600 – Soccer (4)
Cecily helped to establish the soccer field. Arwen also tried to get help, but she refused because she was busy.
Unlike Cecily, she nodded and moved on, seeing as she was running the state affairs of a country.
Instead, it should be said that sooner or later he will come back with a big ‘gift’. I don’t know what kind of gift it is, but first of all, a gift is a gift, so I will gladly accept it.
So, with Cecily’s help, he accelerated the opening of the soccer field. First of all, it is the size of a football field.
At this time, I borrowed Mora’s help. I can’t remember because I saw it so long ago.
There is nothing wrong with drawing a line. Watch it from the sky using magic and it will be over.
The opening itself did not present any major difficulties. I gave beer to a dwarf living in the manor, and he immediately agreed.
If you buy the paint to draw the line in bulk, that’s it. The price of the paint was a bit expensive, but there was no problem.
‘The audience may get hit by the ball, so put the podium a little away…’
Although it is said that mana is not used, there are many people who have solid basic physical specifications.
It is a world where mechanical civilization has not been developed in the first place, so you have no choice but to take off anything with your body.
Even if they are old, if you look at their limbs, they all look sloppy. His stamina is so good that you wouldn’t even think of him as an old man.
The stamina of modern people is just a eunuch, but you should never ignore the Middle Ages. A place where the weak cannot survive and only the strong survive.
“We’ve got the clothes to separate the players. One team wears red, one team wears blue. The goalkeeper doesn’t have to.”
“Why don’t you wear a goalkeeper?”
“This is to prevent people who are not even goalkeepers using their hands secretly. Have you read the rules?”
The opening of the soccer field should be over soon, the only thing left is to inform the rules. The teams were divided, so there was no need to visit them individually.
Futsal is difficult, but soccer has even more difficult rules. The villagers tilted their heads while looking at the instructions I distributed.
The maddeningly large arena is breathless and choking, but there will be no choice but to make more rules.
“Offside? Anyone know what this means?”
“If you’re behind the defender, you think it’s an offside declaration?”
“Aha. I see what it is. Without this, one person only needs to be in front of the goal post. I guess it’s to prevent that?”
It’s an unfamiliar rule, but I learned it slowly. Many people think that medieval people are stupid, but they are not at all.
There are many people who lack basic skills and are not educated, but it is not that their intelligence itself is low.
In addition, the Minerva Empire implements public education to prevent illiteracy. The biography of Zenon is a bonus.
“Once you understand the rules, you can come up with your own tactics and come here in three days. Do you have any questions?”
“Did you make all of this, Bocchan?”
“For now.”
I didn’t lie. When I shrugged my shoulders and answered vaguely, the eyes of the local residents were filled with respect and anticipation.
It seems to be the idea of personally creating entertainment for the locals, but my conscience was not pricked…
In fact, I brought the sports of my previous life for their entertainment. It’s a win-win for each other.
“You don’t need to look at the church. It’s a game played in a prescribed stadium. You just have to enjoy it comfortably.”
“thank you!”
“I will work hard for Yeongji in the future!”
I smiled and left the seat. From behind, I heard the sound of the villagers devising their own tactics.
After that, he posted a notice on the notice board installed in the plaza and left. I didn’t forget to have someone hand out the rules manual.
Youngji already has a passion for soccer, but that’s futsal, not real soccer. This time, he is going to show real soccer to Young Ji-min.
I was also looking forward to it because I was fully prepared for it. However, there was a part that was not without a sense of improvisation, so there was a part that was shaky.
“······It’s better to use what prisoners use rather than mana detection tools?”
“Yes. There are handcuffs that prisoners wear. It would be better if you use them because you can’t use mana.”
“It seems to be okay…”
It is impossible to use mana, so they use handcuffs that prisoners wear.
“It’s been a while, Sir Isaac. It’s been months since I’ve seen you face to face.”
“…Is it really okay to bring Mr. Gartz to a place like this?”
“Sir Balack volunteered. The one remaining should probably watch from above?”

Like hiring Gartz as an assistant referee, while the other Reapers watch from above.
“······Father. Isn’t this a horn?”
“It was brought from the military. It will be noisy everywhere, so it will come in handy. It contains magic, so the sound will be different depending on the strength of blowing.”
“······”
The whistle wasn’t invented, so war horns were used, and so on.
If they are fantasy-like in many ways, they are fantasy-like tools. Still, there won’t be a big problem in progressing football.
As preparations progressed steadily, time passed and the scheduled day approached.
It’s hot in the summer, so it’s done before dinner. It was too late to do it anyway, and it was time for people to give up their work.
“When do you start?”
“I heard it starts at 5:00 PM. The total time is 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.”
“I want to eat after watching this.”
Maybe it’s because futsal alone is so popular, the audience is full before it even starts.
Young Ji-min, who could not enter the audience, had no choice but to stand nearby and watch. Security guards and priests were also deployed in case of emergency.
The church also invited me for the purpose of preventing injuries, and they gladly accepted it. I thought he would be reluctant because it was a ball game, but it was unexpected.
Anyway, all preparations are complete. I glanced at the towering clock and looked around at each team.
The team, as I said last time, are the natives and migrants who originally lived in the manor.
“We’ll start the match soon! Everyone get ready!”
As I shouted loudly, the players who had been warming up began to settle down. The audience seemed to have heard my cry, and it became quiet in an instant.
There’s no need to be quiet. Soon after, the migrant team started as a pioneer. In front of the migrant team, the native team stood nervously.
After leaving the words that I ask both teams to play fair, I looked at Gartz, who was hired as assistant referee.
As soon as Gartz met my eyes, he nodded his head to let me know that preparations were complete.
All preparations are now complete. I looked over each team and put the horn in my mouth. And······
Whoop whoop!
As the breath was exhaled low and long, the sound of the horn resonated far away, and the world’s first soccer game began with the migrant team’s starting axis.
aaa!!
As soon as the game started, cheers rang out from the audience.
It tells us that people’s lives are all the same, and that even though times are different, entertainment is the same.
In addition, the structure itself gave off a sense of Coliseum, at least similarly, which gave tension to the players and excitement to the audience.
‘Although I wouldn’t expect a high-level match.’
That’s just over two weeks. Even if you enjoyed futsal, it must have been far too long for you to sharpen your skills.
Most of the players still find dribbling difficult. However, entertainment that appeared in the Middle Ages covers it up.
Above all, it is the first time for the players as well as the audience. I don’t know if he’s good at what he’s doing or not.
Except for one goal.
squash!

Less than 10 minutes later, the Aboriginal team scored a goal after stealing the ball from the migrants.
The striker who scored the goal spread his arms and expressed his joy to the fullest. Then, he runs to where the audience is.
I don’t know if it was instinct or how it happened, but it was a ceremony. It must be the world’s first ceremony.
[Jace! Jace! Jace! Jace!]
It seems that the name of the person who scored the goal was Jace. Since you said it was the Jace team, you must be the captain of the team.
Jace, who exudes cool despite his middle age, trudged back into the arena with a deep smile.
The pleasure of scoring a goal. A different pleasure from futsal. Lastly, the support of the spectators cheering them on.
Now he would feel like a gladiator in the Colosseum. The protagonist of Rome’s most famous nightlife.
Boo Woo!
But the game isn’t over yet. As the ball returned to the center, I sang the horn vigorously.
The immigrant team became more cautious when the goal was scored, while the native team, on the other hand, became more riotous to score goals.
And the results soon became apparent. Because I was so excited that the players in the defensive area jumped forward.
Boom!
A powerful mid-range shot that lands as soon as space is visible. The ball went in a straight line and fell down as if it had hit the instep.
‘······Isn’t that non-rotating?’
Either way, the ball went straight into the goal. The goalkeeper threw himself to block it, but it was meaningless.
The player who scored the tying goal started to run around the ground screaming as if he had been engulfed in excitement.
The audience also reciprocated with cheers. On the other hand, the Aboriginal team’s audience was quiet.
This is the same point. After this, the game became more intense, and it started to show what kind of sport soccer is.
“It’s offside.”
“No. Why? I must have seen it and went in?”
“It is the assistant referee’s judgment that the shoulder took the lead first. The assistant referee who was watching from above also confirmed it.”
“Ac…”
The funny thing is offside. The players understand the offside rule perfectly and are trying to break through it.
I couldn’t be dissatisfied with the judgment, but a more accurate judgment was possible because there was an assistant referee watching from the sky like a satellite.
Isn’t it a waste to spend high-quality manpower on something like this? Not worth it at all. They said they would do it first, so I’m grateful.
‘I thought it would be a showdown between superhumans, but it wasn’t.’
The match went smoothly. Since I was the son of the lord, no one was dissatisfied with the decision, and there were few people who fouled.
Same goes for shooting. I thought there would be a shot that would come out of a cartoon somewhere, but it wasn’t.
Measures were taken to prevent the use of mana, and it is the old men who are running now.
In terms of their previous lives, they were muscular men trained through harsh labor.
In particular, the butcher man of the native team was showing off a great performance.
‘It’s not a tank, it’s breaking through everything.’
Perhaps because of that, some players protested that it was a foul play. I just dismissed it as a legitimate fight.
Beep!
“It’s against the rules. What’s your name?”
“······This is Max.”
“If you receive another warning in the future, you will be sent off, so know that.”
Still, there’s nothing wrong with cheating. I wrote down the name of the offending player in my notebook.
Today was my first match, so I treated him more strictly. Whatever it is, shouldn’t the first button be sewn well?
After that, it was a repetition of blocking, hitting, blocking, hitting, and inserting each other. The audience couldn’t relax because they didn’t know when and where the goal would be scored.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
When the extra time was over, the horn was blown short and strong. A sound resembling a whistle echoed throughout the arena.
The result was a 3-2 victory for the Natives and a tie except for the last offside.
“Egogo…”
“It’s harder than I thought…”
“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”
After the game, the players sat or lay down on the floor as if their stamina had been strained.
They say they are strong men, but since they ran without thinking, they must have exhausted themselves.
I left a word of good work to them and looked around the bleachers. The audience clapped and cheered each other in the slugfest.
Cheers to the winning Aboriginal team for their hard work. Consolation to the defeated migrant team that they should do better next time.
Different reactions, but one thing in common. Both groups are looking forward to the next game.
‘It’s quite successful.’
Football, which started from our territory, will become a sport that everyone can enjoy. like the earth
It will take a long time to run commercially, but it doesn’t matter. As I said before, if you sew the first button well, it’s over.
I quietly got out, hoping that I had enjoyed it with a happy heart.
In the future, soccer will be enjoyed among young people. I just step in the middle and coordinate and that’s it.
‘I can fight using the soccer field, so I should decide the order too, right?’
If there’s one thing I’ve overlooked.
“······What’s this?”
“That’s what the lords suggested to you. They asked if it was okay to increase the team.”
“I don’t mind increasing it, but why do you have to do this to me…”
Medieval people were ‘sincere’ in entertainment. It’s been a day since I showed off soccer, but I’ve already been flooded with requests to open a team.
To be honest, there is no problem with the team opening itself. It was over if they just enjoyed themselves like the early soccer club.
My father looked at my expression mixed with doubt and bewilderment and said quietly.
“You’re probably asking them to set the order. It’s better for you to coordinate than to fight among themselves.”
“If it’s something like that, you should be willing to do it. Hmm…”
I got the team list from my father. It seemed that not only the villagers but also young people came in, probably because soccer was quite impressive.
It seems that the number of teams has increased as it is not only enjoyed by a certain class, but can be enjoyed by both men and women of all ages.
Instead, just like in the previous life, only men are herded. Maybe women can’t help but do housework.
‘But did you allow everything? that’s interesting.
Without thinking, I stamped and allowed the team to be established. The order was also coordinated by myself.
A few more days passed after that…
“Isaac. The wives of the estate gave you a present.”
Received a gift from my mother. He received various gifts from the women of the estate, to be precise, the wives.
Normally, my mother is close to Yeongji’s wives, so I often receive gifts like this, but today they were gifts for me.
I’m bewildered because I don’t understand why.
“Suddenly? Why?”
“I heard that my husbands are building up their stamina to play soccer? Maybe thanks to that, they thanked me saying that they were really satisfied. I didn’t do anything.”
“······”
Somehow, it seemed that each gift was good for stamina. Unintentionally, it seems that Yeongji’s happiness has been multiplied several times.
‘Should I make a league at this point?’
Even while I was thinking this, the popularity of soccer was spreading.
[A new ball game soccer that appeared in Myshal Manor. You can never use your hands or arms, you can only score goals with your feet or head…]
[Ball games banned by the church. However, soccer is possible because it does not fit all the cause of the church!]
[Thousands of people flock to watch soccer… Tourists in the Myshal estate are gradually increasing.]
Myshal estate is gradually reviving.
[The Manhattan Project, which began to be mentioned in the United States. What does this project mean?]
God’s punishment gradually began to be revealed.
