Chapter 38: Thoroughly
—”······.”
The enemy player wrapped in blue lightning charged toward Baek Woohyun without hesitation. It was a charge at considerable speed befitting a build user considering close combat.
Yet strangely, Baek Woohyun didn’t charge to et them. He just calmly watched with sunken eyes the enemy rushing toward him.
—”Haaaaat!”
Huwook—!
The enemy player who’d reached before Baek Woohyun thrust their fist with a battle cry. It was a reasonably sophisticated blow as if saying they hadn’t ntioned education for nothing.
No matter how much help the combat assistance system provided, the foundational movent itself ultimately originated from the person themselves.
Therefore, it could be guessed the enemy player had also learned so kind of martial art in reality.
Otherwise it would have been impossible to thrust a fist containing the charging montum as is.
—”······.”
Of course, Baek Woohyun wasn’t one to stand still and take it.
Inserting his hand before the fist, he subtly twisted the trajectory. So cleverly the enemy player couldn’t respond.
Because of that, the straight punch aiming for the head beca a grand whiff. Considering the charging montum, it was a truly futile result.
‘It’s over.’
‘Can’t even land one hit.’
And most watching the combat judged at this point that the first round would end.
Because the monster called Baek Woohyun they’d watched until now was never one to miss such a clearly exposed opening.
Like a predator who’d obtained an opportunity, the dagger he swung would instantly tear apart the enemy player— everyone thought so.
—”Urk?!”
Even the enemy players themselves did.
The light of dismay crossing their face after the attack missed was clearly visible to anyone.
However.
—”······.”
Baek Woohyun didn’t move this ti either.
Despite the enemy player hurriedly withdrawing and restoring their collapsed posture, he rely watched leisurely.
As if asking ‘Did you even do anything?’
Perhaps that’s why the enemy player’s appearance fleeing in haste felt more ridiculous.
—”Fuck.”
The enemy player also seed to realize their actions looked quite stupid. Judging by them spitting curses with a stiffly hardened expression.
Well, even without thinking from a third party’s perspective, it wouldn’t be strange since they’d know they were pathetic—it wasn’t that they’d just charged and gotten wrecked and fled, but that they’d retreated frightened while the opponent stood blankly, so they couldn’t not know.
Pajijik!
—”Phew, good!”
However, their will seemingly not yet broken even after that, the enemy player crouched low while wrapping themselves in blue lightning again.
It was an appearance where will to charge more carefully was felt. It also seed to claim the previous attack was just carelessness.
—”Uryaaaat!”
—”······.”
Thus the resud offense and defense was almost similar to the first attack.
aning when the enemy player actively attacked, Baek Woohyun continued by lightly deflecting and blocking it.
At a glance, the side holding initiative seed to be the enemy player and Baek Woohyun only being pushed back, but both fighters and additionally watchers knew.
That the enemy players being able to continue their offensive was only because Baek Woohyun hadn’t properly responded.
“Normally it would have ended when blocking the first attack, or at least counterattacked, so why did Hackphysical stay still?”
“Hmm···.”
—for real I thought it’d end
—wasn’t it the angle to take the head?
—watched briefly because it was ridiculous
—ah lol gave them one chance because they suck so bad lol
“—Ah!”
Jeong Nayeon, who’d been pondering Cha Seongcheol’s question, let out an exclamation.
Because there was one mory that suddenly crossed her mind. A mory from around when she’d held various discussions with Baek Woohyun regarding Hack Tour content.
Among discussions held then, content existed that could explain the current situation.
‘Definitely··· it was about how to respond when picked on during a broadcast for hacking.’
The reason this didn’t co to mind right away was because it wasn’t seriously discussed but just talked about in passing.
In the first place, in a situation where even the Operations Manager had stepped up to attach a verification mark saying not a hacker, who would easily step up saying hacker or whatnot?
At most it’d be stupid troll bugs, and discussing that for days would be ridiculous too.
So at most it had been just a few words exchanged.
‘What did I say back then?’
Jeong Nayeon quickly turned her head.
Since it was a story told lightly in passing, only fragntary content ca to mind sporadically.
‘If possible don’t deal with them, ignore even if they talk, and what else. ···Right, I rember!’
“Did you think of sothing?”
“Among stories that ca up when I discussed with Hackphysical before the broadcast, there was sothing exactly like the current situation.”
“Current situation being—”
“I roughly talked about what to do if there’s soone picking on him about hacks like that user.”
—they even discussed separately before broadcast··· hmm···
—hmm bullshit Hackphysical is friends so they planned content, was posted in announcent
—didn’t Hackphysical originally not want to appear on broadcast?
—hmm
