Another World Returner’s Game Streaming

chapter 42



42 – Streamer Soma (4)

In neuroscience, it is estimated that the limit of human reaction speed is approximately 0.1 Second.

This meant that even a first-class athlete who had trained to the limit of human beings could not react within 0.1 Second to anything.

The reason is simple.

This is because it takes at least 0.08 Seconds for humans to receive auditory signals and transmit them to the brain, and it takes at least 0.02 Seconds for muscles to respond according to the instructions of the brain.

Of course, this is generally the case.

Even if they belong to the same category of human beings, each person’s physical performance is very different.

Because it cannot be said that there are very few people who are born with reflexes that exceed human limits.

That’s why in the history of mankind, those who have the ability to surpass human limits were called this way.

It’s called superhuman.

‘Really… I feel like I’m going crazy.’

And now, witnessing the absurd sight of Eugene dodging all the balls flying at him with a mere piece of paper, the general director was feeling like he was about to literally go crazy.

Even though it was a reaction speed test where even the national team fencer couldn’t pass level 5, it’s not absurd that Eugene clears level 7.

It wasn’t without the possibility that the Eugene in front of me was naturally gifted with reflexes superior to those of national athletes.

Okay, let’s go beyond the reflexes that have transcended human limits.

However, was it really possible for humans to react to a projectile that flew right in front of them and dodge it with a paper-cut difference while still possessing a human body?

At first, I was just shocked to see Eugene.

Because showing off a physical that has reached the limit of human beings in a virtual reality game and actually witnessing such a scene in real life are different things in terms of weight.

But after a while, the general director realized that his own heart was pounding in his ears.

Yeah, I had no choice but to do that.

It is rare to excite and excite others as much as encountering a talent that transcends human common sense.

‘… Damn it I should have filmed this scene on camera!’

It was very disappointing. It was lamentable.

If he had captured the scene he had just seen in the camera and secretly released it as a nightfall making video, it was impossible to guess how much of a repercussion it would have had.

As much as it became a hot topic, sales of Nightfall must have increased rapidly.

You don’t need publicity or advertising.

A game featuring a boss monster whose model is beyond human limits!

Because there is no element that draws people’s attention as much as this and makes them open their wallets readily.

On the other hand, Winter, who was standing right next to the general director, was also looking at Eugene with a shocked look.

‘Crazy… Does this really make sense?’

Winter is neuroscience, so I don’t know about the headaches of human reaction speed and all.

Because she originally came from a liberal arts department that had no scientific knowledge.

But despite this, what Eugene is showing off right now in front of everyone is to the average person… No, I could instinctively grasp that it was an impossible feat for any human being in this world.

A few months ago, Eugene, who had been missing for the past five years and managed to return home, had told her family that she was in fact a secret agent.

Of course, no one in his family took Eugene’s nonsense seriously.

But now, looking at Eugene like that, for some reason, he began to have a crazy idea that the bullsh*t might be true.

‘… No, but I think that’s beyond the level of a secret agent?’

As a secret agent, I was roughly thinking of Black Widow, but no matter how you look at it, that’s Captain America’s level.

‘That human, what have you really been doing for the past five years?’

At that time, Winter was looking at Eugene with a suspicious look.

‘… Hmm. She’s not in very bad shape.’

Indeed, Eugene, who had been enjoying the pleasant feeling of moving his body with all his might for the first time in a long time, tilted his head as he realized that the gaze looking at him was strange.

‘What is it? Did I make a mistake?’

But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like I did anything wrong.

‘Isn’t anyone who has been formally trained to do this?’

In fact, when he was being trained by the princess in another world, he used to go through more than this.

For example, fighting a starving demon in a dark room full of blades for three days, or going through training such as falling down a cliff with both arms and legs restrained, and so on.

Compared to such training, the situation where about 100 baseballs flew from all sides was nothing short of child’s play.

In fact, he didn’t even use his will, let alone use the very little mana left in his body.

It was only through his own senses and the experience imprinted on his own body that he made such a move.

“… Did something go wrong?”

Unable to overcome the silence that filled the room, eventually Eugene opened his mouth first, and the general director shook his head desperately.

“No, it’s not like that. All, just… Judging from the sword master’s results, I don’t think any more tests will have much effect.”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement with the general director’s words.

The general director was right.

In the first place, it would be just a waste of time to test things like reaction speed and moving vision against a monster that could dodge a ball fired right in front of its nose with a single piece of paper.

“Then, I’ll skip the rest of the process, and from now on, I’m going to start collecting the sword lord’s battle data in earnest… “

“How do I collect my combat data?”

“Well, it’s simple. All you have to do is fight sword-to-sword with our own stuntman in the middle of a set with multiple cameras running.”

At the words of the general director, the faces of the stuntmen gathered around them turned white in an instant.

I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t seen anything from the beginning, but they had already witnessed it clearly.

To see that monster wearing a human mask, called Sword Master, dodged hundreds of balls pouring down from all directions as if he were taking a walk!

‘Are you going to fight a man like that with only one sword? I never do No, I can’t.’

‘Is this a balanced thing? I don’t think I can win unless you give me at least a bazooka… ‘

‘If I had a one-on-one fight with that person, it would definitely be cut in 10 seconds, no, 5 seconds. If you don’t want to be bullied in front of other people, it’s best to keep quiet here.’

The general director sighed at the sight of the stuntmen trying to avoid eye contact with Eugene by any means, avoiding eye contact or looking elsewhere.

From his point of view, their behavior was really ugly, but at the same time, he understood their feelings a little.

Because I didn’t want anyone to show me that I couldn’t extend my hands or feet beyond simply being defeated in front of other people and getting beaten up.

While the general director was contemplating which poor scapegoat he should place on the guillotine.

“Um, um… Director. How about doing this?”

One of the employees came up with a truly demonic idea.

“Rather than having Soma-sama and the stuntmen fight one-on-one, how about having Soma-sama fight all the stuntmen?”

“…What?”

“Soma’s motor nerves and reflexes are so unrivaled that the stuntmen seem to be a little burdened, so I thought it would be better to measure the battle data in a many-on-one fight format. Rather than fighting twice, isn’t that way more efficient?”

That’s just the Copernican idea itself, how to kill one Eugene with a bunch of people because it’s certain that if you fight one-on-one, you’ll be beaten!

A normal day, he would have snorted, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense,” But with Eugene, an out-of-standard monster, in front of him, those words somehow became persuasive.

‘Yes, if that’s the case… ‘

‘It’s not one-on-one, maybe it’s worth a shot if we all jump in?’

‘Even that monster has only two hands and two feet. How can we win if we all attack at once?’

Seeing how the stuntmen’s expressions brightened for some reason, the general director eventually made a choice that he shouldn’t have made.

“Okay, let’s try that once. I think that would be effective in collecting the sword lord’s battle data. What do you think, by any chance, sword lord?”

“I’m fine. It wouldn’t hurt to fight like that.”

After Yujin nodded her head in a polite manner, everything started to be prepared in an instant.

But only one of them.

Only in the winter, I felt a sense of anxiety for no reason watching the scene.

Since it seems like you won’t be able to compete one-on-one, you’re going to use humane tactics this time?

Well… It’s a good strategy, but I think the opponent is too bad.

When Eugene gets involved in a certain incident, things don’t work out of common sense from then on.

For some reason, in Winter’s head, a scene from a Marvel hero movie I saw a long time ago came to mind.

There, how did the heroes get rid of the extras flocking to them… ?

“Now, let’s start collecting data in earnest!”

And fortunately or unfortunately, Winter does not have to struggle to recall a scene from the movie in his memory.

Kwaang-!

Because I witnessed one of the stuntmen who crossed swords with Eugene for the first time, flying through the sky like a home run ball.
