NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14
[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Watching Sol’s Broadcast, Seems Like He/She’s Just Here for the Views]
Unbelievable. How does someone who seems to just be here for views start off their first broadcast by trolling people?
The guy/girl is being told to play Teama but ignores it, instead playing some ridiculously complicated fangame, scaring off the audience.
Does Sol really look like someone who’s here for views? Honestly?
This person’s just mentally off.
They seem to be in pain.
Even after 100 people left because Sol threatened to quit if Teama wasn’t played, Sol didn’t care at all.
It’s clear they couldn’t care less about public opinion, man.
This person just wants to play Magical Fight.
Plain and simple.
They don’t give a damn about fame or anything from broadcasting.
Please, if you’re here for views, could you at least play Teama?
─[This person’s just here for views]
─[Difficult? Feels like someone who’s actually tried the game speaking… You’re that zero-kill Mercury, aren’t you?]
└[Arrest the scammer]
─[Still, considering they try to limit view-switching, they do seem to care about the audience somewhat?]
└[Caring about the audience (only for those who watch Magical Fight broadcasts)]
└[Could they not share just a tenth of that passion with Teama?]
└[If they’re gonna play Illusionist, when do we get to see the incredible plays they’re supposedly capable of, seriously?]
─[Every item here is a consumable item, first time seeing a game like this. Hilarious nonsense.]
└[That’s what makes it fun though]
└[Could it be you’re actually Sol?]
└[Could also be Victory]
─[Not sure about difficulty, but could you adjust your voice at least?]
└[It’s going to get stuck in my head! Mandain Kai!]
└[Star Light! Jaggy Mentor! Infinity!]
└[Already seeing a slew of victims succumbing to addiction.]
└[Aren’t you an otaku at heart?]
└[Because of Sol, I binge-watched all three seasons of Magical Girls Chronik.]
└[First time watching the broadcast today, what’s the story behind this?]
└[All because of Sol.]
[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Breaking News) Time for Magical Fight Stories after the First Game]
Let’s go!
─[Thank you]
─[God bless you]
─[Thank you, thank you, sir]
─[We endure the torture of Magical Fight for rewards, but if you spoil it by telling everyone, what are we supposed to do?]
└[You’re right, we shouldn’t be telling people. What was I thinking? It’s king-making now.]
└[Is Magical Fight really that torturous?]
└[It truly is.]
└[If you don’t like it, then don’t say anything, please.]

“Alright, as promised, the gossip about Victory and… some other spicy stories.”
[Finally!]
[Long suffering and Magical Fight sessions have ended…]
[Torture has finally ceased]
“I’m on the big-breast faction, but Victory’s from the flat side.”
[MC]
[Hits you hard right off the bat!]
[Is this person really broadcasting just to ruin Victory’s image?]
[If they’re an A-cup and Victory’s female fans are happy about it, it’s hilarious]
[Do I get a chance too? (wiggling)]
[Do flat but muscular men count?]
[Stop typing gross chat messages, seriously]
[The whole world is gay now…]
[Victory’s a pedophile… note that…]
[If you really like gum with milk, that’s a problem, right?]
[What about our champion’s image?]
[Why do you keep friends like this?]
[Are they really friends?]
“Alright, let’s move on to the next game.”
[Is this it? Madness]
[Stop and continue the story!]
[Would an uprising get you to focus?]
[Me]
[Rock]
[Me]
[Rock]
[About to lose my mind]
Hmm.
We played a half-hour game, but one line is maybe too much.
So, I resolved to go a bit deeper into the stories.
“So… this is from our talks about Magical Girls Chronik. This particular character has the biggest breasts among magic girls, right? Also, she plays the role of the goddess of beauty among magic girls.”
I pulled out an internet search on the broadcast and showed everyone what Venus looks like.
Audio-visual aids make comprehension easier, right?
Golden-haired, dressed in bright, cheery colors, this girl is all about the magical girl aesthetic.
Her weapon, a bow adorned with floral designs.
“Anyway, I was praising Venus that day, and Victory was showing a strange lack of enthusiasm. Not outright ‘no interest,’ but almost like begrudging it, you know? So, someone asked who their favorite character was. Turns out… it’s Noksu!”
I pulled up another search and displayed Noksu.
Black-haired, petite, flat-chested, a type some call ‘Loli.’
Wearing a dark, relatively covered outfit with a scythe, she also comes with that middle-school-disease charm.
“So, I asked, ‘Isn’t it true that someone without breasts isn’t a woman?’ and Victory replied it might actually be a good thing.”
[LOL]
[That’s an epic burn]
[Sure feels like Victory wants to punch Sol in the face right now]
[Hello, this is Ascend Law Firm, please check your inbox]
[No kidding, this person’s serious about suing, right?]
[Uh, the excessive breast talk feels a bit uncomfortable. Can we use some softer terms like ‘heart’ or ‘mamma-tongue’]?
[Is ‘mamma-tongue’ even toned-down enough?]
[A bold man, Sol, unaffected by female audiences]
[Honestly, the straight talk is refreshing]
[This is the real deal—people are too soft these days]
[They’re careful because they’ve made it big; Sol’s here throwing shade without restraint]
[What the heck did Victory do wrong?]
[Wrong for being friends with a weirdo]
[LOL]
“Alright, that’s all for the spicy gossip. Want more? Play a round of Magical Fight!”
[Ahhh, back to torture time]
[The boss is entertaining, but the game isn’t friendly at all]
[Not as risqué as expected—boring]
[What did you think would happen? Are you gay for it?]
[Victory is already compromised enough]
[Victory~ I lick Lolis~ Victory~ I lick Lolis~]
[Already got someone who changes their nickname to ‘I like young children, Victory’]
[Flat surface-loving Victory, get out]
[Creatures Sol birthed…]
Rookies were clearly struggling.
To impose my own penalties, I locked two spellbooks, levels 1 and 5, and decided to only count kills in heated battles.
Most of my time was spent teaching the viewers.
Still, I managed a zero-death record purely because I refused to die on purpose—it’s not my style.
‘Maybe teaching is more fun than I thought.’
The satisfaction of planting an apple tree.
Even if it never bears a single apple, I will keep planting my apple tree!
Thus, the second and third games proceeded.
Predictably, Victory’s friendship stories served as the bait.
[Is this really friendship?]
[Do I misunderstand the word friendship?]
[Does friendship mean pushing someone off a cliff?]
[Is Victory actually Victory’s fan who ties up Sol or is it some deep-rooted grudge?]
[Ascend’s people must be holding their necks in anxiety right now]
Well, it’s not enough to have them clutching their necks.
Aren’t broadcasters supposed to project a more relatable image?
Being an otaku makes that even better, doesn’t it?
Or not.
The stories I told during the second and third games went something like this.
Surprisingly, Victory was a pure new player who didn’t know Magical Girls Chronik.
I tirelessly convinced them to watch it all the way to the end!
Afterward, Victory pretended not to like it but secretly became an introverted otaku who loved talking about Magical Girls Chronik!
Also:
Apparently, someone told Victory I was the better player, but that’s only half true.
My win rate is definitely higher, but it’s 5v5, so you can’t make a simple comparison.
However, now that I’ve thought about it, I might truly be better.
Story’s over.
[Exactly, this guy broadcasted just to ruin Victory]
[What deep-seeded grudge does Victory have?]
[Victory seemed to genuinely consider this person a friend…]
[Is this real friendship? What am I watching?]
“I don’t harbor ill intentions. Once Victory understands he/she is part of the Magical Fight resurgence, they’ll be pleased.”
[Misunderstanding it may be, but this is more like a cult]
[You sound like a cult leader]
[Leader of the Magical Fight Cult, Sol]
[Be used by the Lord!]
[Truly, sounds like a pastor]
[Fanatic]
“Still, since I opened this broadcast, shall we play one round of Teama?”
Magical Fight is much more entertaining; that’s a given fact.
But if I keep broadcasting Magical Fight and suddenly stop, no one will come just for Teama, right?
First, you need to present broadcasts to get people hooked on Magical Fight.
There’s a quote from a villain in some superhero movie.
If I killed the hostage, you wouldn’t be swayed by me anymore.
But since I spared the hostage’s life, you’ll always cling to hope, thinking the hostage could survive.
If I show incredible plays in Teama, they’ll keep coming back.
And each time, I’ll slowly draw them into Magical Fight.
The path to revival isn’t far!
[Wow, really?]
[The sacrifices of the martyred on the cross… I will not forget!]
[What about Victory’s remarks on your skill level, Sol? Are you equally matched or better?]
The reactions are good.
Should I reveal the truth?
During the Magical Fight educational broadcasts, I refrained from wrecking everyone, but it wasn’t easy holding back.
