Chapter 14: The Man Who Jumps Out of a Plane Without a Parachute

—Points well earned, lol. Buuurp.
—Ah, that just went right into his mouth.
—God, I'm so jealous.
—How many tis over did he even win?
The one and only viewer who had bet on the Newbie's win—Key Chain.
He had put in 200,000 and walked away with 2,600,000.
In an instant, his total assets had beco 2,800,000 Won, and he was completely dumbfounded.
‘Honestly I clicked it by accident while dozing off, and it just… worked out like this?’
Coincidence had piled on top of coincidence.
It was simply that his luck had been extraordinarily good.
In the anti,
Yu-na had cald herself down and moved to the Training Grounds.
"No, seriously, guys. Does this even make sense? I got three-shotted. Three-shotted. And all headshots!"
—To be fair, sothing about that guy seed off from the start.
—I searched his ID and nothing ca up. Looked like an account that was just created.
"Right? That's exactly what I thought! He obviously hid the fact that he was hacking by pretending to be a Newbie!"
Yu-na huffed and aid at the moving targets.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With every burst of fire from the Laiki 10, targets fell one by one.
It took less than three seconds to empty an entire magazine.
The result: perfect score.
To pull off this kind of record using the gun with the worst accuracy—that placed her firmly in the top tier.
"Ugh, but the more I think about it, the more it pisses off…… I felt like I could've beaten him if we went again, but he just up and left."
—Probably got banned.
—Yeah, looks to like he got kicked for a ban.
—Honestly, who shoots a Peacemaker like that lol.
—Three consecutive headshots genuinely doesn't add up lol.
"You all saw it too, right? Firing that high-recoil gun one-handed? I know a few pros personally, and not a single one of them does it that way."
Yu-na grumbled as she swapped out her magazine.
Still unable to shake off her frustration, she repeated the shooting routine several more tis.
And as she did, she recalled that person's userna.
‘Said 'WillWinTournant,' didn't he? I signed up for this tournant too, so what if……’
The mont an absurd thought crossed her mind, Yu-na shook her head sharply.
But the possibility refused to leave easily.
‘No way, surely he wouldn't actually show up? That can't be right.’
She kept telling herself that as she continued her stream.

Mu-yeong stepped out into the lobby and rubbed his wrist.
‘So this is what a real gun is truly like. It's on a completely different level from a toy.’
He had fired with a BB gun from the festival in mind, but the unexpected recoil had startled him completely.
It was almost like firing a cannon.
If he hadn't braced himself, he might have sprained his wrist.
The sound was the sa.
The thunderous noise felt for a mont as though his eardrums were about to burst.
And yet these things were what the world's armies were ard with.
It made him freshly aware of just how remarkable modern technology truly was.
‘That aside—who was that woman earlier? Was she soone who helps with the tutorial?’
Mu-yeong's reason for logging in today was nothing special.
It had simply been to get a rough sense of what kind of ga Battle Attack was.
So he had entered the Training Grounds and tried out various things—but there, a rather significant problem had arisen.
‘…… Why won't this fire?’
He pulled the trigger, but there was no response whatsoever.
He had done it exactly the sa as when he had fired the BB gun, yet it would not work.
Wondering if it might be broken, he slamd it against the ground a few tis, but it made no difference.
He was deeply flustered.
He wasn't even streaming, so he had no one to ask.
And so, as he tested each and every gun one by one, he finally discovered that sothing had changed with one of them.
[Peacemaker]
In truth, this too had been an accident.
Just like the others that refused to respond, he had smacked the body of it in frustration—and sothing popped out from the side.
Six suggestive holes.
Conveniently, there were similarly sized bullets nearby, and when he tried fitting them in, they matched perfectly.
And when he fired, it worked!
‘I finally found one that works.’
He had nearly been moved to tears.
It had been more difficult to handle than expected, but still—wasn't this sothing?
On top of that, it actually suited Mu-yeong rather well.
His entire life up until now had been spent swinging a blade.
So when he tried holding a rifle with both hands and aiming, it felt far too uncomfortable and stifling.
In that state, picking up the comparatively lighter handgun had put him at ease ntally.
‘On top of that, it's surprisingly similar to the way I handle a sword.’
One might say—what kind of nonsense is that.
But if he thought of it as extending his arm fully toward an opponent, then releasing sword energy or blade force from the tip—it was not so difficult at all.
In fact, he had already proven it by easily dispatching the NPC-like opponent who had been there to assist with one-on-one practice.
The rest was simply sothing to refine through actual combat experience.
‘If things go well, I might be able to synchronize it with my Footwork in the near future.’

The next day.
Mu-yeong turned on his stream.
—Oh, he actually went live.
—MuMuMuMu.
—Love the daily streams.
—What ga today?
Perhaps because of the ripple effect from Castle Defense—not even a full minute had passed before a hundred viewers had joined.
Waiting a while longer for more people to co in, Mu-yeong finally spoke.
"I was out yesterday and happened to see an interesting flyer. Battle Attack, I believe it was called. So I thought I would give it a try today."
—Nice, nice, sounds fun.
—Isn't that ga basically just Veterans at this point though?
—It's gonna take serious physical ability though?
—Talking about physical ability with Mu-yeong lol.
—For real, everyone else might as well just pack it in.
"I'm not just going in for a casual try—I plan to enter the tournant."
—?
—Did I hear that wrong?
—Tournants are on a completely different level, what are you talking about?
—What's a complete beginner going to do there?
—It'd already be a miracle if he doesn't get eliminated first round lol.
The overwhelming majority of opinions were negative.
And with good reason—Castle Defense and Battle Attack were entirely different genres.
Physical ability being a common factor was true, but when examined in detail, there were subtle differences.
Take, for example, an exceptionally skilled soccer player.
But no matter how fast his reactions or how sharp his situational judgnt—could he perform at the sa level in volleyball or basketball?
No.
He might reach a certain point, but in the professional world filled with top-tier players, he wouldn't even co close.
This applies to gas as well.
Sure, playing casually is one thing, but a tournant might be a stretch—that was what most viewers thought.

—Do you even know how to shoot? You said you spent your whole life in the mountains, right?
"I did try out the tutorial briefly yesterday. It seed manageable enough."
—Oh, very thorough preparation.
—'It seed manageable enough'
