The student representative general election and the military academy exchange match were held at the same time, so training continued even while preparing the support speech.

In the case of the PlayerZ team match, training was conducted using the competitive match practice mode.

In preparation for the launch of the pro league, various functions were updated in the practice mode, and it was easy to train because you could customize the game environment and the number of participants and try various things.

Above all, the leader, In Seon-oh, did a good job.

‘In Seon-oh is leading the team better than I thought, and there are people like Yoo Sang-hoon who can do several people’s work alone. The only variable is that there are many people and the differences in each team member’s ability are large. ’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As expected, Jang Nam-wook and Do Si-hoo participated as PlayerZ representatives for the military academy, and they occasionally sent practice photos as if they were bragging.

The photos were nothing special, but they were photos of the military academy cadets playing PlayerZ with their devices turned on in a wide space that was presumed to be the dormitory lounge.

The cadets’ screens were not visible, so it was hard to tell what kind of training they were doing, but the advantages of the military academy were clearly felt.

Eun Kwang High School has half of its students attending school and half of its students living in dormitories, but the military academy has all of its students living in dormitories.

Since group life is the norm, it was very easy to train together.

In addition, Eun Kwang High School students relatively participated in many external activities, so it was even harder to coordinate the schedules of their teammates.

Still, not a single teammate complained.

‘There are two professional players here, so this level of handicap is necessary to balance things out. Everyone probably thinks the same way.’

In order to reduce the burden on the team, I followed the schedule suggested by In Seon-oh and practiced regularly.

Yoo Sang-hoon also frequently participated in team practice or came to watch while he was a member of the basketball team, and I could see that his morale rose just by the appearance of the Shield Soldier.

It would be natural to expect something as strong as that on the team.

And it wasn’t just the Eun Kwang High School students who were looking forward to the Shield Soldier and the Ground Spider’s performance.

[In Seon-oh] SZ Games requested an interview. I think there are things I want to ask other team members besides me, the leader.

As with all games, SZ Games, which services PlayerZ, has guidelines for community competitions.

When the prize money is large, restrictions become more severe, but this exchange competition was a friendly competition without prizes and the guidelines were loose.

However, in order to prevent any trouble or noise, the staff requested individual approval for the competition from SZ Games.

‘The participants are amazing, so the game company must have been interested.’

Although PlayerZ is a great game, the service period is still short and the pro league has not been properly established, so SZ Games actively cooperated, perhaps seeing this as a promotional opportunity.

SZ Games provided all kinds of help, including providing servers, consulting on the progress of the competition, providing analysis tools, and supporting programs needed for commentary and broadcasting.

Instead, we requested remote interviews, competition preparation processes, and in-game videos that could be used as promotional materials, but it was not a big burden because they only answered a few questions given on the device and copied and pasted the remaining data on the recording device.

[Inseon Oh] Are you thinking of it as someone else's business? In the interview request message I received from the manager, your name was included in addition to senior Yeom Jun-yeol.

Since Inseon Oh and Yoo Sang-hoon are on the team, I couldn't help but think of it as someone else's business.

In addition, the player who is currently a hot topic, Hongryong Yeom Jun-yeol, who has awakened to new power and become stronger but is still humble and full of desire for improvement, has joined the Eun Kwang High School PlayerZ national team.

I wondered if it was necessary to include me.

I think my name was included because I appeared on a broadcast with Yoo Sang-hoon, but since my name was mentioned, I decided to write an answer as well.

'Why did you start PlayerZ, why do you continue, and your determination to play the game. There weren't any particularly difficult or tricky questions. The questions are also worthy of a god game.'

I felt a little bitter even while typing the answer on my device.

Come to think of it, that damn game, Plumago, has never asked players to fill out a satisfaction survey or something like that.

Usually, game companies actively try to collect opinions by giving game goods when you fill out a questionnaire.

However, Plumago, which operates the game without caring about the store rating being completely destroyed, did not do that.

If it had, it would have used up all the characters available in the questionnaire to express its opinion.

I was upset for no reason and typed my answer as concisely as possible.

Dingdong, dingdong.

Before I turned off the device, several alarms notifying me of new messages appeared.

Most of them were from the group message room where the 28 PlayerZ representative players gathered.

While I was writing my answers, the players who had finished practicing were giving me feedback.

‘Thanks to this exchange, my device address book and in-game friends list have expanded.’

I scanned the exchange with my eyes so as not to disturb them, and when I turned off the hologram screen, Eunho appeared at the perfect time.

I was now in the conference room within the leadership team to practice with the members who had been selected as the chess representative.

It would be normal to use the facilities in the club hall, but it was very difficult to rent them because the representatives participating in various events were currently undergoing individual and group training.

So, the chess ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) representative, who had two leadership teams and was less restricted by location, decided to rent the conference room in the leadership team hall.

Eunho seemed to have just finished playing against Cheon Dongha.

“Hyung, are you done talking? We just finished a practice game, so let’s review it together.”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

Eunho smiled and offered tea to me and Cheon Dongha, and then showed a hologram and reviewed the first move.

Eunho had become more gentle since the last chess game.

I guess I would too.

Cheon Dongha noticed that our relationship had changed somewhat after the game and said, “Thank goodness.”

He even congratulated Eunho, but at the time, Eunho had just lost to me, so I wondered if that was appropriate.

Eun-ho's opponent, Cheon Dong-ha, pointed out the movement paths of several chess pieces.

"Eun-ha's moves are sharp. But she was always aware of stalemates and was thinking about what to do if it happened. If you know what she was aiming for, it becomes easier to predict her next move."

It seemed like the game just now ended with Cheon Dong-ha's victory.

Eun-ho listened to Cheon Dong-ha's sharp remarks and nodded, taking it as an opportunity to learn.

In fact, Cheon Dong-ha was much younger than Eun-ho, and they both knew that, but it was nice to see them respect and think about each other.

"You must be excited to make such an easy-to-read move."

On the other hand, the white tiger was immature.

The tiger that was chosen as the representative came to practice, but if he let his guard down even a little, he would scratch Eun-ho and me.

I usually didn’t do that to Eunho even if I teased him, but after the last chess match, I started to do that to Eunho too.

Eunho smiled brightly and said,

“Of course I was excited. But I’ll only do it to Baekho hyung who smiles no matter what.”

It would have been okay to say it louder, but Eunho was still a polite younger brother.

The chess representatives for this Eun-gwang High School were made up of people Eunho called hyung, and among them, I was confident that White Tiger was the most immature.

White Tiger occasionally talked nonsense, but practice went smoothly.

Just as I was finishing the review and analysis of the records, someone knocked on the conference room door.

Knock knock.

Since the conference room door was made of glass, I could clearly see who was outside.

It was Joo Soo-hyuk.

Cheon Dong-ha checked Joo Soo-hyuk’s face and said,

“Is it Soo-hyuk? Come in.”

“Dong-ha, I came here to check on something and give you some snacks.”

Ju Soo-hyuk came in with the sound of the automatic door opening.

Ju Soo-hyuk greeted us while placing snacks and drinks that were always placed in the leadership department, asked for our understanding, and talked to Cheon Dong-ha.

They didn’t move because it was short and they didn’t really care to hear anything.

After listening to the conversation, I could quickly figure out what was going on.

‘It’s about the handover of the leadership department head.’

In the leadership department, not only the advisor, Mr. Ham Geun-hyung, but also all the members of the leadership department chose Ju Soo-hyuk as the next leadership department head.

That’s why the leadership department head started the handover first, even though no other student representative had been decided yet.

Listening to their conversation, I felt sad and disappointed that the leadership department head was changing and that the current third-years were about to graduate.

It was when Ju Soo-hyuk finished talking to Cheon Dong-ha.

“Eui-shin, I heard you’re going to give a speech in support of Da-in.”

The moment Joo Soo-hyuk’s determined eyes turned to me, an eerie feeling ran down my spine.

In my head, Moon Sae-ron faintly echoed, as if shouting, “Dear!”, “Please!”

I knew that Joo Soo-hyuk wouldn’t give up on Anda-in, and that the two had recently skipped class on good terms and had a sweet and cozy first date outside of school.

However, it hadn’t been long since the ridiculous rumors started going around between me and Anda-in, so if Anda-in asked me to give a speech in support of her and I said yes, it would definitely be misunderstood.

I had to make an excuse before Joo Soo-hyuk could come to any conclusion.

“......Can we talk for a bit?”

“You can talk a lot.”

When I responded as if I had been waiting for it, the white tiger laughed and snorted.

I was a little worried that Joo Soo-hyuk might be paying attention to that white tiger, but fortunately, he seemed to be focused on my reaction and did not react to my laughter.

I walked out of the conference room with Joo Soo-hyuk.

Joo Soo-hyuk and I ended up talking in an empty hallway.

If we were talking to the powerful people gathered here, we would have been able to talk unless we set up a soundproof barrier, but Joo Soo-hyuk didn’t seem to care.

“I believe that if you’re a doctor, you’ll give a good speech in support. You said we’re like family? So you’ll know Da-in’s strengths better than I do.”

It was an ominous statement.

Even if I know a little bit more about Andain, how can I guarantee that I’ll give a better speech in support than Joo Soo-hyuk?

There was no.

I was planning to make an excuse, but when I actually came here, I was speechless and couldn’t say anything.

“Actually, I was advised to run for student council president, and I thought about it for a while. I thought it would be okay to run for student council president as Da-in’s rival.”

I think so too.

Student council president Joo Soo-hyuk, elected by Eun Kwang-go.

What a wonderful echo.

“But in the end, I decided to become the president of the student council. What do you think the reason is, Eui-shin?”

Because Joo Soo-hyuk, the president of the student council, is also cool and perfect?

There were many reasons, but I couldn’t say anything definitively.

When I answered, “I don’t know,” Joo Soo-hyuk smiled and answered.

“The student council is a student organization that monitors and checks the student council. The student council, in turn, is monitored and checked by the student council. So I thought that if Da-in became student council president, I should become the president of the student council.”

Joo Soo-hyuk had eyes full of confidence and passion.

Between surveillance and restraint.

It suited the relationship between Joo Soo-hyuk and Andain, who thought of each other but also considered each other as rivals.

It had such a deep meaning!

I felt sorry for myself for being so tense with shallow thoughts.

As expected, Joo Soo-hyuk and Andain were worthy of being the main characters of this world.

“Sorry for keeping you so long. I’ll be looking forward to your support speech, Yi-shin.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I expressed my sincere gratitude.

Thanks to Joo Soo-hyuk, I gained great insight, and my support speech made me stronger.
