S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 211



Only Noblemtl

211. Munchkins’ Sports Day

Who will compete in the first round?

While they were pondering, the first stadium setup began.

The Awakeners hired by the organizers came out onto the playground.

As they reached out, a puddle of water formed in the center of the field. It gradually grew larger and took the shape of a giant fishbowl.

A giant fish tank measuring over 100 meters in length and width. After seeing it, the host went up on stage and grabbed the microphone.

[The first game will start shortly. The first game is Dominoes in a Fishbowl!]

“Dominoes in a fishbowl? What is that?”

Cheon Do-woon looked puzzled at the host’s words. The other members of the group also tilted their heads at the subject they were hearing for the first time.

Lee Baek-ho said about it.

“It’s a game where you stand up palm-sized dominoes underwater. The instructions are written on the back of the pamphlet I gave you earlier.”

The longer the dominoes were, the higher the score.

“Each team must have three players.”

“Three people?”

“Yes. Each person will have a different role. Someone to carry the dominoes to the fish tank, someone to set up the dominoes underwater, and someone to protect the dominoes from the opposing team’s sabotage.”

It was up to the team to decide how to deploy the three people.

“We need to breathe, so let’s take turns doing it. That’ll be pretty fun, right?”

It was a game that seemed simple at first glance. However, the giant fish tank installed on the playground seemed to be three meters deep.

In addition, all participants are Awakened. They can also use their abilities to sabotage.

Just looking at that, it was obvious that it was going to be a pretty rough game.

[If you can’t see because the seats are far away, just look up!]

The host pointed to the top of the fish tank.

As the user of the Welcome ability used his power, a huge screen appeared in the air. It was an enlarged screen that allowed the game situation to be viewed from afar.

“Wow!”

“awesome!”

“That’s why I can’t not come every year.”

The people sitting in the audience applauded and cheered.

Cheon Do-woon also became an interesting face in the stage setting utilizing the Awakened Ones.

[Then, please select the participants by team.]

At the host’s words, three people from each team went out onto the field.

Cheon Do-woon’s team also had to pick someone to leave.

“Does anyone want to go out?”

When Cheon Do-woon asked, number 49 raised his hand.

He had never played with people since he became a chimera. That’s why he was looking forward to the sports day.

Especially since it was a game played in water, he couldn’t miss out.

“We want to go out too. It looks fun.”

The siblings also raised their hands.

“I want to go out too.”

Kim Na-ri also raised her hand.

Seok Woo-hyuk and Nam Ki-seok also raised their hands, saying that it looked fun.

“Oh. Everyone wants to go out.”

Cheon Do-woon had already raised his hand.

“Then shall we decide with rock-paper-scissors?”

Yoo Beom suggested that if we had to reduce the number, that would be the fastest way.

“Wait a minute! That’s too advantageous for the siblings with good dynamic vision!”

Number 49 noticed Yoo Beom’s thoughts and stopped him.

The siblings’ eyesight would capture every subtle movement of the finger muscles.

Through that, I was sure to figure out what the opponent was going to do.

“Tch.”

Yoo Beom, who had been caught in the plan, clicked his tongue. Yoo Ji Ah, who was trying to pretend not to know, coughed softly and looked at the distant mountains.

“How about drawing lots?”

The one who gave his opinion was Lee Baek-ho, who played the role of manager. He took a small box out of his suitcase.

“I thought something like this might happen, so I prepared a lottery box. I’ll put ping-pong balls in it according to the number of people. White is out. Yellow is a winner.”

Baekho Lee put ping pong balls in the box according to the number of people.

The group gathered around the box with serious faces. Their expressions were as serious as soldiers preparing for war.

The AA team, who saw it from afar, snickered.

“Captain, look at that. They’re choosing players over there, and it looks like they’re playing rock-scissors or drawing lots.”

“I thought the chimeras were a dark horse because they were so huge. Were they just people who came to have fun?”

“Then what are those chimeras?”

“Well. Did you just borrow it from somewhere for performance purposes?”

Whatever it is, it’s not a team that they can keep an eye on. Team AA thought with a smirk.

“But let’s just step on it for now. We’ll have to pay the price for stealing the attention we deserve.”

The team members nodded at the leader’s words.

They thought they would steal the spotlight as last year’s champions.

Didn’t they intentionally make their team uniforms stand out by wearing bee costumes?

But the match started without much attention due to the appearance of the Coconut Family. I didn’t like that.

‘They’ll trample you thoroughly in the first round.’

The lottery drawing was over while they were laughing sinisterly.

“Oh no. We’re falling apart.”

The siblings picked a white ball. Seok Woo-hyuk and Nam Ki-seok did the same.

The ones who picked the yellow ball were Cheon Do-woon and Kim Na-ri, number 49.

As we went out to the playground, each team stood in a circle near the fish tank.

The Coconut Family also stood in front of the place where their team name was written.

There was a pile of green dominoes there, the same color as the name tags they had received.

[Those dominoes have gravity weighting capabilities. They may look like plastic, but each one weighs 70 kilos. It won’t be easy to move them. And most importantly… Please start setting the stage!]

Following the host’s words, three awakened people emerged.

As they activated their powers, a giant circle appeared across the field. Gravity was applied to it.

“Ugh, my body feels heavy!”

The participating teams were surprised by the sudden change.

The host looked them over and said.

[The gravity has been tripled throughout the stadium. You can now carry the dominoes. Please note that you cannot use your abilities when carrying dominoes. If you do, you will be disqualified.]

The contestants were taken aback by the host’s words.

The pamphlet they received didn’t even say anything like that.

“In this situation, you want me to carry a 70 kilogram weight with just my strength?”

“It’s literally a sports day. The first half will be a battle of stamina.”

The distance between the domino stack and the fish tank is about 50 meters. You have to jump back and forth several times over this distance.

Even for those who were awakened, it wasn’t easy when they were in a disadvantaged situation.

Of course, it’s only fun for those who watch the game.

“This is what it’s worth seeing!”

“Cheer up!”

“Cheer up, Dad!”

“The winning side is my side!”

The participants tried to smile and wave their hands to the cheers from the audience.

The Coconut Family also laughed in the exciting atmosphere. I really liked the atmosphere of the sports day that I participated in for the first time in my life.

“Sir, what are you going to do with the operation?”

One who carries the dominoes outside and one who goes into the water and sets them up.

That division of roles was necessary.

Cheon Do-woon thought for a moment and then said.

“You guys go into the water. Come to think of it, I shouldn’t show my face.”

To enter the water, you had to take off your paper mask.

With that in mind, the division of roles was decided naturally.

“I didn’t even take off my fanny pack.”

In Cheon Do-woon’s waist bag, Dodak and Sasa, wearing combined tracksuits, were sleeping.

As several factors overlapped, the number of people entering the water was naturally determined.

“I’ll throw the dominoes here. Catch them.”

“okay.”

“Take it.”

Number 49 paused at the words repeated twice.

He looked at Cheon Do-woon. When their eyes met, Cheon Do-woon smiled.

“The gravity and distance applied are somewhat ambiguous. I can’t figure out how much force I should use to throw it.”

“uh…?”

“Take it.”

Number 49 started to break out in a cold sweat after hearing the same thing three times.

‘Can I walk out?’

It seems like he’ll get hurt not by sabotage from other teams, but by getting hit by a domino thrown by Cheon Do-woon.

Number 49 started to regret participating in the game.

[Are you all ready? Then stand at the starting line!]

The host raised his gun towards the sky.

Number 49 and Kim Na-ri took off their paper masks, placed them on the floor, and prepared to run.

With a bang, the two ran towards the fish tank.

When I hit the fishbowl made of water, I was sucked into the water and submerged.

The audience who saw it exclaimed in disappointment.

“Did you see? That team had two people in the water from the beginning.”

“Oh, my. They planned the operation wrong.”

At first, even if you go into the water, there are no domino pieces to stand on.

Even if you go in early and reserve a seat, there’s nothing you can do.

“At first, the three of us will have to carry the dominoes to the fish tank.”

“That’s right. That team was too impatient.”

The audience looked sad at the Coconut Family team’s mistake.

On the other hand, the competing teams’ mouths went up.

‘Even if you came here to have fun, it’s like that. How stupid of you to plan a strategy like that.’

The leader of the AA team snickered at Cheon Do-woon’s wrong strategy.

“Let’s get started. Everyone get ready.”

“Ready! Throw it any time!”

The AA team lined up at an appropriate distance from the fish tank.

The leader runs a certain distance and throws a domino. The person who receives it also runs to the next team member and throws the domino.

The last team member threw the domino into the fishbowl.

Meanwhile, the leader had already run over with a new domino and was throwing it again.

It’s like standing in a line and passing buckets when a fire breaks out.

Not a single second was wasted. People cheered at how well they were harmonizing.

“Look at that! The AA team has already moved 30!”

“As expected, they’re the team that won last year. Compared to them, the other teams… Huh? Wait. What’s that guy doing?”

One of the audience members pointed to Cheon Do-woon.

Cheon Do-woon was looking at a domino tile as if he was examining it.

They haven’t even moved a single domino yet, but they’re so laid-back compared to the other teams that it’s actually quite eye-catching.

“I have a rough idea of ​​the center of gravity. With enough force to touch the fishbowl… With enough force that the receiver won’t die.”

It’s always difficult to be moderately gentle.

Cheon Do-woon took a stance to throw. Number 49, who had entered the water, took a stance to catch.

“What are those guys? Are they going to throw that thing? In that street?”

“Haha, what a fun team.”

A thrown domino will not be able to travel far and will fall due to the combination of its weight and gravity.

Cheon Do-woon threw the dominoes as expected by the people.

Whack, woof. There was a sound of the wind cutting through. The grass on the ground split open as the dominoes flew away.

Bam. Domino went through the water in the shape of a fishbowl. Even though she went underwater, her speed did not decrease.

Rather than slowing down, it spun like a bullet, creating a whirlpool in the water.

‘If you take it with your bare body, you’ll die!’

Hey, you idiot. Are you really trying to kill me?

Number 49 wanted to shout that. But I couldn’t shout because I was underwater.

Number 49 was wrapped in mana all over his body. Whatever it was, I had to get it.

Timing is everything. He caught the dominoes with both hands.

He slowed down again, hugging Domino to his chest.

Even though it was already moving at a considerably slow speed underwater, number 49 was pushed back for a long time before stopping.

My arms were cold. My chest, where I had been holding Domino, also hurt. It felt like a miracle that my ribs weren’t broken.

While number 49 was relieved, the surroundings became quiet.

The AA team, who were carrying the baton in a bucket-passing operation, looked at them in turn with their mouths agape.

“What the heck? You threw that thing down the street? All at once?”

“Did you see that thing spinning in the water like a bullet? It created a whirlpool in the water.”

“Wow… That’s cool!”

“Wow!”

“Awesome! Who the hell ignored that plan! Come out and get your head in!”

Cheers erupted from the audience, starting with someone’s exclamation.

Cheon Do-woon also looked at number 49 with a satisfied face.

“Well received. I can throw it with a strongman now.”

I got the feeling. If we throw them one by one, it will take a long time, so let’s throw them together. Since Kim Na-ri is here, she should be able to catch them easily.

Cheon Do-woon picked up the dominoes again. This time, he placed the domino tiles between his fingers.

Lift a 70 kilo domino between your fingers at 3x gravity.

The AA team’s mouths dropped open at that.

‘What the heck? That crazy? Does that make sense?’

Even if you are an awakened person, is it possible to do that with just the strength of your fingers?

‘Hey, lifting it is possible, but throwing it that far is impossible.’

‘He’s going to fail. It’s obvious he’s doing this because he feels proud because people are cheering him on.’

The AA team thought so.

People in the audience also noticed this and shouted.

“Look at that! I guess they’re going to throw more than one this time!”

“awesome!”

“Throw it! Throw it!”

The people cheered. On the contrary, number 49 in the water turned pale.

-Hey, hey! Wait! That’s killing me. I just barely got that!

Number 49 was the flagship. It was a shout made underwater, so it could not reach Cheon Do-woon.

[Oh! What is that? The Coconut Family Team is up to something. Will they be able to reach the fish tank this time?]

The host, who saw Cheon Do-un, snapped his fingers.

Cheon Do-woon’s appearance was close-up on a large screen.

The sound effects artist waiting below pressed the switch at just the right time.

Knock knock knock knock knock.

The sound of drums, which created tension with sound effects, rang out. The audience, drawn by it, swallowed their saliva and watched Cheon Do-un.

“That host is really into weird stuff.”

Cheon Do-woon smirked and waved his right arm.

The dominoes caught between my fingers flew towards the fish tank.

He also blew away the domino he was holding in his left hand. It also flew in the correct orbit.

Ah, why did I say I would go to the game? Number 49 laughed as he watched the flying dominoes.

The life he had lived was flashing before his eyes like a film.
