Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

'What? share that Little Fool…?'

The atmosphere turned cold at the short-haired woman's blunt remark.

Recently, had Jin Yuha ever been subjected to such direct and explicit taunts?

No, never.

Of course, there had been stories of some low-level parties selecting healers and supporters based on looks rather than skill, using them as sexual outlets.

But Jin Yuha had proven his worth with his abilities.

In fact, he had faced constant scrutiny and had to prove himself due to the 'male quota' and his 'unusual' appearance when he entered the Academy. At first, those with biased prejudices had underestimated him, calling him a 'lucky guy.'

But now, he stood shoulder to shoulder with rising stars like Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee, revered as a 'flower on a cliff.'

'How dare she treat him like a male prostitute of the party?'

For Kang Do-hee, who had witnessed Jin Yuha's relentless proof and bloody battles right beside him, it was like touching a sore spot.

Kiki─

Kang Do-hee was about to kick off and grab the short-haired woman by the hair.

"Stay back, Kang Do-hee."

If it hadn't been for those words from Jin Yuha, it would have become a reality.

The short-haired woman pouted and let out a 'phoo' laugh.

"Phew! What, are you a prince or a master? One word from you, and that nasty dog is wagging its tail!?"

"······."

"Yeah, you're just a rookie among professional hunters anyway."

The woman continued to provoke them, as if she had some ulterior motive. But Jin Yuha just stared at her without saying a word.

"Hmm? What are you gonna say? Prince. How do you make them all shut up like that? Do you have something huge and massive that makes them unable to move when it's in?"

Then, Jin Yuha opened his mouth.

"Are you curious about how I shut them up?"

"Yeah, I'm really curious. I'd like to experience it for myself."

At that moment, Jin Yuha's aura changed.

Goooooo─

An aura that weighed down on the crowd. It felt like the air had become heavy and oppressive.

Not only the woman in front of him, but even the other parties who had been watching with interest stiffened their expressions.

Stomp.

Stomp.

Jin Yuha walked slowly towards the short-haired woman, and she took a step back, her face covered in cold sweat, as if she had tasted something bitter.

"What, what…! Are you trying to start something!?"

Jin Yuha let out a contemptuous laugh.

"Are you scared now, after showing off so brazenly?"

"No, I'm not scared…!"

"Hmm, it doesn't seem like you're just picking a fight for no reason… Ah, you're on air, aren't you?"

Jin Yuha's gaze shifted to the woman's chest, where a pitch-black camera lens in the shape of a brooch was attached.

"!!!"

Realizing she was in a bind, the woman bit her lip with a dismayed expression. Jin Yuha shrugged and let out a hollow laugh.

"Ah, I understand. You're just jealous because younger and prettier girls are becoming famous as hunters, slaying monsters. It must be frustrating."

"······What?"

"It seems that way. Huh? I'm a pretty famous hunter too. I thought I could do it, but I didn't become as famous as I thought I would."

"Shut your mouth."

"So, you must have felt inferior and jealous. You're envious, too. Oh, the Utopia kids are also being deployed on the same operation? Ah, why don't I poke them around and get some publicity for myselves?"

By this point, the short-haired woman's face was red with rage.

"But do you know what the problem is? The fact that you're backing down from someone like me, a man, is embarrassing enough, and it's recorded on your broadcast too."

"······."

"Hello, viewers of this crappy hunter's show. Can you see how she's too scared to say anything now?"

Jin Yuha greeted the camera lens.

"What are you going to do now! It's different when you do it yourself, but it feels dirty when you're on the receiving end, doesn't it?"

"······."

"If you're confident, come at me. I'll take you on anytime. But if you really want to try, be prepared to lose an arm."

Jin Yuha said, his black eyes fixed on her.

At those words, the short-haired woman, who had been about to charge forward, swallowed hard. She knew that backing down now would be stupid, and that it would become a permanent handicap in her future as a hunter. But she also knew that this was a different story.

'······Crazy.'

The killing intent emanating from Jin Yuha was so intense that she felt like an herbivore in front of a carnivore, her body trembling involuntarily.

If she said one more thing, she was certain she would lose an arm. But even so.

As she glanced away, the chat window went wild.

Praising Jin Yuha for standing up to her, asking why she wasn't responding faster, and even mocking her for possibly being scared.

'······This won't do.'

Just then,

"Alright, that's enough. The mission is about to start."

Richard, who had welcomed us earlier, stepped in to mediate between the two.

"You're lucky."

The woman huffed and turned away, but inside, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Swish─

However, an ominous sound followed.

"I would have let you off with just your hair since you stopped here."

"What…?"

Thud, thud, thud─

"Otherwise, I would have taken an arm."

The woman touched her hair, which was already short, and found that it had become even shorter.

.

.

.

'Haa… it's annoying.'

I sighed inwardly, deactivating my charisma. It had been a while since I'd received such raw provocation.

'In a world where gender roles are reversed, it doesn't really matter anyway. Why pick a fight over something like this?'

Normally, this would have been easily brushed off or dealt with in a subsequent mission as a lesson, but I couldn't let it slide this time.

As the representative of Utopia, I couldn't show weakness in front of hunters from various nations. And one of our party members was someone who couldn't stand this kind of provocation.

'······Has Kang Do-hee calmed down yet? Even though I cut her hair, I hope she's okay…'

It would be troublesome if things weren't okay.

If we made another party combat-incapable before the operation even started, our hard-earned reputation would plummet in an instant.

But I had responded quite strongly, so it should be fine.

'I guess they'll be satisfied with this soda and work hard.'

As I glanced back,

'Hmm? What, what are you guys…?'

I had expected Kang Do-hee to not hold back, but I was surprised by the reaction of the other party members.

Yoo-ri was about to strike with her dagger, lowering her shield. Sophia, why did you draw your silver arrows? Ichika, why is your shadow still quivering? …And even Ga-eul?

The only one who seemed normal was Shin Se-hee, who was quietly smiling. It was surprising.

"That person is Ling Xiao, a Chinese hunter."

"Oh, yeah. That, that's right?"

"Huhuhu······. She's making a very clear provocation from the start?"

Shin Se-hee brushed her hair aside. No, I take it back. She's the scariest.

"Did you all see that just now? That should be enough to make sure they're not here."

Shin Se-hee turned away from Ling Xiao and suddenly spoke to the party members.

"While you're on the offensive, I'll be doing some groundwork."

"······Se, Se-hee?"

What did she mean by groundwork? I hadn't heard anything about it.

"Huhuhu. You must never, ever lose. If anyone makes a mistake, they should be prepared for the consequences."

"······You, guys?"

"Overwhelmingly. And don't leave a speck of dust behind. Make sure that pathetic party never dares to raise their heads in front of us again."

Shin Se-hee laughed sinisterly.

Everyone nodded heavily.

"You, guys? Can't you hear me…?"

.

.

.

"Channel, Utopia has started live streaming."

─ ???

─ Crazy!!! It's been a while since Utopia's live stream!

─ The first time since Blue Crab Wave!

─ Yuha!

─ Yuha!

─ Se-hee!

─ Why haven't you been here! I've been waiting─!

As soon as the broadcast started, the number of viewers surpassed ten thousand.

"Hello─ everyone!"

Shin Se-hee, who hadn't shown her face in a while, greeted them cheerfully.

"The reason I turned on the broadcast today is… today we've received a monster-hunting request from the U.S.!"

─ The U.S.?

─ Are you in the U.S. now?

"Yes, but it's not a dungeon, it's a dungeon explosion site that we're going to conquer. That's why we're able to broadcast it!"

However,

Shin Se-hee paused for a moment.

"There's something a little unusual about this operation. It's that other parties from different countries are also participating!"

─ Huh?

─ Other parties?

─ Info) The U.S. monster-hunting request involves parties from various countries.

─ So, are we working together?

"We're not close enough with any other parties to work together on this operation, and it's difficult to train together because we're from different countries."

─ That's true.

─ If parties that aren't even together work together, it's more likely to cause team kills than patterns.

─ Crazy.

"So, instead, it's a competition! Which party catches more monsters! Which party conquers faster! That's what you should focus on!"

The chat window heated up, and the comments were too fast to keep up.

"Shall we take a look?"

Shin Se-hee's face appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The camera switched to a drone floating in the air.

The Utopia party members were shown walking forward.

"Here's Utopia Party! Clap to welcome them!"

Although Shin Se-hee tried to cheer them on, the chat window was filled with countless hooks.

─ ?

─ ?

─ ???

─ ???

─ What the…?

─ Why are they flying…?

Because the Utopia party shown on the screen was flying in the air, stomping on their enemies with grim faces as if they had met their mortal enemies.

Only Jin Yuha maintained an awkward smile, looking a little uncomfortable.
