Chapter 713

Behind the mask, Tang-E’s expression was colorful.

‘He never said anything like this...’

He hadn’t heard about a spar with Hyeonu. Hyeonu clearly said that the spars were only with two humans.

Tang-E got up from his spot and nodded at Hyeonu. A detailed explanation was needed.

“The instructor has something he wants to say. Everyone, please hold on for a moment. Isn’t this where personal privacy needs to be protected?” Hyeonu responded to the signal sent by Tang-E. At the same time, he blocked the sound flowing to the viewers.

-Manipulation is a crime.

-We have the right to hear the conversation.

Viewers wanted to hear the conversation between Hyeonu and Tang-E, but Hyeonu couldn’t let them hear it. Anyone would suspect that the masked man was Tang-E when hearing the conversation between the two of them.

"Why are you calling me?” Hyeonu asked Tang-E in an annoyed tone.

“What is this? Why should I fight Master dude here?” Tang-E investigated Hyeonu’s arbitrary actions that weren’t agreed upon in advance.

“It is a pity if it ends like this. I’ll give you the rewards, so don’t be upset.”

Hyeonu approached Tang-E and held his shoulder. He raised the hand that wasn’t on the shoulder and extended two fingers.

“How about adding two more days of meat payment?”

Tang-E was hesitant at Hyeonu’s proposal. Hyeonu originally promised a week, which was seven days. Add two days to that and it would be nine days. It wasn’t short.

“Three more days or I won’t do it, Master dude.” However, Tang-E seemed dissatisfied and raised one more finger than Hyeonu.

“Fine. I will offer unlimited meat for 10 days. Is this fine?”

Hyeonu nodded calmly. In any case, it wasn’t a big deal to give a few more days of meat.

‘How much will it come to?’

It was nothing compared to the profit Hyeonu earned from streaming.

‘It is an amount that can only be carried in that...’

The subspace.

Hyeonu had this in mind. He had already thought about the idea that Tang-E had.

“I understand. Instead, take it easy on me.”

Tang-E was a bit excited about accepting meat for 10 days. Still, he couldn’t completely like it. It was because the spar with Hyeonu would obviously be very difficult.

‘Vicious Master dude.’

Hyeonu was with Tang-E the entire time he was learning skills from John Blake. To be exact, in the process of practicing skills, he sparred with Tang-E for a breakthrough every time he reached a bottleneck.

“Don’t worry too much. I will be really gentle today. There is a concept. A concept,” Hyeonu whispered as he held Tang-E’s shoulder, which seemed to be drooping for some reason.

“Concept? What is it, Master dude.”

Tang-E’s eyes shone. The feeling he got from the nuances was obviously good. He smelled that he could suffer less pain.

“Tang-E, you and I will use the same weapon. The mask will also be the same. So we will also wear the same clothes. How about it?”

The concept that Hyeonu envisioned was a doppelganger. It wasn’t just showcasing the same appearance as Tang-E during the spar. It was showcasing a similar combat style like a doppelganger. This was a surprise event that could be done because Tang-E had learned Hyeonu’s style to a certain extent.

“Good. Then do you want to cooperate with me?”

Tang-E didn’t care about anything else. What did it matter what clothes he wore? However, how much would Hyeonu cooperate with him? It was an important issue.

“Of course. I won’t act as absurdly as you usually do. I will cooperate with you perfectly.”

“Okay, Master dude. Let’s prepare.”

Tang-E nodded. Hyeonu handed Tang-E a leather suit from his inventory and a helmet to cover his head. They weren’t items with separate effects. They were just fashion items to wear when streaming. He couldn’t wear the same clothes every time he streamed, so he bought these ones.

“The instructor was a bit tired, so I massaged him with my hands. Of course, there is a bonus appearance fee,” Hyeonu explained his conversation with Tang-E to the viewers. Of course, it was nonsense that didn’t have anything to do with the facts.

-Maybe the items were given as an appearance fee?

-Are the items unique rated?

-I don’t think he gave just one or two. Is it unique?

-Alley Leader doesn’t handle less than rares. They seem to be rare items.

The viewers weren’t interested in Hyeonu’s words. They were interested in the clothes that Hyeonu handed to Tang-E.

“They are nothing. I gave him different pay.”

Hyeonu really told the truth this time. He soon started to wear the same clothes as those given to Tang-E.

“The spar later will be very interesting. You can look forward to it. Look forward to it.”

Hyeonu headed to the center of the arena, not to where Ray and Jamie Moore were waiting. He was going to start the spar straight away.

‘It is right to do it quickly before the impact disappears.’

Obviously, the viewers would be flustered the moment when Tang-E appeared. He had to start the spar before the shock disappeared, so he could attract the viewers’ eyes longer.

“Today’s instructor! Please come out!” Hyeonu called out to Tang-E.

Tang-E appeared wearing the things that Hyeonu had handed him.

-????

-What is that?

-They are exactly the same?

-I think I’ve seen this before?

-Is Alley Leader hiding his identity?

-No no no, the instructor is hiding his identity. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The viewers saw Hyeonu and Tang-E and sent question marks in the chat room. They could all see Tang-E, who looked exactly the same as Hyeonu. Hyeonu stretched out his wooden sword toward the approaching Tang-E without seeing how the viewers reacted. Tang-E also aimed his wooden sword at Hyeonu once the distance to Hyeonu had narrowed to a certain extent.

-Is this a deception? If we miss it in the middle, we won’t know who is who.

-I admit it. I don’t know who it is because I can’t see the hair.

-Is this the famous doppelganger?

The viewers naturally focused their eyes on Hyeonu and Tang-E who made the same action with the same appearance.

‘Let’s do it gorgeously, gorgeously.’

Hyeonu took light steps as he remembered the meaning of the spar. Unlike his light steps, Hyeonu’s body flew very quickly. Hyeonu reached Tang-E in an instant and swung his wooden sword. The sword fell from top to bottom with the momentum to cut anything it reached.

Tang-E easily avoided Hyeonu’s falling sword by moving sideways. Then he fought back with his wooden sword. Tang-E’s wooden sword felt more like it was going to smash something than cut. He was obviously wielding a wooden sword, but it felt like it was a hammer to those watching.

-At least three ribs will break if hit.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

-It will take eight weeks to recover.

-By the way, the previous one was Alley Leader, right?

-Yes, the instructor is the one countering now.

The spar had just begun, but several viewers had already started to confuse Hyeonu and Tang-E.

‘He is coming out strong from the beginning?’

Hyeonu’s eyes shone as he looked at Tang-E’s counterattack. Tang-E’s counterattack was sharp today.

‘He came out like this.’

Hyeonu changed his mind after seeing Tang-E’s counterattack. It wasn’t in the direction of something flashy. He instead showed the viewers something that was difficult to see. The change in his mindset was directly reflected in Hyeonu’s movements.

Tang-E’s wooden sword swept horizontally through the air. Hyeonu stepped forward toward that location. It was a reckless action that went beyond boldness. However, Hyeonu had Mysterious Sky Steps. Before Tang-E’s sword could reach Hyeonu’s body, Hyeonu was in a location where Tang-E’s wooden sword couldn’t reach.

The place where Hyeonu was standing was next to Tang-E. It was a position where he could not be cut by the other person’s extended wooden sword.

“You still have a long way to go,” Hyeonu whispered in Tang-E’s ear before hitting the back of Tang-E’s head with the handle of his wooden sword. Tang-E’s head made the sound of a walnut breaking. Tang-E couldn’t stand the pain from his head and let go of his wooden sword. The wooden sword flew from Tang-E’s hand at an amazing speed.

Ray and Jamie Moore were standing in the direction where the wooden sword flew. The two of them looked astonished, like they were hit by a thunderbolt out of the blue. Ray regained his mind first. It was because he thought he would be seriously injured if he was hit by this.

Ray pulled out his greatsword from his inventory and hit the flying wooden sword. The wooden sword was shattered and no traces of it could be found.

“Uwaah! It hurts too much.” This wasn’t the problem. Tang-E was hit in the back of the head by Hyeonu and screamed in pain.

-??? It is a familiar voice?

-Yes, I am seeing him for the first time. Why is his voice familiar?

-Doesn’t this voice belong to Tang-E? Tang-E has a clear voice.

-That’s right, it was Tang-E. Why does that person have Tang-E’s voice?

The viewers fell into confusion in an instant. The man they were seeing for the first time had the voice of their favorite, Tang-E. Then Tang-E’s next words added a wedge in them. “I hate it, Master dude. Tang-E is going. Don’t look for me. Bah.”

A man who called himself ‘Tang-E’ and Hyeonu ‘Master dude.’ Then he hid his traces.

-Is it really Tang-E?

-Why did Tang-E become a man?

-An adult Tang-E?

-Alley Leader, explain this situation quickly!

-Asking Alley Leader for the truth!!!

Viewers swarmed in like bees.

Hyeonu got the reaction he wanted, but there were problems in the process.

“I’m going to end the streaming here today. Then see you next time.”

Rather than explaining exactly what happened, Hyeonu chose to move away from the situation.

***

Hyeonu summoned Tang-E shortly after the livestream ended. Of course, he prepared a lot of food that Tang-E liked.

“Is it delicious?” Hyeonu carefully asked Tang-E, who was eating the meat skewers in front of him.

“...Bah!” Tang-E’s response in return was very cold. He glanced at Hyeonu and just snorted.

‘I shouldn’t have hit his head.’

Hyeonu reflected on his spar with Tang-E. It seemed he was a bit too excited in that situation.

‘I only thought of making a great video. I was blind.’

“I prepared meat separately. Go back and share it with your parents. Understood?”

Hyeonu pushed a small box that was hidden behind his back to Tang-E. Inside the box was a pile of meat.

“Just don’t do it next time, Master dude.” Tang-E grabbed the box and shook his head at Hyeonu.

“I understand. I won’t do it again,” Hyeonu answered with a bitter smile.

“I understand. Then I’ll let it go this time.” Tang-E smiled slightly and tore at the meat on the skewer.
