Ranker's Return

Chapter 752

The spar between Hyeonu and Jamie Moore didn’t continue. It was because a special instructor once again appeared today.

“Hello, viewers who are watching Alley Leader’s live stream. This is Teika, a new streamer.”

Today, Hyeonu’s special instructor was Teika—one of the strongest arena players as recognized by others and the idol of players who used spears as a weapon. Now he was a new streamer who was considered to have risked his life for real-time streaming.

-In fact, you will be able to meet all the grandmasters if you go to Alley Leader’s live stream.

-How many out of the nine are there already?

-Apart from Alley Leader, there was Jin Sijong, Reina, Teika, and Rain.It is four just looking at the faces that are frequently seen.

-There are times when Gang Junggu is a grandmaster and times when he isn’t.You can say that it is almost five.

-Let’s go with five grandmasters.

The viewers marveled at Hyeonu’s casting ability. These four or five grandmasters weren’t easily seen on official broadcasts.

“Today’s special instructor isn’t just Teika. There is one more special guest.” Hyeonu added fuel to the burning chat window. Today’s Alley Leader Academy didn’t have only one special instructor; there were two. Of course, Hyeonu invited only one person—Teika.

Then Teika brought the other person with him.

-Is there one more person?

-Two?

-Who is with Teika these days?

-Aike.Look at his live streams.He is going around with Aike of PSG.

-Our Leo?

-Who is Leo?

-Aike’s name is Leo.

The viewers guessed the identity of the other special instructor that Hyeonu mentioned. It wasn’t difficult to figure out. Usually when guests appeared on a live stream together, it was because there was a close relationship between the guests.

“Everyone knows it well. The second special daily instructor is… the best gamer in Europe and the symbol of PSG, it is player Aike.”

Everyone already predicted the second daily instructor, so Hyeonu made the announcement straight away without dragging it out.

“Hello, I am PSG’s Aike.” A young man with curly blond hair appeared behind Teika. It was Aike, Europe’s top professional gamer.

-He is really on the live stream.There is a standard.

-A live stream where grandmasters and top rankers come and go as if it is their home.This is the live stream of Alley Leader.

-For one thing, the streamer is Alley Leader.The level is different from there.

The viewers cheered when PSG’s Aike, Leo, appeared as they had speculated. Today was also a series of luxurious scenes. This combination was only found in Hyeonu’s live streams.

‘There are three of us so… I can rest twice.’ Hyeonu looked at Jamie Moore, Teika, and Leo before once again turning back to the viewers.

“Now there are three instructors and one student. Every time the instructor gives close guidance, the other two will stay still and give advice.” Hyeonu couldn’t play around just because a daily instructor came. It was Hyeonu who had the biggest stake in teaching Jamie Moore.

Thus, this was the method he came up with.

“We will start with Teika since I’ve been teaching the lessons so far. Teika? Please get ready.” Hyeonu took Aike and moved to a corner of the arena.

Of course, he didn’t forget to hand over a wooden spear to Teika before that. Teika accepted the wooden spear and told Hyeonu, “Yes, I will teach Jamie Moore things that will help him with all my heart and soul.”

Teika was full of confidence. He had quite a lot of experience with sparring and teaching gamers weaker than himself. Of course, most of it was from when he sparred with Crescent Moon’s players a few months ago.

“I trust you, Teika. If you do it with your heart and soul… I will prepare something that won’t disappoint you.” Hyeonu shook Teika’s hand while requesting again for the latter to do his best.

“Oh my, I don’t want that either… Of course, I won’t refuse if you give it to me.” Teika smiled at Hyeonu before moving to the center of the arena.

“You might be the CEO of a management company, and I am a streamer. But now we are a teacher and a student of Alley Leader Academy. Let me make this clear before we start the spar, Jamie Moore,” Teika said to Jamie Moore while his wooden spear was stuck in the ground.

Jamie Moore looked surprised by Teika’s words and nodded immediately. "I welcome that choice. In fact… I never thought you would even consider going easy on me because of that. I never thought you were such a person.”

Teika was one of those who signed with Nike Management at Hyeonu’s introduction. A witty conversation was created in an instant.

-As expected of a professional streamer.

-This is the quick wits of an arena grandmaster.

-It is incredible.It is almost like a sub-compatible Alley Leader.

-There is a lot of resemblance between the two of them.In many ways.

The viewers applauded Teika who now looked like a professional streamer.

“Then I will really do my best.” Teika pulled out the spear that he had driven into the ground of the arena. Simply pulling out the spear and pointing it at Jamie Moore changed the atmosphere of the arena. There was an incredible silence that made it hard to believe this was a place where they had been smiling and chatting just now.

“Player Aike? How do you think Teika and Jamie Moore’s spar will flow?” Hyeonu broke the silence of the arena.

He held his wooden sword upside down and extended it to Leo sitting next to him like it was a microphone.

“If this was a ranking battle, Teika would win with one attack without looking, but… Since it is a spar for the purpose of guidance, I think he will lead it moderately. However, it is hard to go up against the weapon called a spear, so I am curious about how Jamie Moore will deal with it,” Leo answered Hyeonu’s question without hesitation.

Hyeonu nodded while looking very pleased with Leo’s response.

“Yes, spears are very rare, but two swords are even rarer. You might be able to see a funny sight where Teika is mesmerized.” Hyeonu laughed before shutting his mouth.

The spar between Teika and Jamie Moore was just beginning.

‘There is only one option. Unconditionally attack first.’ Jamie Moore applied strength to his hands, which held the two swords, in order to attack first.

Until now, Jamie Moore had always received tacit consideration. Hyeonu and even Kim Seokjung hadn’t attacked Jamie Moore first. The spar started when they countered his attacks.

‘No one will make such a concession in an actual ranking battle.’

Meanwhile, Teika was different. Teika approached Jamie Moore like he was gliding on the ice and wielded his spear with lightning speed. The wooden spear pierced the space and aimed at Jamie Moore’s heart.

‘He is attacking first?’ Jamie Moore’s expression changed. He was flustered by Teika’s actions, which were different from the daily instructors so far. Even so, all the previous spars hadn’t been in vain.

Jamie Moore quickly regained his composure and crossed the two swords in front of him to block Teika’s spear. There was a loud sound as Teika’s spear and Jamie Moore’s two swords collided. Jamie Moore suffered quite a loss as a result of this one collision.

This time, Teika used a bit more power than Jamie Moore’s specs. In addition, Teika moved his body to attack while Jamie Moore stood still and blocked it. The momentum was different.

“You should always be careful when dealing with spears, Jamie Moore. The spear is long. It is longer than any weapon in Arena. It is the same when making pure energy unless it is an exceptional case like a certain someone.” Teika looked in the direction of Hyeonu and Leo. Based on this, everyone knew who he was referring to as the exception.

“However, this doesn’t mean there are no drawbacks. Once you’ve endured one attack and narrowed the distance, you will have a chance to reverse things. It is hard to use the spear if you stick too closely to your opponent,” Teika explained the pros and cons of the spear to Jamie Moore.

This was what he had to do today. Give Jamie Moore a solution to those who used spears in case he encountered them in the ranking battles.

“As you may know, there are significantly fewer people who use the spear than those who use double-edged or single-edged swords… Still, there are quite a few more compared to fighters,” Teika said and then shut his mouth again. He was going to share his knowledge little by little over dozens of sessions. So… it meant Jamie Moore had to go through something like this a dozen more times.

“Come in first this time. Try to figure out how to narrow the distance to a person who uses a spear.” Teika smiled. It was a playful smile.

-Aren’t they becoming similar?

-I got goosebumps.

-In fact, are they twins or brothers who were separated when young?

-One is Asian, and the other is Western. Does this make sense?

-I was just talking.

The viewers got goosebumps at the sight of Teika, who looked just like someone.

Objects that were the size of very small dots when compared to the buildings, which were over dozens of meters tall, moved quickly.

“Master dude, run faster. Faster. There are still many places left.”

The black dots running quickly were Hyeonu with Tang-E on his back. Hyeonu was wandering around to find an altar that, according to Floyd, was located somewhere in Arperium. Arperium was very wide, as could be seen from what Hyeonu experienced the other day. It was natural because it was a city where giants three or four times larger than Hyeonu had lived.

“Tang-E, how about you carry me on your back and run?”

Was it because he had been running for too long? Hyeonu just spoke any words that came to mind.

“Do you think that makes sense, Master dude?” Tang-E clicked his tongue with a pitying expression. It was clear that Hyeonu had gone crazy from running too much.

“Yes, that won’t work, right?” Hyeonu sighed and started running again.

‘I need to find the altar quickly…’

He was troubled. Hyeonu hadn’t found the altar after wasting a day, so he thought about just leaving. Now he didn’t feel the need to find the altar and put the relics together. The immediate performance alone was already overwhelming.

Just then, Tang-E asked Hyeonu a question: “By the way Master dude, what is an altar? What does it look like?”

Tang-E didn’t know what an altar was.

“Why are you only asking that now…?”

“I thought you would find it soon, Master dude.”

“Okay, I’ll explain it to you. An altar’s appearance… It is usually in the form of a large cuboid stone. It feels weird when you look at it,” Hyeonu explained the general appearance of an altar to Tang-E.

“Um… Then I know what the altar is like.” Tang-E heard Hyeonu’s explanation and clapped.
