Legend of Legends

Ling Ling’s battle was exciting to watch. The champion who had replaced Jeffrey was powerful, and the allies were able to win. Junhyuk won a substantial amount as a result.

After watching the battle, he went back to his training facility and focused entirely on training. Naturally, he lost track of time. Suddenly, however, he felt time stop.

Junhyuk lowered his swords and turned around. From a tear in space, Agenchra appeared standing there.

The manager smiled at him and asked, “How have you been?”

“I’ve been well. What happened to Eltor?”

“He’s been reprimanded. He’s been prohibited from influencing any dimension for two weeks.”

“Only two weeks?”

“To managers, two weeks is a long time. Two weeks for us is comparable to two years for you.”

“You want me to believe that?”

“You are witnessing it, and yet you have questions.”

Junhyuk looked around. Time flowed similarly for everyone except for the managers. Managers could stop time and tear through dimensions.

“But to us, two weeks are still two weeks,” Junhyuk replied.

“But that is still something.”

“Is that what you came here for? To tell me that?”

“I have another matter to discuss. Elise has become a hero, so now, you only need another hero. I want to help you with that.”

“Help?”

“Since you became a hero, many champions have followed suit. I want to give you an opportunity.”

“What opportunity?”

“Among the human champions, Ling Ling, Gabino and Kushuma are wanted by their heroes. The remaining champions are Dakeda, Helen and Zenon. I’ll let you select one of those.”

“Select?”

“Elise is a hero now, so you are lacking a champion. You may select one to join your team.”

“Oh! Nice!”

Junhyuk hadn’t expected that. He would’ve needed time to fill up that empty spot with another champion, but Agenchra was giving him a really good opportunity. He shouldn’t refuse it.

He thought about Dakeda, Helen and Zenon, and after a while, he selected one.

“Helen. I like her.”

“Sure. Then, Helen will now be in your team.”

It was an unexpected turn of events, and he was glad for it. He smiled and said, “Thank for looking after us.”

“Aren’t you going to get ready?”

“For what?”

“Tomorrow is Friday?”

“Really?!”

Junhyuk gave Agenchra a bitter smile. He had only nibbled on some food while training, replenishing his energy by absorbing mana within the facility instead.

He collected himself and said, “OK. Thanks for telling me.”

Agenchra stared at him and replied, “You have improved.”

Laughing, Junhyuk said, “I have a long way to go.”

Junhyuk had learned the basics, and now, he was refining them. To complete his training, he would need more time. Still, he was improving.

Still staring at him, Agenchra added, “You’re on a streak. There are many rookies this season.”

“Yeah?”

Junhyuk belonged to a new team, and Ronga, too, belonged to one.

The previous legend team had been made up of rookies who rose through the ranks, which meant that some other rookie teams had to be winning as well.

“Aside from my team, is there another team on a streak?”

“Of course! Two other teams.”

“Yeah? Are they both rookie teams?”

“One of them is. The other is not.”

“Interesting.”

There was another rookie team on a streak, and Junhyuk thought that was curious.

Agenchra bid him goodbye and said, “Then, see you next time.”

“Sure.”

After Agenchra disappeared, Junhyuk exited the facility. There were a number of missed calls on his cell phone. After checking the number, he teleported.

Eunseo was going over her files. When she felt his presence, she looked up.

“Did you just come out?”

“Yeah. I lost track of time. Is there a problem?”

“No, but I’ve acquired a bunch of famous drinks.”

“That’s nice.”

Artlan drank really fast. To learn from him, Junhyuk needed a heavy quantity of alcohol available.

Junhyuk looked at her and asked, “Is your team treating you well?”

“Team?”

“The heroes.”

“They don’t care about me.”

Novices died easily. Eunseo had some good items, but there was a limit to what she could do. The heroes had to look after her.

Staring at her, Junhyuk said, “Agenchra.”

The manager appeared and stared at him.

“What is the matter?”

Junhyuk answered, “Add a novice to my team as well.”

Agenchra turned to Eunseo and asked, “Her?”

“That’s right. I’ll make an expert out of her.”

“You are aware that she is the only one who can activate her powers, right?”

“Don’t worry about that for now.”

With a smile, Agenchra said, “Sure. She’ll be on your team from now on. Also, I can’t be summoned for a while.”

“Why?”

“I have a mountain of work waiting for me.”

Junhyuk laughed and said, “OK. I won’t call on you.”

“Then…” Agenchra bowed and time flowed again.

Eunseo was staring at him. Having her join him was the best option.

He stared back at her, and she asked, “Why are you looking at me?”

“I’m grateful,” he answered with a smile. “I’ll go meet the rest of the powered people.”

“Right.”

Junhyuk gathered the champions first. They were all training individually, and he helped them with that. The champions could help him out in the future. He wanted to spar with Jeffrey, but he spent his time with them instead. In the end, the champions were no match for him.

He met with Helen then. Helen could create a sword with her power, and she was very powerful overall, but she needed better weapons. Junhyuk also knew that she could restrain her enemy with one of her other powers.

She worked for the Rockefeller family, which had him worried in case she became a hero.

Looking at her, he said, “Helen, let’s do some intensive training.”

“Intensive training?”

“That’s right.”

Helen wanted to learn from him. Junhyuk had been gone for two weeks, but now, he was there.

He smiled at her and said, “Then, let’s begin.”

Helen used all of her powers on him, but he blocked them all. He beat her until she was haggard. Helen was collecting her breath, splayed on the ground, when he said, “Let’s work together.”

“What?”

Junhyuk offered her a hand and said, “We’ll be on the same team from now on.”

“But I already have a team.”

“They didn’t really want you.”

“What?!”

Seeing Helen’s disappointed looked, Junhyuk asked, “Do you not want to be on my team?”

“I do!”

Junhyuk clasped her hand and said, “Then, let’s work together.”

Helen tightened her grip and replied, “I’ll work hard.”

Junhyuk smiled, and before he left, he said, “You’ll be summoned tomorrow at noon, so don’t forget that. I’ll go meet with the others now.”

Junhyuk went through all the powered people, doing his best to help them out. They were all passionate about their training.

Once he was done, he went to see Sarang. She had her own training facility, and when Junhyuk entered it, he saw orbs following her around. The orbs looked like the orb Elise had made with the core.

“What are those?”

“They are support items for my magic. They run on mana, so they can’t compare to Elise’s weapon, but they’ve been engraved with magic circles, and I can cast spells with them. They won’t work against a dragon, but everything else should be damaged by them.”

“You can’t use them in the Dimensional Battlefield.”

“No, I can’t.”

Junhyuk had learned a lot from the heroes’ visit, but so had Sarang.

“There won’t be any waves for two weeks, and we just need one more hero.”

The best option was to stop the waves altogether.

“Do you like your training facility that much? You never came out!”

“You should get one for yourself.”
