Abyss nickname Cutie Camilla, real name Lee Jian.
At first, I thought I was dreaming.
As a fan of Kayak, I couldn’t miss this content. After all, Jian felt that there was no one better suited for the content than herself.
So, I hurriedly wrote a comment, but as I watched the comments multiply at a rate of one per minute, I quietly let go of my expectations.
While watching the broadcast live, I only wished to be selected.
When the 521st cannonball was launched, nothing was different. How many people would remember the number of their own comments? Even if there were some crazy fans among Kayak’s followers, Jian certainly wasn’t one of them.
She realized something was up when Kayak called out her nickname.
When her nickname was first mentioned, she thought she misheard it and just stood there with a blank face. After a moment, she quickly grasped the reality and screamed.
What was the competition rate, anyway? This was undoubtedly the luckiest thing to happen in a long while. Perhaps she had spent nearly half a lifetime’s worth of luck.
As the unexpected dream became reality, Jian rekindled the expectations she had put aside. How would the content with Kayak be? What kind of training would she receive?
Honestly, she wasn’t completely clueless. As a fan, she had watched the training sessions Kayak had conducted from a viewer’s perspective.
Most likely, like with Nicang and Riri, it would be strict yet step-by-step addressing of issues. It was going to be a very harsh feedback session, but Jian had already braced herself for it since the moment she wrote her support message.
In fact, Jian felt a sense of confidence in this area. What had driven her to play thousands of games?
It was her mental fortitude, renowned enough to make others exclaim in disbelief. Thanks to that strong mindset, she had never crumbled despite facing continuous defeats.
However, what Jian didn’t foresee was that she was a far more serious case than either Nicang or Riri.
And because of that, the feedback she would undergo was on a whole different level compared to what they had experienced.
“Cutie Milla!”
“Yes, what is it?”
[Here it comes, here it comes.]
[What did you forget this time?]
[I think I get it, haha. Like I said earlier.]
[A whip… I guess I deserve it?]
[That voice is seriously eerie, lol.]
[If I were a trainee, I probably wouldn’t even be able to answer.]
With an unexpectedly chilling voice, Jian flinched and trembled as he replied. Every time he heard the ridiculous name “Riri,” he froze like a child about to be spanked.
“What did you say to do when making a side push?”
“Um, well…”
Jian shivered and swallowed his words. Meanwhile, he was busy racking his brain.
He thought he had heard it clearly earlier, but what was it? He had just answered and moved on because he was too busy fighting the enemy.
It was the moment when Jian’s perception of Kayak changed. From someone who points out a lot but still answers well to, oh, he just answered well without thinking.
“You said to check the side and push, right? So you can see the opponent coming to some degree. You can decide whether to dribble or just let it go.”
“Yeeess…”
Was it because of the low tone of voice? Kayak’s chilling tone had something that intimidated people.
It was a far cry from his initially confident attitude. This was also the moment he realized that just watching it through the screen was different from experiencing it firsthand.
However, there was a part of Jian that felt it was unfair. Kayak was pointing out way too many things.
He was too busy with the game to think about each one of those matters. If he focused on each detail, he wouldn’t be able to control Camilla properly.
“So what have you been doing all this time? Did you just charge in mindlessly? For hundreds, even thousands of games?”
“Uh… yeah? I really don’t like thinking too much. I don’t want to strain my brain even while playing…”
[If that’s the case, play a game where you don’t have to think!]
[There are a lot of people like that in low tiers, my friend is the same.]
[Please refrain from excessive criticism.]
[This is why you can’t climb even after a thousand games…]
It was annoying how he was able to give precise answers. There was no frustrating side to it, but at the same time, how could one be so dense?
After all, games—not just games, but all aspects of life—are like this.
Although the starting points may differ due to individual talents, the longer you play, the better you become. After all, isn’t that why we call someone who has been doing something for decades a master? The more you do it, the more skilled you become, and you gain know-how.
It’s a way to improve. After all, why do we call someone a master when they’ve been doing one thing for decades? It’s because the more you do it, the better you get at it, and you gain know-how.
But the student in front of me was flat-out denying this basic principle, which was utterly ridiculous for Kayak.
They probably hadn’t even thought about it. Long-time users would usually know even the basic common sense in the game.
It was like they were just wasting time. Kayak stifled a sigh of frustration and continued speaking.
“You’re being punished for playing the game thoughtlessly until now. You need to erase all your previous habits and start learning from scratch.”
Continuing to play the game in this state wouldn’t be a problem. After all, games are meant to be fun.
However, if they left a comment about conducting an educational broadcast, it meant they weren’t satisfied with the current situation themselves.
“Yep…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you midway. If you just follow what I say and keep up, you can climb not only to Bronze, but even to Gold and Diamond. Just stop fighting with your teammates like you do now.”
“…Okay!”
Still, Kayak felt reassured that this person was exactly what she was looking for.
They seem to have a solid mental attitude and a desire to improve, along with a well-practiced Camilla gameplay.
“Still, your control is good. Your combos are neat, and you have physical abilities that aren’t typical of a Bronze player—.”
“Ah….”
Just as she was about to praise them, the screen instantly turned to black and white. They executed the combo well but had gone too deep, so to speak, they had overdone it.
‘Looks like it won’t improve immediately.’
She remembered pointing out a similar mistake earlier, so there was nothing she could do but feel regret.
There was a long way to go.
At this rate, Kayak might end up losing her voice first. She glanced at her empty glass and spoke again.
“Let’s take a short break and then continue.”

[Sorting viewer count on live Twitch from top to bottom jpg.]
The rising star Camilla is taking everyone down—!
– Can’t wait to really take them down
– But seriously, there are a lot of viewers, like almost 20,000? Did people really watch this many before?
N: It seems it’s because it’s a Camilla educational broadcast, yeah!
Looks like it’s a six broadcast, right?
ㄴ Right now, Camilla is OP even in the divine realm, so overall feedback is good, but there’s no one who knows how to handle her properly, and there’s not really anyone to inform.
ㄴ I can see why people would gather.
[At first, I was frustrated with the trainee, but they seem better than me, lol.]
How the heck is Camilla pulling off those combos? I can’t do it like that!
– If you’re worse than bronze…
– I’ve been watching since earlier, but their physical skills seem to be at gold level? Even among bronzes, they’re just a bit brain-dead. There are good players with the hero they play consistently.
– What tier is the author?
– Silver 4*
ㄴ There’s barely a difference with bronze, damn, lol.
ㄴ It’s a one-tier difference from “Chamilah,” they’ll catch up in no time.
ㄴ Silver noob… I shall “ban” you from our gallery.
[But hey, they’re not doing the Infinite Training Ground this time, right?]
What’s with just grinding ranked games? This is more entertaining to watch, but aren’t they going to lock us in the training ground for sparring like last time?
– The students’ level seems too low for that.
– They don’t even know how to win the game.
ㄴ For real, it’s not easy to be like that these days.
ㄴ Just watching the tournaments, you can roughly figure out how to operate.
ㄴ What a wasted heavenly card…
– Maybe they thought sparring wasn’t necessary?
– I feel like they’d do well in the training ground, but their physical skills seem better than Riri’s?
ㄴ Riri is still gold, though…
ㄴ Did Riri even make it to gold? When did that happen?
…
[Eternal is launching Beta next week, huh?]
This was supposed to be an anticipated game; wasn’t it mentioned in the gallery? Do people play it a lot?
– For now, Han Kang and Taker said they’d play.
– They said they’d start right as Dr. Kim comes out.
– What game is that, anyway?
ㄴ It’s kind of a survival base where you can use skills and level up; it’s a mishmash of everything.
ㄴ Just hearing the description makes it sound like a total flop.
ㄴ But if they mix it well, it might be okay?
ㄴ There’s only a paper’s difference between a god game and a total flop.
ㄴ Abyss was originally a total flop too.
– Is Kayak not playing Eternal? I wanna watch her broadcast it.
ㄴ Right? She hasn’t really mentioned anything.
ㄴ She probably doesn’t even know when it’s launching; she’s not interested in stuff like that.
ㄴ The viewers must have mentioned it a few times, but she definitely forgot.
ㄴ From the video, it seems like a game that requires a good amount of skill. I want to see Kayak play it too.
ㄴ For real, if she does well, she’d really be a talent monster!
