The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 171
53. Royal Command (1)
Sanghyeon sometimes appears stubborn, but that’s not actually the case.
My life has been a continuous series of acceptance.
From childhood, I had to accept my parents’ sudden absence and poverty.
I simply tried to overcome it through archery.
When even that became impossible due to an unexpected accident, I had to accept that too.
Attending Aseng despite bearing the stigma of nepotism was merely an attempt to overcome and succeed within corporate society.
There were no other options.
Without accepting and acknowledging reality, I couldn’t move forward.
I poured everything into office work at a major corporation—something I’d never done before.
Does acceptance improve with practice?
I worked desperately hard, but I’d long since accepted that my abilities fell short compared to my colleagues.
So I readily accepted the layoff notice as well.
That’s why I could quickly find my next path.
The path of a streamer.
That’s how Almond was born.
So thinking Almond is stubborn would be very shortsighted.
I accept what needs to be accepted.
The same applied to the platform inter-league tournament.
‘The platform inter-league tournament will be a 25 versus 25 battle.’
This was actually a framework of thought that Paprika had created first.
When Cheese and other viewers first heard this, their reactions were like this.
-Those cowardly bastards
-What kind of mess are they trying to create lol
-Does that even make sense?
-They can’t even share experience with each other?
-Teaming up? That’s so cheap
They were trapped in the framework that teaming was cheap and shouldn’t be done.
But Almond quickly understood.
‘There’s no reason it can’t work.’
Some might say this was because my gaming career was short and I had little negative experience with teaming.
But in fact, Almond was also a famous streamer, so I was always a victim of teaming.
However, I had never thought of myself as a victim.
Whenever teaming happened, I actually enjoyed it as content material.
Grievance never solved anything anyway.
‘If Paprika’s going to do it that way, we need to respond accordingly.’
Even if the archer in the adjacent lane whistled, or hurled all sorts of jeers to disrupt my focus.
Shouting that it’s wrong, that it’s cheap—no one listened.
The target says nothing.
He simply stands there, always in that same spot.
Waiting to be hit.
There’s only one way to communicate with that thug.
Draw the bowstring and fire an arrow.
Plant it right in the center.
Thwang!
[Foolish Youth → Kim Mari]
Then the entire world erupts in excitement.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa…!!”

* * *
“The Foolish Youth! Another kill added to the tally! They’re completely dominating!!”
“Paprika! Can they do this!? Can they mount a counterattack!?”
“They’ll try to counterattack, but…!”
Though Paprika’s two members had swiftly transformed into Rune Spirits, they weren’t entirely without the capacity to strike back.
Since two teams had merged together, they possessed at least the minimum strength to mount a counterattack.
The problem was that these two teams were separated with the Agricultural Cooperative positioned between them.
In other words, they were already outnumbered, and now they were divided on top of that.
“For Paprika to counterattack, they need to eliminate the Agricultural Cooperative blocking their path right now!”
“But! But! The Agricultural Cooperative is dodging so well!? King Gul! How is this happening? Why are these Misters so quick!?”
The Agricultural Cooperative understood Paprika’s psychology perfectly and concentrated all their focus solely on evasion.
-Lmao old guys
Those old guys lol
-Did the burst-fire training actually work?
Ugh, NH Bank…
-Agricultural Cooperative awakened?
“These Misters can’t possibly be quick! It’s simply that the information exchange speed is vastly different!”
“Ah…! You mentioned that earlier!?”
“Yes! People say life is about direction, not speed! The same applies to survival battles! Moving in the correct direction is far more important than raw speed! So there’s no disadvantage from lacking speed!”
Dotorimuk, leading the Agricultural Cooperative.
He was continuously receiving position briefings from Mosol of the Knight Order.
And Mosol was even marking out good escape routes for him.
The Observer inserted Mosol’s voice, seemingly wanting to emphasize this.
[Mosol: Escape this way]
[Mosol: Here! Here!]
[Mosol: If you get caught in a sandwich, it’s over! Even if you’re forced to fight, come toward us!]
-Crazy
-Wow, so detailed
Information warfare is crazy.
-Their skill level is just different lol
-Isn’t that an asymmetrical power balance?
Mosol is also a Challenger.
His judgment is quite excellent, though it gets overshadowed by his physical abilities.
So he was generally good at any game.
The only game he couldn’t play was the social game Survival Craft.
He’s good at everything else.
“So basically! Both teams are being commanded by people at Challenger level or above!”
“Ah…!”
With Mosol’s brains backing up Meongcheong, he could now distribute orders to every team.
Every team essentially had a Challenger’s intellect installed as their foundation.
Moreover, since Mosol was paired with Danmuji, he could now directly receive Danmuji’s orders.
[Danmuji: Gichan, we’ll tighten things up as we move upward. Moving northeast!]
[Mosol: Here. Southwest. Come here.]
The Agricultural Cooperative and Knight Order could now move like soldiers controlled by two Challengers.
“Dual Challenger core with Danmuji!!”
Boom!
Like King Gul jumping up excitedly and shouting.
Currently, Cheese had essentially been equipped with a dual Challenger core CPU.
The Analyst explains the reason for King Gul’s excitement.
“Right now, Balloon Gum and Chocosong peacefully farming over there are hearing this entire briefing too, aren’t they? That means Cheese knows the entire map situation even while hunting.”
“Ah, I see!?”
The Caster barely finishes answering before King Gul cuts in.
“So right now the Magical Girl…! Worried she might need help, she’s moving upward! Entering the Paprika territory…!”
Just as King Gul was about to describe the overall map situation, he suddenly jumped up again and shouted.
“Fireball!!”
-Startled me
hahahahahaha
-Fireball wtf
-Lolol
Boom!
The Fireball had struck the Brunch team led by Omelette.
It was Lemon’s magic.
[Lemon Double Kill!]
As Omelette’s team, whose health was already depleting, was being eliminated one by one.
Lemon’s magic landed perfectly at the end.
[Lemon → Sausage]
[Lemon → Bay]
Two of them burn and die at once.
[Jello: Let’s goooooo!]
[Mosol: Daegam, nice shot!]
[Hong-cha: Nice work, Gyu-ri!]
An excited voice came from the Cheese side.
-Hahahaha
All bachelors are rich guys lol
-My chest feels so light~
-Lemon’s staff accuracy is pretty good
-Kyaa
-Is this over?
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!? If this continues, the Brunch Team, which could be called the ‘head’ of Paprika’s Group B, has four dead!? Everyone except Omelette is dead!!”
The key to Paprika’s all-in strategy is the survival of the first-rate team.
The entire team’s victory or defeat depends on how well they survive and grow.
And they were crushed from the very start.
“No matter how many extra players they have! How smoothly! How gently they’re being pushed back!?”
The Caster was bewildered.
Looking at the Brunch Team’s specs, they shouldn’t be losing like this.
Yet they’re crumbling apart.
“Ah, that’s because! This is! This is what I wanted to explain! Why Paprika’s Fireball communication method is so dangerous!”
King Gul provided the answer.
“Suddenly!? King Gul!?”
“Yes! I had to explain it suddenly! Fireball is a completely broken technique in primitive warfare!? The staff itself plays an enormous role early on! But the cooldown is substantial! And using it as a signal flare means! Even for enemies who completely understand 25-person matches, it’s an extremely risky move!!”
“Ahhh!”
Until now, this weakness hadn’t been properly exposed.
Paprika had used it while calculating such situations to some degree, and Cheese’s Group A had such a low understanding of the 25-person system that it worked perfectly.
“Back then, just having 25 people move together was enough! You could just wait a bit and fire the Fireball! But now!? What about now!?”
“Ah~ Right! It won’t work now! Because the enemies also have considerable team organization!”
After the Caster’s summary, Red Glasses added a comment.
“In Group A, it was like an army with guns versus an army with swords. But in Group B, Cheese brought a submachine gun.”
-Hahahahahahahaha
lol at the organization’s sudden collapse ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Info) The scariest one there is the one with the bow
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Right
“What’s amazing is that Cheese created that submachine gun through feedback in just a few minutes. The fact that Group A and Group B have different strategies is truly shocking… and it seems Paprika didn’t anticipate this at all.”
His analysis was correct.
The Paprika players couldn’t grasp the situation at all.
“It wasn’t like this in Group A. That’s the only thought circling in their heads.”
The Group A match they witnessed is now becoming poison.
It only adds confusion to their minds.
So their minds went blank and they fled in panic.
“Ah, but! Player Omelette! Still, he’s escaping well! He’s the only one who survived!?”
The Caster highlights his own points of hope.
“Yes. Right now Omelette is trying his best to regroup with the others! Without a staff user, communication is difficult! But he’s finding his way quite well with his instincts! However…”

* * *
“Huff… Gasp…”
Omelette is running for his life with all his might.
“Huff… Gasp… Damn Rune Spirits! I, I’m going to save you all! Make Brunch Great Again!”
To make Brunch great once more.
Isn’t this basically just Make Brunch Again? lol
-Omelette just give up
-Brunch reconstruction project
What the hell, why are you laughing?
This isn’t an omelet ㅠㅠ It’s scrambled eggs ㅠㅠ
Have you ever had a great enemy? lol
Even the viewers mock him.
‘No. I can do this.’
A survival match is literally a survival match.
As long as I survive, there’s hope.
If I stay alive and go to the Sanctuary of Resurrection with help from another team, I can aim for a comeback once more.
But then─
Boom!
“!?”
He collided with something from an unexpected direction.
A massive shield blocked Omelette’s path.
[Doughnutz]
Another Cheese team.
“The mighty Doughnutz has arrived.”
Hahahahahahaha
“Since when have you been Taesan? lol”
Suddenly world-class ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol)
-???
What’s with the image making lol
I thought the cheese would ruin it, but if it’s a happy mandarin orange, that’s a total thumbs up lol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
Behind the shield stood two confident-looking men.
“Cr, crazy… Doughnutz!?”
Omelette couldn’t understand.
He understood he’d fallen into a trap.
But the source of the trap was different.
“I, I’m sure it was Motmotmot and the Knight Order alliance…”
As far as he knew, the trap he’d fallen into was one dug by Motmotmot and the Knight Order.
He had no idea the Agricultural Cooperative even existed.
“Wait, three teams fell here? That can’t be right.”
“Aha. You’ll have to figure that out yourself.”
The Agricultural Cooperative couldn’t possibly be here.
That would be far too costly.
‘How did they even block this place in the first place?’
Most importantly, there was no way they could have blocked his escape route so blatantly.
The system didn’t allow for that kind of coordination.
“What is this?! How are you here? Who told you to come here?!”
Omelette was an exceptional player, so he understood all the variables at play….
Which made this all the more incomprehensible to him.
Of course, Doughnutz had no intention of explaining.
“That is….”
He simply raised his shield and spoke.
“Royal orders!”
Crash.
[Enemy eliminated!]
[Doughnutz → Omelette]
Beep beep beep beep beep beep!
A shrill alarm pierced through, followed by a grim notification.
[Team Brunch out!]
In that instant, every member of the Paprika Team scattered across the minimap froze.
‘The first-place team…?’
‘What?’
‘Insane.’
‘They’re really out?’
It was the moment all their carefully laid plans crumbled to dust.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (laughter)
-&*@$&@($
-@*$((*@($(@(
I can’t translate this as it’s not a complete word or phrase. “-ㅈ망” appears to be a partial Korean text fragment that doesn’t form a meaningful expression on its own.
and
It’s a complete mess lol
The end.
-#**#*%(@#@
The Paprika Team’s chat exploded uncontrollably, flooded with messages revealing enemy positions and strategies.
Eventually, countless users were banned for it.
