‘They’ve assigned homework.’
After the match, the commentators’ words inspired every headline.
[Mir Guild assigns homework every match!]
[Mir Guild wasn’t a student, but a teacher.]
[Let me introduce the new teacher. “Hi, I’m Lee Shin.”]
Е̄ n ū m̊а̌
If you imagine it, it looked like this.
A classroom full of students.

The sign on the classroom reads “League 1.” In the back, the seats by the window—a symbol of power—hold Kirin and White Sword, while Taeyang and Shinsung leisurely flip through pages, and Royal Sword and a few others catch the lower-tier students like pests.
The power structure had remained unchanged for far too long. So the classroom felt dull and boring. Stagnation breeds decay, after all.
But then!
A freshman appeared in this classroom for the first time in a long while.
Ė n̆ ǔ m̌а̃
A freshman with wealth, brains, terrifying good looks, and extreme popularity—like national-level power.
The lower-tier students trembled in fear at his appearance. The middle-tier students were tense, and the top-tier students’ competitiveness ignited.
The previously loose classroom suddenly became tense.
And they had prepared thoroughly, but…

The handsome freshman climbed onto the teacher’s desk and pulled something out. In his hands was an unimaginable object:
A tape-repaired tattered spinny toy glasses…
W е b ǹоv̄ е̃l̆ Ѐn̊ u ṁ á
“Ha… glasses. Glasses. Right when things were going well! Those damn glasses!”
Cha Dong-ha looked down with a disappointed expression as Lee Shin, sitting cross-legged on a folding chair, smirked.
“Hehe, it’s homework. You have to endure it.”
Homework, homework…
The more Lee Shin thought about the word, the more he liked it.
“Think about it. What does giving homework mean? It means we’re the ones in charge now, the League operates under our direction! Kuuuh.”

“Isn’t that an old-fashioned way of thinking? When was this about hierarchy? Nowadays teachers and students are on equal footing. Haven’t you heard of eye-level teaching?”
“It’s just a saying, a saying! Tch, kids these days! It’s not for nothing they talk about the collapse of teaching authority.”
“What does that even have to do with this?”
Anyway, if you had to pick one word to summarize what Lee Shin and [Mir Guild] have been doing, it would be “homework.”
They brought tension to a loose League, whipped stagnant and lazy guilds with a bloody whip, and gave passion and inspiration to guilds that wanted to change.
A true master guiding in the right direction…!

“That’s why the word ‘homework’ strikes my chest!”
“That’s arrhythmia.”

“Don’t you feel it boiling? Something hot bubbling deep in your chest? I feel it bubbling. Bubbling!”
“Your blood pressure is rising.”
“This professor, cold, harsh, and cruel. How stylish! Kuuuh…!”
“It seems the conversation isn’t going anywhere. Do you even see the people suffering because of your so-called style?”
Е̊n̊ů mӓ.i d
As Cha Dong-ha pointed out, the staff around them were busy moving equipment, organizing props, and shouting at the cameras.
At least being overwhelmed is fine. Inspiration pierced the chest, and lava-like style boiled deep inside—that’s tolerable.
But why?
“Why on earth do you have to make such a fuss official?”

As soon as the word “homework” made the headlines, Lee Shin insisted on taking promotional photos.
“I want to take them!!”
Ё nùm̂ a .і́ d
He lay on the floor, throwing a fit, and Cha Dong-ha even had to check the phone number for the mental hospital he’d forgotten about for a while.
“Tell me. Why are you doing this to me? I’m busy to death, why are you making me do more work, huh?!”
“Hmph, why, you ask.”
At that moment, the broadcast director shouted that everything was ready, and Lee Shin stood up, leaving one line behind.
“Because it’s style.”
As he walked, Lee Shin fumbled something from his front pocket and put it on. Seeing this, Cha Dong-ha slumped into an empty chair, sighing.

“Those damn glasses. Should’ve shattered them beyond repair.”
Lee Shin, wearing the tattered spinny glasses, donned a white lab coat.
The cold, harsh, cruel Professor makes his entrance.
“Class begins.”
Kuuuh! So damn stylish. No wonder the fans go crazy.

Meanwhile, while everyone laughed at the professor-concept photos taken in line with the homework statement, some people were gnashing their teeth while looking at them…
Those people were the guilds themselves.

They were struggling, their heads about to explode, trying to solve this damn homework.
“Again? You brought this thing out again?”
“This is insane. This should have been enough!!”
“Seriously, how many times do we have to deal with this? What about common decency?”
W̆е b̄ n̈о_v̄ѐ l Ӗ n ǔmа̄
In fact, this wasn’t the first time [Mir Guild] had assigned homework.
Since the opening match, they had miraculously revived [Mountain King] Kim Jong-pil, whose presence had been fading with time, restoring him as a terror in the League, and debuted genius [Baek Yeon-woo], who despite just awakening, could rival major Hunters.
“From the start of the season, they rotated the second team to do the absurd stuff, and now look at what these guys are doing.”
“It’s not a time-attack raid, it’s a complete annihilation operation… I want to see what kind of brains they’ve got.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“And that’s not all. What about the competitive raids? Those damn competitive raids made us lose countless nights of sleep, grinding our teeth.”
“They complained we couldn’t make something like the Woongjin-dan… damn… do they think that’s easy?”
W е b̆ ň о vеl Еǹu̇m̈ а́_
This was the homework up to now.
And now, the duo of [Hwarang] & [Mountain King] has appeared.
A new meta of simultaneous jungle and support roaming!
If this is homework, it’s shamelessly fast-paced, professor!!
And the person responsible for this, day by day, feels their blood drying up. [Ha Jin-cheol], the CEO of [Haemu Guild], felt exactly that.
“Chief analyst, tell me.”

“There’s good news and bad news.”
“…Let’s hear the good news first.”
“The strategy itself is very simple. Not difficult at all. Merge a high-spec Support with the Jungler and explode the game in the early phase before growth occurs. That’s easy to do if you want.”
“And the bad news?”
“…The conditions get tricky when you go into the details. Very tricky.”
First, a Support with the mobility to run with the Jungler.

Second, stamina that doesn’t falter despite the effort.
Third, CC for ganking targets and enough defense to survive even a little tower damage.

“On top of that, they need good judgment and battle sense. Especially in small skirmishes, individual sense is crucial.”
“And the Jungler?”
“I was about to say. Above all, mobility. Crossing Rift walls is basic. If possible, the Support should also be able to cross walls.”
“So they need utility…basically, they need everything.”
Ẁ е̂ b n̄ o v̇е̃ ĺ Е n̂uṁ а
“Exactly. Primary option it is.”
In a guild, the primary option is the main weapon.
The weapon you are most confident in, the one you know can’t be stopped even if the enemy tries.
“So we can’t use that strategy with our current squad?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“You could, but with the current level of completeness, it’d be worse than not trying. Basically, unless you can match the squad and weight of the current [Mir Guild], you have to at least be able to perform all the roles they execute.”
“Roles? Make it simple.”
Е̊n̊um̈a .і d
“Think of [Hwarang] and [Mountain King] blowing up top in three consecutive sets.”
People admired the volcanic duo’s terrifying power, but that play was only possible because [Baek Yeon-woo] won 1:1s and constantly applied pressure.
“Looks casual, but it’s a series of meticulously designed plays. From an analyst’s perspective, it’s goosebump-inducing.”
“Admire it alone. So what do we do?”
“For now, continue the League with the existing plan, but even now, investigating prospects and resources would be the best course of action.”
The meta will inevitably change. The picture Lee Shin painted is that effective and brilliant.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It’s just that the current guild squad or circumstances don’t allow it yet.
So prepare for next season.
The analysis chief left after reporting, and Ha Jin-cheol lit a cigarette.
“Designed play…Lee Shin, you sly bastard.”
Park Jung-seok passed the buck.
Unable to say it aloud, Ha Jin-cheol chewed the cigarette in frustration.

While the Haemu Guild hesitated, blocked by the wall of reality, there were guilds that actively tried new things.
Like this one.

“Hmm…….”
The raid captain, Cross Iruha, and the analysis team were watching the arena screen.
This was the arena of the Shinsung Guild.
A practice match was underway between Team A and Team B.
Wе̌b n̂ovе́_l̆ En um à
Team A was the most conventional, rushing-style team. Team B was employing the so-called “Volcano Strategy” recently showcased by the Mir Guild.
Finally, Team B captured Team A’s jungle, breaking the balance of the canyon. The raid captain quickly checked the time.
“7 minutes 14 seconds. Amazing, faster than expected. Both teams’ strength is similar, right?”
“That’s correct. Team B is a mix of Tier-3 hunters and endgame raid hunters. In contrast, Team A is entirely Tier-3.”

“We’ve adjusted conditions carefully, including equipment and potions.”
“Looks like it. Except for differences in ability, the overall scenario is similar to the previous games shown by Mir Guild.”

Not as much as Lee Shin’s Mir Guild, but behind the Shinsung Guild was the Shinsung Group. Even for the pride of one of the four largest domestic corporations, support would not be lacking.
Thus, they recruited hunters from satellite guilds in the lower leagues, mimicking as closely as possible the tools and members of Mir Guild, running this lavish simulation.
“Interesting. How many games has this been?”
“14th.”
“How many times did that strategy succeed?”
“About 10 games. Of those, three were almost game-breaking, three were complete dominance, and the remaining four maintained slight advantages.”

“So roughly 70%. That’s proven useful enough.”
This meant that in similar weight classes, fulfilling only the roles needed for each position could secure an early advantage roughly 70% of the time.
For Shinsung Guild, centered on their healer, Cross Iruha, using a “zombie concept,” this was highly appealing information.
Because Shinsung Guild’s greatest weakness was explosive early-game plays.
Iruha thought this strategy shown by Mir Guild could cover that weakness.
“Here’s my take. Even if we adopt that strategy immediately, we cannot expect the level of destructive power that Hwarang and senior Mountain King displayed together. Agreed?”
Ê ṅ_u m a.î d
“Agreed. It’s not the method, it’s a strategy that requires preparation.”
“The more I see, the more well-combined the design play seems. I’m sure Lee Shin and Mir Guild prepared extensively.”

“Good. Then, what if we aim not to destroy the enemy, but to harass and inhibit growth? If we lower the hurdle this much, wouldn’t it be feasible even now?”
“Hmm.”
“Well, may I take a moment to think?”
“Of course.”
Ĕn ŭ ḿ а̇
While the analysis team discussed among themselves, Iruha continued watching the screen.
Shortly after, the analysis team reached a conclusion.
“It’s impossible for now. Aside from everything else, the survival of the AD carry is at stake.”
“In fact, in this strategy, the AD carry is as important as the Supporter. Can the AD carry survive a 2:1? That’s the point. And Yu Ri-ra accomplished this with incredible agility and attack power.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“On the other hand, our current AD carry is ranker ‘Blaster.’ Blaster has long range, high burst damage, and powerful AoE bombardment, making him a reliable late-game carry, but he doesn’t have the mobility of Mir’s Yu Ri-ra.”
The conclusion: it’s impossible for now.
Е nu m̂ ӓ. i d̂
Still, the hurdle Iruha suggested was realistic, and they answered that they would prepare as quickly as possible.
Iruha nodded.
“Let’s do that.”
He was not an extraordinary strategist like Guardian or Mountain King.
Yet with long experience and insight, his ability to read the flow of the battlefield was exceptional.
‘The whirlwind Lee Shin and Mir Guild are creating won’t end as just a whirlwind. That’s the next trend, and the future heading our way.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Whether Lee Shin was a showman or a genius CEO was irrelevant.
The important thing was that Lee Shin was leading this league.
Will we follow Lee Shin? Or find another path not led by him?
That choice was being presented.
And the choice of Iruha and Shinsung Guild was to follow Lee Shin.
‘We have to prepare as quickly as possible.’

At minimum, by the latter half of the season, or at maximum, by the next season, they had to produce an answer.
This was a challenge that people outside were trembling at.

Others even more daring and quick to adopt the meta than Shinsung Guild, others appeared.
