[Worry-Solving Broadcast] Should I Learn Ice Magic or Fire Magic? 【Lily】
111,000 viewers watching | Started: 18 minutes ago
[I’ve skimmed through the advantages you all wrote down… but none of them really stood out to me.]
The time for “examining the advantages of ice magic and fire magic”—or rather, the time spent stirring up the ice-faction and fire-faction fans—was over.
111,000 viewers in just 18 minutes. I can’t help but chuckle.
I didn’t even need to check to know the current state of the gallery.
It was probably flooded with posts about Lily’s stream.
Well, that’s because you were just trying to stir things up in the first place.
Conscience?
What’s that?
Is this really a “worry-solving” broadcast?
Feels more like a test of patience for the ice and fire factions.
This is seriously insane lol.
Lily just relieved her stress by toying with the fire and ice faction fans.
[Hmm… but didn’t you all enjoy it too?]
So now she’s trying to drag the viewers down with her?
Maybe the ones who didn’t enjoy it were too busy fuming in silence, unable to even type in chat?
The fact is, it was entertaining lol
Well, yeah, ‘cause controversy is engaging lolol
Who would’ve thought she’d roast everyone lolol
So, she broke her viewer record again.
Does this mean the fire vs ice debate content ends here?
[Anyway, it’s hard to choose just one like this… so I’ll need some help.]
Yeah, right.
There’s no way she’s ending this in under 20 minutes.
That would be admitting she’s incompetent.
What she did so far was just a warm-up.
The real show was about to begin.
[Master, who am I?]
A maid roleplayer
Someone who thinks they’re actually a maid
The mastermind behind the Fire vs. Ice War
That one thing
The gallery’s ultimate baiting terrorist
A sharp-tongued, unemployed bum
[Yes, I am the flawless and perfect maid VTuber, Lily. And surely, I must have some fellow maids, right?]
Maid colleagues?
Huh?
Wasn’t this just a character gimmick?
What’s going on?
Suddenly, she was bringing up something unexpected.
When making a VS-style debate content for streaming, what’s the most entertaining approach?
Opinions may vary, but personally, I think…
[I’ve invited a fellow maid who specializes in ice magic and another maid who specializes in fire magic. These two will debate their respective magic types. The Masters and I will listen to the debate and make the final decision.]
No way, is this for real?
Suddenly pulling the “call a friend” card
So, are her “friends” using avatars too?
Don’t tell me she’s just gonna play both roles herself…
Yeah, debate content is always a solid go-to.
[Alright, then! I’ll get ready to be the moderator.]
As she said that, a piece of paper with “Moderator” written on it stuck to her face.
[Now I’m all set!]
This is so cringe, lol
Just change your name to “Cringe” at this point
Why the hell did she put that on her face?
Why did she do that?
Well, because for what comes next, she needs to cover her face.
[Now then, Fire Magic debater, please enter!]
At Lily’s words, a familiar cardboard cutout appeared on the left side of the screen.
It was a maid cutout with a piece of paper on its face, drawn with a flame symbol.
Moving exactly like the moderator Lily and speaking in the exact same voice and mannerisms, the fire magic debater introduced herself.
[I’m Maid Lily, here to tell you how magnificent fire magic is.]
???
What the…
???
Where are the maid colleagues?
Oh, don’t tell me…
[Next, Ice Magic debater, please enter!]
This time, a cutout popped up on the right side of the screen.
It was another maid cutout, but this one had an ice symbol drawn on its face.
Moving exactly like both the moderator Lily and the fire magic debater, the ice magic debater spoke in the same voice and tone.
[I’m Ice Lily. I will do my best to guide my dear acquaintance onto the right path.]
Flame Lily, Ice Lily… what the hell.
Is this really a one-person debate?
My chest feels so tight from secondhand embarrassment.
Does this person have no friends?
This is just absurd, lol.
How is she not embarrassed doing this?
If you’re feeling secondhand shame, you’re normal.
So today’s stream was actually an educational piece on why you should make friends.
Is someone holding a knife to her neck, forcing her to do this?
Yes.
Today’s main content was a one-person debate.
A content idea that demands insane broadcasting skills, a true test of a streamer’s ability.
It was something that wouldn’t have been attempted if not for the radiant talent the Third Princess displayed in her first-ever stream.
Can a one-person debate even work?
Wasn’t the preparation time way too short since she only brought it up yesterday?
Well, at least I wasn’t worried about her being unprepared.
The Third Princess is an Ice faction diehard.
A hardcore one, at that.
She once had an all-out verbal war with Fire faction members in the gallery, furiously opposing the very idea of using Fire Magic—even though this was all just RP.
“Know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”
Fighting the Fire faction meant she had to understand their logic.
To beat them, she had to dig into their weak points.
And to uncover their weak points, she had to study them.
Ironically, the Third Princess, being an Ice faction zealot, had an exceptional grasp of Fire Magic.
That’s why—
[Between Ice and Fire Magic, which one is more frequently combined with other schools of magic? Fire Magic. It has a clear advantage in versatility.]
[Are you unaware that recent academic research has shown that reaching the pinnacle of magic is easier when focusing on one school rather than mixing several? Versatility is no longer a merit.]
[You do realize that only 3 out of 100 mages ever reach that pinnacle? Isn’t talking about “the pinnacle of magic” completely unrealistic?]
[Have you forgotten the words of the legendary Grand Mage Chaval? “True magic is realized only when one surpasses the pinnacle. Thus, all mages must dedicate their lives to surpassing it.” To say that reaching the pinnacle is unrealistic… can such a person even be called a mage?]
[But then, consider Alexandne, the genius who revolutionized magical theory without ever surpassing the pinnacle. Clearly, Chaval’s words aren’t absolute. Oh, by the way, Alexandne was a Fire Mage.]
[If only 3 out of 100 mages reach the pinnacle, then Alexandne was one in history. Let me return to your earlier argument: isn’t bringing up Alexandne completely unrealistic?]
[…You arrogant Ice zealot.]
[You self-righteous Fire fanatic.]
A one-person debate can be done.
Is this person suffering from a split personality disorder?
This is Fire vs. Ice Magic discourse at an advanced level.
This is an expert-level debate, wtf.
Why is a one-person debate this intense?
Even the gallery doesn’t go this far.
How does someone who supposedly never studied magic know all this?
This suddenly became an educational broadcast.
No way, is she an actual major in this field?
But seriously, why is she taking this so seriously?
It’s so ridiculous that it’s actually hilarious.
[Alright, the debate is over! Now it’s time to choose!]
The one-person debate was finished.
[The decision will be made by viewer vote!]
Now, only the audience poll remained.
The Third Princess probably still believed there was a chance Ice Magic would win.
She likely thought that by keeping the debate balanced and avoiding bias, she could secure a consolation ticket from Ray Volcan.
And to be fair, she really did her best.
She tried to keep the debate as fair as possible, ensuring neither side seemed significantly weaker.
She avoided outright favoring one side too much, fearing that an obvious bias would backfire.
However…
The result was already set in stone.
Sure, the Third Princess tried her best to conceal her Ice faction bias.
But no matter how much she tried to hide it, it would inevitably slip through.
After all, her knowledge of Fire Magic couldn’t possibly match her knowledge of Ice Magic.
No one can know their non-specialty subject as well as their main expertise.
And while not every viewer may have caught on to that, some, or even a significant number, did.
How?
Because the ones watching Lily’s stream right now were the same people who frequently debated Fire vs Ice Magic in the gallery.
And among them were people even more knowledgeable about magic than the Third Princess herself.
Still, revealing that Lily was an Ice faction supporter alone wasn’t enough to guarantee the result I wanted.
So, I pulled a small trick.
Why did I have her act as a punching bag at the start of the stream?
To make the stream more entertaining?
Sure, partly.
But the bigger reason was to build up resentment.
By having her provoke and stir up everyone, she unknowingly stacked up a “pettiness penalty.”
Then, at the right moment, I let the viewers naturally realize she was an Ice faction fan.
And then we vote.
Would the pettiness penalty affect the vote?
[Voting has ended.]
Answer:
Lily’s choice of magic is…?
Ice Magic: 32%
Fire Magic: 68%
[…Yes, Fire Magic wins by more than double the votes.]
It had a massive effect.
