[Amory’s Legendary Newbie with Unmatched Talent][43]
Just matched up with a complete newbie in a random duo on Arimura’s stream, but their skills are insane, so I had to share.
Let’s get the newbie stamp first.
(▶ ‘Asha#2482’ Resonance Playtime 41 min.jpg)
(▶ ‘Asha#2482’ Amory Playtime 41 min.jpg)
Can you see the playtime for Amory = Playtime for Resonance?
True to being a newbie, they said they’d use a crossbow after seeing it somewhere, but damn, their aim is insane, haha!
BAM BAM BAM! (5 headshots in 10 seconds.gif)
BOOM! (Explosive Hexakill.gif)
WHAM! (Turning around for a triple headshot from first-person view.gif)
GASP! (A gif that makes you flinch no matter how many times you see it.gif)
Haha, got scared, huh?
Looks like they shot at the drone camera thinking it was an enemy.
It’s not even an auto-aim cheat; it’s set to the minimum of 5%.
Arimura is totally out of their mind, trying to get everyone hyped for a campaign, haha!
We’re currently updating the legend in real-time, so come check it out.

– Whoa! Almost threw my phone!
– Can we tone down the advertising?
– I literally dodged when the arrows flew at me, haha!
– Wow, this is insane… then what was that last part, what the heck!
– A newbie using a crossbow…?
– Hold on, they’re actually really good?
– The more I watch, the more I’m amazed. Who is this?
– The third gif is wild. Sure, headshots on stationary targets are one thing, but how did they hit without aiming?
– Did the archery national team come out?
– I’ve trained with countless mad-movies, yet I’m still trash… this is insane…
– Wow, there are really a lot of hidden talents in this world, haha!

[▶Escape from Savia’s Artificial Forest – Clear]
As soon as we escaped the dreary forest, we joined a group of soldiers dressed in the same military uniforms.
[Is the rescue team still far away?]
[They say it’ll take at least 1 hour.]
[Even now, those Al Aksha bastards must be closing in. There are still lots of allied forces stranded here. We must secure the road leading to the southwestern farm as the escape route.]
The scenario flowed through; things were not looking good.
We entered a ruined building to rest for a bit.
[▶Savia Urban Warfare – Eliminate all enemies on the road until the rescue team arrives]
It was around that time we regained our freedom of movement.
“No… Asha!”
“Yes?”
“Is this your first shooting game? Your skills are so suspect!”
“Ah, yes. It’s my first time with guns… This crossbow is quite different from the one I used back then, so it feels a bit odd.”
“Wow, today’s V-tube stream is a goldmine. This is what raw talent looks like. Did you all see? These are the kind of people who become pros later on. The DNA is different.”
– Are you sure you’re not a pro in another game?
– I’m getting major suspicions.
– Being an academy student could also be a disguise.
– Seriously, that crossbow aim is insane, haha!
– Asha is laughing.
“Sorry for the late introduction. I’m Arimura Yui, and I’m a streamer who plays various games in Resonance.”
“Nice to meet you!”
“Uh… it’s my first time hearing about you, right?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, I see. That’s understandable!”
By chance, the person who was paired with me turned out to be a streamer.
It seems like they are quite known in this industry.
They threw a copy of the chat window to me.
The chat was lively, bursting with text.
It felt nostalgic.
[An enemy formation has been detected 500m ahead.]
[3 o’clock! Prepare the machine guns!]
The second mission was a bit of a breather.
BRRRRRRRRRR!
The city center erupted in flames.
The enemies that appeared were armed with a fierce will to maintain control of the city.
Bullets clashed in the air, BANG BANG as streetlights began collapsing with explosive sounds.
I swept aside the zombies rushing at me with my machine gun.
The recoil of the heavy firearm added more weight to my shoulder.
With the sound of gunfire, the windows of buildings shattered, and the thrown grenade caused the road’s pavement to crumble under the powerful impact.
Huff…
I noticed smoke rising from the gun barrel.
As the last bullet came out of the chamber, I took out the magazine full of bullets.
The reloading happened automatically.
The kill log began filling up at a pace similar to Arimura.
– You guys absolutely have to watch this from first-person view; it’s crazy!
– Is their weapon aim magic or what? Haha!
– Can you even see that?
– If their head peeks out, they just blast away, haha!
– What’s their speed?
– This is a newbie…? What the heck did I know about newbies…?
– I’m not sure what’s even visible.
– Their aim is inhuman!
“Aren’t you already at 30 kills? Asha, if you keep this up, I’m getting scared!”
[‘cjdekaskfajr’ has donated 100,000 won!]
– There’s no way someone with these skills is just a newbie. If I figure out who they are using 20 questions, I’ll donate 1 million won.
After receiving the donation, Arimura hesitated, glancing at me repeatedly with subtle side-eyes.
‘If you want something, just say it.’
Even though I tried to shake off the overwhelming gaze, it didn’t work out as I wanted.
Eventually, I proposed first.
“If you guess correctly, can you give me half?”
*
A golden opportunity came for Arimura.
We’re talking about 100,000 won, not just a penny.
Even if split in half, that’s 50,000 won; it’s practically a day’s pay.
They carefully chose their first question.
“Excuse me, but is Asha a woman?”
“?”
“I mean, there are so many netcamers these days. Haha!”
Na-me shot a scornful look at Arimura.
– I
– LOL
– Woman mode ON
– LOL
– I
– I
– I said I would reveal my identity, so does that mean I’m a man? Haha!
– This is going straight to hell.
– No way, were they pretending to be this nice because they were a woman?
– Nah, no way~
“First of all, this avatar is female.”
“No, I mean in real life!”
“Is that the second question? Yes, probably?”
“Wait, what’s with the ‘probably’ part?! Now you’re just confusing me!”
“Arimura, there’s like a ton of enemies coming from the 4 o’clock position. If I die once, I’m just gonna leave the party.”
“Uh oh! When did they gather this many?!”
While focusing on the 20 questions, I was about to get knocked out in-game.
Anyway, hardcore is hardcore.
No matter how ranked you are, if you glance away for just a moment, you could say goodbye to this life.
“So, for the second question…”
“Third.”
“Okay, third question. Have you ever participated in any tournaments?”
“Hmm, probably?”
“No, what is this! We’re not playing 20 Questions, we’re playing Call My Name!”
– Hahaha!!!
– Look at how vague they’re answering, haha!
– They’ve definitely got the mindset of not letting go of that million won easily.
– And besides, it’s not even their money, haha!
– A tournament in physical education counts, right? Sure, sure, haha!
Arimura’s face was lit with a modest smile, still remembering the earlier jab about their height.
On the other hand, Arimura began to sense some urgency, having underestimated the 20 Questions game.
If they awkwardly narrow down the questions too much, they’ll run out of their 20 questions in no time.
“Hey everyone, Asha said she went to an academy earlier. Is she maybe a high school selection in shooting or archery?”
“Was that a question?”
“No, no, it’s thinking time…! Oh right! Are you from an academy in the metropolitan area?”
“Ah, that’s definitely a no.”
“Got it! So close! But I’m not sure about the academy name. Can I say it by region? Maybe Gwangju?”
“No.”
“Daegu?”
“No.”
“Aw man, why can’t I get it right… huh, it’s Busan! I feel the vibe of a Busan person!”
“Ha ha, no way. Do I give off the vibe of a Busan person?”
– If it were me, I’d have split it one more time to ask.
– It’s a 1 in 4 chance and they’re doing badly, haha!
– But if I can just find out about their school, I’m almost there.
– Asha is a complete elite!
– Correct! Sejong Mirinae Academy!
– A noble girl’s audacity, whoa!
“Aah, so it was Sejong. Have I asked seven questions already?”
“Hmm hmm.”
Na-me cleared their throat with a fist brought up to their mouth.
“Eh, why are you acting like that? Isn’t it Sejong? Why are you being all sketchy again…”
“Is this a question?”
“No, no… Um, I feel uneasy, but hey, it’s one time. Asha, do you officially attend Sejong Mirinae Academy? You must answer with just yes or no, no playing around.”
“No.”
“Wait, didn’t you just say it wasn’t an academy in the metropolitan area…? Just to clarify, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do are part of the metropolitan area, Asha!”
“I already know that.”
“What the heck. No way…”
Arimura’s face abruptly turned dark.
The viewers were bombarding with question marks.
They paused shooting to look at the small girl with trembling eyes.
“Could it be… you’re not from Korea…?”
The uneasy guesses became reality quickly.
“Yes.”
“What the heck! How am I supposed to know, arghhh!”
– Hahaha!
– Wow, what a twist!
– This 20 Questions pro is unreal, whoa!
– In the end, I got no info and wasted 8 questions, haha!
– Even Harvard or Oxford counts as a regional university, haha!
– LOL, I think Arimura probably has some grudge for calling them short earlier.
– Was it because of that height comment earlier?
– This is an absolute disaster, haha!
Na-me inwardly giggled, enjoying Arimura’s desperate expression.
Yet true streamers shine in a crisis.
Arimura decided to take a bold gamble.
“Asha, have you ever been ranked in the World of Arseria Grandmaster rankings?”
A subtly detailed question.
Not even thinking to mock the response, Na-me nodded slightly.
They managed to acquire tremendous intel.
Arimura clenched their fist, pointing at the viewers they had looked down on.
“See, this crossbow skill didn’t just come out of nowhere! I’m totally sure about this. This person has to be a pro in Wagal or at least a trainee!”
[‘Ultimate Seunghyun’ donated 2,000 won!]
– I mean, you just said they were a student from an academy, right? Plus, they said they were just trying it out for a project. Forgetfulness much?
“No, no, that’s not information from the 20 Questions. The academy must have taken a leave of absence or dropped out. That’s my conclusion. Right, Asha?”
“Correct.”
“See? I told you I was right!”
– Whoa!
– Arimura! Arimura! Arimura! Arimura!
– It’s a full detective moment, haha!
– Whoa, that deduction was amazing!
– Did they even catch on to the smoke screen?
– This is Resonance, the place for Rankers, don’t you dare doubt!
This narrowed the candidate options down significantly.
We’re looking for a pro or master from an academy.
“Well, Asha, you must have done Twish streaming at some point, right? Maybe not now, but at some point.”
“Yes, that’s right. You have a surprisingly good intuition.”
The viewers’ collective intelligence whittled down to the final suspects.
“Hahah, correct! You’re the archery bard artisan Veixel, Bae Yeon-ji, right? The first woman to hit Challenger 1000 points and entered the Part 1 pro league!”
“Excuse me? Not at all.”
“Not at all?”
Follow-up questions came pouring out.
Asha was neither a pro nor a trainee.
Even naming famous entertainers who were great at games turned out wrong.
“Is Asha under 15 years old?”
“Yes.”
“Who the heck is she…”
The viewers speculated she was a foreign V-tuber.
In the United States, there are a lot of female users in the Celestial Realm who combine streaming with gaming.
But how on earth were they supposed to figure out an alternate V-tuber who hides all identity info?
In the end, it’s not about guessing the person’s identity but figuring out the stream itself.
“Well, in today’s age, V-tubing… seems like a given. Do you have more than 10,000 subscribers?”
“Yes.”
“Oh? That means you’re doing pretty well. More than 100,000?”
“Yes.”
– ???
– Whoa, more than 100,000?
– I feel like I might be able to figure this out.
– Who on earth could it be?
– Is she a corporate V-tuber who’s not very well known in Korea?
“Please don’t tell me it’s not more than 1 million?”
“It exceeds that.”
“WHAT?”
Arimura Yui’s V-tube subscriber count is 850,000.
The identity of a newbie who shoots a crossbow exceptionally well was already looking serious.
“I have two questions left.”
Excluding the last question to find out the answer, this was basically the final one.
Suddenly, chatter erupted in the chat window as they speculated her identity.
The THUD THUD THUD of the machine gun settled down, and the interface announced campaign mission completion.
[▶Savia Urban Warfare – Eliminate all enemies on the road until the rescue team arrives – Clear]
The girl lifted her face from the machine gun, straightened her back, and stood firm.
Her final kill count exceeded 100.
A single word flashed through Arimura’s mind.
Overwhelming talent.
“Asha, are you under 10 years old?”
The girl held her words back.
Why hadn’t I noticed sooner?
The greater the gap between actual body and virtual reality body, the harder it becomes to display such overwhelming performance.
The reason she hadn’t grown over 140 cm in height was likely because she was much smaller in reality.
“Finally, you’ve realized?”
The girl beamed brightly.
V-tube subscriber count: 10.38 million.
Known as ‘NoName’.
Arimura, with a face full of shock, struggled to spit out their twentieth question.
“Is it… NoName?”
“Correct, you got it. So next time, don’t make fun of my height.”
Na-me slightly bent down and brought their hand to Arimura’s forehead, then,
THWACK!
Lightly flicked them and gracefully moved on to the next campaign location.
