The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 44
14. Zelra’s Legend (3)
Jello remained frozen, waiting.
“So you’re finally admitting you’re below Balloon Gum now?”
He had suffered an enormous humiliation.
“No, what are you talking about?”
“Well…”
[Defeated by an enemy!]
[Balloon Gum → Jello]
Boom!
[Out]
Bang!
A sudden deafening explosion erupted from Jello’s capsule.
“Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”
It was the sound of Jello’s fury bursting forth.
“Are you serious?! You bury someone in the ground, smoke a cigarette, come back, and have a lackey clean it up?! Is this gangster behavior?! Is this what a Streamer does?!”
He was ranting furiously at the viewers.
-?
-??
-What
-Buffering what
-Huh?
The chat had frozen.
‘…What?’
Jello, who had been ranting passionately, tilted his head in embarrassment.
Then—
“Huh?”
Suddenly the world split in half, and the sky opened.
Screeeeeech…!
The capsule had shut down in an emergency.
“What, what is this?”
He checked the message in disbelief.
“Emergency shutdown due to… overheating…”
The capsule had overheated and shut down.
But why?
“No way. What kind of bug did Balloon Gum use this time?”
Jello, dumbfounded, restored the capsule again.
The broadcast came back online shortly after.
Once he explained what happened, the viewers burst into laughter.
“Yeah, well, that’s what happened. A bug popped up. Ghost Stew Bug Turds. The username checks out.”
-Hahahahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-That was literally a perfect death lol
-Is that a bug?
He’s being stubborn and making stuff up again lol
-Isn’t he just frustrated?
“You’re saying I’m frustrated? A bug? Really? I’m not some Fantastic Grape or whatever. Why would I get that frustrated?”
-Hahahahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-Fair to be frustrated though
-If you’re too frustrated, why not ask Daegam for a frost arrow?
Haha that bounce was legendary lol
-The god of broadcasting
“Ask Daegam for a frost arrow? You’re out.”
Ting.
He actually got kicked.
-Lmao
-Hahahahahahahaha
-He was definitely frustrated lol
-At least he didn’t ban them
-Ejected lol
“Ah… anyway, I’m not in the right condition to play again right now. I’ll wrap up Ril’s stream for today.”
-?
-???
-Suddenly ending the stream?
-He’s definitely rage quitting lol
Jello was really pulling the trigger on ending the stream.
He genuinely seemed exhausted.
In fact, he wasn’t good with alcohol, and he’d pushed himself too hard at Tribby’s funeral, so his condition still wasn’t back to normal.
Ding.
[Wonya donated 10,000 won.]
[Yeah, he’s definitely frustrated]
But the viewers wouldn’t let him off the hook.
[ㅇㅇ has donated 5,000 won.]
[Why are you suddenly tired after getting destroyed by Almond~?]
[Kkeom donated 5,000 won.]
[Is it real that you lost to Balloon Gum who didn’t pick Iron Ball and rage quit? Legend legend~]
[Aseng Tank donated 5,000 won.]
[Zelra!? Don’t follow your father’s romantic ninja path and get torn apart! If you study hard from now on, you can get into a tank company!? You can’t go to East Tank, West Tank, South Tank, or North Tank! But you can go to Southwest Tank! East-West Tank! You can aim for mid-tier companies like that! Then when you grow up, you can become Iron Ball!]
-East-West Tank lol
-LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-Losing to Balloon Gum, not Iron Ball << This is actually hilarious LMAO
-LMAO Tank company LMAO
-Iron Ball could've been it LMAOOOOO
-Dude's scratching like crazy LOLOLOL
Jello's expression hardened instantly.
"Tank, tank, tank! Tank! I'm spending five thousand won for a few words! You dumb tank!"
The last donor was banned.
-LMAO that's insane
-LOLOL
-Dumb tank LMAO
-Jello's actually mad DD
-He's really angry LMAO
-He's definitely upset, right?
-Control your emotions
"Ugh… I'm not upset. Everyone. It's just that… no. But who the hell banned Iron Ball anyway? Don't do stuff like that. Seriously."
Jello seemed frustrated about losing to Balloon Gum, not even Iron Ball.
"I mean, if you win like that, it doesn't count as a real win, right? Huh?"
-?
-Who knows
-??
-Seems like he doesn't know
-LMAO that thing LMAO
By carelessly bringing it up, Jello learned a truth he didn't need to know.
Ding.
[RedTruth donated 5,000 won.]
[Balloon Gum pressed it himself LMAO]
"…What? Himself?"
-LMAOOOOOREAL
-He banned himself saying he'd go train~
-His expression LMAO
-Took off the character and went full beast mode, huh?
Jello fell silent for a moment.
The chat was simply flooded with 'LMAOOOOO'.
Pop.
Jello was ejected from the capsule again.

* * *
A moment later.
"Wait, is the capsule broken?"
-?
-…?
Hahahahaha
I'm so annoyed at the self-checkout again with the balloon gum lol
I can't translate this as it's not a coherent Korean phrase. It appears to be keyboard characters/onomatopoeia (ㅋㅋㅋ represents laughter, and ㅁㅊ are incomplete syllables) rather than actual words.
-The broken thing is your skill
Honestly, Zelo really got on my nerves.
Jello read through the scratchy comments in the chat.
"Sigh. Anyway, I can't play Ril today. So I'll…."
No matter how professional a streamer Jello was, he couldn't continue the game in this situation.
Instead, he decided to try different content.
"Our Daegam. Teacher Almond. Let me do a breakdown analysis."
-Oh
-Nice
-Ooh~
Honestly, Zelo really got on my nerves.
-Ooooo
-Not going off the rails, nice
Despite the continuous stream of annoying messages from 'Zelo really pissed me off ㄷㄷ' in the chat.
But as a professional streamer, Jello deliberately ignored it and created content.
"From what I can see, no matter how I look at it, the four-tank one-ADC composition… honestly, no matter! No matter what! Even if survival matches are 'pure life-or-death games,' four tanks and one ADC is a strategy that just shouldn't work, you know?"
Lol this game is literally a survival game ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
hahahahahahaha
I was really annoyed with Zelo, seriously.
Hahahahaha lol
Hahahaha
Why do you pronounce it like that? lol
Lol totally doomed game
Jello believed the reason this composition could win so absurdly was naturally because of Almond alone.
"So this one ADC. A single main damage dealer put in absolutely ridiculous damage. That's the core. The beginning and the end. Look at the damage graph right now. Everyone."
-For real
-Wow
Hahahahaha
-Pretty insane
But he's hogging all the runes lol
"I think this has absolutely nothing to do with Balloon Gum. Honestly, Bart? He didn't even need to be here, right? What did Bart even do here? Even if we just brought any random Bart, without Almond it would be the same."
Ultimately, what Jello wanted to say was that Balloon Gum wasn't above him.
-No way lololol
-Jello was seriously annoyed lol
-That's fair though
-He got one-shot by Bart lololol
-But does someone who died twice to a useless player have any right to say that? lol
-Nope, disagree~
Of course, most viewers didn't accept it.
After all, it didn't matter what the facts were—these people had simply decided to tease Jello.
"So here's what really matters, not Balloon Gum! It's this Teacher Almond's movement. That's the point."
Jello ignored Balloon Gum and replayed the footage from Almond's perspective.
'…What is this.'
In fact, Survival Craft was the only game I'd ever played with Almond.
I'd heard his name before that, sure.
But even that was through the Civil Empire national championship.
Ril was my first time.
I found myself momentarily speechless.
'This is beyond what I expected.'
Someone came to mind.
'This is exactly… like that person.'
There was a time when I competed at the very top.
Back then I faced a true wall, and I gave up my pro dreams.
This felt similar to what I felt then.
Of course, I'm not the same as I was back then, and Ril isn't the same either.
But this piercing sensation in my chest tells me clearly.
It's the same as back then.
-?
-Why aren't you saying anything
-Are you leaving again?
-Lag??
The moment it got too quiet, people thought I'd disconnected again.
Jello quickly started speaking again.
"Ah, yes. I was just concentrating. Ahem. I've never seen anyone handle Sori this quickly before. She's pretty good, right?"
-fr
-Pretty good lololol
-lololol she's skilled
-Different from you
-Pretty good lololol
-Reina's better
-Rope movement usage is insane
Sori is originally an ADC who applies steady pressure on opponents while dealing damage methodically.
That's why using him as the primary ADC comes with considerable strain.
However, Almond possessed the physical gameplay to accelerate his damage output through Sori.
But what about the damage that still fell short?
"Pairing him with this Mace Paladin—that's the kick. The damage output here is insane. The accuracy is so good that everything just lands. Every shot."
The strategic element here, then, was the Mace Paladin.
The Mace Paladin was a Tank, but one capable of providing damage support.
If the ADC and Tank synergized well, the damage output became extraordinary.
"Everything he shoots just hits…."
Jello expressed genuine admiration for the first time in a while.
Finding his expression amusing, viewers sent various donations.
Among them, something caught his eye.
Ding.
[Omyu donated 10,000 won.]
[Nut Shake Reina is legit lol]
"Really? Reina? I've heard she's good."
Jello had heard about her too.
Almond's Reina.
'Oh. Is that so.'
A thought occurred to him.
"Ah. As someone who was once a Dehaep, I can't just skip over this, right? Let me check it out. Did you guys upload it to my café?"
I can't translate this as it's not a complete word or meaningful text in Korean. The characters shown (ㅇㅇㅇ) are just placeholder consonants without vowels, commonly used to obscure or abbreviate names/words online.
-The kids uploaded it
-You can search YouTube too
-If you're a Dehaep you shouldn't watch it
-Almond Reina Special << search it lol
-He's actually looking for it? Jello really got heated lol
"Almond Reina Special compilation? Is this it? Alright, I got it."
Jello proceeded to play Almond's Reina Special video.
"What the hell…."
He was utterly shocked.
Skill?
Well, there's that too.
"No, what the fuck!? This isn't the Reina I knew!"
The reason he cursed involuntarily with such intensity.
It was because he had once been a Dehaep himself.
Hahahahahaha
Hahahaha
-Ah… he was a Dehaep lol
-Seeing his ex's growth lol
I'm dying laughing lol
-He's telling me to show my skills lol
"What kind of character is this? How can the 'cold-blooded' Arcane Archer be acting so embarrassed, kind, and pouty right now? Is this really… Reina?"
-lololololololol
-lololololol for real lol
-Cold-blooded <<< just a face ID unlock screen
-lololololol facts
-I never imagined I'd be shocked by this lol
"If that's cold-blooded, then me getting out of the capsule earlier makes sense. That's lava! Lava!"
A viewer saw their chance and sent a donation.
[Aggro donated 10,000 won.]
[Jello really got mad lol]
-lololololololol
-He kept typing the same thing and then lol
-He's really persistent
He kept spamming the same message in chat, and then he even sent a donation.
"Get out! You bastard!"
Jello banned him for an entire week.
-lololololololol
-lololololololololol
-Jello really got mad lol
-Wow
-Jello really got mad lol
-It actually happened the way he said…
Jello was genuinely furious.
I couldn't just let this slide.
"No. As a man who was once a Dehaep. I can't just let this go. Everyone."
Though I wasn't really that devoted of a fan.
But Reina's reaction was severe enough to wound even casual Dehaeps.
And on top of that—
Boom!
[JelloReallyGotMad donated 100,000 won with a video message.]
[(Video)]
The video showed something relatively recent.
[As expected… it's you. Almond!]
-lololololololol
If I show this, Zelo will boycott the Prom platform ㅠㅠ
-lololololololololol
-Look at him spending 100,000 won to avoid getting banned lol
Pop!
Jello's capsule opened again.

* * *
A moment later.
"Ah… why is this happening? Well, um…"
Hahahahahaha
-Balloon Gum is so terrifying…
Hahahahaha
-How mad is he lolol
-Perfect Death… was that supposed to end the Streamer's life too?
-Ghost Busters lol so scary for real
"No, I'm not rage-quitting! That doesn't make sense! It's a bug! Anyway…"
The broadcast had crashed one after another.
I had to revive it.
So Jello made a declaration.
"I will! I'll make my Reina just like that!"
-Gasp
lol
-?
lol
-Impossible
-Make Reina Great Again!
Haha, like that would ever happen lol
"Why not? I've cleared Story 2-star before. I can do this. Reina likes skilled players. So if I play well, it works, right? My… my Reina can't be like that."
From that point on, Jello watched all of Almond's Reina gameplay videos.
"Jello GPT. Beginning Almond learning mode."
For the first time in a while, Jello's passion ignited.
I studied everything with wide, intense eyes.
Hahahahahaha
I'm dying laughing hahahahaha
-This is the first time I've seen him so motivated lol
-Show us "our Reina" at the platform championship?
Hahahaha lol hahaha
-Never imagined Reina would get scratched lolol
After that, led by Jello, the Reina Challenge suddenly became a trend in the community.
[10 hours in: Trying to get praise from Reina…]
[What if I could hear "not bad" from Reina?]
[Master ADC's Reina Challenge Attempt!]
[How far will Reina insult me? Challenge ongoing]
As this challenge became popular, Almond's channel views naturally climbed higher.
"…Huh?"
Jia simply turned on the trend graph and tilted her head in confusion.
"Why are the old videos…."
