Starting with the broadcasting station bulletin board, I posted an ADC recruitment notice on all kinds of Legend of League-related communities.

The response was not so bad.

-Wow, but are you really stopping the broadcast? ㅜㅜ It's such a shame

Of course, it was different from the recruitment notices that ordinary teams put out in many ways.

Usually, teams prefer younger players. This is because they see a lot of potential for development.

However, I was looking for teammates to play with me right away, not promising players who will grow in the future, so the situation was bound to be different from other teams.

When I posted the ADC recruitment notice, I finally felt with my skin that I was creating a team.

Now, I'm really making a pro team…….

‘Well, that's that.’

I've posted the recruitment notice for now, but I don't know how many applicants will come.

If so, I needed to do the work that needed to be done first.

[Me: I should write the contract with Getback-nim and Sosimhan-saram-nim, when are you available?]

*

Fortunately, or perhaps, it wasn't that difficult to arrange Getback and Sosimhan-saram190's schedules this time.

[Getback: I'm free today]

[Sosimhan-saram190: I think I'll be done around 6 o'clock]

To be exact, Getback always said he was okay, and all that was left was to adjust the time to Sosimhan-saram190's schedule.

‘You son of a bitch, you got lucky today.’

I already knew this from the first meeting, but Sosimhan-saram190's love for exercise was not ordinary.

However, now that I've decided to become a professional, I have to keep what I have to keep.

‘It's good to exercise, but at least it shouldn't interfere with team schedules and personal practice.’

To put it bluntly, it's not an ordinary thing if he neglects personal practice or even gets injured while exercising.

I was going to give him a very stern warning about that today.

‘You're dead.’

Of course, I had no intention of mixing any personal feelings into it.

I'm a team owner now, would I do such a petty thing?

Therefore, I was going to give only a light warning, very bold and generous.

And…….

The place I chose as the meeting place was the Seodaemun cafe where I met the 3-minute-top-bridge-name-shin-do last time.

I wanted to call them to the dormitory and practice room, but I couldn't because the interior construction was still in progress.

“Oh, here.”

As I entered the cafe, Getback, who was waiting, waved his hand.

Messy hair.

A loose, droopy t-shirt.

A faint beard shadow.

An impression that looks a little older than his age, but still looks gentle.

It wasn't hard to recognize Getback because he was already known for his face through broadcasts and in his previous pro gamer days.

“Hello.”

“As expected, you came all bundled up. Weren't you hot?”

Getback greeted me with his characteristic sly attitude since we got pretty close during the 5:5 match.

“Yeah, well.”

“Ahaha, yeah.”

One of my long-standing concerns was how to hide my overly flashy appearance more naturally.

Of course, I achieved some results about it, and the current outfit of an oversized hoodie + mask + glasses + hiding my hair could be seen as one of the answers.

“What about Sosimhan-saram-nim?”

“I think he's coming. Oh, what would you like to drink?”

“Of course, I have to buy it. What would you like to drink?”

The team owner being treated by the players of his team from the first meeting… I couldn't show such an unsightly thing.

While waiting for the drinks to come, we talked about various things.

The topic was, of course, about the team.

“…You really meant it.”

“Did you think I was joking?”

“It's not exactly like that… I think it's more serious than I thought. I thought we would start in a single room.”

I'm sorry, but I was originally planning to do that, but now things are going well.

Well… of course, I had no intention of saying that out loud.

“You didn't change your mind, did you?”

“No way. It's better.”

Getback confirmed the contract without hesitation, showing his characteristic slyness.

It might be a little rude to say this... Being sly like that is just like an ajusshi.

“The annual salary is… quite high. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't be half of this.”

“I told you. We're going to the 1st division.”

To be honest, I have to fix the salary at this amount for a two-year contract now to save money later.

Well… there is a salary increase item when we get promoted to the 1st division or advance to the Red Cup, but that much is within the scope of the expected expenses.

“You seem to have a lot of confidence?”

“I do, but I guess Getback-nim doesn't?”

“Hey, no way. What do you take me for?”

He said that, but there was a sense of unease in Getback's eyes.

I can understand.

A team that's just being created.

Starting from the 2nd division promotion/relegation playoffs, not even the 1st division league, it was no different from heading into the unknown, and the team members were also in a hole, so it would have been more strange if he wasn't worried.

Getback knows what failure is.

Perhaps that's why he has given up on new challenges until now.

“Believe in me.”

At those words, Getback looked at me with an unknown expression, and then nodded.

“I believe in the team owner.”

And the signature was completed.

Good, you are now my slave.

Of course, I didn't utter that last word.

It was while I was putting the contract into my bag.

Ting!

[Sosimhan-saram190: I have arrived.]

“Oh, he's here.”

And as if waiting, the cafe door opened.

“Welcome─”

The moment ‘it’ entered the cafe,

The air in the cafe hardened.

“……yo.”

What exactly is it for the air to stop?

I didn't know what it was until now, but now I think I finally know what it is.

As if watching a carnivore appearing in a place where herbivores are, a primitive wariness was evident in the gazes of the few people in the cafe.

After humans achieved a brilliant civilization, humans' only enemies were limited to other humans.

Perhaps that's why, people avoided each other's gazes and moved their bodies inward, as if they were looking at a long-awaited natural enemy.

And… the instinctive wariness was the same for me.

It can't be, it can't be.

Even though I prayed and prayed that it wouldn't be that person, the giant creature's footsteps headed towards our table.

“Are you Getback-nim and Outlaw-nim?”

“……Hic!”

Wow, what's so big?

Could it be that 190 of Sosimhan-saram190 was his height?

Of course, I had some idea.

He refused pro offers, saying he was exercising, and delayed discussions about the team, so I thought he was living a hardcore-bodybuilding life.

But…….

‘…He's not just a bodybuilder.’

There is talent in all sports.

In that sense, Sosimhan-saram190 had a height and physique that could be called the rainbow of the bodybuilding world.

He was, so to speak, a genius for bodybuilding.

‘…Is he really human?’

A giant who seemed to easily surpass 190cm.

An upper body that looked like it was about to burst.

Thick arms that, if swung, I'd have a chance of dying in one hit.

Compared to that, the impression itself seemed a bit naive, but that didn't mean that his ferocious body was hidden by his facial skin.

“…….”

Just a moment ago, I thought I would give Sosimhan-saram190 a big scolding when I met him.

I admit it. I was arrogant.

How could I be so reckless, looking at that size?

I don't know how many days I have left to live, but I don't want to confirm that day.

“Sorry I'm late.”

“Ah, no… please sit down. Ah! That, um… drinks! What would you like to drink?”

“Ah… then I'll have an iced Americano, please.”

“Yes, yes!”

Having taken the order, I ran to the counter as if running away to receive the drink.

“Ah, one Americano, please.”

“That's 4000 won.”

Having calmed my trembling heart, I took the drink and went back to the table.

Somehow my steps were heavy.

I want to run away from here.

However, I can't.

“Ah, you're here.”

Getback, as the elder he was, was skillfully continuing the conversation with Sosimhan-saram190 with his characteristic slyness and friendliness.

‘…Isn't he scared?’

I knew he was very friendly, but I didn't expect this level of it…….

He was a respectable person in many ways.

“So, about the future of the team……”

Getback skillfully led the conversation, perhaps because my respect was shining.

How we're going to do things in the future.

What the 2nd division league is like.

How to find an ADC.

However…….

Sadly, Getback's lead didn't last long.

This was because Getback's smartphone suddenly rang without any warning.

“Ah, I'll take this call for a moment.”

What, what is it?

Don't leave me!

“I'll be right back.”

As Getback left for a moment, a strange atmosphere began to flow at the table.

“…….”

“…….”

It's quiet.

If there's something that makes me feel even more frustrated in the silence, it was Sosimhan-saram190's attitude.

He doesn't even look at me, ignoring people as if he's not going to talk.

I was going to just let it go at first.

But after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, I couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with that attitude.

It was an old complaint that I had felt from the first meeting.

“Why do you keep avoiding my gaze?”

“…….”

Oh, are you going to ignore me now?

“Excuse me?”

“……Yes.”

The moment I heard that raspy voice.

Why, for what reason?

Why does this huge creature, so unfamiliar, have a familiar scent?
