Chapter 237
Min Woo-seong asked again.
“Are you really planning to do a collaboration broadcast with your disciples? I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
[Is there a problem with that?]
“Well… the skill gap is going to be huge. Won’t your disciples get criticized by the viewers for being weak?”
Min Woo-seong’s concern was valid.
From his perspective, if Ha Eung Eung did a broadcast with her disciples, they would likely be compared to her and would probably end up being the butt of the jokes due to their relative lack of skill.
Manager Lee Soo-hye, who had made use of her skills as an Awakener in her specialty and had done well, and Dashman, who had provided fun as a streamer, had done their part well.
But could the disciples do the same?
Their skills were below Lee Soo-hye’s, and their entertainment value was probably lower than Dashman’s as well.
[They’ll probably get criticized, yes.]
Ha Eung Eung agreed.
The disciples were still lacking.
[But it’s fine.]
At the same time, she thought to herself.
[They’ll probably be pitied enough that viewers will cheer them on before criticizing.]
“……”
[It’s true. In the halftime dungeon clearing broadcast, Nina and Nanase did the same.]
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe it, but Ha Eung Eung was momentarily at a loss for words, realizing that such a terrifying thought had crossed her mind.
Min Woo-seong was already overwhelmed with pity, imagining the future where the disciples would fail.
“This is information I overheard, but please, only the guild leader should know.”
Min Woo-seong decided to be considerate of the poor disciples.
Since they were bound to fail during the collaboration, wouldn’t it be better for them to participate in a competition that might give them an advantage?
“In the later section of the first round, the combat power assessment will use the Silent Swordsman Catch-Up Version 5.0.”
This was information he had read from Han Chae-rin’s thoughts using mind reading, so it was certain.
“The collaboration should be done using the Silent Swordsman Catch-Up Version 5.0; it will be helpful for the disciples.”
[So you wanted the collaboration even though you pretended not to.]
“Excuse me?”
[So you gathered this information beforehand?]
“Ah, yes… Let’s just leave it at that.”
[Then Woo-seong, you should also join.]
“Me? Join?”
[If you were enthusiastic enough to prepare something that wasn’t even asked of you, you must want to join the collaboration too, right? I understand that feeling without needing to say it.]
“That's not necessary. You’re completely mistaken.” Min Woo-seong was too scared to refuse and weakly answered, “Yes…”
The Silent Swordsman started the broadcast.
- Huh? Aren’t they busy with the competition program?
- Looks like they’re just streaming during a break.
- There’s no way the Silent Swordsman is this diligent.
- Who are you? What did you do to our 13th man, the Silent Swordsman?
<Dr. Michael donated 10,000 won!>
Hehehe, your Silent Swordsman has been modified by me, Dr. Michael. Enjoy the torture of an inhuman broadcasting schedule and a personalityless Silent Swordsman who has no silent concept!
- Dr. Michael, the god!
- Aaaah, so scary (not at all scary).
- A perfect candidate for president!
- Dr. Michael for the National Assembly!
- President? That position doesn’t even have much power, haha. The Awakener Association president is the real powerhouse.
- What did you do to him, you monster?
- Sometimes a personalityless society is necessary, right?
- Nah, that’s not a thing. You’ve got a highlighter in hand, right?
It was chaotic.
Ha Eung Eung took her eyes off the chat window and began scribbling with a pen.
At first, the angular handwriting, reminiscent of Chinese calligraphy, gradually became faster, adapting to writing much more quickly. The strokes and connections formed rounded letters.
If she kept broadcasting like this for another five years, she’d probably develop a scrawl that only doctors or pharmacists could read.
Though Ha Eung Eung was unnecessarily worried, sometimes unnecessary worries come with unnecessary solutions.
Humans are adaptable creatures. If the viewers, who had seen all these changes, could get used to the rushed handwriting, they’d surely be able to read it.
[Today, I will be doing a collaboration broadcast with my disciples.]
- Oh
- Disciples?
- Suddenly?
- Haha, the new broadcast is going to be so cute.
- I actually like this.
- Are you doing a half-demon song?
- Are you doing "Hell, Se-Sal"?
- No interference, please! Don’t come close!
[Today, I will be doing a collaboration broadcast with my disciples.]
- Why are you saying the same thing again?
- Feels like you want to write in brown.
- What kind of mood is that?
[Today, I will be doing a collaboration broadcast with my disciples.]
- Stop it, you monster!
- The different handwriting styles are strangely triggering me.
- Did you lag?
- I can hear you just fine after one mention!
- Don’t treat us like idiots!
[Today, I will be doing a collaboration broadcast with my disciples.]
- Let’s fight, you bastard!
- Hold on, you’re the one who’s getting fired up.
- PK immunity, huh? Going all out, huh?
- You monster!!!
- (This message is blocked. Time remaining: 10:00)
- Stop, please!!!
- (This message is blocked. Time remaining: 30:00)
- What the hell is going on!!!
- Are you testing if people can still understand even when the handwriting is different?
The intense reaction from the viewers made Ha Eung Eung realize that the handwriting adaptation training would need to be gradual.
While she was determined to try writing in different styles like the "A-Soccer-Friend" script and "Yang Jae-Nancho Script M" in the next broadcast, Min Woo-seong, who had just entered the broadcast, spoke up.
“Why are you torturing the viewers?”
[Today, Min Woo-seong, the training instructor, will help guide the broadcast.]
- Looks like the lagging Silent Swordsman is finally done, haha.
- If you did that one more time, I might have gone insane.
- Wow! Martial arts competition winner!
- Training instructor?
- What’s he guiding?
- Are we fighting demons?
- Are we doing half-demon collab?
“Ah, I’ll pass on fighting demons. Luckily, I’ll be guiding living beings instead of dead ones. Well, unless my guidance fails and they all die.”
- Hahahaha
- Min Woo-seong: “The ones who will be guided today should chant ‘I’m dead!’”
- Isn’t this basically a declaration of them all dying?
“It’s been confirmed that the preparations are finished. I’ll call everyone in.”
At Min Woo-seong’s signal, several beams of light descended from the sky.
The light beams, known as the “Collaboration Summon Effect,” shone down on the ground as the disciples who would be the main focus of today’s broadcast appeared on-screen.
“Wow! Silent Swordsman broadcast!”
“Hello, everyone! It’s Jisu!”
“Please cheer for contestant number 213, Cha Ji-yeon!”
The sudden appearance of the disciples and their requests for support were met with cheers from the viewers.
- ?
- ?
- Wow! So many beauties!
- (I don’t know why, but I’m happy)
- What is this situation?
- Why are all of them beautiful? What’s happening today?
- Do we just pick who’s the prettiest?
- Even if all of them are included, the Silent Swordsman is the prettiest.
- I think Min Woo-seong is fine.
- ?
- ?
“Our guild leader is personally conducting special training for our Haenampa disciples to successfully pass the first round of the competition program.”
“Eh~ weren’t we supposed to go to war with demons?”
“Let us fight too!”
“Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that. Since we chose the ‘Silent Swordsman Catch-Up Version 5.0’ for the training program, you will have all the chances you want.”
“But that’s the Awakener rank exam program!”
“They said even current Awakener’s find it incredibly difficult!”
Awakeners have significantly higher physical abilities.
So, the complaints from non-Awakened trainees weren’t just empty whines.
[It’s okay.]
Ha Eung Eung completely understood their fear.
So, in a way, it was even better.
If she hadn’t set things up this way, wouldn’t they have just been complaining and making mistakes during the real combat?
[As long as you follow the instructions, you’ll achieve good results.]
The Silent Swordsman showed the disciples how to follow the Silent Swordsman Catch-Up.
The educational broadcast with the disciples began.
<FactOnlyDeliver donated 10,000 won!>
“Just follow the instructions” (The phrase Silent Swordsman used 15 minutes ago)
- How can we follow this, haha
- Did you get it?
- Easy, right? (Not easy at all)
- It’s nothing, right? (Actually, it’s a lot)
- When the evil spirits swarm, you just eliminate the ones coming from one direction, charge forward and cut the enemy lines in half to escape, why can’t we do that? Haha
The hurdles were too high.
Not only could they not follow the Silent Swordsman’s teachings, it was hard for them to even mimic something similar.
[Looks like I was going too fast. I’ll slow it down a bit and try again.]
The new mode for Silent Swordsman Catch-Up.
The spirit-hunting siege battle, where you catch as many evil spirits as possible.
The evasion contest, where you avoid the fireballs thrown by the Demon King for as long as you can.
Ha Eung Eung demonstrated the necessary actions.
- Bend your knees.
- Swing the sword (in an incomprehensible and mysterious way).
- You don’t know why you bent your knees, or when you straightened them, but you emphasize that the knees are important.
[Let’s stick to these basic movements for the siege breakthrough.]
- Watch the trajectory of the fireballs flying at you.
- Without looking at the ground, leap into the air and somehow dodge out of range.
- The attack misses, and the teaching is over, but nothing makes sense.
[This is how to perform the basic moves for evasion.]
Did you get it?
The disciples, with faces that looked like they were about to cry, mumbled:
“What’s going on? Why does it look like the teacher is controlling the speed of the movements like in a fast forward?”
“This is the basic move?”
“Sorry, Mom… I don’t understand any of this. I’ll just help my mom and inherit the store...”
