The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 119
37. The Shorts Format (1)
The Knight Order members watched this unfold.
“That’s insane strategy…”
They were amazed by the operation that Lemon, who came from a Sniper background, had proposed.
-Kekekekekegoodsna kekekeke
-You really understand malicious snipers well
-There’s an addon for this lol
-Ah, so that’s how you snipe???
When you use the snipe app ‘Goodsna’, it only shows when the target enters the lobby and when the game is found.
It doesn’t show who they’re with.
Lemon exploited that loophole by positioning Balloon Gum in the back.
“She completely understands even the psychology of snipers… that Gyu-ri…”
Hong-cha mutters in disbelief.
-Kekekekekekekekekekeke
-Hong-cha came from a sniper background lol
-Brings back old memories lol
-For real lol
Snipers’ purpose is to meet the Streamer.
It’s not to win the game.
So if Balloon Gum isn’t there, they’ll leave.
This prediction was incredibly accurate.
Rather than preparing for battle the moment they saw the enemies, they prepared to flee first.
“Wow, what cowards.”
“Sigh. Those snipers are really annoying, you know~”
“Hey! Gobong! There are kind snipers like Gyu-ri too!”
“K-kind snipers? Where!?”
-Kekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekekind snipe lol
-There is something called Goodsna though
-For real lol
-Hong-cha’s arm is really bent lol
“You just called them cowards a moment ago!?”
Goguma shrugs his shoulders.
“Come on! I’m telling you there are! So what about Gyu-ri then!?”
“That’s more like a reformed character situation.”
“No, I’m saying she was originally kind!?”
“When you think about it, they’re all kind~”
-For real lol
-That’s right
-Everyone in prison has a story, they say.
-Kekekekekeke Goguma keke
-Goguma gets sniped a lot too keke
The viewers weren’t taking the Sniper’s side either.
At this, Hong-cha became a bit dejected.
“I just want to play together… there are people like that, you know…”
“…?”
Once Hong-cha lost confidence, Goguma didn’t criticize further.
“Well… yeah, there could be people like that. Like, like Gyu-ri.”
“Right! Ahahaha! So you admit it too!? Huh!?”
Hong-cha suddenly came alive, slapping my back repeatedly.
“…?”
It had been an act.
“There are good Snipers too! Goguma admitted it~!”
hahahaha
-Hong-cha… that’s pathetic…
-How great is Lemon anyway
hahahaha lol
Gyuri is a good person though ㅠ
“Canceling again~”
“There’s no such thing! Cancel the cancellation~!”
“How do you cancel a cancellation?”
While they debated about the inherent goodness of Snipers.
One person remained silent.
Danmuji.
Whether Lemon was a former Sniper or not.
That wasn’t what mattered to me right now.
My eyes saw something else.
‘He’s listening to his teammates’ opinions. Even Gyu-ri’s.’
This was King Gul’s way of coordinating opinions.
‘Did he change strategy because he felt structural limitations, not because he needed to establish a new one?’
Just moments ago, I felt King Gul had recognized the need to establish a new strategy and changed everything.
But watching him accept Lemon’s opinion, I realized.
‘He was actually accepting Almond’s opinion all along, wasn’t he?’
The very thing Danmuji would have absolutely denied.
Accepting Almond’s opinion.
King Gul was doing that right now.
‘No.’
No.
It wasn’t just Almond.
‘In essence, I’m accommodating the opinions of virtually every teammate.’
King Gul was bringing out the strengths of his team members.
‘Come to think of it, I did listen to Balloon Gum’s opinion too.’
When Balloon Gum had suggested Reina.
I pretended otherwise, but I heard him out completely.
However, it was discarded because it paled in comparison to the plan I had devised myself.
I didn’t explain that to him one by one, but in King Gul’s mind, I was weighing multiple opinions against each other on a scale.
My own strategy was also placed on that scale.
‘How does he do that?’
This is absolutely not easy.
‘It’s not simply accepting calls.’
I accept all the reports—who’s where, who went to the bottom, and so on.
That’s the basics.
That’s ‘reporting’-type communication.
But what King Gul is doing now is practically ‘debate’.
Real-time debate.
In a survival battle where every second counts.
‘How sharp is his mind?’
Though he retired after encountering Jeon-ja-pa, that natural disaster.
He lived up to the title of ‘the Great Jungler’ until then.
Come to think of it, the public’s assessment that he got beaten by Jeon-ja-pa every time was actually funny.
‘You can’t get beaten every time you meet unless you’re exceptionally skilled.’
You have to at least reach the semifinals to face Jeon-ja-pa on an important stage.
The title of being beaten by him every time was actually proof of his skill when you flip it around.
Realizing that again, Danmuji concentrated.
‘Let’s see how this unfolds.’
I open my eyes wide.
Of course, his viewers had no idea.
Anyway, I open them wide.
The instinct of a professional, still alive in a corner of my heart, was speaking.
There’s something to learn here.
Not just for Almond, but for Danmuji himself too.

* * *
Kwaaaang!
I burst from the brush, greeting them with an attack—Almond.
“It’s me, Almond.”
-It’s me~! Almond!
-Kyaa
-It’s me~
Haha, seriously/damn it lol
Pungsna’s teammates murmur among themselves.
“What? He says he’s Almond?”
“Then should we go? This isn’t Balloon Gum’s team anyway.”
“I don’t know. For now… we need to be careful since we don’t know where we’re surrounded from.”
Sssssss…!
I sense movement between the bushes, but can’t pinpoint the exact location.
The only one visible right now is that guy claiming to be Almond.
“Graaahhh!”
Meanwhile, Red Turtle continues to rampage.
The Contractor who made a pact with ‘the Great Stone Colossus – Kutan’ is holding the line for now.
It’s certainly stable, probably because they built the Tank incarnation first.
Pungsna glances at Kutan’s health bar and asks.
“…You? Almond?”
I haven’t forgotten Almond.
However, I don’t know exactly what Almond looks like.
Especially since the graphics rendering differs from game to game.
The Almond I saw in Battle Large with its photorealistic graphics was different from the Almond I saw in Ril.
“Yeah.”
I can only recognize him by his nickname.
[Foolish Youth]
As far as I knew, Almond’s nickname was ‘Reckless Warrior’.
“What the hell. It says ‘Foolish Youth’ right there.”
“…”
I can’t translate this as it’s not actual Korean text – it’s just consonant characters (ㅁㅊㅋ) repeated, which doesn’t form meaningful words or sentences.
-Ah…
Damn, haha
-Fool~ ish~
Hahahahahaha
Be grateful it’s not a complete mess.
“So that’s me? I’ve had plenty of popular community posts too…”
Pungsna had no particular interest outside of Balloon Gum’s broadcasts, so she didn’t know what incidents were happening in Almond’s channel.
“…I don’t do that kind of thing.”
“What even is almond soft serve~lololol”
Hahahahahahaha
Looks like this guy doesn’t do community stuff lol
Hahahaha lol hahaha
That’s crazy lolol
-Cool guy sniper who doesn’t use comms
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
-Oh…
I guess they can’t recognize me because it’s a face avatar lol
My teammates’ voices came through.
Crackle.
[Hey, he’s not on Balloon Gum’s team anyway. Let’s just go.]
An opinion to retreat.
[What? Shouldn’t we grab this?]
The turtle opinion—we should grab it.
[We’ve been getting beaten down. We’re not grabbing this?]
Kutan wanted to grab the Red Turtle.
Since we’d taken damage, it felt wasteful to leave it.
[What if we die doing that? You gonna snipe again!? We can’t even see the rest of them right now! Meeting up with Balloon Gum is what matters!]
[No way, the ADC is right there! Why are you scared? He’s only level three!]
[Hey! If that’s really Almond, then he’s with the Knight Order, right? That’s a seriously ace team. They’ll shred us if we meet them. And the ADC even showed himself on purpose! There’s definitely something fishy going on!]
Various opinions were exchanged.
Ultimately, Pungsna made the call.
‘What is this.’
Pungsna’s eyes wavered.
‘Just stay hidden in the brush…’
The standoff lasted longer than expected.
In a game like Ril, dozens of decisions come and go within a single second.
But right now we’ve been talking for over five seconds.
Five seconds is enough time to kill a fragile ADC twice over.
The ADC incarnate is contracted, yet coming out first to speak like this was strange.
‘Why would they do something so risky?’
Rustle…!
Right near Pungsna, the brush where King Gul was hiding trembled.
He carefully observed the opponent.
If a fight broke out, knowing the enemy’s specs would help him fight better.
‘The opponent has one contractor.’
The opponent had one contractor.
One level higher, but only by two.
It seemed they’d been doing a split push.
‘Did they split their forces to search for Balloon Gum?’
Two level 4s and three level 3s, it seemed.
That’s when it happened.
“So you’re here looking for Kkeom again, huh?”
Almond cut straight to the point.
“…?”
“Then just leave the Turtle and go.”
A direct threat.
He seemed to judge that there was no time to waste.
Whiiiing!
White light blazed at Almond’s fingertips.
“Want to die without even seeing Kkeom here? Get moving.”
Pungsna started to leave, then stopped.
“…How did you know?”
“Because it’s obvious you’re trying to snipe Kkeom.”
“No, I mean—how do you even know Balloon Gum is in this same game?”
“….”
-Gasp
-Oh no
-Scary
-Wow, this guy’s perception kkk
-We’re done kkk
-Hahakkkkkk
-Why’d you say that kkkk
-Insane Almond trollkkkk
-He can’t even spy properly…
“Ah—”
Almond just hummed it out like that, then made a finger gun and fired.
Boom!
Ran’s skill shot toward the enemies once more.
“!”
Whoosh!
Pungsna’s team scattered in multiple directions.
Ran’s bullet tore through the empty air.
Following the light, the brush collapsed on both sides.
-Scary
-Wow
-Insane
-Damn
-Physical prowess scary
At this moment, multiple judgments diverged.
“He dodged! Kill him!”
Pungsna’s team rushed in since one of Ran’s abilities had been used up.
At this point, they would think the opposing Contractor was just one person.
This was an opportunity.
But─
‘Wait? If this happens…!?’
To King Gul’s eyes, this was also an opportunity.
King Gul immediately drew in a sharp breath and shouted.
“Biiiiisaaaaaang!!!”
He initiated a teamfight.
That was King Gul’s judgment.
Moments later─
Kugugugugu…!
The sound of an Iron Ball rolling echoed from afar.
