– Oh

– Wow

– Finally out

– What’s the lineup??

– Cactus and San-deng???? Is this for real?

– I was seriously shocked to see those two last names.

– Why are they participating? What’s in it for them?

– Moon Si-hyun sexinessㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Moon Si-hyun sssssssss

– All three of my favorites have come out sss

– What? Sansu is participating too?

– I need to watch the training process for this one.

– What’s up with the duo of San and Cactus?

– But how did Moon Si-hyun hide until now? With that intelligence, there’s no way she wouldn’t be caught.

– That b*tch hasn’t streamed for the past 3 days.

– Just absolutely not getting caught, huh?

– This girl knows how to distinguish right from wrong lol

– If Harris and Squirrel had been revealed among a bunch of idiots, it would have looked a bit weird, so it’s wise decision, yeah.

– Honestly, she looks capable when you see it this way.

– Doesn’t look like she thought it out, just went back from a 4-day sweaty summer trip with her boyfriend and returned, right?

– gasping noises

– Shut up, you b*tch.

– Isn’t the follower count of Demons supposed to be high? Putting aside Moon Si-hyun, even Squirrel and Harris are impressive.

– For real, it’s been less than a year since they started streaming, and both are rapidly growing side by side.

– The Squirrel is going to become a master…

– San-deng and Cactus, what’s up with those two? Aren’t they the type to avoid participating at all?

―――

During the live broadcast of the Demons Competition, the roster of streamers was announced.

This announcement drew much more attention than the previous tournament.

There were several reasons for this, but the biggest one was definitely the news of Cactus and San-deng’s participation, who had previously shown lukewarm interest in collaborations with other streamers.

And the recent buzz over Moon Si-hyun, who has recently climbed to Grand Master, was also a highlight.

After that, numerous related posts began to pop up.

– Moon Si-hyun participating… revisiting 3 days ago with Cactus and Squirrel.

(3 days ago, Clip from the stream of Squirrel and Cactus)

Squirrel suddenly drop-streamed due to the broadcasting news of the Demons competition, showing that she wasn’t in a good mood at all.

Cactus, having dropped from Diamond, seemed to be in a slump, playing just casual games, and got annoyed when Demons competition was brought up, immediately kicking anyone asking.

But on the day that Moon Si-hyun started her hiatus…

Squirrel regained her energy.

Cactus suddenly turned things around when Demons was mentioned and was grinding ranked games hard (still hasn’t returned to Master).

– Looking at this, it was definitely obviousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Seriously, is Cactus participating because of Moon Si-hyun??

– At this point, it feels like a sure thing.

– I don’t even know Squirrel but seeing this makes my heart hurt.

– She’s the Squirrel, and she seems to have had a tough time.

– Suddenly got a boost from Hako and received a Demons invite, so I guess it’s nerve-wracking to do it alone.

– Honestly, it’s not like Demons is just a fun tournament.

– Squirrel seems mentally weak.

– Agreed, she doesn’t seem that mentally strong.

– Yeah, Harris is on the sturdier side mentally.

– I’m more curious why Moon Si-hyun joined Demons.

– For real, considering her tone, I thought she’d definitely not participate.

– Looking at this, didn’t she decide to join after seeing Squirrel’s condition? They must have had a conversation about Demons.

– Oh

– If that’s the case, then it’s definitely Moon Si-hyun > Squirrel > Cactus in that order? Haha.

– San-deng also seems super suspicious. Haha.

– Wait, looking at this, why does Cactus seem so mad? Haha wtf.

– You’re not the only one feeling that way, haha.

– At first glance, you can see through it, maybe it’s pure, but…

– ???: “But I’m not going, you know? No interest.”

– “I won’t go, you know? (If no one’s interested)”

– Moon Si-hyun just wants to steal the spotlight, while Cactus just wants to beat someone up fiercely.

– Seriously, did Cactus follow Moon Si-hyun into it?

– Ugh, this gloomy guy can die already.

– Isn’t that just too far-fetched? Haha.

– Yet, it would make sense considering Moon Si-hyun had a hiatus the same day Cactus changed her stance.

– Isn’t it weird that San-deng also came along but isn’t getting any hate? Haha.

– San-deng is acting normally, but Cactus is so obvious. Haha.

– San-deng is pretending he doesn’t care, but reacting accurately every time Moon Si-hyun’s name pops up, clearly showing he’s interested. Haha.

– How can one handle Moon Si-hyun’s looks? Haha.

– (Still hasn’t returned to Master) <<< Why is this so funny? Haha. - This guy has only been able to board the Moon Si-hyun bus. ――― - The key point of this incident... For real Squirrel is fixing her mentality While dragging San-deng and Cactus into the Demons Competition (Moon Si-hyun's Virtual Model Capture) Grand Si-hyun - I worship you... Pure skill goat. - You again? - Grand Si-hyun - Grand Si-hyun... - But honestly, it seems like they don’t do much. Why is their relation so good? - Seems like they don’t do much lol. - If you reach Grand Master with your fighting skills and save Cactus and Squirrel from falling into despair a few times with your presence and exude that female scent while streaming, you can be like this. - Just incredibly kind, nothing sharp. - Wouldn't you dislike her if it were you? - Grand Gym Victory - By the way, when does the auction start? - What are you talking about? It’s starting now. - The announcement of the list and the auction starts immediately. ―――

[- Alright, that’s the end of the roster announcement. Now, let’s start the auction right away.]

With the voice of the commentator, the announcement screen briefly faded to black.

It was a unique business strategy of the Demons Competition. They revealed the roster that day to lure in even those who have no interest, then immediately proceeded with the auction before the hype fizzled.

Though there was slight disappointment in revealing the appearances of highly anticipated newcomers like VTuber Harris and Squirrel…

The participation of the biggest catches, Moon Si-hyun, San-deng, and Cactus, was kept thoroughly under wraps, capturing the viewers’ attention satisfactorily.

Soon, a screen appeared on the broadcast.

The screen, adorned in a red and black theme, displayed the player roster and the lists of six coaches separated clearly.

[First, let’s have a moment to introduce our coaches. Mr. Wuman. Hello.]

[- Hello.]

At this, several coaches greeted each other.

The lowest tier being diamond, the coaches all had top-notch skills from previous pro experience, fitting the level of the Demons Competition.

Following the typical greetings and aspirations, it moved to the next round.

[Now, last but not least, Coach Sansu. You’re a new face in the Demons Competition, right? Hello.]

[Yes. Hello.]

Sansu and the commentating team exchanged standard greetings.

[Coach Sansu has multiple experiences in declining our invites to the Demons Competition, yet this time, you accepted. Is there a reason for that?]

[Um……]

[……]

[……]

[……]

Sansu paused for what seemed like forever, enough to start worrying the commentators.

[That’s a strategic secret.]

―――

?

??

What’s the secret?

The audio went completely dead. Haha.

What was there to hide from that last question?

As expected of Sansu.

That was quite the reveal, huh?

What a unique person.

―――

[Oh, um. Understood. Looking forward to working with you.]

Despite the unexpected response making the commentators startled, they managed to keep the event moving smoothly.

[Now, before we begin the auction, let me briefly explain the rules.]

A screen appeared.

[Our Demons Competition uses an auction system. When a player is called, the coaches use their 1,000 points to bid on the player.]

[If a player is not called with any points, they will be skipped.]

[The bidding time starts at 10 seconds, which decreases by 1 second every time a competitor’s points are raised, and it will stop at 1 second.]

After explaining the rules, it continued.

[Now, let’s start the auction. First up, Satori.]

The auction began.

Each player’s good plays were edited and displayed while each made comments for a few minutes.

According to the pre-prepared plan, the coaches’ points smoothly decreased.

―――

Harris Diamond 3 Position: Sky Realm Dealer

―――

Squirrel Diamond 4 Position: Current Realm Support, Sky Realm Support

―――

In the meantime, the two got passed.

―――

Uh-oh

ㅠㅠ

Sniff sniff

But that’s how it goes.

―――

Diamond lower ranks generally fail to bid.

It’s just too tight of a competition to spend points on lower ranks.

―――

[Next up, San-deng.]

And then, San-deng’s video was played.

―――

San-ha

Wow

San-deng hello

I can see San-deng here

For real, solid as ever.

―――

Nothing flashy, but basic skills are good. Required stats for a tank in the Sky Realm.

[Yes, it was well seen. Do you have anything you want to say?]

[I’ll work hard.]

[Simple answer. Now, a personal question for you, San-deng, you’ve also turned down our invites to the Demons Competition multiple times, but you chose to participate this time. Can you share the reason?]

[This time, I just wanted to try coming out.]

[I see. Let’s proceed with the auction.]

―――

[Labby 10 points.]

[Sansu 50 points.]

And then, those points gradually went up.

[Sansu 250 points.]

―――

Wow

That’s super expensive.

So this is San-deng’s worth?

He’s a Master-level player, so that’s kind of high.

―――

[Next up, Cactus.]

[Yes, hello.]

Cactus’s video was played.

―――

Hmm

Is that the level?

Hmmm…….

Haha

Trying hard, but is it underwhelming?

That’s just the Diamond level, right?

―――

[Well-seen.]

The commentator had a short chat with Cactus, then continued.

[Oh, and Cactus, earlier it was mentioned that you, along with Sansu and San-deng, have declined in the past, but you’re participating now. Can you tell us why?]

[Um, well… I just wanted to come out for once. I wanted to catch a whiff of people… so, yeah, I gave it a try.]

―――

Oh, for real.

Not a whiff of people, but a whiff of Moon Si-hyun, right? (I really have no idea.)

―――

Of course, the underground would catch that stumble.

[Is that so? Lastly, any words to say?]

[Hello. I’m in Diamond, but I scored 400, which is 100 points more than San-deng. So I hope the coaches make wise decisions.]

[Thank you. Now, let’s start the auction.]

After this, a fierce competition among the coaches began.

Eventually, Cactus’s bid ended up being.

[Cactus, you’re sold for 50 points.]

[……]

―――

To be honest, it seems like he only made it to 50 points due to popularity. Haha.

Cactus probably did a ghost scream right after the interview. Haha.

San-deng’s performance was so weak in comparison haha.

Though there’s lots of buzz around him, no one’s willing to pay up, everyone just wants to throw in 5 points casually. Haha.

Sansu has good principles taking this one. Haha.

―――

[Next up-]

[Unfortunately, you’ve been skipped. Now for the next-]

[Then next is-]

The commentators guided through dozens more auctions.

Afterward, a highlighted screen appeared for the commentators to see in advance.

The commentators tidied up their clothes and then spoke.

[Alright, now onto the highly anticipated first Grand Master. Moon Si-hyun, please come up.]

Such a btchㅋㅋsuch a btchㅋㅋsuch a btchㅋㅋsuch a btchㅋㅋsuch a b*tchㅋㅋ

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Beastly lady, hello.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Btch, why are you on hiatus? btch, why are you on hiatus? btch, why are you on hiatus? btch, why are you on hiatus? btch, why are you on hiatus? btch, why are you on hiatus?

Finally, Moon Si-hyun has crawled out for Season 2. Haha.

―――

Having warned beforehand, it was forgivable, but still left many questions about her hiatus.

The chat erupted within seconds with her appearance.

Then, a shuffling sound was heard for a moment.

[Hello.]

―――

Grand Si-hyun

Grand Si-hyun

Wow, that voice.

Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun! Moon Si-hyun!

The voice was melting.

B*tch… I love you.

I love you, Si-hyun.

Grand Si-hyun.

Si-hyun, I love you.

I missed you.

Why did you take so long to come back?

―――

The moment they heard that pristine voice, the chat instantly calmed down.

[Oh, um… The chat room dropped into chaos for a moment. Haha… It definitely fits with the current issue with Moon Si-hyun. Now, before we start the auction, let’s show a video first.]

Then, it showed the plays from her recent Grand Master climb.

With flashy movements that broke skulls of enemies one by one, and moments of parrying perfectly timed with beast-like reaction times.

―――

Wow

What the

Wow

Is her physical capacity fricking insane?

Holy, putting it all together, it doesn’t make sense.

This is the first time I’m seeing it… it sucks.

Every moment is a mad movie of a lady.

She’s insane.

For real, this isn’t just a casual everyday occurrence.

Is this what it takes to climb the Grand Master?

―――

[Wow, simply astounding. Unbelievable physical ability. Actually, I’ve heard that the editor who made this video had quite a tough time. So many such scenes made it tricky to cut. Haha…]

[- Now, Moon Si-hyun, please tell the coaches a special skill you can offer them.]

With the comment’s question.

Moon Si-hyun swiftly responded.

[Intelligent plays based on high cognitive skills.]
