Chapter 14

EP.14 We decided to call this training.

Haaa.

Only the smoke from the cigarette, instead of a sigh, rose along the building's outer wall and soon disappeared.

Kim Hoon, the director of 'After,' didn't care about the cigarette burning down to the filter as he absentmindedly pressed his palm to his forehead.

Because the throbbing in his head was almost at its limit.

He was a chronic migraine sufferer.

Moreover, his luck hadn't been good lately, and several events had been troubling him.

The discord with his girlfriend, whom he had promised to marry,

The hand that his immature younger brother kept extending even though he was in his mid-twenties,

The landlord who confidently said he would raise the rent.

But if someone were to ask what was troubling his head the most right now,

He could answer without hesitation.

The screams of curses that kept ringing out from the conversation inside the computer.

- Director, where are you?! Director! Director!! This is wrong!! Help me!!

- Why did you pick me? Why did you pick me? Why did you pick me? Why did you pick me? Why did you pick me? Why did you pick me?

- Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me… Just kill me…

- Help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

It was clearly an auditory hallucination.

Because the landlord had firmly stated that smoking was not allowed, he had to go completely outside the building to smoke.

But those voices were playing vividly in his ears as if they were stuck.

Yes, it was the screams of the players on his team.

He had heard so many of those half-complaining, half-cursing words that they wouldn't leave his ears.

How did things get to this point?

He clutched his head and recalled the past.

So, right after the auction, he invited them to Discord to form the team.

It was awkward at first, but the Warrior and the Healer tried to lead the conversation, and the other team members gradually joined in, which was good.

Yes, it was definitely fine up to that point.

The Warrior, who he had bought for 920 points, said 'Let's do our best' without any airs, and the Hold Medic's cute voice, characteristic of a girl, made a slight stutter as she shyly said 'Fighting!' which made the voice chat room burst into laughter, which was also good.

Then, from that point on?

When Parpechino said, 'I'm confident in playing an Indigo Rogue, please trust me'?

When the Healer said, 'This! This tournament! I'm ready!' with a show of bravado?

When Mohae, who still hadn't shed his childish voice, said, 'Trust me, seniors, winning is a sure thing'?

Or,

When the 'Paladin' who had asked for a moment to step out, joined late and said in a strangely lethargic but more alluring voice, 'Please take care of me'?

Not even that.

Then,

Was it when he lost to Director Malang, whom he had agreed to play with beforehand because of their friendship, right after forming the team?

Was it from there?

The content of the casual one-game match, which proceeded due to the late hour, was quite thrilling.

Kill score 48:54. The intense game that lasted a full 55 minutes ended in a regrettable loss due to the Warrior and Mohae's mistakes.

The Warrior fought hard, but due to the presence of Geuntae, who relentlessly marked and harassed the Paladin, he couldn't receive support and eventually fell, ending the game.

Everyone was disappointed, and as the director, he pointed out each of their issues.

The Warrior had no problems. In fact, there shouldn't be any. If a 920-point player had flaws, it would have been a real problem.

The Paladin. She exceeded expectations.

How could this be a Yellow 4? She kept showing plays that made him exclaim.

He had worried that the team's overall carrying power might be lacking because he had to pick a Yellow as a healer due to the lack of points, but that one game put his mind at ease.

Based on his past experience as a player and coach, he guessed that she was at least an Orange level player.

Especially, her ability to assess the situation was outstanding, making her a reliable talent to handle the main order.

However, there were issues below.

Green 4. Mohae, the Parrying Warrior.

Using the term 'parrying' for a player he had recruited was obviously not right, but he couldn't think of a more appropriate word.

As a Longsword Warrior, he lacked a shield and most of his preferred secondary skills were offensive, making his defense weak. He tried to compensate for this with strange methods.

Defense relies solely on parrying.

If it fails, it often results in at least a serious injury, and most of the time, a quick death.

Even if parrying succeeds, if the opponent is a bit more experienced, he doesn't gain much advantage.

Top-tier players know Mohae's playstyle and calculate their attacks to be parried.

It's a typical high-risk, low-return play. When he pointed this out, Mohae responded dejectedly that he knew but couldn't change it.

At that moment, the Paladin said,

" Mohae, should I teach you? "

" Yes? How? "

" We can create a training room and practice together. Director, is that okay? "

Kim Hoon involuntarily widened his eyes.

Yes, it started from there!

It was a mistake to allow it as if he was under the Paladin's spell!

Mohae, who had just turned twenty and would fantasize at the sound of a woman's voice, laughed happily and readily accepted the Paladin's suggestion to practice alone together.

And... they created a new voice chat room and went in,

Not even an hour later, when the Paladin was nowhere to be found and only Mohae returned,

" Help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm sorry, help me, I'm
