The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 9
3. Sandwich (3)
The atmosphere had been good until the moment Class 3 started running backward up the basement stairs.
“Class 3 breaking through from the basement right now! This is insane!? What is this!?”
“This is the power of organization! It’s ball possession soccer—the very thing Almond despises so much!”
Haha, seriously
How is this even considered a viewing share? lol
-Info) The ball here is Iron Ball (Balloon Gum). So lower possession rate is better.
The hope and singular determination that they could survive if they just passed through this section.
That densely concentrated energy transformed all of Class 3 into monsters in an instant.
But—
“Huh…!?”
“Oh, they’ve run into Class 5! And they… don’t seem friendly toward each other at all!?”
“Yes. It looks like a fight’s about to break out?”
“And Almond’s condition isn’t very good right now, is it?”
They collide head-on with Class 5.
Worse still, Almond’s physical condition was far from optimal.
“Combat-type characters must conserve their bodies without food. They have high metabolic rates, so even slight movement burns through calories quickly!”
Almond’s combat-type character burned through stamina far faster than the other children.
If food had been plentiful, it wouldn’t have mattered, but up to now, Class 3 had been starving.
“Wait, but right now… Balloon Gum is looking for an opportunity?”

* * *
“Are they seriously heading to the bathroom?”
“Ah….”
Class 5, having barely escaped the basement stairs, couldn’t hide their sense of deflation.
“Let’s just head up.”
We need to get out of these stairs at least. With that thought, we move forward.
But even that wasn’t permitted—a shadow blocked our path ahead.
Someone was standing at the stairwell entrance.
“Oh… who are you guys?”
Jinhyeok Kim, who serves as the leader of Class 5.
He wore a faint smirk.
Quick-witted as he was, Jinhyeok pointed backward with his thumb and asked.
“Were you trying to come in here?”
“W-we were originally there.”
Daehyeok spoke in a voice that didn’t match his bulky frame, almost squeaking.
“You were originally there?”
“Y-yes….”
“Then why did you leave? Did you want to go down to the basement?”
Jinhyeok widened his eyes, scrutinizing every detail.
“Were you trying to go to the convenience store?”
“….”
Wanting to go to the convenience store was a natural desire in this disaster, but for some reason, it was difficult to admit that to Jinhyeok.
“Looks like the basement is blocked?”
“…yeah.”
“So you’re heading back to the bathroom? After we personally cleared out all the zombies and rescued you?”
“…w-we killed a ton of them too, didn’t we? Can’t you see them over there?”
Jinhyeok rose slightly onto his toes, peering over Daehyeok’s shoulder.
Unfortunately, it was too dark—from the brighter side, he couldn’t see anything.
“Hmm. Fine, let’s say that’s true.”
“…what?”
“But we did save you, didn’t we?”
Jinhyeok continued regardless.
“You’d all be dead without us. At the end there, I mean.”
“….”
That was true.
It wouldn’t have been strange if you’d all been wiped out by the zombified Gitae Song.
“Right. I saw it all~”
Jiyeon Park, the sole female member of Balloon Gum’s kill list, stepped forward in agreement.
The girls from Class 5 flinched at her presence and retreated backward.
Meanwhile, Daehyeok actually stepped forward instead.
“Yeah. Thanks for saving us. But could you save us one more time? Let’s go to the bathroom together. We don’t want to die either.”
Daehyeok pushes past his embarrassment and makes the request. Class 3’s survival depends on it.
“Hmm….”
Jinhyeok Kim pretends to think it over, then readily agrees.
“Sure. We can just go in together. I can’t let you die.”
What’s he plotting?
He’s definitely not just letting us through without a catch. But since he says he’ll save us, let’s figure out his scheme later.
…With that thought, just as I’m about to step forward.
Thunk.
Jinhyeok Kim blocks the path with a mop handle.
“Friend. But….”
Jinhyeok Kim grins wickedly and asks.
“You guys weren’t bitten, were you?”
At this, the commentators sigh.
[Ah~ There it is? The murder threat skill? You guys weren’t bitten, were you!]
Hahahaha lol
I can’t be certain of a natural English translation for this text, as it appears to contain Korean characters mixed with what looks like internet slang or abbreviated forms that don’t form standard Korean words. Could you provide more context?
-Basically a death sentence
-We’re done…
[Yes. Right now they’re covered in blood with plenty of scratches, so it’s hard to refute. After all, it’s easy to prove you were bitten, but difficult to prove you weren’t?]
[We can’t strip them naked to check!]
Jinhyeok Kim and Class 5 never intended to let anyone from the basement stairs join them in the first place.
“What? No! If we were bitten, we’d have turned already!”
“The incubation period varies from person to person. That’s how viruses work—each one has its own latency period.”
Someone with a sharp tone interjects.
It’s Kim Mango from the back.
“Mango?”
“I’ll handle it. Jinhyeok.”
“…Sure, you’re good at talking your way through things anyway.”
Jinhyeok Kim shrugs and steps back.
Kim Mango looks down at Class 3 and speaks.
“Prove that you weren’t bitten. Otherwise, we’ll consider it an attack on us.”
‘What is he saying.’
I want to say something, but my exhausted character leaves me unable to speak.
[Starvation]
[Exhaustion]
My status abnormalities worsen by the moment.
Someone steps forward to ask on my behalf.
It’s Uijun with his aggressive expression.
“Are you telling us to strip?”
Kim Mango turned his gaze toward him and nodded.
“We have to do it this way. If we can prove it.”
“Strip everything?”
“Yeah. All of it.”
-Breaking News) Almond 18+ Photoshoot!
-I’m Team Kim Mango lol
If you’re flustered and trivia kin Miho, give it a thumbs up lol
Kim Mango continued his argument without the slightest change in expression, brazenly shameless.
“Compared to the risk of a zombie appearing inside the bathroom, stripping is nothing. Besides, those clothes need washing anyway since they’re filthy.”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but his intention was painfully obvious.
[This is about completely instilling the class hierarchy through nudity. If Class 3 complies with such an extreme demand from Class 5, they’ll naturally come to see themselves as inferior… that’s the psychological imprint.]
[Ah, I see?! This will completely tank Class 3’s morale to rock bottom?]
“I, I… don’t want to strip…”
“Me neither. How are we supposed to strip in front of you guys?! You pervert! Forget it! Let’s just go somewhere else on our own.”
The girls bristled first.
Yet Kim Mango answered without even a flicker in his eyes.
“We have girls too. They can inspect you.”
He lifted his wristwatch.
“If you waste more time here, we’re going inside and closing the door. We don’t know when zombies might show up again.”
“Really?”
Uijun spoke as he climbed the stairs.
“Then move. We’re heading to the classroom.”
“!”
The faces of the children behind him brightened.
“Hey. Now that I think about it, are all the zombies in this hallway dead?”
“Yeah. We were planning to go to the classroom anyway, right?”
Kim Mango hadn’t anticipated that they wanted to go to the classroom.
‘The classroom?’
He’d planned to pressure them with the infection screening to create justification, then use them as lackeys like Class 3’s kids… but.
“Move, I said?”
Kim Mango and Jinhyeok Kim didn’t budge from the stairs.
Kim Mango made his decision.
“No. You can’t go to the classroom.”
“What?”
“We can’t let infected people roam this main building. Submit to the inspection quietly.”
It was an even stronger pressure.
“This guy’s completely insane, isn’t he?!”
One of the girls who looked tough spewed curses.
“Hey. You just want to strip us, don’t you? You deranged bastard. What, you think you’re king or something?!”
“Hey! Watch your mouth!”
Jinhyeok Kim and his friends stepped forward, growling menacingly.
“There’s nothing strange about it.”
Kim Mango gestured calmly toward the back.
“Those guys over there were all checked too. They’re from Class 3, I heard.”
He was pointing at Balloon Gum.
Eek.
Balloon Gum’s face went pale with shock at being suddenly singled out while whispering the plan.
“By the way, what class are you guys from?”
“What class? You’re asking?”
If they found out we were from Class 3, Kim Mango might prepare a countermeasure.
Almond and Balloon Gum’s eyes met.
‘Now.’
They hadn’t exchanged words, but they shared the same thought.
The moment an oblivious student opened his mouth.
“We’re also from Class 3─”
A deafening roar drowned out his words.
“CLAAAAAASS 3!!!”
──Crash!
The bathroom door burst wide open, and Balloon Gum charged out with the children in perfect formation.
Balloon Gum lifted his desk top upward and shouted.
“NOW IS THE MOMENT!!!”
That’s right. This was the moment he and the students had been waiting for all along.
The perfect time for rebellion.
lol
A delightful rebellion lol
-Whoa Balloon Gum?!??
That’s crazy lol
And bubble gum for the first time, that’s cool lol
“UAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
A thunderous roar.
It was hard to believe it came from just nine children.
Class 3 from the basement stairs sensed the situation and rushed in.
“Yeah, damn it! Kill them!!!”
“These bastards tried to kill us too!”
“Damn them!”
It was quite difficult to make righteous NPCs show aggression toward people.
But he’d managed to boost their morale to this extent.
For the first time since the basement stairs, Almond’s expression brightened.
‘Gum hyung…!’
Balloon Gum had finally done it.
It was a deception he had orchestrated.
A deception born from enduring countless humiliations while maintaining bonds with Class 5, all while plotting this rebellion.
“Hyuaaaaaaah!!!”
Class 5 from the bathroom side charged forward with a thunderous battle cry, wielding mop handles and desks.
Crash!
Bang!
“What, what are these guys!?”
“Ugh!”
“Ah, ahhh!?”
The thugs from Class 3’s rear guard, caught off-guard, were sent flying.
The fact that Class 5 had mostly served as meat shields now worked in their favor instead.
There were simply too many people wielding desk tops as shields.
In a brawl like this, shields were supreme.
Of course, Class 3’s delinquents immediately counterattacked.
“You lackeys!”
But their eyes had already changed.
Though their words were harsh, their gaze trembled noticeably.
“Drop dead! School violence scum!”
Jihun Oh led the charge, crushing one of the delinquent thugs.
Splat!
“Ugh…!”
His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
Far too pathetic for someone who had been acting like royalty in the classroom.
Everyone realized it in that moment.
“When did the enemy delinquents matter! The world has changed, you bastards!”
What Balloon Gum was shouting now was the truth.
The children’s morale soared even higher.
“The glorious rebellion of the outcasts!”
“Player entrance~!”
“Damn, ten million viewer movie incoming!”
-CJ Avengers assemble lololol
-lmao lololol
-That player entrance lol
-Jihun Oh is so charming lolol
-Jihun Oh~~~ damn he’s good!
Class 5 ascending from the basement stairs also had their spirits soaring to the heavens.
“Us too! Us too, let’s go! Kill them all! You bastards!”
“Let’s goooooo!!!”
A pincer attack from both sides.
What they call having both flanks secured.
With such a small scale, they could achieve an enormous effect.
“What, what is this! The rear! Block the rear too!”
“Ugh!”
Block the front and the rear opens up, block the rear and the front opens up….
Class 5 descended into chaos. They had unwittingly become the filling in a sandwich.
‘This is bad.’
Kim Mango’s expression, usually so composed, wavered.
