Chapter 78 – Key

&R;&e;&a;&d;& ;&o;&n;& ;&K;&a;&t;&R;&e;&a;&d;​&i;&n;&g;&C;&a;&f;​&e;​

I realized that Lee Jungjin’s user was quite skilled at wrestling-like fighting when swords were locked together.

Lee Jungjin’s user’s close combat, perfectly handling how to use strength and swords, was far superior to what I had imagined.

Aiming for that, I deliberately took the stance to cast the Assassin’s movement skill and induce wrestling.

As expected, Lee Jungjin’s user grabbed my body and threw me down, and the moment I confirmed Lee Jungjin’s user’s attack, I moved behind Lee Jungjin’s user.

A completely defenseless back.

Lee Jungjin’s user’s attack was already applying force to the floor where I had been, and there was no way for anyone to attack me from behind.

I sensed victory and was about to attack Lee Jungjin’s user’s defenseless back when—

Thwack!

A one-handed sword pierced my neck.

“Huh!?”

A one-handed sword pierced Lee Jungjin’s user’s stomach and then attacked my neck.

‘Crazy. He attacked by piercing his own stomach like that fighting game character…?’

I hadn’t anticipated it at all.

The one-handed sword entered my vital neck, and my remaining health disappeared in an instant, and the word defeat popped up.

As I was thrown out of the arena, I realized that I had lost.

‘Ah, I lost.’

“Eeeeek!”

It’s unfair. Honestly, I won that. Really.

At the end, Lee Jungjin’s user had 25% of his remaining health, and I had 15%.

Originally, when a sword enters a place like the abdomen, the damage is about 10%. So even if Lee Jungjin’s user pierced his own stomach, about 15% would remain.

In other words, even if a sword pierced my stomach, 5% of health would remain, and considering the Assassin’s health and defense, 1~2% would definitely remain.

In that state, if my Assassin skill had hit Lee Jungjin’s user’s defenseless back, I would have definitely won.

But…

“To think that because I’m short, Lee Jungjin’s user pierced his stomach, but the attack hit my neck…”

If I had been just 5cm taller. No, even if I had been just 3cm taller, the sword wouldn’t have hit my neck, but my upper body. Then I would have survived Lee Jungjin’s user’s last attack and killed Lee Jungjin’s user.

But because of the height difference, the opponent took damage to the stomach, and I took damage to the vital neck.

“It’s unfair!!!”

‘If it had been my old body… No, it’s because of Arang’s talent that I’ve come this far.’

I’m very upset about losing now, but the current situation itself is absurd.

No matter how talented I am at the game, for a child who has been playing the game for only 2~3 months and started PVP 3 days ago to go all the way to Grandmaster with no losses and even see the possibility of winning against the strongest Korean user of last year.

‘I’ll definitely win next time…! Wait a minute…’

I was slightly confused by the emotions of being upset, angry, and feeling like I was about to cry.

‘I guess I have to say that these are my emotions now.’

I’m aware that my emotional control has weakened a lot since my last period.

I think that as I live as Arang, I’m changing to match Arang’s body and mind.

Well, it’s not like I feel bad. I just don’t have any thoughts as I go with the flow!

‘It’s not like I’m bad at the game. And as I change to a younger mind, I seem to enjoy the game even more.’

If it were me in the past, I would have approached everything from updates, raids, and GuildRaid Groups in a stiff, picky, and annoying way.

But now, I find every little thing fun.

Still… Losing makes me angry!!!

I’ll definitely win next time. I will win.

To do that… I think I need to study.

Not studying about the game, but studying about swordsmanship.

‘No. If I think about it now, my mind has become younger, so there’s no way I can study.’

Studying is a no-go. I still have to face it directly. I’ll grow while fighting because I have the physical skills and talent for my body.

“No, is Lee Arangnim really 15 years old? I was really chilled to the bone at the end.”

-Wow, I thought Lee Jungjin nim would win overwhelmingly, but from the middle, Arangnim was doing crazy well

-Agility due to the Assassin in a small body and even physical skills, she’s a talented person lol

-She doesn’t have the physical skills of a 15yearold

“She’s at the level of going up against a decent pro? No. She’s at the level of going up against a top-tier pro.”

-Is it that much?

-Hey, it’s not that much.

“It’s real. I can bet everything I have—no, that’s a bit much. I can bet all the gold I have right now that Arangnim will be in the top 50 of Challenger within a month.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at him taking out insurance in case he doesn’t know

-Jungjin nim is evaluating her that highly wow

“It’s an unbelievable talent. I don’t know if I would have known if Arangnim wasn’t an Assassin but a Sword Master?”

-That’s right. Her main job was originally Sword Master, right?

-Sword Master but it got normalized

-Yeah, but overall it’s an upgrade

-Arangnim was using Parrying so crazily alone that the Parrying skill disappeared and she switched to Assassin

“Honestly, to some extent, I even want to scout her to our team?”

-??

-Wow, really?

-He’s thinking that much wow

“Oh? The whispers are blocked and the friend requests are blocked too? Is there no way to contact her?”

-Yeah lol There’s no way to contact Arangnim

-Even the interviews are all done through Kang Hangil lol

-Seriously, Kang Hangil is the only way to contact her lol

-He’s almost at the level of Arangnim’s manager lol

“You’re talking about streamer Kang Hangil nim, right? I see.”

Lee Jungjin, who is seriously thinking about Arang as more than just empty words, nodded at the method the viewers told him and contacted his manager.

To ask Kang Hangil if he could meet Arang.

‘If there was no physical difference, could I have won?’

The height difference alone seemed to be 30cm, and since she was even holding a dagger, the reach difference was considerable.

Of course, LEORE is not simply a fighting sport but a virtual reality game.

In the end, skills and physical skills in the virtual world are important, so the importance of body size, height, and physical differences is much lower than in reality.

It’s just that the difference becomes drastic from then on when the skills are the same.

‘But are all 15yearolds like that these days?’

She was short at less than 150cm and had weak-looking arms and legs that didn’t even seem to be able to hold a 2L water bottle.

‘Or is she just small? Still, she’s 15 years old, so she’s in her growth spurt now, so she’ll grow quickly. Even if she only goes up to the average female body size, she’ll be chewing up the arena?’

She was a very promising child.

[Lee Jungjin VS Lee Arang] [152]

I was watching our Jungjin hyung’s broadcast at 3 am and the opponent was Arangnim lol

Arangnim is a Grandmaster, but it seems that there was no one to match with because it was dawn, so the matching range widened and they met

Wow, Arangnim has talent, but she pushed Jungjin hyung to the very end.

Especially when she responded to the last throw with a movement skill counter, I was also surprised.

But Jungjin hyung, who countered that counter again, is also amazing lol

(Picture)

The funniest thing is the last scene.

Jungjin hyung just attacked Arangnim who was behind him, but because of the height difference, the sword went into her neck and she was judged to have attacked a vital point and lost lol

She lost because of the height difference.

Honestly, it’s a virtual world, so physical differences aren’t important, but if there’s this much difference, it seems like a lot lol

[Comments]

It’s because Lee Jungjin is unbelievably good, it doesn’t mean Arangnim is bad

ㄴFrom the beginning, she went to Grandmaster with 0 losses, so she’s not bad lol

ㄴReal, if you tell the pros now to go to Grandmaster with 0 losses from the beginning, they’ll all fail?

ㄴI don’t think so, the people who will succeed will succeed?

ㄴYeah, how big is the difference between Grandmaster and Challenger

When I saw it, Arangnim will go to Challenger soon

ㄴYeah, it seems like she’ll definitely go

ㄴI wonder if she’ll go within a month as Lee Jungjin said

First method for me to get stronger.

Work out hard.

Today I will become a Magikarp.

“Arang is so motivated today?”

As Hyesun Unnie said, I’m full of motivation.

I worked out harder than ever, flapping around to create muscles that didn’t exist at all.

I also moved my arms and legs diligently in the jumping jack posture.

I have a lot of water, so sweat was constantly flowing down, but today I’m completely naked!

I told Hyesun Unnie that it was hard to work out because I was sweating a lot, so I got permission to work out naked.

Hyesun Unnie wiped my sweat with a towel every time I sweated, so I was able to finish my workout without feeling uncomfortable.

As always, after finishing rehabilitation training and exercise, I went into the bathroom to take a half-body bath to loosen my body before washing off the sweat and getting a massage.

The moment Hyesun Unnie was holding me and trying to get into the bathtub, my vision was turned upside down in an instant.

“Huh?”

I saw the ceiling and Hyesun Unnie’s naked body came into view.

Splash!

My vision blurred in an instant, and water entered my nose and mouth, and I couldn’t breathe.

At that moment, I realized that I had fallen into the bathtub.
