Ranker’s Return

abilities.

Hyeonu said, “First of all, welcome to Crescent Moon.
Training won’t start until six players are gathered together.
Just hunt as you normally do.”

“I understand.
Then what should I do about New Moon?” Yoo Hyeonsu asked.

“New Moon? What to do? Maybe even now, Nike is working on filtering the applicants,” Hyeonu answered casually.
Nike Management was working hard on New Moon. They were eagerly selecting candidates according to the standards Hyeonu set.

‘People who won’t have any dust come out when they are shaken.’

Hyeonu only wanted them to meet this one condition.
Nothing else mattered much.

‘Most of them will be around level 300 anyway.’

It was clear that their level and skills would be similar.
The applicants knew best whether they had the strength to be a professional gamer.

“There must be like our captain Yoo Hyeonsu.
There must be no chance of controversy appearing in Crescent Moon.”

“I like that, but…
it won’t be easy.
It is hard to find someone who isn’t darkened.”

Yoo Hyeonsu wanted to be a professional player, so he knew the situation better than anyone else.
He knew everything about his friends and competitors—who represented the arena, what their personality was like, and what their connections were.

“Therefore, I need your help.
Please help Supervisor Gang and Coach Jeong.
Our side doesn’t have enough information.
Pick the roster that you want.
The strength will be created by me.
Focus on personality, even if they are a bit lacking.”

Hyeonu was also going to make Yoo Hyeonsu participate in the qualification screening of the New Moon participants. There was no one more knowledgeable in that field.
No matter how many were moving in Nike Management, they were like fireflies in front of the sun in front of Yoo Hyeonsu, an insider.

“Have you eaten dinner?” Hyeonu asked.

Hyeonu talked to Yoo Hyeonsu for a long time before feeling the need to end the discussion. He was very hungry because he hadn’t had a proper meal all day.
The answer that Hyeonu wanted to hear popped out of Yoo Hyeonsu’s mouth: “Not yet.” 

“Then get ready, and let’s go to dinner.
I’ll introduce you to another friend today.”

Hyeonu had another friend of the same age.
He was a very nice and good friend.

“That friend will buy the meal.
He is a friend who likes to meet people.
He also has a habit of buying food when making new friends.”

Hyeonu and Reina’s method of hunting together had changed a lot. Hyeonu was the biggest part of the change. His direct involvement in combat was eliminated.

Hyeonu sat on the back of the rhinoceros demonic creature and didn’t let the soles of his feet touch the ground. However, the speed of the hunt didn’t decrease much. It was because there were two more people participating in the battle instead of Hyeonu—the magic spirit and Tang-E.

The two of them joined the battle on behalf of their master, Hyeonu.
Hyeonu just used his mouth well.

“Tang-E, I told you not to fight like that.
Delicately, eh? Use your magic power delicately.
You already have enough power.”

The moment Hyeonu’s words ended, the magic power surrounding Tang-E’s hands subsided.

“Magic spirit, why can you only do that? Huh? Work hard, work hard.
Tang-E and Reina are suffering because you can’t do it properly.”

After talking to Tang-E, Hyeonu continued to point things out to the magic spirit. Hyeonu learned that the magic spirit had developed a certain amount of ego and entrusted him with autonomous battles. It had a great effect.
The proficiency of Magic Spirit Creation was rising insanely fast. It was much faster than when Hyeonu moved the magic spirit himself.

“Reina, you are doing well.
Instead, I think it would be better if you moved your magic power a bit faster.” Hyeonu’s comments also turned toward Reina.

Yet contrary to his earlier criticism that was like a sharp dagger, his encouragement toward Reina was like a warm spring breeze.
The three individuals fighting were gradually developing for different reasons.

One wanted to avoid being reprimanded.

One wanted to meet expectations.

One person didn’t want to look ugly.

‘Damn Master dude, he isn’t teaching me properly…’ Tang-E pouted with the appearance of a polite high school student. Tang-E didn’t like Hyeonu’s evaluation. Hyeonu said something from time to time, but he didn’t teach Tang-E in detail as he did when he taught others. Now he was even using his mouth to say such sharp words.

‘Aish!’ Tang-E controlled the powerful magic power flowing through his body toward his right hand. Black magic power sped through the world like a light. There was no end to its movement; nothing stopped the black light.
The bodies of the demonic creatures burst like they had been bombed.

One, two, three…

In the end, all the demonic creatures except the one the magic spirit was dealing with were killed.

“Sigh… It’s annoying,” Tang-E muttered and changed his appearance again.

He returned to his original appearance of a cute little bear. Reina approached Tang-E with a faint smile.
Tang-E naturally jumped into Reina’s arms.

“Tang-E, he is just saying this to make you better.
Don’t take it to heart.” Reina knew why Tang-E was upset.

‘This is the time when he needs more praise,’ Reina thought.

Tang-E had been monopolizing a lot of Hyeonu’s affection all this time.
So he became very dissatisfied when a lot of Hyeonu’s affection for him was shared with the magic spirit recently.

“Bah. No.
Damn Master dude won’t do that.” Tang-E’s temper didn’t go away easily this time.

Just then, Hyeonu called out the magic spirit’s name loudly: “Ahh, the magic spirit!!”

Reina’s and Tang-E’s gazes turned toward the magic spirit.
An intense light was being released from the magic spirit’s body.
