Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 204, Section 201: Holy crap, there's a cheat code!
Shimamura Yuna wasn't simply throwing a tantrum or putting pressure on her teammates.

She simply realized that the team needed a leader, someone who would take the initiative to assume responsibility.

When faced with dramatic ups and downs in performance, from peak to trough, none of these teammates were able to maintain a stable mindset.

These people ultimately don't understand what it means to have a calm and balanced mind.

Perhaps, like Faker after S7, one must repeatedly win second place in important tournaments, get used to failure and regret, in order to learn to maintain a calm mindset in such situations.

Or rather, a calm and peaceful mind is not something that can be easily attained.

It requires tempering, setbacks, and experiencing many things.

For the CFO, this year's dreamlike journey has been too unrealistic and too smooth.

Therefore, their ability to withstand pressure was not developed at all during this process.

This is normal; they need time to grow.

However, Shimamura Yuna couldn't wait any longer.

She couldn't wait until these people grew up.

She didn't want to miss any opportunity.

She gets anxious, she gets angry.

She would want
'Since you haven't grown up yet, then I will take responsibility for everything.'

Yuna Shimamura stands tall on the field.

The competition officially began amidst a chorus of pessimistic predictions about the CFO and Yuna Shimamura.

In this game, something felt off from the hero selection phase.

Yuna Shimamura's gaze was more resolute than ever before, even exuding a murderous aura through the screen.

The other teammates also shook off the dejection they had shown in the previous game.

There was a resolute determination, like being given a military order.

The atmosphere within the team was extremely tense.

"Holy crap, look at Shimamura's expression, is she angry?" Ryujin noticed the change in the live stream and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Shimamura looks like she's about to pull a big punch this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shimamura Yuna revealed a determined look in her eyes. With the opponent picking Sion top lane first, she immediately picked Fiora.

"Holy crap, it's here! Shimamura's Fiora is here!!"

The moment this hero was selected, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

The cheers from the audience were so loud that you could feel your eardrums throbbing even through the screen.

Ryujin, who always loved to rave, finally roared in genuine anger: "Holy crap, it's really here! Shimamura-nee is bringing the real stuff!!!"

"Holy crap, Shimamura-san, they're coming to punish Doran!"

"I heard you're awesome, huh? You think your Doran is amazing? Then do you dare to challenge my Shimamura-nee's Fiora?"

When other players pick Fiora, viewers might think, "Holy crap, this idiot must be crazy, trying to avoid any regrets."

Even if this person is a master Fiora player, it's the same.

That's right, Fiora is just that bad right now.

As a character with severe functional disabilities who can only focus on laning and pushing lanes.

As a character lacking control, mobility, and with a rather cumbersome output method, he is not suitable for team battles.

The character's core laning ability has been nerfed multiple times in updates.

Line-carrying capability also requires equipment support.

This character is utter trash.

It's a character that only a highly skilled player can play, and even a highly skilled player might find it useless.

However, when Yuna Shimamura brought out this role, no one questioned it.

Because Shimamura's Fiora isn't a one-trick pony.

She is the scriptwriter.

She is a script that can block 100% of the time.

During the last World Championship, Shimamura's Fiora, with her perfect parry of Sion's Q, beat Zeus's Sion so badly he was covered in bruises.

This gives everyone a certain feeling.

Fiora is a bad champion.

Shimamura-san isn't good at playing Fiora either.

But when the opponent is Sion, and Shimamura chooses Fiora to counter him, then it will definitely work.

It's fair to say that the moment this hero was chosen, the audience's expectations were raised to their highest level.

It's not just the audience.

Even their rivals, T1, are starting to get a little nervous.

In the first three games, although T1 had an overall advantage, Doran really had no advantage in the solo lane.

The reason Doran was allowed to play a tank in this game was because we felt that "since we, T1, have found a way to counter this, there's no need to be so nervous. As long as Doran can hold his own, that's fine."

However, to everyone's surprise, Dolan picked Sion, and Shimamura Yuna immediately picked Fiora.

And without hesitation.

It was selected instantly.

This powerful aura even somewhat shocked Doran.

The match between Shimamura Yuna and Zeus, featuring a scripted Fiora, can be considered one of the most classic matches of the year.

The number of times a player blocks Sion's Q in a single game is enough to make a highlight reel.

How could anyone forget such a classic match?
Doran, of course, remembered it too.

As a result, influenced by his memory of that match, he began to lose confidence.

'I'm stronger than Zeus, how could I not let her toy with me like this?'

'Can I outmaneuver her?'

'Can I do better?'

He had no confidence in this.

Yuna Shimamura's Fiora will defeat Sion.

Shimamura Yuna's Fiora will definitely control the target with her W skill.

That's what the audience thinks, that's what the teammates think, that's what the opponents think, and that's what the commentators think.

There is only one person in the whole world who doesn't think so.

That was Shimamura Yuna herself.

Only she herself had a rational understanding of her own abilities.

Only she knew that the so-called 100% parry was a chain reaction after the other party fell into the psychological trap she had set, and it was just the result of her successful gamble.

This is by no means inevitable.

That's not something that can be done normally.

However, not everyone is aware of this rational understanding from their own perspective.

With such an ironclad precedent, who can be so certain that the same thing cannot be repeated?

Who wouldn't be afraid when facing off against Yuna Shimamura?
The myth has already been shaped in a victory.

The myth, however, has not yet been shattered by a single defeat.

Myths can instill fears that exceed reality.

Myths can grant people superhuman abilities.

Mythology is Shimamura Yuna's weapon.

Given the atmosphere at the scene and Dolan's own timidity, the game seemed to have a certain tone set from the very beginning.

As soon as the match started, everyone noticed something very strange.

That is, Doran simply doesn't dare to charge up his Q.

He seemed terrified that if he charged his Q skill to the point where it would trigger hard crowd control, he would be punished by Shimamura Yuna.

Therefore, he only dared to use the Q skill as an AOE skill that could deal instant damage.

Sometimes he could have saved up his strength a little longer, but he just didn't dare.

As a result, what could have been a winning trade ended in a loss.

Even the Dragon God laughed at the sight.

"Haha, look at Dolan's silly face, do you think he'll dare to fight back?"

"Shimamura-nee is here to beat up cowards like you! Shimamura-nee loves to bully weaklings!"

Yes, the enemy is afraid.

Myths are not necessarily true.

Myths are coincidences achieved by chance.

Myths are non-realistic exaggerations based on reality.

However, myths are real in people's hearts. Dolan believed in myths.

Therefore, he was afraid of mythology.

Myths are not reality, but these unreal myths, in turn, influence reality.

Yuna Shimamura was well aware of this, and she was consciously taking advantage of it.

'They are afraid of me.'

'They fear me.'

'And at this moment, I am the embodiment of true fear.'

The more Dolan retreated, the more Shimamura Yuna pushed forward.

The more Doran hesitated to use his Q, the more Yuna Shimamura deliberately adopted a "I'm going to let you use Q, let's see if you dare to charge it up" stance.

The "authenticity" of the legend is reinforced through actual actions, and the existence of the legend influences reality.

They influence and reinforce each other.

The game is not just about skills and tactics.

It's about psychology, public opinion, and determination.

Anything that can affect the game will be used.

At this moment, Shimamura Yuna is concretely using her "public opinion influence" by employing "stereotypes".

This was very useful in the early stages, and she gained a lot of advantages from it.

But as the laning phase progressed, Dolan seemed to realize a problem.

'I can't let her bully me like this without thinking.'

'I look terrible like this.'

'By doing this, it seems no different from simply admitting defeat.'

Dolan has indeed come to believe that he is not as capable as Shimamura Yuna.

This is a psychological imprint, a mark of surrender.

However, even so, he did not want to show weakness, he did not want to admit defeat.

When he realized he had been beaten so badly, he wanted to fight back to some extent.

'It's impossible that her W skill is always as accurate as the script, right?'

'I really don't believe it's that mystical!'

That's right, he wants to take on the challenge.

This kind of challenge generally has two possible outcomes.

If the challenge is successful, then all the myths, urban legends, and unrealistic content about Yuna Shimamura will be shattered.

Myths only need to be shattered once to cease to exist.

But
Yuna Shimamura had anticipated this from the beginning.

She knew she couldn't keep people intimidated forever by this myth.

She knew she was destined to be challenged.

So, what I need to do is accept the challenge.

Yuna Shimamura deliberately positioned herself in dangerous spots where Sion could charge up his Q skill.

They deliberately adopted an attitude of "I'm not afraid of you calling me, go ahead and try."

If Sion doesn't dare to use Q, then her bluffing will naturally work.

But she was actually concentrating the whole time.

Her attention remained highly focused.

She was always prepared for the possibility that Sion might suddenly want to challenge her, or suddenly want to charge up her Q to the point where it could knock someone away.

then
Just this once will be enough to validate the myth once again.

Myths are true.

And that moment will come soon.

Three minutes had passed in the laning phase when Sion finally unleashed his Q, exceeding the charge-up range for the first time against Shimamura Yuna.

This was his first time in the bureau.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been able to react in time.

Since this hadn't happened before, Shimamura Yuna should have been less vigilant.

No one can stay focused all the time.

Moreover, Sion's Q skill is difficult to react to.

'The one who reacted so quickly must be a cheater, right?'

Dolan had this thought in his mind.

'This is impossible to react to, isn't it?'

'Even if she were to realize it, it would only be after this Q, when her guard would rise again, right?'

'It can't be'

It's impossible that W was used for offense the whole time and then suddenly bounced off, right?
Isn't that a cheat?

However, Shimamura Yuna did it.

On the only Q that could be countered, Shimamura Yuna unleashed the first defensive W skill of the game.

Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade is activated; control status confirmed.
Then came the counterattack.

"Holy crap! This isn't a cheat code???"

It's hard to describe the feelings of the entire audience when they saw Shimamura Yuna's W skill, which was released almost without any error and instantly blocked.

In the instant that Sion was stunned, everyone felt a sense of unreality.

This move looks completely inhuman.

Even though W was held so tightly in the beginning, it didn't let me off the hook much.

Normally, at this point, one's attention is not so focused, so it's quite normal for Sion to steal a charged Q.

Moreover, this is a Q that has just passed its full charge.

How could anyone possibly react in time?

Is this human?
However, Shimamura Yuna did just that.

This looks like the script read Sion's instructions and instantly pressed W for Shimamura Yuna.

If this were posted on the ladder, it would definitely be reported.

But this is on the competition field.

Yuna Shimamura's computer does not have Word.EXE.

But her actions did indeed seem like she had opened a window.

The moment this counter-attack occurred, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.

Everyone was cheering for this move.

Commentator and audience.

Even Doran himself, who was caught off guard by the counterattack, couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh? Oh? Oh?"

Yes, he found it incredible.

It's like what?

It's like a Sion with his cards revealed is laning against a Fiora with cheats.

I knew it was a cheat, and I knew that if I used Q, I would definitely get banned.

That's why Q wasn't placed at the beginning.

And then they battled it out for a few minutes.
Dolan pondered.
"Sigh, let me see if he's actually dead or not."

I tried it, and holy crap, it actually worked!

Yes, that's exactly how he felt.

It's a feeling that feels fake and unreal, yet undeniable.

Being stunned for a moment isn't fatal, since Sion is quite tanky, and aside from his Q skill, his other skills have decent stats.

Even if Fiora hits you with a combo, you won't die.

However, it is true that a large number of personnel were replaced.

After this wave, Dolan has completely behaved himself.

He no longer tries to challenge Yuna Shimamura, no longer tries to out-react with her.

after all
Myths are true.

Indeed, Shimamura Yuna's performance in front of thousands of audience members, and her seemingly effortless parry, was a testament to the myth.
