Chapter 209

Team Leader Jeon Kwang-wook tried to say something, but he soon kept silent after licking his lips a few times. He knew what Im Gunwoo was up to after he deliberately provoked Yu-hyun.

It didnt matter whether they were real friends or not.

What mattered more was that a senior collector with a strong voice in any situation had taken Yu-hyuns side.

Team Leader Jeon Kwang-wook had a company on his back, but the authority given to him did not cover the entire company. His shallow power was no different from a candle that could be extinguished by a mere breath of a senior collector.

Did you finally feel the seriousness of the situation?

T-that is

From a third persons perspective, one might wonder why Team Leader Jeon Kwang-wook, who was much bigger in size, was so flustered by such a scoundrel like Im Gunwoo.

Jeon Kwang-wook wanted to shout at those people.

You have to see his power for yourself.

Especially for Jeon Kwang-wook, who had coincidentally worked with him in the unofficial world war in Afghanistan.

Hey, hey. Relax your face. If someone sees you, they might think Im trying to bully you one-sidedly. Then Ill give you a chance.

A chance, you say

What, is there anything special? The stage is nicely set. The audience is also lined up. You know our awakened collectors, right? Whenever they have a conflict of opinion, dont get along, or get annoyed with each other, theres only one peaceful way to solve it.

Jeon Kwang-wook let go of his shoulder and spread his arms exaggeratedly.

Its a duel, what else?

Jeon Kwang-wook glanced at Yu-hyun with a sunken gaze. His eyes were an unspoken protest, wondering if Yu-hyun would accept this proposal.

Im Gunwoo was not someone who couldnt understand that. He turned around and asked Yu-hyun.

What do you think, Mr. Yu-hyun?

Haha. Are you suggesting me to follow the collectors way as a teller?

Yu-hyun laughed mockingly, and the surroundings buzzed.

A teller? No, wait a minute. Come to think of it

Thats right. Ive heard rumors. Theres a teller who gave up his protection.

Could it be, that person? No, a teller?

Everyones eyes turned to Yu-hyun. Jeon Kwang-wook also heard that and felt his narrow-mindedness widen.

He had heard news of the strange teller who acted like a human being, the man called a freak.

He didnt think much of it because he thought he would never meet him anyway, but he didnt expect him to be the one he was dealing with right now.

Yu-hyun glanced around at the reactions and hesitated to answer.

Out of dislike?

No way. Rather, I should be grateful for setting up such a stage for me.

Yu-hyun smiled inwardly, guessing Im Gunwoos intentions. That man. He was lazy, shameless, and acted like a scoundrel, but every one of his actions had meticulous calculations behind them.

The reason why Im Gunwoo stepped forward and pretended to mediate by turning the topic to a duel was also to check how powerful Yu-hyun really was.

But then again, the method that Im Gunwoo suggested was also very beneficial for Yu-hyun.

Even if I show my power here and make a scene, my external image would only get worse.

It was despicable for Jung Gang-san to try to turn Seo Sumins rightful victory into a foul play, but it was an excessive defense to throw a harpoon and threaten him.

What can I do about it? The law of this country, the eyes of the people are like that.

So Im Gunwoo came up with the most rational way. The duel that collectors usually do.

Anyone who refused or ran away here would be branded as a loser.

Fine. I accept.

Haha! Thats refreshing! A bonus event has been added unexpectedly!

Choi Yeri shook her head as she watched Lim Gunwoo enjoying himself. She bowed her head apologetically to Yu-hyun, but he was really fine.

In a way, Lim Gunwoo had given Yu-hyun an assist.

It was up to Yu-hyun to turn it into a goal. Or, to waste it.

The instructors silently watched. They couldnt intervene and stop the situation, as the people gathered here had too much influence.

A duel between Team Leader Jeon Gwangwook and Teller Kang Yu-hyun?

An unexpected good show has opened.

Well, its not bad as a break time entertainment.

They didnt care who won here. Rather, they were happy that they were provided with a good spectacle, and even encouraged the situation.

How could the instructors or security guards say anything when the big shots with huge power said so?

The main test was paused for a moment, and the event match began.

Yu-hyun and Jeon Gwangwook stood on the dueling ground. It was much wider and sturdier than the one used by other students.

Yu-hyun held a white spear, and Jeon Gwangwook held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Jeon Gwangwook had even prepared armor.

Dont you have armor?

Do I need that?

Yu-hyun expressed that he didnt need it in response to Jeon Gwangwooks question. Yu-hyun was still wearing his black suit.

Jeon Gwangwook frowned. He thought Yu-hyun was insulting him. Otherwise, he wouldnt maintain that outfit in a fight that was close to a life-and-death duel.

But, Jeon Gwangwook decided not to argue any further. He had already warned him, and it was Yu-hyun who didnt accept it. If any mishap happened because of that, it was Yu-hyuns fault.

Beep!

Jeon Kwang-wooks body slammed into the ground.

Yu-hyun grabbed his collar and forced him to stand up.

Jeon Kwang-wook was still dazed from the shock.

His teeth were broken and blood flowed from his nose.

Yu-hyun kicked his calf hard.

Bang!

Jeon Kwang-wooks body spun in the air several times.

In the slowly flowing time, a black aura briefly formed and disappeared on Yu-hyuns fist.

Yu-hyun thrust his fist into Jeon Kwang-wooks vital point, which was full of openings.

Crash!

Jeon Kwang-wooks body folded into a letter G.

The huge force that exploded from the fist spread throughout his body through his abdomen.

Jeon Kwang-wook flew out of the ring faster than he had rushed at Yu-hyun and smashed into the floor.

His eyes rolled back, showing the whites, and he fainted. He couldnt get up.

The fight ended so quickly and futilely.

No one who saw the fight dared to open their mouth.

The fight between the two was so one-sided that it was embarrassing to call it a duel.

Moreover, it was a fight that one side had provoked unilaterally, even from an objective point of view.

In the silence of the sea, Yu-hyun calmly came down from the ring.

He approached Lim Geon-woo, who had been watching the duel with his arms crossed, and asked him.

Is this enough?

Huh? Oh. Yeah. Well, it cant be helped.

Lim Geon-woo gave a bitter smile. He had intended to check how strong Yu-hyun was with this opportunity, but his plan was only half successful.

The half of success was that Yu-hyun was much stronger than a mid-level collector.

The half of failure was that he didnt know exactly what kind of power and ability Yu-hyun had.

No, should he call it half?

He must have much more power than he showed.

Clap.

Yu-hyun clapped his hands and drew the attention of the people who were still staring at him blankly.

What are you doing? You should get ready for the next test soon.

Oh, right.

Yeah, we should.

As the instructors regained their senses and tried to sort out the situation, Yu-hyun added another word.

But first, lets keep our promise.

Promise?

Oh.

The people who remembered the condition of the duel looked at Jung Gang-san with pity. He had been sweating profusely since Jeon Kwang-wooks defeat, unable to accept reality.

Yu-hyun snapped his fingers at him.

Kneel down.

Jung Gang-san couldnt refuse.

He had to kneel down in front of everyone and apologize for what he had said to Seo Sumin.

Im, Im sorry.

Seo Sumin didnt say anything back. She tapped Yu-hyuns arm with her fingertips as if she didnt need anything else. Yu-hyun immediately caught what she wanted.

If youre done apologizing, get lost.

At Yu-hyuns command, Jung Gang-san got up and ran away from his seat.

The words of the loser were always miserable. Especially when he had attacked shamefully without accepting his own defeat and got beaten up again.

Yu-hyun didnt bother him any more. His career was already shattered by what happened earlier anyway.

The people from Daeyeong Group also disappeared with Jeon Kwang-wook and Lee Pyeong-won, who had fainted. This place would be recorded as a shameful history for them.

By the way, youve learned it well.

Seo Sumin whispered softly so that only Yu-hyun could hear.

Yu-hyun smiled silently. She was talking about him mastering the basic level of Chilma Black Sky Divine Skill, which she used.

In just a week, Yu-hyun had caught up with 80% of her skill.

Now we can move on to the next stage.

Thats right.

As if time started flowing again after stopping for a while, the second test, which had been temporarily paused for the event match, resumed its finale.

Seo Sumins turn was still left, so Yu-hyun decided to watch another A-rank student casually.

He saw a student who came up to the ring and opened his eyes wide.

Why is he there?

It was a face he never expected to see.
