Chapter Title: How about it? Pretty easy, right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Someone once said it.
What you see depends on what you know.
As such, Hean's commentary was a bit off the mark.
It wasn't bad, just a little off in the details.
That's not it.
It's not the gun barrel direction.
What I saw and dodged was the 'stance'.
Dodging just by looking at the gun barrel doesn't make sense.
By the time the bullet comes out of the barrel, no amount of effort with level 10 stats would let you track it with your eyes and dodge.
But by comprehensively judging the breathing, eye movements, the subtle twist of the foot, the fingers, and the entire stance, you can instinctively sense the bullet's trajectory and dodge a step ahead.
What? If it's like that, couldn't you dodge by looking at the gun barrel too?
No.
That's nonsense.
If you dodge based on the gun barrel, you're moving without knowing 'when' the bullet will fire.
Naturally, you end up dodging two or three steps early or half a beat late.
In that case, not only the dodger but the attacker can react to the situation.
Moving two or three steps ahead based on the barrel gives the attacker that much time to advance a step further.
'To explain with a simple example, it's like knowing a sword is coming but not when, so you move early, and the opponent reacts to your movement and attacks from another direction.'
And then your head flies off.
I summed it up concisely and sent it as advice.
Hmm...
Pretty well summarized, I think.
Sponsorships stand out more than chat.
This means Hean could check all advice coming via sponsorship.
Focused on commentary, she planned to read the sponsorship and quickly return to the main topic.
But the chat happened to be advice.
Like in any game stream, advice is unavoidable chat.
Hean even had a no-advice rule up.
Though, excluding a few malicious viewers, it was basically a dead rule since she couldn't catch every single chat.
Even if the advice was mild, when it stood out like this, she had to warn.
So.
"Advice is..."
banned.
She was about to say that.
"Huh...? Third Life?"
Hean reacted upon reading the sponsor's ID.
It wasn't severe advice, so normally she'd give a short warning and move on, but the person involved in the commentary she was doing had chimed in.
Was this even advice?
No.
And Hean had a conversation she wanted to have with this viewer.
At that moment.
The diligent manager strictly enforced the rules, putting Third Life on a 10-minute ban.
The "dodge based on the body" sponsorship could be seen as an 'opinion'.
But the prior sponsorship of "that's not how you do it" was judged as malicious intent, leading to the swift ban.
Lucky it was a first offense—otherwise it'd be 24 hours.
Normally, great job by the manager.
But of all viewers, the one banned was Third Life.
"Ahh! Wait! Manager! Manager!"
Hean wailed, but it was too late.
The ban happened fast.
Third Life sighed watching it.
"Ah.... Banned again."
Banned this time too.
Unlike capitalist Yura's stream, Hean's had no bail system.
So this account was unusable for 10 minutes.
No problem.
Prepared multiple accounts for times like this.
Click.
Opened notepad.
It listed numerous accounts... no, identities.
Logged back in with one.
Hean's stream appeared immediately.
Hean was screaming, digging through the corpse pile.
Hmm...
Not commentating—what's she doing?
Then Hean spotted something and shouted joyfully.
"Ah, found it...!"
Hean was about to revive someone freshly dead from the corpse mound.
"Huh? Yes. Just a moment.... Huh...? Alt account...?"
Hean widened her eyes at the new sponsor's nick.
She knew Yura and had seen it by chance visiting Yura's stream.
It was Third Life's alt.
The one who should be revived had switched bodies and was alive and well.
Hean felt a bit dizzy at the alt resurrecting in another body despite death.
But she had something to ask first.
"Before continuing commentary, Third Life. Mind if I ask something?"
There was a part during the game she couldn't understand.
"Why fight jobless?"
No buffs either.
But the lack of restrictions was a big plus.
Hean wasn't convinced but moved on to the next question.
"Then here."
Click!
She played and paused the recording.
The scene of suddenly closing in and swinging a sword down at Hean.
"How did you close in so fast? Partial enhancement on the legs with Body Enhancement?"
"Yes?"
How about it? Pretty easy, right?
For reference, viewers didn't find it easy at all.
Swipe.
"......"
Yura, who'd been browsing community posts, casually upvoted.
Yura shifted her gaze.
High-res monitor screen, recently upgraded.
There was her wayward (not really) viewer.
And her affair partner (not really) Hean.
