Chapter 59: The Threshold of Grandmaster.

Yesterday, when she brought me home for the first time, Yu Sieun had achieved a destructive winning streak that completely reversed her consecutive defeats from a few days ago.

In fact, what I did in that reversal wasn’t that significant.

I tried to be faithful to the original purpose of coming to tutor, and as part of that, I faithfully performed my role in the feedback and mental care aspects.

But it wasn’t the kind of influence that could make someone who was on a losing streak suddenly start a winning streak.

That fact was also revealed when I checked the results of today’s performance by Yu Sieun.

Yu Sieun, who had been solo ranking for two hours without me, had cleanly added two more wins to yesterday’s record.

The queue was caught quickly, and Yu Sieun was in the early stages of her third game.

As it was the early stages, it was impossible to know for sure whether she would win or lose.

But the atmosphere didn’t look bad. It was the kind of game where I felt like she would win, for some reason.

If Yu Sieun wins this game as well, Yu Sieun will almost reach her highest score.

Yu Sieun’s highest score – if you call it top rating, it’s at a level where you can reach Grandmaster by winning about six more games from there.

But the thought that this journey would end quickly didn’t come to my mind. It was because of the experiences over the past few months.

Yu Sieun had reached a similar level of score two months ago, a month ago, and even just a few days ago. But she didn’t reach Grandmaster.

When Yu Sieun’s account reaches top rating, roughly around Master 500 points, a strange thing starts to happen. She repeats wins and losses for a few days, staying in place, and then suddenly loses her score in a losing streak, returning to 200 or 300 points.

This was almost a law. Or, it was the flow of the world. Viewers who used to chuckle when such things happened for the first few times were now seriously suspecting the intervention of such factors.

The only difference between the times when such a flow occurred and now is that there is one person watching the game next to Yu Sieun. But as I admitted earlier, I wasn’t a person who exerted much influence.

Perhaps the flow of score regression will manifest this time as well.

‘…Hmm.’

It is a good thing for everyone involved in Yu Sieun’s broadcast if she achieves Grandmaster cleanly like this.

As such, it would be best to continue the winning streak, but the repeating strange phenomenon seems to instill a superstitious belief in people, so I didn’t think things would proceed hopefully.

Still, it would be nice if I could help as much as possible.

I had finished all my work.

From now on, I was thinking of playing the role of a victory totem – an object that makes the team’s luck better and the game goes well if you put it next to you, as I was called by Yu Sieun and some viewers yesterday.

However, since the game was in progress now, it wasn’t a very good timing for me to enter the room where Yu Sieun was broadcasting.

With the intention of killing time and having a simple snack, I opened the door and went out. I had refused Yu Sieun’s suggestion to have lunch earlier, and I hadn’t eaten breakfast either, so I felt a little hungry.

It was when I had just arrived in the kitchen that I discovered a bowl on the table and a note next to it.

It said she put it there because I would be hungry.

It even said that we should eat dinner together.

I smiled a little as I looked at it.

It hadn’t even been a few hours since I started living in the same space as another person, but it seemed like I had already made a new experience for the first time.

I got up from the sofa in the living room when Yu Sieun’s third game, which I was watching on my phone, ended.

The result of the game was a smooth victory as I had predicted when I first saw it.

Three consecutive wins.

Considering that she had won the winning streak from yesterday, Yu Sieun’s mood must be at its peak now.

There was no need for me to think a lot about opening the door and entering like an employee watching the boss’s angry face.

Although I have no intention of doing so, wouldn’t she laugh even if I took a cup of water and sprinkled it on her right now?

I sent Yu Sieun a message saying that I would go in, and when the read mark appeared, I counted to 10 and opened the door.

Yu Sieun was looking at me. She had a smile that seemed like a giggle would come out.

I took a step and sat on the chair next to Yu Sieun like yesterday, then opened my mouth.

“Hello.”

Yu Sieun probably wanted to do what she did yesterday again.

But among the live broadcast viewers, there seemed to be many people who had memories of the previous day, so the same intense reaction as last time did not come out.

I should say that people who were surprised were surprised, but the number was small.

The point at which Yu Sieun opened her mouth was also faster than yesterday.

Yu Sieun, who briefly recited my information, started to brag to me about the achievements she had made today after finishing the introduction. She looked quite happy, as I had expected.

“You seem to be feeling good today too?”

“Yeah. It’s going really well. I should have had a teacher next to me to play the game a long time ago.”

“Actually, I think it’s more of a totem than a teacher… You won even though I wasn’t right next to you until just now.”

“Then I should correct it to Eunsol instead of teacher. Challenger Totem.”

“What are you saying. Anyway, I’m glad the score went up a lot again.”

“Right. Is it about 8 wins to Grandmaster cut now?”

“Based on when I checked earlier, it’s about that much.”

A sponsorship message came up when I was talking with Yu Sieun about the current progress.

[‘OO’ has sponsored 1000 won!]

<Has the teacher been here since earlier?>

“Yes. Eunsol has decided to stay at my house until I go to Grandmaster.”

It was Yu Sieun who answered the question.

However, there seemed to be a misunderstanding about labor exploitation, so I added a little explanation to it.

“I was only staying at home and commuting to unnie’s house, so it was hard… So I whined to unnie, and she told me to stay in the next room, so I packed my bags and came today.”

-That’s amazing

The reactions of the viewers who heard my words mainly included words with meanings close to ‘amazing’.

Certainly, even from a general perspective, what Yu Sieun is doing for me now seemed to be quite a groundbreaking treatment.

Yu Sieun, who had been quietly watching it, spoke to the viewers in a slightly smaller voice for some reason.

“…………It’s because it’s Eunsol that I’m doing it for.”

“I’m very grateful. And I just finished editing, and unnie… Ah. Should I not say this?”

“Huh?”

“That, on the table.”

“Ah, did you eat it deliciously?”

“Yes. But I adjusted the amount so that I could have dinner with unnie.”

“Good job. Ah, the queue is caught.”

No, finish your sentence

The atmosphere of the broadcast, which had been friendly until the match was caught, continued afterwards as well.

“Um… then, would Ashe be the best? What would you have done if it was Eunsol?”

“Ashe is good too. If it was me… I don’t know. I just tend to pick what I want to do at the time. Right now, maybe Xayah?”

Although one topic of conversation was cut off in the middle, Yu Sieun didn’t talk about it again after finishing her pick, judging that it wasn’t a very important element.

The fourth game of today, and the first game I was conducting while sitting next to her.

If Yu Sieun had lost in this game, my function as a victory totem would have been questioned, but Yu Sieun maintained her winning streak from yesterday in this game as well.

Victory.

It was the moment when Yu Sieun returned to Master 500 points, the 5th floor, once again.

“Haa….”

It was a return achieved after experiencing a tremendous fall once, but there was no tremendous reaction from Yu Sieun as she looked at the rising victory mark. All she did was let out a short groan of haa.

It was the opposite reaction from when she had been smiling a lot when she had been on a winning streak just a little while ago.

From a general perspective, one would not be able to understand Yu Sieun, but viewers who had been watching Yu Sieun’s broadcast for a long time knew the reason for Yu Sieun’s current appearance.

Let’s imagine a test taker who has been taking a test for a long time.

It is a sad story of a test taker who always gets a score sufficient to pass in mock exams, but fails when actually going to the real exam and continues to take the exam.

Even for a test taker with such a story, the feeling of doing well on a mock exam is naturally good. Just like Yu Sieun’s mood, who showed good form and team luck and came up, was good.

But if you brought the real test in front of that test taker, would they be able to laugh with the mock exam results?

Of course not. They are afraid that the same failures as before will appear, and they quietly think about success and failure as the previous memories come to mind.

The reason why Yu Sieun entered that mode now must have been that.

500 points. 5th floor.

The magical zone that always played the role of the final boss in Yu Sieun’s journey towards Grandmaster.

Yu Sieun meditated with deep breaths and turned the queue.

The fifth game of today started like that.

‘Hmm’

I intuitively felt while looking at the contents of the game.

The flow of the world that was preventing Yu Sieun from achieving Grandmaster seemed to be slowly starting to move.
