The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 122
43. Tutorial (2)
Due to Reina’s sudden acceleration, I found myself facing dozens of targets.
-What is this?
-Is this a tutori…?
-F, freaking is this Almond-style tutorial? They’re making me do this
That tutorial is so cringe lol
This was a development rarely seen in tutorials.
Normally, a single target would be created to help the player acclimate.
But Reina seemed intent on flustering me to establish discipline.
There were some terrible senior instructors who would deliberately create reasons to scold their juniors by making them do things that absolutely couldn’t be done if a subordinate arrived.
Since Reina was fundamentally a soldier operating on the battlefield, she had adopted this method.
“Hah.”
However, I simply took a light breath in preparation for shooting.
Contrary to Reina’s intentions, I wasn’t flustered in the slightest.
Rather, I was more startled when I first heard Reina’s voice. Multiple targets like this weren’t something that could fluster me.
In the first place, I had no idea what the original difficulty of this tutorial was supposed to be, so I wasn’t surprised, and it wasn’t particularly difficult for me.
I simply thought, ‘Oh, so it’s like this normally,’ and drew the bowstring as usual.
And released the string as I always did.
Twang!
-?!
-Already shot?
-Wow
-Basically shooting without even aiming
As always, the arrow flew so simply, so effortlessly that the words ‘Already?’ came naturally.
The arrow soared smoothly and arrived precisely at its intended destination.
Thunk!
Right into the center of the blue target.
Boom!
As the target burst, additional damage was dealt, and the soldier’s head exploded.
It seemed he had very little health remaining.
〔So it wasn’t luck? But I need to hit all the rest too. This target has a time limit… huh?〕
In the very next moment, an arrow pierced another soldier’s target behind it.
Boom!
Additional damage struck again, shaving away about half of the soldier’s health.
“Ugh!”
As the soldier cried out, another arrow flew, this time bursting the target on his abdomen.
Kaboom!
Blue light flashed brilliantly with a thunderous sound.
〔Right. If I hit the target three times consecutively… stronger mana is imbued, and the damage increases….〕
Reina was explaining her passive ability, “Mana Burst.”
Each time she hit a target, the arrow’s magical power increased, and on the third strike, mana would explode within the body, dealing greater damage.
However, since she had to explain it, she did so—though her voice carried clear reluctance.
Boom!
Another Soldier’s head exploded. Once again, the arrow had struck dead center on the blue target.
That made four targets destroyed now.
〔Huh…? Yes, four… Um. Lucky, I guess? From the fourth onward, the damage increase diminishes… But, but I can stack “Divine Descent”….〕
Kaboom!
Kaboom!
Now the Soldiers were taking damage so severe that a single hit would obliterate them.
A Soldier struck in the arm burned away entirely in mana and died, while a Soldier hit in the torso simply burst apart.
I continued firing my bow.
As if bewitched, I couldn’t even hear Reina’s sullen voice in my ears.
Only the bluish targets and my bow aiming at them existed in the world.
〔Divine Descent means… summoning me, a legendary being, down to this mortal realm….〕
Kaboom! Boom!!
Targets exploding with each shot.
It felt like I’d entered a fighting game from my childhood.
Even as I fired arrows, it felt like striking with a fist brimming with inner energy.
Intoxicated by that sensation, I kept drawing the bowstring.
Since I didn’t need to draw arrows—just pull the string—the firing rate was unrealistic.
Kaboom-boom-boom-boom!
This was probably the greatest difference between Battle Rage and Ril.
Unreality.
Transcendent power.
I was now experiencing that stark contrast to its absolute limit.
〔If I descend, you can use even greater p, power… and I, I can also….〕
Whoooosh!
In an instant, five or six arrows fired in rapid succession. After that, arrows continued flying without pause.
Dozens of targets burst apart with a satisfying sound.
Kaboom-boom-boom!
The targets, which had originally appeared to number around thirty, were now dwindling below ten.
‘Nine.’
Now I could count the remaining targets with my naked eye.
Blue streaks of light erupted from my bow in an instant.
Kaboom-boom-boom!
Five targets vanished in a flash.
‘Four.’
Four remained.
Twang──
The moment I wondered if I should have drawn the bowstring longer.
Crack!!
The last four arrows burst forth in the span of a single blink.
It was practically a quadruple shot fired simultaneously.
No—to the enemy’s eyes, it was indistinguishable from true simultaneity.
Four arrows detonated at once.
〔I’ll… help you and fight together. This….〕
By then, Reina’s explanation of her possession had finally concluded.
〔…How is this possible.〕
At the end came Reina’s own commentary as well.
-How is this possible lol
-King possible lol
-Lmao
-Wait, is Reina surrendering?
-Basically a surrender declaration
Reina surrenders lol
And it’s almonds again ㅠㅠㅠ
The viewers erupted in cheers at this rare spectacle.
Almond, who had been firing frantically, finally glanced at the chat.
‘Huh? Is it over?’
And I realized that I could no longer hear Reina’s explanation.
‘Could this be the end of the tutorial?’
From my perspective, I hadn’t learned a single thing before it ended.
I was aware that Reina had been explaining something, but I couldn’t remember any of it.
I was like a college student who attended the entire lecture but remembered nothing.
“Excuse me, Reina. I didn’t catch what you were saying. Could you explain it again?”
Hahahahahaha
-Wasn’t listening at all lol
-??? : Why bother listening to what Reina says! Just dodge everything and hit everything!
-Lmao
-Asking her to explain again lol
-Expected answer : Get lost, bug.
-That doesn’t work on Reina, bro….
-Almond’s lecture focus is real? lol
Grind.
For some reason, I could hear the sound of Reina grinding her teeth.
She probably wouldn’t explain again. I was about to search for a strategy guide instead.
〔…Since it’s been a while since I’ve met a contractor worth using. I’ll explain one more time as a special exception.〕
She declared that she would repeat the lesson for me.
-?????
-Not a bug? Damn
-??
-Seriously, let’s report this bug
-No, my Reina would never do this!!!
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text as it appears to contain informal/slang Korean characters and abbreviations that don’t form standard words, making it unclear what the intended message is.
-Does Reina even show her face? lol
-Such an ugly face… I’m suffering…
〔Descent of the Divine…〕

* * *
Descent of the Divine.
This is a type of ultimate ability that all contractors within Ril can use.
It summons legendary beings who dwell only within one’s body and exhibit a fraction of their power directly into this present world.
Literally, the descent of the divine.
Naturally, it possesses destructive power that differs fundamentally from the skills of other contractors.
Because of this, when one uses Descent of the Divine often determines victory on the battlefield.
The conditions for using Descent of the Divine vary depending on the type of divine being.
“Ah. So if I hit randomly generated targets consecutively, I can use Descent of the Divine faster, right?”
〔That’s right. Once you accumulate a total of 100 stacks, you can use Descent of the Divine.〕
Reina, the cold-blooded magic archer, has the condition of hitting four or more consecutive randomly generated targets to activate Descent of the Divine.
Damage increases significantly up to three consecutive hits, and from four consecutive hits onward, damage increases slightly while stacking “Marksman’s Pride,” a stack mechanic.
[Marksman’s Pride×27]
Currently, I had accumulated 27 stacks of Marksman’s Pride.
This came from hitting all the previous targets.
It wasn’t from hitting 27 targets—it came from hitting 30 targets consecutively.
To build this stack, I needed to hit targets with at least a 4-combo.
The difficulty is considerable. It certainly deserved to be called “Marksman’s Pride.”
But a question arose here.
I had to repeat this a whopping 100 times to accumulate 100 stacks.
Isn’t that too difficult?
Reina had already answered this concern.
〔Regular soldiers grant 1 stack, rare-grade monsters grant 5 stacks, epic monsters and contractors grant 10 stacks.〕
Fortunately, it wasn’t a system that blindly accumulated one at a time.
Hitting a contractor with a 4-combo or higher multiplies the stack gain by 10. In theory, successfully landing just 13 combos against a contractor means I can use Descent of the Divine.
In other words, for Reina to play properly, I always had to target contractors. That’s the structure that allows frequent use of Descent of the Divine.
She’s quite an aggressive divine being, I’d say.
〔Well then, let’s make it our goal to use Descent of the Divine once during the battlefield progression.〕
The moment Reina’s explanation ended, the stack reset.
[Marksman’s Pride×0]
And as if waiting for this moment, someone appeared from the enemy stronghold.
Boom──
A man with an exaggerated physique far beyond that of ordinary soldiers, a faintly glowing halo, and hair of blazing flames ignited by the Avatar effect.
At first glance, he was clearly not a common soldier but a Contractor.
“Are you my opponent?”
The identity of that man who spoke with such confidence was….
[Lower-Tier Bot]
[Igtan – Raging Inferno]
A practice bot.
“A lower-tier bot? What. For a lower-tier bot, he’s incredibly confident.”
I can’t laugh like that hahahahaha
Haha, that’s hilarious lol
Please stop hating on bots ㅠㅠ
Almond’s expression is genuinely flustered lol so funny lol
The viewers might have laughed at my genuine reaction.
But the lower-tier bot, Igtan, was not amused.
“How insolent!”
Whoooosh!
Igtan charged forward, spewing flames from his entire body.
“Die!”
As Igtan charged, the enemy soldiers’ morale surged, and they began rushing forward with greater speed.
This was the power a Contractor wielded on the battlefield.
Just as in actual warfare, when generals charge forward first, the army’s morale skyrockets.
However──
Blue targeting marks appeared above Igtan’s body.
And I drew my bowstring.
That was the extent of what the eye could perceive, and beyond that, it became difficult to comprehend what was happening.
All that could be seen was….
A cascade of blue light streaks erupting from my bow.
A meteor shower embroidering the darkness above.
Rapid-fire mana arrows.
No, it was a rampage.
Countless arrows flew forth, each piercing multiple targets as if magnetized, embedding themselves into Igtan’s body.
Thud-thud-thud-thud!!
Numerous arrows embed themselves.
Blue thorns sprout across his body of blazing crimson flames.
The sheer number was too vast to count individually.
Dense mana wrapped around Igtan’s form.
Boom──!
A sudden explosion.
This is Reina’s “Mana Burst” ability, which activates after detonating three consecutive targets.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
The explosions continued several more times.
A thick, acrid blue-gray smoke billowed up, engulfing everything around us.
Whiiiing….
As the wind from the explosion’s aftermath cleared the smoke, a black silhouette staggered and crawled.
And then──
“I’m… insane….”
Thud.
It collapsed and died.
-????
-Even if it’s just a low-tier bot, is this speed even possible???
-Insane? Is that your last words?
-Crazy guy for real
-Wait, did he just say insane?
-Lolololol
-Wait, is he dead?
-Lololol
-That’s how insane it was~
Watching Igtan’s flames extinguish in an instant, I reflected on what had just happened.
‘The bow really is everything.’

* * *
〔This… this can’t be.〕
Reina couldn’t even hide her shock this time.
What was that rapid-fire barrage just now?
“So I can invoke now? But how do I do it?”
Yet this contractor only had eyes for moving forward.
〔What? No, invocation requires 100 stacks… huh?〕
[Marksman’s Pride×120]
100 stacks were already accumulated. In fact, there were 20 more stacks beyond that.
〔W-wait, all of those shots from just now actually hit their targets…?〕
Reina belatedly realized that the barrage from moments ago wasn’t simply dealing damage.
Every single shot had found its mark.
-Huh? 120 stacks? lololol
-I’m losing my mind!!
-What is this. I’m eating lunch out today.
-All of those hit their targets???
-Are you crazy Almond! Are you crazy Almond! Are you crazy Almond! Are you crazy Almond!
-Ahhh this is so satisfying, this is real Almond.
-Mom, I’m scared I’ll become Igtan when I grow up! Mom, I’m scared I’ll become Igtan when I grow up!
Reina ultimately relented and moved on to the next stage.
〔Alright… I’ll show you how to perform Possession.〕
