The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 145
47. A Proper Scheme (1)
About thirty minutes had passed since the Knight Order’s second public recruitment began.
Countless participants had vanished into the depths of the chasm.
“I’m… I’m going insane… We’re really dying down here.”
“But doesn’t it seem like something else is happening down below? I heard screams again…”
“I… I don’t know. I don’t want to know.”
As the event progressed, fewer and fewer participants were cheering.
Instead, villagers who had heard the rumors came flooding in.
“Wow, what is this?”
“This is seriously hilarious~”
“Wait, why does a real fighting pit actually exist?”
Fighting pit.
Among Tribby’s viewers, when arguments broke out in the chat, it was a running joke to invite someone to a one-on-one chat and open a fighting pit.
But here, a real fighting pit actually existed.
None other than in Cheese Village.
“Next up, participant number 19! Mosol! Participant number 26! Strawberry Shooter!”
Lemon called out the next players.
Cheers erupted from among the villagers.
“Waaaaaaaa!”
“M-Mosol!? Did Mosol really come?”
“Is he here to take revenge on the Knight Order!? Mosol!!”
-Huh?
-Mosol came to take the Knight Order test lolololol
-What???
-Why?
The villagers were quite shocked since they didn’t know Mosol had come to take the Knight Order test.
“What’s with that strawberry cake-looking avatar?”
“But the opponent is Strawberry Shooter?!”
“Damn… I’m glad we didn’t meet in real life.”
There was considerable interest in the opponent as well.
After all, Strawberry Shooter was a streamer with decent notoriety.
Resong-i called out the names herself, then went over to Hongsong-i and whispered.
“Um, Hongsong-i. The Leader said to pair Mosol with someone, but… isn’t Strawberry Shooter a bit too tough? Should we change the matchup…”
“Huh?”
However, Hongsong-i scoffed as if she didn’t understand what she was saying.
“If they can’t even pass against someone like that, they can’t join the Knight Order. Resong-i.”
“…?”
She was already a knight through and through.
“We don’t need weaklings like that.”
Haha, that’s seriously hilarious.
The one person most genuinely devoted to the Knights lol
Hong Song-i was at the agricultural cooperative, what would have happened otherwise lol
Gasp; hahaha
Alpha girl, seriously.
“Oh, I see? Ehehe.”
Resong-i was slightly flustered but simply laughed it off as usual and continued with the tournament.
“Both players! Face each other and take your positions!”

* * *
Mosol swallowed hard.
‘Even if I’m a Challenger in Ril….’
Seok doesn’t have much experience.
Of course, those who reach a certain level in one game tend to excel tremendously in other games as well.
But the opponent also plays games quite well.
Strawberry Shooter.
A former Master ADC whose physical abilities might actually surpass those of Mosol, a mid laner.
And─
“Kyokyokyokyo…!”
That bizarre male voice flowing from someone in a strawberry-patterned dress with twin tails.
Even looking at Seok’s avatar, I can’t get used to it.
“Long time no see? Most Solia? Battling a young man like this. How thrilling.”
“….”
Haha, seriously though
From the start, she’s mentally damaged lol
Gi-chan is weak against psychological damage ㅠㅠ
Hahaha, ugh.
“C-Cough. It’s been a while. Senior.”
“Senior? How about you call me Sister~ instead? Kyokyokyo!”
“That won’t be happening.”
“Hooh?”
Strawberry Shooter straightened up at Mosol’s resolute tone.
“Are you denying my gender identity? Most Solia?”
What exactly is your gender identity anyway?
When you keep switching back and forth.
“I-I have my own gender identity too!? I’m just saying I won’t call you sister!”
The moment Mosol became suddenly agitated─
“Fuaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
-?
-??
-Shudder
Suddenly, with a man’s booming shout, an axe slams into my abdomen.
──CRASH!
“Ugh!?”
For a moment, my vision goes white.
Damn it.
-Scared the crap out of me
-No way lol
-That voice lol
-Thought he was a power character lol
-No way lol
“Hahahaha! Why are you letting your guard down!? Boy?”
Strawberry Shooter’s voice suddenly shifts to that of a man himself.
‘I knew it. That bastard.’
Mosol bites his lip hard and rolls his body away.
Boom!
The axe comes crashing down where he had been standing.
Mosol’s eyes widen in shock.
“Are you trying to kill me!?”
“Becoming a Red Player or whatever! Such a flaw means nothing to a man’s advancement!”
-?
-??
-Just one thing lol
-Gender changes as convenient lol
-lol
-True genderless…
‘Don’t waver.’
My eyes dart about, scanning Strawberry Shooter’s equipment status.
He’s wielding a massive axe as his weapon, and I know his original profession is a woodcutter.
His axe proficiency must be considerable.
Meanwhile, I’m a farmer.
I have almost no combat-oriented proficiency skills.
‘Oh, here it comes.’
Strawberry Shooter rushes at me like lightning and swings.
“Cleave!!”
Whoosh!
The axe blade narrowly misses me.
“Waaaaaaah!”
The audience roars with excitement.
“Ah! Player Mosol! You’re being pushed back little by little!?”
Resong-i eagerly adds her commentary.
Mosol glanced behind himself.
‘This is bad.’
The pit wasn’t far away anymore.
Gulp.
‘When did I get pushed back this far?’
That first axe strike had been devastating.
Now Strawberry Shooter would focus entirely on driving Mosol backward.
Whoooosh!
The axe swings again.
‘Again.’
This time he blocked the attack with his sword.
But his feet slid backward.
“This is the end, boy.”
Clang!
Clang!
Strawberry Shooter unleashes a barrage of consecutive attacks.
Pushed back bit by bit, one more step backward and he’d be done for.
“Narag! Narag!”
“Na─rag!”
The audience began chanting in unison, hoping he would fall.
Then Mosol’s eyes flashed with insight.
‘Now!’
A farmer’s skill.
[Manure Spread]
Splat!
Manure sprayed directly into Strawberry Shooter’s eyes.
“Ugh!? Again, throwing dung! Mosol! That’s brilliant strategy! Hehehehe!?”
It seemed to hit exactly what Resong-i enjoyed, and she was thrilled.
“You… you filthy—!”
Strawberry Shooter swings the axe with all his might.
But this moment is exactly the one Mosol had orchestrated.
Whoosh.
Mosol flattens himself against the ground, perfectly timing it with the axe swing.
Whoooosh…!
The axe misses widely, and Strawberry Shooter’s center of gravity lurches forward.
‘What—?’
Snap!
Mosol’s leg sweeps out, already hooking Strawberry Shooter’s feet.
Their steps become entangled.
My center of gravity lurched forward.
My head was already enormous.
My chin—
Mosol seized Strawberry Shooter’s arm and continued that momentum through his own back.
“What!?”
Something that should never happen at our respective weight classes occurred.
——Whoosh.
Strawberry Shooter flew through the air.
Into Narag.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Naaaarag! Naaaarag!”
“Mosol! Mosol! Mosol!”
Tremendous roars erupted from the crowd.
“Waaang!? A spectacular reversal technique has emerged!”
Resong-i was equally excited, bellowing at the top of her lungs.
“Ah, not yet!”
Crash!
A hand remained at the edge of the arena.
“Ugh… Ugh….”
It wasn’t over.
Strawberry Shooter clung to the arena’s edge and held on.
“S-Strawberry Shooter!? He’s alive!!”
Yet he was barely clinging to life.
Whoooosh…!
There wasn’t only Narag at this arena’s edge.
A sea of flames lay there as well.
His body was already burning.
[Burn]
Mosol drew his sword and approached slowly.
He intended to finish this.
“K-Kyo, kyokyo…! M… Most. Solia…?”
Strawberry Shooter changed his voice again, pleading.
“I… I have a request.”
“What is it.”
“C-Could you call me sister? Just… just for when I die, let me be a woman—”
“Tch.”
Mosol thrust his sword into the ground.
Thud!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
A scream that somehow sounded almost delighted echoed out as his form sank beneath the earth.
-That bastard is really relentless
No, seriously, that’s the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Haha, seriously lol
But Mosol was certain he’d heard something.
‘Huh?’
An additional scream echoing from behind.
“What? Wh-wh-wh-what!? What the hell!? Wh-wh-what!?”
In that moment, it wasn’t his forced voice or his raised tone—it was Strawberry Shooter’s true voice that burst out.
‘What is this?’
It seemed like a terror so profound it could shatter his powerful persona lurked beneath the surface.

* * *
Either way, the second round of testing was completely finished.
Half had fallen into the abyss, and half had survived.
Thus fifteen remained, and they moved on to the next test.
“We’re moving to the third round.”
“Line up and follow!”
The third round was a simple interview.
The interview was conducted by Danmuzip, literally like a job interview.
“Why do you want to join the Knight Order?”
“Hmm. There’s a gap in your employment history. What were you doing during that time?”
“If invaders came to the village, how would you respond?”
Quite reasonable questions were posed, and the atmosphere was far more relaxed.
After all, these were all passing candidates.
Those who passed the second round already had the qualifications to be knights.
The reason for the interview was revealed shortly after.
A moment later.
After the third round ended, the successful candidates lined up in front of Danmuzip, on a field with fertile soil.
There were fifteen successful candidates in total.
“Congratulations, everyone.”
Clack.
At the final moment, Almond, the Knight Order Leader, appeared.
“You have all become members of our Knight Order.”
“!”
Everyone wanted to jump up and down with excitement, but for some reason, they remained still in the military-like atmosphere.
Someone even began to weep softly.
[Merang]
She was a Seok-specialist streamer named Merang.
Given her short period of activity, passing the Knight Order was an enormous achievement for her.
-?
-No way lol
-That’s it?
-There’s someone crying??
-Makes sense thinking about the second round lol
“However, you are not all the same cohort.”
“!?”
But there was a twist.
They weren’t entering as the same cohort!
“We decided at the meeting to divide you into two ranks. Based on the third round.”
-Whoa
-Ah so that’s why it happened
-Gasp
“First, the ‘Bung’ rank.”
-Bung lol
-Bung crazy lol
-If it was Strawberry Shooter would it be Strawberry Bung? lol
-If it’s a crucian carp it’d be Carp Bung lol
-Here we go
The Bung rank was the senior rank.
Almond called out names one by one and reorganized the line.
Mosol was included there.
“Ohhh! Me, I’m Mo-Bung!”
“Insane. Me too…! I’m Gul-Bung!”
“We’re the Bung Bungs!?”
These Bungs were incredibly delighted about this.
-Lol Mo-Bung
-Mo-Bung…
-The Bung Bungs are so cute lol
-Not bees but Bung Bungs lol
Then the next rank was revealed.
“Below that is ‘Sung’.”
Haha, so Song-i just changed Bong-i’s ㅗ to ㅜ
-Sung lol
-Like a monkey? lol
-Ah… lol
-Sung lol
“Huh… me, I’m Mer-Sung?”
Merang, who had been sniffling, suddenly stopped crying.
-Is it a servant? lol
-Mer-Sung lol
Oh my, how embarrassing ㅠㅠ
The other members of the order also wore subtly displeased expressions.
In terms of nuance, it was really the same thing.
But the mere fact that they’d been divided into upper and lower tiers made it feel that way.
In any case, what had been the Hongsong Knight Order became Almond’s Knight Order, now with the added Hongsong-Resong division.
They had grown considerably stronger.

* * *
After passing, the new recruits of the Knight Order learned the basic rules of the order.
Gobong conducted the training on the regulations.
After that came the time to explain the overall vision of the entire Knight Order.
This was when Almond made his personal appearance.
“Our purpose is not simply to block the monsters that come here.”
To everyone in the Knight Order, I was an object of respect.
Everyone watched with eager, sparkling eyes, anticipating the vision I would lay out.
“Nor is it our purpose to stop the invaders.”
The buildup was as dramatic as any cutting-edge corporate presentation.
“Ohhh….”
“Then, then what is it!?”
I paused for effect before making my declaration.
“Our ultimate objective is to invade the invaders.”
“!”
-Whoa
-Now that’s it
Manchurian Conquest ㄷㄷ
hahahahaha
Ambition is scary.
-Truly a major power!
Everyone’s eyes gleamed with admiration at the Knight Order’s tremendous ambition.
“Wow, incredible….”
“I made the right choice joining the order.”
“That’s amazing.”
But then….
“?”
An awkward silence followed.
I said nothing more after that.
‘What’s going on.’
‘Is that it?’
‘The vision presentation is just a three-line summary?’
Normally, a vision presentation would include several more points for proper form.
That was truly all there was to it.
“Applause!”
Gobong shouted the word like a command, clapping his hands together.
Clap clap clap.
As the reluctant applause from the new recruits filled the air, Almond made his exit.
Afterward, Danbong followed him out and asked quietly.
“Um… but sir. Where exactly was that village located?”
It was Danbong who was preparing for this war.
Yet while preparing, he realized he didn’t even know where the enemy was.
Almond had only said he’d dealt with the enemy before, never mentioning the location.
“Ah… ahem. Give me a moment.”
“Pardon? No, I need to know now to formulate a strategy.”
Why was he hesitating about this.
Of all things.
“I need to rewatch the broadcast.”
….
Almond didn’t remember.
Hahahahahahaha
-He forgot lol
I can’t laugh that hard lol
-He didn’t even know where it was???
No, haha
That’s hilarious ㅋㅋ
-The famous scene replay is legit though
