Colleagues (1)

"It was a terrible defeat."

Director Gabriel opened his mouth.

"Do any of you think . . . ?"

The players are quiet. Because it wasn't a tone of praise.

"In terms of the score, it was a good result. However, looking at the contents, it was just that they persistently dragged on a game that they had no choice but to lose."

To be precise, the hard carry of Pietro and Seo Moon-yeop grabbed the team by the collar and led it to a close game.

"Aside from the two players on our team, it didn't work against a world-class team. Rapid growth through fast hunting was good, but if you haven't been able to pose a threat to the enemy even after growing like that, this is a homework that needs to be supplemented. We are a team aiming for the World Champions quarterfinals or higher."

Coach Gabriel played the video prepared with the coaching staff.

"First of all, this is a video of all the kill scenes of both teams. Look at this and see the difference between the two teams."

It was a fun video where the kill scenes of both teams continued to unfold.

The person who appeared the most was definitely Seo Moon-yeop.

Seo Moon-yeop, who had a total of 14 kills and 4 assists until the 3rd set, was the player with the most kills in the game.

There was a scene where Pietro was gathering kills with summoning magic, and Saniya's 2 kills were also seen.

However, because it was also a losing match, there were more kill scenes in Berlin Blitz.

"Our team only managed to get a few kills."

said Gary.

Director Gabriel nodded and asked.

"Are there any more?"

"We gave away kills too easily because of our lack of defense."

Paul Collins replied. It contained the meaning of self-reflection as the main tank.

"Have you given up kills easily? Can anyone explain that more accurately?"

Other players tried hard, but no clear answer came.

In the end, Seo Mun-yeop, who was still, spoke.

"They rarely have solo kills."

It was.

In the Berlin Blitz, there were no solo kills except for Daniel Mantz who ran alone and caught Shim Young-soo.

Only then did Paul Collins burst into exclamation with an 'ah'.

Now I can understand why it was difficult to block enemy attacks throughout the game.

The players of the Berlin Blitz did not try to play alone.

Star players like that might be greedy for solo kills, but I thoroughly played cooperatively with my colleagues.

If a colleague made a gap, he helped make the gap bigger, and another colleague made a 100% sure kill.

Director Gabriel played the video again.

Only then did the players see the true meaning of the video again.

In Berlin Blitz, at least 2, and at most 4, cooperated in the kill.

"As you can see, the Berlin Blitz is an exceptionally high assist team. But it's not just them, the strong teams that regularly compete in World Champions have a higher assist-to-kill ratio than other teams. What is the result? Are they very easy to kill?"

The players nodded.

"This is a great team. They will continue to concede kill opportunities to teammates until their odds of success increase. Originally, this kind of playmaking was focused on one person, Daniel Mantz, but now the linkage has been strengthened by multiple players working together. Zhou Lin, a freshman, and Chen Jin's assistant

Looking at a lot of things, the recruitment seems to have been successful."

Zhou Lin freely uses a long six-pointed spear.

And Chen Jin, who diligently helps his colleagues here and there while flying through the air with 'zero gravity'.

It clearly showed what coach Emre Casa wanted.

"How were we? That's about the number of assists we recorded in today's match."

Ironically, Seo Mun-yeop had the most assists in the three sets.

Seo Mun-yeop is 4 o'clock.

Pietro's 3 assists followed, and Gary also recorded 3 assists, barely saving face as a veteran with a long experience in the big leagues.

"Did you see it? The difference in individual abilities is not a loser. We are surprisingly competitive in individual capabilities. But the crucial difference is cooperative play."

At the same time, coach Gabriel called Saniya.

"Saniya, how did your skills compare to the players in Berlin Blitz?"

"..."

Saniya didn't answer easily. She is always full of confidence, but she didn't show much today, so she had nothing to say.

Director Gabriel smiled.

"I see that you are not far behind them."

Seo Moon-yeop also nodded. Saniya's figure from the perspective of analysis was world-level.

"But many of the strong teams that want you will see you as a prospect to teach and nurture, not immediately. Having worked at Lumiere in Paris, I can assure you."

Saniya's expression darkened. I was a little bit proud of myself.

"That's why. You have to play well in cooperation to go to the World Champions. Very few players can get a solo kill."

Director Gabriel pointed to Seo Mun-yeop and said.

"There is no other player who makes solo kills like this. Basically, even Nathan Bernach is more often aided by his teammates than solo kills. He was noted as a genius, but there are countless prospects who failed because he couldn't change his habit of rampaging alone. Everyone now knows what we need to improve on

peel?"

"ancient!"

"great. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. The upcoming regular matches of the KB-1 League may be a little easier for you, but don't be complacent and consider this a good opportunity to practice cooperative play. And the club owner?"

"uh."

"It is the same with the owner. I know you made a bet with the players on MVP, but please focus on assists rather than solo kills."

At those words, Seo Mun-yeop's face twisted.

The players laughed out loud.

A red flag was put on Seo Moon-yeop's MVP bet.

***

Before returning home, Germany gave me a special two-day vacation. The players went out to play saying they were excited, and Seo Moon-yeop had a drink with his old friends after a long time.

"job! Foreword Job!"

A large black man with a naive impression waved happily.

It was Eric Thuram, a fellow 7 hero.

The man who loves fishing the most in France. However, he was also an unlucky man who was banned from fishing by his model-turned-wife because of his risky behavior as a thrill addict.

"Oh, yes yes. you are here too Is fishing still prohibited?"

"No, the ban has been lifted. but i can't go far My location is always checked by GPS!"

Eric Thuram in tears.

Seo Moon-yeop giggled.

"You can fish nearby. Then, are you going to catch whales in the Pacific?"

"I want to try that too, but I'm going to get a divorce."

"Yes, I met a very nice wife."

Seo Mun-yeop patted Eric Thuram, who was crying and spouting.

"You are late."

Emre Casa said bluntly.

This was Emre Casa's mansion.

As befits a manager who leads a world-famous club, the mansion was large and splendid. However, as expected from Emre Casa, the interior was stark utilitarianism with no ornaments.

"Noisy, I lost to you guys so I had some time to reflect."

"Funny, isn't that good enough?"

Shuran, who had already been drinking wine alone like a drink, argued and listened. To Choin, wine was literally a beverage, so it was not a strange thing.

"What are you good at? Well, to you it looks like we did a good job, but to the experts it's not. Right, Casa?"

"It still lacks a lot. But just having two strong aces is threatening enough."

Emre Casa readily recognized YSM's shortcomings.

There was no way a famous director of that level would not recognize him.

"By the way, what the hell is Pietro Anella? When I looked at it, it seemed to be performing tricks that seemed familiar to me."

Emre Casa asked.

At that, Eric Thuram also raised his hand and said.

"me too! It was the same psychic power as the scary underground man I saw in the last dungeon! What exactly is that Italian man?"

"I was also surprised. So I immediately brought him in as a player. There are many supernatural powers in the world, right? After living there, there are people who use abilities similar to those of the High Priestess."

Seo Moon-yeop roughly looked around like that.

Everyone looked suspicious, but there was no reason to associate Pietro with the long-dead High Priest.

"After researching, the contract period was 7 years with an annual salary of 100 million. Are these the terms of the contract that make sense?"

When Emre Casa questioned, Eric Thuram jumped in surprise.

"what! Job, what a disappointment! It's an outrageous slave contract!"

"I was originally a guy who wasn't interested in money, so I just gave it roughly. Why are you researching other people's players and making a fuss? don't sell! Don't even dream!"

"I'm also thinking about 200 million euros."

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry, but I'm the one who donated close to 2 billion euros. Do you think you will be shaken by money?"

It was true that he had donated all his property according to his will because he had been treated as deceased unintentionally.

"What are the conditions for signing in the summer transfer market and transferring next year? Of course the money is prepaid. Then you guys can also take Pietro to the World Champions challenge this year."

"Oh, no, I'm not selling it. You don't even go there anyway I even naturalized because I liked Korea, but would you like to go to Germany?"

"Tsk, where did you find such a player..."

Emre Casa eventually had to give up with a click on his tongue.

Munyeop Seo, Emre Casa, Shuran, and Eric Thuram.

After a long time, the members of 7 Heroes gathered together.

But besides the four of them, there were also people.

"Hey, hey, I'm there too..."

A man raising his hand and speaking cautiously.

It was only then that Seo Mun-yeop found a dwarf Indian man who didn't have much of a presence.

His physique was unusually small and dwarfed for a superhuman, and his face was extremely young, so he still looked like a boy. The drooping eyebrows, the large, innocent-looking eyes, and the somewhat gloomy complexion.

The name of this gloomy Indian, who is just as likely to be misunderstood as a melancholic, is Khan Aryan.

He was a member of 7 Heroes.

"Hey, are you here too?"

Seo Moon-yeop was surprised.

Even during the 7 hero days, we weren't very close.

He was Khan Aryan, who was very talkative and had an introverted personality, and Seo Mun-yeop was not kind, so he only raided dungeons and did not try to get close to him personally. So he had no opportunity for personal acquaintance.

It was surprising that Khan Aryan, who was like that, appeared at this drinking party in an unusual way.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too. What have you been doing?"

"Meantime? ha ha ha······."

Khan Aryan only smiled forlornly.

Because of that, the atmosphere suddenly subsided, and Eric Thuram, who dislikes heavy atmosphere, was restless.

"why? How have you lived all this time?"

Khan Aryan couldn't answer easily, and instead, Shuran spoke as if he was scowling.

"I lost all my money gambling."

"Well, to be blunt like that… and besides, I lost it all by gambling…"

"The other half was paid for divorce alimony."

Shuran delivered a blow as deadly as the annihilation ray to Khan Aryan.

Only then did Seo Mun-yeop recall the old memories.

"Oh right. Come to think of it, you've been a casino addict since long ago, right?"

Khan Aryan bowed his head.

A member of the 7 Heroes who saved humanity and a hero of India.

But he was also a shameful hero in India.

Khan Aryan was a gambling addict, unlike his innocent boyish appearance.

Khan Aryan said to Seo Moon-yeop with a blushing face.

"Hey, I'm sorry, but is there any job for me on your team?"
