Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 57 Arena Event

The time when Cho Hyun-soo is engaged in a battle against the Firearm Dragon.

The safety zone on the 10th floor was a series of excitement.

“Is it starting soon?”

“yes. Are you looking for a ticket?”

“I screwed up some points. Honestly, if you don’t see it now, when will you see it? If you’re lucky enough to have a relationship with a high-ranking kid, that’s the best.”

“I’m in the audience, so I’ll have a good relationship, you asshole.”

The biggest event on the 10th floor.

A game that draws everyone’s attention.

A bloody battle featuring the next generation of hunter prospects.

A chance to raise your ransom to the highest level.

That’s the arena event.

Tickets sold on a first-come, first-served basis are long gone.

Headhunters for general spectators and large guilds and other guilds. Even independent hunters who want to make a team. A lot of people wanted to see the game.

There were many who came simply for curiosity and entertainment.

It was only natural that the arena and the plaza were bursting.

It is not unfamiliar to see tickets scalping openly sold.

“We sell tickets for just 3000 points!”

“and. The original mark value is 1000 points. Don’t listen to that mindless bastard. We will take you to 3500 points!”

For some reason, bargaining runs in reverse.

The man who had been watching quietly narrowed his eyes.

“Are they crazy?”

“Yaya, buy it quickly if you’re going to buy it. If you let it go, the price goes up.”

“Even if I increase it 10 times, people will see it anyway.”

As the colleagues next to him said, the price of scalping tickets went up as if they were competing.

The man who quickly bought the first person’s ticket entered the arena, and those who missed the opportunity glared at each other to get the remaining tickets.

Those who have not yet obtained a ticket or who have just climbed to the 10th floor also join in.

Those who gave up the spectator seats early gathered in front of a screen installed outside the arena.

Although it was not possible to see it on the field, the contents of the game were revealed through the observer.

“They sell delicious hot dogs!”

“Drinking at the game! We have our own brewed beer! It’s cold!”

“calamari! There are also similar ones. The taste and texture are exactly the same!”

At this time, it is normal for merchants to hang around the streets and sell snacks.

Those who are not interested in the arena or will be moving up soon.

Or, it was the method chosen by those who were driven to production jobs with skills or powers.

Collecting points and raising specs was also a strategy.

They mingled like crazy, expressing each other’s interests and interests.

There was a chance that there would be an accident in the middle, but Da-seong, who manages the 10th floor, and all members of the Eclipse guild, are maintaining minimum security.

Unlike the noisy outside, the inside of the arena was relatively quiet.

Part of it was already occupied, and it was largely because half of the seats were from guild officials.

For them, the event was not just a spectacle but an extension of their work.

“This event is also crowded.”

“Anyway, it’s an opportunity to acquire talented people at a low price.”

“I hope this year’s winner is an independent.”

“If the conditions are right, there is a way to transfer, so set the upper limit well.”

Scouts who are planning a strategy to wage a recruitment war.

Unlike them, the two people sitting in the arena’s VIP seats looked relatively relaxed.

Lee Jin-moo, manager of the Daseong guild, and Park Se-hyeok, manager of the Eclipse guild.

Except for Kildereth, the owner of the arena, the two of them sat in the bleachers closest to the game and looked at the arena with curious eyes.

“In my heart, I want to participate too. look at that crowd The feeling of immersing yourself in cheers is thrilling whenever you feel it.”

Lee Jin-moo raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the crowd.

He fidgets with the sack, as if he wants to fight right away.

“Those who participated must know that re-participation is impossible.”

Park Se-hyuk, who was watching the stadium with his arms crossed, threw up.

Sharp eyes and tightly closed lips.

The body covered in black was sleek.

“Who doesn’t know that? I’m just saying.”

Lee Jin-moo, who put his feet on the table, let out a small laugh.

It was because Lee Jin-moo had more affection for arena events than others.

The reason why he was able to become the manager of a multi-star guild.

“I will never forget the feeling of winning an event. I wonder who will get the honor this time.”

He was also an arena winner.

Park Se-hyeok, who was sitting next to him, was in second place and once competed with each other to improve his skills.

If it wasn’t for Lee Jin-moo’s power executor, the result might have been reversed.

“Focus on the game. It’s hard for a large, low-ranking guild like us to get usable guys unless it’s this time.”

“Aren’t people too negative? Among the beggars being pushed out of the large guild, we are also at the top of the list.”

“If you stay complacent, you will soon be caught up by the latecomers.”

Park Se-hyeok was also recognized for his skills and was playing the role of a manager, but he had great ambitions.

In particular, there was a desire to surpass his senior and rookie Kim Chang-hoo, which was common to all managers.

Although he did not become a rookie, he proudly surpassed them and was recognized by everyone.

Furthermore, to become the core of the Hunter world.

It was an idea that stemmed from the confidence that he would not lag behind the rookie himself.

Below that, there was also a bit of a sense of repulsion and inferiority for not being chosen by the guild leader.

“It’s only five months of living in the treatment center. Motives have already moved up. Half of them are already out.”

Lee Jin-moo, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

5 months. It’s a pretty long time. It is true that they were lagging behind others, but it was a process of conserving their strength for a leap forward.

Climbing is a long game. Rather than moving in a hurry and falling behind, it was better to take the time and move steadily upward.

“Sooner or later I will head upwards. You can go beyond the 50th floor and challenge the 60th floor. That’s why I did this.”

Kuduk. he clenched his fist.

With the authority of an executioner, he became a manager and carried out punishment in front of people. while putting on a show.

It was an act of making himself a clown, and he became the target of ridicule for other large guild members.

I didn’t pay much attention to him because I had a servant, but I didn’t like the feeling of being despised.

“The results speak for everything. And this time we have a chance, right?”

“Petit Gongdu and his followers.”

After this mission, the two decided to head upwards.

If you’re successful, you can climb with as much support as a rookie.

The capture of an independent hunter known as Petit Gongdu or Kim Jeong-soo, who may exist on the 10th floor.

This was a sub mission, and the main…

“He came in. Let’s see how good he is.”

“First of all, he’s the guy who destroyed the Sangun Guild, so you can expect it.”

It was to subdue the hair loss of a member of Petit Gongdu.

I’m thinking of getting information through him or using Petit Gongdu as bait to move.

Took. Took.

Lee Jin-moo tapped the axe.

bald man. It was two hours before I heard the information that he had come up to the 10th floor.

At the same time as I entered the 10th floor, intelligence came in saying that I had applied for participation in the arena event.

The reason I didn’t catch it right away was simple.

To check the hair loss man’s ability.

In addition, it was a build-up to easily catch him who lost his stamina through the arena.

‘It’s too burdensome for us to move right away.’

A situation where people are already crowded.

As there were officials from other guilds, he did not know what kind of pressure would come if he worked recklessly.

It’s a problem if the guy who notices in the middle climbs up and throws it away.

Both Lee Jin-moo and Park Se-hyeok also had an important task of scouting.

As a result of various predictions and strategies combined, the hair loss man successfully completed the application for participation. It was to appear soon.

Lee Jin-moo and Park Se-hyuk glared at the stadium.

It’s time.

-Waaaaaaa!

Kildereth appeared like magic in the center of the arena.

Receiving applause from the crowd with his arms outstretched, he declared with a deep smile.

“Peace to all who enjoy Arena events! Let the game begin!”

* * *

Safe zone on the 10th floor.

As soon as I woke up, I ran.

Like the last time, I didn’t have time to check if my body was fine or if there were no scars left.

“shit! How stunned you were!”

I kicked off the inn and passed between people as if I was passing by.

Fortunately, the plan worked.

Because the scales she was biting on moved along with it.

Thanks to the Slaughter skill, it was also recognized as an item.

It’s in pretty good condition, so Rilka will be happy with it.

In conclusion, I won the bet and the sword I borrowed will be mine, but…

“It’s already started.”

[Time remaining until the arena event – 00:00]

The arena event has begun.

If you can’t do it now, you’ll have to wait until the next event.

It’s never good news.

“There is still a possibility.”

I ran down the alley

In a hurry, I kicked up the wall and ran onto the roof.

-Waaaaaaa!

-Oh oh oh!

A thunderous roar.

People’s voices echoed as if the game was in full swing.

The people who came to sell food also stopped their business for a while and looked at the screen.

“Is this event great?”

“There are a lot of great guys.”

“The guild guys will walk around sweating their feet.”

“What about that? In my time.”

“Oh shut up. Old man.”

“Because this guy is going to give you some advice!”

Everyone is predicting the winner.

I also glanced at the screen, but only the cheering crowd was caught, and I don’t know what the situation was.

let’s go inside

“Cannot enter because the event is currently in progress.”

“There is a screen installed outside the arena, so please use it.”

Is it because the event has started?

Two NPC gatekeepers I hadn’t seen blocked the approach.

It seemed like this. Because the system is not lax enough to have an event without control.

“I am a participant. I’ll go in.”

I took out the seed ticket from the treasure bag and showed it.

“ah. It was him. Confirmed. Hurry up.”

“The finals will start soon.”

Two NPCs opened the way.

Fortunately, it’s not too late.

If I hadn’t received the seed right from Kildereth, I would have been in big trouble.

I nodded lightly and went inside.

Everyone went to the stadium, but the inside was empty.

“Here you are.”

Kildereth, who was the only one standing, greeted me.

Is it because the event has started? Unlike usual, the momentum is fierce. The corners of his mouth were still raised.

“Isn’t it too late?”

“The finals start in 10 minutes. go over there There will be a guide.”

“thank you.”

Kildereth ran in the direction indicated.

In my heart, I wanted to find Rilka and bring Deokchun, but time seems to make it difficult.

I opened the treasure bag and put on the Evil Eye mask.

“Are you a finalist? The participating nickname is Evil Eye. You can come this way!”

“yes. All right!”

I walked down the aisle following the guide NPC.

‘I see they all move separately.’

Since it was the finals, I thought there would be an entrance ceremony.

It seemed to start in a fallen state.

‘Well, it’s troublesome if an accident breaks out after putting them together in the same place.’

Assault buyout competitor elimination alliance.

There are several things that come to mind right now.

Soon after, we arrived at the entrance to the main arena.

The strange smell of sweat and blood.

The voices of the audience coming from above.

“okay. With this, the preparation is complete. After that, it’s okay to follow Kildereth’s control. Fight and win!”

The receptionist checked the documents, cheered me on, and left.

I looked at the stage beyond the iron bars.

wide joint. Iron bars installed along the amphitheater.

Beyond that, there were those who passed the preliminary round.

I couldn’t see all of them from an angle, but I could tell that they were unusual.

–

Because each of them exuded energy and showed off their presence.

A war of nerves to shoot and press the other person.

I felt a different tension than when I was dealing with monsters.

“I can’t lose either.”

[Threat (E) Lv.2]

-Fuhuaaaaagh!

I also responded to their provocations.

A few flinch.

I smiled and waited for the right time to enter.

-Puuuuuuu!

-Paaang!

Firecrackers shooting up into the sky.

The cheers of the spectators resounded with the fireworks exploding splendidly.

This is the start.

“You waited a long time. There is no need to waste time, right? Let’s start the finals right away!”

Kildereth, floating in the air in the middle of the arena, raised her voice.
