Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 273

 

 

Rappers rushed toward the microphone that Yupi had deliberately placed back on the mic stand.

The thirty rappers who made it to the cypher were divided into two groups.

Those who ran to the mic stand to participate in the mic battle, and those who didn’t bother joining that chaotic mess and just waited in their spots for the microphone to come their way.

Yoon Eden was the latter.

Wearing a three-piece formal suit while stroking his chin and watching the chaos with interested eyes, Yoon Eden was captured on camera longer than other participants.

 

[Seven Kick: You have to run for it no matter what. You never know when you’ll get another chance. Don’t you know opportunities come to those who fight for them?]

[Yoon Eden: Hmm, do I really need to?]

 

The interviews of Seven Kick running to the mic stand and Yoon Eden watching him were overlaid like narration on that scene.

 

-Since Yoon Eden dressed up like that anyway, he should join in and do some body blocking, that would be hilarious

-The way he’s just standing there makes Yoon Eden look like some mastermind who orchestrated this whole mess and is just watching lol

-Offer the microphone to God Eden

 

After the fierce battle, the second person to grab the microphone was Skoen.

The moment he grabbed the mic, Skoen immediately poured out rapid-fire rap without a moment’s hesitation or wavering, truly earning admiration as a championship candidate.

 

[Skoen: Mic battle? Go ahead and try to take it from me.]

 

A brief individual interview of Skoen smiling with a competitive expression was inserted, and the scene returned to the ongoing cypher.

 

-The preview made it look like Skoen and Yupi were going head-to-head, but when you actually watch it, Skoen just picked up what Yupi threw away

-Skoen will win anyway! Skoen will win anyway! Skoen will win anyway!

-So damn cool for real

 

Each time rappers grabbed the microphone, the stopwatch at the bottom of the screen updated, and exactly when it reached 16 seconds, Skoen moved the mic away from his mouth to pass it to someone, causing the crowd to surge once again.

This time, since Skoen was at the center of the crowd and couldn’t separate himself, all thirty people were swept up in that movement.

Even in the midst of this, the rappers around Skoen persistently reached their hands toward the microphone.

 

[MoonK: It was complete chaos. I’d never seen such a mess before.]

[Toohyeok: Sigh… What am I even doing right now? Did I come here to rap or to fight?]

 

Individual interviews of two rappers with quite exhausted faces passed by.

MoonK rubbed his forehead with a headache expression, and Toohyeok let out a deep sigh, further emphasizing this hopeless situation.

 

-MoonK always says exactly what I want to say in his interviews

-Sigh… What am I even watching right now? Did I come here to watch rap or to watch people fight?

-Are you telling me they couldn’t predict this much when making the rules? Did they only gather idiots?

-You still haven’t caught onto Dub Net’s big picture tsk tsk, when a real fight breaks out, then you’ll be cheering

 

The rapper who was closest to Skoen took over the microphone, and the stopwatch started counting up from 0 seconds again.

After that, the cypher continued with lackluster body fighting mixed in.

 

[Ben Block stumbles over his lyrics]

[Panicking, he hastily tosses the mic to Nijeous who was next to him]

[Nijeous doesn’t miss the opportunity!]

[Nijeous: I was lucky. Should I say I positioned myself well?]

-From the moment Ben Block’s lyrics got tangled, that bastard Nijeous already had his hand stretched out lol

-Don’t waste time, when you mess up just pass the mic quickly, you bastards

 

[Microphone passed at 14 seconds]

[Due to an absurd mistake, Ralok’s elimination is confirmed]

[Ralok: 1 second… Just 1 second… Ah, why did I pass it then? I should have at least thrown in one more ad-lib before passing.]

-Wow, if he had just said one more “yo” it would have been a pass, that’s really enough to drive you crazy

-Freehit Style got the mic and is being unnecessarily cautious lol, anyone would think he stole it lol

 

Setting aside the rappers’ rap skills, watching those who got eliminated for stumbling over lyrics or making absurd time calculation mistakes was the most entertaining part of the cypher.

 

-I’m starting to get annoyed, what’s the point of this with Top 30 remaining?

-Since when was cypher about body fighting, this is Korean hip-hop level shit

 

[IJM: Is it right for someone to go over 20 seconds by themselves? They have no sense.]

[Sapo: There was a minimum time limit, but was there a maximum time limit? They were glaring at me like they wanted to kill me. How am I supposed to rap when I’m trembling?]

-It’s not the beginning anymore, holding onto the mic for 20 seconds now really is senseless

-Since when was this supposed to be fair play where everyone gets along? If you want to eliminate as many competitors as possible, Sapo’s strategy is right

-You think others didn’t know that and weren’t holding it for 30 or 60 seconds?

-Ah why are there so many fucking gentlemen here

-If I were there and there were guys who haven’t rapped yet including Yoon Eden, I’d hold the mic as long as possible to drag out time lol

 

As less and less time remained, the atmosphere grew increasingly heated, and viewers were secretly hoping for something stimulating like a fight to break out.

 

-At this rate, it wouldn’t be strange if a real fight broke out

-Won’t there be any collar-grabbing? The moment that happens, ratings will explode lol

 

[Until Light safely receives the microphone]

[But after just 10 seconds, a black hand reaches out from the side]

 

And finally, an incident occurred that could light the fuse. PK attempted to steal Until Light’s microphone after only 10 seconds.

-There we go~ We needed someone like that to show up!

-Yeah, at least let this boring cypher have a big event like this

 

[Fortunately, the steal attempt is blocked midway]

[A tense standoff between the one trying to steal and the one trying to protect!]

 

Yoon Eden, who had been slightly behind and quietly slipped in, lightly pushed PK away with a gentle nudge.

It didn’t seem like he used much force, but PK was pushed back very easily.

When PK, who had been body-checked, glared at him, Yoon Eden’s expression turned serious as he looked down at PK with his arms crossed.

 

-PK got scared lol

-Baby kitten body slam!

-That’s… a baby… kitten…?

 

Individual interviews came out showing Yoon Eden adjusting his necktie with an indifferent face and PK looking anxious and intimidated.

 

[Yoon Eden: I thought that was a bit wrong. If a fight broke out, it would waste that much time too. We didn’t have much time left anyway.]

[PK: I thought Until Light had gone over 15 seconds. That’s just how the situation was. Time kept running out, and people who hadn’t gotten the mic yet were still there. So I got too anxious…]

-Stop lying, we all saw that bullshit from 10 seconds in

-Still, Yoon Eden who blocked him looked pretty fierce though

-If he was that desperate, he should’ve kept trying even when Yoon Eden got serious, but he got scared and gave up as soon as they made eye contact lol

-If Yoon Eden wasn’t there to block him and he succeeded in stealing the mic, Until Light would’ve grabbed him by the collar right there

-With only 3 people left including himself, he might’ve been so scared shitless he couldn’t see straight

-A promised opportunity for skyrocketing ratings just flew away

-That would’ve been exactly the situation DTB PD dreamed of

-Wow, Yoon Eden really screwed over Dub Net like this after they dropped him to the revival round

 

Thanks to that, Until Light safely finished his 15-second rap and smoothly extended his hand holding the mic. His sheepish interview was inserted.

 

[Until Light: I saw that he was protecting me from the side. Oh my, because of the formal suit, I thought for a moment I had hired a bodyguard. So as a token of gratitude, I passed the mic to him…]

[The mic being handed to Yoon Eden]

 

Just before Yoon Eden could receive the mic, quick hands snatched it away.

 

[At this moment!]

[G-TE’s lightning-fast mic steal]

 

Like a heron snatching fish from water, they showed G-TE’s hand motion grabbing the mic exactly three times in repetition, then showed close-ups of the flustered Until Light and the hollow-laughing Yoon Eden in sequence.

 

[G-TE: I have nothing to excuse, I’ll just humbly take the criticism.]

-Yeah, you deserve some cursing

-A nobody with zero contribution quietly stealing the mic like a sneaky bastard?

-Damn it, when Dub Net ruins the rival narrative, you should fight fair and square, not snatch it like a coward

-At least I like that he’s not making excuses and mumbling

 

[Yoon Eden: I wasn’t particularly upset. No matter how hard Hyeongjin (G-TE) tried, I could easily take it back anyway.]

 

Yoon Eden in the individual interview screen shrugged his shoulders and leisurely raised one corner of his mouth with a relaxed expression.

Yoon Eden easily put his arm around G-TE’s shoulder, smiled slyly, and in the last remaining 5 seconds, folded his fingers one by one, then as soon as his pinky folded, he very easily snatched the mic from G-TE’s hand.

The stopwatch at the bottom of the screen stopped at exactly 15 seconds. G-TE’s dejected gaze followed the mic.

 

-Fuck yeah, G-TE got schooled

-Counting the last 5 seconds while folding fingers is so cool

-How can someone lose the mic so helplessly, he’s not a paper doll

└Look at the size difference, does he look like he could resist?

 

[The mic goes to Yoon Eden’s hand]

[Only 31 seconds remaining!]

[The mic…]

[Is passed to PK…?]

 

-Are you insane??? There’s 31 seconds left and you’re giving it up????

-Why did he revive from the elimination round only to try to die again in less than a few dozen minutes

-Wow, what kind of guts does it take to live in this world where you can pass the mic to the guy who tried to steal your mic with 31 seconds left?

-It’s Russian roulette – if you fail you get a huge penalty, but if you pass you become a legend

-Isn’t this actually planned between them?

└PK was almost about to cry though? Don’t you see him panicking now? If that’s acting, PK should quit rapping and become an actor

 

[Q. Why didn’t you go first in this situation and instead passed the mic?]

[Yoon Eden: So he could do it comfortably while there’s still plenty of time, instead of rushing and making mistakes as the last person. Even if he didn’t give back the mic, I was confident I could get it back within the time limit.]

 

-Wow, his boldness is insane

-Truly Manner maketh man

-A crazy survival program where abs reveal and Kingsman appear in one episode

└And it’s the same person

-Ah God Eden, how far does your plan extend

-Now if PK doesn’t pass the mic back at exactly 15 seconds, he becomes a traitor

└Plus additional charges for his earlier behavior

-PK you bastard, you wasted a precious second panicking, if Yoon Eden can’t get his pass because he’s 1 second short, know it’s all because of you

-I wanted to see another mic steal, this worked out well

 

PK, who safely finished his 15 seconds without mistakes despite being nervous, promptly passed the mic to Yoon Eden.

As the stage timer showing the time limit changed to 00:15, simultaneously with Yoon Eden’s first verse, the timer in the corner for checking rappers’ time started counting up.

It was the perfect success of a truly nerve-wracking gamble.

 

-Holy shit, he goes right in

-He did it!!! He’s filling the 15 seconds!!!!! Now he just needs to not mess up the lyrics!!!!!

-Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden!

-Wow, talking about RESPECT in this situation is like dissing everyone lol

-I’m getting nervous just watching, but look how calm his expression is. I knew from when he came wearing a three-piece suit alone, but he’s really extraordinary

└You saw the beret, bunny hat, and cleavage crop top but only realized that now, you’re also extraordinary

-The only person who maintained hip hop’s basic attitude of respect here is Yoon Eden, for real

-Wow, decorating the finale like this, now today’s cypher is all anyone will remember

-Mom, I want to become Yoon Eden when I grow up!

-I don’t know… what to say… It’s certain he’s an unprecedented crazy person sent from heaven for hip hop’s revival

 

[Yoon Eden PASS simultaneously with timeout!]

[Guerrilla Mission Cypher Complete!]

 

With Yoon Eden receiving attention as today’s undisputed MVP, DTB Season 4 Ep.4 concluded with the end of the cypher.
