Quarterfinals (1)

"damn."

Johar, who had to return to India tomorrow, was gloomy.

In the match against Korea in the round of 16, he only scored 1 assist in the 1st and 2nd sets.

It was sleepy.

His 'remote control' of pouring out dozens of shurikens at once had tactical value. He met Khan Aryan's 'Deadly Poison' and his insufficient attack power was reinforced.

However, the attack was thwarted by South Korea.

In the second set, South Korea's Seo Moon-yeop became the assault leader and defeated India's formation.

Unlike the first set, this time Zohar didn't throw shurikens and saved them, but that wasn't the right answer either.

Seo Mun-yeop, who had been digging in after killing the tanker, literally shattered India by himself.

The Indian national team, which specializes in hit and run, centered on Johar, had many long-distance dealers, but proved to be vulnerable in close combat.

Zohar's tactical value was further reduced.

He even became the victim of Seo Moon-yeop's 2 kills. When Seo Moon-yeop came aiming for him, he turned around and ran away, but the moment he turned his back, a predicted javelin flew and cut off his breath.

It was a scene that clearly revealed that he had quick feet, but his reflexes were not as fast.

Up until now, he had been reevaluated as a player while leading the Indian national team to the round of 16, but at the last minute, his limits were exposed again.

The veteran Zohar was well aware of that fact.

'Do I have to end my career in India like this?'

Zohar felt indignant. It was really sad to have no talent.

After making every effort to maximize his only weapon, 'remote control', he established his current style, but even this was not enough.

Deciding to face reality, Zohar quietly packed his things at the inn. But then, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller, it was his own agent.

-Johar, can I speak?

"yes. Have you contacted me from the Netherlands?"

Zohar asked just in case.

He was currently receiving offers from lower clubs in the Dutch league.

There is a player with a superpower called 'bleeding' in that club, and it seems that it will be a good combination with Zohar who can hurt many enemies.

The Dutch league wasn't very high level, but it was a good stepping stone to the big leagues, at least better than India.

-Ah, with that being said, the conditions weren't very good. Yesterday's game report is nitpicking that you have a fatal weakness.

"also······."

Zohar gritted his teeth. He had expected it to be like this. It was common to find faults in negotiations, and they were taking advantage of Zohar's eagerness to advance into Europe.

-But I have a more interesting proposal than that.

"yes? Where are you?"

-korea.

"korea? I'm not going to Europe. Rather than going to Korea, I will just play in India."

Zohar was angry.

But the story that followed was really interesting.

-Even if it is a World Champions club?

"···yes?"

-There was a recruitment offer from YSM. Seo Moon-yeop's team that fought yesterday!

"So, did Seo Moon-yeop see me yesterday?"

- Oh, I don't think so. The person who is interested in you is the manager of the team. Seeing you well, it seems that Seo Moon-yeop gave you permission to recruit him.

Johar was disappointed that it was not Seo Moon-yeop who was interested. Seo Mun-yeop, who had seen yesterday's bad fight, had no reason to evaluate himself favorably, so he was convinced.

"If YSM's director is Gabriel Sana, right? From Lumiere, Paris."

-Yes, he was a young leader raised in Lumiere, Paris.

Director Gabriel Sana began to gain fame along with the rapid progress of YSM and Seo Moon-yeop.

It is also widely known that he was a promising young leader as a youth coach for Paris Lumiere BC.

There was also a story that the Morrow brothers would not have let Gabriel go if they hadn't been big fans of Seo Moon-yeop.

-I had a direct phone call with the manager, and he said he was planning to strategically use you as a rotation member. know? YSM also has Khan Aryan.

"I'm thinking of using it with Khan Aryan."

-Yes, because the effect has already been proven in the World Cup. It's a shame that you're Asian, but it's your chance to play in the World Champions right away.

Rahula Johar's face lit up with hope.

It was a good chance to add World Champions to his career.

***

Battlefield craze blew in Korea.

With Seo Moon-yeop, already a national hero, playing an active role, Battlefield was on the trend of growing into the best major sport in Korea.

It was a festive atmosphere when they advanced to the quarterfinals with a series of victories until the World Cup.

In order to take over the fever of the World Cup, each club in the KB-1 league was preparing a large transfer fund.

Even after the World Cup, interest in Battlefield would not disappear for a while.

At that time, it was the will to raise the fans' expectations with a super-large recruit.

They were aiming for players playing in Europe as well as members of the national team leading World Cup success. That's because it can raise the expectations of the fans.

As Korean clubs showed their enthusiasm in the transfer market, the world's interest in the KB-1 league also increased. It was a sign that the KB-1 League was about to grow further.

Of course, YSM, which has to play the World Champions immediately after the World Cup, did not stay still in the transfer market.

The evaluation that YSM is promoting Shin Tae-gyeong and Rahula Johar was unexpected.

As a member of the national team, Shin Tae-kyung is riding the ongoing World Cup success story, but he did not show a good performance in this World Cup.

In the match against Italy, he was solo-killed by Francesco Carnini, and in the match against the Netherlands, he suffered a death due to Sander Van Bart's check play. In the US match, he was unable to fight Gerald Walker and died instantly.

Of course, Francesco Canini, Sander Van Bart, and Gerald Walker were world-class players with outstanding reputations, but they were not dealers and tankers died too well. This was not a reliable look for a tanker who had to support his teammates.

However, YSM, which is preparing for the World Champions, and not another team, tried to recruit Shin Tae-kyung, so I couldn't help but tilt my head.

Compared to Shin Tae-gyeong, Rahula Johar had a convincing side.

This is because when combined with Khan Aryan's 'Venom', it becomes a tactically effective means of attack.

He was also fast.

His normal running speed is also fast, and when he uses his psychic ability 'sprint', he shows world-class mobility.

It meant that there were a lot of regrets, but there was something useful.

But the problem is that there are too many missing parts.

The weakness of the Indian national team centered on Johar was shown by the Korean national team.

It's good as a means of containment, but it doesn't show the power to win or lose in one fight. However, Khan Aryan's 'dead poison' was not strong enough to instantly kill a superhuman.

YSM was already using 4 out of the limit of 5 foreign players.

Paul Collins.

Saniya Akhmetova.

Khan Aryan.

Gary Williams.

All of them were players who were evaluated as successful recruits. It was a case of success by bringing in a player who was relatively undervalued or who did not stand out at all.

However, as the World Champions were just around the corner, there were expectations that this time around, they would recruit a world-class player with an outstanding reputation. Unlike before, YSM had ample funding.

Rahula Johar was a signing that broke the expectations of such fans.

-It's good to pick it up at a low price and fix it, but isn't it okay to bring in at least one world-class player?

└ Which world class will come to Korea?

└ What can't come? There must be some players who would like to play in the World Champions with Seo Moon-yeop.

└How does YSM pay such players?

-I believe in Seo Moon-yeop's discerning eyes.

-Saniya seems to be fortunate enough to have kept it...

It wasn't just domestic fans who were interested in signing YSM.

The world's leading clubs aiming to win the World Champions were closely watching YSM's progress.

Originally, the evaluation was dominant that YSM was not a team that could achieve results beyond the quarterfinals of the World Champions.

But now the picture has changed.

The reason was simple.

Seo Moon-yeop was performing crazy in the World Cup.

Except for Seo Moon-yeop and Pietro Anella, the team has nothing to do with it.

Such evaluation of the Korean national team was still valid, but the problem was that the two of them were performing too well.

After defeating the United States, which was considered the world's strongest.

The opponent in the quarterfinals was Italy.

I have already played against the Italian national team led by Chichi Lucas in pre-World Cup warm-up matches.

There was also Chichi Lucas, the guardian god of Italy, and Francesco Canini, the rising god of Italy, but both were defeated by Seo Moon-yeop.

In particular, in the case of Kanini, it is said that after being killed by Seo Moon-yeop, he gave up his arrogance and showed more effort.

Anyway, even then, Korea won both the first and second sets.

Not long after that, it was difficult to see that the Italian national team had come up with a clear countermeasure.

Italy was already boiling even though the quarterfinals hadn't even started yet.

It was because experts were saying in unison that Seo Moon-yeop was so mad that he couldn't stop it.

In particular, the opinion of experts that they could have won without Pietro angered Italian fans. They denounced Pietro as a traitor who abandoned his country.

However, although Pietro Anella was originally a traitor, he did not know that he was brainwashed and turned his back on humanity by siding with the corrupt high priest.

The former High Priest Pietro, who now dwells in his body, seemed uninterested in any accusations or not.

Pietro's attitude of not raising an eyebrow despite criticism from his home country further angered Italy. The Italians had no way of knowing that the substance was not human.

"I mean Anella. You look fine on the outside, but aren't you suffering mentally?"

Reiner Heim tactical coach, ignorant of the situation, secretly asked Seo Moon-yeop.

Seo Mun-yeop smiled and replied.

"It's okay, did you see him blink an eye?"

"But this time there will be a bunch of Italian fans in the stands. Criticism will pour in when the player enters."

"Because it's okay. Even if you criticize me in the face, I won't budge. Does he look like a normal human?"

"Hagi, sometimes I wonder if it's the same person…"

It was Reiner Heim who approached the truth without even knowing it.
