“Player Gang Hyeonu’s victory has confirmed Crescent Moon’s first place in PvP. On the contrary, JT Telecom has a score of 0:7 and has finished in 8th place!” the host exclaimed in a loud voice.
Today’s schedule had basically ended. The rankings of the first, second, and third teams, as well as last place, had already been determined. It would be hard for the remaining fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh places to attract a great amount of attention.
‘There will probably be an interview in a little bit.’
Interviews were held with some players in the break time after the first and second matches ended and the third and fourth matches were getting ready. This interview time wasn’t given to everyone as the available time was too scarce. The number of matches played in one day was 28, with at least six PvP games in one match. It was essential to have a meal or break in the middle.
Currently, it was already close to 8 p.m. By the time the third and fourth matches ended and today’s schedule was completed, it would be at least 10 p.m. It was important to ensure the return time was as early as possible in order to control the players’ conditions, so as many as possible of the interviews were done while preparing for the next match.
“I will talk to Player Gang Hyeonu from Crescent Moon and Player Reina from the New York Warriors,” the host said. There were two interviewees. Coincidentally, the combination that was shown previously had emerged once again—Hyeonu and Reina.
The host gave a strange smile and congratulated the two of them, “Congratulations on being 1st and 2nd in PvP.”
“Yes, thank you!”
“Thank you.”
Hyeonu and Reina thanked the host.
“There isn’t much time, so I’ll do a short, bold interview. First, I will ask Player Gang Hyeonu. Crescent Moon has become the number one team in PvP. I would like to ask how you are feeling.”
Hyeonu said, “I don’t have anything to say. However, I’m a bit sad that my teammates didn’t show enough compared to what they prepared. They did better in practice than they did today... I don’t think it was easy to be on the big stage.”
PvP ended with Crescent Moon as first place, but Hyeonu was left with a lot of regrets regarding Dwayne, Yuri, and Lee Hoon. In particular, he was too sad about the way things had turned out for Yuri and Lee Hoon. Dwayne managed to beat the giant called Karelin based on the strategy Hyeonu had prepared.
Meanwhile, Lee Hoon and Yuri failed to do so. They didn’t meet any of the opponents they’d aimed for, and they only got around one win per match on average. People were already surprised by this, but Hyeonu was different and felt regretful knowing what Lee Hoon’s and Yuri’s skills were usually like.
“It is amazing that they did better than this in practice.” The host looked a bit surprised.
He wasn’t the only one making that expression. Reina, who was standing next to Hyeonu, also seemed quite surprised. Truth be told, no one gathered at Arena Week rated Lee Hoon, Dwayne, or Yuri highly. In terms of PvP, they were just players to fill up the numbers for Crescent Moon. Yet these players who were regarded as weak folding screens killed one player from each team. Of course, that alone was amazing. The one-man team of Alley Leader was instantly transformed into a team that performed excellently.
After that, the host said, “Congratulations to Player Reina, who represents the second-place New York Warriors.”
“Thank you,” Reina replied.
“Player Reina has made a lot of progress compared to last year. Was player Gang Hyeonu’s help really the secret? Can you tell me about how he helped specifically?”
The host was persistent. He slightly changed the question he asked Reina previously and presented it to her again.
Reina glanced at Hyeonu before answering, “That really is all it was. There was truly no additional help.”
Her resolute answer caused disappointment to appear on the host’s face. However, he quickly removed his disappointment and continued to ask Hyeonu questions.
“I see. I understand. Then I will ask player Gang Hyeonu this time. Player Gang Hyeonu has shown his reluctance to see blood throughout this PvP competition. Yet you were more brutal than anyone else in the last game against Player Jung Hanbaek of JT Telecom. Do you have anything personal against him?” the host asked in a sharp manner.
Hyeonu’s appearance in the PvP game with Jung Hanbaek was strange. In more than 30 PvP games, Hyeonu had never caused his opponent to bleed like he did with Jung Hanbaek. Most of the time, Hyeonu had ended the fight by placing his sword near their vital point without dealing the finishing blow. He always avoided seeing blood, so no one had expected Hyeonu to cause such a sensational bleeding scene in the final game.
“Ah, I’ll say no comment because it is personal.” Hyeonu dodged the host’s question without answering it. He didn’t want to say it. His relationship with Jung Hanbaek had already been cut, and he didn’t want to get involved any longer.
‘He won’t be able to recover anyway...’
In Hyeonu’s view, Jung Hanbaek was already finished as a professional gamer. To be exact, he wouldn’t be able to hold out. In the communities, today’s video of his defeat would always follow Jung Hanbaek like a tag, and he wouldn’t be able to tolerate that. As a professional gamer, Jung Hanbaek satisfied his ego by beating his opponents and receiving the support of his fans. All of that had now turned into mockery, and his skills were questioned. It was the end for Jung Hanbaek.
‘I’m tired of being unnecessarily tangled up with him.’ Hyeonu continued to shake his head.
“Privacy... Okay, let’s pass on this question. Lastly, Player Reina, please tell us about your resolution for the remaining two days.” The host accepted Hyeonu’s answer with a subtle expression before immediately shifting his gaze to Reina.
Reina gave a standard answer, “We are second in PvP, so we will try to achieve good results in the siege and raid time attack.”
She would do her best—it was an exemplary answer.
