“Here’s the video I saw. It was a content called ‘Documentary 4 Days’ that hit millions of views on V-Tube last year.”
Cheon Semin showed the production team a video with 7.5 million views. He quickly flipped through the video with a calm expression before clenching his fist and pausing the video.
“Here, this part.”
“Wha…!”
The team’s eyes trembled. Among the awkwardly aligned game characters waving their hands, a very young child who is presumed to be an avatar of Noname was blinking rapidly.
“This is Morse code, which originated 200 years ago. Three short flashes mean ‘S’ and three long flashes mean ‘O.’”
“So, S… OS?”
“Right.”
“Ah… How can this be…”
“Ugh… Huk…”
One of the assistant directors could not contain the nausea rising within and rushed out to the bathroom.
It finally sank in that Noname had been trapped in a capsule for a physical meaning. She had been engaged in a brutal and horrific battle with death for more than seven years, not merely dismissible as an unfortunate childhood.
Watching the stiff child with a blank expression desperately blinking her eyes kept stirring emotions within.
“Thank you, Semin Oppa.”
“You must live happily and not get hurt, okay?”
“Come on, you’re not being too pretentious just because it’s a broadcast, are you…? Yes, I understand.”
The next schedule was at Seoul Asan Hospital.
Criminal investigators and rescue workers all gathered in one spot with the doctor who had been in charge of Noname at the time.
A year ago, a painfully thin girl, just before her breath was about to leave her, walked in with a healthy figure.
They could hardly conceal their tears during this emotional reunion. Noname, whom they had only sporadically seen through the television screen, presented them with bouquets she had made herself, one by one.
While Noname was undergoing a health examination, interviews continued.
“I kept hearing she wasn’t a survivor, so I thought it was a case where the mother put her daughter in a capsule and committed suicide together. There are quite a few such cases in Korea. Even now, how many people commit suicide by lighting butane gas in capsules? It just doesn’t make the news… Anyway, I’m really glad she came back healthy.”
It was easier to believe that a mother and daughter, suffering from recent hardships, entered the abandoned capsule to take their own lives instead of believing she had been trapped for seven years without food or water.
Lastly, the doctor took Noname’s hand and returned to share the examination results with the production team.
“She’s underweight for now.”
Is another wave of despair headed this way?
As the youngest PD squeezed his eyes shut in mental preparation, the doctor relayed some hopeful insights.
“However, she’s not malnourished. The child has gained a lot of weight compared to before, and if you look at her blood pressure and anemia levels, everything is normal. The fact that her Restacaya syndrome was completely cured by the major surgery she underwent before is the best news. Additionally, with the new medication and potion for muscular dystrophy she’s currently taking, I’d say there is a hopeful possibility of a cure from a specialist standpoint.”
Detective Ma Beomil rushed in and lifted Noname, murmuring how relieved he was.
In an instant, with her sight elevated two meters, Noname looked down at the doctor and asked.
“So I can keep exercising, right?”
“As long as it’s not overly intense, moderate exercise is actually beneficial for health.”
“Thank goodness.”
Noname smiled brightly.
Having received the doctor’s opinion, she could now practice without hiding it from Professor Cheon.
However, the production team, unaware of her true feelings, could only record the scene of Noname laughing on camera.
On the way back home in an eleven-seater van with the production team, the PDs checked instructions received from the writers.
“Noname.”
“Yes?”
“Can PD unnie ask you something?”
“Yes, feel free to.”
“Have you ever created unique magic?”
With a voice that was drying up, the PD opened with a question.
“Yes, I have.”
“Did you do it alone…?”
“Yes. Just me.”
“Did you register it with the Japanese association?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because there was a reason. Why… can’t I?”
“It’s not that you can’t, but…”
Noname lightly bit her lower lip and turned her gaze out the window.
Noticing that the conversation was turning serious, the PDs suddenly began to pull out their personal phones one by one and started recording.
They sensed she was about to do something big.
Noname and the production team reached a point where they communicated telepathically through mere glances.
[If you created unique magic, why didn’t you tell anyone and registered it in Japan?]
Understanding their eyes, Noname slowly opened her mouth.
“Actually, I urgently needed permanent residency in Japan. The procedures in Korea are a bit complicated.”
“What? Permanent residency? What are you talking about, Noname!”
The car erupted in noise.
What does this mean for the touching story they had filmed so far?
‘Wait, does that have any meaning…?’
Why are the rumors suggesting Noname may go abroad suddenly coming to mind now?
“Could it be that what we did today was all a goodbye?”
No way, that can’t be it.
Why would Noname leave Korea?
There are plenty of reasons…
Now that she thought about it, there were indeed many reasons.
* * *
“I don’t understand why this magic is so popular.”
Adella asked me nonchalantly while her tail swished.
“Just looking at it, it’s intuitive.”
“Intuitive?”
“Yes. It’s like a game. The person who stacks more gets to be the competent mage.”
What is the biggest difference between games and reality?
It’s ‘reward.’
In games, completing a quest yields intuitive rewards like experience points or gold, but reality doesn’t work that way.
To attain a result, there are times you have to go through countless trials and errors, and sometimes you might end up completely deviating from the initial goal.
Efforts betraying people happen far too often in reality. Just like Japan’s defeat in the national exchange competition.
But in comparison, the Adella Challenge was very intuitive.
All you had to do was hold on to the magic circle that trembles as stacks accumulate.
The power of unique magic stacked according to the number of stacks, and people began to post their achievements on social media as if they were competing.
[Adella Challenge Success #5!]
[Adella #9… This is my limit…!]
[My friend succeeded up to #12. What a beast-like sense!]
[Adella Challenge #56 Certification.jpg]
-???
-Are you the great sorcerer of Japan?
-What the heck! Wow! You’re doing this in World Oa;;
-That’s completely unfair! Totally cheating!
-Games don’t treat it as reality.
-This guy is a total fraud wwwww
In World Oa, each character has action adjustment stats.
Especially for warrior types, the use of Adella magic becomes several times easier, leading to an influx of posts falsely certifying achievements as if reality was the same as the virtual world.
I hated to see my magic being misused so messily.
No matter how much I had entrusted Adella with the unique magic, it held significant memories of my childhood.
So, during the final shoot of the Genius Discovery Team, I planned to film a proper tutorial on the correct use of unique magic with Adella.
I wouldn’t allow either side to spoil it beforehand, so it would be released in line with the broadcast time of the Genius Discovery Team.
Delaying it until next Wednesday made me quite uneasy.
“Let’s turn the assist system off, Adella.”
“Turn it all off? Then I don’t think I could manage even ten.”
“I’ll do it up to fifty. If not, until I can.”
“5… 50?”
“Camera crew, we’re all set!”
After dispelling the misconception that the production team had about me leaving Korea for Japan, I briefly explained my circumstances.
The only country that would officially accept Adella as a citizen was Japan.
Even though they still seemed unconvinced about why I was transferring copyright of unique magic, what could be done about it?
“Hello, I’m Noname, the magician of the 1st circle unique magic ‘Adella.’”
“I’m the evolved morning cat ‘Asaneko (朝猫) Adella,’ returned from the twilight cat! I’m here as the assistant! Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!”
* * *
[The first member of Safari Dream’s silhouette is revealed now lol. You wouldn’t have imagined the identity!]
Quickly, go to the official Safari Dream channel!
(VTuber A silhouette.jpg)
[Comments]
-Cat?
-Is it a serval for a safari?
-Why does this pose seem so familiar? lol
-Morning cat? A knockoff of the twilight cat?
-That bobbed hair can only be Adella!
-Using the avatar of a game company… Hmm… hmmm…
-Wow…! Is Kariri about to add more controversy again?
-Did the VTuber actually just broadcast as a virtual existence? That’s insane lol
-I heard they invested several hundred million into the Kariri project; even if they don’t want to divide the settlement, isn’t it ridiculous to present an AI? It seems too risky…
-The honorable human Adella is different. By now, wouldn’t there be massive amounts of big data accumulated?
-What if a mistake gets her banned from broadcasting, and being an AI means there’s no way for recovery?
-Only one streamer… That’s quite a rarity…
-The Coming Soon at the end of October is really too far. Why draw it out for two months? They could just push it out right now!
Meanwhile, to verify whether the first circle unique magic Adella was indeed created by Noname, viewers would have to wait a full week for the lower half of the Genius Discovery Team.
It was unprecedented for an eight-year-old to develop magic without the help of an adult.
Even so, it was just a 1st circle, right?
That 1st circle was creating a storm in Japan under the name of ‘Adella Challenge.’
So much so that even ordinary people began to dig up wooden swords they had stashed in warehouses since elementary school, learning the use of ‘Adella’ magic while referencing V-Tube videos.
‘What is it that World Oa is cheating…?’
In the center of a martial arts studio, Katsuhata Emika played V-Tube to watch Noname’s demonstration and explanation video.
What she felt so far was that the unique magic ‘Adella’ was a clear cooperative technique requiring at least two people for perfect casting.
It wasn’t a matter of multitasking; if cast alone, the power dissipated into the air, resulting only in a windblast with no destructiveness.
“Is this the future of Japanese swordsmanship you speak of, Katsuhata?”
Besides her, seniors in the dojo were seated in a semicircle, meditating.
“I’m not certain. But at least we might get a hint about the direction we should head in.”
“If it were another Japanese school, maybe; there’s nothing to learn from Korea at least.”
“…”
Currently, Japanese swordsmanship is too rigid.
Emika, just like her seniors, was cautious not to be dyed the same color, but there were many times she crumbled helplessly against the oppressive education.
Moreover, the society of Japanese magic users often clustered around three major factions, constantly bickering with their partisan logic, resembling a dirty political scene.
[Uryaaaaah! 50 hits! I’ve done it!]
[Good job.]
The power of the 50 consecutive Adella strikes was enough to shatter a thick obelisk column.
Yet the seniors merely observed with indifferent expressions.
“The skill is good.”
“The power is indeed strong.”
“But it lacks practicality.”
“Who allows you to land fifty hits?”
All of them made valid points.
The opponent isn’t just a straw man that continuously takes hits.
Emika finally hung her head low.
‘Alright, let’s clear my mind. It seems I’ve been filled with useless thoughts lately due to a lack of mental training.’
After all, the Adella Challenge was merely a trivial game spreading mainly on TikTok and Instagram.
The girl destined to become the heir of the Katsuhata style decided not to be too concerned with minor matters.
‘Small… Small… Wait a moment… Didn’t that girl say she was eight years old?’
How on earth did she create a unique magic?
At that moment, a strong sense of unease engulfed her.
[What! Wasn’t that the end, sister?]
[Adella, why are you already making hard sounds? The variations of unique magic have only just begun.]
[Variations…?]
A blonde woman clicked her black boots as she placed a wooden puppet far away on the opposite side.
Returning to where the silver-haired cat-eared girl was, she picked up the Skiabona.
[If you’re done with close-range, it’s time for long-range. Are you just going to take hits from afar?]
Her eyes curved into a crescent shape.
The beautiful woman’s sparkling eyes seemed to convey a message to the foolish crowd watching this video.
‘Compassion? Derision? Either way, it’s magnificent…’
All she could comprehend was that she had completely stolen the heart of the young Japanese girl.
[I was the one who always struck, rain or shine. I can’t stand being hit.]
