The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 98
31. Frog Defense (2)
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
Even as I ran, Danmuji glanced sideways at Almond once more.
[Foolish Youth]
Pfft.
Seeing that nickname floating above his head, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“K-khem.”
Danmuji stifled his laughter and began to think hard.
‘Think… just think.’
I had to prove myself in just three matches.
Hadn’t Coach said he’d only watch three matches?
This was a test.
If I failed to pass?
I might have to change my nickname to something like “Danmudumuk.”
So I had to do this well.
‘Looking at the atmosphere, I do have the initiative here, right?’
Besides Almond, nobody else was particularly eager to call the shots.
In truth, skill-wise, only Hong-cha was capable of it.
But she was the typical ADC who found shot-calling tedious.
She was just good at situation briefings.
Survival mode didn’t really require briefings that much.
All five of us moved almost as one unit anyway.
‘Then I’ll have to distribute them.’
[Relic Chest]
[Open]
Pop.
The chest opened and weapons spilled out.
“For the distribution… shall I do it like before?”
“Yay~”
The weapon distribution was as settled as it had been from the start.
Almond got the bow, Hong-cha got the gun, Danmuji got the spear, Gobong got the shield, and Lemon got the staff.
‘It’s not an incredibly stable composition, but assuming we have the skill, this setup has high ceiling potential.’
By my nature, I’d prefer to add another dealer-tank here.
But this composition wasn’t bad either.
Having one more dealer meant we’d have a significant advantage when we had a skill advantage.
However—
“Um… there’s no bow.”
Hong-cha muttered while looking around.
‘Huh?’
Well, that could have happened.
Sacred artifact boxes don’t necessarily contain every weapon in equal distribution.
The ability to adapt to these variables is one of the skill factors in survival matches.
“Then what about guns? Just one rifle?”
“Yeah.”
“No other ranged weapons!?”
Danmuji looked more flustered than Almond.
“It’s fine. I’ll just grab a sword.”
Whoosh.
Almond picks up a dagger as if it were obvious.
“Uh….”
Danmuji thinks it over.
Adding an Assassin would be good for simple job balance.
‘Protecting two ADCs while pushing like a five-man tank is perfect for our Knight Order composition.’
Lemon doesn’t really have initiator qualities either, and Gobong’s skill level is ambiguous.
In situations like this, the best approach is to bunch up shouting “Charge! Charge!” while protecting the ADCs.
An Assassin doesn’t fit.
So he asks.
“What Avatar are you going with, hyung?”
“I’m using Rubisword.”
Danmuji froze.
Not a pure Assassin, but still a late-entry damage dealer.
‘And that makes the pick a bit heavy.’
On top of that, it’s an Avatar that’s meaningless before level 6.
-kkkkkkkkk Rubisword again
-Just two tools lol
-Almond Reina Rubisword does have some pop though lol
-Isn’t Rubisword really clunky in survival matches though…
Rubisword excels at establishing territory rather than superior mobility.
It’s fast in moments, but the game itself unfolds slowly.
It’s similar to how in Civil M you position an Archer on the ramparts and push forward.
In survival matches where the battlefield constantly changes, it’s awkward.
“Of course, I acknowledge your Rubisword skill, hyung….”
Still, because Almond had skill, he didn’t speak carelessly and tried to persuade him bit by bit.
Suddenly Almond shakes his head.
Shake shake.
“Ah, no. I don’t have to use Rubisword. What do you want?”
Almond shifts his attitude.
“I’ll use whatever Avatar you want.”
“…?”
Danmuji was utterly dumbfounded.
‘What is this? That textbook-like manner of speaking?’
-What kkkkk
-No soul in the way he talks kkk
-What kind of words did I just hear???
‘But… regardless, it’s good?’
Whether there was soul or not, once words left your mouth, they couldn’t be taken back.
No matter who it was—not even Almond.

* * *
Right after the game started.
Almond had said something on a channel only the viewers could hear.
“For these next three games, I’m just going to follow Danmuji’s orders unconditionally.”
-?
-Huh?
-Why?
-Eh?
Boom!
[Factos donated 10,000 won.]
[Isn’t this the Clever Youth, not the Foolish Youth? You got the concept wrong]
-kkkkkkkkrl
-Just do the opposite with this guy
Haha yeah right lol
-If he doesn’t give orders he becomes clever, if he does he becomes foolish…
In truth, there was a very ‘clever’ scheme hidden here.
“That’s because… only then will Danmuji enter the Chamber of Truth too.”
-Gasp
lol
Hahahahahaha
-It was passing the blame!?
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
-What happened in there
This only made the viewers even more curious about what had happened between Choi Sa-rang and Almond in the Chamber of Truth.
Ding!
[Ttok-jin-wae-ran donated 5,000 won.]
[What were you doing in the Chamber of Truth?]
Donations like this came flying in.
But Almond remained silent.
Even as more donations poured in asking further questions.
“Hah…!”
Almond deliberately refrained from divulging anything.
-lol this is insane kkk
-This is relentless, absolutely relentless.
-Real talk, Almond’s cracking kkk
-Wait, is there an embargo or something?? kkk
-Ugh, this is so frustrating lol kkk
-Did he get hit with a gag order or what
-This is seriously infuriating
-At this point, it’s not the Chamber of Truth, it’s the Chamber of Mystery
-Hahaha kkkkk
Ding.
[Tankman donated 10,000 won.]
[Choi Jin-ping and the mysterious chamber with Almond…]
-Lmao kkkkkkkkk
-At that level though?
-Whoa…
-His mouth is a golden shield
-Real talk…
-Tankman’s entrance kkkkk
-Choi Jin-ping lol kkkkkkk
Even with this sarcastic donation, Almond didn’t respond.
In fact—
Boom!
[Rubisword donated 50,000 won.]
[What are you doing in the Chamber of Truth? I’m being serious here!]
-Whoa
-Yikes
-Ruby Princess is serious yikes
-Whoa
-Game’s over…
Seeing that even Rubisword had stepped in, Almond judged that silence alone wouldn’t cut it.
“Well… I suppose I have no choice but to put it up for auction. I’ll whisper the answer to whoever wins. Starting bid is 50,000 won…”
-?
-Yikes
-??
-No choice? kkkkk
-He’s collecting money here lmao kkk
-Seriously kkk, don’t do this you bastard
-We don’t even need to know?
-Haha kkk
-“Clever Youth”
With just those words, everyone else didn’t need to understand.
“Anyway, I’ll follow only Danmuji’s orders for all three matches. That’s the bare minimum revenge I can take.”
Almond tried to wrap up the situation with those words.
Instead, he only made it worse.
-???
-Wait kkk
-What happened to you that you need revenge???
-Why are you taking revenge on your own ally kkkkk this guy’s insane kkkkk
-Got hit by Choi Sa-rang and taking revenge on Danmuji kkkkk
-Did you really get beaten?
Now everyone was even more curious about what Choi Sa-rang had actually done.
Above all, this was too ridiculous to even call revenge.
-But if you do that, won’t you all get first place?
-You won’t enter the Chamber of Truth?
-You only enter the Chamber of Truth if he makes a judgment kkk
-The best judgment dd
The viewers realized that Almond wouldn’t intervene in the judgment, nor would he judge himself.
Wouldn’t that actually skyrocket their chances of getting first place?
“You’ll see when we get there.”
Almond seemed to genuinely think this was his form of revenge (?).
It felt like: Everyone do well except that Clever Youth! …
“You’re saying you’ll choose the Divine Form as I tell you!? Thank you!”
Zing!
Danmuji jumped up excitedly.
‘By overreacting now, I make sure he can’t take back his words later.’
This was a thoroughly calculated move. Danmuji was making sure Almond couldn’t back out.
But to Almond’s eyes, it looked different.
‘He’s deliberately mocking me.’
Danmuji’s exaggerated behavior seemed like he was teasing him.
It felt like he was expressing: I’m this happy that Clever Youth isn’t giving orders!
It was an unavoidable misunderstanding.
Even Almond’s own viewers all thought the same thing.
-Danmuji’s happiness reel kkkkk
-Kyaa
-Jump! kkkkkkk
-That jump was crazy high
-kkkkkkk insane kkk
-Wow kkkkk he’s so happy? Is this really revenge?
The viewers seized the moment to tease Almond relentlessly.
-“Foolish Revenge”
Hahaha, taking revenge alone lol
The parties involved don’t know about the revenge lol
Revenge with no victims lol
-If this were revenge, Oldboy would’ve had a happy ending.
Almond ignores the viewers for now and listens to Danmuji’s order.
“Then bro! Can you grab this for me?”
Danmuji holds out a staff.
“A staff?”
“Yeah! I think it’d be great for Honryeongsa?”
“Okay.”
“Okie dokie~!”
Danmuji, absolutely thrilled, gives a thumbs up and turns around.
“Alright! Let’s go! Knight Order! Fighting!”
hahahaha lol haha
I’m so pissed off lol
The pickled radish tension is crazy lol
-More excited than his Danbong days?
Watching the excited Danmuji, Almond speaks to the viewer chat.
“Hmm… Do you all know about frog sous vide?”
An odd statement out of nowhere.
-?
“A frog sous vide? Lol”
-Huh?
Sous vide is a cooking method where ingredients are cooked at a consistent, relatively low temperature of 4 to 60 degrees.
So was Almond suddenly talking about frog cuisine?
He wasn’t.
“If you put a frog in water and slowly raise the temperature, it just keeps swimming happily, and even when it exceeds 100 degrees, it doesn’t realize it’s being boiled until it dies.”
Why is this sous vide lol
It’s like you’re talking about the boiling frog theory lol
Frog sous vide lmaooo
But sous vide is legit though lol
-Why suddenly say this??? lol his username really checks out
Most viewers caught that frog sous vide referred to the boiling frog theory.
But they struggled to understand why Almond was bringing it up now.
“Right now, Danmuji is the frog sous vide. As he excitedly gives orders, the temperature rises by one degree each time, and when the water boils, he enters the Chamber of Truth.”
-??
-Oh no
lol so funny
Frog sous vide drone lol
-Ahahaha, so that’s what it was lol
-Wow… that’s seriously vicious lol
-Ahahaha insane lol
-Hilarious lol
-No frog attack drone? Hehe
-The follow-up was insane lol
-Pouring out curses lol
*Ding!*
[ㅋㅋㅋ has donated 10,000 won!]
[Wait, is he intentionally trolling?]
Did I say something too extreme?
Suspicions even arise that he’s intentionally trolling.
‘Huh? That’s not it.’
Almond clarifies, apparently thinking the same thing.
“No. It’s not that… I’m going to try hard. But since Danmuji is ordering everything alone, in the end the ranking….”
And so on and so forth… I end up adding more explanations.
-Panicking lol
-Foolish Youth…
-Lol ah so cute lol
“Anyway, you’ll see when we play. Well. No, I’m not trolling, I’m telling you.”
Almond stops explaining and just insists that you’ll understand if you watch.
He’s right too.
Almond is an athlete.
Intentionally losing in a game for other interests?
It’s something he absolutely despises.
There’s no way he’d do that.
But….
“Huh?”
But then I realize while talking.
“Wait, I’ve never used this staff before….”
The staff I picked up without thinking.
I have no idea how to use it.
-Lol this is crazy
-Instant troll declaration lol
-Building it up
-Troll appears~ lol
-Wow, the setup gives me chills hehe
-Lol insane, isn’t he getting misunderstood? lol
-If Almond loses because he can’t do it, what’ll people say on the community…?
-Cold sweat starting to drip from Almond lol
Other weapons might be manageable, but the staff is genuinely problematic.
I remember all too clearly what kind of catastrophic results occurred when that staff ended up in Balloon Gum’s hands.
And this isn’t even the placement test—this is Q we’re talking about.
These are all Streamers training with the tournament as their goal.
‘This is serious.’
Ding.
[+Sacred Relic Description – Read More]
Suddenly, I widened my eyes and began frantically reading through the staff’s description.
I couldn’t possibly be the kind of person who deliberately threw just because I received some negative feedback!
-Frantically flipping through the manual lol
-Finally reading it now lololol
-So this is how much he needs to be overwhelmed before he reads the description…
-Is this Choi Sun-sin’s coaching?!
-lololol Almond’s reading the description! This is insane lololol
-He’s reading it in a panic lololol
-If only he’d read the Mana Beam description to Danmuji too…
