The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 130
40. Noble (3)
Though King Gul’s image leaned heavily toward the Clown, he was undeniably Rilpro’s resident official analyst.
His influence in games, particularly in gaming tournaments, ranked among the highest tier.
The ripple effect of his words was equally significant.
However, power always came with responsibility.
Despite appearances, King Gul was cautious about statements that could spark controversy.
In other words, he avoided making definitive claims or carelessly mentioning things he didn’t fully understand.
So─
“I can say this with certainty. This isn’t fabricated.”
When someone like him spoke with such conviction, there had to be a reason.
-Scary
-Certain?
-Whoa
-There’s no way there’s evidence…
-???
The viewers were bewildered by such a definitive statement.
They knew his style—he was careful with his words.
It was strange for King Gul to make such a firm assertion about this situation where evidence or counter-evidence was difficult to present.
However, King Gul clearly had something that could be called evidence.
“When I went to give that lecture, you know? Does anyone remember Almond asking me several more questions off-stream after the broadcast ended?”
Specifically, the conversations between Almond and him behind the scenes after the stream suddenly cut during Ril’s special lecture.
That was clear evidence that he’d figured it out on his own…
There was a problem.
-?
-We only know the stream ended
-We turned it off so how would you know lol
-???: Raise your hand if you weren’t here~
-?
King Gul blinked.
“Oh, right. The stream was off?”
The fact that they’d talked with the stream off was the biggest blind spot.
-Lmao
-No alibi huh
-Total collapse lol
-But why does that even matter???
-What did he say in there;
This meant he could only rely on King Gul’s memory for his argument.
It couldn’t be helped.
As someone said, there was no way substantial evidence would remain from an incident like this, right?
“I’m not sure if you’ll believe me, but I’m putting everything on the line here. Back then, Almond really did come prepared with serious questions about strategy and… operational inquiries like that. A lot of them.”
-?
-For real?
-No way
-Huh?
-Whoa
-Hiding the effort of an idiot lol
King Gul dropped the crucial point here.
“And back then, there were over 10 questions about split operations. If I remember correctly.”
-No way
-Lol lol
-Whoa
-Damn
-Wow… I’m actually touched lol
I’m trying… with nuts shakes… ㅠ
-For real?
-So he’s not an idiot after all;
That was it.
Almond had already shown considerable interest in split operations as a management strategy, and about half of the questions he’d asked King Gul back then were about splits.
“That’s why he nailed it right away. Timing? I already taught him that, so he just got the test question exactly right. Me.”
Timing—one of the most crucial elements when defining split operations.
“When to scatter and when to regroup. This is what I’ve always emphasized in siege warfare, right? A team can’t always move separately. When it’s time to unite, you unite. That timing is the core of split operations.”
King Gul wrapped up his point.
“Anyway. Fake detector… what? Whether it’s counterfeit or genuine, good luck with that. I’ve clearly shared the conversation we had back then. You understand? It’s not fake. Absolutely not. And that’s not even Almond’s style anyway.”
King Gul’s statement became a clip.
And it spread across countless communities.
It was like distributing fire extinguishers to a fire zone.
Whenever questions arose about Almond and Choi Sa-rang, everyone pulled up King Gul’s statement.
Then typically about 60-70% would quiet down.
The problem was the 20-30% of malicious spirits.
They wouldn’t yield, instead bringing up the friendship between King Gul and Almond.
Big) But like lol he even got him as a commentator for the international tournament. King Gul wouldn’t shield him?
-For real lol
-Lots of people who’ve never worked in society don’t get it lol
-That’s what I’m saying lol
-What does King Gul prove? It’s just words lol
-These guys think Almond’s some massive power lol He was a nobody just 6 months ago.
└Isn’t that suspicious though?
└?
└Anyone who suddenly blows up has a reason. They must have backing lol
└Unknown
These guys are seriously crazy lol

Mixnuts office.
They all gathered together to watch a video.
It was a video of King Gul and Sanghyeon talking after the broadcast ended.
This video actually had no video file—only audio existed.
“We composited it separately. Take a look.”
Juhyeok had synced it with the behind-the-scenes footage he’d filmed from outside the window.
[I was a bit curious about split operations… I heard that’s what the experts do….]
[But how do you know when to split and then combine again?]
[Is there a 4-1 split too?]
Sanghyeon in the video was bombarding King Gul with countless questions about splits.
This was absolutely not the level of questioning from someone who’d simply heard “this is the correct answer” from someone.
He didn’t know much, but he was firing off questions like pruning branches—clearly wanting to dig deeper into something.
In other words, perfect evidence to refute the current situation.
“Wow.”
Clap, clap, clap….
Juhyeok found himself applauding involuntarily.
Originally, proving guilt is far easier than proving innocence.
That’s why the law’s foundation is the “presumption of innocence.”
Of course, it’s never upheld in reality.
Just because someone can’t prove their innocence doesn’t make them guilty.
So Almond’s innocence was in a case where evidence seemed utterly impossible to find.
“But we have it!”
Ahahaha!
Juhyeok laughs heartily.
Evidence that absolutely shouldn’t exist—but it does.
How satisfying could that be?
“Those evil bastards at Rilpro. They’ll never see this coming.”
Moreover, how panicked would those scoundrels at Rilpro become?
Because evidence of innocence that absolutely shouldn’t exist is right there in plain sight.
“Let’s organize the parts where counterarguments could come from here in advance. Like, this was dubbed in post-production…?”
Jia nods and explains.
“Yes. That gets refuted by the fact that the audio sync matches perfectly with the video footage the CEO filmed. Especially since the behind-the-scenes footage was already uploaded to OlTube.”
“What if they say the sync was matched anyway?”
“Hmm….”
Jia rolls her eyes.
“If they’re going to doubt that far… there’s no way….”
“Those guys are evil spirits! Team Leader Seojia. We need to properly exorcise them!”
“Ugh… well, I mean, I know, but…”
Juhyeok grabbed Jia and shook her.
Bontovi raised his hand.
“I have even more concrete evidence!”
“…Yes? What is it?”
“The camera captured the entire scene of me secretly listening to this audio.”
“Ah…! That time!”
Juhyeok finally remembered.
When he’d asked Bontovi how he knew the contents of the conversation between Almond and King Gul, Bontovi had said there was a separate internal studio recording audio…
Bang!
Juhyeok’s eyes gleamed as he slammed the desk.
“Hey, Bontovi. Let’s go seal those evil spirits right now.”
Snap!
Bontovi saluted sharply and shouted.
“Yes! The B in Bontovi isn’t for Bong-in, is it!?”
Well, it wasn’t.
But this time, Juhyeok let it slide.
“Right! Let’s go! Bontosatoru!”
“Domain expansion!”
Juhyeok and Bontovi burst into laughter together.
Jia quietly stepped back, creating distance between them.
‘What… what are they doing…’

“Again.”
Meanwhile, at the Knight Order.
They heard Coach’s cold response and practically fled back into the Abyss’s shadow.
Gobong scratched his head, looking flustered.
“Um… but, uh, does Coach hear us even when we’re talking?”
-Kekekekeke why
-trying to gossip? kkk
-Gobong…
-the worst ones always try to play politics~
“Oh, no! What gossip!? It’s not that, it’s just… something… I’m just worried we might not be able to speak freely…”
Gobong felt an inexplicable pressure.
A sense that even orders or conversations might get feedback.
Choi Sa-rang wasn’t the micromanaging type.
The Knight Order had simply become intimidated on their own.
“What? What were you going to say?”
Danmuji asked with a slight edge to his tone.
“Well, our split… we just came in without even discussing what we should do or anything…”
“…”
That was true.
They’d just rushed in like they were fleeing.
“Let’s open the sacred relic box first.”
Almond took the lead.
Every second counted the moment they entered the game.
Creak—
He opened the box.
Weapons emerged.
A solid combination.
There were weapons everyone wanted.
But as Almond stared at them, he spoke.
“What if we change the team composition for the split?”
Previously, they’d used a split with a tank and an ADC, then the remaining three. That was the standard approach.
This was the orthodox way.
Logically, shouldn’t a two-person team have one tank?
Yet Almond, who loved tanks more than anyone, suddenly said this.
“I think the two-person team should be ADC and Mage.”
-Huh?
-How do we hunt then kkk
-That’s basically saying we’re done for
-Eh?
-That’s overdoing it.
Everyone’s reaction isn’t great.
“The one who needs to grow the most should be the one splitting. Even in siege warfare.”
Almond had a point.
Regardless, if we proceed with the split, the two will level up the fastest.
It means they’ll grow stronger the quickest.
If you ask who on the team you’d want to level up the fastest, it’s naturally the ADC and the Mage.
“Uh…?”
Danmuji’s eyes widened. Of course, the viewers and Almond didn’t notice at all.
Anyway, his eyes opened wide, and the reason was because that statement hit the mark perfectly.
“…Well, that’s not bad?”
Grin.
Almond smiles.
It felt like Almond and Danmuji were finally on the same wavelength.
In other words, Almond was now capable of having game-related conversations.
“The essence of splitting is really just funneling levels anyway. It’s not a bad thing. If we make that our goal and find the right methods, we’ll be fine.”
It’s a strategy worth aiming for.
In other words, it’s something we should practice now.
“So Lemon and Hong-cha as the pair of two?”
If they have to split into two, it’s all about teamwork.
Lemon and Hong-cha separated.
In a pair, the role is called ‘Mage,’ but initially it’s essentially a supporting role.
“Sounds good~!”
“Oh, good.”
Lemon grabs his staff, and Hong-cha picks up his gun.
Almond took the bow, Goguma took the shield, and Danmuji picked up the spear.
“It’s Bong’s team versus Song’s team.”
Goguma says solemnly.
“Let’s show Bong’s power.”
“What? The weakest one talking.”
Hong-cha fires back, and they split into two groups.
-?
What if Yeenen actually splits up lol
Why are those two fighting? lol
-I wonder if it’ll work out this time…
