The Genius Archer’s Stream Season 5 Episode 111
35. The Second Lesson Here (1)
All members of the Knight Order had their broadcasts running.
[Danmuji]
[Goguma]
[Hong-cha]
The only one not streaming was Lemon.
[I will be taking a break from streaming for a while.]
A notice posted on her broadcast board.
==== ====
I’ve decided to enter closed-door training.
I’ll see you all as a stronger Lemon.
I’ll see you at the next Knight Order collaboration broadcast.
==== ====
-What? She’s taking a break? Completely?
-Just keep the broadcast on and train lol
-She turned off the broadcast and went on a losing streak, now she’s taking a break lol
-Did the Coach say something harsh to her? ;;;
-Hong-cha without Lemon…
-But she even streams during competitions lol so what’s the deal??
-Hey Gyu-ri, everyone’s grinding right now, what’s this about closed-door training?
Lemon understood.
Though the Knight Order members weren’t streaming together right now, their clip videos were being shared across platforms, connecting them.
It was a kind of world-building expansion for streamers.
This was actually one of the quite important elements for a streamer.
Especially since Almond’s head-smashing video was getting considerable reactions right now.
Lemon, who wasn’t streaming, inevitably couldn’t benefit from that.
“Sigh… it is a shame though.”
Gyu-ri rested her chin on her hand and looked at the comments on her notice.
-That Coach is pretty harsh with his words ——
-Why is only Lemon doing closed-door training? She could just keep the broadcast on and solo rank, right?
-Because of that weird Coach, what kind of situation is this…
Everyone was blaming the Coach.
On the surface, it might look that way.
“That’s not the reason though.”
Gyu-ri moved her hands over the keyboard to add another comment, but.
‘No.’
She put her hands down instead.
Time would sort this out anyway.
“Sigh… phew…!”
Gyu-ri takes a deep breath and simply turns on Hong-cha’s broadcast for a moment.
Hong-cha is currently watching an Almond video.
Chatter, chatter.
Her distinctive voice comes through.
My heart settles.
Then we jump to the highlight of the video—
[Oh my god, that’s so funny, Almond oppa! Is that really right? What do I do!?]
Hong-cha bursts into laughter, her voice bright and cheerful.
Hehe.
A smile spreads across Gyu-ri’s lips as well.
Watching her like this without turning on my own broadcast, old memories surface too.
I was a fan of Cha-yeong Hong, and a vicious(?) sniper.
That was the beginning of Streamer Lemon.
“And the end…”
A streamer who is a fan of Hong-cha.
That is perhaps both the beginning and the end.
Streamer Lemon has never escaped from there.
Coach saw it correctly.
Lemon’s Ril skill developed to match Hong-cha.
That has continued until now.
So she can’t play Ril properly unless it’s a duo.
She’d rather stream other games.
There are no cases where she turns on a Ril broadcast alone.
‘That is…’
That felt like showing Gyu-ri my bare face without a single touch of makeup.
‘There’s no helping it.’
So to build up my skills through solo ranked, I have to automatically choose closed training.
Not simply because Coach said so.
Rather, Coach just saw it too clearly.
That I need time to play without broadcasting.
‘Let’s go.’
I headed toward the capsule.
‘Training again today.’

[Matching Complete]
[Game Starting.]
Whoosh!
In an instant, the scenery shifted to inside an airship.
‘Huh?’
Lemon’s eyes widened in surprise.
A familiar avatar came into view.
‘No way….’
I thought no way, but here we are.
It’s real.
[Foolish Youth]
That striking nickname.
There’s no way to miss it.
“D… Daegam?”
“Huh?”
Whoosh.
Almond turns his head.
“Lemon?”
“Ehehe~! Nice to see you~! Daegam~!”
Lemon grins widely and waves her hand.
-Oh Lemon
“What? I ran into him while doing closed-door training lol”
Gasp hahaha
“Lemon still calls him ‘sir’ haha”
Haha, you’re not even streaming but we ran into each other anyway haha
Before survival shows, they really don’t do shit lol
Survival matches require more players than siege matches, but there aren’t many low-tier ranked players, so the queue often overlaps.
Lemon, who had been focused on solo-queuing, felt a bit flustered, but on the other hand, a thought crossed her mind.
‘Maybe I can win this time?’
Could I finally taste victory in a solo-queue game?
I did get matched with Almond, but it was purely random anyway. That’s fine.
My mind rationalized it away.
Victory is near, and training can wait.
‘Huh?’
But Lemon underestimated the world far too much.
In this world, true randomness isn’t exactly favorable to humans.
There were other misfortunes as well.
“Wahaha! Lemon~? What, you got matched during your training? This is crazy?”
[Balloon Gum]
Balloon Gum was right beside me.
[Bontovi]
I didn’t know who he was, but at first glance—in terms of gaming skill—there was another human with an ominous appearance.
“Ah, Lemon. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Bontovi.”
“Ah… Bo, Bontovi.”
Lemon remembered.
“The Archer Shorts! I watched that.”
Almond’s Archer Shorts were quite famous—anyone interested in streaming knew about them.
Of course, only almonds appear in the video, but the video title was something like “A-rank is achievable with just Ambriel, what a trash commander ㄷㄷ”
That “pathetic commander” was Bontovi here.
“Shorts? What?”
Bontovi suddenly shook his head and asked Balloon Gum.
“Hyung. Should we kill him?”
“Ha, really~ This is why I hate kids with sharp instincts. You got caught being a troll~”
Lemon flinched at their murderous banter.
Haha, that’s hilarious!
-Why do those two match so well?
Haha should I kill you bro? Lol you’re crazy
“U, uh-huh? Y, you’re quite the actor~”
Lemon laughed awkwardly and moved closer to Almond for no reason.
‘Let’s escape.’
There was an even stranger person here.
“Safe. I need to find the safe. We can’t win with this team. No, this crazy King Gul, you bastard!”
Slap! Slap!
Standing in front of the map, torturing himself by slapping his own cheeks.
“What are you saying! Get it together! Is safe the right call? After everything I’ve said?! Right, King Gul. No? King the Great Gul. I believe in you. You. This map’s safe angle is so beautiful though….”
An avatar with a large head muttering like a madman to himself.
[King Gat Gul]
His identity was King Gul.
Lemon finally realized it.
“Huh? R, right! Daegam~ Are you still doing the collaboration?”
Almond was definitely in the middle of King Gul’s guest appearance.
I wondered why he was in the game here.
It seemed they were playing the game together too.
“Yeah. We’re doing live practice right now.”
“How can you do live and practice at the same time?”
A sharp question.
The two terms directly contradicted each other.
Yet Almond answered so easily.
Click.
I point my thumb toward the back.
“Like this.”
Bontovi and Balloon Gum are standing there.
“Krkrkrkr.”
“Hehehehe.”
-kkk
-kkkkkkkkkkkk
-“The superconductor between real combat and practice”
Damn, haha
-Ahahaha
-Such an understandable expression kkk
Lemon nods without realizing it.
“I agree!”
He nods very enthusiastically.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
‘Ugh. What do I do. Am I going to lose again?’
I hate showing repeated defeats.
That’s why I didn’t turn on the broadcast, but I got caught by this strange Q and it’s no different from being forced to stream.
In this situation, I can only rely on Almond and King Gul.
Especially Almond.
Victory or defeat will likely depend heavily on what this person does and how.
Lemon naturally approaches and asks.
“Um, um~ Daegam? Do you happen to have a plan for which incarnation you’ll use?”
“Ah. I’m doing whatever he tells me to do.”
I point to King Gul, who’s staring at the map like a madman.
“Oh, really~?”
That was welcome news to hear.
So Almond will follow King Gul’s instructions.
At minimum, we won’t place lower than fourth.
“Ah, wait….”
Almond asks Lemon for permission, then suddenly approaches King Gul.
“I have something to ask the Teacher.”
“?”
Why is he going over there with such determination?
Lemon follows along.

* * *
Meanwhile, King Gul.
His mind is spinning like a madman right now.
‘If I win this time, I’ll completely establish my dignity as a teacher, and I’ll eradicate whatever Ttok-cheong is.’
With only this singular determination, I open my eyes wide and read through the map.
“Teacher King Gul?”
Almond asks.
“Ah, just a moment. Don’t talk to me.”
“I’ll give you a quiz.”
“Ah… Yes? A quiz?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of quiz, you fool!!! A student!!!”
-Sudden outburst kekekeke
-Lolol
-Kekekekekeke what is this keke
-What’s he trying to do now keke
-For real what???
-Huh?
-Is it a math quiz? keke
Lemon was also confused.
What kind of quiz is he giving?
‘Daegam, you’re doing something strange again…’
Something feels uneasy.
It feels like he might suddenly ask me to choose between getting shot with an arrow and dying or becoming fertile.
Lemon still hasn’t escaped the PTSD from Cheese Village.
“What must you do when you board an airship?”
Huh?
For Daegam, that’s a surprisingly normal question.
“Hey, don’t distract me! Of course it’s reading the map!”
King Gul taps the map he’s looking at and gets irritated.
He’s become extremely sensitive after seeing Bontovi and Balloon Gum.
He wasn’t even aware that Lemon was right beside him.
“Ah~ Reading the map? I understand.”
Snicker.
Almond laughs.
The meaning of this laughter became clear five seconds later.
“Have you decided on a landing point?”
Almond moves on to the next question.
‘Damn it. Now’s the time.’
King Gul suddenly springs into action.
“Move out of the way! Now! Jump now! Drop! Droooop! Emergencyyyy!”
-Lmaooooooo
Are you crazy? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Hahahahahaha
Emergency lol
-It really is an emergency
So you’re telling me you just decided this after analyzing it all this time?ㅋㅋㅋ
I’m using up all my time down to the 1-second mark lol
-He really wants to win
“Emergencyyyy!”
“Huh, wha—?!”
Lemon was startled by the sheer volume and hastily jumped out.
Whoosh!
King Gul and Almond followed right after her.
Lemon pulled the cord and deployed her parachute, and sure enough, the parachutes opened one by one in the order they jumped.
Shwooooooo—
Someone descended at an incredibly fast speed, like being shot downward.
King Gul didn’t even register what that was.
‘What is that.’
He simply tilted his head in confusion.
Then Almond suddenly spoke.
“Correct! Parachute check.”
Parachute check?
What does that mean? The moment I thought that.
Boom!
[An ally has been eliminated.]
[Ground → Balloon Gum]
A message appeared.
“!?”
King Gul’s expression twisted more than ever before.
「When the survival match starts, what should you do while you’re in the plane?」
He remembered the quiz he had posed.
「Parachute check…?」
「Argh! Wrong!」
Back then, Almond’s correct answer had been parachute check.
‘Damn it.’
Almond was now proving it one by one.
That his answer wasn’t wrong either.
“Ugh, ugggggh!”
Boom!
[Ally has been defeated.]
[Goguma → Bontovi]
Followed by Bontovi’s double kill.
-Whoa
-Wow Kekekeke
-Goguma double kill Kekekekekeke
-The ending was insane Kekekeke
-That was the answer to the quiz from earlier Kekekekekeke
-Ah… Kekekekekekekeke
-???: You didn’t cherish your parachute…
-Ahahahahahahahahaha
On that day, King Gul recalled it once more.
‘Is this… the real deal?’
Beyond Bronze’s wall.
Something that wasn’t human existed there.

[Beginner’s Tip: Did you know? A low rank doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It just means you’re different. The seed is different.]
