All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 083

Shin-woo’s glorious first training session naturally didn’t go smoothly from the start.

“Uh, first position yourself like this, and here you need to move the joints…”

First of all, he lacked confidence in what he was doing.

Although the trait: Best Trainer recommended the perfect posture for his partner and even played videos visible only to Shin-woo’s eyes, since it was his first time doing this, it was difficult for Shin-woo to teach it properly.

“Oh, this makes my body feel a bit more comfortable?”

“I can feel my muscles loosening up too?”

“…Really? You’re not just saying that to boost your son’s confidence, are you?”

“I’m telling you it’s real! Dad’s been having back stiffness lately, but when I exercised the way you told me, my muscles loosened up smoothly and a refreshing feeling spread throughout. It’s really good. I should try this at home sometimes too.”

“…This actually works?”

But after all, the beginning is always the hardest part.

Going from 0 to 1 takes 10 years, but going from 1 to 10 takes less than a year.

After realizing through his parents, who were close to ordinary people, that his trait was the real deal, Shin-woo began to truly soar.

“Sis! Your waist is too stiff! Relax your strength, take deep breaths and release the tension so you won’t get hurt!”

“Kyaaaah! I’m dying! I’m going to die! Ah, I’ll collapse here without seeing the end of my alchemy research…”

“You won’t die from this. Come on, I’ll press down. One, two, three.”

“Uggyagyagyaggyag!”

Starting with Hyo-rin, whose flexibility seemed to have been traded for alchemy, making her as stiff as a wooden plank—

“Sejin hyung. You have well-defined muscles in detail. But there’s a big load on your wrists and shoulders. Especially the gap between the hand you use for hammering and the one you don’t is huge, right? This could cause discomfort in daily life, so let’s work on activating the muscles you don’t use. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine with that.”

“Great! Then let’s lightly do 100 reps in the position I’ll show you.”

“…10 reps?”

“Huh? 100 reps. One, ten, hundred—that hundred.”

“…Right, you’re from the same bloodline as Shin Hyeok. Got it, I’ll try.”

Sejin followed, whose body and stamina weren’t bad due to workshop work, but whose physical balance had collapsed.

During that process, there was an incident where Sejin’s gaze toward Shin-woo turned cold, but Shin-woo, who was completely absorbed in the fun of utilizing his newly acquired ability, didn’t notice.

Having gotten a feel for the trait: Best Trainer through the previous test subjects, Shin-woo stood before his final test subject.

“Su-a noona. Please take care of me.”

“What are you talking about! I should be the one asking you to take care of me. Trainer Shin-woo?”

“Ugh, noona, you really are hyung’s friend when you act like this.”

“…That’s an insult.”

“Now, let’s start training right away. Member.”

Su-a Han.

She, who could be called the best promising Player at this point excluding Shin Hyeok, was the final test subject.

Unlike the others, since Su-a was actively working as a Player, her training was different from the rest.

Whirrrrrrr!

“It’s a Mana Chamber. Inside here, gravity becomes stronger, so you need to handle the same weight more delicately. Plus, thanks to the mana flowing inside the chamber, it helps build mana stats, so it’s training that kills two birds with one stone.”

“Alright, let’s go!”

Player-exclusive equipment that hadn’t appeared before began showing up one after another, and Su-a quickly followed Shin-woo’s teachings, taking the appropriate usage methods and postures for each piece of equipment.

When they had quickly rotated through six or seven pieces of equipment and finished the necessary posture corrections.

“Wow! My stats went up! They all went up evenly too?”

“Really? Phew, that’s a relief. It seems like being a Player doesn’t make much difference.”

Su-a was able to gain stats as she had aimed for.

Su-a was greatly pleased with the stats that had risen evenly without missing a single one.

Shin-woo also let out a sigh of relief at the results that matched his goals.

“Phew! Now that today’s training is over, shall we go back and rest?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Huh?”

“We’ve only just established the basics, we can’t go back already. Let’s do a bit more. I think I can do even better.”

“R-really? Then shall we do a bit more…?”

But Shin-woo wasn’t satisfied there.

I can do better.

With that thought, Shin-woo stopped Su-a who was about to leave.

Up until this point, since Su-a still had some stamina left, she agreed to Shin-woo’s request, but—

“Shin-woo I’m really sorry if I did something wrong I’ll apologize so please can’t we stop for today and go back?”

When the lesson continued for one hour, then two hours, then three hours without ending, Su-a finally lost her mind.

As soon as one training session ended, Su-a lay sprawled on the gymnasium floor and rapid-fired her words, causing Shin-woo to shake his head.

“Just one more session. I can really do better this time!”

“Shin-woo!!! All my stats went up by over 50 today! That’s really enough! I’m bursting! I’m going to burst!”

The average stats for Gold tier is 500.

But in just one day.

Without even playing Dimension Arena, all stats growing by 50 each was significant growth for Su-a.

But as the price, Su-a was feeling an unprecedented depletion of stamina.

Of course—

“Your muscles know the answer, noona. It looks like you’ll really be depleted after just one more session, so let’s do just one more.”

“Ah…”

It didn’t work on Shin-woo, who could check the physical condition of the Player he was teaching in detail thanks to the Best Trainer effect.

Eventually, Su-a pleaded to Shin Hyeok with her sweat-drenched face.

Since the others had already fled to other floors, tired of Shin-woo’s maniacal training, only Shin Hyeok remained.

“Shin Hyeok! Save me!”

“Shin-woo, you’re doing great. Kill her completely.”

“Hey!!! Shin-hyeok Choi!!!”

“Su-a, do you trust your friend? Take this opportunity to learn well.”

“You!!! Why aren’t you doing it! You do it too!!!”

“Sorry. My stats go up well just by playing Dimension Arena, so I don’t need to.”

“…Uggeuk!”

Naturally, true friends enjoy each other’s pain.

Shin Hyeok coldly refused Su-a’s request with a bright smile.

Furthermore, he smoothly avoided Su-a’s attack as she deployed a drowning ghost strategy, asking to die together.

It was indeed perfect evasive maneuvering worthy of a Player who had been running the highest stock prices recently.

Especially Su-a, who was shot down by the automatic counterattack following the evasion, was dragged to the next equipment with Shin-woo grabbing the back of her neck.

“I curse you! I definitely curse you!”

“Curse me a lot. I learned necromancy too, so I can handle curses.”

“Uaaaah!!! Why did heaven give birth to me and then also give birth to Lee Hwang, the Three Emperors, the Five Kings, and Shin-hyeok Choi and various other Diamond and Platinum Players!!!”

“Isn’t that a bit too many?”

“I’ll get stronger later and get revenge! Just wait!”

“Yeah yeah, I’ll wait. Fighting. My friend Su-a Han. Well done!”

“Wow, this is really annoying. Shin-woo, let’s go right away. I’m so irritated I think I’ll exercise well.”

“Yes, noona.”

Since he kept poking at her from the side, Su-a finally exploded and used her waist momentum to bounce up from the floor and climb onto the equipment.

Since anger was always excellent fuel, Shin-woo grinned and gave Shin Hyeok a thumbs up at the sight of Su-a fuming as she positioned herself on the equipment.

Leaving behind Su-a, who was burning her stamina and anger for one last session, Shin Hyeok exited All Mighty Gym.

“Shin-woo will do well. I’ve set up the stage well, and he seems to have gotten the hang of his ability. Now let me go do what I need to do.”

Shin-woo had awakened faster than before his regression and established himself faster than before his regression.

Moreover, he would build up his proficiency by teaching various Players from the start.

Originally, the faster you roll a snowball, the more advantageous it is.

In that sense, Shin Hyeok was looking forward to seeing how quickly Shin-woo, who had seized the opportunity faster than before his regression, would grow.

Of course, that didn’t mean he forgot what he had to do.

“The selection for national representatives who will participate in the National Competition finals. Shall I go get it.”

The National Competition finals.

The National Team Selection Tournament to participate in that competition was waiting for Shin Hyeok.

Unlike the opening match, the main tournament had no tier restrictions.

Even if they were Silver or Gold, anyone could participate as long as they could defeat formidable opponents.

But after Dimension Arena appeared.

Among the players participating in the main tournament, there had never been a single player who wasn’t Diamond tier.

And today.

It was the moment when something that had never happened before would occur.

Thus, Shin Hyeok got into the limousine waiting in front of All Mighty Gym and headed to Taereung where the National Team Selection Tournament would be held.

* * *

Taereung Athletes’ Village.

This place, which was called the holy ground of athletes until Dimension Arena appeared in the past, was renovated after Dimension Arena appeared.

It became an athletes’ village for national representatives who would participate in the National Competition.

A place where all kinds of equipment were brought in, professional trainers were stationed, and various supplements were prepared.

“All Mighty Gym is much better though?”

But in Shin Hyeok’s eyes, it wasn’t particularly impressive.

All Mighty Gym.

That place, filled with all facilities composed only of the best of the best while thinking of Shin-woo who would become the greatest trainer, was incomparable to Taereung Athletes’ Village.

A collaboration between Sejin, a Legendary+ grade craftsman, and Hyo-rin, a Legendary+ grade alchemist.

Especially the crowning touch was naturally Shin-woo who came to be in charge of that place.

The trainers at Taereung Athletes’ Village were also elites recognized in the industry, but they were like fireflies before the sun compared to Shin-woo.

“It would be nice to register the people here at All Mighty Gym later.”

Thinking of registering the national representatives belonging to Taereung Athletes’ Village at All Mighty Gym to use them as Shin-woo’s teaching materials and experience points, Shin Hyeok looked around Taereung Athletes’ Village and smiled at the players who had gathered around him.

“Nice to meet you, seniors.”

“…Wow, it’s Shin-hyeok Choi.”

“He really came?”

“He’s handsome…”

“Ha, to think someone just turned twenty would come all the way to Taereung. He’s truly legendary.”

Seeing Shin Hyeok who didn’t hide his polite yet relaxed attitude, the National Team Players burst into admiration and let out hollow laughs.

Soon they playfully asked Shin Hyeok.

“Are you going to catch us like mice like you did with the Platinum kids?”

“Scary, so scary.”

“We won’t go down easily. We have to protect our own rice bowls.”

Knowing how Shin Hyeok had miserably crushed the national representatives who participated in the opening match, they laughed while sharpening their senses to understand Shin Hyeok even a little.

Feeling the sensation of nearly twenty national-level players’ auras scanning his entire body, Shin Hyeok let out a laugh.

‘Crude. Is this level just skimming the opponent’s surface? I should show them what the real thing is.’

Their detection was insufficient and crude to the point of being inferior.

Shin Hyeok wanted to show them what real detection was.

‘Mana Detection.’

Chwaaaaaaaak!

Invisible, intangible mana occupied the area and thoroughly dug into the information of everyone existing within it.

Starting from muscle density, height, and weight to stats and possessed energy, it took literally an instant to completely uncover all important information.

Flinch!

Seeing the players who felt it step back a few steps with stiff faces, Shin Hyeok let out a light laugh.

“Shouldn’t it be at least this level?”

“…Was all our information completely stripped away in an instant?”

“Yes, it’s not difficult. Since you had no defenses against the opponent’s detection, it was easy to take.”

“…Ha.”

As important as detecting the opponent was not being detected oneself.

And the National Team Players had neglected their own defenses while trying to detect Shin Hyeok, and this was the result.

All their information had been completely stripped away, but conversely, they hadn’t properly obtained anything about Shin Hyeok.

Just rough information visible to the eye at most.

This was meaningless since even a random passerby could know this much just by looking.

An overwhelming gap.

Seeing the National Team Players who had lost their words at this, Shin Hyeok lightly warmed up and took his stance.

“Let’s consider this as a substitute for the preliminary skirmish and now let’s seriously clash. That’s why I came here in the first place.”

“…Are you treating us the same as those rookies playing around in the opening match?”

Seeing Shin Hyeok who was thinking of moving straight to sparring, saying the preliminary skirmish was over, the National Team Players frowned.

Of course, Shin Hyeok didn’t equate them with the opening match national team either.

“Of course not.”

“As expected—”

“So come at me one by one, all of you. If you want, two or three of you can come at me at once.”

“…What?”

But that didn’t mean he held them in high regard either.

Unlike the opening match national team, he wouldn’t face them all at once, but the premise of facing multiple opponents at once remained unchanged.

Seeing the National Team Players who were flustered by this fact, Shin Hyeok, now fully equipped with his gear, looked down at them calmly and said.

“I’ll teach you a lesson.”

“…!”

A junior far below them spoke not of learning a lesson but of teaching one.

There wasn’t a single National Team Player who could stay still after hearing those words.

It was the moment when a sparring match between Shin Hyeok and all the Diamond National Team Players was arranged.
