Shuran (1)

The youngest member of the 7 Heroes, Shuran, appeared on the battlefield.

That fact heated up the world.

"I heard that there are no plans for a professional league yet, only the World Cup."

While resting after dinner, Baek Je-ho said.

"How long has the penalty been lifted?"

"It has been lowered to 20%."

"It's an 80% power extinction ray..."

"As the power decreased, the aura consumption decreased by 20%."

"It will be hot."

"It's not just hot, isn't it living hell? Does it make sense to use an extinction ray on a person?"

Baekje-ho asked questioningly.

As one of the 7 heroes, it was Baekje-ho who knew the power of Shuran well.

Humanity's final weapon for conquering the final dungeon.

In the last dungeon, overcoming all the difficulties and fighting the high priest, it was hard to imagine without Shuran.

"China must have been in a hurry. Bring in Shuran. It must have been hard to convince."

At those words, Seo Mun-yeop shook his head.

"If you think so, you must be very mistaken."

"why?"

"It must have been prepared longer than we thought."

"Do you know anything?"

"When you saw it before, you know that Shuran has an extra superpower, right?"

"Yes, perhaps it was to determine the position of the opponent?"

"How do you think you got that superpower?"

"I know? Is there any reason why he would have such superpowers?"

"Hey, what the fuck are you talking about? It's more convincing to say that it came about while playing Battlefield."

"Ah, not really."

Only then did Baek Je-ho agree.

Seo Moon-yeop continued.

"Looking at it then, physically, I felt more disciplined than when I was 17. Now that I think about it, China has already been preparing with Shuran."

"You didn't rush into it, did you?"

"It must be because of the World Cup results. Shuran is also tired of not doing anything and playing around, so he may have thought that he wanted to do something."

In China, Shuran was the queen.

His personality was so damn good that if Korea had Seo Mun-yeop, it would be safe to say that the continent had Shuran.

A woman with a bad temper who could unleash a beam of mass destruction if she was mistaken, so it was best not to touch her.

What this meant was that if you didn't like Shuran, no matter what anyone said, you couldn't do it. It is because he had his own will that he participated in the battle field.

"If it had been prepared a long time ago, it would have been announced because it was already completed tactically, right?"

"Perhaps it is? Well, it's obvious even without looking at the tactic of using Shuran."

The tactic of using Shuran had already been introduced by Seo Moon-yeop.

It was a solid formation centered on Shuran.

Shuran treasured the aura and fired the extinction beam only at the crucial moment, that is, at the moment ordered by Seo Moon-yeop.

The remaining 6 moved while thoroughly protecting Shuran.

It didn't mean that it was surrounded and protected.

It meant that the six people were busy running around the battlefield, blocking all possible threats.

That was the reason why Seo Mun-yeop gathered the 7 heroes, focusing on superhumans with fast feet. In the last dungeon, there were many monsters and underground people with tremendous destructive power, so even a strong tanker could not withstand a head-on collision.

I wondered if China might have thought of recreating it as well.

China also has many fast-footed and agile players, so it was possible to reproduce it sufficiently.

Because Shuran had seen how Seo Moon-yeop gave instructions and moved in the past, he must have passed them on to the Chinese national team.

"I've been hiding it, but now I'm revealing it. Sneaky bastards."

The World Cup regional qualifiers will begin soon.

In Asia, Asian countries will also compete for tickets to the World Cup.

Of course, there was nothing difficult about the regional qualifiers.

No matter how bad it was, it was on the high side in Asia. Korea has always advanced to the World Cup finals, so it was not difficult to break through this qualifying round.

However, it does not matter that they will collide with China in the regional qualifiers.

Originally, they were always pushed back by China, but this time, Seo Moon-yeop was also participating, so if they lost, they would be criticized differently than usual.

"China, which secretly prepared Shuran, is sly, but I don't think we, who naturalized Pietro, have anything to say."

Seo Moon-yeop answered with a smile.

"Come to think of it, it is. Considering his true identity, we are the ones who are really sinister."

Baekjeho sighed as he said that.

"To live and live to see the Great Priest playing for our country's national team."

"It will be a good showdown with Shuran."

Saying that, Seo Mun-yeop laughed.

It would be good to call it a monster war.

If Shuran shoots a annihilation beam, Pietro will wipe out the battlefield with a heroic blow.

"Are there any friends from the last dungeon who contacted you because of Pietro?"

Baekje-ho asked.

"There was. Emre Casa."

***

Berlin Blitz BC.

Emre Kassa, a member of the 7 Heroes Who Saved Humanity and who has lifted the World Champions League trophy four times, has recently been in deep pensive.

'I'm being pushed by Paris.'

Paris Lumiere has always been a rivalry with the Berlin Blitz.

The fierce competition between the two clubs was evident even looking back over the past five years.

2018 World Champions Champion, Paris Lumiere.

In 2019 and 2020, the Berlin Blitz won the World Champions two years in a row.

In 2021, Paris Lumière wins.

In 2022, win the Berlin Blitz.

Just as there are top 3 players in the world, the club is also called the top 3, but recently it has been a dichotomy between Paris and Berlin.

The New York Bears, who were called the top 3 together, enjoyed the 2010s, but in 2016, they had no relationship with the World Champions Cup.

Rather, in 2017, with the emergence of a new star, the Los Angeles Warriors, who won a surprise championship, were being called new opponents to Paris and Berlin.

In any case, the trend meant that the power game that clubs in America were already enjoying was dying out.

Of course, Gerald Walker, the new successor of the power game, is growing terribly, but it was evaluated that he was still not enough compared to the top 3.

Anyway, the three clubs classified as top 3 had distinct styles.

New York Bears is a 4-tank power game centered on big man classic tanks. As the classic tank went downhill, the New York Bears also went down with it.

Of course, as Gerald Walker has grown explosively recently, he was aiming to recapture the World Champions Cup again.

Recently, the tactic was changed to a 3-tank player, and it was quite threatening as it compensated for its weakness, mobility, with quick-footed dealers.

On the other hand, Paris Lumiere was using a 3-tank tactic that made use of the overall mobility, focusing on fast-footed tanks that were quickly becoming the trend.

The key to that tactic is not the team's ace, Nathan Bernach, but the main tank, Chichi Lucas.

Chichi Lucas was quick enough to move in sync with the speedy Nathan Bernach. It was Chichi Lucas, the 'Guardian of Italy', who has led the heyday of Paris so far.

The reason Nathan Bernach was able to run amok was thanks to Chichi Lucas moving together and protecting him.

But this year, 2023, Nathan Bernach was all about Paris.

2023 European Champions League.

The Berlin Blitz, led by coach Emre Casa, lost to Paris Lumiere in the final.

'Nathan Bernach has grown more than last year.'

Until last year, Nathan was a berserker who only believed in Chichi Lucas and went on a rampage. Chichi Lucas chases and covers, so you can trust him and pour more than 100% of your capabilities into attacks.

But this year, he showed a more careful play.

Careful, but not passive.

When he sees an opportunity, he jumps in without fail and becomes a true killer.

'It was easy to deal with when I ran amok without knowing how scary the world was. What the hell happened?'

Nathan, who was still young, did not show it, but he could not control his overflowing confidence.

He could continue to be bold at the thought that no one could match him.

This gradually turns into reckless play, and the Berlin Blitz did not miss such a target.

But this year was different.

I don't know why Nathan is suddenly showing a matured look, but I can't help but guess.

'Seo Moon-yeop went to Paris once. I must have tried it then.'

There was no way that Nathan, who was overconfident, would have left Seo Mun-yeop alone when he visited the Paris clubhouse just in time.

And if you stick

'I must have lost.'

Emre Casa believed that even Nathan could not defeat Seo Moon-yeop. Seo Moon-yeop's genius in the dungeon was beyond imagination.

Anyway, I don't know if I learned a lesson then, but it was a problem because Nathan Bernach was showing explosive performance.

The European Champions League trophy has already been handed over, and the upcoming World Champions Cup should not be handed over.

However, there was no way to win.

'Should I reinforce the players? If I had been able to recruit Seo Moon-yeop, I wouldn't have had to worry about this.'

For reference, coach Emre Casa liked to use a solid strategy that focused on basic skills that did not get swayed by trends.

It does not favor any one position, and utilizes all players evenly. He has never been biased towards trends, so when he wins, he is praised, and when he misses, he is ridiculed for being stubborn.

However, coach Emre Casa has no intention of changing his tactical style.

However, it seemed necessary to reinforce players to block Nathan Bernach.

So, in the transfer market this summer, the player Emre Casa showed interest in was Pietro Anella.

It uses a strange psychic power called summoning, and the destructive power is so great that even director Emre Casa was surprised.

'But why do you think I've seen it somewhere?'

It was a strange superpower.

However, it was almost as if the fact that each of the aura chunks came alive and moved in human form was a superpower that humans can develop. Rather, it was a superpower that was more suitable for Ji-jeo.

Anyway, I thought Seo Mun-yeop found another great player.

So, as soon as the summer transfer window hit, I made an offer to YSM, but was rejected with a single blow.

Seo Moon-yeop received a direct call.

- Hey, we're also aiming to win the World Champions next year. Don't even think about taking him to Piet.

'Do you know how fierce the competition to win the World Champions is?'

For coach Emre Casa, whose blood runs dry every year due to the competition to win the World Championship, it was absurd to say that he was aiming for the World Champions with such a team, but I thought it was Seo Moon-yeop's style.

In any case, the summer transfer market was fruitless as the signing of Pietro Anella failed. Other than that, there was no player I wanted to recruit.

But after the transfer season passed, the player I wanted appeared again.

Coach Emre Casa gave the order as soon as the player appeared.

"Contact the Chinese side! Tell Shuran I'm asking to see you. I will go find it myself."

Unusually, Emre Casa made time to visit China despite being busy.

The first person I met was Li Chang, vice president of the Chinese Battlefield Association.

Vice-Chairman Li Chang, who was treated as a hero by conquering numerous dungeons in the era of the underground war and fighting devotedly, was also a contributor to persuading Shuran to play Battlefield.

Shuran was one of the few people who listened, so he needed to convince Vice Chairman Li Chang first.

"According to the rules, Shuran, who is a rookie without a professional game experience, can still join Berlin Blitz. You know this?"

Director Emre Casa's words were conveyed through an interpreter.

In Europe, the entry rules for new players were somewhat liberal. Because they want to bring even one more talented superman to their country, they tend to grant visas and actively recommend acquiring nationality.

In order to be allowed to sign a player outside the transfer period, it was a condition that he had to have no team and no playing experience, so it was practically irrelevant to big league clubs, but Shuran was an exception.

Just like Pietro, who suddenly appeared during the season in Korea.

Vice Chairman Li Chang replied.

"You know. Besides you, other famous clubs have been in contact. But our answer is the same. Shuran doesn't want to be a professional player."

"Is the Battlefield enough for the World Cup? It's Shuran-like arrogance."

Director Emre Casa, who grumbled like that, continued to speak.

"Is this in line with the position of the Chinese association, which wants to keep Shuran's performance a secret until the World Cup finals?"

"exactly."

Vice-Chairman Li Chang easily admitted that fact.

It was in the same context that Shuran's training had been kept secret until now.

In any case, there was a strong will to win this World Cup, or at least a runner-up.

Director Emre Casa pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"If you do, you won't be able to beat Korea."
