The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 44
15. Union vs. Complement (2)
Sang-gi Oh.
The name of the senior who had been complimenting Balloon Gum’s appearance.
It was now an established fact that this man was connected to the mastermind.
“…S-Senior.”
Thump.
Balloon Gum collapsed to the floor.
Right after Almond’s blade had passed straight through him.
He had witnessed with his own eyes the senior’s personality being replaced.
-Hahahaha despair lol
-The only person who said he was handsome was actually a villain…
-Yikes
-The senior lol
-So basically no normal person thinks Balloon Gum is handsome!? Right!?
The senior was a puppet of the mastermind.
His role was to deceive and manipulate the children, stringing them along before delivering them to the mastermind.
Everything that came from his mouth would be lies.
It had all been meaningless words.
“….”
Balloon Gum clenched his fists.
‘Now that it’s come to this.’
He was determined to catch the mastermind and beat them senseless.
* * *
Blade attacks didn’t work.
After that, I tried throwing talismans, kicking with my feet—I attempted every conceivable method.
“Oops~ A sticky note got attached?”
“Hehe? Long legs, huh? Welcome to the modeling club~”
Sang-gi Oh, the mastermind’s puppet, simply repeated the same responses as if nothing had happened.
From a game perspective, I was completely blocked.
“It seems killing him isn’t an option.”
I had to admit it.
-You’re just realizing that now lol
-I thought he was gonna burn the building down lol
-Just give up already…
To reach the mastermind, I didn’t need to kill Sang-gi Oh—I needed to earn his approval.
‘But how?’
While pondering that, I was surveying my surroundings.
“Senior! I did well today, didn’t I?”
A female student approached Sang-gi Oh and asked him.
“Is it possible for me to meet with ‘that person’ as well?”
“Hmm. Let me think about that a bit more.”
“…Yes.”
She returned to her spot looking deflated and resumed her walking practice.
From that brief exchange, I reached a conclusion.
‘So I just need to be good at walking?’
Whether it was walking or anything else, I needed to excel at something within this modeling club to catch the Senior’s attention.
“I’ll focus on making a good impression for now.”
Ding.
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won!]
[But he tried to cut himself in half earlier… should we take him along?]
Hahahahahahaha
-For real
-He even attached talismans, set traps, and tried to stab with his elbow lol
-Doesn’t seem like it’ll work;
Just save and load, right? lol
“Isn’t that something we just pretend didn’t happen?”
I decided to think things my own way and focus on the walking practice for now.
Hahaha, who do you think you are to just pretend it never happened?
Let’s just pretend it never happened lol
It’s like it never happened that I cut it in half with a knife!?
-That’s just everyday life in the Nutspunk world.
The perpetrator’s perspective is creepy.
Practicing through the system was straightforward.
The Teacher explained things one by one when I asked.
“Oh? Walking? Of course.”
She welcomed the request and took her stance.
“First, I’ll teach you the foot movements~ okay?”
One, two.
One, two.
The Teacher placed her hands on her waist and crossed her feet.
“First, you need to get your foot placement just right. Then comes the gaze, waist movement, and how you’ll express your hands and all that.”
“Ah, yes.”
I nodded and looked down at my own feet.
“One, two… one, two….”
I moved according to what the Teacher taught. It seemed roughly similar.
Since the Teacher and I had different body types, the gait differed accordingly, but footprint markers appeared adjusted to match my frame.
I just needed to follow those.
“One, two… one, two….”
I swept back my blonde hair that was blocking my view and focused intently on my foot movements, determined to pass on the first try.
“Oh! Perfect! Perfect!”
Clap clap.
The Teacher applauded with satisfaction.
For now, stage one was cleared.
“Teach me too!”
Balloon Gum approached as well.
He had also set aside his lingering attachment to being “handsome” and decided to pursue the mastermind behind Sang-gi Oh. Determination gleamed in his eyes.
“Of course. Student Daeman Jeong.”
The Teacher turned to Balloon Gum and demonstrated the foot positioning.
Balloon Gum swayed his crimson hair as he moved his feet.
“Hut, two! Hut, two!”
Where’s the spring water source? Haha.
-Hut two lmao
-Did you come for diet boxing?
Whether it was Balloon Gum’s mistake or his physique, no matter what he did, he couldn’t pull off a model-like presence.
“Everyone. Still, wouldn’t this much count as passing?”
Balloon Gum didn’t mind much regardless. Remembering how the children had cheered when he first demonstrated the walk, the standards couldn’t possibly be that high.
-That’s true
-Probably would pass
-Yeah
The Teacher would probably applaud even this level of walking.
Clap!
“See? He’s clapping—”
“That won’t do!”
It wasn’t the sound of applause.
The Teacher had struck Balloon Gum’s calf with a cane.
“Huh?”
Hahaha what is this? Lol
-There was a cane?
That’s crazy lolololol
-Gasp hahahaha
“Y… yes!?”
Where did that cane suddenly come from? Balloon Gum was flustered.
Regardless, the Teacher’s benevolent smile from before had vanished.
He spoke sharply.
“Here! Right here is completely! So bad. Again. Again. Walk.”
Balloon Gum attempted the walk again in bewilderment.
Even if it weren’t Balloon Gum, few people could perform well immediately after such treatment.
Naturally, his feet began to tangle.
Clap!
“Again! Walking!”
Of course, that wasn’t something the Teacher found any easier to accept.
hahahahahahaha
lol that’s so funny haha
Wind Rush is crazy
-Why is this game only so harsh to Balloon Gum…
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
In truth, this game wasn’t harsh only to Balloon Gum.
Such harshness was the game’s original intention.
Almond simply hadn’t experienced it.
“Well then, the handsome Student next to you? You may proceed to the next stage. That was flawless.”
Hahahahahaha
-Wow
-Great difference
Class difference is crazy.
-Is this favoritism based on appearance or something?
It’s so different lol
Almond advanced to the next stage after walking. Now it wasn’t just about matching footsteps—he had to actually walk forward while maintaining proper posture.
‘Is this similar to what I did during the commercial shoot?’
Almond moved forward, recalling his experience from the advertisement filming.
Though honestly, given my nature, doing this kind of model walking felt embarrassing.
‘Here, here.’
By simply thinking of it as matching bars in a rhythm game, such self-consciousness didn’t arise.
It was more like playing a shape-matching game rather than doing model walking.
“Bravo!”
Clap clap clap.
The Teacher applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
The Children followed suit, standing and clapping while each offering their own remarks.
“That’s legendary!”
“Are you walking on clouds?!”
“A golden-haired angel has descended from the heavens!”
The AI’s praise system unleashed maximum accolades, generating all manner of extravagant compliments.
I can’t translate this as it’s not valid Korean text. These are individual consonant characters (ㅁ, ㅊ, ㅋ) without vowels, which don’t form meaningful words or expressions.
This worldview praise is actually spot on lol
It’s the complete opposite, for real.
-But only Almond is passing this, right??
Almond’s walking was flawless.
Almond subtly glanced toward Sang-gi Oh.
But he wasn’t looking at me.
Instead, he was watching Balloon Gum intently.
‘Hmm?’
Perhaps being skilled at walking wasn’t actually the criterion that caught Sang-gi Oh’s eye.

* * *
“Alright, let’s wrap up today’s lesson here!”
Class had ended.
Sang-gi Oh didn’t approach anyone.
“Daeman. You did well today too. Don’t lose your courage.”
He simply came over to Balloon Gum and patted his shoulder in consolation.
“This cunning bastard….”
However, Balloon Gum harbored such a deep sense of betrayal toward Sang-gi Oh that he only cursed him out to the viewers.
He didn’t particularly thank him.
Hahahahaha
-Gum’s resentment is rising
Hahaha that’s so funny lol
That’s creepy as hell.
Almond observed Sang-gi Oh’s reaction quite carefully.
‘This might be… different from what I thought.’
Now that I thought about it, that was true.
This structure that Sang-gi Oh and the mastermind currently possessed.
‘It feels like a cult.’
It definitely reeked of a cult.
If that were the case, then my approach was wrong.
Cults target those who have some wound in their hearts or who have fallen into a weakened state with a void within them.
It’s a cowardly tactic, but it’s also one that works well.
Someone skilled at walking, cheered by people, and capable of making the easy decision to cleave someone in two with a sword couldn’t possibly be their target.
Those who are marginalized in society, who are sensitive to others’ judgments and hate themselves, or who think they’re worthless.
These are the targets.
‘I almost fell for it.’
If I had continued working hard at walking like this, I would have become completely opposite to what Sang-gi Oh wanted.
‘Or is it already too late?’
I had already become somewhat like that.
Could I win Sang-gi Oh’s favor in this state?
Balloon Gum still hasn’t even received a proposal to meet.
“Everyone. It seems like to win Sang-gi Oh’s favor, you need to be bad at walking.”
-??
-Are you saying Balloon Gum can’t walk?
Haha, for real?
-How did you suddenly reach that conclusion;
-Is that so?
Almond explained his deduction.
Was it thanks to his successful deduction rate so far?
-Yeah
-Maybe so
-The deduction demon king lol
-Is it real?
The viewers were quite convinced as well.
The problem was how to actually execute it.
We have to compete by how poorly we can do what we’re given?
For Almond, it was truly the worst possible matchup.
Ding.
[Soryongpo donated 10,000 won!]
Bubble gum coin mooning~!ㅋㅋㅋ
-For real lol
-The one who fails wins? Call Balloon Gum right now!
-Lol there’s no one better at failing than Balloon Gum
-Almond doesn’t look like he’ll pass
At first, people thought only Almond would be chosen by Sang-gi Oh, and Balloon Gum would not.
But now it seemed the situation was reversed.
Rather, Almond was at a significant disadvantage.
“Huh? Really? The person who fails gets chosen?”
Balloon Gum also heard the news through the viewers.
“Wahaha! That’s amazing, right? So that’s why Sang-gi Oh told me… Wait?”
He was delighted, then realized this wasn’t something to be delighted about.
“Damn.”
-Lololol
So everyone… that’s why ㅠㅠ
-Lol he was chosen for being weak
ㅠㅠ (crying/tears)
-Hang in there, Streamer Dadeul!
“Wait, so Mond, what about you? I don’t have confidence going alone.”
Soon Balloon Gum was worried about Almond too. He had performed the walking so perfectly today.
It would take more time to drag this evaluation back down to a ‘failing’ level.
In game time, I would need to attend the modeling club for at least the day after tomorrow.
Almond didn’t want the time to drag on like that.
“Actually, there is one way to finish this tomorrow.”
He had devised a method.
“…Huh? There is? Something like that?”
“Look over there right now.”
Screech.
The door to the modeling club opens, and the NPCs file out one by one.
“There are thirty-two of us in total.”
“Huh…?”
“The modeling club.”
“You take twelve, and I’ll handle twenty. We’ll divide it up like that.”
Tap tap tap tap.
Almond follows after the NPCs.
“…W-what are you talking about! Are you suggesting we start a brawl or something?”
Surprisingly, it was a similar sentiment.
