The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 215
75. Ninja Mode (1)
Fantasia’s Battle Large new mode booth.
[Battle Large’s new mode! Ninja Mode! With stylish ninja action, flipping the framework of the existing battle royale~]
A recorded voice actor’s voice rang out loudly, and on the massive display screen, ninja battles unfolded ceaselessly.
-So you actually become a ninja?
-I’m going to become Hokage!
-Wow
Even a casual glance made it immediately clear what Ninja Mode was.
You literally became a ninja and engaged in a battle royale.
[Action spectacle fought only with cold weapons and ninja arts!]
Only the basic game progression and game engine were Battle Large. It was almost a different game entirely.
Stepping into the booth, ninjas stood against a dark background.
They were a kind of cosplay models.
Some were practical ninjas covered entirely in black, while others wore fantastical ninja costumes.
“Hello… Oh, big brother!”
One ninja with pink hair looked familiar. It was Miho.
“Huh? You were here.”
Miho, who was usually quite affable, suddenly turned red-faced and went silent.
Instead, the other ninjas spoke up.
“It’s Almond. Wow….”
“Oh. I heard you registered for the challenge. You really came.”
“Insane… He’s so handsome.”
The other cosplayers whispered and looked back and forth between Almond and Miho.
“Looks like you’re close with Miho.”
“But why is she suddenly like that.”
Miho’s eyes darted around, searching for somewhere to hide.
“I, I just need to use the restroom for a moment. Hehe… Big brother, sweep through all the challenges!”
Whoosh.
She disappeared just like a true ninja.
“What’s with her?”
Juhyeok, standing behind, scratched his head and answered.
“Hmm… Is it because of the outfit?”
Sanghyeon blankly looked around at the other ninjas.
Well, cosplay could be embarrassing if you thought about it.
Everyone was doing it anyway, and Miho was originally a model.
“Could it be? We even did a swimsuit party photoshoot together.”
“That was in Disworld though.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
Right. Now that I think about it, this was the first time I’d seen her wearing such an unusual outfit in person.
“Anyway, why is it so empty here? Did they just open?”
Juhyeok muttered as he looked around the Battle Large booth.
Battle Large was one of the most popular games out there.
Apart from the costumed models, there weren’t any people yet.
“You’re here for the challenge! And you’re the first to arrive!?”
As Miho left, other Ninjas swarmed over.
“This way! You just need to use one of these capsules over here….”
They grinned widely and pointed to capsule number one.
“That one’s probably the best! The performance is the same, but….”
“The additional features are a bit different. The air conditioning works the best.”
“Oh my. How lucky! You arrived first! You sweat a lot, you know.”
I wasn’t sure how they knew I sweated heavily, but one of them even handed me a white towel from the side.
“Ah… Yes. Thank you.”
I subtly changed direction toward capsule number one.
“Let me show you the way.”
“You’ll trip going in there.”
The Ninjas followed me as if I were some frail invalid, insisting on supporting my arm.
Behind them, cameraman Bontovi muttered with an envious expression.
“Wow… man… so jealous….”
-Lolololol
-Whose voice is that in the back?
-Lol reality check voice lol
Since I had to enter the capsule soon, the broadcast switched from my GoPro to Bontovi’s camera, so his voice went straight into the stream.
Perhaps because his voice sounded so pitiful?
Ding ding ding!
[Rubisword has donated 100,000 won!]
[Hang in there.]
Rubisword sent an encouraging donation.
-Lolololol
-This makes it worse lol
You’re killing me twice over, Princess Ruby.
If Ruby pulls through, then she’ll pull through, you bastards.
With Shy Yeopo’s mission and Rubisword’s donation, the broadcast’s donation floodgates opened, and donations started pouring in one after another.
[Baera31 Belonging Feeling donated 10,000 won.]
[Wow finally Battle Large?! Honestly, I think it’s more unfair than Kingdom lol]
-For real lol
Kingdom is a trash game, why are you comparing it to that? The fact that they don’t give battle passes is really unfair ㅡㅡ
-I agree
-That username lol
-My heart feels so relieved~!
[Man Living in the Past donated 10,000 won.]
[I remember when you pacified the entire armory with just one knife]
-When was that…
That nick is crazy lol
Most of the donations were related to Battle Large.
But there was a familiar face among them.
[Jansen donated 3,000 won.]
[He’s the real deal, raise it up]
That’s real, bring it up ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Why are you the one saying that lol
Battle Rage max output is crazy
Johnson’s left side is crazy.
-Didn’t Jansen go to G-Star today? Looks like he’s slacking off
[Holyshet donated 1,000 won.]
[Oh… Battle Large, the legendary player who was the only one to match Almond evenly—G&S?!]
wooden stake
I can’t provide a reliable translation of this line. It appears to contain informal Korean slang, internet language, and possibly misspelled or unclear words that don’t form coherent meaning even in Korean.
-Wow! You know Jansen?!
As the chat began to heat up, Juhyeok stepped in front of the camera.
“Alright everyone. Please refrain from mentioning nicknames.”
lol
-It’s Hodu
I thought he was a bodyguard.
-Why is he so big??
-Wow…
-Actually, I’m a Hodu fan!
“Once the game starts, the camera will switch back to Almond. Then Almond will be able to see your donations too.”
-Understood
-ed
-Was that voice from earlier Hodu?
Hey Walnut, do you happen to have a girlfriend? lol
The viewers had mistaken Bontovi’s voice for Juhyeok’s.
“Oh, no. That wasn’t me. Ah… This works out perfectly actually.”
Juhyeok muttered to himself, then picked up the camera and pointed it at Bontovi.
-???
-What is this?
-Who is it?
-Huh?!
Some recognized him, while others didn’t.
“Ah… Hello, I’m Bontovi. The one who said ‘dog jealousy’… I didn’t know I was being broadcast, so I apologize for what I said.”
Bow.
He lowered his head as if accepting punishment.
-Lmao so jealous
-The way he just bows his head is so cute
Haha, so that’s what he said.
-Honestly though, I get it…
-Wait is that really Bontovi?
Juhyeok, who was holding the camera, explained why Bontovi had come.
“Since Bontovi also streams on Trilby, I thought it might be good for anyone interested to check it out. It’s fun. And thank you again for taking the time to help us today.”
“Oh, no, not at all… Wahaha!”
Bontovi received the camera back after that and busied himself filming the G-Star venue from various angles.
Though he didn’t show it outwardly, after Juhyeok promoted his broadcast, his face became noticeably brighter, and he seemed to work with much more energy.
Juhyeok watched Bontovi rushing around and thought to himself.
‘Still, he does work hard.’
Just as he had been at Civil Empire, he was the type to work himself to death on whatever task was given to him.
It was hard to say he worked well… but he was the kind of person any company would want to have around.
‘Huh? What am I thinking.’
Without realizing it, I was imagining starting my own company.
Though I still lacked the manager experience required for entertainment planning—a prerequisite for running an agency.
‘Let me focus on this. My part is important from here on out.’
With that thought, I began searching for the marketing table set up at one corner of the booth.
Despite it being quite dim, it didn’t take long to find.
“Juhyeok Kim?”
Because they had found me first.
They even knew my name exactly and seemed to have been waiting for me all along.
“?”
As I turned around, the man’s expression brightened and he offered his business card.
“Ah, hello! I’m Jungwon Park, Department Manager of the Battle Large Marketing Division at Fantasia.”
‘Fantasia… a Department Manager?’
The gaze I felt when entering wasn’t a mistake after all.
A Department Manager from Fantasia was walking around barefoot searching for me.
I knew exactly what incident had caused this.
‘Is the impact of Rilpro’s official comment really this significant?’
It was because of the incident where the official account had mentioned Almond.
[Pollis Korea Official: Great looks and skills both @Almond! Thanks to you, Sori sales hit record highs! Kyaa! Let’s definitely do this again next time!]
Since they didn’t just mention Almond but also subtly revealed record-breaking sales, the effect was tremendous.
That comment was now my greatest asset—a nuclear weapon.
“So… you are Juhyeok Kim, right? The appearance matches but….”
When I didn’t respond immediately, the Department Manager confirmed again.
“Ahem, ahem.”
Tension coiled through my shoulders.
“Yes. I am Juhyeok Kim, but…?”
Department Manager Park’s face broke into a broad smile—the expression of someone who’d finally found what he was looking for.
“Ah! There you are! Pleased to meet you. Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Department Manager Jungwon Park.”
“How did you find me?”
“I heard that Almond accepted the challenge, so I figured you’d be here somewhere. Would you have a moment to talk?”
Of course I would—I’d been looking for him too, after all.
But my pride surged skyward.
“Hmm. I’m actually in the middle of filming right now, so it’s a bit inconvenient.”
I gestured toward Bontovi behind me, who was capturing background footage.
“Ah. Well…”
Department Manager Park looked flustered.
‘What’s this? Does he have no intention of working with us at all? Just participating in the challenge?’
Park already knew that Almond primarily accepted major advertising deals.
He made another attempt to appeal to me.
“If you could perhaps leave this with your employee for just a moment, you’d be glad you did. This is something big.”
Something big, he said.
My lips twitched.
“Ahem!”
I suppressed the smile threatening to burst out with a cough, then asked back.
“I already have meetings lined up elsewhere. What ‘exactly’ are you trying to discuss?”
“Ah. Well…… I’m well aware that Almond hasn’t been playing Battle Large much recently.”
Before revealing what the big deal was, Department Manager Park began laying groundwork, circling around the topic.
“It’s a gun-based game after all, and it doesn’t really suit Almond. I understand that. But…”
So that’s what he thought?
That Almond avoided gun-based games because archery seemed weak in comparison?
That was certainly a novel perspective.
‘I just don’t play it.’
An interesting theory, but wrong.
The truth was simply that I didn’t play it.
It was my nature to avoid revisiting games from the past.
Regardless, I nodded along.
“Ah, well. It’s true that gun games feel a bit awkward for Almond.”
He’d handed me a convenient excuse on a silver platter, so I was simply using it.
“Aha. Yes, so here’s the thing—this new Ninja Mode won’t have those drawbacks. It focuses on melee combat with physical elements maximized. And the proposal is…… just a moment… would that be alright over there? It’s too difficult to discuss here.”
Department Manager Park gestured again, this time toward a table in the corner of the booth.
Given the partitions shielding it, that was clearly the marketing section.
I glanced at my watch.
“Hmm. Yes. Well. I suppose I have a moment.”
“Yes! Please, come this way!”
The Department Manager’s eyes lit up as he spun around and gestured to his employees.
Pfft.
Juhyeok followed along, pressing his lips together to stifle his laughter.

* * *
Meanwhile, in Fantasia’s competition arena where a total of sixty capsules were gathered.
Other streamers began trickling in one by one after learning about the challenge.
“I heard there’s a streamer challenge here?”
“Chicken for a hundred people to first place? Wow.”
“Chicken… challenge? Battle Large Ninja Mode. Oh… this is pretty good.”
Almond had arrived first after receiving the challenge invitation and was already inside a capsule.
But the others were only now learning about it.
[Please enter the capsules and wait.]
And so the streamers entered the capsules one by one, all of them buzzing with the thought of handing out a hundred chickens to their viewers.
Without having any idea who was in capsule number one.
“Ah. I’m going to treat you all to some serious chicken. Brothers. You trust my physical abilities, right? I’m Boigat, after all.”
“Battle Large isn’t just Ninja Mode—I beat it in Sick Mode too, so just wait. I’m telling you.”
“What~ What~ You all prepared something like this to give our subscribers chicken, didn’t you? Right?”
