Chapter 243

“Uhh… Excuse me…”

– What is this? LOL

– LOL LOL LOL

– It’s a broadcast about broadcasting about broadcasting about broadcasting…

– It looks like the mirrors attached to both sides of the elevator. LOL

– What on earth is happening, NoName? LOL

Two cameras are facing each other while filming.

The camera director, looking flustered, finally spoke to Name, who was filming herself.

“What are you doing, friend?”

“Filming.”

– No, who is this person?!

– Are you a robber?!

– Ah, don’t worry ~ I’m a robber ~

– Did you think you wouldn’t see me start the broadcast from dawn?

– What’s up with the camera? It looks like professional equipment.

– Isn’t it just skin?

It was already 11 AM with the sun high in the sky, but for some, it was still dreamland.

As this broadcast started abruptly without any notice, the managers who had their notifications on rushed over, rubbing their sleepy eyes as they entered the broadcast.

Then they saw a bearded man holding a camera filming in the broadcasting studio.

In response to viewers demanding an explanation, Name turned the camera around to herself.

“Today, I thought I’d do a somewhat special broadcast.”

– Special?

– Was there ever a time it wasn’t special? (Really unsure)

– No, how is it okay to turn it off before the last game when you’re about to promote?

– In the end, Name turned off the broadcast and got promoted to Grandmaster. LOL

– There were just too many trolls.

– No Name is cursing… During the next challenger promotion, I hope you meet trolls and get a 15-minute surrender…

“This is our camera director! Right now, we’re filming Genius Discovery Team and I think we need your help, so I came to ask for your cooperation through this broadcast.”

– Whoa!

– Genius Discovery Team?

– Wa!

– Ah, it’s been a long time of hardship and persecution… Finally, the world recognizes NoName…

– A streamer who is surprisingly unpopular compared to their skills.

└ If there are 10,000 average viewers, that’s a major corporation, right?

└ If NoName had broadcast every single day, they could have hit 30,000.

– The best output born in 2043!

└ Does someone born in the ’40s even exist? No way, don’t lie ~

– I can’t believe this, there’s a 24 year age difference between us.

└ You need to multiply Name’s age by 4 to get my age. LOL

– Mom, I made it on air!

The camera director, witnessing the dizzying nickname of the donor, started sweating profusely.

If public broadcasting is like a well-organized Olympics, then internet broadcasting is like a underground fighting arena where athletes put their lives on the line.

Raw expressions poured out from the audience without restraint.

When wondering if it was really right to keep doing broadcasts like this for the child’s mental health, Name returned as the avatar from World of Aura.

A blonde woman took out a sword from its scabbard.

She spun the sword in the air confidently, giving off an impressive display.

While the production team was still preparing to connect to the virtual reality, the camera director asked her a question instead.

“Is this your friend’s avatar? What concept did you create it with?”

“Concept? Hmm…”

Name thought deeply, rolling her eyes upwards.

Finally, her cherry-like lips moved as her alluring voice rang out.

“The strongest princess in the world?”

– Wow, ha ha ha, oh it’s not really funny?

– Fact) It’s a fact.

– That account is a god!

– Show them a healer who breaks heads with a staff.

– Name is a baby… Name likes princesses…

– Where’s the princess in that?

The camera director had just heard from Professor Cheon that Name shows too mature of a side, so he was worried.

However, such innocent child-like aspects occasionally popping out were unnecessary worries.

‘I feel like I’m watching my daughter.’

The smile on his lips seemed like it would never fade.

Until Name connected to the newly launched training mode in World of Aura.

“Daesal, are you there?”

– (Manager 1): ?

“Is this a good time for you? Are you able to connect to World of Aura right now?”

– (Manager 1): Why?

“I was hoping you could be my guinea pig. Just for one hour, no more, no less.”

– (Manager 1): I have a lunch meeting with the professor later.

“I’m a little disappointed, Cha Eunwoo. Do you know how many people want to broadcast with me? It makes me a little sad that you’re a manager in my room and yet you ignore the broadcast. Cha Eunwoo-”

– (Manager 1): Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay! Just stop if you’re going to do it!

* * *

Where on earth does the source of combat power lie?

It was a question that anyone watching Name’s broadcast would have wondered at least once.

She always executed various moves that weren’t even offered as game assist features without fail.

In-game, the opposing team’s healer is always the first target to be taken down.

This is also why the popularity of the assassin class, despite having limited specs, remains strong, as they focus on eliminating healers and mages.

However, Name’s style was to skillfully evade the assassins’ strikes from behind and counterattack instead.

Today, Name finally provided an answer to that question.

[NoName]

[World of Arseria – Learning Self-Defense]

[Broadcast time – 0:29:44]

[Number of viewers – 13,048]

Ultimately, Daesal had to postpone his meal with the professor by an hour to maintain human dignity.

Though a relative had to be sacrificed in the process of making excuses, it couldn’t be helped.

In any case, he managed to arrange a one-on-one session with NoName.

It wasn’t that he was lacking in expectations.

Rather, he tightened his fists at the thought that he would be able to feel her skills firsthand.

Seeing that, Name squinted one eye.

“Are you really going to hit me with that fist?”

Daesal quickly withdrew his fist and shook his head.

“No, no, no, no! That’s not it! Weren’t we supposed to have a one-on-one?”

The chat room criticized him in unison.

– Uuuuuu~

– Trying to hit an eight-year-old? Wow;;

– Look how tightly he’s clenching his fist. How can he even think of hitting Name?

– He’s human trash, uuuu.

“It’s true. I’ve shown it to the viewers last time, remember that video shot in Germany?”

“Oh yeah, that! How did you do that? Why are you filming GTA in reality…”

“If you want the details, you can check it on the broadcast later. Today, I’m trying to recreate that scene in-game. My manager is going to help me with that.”

With a single gesture from Name, the map instantly transformed into an arena.

Daesal, dusting himself, tapped the ground a few times with his feet and displayed a flustered expression.

“Was I the one who was going to get hit?”

“No, feel free to counterattack as realistically as you can.”

“What if I accidentally hit you?”

“I don’t think I’ll ever get hit by Daesal, but would it be a big problem for me?”

The manager recalled a video of Shin Yeon-ho from Korea University.

Fortunately, he had decent looks and could receive leniency from female viewers.

But Daesal was different.

No matter if it was in the game, the moment he landed a punch on Name’s face, he was bound to be socially buried.

“I’ll keep it moderate.”

“Alright, let’s get started. First, about the roundhouse kick I threw earlier. This has a complex principle that’s different from how it looks, so we’ll skip that and start from the leg trip portion.”

As the large man in the video flew onto the wall, the man next to him lunged towards Name with arms wide open.

However, Name buried her body low and instantly caused the man to topple over, rolling on the floor.

Rewinding the video by ten seconds, this time it was played at 0.5x speed.

Then, it was paused.

“The leg trip is a useful technique to overcome an opponent that is several weight classes above you. Grabbing the opponent’s collar, making a support with the left foot, and then tripping the back of the opponent’s leg with the right foot to utilize the principle of rotational force. Like this, one, two.”

As Name pressed her skin closely, Daesal could smell a sweet peach fragrance.

But that was short-lived.

The blonde hair swayed, and his vision twisted.

“Uhh? Ah!”

Thud—

Dust flew up from the ground.

While Daesal awkwardly got up, Name continued her explanation.

“Right now, I’ve got my avatar equipped and grabbed your arm, but if there’s a significant height difference, it’s fine to grab anything that can pull the opponent from the right side.”

“Wow, I got taken down in an instant. But I don’t think I’ll get taken down twice.”

“That’s right, it’s hard to use this in real combat because the opponent will resist.”

Name positively affirmed that opinion.

“Shall we see how long you can hold out this time?”

As she grabbed his collar to perform the leg trip, Daesal lowered his stance and pulled his leg back to resist.

“So, this is the point in real combat. Because the opponent is resisting, the axis keeps turning, and you can’t maintain your stance. If you take a step back, I’ll also take a step forward to ensure that the tripping direction is perpendicular. One, two, three, four.”

As soon as she kicked with her right foot, she decisively pushed her left foot deeper towards Daesal.

“Whoa!”

Despite his resistance, this time Daesal’s body rolled on the ground.

“But executing this move is quite risky. There’s a chance I could get countered from it. Here, the most important point is not the pushing right hand, the right foot that is doing the hooking, or the supporting left foot, but the left hand that pulls the opponent in.”

“The left hand?”

“Not everyone can control Aura freely. But to enhance just a specific body part and deliver significant strength in a short time, with almost no hassle for just a few hours of practice a day, is something you can learn within about a week, right? Today, I plan to teach you guys such self-defense techniques.”

Name’s planned broadcast was an education session filled with useful tips.

Though Korea ranked at the top worldwide in terms of public safety, crime was still rampant in various areas of society.

She hoped that even one or two of the people who learned self-defense from this broadcast might find it helpful in an emergency.

“Now, would you like to attack me? Whether it’s grabbing, swinging a fist, or kicking, it doesn’t matter.”

“You’re really planning to bury me!”

But it was a broadcast, so it couldn’t be rejected.

Daesal pretended to hit her moderately, becoming the assistant for Name’s self-defense education broadcast, but viewers’ complaints began to pile up due to his lackluster performance.

– You’re too casual, manager!

– Uuuuuu

– Get that guy out of here! Get him out!

– The way the manager moves is surprisingly a key point, LOL

– This person is a World of Aura Challenger.

– Really?

– Experienced hands are different!

Ultimately, Daesal used his emergency escape ticket.

“Name! I think the professor really needs me, so I have to go now…!”

“Really, Manager Cha Eunwoo?”

“Even if you try to accuse me with words like that, it won’t matter! I really have to go!”

Daesal was too scared to see the rapidly building messages from the professor piling in on his messaging app.

“Okay, I’ll let you go just this once. Now who should I do the rest of the time with? Oh!”

As Daesal departed, Name sent a message somewhere.

At that moment, several question marks flooded the chat.

A cat-eared beastman descended from a portal that opened in the sky.

“Adella has appeared! What did you call for, sister?”

Name reached out her hand to her.

“What? Wanna shake hands?”

“…”

“Here, shake hands.”

Adella, clueless, grabbed Name’s hand.

Suddenly, Name tightly clenched her hand and pulled her arm back.

Adella was dragged along helplessly.

She tripped Adella’s legs and sent her crashing to the ground.

Puff—

Adella spat the dirt she had ingested and got up.

“What the heck is this!”

“Let’s fight.”

“What? You want to fight?”

Adella looked at Name with a strange expression.

‘Has she lost it out there with the heat or something!’

After noticing that expression, Name calmly replied, hands behind her back.

“Yeah.”

“This little brat really must be crazy!”

“If you beat me here, I’ll give you a chance to change our sister-brother relationship.”

“… Are you serious?”

Adella’s eyebrows twitched.

How long must she keep calling this eight-year-old little girl ‘sister’?

The time to repay all the humiliation had come.

“Get ready to die, sister.”

“I’ll show you the real deal!”
