I don’t know how the three minutes have passed since then.
No matter what I did, the audience applauded with impressed faces, so I just gave up and calmly made various poses.
As a result, the evaluation of the judges’ seats was a perfect score for the first time in the competition.
With the high evaluation of the audience, they advanced to the finals with the first place in the preliminary rounds.
To be honest, I don’t even know how this happened.
If there is one thing for sure though, it must be that people understand the beauty of muscles.
In the position of following in the footsteps of many pioneers, this one point was certainly proud.
There were a total of 10 people who made it to the finals, including me and Ryuji, the trainer I saw earlier named Kenichi Yoshida, and the woman who made black history by making big mistakes on stage.
Of course, I thought it would have fallen off, but surprisingly, it seems that the bubbly part was chosen because it was cute.
Anyway, perhaps because it took a lot of time in the preliminary round, the final round was conducted in a way that all the entrants went up on the stage and had a group interview.
During a brief break of about 10 minutes, we listened to brief explanations behind the scenes.
“In the finals, we just focus on simple talks, so you don’t have to worry too much. Like in the preliminary rounds, I don’t push myself to show up alone.”

Maybe it was because there were a lot of people who were quite burdened by the talent show in the preliminary round, and everyone looked relieved.
It would be better to do what the MC tells you rather than squeeze out ideas that don’t exist.
After a short break of 10 minutes, all the finalists went up to the stage.
“Come on! It’s finally started! The finals of the Onzoku Beach Swimsuit Contest! The strong men who have overcome fierce competition are now competing here!”
Wow!
Obviously, the number of people watching has increased a bit since the preliminary round is over.
Those who had left their seats because they were bored after watching the preliminary rounds seemed to have returned to watch the finals.
As the number of people watching increases, it feels even more tense.
After all, even if I die soon, I don’t seem to have the stage constitution.
“Unlike the preliminary round, we conduct in-depth interviews with the participants! The charm of that person that we didn’t know about in the preliminary round! I hope you enjoy it a little more! And below the stage, we are receiving real-time voting! Please vote for the event!”
In the preliminary round, the judges’ scores had a great influence, but in the final, everything seemed to depend purely on the audience’s reaction.
The MC conducted interviews with the finalists in turn from the front.
“Who are you here with?”
“I’m here with my college friends.”
“Oh! That’s great! Do you have a boyfriend?”
“yes!”
“Ah, then you are eliminated.”
“Yeah?!”
It was just a little joke like this.
Unlike the preliminaries, where participants had to show something, it all depended on the MC’s ability to talk, so everyone watched in a pleasant atmosphere.
After an interview with one person, I interviewed the next person right away, and the process was so natural that I never thought that this was suffocating.
After interviewing three or four people like that, it was the turn of a person named Kenichi Yoshida whom I had seen before.
Unlike me, who has sloppy muscles, it is the type of dense, compact muscles that people generally prefer.
In fact, even that much is not a body that can be built in a year or two.
Perhaps it is a body that has been created through continuous exercise for more than 5 years.
The combination of a handsome mask, not bad teeth, and agile muscles naturally drew a response from the female audience.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Ah~ I think I can already hear the voices of regret~”
With that said, the MC posed another question.
“Then who is the most conscious participant of the two?”
Then a man named Yoshida reached out and pointed at me precisely.
“Among these people, the one who can be called my rival is probably not the Korean over there.”
“A declaration of a rival that I hoped for!”
The atmosphere of the audience heated up in an instant.
The stage MC did not miss the opportunity and came up to me and asked.
“What do you think of that provocation?!”
I was perplexed, but then answered in a calm voice.
“Honestly, I think it’s an honor.”
“Oh oh oh! I’m humble ah ah ah!”
It is hard to keep up with the tension, honestly, because it gives meaning to each and every little word.
I smiled and said thank you.
After a while, the rest of the interview proceeded one after the other.
When I finished up to Ryuji, who was the number one right before me, and it was my turn to come up last, people’s attention was focused.
It was probably because he came up with the highest score from the judges in the preliminary round.
“Now, it’s Kim Yu-seong’s turn, the dark horse of this tournament! The first question to ask! Do you have a girlfriend?”
It was a question I expected to some extent, so I answered it without difficulty.
“Not yet.”
“You mean it’s going to happen soon?!”
“It may or may not be.”
I used out-of-body speech to a question that was difficult to answer no matter how much I thought about it.
Then the MC said he was afraid to ask more, and asked the next question.
“You received the highest score from the judges in the preliminary round and advanced to the final! Are there any participants who are conscious of the two?”
I realized that his question was to solidify the rivalry that was created earlier.
Here, I would normally call the name of the person who pointed out me as a rival, Yoshida, but after thinking for a while, I spoke up.
“I think the player next to me, Ryuji Sakamoto, is the most intimidating.”
Then the MC asked with a bewildered expression.
“Ah! Of course I was thinking of Yoshida-san! Why did you suddenly choose Sakamoto-kun!”
“Yeah, because we’re classmates.”
“Ah! What a classmate said! This is Yoshida-san’s face!”
I don’t know if he actually thinks that way, but this MC is secretly active in fighting.
In fact, that’s the beauty of this event, though.
While the audience watched with interest, the stage MC dared to bring a microphone and ask a man named Yoshida.
“Yoshida-san’s direct rival, Kim Yoo-sung, is of the same opinion, what do you think about it?”
“It’s a little sad that I don’t seem to care.”
“Yes! It’s sad! What should I do with Yoshida-san’s loss of place to go?”
Now I don’t know what that MC is trying to say.
Anyway, all the interviews were finished with me too, and the real-time audience seat voting seemed to have been roughly finished.
Now, just before the final result announcement, one of the stage staff came up and whispered to the MC.
Then the MC, who was nodding his head, made eye contact with me and spoke into the microphone with a mischievous smile.
“They say they’re counting the voting results! Then, let’s play a mini-game with the finalists during the rest of the time!”

Mini game?
The finalists begin to murmur in an unexpected and unexpected situation.
However, the MC casually announced the mini-game event.
“The game event is an arm wrestling contest! The winner will receive a local gift certificate worth 10,000 yen with MC privileges!”
Arm wrestling suddenly at this time, does this mean you are going to openly fight?
On the other hand, there were participants who had already declared their abandonment to the game that was never fair.
“Of course, since the event is arm wrestling, we plan to divide it into women and men! The numbers are just right!”
As he said, out of the people who made it to the finals, there were 6 women and 4 men.
Unlike the men starting from the semifinals, the women’s side will fight fiercely.
But, on the male side, three out of four are muscular men, so it was fair enough.
Eventually, an improvised table came up on the stage, and as everyone cheered for the contestants I was cheering for, I relaxed my wrists.
Luckily, my first opponent was an ordinary normal person, so it didn’t look like he needed any effort.
“I wish you well.”
“Come on, please.”
The person I was arm wrestling with wasn’t too short, but standing in front of me has the effect of looking relatively small.
“You look older than me, so please feel free to talk.”
“Oh okay.”
… How does this not work?
I just decided to take it easy.
“Ready, start!”
bang!
The first round ends right as soon as it starts.
To be honest, no one was surprised, perhaps because the results were expected before they even started.
On the other hand, it wasn’t me that surprised me, but Ryuji and Yoshida-san’s arm wrestling.
When most people predict the victory of the muscular man Yoshida, Ryuji proudly defeated the man named Yoshida with only his own strength.
To be honest, the body itself was superior, but seeing that he was so fat, I had no choice but to make a reasonable guess that Yoshida’s muscles were water muscles.
Ryuji, who won the victory as easily as me, made eye contact with me and drew a V with her finger, proud of it.
Well, it looks like the arm wrestling final will eventually become a civil war at Ichijo Academy.
