Episode 38. Exchange (1)
The official name of the event hosted by the WHA is ‘2051 World Hero Cultural Exchange’.
In fact, it is an event created by powerful people from all over the world to freely agree and decide on major issues without looking at other organizations.
However, whatever the intention, it is also true that it is one of the few events that Hero Academy students can enjoy during their school days.
To the belt, to the belt!
“600. please. Let’s get over 600 points!”
The Power Sandbag, located in the main hall of the event venue, is open to all Hero Academy students. The rules are also simple, so there is no end to the challenge every year.
The reason for their enthusiasm may be the prize money they receive when they exceed 600 points and the weekend night out tickets they receive when they exceed 700 points.
[1st place: 998 points – Twin Buster / 2030]
The biggest reason is to change the name, which has been maintaining the top spot for 21 years, to his own by adding 999 points, which was officially announced as the maximum score.
honor.
Wouldn’t it be romantic enough to make the hearts of those who work hard?
Of course, there are many who risk their lives for prize money or the right to stay overnight.
[557 points – Rank registration failed]
“ah!”
A man with a boyish face and a shaggy body comes down the stairs in frustration.
Then, when the student with bare hair scored 617 points and received the prize, he received applause.
In fact, it is not easy for a first-year student in Ganghwa to achieve that low score.
In the next order, an Indian girl scores 701 points with a flashy round kick and bursts into shouts while holding a night out ticket.
A tall woman standing in front of a punching bag with envious students behind her. When he grows to a height of 3.5m through gigantism, his intestines are disturbed.
“That trait… . isn’t he Giant fist, Yevsovic.”
“The freckles in those pigtails. Are you sure.”
“Among the Ganghwa girls this year, she was said to be the strongest.”
bang!
It was a punching bag that could accept any blow in under a minute, so Margaret stacked up to the maximum and delivered the final blow in 59 seconds.
The students in the hall were flustered at the speed of the rise in numbers that was steeper than anyone who had ever been on the stage.
ding!
[997 points – 2nd place Margaret Yevsovic / 2051]
“Sheesh.”
As Margaret shakes her hands and turns around, she is greeted by Alexandra, a classmate and hometown comrade under the ring.
“This year and even last year, you are the first to score 997!”
Even though the disappointment disappeared from her comfort, the resentment welled up again when I saw the back of the dwarf girl who is now climbing up the ring.
‘I’ll build one more stack.’
I knew it because it was Margaret, who had always dealt with that girl. today. A new record will be engraved there.
“What are you doing. There’s no way to hit it in the ring. Don’t act like a good listener and come down.”
In particular, if Professor Nam is also next to him, that fact will be further consolidated.
“I see.”
‘I told you to go out in training clothes for nothing.’
yesternight.
I told Grace, who didn’t know what to do when she said she was dating Nam Man-hyuk, that matching her with someone is the way to get the most favor.
Whether that worked or not, I left the room first today and came in with Nam Man-hyuk.
“turn. until just before the speed of sound. Do you feel that way now?”
Grace, who nodded at Professor Nam’s words, flew up and circulated over the main hall, just before she became a single pink line.
Kugong!
After the impact as if the floor was collapsing, a roar echoed through the hall. The sandbag, which had not moved no matter who hit it, swayed loudly.
The score on the holoboard blinks 0 three times.
[1st place: 999 points – Grace Melon / 2051]
Wow-
He seemed embarrassed by the cheers of the students. Grace Melon hides behind Nam Man-hyuk while fiddling with his glasses.
From the gift stand next door, outing tickets, prizes, and rare materials that have been accumulated for 21 years, which are only given to the first place, popped out.
“Margaret. that. Isn’t that a pterosaur’s tail? It is sold at a very high price at the auction.”
“You will be right.”
Items donated by seniors or anonymous donors for juniors are blinded and randomly distributed as prizes for each event.
Occasionally, there are rumors that a precious material has come in, because most of it was requested by donors who like to be sarcastic.
“Grace doesn’t have to worry about costumes.”
Alexandra, who looked sadly at Margaret again, shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
“Junior, we have an exchange war.”
exchange before.
An event in which students attending the Hero Academy compete against each other and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents on the spot.
The reason why this exchange has continued to this day, despite the fact that it is said to be abolished every year.
physical and psychological shock at the same time. It is also a great stimulus to receive from peers from other cultures.
It can also be a positive turning point for lazy students.
Later, Nam Man-hyuk commented on the exchange war as follows:
‘An event that perfectly reproduces the adage that you will mature if you are right.’
-Notified by the WHA event management team. The first round of the exchange will start soon, so please come to the underground arena for participating students and those who want to watch. I’ll let you know again—
In fact, the students here were elected as representatives of the academy, so no one did not participate.
The stadium provided in the basement of the event hall was shaped like an opera house.
The host, standing in the center of the stage, clears his throat and explains how the game is played into the pen mic. It was no different from the usual tournament.
“However, in the preliminary round, you cannot compete against the same academy students. In the finals, if possible, we will compete with other academies. Everyone knows the purpose of this exchange, so I believe you will understand. Note that this year, we did not divide by grade level.”
Boo-
Last year, it was held by grade level. The awakening of adolescence was a natural measure because the growth rate is considerable each year, but this year, it is completely ignored and random.
The purpose is anyway, the higher the ranking, the better the prizes, so the joys and sorrows of the 3rd and 1st graders were mixed.
Even though they were in the first year of school, there were some who still had laughs.
“Okay. I can show you the power of the British Empire.”
First year Principal at the Royal Academy of Heroes in England. William Bradley.
“Nam Man-hyuk… , huh.”
New York Hero Academy Principal, Dewitz Strouder.
and.
“Isn’t there a good kid?”
The villain of Seoul Hero Academy, Nam Man-hyuk.
It didn’t take long for these three to clash.
* * *
“Pyrostar uses Starfire one after another on Soul Bomb!”
A hero name that is hot with loud technology. A feast of 17-year-old boy and girl-like naming.
“Professor Nam, aren’t you nervous?”
Margaret, sitting on the left, presses her trembling legs and asks.
Her opponent is Alexei Vladimirovich Putena, sent from Moscow.
A boy with only the country name of Russia written on it.
Although he is an aspiring hero, it is Russia’s intention not to disclose detailed information to other countries.
Margaret said she and Alexei were competing for the Russian choice. As you can see, Margaret lost.
Margaret who grew up with my training method. Alexei was raised as the essence of Russia.
The one who is most curious about the confrontation between the two is probably me, not the company or Russia.
“It’s me, if it’s yeocha, it’s enough to dive. if you follow You can throw coconuts. Quinn goes out too, what are they?”
“Cook.”
I’m laughing now
“Go.”
Prove that I’m not wrong Margaret.
The host calls their names, and in a similar way, they warm up and go up on stage.
Guard, staff, fake. When they confirm that the basics are the same, Alexei lengthens the corners of his mouth.
The two had a conversation, and as soon as the signal sounded, they rushed towards each other.
The fists collided and the center of the circular stage was severely dented.
“Cheer up, Margaret!”
Quinn, sitting on the right, shouts loudly as she sees Margaret being pushed back.
And from the low kick to the left hook. As if in front of a mirror, the combo between the two men was exactly the same, and Margaret fell over and ended up giving Alexei the victory.
But Alexei is waiting for Margaret to wake up. I was sure of that look.
‘You lost.’
I don’t know if it’s chivalry or sportsmanship, but it’s clear that the desire for victory was not desperate.
He should have gone pounding right away.
Belatedly, he noticed something and ran to Margaret.
It was quite late.
Margaret started accumulating from the first clash.
What I asked of her during training was secrecy.
If you say, ‘I’m gathering my strength!’, who will welcome it? So, right before reaching the highest stage, we concentrated on hiding all externally expressed phenomena by mobilizing various means.
The result of the study was that he wore long clothes and ridiculously large gloves even in summer.
The more proficiency he accumulated, the more he was able to attract the brilliance to the inside of his body.
“Aww!”
Aleksei’s regime, which went out with vigor, was blocked by Margaret’s knee, and then ripped his glove and allowed a fist wrapped in white light to burst out and knocked down as it was.
The referee, who read that there was no irregularity on the slow playback screen for a moment in an instant, raised Margaret’s hand and confirmed the victory.
“What happened?”
At Queen’s question, the attention of the students sitting around me is focused on me.
“Everyone knows that Alexei gave Margaret time to use her talents in the beginning. How are you asking how soon you got back up?”
“yes.”
“I purposely lost my strength in the last link and fell. to get the pounding in. The instantaneous upper body strength can be reversed unconditionally because Margaret is better. What if you don’t come in? It’s about recovering your stamina, which is a relatively weak point.”
While Queen was admiring, the student in the back seat asked carefully.
“Once a pound is hit, it is very difficult to solve, have you considered that part?”
“Oh, it doesn’t matter if I can’t solve it. He’s confident in his stamina, and even if Margaret is right, he builds up a stack.”
“Wow… , good tactics.”
It was a simple number that had no tactics, but Margaret’s physical strength and Alexei’s negligence, which had grown rapidly in recent years, maximized it.
“Then you are my gym customer, so will you just let me go?”
After waking up, Alexei and Margaret, who had discussed each other’s strengths and weaknesses, came back to the seat next to me.
“Well done.”
“thank you.”
Margaret thanking me with a reminded face. what else so far
“OK. What about Alexei?”
“It’s as beautiful as it used to be.”
“… don’t be like that Do you have anything to say about the game?”
“ah! Well, it was good to hide the trait, and the foot skill is still lacking, right?”
I saw it correctly. I might be a little taller, so I’m only getting a moderate amount of exercise for my lower body.
Techniques that put strain on the joints will be taught later, and Professor Kau agreed with me.
“Next is Seoul Hero Academy freshman, Grace Mellon and British Royal Hero Academy freshman William Bradley!”
Whoops.
Quinn takes a long breath and catches her breath, giving Margaret a high-five and looking at me.
“Do I have any advice?”
I answered with a stern expression on my face.
“I think I’m going to be dealing with Dooshik’s call.”
beckon.
They clashed their fists so that the gloves are distorted, and Bibin Queen smiles coldly and goes down to the stage.
… What’s up with Brad, is he okay?
