Chapter 14 Samurai Hearts – Reaction (3)

‘Godtoria’ has sponsored ‘10000 won’!

[iTube Video]

“Oh, Godtoria! Thank you for the 10,000 won sponsorship! A video sponsorship? Then let’s watch this together, everyone!”

Individual broadcaster ‘Dum Dum’.

He was a major broadcaster who could attract over 20,000 viewers just by turning on the broadcast, even without actively promoting it.

As with most individual broadcasters, VR games were his main content, and he was known for having relatively outstanding physical skills among broadcasters.

His noticeably excellent gaming skills played a significant role in making his broadcast famous!

“Oh, is this Samurai Hearts?”

There was one thing he had been constantly boasting about lately.

“K, I’m someone who was told ‘not bad’ by the Sword Saint, and you’re sponsoring me with this kind of video.”

That was the fact that he had heard the words “Not bad” from the Sword Saint of Samurai Hearts.

-Here comes the conceited Dum Dum again lol

-Who brought Samurai Hearts?

In the Samurai Hearts tutorial, the Sword Saint Kato checks the player’s skills and gives various comments as if evaluating them.

If the level is low, he says “How pathetic.” – the score Victoria received – if they do reasonably well, he says “Not bad,” and if they have truly exceptional skills, he says “Truly excellent, warrior!”

Naturally, those who were confident in their physical abilities tried to challenge the Sword Saint to receive a higher evaluation.

Dum Dum was no exception.

However, one thing that set him apart from others was the number of attempts.

The number of times he challenged the Sword Saint.

He stubbornly re-challenged the Sword Saint over 50 times before finally hearing the words “Not bad!”

-Yeah, next 50 tries

-Did you run away as soon as you heard “Not bad”?

-You’re pathetic, Dum Dum

It was unlikely that viewers who remembered the time when he kept challenging, challenging, and challenging the same boss would have anything good to say.

However, Dum Dum was not discouraged by the viewers’ reactions.

He paused the video for a moment and said with a serious expression.

“Everyone. It’s not about how many tries it takes. What matters is that you eventually succeed. If you had given up, you wouldn’t have accomplished something you couldn’t do, right?”

-That’s true

-He’s not wrong

“In that sense, Samurai Hearts should honestly change its name to Samurai Dum Dum. I’m a samurai who’s been recognized by the Sword Saint, so I deserve that much!”

-No, that’s a bit much;;

-Even as a Dum Dum fan, I can’t agree with this

-Here he goes again with the over-the-top jokes

Dum Dum quickly averted his eyes from the viewers’ chat and resumed the video.

The way he quickly avoided the viewers’ negative comments showed the skill that made him a major broadcaster.

“Judging by the background, it looks like the tutorial?”

The video sent by ‘Godtoria’ started on the tutorial hill.

On the hill surrounded by soldiers of the Nagamatsu Clan, the Sword Saint Kato in a black yukata and a person in black armor stood facing each other, glaring.

A heavy tension filled the air between them.

Some of the viewers watching the video with Dum Dum realized who the protagonist of the video was and exclaimed in admiration.

-This is that one

-It’s Kratos’s video

-? Who’s that, you weeb?

“Kratos? Is the person in this video Kratos? I haven’t heard of him… Is he famous?”

-Not really famous

-Victoria’s younger brother. Doesn’t do personal broadcasts

-Wow! Sword Saint Kratos!

-You don’t know Sword Saint Kratos lol

Dum Dum, who was looking at the viewers’ chat room, tilted his head.

He was puzzled by the fact that the viewers knew Victoria’s younger brother, who didn’t do personal broadcasts.

Above all, Sword Saint Kratos.

After Samurai Hearts became a hot content, the word Sword Saint would have become a term referring to Hatsuragi Kato within Trikey.

However, as the video progressed, such doubts disappeared without a trace.

From the clash of gauging each other’s swords to the increasingly intense battle, and even the ending where he achieved victory despite his sword being broken!

“No, this is…”

Dum Dum’s mouth dropped open at the sight of Kratos looking down at the defeated and fallen Sword Saint.

He had challenged the Sword Saint 50 times.

Naturally, he knew very well how monstrous a boss the Sword Saint Kato was.

What was the Sword Saint he had faced like?

It was a boss who seemed impossible to defeat, with swordsmanship befitting the title of Sword Saint and unreasonably unfair judgment intertwined.

It certainly should have been like that…

“Is this some kind of manipulated video?”

That’s how far his thoughts went!

It was closer to a statement born out of disbelief than suspicion of manipulation.

-Nope, not manipulated. It’s an actual live broadcast video

-It was a big deal at VGC too

-I heard it’s the first strategy of the tutorial Sword Saint

“First strategy?”! Wow, that’s crazy. I can’t even imagine how many tries it took to succeed. I almost went crazy when I tried over 50 times.”

Dum Dum shuddered as he recalled the time when he challenged the Sword Saint Kato over 50 times.

‘HeIsAGod’ has sponsored ‘1000 won’!

[Info 1) Succeeded on the first try]

“Huh! On the first try? You succeeded right away on the first try? How is that even possible?”

-Really? Is that real? lol

-First try is right lololol

-He just sliced him up in one go lol

The surprise didn’t end there.

‘HeIsAGod’ has sponsored ‘1000 won’!

[Info 2) Kratos had never played a VR game before Samurai Hearts]

“Come on, that’s a lie, right? How can you do that if you’ve never played a VR game before? The device optimization wouldn’t even be set up.”

Dum Dum waved his hand as if telling them not to lie.

Even if he could believe the first try, it was hard to believe that he was someone who was playing VR games for the first time.

As if refuting his thoughts, a video sponsorship was immediately sent.

‘ToGodInOneHit’ has sponsored ‘2000 won’!

[iTube Video]

The content of the video that came with the sponsorship was short.

Victoria and Kratos appeared in the video, and it ended with showing only one line of Kratos’s game history, ‘No data’.

However, just because the video was short didn’t mean its impact was short.

Even though the video was over, Dum Dum didn’t say anything.

He just stood there with his mouth open and watched the video again, but that didn’t change the content of the video.

“Is this real…”

-Is that even possible?

-But it actually happened

-Ah, that’s called ‘talent’

Dum Dum, who had been spacing out, quickly regained his senses.

It was certainly an amazing thing, but there were times when beings who surpassed the thinking of ordinary people appeared in the world.

The so-called geniuses.

If you thought of Kratos as one of those types, it wasn’t that unusual.

‘Hmm… Or is it? Even so, that seems a bit too much.’

What are the chances that someone playing a VR game for the first time would play Samurai Hearts as their first game and defeat the Sword Saint they met there so perfectly?

Even without calculating it, it was obvious that an absurd probability would come out.

Dum Dum’s eyes sparkled brightly as he pondered for a moment.

‘This is an opportunity.’

One of the reasons Dum Dum’s broadcast became popular was because of his relatively outstanding physical skills.

But that wasn’t everything.

Even though there were many people with better physical skills than him, they didn’t become major broadcasters like Dum Dum.

Dum Dum had one weapon that set him apart from them.

“This, this won’t do. As a collaboration machine, Dum Dum can’t just let this go. I’m going to push for a collaboration.”

A weapon called collaboration.

-Collaboration Dum Dum mode ON!

-Honestly, this is a must-do collaboration

-It’s been a while since a collaboration

Collaboration.

A term that means individual broadcasters broadcasting together and playing the same game.

Dum Dum was a broadcaster who actively used collaborations.

So much so that he had earned nicknames such as Collaboration Dum Dum, Guardian of Collaboration, and Collaboration Machine!

He had set his sights on Kratos as his next collaboration target.

“First, I need to get permission. Anyway, I’ll start playing the game properly now. The game I’m going to play today is…”

It wasn’t just the major broadcaster Dum Dum who was interested in Kratos.

Many broadcasters who received Kratos’s video as a sponsorship or saw it directly were interested in him.

Samurai Hearts was already a hot content, and it was natural that it was combined with the topic of being the first in the world to conquer the Sword Saint.

Individual broadcaster ‘Kang Yeon-woo’ was also one of them.

Aiming for broadcasts that are easy for anyone to understand and learn, he even made his current broadcast content an in-depth analysis of Kratos.

“Okay, look. Everyone, Kratos is stabbing for the first time here.”

Kang Yeon-woo, who stopped the VR video at the scene where Kratos was stabbing, approached the Sword Saint Kato.

The Sword Saint Kato was lifting his sword with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

He drew the viewers’ attention to it.

“You see the Sword Saint’s bad expression? It seems like he just stabbed at this time, but he’s actually feeling the Sword Saint’s breathing and cutting it. He suddenly stabbed as he was exhaling. If you get hit by this, you’ll probably feel like you’re suffocating. It’s not for nothing that the Sword Saint said ‘not bad’ on the first try.”-Wow, I see

-It wasn’t a random stab;

-That was a calculated stab.

“It probably wasn’t calculated.” Kratos’s swordsmanship is very unskilled at the beginning of the Sword Saint battle. It’s more like he’s just swinging it around as he pleases? But that swinging around as he pleases works. Why? Because he’s swinging it around based on talent.”

-It’s the first time the word talent has been so terrifying

-? That level is just swinging it around as he pleases?

-I’m crying, who’s worse than just swinging it around as he pleases

“Still, I thought Kratos would eventually lose when I only saw up to this point. There’s a limit to instinctive swordsmanship based on talent. But, you see.”

Kang Yeon-woo resumed the VR video.

The battle between the Sword Saint Kato and Kratos continued, stopping at the fierce battle part.

“Kratos’s awakening starts from this point. The Sword Saint Kato’s swordsmanship is mixed with the swordsmanship that he just swings around as he pleases. Do you guys have any idea what this means?”

-Did he learn while fighting?

-Is Kratos a manga protagonist?

-That’s a really unbelievable talent

“That’s right. That’s exactly it. He learned swordsmanship while fighting. The most surprising part of analyzing this video in depth is here. Look at this.”

Kang Yeon-woo manipulated the VR video to zoom in on Kratos’s face.

And when he played the video at 0.05x speed in that state, Kratos’s eyes, which were shaking non-stop, were visible.

“His eyes are shaking like there’s an earthquake, right? He’s looking at the Sword Saint Kato. He’s trying to absorb swordsmanship. What this means is that Kratos could see all of the Sword Saint’s swordsmanship.”-Crazy dynamic visual acuity

-No, even if he can see it, how can he learn it right away?”

Kang Yeon-woo snapped his fingers when he saw a viewer’s chat.

“Good question. Even if you can see the swordsmanship because your eyes are good, how do you learn it right away? That’s…”

-That’s?

-How do you do it

-I’m so curious

Kang Yeon-woo, who was trailing off, smiled.

“I don’t know either.”

-???

-?

-?

Numerous question marks instantly occupied the chat room in response to the disappointing answer!

But Kang Yeon-woo was confident.

Because he really didn’t know.

“If I knew that, I would have caught the Sword Saint Kato like Kratos. Everyone. I told you before. That’s just talent. Kratos is a genius, and he can do that because he’s a genius.”

The conclusion was that after all.

Kratos is a genius.

“I definitely want to invite Kratos to a research broadcast. I’ve contacted him, but I don’t know what will happen. If you happen to be watching this broadcast, please collaborate!”

This was the aftermath of a single broadcast.

At the same time, it was also the point where Kratos’s full-fledged legend began.
