My Abandoned Disciples Came to Me

17. Head-to-head

“Dear President Baek Ju-seok, I openly request a magic match.”

When I made the bombshell remarks, a lot of reporters started asking questions.

“Masked instructor! Do you mean that you are confident that you can defeat President Baek Ju-seok by applying for a magic match?”

“Clearing dungeons and face-to-face combat are clearly different realms. Do you have multiple face-to-face experiences?”

“The use of external mana in person-to-person combat doesn’t seem to be very well balanced, are you going to use external mana in matchmaking?”

Aside from that, a lot of questions hit my ears. I answered their questions appropriately.

Of course, some lies mixed in.

“I have very little experience with face-to-face matches. But it’s hard to say that I’m not confident. As you can see, I am a wizard who can clear A-class dungeons alone. I don’t think I’m going to lose to President Baek Ju-suk.”

“Also, you won’t use external mana when you’re sparring. If I were to use external mana, wouldn’t President Baek Ju-seok avoid the battle with excuses? Don’t you guys think so too? I showed such a great appearance with external mana, and if I use it, of course I will avoid combat. So I will only use my inner mana when fighting him.”

‘There is nothing as effective as fighting President Baek Ju-seok like a dog in front of everyone and as a justification to show a clear difference in class. Even if you don’t use external mana, you’ll be able to achieve even more dramatic effects.’

I thought so and told the reporters.

“The question ends here. For the rest of the content, Q&A will be held on my channel and Hyena Jang’s channel, so please check there.”

Even as I turned around and walked away, the reporters did not stop asking questions. But I didn’t answer the question any further because I thought it would be better to say this and back away to attract aggro.

‘Now, even Ju-suk Baek will not be able to step down.’

If I had said that I would use [External Mana], Baek Ju-seok would have tried to avoid fighting by making excuses here and there. Also, it wouldn’t give you much of a shock if you were to lose the battle against the ridiculous monster that cleared the Class A dungeon.

But now I have publicly declared that I do not use external mana.

People don’t know if I can use S-class high magic right now. So, as long as he doesn’t use [External Mana] with a deceptive performance, he might think that there is hope for him in the battle with Baek Ju-suk. Of course, Ju-Seok Baek would think so too.

‘Because I deliberately used it mainly for low-class magic.’

The magics I used were mostly B-D-class, except for one A-class.

Assuming that you can’t use [External Mana] to stack various spells, there are only magics that don’t have that much destructive power.

Of course, I can actually use any number of high-level magic. Without using any external mana.

‘Of course, without external mana, you can’t fire multiple magic at the same time at random.’

I will never fall for Baek Ju-suk. He’s just an A-class wizard.

Seol Eun-ah approached me as I walked through the reporters.

“Congratulations, Master Mask. You’ve cleared the dungeon nicely and came out. To be honest, I was surprised too. Of course, I believed in it.”

Seol Eun-ah came to me with a pleasant smile. As I was having a personal conversation with her, the reporters were loudly asking questions again.

“Masked teacher. Do you know Seol Eun-ah, the leader of the Rooster Guild? If so, how did you get to know it? Could it be that we are lovers?”

Reporters started pouring out countless questions to dig up one more thing. Then Seol Eun-ah’s face turned red and she shouted.

“Wow… what are you talking about! I’m close with the Masked Instructor, but it’s just that we’re dating.

Seol Eun-ah glanced at me and lowered her voice and muttered.

“So… Sa… I haven’t thought about dating yet…”

Reporters around her were outraged by her reaction.

“Hey, right now Seol Eun-ah has a camera, too, and the reporters try to move a few people over there quickly, and this gives a feeling.”

Things were going to get annoying, so I stopped her and told the reporters.

“Seol Eun-ah and I have nothing to do with each other. Just by chance, I met him before I started working as a creator. Now I am helping with my video activities. So, please stop making excessive assumptions. The most important thing right now, isn’t it a confrontation with President Baek Joo-suk? I also hope that the president, please don’t turn around in a strange way for nothing and accept my request for a magic match. Because I am asking for it even with a penalty.”

Still, the heat that doesn’t go away. I left the reporters alone and took Seol Eun-ah and boarded the floating artifact on which Jang Hye-na was riding.

-dump

“Whoa!”

Hyena Jang screamed in embarrassment over the floating artifacts that flowed for a moment. I looked at her and talked.

“Let’s go now. Before it gets any worse.”

She stared blankly at me, then flew into the air.

– woo woo woo

After climbing for a while, when people looked like dots, Hyena Jang said to me.

“Masked teacher. The broadcast just ended! Have you seen a lot of viewers this time? Millions of people watched the instructor’s dungeon attack video! It’s the first time I’ve seen such a huge audience watching a broadcast while doing a real-time live broadcast so far! Was there anything that made you so excited and nervous? It’s all thanks to the masked instructor. Thank you very much!”

Hyena Jang expressed her heartfelt gratitude to me with a smile that was so good. I looked at her and talked.

“I am so grateful. Thanks to that, my awareness is growing rapidly.”

“Ugh! What do you mean? Rather, thanks to the Masked Instructor, I’m doing the rice cakes! To be honest, I… these days, the number of views has decreased and the number of real-time live broadcast viewers has also decreased, so I was very worried. Is it funny? It means that you have 5 million subscribers and you are worrying about this.”

I just understood. Because NATUBE is a system that is put off by many people if you don’t consistently upload new and fresh content. It is difficult to grow, and even if it has grown, it is difficult to maintain its explosive growth. I looked at Hyena Jang and talked.

“I’m glad you looked good. If I edit this video and upload it, I think the response will be good.”

“yes! I’m sure it’ll get at least millions of views, and if there are many, it’ll probably be over 10 million!”

“ah! That’s right… that… there…”

Hyena Jang looked at me hesitantly and spoke in a tone that seemed nervous.

“Please speak.”

“I… Maybe… Upload the video to the instructor’s channel first, and then I’ll have to upload it, right?…”

The first solo play video of the Wizard’s Class A dungeon. The value of the video was incredible. So, who uploads the video first is also an important part.

In a conversation with her beforehand, I asked Hyena Jang to shoot simultaneously with multiple cameras and magic tools to upload the video to my channel. Because I have to prepare a video to upload to her channel and a video to upload to my channel.

‘Hmm… Well, anyway, it’s more important for me to be famous than to get a lot of views on my channel.’

If it can become an issue, it doesn’t matter where the number of views is high, whether it’s Hyena Jang’s channel or my channel. And anyway, a lot of reporters who were there will also upload the dungeon attack video. It will also be published as an article. So I looked at her and talked.

“It doesn’t matter which one you put first. You only need to deliver the video you were supposed to give me properly.”

She looked at me in disbelief and said.

“Ji… Really?…”

“Yeah, because a lot of reporters also filmed it anyway.”

“Even so, what reporters post and what we post as an official one must be very different… If you don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t have to do it…”

She spoke to me, dazed, like a dog that was drenched in water.

“I know that much. I’m talking about it, so you don’t have to worry about it. Instead, please edit the video nicely and upload it, and pay special attention to the part where you applied for a public match with Baek Joo-seok.”

She smiled brightly and shouted.

“yes! Absolutely! I don’t use an editor and I’ll edit everything myself so that the masked instructor can come out great! I’ll do my best to edit it quickly! Thank you so much!”

“If you do, I’d rather be grateful.”

“Oh! Masked instructor, do you use a cell phone? Then give me your phone number!”

“Oh, give me a phone call and I’ll take a picture.”

I gave her a phone number that I had made up in case I contacted people I knew while working as a mask instructor.

As the time to leave approached, Hyena Jang smiled and greeted her.

“then! You have to be careful!”

Seol Eun-ah also greeted me with an awkward expression.

“Masked teacher. Please go in carefully….”

“Everyone worked hard today.”

After a short conversation, I broke up with Seol Eun-ah and Jang Hye-na.

‘Now… Now, all that remains is to wait.’

After returning home, after washing and resting for a while, Hyena Jang received a text message.

– Masked instructor! Editing done! I uploaded the video, can you check it? It’s awesome now!

After reading her text message, when I entered NATBUE, a video with a provocative title was uploaded.

[The Wizard’s first Class A dungeon solo clear video!! Even the declaration of war to President Baek Joo-suk!! Will President Baek Ju-seok run away? Or will we face-to-face?]

I laughed out loud when I saw the title.

‘Why do you think you can hear Jang Hye-na’s voice in the video title?’

And I clicked on the video to enter. Nicely edited video. And even my declaration of war. Everything was included.

[5 minutes before video upload], [Views: 2.2 million]

‘If the number of views exceeds 2 million in 5 minutes, it will rise to an unbelievable extent. Baek Ju-seok, try riding the sh*t for once, you bastard.’

***

At that time, Ju-Seok Baek’s office.

“f*ck! What a f*cking bastard!”

-bang

Baek Ju-seok was watching a video of a declaration of war in which a masked instructor publicly shot him.

“You f*cking bastard is climbing without knowing the subject. penalty? f*ck penalty?”

“Yeah, I admit it. That the use of external mana is great. But, when you attack the dungeon, a bastard who can’t use any S-class magic, is going to defeat me without using external mana? f*ck. You’re out of your mind.”

that he is a wizard. And, always proud of being the president of the proud Helmund Academy, he shouted in anger to his secretary.

“Get your camera ready. I’m going to shoot a video of the match.”

and not long after Helmund Academy’s official NATUBE channel was created, and Baek Ju-suk’s video was uploaded there.

[This is Helmund Academy President Baek Joo-seok.]
