Chapter 6 – 6. Corporal Punishment (1)

“Come on in”
“……”

After taking Ryu Seo-yoon inside her, I sneakily examined her expression her.
It was to find out what she was thinking.

However, thanks to the words that followed, there was no need to try to guess.

“You really don’t need me on the team?”

You are anxious.
Although he held her head high and looked her straight in the eyes, he could feel his uneasiness in her.

Even looking at the contents of the questions she came to ask me this night, I could tell that she had been thinking about the release all day.
Indeed, it is the mentality of Kukudas with a mental level of 5.

“You don’t need a player who won’t admit his mistakes.”
“… What did I do wrong?”
“It was my job as a coach to give feedback, but I was emotionally arguing with my teammates.”
“That…”
“And if you win 1-1, you’re still building your pride even though you bet to listen carefully.”
“……”

[I sold Ryu Seo-yoon. Increases her growth rate by 5%.]

She bowed her head.
I left her standing and headed back to her desk where her laptop her was spread out.

In fact, until she came, I was really nervous that she would leave her team.
However, after realizing that her commitment to her to being a pro gamer was stronger than I thought, I felt more relaxed.

No matter how proud I am, in the end I will take the lead.

She let out a small sigh and then nodded her head.

“Like. I won’t speak aggressively to my teammates.”

Speech as if patronizing.
I still have a little bit of pride left.

Taking her eyes off her laptop her, I met her eyes her.

“Will you listen to me?”
“…Okay. I’ll listen carefully. If only I could get better grades by doing that!”

It means let’s see where you can do well.
With a light smile, I went into my room and brought a 15cm ruler.

Seeing my actions her, she tilted her head.

“What are you going to do?”
“Education. Since you said you will listen to me from now on, I hope you will follow me well in my special training.”
“Special education?”

I explained to her with her questioning look on her face.

“Every day from now on, after lunch and before practice starts, I will have five one-on-one matches with me.”
“Yes? Suddenly?”

She was embarrassed, but soon her expression brightened little by little.
She seems happy that she was given a chance to take revenge because she lost today in a one-on-one mirror match with me, which she simply attributed to her lack of luck in her.

Of course, I did not suggest her special training her with the intention of pleasing her.
Everything was for sale.

“And I will bet again. Every time you lose a fight to me, you get hit in the calf.”
“Yes?! What is that…”
“You lost a match today, so let’s get hit and go.”
“Oh, no. I’m not a high school student, but corporal punishment…”
“Didn’t you decide to listen carefully?”
“……”
“If you don’t want to get hit, you just have to practice and win one-on-one. If you don’t like that, just…”

I spread my hand and pointed to the door.
I meant get out.

Ryu Seo-yoon biting her lips.
Finally she nodded her head.

“Like. I do. But then, even if I win, shouldn’t there be a reward? Could it be that it’s only me who gets hit in a mean way?”

I smiled and accepted her offer her.

“If you get all five rounds from me, I’ll make you hit me on the contrary.”
“Why do I have to win all five matches?!”
“Then do you want to be on an equal footing with me, the coach?”

Again she pointed proudly towards her door and she finally lowered her tail.
It’s a lot of compromise just by offering compensation, but where can I get more?

“I know. If I win all five rounds, the coach will be slapped on the calf. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

A little more confident than when she came in, she turned around with her bright face.
I quickly grabbed hold of her.

“Wait. Where do you want to go?”
“……”
“You have to get hit by one.”
“… Isn’t it starting tomorrow?”
“From today. That way, Seoyoon-ssi gets more stimulation.”

As she strode towards her, she raised her flying ruler and said.

“Take your calves.”
“The bell, the calf is a bit… “
“Then should I hit you on the butt?”
“Mi, are you crazy? Just hit the calf.”

Blowing away her glare and glaring gaze, she had no choice but to lift her pants.
When the tight jeans went up, the white calves caught my eye.

She is ashamed But that was all.

It was disgusting that she didn’t care much, even though she knew she was going to hit her calf.
Do you really think I’m going to hit you weakly while taking care of the circumstances?

Anyway, due to the nature of virtual reality games, even if the body is a little uncomfortable, there was no effect on the physical in the game.
Even if her calves swell and it becomes difficult to walk, it means that there is no hindrance to playing games.

“I only hit one.”

Match!

He pulled her arm back with all his might and swung it.
With a scratching sound, the 15cm ruler suddenly broke and split in half. The fragments that fell off flew somewhere and disappeared from view.

Ryu Seo-yoon gave a short scream.

“Ouch! Fuck!”

She was the one who unknowingly cursed at me, but she didn’t notice me because she was touching her reddened calf.

“Fuck… Fuck… It hits me really hard…”

[I sold Ryu Seo-yoon. Growth rate increases by 20%.]

[Ryu Seo-yoon’s obedience has increased by 5.]

[Acquired 2 selling points.]

Bringing the first aid kit on the side, I said nonchalantly.

“That’s right, show me.”
“Under… That’s Okay.”

She said coldly and took down her jeans, which were tightly rolled up.
If he refused the favor, I had no intention of clinging to him.
I stopped her and sat her back on her laptop.

“Go out now. Don’t forget to come to the practice room by 1:00 tomorrow.”

Ryu Seo-yoon, who was gnashing his teeth and glaring at me, dragged his legs and stepped out of the front door.

In the meantime, I was smiling at her rapid growth rate.

Even though the sight of me laughing after slapping her girl’s calf came a little creepy, I defended myself thinking this was all her doing for her sake.

Now, he has created an environment where he can sell Ryu Seo-yoon every morning.
I’ll sell it out of my mind.

###

The daily routine of a pro gamer was simple.
I wake up around 12:00, eat around 12:00, and practice lunch from 13:00.
After practicing around 17:00 to 18:00, eat dinner by 19:00 and start evening practice.
Then, around 23:00 or 24:00, I finish my evening practice and go to private practice or private time.

It was a simple but ignorant timetable.
Repeating this 5 or 6 days out of 7 days a week, it was no exaggeration to say that I really only played games all day.

However, the situation with our team was a little different.
There was no team that held regular scrims yet, and it was not easy to conduct team practice because of the circumstances of each team member.

A game team that doesn’t practice often…
It was unimaginable to me, who was in the first division.

Among them, the player who vacated the most due to personal reasons was, without a doubt, jungler Lee Ji-hye.

What the hell are you doing, you say you have a schedule all day, and you say the number of days you are away.
I wanted to find out about this later through the director.

Rather, I had to pay attention to the second meeting with my teammates today.
Especially around lunchtime, the one-on-one confrontation with Ryu Seo-yoon was the key.

At 1 o’clock when the lunch break was over, I arrived at the Venus room.
As expected, the players except Lee Ji-hye were gathered.

“How have you all been?”
“Yes”
“Yes!”

Kang Yoon’s dry voice and Baek Ha-yan’s refreshing voice harmonized.
Han Yuna and Ryu Seo-yoon did not answer.

“Then, except for Ryu Seo-yoon, everyone else should practice lightly. Seoyoon Ryu and I are going to do a simple special training starting today.”
“Special training?”

White White asked with an innocent expression.

Despite being captured by Ryu Seo-yoon in a gaming team with no future, he was bright without wrinkles.
She was also the same as the crystal of happiness with a mental level of 20.

“Yes. It won’t take long. If you want to watch the game, you can do it.”

After briefly explaining the situation to them who were still unfamiliar with the situation, Ryu Seo-yoon entered the capsule at the same time.
And just like yesterday, after creating a custom game, I invited the team members.

As expected, the team members filled the observation window without missing a single member, as if they were curious about our one-on-one results.

[Altemanham: Are you doing the same as yesterday?]
[MTG Battle: Yes. It is a mirror match.]

Today, after purchasing the physical coaching buff (small), I picked Artemis and went to the bottom.

And as time passed, five 1-on-1 battles ended.
The score between her and me is 4 to 1.
Of course I was 4.

Ryu Seo-yoon, who came out of the capsule, had an expression of disbelief like yesterday.

“Why am I losing? Obviously, I’m on top of the physical…”

The answer was very simple.
Because the game is not only physical!

There were innumerable ways to humiliate her for just believing in her physicality her and messing with her.
We flexibly utilized surrounding objects such as bushes, creeps, and towers, and selected advantageous items and skills depending on the situation.

Although she was close each time, she won by 4 points by a narrow margin in the finish.
However, this gap will soon narrow. She had many strategies that would only work once, and she would learn more and more.

“You still don’t know why you lose to me?”
“……”
“Because I play the game without thinking. If it’s difficult to fix that, just improve your physical skills.”

[I sold Ryu Seo-yoon. Increases her growth rate by 10%.]

[You have acquired 1 selling point.]

After she lightly scolded her, she looked at the rest of the team, she said.

“Okay then, let’s start practicing for lunch.”

Lee Ji-hye also joined before I knew it, and the team was finally complete.
Starting today, we will seriously conduct team practice with a coach.

###

By the time lunch practice is over and I’m waiting for dinner.
I went to see director Jeong Pal-soo.

Today, as always, he was sitting at his desk with his biceps bursting, and when I came in, he stood up and greeted me.

“Welcome, Coach. Are the kids any better?”
“I still can’t hear you very well. It is gradually getting better.”
“That’s fortunate. By the way, may I know what business you are here for?”
“It’s not different… “

I first asked about the circumstances of Jihye Lee, our team’s jungler.
Why I miss more than half of my practice week.

If possible, I wanted to take all the players, but if it was an unavoidable reason, I was going to boldly cut my losses.

“Ah, that’s what Jihye Lee said. As far as I know, my family is very poor, so I know that I have a part-time job.”
“A part-time job?”

A pro gamer earns a living by working part-time?
It was an unexpected reason because being a pro gamer is a job that requires you to spend more time practicing than you think.

“As far as I know, our contract salary is not low.”
“Yes. You’re right. As far as I know, it is a high amount at the level of our players. But perhaps Jihye Lee has a lot of family to support, so the amount she is receiving now is not enough.”
“Family?”
“Since my parents aren’t home, I live with my three younger siblings. They are all minors.”

You’re living life hard mode.
I swallowed sympathy, always reminding myself of a dry tone with a cold expression.

It was pitiful, but it’s not a good way to blindly help.

Soon, a good plan came to mind.
However, in order to implement this plan, it was right to take care of Ryu Seo-yoon first.

If you care about both girls, you might not catch even a single rabbit properly.

“Thank you for your words. And the next question. Can we change the name of our team?”
“Your name? You just talked well. Even if you don’t, there is a name that the boss changed.”

In an instant, the face of a perverted gorilla came to mind.
What? You already changed your name?
Without asking for my opinion?

I asked about the name change.

“What did you change to?”
“They said, ‘Battle Angels.'”
“Her…”

A name not much different from the existing Pink Angels.
I think I decided to add my pro gamer nickname, ‘Battle’, to it.

However, it is only in this way that there is room for an ambiguous interpretation as if they were the angels of ‘Battle’.
Why did my father change his name as if he had waited?

‘Who knows what that gorilla is thinking. I’ll have to ask later.’

I didn’t have any ill feelings toward my father, but he wasn’t a face I wanted to see often, so he decided to put it off until I had a chance to meet him separately.
And finally, I got to the point where I came to meet director Jeong Pal-soo.

“And finally…”

Hold the paper you brought in front of him.
Receiving the paper with a face full of curiosity, he curled his lips and let out an exclamation.

“Five. Are you leaving already?”
“There is no reason not to leave.”

What I handed to him was the poster for the tournament.
It was a team where nothing worked properly, but it wasn’t that we lost money by going to the tournament.
That’s why I decided to participate in the first competition right away.
