Ranker's Return

Chapter 647

Translator: rainbowturtle

-No, why is a ranker appearing here?

-Destroyer Ray…he isn’t just a ranker?

-He is a complete top ranker.He is one of the few people who have completed the fourth class advancement.

-Yet he is appearing in Alley Leader Academy?Why?

-Will Brother Jin Sijong appear in the future?He asks Alley Leader to make him first ranked.

Viewers responded like Hyeonu’s words were ridiculous.

It was because there was a name that shouldn’t have come out of Hyeonu’s mouth.

‘As expected, the topic is good.’

Hyeonu’s mouth curled up when he saw the chat window.

“Ah, are you all curious about this? The method of choosing the second student was as follows: At the end of Arena Week, I selected the second student through a raffle at a fan meeting. It was Ray who was accidentally picked there.”

Hyeonu talked about the history behind Ray’s appearance that some viewers were curious about.

Useless questions were ignored.

He only answered what he could answer thoroughly.

“Hello, I am Ray.”

Meanwhile, Ray approached Hyeonu’s side and bowed to the viewers.

-Wait?So Ray was at the fan meeting?

-A top ranker is a fan?

-A ranker among rankers…

-Sure enough, this is our Alley Leader’s class.

-A class where top rankers are fans.It is amazing.

Now viewers praised Hyeonu.

Destroyer Ray was a ranker that most viewers knew.

“In fact, I had a lot of worries when Ray was first selected. Can I teach anything to a ranker? I had such a thought.”

-Alley Leader has that qualification.

-If it isn’t Alley Leader, then who will teach him?

The viewers shook their heads at Hyeonu’s words.

Hyeonu was a unique existence.

The only undefeated player in the arena.

No, he was undefeated throughout Arena.

An absolutely strong man who never suffered death—this was Hyeonu.

It was understandable if Hyeonu taught a fourth class advancement ranker.

“No. It isn’t what you are all thinking. If I teach Ray and his ranking increases recklessly, will other people be hurt? I thought of them. I know myself exactly. I am qualified,” Hyeonu answered while shaking his head.

He wasn’t actually worried about this.

It was just acting.

Yet even if he had such thoughts, it definitely wasn’t what the viewers thought.

‘Why am I not qualified?’

His strength was complete.

Any existing ranker would have to kneel down in front of Hyeonu.

-Then it’s right.

-I am a fool to worry.

-There is no end to that pretentiousness.

-It is just hard to refute because of his skills.Didn’t you watch Arena Week?

Viewers who listened to Hyeonu’s confident words regretted their behavior.

They had forgotten for a moment what type of person Alley Leader was.

He wasn’t a person who tried to show off, but he wasn’t humble when the opportunity came.

He just revealed it moderately.

It was just that the moderation was different from ordinary people.

“Ray’s arena ranking is in the 7,000s. An arena platinum ranker. It should be the student with the highest ranking among all my students.”

Ray’s expression stiffened a bit after hearing Hyeonu’s words.

The number 7,000 once again burdened his shoulders.

It absolutely wasn’t a low ranking, but it was a ranking that didn’t match his level.

Other people dreamed about becoming platinum rankers, but for Ray, it was a shackle that caught his ankle.

-7,000?Isn’t this low?

-He is surprisingly weak in PvP?

-He is very good at hunting.

-In terms of levels alone, he should be at least at the 500th ranking.

The viewers pinched at Ray’s painful wound.

They didn’t intend to do so.

They just didn’t know it was Ray’s wound.

“Is the ranking lower than you expected? This is why I accepted Ray as the second student. My goal is to make Ray at least a diamond ranker. It is a very simple condition. I just need to raise him to 6,000th place,” Hyeonu revealed the goal he first told Ray to the viewers.

His mind hadn’t changed.

He stuck to his original intention.

-Diamond?

-Aren’t the platinum and diamond levels completely different?

-Honestly, it seems that the difference between platinum and diamond is larger than the deep sea and platinum.

-No, the difference with platinum is 1,000 places right now ???

The viewers reacted the same as Ray did when he first heard Hyeonu’s words.

There was nothing else.

This was a common reaction.

“The viewers are thinking the same as Ray, but I am fine. I’m confident. Even 999th place is nothing. Just do it.”

Hyeonu showed confidence.

He had already confirmed Ray’s talent.

‘In the first place, it doesn’t make sense for someone with no talent to be so good at hunting.’

Hyeonu wasn’t saying that 999th was possible for no reason.

To be honest, the talent of the platinum rankers was usually similar.

The difference in ranking was due to a specs difference such as class and weapon.

‘It is no different in the diamond level.’

“He has completed his fourth class advancement. That is a great merit. A third class and fourth class are very different. 999th place is easy if we take advantage of this point.”

This was the biggest reason.

Ray’s specs.

At this time, there were no more than 999 people who completed the fourth class advancement.

Naturally, those with the same skills allowed a fourth class ranker to easily beat a third class.

-Is that so?

-Isn’t it a matter of how quickly his skills improve?

-Can you grow so fast at that level?

-Is it possible?Then even dogs and cows could become pro gamers or rankers.

-It is hard to look good, so how hard do you have to work to be so rotten?

Even so, the viewers didn’t easily believe it.

It was because skills originally weren’t improved so quickly.

“Well… that is something we will know over time. I’ll show you the results. Additionally… I gave Ray some advice before I turned on the streaming.”

-What?Removing the foundation?

-Why teach before starting?

-You need to show what you are teaching.

-No, Alley Leader doesn’t know what is important.

The viewers were angry.

They wanted Hyeonu’s educational scene.

“Of course, that part will be uploaded to Alley Leader’s A-World channel. Um… As for why I met Ray first… I called Ray in advance for fear that the streaming would be boring. If I show a relatively boring part, there is no reason to introduce it in advance.”

-So what are you going to do now?

“I taught the theory, so he has to practice it. Don’t you know? Isn’t the fastest way to learn with your body?”

-It is a line I’ve often heard.

-It is a regular comment.

-So how many times are you going to hit?

Viewers learned what Hyeonu’s words meant.

The actual practice would be a spar.

It was to legally hit the opponent.

“I’m not going to hit him. I want to improve his skills through a spar. Everyone, don’t you know?”

Hyeonu showed a sly smile.

Anyone who saw it would think he had sinister intentions.

-Yes, next is a beating.

-Let’s have a moment of silence for Ray, who will be legally beaten.

-Silence.

-Amen.

Viewers sent their condolences to Ray.

It was because they saw his future.

“Then I’ll choose to handle two things at the same time. I will use two swords as a weapon to demonstrate to my first student, Jamie, while sparring with Ray.”

The moment Hyeonu’s words ended, three wooden swords appeared in the air.

One sword was a very large greatsword while the other two were typical longswords.

“To what extent should I match the stats?” Hyeonu asked while giving Ray the greatsword.

“I would appreciate it if you can adjust it to the fourth class advancement. The arena will be easier if I adapt to a higher level,” Ray asked Hyeonu to fight at a similar level.

The people he met in the arena would unconditionally be lower than him, but it was really inefficient to practice with a weak opponent.

“Yes. I will roughly fit that level.”

Hyeonu didn’t know how many stats other players would have after finishing their fourth class advancement.

Still, he knew roughly.

Lee Hoon had also finished his fourth class advancement, and Reina and other professional gamers had finished it as well.

He would match the degree of strength they showed or a bit weaker than that.

“Jamie, take a look. I’m not really good at using two swords, but… it will help you know that this type of battle is possible.”

Hyeonu turned his head toward Jamie Moore.

He was teaching Ray, but at the same time, it was audiovisual material for Jamie Moore.

“Yes, I’ll focus on it.”

Jamie Moore nodded.

Hyeonu confirmed it and turned back to Ray before slowly moving back.

‘Ah! That’s right.’

“What about skills? Should I use it moderately?”

Hyeonu realized there was still one thing left.

Skill—the meaning of the spar would disappear if he used the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art.

It was clear that Ray would die without being able to handle it.

It wasn’t complacency, but conviction.

“Can you use skills that match the level?”

Ray scratched his head.

He had never thought about such details.

‘Hmm… What should I do?’

"I understand. Then I’ll take the penalty. I will fight by imitating someone else’s skills, not my own. That is enough.”

Hyeonu finished speaking and raised his two wooden swords.

The swords were aimed at Ray.

“Huup!”

Ray took a deep breath.

It was because the moment the swords pointed at him, Hyeonu exuded a blade-like pressure.

‘This is Alley Leader…’

An overwhelming energy.

Ray seemed to see why so many rankers had collapsed.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t stand still and suffer because of this.

Otherwise, he would miss out on the chance of a lifetime.

“Hap!”

Ray moved vigorously.

His movements were quick, but they were very slow among the platinum rankers.

Hyeonu looked at Ray, who was running slowly by his standards, and found a place to attack.

‘There are too many gaps…’

He could weaken his strength, move slowly, and use less magic power, but he couldn’t control his eyes.

‘It can’t be helped. I have to fix everything from one to ten.’

Hyeonu smiled and moved toward the approaching Ray.

Ray’s sword smashed through the atmosphere and advanced toward Hyeonu.

It was an overwhelming attack power that only the greatsword could show.

Then the two swords struck at Ray’s greatsword with a tremendous speed.

Ray’s vigorously moving sword suddenly stopped.

Hyeonu overcame the difference in attack power using the number of attacks.

From then on, Hyeonu’s double swords began to move.

Ray stood still like a scarecrow and swung a wooden sword.

All Ray could do was move the sword while feeling suffocated.

-I’ve seen this scene before.

-Where?

-It was spring at a university liberal arts class.

-What is it?

-I’ve done laundry that way in South Korea in the past.I knocked on my clothes with two sticks.It is perfectly consistent with that scene.
