you guys are weak
‘Then let’s get started.’
Kim Jin-seong sat in a straight posture in the center of the training room with a much more relaxed mind.
If the staff had not just been sent to the medical room, he would have remained in the room and continued to watch Kim Jin-seong’s research until the training room usage time was over.
Jinseong Kim didn’t like that.
‘As expected, I feel comfortable when I’m left alone.’
The habits and tendencies I had acquired while living alone my entire life were not easily changed.
Over the past year, as he has experienced all kinds of incidents since killing Yang Dong-ju, Kim Jin-seong has become much more active and independent than before.
However, it was still true that being alone made me feel more at ease and made me more efficient when training or researching.
When I lived in the basement of Fight Club, I didn’t live in an incinerator where no one came in for nothing.
‘Then, continuing from yesterday, let’s study how to use mana.’
Jinseong Kim sat down and raised his mana.
Soon the fire attribute mana flowing from his body covered the training room.
Afterwards, the undulating appearance of Mana began to change.
Little by little, it began to take on a concrete shape and clearly took on the shape of an ‘arrow’.
The sight of a fiery arrow flying towards one wall as soon as it changes.
Meanwhile, Kim Jin-seong did not even lift a finger. We are literally researching how to move mana with will alone.
‘Actually, I wanted to test it on an employee, but I thought it could kill me if I made a mistake.’
Please note that, regardless of the situation, if a player kills an employee or inflicts fatal injuries on him, the player is immediately eliminated.
Since research on mana utilization has not yet been completed and the power can be perfectly controlled, they were concerned that an employee could burn to death by accident.
‘Can’t we hire a slightly stronger employee? I don’t like all the opponents I’ve faced so far…’
Kim Jin-seong thinks something that would make the production team laugh out loud.
He absentmindedly looked back at the wall next to him.
Directly below the CCTV, there was a sign protected by tempered glass.
The sign had these words written all over it.
[The process of practicing in the training room will never be broadcast or broadcast on the Internet. Participants, feel safe and practice your new skills!]
‘···I didn’t even believe that phrase at first.’
Kim Jin-seong had made a promise ever since he became a forced laborer. That he would believe only in his own abilities.
Therefore, he did not believe that phrase and did not show any research on mana utilization.
However, even after several days, the participants’ training videos had not been leaked.
‘For a month, I couldn’t find any iTube videos showing the inside of the training room.’
I looked through all the videos from previous seasons just in case, but I didn’t see any videos of the contestants’ individual training uploaded.
In that case, wouldn’t it be safe to say that there is no risk of leakage to other participants even if they train here?
‘Well, if you had lied about something like that, rumors would have already spread on the Internet. It’s already been a few years since the Colosseum was built.’
After thinking that far, Kim Jin-seong looked away from the CCTV again.
‘Let’s stop doing other things and focus. ‘Every minute and every second is a waste.’
Breaking free from the special ankle bracelet for hunters was only allowed within the training room.
Kim Jin-seong began to move his flame mana again. This time it was Mana transforming into the shape of a burning spear.
* * *
“Hehe, that’s awesome!”
Tak Nam-gyu made a voice of admiration with a surprised face.
“But why haven’t I heard about that on TV or the Internet?”
“The principle is that videos inside the training room are kept private. “This rule has not changed since the first season.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Tak Nam-gyu spoke as if he was talking to himself with an expression as if something had just occurred to him.
“Now that I think about it, it seems like I’ve never seen it on video before. “Now that I think about it, I heard it all from you.”
Tak Nam-gyu continued, stuttering over the contents of his past conversation with Baek Jun.
“The reason why the training room video is not released… Did you say it was to create a dramatic scene that would surprise viewers later?”
“yes. “If viewers know the participants’ progress in advance, they will be less interested.”
“Well, if I had known in advance that Yoo Jun-ho realized ‘that ability’ in the training room, that moment during the finals wouldn’t have been so dramatic.”
“you’re right.”
The finals scene that Yoo Jun-ho showed in Season 4 still has the highest number of views among the videos posted on the official Colosseum channel on iTube.
“Anyway, Kim Jin-seong is like that… Of course, he’s a friend I’ve been interested in until now, but now I have to keep a close eye on him.”
“This is a player that our production team is also very excited about.”
“I guess so. Now, let’s stop talking about Kim Jin-seong…”
“There is one more person I would like to speak to.”
“There’s more?”
Tak Nam-gyu asked back with a surprised expression upon hearing that there was one more person.
This was because Kim Jin-seong alone was already an unusual enough situation.
“There are two contestants who beat the staff in the training room this season.”
“···Really?”
“yes.”
“Even just last season, wasn’t there anyone who beat the staff?”
“you’re right. “This season is a bit unusual.”
“her···.”
Baekjun asked Tak Namgyu, who was laughing.
“Do you by any chance remember the numbers 7-49?”

“know. “Aren’t you the defense force that massacred in front of District 7 during Group A of the preliminaries?”
“yes.”
“Is that the player you just said?”
Baekjun nodded.
“yes. “He is a player with the foreign name Woong.”
* * *
Pow!
“Wow!”
Craddangtang!
With a groan, a fully armed employee flew to the corner of the training hall and fell down with a loud noise.
It looked like the employee who was hit by Kim Jin-seong and was sent flying.
But what happened afterwards was completely different.
“Uh… Uh… Cough, Cluck!”
His left arm, which was writhing and spitting out blood, was bent in a deformed manner. At a glance, it was a fatal wound that shattered his bones.
And the person who made him do that was standing across from him, silently looking down at him.
A young man in his early 20s with long hair and a cold appearance. He was Shinwoong.
bang!
A few seconds later, the training room door burst open and many employees rushed inside.
They came quickly and surrounded us, wearing a lot of anti-hunter gear.
“Stop moving! “Don’t move!”
“This guy caused an accident again!”
“Hey, Shinwoong! How many times did I warn you to be gentle?! “This is not a match, it’s sparring, sparring!”
The employees who were shouting while aiming their mana guns all had very angry faces.
That’s because there were already more than ten employees who had been seriously injured by Shinwoong and taken to the hospital.
“Come see me.”
At that time, there was a man standing right in front of Shinwoong with a stern expression, hurting the employees.
It was Jang Seung-wook, vice president of the Colosseum.
“I should have warned you, right? “If I do this one more time, I might get eliminated?”
“······.”
“Why on earth are you doing this? “It’s just a sparring match, not a life-threatening match. Is it really that difficult to control your strength while considering your opponent?”
“It’s not my problem.”
Shinwoong answered in a low voice and gestured to nearby employees.
“···They fell because they were weak.”
“what?!”
“This bastard is really…!”
Jang Seung-wook urgently raised his hand to stop the employees who were getting angry.
“I can’t do that. “You are prohibited from entering any external facilities, including the training room, until the second round of preliminaries begins.”
Even though it was a statement that other participants would have considered a great loss, Shinwoong had no answer.
He just looked away with an expressionless face.
Jang Seung-wook looked straight at Shinwoong, who did not react, and continued speaking.
“Consider yourself lucky. “If it had been any other contestant than you, you would have been eliminated immediately.”
These words were sincere.
If he hadn’t created a famous scene where he single-handedly wiped out 50 people wearing the 7-49 Defense Force uniform.
So, if he wasn’t selected as one of the promising actors that viewers are paying attention to.
So, if the production team had not specifically managed him as a key character, he would have been eliminated long ago and would no longer belong to this world.
“Put on the anklet and take me to my dorm.”
Following Jang Seung-wook’s instructions, the staff immediately put a special anklet for hunters on his ankle and roughly drove him out of the training room.
As he walked as if he was being chased away, Shinwoong did not resist once. However, he just looked back at Jang Seung-wook with an unknown look in his eyes before leaving the training room.
* * *
“More than ten people?”
Baekjun nodded to Tak Namgyu’s surprised question.
“yes. “The damage to employees was so severe that entry to the training room is now prohibited.”
“He is a person with a natural tendency to be cruel. “He is like Yoo Jun-ho back then.”
Yoo Jun-ho was famous for being cruel with his hands, regardless of whether it was inside or outside of the game.
There were many hunters who were employees at the time who still shudder when they hear Yoo Jun-ho’s name.
“Yoo Jun-ho also had a lot of accidents in the training room, right?
“It was worse. “One of them was really close to death.”
Tak Nam-gyu got up from his seat and slowly approached the window. Outside, citizens were walking around the peaceful streets.
I don’t know when the portal will open again and monsters will appear, but in any case, it was a peaceful-looking street right now.
“Guys with that kind of tendency survive for a long time. It leaves no regrets. “Because they kill everyone.”
Tak Nam-gyu looked back and asked.
“So, what are his abilities?”
“I don’t know yet.”
Tak Nam-gyu’s eyes widened.
“I don’t know? “Is it possible you’ve never shown it to me until now?”
“yes. “I observed all actions in the training room for a month, but not once did he demonstrate his ability to awaken.”
“Huh… Then, is there a possibility that Shinwoong is stronger than Kim Jinseong?”
“What is certain is that Shinwoong will be much more threatening in future games.”
“I guess so. “Because I don’t know my abilities yet.”
A monster-like guy who knocks out employees close to Class A with just his pure physical ability has not even revealed his hidden card, his awakening ability, yet.
From the other participants’ point of view, there could not have been a more difficult situation.
Kim Jin-seong can at least deal with it in the future because there is so much publicly available data, but Shin-woong cannot even deal with it because he does not know what kind of awakening ability he has.
“It’s Shinwoong… I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to that player in the future. Is there anyone else besides Shinwoong?”
Baek Jun answered Tak Nam-gyu’s question.
“There are only two players who can perfectly meet the minister’s standards.”
“What if we lower the standard a little more?”
“If you look at his ability alone, Seol-daun is also noteworthy.”
“Seoldown? It’s snowing… Ah!”
Tak Nam-gyu quickly remembered who it was.
“You’re the same player who played in the group A repechage match of the preliminary round, right?”
“yes.”
“that’s right. Even when I watched the video, it seemed like his natural ability was amazing. But is there something wrong with him?”
“After the preliminaries ended, I did not use the training room even once for a month.”
“ah···.”
Tak Nam-gyu let out an exclamation that he understood.
“A typical overworked genius, yes.”
“That’s right.”
Sometimes, there are people who are born with incredibly strong abilities that make them feel like they were chosen by heaven.
This type usually doesn’t put in much effort. This is because the starting point is already so high that even if you try, it won’t be noticeable.
Seol-daun was exactly that type of ‘genius’.
“There have been many instances where such contestants have won, so we need to watch more.”
“Right. also?”
“The other one… “He is a very famous person whom the Minister already knows.”
“wait for a sec. “Let me guess.”
Tak Nam-gyu, who was shaking his head with one hand raised, soon asked a question.
“Are they perhaps supplementary personnel?”
“you’re right.”
“…I guess I know who it is, yes.”
Tak Nam-gyu raised one corner of his mouth and made a mocking expression.
Just looking at his face, he didn’t seem to have a very good impression of the person in his head.
* * *
[Training room usage time has ended. Users are requested to leave the training room within 5 minutes. I’ll say it again…]
Jinseong Kim immediately stopped using mana after hearing the guidance voice coming from the speaker on the ceiling.
The training room, which had been hot from the flames, returned to normal in an instant, and Kim Jin-seong stood up from his seat.
‘Research on mana utilization is now somewhat complete.’
A month of hard work was slowly bearing fruit.
At first, I didn’t know how much mana to inject, so I recklessly injected a large amount of mana, and the mana in my body ran out in less than an hour.
However, we have now reached a stage where we can use mana efficiently enough to use it all day long.
‘Shall we practice with the staff tomorrow?’
When I thought that far, the training room door opened.
Kim Jin-seong naturally thought that the employees were going to take him to his dormitory, so he naturally tried to move there.
However, it was not an employee.
“······!!”
Kim Jin-seong stopped in his tracks and opened his eyes wide.
The middle-aged man who opened the door was a face that Kim Jin-seong could never recognize.
‘Yang Jung-geun!’
