Chapter 161 : Team All In
Chapter 161: Team All In
Redok’s posture while doing a handstand was so impeccably straight it was hard to believe he was upside down—truly the epitome of etiquette!
Even Baek Woohyun, who was always composed, couldn’t help but flinch in surprise before what could be called the grand bow among bows, the ultimate form of respect that transcended mere courtesy.
Though it was less about the grand bow itself and more about encountering a man standing upside down the moment he entered the private space, either way.
“Hmm.”
However, the surprise was brief.
Baek Woohyun quickly returned to his usual expression and looked at Redok with interest.
‘He’s someone who knows how to use his body well.’
The fact that he showed no sign of wavering despite maintaining such a difficult posture clearly demonstrated Redok’s abilities.
This was especially true considering that this wasn’t a place like Reverse Planet where additional physical performance enhancements existed, but rather a personal space created by Redok.
Surely he could do the same in reality as well—by controlling his well-trained body with excellent balance.
Of course, it would be ridiculous to judge whether someone is strong based solely on something like this. That’s just one aspect, after all.
However, from what Baek Woohyun had observed, just as people who’ve eaten meat know how to eat it well, those who had learned to use their bodies efficiently tended to be strong.
In fact, Redok held a Master tier, served as an SSR Cup team leader, and had even won the auction speed competition among team leaders.
‘This is enough to put him on the candidate list for raid party members.’
“Hello, Kang Soyul-nim! And Hackphysical-jwa-nim!”
-Lol Reha
-The greeting being normal makes it funnier lololol
-Feels like some kind of nor~mal~ cosplay
-For real;;
While Baek Woohyun was inwardly considering him as a party member candidate, Redok lightly spun his body and stood up with a grin. His face showed no signs of exertion whatsoever.
Naturally, this raised Baek Woohyun’s already high evaluation even further. It meant he handled his body far better than predicted.
The viewers were giggling at the sight of the red-haired man grinning brightly like a crazy person doing a normal person cosplay.
“Hello!”
“Hello.”
“Oh! You’re both really welcome! Please come this way and have a seat! This is Kang Soyul-nim’s seat, and this is Hackphysical-jwa-nim’s seat!”
Of the two seats Redok pointed to, Kang Soyul’s seat wasn’t particularly strange. It just had a nameplate that read “Kang Soyul-nim” sitting there plainly.
Since the other team members’ seats also had similar nameplates, it seemed Redok had prepared them himself.
“……?”
The problem was Baek Woohyun’s seat.
It was clearly raised one level higher than the other team members’ seats, and the chair itself was extravagantly decorated like some kind of throne.
The visual was so shocking that Baek Woohyun found himself involuntarily turning to look at Redok.
“Isn’t it magnificent?! I specially prepared this for the director and coach who will work hard for our team!”
-Lmfao this guy really is crazy lololol
-What is this humiliation play lololol
-If it were me I’d just sit on the floor lololol
-The fact that he already made the director sit there is fucking funny lololol
‘Iknowbut’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[Redok is a really famous crazy person yeah;;]
“…Hello. I’m Director Enre.”
“Yes, hello. I’m Baek Woohyun.”
To make matters worse, Director Enre, who had already been victimized(?), was sitting in a similar chair next to him. He had a somewhat enlightened expression, if you will.
Since someone was already sitting there, Baek Woohyun simply shrugged his shoulders lightly and didn’t ask to change seats.
Of course, given his personality, he would have just been briefly puzzled even if no one else was there. The fact that he detected no mockery from Redok also contributed to that judgment.
“Now that everyone’s gathered, shall we start with simple self-introductions?! I’m Redok, the team leader! Our goal for this SSR Cup is to win the championship! I look forward to working with you all!”
-The guy saying he’ll win spent a thousand points all-in?
-Hackphysical-jwa “just do it for me” meta
-But he really does do it for them lol
-The fact is that actually gives a higher chance of winning
“Oh right! My main build is ‘Fire Mage’! My sub-builds are also mostly fire attribute! Because I like red!”
Starting with the spirited man with very striking red hair, team leader Redok.
“I’m… Yujeujeuje… My main build is… ‘Shadow Mage’… Please take care of me…”
-Oh my Yujeujeuje
-Why is this person so withdrawn? Did someone say something?
-No she’s just naturally like this
-Number one person I wonder how she even does personal broadcasts
A long-haired woman hunched over with her head deeply bowed, Yujeujeuje.
“I’m Dodo! I don’t have a main build! I just use whatever I feel like! Please take care of me!”
-Wow looking at their match history it’s true
-In the last 20 matches there’s not a single overlapping build lol
-When a Bronze keeps randomly switching builds they stay Bronze for seasons;
-But at least they have conviction
A man evaluated as perpetual Bronze because he randomly used whatever build he wanted, Dodo.
“I’m Lee Sihoo. My main build is Kim Hana’s ‘Storm Guardian’ build. Please take care of me.”
-First time seeing someone actually use that build
-It is a hard build to use since it’s hybrid;
-That’s why he’s in Bronze lol
-I saw earlier he was grinning thinking about learning from Hackphysical-jwa lol
Self-introductions proceeded smoothly up through the hooded man staring at Baek Woohyun with anticipation-filled eyes, Lee Sihoo.
They were all quite unique individuals in many ways. To the point where one couldn’t deny the viewers chattering that they weren’t unsold for no reason.
Too timid to even make proper eye contact despite being Diamond tier, a low-tier all-master Bronze, and not just that but a Bronze who couldn’t give up on high-difficulty builds.
-Seeing them all together is legendary
-Suicide Squad ㄷㄷ
-So this is what a team of unsold players looks like
-The scariest part is the team leader is a bright-eyed lunatic;; He wasn’t even unsold;;
‘Is this okay, Woohyun?’
‘Let’s just trust Woohyun-nim for now. Redok-nim is also, well, impressive in skill.’
It could truly be called a total disaster.
To the point where talk of Suicide Squad and such emerged in the chat.
It was understandable that Jeong Nayeon was casting worried glances at Baek Woohyun, and that Kang Soyul had also decided that Baek Woohyun was the only one to rely on.
“I’m Enre, the director. Since this is my first tournament, I’m a bit nervous. Haha… Still, I’ll prepare diligently so everyone can grasp the championship.”
-This one seems somewhat normal
-Don’t be fooled, he’s Redok’s best friend
-What! Best friends with the bright-eyed lunatic?
-No they are best friends but he’s the one in charge of cleaning up Redok’s crazy acts
At least the fact that Director Enre was a normal person provided some comfort to the viewers.
The new revelation that he was Redok’s best friend raised questions of “Could this one be too?”, but those naturally disappeared once the explanation that he was the cleanup handler emerged.
Come to think of it, considering how he sat in Redok’s special director throne with an enlightened expression, Enre’s position was obvious.
“Hello. I’m Kang Soyul. My main build is ‘Golden Flash.’ Please take care of me!”
“Huh? Me? Why me? Um, I mean, I’m Jeong Nayeon. My main build is ‘Lightning Mage,’ but I’m not even an SSR Cup participant!”
-Lololololol
-Anyway just introduce yourself~
-She came for a bit and naturally became part of the team lol
-If you’re Hackphysical-jwa’s friend you’re a teammate right lol;
“……”
Finally, after even Kang Soyul’s and somehow Jeong Nayeon’s self-introductions ended, everyone’s gazes gathered on Baek Woohyun. Every single pair of eyes sparkled.
Since those gathered here weren’t fools, they clearly knew that this team’s beginning and end, its alpha and omega, was essentially him.
Redok throwing a thousand points at Kang Soyul wasn’t so much to get her on the team as it was purely to get him.
“I’m Baek Woohyun, participating as coach. Our goal for the SSR Cup is to win the championship. If you all follow what I teach you properly, I believe it’s sufficiently possible.”
“Ooh! As expected!”
“A victory declaration…!”
-Yeah this is it~
-Hackpinion) If I teach them, even this team can win
-Thinking of Superstar N, it seems really possible
-If it’s an SSR Cup underdog upset like B Team’s great reversal it would be truly ㅎㄷㄷ
‘YujeujeujeWinWish’ donated ‘100,000 won’!
[I only trust Hackphysical-jwa-nim! Yujeujeuje, trust Hackphysical-jwa-nim and let’s go for the win!]
-Victory contractor Hackphysical-jwa
-The viewers over there are even giving victory contract money ㄷㄷ
-Willing to pay anything to make their favorite broadcaster win
-True fan
Clap clap clap!
At Baek Woohyun’s confident declaration, team leader Redok and all the team members applauded. It was applause that carried an air of not expecting to hear such a firm declaration.
And the viewers felt no different. Who could have predicted he would declare victory so confidently even when facing Suicide Squad-level teammates?
This was possible because Baek Woohyun had served as an instructor even in more difficult situations over ‘there.’
“How should we coordinate the schedule going forward! I’d like to have practice time for about three or four hours every evening until the tournament starts!”
“I’m fine anytime! I cleared my entire schedule until the tournament!”
“I’m also fine. If I can learn from Hackphysical-jwa-nim, clearing my schedule is no problem.”
“…Yes, if it’s evening… I’m fine too… Ah…! S-sorry… The day after tomorrow I have an unavoidable schedule…”
“Yujeujeuje-nim is unavailable the day after tomorrow! Okay, confirmed! We can switch to private lessons then so don’t worry!”
-Everyone’s overflowing with passion
-To win you have to work hard
-The Bronzes should get some private lessons from Hackphysical-jwa
-If we can somehow get them up to Gold level it’s really a win
‘Ooh.’
Thanks to Redok leading the team smoothly, schedule coordination was also very easy. Everything from group practice to individual practice schedule adjustments proceeded seamlessly.
Watching this, Baek Woohyun could see the makings of a raid party leader in his leadership-filled appearance. He thought it would be of great help in coordinating raid schedules as well.
Though that was only if he accepted the party member offer.
‘I really want to recruit him.’
“Now there’s just one last thing! Today we’ll do just this and then dismiss!”
“Oh! Please speak!”
“It’s deciding the team name! What shall we call our team!”
“……”
“……”
-So~ quiet
-Who cast a silence spell
-Everyone averting their eyes in unison is hilarious lololol
-Deciding team names is hard;
When the topic of the team name came up, silence descended on the previously lively space.
Even Dodo, who had been in sync with Redok, subtly averted his gaze, so there was no need to mention the others.
Especially the timid Yujeujeuje was even trying to hide her face with her long hair, as if she wanted to disappear from the spot entirely.
-Something big is coming! Something big is coming! Something big is coming! Something big is coming! Something big is coming! Something big is coming!
-Laughter ready! Laughter ready! Laughter ready! Laughter ready!
-Ah lol I’m going to lose my belly button again today lol
-Wow! Kyah! Pyah! Good! Everyone ready to be amazed? Already trembling at how amazing it will be!
‘ㅇㅇ’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ]
“……”
The reason was all too clear.
So much so that even Baek Woohyun could immediately realize it.
Between the chat, donations, and the absurd expectations being scattered about piling on the pressure.
Who could dare flaunt their naming sense before these people!
‘Ah.’
Only then could Baek Woohyun realize.
That Cha Seongcheol’s naming was a choice full of courage and conviction.
Separate from his terrible naming sense, the mere fact that he confidently presented his own name before tens of thousands was an amazing feat.
Moreover, didn’t he keep pushing forward and eventually make people completely immersed in his naming?
‘It really was amazing.’
“How about we simply name it considering the team’s characteristics?”
“Oh! Good idea! For example?”
“Since everyone except Kang Soyul-nim was unsold, how about Kang Soyul and the Kids—something like that?”
-Hmm…
-No good
-Death penalty
-Hell
“Sorry!”
Even Dodo, who had barely stepped forward, immediately fled when he sensed the poor reaction.
Naturally, there were no challengers after that.
“Then I’ll decide arbitrarily! Since we went all-in with a thousand points for victory, our team name is also All-In!”
-Ah so boring
-Hell
-Hmm… is this right?
-Were expectations too high
“Does anyone object to team ‘All-In’!”
“It’s fine!”
“No objections.”
“…G-good…”
“Sounds good.”
Team leader Redok also stepped forward here and neatly decided the team name as ‘All-In.’ Even adding the plausible reason that they went all-in with a thousand points on victory.
While the viewers booed, Redok didn’t care at all. It seemed the red-haired man with bright eyes had ultra-alloy mental fortitude.
Baek Woohyun gave Redok a mental business card for the raid party leader and gave a thumbs up. Just like the other team members.
“Our goal is victory! Fighting!”
“”Fighting!””
It was the moment team ‘All-In’ was born.
