Chapter 242 (2/2)
‘They are related to Director Shin Taeil...’
Why else would they act so badly? However, Director Shin Taeil was from the Korean Gaming Federation. The director simply tolerated anything they did. Lim Changyong tried to request that they be expelled, but the federation didn’t accept it. Rather, he was the one who was threatened to be expelled if he kept asking. For this reason, Lim Changyong had to endure it. He was told that he would be expelled if he informed the other players about it. It went without saying that Lim Sara would be included with him.
‘Shit...’
Lim Changyong’s shaking hands made Lim Sara close her mouth with a confused expression. Just then, Mido came up with the other players to comfort him.
“It has already happened so what can we do?”
“We just have to do our job.”
“I am fine. I’ll keep an eye on the flag bearer.”
“Have strength, Hyung.”
The players didn’t lose hope even in this desperate situation. The ashamed Lim Changyong gritted his teeth and, based on what they had practiced, gave the players the orders, “Formation A. Protect the flag bearer.”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The South Korean members started to build a formation around Kim Donghyun. Now there was less than 10 seconds in the countdown.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
[The flag battle has started.]
[Good luck to you.]
* * *
-The one minute that felt like a year has passed.
-Who will be the flag bearer of the South Korean team?
-The results of the choice will soon be revealed.
-The moment that everyone is concerned about is here...
-The match has begun.
The moment the commentators finished speaking, the countdown disappeared and the match started. For security, no one would know the identity of the flag bearer except for the players. It was the same for the camera director, the audience, and the commentators.
“Hrmm.”
I crossed my arms and focused on the match. On the screen, players from different countries were moving from the outskirts to the forest. Some teams were hiding in the bushes while some were running to the pyramid in the middle. It was interesting that every country had different strategies. What exactly would South Korea do? Finally, the Korean team appeared on the screen.
-This is surprising.
-It seems the flag bearer of the South Korean team is Kim Donghyun.
-I thought Kim Hyeonu would do it.
-Well, there was a meeting between players so they should have some ideas. Still, it isn’t a bad choice. The formation looks solid.
-That’s right. Kim Donghyun also has a warrior class that wears heavy armor. If Kim Hyeonu protects Kim Donghyun and the Joker, Kim Haeil, appears, I think they can last long enough.
-It is time to believe in the unity of the players.
-However, there is a serious situation. Right now, the Brazilian players are waiting in ambush. They will be hit if they do something wrong.
-Ah! Kim Cheol has discovered the ambush and his sniper rifle is firing!
Taaang!
Kim Cheol’s sniper rifle emitted fire as a penetrating magic bullet shot toward the enemies. The audience shouted in excitement at the sudden battle.
“Gazua!”
“It shows South Korea’s potential!”
“Have strength, South Korea!”
There was a sudden shootout on the screen. Wild animals and the Brazilian team came from all sides and Lim Changyong and Lim Sara started firing. Once Park Jangsoo was added, it was like a scene like the secret forces were slaughtering wild animals.
-Amazing! The South Korean players!
-The government has recruited players from Sudden Force for today and they are showing their amazing potential!
-Every shot has hit. The hit rate of Lim Sara is amazing! She truly is a former national shooter. Her magic bullet has the ‘induction’ attribute.
-Wahhhh!
The screams of the Korean players filled my ears. I frowned and kept focusing on the match.
...Strange. It felt like they were going to get involved in something real soon. Sure enough, my premonition was correct.
-Ahh! Brazil’s captain, Carlos, is falling from the sky!
-The Beast Master has transformed into a giant bird and is aiming for the South Korean team!
-Ah! No one is paying attention to the sky because they are caring about their surroundings! Quickly! Carlos!
“Ahh, no.”
“Oh my!”
“This...”
The sighs of my family members were heard as a Brazilian player called Carlos aimed at Kim Donghyun, who was located in the middle, with sharp claws. Kim Donghyun’s fl.u.s.tered face darkened and everyone thought he would launch a strong attack at Carlos. It was the same for me. The audience would’ve been the same.
However, a scene I never thought of came out.
-Ah! Kim Donghyun has pushed Kim Hyeonu and made him get caught instead.
-What is this?! It is a serious problem! The formation has collapsed!
-Ahh! The Korean team’s formation is destroyed! It is a serious problem!
-Kim Hyeonu has fallen from the air and died instantly!
-Kim Haeil has belatedly appeared as the Joker, but it is too late!
-Ahh! Player Kim Donghyun!
In an instant, Carlos transformed into a monster resembling a black panther and quickly bit the back of Kim Donghyun’s neck. Just then, a system message appeared on the screen.
[The South Korean team’s flag has been captured.]
[The South Korean team has been eliminated.]
A cold silence wrapped around the audience seats due to the first match’s shocking start. The Korean team was eliminated first and the number of points they got was zero. It could be said to be the worst start.
