Chapter 29: “Do you know how to do that?”

‘Just because someone has a slightly unattractive face, they shouldn’t have to suffer under such vicious harassment. Poor thing. I need to treat them kindly.’

‘Second place is still an achievement, but they got bashed as if they were worthless just because they never won. Pitiful creature. I need to make sure to compliment them.’

Thus began the joint broadcast of the two, both holding slight misconceptions about each other.

Although Jeon Jeonseol’s stream was failing miserably, Wild’s viewership remained intact.

Thanks to the collaboration, Jeon Jeonseol’s viewer count soared for the first time in a while.

“Please make sure to read the chat rules. Mentioning other streamers, especially making comments about appearances, will result in an instant permanent ban without warning.”

Wild, ensuring Jeon Jeonseol didn’t hear, delivered a strict warning exclusively to his own stream.

<Finally, you’ve ditched that trash game and started Team Arena, teacher.>

“I can tolerate insults directed at me, but I can’t stand anyone badmouthing Team Fight.”

Meanwhile, Jeon Jeonseol casually booted another troublemaker from her chat.

Does she even want to stream properly?

Answer: She really doesn’t care.

<Hit the ground!>
<Keep moving, keep moving.>
<Starting off intense, huh lol.>

“Hello, I’m Wild from Team Proud.”
“Hello, I’m just a streamer, Jeon Jeonseol.”

Each greeted the other’s viewers as the joint broadcast officially began.

That said, Jeon Jeonseol’s stream was practically taken over by Wild’s audience.

Roughly 90% of the viewers were Wild’s, while only 10% were Jeon Jeonseol’s original viewers.

<Her voice is nice, though.>
<But her face… yikes!>
<Who are you to criticize someone else’s appearance?>
<Wow, as if the chat is full of supermodels.>
<Celebrities, you idiot, not “love interests.”>

While Wild’s chat had moderators and a specific rule about permanent bans for appearance-related insults, this just led more trolls to flood Jeon Jeonseol’s chat.

But appearance-related insults couldn’t faze Jeon Jeonseol.

Because those insults were aimed at a fake photo.

Her actual face was stunningly beautiful.

So beautiful, in fact, that it made life difficult for her.

Insulting a fake face for being ugly? A waste of effort.

The trolls didn’t realize their attacks were pointless and continued to try to break her down.

Of course, it had no effect.

“Shall we start, then?”

The two began their Team Fight Arena game, entering the same lobby and queuing up together.

Usually, sniping Wild in a game would require a top-tier challenger account.

But now, they were in a rare public match, with Jeon Jeonseol—who wasn’t even max level—duoing with Wild.

Thanks to Jeon Jeonseol’s incredibly high win rate, only peculiar players got matched on their team.

This public match was a rare chance for ordinary players to snipe Wild.

As a result, the game queued up in just one second.

<Look at that queue speed, lol.>
<Illegal viewer participation detected!>
<The students seem eager to learn.>
<Educational gameplay, let’s go!>

Jeon Jeonseol, known for her skillful Team Fight Arena lectures, had students who had benefitted from her lessons.

Although the results of those lessons didn’t meet her expectations, she was undoubtedly an exceptional player.

Some loyal viewers stuck with her regardless of her appearance or half-hearted streaming efforts.

Not many, but they existed.

These fans expected her to showcase her overwhelming skills once again today.

<Oh no, her Illusionist got taken!>
<Someone stole her signature pick.>

Team Fight Arena’s public matches use blind pick mode.

You can see your teammates’ champion selections but not the opposing team’s.

This means duplicate champions are possible across teams, but not within the same team.

Jeon Jeonseol’s signature champion, the Illusionist, was snatched up by a teammate—a viewer participating illegally in the game.

In other words, her main character was stolen.

<Issue with reflexes, lol.>
<Does this person even know how to play other champions?>
<Her match history is full of Illusionist games.>
<That troll stole it on purpose, huh?>

“Well, I can’t play just one champion forever, so I might as well learn a new one.”

She had always thought about this.

You can’t rely on a single champion forever.

But practicing a new character in a public match instead of practice mode?

<Aren’t you on a no-loss challenge right now, lol?>
“So what if I am?”
<What do you mean, ‘so what?’>
<Using a brand-new champion for a no-loss challenge, lol.>

It seemed like it would take some time for people to understand the streamer that is Jeon Jeonseol.

<Isn’t that why Wild is here?>
<Fun fact: This is the person who studied Tinkerer during the loading screen and got first blood in their Team Fight bread competition.>
<Wait, that actually happened??>
<Anyone who missed the live stream is a loser lolol.>
<A toxic uploader immortalized that on YouTube.>
<I need to watch that right now.>

‘Was that my stream footage? I need to file a copyright claim and get it taken down.’

The scene had been immortalized on YouTube.

Jeon Jeonseol realized this for the first time after reading the chat.

Deciding that she needed to take down the execution clip for the sake of Wild’s delicate sensibilities, she opened a notepad on a screen not visible to her stream and jotted down: [File a copyright claim to remove the Arena Bread Execution Clip].

“So, which champion should I play? Should I match the composition?”

In team games, synergy is essential.

The champions in Team Fight Arena are generally divided into five roles: Tank, Bruiser, Damage Dealer, Utility, and Assassin.

Although this classification is more of a concept, and champions aren’t entirely restricted to their roles, having a balanced composition usually makes winning easier.

“I’ll go Tank, so you go Damage Dealer.”

“What?”

Wild was startled by Jeon Jeonseol’s suggestion.

This was Jeon Jeonseol, addicted to playing the hero, obsessed with kills, and suffering from a severe case of main-character syndrome, saying she’d play a Tank?

Who are you, and what have you done with the real Jeon Jeonseol?

Had aliens brainwashed her?

‘Was she that deeply hurt?!’

While Jeon Jeonseol simply wanted to lift Wild up and give him some praise, Wild misunderstood her intentions.

He thought she was so worn out and distressed that she was retreating to the safer Tank role to avoid pressure.

‘Even the almighty Legend Jeonseol?!’

How much pain had she endured? Oh, dear!

Of course, maintaining composure in a situation where the whole world seems to be hurling insults at you is no small feat.

“You’re better suited for a Damage Dealer. You should take that role,” Wild said.

Jeon Jeonseol thought to herself, “Has he lost the confidence to carry?”

“Did getting bashed so much for all those runner-up finishes drain his confidence in playing a Damage Dealer? Oh no!”

“I need to treat him even better.”

With no time to waste arguing, Jeon Jeonseol reluctantly selected a Damage Dealer.

To the viewers, it was quite a comedic scene.

<What are these two even doing?>
<Are they filming some feel-good sibling drama?>
<They’re trying to pass off the carry role to each other, huh… interesting.>
<Aren’t they both the type to hog the spotlight? Why are they acting like this?>
<Feels like there’s some romantic tension here.>
<Apologize to Wild, you bastard, lol.>
<You call them friends, but their vibe is super awkward.>

The sight of them seemingly yielding to each other’s wishes came across as either two people awkwardly interacting or a man and woman in the early stages of romance.

Of course, no one knew the truth.

Even Jeon Jeonseol and Wild had no idea what was going on in each other’s minds!

<They picked another ridiculously difficult champion, lolol.>
<It’s like they’re physically incapable of picking anything easy.>

The champion Jeon Jeonseol chose this time was Demon Slayer.

This champion primarily deals close-range damage, but when the grudge meter fills up, they transform into a demon, gaining increased attack range and skill changes.

However, filling the grudge meter took a long time, and once it was full, the transformation was automatic. Timing it perfectly was crucial.

This made it a champion with a steep learning curve, where the gap between beginners and experts was enormous.

“Hold on, let me watch a video real quick.”

Jeon Jeonseol immediately pulled up a YouTube guide on the champion to study.

The viewers were skeptical.

Could she really manage with just a quick glance at a video?

<This is a champ where positioning is even harder than landing skill shots; a quick video isn’t going to cut it.>

<But Wild picked a Tank, though?>

The carry role, which is crucial for winning the game, was most suited for the Damage Dealer position.

That said, picking five Damage Dealers would be a poor choice.

A balanced composition was necessary for a Damage Dealer to shine.

Wild selected Executioner, taking on the sturdy Tank role himself.

This left the carry responsibility squarely on Jeon Jeonseol’s shoulders.

Naturally, people doubted her.

Could Jeon Jeonseol carry with a champion she was using for the first time, especially one as challenging as Demon Slayer?

While she had showcased amazing plays as Illusionist, that was with her signature champion, one she was comfortable with.

“So, which skill should I max first?”

“Q is good for farming, and E is great for team fights. Generally, you max Q first. Until level 3, go Q, W, E.”

She didn’t even know which skill to level first and had to ask Wild?

Was this really someone attempting a no-loss challenge?

What would be the outcome of this game?
