The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 135

"The defense efficiency is... 200 percent?!"

Sung JiHan's defense efficiency has skyrocketed to an insane level.

The previous representative team's warrior's defense efficiency was only between 125-140 percent.

Compared to other top-ranking national representative teams, this is an incredibly low number, considering their basic range is 160-180 percent.

In fact, the highest record for the Korean national team was 140 percent, achieved only when the condition was at its best, and even then, it was only during practice or by chance.

Normally, they would just think of it as around 130 percent.

"If it's 200 percent, then it's the maximum efficiency of Sung JiHan in the game!"

Snap!

No YoungJoon slapped his own cheek and quickly shouted.

"Again. Let's try again!"

Could it be some kind of error?

How could the efficiency increase so drastically just by changing one player?

However...

"It's still 200 percent!"

"Wow. I thought that was a record achieved by the US national team..."

"Is this... for real?"

No YoungJoon's expression was filled with joy.

The defense efficiency is meant to strengthen the formation of the warriors, so even if the numbers are the same, the 200 percent of the US national team and the 200 percent of the Korean national team are different in terms of level.

However...

"In the current state of the national team, even this level is an incredible achievement!"

The Korean national team, which couldn't withstand the enemy's offensive, but if this efficiency is actually possible, the shield can fulfill its role.

"It's 200 percent. It's really 200 percent!"

[What?]

[Um, Coach. Does that make sense? Just by changing one player?]

"Kids! Come out quickly! Come out and see with your own eyes!"

Coach No YoungJoon shouted excitedly at the warriors in the practice game.

The warriors who formed the formation of Sung JiHan logged out with bewildered expressions.

After checking the replay, they all looked at Sung JiHan with amazed eyes.

"Wow... What is this?"

"It's really 200 percent?"

Once they received those gazes, Sung JiHan could only tilt his head in confusion.

"What's wrong? Weren't you all starting at 200 from the beginning?"

Even the small countries in the future Battle.net games were boasting the maximum formation efficiency.

It was incomprehensible that they were so surprised just by achieving a mere 200 percent MAX.

"Wow... JiHan, is this really your first time holding a shield?"

"Yes."

"Ha, you're really a scammer."

"Really... I'm glad my brother is Korean."

The two players became even closer than before.

Not only them, but other warriors also gathered here to have a conversation with Sung JiHan.

"He's on a completely different level. It's like watching the Sword King."

"We have to somehow build a relationship with this person."

"He doesn't seem as sharp as I thought."

Even though the Korean national team may be the bottom of Northeast Asia, they are the best players within their own country.

With the eyes of top players, they quickly grasped Sung JiHan's abilities.

He is at the level of a Sword King...

No, he was a player with a different level that could possibly be more than that.

"Sung JiHan player. I've been a fan since before!"

"Wow! I'm really surprised. How did you achieve 200 percent?"

The warriors surrounded him, determined to somehow turn the tide.

"Alright. Let's talk later, let's continue training!"

Clap clap.

Coach No Youngjoon applauded and called for training to resume.

"Well, there's nothing we can do."

"We should greet each other at the welcome party later."

The national team warriors returned to their original positions with regret.

"Sung JiHan player."

"Yes?"

"But besides being a warrior, you can play in other positions... Can you shoot a bow and use magic too?"

"Please speak comfortably."

"Well, yes. As I saw earlier, you can also play in other position slots."

"Yes. I can play all four classes."

Sung JiHan had gone all-in with four classes as a warrior through the All For One, but he still had the other three classes left, even if they were just shells.

'It was for times like this.'

When leveling up alone, the other classes were not needed, but they had strategic use in national-level matches.

And Coach No Youngjoon caught on to this immediately.

"So, with the other classes, can you fulfill the appropriate roles?"

"No. Only as a warrior."

"Hmm... Even so, you can put yourself in positions that are relatively less important in each map..."

The South Gate map this time had warriors as the most important and archers as relatively less important roles.

So if Sung JiHan were to be used as a warrior in place of an archer, it would add one more slot to the original limit of 30.

Coach No Youngjoon experimented in various ways.

"Hmm. If you go out in a different position, the efficiency of the earthenware armor is 185 percent..."

"Are you willing to accept a 15 percent difference, or use one more warrior?"

"We'll have to practice more to see which is better."

No Youngjoon, who had a happy dilemma, looked proudly at Sung JiHan on the screen.

Even though he was an archer holding a shield, he was a crazy player who inflated the efficiency of the earthenware armor to 50 percent by himself!

'I can maintain my position as coach.'

No Youngjoon, who was once called a brilliant coach until a few years ago.

But since the Sword King moved to Japan and Korea couldn't achieve a single victory, he ended up being criticized as someone who was also under the influence of the Sword King.

Most people expected him to not make it through this year and be dismissed from his coaching position...

'I never expected such a burden to suddenly fall from the sky.'

No Youngjoon made up his mind to make good use of the card called Sung JiHan that fell from the sky.

"Now let's summon the opponent."

A practice game where mock battles were conducted.

Unlike actual national team matches, battles were replaced with monster waves.

"We defended up to wave 14!"

"Oh. Wasn't 10 the limit last time?"

"Yes. With the increase in efficiency of the earthenware armor and the addition of Sung JiHan's Phoenix buff, it definitely feels stronger!"

Listening to the excited voice of the power analyst, No Youngjoon nodded with a willing face.

Before the wave started, Sung JiHan had inserted the Phoenix Key and gave a buff, which had a significant effect.

'With this, we won't fall behind Russia!'

With just one additional player, the power suddenly skyrocketed.

And it was the players who actually played in the matches, rather than the staff who wished for No Youngjoon, who felt this.

"Wow...."

"Seriously... Something must have changed this time, right?"

Not only the Warriors, but all the players in other positions as well

They couldn't hide their excitement as they saw the results of blocking until the 14th wave.

Especially.

"Sung JiHan... He fought alone."

"Even when the defense was crumbling, he kept blocking until the end."

"If the monster corpses didn't fly inside, we might have made it to the next wave..."

"So, why did the game end when the neck didn't fall inside? The judgment is strange."

Even as the warriors died one by one from the 11th wave, Sung JiHan firmly held his ground.

If it wasn't for the judgment that the game would end as soon as the monsters entered the gate, it felt like he could have blocked alone until the next wave.

"This is crazy. Seriously..."

"Ugh. I guess I won't get as much criticism now."

The atmosphere in the training ground became very lively.

For them, who had been suffering from national criticism without winning a single game since the transfer of the Sword King, today's practice results were very hopeful.

"Alright. Let's end the practice here today."

That way, the first training session with Sung JiHan added was successfully concluded.

* * *

Click! Click!

More reporters gathered at the national team press conference held in the interview room than ever before.

"...As such, the results of the first training session were very successful."

"The 14th wave... With the addition of Sung JiHan, is it possible to go up 4 waves more than the previous record?"

The reporter conducting the interview tilted his head as if he didn't understand even as he spoke.

"Wow... Is that possible?"

"Sung JiHan may be strong, but still, it's just one person."

"The 14th wave record would be similar to China's, right?"

"So, what I mean is, Russia is known to have reached the 13th wave."

"Japan's Sword King alone made it to the 18th wave."

"That's a different standard."

The reporters couldn't help but be amazed as they talked about the records of other countries they knew.

The Korean national team, who could barely make it to the 10th wave, shoulder to shoulder with China's record just because one player changed?

"I want to reveal the practice game scene. Hehe."

"Then, can we expect a victory in the upcoming Russia match?"

Then, Coach No Young-jun looked at Sung JiHan sitting next to him.

"Yes. That friend will do everything."

"Oh..."

While doing so, Coach No Young-jun praised Sung JiHan's play and gave a positive evaluation that he had integrated well into the team.

"Sung JiHan! Coach No Young-jun doesn't praise like this normally, so the expectations seem very high. Please tell us your determination for the Russia match!"

Then, Sung JiHan looked at the reporters who were chatting earlier.

"Did you say the Russian warriors reached the 13th wave?"

"Yes."

"Then we'll win easily. The reason the game ended at the 15th wave earlier was because the demon's neck fell inside."

He said that and held up three fingers.

"If Russia's skill is at that level, we'll win 3:0."

"3, 3:0?"

"Yes."

The Russian national team.

Although the western part of Russia is said to be stronger than the eastern part.

Dongbu had an undeniable power.

The Northeast Asia League consists of China and Japan as the top two.

Russia is the first-tier, while Taiwan and Korea have been reorganized as the second-tier.

Because the Russian Eastern team was considered to have enough power to be classified as "strong" if they were to join another regional league.

But to say that they would crush such a team 3-0...

"Wow. We definitely have to include this statement."

"Of course, it's Sung JiHan. He's crazy for making such a provocative statement!"

The journalists immediately typed up Sung JiHan's confident assertion and released it as breaking news.

And so, when a photo of Sung JiHan holding up three fingers appeared on the front page of the portal site...

-3:0??

-Against Russia...??

-Korea's automatic door made it to the 14th wave? Should we really release the practice video? LOL

-Who would want to release that? Just believe it.

-Oh, please, 3:0... Even 3:2 would be good if they could win.

-Is this finally one win?

-It's not even Taiwan, it's Russia. Sung JiHan is just an addition. It doesn't make sense LOL

-Yeah, it's possible because it's Sung JiHan~

The public's reaction exploded in an instant.

Especially since it was Sung JiHan's first practice match after joining, there was a lot of attention from the public.

When the national team cleared the 14th wave and Sung JiHan confidently declared that they could defeat Russia 3-0, it became a hot topic.

"Wow, the reaction is explosive."

"I've never seen such positive comments on national team news. Hyungnim."

After the interview ended, Kim DongWoo and Lee YoonGi looked at real-time reactions on their phones and laughed.

Usually, whenever there was news about the national team, it would start with negative comments and curses.

But today, with the 14th wave clear and the declaration of 3:0, all the reactions were focused there, and there were no hateful comments for a long time.

"So, JiHan, you've swallowed up all the attention. Thank you. Hey."

"Well, it's just a natural thing to say."

"3:0?"

"Yes."

"...Are you serious? Those Russian guys are crazy warriors. They always swing their axes when they enter the attack line."

"Then we'll just beat them up."

Sung JiHan replied as if to say, "What's so difficult about that?"

Wow, this guy is serious.

"It's like when SeJin hyung... No, when Geomwang was watching."

When Yoon SeJin, the Sword King, was on the national team, he had the same attitude.

"Just catch it, it's that simple."

When Kim DongWoo sighed and asked how they could win against the opponent, Geomwang would casually say such things.

Sung JiHan's current appearance was exactly like that time.

"And he... He seems even stronger than Geomwang."

Geomwang Yoon SeJin wasn't this strong even during the Gold era.

"We should get closer to him quickly."

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be a difficult person...

Kim DongWoo thought that he should strengthen his relationship with Sung JiHan.

"JiHan, we've prepared a small welcome party for our warriors... How about it? Can we have a drink today?"

As he glanced around, Kim DongWoo secretly spoke to Sung JiHan.

"And... We've also invited some celebrities and announcers. There are top idols too. They all wanted to see you, so they rearranged their schedules to come."

Kim DongWoo invited him to the party he had planned in advance.
