The long-awaited Wednesday had come.

It took three days to do the Mirror Battlefield on the Sunday battle.

And in the eyes of Ian, which could hardly get any sleep for three days, it was insignificant.

‘Uh, once the battle today is over, I’ll lie down.’

Users, who came through the normal procedure, just entered the training center.

Ian wondered how much public value did the ones who have entered the main quest got?

Curious about it, Ian sent a message to Hoonie.

Ian: Hoonie, what is your rank now?

Hoonie, who wanted to brag about his progress, replied in the blink of an eye.

KanjiHoonie: Uhhh, Kueahhh! This Hoonie is going to surpass you. Are you scared?

Ian: Don’t talk rubbish and show me the rank.

KanjiHoonie: Tch, okay. Around 8 hours ago, I just got promoted into a Combat Soldier, and the public value I got is 1,600. Maybe by tomorrow, I’ll be able to shoot till Elite? Unless the quest breaks.

Ian: What about the other rankers?

KanjiHoonie: Well, there is no way that they would possess the public value that I have, but most of them are in a similar situation. As of the moment, we have all been promoted into a Combat Soldier.

Ian: Hmm, okay.

KanjiHoonie: I’ll see you soon, hyung. We are going to join the battlefield soon.

Ian: Okay.

After their conversation, Ian sighed.

‘Phew, I expected all of this… but everything is progressing faster than I expected.’

At present, Ian needed 100 public value to be a Combat Soldier.

Compared to Hoonie, there was a gap of 1,700.

‘Hu, no matter how much I suffer in the battle, I won’t be able to follow them.’

Anyway, Ian got the highest public value that Sunday.

Of course, he participated in a battle with weak specifications, but he ended the battle and was in the first place.

Ian’s achievement in that battle was just 300.

The number of rewards that would appear in the battle days wouldn’t vary a lot, so the public value that one would gain wouldn’t be that much either even if one’s specs were all up.

‘Can I get at least 500 points?’

While Ian was trying to get 500, the other users weren’t going to be playing around.

Maybe the gap that could be narrowed would grow too.

Ian bit his lower lip and slowly left the training camp.

It was just 30 minutes until the battle day.

It was no longer the time to enter the training center.

‘If I go in with a lower rank and turn things around, maybe I’ll go up another stat…’

Ian just shook his head and sat on the rock in the vacant lot.

Pushing till the last for just one stat wasn’t an efficient plan.

‘Huhu, but this surely is good for what I did in one day.’

With a pleased look, Ian opened the Special Ability information window.

-Hero Ability Status

Retained ability: Expertise

A. Expertise

Current Stat: 67

Training progress: 37 percent

-All career stats increase by 33.5 percent

-All combat stats will drop by 16.75 percent

*’Expertise’ has been polished nicely.

You will be much more powerful in your area of expertise.

Ian’s lips turned into a smile after checking the information window.

‘Keu, that is a 33.5 percent rise in all of my stats. Losing 16 percent isn’t that bad of a sacrifice.’

Since he would be sacrificing his combat stats, Ian suffered a loss in vitality, defense, and agility.

Of course, there was going to be attack and agility, and it was just a numerical damage value; it didn’t exactly have any significant effect on the actual battle.

The intellect stats were almost never affected unless one was a Wizard, and if items such as the Judgment of Spirit King and Blood Revenge were used, it was a bit upsetting to lose a little damage, but Ian had the best weapon with him, the ‘Celestial Dragon Warlord’ Orb.

If Ian would be put in a situation where he needed to use the Orb and the Infernal Fire, the general attack was almost meaningless.

“Uhah!”

Ian stretched his hands and legs to release some stiffness in his muscles.

After a while, the shadows of two familiar people approaching him entered his sight.

They were none other than Mark Oliver and Lichao.

“Oh, Ian, you came here fast.”

“Yeah. I just finished the training, and there wasn’t enough time to go for another round.”

At the words of Ian, Oliver nodded, and Lichao looked at Ian with bright eyes.

“Ian, by the way, what stat did you choose in there?”

At the question from Lichao, Ian responded with good faith.

There was no particular reason for him to hide it, and Ian himself was wondering about the ability that Lichao picked.

“I… I took the ‘Expertise’ one.”

“Oh oh, may I know the reason?”

“Well, that is simple. My combat style is mostly affected by the Summoner class stats.”

At that response from Ian, Lichao looked at Ian with respect.

Mark Oliver, who was right next to him, was in his thoughts.

With one hand on his chin, Oliver was thinking about something.

‘Oh oh, the Expertise stats… it doesn’t match one bit with Ian’s combat stat.’

The reason wasn’t something that was incomprehensible.

Ian was involved in battles in the same amount of time as his summons.

Oliver thought that Ian would have chosen the ‘Valor’ or the ‘Runaway’ stat.

‘If that is what he took, then the fire bow that Ian is using is probably related to the Summoner career stat.’

The three people sat around the battlefield until it was opened, and as a result, Ian was able to hear the Special Abilities that the other two chose.

The Magician Mark Oliver took the ‘Overload’ one, while the Warrior Lichao chose the ‘Runaway’ one.

The Special Abilities they chose were the standard ones.

“Well, it’s time for the Wednesday battlefield to open.”

When Oliver got up, Ian and Lichao slowly got up as well from their seats.

At that very moment…

Tring-!

The system messages appeared in front of all the users who entered the Brave Canyon.

[Weekly ‘Day Event’ is starting.]

[If you want to participate in the day battle, please go to the ‘Brave Square’.]

* * *

The ‘Dimensional Mirror’ Saturday Battlefield was broadcasted on the official website of Kailan.

The time it aired was just 10 minutes, but the waves it created was enormous.

Out of that 10 minutes, 6 minutes were recorded by a user in the Chinese server, and that user uploaded it to ‘You-cast’.

For general users who were curious about the content of the Canyon, it was like rain in a drought.

As soon as the video was uploaded in You-cast, it quickly turned into something huge and was spread all over the world at a tremendous speed.

In the middle of the video were Ian and seven other rankers.

In addition, at the bottom of the video were numerous comments in languages from all over the world.

– Wow! This is the class of World rankers!

– The Human rankers are a huge deal, but the Asmodian rankers are amazing too…! This is a real play.

– But what is that unusual magic there? Was there no Magician ranker like that in the US server?

– That person, a user in the Chinese server with the ‘Tactical Formation’ class. Keu, that wide area magic combined with that Assassin’s skills is really a form of art!

– Ah, that Magician is a Chinese user. Then what country is the Assassin from? Any ideas?

– That user is ‘Limlong’, a Korean server user. The first ranking Assassin user in Korea.

– Wah, Assassins are cool.

But what was interesting was that the rankers of the Asmodians were the ones who became a huge deal.

The Mirror Battle was won by the Humans, so why did the Asmodian users got all the attention?

Simple.

The part being shown was the first half of the battle in which it looked like the Asmodians were about to win.

The ranks of the Humans, who were in a bit of trouble in the beginning, were relatively less compared to the Asmodians.

Of course, Ian, Mark Oliver, and Lichao were good enough, but they could do nothing in the ‘comparative aspect’ of things.

– Ah, too bad the video was too short. That must have been an hour-long battle.

– Where can I get the full version?

– If it was there, it would have already spread.

– Right. Maybe this was accidentally leaked by LB.

– Tch, nasty. They could have leaked the full version.

– By the way, did the Asmodians win that battle?

– Isn’t that obvious?

– I think so too. The Humans are lacking one user, and I think it’s hard for them to do battle in that kind of map structure.

– But, that is that.

– Uh, I’d like to go to the Warrior’s Village.

– It would take around a year for me to go to the village. Hehe.

The first leaked video of the Battlefield was from the Sunday night one, just after the Brave Canyon content was opened.

After the video was released, other users began to try harder in entering the new content; it was exhilarating for them to even see.

Before the fire in their eyes could even be extinguished, the announcements on Kailan’s homepage made them even more thirsty.

-Brave Canyon Battle Broadcast Guide.

*Starting at 9 pm today, the day battle in the Brave Canyon will be aired on the official website and community page.

The video was a live broadcast that happened in real-time, and there are several events related to the video.

EVENT 1

Guess the side of the Battle!

The ones who have guessed right in the Wednesday battle will be given a ‘Brave Equipment box’.

The ‘Brave Equipment Box’ contains between 10 to I million gold.

EVENT 2

Guess the heroes of the Battle!

The item ‘Brave Hilt’ will be given to the users who would be able to guess the hero in the battle that would gain the highest contribution points in the Wednesday battle.

The ‘Brave Hilt’ is a ‘Myth’ rank item and accessory whose details and options will be revealed later on.

“Ahh!”

Semi, who was looking at the monitor, was screaming.

“Myth accessory… this is awesome!’

The accessory items have a minimal effect on the combat power.

It was because they didn’t seem to have more than three options, and the number was very limited.

But the advantage of the accessory was that there was no level limit, and it was rare.

In addition, the accessories that would come from the events were limited edition ones.

“If I get that, its starting price will be around 10 million won.”

Whole clenching her fist, Semi opened the event page.

And without hesitation…

A: Human System

B: Ian

The answer was placed and submitted.
