The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 314

Chapter 314

Regardless of Choi Yeonseung being pissed that the director disregarded him, the match began.

It was Nathan who gained the momentum early on. He was talented and had even learned martial arts from Choi Yeonseung. He went to the top lane and pushed aggressively, causing his opponent from the Tiger Crest Bird clan to fall back in a panic.

“Uh… Uhh.”

The opposing director was taken aback by this.

“D-Did he learn martial arts?”

Choi Yeonseung answered, “He wanted to learn, so I taught him.”

“I’ve never seen that hunter. Is his name Nathan Dab?”

“That’s right.”

At Choi Yeonseung’s response, the director took out his phone and searched him up. He was shocked by what he found.

‘No…?!’

If he was a promising prospect from the United States, he should’ve just stayed in the United States. Why the hell had he come to South Korea? Was he crazy?

***

Boom!

Kang Yuna of the Tiger Crest Bird clan backed down once again against Nathan. She bit her lip in frustration.

-I think I need some help here.

-What? This is the Demon clan… How come you need support?

-Yeah, well… This guy is formidable. He uses really tricky martial arts.

Kang Yuna was a tanker hunter who had a reputation for being quite tough. Her playstyle revolved around fighting the opponent right off the bat to secure an early advantage. By doing that, she would grow quickly and snowball her advantage with overpowered defensive skills.

However, Nathan fought Kang Yuna right from the start, pushing her back.

‘I still have a long way to go before I can use Iron Dragon’s Protection…’

-Alright, I’ll come and help you.

The best clans were basically those with great teamwork. After receiving Kang Yuna’s request for help, another hunter from the Tiger Crest Bird clan killed a monster outside the lanes and quickly ran over to the top lane. Upttodated from n(0)/v𝒆lbIn/.(co/m

…However, Nathan had predicted this much.

“Um…”

“Sh-should I really be here?” asked Wi Seongu, a prospect from Hwangryong High School, in an uncertain voice.

In fact, when the Demon clan had been recruiting hunters, Wi Seongu had been the most surprised when he had been picked. Nathan was a promising prospect that any clan would want, while Zhang Wei had received a commendation from the Chinese government.

…In comparison, Wi Seongu wasn’t even highly regarded in his local highschool…

-Mother! Father! A clan has recruited me!

-…What? Is that true?

-Yes!

-You fool. They’re just trying to trick you!

-……

-Oh my… I’ve known this ever since you awakened… This guy… One should know their place. I haven’t told you this before because I didn’t want to hurt you, but I’ll say it now. You need to give up on this hunter stuff! Being a hunter might look glamorous, but if you’re not at the top, you’ll just get killed!

-Please stop. We thought you’d quit after realizing that this isn’t for you…

-B-But I really got chosen.

-By which clan?

-Uh… By the Demon clan.

-The Demon clan? Isn’t that a good and prestigious clan?

-That was ten years ago! Now they’re on the verge of ruin! Why would you join them?

-I got the down payment…

-Just give it back and don’t go! You’re being deceived! It’s even more suspicious that they’re giving you so much money!

Wi Seongu had been even more confused after listening to his parents. At this point, he also thought this was suspicious. Could it be…? Could it be that Choi Yeonseung needed him for some evil plot?

Famous prospects would attract attention from others, but no one would care if the clan recruited Wi Seongu. However, ever since he had joined the clan, there hadn’t been any suspicious activities or deceptive contracts. On the contrary, Choi Yeonseung had personally taught him martial arts.

-Now this is the three movements martial art. Let’s call it the Three Iron Fist Technique.

-…Uh, you didn’t name it just now… Right?

-…No. It’s an excellent martial art I picked up in the Abyss.

-T-thank you! By the way, can you teach me such martial arts?

-Yup. After all, I have to get you guys to be stronger.

-I knew it..! Some reporters have said bad things about you, but I truly believe that you’re a patriotic hunter! Hey, why are you hitting me?

-Your posture is bad. In any case, this Three Iron Fist Technique is quite easy to learn. You can learn the two types of Three Iron Movement Technique and Three Iron Fist Technique Technique while collecting internal energy with the Three Iron Heart Technique.

-Is it okay if I don’t learn magic?

-Are you any good at it?

-I’m not particularly talented at magic…

-Alright, then just do this.

Just like that, Wi Seongu had done what Choi Yeonseung had told him.

The Three Iron Fist Technique was a martial arts technique with just three simple attacks where the firsts were extended forward. He just had to infuse internal energy and extend it without complicating himself with other steps.

…It was so easy that it was embarrassing!

“Oh, you came?”

Nathan was glad to see Wi Seongu. He didn’t know what the other hunters in the clan had been doing, but he had heard that Wi Seongu had learned martial arts from Choi Yeonseung.

They were comrades who walked the same path of martial arts!

“I-I’m not joking. I’m really not good enough. You’re expecting too much from me…”

“I’m not worried,” replied Nathan. He was open-minded to fight alongside Wi Seongu.

Wi Seongu was slightly relieved. As expected, popular prospects had a different mentality.

“You’re Korean, so you obviously have potential for martial arts.”

“…Huh?? No, there’s nothing like that!”

If Koreans had such abilities, would any of them use magic? Everyone would be using martial arts.

“Go!”

All hunters ran toward each other, making it a two-on-two fight.

Kang Yuna was wary of Wi Seongu.

‘Those from the power analysis team have said that he’s not a big deal.’

Since he was Korean, the Tiger Crest Bird clan already had information on Wi Seongu. He was a newcomer from Hwangryong with no talent and no noticeable skills. However, even though the Demon clan was in shambles, she couldn’t help wondering why they had recruited him.

-Dispersion Magic Missile!

Kang Yuna’s teammate, who had come for support, cast Magic Missile. The spell itself was of the most basic kind, but it revealed a hunter’s personality based on the way they used it.

Kang Yuna’s teammate was confident in his ability to use Magic Missile, so he had placed it in one of his valuable skill slots.

Magic missiles exploded in the air and scattered.

Bam!

“AAAaahhh!” Wi Seongu let out a shriek. Even though he tried to dodge the missiles, several of them still hit him because they had a wide range. The shock was overwhelming.

“Huh? Why didn’t you dodge?” Nathan asked incredulously after falling back.

“I… couldn’t…”

“??”

-Dispersion Magic Missile!

The opposing hunter cast magic again, as though he wanted to start the game with an early kill. He stuck with the same attack!

“Oh my…!”

-…Dispersion Magic Missile???

“Ghaaahhh…!”

“Why aren’t you falling down?”

***

“Ohh…”

Choi Yeonseung was amazed, whereas the director next to him was almost in shock.

‘Is this a joke??’

The best directors were usually those who were confident and had complete faith in their plans. Therefore, he would’ve understood it because a genius like Choi Yeonseung had trained those hunters. After all, not everyone could accomplish what A-grade hunters could.

However, Choi Yeonseung had a look of amazement as he watched the hunter from his clan.

“You didn’t intend this?”

“Not really. I was aiming for it, but he’s fighting surprisingly well. This is amazing! I’m proud of him.”

The martial art that Choi Yeonseung had taught Wi Seongu wasn’t some excellent martial art that he had picked up in the Abyss. He had come up with it on the spot.

Of course, Choi Yeonseung hadn’t taught him some sloppy technique. He had chosen a solid foundation for the technique and made some minor tweaks to it. More than anything, he had made that technique to suit Wi Seongu.

The technique involved covering oneself with internal energy and achieving more tenacity and durability every time they released it!

Originally, there were quite a few martial artists who used techniques with similar special effects, but there were few hunters who learned martial arts for the purpose of achieving such an effect.

The effect was too… It was slow and weak.

Rather than learning a martial art to achieve physical durability and defensive stats, it was better to just learn defensive magic and buff magic.

‘The efficiency of it is on another level.’

It wasn’t Wi Seongu’s ability that Choi Yeonseung admired. He was impressed by how efficient the martial art seemed to be.

Wi Seongu was under the influence of his constellation, Choi Yeonseung!

…Of course, apart from that, Wi Seongu was actually fighting well. Given how the enemy cast magic at him, it wouldn’t have been surprising for him to chicken out and run away. However, he held on.

On the other hand, the opponent got tired before him, gasping for air as he stepped back.

Seeing this, Nathan attacked and took the lead once again.

‘No…!’

The director was appalled. Even on the bottom lane, Zhang Wei was holding on. They had a slight advantage in the middle lane, but the hunter of the Tiger Crest Bird clan couldn’t push forward.

In any case, if the top lane crumbled like this…

The director looked at Choi Yeonseung, who was standing still, his expression now blank. The director was suddenly afraid of him.

‘He’s a terrifying guy.’

At first, he had thought Choi Yeonseung was just an A-grade hunter who had joined this competition out of boredom, but it turned out that he had targeted their clan.

‘Could it be that he took over the Demon clan to bring Korean talents to the United States? Dragon Industry needs a lot of hunters…!’

The director let his imagination run wild. At this point, Choi Yeonseung’s request to compete against the Tiger Crest Bird clan felt suspicious.

‘Is he going to take over the Tiger Crest Bird?’

After the match, the Demon clan could request a rematch to acquire the clan’s assets and pressure them to sell…

Thinking about this really scared him. They would have no way to stop it.

“Ah. We won. It was lucky.” Choi Yeonseung nodded in admiration. He looked to the side and saw that the director had turned ghostly pale.

“Don’t despair. You win some, you lose some. Maybe you’ll win the next one.”

“…”

“Come to think of it, the money I’m supposed to receive after winning… Can I take something else instead?” asked Choi Yeonseung as an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

The director jumped up in surprise.

“I… I… I will never give you the right to run the clan!”

“What? What are you on about?”

Choi Yeonseung looked at the director like he didn’t understand. Perhaps his expression got the director to return to his senses.

The director cleared his throat and said, “Ah. I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else. What do you need?”

“Are there any hunters in the Tiger Crest Bird clan who are interested in martial arts? If there are, I’d like to give them some lessons.”

“…Huh???”

The director doubted his ears. That… Weren’t they supposed to give him money?

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ praises your noble actions.]

“?!”

Choi Yeonseung was surprised by the sudden message from the constellation. He had just left after giving lessons to the hunters of the Tiger Crest Bird clan who were interested in martial arts.

-Let… Let me give you an artifact.

-No. There’s no need. I’m just teaching you.

-Then a salary…

-…I’m just here to teach?

It had been a bit of an absurd conversation, but in any case, the outcome had been beneficial for both sides. The hunters interested in martial arts admired Choi Yeonseung’s ability to determine what they lacked and help them improve in that.

Choi Yeonseung once again felt the power of martial arts as he taught them. There was currently nothing left to do, but this widespread respect for martial arts would soon turn into faith, and ultimately into power of existence.

…Then, he was caught off guard by the message of the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.

“What’s going on?”

[The ‘SIx-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he has been watching you since the battle of London.]

“…”

Choi Yeonseung flinched slightly. There was nothing good about getting so much attention from a constellation. More than that, what Choi Yeonseung had done after that battle… Last time, he had taken the artifacts from France by force, hadn’t he?

The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ was known as the most righteous and radical constellation among the good god constellations. Given that he absolutely despised evil, he was naturally enemies with some of the evil god constellations.

In the eyes of such a constellation, what Choi Yeonseung had done was a bit… It was too much…

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says that your actions were extremely righteous with no hint of injustice.]
