209 – I don’t know how to cheat with muscle in a love comedy
I felt a strange sense of déjà vu while playing soccer.
It feels like when you play football in the military, when the company commander catches the ball, the enemy team’s defenders split like the Red Sea.
“Oops! Dodge!”
When you meet a foreign sports car on the road, it feels like regular domestic cars naturally get out of the way left and right.
“Save me!”
When a giant monster appears in the city, it feels like the cops are desperately waiting for the Earth Defense Force to show up.
Uh, is this a different example?
“It’s coming! Stop it with your life!”
“Cowardly class 2-B guys! Bringing Yuseong Kim, an asymmetric strategic weapon!”
Anyway, I ran all over the wide field.
For me, who only competes with physical skills, not skills, being a striker, winger, or midfielder didn’t mean much to me.
In that sense, Shimamura, our team’s captain, must have had a good eye.
“Get out of the way!”
I’m in front of the goalpost, so I give a warning before shooting.
I know that the ball explodes if I kick it with all my might, so I will adjust my strength, but I couldn’t guarantee what would happen if a person was hit by it.
And maybe this warning worked, the defenders who stood in my way flinched and evaded to the side.
Only then did I feel relieved and kicked the ball.
Boom!!
“You hear a cannon sound from your feet?!”
“How to stop that!”
A soccer ball with terrifying rotation draws a curve and flies to the opponent’s goal.
Seeing that, the captain of Class 2-D used a bullsh*t to block it, but the goalkeeper was frozen in front of the goalpost and couldn’t move a single step.
Soon, a soccer ball shook the net.
Beep!
After confirming the results, the PE teacher blew a whistle and raised the flag.
“1:0!”
He was in perfect condition.
***
In the end, the match against Class 2-D ended with a landslide victory of 7:1.
To be honest, I didn’t play the role of a striker in the second half because I thought it was a little too much, but the pressure I felt just by standing on the field was no joke.
“Thank you! Thanks to you, I ate the preliminaries for free! I’ll take good care of the semi-finals and finals as well!”
I smiled and accepted Shimamura’s hug with a moved expression, then asked Ayase, who is managing all the schedules for this tournament.
“Then where do you want to go next?”
“Among the matches in the morning, I guess this is the event in which you can participate as a mercenary.”
As Ayase said that, what he showed was a rectangular field with six circles drawn on it.
I asked, turning my shoulders leisurely.
“Dodgeball?”
Then, Ayase shook his head and said.
“No, volleyball.”
***
That’s how the next job was decided.
The second sport ‘Volleyball’
In fact, volleyball is a sport where teamwork is more important than individual skills.
Of course, it’s not without star players, but like soccer or basketball, you can’t do everything alone, so it was important to get along with other team members.
“Please take good care of me today.”
“Yes.”
Kanna Nagasawa, the tallest female volleyball member in the class, excluding me.
I don’t usually have a lot of opportunities to talk, so this was the first time we talked face-to-face like this.
“Yooseong-gun is tall and has long arms, so he acts as a middle blocker.”
“A middle blocker?”
“Yes. The role is mainly to stand in the middle and block the opponent’s attack.”
It was just a role for me.
Before entering the game, I heard an explanation of volleyball rules and attack methods, and I was immediately put into action before I could memorize them.
From noble mtl dot com
The opponent for the preliminaries is Class 2-E.
Unlike soccer, volleyball didn’t look very strong to be honest, maybe because it’s a mixed team.
A preliminary match that starts with a court in the auditorium.
Beep!
“The match begins!”
The first attack was Class 2-E.
A volleyball that floats into the air with the setter’s serve.
‘… Is it slow?’
A normal person would feel that this was fast, but unfortunately compared to the movements of the people I’ve fought so far, I couldn’t even compare it.
You don’t have to run in a hurry, you can block just by extending your hand.
The opposing team’s heater, with a bewildered expression, hurriedly received the ball, but the ball went over the net again in his arm, which I swung in vain.
All of these things happened within 5 seconds of the start of the match.
My team behind me looked at me as if it was absurd, but to be honest, I didn’t do anything great, so I rubbed the back of my head shyly.
***
Yooseong Kim.
This was the first time I had talked to him.
Actually, she knew about Yuseong Kim since her freshman year.
That’s also true, because vicious rumors surrounding him that he is an elite yakuzani and heir to the power of assassination spread throughout the school.
But from her point of view, as she spent more time exercising in her room than studying in her classroom, it wasn’t a problem that touched her skin very much.
Because we were in different classes in the first place, we had no chance to meet.
But that’s what happened when she went up to the second year, and became exactly the same class.
‘It was scary at first.’
Kanna Nagasawa is 186cm tall.
He is much taller than most male high school students.
So when she was in elementary school, her nickname was Hakdari.
When boys his age bully girls, he always takes the lead and saves the girls, a typical princely position.
It was the same even when I went to middle school and high school, and because of my superior physical condition, I was immediately scouted by the volleyball team.
To be honest, I had never been afraid of men before I met him.
But that was-
‘Kim Yu-seong was the first man taller than me.’
Things have changed.
For her, who has always been in a position to look down on someone, it was a fresh experience for her to look up at someone.
And contrary to the ugly rumors, the appearance he showed in class was an honor student itself.
A sage who respects his teacher and tries to help as much as possible when someone asks for help.
Of course, some of the students were frightened by his actions and expanded their interpretation, but when she watched from a distance, it was just a misunderstanding caused by her appearance.
Anyway, this is a rare opportunity.
Contrary to their terrifying appearance, I was shy and couldn’t always talk to them, but now that we’re a team, we were able to mix up the conversation naturally.
As Nagasawa looked at Yuseong Kim’s sturdy shoulders standing in front of her coat, she unconsciously felt her heart feel at ease.
‘Did you describe this as trustworthy?’
For some reason, I didn’t think I would lose any match if I was with him.
Kyun & Kyun &
Heart beats with exhilaration.
Nagasawa involuntarily exclaimed with an ikemen smile.
“Kim Yoo-seong! The next strategy is a quick attack!”
***
Beep!
“The match is over! Class 2-B wins!”
As soon as the volleyball hits the opposing team’s court, a sharp whistle reverberates through the auditorium.
“Win!”
Team members hug each other, soaked in the joy of victory.
I was standing at the back and watching them happily, but I turned my head at the presence I felt from the side.
It was Nagasawa, the main player of our team.
“Yoosung Kim, good job.”
“Oh, thank you.”
After wiping my sweat with the towel she handed me, I asked her for her honest evaluation of this match.
“Great.”
“Isn’t it too gilded?”
“No, I’ve never seen a better blocker than you in my real life. Your talent is a waste.”
If you are interested in volleyball, tell me anytime. I will teach you.
Nagasawa said that and patted me on the shoulder before she walked over to her own fan club members who were watching from the stands.
I looked back and recalled the game with a wry smile.
‘It was so easy.’
There was a difference between our team having a volleyball team and the enemy team not having a volleyball team, but the overall feeling was strong.
Well, it’s not a real tournament, it’s an unavoidable problem since it’s a fair selection of people from the class.
Anyway, with this, I won a landslide victory in soccer and even volleyball.
There are still about three more events left, but it wasn’t strange that other classes gradually came in to keep them in check.
To be honest, when I get involved in a game, it’s like an adult interfering with a kid’s fight.
And as expected, I went to play baseball, the third event, but I was banned from participating in the entire ball game, saying that there was a protest from another class due to fairness issues.
“This is a big deal.”
“Kuh, miscalculation.”
Ayase bites his nails as if he is regretful that his perfect plan to use me as an all-round mercenary to eat raw points has gone awry.
“Still, the teachers are considerate, so I can go on relay races and equestrian races. I’ll have to be content with that.”
I won’t be able to participate in the next matches of soccer and volleyball, but the results of the preliminary rounds still remain.
Unlike other teams that would have consumed a lot of stamina in consecutive matches, our team had a lot of fun and ate, so that alone was a big advantage.
When I appealed and explained that point, Ayase finally let out a deep sigh and showed understanding.
“Well, we can’t help what has already happened. Instead, it’s okay to expect performances in the remaining events, right?”
“Of course.”
When I said that and grinned, Ayase scratched his head with a ballpoint pen and said bluntly.
“Don’t laugh. I love you.”
