NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
[But why is this person good with other heroes too?]
Just from what we’ve seen, wasn’t it just those who are always going on about Lennok, Jin, and Miriam, and they only play Kayak and Camilla? Why are they good with other characters too?
– Well, that person probably knows how to use other heroes as a base.
– Must be because they know how to handle Camilla. To play properly, you need to know what’s dangerous and what’s main damage dealing for each hero.
– It’s just super cool;;
– Seriously, if Lennok with a great sword shows it in a broadcast, that would be awesome.
– But, it’s just going to be practice mode against you, isn’t it? In their tier, they can only use Camilla.
– Yeah~ Definitely won’t do it. They’ll only play Camilla.
– If they reach Challenger with Camilla, wouldn’t they use an alternate account?
– They’ll probably reach Challenger with Camilla on an alternate account…
– The fact that it’s undeniable is kinda funny.
– It just means they know how to use others but are only pulling out the ones that you found difficult to deal with.
– Basically, they’re a one-trick pony that’s a master at it.
– One-trick pony but still a master… that’s rare, huh?
– They are essentially putting on their own shackles;;
[The scarier thing is that they’re this skilled while drunk.]
To be that sharp even after drinking… that’s not easy.
– Drunk Abyss, wow.
– I mean, even Bella plays while drunk, right?
– From your perspective, it looks like they are just toying with you, haha.
– Kayak should have gone live… would have loved to see it from Kayak’s view too.
– Seeing them do something other than Camilla makes me curious about their personal screen.
[Something felt off, then I realized they came in drunk.]
It’s just too out of context to randomly drop in on your room and act like they’re giving you a lesson on Camilla.
Kayak isn’t even that kind of character.
– What kind of character were they originally?
– Some serious, martial arts master image, I guess?
– The Great Sword Kayak, wow.
– From watching Nicang’s broadcast, that definitely seems like a martial arts master vibe.
– It’s fascinating that they offered to teach without Nicang even asking. Usually, this person doesn’t give one-on-one lectures.
– Seriously? They’re giving a great lesson right now.
– Ever since someone asked for help in the past, they’ve only been writing strategy guides since then.
– Hmm… were they just trying to boost their broadcast by mingling with Nicang?
– If that were the case, wouldn’t they go live while mingling?
– But that’s not really Kayak’s style.
[So, why isn't Kayak going live?]
I just want to hear their voice on Nicang’s broadcast… it would be nice if we could also rank together and they could read my chat too.
– I’ve been watching since earlier, but no one mentioned turning it on.
– I asked if they would go live after this, and got scolded by Kayak.
– What did they say?
– They said, “Who’s talking during class?”
– Ah, haha, you can’t talk during class, that’s true.
– It’s Kayak playing the game, so how could they rank together, LOL?
– Just let it be, I guess, haha.
Just like that, I guess, haha.
ㄴ So, you want to see the personal screen, right?
ㄴ How could it have already turned into a broth…
ㄴ The word order from the early days… The broths are going crazy, you know?
– Essentially, this is the second part of the broadcast since the first part was too short and I felt regretful, but thanks to Nicang, we got a second part!
ㄴ Make sure to chew thoroughly so you don’t get indigestion~
ㄴ Where’s the crazy person who does the second part of the broadcast on someone else’s stream, damn it?
*
The education broadcast for teaching the newb Nicang in Kimali was successfully concluded.
Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about doing a broadcast. I hadn’t even turned it on. I was solely focused on teaching Nicang.
I ignored the requests in the chat asking me to turn on the broadcast because they seemed directed at me.
What broadcast? In this important lecture time.
Besides, wasn’t Nicang’s broadcast already on? My voice would be transmitted there anyway.
I didn’t understand why people wanted me to turn on the broadcast. I was so engrossed in teaching that I didn’t have the time to think.
But because of that, solely focusing on education, I believe the results turned out well.
Five consecutive wins. A whopping five consecutive wins.
No matter how much Nicang was stuck in the gold tier due to a devastating losing streak. Even if the other team’s skill was somewhat lower because of the wrecked MMR.
A win is a win, and given the nature of the Abyss being team-based, continuing such a streak is tremendously difficult.
Unless the player has skills beyond that tier.
In that sense, Nicang’s skills definitely did not match that tier.
It wasn’t just because I was being nice as the teacher; objectively speaking, that was the case.
With this level of skill, I think…
“Isn’t it sufficient to climb up to… Diamond?”
“D-Diamond?”
Even with somewhat slurred pronunciation, Nicang understood perfectly and responded with a happy voice.
Can it really be that great? Then again, she said she was a newbie who just started in the Abyss.
The moment one reaches a high tier in any game is unforgettable.
Diamond is definitely worthy of being called high tier. There are countless others sitting below it.
Considering that, Nicang’s talent is indeed remarkably outstanding.
I never expected to see results so quickly, even as the teacher.
In the past, I might have been jealous of such talent, but now, I felt nothing. Is this what having peace of mind feels like…?
“Hehe.”
A small, ridiculous laugh escaped.
It’s not peace of mind; it must be the balance in my wallet.
Thinking of the money I received today, or rather since it’s past midnight, yesterday’s money, made me feel good again.
Feeling good, I drink a feel-good beverage, which makes me feel better, and then thoughts of donations come to mind, and then again…
“Ah, okay.”
Nican’s words interrupted the endless stream of thoughts, causing me to respond in a slightly drawn-out manner. My tongue keeps tripping over itself. I’m not drunk, but my pronunciation is slipping. At this rate, I’ll really sound drunk. I’m still perfectly fine. There’s no way someone can get drunk after just a few cans of beer—
“I’m going to head out now. I’ve learned a lot thanks to you. Thank you so much for today!”
“Ah, yes. Thank you for your hard work, Nican.”
What a well-mannered student. Bright and polite with her greetings, too.
She might not see it, but I smiled with satisfaction and gave a thumbs-up to the screen.
Thus, after wrapping up our goodbye as teacher and student, Nican’s broadcast ended, and I was about to get up from my computer.
[Are you really just going to leave like this?]
[Kayak, turn on the broadcast! Kayak, turn on the broadcast!]
[Please at least stay a little longer ㅠㅠ]
[The dawn without unnie is too cold….]
[It’s hilarious seeing everyone panic like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
The chat exploded like a dam bursting as the broadcast ended.
I had intentionally ignored and muted the chat. To avoid disrupting the education process, I had asked Nican to ensure that people could only chat about me and my broadcast briefly.
The viewers who saw a few people get reprimanded adhered to my intention and strictly chatted about Camilla and Nican during the lesson.
It seems they genuinely wanted my broadcast.
Not expecting such a heated reaction, I felt a bit flustered but soon nodded.
– Guys.
– Are you just going to leave for a moment?
Well, if that’s the case… I guess I should at least chat a bit before leaving.
I couldn’t just kick out those who had waited for me and listened to my request not to chatter during class.

30 minutes, that should be just enough.
I pressed the start broadcast button, went to the refrigerator to grab a beer, and by the time I returned, people had already started coming in.
[Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak!]
[I really enjoyed the second part ^^ Is this the start of the third part?]
[Kayak’s form is insane!]
[Please play a match with Greatsword Lennok ㅠㅠ]
[Turn on the mic! Turn on the mic! Turn on the mic! Turn on the mic!]
[Unnie, have you been drinking?]
Screech—
The chat, each person sharing different stories, was quite a treat. It was the perfect snack to go with my beer.
Just sitting back, drinking my beer, and watching their chats wouldn’t be a bad way to spend my time.
Well, I guess broadcasting is a must since I’ve gathered people.
I was just about to put down my beer and turn on the mic.
But, by sheer coincidence—or maybe it was the alcohol—I momentarily lost grip on the beer can in my superhumanly skilled hands.
“Oops.”
Fortunately, I avoided spilling it on the computer or keyboard, but now I had to deal with cleaning up the puddle on the floor.
I felt a pang of regret over the spilled beer as I scrubbed the floor with a wet towel several times.
About ten minutes later, I returned to the room and sat in front of the computer.
The chat room had become amusing in a different way than before.
[Where are you, unnie… where are you, unnie… where are you, unnie…]
[Turn on the mic, ugh!]
[That’s not a fair rate, right? LOL]
[Hurry up and someone donate!]
[Heh… If you keep doing business like this, well, I can’t help but donate.]
[Seems like you’ve already got a taste for money.]
…Money taste?
I was puzzled for a moment, then quickly assessed the situation.
So, the issue was the donations that had come in while I briefly left my seat.
[Kayak-nim donated 10,000 won!]
– Please let us hear your voice.
<3rd Broadcast-nim donated 10,000 won!>
– So what is the 3rd broadcast?
[Mic-Off-nim donated 10,000 won!]
– Teacher, say something like, haha;;
Couldn’t they just think I stepped out for a moment?
But really, it was me who asked these people to come because I was going to turn the broadcast on. So, it wasn’t that strange for misunderstandings to arise.
Then it happened.
[Dang-ga donated 50,000 won!]
– T.T This is all my savings, is this enough to make it fair?
“Whoa.”
At the moment the donation came in, I was just turning on the mic as quickly as I could to clarify that I wasn’t stalling for donations on purpose.
But I was turning it on so quickly…
[What’s up, what’s up, what’s up, what’s up…]
[This is totally the money-collector…]
[Kayak’s mic rate is 50,000 won, note that…]
It was purely coincidental, but there was no stopping those messages from popping up.
Money pig, debt collector, money monster, you shouldn’t start the broadcast like this, already…
The anger of the people, whether they were serious or joking, raged on in the chat.
“Umm.”
I dunno. It was too bothersome to explain… should I just drink some beer instead?
So, I simply sipped my beer while using their chat as snacks.
Maybe it was because of the donations that came in due to the misunderstanding, but the beer tasted sweet.
Very sweet indeed.
