Chapter 234
Ever since the word [national representative] came out of Lee Shin’s mouth, the trio of Lee Shin’s kids felt their hearts pounding.
“Ughhh, my heart’s suddenly racing. Feels like it’s going to jump out of my mouth. Su-bin, are you okay?”
“……”
“Su-bin? Su-bin??”
“……I think it’s upset. My stomach feels sick.”
Е̊ n̂úmӓ .і̃ d̈
“Yeah, I thought so. Your face is blue.”
Yu Ri-ra stamped her feet anxiously, and Park Soobin said she felt unwell.

In the middle, Baek Yeon-woo maintained his usual poker face, and seeing that, the two gave him a thumbs-up.
“Wow, look at Yeon-woo being so calm. Didn’t think you were like that, you’re an adult, a real adult!”
“Sorry, Yeon-woo, can you pat my back?”
But like I said earlier, the [trio] was pounding with nerves.
Е numа̃.і́ d
Too embarrassed to show it, Baek Yeon-woo’s heart was already going wild. Like pistons of an engine with the accelerator slammed to the floor, his heart pumped blood like pop-pop. His whole body felt hot from the circulation.
‘National representative! Me, a national rep…!!’
His reaction is perfectly normal.
No matter how global the league is, there are people who don’t watch it.

But even they watch national team matches. A chance to bring honor to the country and seize the attention of six billion people!
So the national team uniform is every hunter’s dream and the most honorable seat a hunter can take.
Е n üṁ a .ї d
Not being surprised would be strange.
In fact, the moment Yeon-woo’s mother heard the words [national rep], her legs gave out and she collapsed.
“Really, really? My son is a national rep….”
“Mom, are you okay?”
“Uuhhh… I-I’m sorry. No, this isn’t the time for this, let’s eat meat. Beef. The most expensive one. Call Su-bin’s family too. Mom will treat everyone.”
“The restaurant.”

“Why do you care about the restaurant? You’re a national rep!!”
“Uh, yeah.”
She’d hoped so much for this moment…
Dreamed of this day…
But why did the first person he had to meet had to be Park Gwang-seop, of all people!!
“What are you doing not coming in?”
W̄ е b̀ n̆ o v̇ eĺ Е̇n̈ uṁ а
Baek Yeon-woo entered the room with a sulky face.
Seeing his scrunched expression, Park Gwang-seop smirked and said something Baek Yeon-woo would remember for the rest of his life.

“If you’re inside, take off your clothes.”
“…What the fuck?”
________________________________________
There’s a saying from the world where Lee Shin lived in his previous life:
W еb ǹо v̌ě ĺ Ё ǹ um̌a
If something weird happens in world history, point to England—there’s a good chance you’re right.
There was a bit of a different metaphor, but similar here.
In the Korean Hunter world, if there’s a rule, it’s probably something the Mountain King created.
Hunters drafted for the national team are paired 2-to-1 as partners, must eat three meals together no matter what, have restrictions on private life, and though training is voluntary, they must never oppose the head director’s judgment.

All of this was created back when the Mountain King wrote the legend of the Three Kings, and even now, after countless revisions of the national uniform, it remains as tradition.
And this is what Park Gwang-seop wanted to talk about.
Еn ũm̆ а.і̄ d
“…And part of this tradition is that the highest-ranked veteran takes care of the rookie. Breathe properly.”
“Sss…”
“Slower. Like pulling the oxygen from your big toe up to your crown following your spine. I taught you this once. Do I have to teach it again?”
Park Gwang-seop scolded, sprawled on a sunbed looking at his phone, while Baek Yeon-woo frowned inside the tub.
He had told him to strip out of nowhere, brought some murky seaweed-colored liquid, and now he was making him practice some breathing technique he’d never seen before.
His fantasy about the national team was already shattered, and now this…of course he was annoyed.

But Park Gwang-seop didn’t flinch even once.
“Fix your expression while I’m being nice. Do you know how much that medicine you’re soaking in costs? It’s a house. A whole house, got it? And where do you think that money came from? My pocket.”
“Who…”
“Shut it, you’ll ruin the effect. Just listen. When I heard I’d be responsible for you, I even went to the auction house. Shouldn’t you at least be a little moved? Breathe properly.”
“Sss… sss…”
“You think I’m doing this because I want to? I’m annoyed too. But what can I do, it’s tradition. If you’re upset, complain to your top guild leader. Want me to call him for you?”
Еn̆ um̌ а̌. і.d
“…(shake shake).”
“Anyway, to finish what I was saying: veterans must take care of rookies. Eating, sleeping, dressing, training—everything.”

By showing the veterans caring for the rookies, people who had been rivals in the league could unite into one team.
However, if this was all the tradition passed down from the Mountain King, Head Director Hong Han-hyun added a new order this year.
— “Gwang-seop, Kang-cheol, Eunseo, sit down. We’re calling Mir Guild’s three kids this time. I intend to entrust the three of them to you. In my opinion, these three should be handled like this…”
HHH, newly enlightened after an in-depth discussion with Lee Shin and the [manual] he handed over.
Еnū ma
Of course, bringing up strategy while asking a favor was extremely HHH-like, but the three veterans were used to it.
They were the ones closest to Hong Han-hyun, after all. It wasn’t the first time he was tactless.
So the three were assigned to the three kids according to Hong Han-hyun’s instructions, which is why Park Gwang-seop was taking such… special care of Baek Yeon-woo, even dunking him into a tub of medicine.
“In my opinion, you treat yourself too roughly. You don’t properly release pressure.”

“…Sss??”
“From your expression, you’re thinking ‘what bullshit is that.’ Fine, I admit your guild is full of monsters. There’s no way that a genius guild master wouldn’t manage you properly.”
Ѐ n̈ ùmа
“…Sss sss!”
“But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about this.”
Park Gwang-seop pressed Yeon-woo’s forehead with his fingers.
“You keep overworking your mind.”
“Sss?!”
“How many videos do you watch per day? All of them during your breaks, right? You train on top of that, and you fall asleep watching videos too.”

“Sss…”
“I roughly know how your ability works, kid. You shove information into those blue eyes and pull it out during battle, right? Yes or no.”
“Sss.”
“Don’t pretend otherwise. I’ve met plenty of [eye-technique] users like you.”
Eye-Technique (Dong-sul, 曈術).
It refers to abilities related to the eyes.
Ӗn.üm̃ӓ. і d
Dong-sul is extremely unique, and its types and power are bizarre.
But like any powerful ability, it has downsides.

“Hunters with this kind of eye-technique most often break down here—mentally. Because the stimulation goes directly to the brain.”
“Sss.”
“What I mean is, stuffing information in recklessly isn’t always good. Well, your brilliant guild master will manage that part, so let’s move on.”
What Park Gwang-seop wanted to teach Baek Yeon-woo was—
Wе̃b n ōv еl̇ Е̊ n u m ӓ
“The way to organize all those sword techniques you’ve been absorbing like a brute.”
Park Gwang-seop’s [Divine Sword Unification] is the exact opposite of Baek Yeon-woo’s [Heavenly Eye].
[Divine Sword Unification] is an inward path—becoming one with the sword.
[Heavenly Eye] is an outward path—absorbing information through sight.

This is why Lee Shin never showed Yeon-woo Park Gwang-seop’s videos.
The two traits are so opposite that even imitating them would only give surface-level results; understanding the essence is hard.
Ӗ n u m а
Yet because they’re opposites, their combination is theoretically the most ideal synergy.
“But seriously, do you not have a girlfriend? Love is the best stress reliever. Want me to set you up?”
“…Fuck.”
“Hehehe.”
In theory. Only in theory…

Meanwhile, as the trio further honed their talents together with their national team seniors, the Mir Guild was boiling with heat.
“Faster! Hey! Faster!”
“Match the line. You need to stick closer!”
“Hey, the timing is off. We clearly agreed to fire the magic like this, so why are you slow!”
Training went on as usual, no different in time or schedule than any other day. It should have been the same……
So why were their voices getting louder and more combative?
Ŵёb̈n̂оv ӗ l E ǹū m а
They slammed shoulders into chests as blunt, edged-less weapons swung through the air.
Blood was seen here and there. Faces and skin were covered in bruises. Despite this being training, they charged at each other as if to really kill.

Even Lee Hye-jeong, who was normally gentle, spat harsh words today.
“Get in properly! Is this all you can do, put in more power! Hey! Don’t get distracted! Can’t you do it right?! Is this seriously the best you guys can do!”
“Hye-jeong, you’re going to kill them!”
“Move, Mal-sook. They won’t grow if they collapse from just this! Get up, all of you. Don’t you want to play as starters?! Didn’t you hear what the boss said?!”
Еn̆ um а_. і d
That was right.
The reason the training grounds were so combative, the reason the tankers were panting and crashing forward.
The reason the dealers were swinging weapons and firing magic like mad, and the supporters were tumbling around in a heap.
The reason Mama Hye-jeong, with such regretful eyes, was forcing out harsh words she didn’t mean.

It was all because of what Lee Shin had said.
— “As you all know, Park Su-bin, Baek Yeon-woo, and Yu Ri-ra—those three have left for the national team. Yes, it’s shocking. Being on the national team at 19 and 21, it’s insane.”
W е̇b ñ о v̆ eĺ Ē n̆ ǔ m̆ ӓ
— “So, are you jealous?”
Lee Shin stood before them in the familiar look of his shirt with a suit jacket draped over his shoulders.
Without even his usual favorite ‘concept,’ he spoke very seriously.
Was this really the time to be envying them?
— “Are those three impressive? I know. They’re geniuses. I’ll be honest. I picked them myself, but those crazy babies are out-of-spec lunatics. I’m sure those of you who lived with them know that even better.”
That was true.

They learn one thing and understand ten; learn ten and understand a hundred.
Today they’re different, tomorrow they’re different, and the moment you take your eyes off them, they’re already far ahead.
Competitiveness only works within a certain range. If the gap is too large, you lose even the slightest will to fight.
To them, Lee Shin’s kids were such beings.
However—
— “But you know what? You all are also people I selected.”
Е̌n̊u̇ m̃_а̄.і́ď
Lee Shin urged them on in the way most characteristic of him.
— “Just because they’re geniuses, does that mean you aren’t? No. You’re geniuses too. Mal-sook here is sturdier than most rankers. She may not be flashy, but she’s someone the guild absolutely needs. Yong-jae here—he’s an all-purpose dealer who can do both melee and ranged while even covering elemental attacks. And then there’s Young-ho.”

Empty praise? Meaningless encouragement?
That wasn’t Lee Shin’s style. He told them their talents in concrete, objective facts.
He awakened the genius lying dormant inside them.
— “Understand? Just like they’re geniuses, you’re geniuses too. Now you stand on the same line. If geniuses stand together, what must they do? Hye-jeong?”

— “Compete! Struggle!!”
Competition in a team is inevitable. Team 2 versus Team 1, starters, positions— we must always compete to become a stronger team.
Such competition will make us better players, lift the team higher, and ultimately……
— “Lead us there.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just like the blue sky he pointed to would lead them to the freest, most glorious place.
— “Now, let’s look at the situation again. Our proud crazy babies have left for the national team. Three spots are empty, you see?”
En ǔ m̄ а̂
— “Let’s see…we happen to have one raid match and three arena matches coming up. My my, doesn’t that already excite you?”
I chose you. Those I pick are geniuses.
I know your talent better than anyone.
I know how much you are growing, who is stronger— I never get that wrong.
So you will be evaluated purely by skill.
— “What are you doing, not seizing the opportunity?”

It was time for competition for the starting roster.
And then—
“Come at me! Shoot!”
“Get up, we’re going again.”
“Aaaargh!!”
It was time to prove themselves.

— “Hello everyone. This is Baek Seong-je for the broadcast of Round 63’s [Mir Guild] VS [Saeun Guild]. As always, joining me is commentator Choi Moon-seong.”

— “Hello, I’m Choi Moon-seong. Wow, already Round 63. There’s really not much left now.”
— “We’ve now entered the later half of the league. And Mir Guild is still holding on to first place.”
— “Undefeated in arena battles! Highest points!! At this rate another great legend will be written.”
— “That’s true but……”

— “Ohh, are you bringing that up? The departure of the starter trio.”
— “It’s strange to call it a ‘departure’ when they’re wearing the national team uniform, but it’s true that the team is weakened.”
— “To make matters worse, their opponent at this timing happens to be Saeun Guild. They’re mid-tier but capable of a big play.”
— “How will Mir Guild respond? That will be the key point of this match.”

Fans and the commentators were all curious.
Since Lee Shin had spoken so confidently, he wouldn’t just coolly give up the match—he would twist things however necessary. How would Mir Guild, how would San-wang, overcome this crisis?

Then the first answer was revealed.
— “Oh……!”
— “Amazing. Are they really going with this?”
— “L-let me tell you right away. Jungle: Mountain King Kim Jong-pil. Support: Kim Yu-shin. Top: the former Team 1 starting tanker, Kang Mal-sook. ADC: Shin Yong-jae. And……”
— “This one is unexpected.”
— “Mid is—”

Mid: Lee Hye-jeong.
— “Lee Hye-jeong, the captain of Team 2, will be making her major arena debut. And in mid, a position she has never stood in even once!!”
