[Armory Legendary Talent Rookie][43]
I matched with a total newbie in a random duo on Arimura’s stream, but their skills were extraordinary, so I recorded it.
First, let’s authenticate the newbie.

(▶‘Asha#2482’ Resonance (Armory) playtime 41 minutes.jpg)
Can you see the Armory playtime = Resonance playtime?
As expected of a newbie, they said they would use a crossbow because they saw it somewhere, but damn, their aim is insane lol.
(5 consecutive headshots in 10 seconds.gif)
(Explosive hexakill.gif)
(Turned around, 3 consecutive headshot first-person view.gif)
(A gif that makes you flinch no matter how many times you see it.gif)
Lol, were you scared?
It seems they shot at the drone camera thinking it was an enemy.
It’s not even an auto-aim glitch, I set it to the minimum of 5%.
This kid on Arimura has completely lost it and is trying to lure everyone into a campaign lol.
They’re currently setting a legendary record in real-time, so make sure to come and watch.

– Damn, I almost dropped my phone, you startled me.
– Please refrain from promotional posts.
– I instinctively dodged when the arrow flew at me lol.
– Wow, that’s incredible… I was watching, and what was that last part?
– A newbie… using a crossbow…?
– Wait, they’re surprisingly good, though?
– The more I watch, the more I’m in awe. Who is this person?
– That third gif was crazy. I can understand a headshot on someone standing still, but how did they hit without even aiming?
– Did they come out as a national archery representative or something?
– Even though I’ve trained with countless montage videos, I’m still lacking… insane…
– Wow, there are so many hidden masters in this world lol.

[▶Escape from the Sabia Artificial Forest – Clear]
As soon as we escaped the gloomy forest, we were able to join a group dressed in the same military uniforms.
[Is the rescue team still far off?]
[They say it will take at least one hour.]
[Those Al-Aksa bastards are probably crowding in even now. There are still plenty of allied stragglers around. We must defend the road leading to the southwestern ranch as an escape route.]
A scenario flowed through indicating that things were not looking good.
We entered a ruined isolated building to catch our breath for a moment.
[▶Sabia Urban Warfare – Eliminate all enemies on the road until the rescue team arrives]
It was around then that we regained some mobility.
“No… Asha!”
“Yes?”
“Is this your first time playing a shooting game? Your skills are too suspicious…”
“Oh yes. This is my first time with a gun… The crossbow is also quite different from the one I used, so it’s a little awkward.”
“Wow, today’s V-Tube angle is perfect. This is what pure talent looks like. Did you all see? People like this become professionals later. The pedigree is just different.”
– Aren’t you a pro in some other game?
– I’m getting suspicious, really suspicious.
– The academy student could be a disguise.
– They shoot the crossbow like a madman lol.
– Asha is smiling.
“It seems I have been slow to introduce myself. I am Yui Arimura, and I am a streamer who plays various games in Resonance.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Uh… you probably haven’t heard of me, right?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, I see. That can happen!”
Coincidentally, the person I was party-matched with was a streamer.
It seems they are quite well-known in this industry.
They duplicated the chat window and threw it my way.
The text-only chat window was vibrant.
What a nostalgic feeling.
[An enemy formation is detected 500m ahead.]
[They’re at the 3 o’clock position! Prepare the machine guns!]
The second mission was somewhat of a breather round.
Toot toot toot toot-!
The center of the city was engulfed in flames.
The enemies that appeared before us were armed with a strong will not to lose control of the city.
Bullets collided in the air, sparking, and streetlights began to collapse with explosive sounds.
I swept up the enemies rushing towards me like zombies, holding the machine gun.
The recoil of the heavy firearm added extra weight on my shoulder.
With the sounds of gunfire, windows of the buildings shattered, and soon the powerful impact of the thrown grenades shattered the road’s surface.
“Phew…”
Smoke billowed from the barrel.
I realized when the last bullet left the barrel and pulled the magazine filled with bullets.
Reloading was automatic.
The kill log was rising at a pace similar to Arimura’s.
– You guys must watch this in first-person, it’s insane, it’s insane.
– Is that visual ability for real lol?
– Can you see that?
– If a head peeks out, they just shoot lol.
– What’s that reaction time?
– Is this a newbie…? What the hell was the newbie I knew…
– I’m not even sure what I’m seeing.
– That sensing ability is freakish.
“Already 30 kills? Asha, if you keep this up, I’m going to be scared!”
[‘cjdekaskfajr’ donated 100,000 won!]
– With those skills, there’s no way they’re an average player. If I can guess who they are with twenty questions, I’ll give them a million won.
After the donation, Arimura hesitated and kept glancing at me with sidelong glances.
‘If you want something, just say it.’
Even trying to shake off the burdensome gaze was not going as smoothly as I hoped.
Ultimately, I suggested first.
“If you hit the target, please let me take half.”
* * *
A golden opportunity came for Arimura.
This was no small amount, but a whopping 100,000 won.
Even half would mean he earned his day’s worth.
He carefully chose his first question.
“Excuse me, Asha, are you a girl?”
“?”
“I mean, you know? There are so many net-kamas (cross-dressing) these days. Haha…!”
Namye looked at Arimura with disdainful eyes.
– Me
– Lock
– Girl mode ON
– Lock
– Me
– Me
– You promised to reveal your identity, so would you be a guy lol?
– This is going to a downward spiral.
– Wait, are you being this polite because you’re actually a girl?
– No way~
“Well, this avatar is a girl.”
“No, I mean your real gender!”
“Is that the second question? Yes, maybe?”
“Wait, why do you say ‘maybe’ after that? You’re just making it more confusing!”
“Arimura, there are too many enemies coming from 4 o’clock. If I die once, I’m just going to leave the party.”
“Ah, no! When did so many come?”
Distracted by twenty questions, I was about to be out of the game.
Anyway, hardcore is hardcore.
No matter how much of a ranked player, one moment of distraction could lead to parting ways with this world.
“The second question is…”
“Third.”
“Right, the third question. Have you ever competed in any tournaments?”
“Hmm. I think so? Sports competitions are technically tournaments, too.”
“What’s with that?! This isn’t twenty questions; it feels like ‘Call my name’?”
– Hahaha
– Look at how all the answers are vague lol.
– They definitely have a mindset of not giving up that 100,000 won easily.
– After all, it’s not their money lol.
– Yeah, sports competitions are tournaments, that’s true lol.
– I feel like I might lose my mind lol.
A plain smile crossed Namye’s lips.
She hadn’t forgotten the humiliation Arimura inflicted on her earlier when he commented on her height.
Meanwhile, Arimura, who had underestimated twenty questions, felt a sense of crisis.
If he carelessly narrowed down the options, he’d quickly run out of twenty questions.
“Hey guys, Asha mentioned earlier that she goes to an academy. She might be a high school select in shooting or archery.”
“Is that a question?”
“No, no, just thinking out loud…! Oh, right! Are you from the Capital Area Academy?”
“This one is definitely a no.”
“Alright, good! Almost narrowed it down! But I don’t know the academy’s name well. Is it okay to ask by region? Maybe Gwangju?”
“No.”
“Daegu?”
“No.”
“Ugh, why am I so bad at this… Okay, Busan! I feel like there’s a Busan vibe!”
“Haha, no. Do I feel like a Busan person?”
– If I were you, I would have asked again to split it down further.
– After all, it’s among those four, and you still can’t guess lol.
– Still, if I can find out the school, I’d be almost there.
– Asha is totally an elite.
– Correct! Sejong Mirinae Academy!
– A noble lady’s downfall, whoa.
“Oh, it was Sejong. Have I already asked seven questions?”
“Hmm hmm.”
Namye covered her mouth with a fist and cleared her throat.
“Eh, why are you doing that? Isn’t it Sejong? I’m starting to get nervous with this person…”
“Is that a question?”
“Uh, no… I’m a bit nervous, but yes, it’s okay. Asha, are you exactly a student of Sejong Mirinae Academy? You must only answer with yes or no, no playing with words.”
“No.”
“Wait, you just confirmed you’re not from a Capital area academy… just to clarify, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do are part of the Capital Area, you know, Asha!”
“I know.”
“What is this? No way…”
Arimura’s complexion darkened rapidly.
A stream of question marks appeared from the viewers.
He stopped firing with the machine gun and looked at the small girl with trembling eyes.
“Not from Korea…?”
The anxious speculation soon became reality.
“Yes.”
“What the hell! How am I supposed to know, ahhh!”
– Hahaha
– What a plot twist lol.
– A master of twenty questions, holy cow.
– In the end, I got zero information and wasted eight questions lol.
– Harvard or Oxford are also regional in that sense lol.
– I think Arimura has pissed Asha off somehow.
– Was it because of what he said about her height earlier?
– Isn’t that just karma lol?
Namye quietly reveled in the despair of Arimura, chuckling to herself.
But true streamers shine in a crisis.
Arimura went for a bold move.
“Asha, have you ever been in the Grandmaster ranking of World of Arselia?”
A subtly specific question.
Namye didn’t even think to mock the answer, just nodded briefly.
He obtained some incredibly high-value information.
Arimura clenched his fist and pointed at the viewers he had previously looked down on.
“See? This crossbow skill can’t just come out of nowhere! I have a clear understanding of their identity now. This person is either a pro in World of Arselia or at least a trainee.”
[‘Ultimate Seung Hyun’ donated 2,000 won!]
– Didn’t you just say you were an academy student? Plus, you must create a game as an assignment, right? Forgetful goldfish memory?
“No, no. That’s not the information from twenty questions. The academy definitely dropped out or went on leave. That’s my conclusion. Right, Asha?”
“Correct.”
“See, I told you!”
– Wow.
– Arimura! Arimura! Arimura! Arimura!
– What a detective lol.
– Damn, they’ve made an insane deduction!
– Wow, did they even notice the smokescreen?
– This is Resonance, rankers, gather round, losers.
At this point, the candidate pool was significantly narrowed down.
They needed to find a pro or master from a player who graduated from an academy.
“Then Asha, you must have streamed on Twish, right? Maybe not now, but at some point.”
“Yes, that’s right. Surprisingly, you have a good sense.”
Collectively, the viewers narrowed down the final candidates.
“Hahaha correct. You are the archery bard master Veixel, Byeon Ji, right? The first female to reach 1000 points in challenger and join the first pro league.”
“Huh? That’s completely wrong.”
“No?”
The questions kept coming.
Asha was neither a pro nor a trainee.
He even threw out the names of celebrities who are good at the game, but he kept getting wrong.
“Are you under fifteen years old, Asha?”
“Yes.”
“Ugh, who in the world are you…”
The viewers speculated she was possibly a foreign V-Tuber.
In the U.S., many women in World of Arselia exist in the celestial realm, and many are possibly streaming on the side.
But how could they figure out an alternate V-Tuber who hides all personal information?
Ultimately, they needed to figure out who the streamer was, not just guess the real person.
“Well, in this day and age of V-Tubing… I’m sure you must be doing it. Do you have over 10,000 subscribers?”
“Yes.”
“Oh? That sounds quite successful. Over 100,000?”
“Yes.”
– ???
– Wow, over 100,000?
– With this level, I feel like I could guess who it is.
– Who on earth could it be?
– Is it a major company that isn’t very well known in Korea?
“Don’t tell me it’s not over 1 million?”
“It is.”
“What?”
Ariimura was shocked as Asha’s V-Tube subscriber count reached 850,000.
The identity of this suspiciously talented newbie was already turning out to be extraordinary.
“There are two questions left.”
Besides the question for the final answer, this was practically the last one.
Suddenly, the chat buzzed with guesses about her identity.
The thumping sound of the machine gun lessened, and the interface announced the completion of the campaign mission.
[▶Sabia Urban Warfare – Eliminate all enemies on the road until the rescue team arrives – Clear]
The girl, having pulled her face away from the machine gun, straightened her back and stood up firmly.
Her kill count eventually exceeded 100.
A single word flashed through Arimura’s mind.
Overwhelming talent.
“Asha, are you under 10 years old?”
The girl held her words.
Why hadn’t she realized it sooner?
The larger the gap between the real body and the virtual reality body, the harder it is to display such overwhelming performance.
The fact that she couldn’t grow taller than 140cm was probably because her real height was much smaller.
“Finally, you’ve figured it out?”
The girl beamed with a bright smile.
V-Tube subscribers: 10,380,000.
Commonly known as ‘No Name.’
Arimura asked the twentieth question with a face filled with shock.
“Is it No Name?”
“Correct. So from now on, don’t tease me about my height.”
Namye slightly bent down, placing her hand on the forehead of the slumped Arimura, and,
*Tick-
Gently flicked him on the forehead and gracefully moved on to the next campaign location.
