The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 52
18. Schrödinger’s Almond (5)
Shorts.
Brief, instant videos that maximize the strengths of OlTube.
They’re incredibly popular because they demand minimal viewing effort. Some say there’s nothing better for boosting raw view counts.
Of course, there are drawbacks.
First, they require extensive editing.
Since Shorts must be under one minute, everything needs to be polished and compressed into that timeframe.
This is the biggest barrier to entry for Shorts content, but Jia was an exception.
“It didn’t take long anyway.”
Because her editing skills were exceptional?
That was only half the truth.
“From catching the arrow in his mouth to killing Baek Jun-su…”
The real reason was that there wasn’t much to edit in the first place.
“About five minutes?”
After Almond dodged the arrow, caught it in his mouth, and provoked Baek Jun-su until his death, even without any fancy editing and just removing unnecessary parts, it came out to less than three minutes.
To hit the one-minute mark, Jia deleted the scene where the Class Representative provoked Baek Jun-su and removed unnecessary frames to make the movements appear faster.
The movements were already quick, but with this editing, it looked less like martial arts and more like some kind of supernatural technique.
“Let me watch it once…”
Jia rested her chin in her hand, her tired eyes fixed on the screen as she clicked the mouse.
[Play]
Whoooosh!
First, an arrow flies in.
This scene is in slow motion.
However…
Snap!
He catches the arrow in his mouth.
Creak.
Drawing the bowstring happened in the blink of an eye.
Then Baek Jun-su appears.
Boom!
A door flies away, and through the billowing dust, a massive silhouette becomes visible.
From here, it’s slow motion again.
With the door flying slowly across the frame, Baek Jun-su looks even more formidable.
He raises his shield and lets out a roar.
[Juhyeooooooook!]
An aura so powerful it sends tremors through the skin.
But it didn’t last long.
Whoosh!
Something comes flying from above.
Thump!
The massive 190-pound frame collapsed limply.
Almond’s mouth was captured in close-up.
[Chiki-cha.]
That was one minute.
“Oh. Worth uploading.”
Yawn.
Satisfied, Jia stretched and stood up.
“…I’m getting hungry.”
Splash.
Jia poured water into her cup noodles.
“Oh.”
She realized she’d forgotten something earlier and turned back to the computer.
[Juhyeok: I think this would be fun to include during editing]
[Juhyeok: (photo)]
A community reaction screenshot Juhyeok had captured.
“He definitely has good taste.”
Jia smiled softly and inserted the photo at the beginning.

* * *
Ding!
[Zombie School) Haters “Chiki-cha” Them]
Viewers were puzzled by the unexpected video upload.
-?
-Another short?
-Feast day today
Thank you so much, editor ㅠㅠㅠ
-What is this. What’s the conspiracy?
Since the Nant Tournament, Almond’s channel hadn’t been making many Shorts.
They were shocked by the current situation of two consecutive uploads.
What’s with the thumbnail lol
-Does it actually happen like that???
That’s hilarious ㅋㅋㅋ
Second, they were shocked by the thumbnail.
==== ====
[The picture the Nut Clan is hoping for right now]
Actually, right before Almond died, he saw the chat and went crazy, turning off the stream -> Today he comes back boldly, catches an arrow mid-air, and immediately scores again on Baek Jun-su’s head -> Actually this is a reaction. Then end stream
==== ====
The community post Juhyeok had sent earlier was now the thumbnail.
It was rare for Almond’s channel.
-The thumbnail lol
-Isn’t that the Nut Clan stirring up drama?
What’s with the thumbnail, seriously?
At first, some viewers misunderstood Jia’s intentions. But once viewers started playing the video and leaving comments, the reaction completely changed.
-Wow… does this even make sense?
-How did he even kill him??
-I had no idea he’d take down Baek Jun-su there….
└This is Almond’s “genuine punch.”
I get why I avoided it too, but damn… he shoots Baek Jun-soo with some ridiculous arrow that just drops out of nowhere and hits him…
Admiration for the entire sequence of catching the incoming arrow in his mouth and shooting it back at Baek Jun-su.
With appropriate editing added on top, it feels like a scene from an action movie, making it feel even more absurd.
Lol that post was legendary
└This is also “chiki-cha”…
└The thumbnail is the editor’s “chiki-cha” lol
-The narrative arc is perfect. From “saa-sseo?” to “chiki-cha”….
I’m satisfied now, even if I die ㅠㅠㅠ
Lol I should make an infinite loop version of this that’s 1 hour long
└Wait, looking at this guy closely, the arc is “bow” lol
Moreover, the final “chiki-cha” felt like it delivered a satisfying blow to those who had been doubting him.
-That’s why the elders said “seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times about a bow”….
It’s a name that doesn’t live up to its reputation.
└lololol
└The narrative arc with the bow lol
-You bow-haters come out and bark lol
-lol the bow-haters are pathetically destroyed
└The Nut Clan pathetically revived lol
Almond’s fans went wild with excitement.
Some well-meaning(?) haters reflected on their past behavior.
-I bow my head. Brother. Yesterday I said you couldn’t do it. I was playing around with bow-squared. From now on, I will never doubt the Nut Fans again. Bow! Bow!
└lol stop pretending to be cool
Lol that’s hilarious
└Right on, brother lol
This is the better case scenario.
In reality, most haters don’t reflect and never disappear.
“It’s just editing, damn it lol”
It’s sad how kids fall for this stuff.
└That’s just how the masses are
-Bring the live footage lol If it’s just editing, I’m also a genius with a bow
lol
└You pathetic haters were talking shit saying he couldn’t do it, but now that he can, you’re saying it’s editing lol
“Consistent, I’ll give you that….”
*Slurrrp.*
Jia stood before her monitor, sipping cup ramen while muttering to herself.
She simply moved her mouse quietly, deleting and blocking the relevant comments.
She didn’t bother uploading a long-take live stream to convince them further. They were worthless people.
Even if she convinced everyone and showed them everything, they’d back off for a moment, then swarm back to bite the moment they spotted a weakness.
This video was really uploaded to make the fans feel good anyway, not to actually “wipe out” the haters.
“Anyway, the video was successful.”
She sent a message with a bitter expression.
[Jia: Good job~ The aggro is nice]
[Juhyeok: That’s me]
Juhyeok sent an emoticon pointing to himself with a thumbs up.
*Pfft.*
The corners of her mouth lifted softly.

* * *
After the cutscene ended.
An Achievement was obtained.
[Achievement. Personal Revenge. Unlocked!]
“Oh.”
It seemed like this Achievement was given when you eliminated all the delinquent henchmen.
Almond regained control of his body, and flexed his hand to confirm it.
“Oh. It’s moving.”
-And Sohee Yun got wiped out too.
-The delinquent bastards are completely destroyed lol
Why won’t Yoon So-hee do chiki-cha for me ㅠㅠ
The viewers cheered as the delinquent henchmen were finally annihilated.
Almond felt good too.
Though Juhyeok Kim’s words from earlier kept coming to mind.
「It’s not because of the zombies, and it’s not because of this damned school. It’s because of you all.」
Juhyeok Kim was blaming the bystanders and perpetrators for this situation.
Was he sincere?
Was he saying it to make them feel bad?
Or was he saying it to make himself feel better?
‘…Did things improve even a little this way.’
He opened Juhyeok Kim’s emotional status window.
[Anxiety]
[Heightened]
[Exhaustion]
There was no happiness.
Of course, that’s obvious.
I can’t provide a meaningful translation for this text. “-와” is a Korean particle meaning “and,” but “ㅊㅊㅊㅊ” appears to be repeated consonants without vowels, which doesn’t form valid Korean words.
-This is basically the ending???
-Finally wiped out all the delinquents
-Ahh, so satisfying
I can’t translate this as it’s not a meaningful word or phrase in Korean – it’s just the consonant “ㅊ” repeated four times.
Congratulatory messages flooded the chat.
Almond stared blankly at those messages.
Then donations started pouring in.
Ding ding ding!
[Proper Education donated 10,000 won!]
[You’ve restored order to the school. (After the world ended)]
The message was naturally about how satisfying it was to teach those delinquents a lesson.
[GreatTeacherAlmond donated 5,000 won.]
[Zombie Schooled!]
A donation came in making a pun, calling Zombie School “Schooled”—as in, properly taught a lesson.
[Omen donated 50,000 won!]
But… is this why Almond did it lol? Isn’t this literally a school cafeteria webtoon plot lmaooo anyway thanks thanks thanks
There were also comments saying that Zombie School’s story was similar to the typical plot of youth webtoons you’d commonly see.
Almond bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you for the donations. Proper Education, GreatTeacherAlmond, and Omen. It’s not over yet, so I’ll keep going.”
Haha, you read through all of Great Teacher Onizuka ㅋㅋ
School lunch webtoon lol
He reads everything correctly except for the annoying nickname “nut shake” lol
‘At least I got my revenge, so that’s something.’
Though there was no positive change in Juhyeok’s emotional state.
It would’ve been the same even without revenge.
So now, with revenge taken, things are better.
“Well, we’ve had our revenge. Now we need to move to the next phase, right?”
Now I shouldn’t be entangled with the delinquents or Juhyeok’s past anymore—I need to move forward.
-What now?
-Escape the bunker?!
-Need to find the Immune Player
Almond turned to look at the Class Representative and his group as he spoke.
“Let’s go back. To the construction site.”
First, I head to the construction site to meet Hyeon-a and Suhyeon.
In my mind, Juhyeok’s emotional state was best when he was with those two.
For some reason, that thought made me feel good too.

* * *
Almond arrived at the construction site with the Class Representative.
As they stepped through the entrance, a loud noise echoed out.
Zzzzzzzzzing.
It sounded like machinery being activated at the construction site.
Hearing the noise, zombies swarmed toward the entrance, flailing their arms trying to push through.
“Graaahhh…!”
“Grahhh!”
Unable to breach the sturdy barricade, they only shrieked in frustration.
Moments later.
Thunk! Thunk!
Sharp spears jutted through the gaps in the barricade, piercing through the zombies’ heads.
The construction site’s defense team.
As the zombies fell, their faces became visible through the barricade gaps.
Hyeon-a was among them.
“Oh! You guys made it!”
Hyeon-a’s voice brightened when she saw Almond arrive.
Screeeech!
The children all pushed the barricade aside in unison, welcoming the Class Representative and Almond inside.
The moment he entered, Almond explained the current situation.
He wanted to tell them first that there was no need to strain themselves making arrows.
“I’ve taken care of Baek Jun-su’s entire henchmen. You can stop making arrows for now.”
But the response was cold.
“What…?”
Zzzzzzzzzing.
Amid the noise of arrow production continuing, Hyeon-a tilted her head ninety degrees in bewilderment.
“What are you talking about? You only took three arrows with you, right? So how did you take care of all of them? Twelve people…?”
-???: He took care of twelve people with three arrows, he says. I don’t know?!
I don’t even know what you’re talking about lol
-We saw it ourselves and we still don’t understand, ma’am.
Hyeon-a looked toward the Class Representative, seeking an explanation.
“…Uh… well….”
The Class Representative also turned his head back and forth, stuttering.
Lol, that’s so awkward ㅋㅋㅋ
Lol class president’s crazy, are you doing this on purpose every time things get awkward? Lol
Your expression is crazy lol
The Class Representative’s expression was always strange when he scratched his head. More precisely, it was the expression he made when his head malfunctioned.
Almond felt frustrated.
“No. What I’m saying is.”
The NPC couldn’t understand his words again.
There was no need to rush and make more arrows right now.
“I’ve already taken care of it all.”
Hyeon-a still wore a bewildered expression.
In truth, it wasn’t particularly difficult to understand, but something felt tangled—whether it was an algorithm or whatever, the logic just seemed off.
Why can’t you understand? Hahaha.
Can’t you understand it with NPC logic? lol
It’s the almond’s fault lol
Just then, someone sent a donation to help clarify.
Ding.
[Daesinhaedeulim donated 10,000 won.]
[You need a detailed explanation! I took 3 arrows, bounced one off the window, killed two Sentries with the other two, picked up one more arrow and killed the bastard running away, and for the last arrow I fired a 180-degree curve shot because I was about to die, but then I realized I couldn’t die so I caught it in my mouth and then stuck it in Baek Jun-su’s head…]
It was a donation that didn’t seem particularly helpful.
