“Hello everyone, I’m Hirano Yuki, and I’ll be the commentator for the first Bloody Night 2 General Assembly. Please take care of me today.”
“Hello, I’m Rain, and I’ll be the caster for today.”
“Once again, I’m here to chat with Rain at the General Assembly.”
“Please take care of me this time as well.”
The Bloody Night General Assembly is an event where streamers from both Korea and Japan participate simultaneously.
That’s why the official broadcast often features a Japanese commentator and a Korean caster, and Yuki and Rain are one of the regular duos for the General Assembly.
Of course, the conversation is conducted in Japanese.
But since real-time translated subtitles appear on the screen, even if you don’t know Japanese, there’s no problem watching.
“When the news of this General Assembly came out, there was a lot of interest, right?”
“That’s right. People were wondering if a General Assembly would be held for Bloody Night 2 as well. Yggdrasil had been avoiding answering that question.”
“There’s quite a difference in gameplay compared to the previous game. Because of that, many people thought it might be too early to hold a General Assembly.”
“But here we are, holding it anyway.”
“Well, regardless of those opinions, it would feel disappointing if there wasn’t a General Assembly at this time.”
Rain’s words resonated with Yuki, who nodded in agreement.
“But then, what about the General Assembly for the original Bloody Night?”
“An official response came out this afternoon saying it will be held a bit later, in the fall.”
Anyway, this is the first General Assembly for Bloody Night 2.
So, Yuki and Rain started explaining various pieces of information, as well as talking about Bloody Night 2 itself.
From the differences with the previous game to the addition of new champions and system changes.
They knew that to attract more viewers, they couldn’t keep the information to themselves.
After finishing the general explanation, Rain took a deep breath and smiled before speaking again.
“If you’ve been watching the General Assembly, you’ll know that there’s always a special guest.”
“That’s right. So, who’s the special guest for the first Bloody Night 2 General Assembly?”
“If you’ve been enjoying Bloody Night for a long time, you probably know her. She’s the one who’s been praised as ‘even pros can’t match Rina.’ The only one who’s won both the VR Finals and the General Assembly! It’s Kaino Izumi!”
As Yuki spoke, a virtual avatar appeared between them.
“K-Konzu… I’m Kaino Izumi, a second-generation member of Starsflow and a mood maker… Today, I’m participating as a special guest for BN2…”

[Rene]
[Hello, I’m participating in the Bloody Night 2 General Assembly]
[Bloody Night 2 | 4,934 viewers | 00:01:11]
[Now, the last Korean team is the ‘Repent’ team, the only team that formed from the start for this General Assembly.]
[Among Tuni, Eri, and Rene, the core is said to be Tuni, the team leader. Rene just started playing FPS for this event, and Eri’s Bloody Night rank is Silver. Tuni is the only one with experience in ranked matches for both Bloody Night and Bloody Night 2. Her highest rank in Bloody Night was Bloody, and in 2, she’s currently Gold.]
[Honestly, it’s hard to call them a strong team. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a chance, right?]
[Yes. First, since they formed as a team, their teamwork should be much better than other teams that came together. And… um. There’s no information on these players!]
[After the General Assembly was announced, they only practiced together once! After that, there’s no record of them doing anything. They didn’t even get a coach to help them.]
[What kind of strategy are they hiding?!]
[W-Well, if the goal was to hide their strategy, they’ve succeeded…]
The official broadcast tried to sugarcoat our team’s evaluation, but the conclusion was obviously that we were at the bottom… literally setting the floor.
Well, our first practice stream together was a complete disaster.
And after that, we never left any records, so it’s only natural.
Honestly, I don’t think the evaluation is wrong.
Considering that the average rank of the other teams is Gold?
Tuni, who has the highest rank in our team, is only Gold.
She was a top-tier player in the previous game, but that doesn’t mean anything now…
[By the way, have you seen our evaluation on the community? It’s a total mess.]
“Yes… We’re getting a lot of hate…”
Because we entered the tournament without any proper practice matches or scrims, the Bloody Night 2 community’s opinion of our team was the worst.
[In the end, we’ll be the main characters, so there’s no need to worry about it.]
I really hope that’s the case.
If we fail, we’ll become the main characters in a bad way…
─Are you really just going to compete like this, Rene?
─If this team ranks, the entire Bloody Night series community will explode lol
─Rene, if you die early, I’m turning off the stream and going to bed…
You can tell just by looking at the chat reactions.
And the stream hasn’t even started yet…
★
And so, the first Bloody Night 2 General Assembly began.
The official broadcast showed Tuni’s screen as soon as the game started.
After all, everyone agreed they were the weakest team.
They thought it was almost certain that they’d be the first to die, so they wanted to give them some screen time.
“The map is ‘God of Machinery.’ It’s a map with a lot of equipment to acquire and frequent supply drops. It’s probably the worst map for the ‘Repent’ team.”
“B-Because there are a lot of weapons, so fights start quickly…”
“The ‘Repent’ team chose the classic tank, striker, and support positions. Among them, Rene, the striker, chose Rina. What do you think, Izumi?”
“Rina is a really difficult character for beginners… But the fact that they chose her might mean they’ve already given up…”
“What if there’s another possibility?”
When Rain asked, Izumi thought for a moment before slowly speaking.
“M-Maybe they’re really confident… Maybe they’ve prepared a secret strategy to win everything…? But if they practiced in secret, they would’ve done AI matches, so I’m not sure how they’d handle that…”
[Let’s go to the Oil Lake.]
[Got it!]
[Okay…]
Before Izumi could finish, Tuni’s team chose the Oil Lake area.
“Choosing the Oil Lake, are they planning to go for a defensive play?”
“That’s likely. If there’s any chance for the ‘Repent’ team, it’s through a defensive play. If the magnetic field works well, there’s no better area for defense on ‘God of Machinery’ than the Oil Lake.”
“But if the magnetic field acts up, it’s one of the hardest areas…”
After landing at the Oil Lake, Tuni’s team quickly spread out to gather equipment.
The speed at which they moved made it hard to believe they had almost no practice together.
Seeing this, Izumi became convinced.
“That team definitely practiced with AI matches…”
“Really? If that’s the case, I wonder what strategy they prepared with AI matches.”
[…Found it!]
Then, Tuni’s voice echoed.
In her view, there were two pieces of equipment in front of her champion, Ayla.
【Reaper – 50 Caliber Sniper Rifle】
The Reaper, the sniper rifle with the strongest single-shot damage, excluding the supply weapon, the Ultimate Dragunov.
And Muramasa, the melee weapon that is rarely used in the Bloody Night series, except by someone like Arsen.
“It seems like they plan to give the Reaper to Eri, the support player.”
“When there’s a beginner striker on the team, it’s the most standard play for the support to compensate for damage with a sniper rifle, right?”
“That’s correct. Rene will probably take the assault rifle…”
[Ah, thank you.]
But, defying Yuki and Rain’s expectations, it was Rene who took the Reaper.
And even Muramasa along with it.
“…Why did she take Muramasa just now?”
Rain’s question left Yuki speechless.
While it was understandable that Rene took the Reaper, taking Muramasa was an action that made no sense no matter how you looked at it.
Izumi also remained silent.
And then, as Tuni’s team finished gearing up, a notification rang out that another team was approaching.
【Tsubasa】【Ryoka】【Akari】
That team was the ‘Bakaka?!’ team, predicted to have the highest chance of winning this General Assembly.
“Ah, the ‘Bakaka?!’ team is approaching the ‘Repent’ team. It seems they’ve spotted someone falling into the oil lake. They probably came to preemptively block a potential prolonged siege.”
“Indeed, Tsubasa, the team leader, is quick in making such judgments. She even achieved a Bloody Rank in Bloody Night 2.”
“Will the ‘Repent’ team’s journey end here in the first round?!”
Bang!
And with Ryoka’s shot, the battle began.
From the start, they didn’t use all their skills, instead firing to gauge the opponent’s response.
Naturally, the ‘Bakaka?!’ team had the advantage.
This wasn’t just due to the difference in rank and skill, but something more fundamental.
“Where is Rene? The sniper rifle user, the most crucial in a siege, is nowhere to be seen!”
Indeed.
Even though the battle had started, Rene was nowhere to be found.
“This sounds ridiculous, but did they decide to sacrifice two members thinking they’d lose anyway?”
Yuki denied Rain’s absurd suggestion.
And as if answering the question, the battlefield’s visibility expanded significantly.
“Ah?!”
Rene had somehow positioned herself behind the ‘Bakaka?!’ team.
Boom!
A deafening gunshot echoed, and the 50-caliber bullet pierced through the head of Shiori, Tsubasa’s champion and the team’s striker.
Tsubasa’s HP bar instantly turned red.
But her HP was still there, and they immediately turned their attention towards Rene.
This meant Rene was isolated.
The Reaper’s damage was undoubtedly strong, but its rate of fire was low.
Tuni and Eri were too far to save Rene.
Of course, Rene could fire one more shot before they closed in, but they weren’t pushovers to be taken down by a sniper rifle firing openly in front of them.
Still, Tuni and Eri started running towards Rene, but the ‘Bakaka?!’ team’s support, Akari, made it impossible to land a critical hit.
The distance between Rene and the ‘Bakaka?!’ team closed rapidly, and by the time the Reaper was reloaded, Rene was already within their range.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tsubasa and Ryoka’s gunfire echoed, and Rene’s Reaper couldn’t counter their attacks.
“Ah, it looks like Rene is going to be eliminated!”
With the Reaper.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
For some reason, the sound wasn’t of bullets hitting but of something being deflected.
“…Ah!”
And finally, as if realizing something, Izumi, who had been quietly observing, spoke up.
“That’s it! That’s the strategy I thought of when BN2 was first released…!”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Rene was holding Muramasa.
And Rene started charging forward as if it were the most natural thing.
“BN2 added a system where you can parry bullets with melee weapons, right…? Melee weapons, if you can land a hit, deal damage comparable to supply weapons…! So I thought, how can we make melee weapons viable…? That’s why I concluded it would be Rina, who has the best mobility in the BN series…! Parry enemy attacks while using Rina’s mobility to close in…! I thought it would be incredibly cool, but I never thought I’d see it here…!”
Clang! Clang!
Dodging and parrying the enemy’s bullets.
Of course, it was impossible to parry every bullet perfectly, but that level of damage couldn’t stop Rene completely.
And when she got closer, Rene used the ‘Sprint’ skill.
The distance closed in an instant.
The ‘Bakaka?!’ team immediately aimed their guns at Rene, but they couldn’t hide their panic.
And unfortunately, that was the turning point.
A single slash cut through Tsubasa and Ryoka.
Tsubasa, whose HP was already at its limit, fell immediately.
Ryoka, who still had HP left, kept pulling the trigger, but Rene’s HP was still too high to be taken down.
【LeneVtuber Kill Tsubasa】
【LeneVtuber Kill Ryoka】
【LeneVtuber Kill Akari】
And just like that, all three members of the favored team were taken down by a single player.
“What on earth is happening?!”
“The ‘Bakaka?!’ team, the favorites to win, have been eliminated in the first round by the ‘Repent’ team!!!”
Even in such a shocking situation, Yuki and Rain continued their commentary like true professionals.
“That, that’s it, what I thought of…! I never thought I’d actually see it…!”
