### Chapter 48: Clash
* * *
The scenery changes when you stand in a different place.
I have gradually come to realize this in recent times.
In the past, I thought everything I enjoyed was simply a given.
That's because I had lived that way.
Mother always considered me, Father always did everything for me, and my younger brother was always cautious.
However, recently, I have come to realize that all of this was a result of my arrogance, stemming from my ignorance and naivety.
I just thought it was that way.
I had taken for granted that everything I enjoyed came naturally, that I was entitled to it.
All this time, my family has been sacrificing for me, even if I didn't realize it.
A recent example is our house.
Although I didn't realize it until now, it turns out that we could have lived in a much better, larger house.
However, my parents chose our living environment with the utmost consideration to avoid any negative influence on me.
For me, and only for me.
"...I'll have to pay it back slowly."
I'm not sure if it's because I've only seen negative examples on the internet, but it's not uncommon for parents to abandon their children these days.
I don't think it's a given that parents should naturally provide for their children.
"I will definitely succeed."
The most certain way to repay my parents' dedication and love is through my success.
Isn't it said that nothing makes parents happier than their child's success?
Therefore...
I will succeed.
As the professional gamer I've always dreamed of becoming.
"Shall we go now?"
"Sure."
The new house was quite to my liking.
Not only was it much larger than my old room, but the unobstructed view and the ability to arrange my room to my taste from the beginning were very appealing.
Well... if the penthouse of a luxury apartment doesn't suit me, that would be another problem.
"Get in."
"Sure."
On the way back, I stared blankly out the window and then turned on my smartphone.
I usually get motion sickness in the car and don't use my smartphone, but I couldn't help it because I was so curious.
As usual, when I logged into the League of Legends community, one of the recently uploaded posts caught my eye.
(Sarcastic) You finally came out, and you're just staring at your phone.
...I flinched for a moment but continued reading the list of posts without much concern.
(Data Warning) Prisoner reaches 1900 points

Rainbow's recent broadcast status.avi
Rainbow's opinion: Yun-gi is better than Prisoner
Opinion: Honestly, if Prisoner's writing is bad, it's a downvote lol
OMD, stop the fake posts. How many Prisoner posts are on one page? If you're going to do this, make a separate board f**k
The controversy surrounding Prisoner had become so heated that it went beyond mere interest.
'Hmm.'
Regardless, I clicked on each post one by one.

After taking a few days off after reaching 1800 points, he achieved a 7-game winning streak in just one day lol

Is it really true that he gained 100 points in just one day? It makes my heart swell. Prisoner is truly a legend...
Where are all the people who used to dismiss Prisoner as an amateur? Where are all the people who used to dismiss Prisoner as an amateur? Where are all the people who used to dismiss Prisoner as an amateur?
(Info) The recent players who got stomped by Prisoner—Haoran, Nightmare, Yun-gi, Rainbow, and Jusim—are all Red Cup winners and runners-up.
There's something strange in there.
Is it even possible to match up with them?
They're being targeted by streamers and BJs mindlessly lol Anyway, they're just aggroing.
Is it really true that they're still getting stomped even after targeting him? Jusim is truly a legend...
Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core! Core!
Go back to your base.
Is this the last light before the end? He's really on fire lately.
Solo Rank 1900 points.
It was a historic achievement in the history of League of Legends, accomplished not by a famous pro player but by an amateur, and it couldn't help but become a topic of discussion.
Among them, the most noticeable were the comparison posts with various pro players.
Yun-gi vs. Prisoner
Honestly, Prisoner seems better than Yun-gi, downvote. No, upvote.
Even if Yun-gi is a champion, Prisoner is definitely better than the runner-up Haoran, right?
Please stop pushing an amateur who hasn't even debuted ^mu^
Why can't the Red Cup champion and runner-up junglers reach 1900 points? They can't even reach 1800 points lol
(Fact Check) Both Yun-gi and Haoran, the Red Cup champion and runner-up, were stomped by Prisoner.
(Fact) Prisoner is an amateur.
He's talking about being a pro even though he hasn't debuted lol Are you brainless?
Is that something to brag about? He hasn't even debuted lol Your turn ^mu^
Hmm...
To be honest, if I met them in solo rank now, I'm confident I would win eight out of ten times.
I've changed a lot from the past, and my weaknesses have practically disappeared.
However, in a tournament?
I have no idea. The difference between team games and solo rank is a well-known story, and I have almost no experience with team games.
In the past, pro or second-division teams weren't as systematic as they are now, so I occasionally played a few times as a mercenary in games like Scream. However, recently, I haven't had such opportunities.
"You'll get motion sickness. Look at your phone when we get home."
"I'm fine."
It didn't take long for me to take my mother's warning seriously.
"...I feel like I'm going to throw up."
"Sigh, that's why I told you not to look at your phone. Let's go inside."
To be honest, after becoming a woman, my body was so healthy that I had become complacent.
I thought I wouldn't get motion sickness anymore, but it turned out that car sickness wasn't something to be taken lightly.
"Open the window and drink some water."
"Sure."
Drinking the water from the thermos, the refreshing sensation spread through my body, and the motion sickness seemed to ease a bit.
"Phew..."
Feeling the cool breeze from outside the window, I looked at the surroundings.
People, people, people.
There are fewer people than at the department store, but the bustling crowd is still visible.
Somehow, seeing the crowd as part of the scenery from inside the car, I didn't have a panic attack like before.
'Hmm?'
While looking at the surroundings, a huge sign caught my eye.
[Legend Park]
It was the stadium for League of Legends matches.
'That's what it looks like...'
The stadium I had only seen from the inside in tournament videos was now visible from the outside for the first time.
'Someday...'
I promise.
Even if it's a promise without a set date.
Someday,
I will return to this place.

After arriving home, I took a shower and immediately lay down on the bed.
I needed to go to bed early because I planned to wake up when Rainbow started her solo rank games at night.
"Are you not eating dinner?"
"Yeah, I'm going to sleep."
"Okay."
My irregular sleep schedule wasn't a new thing, so my mother didn't say much.
"Get some rest."
After my mother left the room, I stared at my smartphone for a while before falling asleep.
I was quite tired from the intense day.
.
.
.
"Ugh..."
I instinctively reached for my smartphone on the bedside table when I woke up.
AM 1:12
I had gone to bed around 7:30 PM, so I had slept for a little less than six hours.
Considering my average sleep time, I had slept much less than usual, but I got out of bed right away.
My heart started pounding as soon as I woke up.
"Phew..."
I pressed the power button and did some light stretching while the computer booted up.
Now that I'm healthy, I need to take care of my body.
Once the computer was on, I immediately logged into League of Legends.
'As expected.'
I smiled slightly at one of the IDs in my friend list.

[SY Rainbow]
Online.
+
Sure enough, Rainbow was online.
No need for pleasantries.
From now on, we were enemies.
[Searching for a game...]
As soon as I started queuing, Rainbow's status also changed.
As if she had been waiting.

[SY Rainbow]
Searching for a game...
+
'As expected.'
Rainbow and Yun-gi's duo rank was around 1700 points on average.
Naturally, the probability of matching against a higher MMR team increased when they queued together, and there weren't many mid-jungler pairs with such a high MMR.
Except for me.
Given the already high chance of being targeted in the upper ranks, the probability of a successful target was extremely high.
[Game found!]
[Accept / Decline]
Soon, a game was found,

[SY Rainbow]
Champion selection.

I banned Zed.
