The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 11
4. Surrender (2)
Devastation.
Was there a better word to describe Class 5 in its current state?
The shocking part was that all of this was the work of a single person.
“Ugh….”
“Ahhh….”
Countless students writhed on the ground, groaning in pain.
There were no deaths, technically.
‘But that was just mercy.’
Kim Mango understood that the opponent hadn’t refrained from killing because they didn’t know how or lacked the ability to do so.
They simply chose not to kill because taking lives still carried significant risk.
After all, there was no telling how the mental state of students who witnessed a murder would deteriorate.
More importantly, there was simply no need to kill anyone.
Class 5 would naturally be eliminated from the challenge as they devoted themselves to caring for the wounded.
In war, the wounded are more terrifying than the dead.
In other words, they were all as good as finished.
‘No. They’re worse off than that.’
Kim Mango finally raised both hands slowly.
“I surrender.”
It was complete defeat.
So thorough that I had no desire to challenge again.
“That was fun.”
-Quick surrender lol
-Take care~
-Yeah, goodbye-
With those words, he logged out.

* * *
“Ah~ Are you giving up the challenge now? Kim Mango?”
The Caster asks, seeming somewhat flustered.
“Just surrendering like this?”
Hisssss.
The capsules where the Class 5 Players had been opened one after another.
It meant they had completely exited the game.
“An incredibly swift decision!”
-As expected of a strategist lol
-Speed of light fr
-Honestly, just seeing Almond’s face should be enough to make you run away lol
“Class 1, which has been nearly annihilated in much the same way, still hasn’t given up on the game. But Class 5 is surrendering right away?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Isn’t this a rather unfortunate decision? Observer, what’s your take on this?”
“Actually, I understand! I wouldn’t want to play either!”
-lololol
-I didn’t want to play because it sucked! I thought lol
-Still, giving up midway is kinda lol
“Ah. Is that so? But all the students are still alive. Couldn’t they attempt a comeback?”
“No. Class 5 was actually winning that entire battle, you see?”
“They were.”
“Until suddenly some Nut Fan appeared.”
“Ah….”
-lol fr
-But what if a Dragon appeared? (physically)
-Nut Fan lol
“Yes! They had won the entire fight! Then suddenly one guy shows up saying ‘I’ve come to end this war’ and just completely finished it! Would you want to play again? If they meet again anyway, they’ll all be wiped out?”
“Ah~ So you’re saying the moment they encounter Almond, they’ll inevitably lose everything again?”
“Exactly! Just facing off like that causes this to happen! There’s no logic to it, right? No logic! There’s no way to prepare! That’s what I mean by feeling helpless!”
-lololol
-Natural disaster level
-That’s actually true lol
-Now that I think about it, it makes sense
“But they’re all still alive. Why couldn’t it work out?”
“Oh my! Caster! Almond didn’t spare them because he couldn’t kill them!”
“Ah….”
“Throughout the entire challenge, they’ve been healing the kids, treating their wounds, suffering through it all! That’s what ‘logging out’ means now!”
“Right. If we treat and care for all those children, then logging out… might actually be possible!?”
“If they even manage to log out, that’s fortunate. Most of them will probably fall into qi deviation from frustration!”
“The road ahead was nothing but thorns. But Class 1 is in the same situation, right?”
The broadcast camera pans across Class 1.
The curtains are completely shredded from making bandages, and every student looks utterly exhausted.
They haven’t eaten properly, and they haven’t slept properly either.
Some have even fallen ill from the stress, and as friends die one by one, depression sets in.
“As you can see, Class 1 encountered the monster Almond even before Class 5. That’s why they’ve ended up in this state faster than anyone else.”
“They might have had a better chance of winning the challenge if they’d faced twenty special zombies instead.”
-Hahahaha
-“(Survival game from Almond)”
-Lol what a disaster
“Anyway! What I want to say is! Class 1 is still sharpening their blades right now! Look at this perseverance! This is sportsmanship….”
“Wait, hold on.”
The camera shifts back to focus on Almond.
The commentator notices something odd.
Almond’s movement pattern is strange.
“Almond… is heading to the convenience store?”
“What? After reclaiming the bathroom, now the convenience store? Can he even go there?”
Almond was heading back toward the convenience store instead of the bathroom.
And he was bringing all his classmates with him.
“It’s still closed, right? I mean, wasn’t the whole reason this mess started because the convenience store door was locked?”
It wasn’t just closed—there’s a barricade blocking it from behind.
But—
“A way to remove that barricade… wait, what?!”
Thanks to the Observer, the commentators realize someone is behind the convenience store door and gasp in shock.
“We missed this?”

* * *
In front of the basement stairs leading to the convenience store.
“What? It’s closed. Again.”
“Why did you say to come here? I’m scared of this place.”
The students grumbled.
They had all followed along because Almond suggested coming here.
What greeted them was still nothing but a firmly shut door.
At this, Almond pointed to the bottom of the fire door.
“For now, eat this.”
Surprisingly, several pieces of bread and chocolate bars were scattered there!
“This is insane!”
The children’s eyes widened in disbelief.
They had been starving for two whole days. And suddenly bread and chocolate appeared on the floor?!
It made no sense.
There was definitely nothing here before.
“What? This? How is this possible?”
“I… I think I’ve seen this in the Bible. Food falling from the sky like…”
Daehyeok’s eyes went wild as he scrambled forward and grabbed the food.
“Is, is this real? Really… bread?”
He asked the question.
But he had already shoved it into his mouth.
What if it was fake bread?
“Damn it, you pig! We should get some too!”
“Crazy Daehyeok…”
The children, who hadn’t seen food for nearly two days, threw caution to the wind and rushed forward.
“Ah, hey! That’s mine!? Mine?! Did you all eat everything?!”
The chocolate bars that had been scattered vanished in an instant. Those who arrived late could only admire the packaging designs.
“Ah. This is too much!”
Just as someone was about to protest seriously.
Thunk.
“!”
More chocolate bars popped out from the broken door handle.
The fire door had suddenly become a snack vending machine.
Even in their hunger, the children froze at the absurdity.
“W, what? Who is it?”
“Isn’t this poisoned?”
Then came a familiar and irritating voice.
“Hey. Don’t make a fuss. Line up properly and take what you’re given.”
The children’s eyes widened.
“Crazy Gyeong-hun?”
“Is that really the Class Representative?”
“Seriously?”
-Class Rep lmaooo
-Whoa~ Who is this! Isn’t this the Class Rep with the line obsession?!
-Line villain
Was he the class president???ㅋㅋ
-Line obsession lololol
On the other side of this fire door, it was the Class Representative’s faction that had been fortified.
“Yeah. I’ll open it soon. Just wait while you eat that. Someone made this barricade like a crazy person….”
Creeeeak.
The sound of the barricade being moved echoes loudly.
Then Balloon Gum approaches and asks.
“Wait. If the Class Rep is here… does that mean Taco is here too?”
Balloon Gum approached Almond and asked in surprise.
“Yes.”
That was right.
The person who handed a chocolate bar to Almond when he was nearly collapsing was none other than Takoyaki.
“I was half-unconscious and collapsed on the basement stairs. He gave me chocolate and even a vitamin drink.”
“Wow. But how did he recognize your voice? You barely said anything.”
“Right?”
Almond found that strange too.
The only things I had said on these basement stairs were shouting to go up and groaning right before losing consciousness.
To recognize and distinguish that.
“Hey! We’re almost done! Opening it now!”
Could it be the Class Representative?
He did seem like a fairly intelligent character.
“U, uh we’re saved now….”
“Never thought I’d be happy to hear Gyeong-hun’s voice.”
“Phew. Thank goodness.”
Either way, the route to the convenience store had opened up.
The children feel relieved at the thought of being able to eat freely soon.
Creak… Thud!
The door opens with a loud bang, and familiar faces appear.
“Yo! We’ve been eating from the convenience store~!”
First was Takoyaki.
-Separated family reunion lol
-What??? Hyeon-a Jegal lololol
-Huh~
Behind her was a female college student with a lively expression.
“Wow! You guys made it!”
There was Hyeon-a Kim.
A character commonly known as the Convenience Store Sister.
“What do you think?! What do you think! I told you! I said I knew his voice!”
It seemed Hyeon-a Kim was the one who distinguished Streamer Almond’s voice, and she bounced around excitedly, insisting she’d been right all along.
-As expected of Hyeon-a Jegal
-She nailed it lol
-“Jegal Hyeon”
Wow, are you really the school store noona? ㅠㅠ
-Wow
-Jegal Hyeon handles the big jobs.
And this wasn’t even early access Hyeon-a. How on earth did she recognize Streamer Almond’s voice?
A student next to her asked.
“Um, how did you know? Do you know who Streamer Almond is?”
Hyeon-a answered as if it were an obvious question.
“Hey. Among all the XX chromosomes here, who doesn’t know Streamer Almond?”
“Ah… yes, of course?”
“Plus, I remember the breathing sounds of handsome guys.”
Hyeon-a snorted proudly, displaying tremendous confidence.
Either way, the conclusion came down to being handsome.
The chat would be flooded with curses again.
-The worst streamer Almond
-Damn it, you again!? Face ID!?
-Now it’s not even Face ID, it’s voice recognition??
-This bastard who plays games without Hodu but still pulls through… even his breathing sounds handsome…
I’m dying laughing, you’re so funny haha
In Streamer Almond’s eyes, another familiar face appeared besides Hyeon-a.
“Huh? Pizza Bread…”
Without thinking, I waved at him, calling him Pizza Bread.
He was none other than Suhyeon Park, the boy who ate pizza bread every single day.
“?”
Having XY chromosomes, Suhyeon had no way of knowing who Streamer Almond was, so he didn’t return the greeting.
Instead, he just took a step back with eyes that seemed to ask, “Do you know me?”
-Doesn’t work on guys lol
-Face ID performance is uncanny lol
-Can’t work on guys yet?
“Anyway. We’re all gathered like this now.”
Taco glanced around at the members of Class 3 and spoke.
I’m crying
-Finally Class 3 assemble
-How many people?
But what do we do when only 25 people are surviving ㅠㅠ
“Let me count the headcount…”
-The hair count is zero, sir.
Why are you counting heads ㅠㅠ
-T, Taco’s headcount? I’m getting tears…
While counting the numbers.
Taco scratched at the crown of his head, which should have been smooth.
“Huh? But who are those three?”
The ones he pointed out were three people dragged along like prisoners bound in ropes.
Jinhyeok Kim, Sangho Lee, and Jiyeon Park.
“Ah… they’re people written on the hit list.”
“A hit list?”
“Yeah. Something like that exists. Taco.”
“Hmm… yes. Understood. We can use them as human shields later if needed.”
Human shield lol
-That’s too much lol
-This is an apocalypse!
“Alright, we’ve finished organizing everyone. Everyone to the convenience store!”
“Waaaaaaa!”
The children ran to the convenience store like relay racers.
“Wow. It feels like I’m watching lunch time after a long while.”
Hyeon-a muttered forlornly, watching their retreating figures.
The 3rd Class students began stuffing food into their mouths as if they were determined to burst their bellies.

* * *
