Back when I was around middle school age.

Pastor Kim, seeing me return after a brutal fight, told me, "There are fights you must win, but there are also fights you should avoid."

With someone not worth your time, rather than arguing right and wrong, graciously yielding and letting go—that's the true path to victory.

Winning a fight without fighting is the mark of the ultimate victor.

Those words from Pastor Kim stuck with me as a cherished proverb even now.

Ever since, before any fight, I've meticulously weighed whether it's one worth winning or one to dodge.

And it always led to the same conclusion.

"Just verify it right away? How do I screen share?"

Pastor Kim, no matter how I think about it, this fight is one I have to win.

"No raids left after farming gold, so Sentinel subjugation it is. That cool?"

The only contents allowing Perfect Guard are raids and Sentinel subjugations.

With recent gold farming wiping out my raid queue, Sentinel was the only option left.

[Baedo donated 1,000 won!] [Anonymous: No problem]

With the opponent's permission granted, there was no reason to hesitate.

I immediately selected Sentinel subjugation and confirmed entry.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Ah, now I really have no idea..."] 

-But Sentinel means instant-death patterns are brutal, no?

-Isn't raid easier for PG?

-Never seen PG in Sentinel for real

Maybe siding with me, Eder's stream viewers seemed uneasy about the Sentinel subjugation venue.

Unlike weekly raids, Sentinel is a daily chore content.

So people play mindlessly, and memorizing even instant-death patterns is rare.

You can dodge by muscle memory, but it's not suited for precise Perfect Guard timing.

[Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [You losing?]

"Winning."

-lololololol

-Confidence ㄷㄷ

-Pls win noona

-ㄴWouldn't that be a win for us?

-Huh?

After a brief loading screen, my character spawned in a snowy landscape blanketed in white.

Finding and subjugating the Sentinel somewhere here was the alpha and omega of Sentinel subjugation.

Normally, you'd scour the map, but a detector item reveals its location instantly.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙[Saintess Nice used Detector item.] 

"Oh, right in front."

-Detector yeeted

-Gold farm fail

-Right there and you use it? lolol

Should've saved it.

Everything costs money.

-Kuooh!

The Ice Turtle charged the moment our eyes met.

Sentinel subjugation monsters have fixed encounter patterns.

This Ice Turtle's was a straight-line body slam after targeting.

"Guaranteed body slam, right? One, two, three—"

Knowing the pattern makes Perfect Guard a breeze.

⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡-Ting!

[Saintess Nice successfully Perfect Guarded against Ice Turtle.]

"One down."

-Encounter pattern is free real estate lololol

-1/10

-Baedo stripping live in prep, upvote

-I want noona to strip heuheung

-ㄴEueu

[Hwangol Joya has been forcibly kicked.] ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Hey kids, no crossing the line in chat..."] 

-Bro's alive lololololol

-Oh yeah this is Eder's stream

-Forgot cuz zero presence

"What, you're alive."

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Now I have no clue what's going on... haha.."] 

"Even so, it's your stream, Eder—how can you not host? That's straight-up dereliction of duty."

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["No, uh... yes... sorry.."] 

-She's evil af lololol

-Translation=It's your fault

-(Just wanna end stream)

-(Why are these idiots fighting in my stream)

-(Why did I invite this guy)

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["...Wasn't thinking that."] 

Thought he had full-body paralysis or something since he wasn't hosting or doing jack.

Good to see he's fine.

Still, gotta make him pay later for freeloading without hosting.

"Do you know why you all suck at Perfect Guard?"

Groggy from PG was about to wear off, so I decided to continue the Perfect Guard lecture for viewers.

One-handed sword Saintess can't rotate without PG anyway, so call it an extension of the build tutorial.

-Reaction speed?

-Physique

-Just old...

"You're mistiming the guard from the start."

Why do so many fail Perfect Guard?

Simple: wrong timing knowledge.

"Perfect Guard isn't pressed when the monster attacks."

-??

-Then when?

-Pre-press?

Right on cue, groggy ended, Turtle patterning at me again.

Raised right arm high—smash pattern.

"Next up, smash? One, two..."

The moment I started counting, its right hand hit the ground.

To anyone watching, it'd look too late for guard.

"Three."

⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡-Ting!

[Saintess Nice successfully Perfect Guarded against Ice Turtle.]

But judgment: success.

-Huh?

-Wasn't that late?

-Why'd that get success judgment

"See the difference this time?"

Guard timing isn't 'when it attacks', but 'when damage hits'.

That tiny difference trips everyone up.

[Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [No way the timing is right after the attack lands? How'd no one know?]

-Cuz you die instantly on fail, no one tries lololol

-Who'd even attempt that shit

-Why's the timing like that?

No excuse for the timing question...

Ias is just a trash game, what can ya do.

"Two down, one step closer to naked dogeza."

-lololololololol

-Don't run Baedo

-Wrong tree to bark up, Baedo gay lol

-Why her of all people...

Explanation done, time to wrap the duel and watch naked dogeza.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The stream concept was supposed to be showcasing weird hidden expert builds.

How'd it turn into a Sentinel dogeza bet fest?

⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡-Ting!

[Saintess Nice successfully Perfect Guarded against Ice Turtle.]

Eder finally snapped back to reality, but the situation was beyond salvage.

Bet already underway, no backing out now.

-Kyaa

-Zero misses ㄷㄷ

-How many left?

-Not a single one lolololololol

At least viewers weren't hating it.

Otherwise, Eder would've ended stream and deleted VOD pronto.

'Just end safely...'

Viewers hit peak, donations nonstop.

Successful so far, but Seongna's unpredictability was the issue.

⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡-Ting!

[Saintess Nice successfully Perfect Guarded against Ice Turtle.]

Seongna nailed all 10 Perfect Guards without a single miss.

Bet decided.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Alright, that's 10."] 

"Hoo..."

Saintess Nice flawlessly guarding Sentinel's instant-death patterns—ones no one bothers timing perfectly.

Even after the golden Perfect Guard tip, Eder couldn't replicate that play.

-So where'd he go?

-Dipped lolol

-Panic flee ON

Anyway, bet won, content wrapped somehow.

Eder, itching to end stream, sensed now was the only chance despite bad timing.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Did he bail or what..."] 

"Looks like it. Bet's done, so let's wrap up..."

Viewers who bet like this? 100/100 bail.

Especially naked dogeza? Guaranteed dip.

[Baedo donated 1,000 won!] [Been watching. Had no idea PG timing was different. Unreal.]

Why come back?

Actual retard?

[Baedo donated 1,000 won!] [Sorry Saintess Nice, I spoke out of ignorance like an idiot.]

-All talk?

-At least up the donation gay lolol

-We roast nicks openly, hiding anon is lame~

-Fr so pathetic

The moment Baedo resurfaced, peaceful resolution was doomed.

Can't do naked dogeza mid-stream, but skipping it would spark backlash too.

One silver lining.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["Yeah, well, you're probably the only Saintess PGing around, so you might not have known."] 

Win made her seem lenient, whatever the reason.

"Aw, fine buddy, no more of that next time!"

Handled right, could end on a wholesome note.

But that hope shattered.

 ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙["So, when are you doing the dogeza?"] 

-lololololololololol

-Where you gonna run Baedo gay

-Dogeza... gotta do it right?

'Ah, right—she's the crazy one.'
