Genius Archer's Streaming

The Rope Assassin was rattled. "Damn... damn..."

These uncontracted tanks couldn’t be ignored right beside the carry like this, no matter how much they were just shield minions.

"Shield bash~ or not? Hmm?"

— LOOL

— lmaooooo

— I don't think they can land it anyway

— Mind games

— lmaooooo

Getting hit by a shield bash caused a stun. If two shield minions started wailing simultaneously, an assassin had to accept losing half their health. Therefore, assassins usually tried to threaten enough damage to drive them away.

The Rope Assassin tried to.

Slash!

Slash!

He went at them with his blade.

'Their health is filling back up...!'

Huuuuum!

— Whoa!

— This formation... might be invincible?

— What the...

— Insane rune usage

— Jungle Calculator

— Is this what a pro looks like?!

'It wasn't just a fluke earlier.'

This wasn't a one-time refill. Something was going on here.

'A rune?'

Huuuum!

A green ring had formed around the carry as their health refilled.

'What kind of healing rate is this?'

The Rope Assassin understood a rune was healing them, but the heal amount made no sense. A third of the tanks' health kept filling back up. The reason would become clear shortly.

Crash!

[DumbYoungMan Double Kill!]

"Wh-what!?" The Rope Assassin was startled.

Two of his teammates had disappeared.

This instantly flipped the situation. Their main force was supposed to win while he disrupted things from the back.

"Why are they LOSING!? I tied up three of them back here!!"

Orange King called out from far away, "When did you ever tie down our carry!?"

— ?

— lmaooooooo

— lmaooo actually answering them

— Commentator in him keeps coming out

— Orange King rapid fire

— Could you please lower your voice, Orange King...

"Our carry was hitting YOUR main force the whole time!"

Right, the assassin had never actually restricted the carry's actions. At best, he'd left a few surface scratches.

Huuuum...!

[Pure Concentration]

Even now, pure white mana gathered and crystallized at Ran's fingertips. Ran hadn't paused his firing on the enemy’s main force a single time. The Rope Assassin's main force had been continuously fighting the contracted carry the whole time. The force disparity had been asymmetric from the very start.

"Then... why was I even fighting?"

— The Smart Young Man's lingering shadow

— You were fighting Almond's rune lmaooo

— Wasted effort

The Rope Assassin was at a loss. All those blade strikes earlier, what had that accomplished? He’d done the work but received no pay. Who would compensate for his time? Reality was merciless. Compensation came in another form instead.

[GodKingOrange Double Kill!]

The main force was obliterated.

— Yoooo

— Yeah~!

— KING

— Is this finally coming together!?

Orange King spun around and came running toward Almond. "What you were fighting... wasn't our carry. It was our carry's rune!"

"...!"

Right, the assassin had carried the heavy burden of being the sole champion on their team. All he'd managed was a fierce duel against one rune belonging to the opposing champion.

— lmaooooooooooo

— 1v1 against a rune LOL

— lmaooooooooo

— fr though

— Having a commentator narrate it makes it feel so real!

Almond had influenced this formation in two places simultaneously. Against the enemy's main force, he was a long-range bombardier. For his allies, he served as an AOE healer. Breaking through this setup with a half-hearted assassin champion was borderline impossible. How had this outcome come about?

"H-how... is this balance... what the!? You robbed the Vault!?"

First, they robbed the Vault. This kind of special rune could only be obtained from the Vault, but that wasn't all. There was a second reason.

"It's because...!"

'Whoooosh!'

Orange King closed in and thrust his spear. "Our carry is too GOOOOOOOD!!"

— lmaooooooooooo

— LOL

— Official LIL Champions commentary endorsement

— Our carry lmaooo

— Because our carry is the Dumb Young Man!!

Right. The carry's skill was exceptional. That was the core of this tactic. Almond's long-range fire had hit multiple targets without missing once. That was why this plan succeeded.

'Just because he's good...?'

This was the most fundamental reason. The assassin was shaken.

They hadn’t gotten lucky with the Vault. It was just a skill gap, and their strategy maximized that skill gap. Not a single excuse could be made.

A low-rank Rope Assassin could never accept this so easily. "DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! WE'RE THE SAME RANK, AFTER ALL!!"

"Look, everyone. The lower the rank, the harder they struggle to acknowledge it and the less they learn!" Orange King's educational commentary sent the assassin into another rage.

"SHUT UUUUUUUUP!"

The Rope Assassin made a catastrophic decision. He ignored the shield-wielders entirely and went after Ran alone. This was madness. They'd die too.

'At least I'm taking this one with me!'

Slaaaaaash!

He uncoiled his rope and charged at Ran.

Slash!

A hit landed. If he kept hitting in sequence, the carry would be finished in no time.

"Huh...?"

Something was off with the damage.

[HP: 86%]

Two hits had clearly landed.

Thud!

[Shield Bash]

"YAHHH!"

Both shield bashes came at him simultaneously.

"Heh... huh?"

Bubblegum missed, but it didn't matter.

Thrust!

Orange King's spear pierced the Rope Assassin instead.

"!"

Orange King had rejoined the main formation at just the right moment.

"AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!?" He laughed like a maniac. "DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT WOULD WOOOORK!?"

He shoved his face close, sending spittle flying.

"..."

— ?

— ??

— lmaooooooo is he insane

— LOL

— How badly does he want to win...

— (Just acknowledge me!)

Thrust...!

Driving the spear deeper, Orange King murmured, "This carry even has a flat health rune, kid."

"Wh-what kind of carry has a rune like that...!"

Cough...!

The dumbfounded assassin coughed up blood.

Crackle crackle!

[Pure Concentration]

Almond slowly turned around and finally aimed at the assassin.

Orange King said from the side, "That's because! Second lesson, right here!!"

White light gradually blazed and swallowed the surroundings.

Orange King's silhouette raised both arms. "Contracting starts from the most skilled!!"

The rune that went into the contract hadn't been factored in. They just contracted the most skilled first and forced a tactic. This was how to survive at this rank.

[Release]

Craaaaaaash!

And so, the Rope Assassin received the greatest lesson of their LIL career.

'I... I'll remember this.'

He dissolved into light on the battlefield.

[Team 4 Out!]

— Second lesson~

— So all of Almond's lessons ended up being right

— Insane lmaooooo

— Orange King is listening to Almond's lessons

— LOL

— fr

— Got a free special lecture and left...

They each ran various games or advertisements. Among them, the only one playing LIL for tournament prep at this hour was Sweet Radish. Sweet Radish's stream suddenly received a video donation.

'Ba-bam!'

[Emergency has donated 10,000 won!]

[The signal flare for the Smart Young Man's revival (video)]

Sweet Radish usually kept video donations off mid-game.

"Oh, I didn't turn that off? I'll watch it a little later... hm?"

He was about to watch it later, but suddenly stopped.

"... This is ragebait, right?"

It had an unbelievable title.

— lmaooooooooooo

— LOL

— Just play it if you don't believe it

— fr though

— It's not old footage haha

— The face of a hero upon hearing the demon king has returned lmaooo

Sweet Radish maintained a good-natured smile and asked again, "No, we literally just had the exorcism ritual with the head smacking, though?"

His expression seemed to say, “Can someone please tell me this is a lie?”

The entire world couldn't lie for him.

— Head smacking exorcism lmaooo

— lmaooooo

— That's true though

— I can't believe it either?

— Want to take a look?

Sweet Radish forced himself to dismiss it as nonsense and pushed the video donation to the back of the queue. Then, another donation came in.

Ding!

[Shaman has donated 1,000 won.]

[Actually, what happened was the exorcism ritual that killed off the Smart Young Man had a counter-effect that resurrected him. Orange King took the bait~]

— lmaooooooooooo

— lmaooo fr

— LOL

— So that's what happened...

— Wait so the culprit was actually Orange King?

— That fruit accomplice is the culprit

Crash!

[Team 3 Out!]

Unable to focus on the game, Sweet Radish lost. He didn’t say a single word about the game and immediately played the video of Orange King finishing 9th place with his own strategy.

Sweet Radish tilted his head in disbelief. There was nothing wrong with the strategy.

"No, what's wrong with this strategy that it ends in 9th... hm?"

He checked the members.

[Bubblegum]

[BornToB]

These members always came ready to lose.

"Come on... This is clearly set up, right? They're just making it entertaining."

— lmaooooooooooo

— Look how fast the rationalization goes

— He's literally following the Smart Young Man's advice right now lmaooo

— Oh we're done now...

— The Smart Young Man is actually teaching Orange King...

"Everyone, the Smart Young Man doesn't exist. There's only the Dumb Young Man..."

Sweet Radish traded words with viewers.

— Gyuri is also in the five-person party now

This chat message caught his eye.

"Lemon was there too?"

It wasn't just two trolls.

[Lemon]

The actual Lemon was also there.

— They're going five-person party now LOL

— Looks like they'll run five-person queue hahaha

— The Smart Young Man is genuinely relentless

Apparently, they went back in again with a five-person queue.

'This is getting serious.'

If Orange King failed to make a proper showing here, would the Smart Young Man really be riding high again?

'No...'

Sweet Radish clenched his eyes shut. Of course, only he knew he'd clenched them.

Ziiing.

[This World Connection Request]

[Sweet Potato]

Sweet Potato was reaching out.

Whoosh!

He accepted, and Sweet Potato's avatar appeared.

"Oh. Potato Servant."

"Heyyy~ Are you watching?"

They hadn't said what, but Sweet Radish nodded.

"Of course."

"This is... What do we do?"

Ziing.

[This World Connection Request]

[Black Tea]

Even BlackTea was calling.

Whoosh.

Black Tea entered the channel.

"Why is Gyuri over there, though? Is she in the Smart Young Man faction now? HUH!?"

Black Tea skipped greetings and went straight to the Smart Young Man topic.

— lmaooooooooooo

— Why are you upset LOL

— The person who cared least about the Smart Young Man is freaking out now that Lemon crossed over

— Hahaha

— Smart Young Man faction lmaooo

— lmaooooo is this a Smart Young Man emergency meeting?

Sweet Radish shook his head. "Hey, the Smart Young Man doesn't exist. There's only the Dumb Young Man."

They naturally gathered together and watched the journey of the Dumb Young Man with the two trolls, Lemon, and their guiding teacher, Orange King.

"Oh. It's started."

Black Tea naturally settled into her seat.

— So entertaining LOL

— Knight Order full observation collab

— Insane

— How scared are they all...

"Great Teacher Orange King...! Please win for us!" Sweet Potato pleaded with Orange King.

Sweet Radish just quietly stared at the screen.

— Them gathering to watch the Smart Young Man's game is so funny

— lmaooo Great Teacher

— LOL

— Will they win though?!

'Wait, hold on.'

He was thrown off.

'Orange King's strategy...'

Orange King's strategy was completely different from before.

'It's merging with Almond's, isn't it?'

Was he listening to Almond's lessons...?
