Only Weapon Master

Gojo Sayaka grew in real-time, but that wasn’t enough to surpass Kang Ara.

Ara barely moved, only fixing Sayaka’s flawed sword techniques from her position, while Sayaka twisted her entire body and attacked Ara with all her might, leading to stamina depletion.

Kang Ara[3] : Sayaka [0]

In the end, Sayaka couldn’t score a single point, and the Custom Capsule—no, the championship—went to Ara.

As the tournament concluded, the media was filled with headlines:

[K-Sword Saint’s Perfect Comeback.]

[Is Kang Ara the Reincarnation of Yi Sun-sin?]

[Gojo Sayaka: “The Title of Sword Saint Seems to Suit Someone Like Her, Not Me. Next Time…….”]

[Let’s Learn About the Woman America Envies, China Wails Over, and Japan Jealously Covets]

Articles praising me filled internet portals, but it didn’t end there.

Companies requested me for advertisements, and broadcast PDs begged me to appear on entertainment shows just once, but.

Since I wasn’t short on money, I declined all the advertisements offered to me, and since I had no intention of stepping into the entertainment industry, I rejected the PDs’ requests too.

Most advertisers and PDs who understood my reasons for declining expressed regret but concluded by suggesting we meet again if there was a future opportunity.

But some complained that I was arrogant, asking why a little girl was so blunt, and cursed me so viciously that I secretly went to them at night and half-killed them with my bamboo sword until they quieted down.

Thus, my face no longer appeared frequently on portals, and the public who had been enthusiastic about me returned to their daily lives.

Three months passed.

I enshrined the prize, the Custom Capsule, carefully in my room, hehe. (★IMPORTANT★)

The hot sun hid behind clouds, and autumn arrived with cool, refreshing breezes.

And the arrival of autumn meant

that the debut of ‘Twins Tail,’ consisting of just Reina and me, was in its final countdown.

We had completed the creation of 2D characters and virtual reality characters, and even finished producing our debut song.

[October 10th at 10:10 PM. A VTuber Group Debuting at an Unusual Time. ‘Twins Tail,’ Who Are They?]

[MT Faltering. Is a New Company Seizing the Opportunity?]

Moreover, if it had been a company without money, we would have started with nothing, but our CEO Kim Yeji poured a lot of money into promotion as if deficits didn’t matter.

Thanks to that, the fledgling company with no achievements and the VTuber group it created managed to leave at least a faint impression in the minds of the public.

[When will Isekai-dol come out]

Come out quickly… I’m waiting just for you, you know?

— Agreed, they really need to release it soon, no feels at all

— Wait while watching 1st gen

└ Those bastards, they need to turn on broadcasts for us to wait.

└ Idols who’ve completely lost their initial passion lol

— Please just select normal people..

└ 2nd gen, ugh..

└ Hey, don’t recall that. The ground will collapse.

[Skip2Wait3]

Was it wise to skip 2nd gen and wait for 3rd gen?

— F’ing wise. You’re a great sage

— Selling eyes that haven’t seen 2nd gen idols.

└ Lololololol

└ Perhaps…?

└ (Comment author): When they first debuted, they had a good face and voice, so I made them my favorite, but that fucking bitch

— Support 2nd gen too..

└ Fuck off, they might be infected with that ideology

└ Why would you deliberately go to a risky place when you can stay somewhere safe lol

└ Damn straight

[I’ll just watch these guys.]

(TwinsTail_silhouette.jpg)

Those horns on their heads look so alluring I can’t resist

— What unknown company are they from?

— The ads were everywhere, damn

— They’re this year’s 4th quarter’s most anticipated.

└ What is this, an anime gallery? 4th quarter’s most anticipated wtf

— Hah… I want to grab those horns with both hands and thrust my hips forcef-

└ Ew, that’s disgusting

└ VTuber fan level comments lol

[Twins Tail is indeed promising]

Their cover songs are unique too

One does super difficult hellish song covers, and one does rap for a VTuber

Besides the songs, I’m looking forward to the rap

— How do you know about cover songs when they haven’t been released yet, idiot

└ (Post author): They’ll be playable 24 hours later, look it up before cursing, you loser

— Wasn’t rap covers only done by foreign VTubers..?

— This gives off major bully vibes.

└(Post author): That’s what makes it good.

└ Huh

└ What

Twins Tail’s approaching debut also meant that there was only one month left until Isekai-dol 3rd generation’s debut.

While most of the anticipation was for Isekai-dol, thanks to VT’s aggressive spending and promotion of Twins Tail, they succeeded in generating some interest, albeit not huge.

As Twins Tail began to seep into galleries and communities,

the gallery was being destroyed by Sekai-dol fans and trolls pretending to be fans of the soon-to-debut Twins Tail from the new company.

At the same time, there was another gallery being destroyed in a different sense.

Post author 3/19/0

I was trying to relieve stress by stomping noobs on my alt, but I got a Hyeji player as support, so I threw the game.

How many YongYongs is this worth?

— You crazy bastard, haven’t you been banned?

└ (Post author): Don’t care since it’s my alt lol

— Hmm… On a scale of 10 YongYongs, I’d give you 2 YongYongs.

└ (Post author): Why?

└ (Comment author): (Pushing up glasses) The criteria are: is the champion a hated one, how broken is the support’s KDA, and how long the game lasted. However, looking at your record ………….

└ You guys have all sorts of criteria, idiots.

[Ret hasn’t learned his lesson]

The idiot picked Yuni again when he got a bad support

└ Ah, we miss you. O YongYong..

By now, she’s probably given her body and heart to some Chinese tycoon! You idiots, by now the YongYongLion you’re looking for is probably moaning and swinging her hips on a bed lol

— Where do you live?

— I’ll kill you I’ll kill you I’ll kill you I’ll kill you

I misspoke. I’m sorry. I’m a support buffer user, and due to negative emotions from the poor perception of users like me because of YongYongLion, I posted a crappy post. I’m sworry

└ Talk nonsense

— YongYong noona to the National Assembly!!

— I’m cold, noona… Come back quickly..

The MOL Gallery users were desperately searching for Ara, who had been unable to log into MOL due to the kendo tournament and preparations for her VTuber debut.

♦♦♦

Let’s find out what she, whom the Dark YongYongdan is desperately searching for, is currently doing…

“…CEO. I mean Unni Yeji. I think my rap is good enough at this level. But for the song..”

“Ara…. That’s beyond even my discretion.”

“But… I practiced hard.”

She was pleading with Yeji to let her sing her song(?), which she considered one of her strengths, during the debut broadcast.

Yeji was extremely dizzy from Ara’s stubborn insistence.

This was because her singing wasn’t at a listenable level even with practice.

Yeji recalled what had happened two months ago.

<2 months ago>

It was the day when Reina and Ara were being evaluated by trainers for the first time, and she was reading the evaluation sheets in her office.

The contents of the evaluation sheets were as follows:

[Dance Trainer]

Reina — It would be good to build stamina first. Not that she dances well either. Seems to need some time.

Kang Ara — Perhaps due to her good athleticism, she has abundant talent as she can follow taught dances well. Compared to Reina, she doesn’t seem to need as much time invested in dance training.

[Vocal Trainer]

Reina — Holds her own even compared to professional singers. Actually seems to sing even better.

Up to here was as she had expected.

Kang Ara was athletically gifted, but Reina had stamina issues and lacked motor skills to the point of being clumsy.

However, Reina had exceptional vocal talent.

Additionally, since there was still some time until the debut, Yeji wasn’t too worried about Reina, thinking that as her stamina improved and dancing became more familiar, she would gradually get better.

Yes, up to here was as she had expected…

Kang Ara — Beyond rehabilitation.

Until she saw Ara’s evaluation, where even the excellent vocal trainer couldn’t improve her singing skills.

An evaluation that frontally negated the saying that there’s nothing you can’t do with practice.

Seeing such an evaluation, she thought ‘Should I really just make Ara a backup dancer?’ and called Ara and Reina, who were in the practice room, while supporting her throbbing forehead with her hand,

deciding to take the lead and tell Ara the truth about the current situation.

Not long after she called them, Ara and Reina came up to her office.

Yeji decided to get straight to the point as soon as they entered.

“Um…Ara. Really honestly. Please answer honestly.”

“? Yes.”

“Do you, by any chance, think you sing well?”

While Yeji was inwardly begging Ara to say no and evaluate herself objectively…

“Not as good as Reina, but I think I can sing decently.”

Ara’s unnecessarily confident answer shattered her expectations to pieces.

After hearing Ara’s response, Yeji couldn’t bring herself to say ‘You’re terrible at singing. Even the vocal teacher gave up on you.’ to that innocent and confident face.

So she quietly placed the vocal evaluation sheet on the desk in front of Ara.

And Ara, who had tilted her head curiously at the evaluation sheet in front of her.

Upon seeing the five characters written about her in the vocal evaluation, she began trembling and speaking with a shaky voice.

She claimed it was slander, that she wasn’t that bad. No, is it right to use the term “rehabilitation” for a person? She vented her grievances.

Reina, sitting beside her, had an expression that seemed to say ‘Ah. She finally… found out.’

After barely stopping the agitated Ara from confronting the vocal trainer and making her sit back on the sofa, Yeji asked if she would consider just dancing.

‘H-hic… That… Isn’t that just a backup dancer… CEO. Just give me one chance… just one chance sob… My condition wasn’t good today. If you give me time…….’

She immediately grasped Yeji’s hidden intention and was desperately begging like a debt collector might.

While Yeji was rubbing her brow, seeing Ara’s inability to let go of her singing aspirations, Reina, sitting beside her, spoke up.

‘…Well, Ara is good at rap. If you just let her rap…’

Saying that while her singing might be terrible, she’s not completely incapable of music. She’s good at rap. Upon hearing Reina’s statement.

Yeji asked Ara to calm down and requested if she could show her rap just once.

Though Ara was reluctant, she accepted Yeji’s request and rapped right there.

‘…..She’s good?’

Thanks to Ara’s performance exceeding her expectations, she thought, ah… what a relief.

After that time, she assigned a separate rap trainer to Ara.

Although she wanted to sing. Well. What can’t be done, can’t be done.

So Ara focused on rap instead of singing, and Reina concentrated on dance and stamina as time passed.

She thought Ara had given up her attachment to singing to some extent by now…

“…I. I really just once… Just one song for the debut broadcast. Okay?”

Even though the debut was just around the corner

Due to Ara’s attitude, still unable to give up on singing.

Though she didn’t smoke, today she was filled with the urge to do so.
