Punch (2)

Jung Soyoon could not contain her admiration.

"Ah, it's a clean KO up to round 2!"

It was thanks to Eclipse's sweeping victory by KO in two consecutive rounds.

"As Genome said in the commentary, a miracle has truly happened! After Decibel, the dark horse of Team Tri is back in action!"

"In a way, this might have been a predictable result!"

Genome, brimming with excitement, grabbed the microphone.

"Predictable?!"

"That's right! If you look at it from a gaming perspective, it's not hard to understand, is it? Everyone watching, whether viewers at home or those in the audience, are all gamers, so you'll know well!"

With his victory sealed, he continued at a relaxed pace.

"The higher your skill level, the more experience you need, right? But when you take a new skill tree, a sub-skill tree, the growth speed changes completely!"

"Ah, that's true. But how does this relate to Metal Punch?"

"Of course it matters! Why? Because the amount of experience gained is set based on high levels! Eclipse is the same! His main skill tree is swordsmanship, while Tsujimoto's sword-fighting style serves as a sub skill tree!"

His explanation brought laughter to the chat window.

― Lol is this an RPG or whatㅋㅋㅋ

― Commentary tailor-made for Troopersㅋㅋㅋ

― But when you see athletes excelling in other sports, he's not wrong ㅋㅋㅋ

― For realㅋㅋ People who've moved their body before really do move better, I'm telling you

― So that's why Troopers can't game...

-???: Man, this game is hardcore (nomnom)

― Student^^ Take your hands off the keyboard^^

Jung Soyoon nodded and quickly summed up the situation.

"Yes, exactly. Eclipse's skill has far exceeded all expectations!? With this level of performance, you can't afford to underestimate what'll happen in the third match, a face-off between the middleweights!"

"Haa, I agree. If the Ban-Pick card comes into play here, things could get really complicated, don't you think? Right now, team Serengeti also needs to pay close attention."

Willitwork? sighed briefly and agreed. Genome, looking at him, chimed in confidently.

"It's true that they need to be alert. But I'm not sure they'll have enough time. Unfortunately, the break between matches isn't very long, is it?"

"Hmm-hmm, indeed. Now, after a short break, we'll move on to the third match! Please look forward to the showdown between KimKimKim and Eclipse!"

Jung Soyoon brought the segment to a close, careful not to let the atmosphere overheat.

* * *

Serengeti Team waiting room.

The defeated Daedam returned, sighing deeply.

"Hey, didn't you over-exert yourself fighting Skullkim?"

KimKimKim asked him, incredulous. They were close friends, so no need for formalities.

"Look, honestly, I was a bit lax in round 1, right? But round 2, I really fought as hard as I could."

"Oh? Really?"

"Seriously, he's really skilled. I've never seen someone use their left hand with a sword that well before."

Daedam shook his head as he answered.

"Eclipse isn't famous in the Elden series for no reason."

Shoulder, watching them, nodded.

"Plus, he's a former world champion. Even if the field's different, he's definitely world-class in physical skill."

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, you're right."

KimKimKim, though frowning slightly, had to agree. Soon, he flashed a confident smile.

"In that case, it was worth preparing."

"Preparing?"

"For the Ban-Pick. During training, I only practiced with my sub-character, just in case."

"Sub-character? Not Excel?"

Daedam's eyes grew wide.

KimKimKim shrugged.

"I doubt Purple would lie. If he doesn't use it in the female division, he'll use it in the men's match. Also, if the Ban-Pick card was played, I figured it'd most likely be against Eclipse. So I decided to only prepare for Eclipse."

"Only Eclipse? What about Purple?"

Shoulder asked, and KimKimKim grinned sheepishly.

"Well, I'd like to fight him, but I don't think I can actually beat Purple? Honestly, I've never even beaten Triple, so do you really think that would work?"

From the start, kimKimKim's goal was clear.

"I just want to do my part and not embarrass myself."

"True, I did save a little face myself."

Daedam agreed, smiling.

"So then the Ban-Pick card is basically being wasted?"

"Pretty much. Are you finally realizing my choice was the right one?"

The two laughed quietly, and Shoulder also smiled gently. But as the rest time ended and it was time to select characters—

"... What?"

"They're not using the Ban-Pick card?"

Their smiles vanished as if it had been a lie, replaced with confusion.

"Well, whatever... I'll go with Kaiser. It's still the better pick against Tsujimoto."

Since the sub-character was chosen with matchup in mind, he didn't change his choice.

Soon, he and Shimmer were summoned to the stage. Daedam let out a hollow breath and scratched his head.

"That's unexpected. So now the Ban-Pick card's use is confirmed, right? They aren't going to skip it altogether."

"They probably won't."

Shoulder replied calmly.

"It's a shame I can't use my main character, but strategically, this isn't a bad call."

"Well, honestly, your Rage is a little much. If you win too overwhelmingly, the newbies will all run away again."

"Hey, Purple's not that weak."

Shoulder waved it off, but then laughed.

"Anyway, even if I get banned, it doesn't matter."

Even if his main character, rage, was excluded—

"I can just prove myself with another character."

He had no shortage of characters he excelled with.

* * *

Jung Soyoon tilted her head side to side.

"So if Ban-Pick isn't used now, it'll end up being used against Shoulder, right? I think they're trying to avoid the worst-case scenario."

"Yes, I see it the same way. It seems like a strategic decision for the team's best interests. Even though Eclipse is on a hot streak, it's still very difficult for him to beat Shoulder."

Willitwork? agreed and inferred the intent.

"Shoulder has no weak characters, but his main, rage, is on another level. Even if Eclipse keeps winning, I think they judged that it wouldn't be easy to drain Shoulder's stamina if they're up against Rage."

Though the other team's commentary, viewers agreed with him.

― Willitwork? can read the flow so well

― Honestly, even if Eclipse loses here, godple could easily beat KimKimKim

― Yeahㅋㅋ There's more merit in checking Rage with the Ban-Pick card

― Eclipse's unexpected performance last round helped too, I think

― Seriouslyㅋㅋ Up until now I was wondering why not use Ban-Pick, but turns out there was no need?

Most agreed, but one person thought differently.

"Ah... Something feels off, though?"

"Sorry? What feels off to you?"

Genome stroked his chin, glancing around.

"The Purple I know wouldn't make this choice. In fact, any Korean would know the reason!"

"A Korean?"

"Yes! Purple is known as a streamer who specializes in difficulty, right? He's obsessed with making things harder on purpose—so for him to avoid Rage here? It can only seem odd!"

As Jung Soyoon and Willitwork? blinked—

〈READY!〉

At the sign to prepare, she quickly turned her head.

"Well, for now, let's focus on this match!"

She'd been distracted by Lee Gyeongbok's choice. But what mattered now was the match between the two athletes.

"KimKimKim has chosen Kaiser for his sub-character. This character's style is 'Vale Tudo', a no-rules mixed martial arts fighter. Even the character matchup has been considered!"

As Willitwork? explained hurriedly, the fight announcement sounded.

KimKimKim rushed straight in, lowering his stance.

"Ah! This is it! Kaiser's signature 'Tackle'! It's a rushing grab move, and while dashing, super Armor is active!"

"Super Armor? So he has no stun?"

"That's right! It's especially effective against Tsujimoto's unblockable sword attacks. Once grabbed and mounted, it's hard to escape..."

Willitwork?'s explanation trailed off. Eclipse had seen the tackle and swiftly sidestepped with lateral movement.

"Oh, excellent! Eclipse handled it effortlessly! Every merit has its demerit! Kaiser's tackle only moves in a straight line! Eclipse wouldn't fall for such a simple attack!"

Genome immediately picked up, raising his voice. Willitwork? wasn't to be outdone.

"The first tackle is just to close the distance! Surprise attacks are what make Kaiser's tackles work. Now you'll see their true value!"

But reality let down Willitwork?'s expectations.

"Wow, Eclipse is looking totally different from the last match. He's keeping his distance and only poking with sword strikes, shaving down KimKimKim's stamina like a sculptor!"

Tsujimoto's sword strikes did minimal damage. But Eclipse didn't rush.

Utilizing the reach difference, he kept chipping away at KimKimKim without letting him approach.

"Come on, these tiny attacks? Isn't that a bit cheap?"

"Cheap? Adjusting your strategy for the opponent is only natural! Eclipse is doing very well!"

Genome countered instantly, and Willitwork?'s eyes lit up.

"No, I said that out of respect for your opinion, Genome! Didn't you mention sportsmanship watching Mom Queen's Severus in part 1?"

At that, the chat exploded.

― WA! Dark Willitwork?!

-???: Chulnome! You made me like this!

― Willitwurst is scary

-???: You friends with crispy-outside-tender-inside?!

― What's become of this young manㅠ

― What's this Chulchulchuㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

― Willitwork? used 'unblockable move!'

It was super effective!

Caught in his own words.

Surprisingly, Genome nodded without protest.

"Ah, right, I did say that. In those circumstances, sportsmanship was needed."

"Exactly, so right now..."

"Please, let me finish. This is a totally different situation."

"Oh, how so?!"

At Jung Soyoon's question, Genome snorted.

"I was only talking about Severus, a 'boxer', after all. But as Willitwork? explained, kaiser is a 'no-rules' mixed martial artist! Sportsmanship isn't needed here!"

"But that's...!"

Willitwork? tried to argue, but could only stammer. Viewers burst out laughing.

― LMAO there's the counter-moveㅋㅋㅋㅋ

― He was right then, and wrong now

― This is why Willitwork? is turning evilㅋㅋㅋㅋ

― For realㅋㅋ Annoying, but not wrong

― If you don't know the counter, you get hit, simple as that

― This is fighting game commentary, I'm telling youㅋㅋㅋ

* * *

Jung Soyoon exclaimed repeatedly.

"Wow, Eclipse! He's controlling this match completely differently from the one against Daedam! There's a saying 'you don't notice your clothes getting wet in a drizzle'—and that's exactly what's happening!"

Eclipse's sword strikes were doing tiny, almost imperceptible damage.

"Yes! No matter how weak the drizzle, wet clothes don't dry out, right!? This just gets more and more irritating! Look, Eclipse looks comfortable, but KimKimKim seems desperate! Why? Because the time limit is ticking down!"

But even small bits of damage took their toll under pressure. Regardless of the accumulated damage, time kept ticking down relentlessly.

"Honestly, it's not major damage. With a single big hit, kimKimKim could make up for five of those pokes just in guard damage alone! But sometimes, these situations make you feel more anxious!"

"That's right, kimKimKim needs to calm down! He's a bit too eager to recapture the stamina lead!"

Nobody wants to be the one on the run, but the opportunity for a comeback made attempts more frequent.

The problem was that Eclipse nullified every attempt.

"Ah! Eclipse! Once again, perfectly blocks with Tsujimoto's Bloooock!"

Tsujimoto's gimmick, known as "Tsublock", was not a normal guard. It parried with the blade, so no guard damage accrued.

As a result, rather than benefitting, kimKimKim exposed himself to punishment due to stun.

"This is tough! Way too hard! If only he brought his main, excel, he wouldn't have gotten shut down like this. What a pity!"

Willitwork? didn't hide his frustration, knowing KimKimKim's true ability.

"KimKimKim probably didn't expect Eclipse to play this skillfully!"

Jung Soyoon tried to comfort him. But it didn't change the situation.

"Eclipse! Combo before the stun ends! Amazing! The sword flurries linking the skills are exquisite!"

Chained swordsmanship skills and strikes broke KimKimKim's guard easily. The moment KimKimKim, instead of guarding, began retreating—

"Eclipse is rolling in!"

Genome cheered as Eclipse rolled forward suddenly.

"Ah, charyunjin Kiiick! There's no paradise where you run!"

This was the same airborne combo opener Eclipse had used against Daedam.

"Right! This is a real unblockable move! If you don't dodge, you get hit by the sword, and if you dodge, you get kicked!"

Watching KimKimKim rise in the air, he raised his voice. Willitwork? slapped his forehead.

"It's not actually unblockable! There's a way out—you needed to counter-hit with a skill! KimKimKim just got too pressured, I think!"

"If this goes from air combo straight to finish, his stamina won't last!"

Jung Soyoon watched the HP bar drop and continued.

"KimKimKim is in trouble! Eclipse is just too skilled with combos! It looks like we're seeing another upset! Ah, kO! KOoooo!"

At last, the final combo triggered a golden effect.

[K. O.]

When the result was clear, she raised her voice.

"That's it for the middleweights' match! Another two victories in a row! The dark horse of Team Tri has done it again! As Genome said in the commentary, it's 'miracle' Eclipse!"

An explosion of cheers erupted from the stands.

"Sir Eclipse is the best!"

"Miracle Eclipse! Miracle Eclipse! Miracle Eclipse!"

The chat was swept up in the excitement.

-irlc! irlc! irlc!

― The knight of miracle, sir Eclipse!

― Wow, what a godlike playerㅋㅋㅋㅋ

― He already won the mental game, I'm telling youㅋㅋㅋㅋ

― Not getting swayed, staying cool—that's true chivalry, isn't it?

― Is this perfect chivalry?

― Trueknight Sir Eclipseㅠㅠ

Viewers held nothing back with their praise for Eclipse's consistent performance. When the excitement finally calmed, Jung Soyoon continued.

"So, team Tri takes the victory. Next up is Eclipse against Shoulder..."

But her words trailed off.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Oh, one moment. Eclipse seems to have something to say?"

Eclipse, still on stage, was waving his hand. The crowd murmured in curiosity.

What could it be?

"My apologies for interrupting, but there are words I must say."

As everything paused, Eclipse spoke.

"First, it was an honor to face Sir Daedam and Sir KimKimKim. Their skills were excellent, and for me, it was a valuable experience as well."

He first praised his previous opponents, then sheathed his sword.

"However, my duels end here."

"Excuse me? Sir Eclipse, what do you mean by that?"

Jung Soyoon asked, surprised, but Eclipse was resolute.

"I mean just that. I forfeit my match against Sir Shoulder."

"You forfeit!?"

"What..."

"Huh, what's happening!?"

His words filled not just the commentators but the whole stadium with confusion.

It wasn't some staged performance. As everyone tried to figure out what was going on, Genome's eyes flashed first.

"Ah! Just as I thought! I knew something was odd!"

At his words, Jung Soyoon turned right to him.

"Genome? Do you know something!?"

"Of course!"

He answered confidently, looking at Eclipse.

"Everyone knows the foundation of Eclipse! Chivalry, through and through! Not exaggerating, he's the embodiment of chivalry! The reason the Ban-Pick card wasn't used was because Eclipse himself asked for it! He wanted to compete purely on skill!"

The more you know, the more you understand.

That applied to relationships as well.

"And now, Eclipse is forfeiting for Purple's sake. He wants there to be absolutely no interference in the duel with Purple! After all, isn't this a clash of the Conqueror and the genius!?"

Genome, despite not hearing the story directly, inferred their intentions.

"It's not just a metal punch, it's a 'Full Metal Punch' showdown!"

An all-out match.

A battle where neither side would hold back, about to begin.
