The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 322

Chapter 322

1.

After sending that message, Lee Geondong was waiting for Seonghyun at the cafe with Wang Chanwoo and Kim Youngmin.

Naturally.

“Wow, I never imagined Seonghyun had that kind of talent.”

“Tell me about it. Honestly, I thought it was someone with the same name.”

“Pfft, that’s understandable. Honestly, Seonghyun and gaming? It does feel strange.”

The conversation about Seonghyun was in full bloom.

Among men of this age, being good at games was practically like being a top star, but to think he was already world-famous?

That was the moment he became the best friend in the world.

His friends found out a few days ago when a conversation came up about Seonghyun's gaming in a group chat that included Seonghyun.

At first, they were all half-skeptical.

They knew Seonghyun wasn't the type to lie, but it was just too absurd.

But after Lee Geondong, who was editing Seonghyun's videos, briefly released a clip showing Seonghyun's face.

All hell broke loose.

Of course, the video was uploaded with permission from Ahn Yoojin and Seonghyun, so there was no problem.

And since it caused such a stir among friends.

The talk of asking Lee Geondong to call Seonghyun came up, and it eventually led to this.

“Ever since middle school, I had a feeling Seonghyun would do something amazing, but this is really a huge hit.”

“He must have earned a lot of money, right?”

“Hey, that goes without saying. It’s no joke.”

“Right? I mean, with that level of recognition, it’s definitely a huge hit.”

“Ha! I’m jealous. I play games too, why don’t I have that kind of talent?”

“You think you would? Keuheuheu.”

“Are you picking a fight with me all of a sudden?”

While they were talking like any other men in their early 20s.

The sound of a message arriving on Lee Geondong's phone was heard.

As soon as Lee Geondong checked it.

“Ah, Seonghyun said he’s on his way. Looks like he’s bringing his car.”

“Oh??? A car???”

“Wow, his car must be amazing too, right??? For someone like Seonghyun???”

If gaming was the basic topic of conversation for men in their early 20s.

The hot topic for men of all ages was, of course, cars, and as expected, everyone seemed interested. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Kim Youngmin, who was especially interested in cars, had his eyes sparkling even more.

However, looking at Kim Youngmin and Wang Chanwoo, Lee Geondong shook his head.

“Hey, don’t even mention it.”

“??????”

“Why???”

At Lee Geondong’s sudden attitude, both of them tilted their heads.

Lee Geondong shook his head as if fed up.

“No, last time he said he bought a car, so I looked, and he said it was a used Matiz.”

“Huh? A Matiz???”

“Why???”

To think it was a Matiz when he earned so much money.

As the two, who couldn't hide their shock, asked back.

Lee Geondong shrugged his shoulders and said.

“He said it’s the best car for a person just starting out in their career.”

“...Th... that’s true.”

“...A used compact car... is the flower for people just starting out... it is.”

Although they were reluctant.

As if they couldn't refute those words at all, both of them had no choice but to agree.

Indeed, a 22-year-old could be seen as someone just starting out in their career.

And it was true that Seonghyun was also just starting out in his career.

So they had no choice but to agree with the statement that he had bought a used compact car.

“Sssseup, should I say this is just like Seonghyun?”

“Tell me about it.”

“He is cool, Seonghyun is.”

The three of them were all saying in unison that it was just like Seonghyun.

Indeed, he wasn't the type to indulge in luxury right after earning money.

They thought it suited him quite well.

Unless he had gotten a taste for cars somewhere else.

They thought that was usually just like Seonghyun.

The three men, who were chattering away like that.

Naturally, the drinks in their glasses had long since disappeared, so while they were chewing on ice and talking about games and this and that.

A loud yet elegant exhaust sound was heard from outside.​

Wha-ah-ah-ah-ahng---!!!

“!?”

“Wh-what’s that sound?”

“Th-this exhaust sound?! I-I think it's a Ferrari?”

“Crazy? How do you know that?”

“...It’s small and a bit so-so for a Ferrari, but the unique high-pitched tone is similar?”

As everyone acknowledged that Kim Youngmin, who was indeed very interested in cars, was right.

A car with a striking red light and an emphasized elegant curve began to enter the parking lot in front of the cafe.

U-reu-reu-reu-reu---!!!

Though they said it was disappointing for a Ferrari.​

Hearing it in person, the three men in their early 20s were staring with their mouths agape, as if smitten by the exhaust sound where power and elegance coexisted.​

And for a moment.

Wang Chanwoo said, just in case.

“Co-could it be Seonghyun?”

Indeed, there weren't many people who would drive a Ferrari around this neighborhood.

However, he had said that Seonghyun drove a Matiz.

The moment they thought it couldn't be him.

The door of the luscious red Ferrari Roma opened.​

And the person getting out was.

“Seonghyun!?”

“I-it's Seonghyun!?”

“You said it was a Matiz!!!”

“I-I was sure he said it was a Matiz...???”

All three stood up in surprise.

The scene of Seonghyun, who had said he drove a Matiz, getting out of a Ferrari Roma was literally like a pictorial.

They had known he was handsome before.

But the moment he got out of the Ferrari, should I say he had the vibe of a real prince on a white horse?

His friends gulped at the sight of him exuding an unapproachable aura.

And.

“W-wow. L-look over there.”

“Crazy...”

“Wow, I thought it was a pictorial or something?”

“Is he a celebrity???”

“No, but for someone I’m seeing for the first time, he’s handsome...”

He could hear the few women in the cafe whispering in surprise.

Then, starting with Lee Geondong, Kim Youngmin and Wang Chanwoo all fidgeted with their clothes, smiled awkwardly, and spoke in the most gentlemanly tone they could manage.

“Uh, Seonghyun, you’re here?”

“Over here. Come this way.”

“Haha, you rascal, it’s been a while.”

“...?”

Even Seonghyun, who always maintained a calm demeanor, looked at his friends strangely at their awkward behavior.

What’s wrong with them?

They were always strange, but.

Today, they were exceptionally strange.

As Seonghyun looked at them with a suspicious gaze.

They all spoke in voices trying to sound gentlemanly, contrary to their agitated expressions.

“Haha, my dearest friend, Seonghyun.”

“Haha, our dear friend Seonghyun has arrived.”

“Come and sit here.”

While saying that, they glanced at the women around them.

The three of them sighed as they saw that they were all looking only at Seonghyun.

It seemed they had struck out.

Indeed, with Seonghyun in front of them, there was no way they would look at other men.

“Sigh, well, that’s how it is.”

“Tsk.”

“Tell me about it.”

“...Hey, what’s wrong with you all?”

As all three sighed in disappointment.

Seonghyun asked as if it were strange.

For a moment, they looked at Seonghyun with eyes of envy and jealousy.

But they knew that saying anything to Seonghyun at that moment would make them look truly pathetic.

So all three shook their heads, saying it was nothing.

Anyway, it had been a long time since they had all gathered.

“Keu, Seonghyun, it’s really been a long time, but how has your status risen so much?”

“I know... no, more than that, what happened to the Matiz?”

“When did you buy that Ferrari Roma???”

It was a bit chaotic with all three saying different things.

But isn't that what meeting friends is usually like.

Seonghyun chuckled and answered.

“It just kind of happened.”

“Anyway, it’s nice that the four of us are gathered after a long time.”

“It is.”

“So Seonghyun, what happened? Tell us.”

“Uhm.”

He wondered where he should start.

But Seonghyun first told them that his sister was a single ranker.

It was something she had talked about on her broadcast anyway, and there was nothing particularly strange about it being known.

Of course, the aftermath was a bit different from what he had expected.

“Crazy... so Yuna is your sister!?”

“Wow... a real gaming silver spoon. Wait a minute? Wasn't your sister famous for kendo?”

“Yeah, she was. She was famous even when we were in middle school.”

“Ah.”

At Lee Geondong's words, Seonghyun let out a sigh as if it were a tragic story.

Well, it was only natural.

After Seonghyun started seeing ghosts when he was young, wasn't it Yoo Mina who trained her body like crazy?

But as it happened, she had tremendous talent in physical activities and became a promising kendo prospect.

Even now, she was receiving love calls asking if she couldn't come back to the kendo world instead of gaming.

However, because of that.

When Seonghyun was in middle school, she was the most famous person in that neighborhood.

To the point that there was an urban legend-like story that she had swept through the bullies with a single wooden club.

Of course, there was a lot of talk about aggravated assault and whatnot at the time.

But since they were the ones who had been committing all sorts of bad deeds.

It ended with a settlement, did it?

‘Come to think of it, she said Dad took care of it, right?’

That’s what his sister had told him not long ago.

Since the other side was also at fault.

He remembered scolding his sister, who told it like a heroic tale, saying it was easier than she thought, asking if that was something to be proud of.

Anyway, because of that.

Seonghyun’s three friends all knew Yoo Mina well.

“Phew, I heard Yuna was a promising kendo prospect... but to think she’s really Seonghyun’s sister.”

“I knew from watching the broadcast, but it’s still surprising to hear it again.”

“So you started playing games because your sister recommended it?”

Seonghyun said yes and that he had found a good hidden piece by chance and obtained a tremendous class.

“No, that’s also because you’re good at it, Seonghyun.”

“Exactly, if you’re bad at it, you’d just have a normal class like Chanwoo.”

“Hey! I just did my 2nd job advancement and I’m Rare!”

“Rare or Normal, what’s the difference.”

“Wow! You’re Rare too!”

“Yeah, but I became Epic after my 2nd job advancement~”

Seeing them bickering and fighting like that.

A smile naturally appeared on his face.

It felt like he had returned to his school days after a long time.

As he was laughing and talking like that, feeling a sense of nostalgic longing, a little time passed.

He got quite hungry.

“We’re going to Seongsan Galbi, right?”

Since Seongsan Galbi was right above the cafe.

They only had to move a little.

But the look in his friends’ eyes was unusual.

As they each pondered.

They were originally supposed to eat galbi.

“Sssseup, should we take the cars and go out?”

“Since we have two cars, we can just split up and ride.”

“W-wait, what about me!?”

Kim Youngmin suddenly became urgent.

Wondering why they were all acting like that, Seonghyun was able to notice.

They all definitely wanted to ride in the Ferrari.

Seonghyun chuckled at the sight and said.

“Well, all four of us can ride, but the back seat is narrow, so it’s uncomfortable.”[1][3]

At Seonghyun’s permission, which was essentially saying they could ride.

The look in the three’s eyes changed.

Who would get to ride.

There was only one seat left next to Seonghyun.

Wang Chanwoo and Lee Geondong looked at each other, and Lee Geondong spoke first.

“...Rock, paper, scissors?”

At those words, Wang Chanwoo nodded his head.

And said quietly.

“If you don’t throw... you lose.”

““Rock, paper, scissors!””

Wang Chanwoo and Lee Geondong shouted at the same time and both threw out a fist.

But.

Between them, a single paper was visible.

Kim Youngmin grinned, tossed his car keys to Wang Chanwoo, and said.

“I’m riding!!!”

“Hey!!! That’s not fair!!!”

“You want me to drive??? You never let anyone drive your car. A guy who doesn’t even use a designated driver...!!”

“Hey, it's a Ferrari, what does that matter!!!”

As Kim Youngmin shouted and made a fuss.

Wang Chanwoo and Lee Geondong ground their teeth as if in frustration, and Seonghyun said as if it were funny.

“Let’s decide where to go first.”

“Alright!!!”

“Damn it! I’m riding next time!!!”

“Me too!!!”

Laughing and talking like that, Seonghyun was able to have a fun time with his friends after a long while.
