I’m Not Going Pro

[The opposing team has refused the winning streak match.]

,Ah…”

An unexpected refusal.

I thought the opposing team would naturally accept my winning streak proposal.

[Yeona…]

Sohui’s voice reached my ears.

I blankly raised my head and looked up at the sky.

The blue, shining sky in the false world was bright without a single cloud.

Why?

Why won’t they accept it?

I bit my lip and glared at the blue sky.

The opposing team, like Sohui, would be watching me through the screen.

,Hoo…”

I sighed.

Because I realized that nothing would change even if I got angry like this.

The winning streak match was a rule that only proceeded when the opposing team accepted it.

I’m losing energy.

I ended the game and got out of the capsule.

Standing in front of the capsule was, of course, Sohui.

Wearing large headphones, she took them off her head as soon as she found me and stretched out her arms towards me.

,Sohui-ya…”

,Yeah.”

,The opposing team didn’t accept the winning streak match…”

,I know.”

,Why is that…”

I get out of the capsule and approach Sohui with listless steps.

Sohui naturally catches me.

She opened her arms and hugged me, patting my back with her hands.

,Hmph… Rejecting a winning streak match, they’re honorless bastards!”

Ellie, who was watching the game scene through the screen, said angrily.

Seeing her stomping her little feet, she really seemed upset.

She jumped into the capsule before anyone could stop her.

I’m not in a good mood.

It was a chance to show everyone my overwhelming skills.

,They must have been afraid of Hayeon-i.”

,Really…?”

,Of course.”

Is that so?

I nodded at Sohui’s words.

Certainly, with my skills, ordinary people would be afraid.

After all, I had defeated their ace in an instant.

Thinking about it again, the opposing team had only made a perfectly normal decision for the sake of victory.

,Are you feeling better now?”

,Yeah.”

In the end, I ended up sitting on Sohui’s lap and watching Ellie’s game.

The job Ellie chose was, of course, a knight.

Ellie, holding a claymore as big as herself, shouted loudly at the start of the game.

[Do you not know honor!]

Not reality, but a virtual world.

Ellie was now Jupiter, the Knight of Light.

I started looking for the tournament rules with a pale face.

※Disqualification if severe swearing or insulting language is used against the opponent during the game.

A small phrase I found while looking down.

I watched the screen with a nervous heart.

The opponent who was trying to approach Ellie stopped moving with a flustered expression.

Only Ellie was waving her claymore and spewing words.

[I, Jupiter, the Knight of Light, shall judge you!]

Hiyooot!

Ellie starts charging with a declaration of war against the opponent.

But unlike my worries, the game didn’t stop or anything.

Fortunately, the referee watching this game didn’t find Ellie’s words insulting.

Ellie, who charged quickly, swung her sword mercilessly at the flustered opponent.

Because of her lack of strength stats, the opponent didn’t fall easily, but the splendid swordsmanship unfolding from Ellie’s hands was enough to push the opponent back.

Tadatadang-!

Swords clashed and fell apart.

40 seconds into the game.

I frowned.

I could tell from the first clash.

The opponent’s skills were far behind Ellie’s.

But why isn’t there a conclusion?

As I watched the game intently, I was finally able to realize it.

The corners of my lips slightly lifted.

[Hayah!]

Ellie’s sword stretches out with a loud shout.

A beat late attack, as if telling the opponent the direction of her attack.

I was sure of it.

Ellie was acting right now.

Tang-! Kaang!

On the surface, it would look like a close match, or that Ellie was slightly pushed back.

But Ellie was full of余裕. She could take the opponent’s life at any time, but she wasn’t.

The game time is over 2 minutes, approaching 3 minutes.

Ellie’s remaining health is 70%

Compared to that, the opponent’s remaining health was 80%.

At that moment, the opponent seemed to make a desperate move and swung his sword with a big motion.

Ellie didn’t avoid that attack.

She took the attack with her body, with her eyes wide open as if she hadn’t expected the attack.

Kagagak!

The armor she was wearing was shattered, and a large wound was engraved on her chest.

It wasn’t a fatal blow, but the hit took away 30% of her health.

Ellie bit her lip and stabbed her sword as if she realized the situation late.

The opponent’s posture was broken.

Of course, he couldn’t avoid Ellie’s attack.

Kwajik!

A clean hit that pierced the head, even the eye part of the helmet.

The situation ends with a single come-from-behind victory.

The tattered knight raised his sword in that state.

[If you know honor…]

A challenge to an invisible opponent.

Ellie’s sword tip pointed to the blue sky.

[Accept my winning streak match.]

She could have won with an overwhelming difference, but she didn’t.

Ellie was waiting. To deceive the opponent.

She instilled an awareness in them.

The opposing team must have thought.

Is this doable? Isn’t this an opponent we can beat?

Ellie’s remaining health is 40%

If they accepted the winning streak proposal here, Ellie would have to go into the game with only 20% health.

How long has it been?

[The opponent has accepted the winning streak proposal.]

A message that the opposing team had accepted the winning streak match appeared on the screen.

Got them.

Everyone here must have thought.

The opposing team was completely fooled by Ellie’s acting.

A short waiting time given before the next game starts.

I snatched the headphones that Sohui was wearing and put them on my head.

,Ellie.”

[Hayeon? Did you see it? My game?]

,Of course, I was watching.”

[Hoo. Hehe… How was it.]

,It was the best.”

[I knew you would recognize it.]

,Can you do well in the last one?”

[Are you asking the obvious? Have you forgotten who I am?]

,Jupiter, the Knight of Light…”

[Yes. I am the Knight of Light…]

Ellie, no, Jupiter nodded and stared straight ahead without saying a word.

She spent a long time waiting in that state.

Finally, the last opponent appeared.

A knight holding a long sword and a round shield.

It was a setting that showed his will to go defensively despite the favorable situation.

[I won’t drag it out!]

Jupiter’s declaration burst out like a shout.

She started charging towards the opponent.

It may have seemed like a reckless charge to others, but it looked different to me.

When the distance between Jupiter and the opponent narrowed.

The opponent started moving.

A posture of swinging his sword with his shield forward.

Shuuk-!

But that blow didn’t reach Jupiter.

The quickly swung sword only brushed past the end of Jupiter’s hair.

But the opponent’s attack wasn’t over either.

If the attack using the sword is blocked, he swings the shield.

But this time again, the attack didn’t reach Jupiter.

Jupiter avoids all attacks as if she knows the future.

I could tell. The feeling that Jupiter is feeling right now.

She has reached the world where everything except her mind slows down.

The time allowed for Jupiter is less than 1 minute.

Once you start using it, you can’t stop in the middle.

But that was enough for now.

[Hiyah!]

Jupiter’s unique energy-draining shout.

But the swordsmanship unfolded from her hands became sharp teeth and pierced the opponent.

Kwoejijik!

The tip of the sword that went through the chest pierced the opponent’s back and soared into the sky.

A perfectly clean blow.

A very perfect finish.

The opponent was knocked out without even screaming.

[Hoo…]

A sigh that burst out as if spitting out the burning heat.

Jupiter shook off her sword as if declaring her victory.

Tuk-

My 1 win and Jupiter’s 2 wins.

With this, this round of 64 also ended with our team’s victory.

Ellie ends the game and gets out of the capsule.

I hurried to Ellie.

As expected, Ellie was limp and showed no reaction.

,Ugh…”

It’s like a broken doll.

I pulled Ellie out of the capsule and sat down on the floor.

If it were Deron, he would have carried Ellie around like a sack of rice with his overflowing strength, but this is reality.

In reality, I was just a weak and fragile pretty girl.

,So, Sohui-ya…”

The only person who can help me in this situation is, of course, Sohui.

Sohui looked down at Ellie and sighed.

,Search Ellie’s pockets.”

,Ellie’s pockets…?”

I nodded at Sohui’s words and put my hand into Ellie’s pocket.

The inside of the pocket where I could feel her soft thighs.

After fidgeting with my hands for a while, I was able to take out a small plastic container.

,Is this it…?”

,That’s right. Put the pill in her mouth and pour water, and she’ll wake up soon.”

There was a white pill in the plastic container.

Pill…

I took the pill out of the plastic container, swallowed my saliva, and looked into Ellie’s mouth.

A limp tongue.

Saliva flowing down it.

I stretch out my finger and push the pill into Ellie’s mouth.

Sticky and soft.

The sensation of the mucous membrane intertwined on my finger.

I feel strangely strange.

Now that I’ve put the pill in her mouth, it’s time to pour water.

I brought a plastic water bottle nearby and poured water into Ellie’s mouth.

How long has it been?

An employee came and handed me the documents like yesterday, and 5 more minutes passed.

,Ah-“

I was worried and looked down at Ellie for a long time.

Finally, a voice flowed from Ellie’s mouth.

The light returned to her lifeless eyes, and her limp arms and legs began to wriggle as if asserting themselves.

,Hot!”

Ellie, who seemed to have completely regained her energy, suddenly stood up.

She patted her body here and there and nodded.

There seems to be nothing wrong with her body condition.

Ellie was completely resurrected.
