The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 42
◈ Episode 42 School Competition (4)
Although the team matches held on the second day of the school competition were a little shorter than the others, they were actually called the flower of the competition.
From the perspective of those just watching the competition, the team match was very spectacular.
Of course, there are such spectacular performances in the individual competition on the first day, but it is only one or two matches.
In fact, since the individual competition was a 1:1 format, nothing spectacular could come out.
But what about team battles?
Unlike individual matches where each other’s skills are combined and the game ends as soon as there is a slight gap, in team matches where there is a certain amount of time, once a fight breaks out, you can see a very spectacular display.
That’s why people liked team battles the most, and it was the same for the guild scouts.
‘No matter how strong you are, teamwork is important.’
A guild is basically a group.
And groups basically take collective action.
Starting when entering a dungeon, exploring the labyrinth, catching evildoers, and handling various other tasks, the guild basically acts as a group.
But in a world where group action is so important, teamwork is not good?
No matter how powerful you are, if your teamwork is not good, you have no choice but to reconsider your thoughts.
Obviously, force is a very important factor, but it should not destroy the teamwork of a group.
Therefore, the world’s best scouts, who are currently turning on their eyes in the stadium, were checking teamwork, an essential virtue of the group, in this team match.
In any case, although their perspectives were different, people in the industry and the general public were watching, wondering what would happen to the game that had just begun.
Yes,
until just 10 minutes ago.
“….”
There was silence in the stadium.
White Man, who had been bragging a while ago that the hero would definitely win this team match, was also concentrating on the screen that was turned on in the middle of the stadium.
The person who was yelling with his friend to win, saying that he will definitely take first place this time, is also concentrating blankly on the screen with his mouth open.
And the same applies to those who were swearing at Kim Joo-hyuk, asking why he was going out alone and showing off even though it was a team match a little while ago.
They were all focused on the main, enlarged screen.
That’s right too.
[Logan Jr. Exit.]
[Kim Joo-hyuk +1 point]
[Melissa Artbell. Exit.]
[Kim Joo-hyuk +1 point]
[Ibella is old. Exit.
[Kim Joo-hyuk +1 point]
This was because the current main screen showed scenes they had never seen before in school competitions.
And Rover Jack, who was watching the main screen in such a shocking situation, was thinking blankly with his mouth open.
‘What on earth… happened?’
Rover Jack muttered absently and recalled what he had said to his students yesterday.
‘It’s okay, I didn’t win because Kim Joo-hyuk was stronger than I thought, but I can definitely win this team match.’
‘Ibella, you, old man, take charge of the vanguard and take your time. Infuse the shield with magic to prevent enemies from reaching Logan for 10 seconds.’
‘Logan Jr., gather as much power of ‘destruction’ as you can while Ibella blocks it. Limit? Don’t use such trivial words. Since the bracelet protects you, you won’t die anyway. All you have to do is gather as much as you can and make a fist.’
‘Melissa, when Logan Jr. is amplifying his abilities, strengthen Logan Jr.’s abilities with the simple magic circle you prepared in advance, in an area-based manner rather than focusing on one point. The ability is unleashed like a shotgun exploding.’
‘Of course, Luke and Dane’s roles are important, but the core strategy of this team is Ibella Logan Melissa. There are three of you. If you three do it right, there’s no way you’ll lose in a team battle.’
I remember what he said to his students in a confident voice.
And Rover Jack still didn’t think the strategy was wrong.
Although Rover Jr.’s ‘destruction’ is foolish, it is clearly strong, and if he receives the effects of Melissa’s strengthening magic circle, the foolish destruction could be close to the destruction used by his father, Logan.
To the ‘destruction’ of Logan, known as The One among numerous contractors!
‘There wouldn’t have been a problem, there wouldn’t have been a problem…!’
Rover Jack turned back time in his head.
The return time was a short period of less than 50 seconds.
However, in less than 50 seconds, the hero team was virtually destroyed.
‘Kim Joo-hyuk…!’
The reason is because of Kim Joo-hyuk.
Clearly, the hero team had established itself as a very stable structure as Rover Jack said, and then Kim Joo-hyuk appeared.
Just by myself, without bringing any other team members with me.
And that was the end of it.
That’s it.
‘Well, there’s no need to explain it.’
Kim Joo-hyuk appeared and simply drew his sword, and the students prepared to attack as instructed by Rover Jack.
And they were all destroyed.
From what Rover Jack saw with his own eyes, no further description or thought was necessary.
Why?
‘…It’s strange that I’m thinking about it even though I’m not even an opponent to begin with.’
If the opponent had been even 5 to 1, Rover Jack would have watched the scene and thought about how to resolve the situation on the spot.
However, there was nothing like that in the match between Kim Joo-hyuk and the hero students.
Kim Joo-hyuk took care of three students in an instant without having to deal with such a strategy in the first place.
‘As he rushed in, he slashed at Ibella once, hit Logan’s face with the scabbard as he panicked as he rushed in, and then slashed at Melissa who was running away from the side.’
and.
[Luke Derick. Exit.]
[Kim Joo-hyuk +1 point]
[It’s okay. Exit.]
[Kim Joo-hyuk +1 point]
[All members of ‘Hero’ Academy are eliminated.]
[3rd place]
Rover Jack then looks at Luke and Dane, who were eliminated in an instant.
“…That’s a student?”
I muttered that with a hollow laugh.
“What the fuck!? “What did you just do!?”
“What????????”
“It’s gone!”
“That’s crazy!!!”
Contrary to the empty laughter, the stadium started to heat up in an instant.
####
[Team battle results announced.]
[1. Valhalla Academy]
[2. White Lotus Association]
[3. [Hero Academy]
The game ended so quickly that there was no need to explain anything after that.
Some people seemed to think that a martial arts-centered White Lotus Association might show some tiki-taka with Kim Joo-hyuk, but the results were disastrous.
The match ended with White Lotus being defeated by Kim Joo-hyuk in 38 seconds, 32 seconds faster than Hero Academy, which was destroyed in 1 minute and 10 seconds.
Thanks to that, this inter-school team match became legendary in many ways.
[
School competition I
just got the chicken, but it looks like a dog.]
[I want to eat squid: But it definitely left an impact haha. It took 1 minute and 10 seconds to clean up, and 38 seconds to clean up the white lotus hahaha.] [Obobobo contractor: Hahahaha Kim Joo-
hyuk Damn solo, I’ll feel sorry for this.]
[The guy who looks like a piece of rice cake: Honestly, this is something that Kim Joo-hyuk needs to investigate. How can a student have such skills? Is the 1-second cut of Logan, who signed a constellation contract, real?] People will spend at least an
hour People called it a legend because the match was supposed to end in 23 minutes, and
people also called it a legend because they pulled out many scenes where Kim Joo-hyuk was a legend even though the match ended in 23 minutes.
People also mocked other Academy students who were robbed by just one person, saying they were legends.
And the person who has created so many ‘legendary’ streets even now.
“Tttttttt.”
“….”
“Ttttttt.”
“….”
“Ttttttt?”
During the one-hour break given before entering ‘Snow of the Forest,’ he was teasing So-yeon Yoo diligently.
“Hey, Ttungtung, welcome back~”
“Don’t call me Ttungtung!!”
Yoo So-yeon screams with an expression full of exasperation at Kim Joo-hyuk’s teasing.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk still spoke with a sly smile.
“Then will you call me Ppaek?”
“I don’t like it!?”
Yoo So-yeon with a straight face.
“uh? You bet but you don’t keep your bet? “You decided not to give a shit, right?”
“Isn’t this shit!?”
“That guy who’s crying?”
“Don’t copy me!”
“Don’t repeat me~”
“Don’t imitate me!!”
“Trrhaji mlag~”
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Yoo So-yeon shows anger at Kim Joo-hyuk’s teasing by bursting into laughter.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke without blinking despite Yoo So-yeon’s anger.
“Wow, don’t be so angry. “Is high blood pressure scary?”
“Who made me angry just now!?”
“You made me angry? Am I just keeping my promise? You bet with me, right? “If I win, I’ll call you Tteottungi.”
“That’s you!”
“no way? “You decided to bet, but you pretend not to notice when you lose?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk grinned and muttered, Yoo So-yeon kept her mouth shut.
Because what he said was definitely right.
Although Kim Joo-hyuk made a provocation, Yoo So-yeon fell for his provocation and accepted the bet, and it is also true that she lost.
“Tttttttt.”
“Uggggukgeuk-!”
That’s why, when Kim Joo-hyuk once again called Yoo So-yeon “dong-dong,” she gritted her teeth and glared at him.
‘This is fun.’
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled as he looked at Yoo So-yeon showing such a reaction.
Well, actually, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t particularly like making fun of people, and he didn’t have any hobbies like that.
‘The more I looked, the more they resembled each other.’
In the case of Yoo So-yeon, her personality was very similar to someone Kim Joo-hyuk knew 300 years ago.
‘Their pride is so strong and they react to every single tease to the point of having a fit. It really seems like the same thing, doesn’t it? Of course, the appearance is completely different.’
Anyway, thanks to that, Kim Joo-hyuk teased Yoo So-yeon with a feeling of being lost in memories, as if the old feeling had returned.
“Arin Choi! Try to stop him! “You keep calling me ddung!”
Yoo So-yeon gritted her teeth and quickly tried to get help from Choi A-rin who was next to her.
“…I think it’s kind of cute.”
Choi A-rin trampled on Yoo So-yeon’s help with a rather serious expression.
The result lasted for 30 minutes.
“이 개새끼야!! Let’s fight together! “Let’s have a fight!!!”
In the end, Yoo So-yeon forgot that this was a lounge on one side of the stadium and went on a rampage with her sword drawn.
There isn’t that much left.
“Now then, let’s begin the final event of the inter-school competition, ‘Survival’ in the Snow of the Great Forest.”
Kim Joo-hyuk entered the ‘Snow of the Forest’, the final competition of the school competition that he had been reluctant to participate in.
And at that moment-
-it began. I think the students will now enter the snowy forest.
“Then can we start slowly?”
-I’ll start right away when you give the signal.
“Okay then, shall we get started?”
The three murders of one believer have begun to move.
