Chapter 33 : Going All the Way

The Nanmi that we had seen until now had shown a very flashy, aggressive, and reckless playstyle.

Milray initially thought that was Nanmi’s playing style.

In a way, a flashy playstyle meant to show off.

Well, although it was said to be for show, Nanmi-nim actually had the ability to succeed with it, so it was definitely a tricky playstyle.

However, they were able to find gaps in that play, and that’s why Milray judged that it was worth a try.

‘Ah…’

[Charging Knight] > [Milray]

Until Nanmi’s playstyle completely changed.

Nanmi’s play changed.

The flashiness disappeared, and composure settled in.

They didn’t do any reckless plays at all.

Unlike before, they were showing a passive side.

No, that’s wrong.

It wasn’t passive, but a textbook playstyle that could be a textbook for snipers.

‘It’s completely different…’

It was confusing from Milray’s point of view.

Does it make sense for a playstyle to suddenly change 180 degrees?

It was so suspicious that it seemed like a different person was playing.

But the important thing is not that.

Why is the textbook called the textbook?

Isn’t there a saying that if you just follow the textbook, victory is guaranteed?

Nanmi-nim’s play was like that now.

Thump!

Monkey Man and the Armored Soldier stuck to the payload.

First, Monkey Man set up a barrier to prevent the payload from moving as much as possible.

The Armored Soldier unfolded a fan-shaped shield, blocking all bullets and attacks.

Nanmi-nim was also within that fan-shaped range.

However, Nanmi-nim, who had caught the moment when the tank jumped on the payload, was already backing away.

They had secured a very safe position in the back.

Nanmi-nim was out of the Armored Soldier’s fan-shaped shield range.

Unaware of that fact, the Racer and Ninja revealed themselves-

Bang!

Nanmi’s bullet was fired.

The fired bullet pierced through the Racer’s head, not the Ninja’s.

Even that decision had hidden details.

They gave up on the Ninja, who used Deflect at the same time as revealing themselves, and immediately turned their aim to hit the Racer.

This one shot decided the victory.

Milray gave orders to the team in a hurried voice.

“The tanks should hold out on the payload as much as possible and die, and the Time Sorcerer and Ninja-nim should live if you can! Or die together at once!”

It was an order to match the regroup as much as possible.

Following that order, the Time Sorcerer and Ninja stuck to the payload.

They were planning to die cleanly with the tanks while blocking the payload.

As a result, all the team members died, and the payload started to move again.

Nanmi’s ultimate ended, and all the team members except Milray had their ultimates charged.

They had no choice but to use their ultimates efficiently to block the payload.

Milray shouted.

“First, with Ninja-nim’s ultimate-“

That’s when it happened.

Bang! Ding-

[Charging Knight] > [Milray]

“Ah, f*ck.”

The passive play suddenly turned aggressive again.

Spawn kill.

Milray, who was coming out of the spawn area without thinking, was killed by Nanmi, who was watching the entrance to the enemy team’s spawn area.

‘Wow, I really can’t figure them out.’

Now that they suddenly showed this kind of play, I have no idea how to respond anymore.

This messed up the regroup.

Danding said.

“Sigh- I guess we have no choice but to give up this point?”

“Ah…”

As he said, they had no choice but to give up the second point.

---

You can win if you follow the textbook.

Who can’t say this?

Even if you follow the textbook, you lose when you’re supposed to lose and win when you’re supposed to win.

The reason for this is the difference in the team’s physical ability, but the biggest factor that determines victory or defeat is the difference in detail.

Very small actions often determine the victory or defeat of the game.

And Nanmi was able to do that with ease.

What is only a short moment for someone is a world that appears slow to Nanmi.

In that slowed world, Nanmi is able to easily understand the situation and change their actions appropriately at every moment.

The biggest example is like now.

Thump!

Monkey Man jumped towards Nanmi.

They immediately turned on a hemispherical barrier to block Nanmi’s bullets.

I have to get out of the barrier.

Nanmi retreated, receiving heals from the team.

They didn’t use the hook here.

This is a lifeline and the last resort.

Following that, the Armored Soldier, Ninja, and Racer rushed towards Nanmi.

Focusing to kill just one person.

And in the slowing vision.

Nanmi looked around the entire screen.

‘This is…’

Yes, I should do it this way.

Nanmi used the hook they had been saving to soar up onto the building.

The moment they used the hook to soar upwards, the three people who had come to catch Nanmi each reacted and started to respond to Nanmi’s bullets.

The Armored Soldier put up a barrier towards Nanmi, the Ninja used Deflect, and the Racer used Rewind.

All three of them were sure that Nanmi would hit and responded.

But Nanmi was not aiming for them.

The healer in the back, giving heals to Monkey Man attached to the payload.

They pulled the trigger.

Bang!

[Charging Knight] > [Hippo]

“Wow! Nice!”

“Really nice! Wow… thanks to Nanmi-nim, I feel like I’ve become a recording device.”

oo donated 1,000 won!

-How many times have I heard “Nice” today? 

-I’m also repeating “Amazing” 

-Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice

And when they got here, Milray lamented.

“This won’t work.”

At first, it was a rush, but after that, they couldn’t help but admire them even though they were the opponent.

No matter what simulation they ran, they couldn’t think of a way to stop Nanmi.

If they were just good at aiming, they would somehow try to deal with it like they do with other hackers, but they were not only good at

aiming but also had insane reaction speeds, so there was really no answer.

I really doubted whether they were moving with their bare hands.

And so, in the end.

“Wow…”

With 2 minutes and 32 seconds left, the payload was pushed all the way to the end.

---

After that, the offense and defense switched, but the game ended anticlimactically.

I felt like something was wrong while playing.

Milray-nim and Danding-nim didn’t show the potential they had before.

And so, we completely blocked the first point.

After the game ended, 4ze-nim smiled and said.

“Ahahaha! Nanmi-nim. Our SOON is saying they’re going to have trauma?”

 It’s been a while since I felt a wall, Nanmi-nim.

[Milray]: Me too, Nanmi-nim. I almost gave you a rave review.

[Danding]: FR, Nanmi-nim. Milray is grinding their teeth right now.

These were the chats that came up in the all chat after the game ended.

Seeing the chat, the corners of my mouth unknowingly went up.

Wow, it’s not just anyone, but Milray-nim said they almost gave a rave review, so there’s no greater achievement than this.

Then So-seong-nim asked.

“Nanmi-nim. But until what time are you planning to play today?”

I checked the time.

Now that I see, it was already past 12 o’clock.

But strangely, I wasn’t sleepy.

It was already well past my bedtime.

I replied to So-seong-nim’s words.

“I’m going to try to go all the way.”

“Wow…”

It was like adrenaline was being secreted, and I was burning hot.

Even though I had been broadcasting for over 12 hours, my mind was still clear.

I wanted to go all the way.

To see how far I could go.

“I’m going to keep going until I lose.”

And to see what the result would be.

I wanted to check.

Currently, Ina Ring’s broadcast was also on late, following Nanmi.

To put it simply, they weren’t playing the game and were just doing a watch-along with the purpose of cheering on Nanmi.

Of course, the cheering itself was genuine.

“Everyone, what are you doing! Our youngest is running hard right now! Make your voices louder!”

-Can you hear our voices?

-Nanmi up! ]

oo donated 1,000 won!

[Nanmi- Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Na, Nanmi Cough! Up! I’m, I’m cheering until my voice goes.. Cough! Cough!]

“Yeah, cheer with that much sincerity!”

However, the hot atmosphere gradually cooled down as time passed.

Of course, there was no problem with Nanmi.

On the contrary.

Currently, the time is 2:00 AM.

After the legendary game against the 3 pros earlier, Nanmi was still on a winning streak.

“They’re in the top 100…”

Currently, Nanmi’s score is 4712 points.

Rank 98th.

And Nanmi didn’t stop.

They kept playing the game.

They’re really some kind of iron heart.

So at this point, I couldn’t help but expect it.

“What’s the score for 1st place right now?”

Currently, 1st place is 4826 points.

“Is this really… are they going to snatch 1st place?”

For some reason, I thought it was possible with their current potential.

And so, Ina Ring cheered on Nanmi again with energy.

“Let’s go all the way until Nanmi loses! Okay! Cheer again~!”

-Hup! Hup!

And so, 1 hour later.

“I, is this real?”

Currently, Nanmi’s score is 4762 points.

Rank 43rd.

As time went by, Nanmi was soaring higher.

Time passed quickly.

Currently, the time is 4:00 AM.

Nanmi’s score is 4823 points.

Ina Ring’s pupils started to tremble.

“T, they’re really going for it! Everyone, I think our youngest is really going to make it!”

Currently, 3rd place.

In other words, if they win just one more game, they will recapture 1st place.

For some reason, Ina Ring herself was getting more nervous.

With a pounding and anxious heart, they were watching the last game.

[Victory]

-Crazy! 

-They really did it! 

Our youngest with this crazy skill really did it!

Recapture of 1st place!

It was the moment when Nanmi’s nickname, Charging Knight, was boldly placed in 1st place in the rankings.

“Wow…”

 Is this b*tch crying?

-Why are you crying?

Ina Ring’s eyes unknowingly welled up with tears.

The moment her cute younger sibling achieved 1st place, she suddenly couldn’t hold back the emotions welling up in her chest.

I’m like this now, so how must Nanmi be feeling?

Ina Ring was planning to call them as soon as they ended the broadcast.

Ina Ring said.

“Everyone, thank you so much for cheering on our Nanmi until this late hour. Really.”

– Don’t cry Ina Ring, it’s not like you got 1st place

-Thank you for your hard work! Ina Ring-nim!

-Wow, but honestly, I’m also getting a little emotional

-Isn’t this the first female user?

“Yes. It’s probably the first time. Nanmi is really the pride of our Blue Art. I’ll call them as soon as Nanmi ends the broadcast…?”

That’s when it happened.

The situation where Ina Ring’s tears disappeared began to unfold.

The reason was that Nanmi’s mouse cursor was slowly heading towards the competitive list.

“Huh? Wait? What are they doing right now? Ah, no! No, Nanmi-ya! Nanmi-ya!!”

Sudden action!

It was a very sudden event.

Nanmi’s chat room also started to go crazy.

-No! No! Don’t do it! Don’t spin it!

-You’ve achieved 1st place! You’ve achieved 1st place! You’ve achieved 1st place! You’ve achieved 1st place! You’ve achieved 1st place! You’ve achieved 1st place!

-WTF, are they really going to spin it?

-Uh-uh, that’s not it, put it down, put it down, that’s not something to spin

Everyone started to stop Nanmi’s actions.

How did they achieve 1st place?

It doesn’t make sense to spin it again here.

However, unlike the atmosphere of those viewers, Nanmi’s expression was calm.

Rather, they even smiled leisurely.

Nanmi said.

“I told you.”

That voice was truly calm, contrary to the chat room atmosphere.

Nanmi’s words continued.

“I’m going all the way.”

After that quiet word.

The sound that was heard.

Ding-

It was the sound of spinning the competitive.
