“Huh? Surrender? What does that...?” Yeongchan, acting as Alley Leader, wondered in a fl.u.s.tered voice.
‘Hyeonu, what are you thinking?’
Shouldn’t Hyeonu be normal and quiet if he wanted Yeongchan to proceed? How could Hyeonu act by himself?
“So with two duels, you’re going to accept one defeat and take a break?”
“Yes, that’s it. You listened very clearly. I’ll talk to you in a little bit.”
“Ugh. I understand. I’m going to have to ask the others for their opinion. Do you agree to Romantic Assassin stepping down with one loss? Who is against it?” Yeongchan asked as he looked below the sparring ring.
Reina—Countess’ Hostess—nodded while Mister Moai raised his hand to make an O-mark. This meant they accepted it. The rest also didn’t show any negative reactions.
“Then Romantic Assassin will return to his seat with one loss. Remember, it is three losses. If you lose three duels, you will lose your masked fighter status and have to disclose your identity. Please remember it.” Yeongchan’s progress was smooth.
He was the famous Korean streamer, Argon, for a reason.
‘Should I just leave Yeongchan as the MC?’ This was the thought in Hyeonu’s mind as he descended from the sparring ground.
Simultaneously, Yeongchan got goosebumps. He had a premonition that he would come here often.
***
The next match was a showdown between Andromeda Predator and Mister Moai. It was exciting because it was a showdown between two fist-wielding men.
-Kyah, as expected, the arena is about fists.
-Swords and magic are good, but fistfights are the best.
-ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ Isn’t this like the fight between neighborhood dogs?
The level of the fight wasn’t high. A dogfight literally unfolded. The duel wasn’t at the high standards that the viewers and other participants had expected. Mister Moai believed in his physique and engaged in shut-up-and-attack tactics while Andromeda Predator also engaged in extreme close-combat techniques. No one could guess the identity of either of them.
At the end of the day, such a fight could be done by any player. They just had fun. It was a match that no one had anticipated, and the match ended with Mister Moai’s victory. Then he was defeated by Superman (Jung Hanbaek) in the next match. Jung Hanbaek didn’t last long though. Joker (Ichino) won two matches, but he was immediately defeated by Reina, ending with 2 wins and 2 losses. If one more was added to his losses, then he was in danger of revealing their identity.
From then on, viewers started to look for Romantic Assassin who didn’t participate. His unique combat style had caught their attention.
-Why isn’t Romantic Assassin coming out?
-I want to see him.
-He said 30 minutes. I think it has already been one hour.
At this moment, Romantic Assassin (Hyeonu) raised himself up.
‘I’ll have to appear here if I want to beat Jung Hanbaek again.’
It was clear that no one else could face Reina. Just an hour ago, the exact same situation had happened.
‘Reina isn’t an idiot, and she won’t be beaten by the same move twice. I’m going to have to do some modifications.’
In order to call out Jung Hanbaek, he couldn’t fight Reina with his full strength. He had to look like he won out of luck, just as he had done in the first match. The question was if Reina would be hit once more. It wasn’t a joke to be ranked 10th in the arena. If she was good enough to be beaten again, she wouldn’t have won a gold medal, let alone be ranked 10th place.
Then Yeongchan shouted from the sparring ring, “I will count to 30 seconds from now on. 30, 29, 28...”
“Stop worrying.” Hyeonu climbed back onto the sparring ring.

“I lost in vain before, but this time it won’t happen again.”
“Who knows? We’ll find out if we fight. If you’ve been beaten once, you can be beaten twice...”
Reina turned her head toward Alley Leader. Then she urged, “Start quickly!”
At her urging, Yeongchan quickly progressed the show, “Yes, this is a showdown between Countess’ Hostess, who has two victories and one loss, and Romantic Assassin, who also has two victories and one loss. It is safe to say that the winner of this match will gain the right to challenge the Masked Fighting King today. Then let’s start the game!!”
[Countess’ Hostess VS Romantic Assassin]
‘Be careful. Act cautiously.’
Reina had suffered an outrageous defeat in the previous showdown. She was beaten because she didn’t know anything at the time. This time, she thought she couldn’t be beaten because she roughly knew what technique Romantic Assassin was using.
‘The magic power manifestation is really fast. Just got to be careful.’
“Hap!” Reina showed her power from the start. She started with Ice Field, created an ice barrier, and infused her sword energy with the ice attribute. It was another expression of her desire to not lose so helplessly.
Hyeonu was watching Reina quietly because he had something to prepare.
‘Tang-E, I can only believe in you.’
To be precise, he was looking at Tang-E who was behind Reina. No one thought anything about Tang-E’s appearance on the sparring ring. Tang-E was the symbol of Alley Leader and Masked Fighting King was the content created by Alley Leader.
[You have received Bear’s Momentum.]
[Physique has increased.]
[Strength has increased.]
[You have received the Forest’s Blessing.]
[Physique has increased.]
[Health will continue to recover.]
Tang-E didn’t betray Hyeonu’s expectations. The moment he met Hyeonu’s eyes, he placed his buffs on Hyeonu.
‘Win, Master dude.’
Hyeonu’s heart lightened after receiving Tang-E’s buffs. This meant he could save Giant’s Nature.
