Ranker's Return

Chapter 733

-Eight people? So four people are missing?

-Even if the three participants of New Moon are combined, that is only 11 people.

-Uh...? Then he is returning as a player? Huh?

Viewers were excited by Hyeonu’s remark that there were only eight players to introduce. January had passed and it was already February. It was now the time to complete the team’s composition and strengthen the internal stability. At this point, it was a big deal that there were only eight members of Crescent Moon. Viewers thought that Hyeonu would recruit the three New Moon participants who had survived so far.

This was how the numbers matched. Add three to eight and it was 11. It was one less than the other teams.

Viewers picked Hyeonu as the last remaining one, the final piece of the puzzle. However, it was just the delusions of some viewers. They heard Hyeonu’s words as they wanted to hear them.

-Are you stupid? You should listen directly to people. He said there are only eight people joining. There are three original members remaining. There are 11 Crescent Moon members already.

-Ah, so there is only one today?

-Cheolmin, let’s go!!! Crescent Moon, let’s go!

A viewer identified and corrected the error they had made. Hyeonu was watching the chat, but he didn’t say anything. In a little while, everyone would know.

“Let me introduce you to the players of Crescent Moon. Please welcome them with a round of applause!”

Hyeonu turned around. Behind him, the Crescent Moon players showed up.

“Let me introduce you to the founding members of Crescent Moon. Please come out. The three brothers and sisters of the old Moon!”

The first people to come out were Lee Hoon, Sunny, and Yuri, who played alongside Hyeonu. They were faces that viewers were most familiar with.

“It has been a long time. I am Lee Hoon.”

“Hello, I am Sunny.”

“It is nice to see you. I am Yuri.”

The three people greeted the viewers. Someone bowed while someone else waved.

-It is really nice to see you here.

-Lee Hoon and Sunny streamed, so at least we saw their faces. How long has it been since we’ve seen Yuri?

-I acknowledge this. It is hard to see Yuri’s face.

-She said she would come out often. ㅠ ㅠ

Hyeonu’s viewers welcomed the faces they hadn’t seen for a long time. In particular, they were enthusiastic about Yuri, who didn’t stream. Lee Hoon and Sunny streamed periodically, so they were often seen. Meanwhile, Yuri didn’t have that. She wasn’t seen apart from accidentally appearing on the livestreams of people she knew.

“You can say hello later. Now, let’s introduce the new players who have joined Crescent Moon. First is Crescent Moon’s new captain, Yoo Hyeonsu.”

Yoo Hyeonsu appeared from behind when Hyeonu called his name.

“Yoo Hyeonsu is a strong shield for the team along with Lee Hoon. He is also a great player who almost played for JT Telecom.”

-I thought Hoon was going to be captain...

-Yes, he is a founding member.

-I’m sure Yoo Hyeonsu became the captain because he deserves it. Don’t you know Alley Leader?

Some of the viewers responded a bit strangely to the introduction of Crescent Moon’s captain. They had expected Lee Hoon to take the captain’s position of Crescent Moon after Hyeonu retired. Of course, the other viewers fully believed in Hyeonu’s eyes and didn’t raise any questions. Instead, they attacked the viewers who questioned it.

“There isn’t a big reason behind Yoo Hyeonsu becoming the captain instead of Lee Hoon. It is just that Yoo Hyeonsu had a more mature mentality than Lee Hoon. It isn’t a matter of skill or personality.”

Hyeonu casually resolved their questions. For the position of captain, the ability to communicate with other people was more important than skills. In that respect, Yoo Hyeonsu was more suitable than Lee Hoon.

“Hello, I am Yoo Hyeonsu. I am honored to assume the position of captain of Crescent Moon. I will show you a good appearance in the future,” Yoo Hyeonsu bowed deeply to the viewers and greeted them. He knew there would be a heated debate about him after Hyeonu’s words, but he didn’t show it on the outside. He was expecting this to happen. It was naturally something worth talking about.

“You probably know the person who will appear next. It is the new priest of Crescent Moon. Go Eunho!”

Go Eunho had already been released once on Hyeonu’s streaming. However, there were quite a lot of new viewers who just entered due to the main scenario and didn’t know about this.

-Go Eunho is in Crescent Moon?

-The power is crazy.

-It is ahead of JT Telecom in terms of priest power.

-He seems to be the best in South Korea.

Viewers were enthusiastic about Go Eunho.

Go Eunho waved and greeted the viewers, “Hello, everyone. I am the priest Go Eunho of Crescent Moon. However, I think there are more people in the livestream who know my nickname than my name. I’ll say hello again. I am Leader Big Fan.”

The chat window froze in an instant.

Leader Big Fan—it was a name that viewers who often watched Hyeonu’s streaming had to know. It was a name who threw gold coins really casually.

-That person was Go Eunho.

-Is this a successful fan?

-Then he will get a salary from the club and support Alley Leader with it?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. The miraculous golden hand.

It raised the most intense reaction today. The name of ‘Leader Big Fan’ was deeply imprinted on the viewers.

“This time, it isn’t one but four. They are players from Big Stars, Crescent Moon’s predecessor. Introducing Han Jaeyeol, Cho Yeonghun, Kim Jinhwan, and Lee Yeongjin.”

The ones that came next after Go Eunho were the four players who were former Big Stars and current Crescent Moon players. There was such a thing in common so Hyeonu introduced them all at once.

“Hello, I am Han Jaeyeol. I am a melee class and I am confident in PvP.”

“Hello, I am Kim Jinhwan. I have a magician position.”

“I am Lee Yeongjin and I am also a magician. Please take care of me.”

“I am a magician as well. I am Cho Yeonghun. Please support me in the future.”

The four people lined up next to Hyeonu and briefly introduced themselves. There were four people, so none of them could speak for too long.

-He pulled the streamers and turned them into professional gamers.

-Streaming is the same.

-So the rest of the streamers aren’t pros?

-Only four of them are turned into pro gamers? They are quitting streaming?

There were viewers who knew the four people, including Cho Yeonghun. The channel created by the streamers of Crescent Moon was quite famous. After entering Hyeonu’s channel, their channel was introduced, so many people pressed it once or twice out of curiosity.

“They can continue streaming while being pro gamers. Rather, it is encouraged at the team level. The other streamers said they don’t intend to be pro gamers any longer,” Hyeonu answered the questions on behalf of those who couldn’t see the chat window.

“Finally, I will introduce Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon. Both of them are melee classes.”

Hyeonu felt the same way as the viewers this time. Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon were the ones who were recruited three days ago. Hyeonu hadn’t seen their faces yet.

‘They look good.’

Hyeonu nodded when he saw the two men walking over. Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon looked very young. It was like looking at freshmen at a university. Their appearance of just becoming an adult was very fresh.

“Hello, I am Choi Jincheol. Please take care of me.”

“Hello, I am Cha Jihyeon. It is an honor to be able to play for Crescent Moon.”

Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon acted similarly to their young appearance.

They didn’t look at the viewers and say hello. Instead, they looked at Hyeonu and spoke.

“You have to look over there, not this way...”

Hyeonu smiled at their appearance and turned their bodies to the side.

“However, you don’t have to say hello again.”

Hyeonu stopped the two people who were about to bow again.

‘They said they have never streamed before...’

It didn’t seem to be false. The actions of the two players were impossible for anyone who had ever streamed.

-Does anybody know these two?

-I know all the Korean streamers... this is the first time seeing them.

-They must be at a certain level to be recruited...

-They are really new faces. I’ve never seen them before.

The viewers questioned the faces that they were seeing the first time.

Their names should’ve been heard at least once if they were going to be professional gamers. No matter whether it was A-World or the community sites. However, none of the viewers knew Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon. Everyone didn’t know them.

“It is natural that you don’t know them. These two people aren’t streamers. They have never appeared on a livestream. They are just friends who quietly enjoyed the game,” Hyeonu resolved their curiosity. He had also been very surprised when he first heard it.

Did it make sense for someone to have never appeared on livestreams in the world these days?

‘I understood after hearing their situation.’

Cha Jihyeon and Choi Jincheol were just 20 years old. Not so long ago, they were in their third year of high school and threw themselves into the admissions test. There was naturally no room for streaming. Of course, they enjoyed Arena by skipping the academy, supplementary classes, and other night self-studies. They even cut down on their sleeping time.

-I can’t believe there are such natural people.

-Isn’t it because they did dark work?

-If they don’t stream, they can’t do that work...

-I’m worried.

“You don’t have to worry too much. The two of them are in Argon’s guild. They are also friends who just turned 20 years old. It is not that they didn’t stream, but that they couldn’t.”

There was a separate reason why Hyeonu believed in Choi Jincheol and Cha Jihyeon. They were gamers from Yeongchan’s guild. Yeongchan guaranteed that they didn’t have anything to do with that dark side of the game. Hyeonu believed in Yeongchan’s words.

-I admit it if they are 20 years old.

-19 years old is a hard time for Koreans.

-Is it possible to become a ranker while attending school? I could never do it.

-Every high school in South Korea has one or two rankers.

Viewers understood the situation after Hyeonu’s explanation. They were in their third year of high school not so long ago. It was convincing that they hadn’t streamed.

“Then I will introduce the last player. It is the 12th player of Crescent Moon.”

The viewers cocked their heads at Hyeonu’s sudden announcement. It was incomprehensible.

-The last player...

-Huh? Then what about New Moon?

-Is he only picking one person from New Moon?

-What? The last player?

Hyeonu smiled at the viewers and shouted, “He joined Crescent Moon through an intense competition. The final successful candidate of New Moon, Jeong Cheolmin!”

Jeong Cheolmin walked out slowly behind Hyeonu at Hyeonu’s yell.
