Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 105
37. Unemployed Fleet (1)
Joseon won an easy victory against the Franks, and Spain suffered an easy defeat against Rome.
“Ahhh! Rome! It’s powerful too! A complete victory over Spain!”
“Spain, on the other hand, feels like it collapsed too easily? In the 3rd Age, there was an opportunity to turn the situation around with the battle monks at the forefront. “I threw it away too easily!?”
“Yes. It seems like he was mentally shaken…”
With Spain losing to Rome, a big opportunity arose for Joseon.
Chosun’s next game is against Spain.
If you win this, your advancement to the finals is confirmed.
So viewers had no choice but to be excited.
[If Spain wins this time, it will be confirmed that it will advance
to the finals on its own.] Some people have already confirmed that Joseon will advance to the finals.
[Wow, I’m tired of Chosun going to the finals]
[Currently, Joseon has 3 wins and Spain has 1 win.]
[Who is the next opponent who is going to the finals? Viking?]
Even if Spain beats Joseon, it won’t be confirmed. Joseon is guaranteed to win if it beats Spain.
This is bad news for Spain and good news for Joseon.
Even Spain was mentally shaken.
Even viewers seemed to have noticed this, as posts like this were spreading throughout the community.
[The devil in the interview… Spanish cut without even touching it…!?]
[Is this the devil’s power? España ㄹㅇ They’re out of their minds]
[What’s wrong with them lol]
Roma’s MVP also mentioned this during an interview.
“Pierre. This win against Spain. How do you feel?”
“Maybe it’s because Spain’s performance is not good right now. I felt like I was very shaken mentally. In fact, I think we won more easily than last time…”
An interview that was the equivalent of Roma’s ace declaring that Spain was faltering.
-ㄹㅇ We’re not the only ones who felt this? Pierre says that too
– Pierre has a good sense of humor lol
– Hey. Did you feel the demon archduke’s curse?
-The final selection angle is really sharp~
If we do well in shipbuilding, we can be sure to advance to the finals regardless of the number of cases.

An old middle-aged man with white hair. He is a man with gray eyebrows and a strong appearance.
Chop rock.
Read a large paper newspaper made from recycled paper.
In a corner of that old newspaper, there was a phrase written that did not fit.
[The flame of Korean e-sports has not been extinguished]
It was not common for a newspaper like this to feature articles about e-sports on pages 1 and 2.
The content of the article included Joseon’s performance in this national competition.
The story is that Joseon, which always performed poorly in practice games, is soaring in actual games.
“I heard you always lose in practice games. “You don’t seem to know that games are sports until you call them sports, right?”
Tsk tsk.
Middle-aged people click their tongues.
If you saw his cheeky expression, you would probably complain a lot, asking why they put something like this in the newspaper…
“It’s a shame there aren’t any pictures.”
He regrets that there are no photos in this article.
“If you don’t have a bow, all you have left is a top deck. “Why don’t you post that?”
Tsk tsk.
After muttering quietly that he had run out of newspapers these days.
Chop rock.
He soon folds it in half with a familiar hand gesture.
Newspapers that are finished usually go into the trash can.
If recycled, it could be used as wrapping paper for cheap items or as cotton cloth for cleaning windows.
This man chose none of those options.
He opens a drawer on one side of the desk.
Grumble.
In one corner of the drawer, there was a compartment where newspapers were neatly stored like documents.
The faded appearance looks as if it has been worn by time.
At first glance, the front of the newspaper showed that it was a local newspaper with news of medals from the archery competition.
The man’s eyes linger on the newspaper for a moment, as if lost in some sentiment.
Meanwhile.
Knock. Knock.
Someone knocks on the door and calls him.
“Director. Oh coach.”
“uh. okay. Oh coach. come in.”
A young man carefully opened the door and entered.
“The new players came to say hello.”
“…ah. yes. okay. “Bring it.”
“yes. wait a minute.”
For a moment, Coach Oh turns around and leaves, leaving the door open.
It must have been a very short time.
The new players were probably lined up at the corner outside the hallway.
Will it take fifteen steps?
Between those steps, an old landscape unfolds before the eyes of a middle-aged person.
A small child comes in through the door and nods.
“You are Sanghyeon.”
This is my first meeting with that guy.
He was a blunt kid with nothing special about him other than being handsome.
He was also a bit of a rude guy who preferred to nod rather than talk.
“Hey. When an adult speaks, at least respond. Life on the sports team will be easy.”
“…Yes.”
A new archery club was established in a small middle school.
At the time, it was a hastily created place thanks to the budget that the government had poured out several years ago to increase participation in daily sports.
It was something the world never knew.
“I heard you were the first to apply. “Why do you want to join the sports club?”
The boy was the first to join this archery club, which may have been created for show.
I would have guessed that that boy was the most talented kid I’ve ever seen.
“Athletic club? “Isn’t it the archery club?”
“Yes. It’s a sports club. Is archery not like exercise? Why did you come? “It’s hard for sports teams in our country.”
“I heard that if you do archery, you can get tuition subsidy.”
A boy boldly says that he will get tuition subsidy at that young age.
“Kid… you’re a guy.”
“?”
So is it a girl? Ignoring the questioning look on his face, he tried to hide his emotions.
“Then, let’s see if we can kill each other and shoot.”
“Shoot? “I don’t know anything.”
“I just do it once in a while. “For fun.”
“Ah… for fun.”
Paaang──
The coach still couldn’t forget that moment.
The ‘path’ of the arrow that flew out of the bow that the guy who held a bow for the first time in his life held and drew without any thought.
「You… lied?」
「What lie?」
「You said you don’t know anything? “How do you know how to shoot?”
“I saw it on AllTube yesterday.”
The arrow I shot yesterday on AllTube was at the level of an amateur competition.
“You’re doing pre-study differently from what you think.”
At the time, I just pretended it wasn’t a big deal.
It’s beginner’s luck.
It always exists.
There was even something called Youngjae’s dilemma.
Even things that seemed like ridiculous talents at first turn out to be just a starting line in front of you.
If it was just rapid growth.
There were also a majority of such children. In fact, there is even a jinx that if you stand out as a child, you will fall as an adult. The world really doesn’t know.
‘Of course this guy was different.’
Yes, the world really doesn’t know.
Youngjae’s Dilemma: The archery club was founded by a poor family member.
He overcame all those limitations and eventually stood at the top of the year.
In addition, it was evaluated by critics as a worthy winner of an Olympic medal.
The world really doesn’t know.
The guy like that…
“Director?”
Hearing what the coach said, the director quickly closed the drawer door without realizing it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtt
even moment the entire scenery in front of us changed.
bang!
The players in white uniforms in front of them flinched at the loud sound of the drawer door closing.
“Director…?”
The coach said, deliberately moving back and forth in front of him to get his attention.
“Oh yeah.”
The director nods and stands up.
He takes a close look at the players.
There was no need to ask for his name. There was already a name tag attached to the chest.
The director cleared his throat for a moment and spoke.
“Welcome to the youth team. “Well, you probably already have the basics.”
I wasn’t the type to talk for long.
“You came all the way up here, so shoot, cry if you miss, and laugh if you hit. And then the one who goes up goes. “If you want to leave, get out.”
When the coach signs from the side, the players respond with enthusiasm.
“yes!”
“You’re brave. “It’s good.”
The director smiled and waved his hand.
“I saw your face, so it’s okay. Now I’m going to see it all the time anyway. “Go.”
“yes!”
Players turn around and leave with their coach.
Then, as the last player was about to leave, the coach asked him a question.
“Hey.”
The player looks around for a moment to see if the question is being addressed to him, then answers.
“yes?”
“Do you have any brothers? “Up.”
“no. “I am an only child.”
The director looks at me for a moment and then nods.
“Draw. When I looked at it again, we didn’t look alike. Anyway, the name doesn’t seem easy. work hard.”
The name?
It’s easy to be taken aback by the odd remark, but since he’s still having a hard time directing, he answers again with courage.
“…yes!”
As he bowed and turned around again, the name ‘Yoo Kang-hyeon’ sparkled on his chest.
‘What a coincidence.’
Looking at the back, Coach Yang leans back in his chair for a moment and closes his eyes.
‘I knew there wasn’t one….’
Maybe I’m getting older.
Time flies.
* * *
“Ugh… it’s cold.”
Now that February is passing by, it should be getting warmer.
Hehehe.
Outside, it was unseasonably cold and heavy snow was blowing.
Who would exercise in weather like this?
“I am leaving and coming back.”
Nevertheless, Sang-hyeon gets dressed and heads out in the morning.
After losing against Rome, something changed in him.
No, it was correct to say that it was back to normal.
From his days as a player, he was a person who was good at following precise rules and patterns.
There was no way he would give up his morning routine just because of a cold like this.
Knowing that, one of the writers from the documentary team also followed along.
“Oh, are you going jogging today too? “I couldn’t believe it.”
The writer, whose hair is gray and frozen in snow, asks. Although he had heard that Sanghyun would be working out today, he wondered if he would come out.
But Sang-hyeon finally came out of the house.
“Is there a reason why you started exercising again every morning?”
“Um… I used to do it, but lately I’ve been wanting to do it again.”
“ah… “Even if it’s this cold?”
“If you stop, it’s hard to start again.”
I made such a simple excuse.
There was a reason he wanted to get back into endurance sports.
‘I’m out of stamina.’
This is because during the Rome match, Sanghyeon felt that his stamina was low.
In the last battle, he was less focused than his opponents.
It was still vivid in my eyes.
Sigh!
The speed and accuracy with which the sword is drawn.
A man who deflected an arrow fired in front of his eyes and gently cut him in half.
‘Was it Pierre?’
Pierre.
He was not an assistant commander like Tres, nor was he in a leadership position.
He was just a player playing in the position of an ordinary player.
Nevertheless, he conducted two MVP interviews in the Roman army.
He was, in name and reality, the ace of the Roman army.
The moment I got up close, I couldn’t beat him at all.
What would I have been able to do if my concentration was the same as the first time?
I do not know.
That makes me even more disappointed.
In order to resolve that regret, he started running again in the morning.
“Howdy! You came! “You somehow managed to get here without falling!?”
When I went down the stairs of Daldongne, Panga was already waiting.
“Uh…”
But Sanghyun’s eyes turned elsewhere.
Because there was someone else behind Fang Er.
For some reason, it looks like training clothes that aren’t just for working out, and a thick short padding with a tight ponytail.
“Oh, this is a carrot. Is this your first time seeing the real thing? “Say hello.”
carrot? Surprisingly, it was my first time seeing it in person.
“oh. carrot. hi.”
“Ah… hello…”
He’s quite bold in the game, but in real life he’s somewhat shy.
“Are you going to join the sports team too?”
“yes…?”
For some reason, Sang-hyeon wanted to tease her more, but he decided to just look at it for now.
“Let’s go.”
“Yay, let’s do it! Leader! Now run!”
Panga started to take the lead, but soon lost the lead to Sanghyeon.
Buuuuung…!
The writer and a cameraman follow, as expected, on a scooter.
“Carrot! Carrot, why did you come this time!?”
“Ha… I came here to exercise…”
“Why did you have to come all the way here! “Do it nearby!”
“I don’t have any friends.”
“Ah…”
Sad music automatically played in Sanghyun’s ears, who had been listening to the conversation ahead.
* * *
Anyway, the morning jogging group, which had grown to three, met every day and ran hard.
Panga’s stamina quickly began to increase, and Carrot’s stamina also increased rapidly, perhaps because he was young.
What surprises people who run for the first time is that endurance increases to a certain level much more easily than expected.
“Haa… ha… hey! Is it worth running now!?”
“oh.”
Sanghyun nodded and started to speed up.
“Then I’ll run at ‘normal speed’ now~”
“Huh… hey! hey! “I think you’re misunderstanding something!? You’re not normal, man!”
Panga had to curse his tongue for being so pretentious all day long.
Anyway, the days went by like this, running every morning.
[Chosun vs. Spain]
The day of the match that will determine the fate of advancing to the finals has arrived.
