Chapter 32: The Commentator
The fact that someone was livestreaming in an area where Hunters were defending against a Break was utterly ridiculous, but one couldn't argue that it was clearly having a positive impact on the battle.
When Hunters are immersed in combat, it was difficult to keep an eye on their surroundings. If anyone was separated from the rest of the group or the front line was breached, it was easy for people to get seriously injured or even die.
Kim Ki-Rok's commentary managed to reduce the frequency of such incidents. As he covered the Hunters in battle, he also made sure that they were seen as more than just one of many by mentioning each of them by their individual names.
At the same time, this served to prevent any cowards from sneaking away by themselves.
"Ten minutes! It's already been ten minutes! What on earth could have happened? Could there have been some kind of accident? Why haven't any of the five guilds operating near Mapo District arrived yet?!"
Kim Ki-Rok's commentary was also forcing any of the guilds that might have been passively waiting out the defense to actively join the battle.
"Right as I say that, a D-Class guild based in Mapo District, the Hey!-You-Good-Bro?![1] Guild has arrived. So they're a bit late, that's fine. Even if their levels are low, they can still provide support from the rear. On top of that, as one of the guilds that operate around the Mapo District area, they should probably be familiar with the local geography. They can use that knowledge as they provide rear support. Again, provide rear support!"
"How would they best go about providing said support? The Association and the government have prepared supplies in the nearby underground shopping mall as a precautionary measure in case of a Break like this! All the HYGB Guild needs to do is to go and bring back those supplies and start distributing them!"
The HYGB Guild had been milling around in confusion like lambs dragged to a slaughterhouse, but after listening to the instructions through the loudspeaker, they dispersed into teams of threes and fives. Weapons and potions soon started to fly across the battlefield.
"Now the pride of Mapo District, the Flower Guild, has finally arrived! Not only that, it's their famous Team One! This team is exclusively made up of B-Class Hunters! At the head of the team is the ace of the Flower Guild, Miss Yoo-Na, who has won countless fans with her outstanding looks and figure!"
A young lady, whose looks were more suitably described as cute rather than beautiful, widened her eyes in surprise at the unexpected atmosphere filling the scene.
"On top of that, her skills are also exceptional! The ace of the Flower Guild! Yoo-Na! Do you really have to hog all those blessings to yourself before you're satisfied?!"
