The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 50
18. Schrödinger’s Almond (3)
A donation of one million won.
Once you exceed one million won, it’s nearly the highest level of donation by Almond’s standards.
BigHand had barely appeared before firing off such an amount twice in a row.
‘I can’t just let this slide.’
That’s Almond’s philosophy—when you receive that kind of money, you need to deliver something worthy of it.
I could just brush it off without a care, but thinking back to the million won I used to earn during my working days, there’s no way I can treat this lightly.
‘Let’s do it.’
So I decide to take on a bit more risk.
Even if I actually die here and have to restart the game.
“I’m going for the reaction.”
With that resolve, I aim my bow at the Class Representative.

* * *
-Class Rep… farewell.
-Are you hitting the Class Rep’s crown instead?
That’s too much lol
The viewers threw out their own theories as they watched Almond aim his bow at the Class Representative.
“Why… why are you doing this to me?”
The Class Representative protests, sounding wronged.
Rightfully so. He’s been helping me this whole time, and now I’m suddenly pulling off some strange trick with an arrow and trying to kill him.
However, I haven’t released the bowstring yet, and the words coming from my mouth have nothing to do with the Class Representative’s death.
“Bring Baek Jun-su here.”
Aiming the bow was simply to issue the command to bring Baek Jun-su.
“…me, me?”
“If I go, it’s dangerous.”
Hahahahaha
That’s crazy lol
-Almond-style command
-“born leader”
-23rd century leadership
He’s saying he can’t go fetch him directly because he’s paralyzed by fear. But there’s no way the Class Representative heard it that way.
“Me, me… ah, am I not in danger?”
“No. You’re in danger. You’re in danger right now.”
Twang.
I tighten the bowstring even more, as if I’d aimed it knowing this would happen, and answer.
Time was pressing, and I didn’t have time for this.
hahahahahaha
-fact) he’s the one who put himself in danger
-LMAOOOOOOO
-Is he insane lol
Class president ㅠㅠ
The Class Representative couldn’t say anything in response and immediately turned toward the infirmary.
“I, I don’t know how to call him out even if you tell me to….”
“Provoke him however you can.”
“Ah….”
The Class Representative suddenly shouted as if remembering something.
“Baek Jun-su!!! Come out! I’m Juhyeok Kim!!!”
Silence filled the hallway for a moment.
Hahaha, I suddenly became Kim Joo-hyuk.
-You, you also want to be Almond’s Manager when you grow up? Class Rep? Hehehehe….
Kim Joo-hyuk? lol
There was still no response from the infirmary.
Almond continued to aim at the back of the Class Representative’s head, while he trembled and desperately spat out increasingly provocative words.
“Bread delivery! Come out! You pathetic loser!”
lol
Bread delivery lol
Are you dead? lol
Knife wound delivery lol
-Is this demon summoning?
Thud.
A commotion began to erupt from inside the infirmary.
‘Will it work?’
Will this provocation actually work?
Will Baek Jun-su come out?
Creak….
Almond’s bowstring was drawn back to its fullest extent.
‘I’ll shoot immediately.’
His arrow was now aimed not at the Class Representative, but at the infirmary.

* * *
Inside the infirmary.
Even before the Class Representative provoked them, the infirmary was already in chaos.
“A, arrows!?”
“Insane. Arrows!?”
There was no way they didn’t know that three Sentries had died.
They simply hadn’t dared to act rashly.
To them, arrows were an object of terror.
After all, they were the weapon that had neutralized Baek Jun-su, the boss of this place, in a single stroke.
“G, g, grab that!”
“Right!”
The moment they heard about arrows, they pulled something out from a corner of the infirmary.
Shields made by detaching chair seats.
Though they were made of wood and not incredibly sturdy, they should be able to block arrows.
Just as they were securing the shields, they heard this voice.
“Hey! Baek Jun-su! Come out! It’s me, Juhyeok Kim!”
In an instant, the air turned cold as if ice water had been poured over everything.
“J, Juhyeok Kim?”
“Insane….”
Juhyeok Kim.
There wasn’t a single person among these children who didn’t know him.
Even children from other classes knew him.
The Bread Shuttle of Baek Jun-su’s class. A certified loser.
He was such a coward that he’d abandoned the school store and fled to the 2nd Floor, and he was utterly pathetic.
“That bastard… why is he still alive?”
Sohee Yun bolted upright from the bed, growling.
“Didn’t he go to the 2nd Floor?”
“I, I don’t know. He probably did go to the 2nd Floor?”
“Maybe that monster went somewhere else from the 2nd Floor?”
“Th, then the arrows are being shot by Juhyeok Kim…?”
The mysterious arrows that had been an object of terror.
They were coming from that loser Juhyeok Kim?
It was hard to believe.
“Everyone, shut your mouths.”
“!”
Baek Jun-su stood up.
He had a bright red bandage wrapped around one of his eyes.
“First, we need to find out if that’s really Juhyeok Kim out there.”
“…Y, you’re right. I’ve never heard Juhyeok Kim shout before, so I don’t know if that’s him.”
“Go check.”
“Me, go out…?”
“Yeah. How else would we know from here.”
As Baek Jun-su growled, the children nodded in fear and headed toward the door.
That’s when it happened.
“Bread delivery! Come out! Baek Jun-su, you pathetic loser!”
Juhyeok Kim’s voice rang out even more clearly.
“…?”
In an instant, the children looked toward Baek Jun-su.
The opponent was calling out their leader as a “pathetic loser.”
This was a challenge.
If he sent his subordinates to handle it from here, his already precarious position as leader would be completely taken from him.
But if Baek Jun-su went out, his safety would be at risk.
Sohee Yun stepped forward, glaring fiercely.
“What are you doing? I said go out! You want to die here?”
“Ah, no… just….”
The hesitant children reluctantly opened the infirmary door.
Creak.
But then, one thug stopped mid-motion and turned back.
“But….”
He spoke with a contemptible smirk on his face.
“He’s calling for Baek Jun-su. Why should we go out.”
“What. Hell? Is Jun-su his lackey? Does he have to go when he calls?”
Sohee Yun shot back as if she’d been waiting for this.
“First of all, without eye makeup, that glare isn’t scary at all.”
“…What?!”
Sohee Yun’s face contorted mercilessly.
“You little——”
——Crack!
Before Sohee Yun could do anything, the male student’s head who had talked back became a bloody mess.
His eyes that had been smirking wickedly rolled back, and he collapsed with his legs giving out.
“Tch. Always crawling up whenever there’s an opening. Now you’ve caused this mess.”
Baek Jun-su had smashed his head with a hammer.
The children trembled and retreated at the sight.
Glancing at the near-corpse of the defiant one, they swallowed hard.
“Shield. Hand it over.”
Baek Jun-su snatched the shield and roared.
“Juhyeoooooook!”
Crash!
The infirmary door was kicked down and collapsed.
“Yeah! Let’s taste some of that bread!”

* * *
-Trembling trembling trembling
-What audacity
-What? He’s fine!?
-Can this even work!?
-PTSD incoming….
“Juhyeok Kim nooooooo!”
Boom…!
The infirmary door burst open as if blown away.
It resembled the entrance of a boss monster.
Radiating an aura even more overwhelming than that.
“Let me taste some of that bread!”
A massive frame standing nearly six feet tall, with bloodied bandages wrapped around one eye—enough to make anyone tremble.
If their eyes met, it would surely trigger a [PANIC] state, and it wouldn’t be strange if the game ended right there.
However….
‘As expected.’
I couldn’t see my opponent’s face.
He had concealed his face and upper body behind a shield.
Since he’d lost an eye to an arrow, I figured he’d naturally be cautious about it.
My prediction was spot on.
‘Exactly like what appeared in Taco’s video.’
I had once seen NPCs equipping shields in one of Taco’s videos.
The difference was that there they blocked axes being thrown, while here they block arrows.
Otherwise identical.
Baek Jun-su had no choice but to be conscious of arrows, and he’d prepared a countermeasure.
However, that very countermeasure had become a strategy guide for me.
[Unease]
Currently, I felt only a faint sense of unease.
For someone facing Baek Jun-su, there was almost no emotional turbulence.
Part of it was due to the experience gained from defeating the boss monster.
But the biggest reason was that I couldn’t see his face.
“A… shield!? What’s that on his legs!? Juhyeok, let’s run. How are we supposed to….”
However, just as the Class Representative urgently suggested.
He’d covered his face and upper body with a shield. He was also wearing some kind of protective gear on his legs—it looked like it was made from cast materials from the infirmary.
It was questionable whether arrows could pierce through it.
“Uh, I’ll buy us time! Let’s go!”
I nocked an arrow to my lips and answered the Class Representative.
“Shh.”
“!?”
A shield raised, yet the arrow still finds its mark?
Armor that cannot be pierced?
Such concerns apply only to ordinary archers.
Twang.
I released the bowstring, drawn taut to its limit, without a moment’s hesitation.
Whoooosh—
The arrow flew.
It soared upward.
It climbed nearly to the ceiling of the corridor.
Then, suddenly, it plummeted downward with a sharp whistle.
As if gravity itself had intensified.
Thunk!
The sound of the arrow piercing flesh echoed through the air.
Baek Jun-su’s spear trembled.
His shield then slowly slid downward.
Now it became clear.
Where the arrow had struck.
“H-how is that possible…?”
The Class Representative’s voice quavered.
Well, he had just witnessed a divine technique with his own eyes—something beyond belief.
Thud!
As Baek Jun-su collapsed forward like a man performing a deep bow.
The arrow embedded in the crown of his head became visible.
It was lodged directly in the center of the circular topknot.
It looked exactly as if it had struck the perfect bullseye—the ten-point center of an archery target.
-Wooooooow!
The roar of the audience seemed to echo naturally in my ears.
Almond spoke through the microphone channel.
“Chicky-cha.”
This was his one-million-won reaction.

* * *
The moment Baek Jun-su collapsed.
-Wow
-That’s ── amazing
-This is what a donation reaction looks like lolololol
-Seriously insane
-Wait, is this really Almond who just got deposited…?
The chat erupted with reactions.
Most of them expressed satisfaction at completing their revenge against Baek Jun-su’s gang.
-But is this normally how you’re supposed to do it?
-This doesn’t seem right lolol
-Production Company in tears lololol
Of course, few people thought the method Almond used to subdue Baek Jun-su’s gang was normal.
While the game did have high degrees of freedom, the fact that raising a shield actually led to death was absurd.
For a final boss, it was an anticlimactic and ridiculous death.
-Baek Jun-su’s presence was intense though
-When Baek Jun-su screamed and appeared, I literally wanted to go to the bathroom
-But how did the arrow even hit?
The biggest contributor to that absurdity was the trajectory the arrow took.
Previously, Almond had also fired an arrow at a goblin boss who was holding a shield.
Rather than shooting in a straight line between the enemy and myself, I fired in a parabolic arc, dropping the arrow from high in the sky to kill it.
Unless one anticipated it beforehand and raised the shield skyward to block it, there was no way to avoid a pathetic death.
That boss monster had also fallen in a single strike without doing anything.
Most viewers had seen all of that, yet the reason they were bewildered by the current situation was simple.
The circumstances were different then and now.
That was outdoor combat. With no ceiling, no matter how high I shot, nothing obstructed the path midway.
This is indoors.
There’s a ceiling, and since it’s an old building, the ceiling height is relatively low.
Attempting to draw a parabolic arc in such a place and target the opponent’s crown was nonsensical.
Literally an impossible angle.
Yet Almond pulled it off.
-Isn’t this like a curve shot?
-It dropped like a forkball
-I thought it was a baseball bat, not an arrow
In simple terms, he fired a curve shot.
The only difference was that the curve was applied vertically rather than horizontally.
However, to the viewers’ eyes, that curve shot looked exactly like the arrow suddenly stopped and pierced downward.
It was already flying in a parabolic arc, and with the added curve on top of that, it made sense that it would appear that way.
-Is this within the realm of calculation??
-This must’ve had some luck involved too
-I thought it was a forkball
-I’ve seen this before on Ollytube lolol
-Does this actually work
A shot that seemed to transcend the realm of calculation—something closer to fortune or miracle.
Whether this was truly luck or mere chance, I couldn’t say.
The only verified fact was that Almond had pulled it off in a single attempt, no matter what.
Boom-ba-bam!
[BigSon has donated 200,000 won!]
[Amazing… that was a truly rewarding donation….]
It was such an outstanding performance that even the person who triggered this reaction felt satisfied.
-For real
-Facts
-Almond actually gave a proper reaction…
-Where does that suicide performance at the crown of the head go lolol
-We’re losing today
“Thank you, BigSon….”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
Almond paused mid-thanks.
A woman’s scream echoed from the direction of the infirmary.
As far as he knew, there was only one woman in Baek Jun-su’s group.
Sohee Yun.
“…It seems this isn’t over yet.”
Sohee Yun was one of those entities that could trigger [fear].
