“So? Are you thinking that now is the time to receive the best treatment?”

Director Bang Jin-ho asked.

“Yes.”

“I think I will be able to do better than now.”

“……”

“Here is the deal. If your winning percentage in the pro league reaches 70% then I will give you an incentive. It is nonsense if you just state that you can do better without proving it.  How about it? Isn’t this fair? Is it okay with Captain-nim?”

“Yes, that is reasonable enough.”

“Shin Ji-ho, how about you?”

Shin Ji-ho was silent for a moment. It seemed like he was thinking of something before opening his mouth.

“Speaking of Lee Shin.”
“Huh?”

“I heard something strange. Our team will be bringing in Lee Shin as a coach. Didn’t Director-nim say not long ago that you were planning to see a coach?? Is this true?”

“……”

Director Bang Jin-ho frowned. He had wanted to hide this face from Shin Ji-ho.

Shin Ji-ho’s smile became rotten.

“Didn’t you see how much damage I received because of Lee Shin?”

“We are pros. Don’t dwell on such things.”

“I’m still young so I am lacking the professionalism of a pro. I can’t help it.”

Shin Ji-ho stood up.

“Forget about the earlier conditions. Instead, I have one condition.”

Shin Ji-ho said before leaving the office.

“No Lee Shin.”

The two people were left looking at each other with difficult expressions.

“What do we do? Can you talk to him?”

“I’m not going to. The damage Lee Shin caused to his consciousness is too strong.”

Shin Ji-ho had been twisted by Lee Shin.

If Lee Shin came here then he was likely to run out.

“Should we give up on Lee Shin?”

“……Lee Shin is required.”

Director Bang Jin-ho had become sure of it after Lee Shin’s commentary at the 3R PO.

-Isn’t he using a custom shortcut on the monitor? I’m not sure he can deal with a distraction like that.

Director Bang Jin-ho was shocked at his words. Because it was completely accurate.

It was amazing that he could tell just from the screen.

‘A genius!’

An innate talent to intuitively sense things ordinary people couldn’t see.

Lee Shin needed to be their coach! Director Bang Jin-ho was sure of it.

But Shin Ji-ho was the team’s ace so this was another matter.

“It is really difficult.”

Park Sang-hyuk and Director Bang Jin-ho both sighed.

Shin Ji-ho returned to the training room in an unpleasant mod when he felt a weird vibe from the players practicing.

Group 1 and Group 2 trainees were gathered in one place watching a replay.

And a player from Group 2, Jeong Da-ul had a depressed expression on his face.

“What? What is wrong?”

Shin Ji-ho questioned Jeong Da-ul about the long faces.

“Hyung, I was broken.”

“Broken once or twice? There is a reason for it.”

“I’m not like that.”

“What? Weren’t you broken by another trainee?”

“That would be much better.”

Jeong Da-ul said in a voice that sounded like he was dying.

“I was broken online.”

“What? By who? The rating?”

“I don’t know. These days, an A rated amateur is becoming quite popular.”

“Who is that?”

“Hyung, do you know? A player called Sin.”

“Ah…..”

He seemed to have heard it before.

Player_SIN.

A user with an undefeated streak that gained huge popularity among gamers. The ID wasn’t that of a pro player so he ignored it.

“I see.”

He became interested in the user.

Jeong Da-ul and Player_SIN had played a total of 3 games.

Jeong Da-ul’s main species was the G.o.d Clan. The map was Omnipotent Throne.

Despite Jeong Da-ul choosing a map favourable to the G.o.d Clan, he had lost 3 times.

Group 2 trainees were capable of entering professional compet.i.tions. Jeong Da-ul wasn’t an amateur that would be fooled by the opponent.

In the 1st set, Player_SIN completed 2 armour stations and plugged in 2 high speed vehicles.

The high speed vehicles could be used to make the units fasters.

Once the mine development was completed, the 2 high speed tanks with armour attached sped off quickly.

Jeong Da-ul wasn’t lax enough to allow it to enter the camp. He blocked the entrance with 4 weaponized Colossus.

The high speed vehicles changed directions away from Jeong Da-ul’s base. They headed for the expansion base instead.

The production units collected resources were destroyed before they were completed. The buildings were vulnerable to a blow from the high speed vehicles.

Player_SIN just organized some income from the high speed vehicle.

“The defense is well done.”

Shin Ji-ho muttered.

The high speed vehicles were sent quickly to check for the different plays. Then the opponent’s production units were immediately attacked in order to disrupt supplies. But it wasn’t easy to prepare for even if the opponent knew it in advance.

“It is beneficial to them right? I couldn’t expand early on due to the high speed vehicles.”

“I can see.”

Shin Ji-ho said to the players that gathered around him.

Somehow Jeong Da-ul’s face became even more depressed.

After 30 seconds, the video transitioned into another scene.

It coincided with the timing that Jeong Da-ul completed production units and sent them to the expansion base.

The new production units were escorted by 10 Faithful and 4 Weaponized Colossus.

But at this moment, Player_SIN simultaneously released 8 armoured tanks. They started attacking the Faithful that were moving.

The Weaponized Colossus tried to stop them but the high speed armoured tanks persistently killed the Faithful.

The 10 Faithful were wiped out.

The high speed vehicles then retreated like an ebbing tide.

“Wow, excellent control.”

“It was cleared out in one moment.”

“His hands are fast.”

The players were shocked.

2 high speed tanks could kill a Faithful. Player_SIN had 8 high speed vehicles so if they divided into 2:1 then 4 Faithful would be killed in one rush.

They were controlled as quick as lightning and the 10 Faithful were wiped out. The Weaponized Colossus counterattacked but only 1 high speed vehicle was destroyed.

Shin Ji-ho was amazed by the other side.

‘He figured out when the buildings would be completed.’

Once it was completed, he precisely calculated the timing in seconds to send them on an ambush.

It was a first-cla.s.s play.

‘Who on earth is he?!’
