Chapter 447 – 447. After Story (4)
Can you win if you do it again?
Of course it was.
Who is she?
A genius who may or may not appear once in a century.
A super rookie with skills that everyone looks up to.
Aren’t they planning to conquer the world championship in the future and take home more than billions in annual salary and popularity?
For her, such an ordeal had to be overcome at all costs.
[BA Battle: Okay. Then I’ll give you one more chance. Get ready right away.]
[BA Sia: … Yes.]
The dry voice of the other person is heard.
She gritted her teeth and developed hostility toward the invisible opponent.
‘I don’t know who it is, but it’s definitely a girl with a mustache who plays games at home all day. If I only debut, I’ll just be a forgotten guy.’
Excited with a competitive spirit, she gritted her teeth and entered the game.
And she went on to do three more rounds.
She originally planned to play one round, but she ended up doing three rounds because the results were the same no matter how many rounds she played.
Even if I changed the character, item, or strategy, it was the same.
No matter how hard she struggled, she could not overcome her opponent.
When I returned to the waiting room, the man spoke again.
[BA Battle: How about one more round?]
[Sound ID69: …]
She wasn’t in a very good mood because it seemed as if she hadn’t given in yet.
But she kept saying she couldn’t ask for one-on-one.
The reason she was able to advance to four rounds, unlike other candidates, was because she worked hard.
She eventually accepts the results.
[Sound ID69: … I’m not used to one-on-one yet… Just a little more practice and it’s nothing. I’m leaving like this today…]
However, the way he acknowledged it was a bit scandalous.
[BA Master: Yes, I understand. Then, I have to go to the next interview, so get out quickly.]
[Sound ID69: … Yes.]
She felt unfair and resentful, but she couldn’t express it.
She swallowed her rising emotions, left the game, and waited in the waiting room.
Once all candidate interviews are over, you are informed of the future schedule and told that you can leave.
She left the capsule room.
It is said that the results will be released in 3 days.
‘There are many places to go even if it’s not here. There’s no need to be nervous.’
Back at her house, Kim Ye-rim tried to live as usual, paying as little attention as possible to the results of her interview.
There were many other teams that recognized her true value.
She could have easily become a professional player without having to join a sister team like Battle Angels or something.
But why?
As the loss of that day keeps reminding me of it, I feel a sense of regret.
In the end, contrary to her determination not to regret it, she was anxious for three whole days waiting for her results.
And on the day of the announcement.
She receives unexpected news of her acceptance through a text message.
“Okay… Done… “
Unlike the other candidates, she did it 4 times and lost all 4 times, so she knew she would fail.
But she passed unexpectedly.
Although she didn’t want to show off, she couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth.
‘Ah, did you recognize the essence of genius?’
She couldn’t hide her grinning face and started preparing for her second interview.
###
“You chose this person based on his face, right?”
After the interview was completed, and the second interviewee selection was completed, the master coach suddenly asked that question.
I shook my head firmly.
“No, I just liked the spirit of fighting back even after defeat?”
“…”
She couldn’t refute my answer and just looked at me with suspicion.
It seems impossible to deny that the appearance of ‘Healthy ID69’, who burned up his will to win against Lee Ji-ah, who is the most physically strong among the players in our club, and said it was worth a try, was quite likable.
At the time, none of the candidates defeated Lee Ji-ah 1-1, so she received surprisingly high praise because she did not break her heart.
But that doesn’t mean I chose her solely based on her attitude.
Appearance, as mentioned by the master coach, was also clearly a factor.
‘I’m still young, but time will tell.’
Her cocky attitude and conceited eyes seemed to provoke the viewer.
Supporting this, her appearance was also gorgeous, and even though she was still young, her hair was dyed gorgeously blonde.
If you see it in real life rather than in a capsule, it will probably look a little more fancy than this.
‘This is enough star quality.’
“Hmm… “I like this one more than that one.”
However, the best candidate selected by the coaches was not ‘Sound ID69’.
In addition to her, there was one candidate whose play caught our eye during her first interview.
The ID used is ‘qwer’.
He was quite tall and bulky, and had a gloomy look, so he seemed like a typical gamer pain.
It was hard to get a good look at her appearance, thanks to her luxuriant hair and slightly fleshy body, but the glimpse of her face felt like a lottery ticket that hadn’t yet been scratched.
‘He looked big and shaggy, but… She was definitely a woman.’
Her selling coach system responded, so I was confident she was the woman.
It seems that other coaches focused more on her skills than on her appearance.
Certainly, in my opinion, her skills were the best among the candidates.
“I’m looking forward to the second interview.”
Hwangbo Jiyeon organizes her documents with a smile.
I also nodded and agreed with her words.
Only five candidates passed the second interview.
They will be interviewed in person at the company headquarters.
###
A panoramic view of the school is drawn in a half-asleep mind.
And the sound of ridicule can be heard within it.
“Look at the size. “If I fight, I think I’ll lose.”
“Hey, long legs! “I think I’ll roll around if I get a little fatter.”
“You should take a shower… No. Just live like that.”
Now her black dolls, whose faces I can’t even remember, surround her and insult her.
It was a dream she had every time, but she still felt bad.
After staring blankly into her dark room for a moment, she gets up from her bed.
It’s already 2 PM.
But to her, it was like 8 o’clock in the morning.
‘I have to play games.’
Having just turned 20, she naturally took control of her body with her capsules.
It was a game I chose as an escape during my school days, but my skills weren’t bad.
Even though he is an amateur, he is capable of being given the challenger tier.
These days, it is safe to say that any challenger on the Korean server will inevitably become a pro as long as there is no controversy.
The professional league was growing in size, and the title of ranker on the Korean server was huge.
‘But after all, a professional… ‘
However, she never dreamed of becoming a professional.
I just played games every day in the corner of my room, picking at the wounds of the past.
However, an incident occurred that changed her mind.
It was the hosting of the World Championship.
She was a fan of professional games and tended to keep an eye on her ACK.
From the emergence of the supernova-like Battle Angels to the struggles of MTG, the traditional powerhouse of ACK.
Personally, I thought this ACK’s summer season was legendary.
But this is the World Championship they are participating in.
It was an event she could never miss.
‘The professional world is truly amazing… I’m like that too… ‘
And watching her World Championships made her realize for the first time that she wanted to become a pro, too.
She also wanted to play a heart-pounding match with her like-minded teammates.
‘Then… What should I do first?’
When I searched the Internet, I came across an announcement that a sister team for Battle Angels was being selected.
From then on, she seriously worked on her solo queue and worked hard on her professional preparation.
She was really surprised when she passed the document screening, and was so happy when she heard that she had passed the first interview.
‘If you pass the second interview, you can join Battle Angels…’ Can I actually see it?’
In reality, she wasn’t watching Battle Angels, she was joining that sister team, but the details didn’t matter.
What mattered was that her heart, which had been dead since her school days, began to beat again.
But soon she faced a serious problem.
She hadn’t left her room for quite some time, so even going out was a challenge.
Still, she had something she wanted to do for the first time, and she couldn’t give up.
She carefully opened the door and came out into the living room.
The living room was quiet, but it was a place of fear for her.
Her heart pounded with fear as if her enemy had entered the bush within her jungle.
She quickly headed to her bathroom and looked at her mirror for the first time in a long time.
Long, shaggy hair.
For a woman, she’s big.
Her clothes and hands and feet that were dirty due to lack of maintenance caught her eye.
She wanted to go back to her room, her own home, right now, but that wouldn’t be possible today.
‘Me too… I’ll try my best.’
Just like the Battle Angels in the World Championship finals who got back up no matter how many times she fell, she wasn’t about to give up on her dream easily.
But it wasn’t easy to think of what to do right away.
But at that time, I heard someone approaching the bathroom.
She was embarrassed and tried to get out, but it was already too late.
Her mother with a surprised expression appeared before her eyes.
“Kyubin… “
Was today the weekend?
Having lost her sense of the day of the week, she realized she had been mistaking the date.
She turned her head when she heard her mother’s voice calling her.
Even though we are in the same house, it has been quite a while since we have seen each other face to face.
However, her mother is not surprised and asks carefully.
“To go out?”
“… Yes.”
Her mother did not delve into her circumstances in detail.
I was willing to teach my daughter how to fly for the sake of her finally coming out of the chrysalis.
