Chapter 86: 86

“So let"s start with a general fighter first,” Hyeonu said while watching Dwayne rus.h.i.+ng at him .  To be precise, he was speaking to the audience .

"In any case, you have come here to learn from Alley Leader . So don"t be burdened, Dwayne . " Dwayne didn"t tremble like usual rankers .  He charged over to Hyeonu with the desire to win and show off his skills .  Once Hyeonu was three meters away, Dwayne pushed with his right shoulder .  This was one of the close-range fighter"s skills, Iron Mountain Attack .

Hyeonu dodged it simply by taking one step . Then he struck at the crook of Dwayne"s knee .  Dwayne lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground .

“Look, don"t charge in such an ignorant manner . Unless the opponent is an idiot, they won"t be hit by a fighter who is charging honestly . If the opponent is a swordsman, you would already be done here . Your body would"ve been cut apart,” Hyeonu said and then waited for Dwayne to stand up . “You should never run like that . The opponents aren"t idiots . There is no one who can"t handle it . This time, let"s try a melee . Come back . ”

Due to Hyeonu"s words, Dwayne walked over slowly .  Then he took a fighting stance .

“Slowly, think slowly . Don"t just enter casually . "What skills should I use?" "How will I fight?" "After this skill, use this . " You should keep thinking, Dwayne . ” 

"Think . . . Dwayne, think!" Dwayne stretched out his fists .

He had a rare cla.s.s and was wearing many unique items, so his speed was extremely fast .  However, Hyeonu avoided Dwayne"s fist by turning his upper body and stepping his right foot back .

"A chance!" At this moment, Dwayne"s blow came in .

He had a cla.s.s that used his entire body as a weapon .  They were at a distance where they could feel each other"s breaths .  This was the distance for a close-range fighter .  Dwayne had never lost to anyone at this distance .

So he held a dash of hope .  "I can deal one blow!!"

Dwayne gave strength to his leg that was behind while stretching out a fist .  Then he hit Hyeonu with his elbow .  Still, Hyeonu was Alley Leader .  He wasn"t someone who would be struck by such a simple series of blows .  Hyeonu precisely punched Dwayne"s elbow and followed up with a straight blow! Hyeonu"s fist hit Dwayne"s abdomen . It was like a balloon bursting open .

"He is better than I thought at close-range combat . I think he"ll be able to get a bronze medal on Monday," Hyeonu thought as he reached out for the fallen Dwayne .

“Finally, let"s show you the difference when you"re fighting a close-range fighter . Dwayne, take a good look . ”

At this moment, Dwayne regretted being the first to be admitted to Alley Leader Academy .  He thought Alley Leader was going to beat him up again .  However, he wasn"t the one Alley Leader"s fists struck .  It was a scarecrow .  The scene looked the same as before, but the contents were different .

The scarecrow also moved according to the setting .  As if to prove this, the scarecrow moved gently .  Additionally, this scarecrow was carrying a sword .

“This is the scarecrow version of a swordsman set to the highest difficulty level . I"m going to show you the exact difference in fighting styles by fighting against this scarecrow . ”

As Alley Leader spoke, his fists were covered in red .  The scarecrow was around five meters away .  Alley Leader stretched out his fists, and surprisingly, a pit formed in the scarecrow .  Due to the shock, the scarecrow couldn"t support its body .  Alley Leader appeared in front of the scarecrow .  Then he raised his fists several times .  The scarecrow went on the defensive and opened up the distance between it and its opponent according to the programmed data .

This was an extremely mechanical move .  But who was Hyeonu? His skills were terribly frightening in PvP .  Hyeonu chased and beat up the scarecrow, ending the battle just like this .  The scarecrow"s movements soon stopped .

“A fighter can deal the first blow before opening the distance and striking again . Simple, right?”

-How is it simple?!

-Look at this personality .  I despise it .

-If I could, I would fight like that .

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

There was no answer from Dwayne, who just stared blankly at Hyeonu"s combat style .  Hyeonu didn"t show incredibly fast movements .  This type of movement was enough for him .  It was just that his instantaneous judgment was different .

"Is it the close-range fighter"s turn now?" Dwayne felt his heart beat strongly .

It was time for Alley Leader to show the close-range fighter cla.s.s .

“This time, I will show you a close-range fighter . Dwayne, take a good look . This is the combat style you"ll be practicing and that I"ll be teaching you . ”

Hyeonu once again created a scarecrow .  This time it was still set to the highest difficulty .

"How are you going to deal with it, Alley Leader?" Dwayne was looking forward to Hyeonu"s battle .  He felt hopeful that his future would look like this .  Hyeonu moved step by step, never in a hurry .  He approached the scarecrow carefully .  This time, the scarecrow took the bait and swung its wooden sword quickly .  The scarecrow was set on the highest level difficulty, so the sword had sword energy .

The wooden sword"s trajectory moved accurately toward Hyeonu"s shoulder .  In a normal PvP match between a swordsman and fighter, the fighter would half dodge the sword energies and half use skills to hit back .  However, Hyeonu didn"t follow such traditional methods .  He dug deeper into the scarecrow instead of evading .  Hyeonu didn"t miss the trajectory of the sword with his eyes .  As a result, he was able to enter the gap .

"Now!"

Having swung its sword at Hyeonu, the scarecrow had no means of defending .  The meaning was that in this situation, the player should persistently attack with the body .  In this situation, an average fighter wouldn"t be able to win against a swordsman .  With similar items and similar skills, it would be absolutely impossible if they had a similar level too .  As long as there were one or two attacks, there would be a knockback effect, and the fighter would be pushed back .

This was unless they had an item or skill that had the effect of restricting movements, like Hyeonu did .  Still, it was possible for Dwayne to fight .  A close-range fighter was literally a cla.s.s optimized for fighting .  He was able to keep his opponent in place and beat it .

This was possible for Hyeonu—no, Alley Leader .  It started with a short punch .  His fist flew, striking as sharply as lightning .  Following that was an elbow attack .  Hyeonu"s elbow directly hit the center of the scarecrow"s chest .  It was clearly an attack that would cause a normal player to fall over if they were hit by it .

Hyeonu grabbed the shoulder of the floundering scarecrow .  Its shoulder broke, and its waist was forced to fold .  Next up was a knee kick! The helpless scarecrow allowed itself to be hit by the precise blow, sending it falling to its knees .  The last attack was a soccer kick .  Hyeonu"s brutal move struck the scarecrow"s face and popped the scarecrow"s head off .

“How about it? Isn"t this good? This is the fraudulent nature of the close-range fighter cla.s.s . It is for all the kids who like fighting . Swordsmen like me are enjoying Arena with a garbage cla.s.s . ” 

The scarecrow disappeared as Hyeonu spoke, but no one responded to Hyeonu"s words .  Everyone was in shock .  No one had thought that such a battle was possible .  It was the same for the close-range fighter, Dwayne Evans .  

"Is that the combat style of a close-range fighter?" Dwayne was in greater shock than everyone else .  He had never imagined anything like this .  The combat style was fast and intense .  Simultaneously, it was soft .  Every blow was clean, and the connections were smooth .

“Is this the combat style I"m going to learn?”

“That"s right . This is the framework . The details will depend on your skill . ”

After the demonstration, Hyeonu taught Dwayne the basics of PvP .

“This is the most important point . Eyes—the eyes are the most important . ”

“The eyes? Are you talking about motor vision?”

“There is something more fundamental and important—gathering information about your opponent . It is completely dependent on the eyes . To put it bluntly, you have no way of getting information on the opponents you will meet in the arena from anywhere else . It is because your opponents" levels will be too low . ”

-Kyah, look at that spiteful tongue .

-There is no need to worry because they don"t have bronze medals .  Isn"t that it? ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-Alley Leader is beating them with facts .

“Dwayne, once you are matched to someone, your job is to look at the opponent with both eyes . Look at your opponent"s cla.s.s and their weapon and guess their level based on their items . That"s it . The next step is to think about it based on that information . ” Hyeonu tapped his temple with his fingers . “Let"s say the cla.s.s looks like a warrior, and the weapon is a sword . Based on the items, the opponent is below level 100 . Then using your high stats, you lead them into a melee . It is a design like that . Do you understand?”

Dwayne nodded at Hyeonu"s words .  There were many things to realize from Hyeonu"s words .

"How long have I been challenging the arena so far?"

Yet Dwayne had never heard of anything like this .  The many posts in the communities and even his friends who bragged about their success in the arena hadn"t told him these things .

"They didn"t want to teach me . "

Dwayne opened his mouth and said, “This is really good . Theories about PvP—I"m sure they will help me as well as everyone who has seen this stream . ”

-I admit it .  No one else can say these tips .

-The guilds and streams who make the arena as their main market seldom reveal their winning techniques .

-Praise the enlightened G.o.d Alley Leader!!

-Now that I"ve got super good tips, I"ll have to run to the arena .  I will come back to the next stream with a bronze medal .

-Leader Groupie has gifted you 999 gold coins .

-Alley Leader is the Best Best Best has gifted you 999 gold coins .

-I Live Well in My House has gifted you 1234 gold coins .

-Parisian has gifted you 2345 gold coins .

Everyone agreed with Dwayne"s words .  The streamers and guilds known for PvP occasionally used training as content .  However, there had never been a case where they taught with as much detail and as systematically as Hyeonu had done .  They always explained it vaguely .

"Like this against a fighter, like this against a swordsman . "

It was just a demonstration of what everyone knew .

"Cheap trick . " This expression described it perfectly .  Of course, they wouldn"t explain it like Hyeonu .  They could, but they didn"t actually want to teach .  By disclosing this information, they were afraid that rookies would appear to grab their positions .

-Wow, the more I think about it, the worse I feel .

-What?

-Those guild jerks, especially Mano… He uploaded a few videos regarding PvP, but there are none of these tips .  It is a complete deception in the meantime .  

-Really .  I realized it when I saw the stream of G.o.d Alley Leader .  Those jerks are garbage .

The atmosphere in the chat window started to flow in a strange direction .  The chat, which had been filled with praise for the information released by Hyeonu, gradually s.h.i.+fted to criticism for those who used PvP as their content .

"Eh? Why is the chat window like this?" 

By the time Hyeonu realized it, the flames were already burning, and he had no way to put them out .

"It can"t be helped . "

So Hyeonu came up with the most convenient and irresponsible method .  “Then today"s stream will end here . The theoretical part is over . In the next stream, I"ll take time to improve Dwayne"s skills . See you next time!”

The stream ended .

"Did I intend this? No . "

“I don"t know . ”

Hyeonu looked like he knew nothing .
