Overgeared

Due to their overwhelming presence, Grid and Kraugel went straight to the finals. They shared the same thoughts 30 minutes before the match.

‘Can I win?’

‘I must win.’

‘If not this year-'

‘There might not be a chance to win anymore.’

The two men saw each other’s skills during the last National Competition. They acknowledged each other and were afraid. They had both expectations and concerns about the potential that was hard to quantify of the other person.

Duguen, duguen, dugeun...

The Korean team’s waiting room.

Grid sat on the sofa, his heart beating much faster than usual. He thought of the first day he met Kraugel. He was reminded of the emotions he felt when facing the sky above the sky, who wasn’t easy to see.

‘...Good.’

How could he explain this deep emotion? Grid changed due to his meeting with Kraugel. He became known world wide, knew his potential strength, and gained confidence. In addition, he was able to run towards the goal of ‘Kraugel.’

‘If I hadn’t met you at that time, I wouldn’t have grown to where I am now.’ Yes, for Grid, Kraugel was a special person. Sometimes he felt like a benefactor. ‘He’s the benefactor who shared the information of the Behen Archipelago with me.’

Grid smiled and rose from the sofa.

"Kraugel, you have an obligation to see my growth.”

Victory. Fight and win at all cost. Grid was filled with strong desire.

Now he realized. In the future, he wouldn’t be the one chasing after another player. He would be the one going ahead. Grid had to evolve, for the young players of South Korea and the players of the Overgeared Kingdom. It would be done by breaking the sky called Kraugel.

‘The role that you have been taking so far... I’ll do it for you in the future.’

Kkuok.

Grid raised trembling hands to his grim face.

The other Korean representatives were afraid of interrupting Grid’s thoughts and waited outside the room.

“Who will win?”

Viola wasn’t affected by the atmosphere and questioned. Then.

"Of course it will be God Grid.” Peak Sword didn’t hesitate for a moment before replying.

“...”

The other players couldn’t easily guess and remained silent. The rematch between Grid and Kraugel that took place after one year and three months.

It didn’t just involve the pride between the two, but the destiny of South Korea and the United States. The first place in the overall rankings would be decided by who won the match. The citizens of the first ranked country could secure a large experience buff.

From the standpoint of the Korean players, they were praying for Grid’s victory. The problem was that the opponent was the sky above the sky. The man who had reigned since Satisfy opened. No matter how strong Grid was, it was hard to be sure if he could beat Kraugel.
