I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 156
SKY Collaboration Test (1)
Personal broadcasting culture had always had tremendous influence, but even after the concept of Players emerged, its impact remained strong.
Whether uploading their own combat scenes, introducing cute summoned creatures, or reviewing recorded dungeon exploration footage.
There was an endless variety of content that could capture viewers’ interest.
Various Players gained popularity through such personal broadcasts, secured fan bases, and successfully built their personal brands…
Among them was a Player called the top tier in skill – BJ Luna.
Real name Han Yu-na.
Age 24.
Initially, she gained fame for skillfully handling B-rank elf archer ‘Luna’ and B-rank elf assassin ‘Spark’…
But after revealing her appearance later, her popularity literally exploded.
Outstanding beauty.
A healthy, attractive figure.
And a slightly provocative way of speaking.
└ Cute unni, I miss you.
└ For real, once you see her you can’t escape lol
└ Pretty face, good stamina, and even skilled at summoning! Isn’t she truly multi-talented?
Therefore, she had many male fans, but also possessed numerous female fans.
└ But when is she coming?
└ Right, uploads have been sparse lately…
└ ??? Still don’t know? She posted an announcement before. Said she was going to take the SKY entrance test. That was already a week ago lol
└ Ah, really? I didn’t see the announcement… But even for Luna, isn’t SKY a bit much?
└ Just being selected among the 100 applicants is already crazy.
└ Right, I heard the interviews there are incredibly strict.
Even when she wasn’t streaming or uploading edited videos.
Countless fans would wait for news about her.
The main debate was one thing.
Indeed.
Could Luna join SKY?
There were various opinions.
└ Why wouldn’t it work? Luna’s stamina is incredible, right? She’s always running around dungeons herself. Isn’t that exactly the type of talent SKY likes?
└ Her stamina is good but… that alone feels slightly lacking. It’s still the national team after all.
└ Yeah, only talent monsters can go there.
└ lol Even more than half are world rankers. But? Luna isn’t even a domestic ranker.
└ Does SKY recruit based on rankings? Then what about Hwang Ji-woo and Song Yeon-hee?
└ That’s also true.
The majority consensus was that she would probably fail.
No matter how much fan loyalty there was, and how much they liked Luna…
Many opinions said there was nowhere else to go so why challenge SKY.
There are many candidates.
From domestic rankers to major guild executives.
Luna getting selected over such formidable Players?
Come on!
Don’t talk nonsense!
While they were debating like this from Sunday morning.
└ Huh?
└ Wait!
└ Live on just appeared?
└ Really?
└ Suddenly?
BJ Luna started a live broadcast.
Tap, tap!
Along with the sound of touching the camera, the screen shook briefly, then switched to selfie mode with Han Yu-na’s face in close-up filling the entire screen.
└ lololol
└ Look at that face lol
└ Han Yu-na appears.
└ Even her entrance is so Han Yu-na-like.
└ Close-up~
└ Luha~
└ Luha!!
└ Beauty that can’t be hidden even in close-up~
“Oh my, sorry! Sorry! The close-up is too much, right? Oh dear~ You can probably see my nostrils flaring. Everyone, did you miss me?”
Han Yu-na playfully widened her eyes and smiled slightly.
“Damn, too close, right? Ha, am I getting old? Should I really wear glasses? Guys, please understand. My hands are shaking right now.”
└ lol Heard you took the entrance test, must have been tough
└ What kind of test did you take that your hands are shaking?
└ Did you fail? Did you come back after failing?
└ I bet 100,000 won on failure.
└ She failed so she’s broadcasting at this time lol Still, good job. Just participating puts you in the top 0.1% of Players lol
“First.”
Phew.
Han Yu-na let out a short sigh.
“This is inside Yubaek City, okay? I got permission from the representative to film this, so don’t start any trouble.”
50 interns.
They had become friends with most guild members after a week of hellish training.
Perhaps because Yu Ji-a selected them through the Mind Reading Squad based on character, everyone was modest and pure.
Actually, Han Yu-na was the most standout among them.
“Guys, this is really amazing. I really saw Jia unni right in front of my eyes. She’s just gorgeous, gorgeous. Different class. Not on screen but in person.”
As befitting a veteran broadcaster, she kept the audio filled with her provocative speaking style.
└ No, so lol
└ Did you pass or fail!
└ No need to ask lol She failed.
└ But why is she inside Yubaek City?
└ ??
└ Huh?
└ Hmm? That’s right?
“No, everyone. What’s wrong? What do you take me for!”
Han Yu-na made an indignant expression.
“Of course I haven’t failed yet! I said it in the announcement. I’ll definitely pass and become our SKY’s promotional ambassador.”
└ Really?
└ For real?
└ Wow!
└ You passed?
└ Rumors already spread that the stamina training was insane?
└ Crazy
└ This is really surprising?
The 50 people who failed the first stamina training left on Saturday.
As a result, rumors naturally spread through some big mouths.
Yu Ji-a didn’t bother to stop the rumors.
Rather, she encouraged them to talk about it.
That way, they would apply with such determination during the 3rd recruitment, was the reasoning.
“Everyone, listen to this. Really, wow~ this guy here is crazy, totally. You should definitely apply at least once later. I really feel like I came back from living in hell, you know? Can you see my hands shaking?”
Han Yu-na held her hands up to the screen, then even showed her legs.
“I’m not putting any strength into this at all, you know? But it’s still trembling like this.”
Han Yu-na boasted tremendous speaking skills, vividly recounting episodes from physical training.
That wasn’t all.
She wandered around, introducing the meal plans.
She also gave tours of the inside of Yubaek City.
Sunday.
Even during rest time, she was thinking of creating content using that time…
She was a natural-born broadcaster.
Yubaek Executive Office.
“Is this really okay?”
Hong Ari asked Yu Ji-a cautiously.
“Of course.”
Yu Ji-a smiled and nodded.
“This is also part of promotion. And didn’t you say you personally liked it too?”
“Yes.”
Hong Ari nodded.
She had selected two players and reported to Yu Ji-a.
The player who dominated with physical strength was Seo I-yun.
Han Yu-na, who lacked physical strength but showed tremendous will to never give up until the end.
In the first round, bonus points were given to them.
“That’s why I allowed it.”
Rustle.
She continued speaking while turning pages of documents.
In the corner of the desk, a phone was propped up diagonally…
Han Yu-na’s lively broadcast was playing in real-time there.
“A player with such good speaking skills openly sharing honest emotions with the public? We can show that we’re that strict and transparent.”
Though criticism had died down with this victory, the fact that only SKY members could enter the national team was, in a way, a monopoly.
There were still weak but persistent controversies here and there.
She understood.
Stagnant water tends to rot, and it’s natural for people around to worry about that water rotting.
That’s why they were creating channels for communication.
A bit more honest.
A bit more direct.
Also.
If the tremendous welfare and benefits she received, and the greatness of guild members were conveyed?
Yu Ji-a judged that the positive effects would be much greater than negative views toward SKY.
“Hehe, she’ll handle it well on her own. Then I won’t worry and will prepare for the next test.”
“Good. What’s the next test?”
“Cooperation.”
Hong Ari’s lips curved upward.
“It’s team battles.”
From 1st to 10th place.
Shall we list out the domestic rankings?
No.
There’s no need for that.
They’re all SKY members anyway.
Even Hwang Ji-woo, who was once unranked, had proudly settled into domestic 10th place.
Domestic 9th place was Song Yeon-hee.
Domestic 8th place was Kang Geon-ho.
Though they didn’t make it into the world rankings top 100, they had perfectly settled into the domestic rankings.
Then?
Domestic 11th place becomes quite frustrating.
That frustrated party, Jeong Si-woo, also participated in this test.
Nerd guy.
A man with a engineering student image, called a data machine for being smart.
Having just turned 30 this year, he was enjoying quite a lot of popularity among women.
“Phew.”
Jeong Si-woo wiped his glasses that were fogged up with heat and mist.
He came out even on holidays to train consistently.
‘I realized a lot this time.’
That his physical strength was severely lacking.
Also, to really make it to the national team…
He had to perform better than at least Hwang Ji-woo, who was domestic 10th place.
However.
‘Can I beat Hwang Ji-woo?’
Meeting her this time, he knew for certain.
She was no ordinary person.
How could that tiny girl have such good stamina…
Running around without making a single complaint… He had to taste frustration for the first time.
They hadn’t even competed with summons yet, but he felt it instinctively.
‘It’s a huge gap.’
What was the cause of that gap?
Environment.
The presence of a master.
‘I just need to get in too.’
He had tasted frustration, but he couldn’t stop here.
‘Rely on logic and analysis rather than emotions.’
“Huh.”
He exhaled and thought.
‘From analyzing various survival programs, the next test will involve strategic aspects or processes requiring teamwork.’
They would definitely need to select a small number of people.
The best way to reduce people was team battles.
‘From now on, cooperation rather than physical strength might become important.’
Jeong Si-woo pressed his temple with his index finger and made plans.
Then?
Why did the judges bother to give rest time on Sunday?
Why were judges who could maintain scary and authoritative attitudes approaching the interns closely?
No matter how much he thought about it, there was only one answer.
‘Team.’
He thought that the upcoming team selection might not be random.
They might need to build friendships during the rest period and form teams based on that.
Thinking this way, he felt rushed.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Looking around, he spotted someone.
“Wow, amazing! No, but seriously everyone, is this real? How is it that the current viewer count when I’m just filming daily life is higher than when I prepare content properly? That’s so unfair! What was all my effort until now for! Be honest! There are no fans of mine here! What? You want to see Player Baek Jin-woo? I haven’t seen him either, you brat!”
A slightly airheaded-looking woman wandering around with a phone.
‘But.’
Jeong Si-woo remembered.
Her appearance as she struggled desperately, never giving up even at the bottom of the rankings.
Having lived for 30 years, he had accumulated data on various types of human nature…
Usually.
‘People like that succeed at whatever they do.’
Then?
Approach her and become friends.
Step.
Having set his goal, Jeong Si-woo boldly walked forward.
