ADAPTED FROM BUTTERFLY BLUE'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME, THE KING'S AVATAR

Do I need to ask anymore?

This is what happened, Captain.

At first, he asked me to complete a mission with him.

I didn't agree to it.

But he threatened me.

He said he was going to use an unfinished object,

like an umbrella or something,

to add some excitement to the current game of Glory.

-I told him not to-- -Hold on.

He really said that?

What he really said was this.

"I am going to add a little excitement

to the current game of Glory."

That's how he said it. He seemed serious.

I won't lie to you. That's really how he said it.

Sorry, Ye Qiu.

You still have time to complete a mission after a competition?

We obviously haven't been training you enough.

Captain, didn't you say you were going to drop this matter?

-Are you going back on your word? -Yes.

-Unless... -Unless what?

Copy the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella over.

What? Are you stealing...

Captain.

Isn't that action shameless?

Blue Rain has always been honorable.

-Isn't this... -Why is this shameless?

We're only borrowing it to study it.

Once we're done, we'll return it.

Right, you might not be able to defeat him.

Hey!

Captain, you must be kidding!

I can't defeat him?

Given my current skill,

I'll turn his umbrella into ashes!

Three hours. I'll wait for you.

Really?

When can you finish that training to have a match with me,

Master Ye Qiu?

GLORY TRAINING CAMP

Hurry!

Attack!

-Don't rush. Watch me. -Hurry!

Why are you so slow?

-Just a few more moves. -Hurry!

-Well done. -Attack him!

You have a chance!

-Yes. -Not bad.

-Not bad! Well done! -You win easily.

How many times have you won?

Yu Wenzhou is awful at this!

He's too slow!

He's no match for you.

Quiet down.

I have an announcement.

We'll have official evaluations tomorrow with an elimination system.

Does everybody understand?

-Don't leave. -Don't leave.

Yu Wenzhou.

You are the only student I've seen who hasn't won in an official match.

If you lose again this time,

you will be eliminated.

If you want to stay in eSports,

you'll have to work hard.

Understood.

All right, students.

Line up and draw lots to determine the teacher you'll be up against.

-You draw first. -I'll be leaving first.

-You draw first. -Go ahead.

-Don't be shy. -Stick your hand in.

-Don't be shy! -Just draw.

-It's just drawing lots! -Hurry up.

-Hurry up. -Just draw.

-Let's see it. -Who did you get?

-Open it. -Be quick with it.

-Hurry up. -Who is it?

Who is it?

-Don't hide it. -Show us.

-Holy cow. Ye Qiu! -Ye Qiu!

-Ye Qiu? -Holy cow.

-You hit the jackpot! -Right.

One who has never won against one who has never lost.

-The odds are stacked against you. -That's right.

-Good luck. -Good luck.

Keep trying.

It's okay.

I felt extremely inferior

because of my classmates' ridicules.

I practiced with mad determination the entire night.

TRAINING DUMMY

A Warlock against a Battle Mage is an uneven match.

The only way to turn the tables

hinges on my ability to release my strongest attack, Curse Arrows.

But this move requires a ten-second incantation

for it to reach full power.

I'll surely get interrupted.

My only chance

is by holding him captive for ten seconds.

The binding only lasted five seconds.

My incantation will be interrupted.

I need to gain another five seconds.

This is going to be pitiful.

-He is going to lose. -That's right.

-They're not on the same level. -He won't win.

-He definitely can't. -It's impossible.

-It has begun. -It has begun.

Dragon Tooth Sprint! Mr. Ye is starting off so ferociously!

-No mercy. -A rush attack from the start.

-Hey, look up! -Look.

-Mr. Ye Qiu! -Mr. Ye Qiu!

Five!

-Four! -Four!

-Three! -Three!

-Two! -Two!

-One! -One!

Two minutes and eighteen seconds.

This became the motivation that pushed me forward.

Ye Qiu became

the opponent I wanted to go against most in the competition.

I did it.

Please wait for a moment.

-What's that? -The Myriad Manifestation Umbrella!

Captain, I strictly followed your orders and brought back

the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella!

Mission complete!

Hey.

Does Blue Rain always steal so conspicuously?

Right out in the open!

It has been a long time.

It certainly has been.

You two wicked...

wickedly close friends should catch up.

Why don't I leave you two to talk?

I'll take this with me. Bye!

Are you interested in my Myriad Manifestation Umbrella?

Let me experience the power of that weapon and an Unspecialized.

This is the 2 minutes and 18 seconds I owe you.

This is the 2 minutes and 18 seconds I owe to myself.

Concealing yourself

to prevent interruptions.

-Clever. -Thank you.

An incredible weapon indeed.

It seems your incantation speed has improved.

But that's all there is to it.

Oh, there's more!

Did you go all-out this time?

I go all-out in every match.

An Unspecialized with Myriad Manifestation Umbrella

might just be able to change the landscape of the league.

However...

You might be able to rely on this combination

to stir the pot at the moment.

How do you plan on passing Heavenly Domain Challenge?

I'm not like you.

Too much planning wastes brain cells.

If you have the time,

I think you should first figure out

how to keep Huang Shaotian on a tighter leash.

Ye Qiu.

I hope the next time I see you, you can add some excitement to Glory.

Every one of us experiences growing pains.

In the world of Glory, we learn to make peace with ourselves.

TEAM TINY HERB

Okay, give me a smile.

Three, two, one.

Good.

Cross your arms.

All right, three, two, one.

Good.

Turn your head 45 degrees.

This way.

Okay, three, two, one.

You still don't like it?

-The eyes are too obvious. -Yes.

One is bigger than the other.

That's all right. I'll make some adjustments.

-Make both eyes bigger. -Sure.

I got it.

Hold this.

Look up 45 degrees.

This one will do.

The eyes are fine now.

-Captain. -What is it?

There's someone on Tenth Server named Lord Grim.

He has caused a lot of friction between the major guilds.

I suspect

he is a professional player from another team

trying to stir up trouble.

Done with today's work!

Today's mission will be strenuous.

Is everybody ready?

-Ready. -Ready!

Forty-seven!

Forty-eight!

How are you holding up?

Fifty-three.

This is so unfair!

You take out several at once while I have to go one by one!

Your attack speed is faster.

Toya, the Boss we're fighting this time

isn't too difficult to beat.

The reason it's taking us so long

is because there are so many steps before we reach the Boss.

Not only is it tedious, but there's also a time limit.

We can't mess up, Little Tang!

Worry about yourself.

Little Tang and Ye Xiu have been playing Glory all day.

They're working quite well together.

She used to play with us.

Why is she always playing with him now?

-Keep going. -Watch where you go.

Two in front.

-Little Tang. -Speed up.

Little Tang?

Hold on, Guo Guo.

Little Tang, bring on a Sky Strike.

Okay.

Good.

-Little Tang. -Ramp it up.

A new bakery opened up nearby.

I heard it's really good.

Let's go together.

When I have the time.

Watch your back.

What's the matter?

There are a few problems I can't solve.

I need your help.

Teach me.

Of course. Why don't you mark them first?

I'll take care of it later.

Let's continue.

You're gaming every day.

Did I hire you to play Glory?

Get to work!

From now on, practice with Little Tang to improve her skills.

Treat that as your job.

To the left.

You think you're so clever, do you?

Delete!

No!

-Stop it. -It's my phone!

Who let you record me?

Guo Guo!

Little Tang.

Let's go out and do something.

My treat. Let's go.

All right, stop it.

We're on a raid right now.

We'll go later, okay?

Move back.

Release a strong attack.

Watch your health points.

Heal me.

TEAM TINY HERB ANNUAL EVALUATION

The intensity and degree of difficulty of our team isn't the right fit for you.

Return to the training camp.

Improve your skill level.

Then come again.

My name is Qiao Yifan.

I play an Assassin in Team Tiny Herb.

I am a professional player.

A pro player whose performance always ranks last

and has never

played in competition.

GAO YINGJIE

I HAVE TO LEAVE

Gather round!

Two and three!

QIAO YIFAN: I HAVE TO LEAVE

Yingjie.

Come take pictures with us.

Come on.

Yingjie, Yifan left for training camp.

He probably won't be coming back.

Save this picture for us.

Give us some space.

Let me take a picture with the future team captain.

-Okay. -Ready.

I'll knock you out with my brick!

I was fighting it!

The kill goes to whoever beats it.

LORD GRIM HAS OBTAINED THE KEY TO BOSS TOYA

Everybody, take ten.

The next Boss, Toya, is going to be a tough battle.

Didn't you just say it won't be difficult?

It's a raid designed for ten players

to be fairly easy.

But there are only three of us.

Shit.

Lord Grim is already at the last step before battling Boss Toya.

If it goes as expected, he'll be first again.

Is that so?

All members!

Be in the training room in ten minutes

for an emergency session.

Your performance during this session

will be included in this month's evaluations.

Those who don't show up will fail this month's evaluations.

What kind of training session is this?

You fail by not showing up?

Does that mean I'll get my first public appearance if I do well?

Let's hurry.

Come on, Yingjie.

-Hello. -Hi.

Wait, Yifan!

-Yingjie? -There's another chance.

Another chance? What?

-Come on. -Where to?

Hurry up!

-Sorry! -Wait!

It's an event the captain is leading.

Perform well and you might not have to go to training camp.

-Ready yet? -Yes.

Let's go.

-Captain. -Captain.

Sit down.

-Go sit. -Yingjie.

You go first.

I'll find you.

We begin in five minutes.

I'll be waiting to see your results.

Take out someone named Lord Grim in Desolate Lands.

Thanks.

I need to find a computer in the next five minutes,

so I can take part in the evaluation.

Wait.

What's wrong?

There's an ambush.

Yingjie, take the lead.

Go.

-Got it! -Got it!

Spread out, engage in single combat.

-Liu Fei, get a lock on their positions. -Got it.

Yebo, watch out for Bao Zi. Don't underestimate him.

Xiao Yun, go hard on Soft Mist, but watch your stamina.

Got it.

TEAM TINY HERB EVALUATION SHEET

LACKS STRATEGY

LATEST LOCATION: 1072, 698

Take this brick!

Weren't you going to use a brick?

I still took you down with me!

Good going, Bao Zi. You got a kill.

Respawn quickly and come back to help Tang Rou.

She's in a stalemate.

-Okay! -No need.

Trying to see who's faster?

I don't think you can win!

Got killed off?

I told you to wait for Bao Zi.

Lord Grim has lasted so long without flagging.

It will be nearly impossible to defeat him in direct combat.

DESOLATE LANDS

Right! The Boss, Toya!

WEEPING CROW, AWETO, LORD GRIM, WHITE NIGHT BLACK DAY

ASHEN MOON

They have to pass this cave to reach Toya.

The complex terrain is perfect for setting up an ambush.

Shadow Clone!

Yingjie, watch your six!

TEAM TINY HERB EVALUATION SHEET

Losing

was within my expectations.

But I didn't expect to see you lose so quickly.

Xiao Yun.

Rashness is your greatest enemy.

The first to engage doesn't always win.

Yes, sir.

Liu Fei.

Concern for your teammates is good.

But you lose sight of the big picture

every time a teammate is in danger.

This is the main obstacle you need to overcome at the moment.

Yes, Captain.

Yebo.

Captain, I will practice with the low-level account

and seek out Lord Grim for revenge tonight.

Do you believe today's failure

was because you were all using low-level accounts?

I...

Is that what you all think?

You are official members of a championship team,

but you're being sent to a dungeon

to ambush a normal player.

It's not worth your full effort.

Am I right?

Yingjie, what do you think of Lord Grim?

He's formidable.

How formidable?

He's experienced.

He effectively utilizes his attacks and techniques.

He makes every decision with precision.

He's stronger than all of us.

Yes, he is.

So strong that he wiped you all out.

That's why you must never underestimate an opponent.

This was a good lesson.

Study the replay on your own time.

I hope you will learn something from this.

Who is this Lord Grim?

The one you fought today

was the biggest boss in the history of Glory.

Ye Qiu.

-Ye Qiu? -Ye Qiu?

Look!

Interesting.

Yifan, hang in there.

Tell him to stop.

I'll go find him.

You're very clever.

It's just a pity that you haven't realized your flaw.

What flaw?

He's a master on another level.

-It's so hot. -He's amazing!

-What are you all watching? -Today's training clip.

Isn't this the part where Yingjie lost?

-Yes. -That's it.

That is hard to watch.

Do you know what this is?

It's called Shadow Clone.

Yebo?

Rewind it.

Yebo?

Where's the captain?

Where's the captain?

He must have left.

It's not a big deal.

He was just afraid you would lose horribly.

After all, the opponent is the great Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu? Lord Grim is Ye Qiu?

-He's a master. -Right.

When will I become so skilled?

Keep practicing.

No more water?

Yifan?

If you're not busy, can you get a cup of water for me?

Yifan, make that two.

Look at you, Liu Fei.

Let's watch you.

You were the first to lose.

Don't watch. I wasn't at my best today.

I'm usually better than this.

In truth, I think it would be good for Yifan to go to Glory training camp.

If he stays in our team,

he'll always be the errand boy.

Let's keep watching.

This loss was even more brutal.

Keep practicing.

Liu Fei? Yebo? Here you go.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Isn't that just a cool move?

That's awesome.

Isn't that you?

Incredible.

But then again,

what does that matter?

He's not as strong as Team Tiny Herb.

That's right.

Oh, right, Yingjie.

I heard the restaurant we order from all the time

will be closed for renovations.

We probably won't be able to order takeout from them for some time.

Make sure you eat enough for both of us.

Why do you look so sad?

I'll only be away for a few days.

It's not like I won't be back.

Come back soon.

Of course.

When I get back,

I want to see you defeat Lord Grim.

I heard them all saying that the captain intends to groom you

to be his successor.

Yingjie.

All the best!

You too.

Work hard.

Bye.

In truth, I think it would be good for Yifan to go to Glory training camp.

If he stays in our team, he'll always be the errand boy.
