-What is this...?
-Did I hear it correctly?Really?
-A priest is coming out??????
-This canât be.An archer isnât the limit...A priest...
The viewers fell into a state of a mental breakdown as a group. Priestâit was a class that couldnât be seen in the arena. At first, they were curious and could play one or two ranking battles. However, that was it. After suffering a disastrous defeat, the priest players never looked at the arena again. It was absolutely impossible. It was simply impossible to get to the bronze tier! All players said this and took it for granted.
Now Alley Leader declared that he would break the taboo.
âWhy canât a priest do it? That is their problem. This time, Iâve brought a great priest. Please come out.â
Hyeonu clapped and a long-haired beauty slowly walked to Hyeonuâs side. There were many reactions from the viewers who saw her. There was one noticeable reaction among them.
-Uh?She seems familiar?
-Iâve seen this face before?
-She isnât an ordinary person.
-I know Iâve seen her frequently in Argonâs streams.She is Argonâs sister.She sometimes comes out, so it is impossible not to know.
-Oh, I should call him Brother-in-law, not Argon.Brother-in-law!
There were viewers who knew Yuriâs identity.
âHello. I am Streamer Argonâs little sister, Leah.â
Leah was the pseudonym used by Yuri during Yeongchanâs stream. It was a pseudonym she made after hearing Yeongchanâs advice that things would be different after her face was known. Yuri looked into Hyeonuâs eyes like she was familiar with him and then bowed her head, with her eyes curved up in a crescent shape. Many viewers were knocked down by her appearance.
âEveryone, focus on her skills, not her appearance. Our Leah is very good-looking, but her skills are even better. In short, she is the best priest I know.â
âOppa, donât overdo it. What should I do if I collapse?â Yuriâs eyes were constantly in the crescent shape as she spoke.
This was the second time Hyeonu had seen this type of Yuri.
âThis...â The flustered Hyeonu raised his hand and touched his mask.
âSigh...â Hyeonu sighed with relief as he felt the rough sensation of the mask under his fingertips.If he hadnât been wearing a mask, then his embarrassed appearance wouldâve been revealed to millions of viewers. It wasnât that he was attracted to her as a woman. It was just that Yuri had looked like this in the past when she confessed that she liked him.
Hyeonu opened his mouth and said, âLet me explain my plans for the future. Today, we will have a brief look at Leahâs ability. After this, I will make plans for the future according to her combat style. Everyone, do you all know by now? It is already the third time, so I donât think there is anyone who doesnât know the process.â
-It is the third and final one.
-Yes, itâs the last one...
-So what if we donât know?This is the last one...
Hyeonu frowned at the chat window that was getting filled with the same content.âIsnât it the last one? I have to take this step back to step forward. It is a short break for a big event. Yes? Donât you already know that? Sigh, I shouldnât have said anything.â
âIt looks good.â Yuri looked at the chat window as Hyeonu communicating with the viewers. It was something she wouldâve never imagined before. However, it worked well and looked fun.
âThen what should I do?â Yuri was caught up in Hyeonuâs enjoyment.
***
âI will briefly make Leahâs status window public. Of course, she agreed to it in advance.â
[Status Window]
[Level: 201
Class: Priest of the Moon
Title: A priest blessed by the goddess who leads the moonlight.
Stats: Strength: 100 (+230) Agility: 100 (+230) Physique: 120 (+230) Magic Power: 1,200 (+480)
Remaining stat points: 0]
Yuriâs status window was gorgeous even if it wasnât as good as Hyeonuâs. Her stats were above those of the average player. This meant that Yuri also had the specifications of a decent ranker.
âWhy are is her level so high?â Hyeonu wondered.
Hyeonu played Arena for a long time because it was his job. However, Yuri was different. She worked part-time and went to school. It didnât make sense for her to have such a high level.
âDid she enter a big guild?â
Otherwise, this rapid level-up couldnât be explained. However, it was impossible to question her now as they were in a live stream.
âEveryone, the specs are quite high. Maybe a love call will come from a number of large guilds. Perhaps not just a love call. She is so pretty that I might propose.âHyeonu told a joke that came to his mind in an instant.
However, neither the viewers nor Yuri were laughing. Hyeonu was the only one smiling.
-Ah...Has his age doubled?
-The level of humor today is very low.
-Iâd like to buy ears that havenât heard such humor.5 gold coins.
-Wow, Leah isnât smiling.What a lousy joke.
Hyeonuâs head turned quietly away from the chat window to check Yuriâs expression after seeing the messages. She didnât look very good.
Hyeonu turned his head back.âTo be honest, her specs are much higher than Choi Yoonâs specs. They are really high. The difference is that she is a priest and doesnât have the skills. In other words, you can think of her as a nice-looking can. Only the outer appearance is gorgeous.â
-Look at that spiteful tongue.
-He isnât kind even to his friendâs younger sister.
-Everyone is equal in front of Alley Leader.
Hyeonuâs words were cold but true. Just based on the stats in the status window and the stats increase from her buffs, Yuriâs stats were clearly good enough to gain a bronze medal. No, even if they were lacking, Hyeonuâs education and Yuriâs talent were enough to overcome it.
âThe stats are equal or inferior to whatâs needed for a bronze medal. It isnât a big difference and can be ignored. The problem are her skills. She has no Weapons Mastery, so her attack power is low. Additionally, she has no instant-type skills. Thus, it is almost impossible for her to link her attacks with instantaneous attack power. But...âHyeonu paused for a moment.
The messages in the chat window also stopped.
Hyeonu smiled and continued, âChoi Yoon had common skills and Weapons Mastery. He believed in me and the counter skills. I am here. Believe in me again. Skills? They might be missing, but there wonât be a problem gaining a bronze medal with Leahâs stats. I will show it to you.â
Hyeonu was confident. This was the result of his sufficient calculations.
âYuriâs situation is better than Choi Yoonâs situation in the past.â
It was just that the viewers were trapped in the framework of Yuriâs class, a âpriestâ, and never thought about the possibility. The stereotype was too scary. It made them turn away from the truth in front of them.
-Of course.
-This level of bluffing...
-Isnât it also a skill to be able to bring a priest and then bluff like this?
-Yes, I acknowledge it.
âYes. Keep criticizing me. Then it will be more dramatic.â
Hyeonu was pleased with the response from the viewers. The finale of Alley Leader Academy Season 1 seemed like it would be very satisfying.
âI will summon a scarecrow for us to look at Leahâs skills. Everyone, you will probably be shocked.â
Hyeonu summoned the scarecrow as naturally as breathing. Then he still continued speaking naturally.
âLeahâs weapon is a greatsword. It is a great weapon with a heavy touch. I once fell deeply in love with the charm of the greatsword.â
-Greatsword?
-With that appearance?It doesnât look suitable.
-Shouldnât she use a weapon like Reinaâs?Something like a long sword.
-Letâs not judge by appearance.The gap moe is very attractive.
The viewers who heard Hyeonuâs words were stunned. The greatsword was a weapon that no one had anticipated. It was a sword that didnât match with Leahâs appearance.
âI played the warrior class a lot in other games. I usually used the greatsword.âYuri drove a nail into the audienceâs reaction.
âTake out the greatsword I gave you earlier. It is the best weapon to use with your stats. Probably.â Hyeonu whispered very softly in Yuriâs ears so that the audience couldnât hear.
âThe greatsword he gave me?â Yuri thought.
Before the streaming started, Hyeonu had handed Yuri a very dark red greatsword. At that time, she had received it without thinking and placed it in her inventory. Now that Hyeonu requested for her to take it out, she was curious about the information of the item.
âUnderstood, Oppa. Iâll do well. Iâll try,â Yuri expressed her gratitude in a small voice.
Then her expression changed when she checked the information of the greatsword. She was so surprised that her eyes widened as she finally knew that what Hyeonu said werenât empty words.
[Flower of Despair]
[A greatsword used by an ancient noble who led the battlefield to victory.
Rating: Unique
Restrictions: 300 strength, 250 physique.
Durability: 780/780
Attack Power: 720
Effect: There is a normal chance of generating a shock wave of one meter when attacking (but the power of the shock wave is proportional to the playerâs magic power).]
The attack power wasnât high compared to the wearer restrictions. However, the effect of the unique item was superb. It produced a shock wave proportional to the amount of magic power. Although it was a probability effect, Yuri had a high divine power stat and a skill.
-What are the two of them whispering?
-Teach us as well!
-We have the right to know!!!
The viewers were jealous of Hyeonu and Yuriâs affectionate appearance. Perhaps Hyeonu was conscious of such comments because he stopped talking to Yuri and started tending to the stream again.âLetâs look at the duel between the summoned scarecrow and Leah.â
-Wahhhh!
-Is it a talent comparable to Reina?
-It canât be compared to Reina.Reina is already at the top.
-She also has a melee class.
-Leah is a priest.At most, she is a priest who can fight well.
The viewers who were jealous of Alley Leader and Yuriâs closeness were swept away by Hyeonuâs change in topic. The scarecrow summoned by Hyeonu was a scarecrow with the highest difficulty. He made this choice after taking into regard Yuriâs level and specifications. She might not have a combat class, but the scarecrow was actually lacking considering her specs. However, this was the scarecrow that had the highest difficulty, and it would stay that way unless a new patch was applied.
âThen Iâm starting. Please look at it once even if it doesnât meet your expectations. Iâve been fighting for a long time,â Yuri said.
The audience melted at Yuriâs attempt to be cute.
-Thatâs it.I understand.Who will say anything?
-It is natural that a priest canât fight, right...
-If anyone is expecting too much, then I will go to him...
There were already many fans of Yuri.
Yuri glanced at the chat messages before pulling out her sword and starting to move toward the scarecrow. Simultaneously, the scarecrow started to move like a powered electronic device. The scarecrow saw its goal and ran toward the woman in the white robe who was approaching it.
Yuri and the scarecrow soon collided.
