The graves of my parents were situated on a fairly high place.
It was a little difficult for to climb, but still, it was a spot with a great view.
The surroundings were open, and the blue sky was visible.
My mother had liked to look at the scenery from high places, and that was the reason for choosing this location.
Today, the weather was clear.
In the morning, I thought there might be so clouds, but by then, the sky had cleared up brightly.
It seed like luck was on my side. If I ever recall today, the beautiful, blue scenery would co to mind.
"...I'm here. Mom, Dad."
My instructor had asked to greet them alone, so he stayed down below.
It seed he was giving the space to spend my ti as I wished.
Since it wasn’t the usual ti for visiting the grave, I was the only one around.
This, too, was fortunate.
I didn’t have to show my tear-streaked face to anyone else.
Even though I had washed my face in the restroom, traces of my tears remained.
Even now, my mories of my parents were still vivid.
Perhaps that was why it hurt even more. They had been such wonderful people.
I had been blessed with parents who were so much more than I deserved, and the loss hurt all the more.
"I’ve beco a pro gar. I’m doing well, and my teammates are nice. I’ve made so friends, too. We took a picture together. Would you like to see it?"
But now, I understand.
The greater the love, the more painful the parting.
But that doesn’t an it’s acceptable to just give in and stop moving forward.
It would be the most tragic thing to say that your love ruined .
It would be disrespectful both to the ones who gave the love and to myself, who received it.
"My tournant results have been great. I haven’t lost once. Soon, I’ll participate in a bigger tournant. We all promised to win there, too... We made that promise yesterday."
Even now, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say such things.
Is there really no part of responsible for my parents' accident?
If I had quit Kendo and returned ho, would they have welcod back?
The doubt still hasn’t been erased.
But my instructor said that such thoughts would only hurt my parents more.
I couldn’t argue. Maybe I didn’t want to.
Perhaps, sowhere deep inside, I was harboring a narrow-minded thought that I wanted to feel at ease.
Still, isn’t it ti to let go?
It hurt so much. I cried a lot, and I suffered in silence.
If it hurt this much, perhaps I deserve a little forgiveness.
My life had been stuck in place since the accident.
So, in front of my parents, maybe it’s okay to remain a little more like a child.
"I accepted the gift you sent. It’s a little late, but I’ll get the clothes altered to fit . They’re too big for to wear as they are."
Originally, children are selfish and only think of themselves, right?
It was my father who said it was okay to act spoiled.
A man shouldn’t say one thing and do another.
As you said, I’ve decided to act spoiled again.
I’ll imrse myself like I did before, obsessed with victory... I’ll wield my sword to win.
It’ll still take ti. It’s not a wound that can heal imdiately.
But I believe it will get better little by little.
"Kendo... I’ll think about it once my leg heals. I can try swinging the sword a little, maybe take a picture of it too."
I felt sothing lighten.
The emotions that had been rising inside turned into tears.
A warm tear rolled down from the corner of my eye and down my cheek.
That one tear was enough. After that, no more tears ca.
The sensation that had been squeezing my chest loosened little by little.
The still ongoing sumr breeze gently caressed the back of my neck.
That day. Just like Mom.
"Ah, I didn’t wear the uniform on purpose. I’ll show it to you after winning the next tournant. I already showed you the dostic tournant victory, right?"
Now, I’ll show you how far I can go.
The day before the accident, I was at my peak.
Although I didn’t get the chance to prove it, my skills and efforts didn’t just disappear.
As long as I’m alive, I can keep fighting.
And I’m still alive.

Once again, this ti of year had arrived.
The World Championship period, filled with both the expectations and concerns of the fans.
On the early morning of the 27th, Sigma eSports arrived at the airport.
The mood was good. The players, as well as the coaching staff, showed excitent on their faces.
Though it was early, fatigue seed to be overshadowed by anticipation.
Before the departure procedures, the players shared their thoughts on advancing to the championship.
(Attached photo: Luche solo photo)
Luche (Lee Ga-yun) said, "It’s a difficult goal, but I will definitely win."
Fans who have followed the dostic league for a long ti have seen Luche’s growth.
If we go further back, there was a ti when she couldn’t even properly hold her shield.
Her response, "I am always better than I was yesterday," reflects that past.
And in Sigma eSports, there’s another player with a similar story.
The newcor who swept through the IKL Sumr League, ‘Ga-wol’ Han Da-eun.

Ga-wol, too, had been unable to debut as a pro for a long ti due to leg injuries.
As if to release all that pent-up frustration, the Sumr League beca Ga-wol’s league.
……
In IKL, Ga-wol was a player who truly lived up to the nickna "Supernova."
Among insiders, her skills are often compared to those of Phantom or Reaper.
Such a player confidently declared, "No matter who cos, I can win. I will win and beco champion."
Can Luche beautifully close the long story she’s been writing?
Can Ga-wol, like in the IKL, bring about a surprise at the World Championship too?
We wish Sigma eSports all the best in their rise.
Even after the Sumr League ended, there was still a long wait until the Championship.
After the final, the World Championship qualifiers took place.
Aside from Sigma and Galaxy, four teams competed for the remaining spots.
After fierce battles, ACL made it as the third seed from Korea.
Though an important tournant lood ahead, there was no need to rush.
The journey had started with a long-term view from the mont the Sumr League began.
Suddenly raising the pace would only backfire.
Every day, we sharpened our skills and kept an eye on the gas of the formidable opponents we might face.
We never forgot to gather and share our thoughts.
Ti passed quickly, and soon the draw ceremony approached.
"Welco everyone to the draw ceremony that marks the start of the much-anticipated World Championship!"
"I'm your host, caster Hoeun, and I’m joined by three mbers of the analysis team."
"Today, we will conduct the draw for both the qualification and main group stages."
The World Championship is the largest-scale tournant.
With teams from Korea, China, Japan, and West Asia, the number of gas and teams is vast.
In Korea, ACL entered through the qualifiers as a lower seed.
They will battle against relatively weaker leagues and bottom-seed teams from Europe and North Arica.
Our team’s main stage begins with the group stages, where 32 teams, divided into eight groups, will compete.
The qualifiers are not of much concern.
We’ll check the matches for ta analysis, but our focus is on the group stage draw.
Until it’s our turn, we’ll just relax and enjoy pizza.
Hekate, pulling the cheese, glanced at with wide eyes.
"Da-eun, is there any team you really want to face?"
"Yes."
"Which one?"
"Anyone who’s good at assassination. I want to see how great those players are."
Thinking back to the Arena matches with Reaper,
It will definitely be a fierce but enjoyable fight.
Hekate looked bored, but my thoughts hadn’t changed.
In a tournant this large, it matters who you beat to advance.
The data gained from facing strong teams is invaluable.
After all, to win the championship, you must defeat all the opponents. It’s better to rise by defeating strong challengers.
As the teams were assigned, our team finally got placed in a group.
"This team is one we can’t lose to, for sure."
"They’ve caused many upsets recently. Sigma has been placed in Group B, and the team they’ll face is..."
