Chapter 687: Gift (6)

The clothes worn by the martial artists were different, but they had something in common.

First, they all definitely look like martial artists.

Second, black is in the motif.

Third, they wear a belt with their team logo depicting a sword and a forest.

There were several professional players with the concept of martial artists, but there was only one team that used that logo.

‘One of the four professional player teams in Korea. It’s the Black Forest! Did most of the audience come to see them?’

The Black Forest was ranked as the most consistent among the numerous professional player teams founded after the collisions.

Energy waves, physicality, mentality.

The team employs a tough exam and recruits only the martial artists who qualify.

The boldness needed in having to deal with demons.

Despite being inferior to the other three, they’re still considered one of the top four.

For one reason or another, the Black Forest was quite popular, but they were too immersed in their concept to expose themselves to the media.

The few times that they are seen outside always make it to the news.

It’s then understandable why people are crowded like this.

The young man at the front was particularly getting attention.

‘Just a few members from the Black Forest will make headlines, but to think that the team master is here.’

The person who leads the martial artists is Blademaster Heukrim, the team master of Black Forest.

He’s known as the only promising player in his 20’s among the four professional teams.

He’s also famous for having a lot of dark history at such a young age.

The anecdote that he decided to be a martial artist at the same time that he was being interviewed to be in Class Zero was very famous.

As such, Blademaster Heukrim is the team master and a man with unrivaled conceptual power even within the team where all kinds of power are gathered.

Blademaster Heukrim, who had been strolling with the martial artists, stopped in front of Professor Ham Geunhyung.

Tak!

Blademaster Heukrim gestured and the martial artists followed, grasping their fists with their palms.

I was amazed at the tight and disciplined movement, but I didn’t know how to react to the unfitting martial artists in the school landscape.

“It’s a great honor meeting you.”

The Blademaster only said a word, but the surroundings began to tremble.

He’s famous for his “old man” way of speaking, so it’s surprising that he used honorifics.

Even though he’s a famous player now, he seems to have never forgotten his respect for Professor Ham Geunhyung.

I heard the crowd murmur Professor Ham’s alias, and I really felt that people understood the excellence of our homeroom teacher.

“It’s been a while. Is that child your student?”

“I’m here to see the performance of my student.”Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

“I see... you and him are very similar.”

“Is that so? He’s yet to be fully learned, so he can’t follow half of my sword just yet.”

I don’t think Professor Ham Geunhyung meant that they have similar sword skills though.

Anyway, it must be true that the Black Darkness Swordsman in our class is the team master’s student.

Our classmates talked excitedly while Blademaster Heukrim and Professor Ham intercated.

Professor Ham Geunhyung seemed to be in a good mood too.

Perhaps it’s because of the reunion with an old student, but it’s possible that he’s more concerned with our attendance rate going up.

‘Is it because we’re at our highest attendance so far?’

The two attention-seekers and the swordsman are warming up for a match, but they still come to school.

It’s not strange then that Professor Ham is so happy.

‘It would be a good Christmas present to make those three permanently go to school.’

The match is currently 1-1.

I don’t know how the game would be decided, but it seems to be a head-to-head match.

I tried to weigh Goo Seulbi and Ong Gildong’s abilities, and the odds don’t seem to be in their favor.

‘The two are excellent, but they’re not as good as that swordsman when it comes to fighting. They don’t have reason to fight desperately, so I’m sure they’ll focus on gaining attention.’

On the other hand, that swordsman must’ve trained repeatedly with the goal of wiping out the Demon Race, being a student of the Black Forest.

His reason for not going to school is to train, so most freshmen students will be no match for him.

If so, I have no choice but to use other measures.

The information that I have from PMH, what the Demon Race had done in this world and in PMH, what Kim Yuri said about their match, the swordsman’s actions in this world.

I put everything together and decided what to do.

‘I think it’s better to talk with Blademaster Heukrim before the match.’

I don’t intend to let the Demon World scenario in PMH occur in this world.

I wanted to contact the Black Forest as soon as the work in the Dragon Palace was completed, but it seems like I’d have to do it earlier.

Because of the sudden change of plan, my preparations are insufficient, but if I miss this timing, the swordsman might go abroad again.

Still, at last, there was a person next to me who could help.

“Hey.”

I talked to Hwang Jiho who was occasionally laughing along with the other kids.

Hwang Jiho immediately turned his head to me.

“From the look on your face, you seem to have a favor to ask. If it doesn’t strain your body, I’ll humor you. Say it.”

Hwang Jiho spoke as if he had been waiting.

Is he gonna stop talking or listen to me?

I’m indeed going to ask for a favor, but I wonder how he knew that.

“I’m going to talk with Blademaster Heukrim.”

“I see. What should this body do?”

Hwang Jiho seemed willing to cooperate.

Still, it might be a difficult request, so I decided to explain.

“Come with me to meet the Black Forest’s team master.”

“Didn’t you just say that? Of course, I will. If we’re going to meet him right now, I’ll go get ready.”

I lowered my voice and added an important detail.

“Not as Hwang Jiho. Come as the Tiger Clan’s head.”
