Ranker’s Return

triggered the patch. Every time a Quency patch was done, someone had to act as the trigger. There was no giving it first. New fields had to be pioneered and new content discovered themselves.

[It isn’t a large guild.]

[They can’t afford it. They are the ones who turn on the live stream every day and just hunt all the time. Or they play the arena. There is another reason why they can’t change species. If they change their species, they have to give up the foundation they have built so far. Who would change?]

The next thing that started to come up was speculation about people. People gathered and started a discussion. They divided it between the possible and the impossible. Even so, there were still too many names mentioned.

‘This smells…’

Hyeonu read the articles that stirred up the community and smacked his lips together. Somehow, Hyeonu seemed to know who induced this patch.

‘Teika…
it is very likely it is him.’

The person Hyeonu suspected was Teika. Not long ago, he had personally delivered information about Raccoon, so Hyeonu’s guess was even more plausible.

As Hyeonu was feeling suspicious about Teika, Yeongchan approached Hyeonu and spoke to him, “Hey, don’t you know anything this time?”

“How should I know, you jerk? You always look for me whenever there is something.
I didn’t do it.
I like being human.
I might be beaten to death by Lebron if I change species.
Am I crazy?” Hyeonu reacted harshly to Yeongchan’s question. It was because he felt like he was being ignored by Yeongchan for some reason.

“Indeed.
It would be worth seeing if his one and only disciple becomes a different species.”

Yeongchan continued with what he wanted to say regardless of Hyeonu’s grumbling.

“Still, I can think of someone.”

“You have an idea in mind?”

Hyeonu wondered when the other person became so fussy and immediately brought up his speculation to Yeongchan. “I introduced Raccoon to Teika not long ago.
When? It was that time when I was streaming the arena.
He suddenly surrendered.
I told him then.
It was secretly at that time.”

“You introduced him to Raccoon? Then it is definitely Teika.
There is nothing more to see.”

Yeongchan came to a conclusion. It was an attitude that he didn’t need to hear anything else.

“There were many kids who were kicked out while trying to enter the League of Different Species.
Some of them were killed.
That is enough.”

Yeongchan also had his own sources of information. He knew many stories about the League of Different Species. No one had managed to get all the way inside the League of Different Species. Those who were stubborn died and those who weren’t stubborn could leave.

“Are you envious?” Hyeonu watched Yeongchan for a moment before asking out of the blue.

“I am envious, yes.
It is a species change…
becoming an orc and turning on the livestream.
How many people will see it?”

Yeongchan was envious of Teika. The species change at this point was great for attracting people’s attention. It was clear that the number of viewers would increase exponentially when the livestream was turned on.

“Then you can change your species too.
What’s wrong? Teika has obviously become an orc.
Would you like to change to an elf?” Hyeonu made a suggestion to Yeongchan with a casual expression. He could introduce Yeongchan to an elf if he wanted. Hyeonu could do that much for Yeongchan.

“An elf?” Yeongchan looked captivated.

An elf. If possible, this was perfect for grabbing other people’s attention.

‘So I will turn into an elf?’

At the same time, an image popped into Yeongchan’s mind. He became an elf and looked more handsome than he did now.

“I will do it.
Introduce me quickly.”

Yeongchan jumped at Hyeonu.

“Teacher, have you finished adjusting?” Hyeonu asked as he looked down at Lebron, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him.

“What adjustment? It is training.
Training.
A strong opponent is waiting…”

Lebron opened his eyes. There was a strange heat in them. It was so clear that Hyeonu recognized it instantly.

‘Has he set a new goal?’

Lebron and John Blake succeeded in transforming their magic power into the chaos attribute with Callioraks’ help. In return, they decided to help with Callioraks’ battle.

“Will there be any significant changes within a fortnight?”

The date of the battle predicted by Callioraks was a fortnight from today.

‘I don’t know if enlightenment will suddenly come.’

It was a long time, but to be honest, it didn’t seem that long either.

“It isn’t a big deal.
It is important to take it one step at a time, this guy.
There will be big trouble when there is too much greed.”

Lebron’s fierce gaze poured toward Hyeonu. Hyeonu took Lebron’s advice casually with both eyes wide open.

“Then I’ll come back in a fortnight, Teacher.
I will dedicate my body for the empire and return.”

Hyeonu said goodbye to Lebron like this.

“What happened to the empire?”

“There is news that the undead created by the demon god targeting Edward’s body has invaded the empire.”

“The damage?” Lebron asked with a serious expression.

“It seems there is quite a lot of damage to the northern cities.”

Three cities had already been captured, but Hyeonu didn’t convey this fact. Lebron had to prepare for the raid on the temple of the demon god that would take place in a fortnight rather than going on a rampage in the middle world. In any case, the undead army wouldn’t be that scary once the fragments of the demon god were dealt with. It would be nothing.

“You must be having a hard time.
It is hard work.”

Lebron got up from his seat and lightly patted Hyeonu’s shoulder.
