapter 45 Part 1: Duel
『Before the tournament begins, we’ll have a special showdown! If you’d like to watch, please take your seats and tune in to..』
“I’ve been waiting for this day.”
Kim Ju-il was carrying his twin swords again today. I thought he had switched to using only one sword in the dungeon, but it seems that he hasn’t given up his pretense.
“Hmph… I’ll beat you, and they’ll regret it when they realize my true worth…”
“Hmm. Bullshit.”
『Countdown Starts! 5.. 4.. 3..』
I put my finger on the trigger of my Noir.
『2..』
I’ve been ignoring Kim Ju-il all this time. I’ve been ignoring him because no matter how much he talks, it means nothing in the world of Hunters where skill is everything. 『1… Deng, Deng Start!』
And as soon as the sound rang out, he lunged for me. He must have thought that it was best to keep a close distance from me, who was a ranged dealer.
‘Too bad.’
I can cover short distances too, and I blocked his swinging blade with the barrel of my gun. He frowns slightly, as if he didn’t see it coming.
“I’m a dual wielder!”
He immediately swung the other sword, the one that wasn’t blocked. It’s aimed at my side, and the momentum is very fierce. I take a light step, focusing on the spot where the gun and knife collided.
Boom, I immediately saw Kim Ju-il’s face, which is colored with embarrassment as his body turns upside down.
Thud. In a blink of an eye, I was already on his back, with a gun pointed at the back of his head. I could end it like this, but… that wouldn’t be fun.
“Huh!”
Instead of his life, I snatched the hilt of the sword he held in his left hand.
“What are you doing!”
“You’re wasting your sword, why are you even carrying two of them when you can’t even handle one.”
“What…!”
I may not be a swordsman, but I can swing a blade. Clang! Clang! The swords immediately clashed. Kim Ju-il was pushing hard, but he wasn’t difficult to deal with.
“Why, why…! Why don’t you use a gun!”
The hand holding the gun was playing idly. If I could just point it at his temple, I’d win.
“You’re playing with me!”
“Do you get it now?”
It was a mild taunt.
“Ugh!”
An agitated opponent wants to feed a strong attack, and his motion was immediately magnified. And Without a sound– Swish. The sword immediately dangles in front of his Adam’s apple.
“I win.”
I declare quietly.
“From now on, if you’re not sure about something, keep your mouth shut.”
It was the last piece of advice I could give him.
『Ah! The match is decided! With the victory of one of our trainees, the duel is over!』
I dropped the sword in front of his eyes. The hilt and blade made a sharp sound.
“Well used.”
It’s not mine, so I’ll give it back. I walked out, leaving a stunned Kim Ju-il behind.
『This is the highlight of the day! A showdown between the First Placer and the 2nd Placer! Ooohhhh! Damn. How did this happen? Many guilds have been watching closely, haven’t they? The great rookie Gunner, Han Seo-ha! Showed great skills in the duel earlier!』
As the words introducing me rang out, a light shone in my direction. For a moment, my vision immediately flashed white and it blurred. I frowned at the intense light that pierced my eyeballs.
『And a high reputation as a rising star in the Blue Serpent! The Genius Magician Lee Eun-Woo!』
After Lee Eun-Woo’s introduction, the lights turned to the other side. No. Was the training center highlight showdown supposed to be this spectacular?
I’d been to the training center before my regression, but it was right after the gate, so I didn’t remember much about it.
『The Competition will begin soon!』
‘It’s annoying to feel like a monkey in a zoo, but I had Noir in hand. PvP was also my specialty. Lee Eun-Woo and I are both ranged dealers, so we seemingly have the same weaknesses on the outside. The fatal flaw of being a One Hit dealer is that if you fail to secure the distance, you can get caught out easily. This is especially true for mages because of the time it takes to cast.
‘That doesn’t mean I can just casually put a hole in his head.’
The goal is to compete in this duel, so threatening your opponent’s life is considered cheating. It’s okay to hit a limb or two using Noir, but… I would have to utilize the karambit more.
『Both sides prepare. You must be ready to finish as soon as we signal to start.』
A familiar sensation rose from the bottom. A blue light was emitted immediately and was glowing inside my eyes.
『Here we go! Start!』
As soon as the announcer finished speaking, I immediately flickered behind Lee Eun-Woo. The moment I made eye contact with him, I felt a sense of foreboding. He must have seen me fighting with the Mutant Queen Ant before, and he must have realized my fighting style, because that’s how I broke the queen ant’s wings early on.
‘A trap?’
I thought, and jerked back.
Electricity crackled where I was standing. I was standing in the middle of the room, with Lee Eun-Woo in the center, and electricity was flowing all over the floor around him. It suddenly made a crackling sound.
“You’re not so easy to deal with after all.”
There was no malice in his smile. If I’d been hit by that attack, I’d be out cold.
“You too.”
Lee Eun-Woo’s words were roughly answered, and he straightened his weapon. Noir was held by the right hand, while Karambit was on the left.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
