I just went to see her die of embarrassment singing a weeb song, but it literally felt like I went to a famous voice actor's concert

She's a pro, for real

[Comments]

- She's literally mastered showing off with a sword lol

- I pissed myself listening to her say Charon's lines

- Honestly, she could go perform at an official event over there

- No cap, she sings live better than most musician aspirants

[Title: I'm going crazy because Seo Ji-ha is just so cute and lovable]

She sang even the super dizzying weeb songs so well, hitting all the points, but thinking about how she must have practiced while feeling embarrassed makes me really...

just...

I can't hold back again

- Honestly, it turns me on

- For real, it gave off the vibe of some hardcore practice lol

┗ She kept saying she hated it with her mouth, but behind the scenes...

Mahoyo CEO Zhuwei giving Seo Ji-ha a shoutout on their personal account lololol

[Comments]

- Why is she like this?

- Why isn't this considered aggro? lol

- But the quality was really good

- Especially the booba sword...

┗ I agree, it was just legendary lol. Zhuwei is also a hardcore weeb so it makes sense their eyes rolled back

Because it was a busking performance prepared so earnestly, the audience's reviews were entirely positive.

In particular, a few of the short videos filmed that day spread through various media and caused quite a stir.

- What the fuck, how did she do this?

- I don't know who she is, but she made my eyes pop out

- Incredible quality, cosplay of the year

- Absolutely insane

- There's a Charon living in Korea

Charon, the character Ji-ha cosplayed as, was a globally popular character regardless of country.

Accordingly, even among overseas subculture gamers who didn't know Ji-ha previously, her name gradually began to spread.

- Dammit, why isn't a talent like this streaming on Twitch?

- Sorry, but Korea doesn't have Twitch anymore, friend

- Oh, really...? That's pretty fucked up

In the end, there was only one place where overseas users interested in Ji-ha could even set foot: Ji-ha's Ji-Tube channel, which was operating in a half-dormant state.

- Looking at it, there aren't many videos?

- She uploads occasionally, but it doesn't seem very active

- Is this her first time cosplaying?

- Please show some interest here too

One day after the busking finished, comments from overseas users began to appear one after another on Ji-ha's Ji-Tube.

And in such a situation, Ji-ha's stream, having finally finished her break, turned on.

Ding!

[Live / Seo Ji-ha08 : Small talk and announcements]

#

"...Yes, for that reason, starting today, we'll be bringing on an editor to help manage the Ji-Tube channel."

- lol

- lolol

- Before that, shouldn't telling us about the busking review be the way of the Murim?

- You're changing the subject so much today, perhaps because you're very embarrassed...

- I enjoyed the song, Ji-ha lol

- Explosive cheers! Planet★Rabbit! lolol

The viewers were full of thoughts to tease Ji-ha, who had piled up all sorts of dark history, but to such reactions, Ji-ha chuckled and countered as if finding it amusing.

"...Everyone, did you know?"

- ?

- ?? lol

- Yes?

- What do you mean?

"When a person experiences too many things in a short period, their sense of shame also becomes dulled... meaning it's no use trying to tease me about the day before yesterday."

- lol

- lolol

- That's true, though

- That's seriously funny lol

- Then, is an encore performance possible here?

"...Th-that, I'm sorry, but I can never sing that twice in my right mind. It's the first time I even knew such a song existed in the world."

Ji-ha shuddered and shook her head as if just thinking about it gave her PTSD.

And she began to simply recount what had happened the day before yesterday.

"Still, there were many people who actively responded, so, um, it was a lot of comfort. If I were alone, I would have been twice as embarrassed."

- You finally recognize our worth

- The song list was pretty intense

- Will you upload the recording to Ji-Tube?

"...No, since many of you recorded and uploaded it anyway, wouldn't it be fine to be satisfied with that?"

- If you insist, it can't be helped

- There are already some uploaded by song on fan tubes lol

- But looking at it like this, the main channel management is really half-hearted

"You think so too? Since I haven't paid much attention to it so far..."

Before long, the topic naturally shifted to recruiting an editor, and after announcing the recruitment guidelines she had prepared, Ji-ha immediately set to writing the channel announcement.

In the meantime, a viewer raised a question.

- But then who edited the videos uploaded so far?

"Obviously, I did it myself."

- ?

- ??

- Is this real? lol

- No wonder the uploads were so sparse;

- Was it a cottage industry? lol

"In the first place, I didn't have money back then... I was in a situation where I couldn't hire someone even if I wanted to."

- You can surprisingly do anything

- Is this what being multi-talented means?

- I suddenly feel a sense of isolation and deprivation

- Is this your first time editing??

"That's not it. I studied and practiced a little in the past too. In the end, isn't it the result of effort?"

After that, Ji-ha chatted about trivial things for a long time before ending the stream earlier than usual.

It was because she had an important errand she had finally decided on during her one day of rest.

"......"

Creak.

Thud.

Having silently finished her preparations, Ji-ha soon opened the door and stepped out of her house.

The place she arrived at after traveling for a long time was the 'Center', an institution exclusively for Awakeners, of which only three existed in South Korea.

Beep!

【17】

After pulling a waiting ticket and waiting for her turn, Ji-ha's turn came before long.

Arriving in front of the employee who started attending her with a kind smile, Ji-ha handed over a few documents she had prepared in advance and said this:

"The 2030 3rd quarter Hunter mandatory training course... is registration still available?"

#

As mentioned before, as of 2030, the conditions for acquiring an official Hunter qualification are quite demanding.

First, one must complete all the mandatory training courses hosted by the government, and only by passing both divided exams can one be recognized as a proper Hunter.

"......"

Ji-ha had previously completed the training course, but because she had a gap of over a year without taking the exam, she had to go through all the procedures again from the beginning.

In a word, it meant the work had become very troublesome.

Rattle.

Thud.

Arriving at the designated lecture room and pulling out a chair to sit, she began to feel glances from all around.

Since a strangely dressed woman came to listen to the training even wearing a mask, it could be considered a truly natural reaction in a way.

"Excuse me, perhaps..."

"Ah, yes. Go ahead."

"Aren't you Seo Ji-ha08? I came after watching your stream yesterday."

Honestly, Ji-ha was a bit dumbfounded.

She had realized her popularity through the recent busking, but even so, it was because she still hadn't adapted to such a rise in recognition.

"...Uh, um, that's right."

"Wow, as expected! I'm a huge fan! So have you decided to be a Hunter now?"

At the woman's attitude of throwing questions with completely sparkling eyes, Ji-ha felt a little embarrassed and fidgeted with her hands for no reason.

"No, well... I'm not planning to be active officially, but I thought it would be better to at least acquire the qualification."

"Ah, I see. Still, it's nice to meet you. Let's work hard together."

The woman, who introduced herself as Seo Hye-ji, smiled brightly like that, took the seat next to Ji-ha, and took out her notebook.

"For someone like Ji-ha, just getting the qualification guarantees B-rank, right? I'm so jealous."

"...My rank will probably stay the same. I heard you need to build up a lot of achievements in various ways to raise it."

"Still. I'd be thankful just to reach C-rank. Actually, even when about 40 people gather like this, those who go above C-rank are, at best, maybe two or three."

That would certainly be the case. Even among those who awakened unique traits suitable for combat and met the minimum standards to become Hunters, only those who properly possessed experience and sense would be able to reach C-rank level.

Waiting about 5 minutes with a faint smile like that, the appointed time finally arrived, and a man with bulging muscles appeared on the lecture room podium.

Then, scanning the inside of the lecture room with a grave expression, he soon tilted his head as if he saw a bizarre sight and quietly opened his mouth.

"Um... by any chance, that Seo Ji-ha..."

"......"

Needless to say, being famous beyond necessity didn't seem to be entirely a good thing.
