Episode 507 – Another Meaning of OTP (5)
All eight servers have completed mobile training. After completing the same filtering process on the final server, the members decided to begin full-scale branch training.
"Now, to ensure fairness during standby times! We'll continue training in reverse order, starting with the 8th Battalion!"
The participants waiting at the very back couldn't be made to wait any longer. Those who had been slightly behind responded to Genome's words with cheers.
“Oh? We’re first!?”
“Ugh! It’s Purge Day!”
“Huh, this is right!”
The other members laughed at him, and Lee Kyung-bok drew their attention by clapping his hands lightly.
"You should now see a menu appear before you. There are four classes: riflemen, shieldmen, heavy cavalry, and engineers!
"The military branch is similar to the occupational group we're assigned to, right? It shouldn't be difficult to understand!"
"This is the way you apply directly! But please remember that you can only apply for one branch!"
"Oh, right! You can only choose your first choice! If you're aiming for the top spots, you have to think carefully. It's good to aim for a branch with a low competition rate, but it's also a good idea!"
The participants stirred as the members explained their stories. The viewers were amused by their darting eyes.
-Oh, let's start a battle of wits right away?
-Brain at full capacity ON!
-Aren't the Kingban members' skills all the same anyway?
-Really lol isn't this basically a popularity vote?
-The competition for engineers who follow Godple seems to be very fierce lol
As everyone had difficulty making a decision, the members stepped forward one by one.
"Well, I see you're having a lot to think about! That's why we've prepared special benefits for each class."
“It would be a good idea to listen to it once and then make a decision.”
This situation was somewhat anticipated. Decibel was the first to step forward.
"Rifleman! You know what this is, right? This branch is really not that difficult. Just aim and pull the trigger."
She took aim with a quick, determined glance, but then quickly looked away from the sights and smiled.
"Hey, you don't even need to aim like this. You guys move as units! Just maintain formation and create a good barrage, and that's it! If you don't like complicated things, I highly recommend it!"
-Oh? Really?
-That's right lol I'm not going alone like Denunna
-It's the most intuitive class, lol
-You can tell just by looking at it that it's tailor-made for you, right?
-But does that mean the competition will be that fierce?
-If it were me, I'd be a rifleman lol
As the chat window showed, quite a few participants were intrigued by the idea. However, no one made a choice right away. Aren't there still other members left?
Next, Eclipse stepped forward.
"Even if it's for the sake of recruiting, I will not deceive you with lies. The shield bearers will be a truly dangerous unit."
Everyone's eyes widened at his words. They said it was a merit, but isn't this just a warning?
"But that's why! I believe the Shieldbearers are the most chivalrous of troops! This is your chance to personally risk your life, protect your comrades, and confront the demons head-on, proving your courage!"
Eclipse raised his heavy shield in front of him and spoke in a stern voice.
“Whoever will practice chivalry with me is welcome!”
-KIA! This is chivalry!
-Just True Knights…!
-If you're a real man, you can't stand this lol
-There is a resonance in the recruitment of the Ikle Kyung…!
-To be honest, the shield soldier is the first row of OTPs lol
-If you want to enjoy it as a real person, this is the right place to go lol
It seemed like the atmosphere was getting serious, but the participants burst into laughter at Genome's appearance that followed.
“Well, no. You’re laughing even though I didn’t say anything? Do you think I’m funny!?”
The laughter grew even bigger when Genome playfully remarked on the absurdity of it.
"I like something as noble as Sir Eckel. Oh, but honestly! Seriously, honestly! There are more people who dislike risky things. Do you agree?"
Genome spoke while leisurely looking over the participants.
"Do I really need to explain the advantages of a heavy cavalryman? Yeah? No, if you have a conscience, you can't deny it. You kept telling me I was a honey trapper in the rear. If you want low risk, high reward, you should go with a heavy cavalryman rather than a rifleman."
-Ugh! Is this a recruiting speech?
-And then it gets ugly?
-But there's something else that's bothering me, Imari ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol you punk, don't say anything wrong again lol
-If you really want to live a long life, it might be a good idea to go for the heavy cavalry lol
While the viewers laughed, Lee Kyung-bok stepped forward. The other contestants, who had been pondering the situation, immediately turned their gazes to him.
"Well, at first glance, the Engineer branch might seem a bit boring. It's a support branch, not a combat branch. So, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who seeks the thrill and excitement of battle."
Lee Kyung-bok didn't raise his voice like the other members. Perhaps because of this, everyone listened attentively.
"But you can enjoy a different kind of pleasure than combat: the ability to change the course of a battle in your own hands."
As he spoke, Lee Gyeong-bok lightly moved his hand. The Mekapermusae perched on his shoulder followed his finger.
"Think of a time when your underdog team won thanks to your buffs and assistance. You could even rescue your comrades in danger and give them another chance to fight."
Lee Kyung-bok once again demonstrated his engineering prowess. The barriers formed in the air and the lights streaming from his suit captivated the participants' attention.
-That's what supporting feels like lol
-This is the reason why people play as conscripts in other games too.
-Really lol. It's a joke to hear thank you once.
-But when Godple talks, other thoughts keep coming to mind lol

-Why Godple?
-Isn't this a completely black corporate mindset, Imari? LOL
-omg!
-Ah haha even if it hurts, get treated and go back to work hahaha
-There is no sick leave in the Black Unit!
-???: Who wants to die on their own? Go out and fight!
-???: But it was not permitted.
-It turns out it's Hwang Hee-bu
-No lol did you do it lol
As viewers laughed at the chat response, the time for choosing drew to a close. The contestants finally made their decision after much deliberation.
"Okay! Time's over! I'll reveal the results right away!"
With Genome's shout, the participants' bodies became blurred and they were soon rearranged in front of the members according to their chosen units.
“Oh! What is it!?”
“This is quite unexpected.”
“Wow! As expected, it’s amazing!”
“Wow, there really are a lot of people here.”
-What the heck lol, you're aspiring to be a soldier
-So the popularity vote was right?
-Oh my gosh, I can't stand Godple!
-Huh? Looks like the heavy cavalry is in second place?
-Oh no! Kyung Lee is in 4th place!?
-King Shield Soldiers are really risky lol
The viewers and contestants alike were stunned by the results. Genome burst into laughter at the sight of those gathered before him.
“Oh, look at this! No matter what you say to me in the chat window, I’m telling you that if you were in my situation, it would be the same.”
Several of the applicants for the heavy cavalry academy immediately refuted this.
“Brother! This is a failed battle of wits!”
“Oh, I really thought the competition rate for the Chunom application would be low.”
But Genome didn't care. Instead, he raised his chin and spoke with a smirk.
"Oh, it's too late. I'm not allowed to enter the stadium. Ugh, I'm in second place, right? As expected of a top-tier team member, huh?"
As Genome threw out his comment as if he was trying to cheer up, the other members quickly exchanged glances.
“Okay. Since you want it this much… I’ll just assume you’re a top member.”
“Originally, it would have been right for me to prove it myself, but since the Genome Lord so earnestly wishes…”
"Hey, just let me be a good agent. Even if Agent Ji says things like that, he's still a good person."
“Huh? No, you guys? Is this it!?”
Everyone burst into laughter as Genome's eyes widened at him. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and quickly sorted out the situation.
"Good! Now that we're done with the application process, let's move on to training!"
“No, wait. Are you just going to leave like this? No, I got second place?!”
* * *
The military training was conducted separately by each member leading the participants assigned to them.
“Don’t overlap the diagonal lines! Fire!”
"We must move quickly while maintaining formation! Let's move again!"
"Each! You have to watch each angle carefully! If you do this wrong, you'll get a team kill!"
Although loud noises could be heard here and there, the training area for the engineering corps under Lee Gyeong-bok's command was peaceful.
-It's definitely safer to be an assistant lol
-It's war everywhere, but here it's class time?
-But there are the most people lol
-I can't stand the Perfect Solution 1st class lectures lol
-It's Professor Per, Imari.
Lee Kyung-bok looked at the chat, smiled, and turned his gaze. Over 200 participants were sitting on the floor, waiting for him to speak.
"Now, before we begin training, I'd like to conduct some research first. Is there anyone here who would like to join our direct unit, the Androids?"
As soon as the question was finished, almost everyone raised their hands. Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened and he said.
"Oh! So you know how to pilot a mecha-permuse. As expected, all the talk about it being difficult was just a joke."
“Huh.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
-Ugh haha …
-Android uses the same equipment as Godple lol
-I raised my hand reflexively and now I regret it lol
-Look at the pupil tsunami lol
-It's not an earthquake, it's a tsunami lol
-Is there anyone who can handle the mechanical armor to the extent of a god?
The participants who had raised their hands looked around with a look of surprise and slowly lowered their hands.
Lee Kyung-bok quickly waved his hand.
"No, don't feel too pressured. There will probably be quite a few people trying this for the first time, and I don't expect anything too overwhelming. Just know how to control gestures and form barriers. Oh, and of course, use both hands."
At those words, the participants looked at each other again. Some seemed to be moved, and cautiously raised their hands again.
“Oh, good! Number 149! Could you please step forward?”
“Huh! Me?”
“Yes! If it’s too much trouble…”
“No! No, I will!”
The designated participant, number 149, stepped forward, receiving looks of envy and concern.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly at him and waved his hand.
“Okay, first I’ll change the settings to Android.”
“Oh…! Mekapermusae!”
"Yes, that's fine. Are you feeling any discomfort? Just steer lightly and create a barrier at the location of the mecha-permuse I launched."
“Oh, yes!”
The slightly nervous participant took a deep breath and moved his hands carefully.
-Oh? What is it?
-You're doing better than I expected?
-Huh? Is that a good thing?
– Anyone who has tried this will definitely know lol
-It's hard to turn the curve so smoothly like that lol
-???: Hmm… that's the price?
-Oh my gosh, are you so picky because you only see the gods?
-Really lol If you're like this, you're in the top 1% of Kingban
Fortunately, the contestant safely formed the barrier and retrieved the Mekapermusae. The other contestants, as well as Lee Kyung-bok, applauded in admiration.
“Oh, you’re doing great! Now, if you can do this, you’ll be qualified!”
“Oh! Really!?”
“Yes, you saw the broadcast, right? Would you like to try it?”
As he spoke, Lee Kyung-bok created a barrier over the Mekapermusae and climbed up. At that, participant number 149, as well as everyone else, gasped for breath.
"Oh, I said this was an all-out war, right? The battlefield will likely expand, and mobility is crucial for quick support. Since my direct unit will have to move with me, you need to know how to do this."
-????????
-brother?
-Oh my gosh lol
-I knew it!
-Perfect standard again?
-The standards for direct units are too high!
-Seriously lol You're the only one who can ride a mecha-perm!
Just like the chat window's reaction, the participants' faces were filled with incredulity. Lee Kyung-bok gave an embarrassed laugh at that.
“Ah… I thought it would be okay since we’re not overclocking together. But if you try it yourself, it’s not as difficult as you might think.”
“No, but even so, this is a bit…”
"If you're having trouble balancing, a slightly different approach is fine. You're not afraid of heights, are you?"
“Huh? Oh, yeah yeah.”
"Okay then. It's easier to control it by lying down rather than standing on the barrier."
“Oh? Lying down…?”
Contestant number 149's pupils widened again, as if he was touched.
"Yes. If you're going to overclock, you need a wider field of vision, so it's easier to fly standing up. But if you're just going to fly, it's easier to lie down."
“Uh… I’ll give it a try.”
Everyone was surprised by his decision and then again by what happened next.
"and."
“You’re really good at it?”
“No, is this okay?”
It was thanks to this that the participant who had been moving forward hesitantly soon returned after successfully completing the flight.
“No, guys! This is seriously hilarious!”
He raised his voice and gave a thumbs up, perhaps a little excited by his success.
-Is King Ban-in flying too!?
-If a magpie imitates a stork, its legs will be torn off, but if it flies the way a magpie flies, it will be fine, Imariya.
-Wow lol I didn't think about it because Godple was standing and riding on the show the whole time
-This isn't as cool as Godple, but I think it'll be good enough ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-5252, Perfect Coaching has done it again!
Lee Kyung-bok also clapped his hands in congratulations and then started to sort out the Android applicants.
"You know there might be applicants from other battalions, right? It's a race for speed. Just reach the point marked on the minimap and return!"
While they were starting their flight race, Lee Kyung-bok wasted no time.
"Okay, so the rest of you are supporting the regular engineers. Your most important tasks aren't all that different: operating the barrier generator and installing the miniturrets! You need to do these well."
The participants nodded like good children.
"Why is this important? You can think of it as creating a safe zone on the battlefield. It's a place for others to rest for a while. Besides that, you follow others around and use boosters and healing supplies. Those aren't difficult to use, right? So we'll use the miniturret setup time as the standard."
The head that had been moving up and down suddenly stopped.
“A generous 30 seconds should do the trick. Just aim for more.”
“30 seconds…?”
“They say that even if you’re good at turrets, it only takes 3 minutes?”
“Is the mini turret different…?”
The contestants murmured and the viewers burst into laughter.
-Oh my gosh lol This hyung is really cool lol
-Hyung? Even with a mini turret, it'll take at least two minutes!
-Ah, 30 seconds is a bit much!
-Please give us some leeway, even though we're not even under your direct control!
-Most of them are newbies, so it's really confusing lol
Lee Kyung-bok blinked at the chat.
"Huh? Two minutes? No, I tried it myself and it took 10 seconds, so I set it to 30. Isn't two minutes too long to push the wire?"
-to?
-10 seconds?
-What time is it that you jump under the bridge? LOL
-Why did Guldari suddenly appear?
-omg
-Ah, that's a primitive ancient meme.
-30 seconds is really superhuman lol
Lee Kyung-bok nodded obediently at the rapidly increasing chat.
"This is taking longer than I thought. I understand. Then I'll just set the criteria in order of priority, without a minimum. Okay! Just install it as quickly as possible."
When he set the standard again, the participants were able to feel relieved.
“Oh, thank goodness.”
“30 seconds is a bit gloomy…”
“Oh, strangely, this unit seems more difficult than the other units?”
“That’s right. It’s definitely an assistant position…”
“I guess it really is perfect common sense.”
Although they were in a competitive situation, their feelings were similar.
* * *
All servers from the 8th Battalion to the 1st Battalion have completed branch training.
"Alright! This concludes the screening of all applicants!"
“Wow! Really! Everyone really worked hard!”
“I am deeply impressed by your will!”
“Wow, it’s already this late.”
Even though we tried to proceed as quickly and concisely as possible, it was already late, perhaps because there were so many people.
“Let’s give a big round of applause once again to our Skull Kim and Park Japcho, who have been with us until this very moment!”
“Oh, thank you so much!”
“It was a great help that the two gentlemen came to see me so readily.”
"Really. Thanks to you two, today's broadcast went very smoothly."
The members expressed their gratitude to Skull Kim and Park Japchae before wrapping up the broadcast.
The two smiled shyly and waved their hands.
"No, child. It's a mess! If you've received a favor, it's your duty to repay it!"
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t participate in OTP due to other schedules, but we are honored to be given this opportunity.”
-Huh? You're not joining the heavy smoker's union?
-It's such a shameㅠㅠ
-Thank you! You're a hardcore combo!
-In the meantime, the fracture happened again lol
-I really didn't think about X-Man lol
Both the viewers and the members were satisfied with the answer. Genome quickly snapped his fingers to return their attention.
"Now, where will the results of this hard-earned selection be announced? It's the Purge Day fan cafe! If you haven't joined yet, now's your chance!"
"Yes, that's right! We'll compile the evaluations and post an announcement. What if some of the selected candidates can't attend? Don't worry."
"Hmm, I'm sure another opportunity will come. I'll consider it a concession to others."
"Yes, if there's a vacancy, we'll contact you in order of waiting. Even if your name isn't on the announcement, you'll still be on tomorrow's broadcast! Don't miss it!"
The chat window was filled with laughter at the members' announcement.
-Oh my gosh lol It's not like it's a graduate school so why are there any quotations lol
-Stop the torture of hope!
-Right, lol. Who would miss this opportunity?
-If it's a natural disaster, there's nothing you can do.
-Still, you can't stand HOXY, right?
-I guess we'll have to watch tomorrow's broadcast through a capsule?
After making the final announcement, the members concluded the broadcast.
“Okay. That concludes the OTP recruiting!”
“Once again, a huge thank you to all the viewers who supported us!”
“See you again tomorrow, here in this place!”
“If you’re a fan, watch the original broadcast!”
“Follow the purge day!”
“Then see you tomorrow. Bye!”
The six streamers exchanged greetings and the screen turned off. But the chat continued to be filled with laughter.
-Ah, oh my god, chdmchng
-Really ㅋㅋ Even the interns came and it was a full-on fuzzy day ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-OTP is so fun, each one is so sharp?
-It's truly an unprecedented scale, so it'll remain as a memory for meㅋㅋㅋ
-I'm so jealous of those who passedㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-If you taste this, you won't be able to resist subscribing to Fuzzy Day lol
The majority of viewers expressed envy. The larger the audience, the greater the disappointment at not being included.
They consoled themselves by thinking of those who would feel even more regretful.
-But if you're Korean, you can wait for the next opportunity, lol
-Really ㅋㅋ Overseas fans are really awesome ㅋㅋㅋ
-Thank goodness we have a Purge Day, Imari.
-Even if we can't chat on tomorrow's broadcast, it seems like overseas viewers will flock to watch?
-Hellaformers fans have no choice but to come 100% lol
– Seriously ㅋㅋ It's not even update season, but a new mode is coming out. How can you hold it in?
-It hasn't even been a week since we became a full group, and here comes the monthly crew!?
-Ah, that's because it's fuzzy (nods)
In many ways, this OTP was sure to be the greatest ever.
