Choi Yoon’s daughter, Choi Jisu, was staring at her laptop on her bed in the hospital room .  Her laptop was showing two men engaged in a fierce battle .  There was a series of slashes! It was a battle that would make viewers sweat .

“Jisu? It’s time to prepare . . . ” The nurse usually in charge of Choi Jisu spoke to her .  Now Choi Jisu had to prepare to be discharged .  The time to depart for the airport was approaching .

“Wait a minute . It is an important moment . My father is fighting . I’ll watch for another 10 minutes,” Choi Jisu said to the nurse as her eyes remained fixed on her laptop .

She couldn’t believe that one of the men in the video was her dad .  Just a week ago, he had been an ordinary South Korean player .  Now he was fighting a thrilling battle that made people sweat .  Choi Jisu’s thoughts on this didn’t last long because the nurse continued to call out to her .  

“Didn’t you say that you’ll only watch for another 10 minutes? Get ready . Don’t you need to be prepared before your father comes?”

It was already the third time Choi Jisu had said this .  There might be plenty of time, but it couldn’t be wasted on watching the video on her laptop .  The distressed nurse approached Choi Jisu .  Just then, there was the sound of knocking on the room’s door .  Knock knock!

“Jisu? Your father’s here! Are you ready?”

Choi Yoon appeared after the stream ended .

“Father!!” Choi Jisu hadn’t moved despite the anxious nurse’s urging . Now she jumped out of bed and ran toward Choi Yoon .

‘Ugh . ’ Choi Yoon held back letting out a groan .  Choi Jisu might be light, but she obviously weighed more than just a couple of kilograms .  It was natural for him to groan when Choi Jisu threw herself at him .  Choi Yoon examined the room .  There was a neatly arranged travel bag and a pile of clothes that was probably for Choi Jisu to change into .  The preparations were over .

“My daughter, do you want to change your clothes? Wear them quickly . We have to get on the plane . It is Father’s wish . ”

“Yes . By the way, what happened, Father? Did you get a bronze medal?” Choi Jisu might be pale, but her eyes were lively .

She stared at Choi Yoon with these eyes .

“Ah! That?” Choi Yoon smiled at his adorable daughter .

Another ranking battle ended .  This time it was still Choi Yoon’s victory .  It was close to a formula .  He would defend and then subsequently use Turning Over the Ground .  Until now, there hadn’t been any player who could withstand this pattern .  Choi Yoon’s ranking was still too low .

“It’s okay,” Hyeonu muttered .  Choi Yoon’s battle wasn’t as dynamic and glamorous as Dwayne’s style, but he had one great blow .  As a result, Choi Yoon was cruising toward the bronze medal .

‘Then why do I feel so anxious?’

The journey to the bronze medal was going smoothly .  If this continued, then Choi Yoon would win a bronze medal like Dwayne had done .  It was just that a strange sense of anxiety filled Hyeonu’s mind .

-Wow, the uncle is great!

-How long will it be now until the bronze medal?

-What is his current ranking?

-Is it six consecutive victories?

The viewers didn’t know Hyeonu’s insecurities and were simply intrigued by Choi Yoon’s performance .  They liked it .  Choi Yoon was as ordinary as them, so they felt a surrogate satisfaction when they saw him winning .

‘Well, it isn’t a big deal . ’

Hyeonu streamed the show while ignoring his unrest .

“Choi Yoon, what is your ranking now?”

“Now it is around 83 million . I won five times in a row . So after the last match, I went up five million spots instantly . ”

Arena’s system a.n.a.lyzed Choi Yoon’s ranking battle and determined he wasn’t suitable for his current ranking .  As a result, Choi Yoon was matched with a higher ranking player, and his ranking climbed a lot .

-Wow, five million at once .

-Crazy, crazy .  Five million . . .

-I want to raise my ranking by five million as well .

-So he will get a bronze medal if he wins 15 more consecutive matches?

‘73 million . . . Wasn’t it 20 wins for Dwayne? It should be roughly around that many matches . ’

Hyeonu had started the ranking battle at a very low level, and due to the system, he played the ranking battle against quite high-level players .  It was only after 100 consecutive victories that he could become a bronze medalist (9,999,999 to 1,000,000 ranking) .

However, Dwayne and Choi Yoon were different .  Their ranking swelled every time they won because their level was already above the player’s average .

“Choi Yoon, continue the ranking battle . ”

Choi Yoon continued to fight the ranking battles .  Four ranking battles led to four wins .  The three battles ended as easily as the first one .  He blocked the opponent’s attack and pierced the opponent’s vital spot .  However, the last match didn’t end with just one or two attacks .  It was a close fight where their weapons collided each time .

This allowed Choi Yoon and the others to realize something .  It was that the opponents didn’t have lower specs than Choi Yoon anymore .  Then there was the 11th ranking battle . If he won this, it would be 11 consecutive victories .

‘Huh?’ Choi Yoon had a strange expression when he saw his next opponent .  The opponent was a knight, the most common cla.s.s in the arena .  The exception was that the opponent’s weapon was a big sword .  ‘Based on what I can see, the player is mainly strength oriented . Avoid it and block thoroughly . ’

Choi Yoon was thinking ahead when the ranking battle began .

[The ranking battle has started . ]

‘I absolutely can’t block it head on . ’

Due to the nature of Arena, the attack power of a greatsword or broadsword wasn’t very strong .  The shape could be placed in a capsule and converted, but that was it .  However, the use of such a weapon showed how much the character had invested in the strength stat .  The opposing knight’s sword moved toward Choi Yoon .

Choi Yoon was ready to move from the beginning .  The moment the knight’s sword moved, Choi Yoon was no longer in the same location .  The knight’s greatsword seemed to stick to the ground .  Choi Yoon had predicted it and moved quickly .

‘Huh?’

However, he didn’t hear the sound he expected .  There wasn’t the sound of metal striking the earth .  Choi Yoon turned his head with a frown, and something cut through the air .  It was the knight’s greatsword .  Choi Yoon was frightened and raised the Dwarf’s Sword to block the opponent’s sword .

‘How?’

Choi Yoon couldn’t understand it .  How did the opponent’s sword turn toward him? Just a few seconds before the greatsword hit the ground, the knight stepped forward with his left foot and turned his body .  As a result, the greatsword that was headed toward the ground flew toward Choi Yoon .

‘Is this possible?’ Choi Yoon didn’t know the series of processes, but he knew one thing .  No one who could do this type of thing would remain in this ranking stage .

‘Don’t tell me . . . ?’

“d.a.m.n,” Hyeonu cursed in a low voice that no one could hear .

‘A proxy knight was met again . ’

The proxy knights that others couldn’t meet had appeared for the second time in Alley Leader’s Academy .  Moreover, it was at a critical moment .  Choi Yoon’s momentum was at its peak after 10 consecutive victories .  It was clear that if he continued his winning streak while maintaining his current momentum, he would be able to win a bronze medal .  Yet now . . .

Unfortunately, he met a proxy knight .  It was impossible for players who could make such movements to stay in the 50 million section .  After all, it was the psychology of normal people to show off when they had skills .  Even if they didn’t brag to anyone and kept it a secret, their ranking would still rise .

“You must’ve seen that movement . He absolutely isn’t a local . It is clearly a proxy knight . ” Hyeonu sighed .

The viewers who normally teased Hyeonu or opposed Hyeonu’s words agreed with his opinion .

-Is that a ranking similar to mine? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-When did the level of a deep-sea player rise so high?

-He must be enjoying Arena in the inner core, not the deep sea, right?

-Usually at this ranking, the player’s weapon would be stuck in the ground and then they would be hit in the back .  ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is too absurd .

This acrobatic movement was literally outrageous .  The audience watching the ranking battle knew it best .  It was impossible .

-The uncle needs to implement justice like Dwayne .

-Dwayne was able to make up for his lack of skill with items .  It isn’t possible for the uncle .

-Uh . . .  I’m sorry to see the uncle lose .

-Uncle, have strength! Crush the proxy knight!

“Fortunately, there is a chance of winning . He can target his opponent’s carelessness . It is the pride of the proxy knight . Choi Yoon will win if he targets this . ”

Choi Yoon should aim for the other side’s negligence .  It was negligence based on the pride of a player who shouldn’t be in this ranking .  If this existed, then Choi Yoon had real hope .

‘Please have a personality problem . . . ’ Hyeonu prayed earnestly .

Choi Yoon was pushed back while blocking the opponent’s sword .  He managed to fend off the attack in a manner that seemed precarious .

‘Still, it is better than I thought . ’

Choi Yoon’s constant opponents had been the scarecrow and Alley Leader .  The current opponent’s skills and specs were good, but they didn’t reach Hyeonu’s average level set for the bronze medal section .  In other words, it meant there was more room for leisure than when Choi Yoon had been practicing .

‘There is only one chance . ’

Choi Yoon kept defending and occasionally used a counter while hiding Turning Over the Ground .  He left it as his secret weapon .

[Turning Over the Ground]

[Counterattack the opponent’s attack with a momentum to overturn the ground .

Type: Immediately Activated

Rating: Rare

Skill Proficiency: D-

Invalidate the opponent’s attack .

Increases your attack power by 80% of the opponent’s attack power . ]

‘The equipment is poor compared to his skills,’ Choi Yoon a.n.a.lyzed soberly .  Choi Yoon had studied the equipment representing every level ever since Hyeonu started teaching him .  The equipment worn by the opposing proxy knight was similar to his own .  He didn’t know the exact information of the weapon, but it was a.s.sumed to be unique rated . The various armor equipment were either common or uncommon .  If the combo of Turning Over the Ground and Heavy Blow hit properly, then the opponent could be killed in one breath .

‘It is a disgusting defensive . ’ Han Jaeyeol, the knight opposing Choi Yoon, frowned .

This was an order from the team’s director, Yoon Hyeongu of Big Stars, but he was full of dissatisfaction .

‘What bulls.h.i.+t about my skills increasing? It is more like regressing . ’

Han Jaeyeol’s goal was to make a prominent debut in PvP of the professional league and move to another team .

‘Yet I have to be a proxy knight?’

However, Han Jaeyeol knew the reason why Yoon Hyeongu had him acting as a proxy knight .  It couldn’t be helped .  If Yoon Hyeongu didn’t do this, then Han Jaeyeol might be kicked out of the team .

‘How many a.s.signments are there today?’

Han Jaeyeol stopped paying attention to Choi Yoon .  His mind was full of the rankings he had to achieve today .  Han Jaeyeol swung his greatsword like before .  The sword moved quickly and aimed at Choi Yoon’s head .  At this moment, light started to gather at Choi Yoon’s sword .
