Ranker's Return Chapter 751

[Alley Leader Academy—Middle Aged Newbie’s Bronze Medal Challenge]

Hyeonu’s stream titles were always more stimulating than necessary. Now, just writing ‘…….’ without any content would attract millions of people. It was common for 10-20 million people to watch his live stream.

‘If I stop doing it once, I will never do it again in the future. I will lose my touch.’

There was one reason why Hyeonu was obsessed with the stream titles. If there was no timely title one day when his popularity dropped and fewer viewers were watching his live stream, Hyeonu would be riding a roller coaster straight down. Hyeonu knew better than anyone that his current popularity wasn’t eternal. Therefore, he couldn’t throw away these trivial things.

“Hello viewers, I am Alley Leader. Welcome to my livestream today.” Hyeonu greeted the viewers with his usual greeting.

-Hi Alley Leader~

-Nice to see you.

-Alley Leader, hi.

-Is it a Jamie Moore feature today?

The viewers greeted Hyeonu as usual and asked what the streaming title meant. No, it was the process of checking what they knew. The title Hyeonu wrote was easy for anyone to understand, so there was nothing confusing.

“Yes, today is Jamie Moore’s special feature. It has been quite a while since Jamie Moore started Arena. He has been through many things and has gained quite a lot of levels. Of course, I’m sure he has the mental strength to work hard for a few hours.” Hyeonu gradually solved the curiosity of the viewers.

Anyone who watched Hyeonu’s livestream or watched the videos on A-World would know, but he said it for those who didn’t.

-He is saying he will work Jamie Moore completely.

-He isn’t using the word ‘teaching’ at all anymore.

-Is there a special instructor today?

-It is good for instructors to come out, but honestly, Alley Leader is the most helpful thing for Jamie Moore.

-That is natural. His abilities are different. His teaching skills are different.

The messages of the viewers continued based on Hyeonu’s explanation.

“Of course, it is true that my skills are the best, but… it’s not that others aren’t skilled enough. In addition, isn’t it better for Jamie to learn and gain experience from many people?”

-That is correct.

-A lot of experience is needed to get a good advantage in the rankings.

-In particular, Jamie is worse because Arena is his first virtual reality game.

-It is said that it is good to draw on a blank piece of paper, but later on… my drawing seemed to be a mess ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“Everyone agrees that the foundations need to be built strongly, right? So those who work hard will grow. Think of the beads of sweat you are shedding now as the rankings you will climb later. Do you understand, Jamie?” Hyeonu turned to look at Jamie Moore, who had appeared before he knew it.

“I’ve never been dissatisfied with the way that Master Gang teaches me.” This was said by Jamie Moore who had been standing there with a crumpled expression just now.

-I admit it. Jamie Moore has already respected Alley Leader.

-He said that he respects the teaching methods.

– Of course, it will be different if Sijong hyung-nim comes out.

-Raise your spirits and fight hard if Sijong hyung-nim comes out. It is almost like a bitter enemy. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

All the viewers saw Jamie Moore’s expression, but they just focused on chatting. No one told Hyeonu the truth.

“Yes, that is a very good attitude. Jamie, just follow me. Then I’ll make you a bronze medalist. After all, I have three experiences in creating bronze medalists.”

Choi Yoon, Dwayne, and Yuri—Hyeonu had led the three of them to gain bronze medals.

“Then today, I’ll start the lesson to achieve a bronze medal. Before the actual battle, I will take some time to accurately understand Jamie Moore’s current status.” Hyeonu took the time to check Jamie Moore’s condition before Alley Leader Academy fully started.

‘I don’t know either…’ Hyeonu had recently been busy with the main scenario and New Moon. Last night, he paid special attention to Ray in order to make Ray a diamond ranker. It wasn’t surprising that Jamie Moore was neglected.

-Even Alley Leader doesn’t know.

-I think it is time to check the specs together.

-He will be surprised when Jamie Moore reveals his specs.

-I agree. Let’s be unconditionally surprised together.

The viewers were well aware of how busy Hyeonu had been. They fully understood based on the live streams and videos uploaded to A-World.

Hyeonu shook his head and refuted the viewers’ words, “Hey, why wouldn’t I know? I roughly know the specifications of my academy students.”

-Then announce it first before Jamie Moore opens the status window.

-It doesn’t have to be precise, but let’s try to guess it roughly, okay?

-Plus or minus three will be allowed for the approximation.

-I agree to an error margin of three.

The viewers were very sarcastic.

They were convinced that Hyeonu’s words were false.

‘These people… What do they see me as?’

Hyeonu hadn’t received Jamie Moore’s exact specs, but it was possible to roughly guess it. Jamie Moore must’ve passed through the hunting grounds in the order that Hyeonu had arranged.

“Jamie, what city were you in before?” Hyeonu asked Jamie Moore a question.

If he knew the city, he could find the level of the hunting grounds around it.

“I was in Yusma because I had to meet someone.”

However, Jamie Moore wasn’t easy to deal with either. He acted like a light-hearted person when he met Hyeonu, but he was actually a businessman in New York. There was no way he didn’t know what Hyeonu’s question meant.

“You had an appointment today.” Hyeonu groaned at Jamie Moore’s shameless answer.

‘Still, by now… I think he would’ve completed the second class transfer.’

Jamie Moore’s level up speed wasn’t bad. Rather, it was very fast. That made it more unpredictable. It was because the level-up speed could remain the same or be slower.

‘Hmm… Let’s just guess.’

Hyeonu took it easy. He would just ignore the chat window for a while if he was wrong.

“Are you level 110? This is based on what I heard.” Hyeonu guessed Jamie Moore’s specs while citing something that didn’t exist.

Jamie Moore’s expression changed when he heard Hyeonu’s words.

-What? Is it right? Why is Jamie Moore looking like that?

-Was it method acting from the beginning? He pretended that he didn’t know?

-Did we fall for it?

-Aish, I knew this would happen. Why do you all trust people so well…?

-He isn’t a professional gamer; he is almost like a Hollywood actor.

The viewers sighed when they saw Jamie Moore, who was speechless with a flustered expression. It was because they thought Hyeonu had fooled them once again. In response to such viewers, Hyeonu also changed his expression little by little. It went from an expressionless face to a half confident face.

‘Did I get it right? Me?’ Hyeonu also thought that he had matched Jamie Moore’s level.

“How can I be wrong? Everyone, really…” Hyeonu started to act condescendingly to the viewers.

“Yes, you are wrong. I am level 123,” Jamie Moore announced the correct answer for Hyeonu. There was a smile on Jamie Moore’s face. He felt like a fisherman who caught a huge fish.

-I was excited.

-We were properly fooled.

-It turns out that Alley Leader really knew nothing.

-What student? He doesn’t know anything. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The viewers laughed at such a Hyeonu. 13 levels was an insignificant difference.

“Yes, then I’ll start the lesson right away.” Hyeonu quickly continued the process. He formed three wooden swords in the air and threw two of them to Jamie Moore.

Jamie Moore accepted the swords without saying anything. The smile on his face was erased. It wasn’t the time to smile. A battle with Hyeonu was right in front of him.

“Come,” Hyeonu told Jamie Moore while holding his wooden sword upright. At Hyeonu’s words, Jamie Moore rushed over while giving strength to his hands that held the two swords. The fate engraved in front of him was that he was going to be hit anyway. Thus, it was better to attack as resolutely as possible.

Jamie Moore’s two swords struck at Hyeonu at different timings. Hyeonu avoided the wooden sword that flew in first and blocked the one that followed. Then he flicked his wrist and hit Jamie Moore’s first wooden sword toward the ground. Naturally, one of Jamie Moore’s arms moved toward the ground, and the other toward the sky.

Then Hyeonu attacked Jamie Moore’s unguarded body with his wooden sword.

Claack!

Jamie Moore frowned at the hot pain that was spreading. Even so, he didn’t let go of his swords. Jamie Moore endured the pain and swung the wooden swords. ‘This much…’

It was nothing compared to the pain of hunting. Jamie Moore wasn’t Hyeonu. He couldn’t help getting hit while hunting, so he couldn’t struggle with pain every time he was hit by a monster. Hunting would be impossible if he did that. He just endured the pain.

Jamie Moore’s two swords exuded a dark red magic power. As previously stated, he was level 123. In other words, he had surpassed the second class advancement. It was possible for him to form a sword energy that was different from before.

A clear cross-shaped sword energy headed toward Hyeonu. Hyeonu’s expression stiffened when he saw the dark red sword energy instantly approach him. Still, he didn’t avoid it. He injected magic power into his sword and fired crescent-shaped sword energy. The purple sword energy deflected the dark red sword energy.

Jamie Moore frowned in the aftermath of the collision. It was because a bitter wind filled with dirt flew up and hit his face.

A sword appeared through such dirt. At the same time, Hyeonu also appeared with a sword in hand. His wooden sword didn’t emit any magic power like Jamie Moore’s did; it just moved quickly and accurately. Even so, Jamie Moore’s eyes shook like crazy when he saw how smooth the movement of the wooden sword was. It was too fast for him to follow.

Claack! Hyeonu’s sword struck Jamie Moore’s two swords and finally hit his forehead. Jamie Moore couldn’t hold on this time. The balance of his body collapsed, and he was pushed back.

“Your level has definitely gone up. The rankings of your skills are good as well. It is very smooth. I think we can go deeper.”

Hyeonu smiled and told Jamie Moore, whose butt was stuck to the ground while he held his pained forehead.

-How does he feel that way?

-Wasn’t he just one-sidedly hitting just now?

-It means Jamie Moore has evolved into a sandbag.

-Ah, a bit of iron is mixed into the sand? So he can hit harder? Does he mean this?

-Probably ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

However, to the viewers, Hyeonu’s words sounded like he was going to give Jamie Moore a harder beating.
