S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 212



Only Noblemtl

212. A team whose very existence is a foul

I’ll go first. Bye, everyone.

Number 49 closed his coffin in his mind. Kim Na-ri came in front of him.

-Uncle. You can’t give up. The Coconut Family doesn’t give up!

Because it was underwater, the sound wasn’t transmitted properly.

But having lived in the sea for decades, he understood what Kim Na-ri said.

-I will protect my uncle!

Kim Na-ri moved at high speed, kicking her feet.

Repeated diving to obtain yellow ore once paid off.

“Look at that! The baby team members are no slouch either! They’re taking it all!”

“That kid is amazing. It looks like he has motors on his feet!”

Kim Na-ri’s legs were flapping so fast that it looked like a motor.

In fact, some of the organs inside the body had turned into motors and were operating.

-Woohyooot!

Kim Na-ri swam at lightning speed with a shout.

The speed was so fast that it created a strong current inside the fish tank.

The moment the domino entered the water, its speed was lost and its trajectory was changed by the current.

The speed has also been reduced further.

-uncle!

-Yeah, yeah!

Number 49 started catching Domino before she could fly out of the tank.

[Coconut Family Team, fast! Lightning-quick! Amazing even underwater! One side moves like a motor! The other side moves like a fish! The contrasting movements complement each other!]

Motor and fish.

The host didn’t know he was telling the truth.

“Good. As expected, it’s well received.”

Cheon Do-woon smiled with satisfaction. At this rate, I can increase the speed even more.

He lightly kicked the dominoes piled on the floor with his foot.

The dominoes that bounced up got stuck between his fingers.

By the time I felt that way, the dominoes had already been thrown into the fishbowl.

As the spectacular sight was broadcast on the big screen, cheers erupted again.

[This is really amazing! How on earth can he throw that heavy piece of paper like that? It’s as if gravity is not exerting itself on the author alone!]

Applause poured in along with the excited voice of the host.

Of course, number 49 and Kim Na-ri had to be nervous when they saw that.

-Kim Na-ri, you have to be careful!

-Okay. I’m nervous! Booster ON!

Kim Na-ri stomped her feet to match Cheon Do-woon’s speed. She circled the fish tank, swinging her arms in circles.

[Hey, that one’s amazing too! A whirlwind! A whirlwind! The dominoes that were thrown spin around and around in the whirlwind…! The man is catching the dominoes one by one as their speed slows down…! Oops, one of the pieces bounced up!]

Number 49 failed to withstand the force of the thrown domino and missed. One of them flew up into the fish tank.

‘Damn, I can’t miss this!’

Kim Na-ri is using all her might with her small body to slow down.

If you miss that, you are disqualified as an uncle. You are not worthy of remaining in the Coconut Family.

The 49th accident circuit was moving away from normal without any awareness.

He moved his feet quickly. His muscular legs, trained on the resort island, pushed against the current.

Bam. Number 49 jumped up to the surface. He spun around like a dolphin and snatched the domino out of the air.

He spun his body around and dove headfirst into the water.

The water splashed and the audience became silent for a moment. Then, the silence was broken by cheers.

“Wow!”

People were excited by the tricks they saw before their eyes.

[This is a show! We just saw a human dolphin trick!]

The host clenched his fist and shouted. The sound effects person belatedly played a thud sound effect.

The only ones with subtle expressions were the siblings watching from the tent.

“I mean, that domino just now. It bounced straight up, right? If you leave it alone, it’ll just fall into the fishbowl anyway, right?”

“That’s right. You must be suffering.”

“Is that the showmanship I’ve only heard about?”

Number 49 became the showman uncle within the Coconut Family.

Whatever it was, other teams were also enthusiastic about the atmosphere.

“Let’s go too! Jump into the water!”

“I’ll take the remaining dominoes all by myself! You guys get in the fishbowl too!”

“Woooooo!”

The contestants ran towards the fish tank. The audience members waving their cheering sticks also got excited.

On the other hand, Cheon Do-woon stopped throwing dominoes.

‘I think I threw about 50. I guess I’ll have to throw the rest depending on the situation.’

The longer the dominoes standing on the floor become, the harder it will be for Kim Na-ri to defend them alone.

External assistance will be needed.

‘It would be better to leave the bullets behind.’

Cheon Do-woon laughed as he looked at the dominoes piled up on the floor.

I was thinking of throwing this to stop anyone from knocking over the dominoes.

A 70 kilo bullet was left in his possession.

‘What, what is it? Why am I suddenly feeling chills?’

People who jumped into the fish tank shivered with inexplicable chills.

* * *

Ten minutes after all teams jumped into the fish tank.

People looked at the Coconut Family with amazed faces.

‘What the hell is going on with those guys? Why don’t they come out to breathe?’

The others came out of the water one by one and took turns breathing.

But that wasn’t the case for the Coconut Family.

‘I was going to attack you when you came out to breathe. Why aren’t you coming out?’

‘Your lung capacity is crazy. Is that possible?’

People who didn’t know the truth about the motor and the fish were horrified by their lung capacity.

‘This won’t work. This has to be a head-on confrontation!’

The sabotage units from each team moved in. They looked at each other and nodded.

“Oh, my. Looks like the Coconut Family will be the focus of the attack.”

Since we were running in first place, it was natural that we would be watched by all the teams.

A man blew air at dominoes standing on the floor.

The wind created a strong current that swept over the dominoes.

-Woohyooot!

Kim Na-ri blocked his path. She spun her arms around at lightning speed, creating a whirlpool.

As the water currents collided, the force that had been pushing the dominoes down was canceled out.

But it still looked precarious.

With attacks coming from all sides, it wasn’t enough for Kim Na-ri to defend Domino alone.

The leader of the AA team smiled in satisfaction when he saw that.

‘Haha, we were aiming for this. In games like this, you can’t be first from the start.’

If you are in first place from the beginning, you will be the target of concentrated attacks from other teams.

In this case, you have to hide behind the number one and then hit the back of the head of the allied forces at the end to win.

That was the strategy for this game.

“It’s over.”

While Kim Na-ri was blocking the frontal attack, another team attacked from the side.

Number 49 also jumped into defense, but the back was empty.

The AA team members didn’t miss that moment.

[This, this! The Coconut Family’s do or die situation! Is this how the camp will collapse!]

Drumroll. The sound engineer added drum sounds at just the right time to the host’s words.

The audience watched with sweaty palms in the heightened atmosphere.

-I will knock down all the dominoes you have built!

A water-shaped trident fell on Domino.

Wrong. It’s too late. It can’t be stopped.

Kim Na-ri and number 49 were in despair.

At that moment, a domino piece like a bullet passed by, creating a whirlwind. It pierced the trident and struck the man in the stomach.

-Ugh…!

The man hit by the dominoes sank with his eyes rolled back.

[Wow! The domino you passed to your teammate hit the opposing team! Coconut Family, you’re so lucky!]

The unconscious man was dragged outside by waiting rescue workers.

Meanwhile, a man from another team swam towards the domino set up by number 49.

I intended to knock it down by pushing it with my hand, but I was hit by a domino thrown from outside and was pushed back.

-Ugh, my ribs… .

I think I heard a thumping sound from my chest five times. Is it just my imagination?

The man thought with his eyes rolled back. The host cheered at his appearance.

[What a stroke of luck! Another failed pass saves another teammate from danger! The Coconut Family is truly a lucky… team… .]

The host’s voice became increasingly quieter.

Even as he was conducting society, dominoes continued to fall.

Splash, thud. Splash, thud. Splash, thud.

Dominoes fly. They fall. They sink. Rescue workers drag them out.

It was repeated like a chain reaction.

[Ha, people are being carried out one by one… Ah, another victim…!]

The surroundings became quiet as the chain of attacks continued.

This is not a failed pass. It was being aimed at.

‘If you get hit, you die.’

The participants turned pale and stepped back.

‘Wasn’t the person who was taken away earlier a Class A Awakened?’

‘No matter how careless I was… I was hit in one go.’

‘When I look closely, it looks like some kind of cannonball is flying.’

The participants swallowed dry saliva.

The host, who came to his senses late, clenched his fist.

[The leader of the Coconut Family! We are providing support from outside! One shot, one kill!]

“You’re crazy. You’re even aiming at that distance?”

“Crazy, control is awesome!”

“One kill! One kill! One kill!”

The host’s shout erupted in cheers.

Kim Na-ri and number 49, who took a deep breath, gave a thumbs up to Cheon Do-woon.

Cheon Do-woon also gave a thumbs up. The audience cheered again at that trustworthy sign.

‘Damn. This totally sets the mood.’

The leader of the AA team was not happy with the current situation.

Not only was he pushed out of the game, he also lost the audience’s attention.

He looked at the time displayed on the scoreboard.

‘There are now 3 minutes left. This game is wrong.’

The inside of his mouth was bitter. But the leader of Team AA smiled. His gaze was turned towards Kim Na-ri.

He still had a secret weapon left to turn the table.

* * *

The whistle blew when the number on the scoreboard reached zero.

[Time has elapsed! The game is over. Everyone, please come out of the fish tank. Hey, over there! Don’t touch the dominoes without me knowing!]

People came out of the fish tank one by one.

Kim Na-ri ran to Cheon Do-woon with an excited face.

“Sir! We made it the longest. Our team will win!”

Kim Na-ri smiled brightly. Her face looked like she had done it 49 times.

When Cheon Do-woon threw the dominoes, it seemed like he was crossing a river, but there was no law that said people had to die.

Somehow he overcame the hardships and won the first round.

[Let’s announce the scores! It’s obvious who the winning team is. The dark horse that caught everyone’s attention from the start is the winner of the first round! It’s none other than the Coconut Family…!]

“I object!”

The leader of Team AA shouted. His voice echoed throughout the stadium because he shouted with mana.

As people’s attention turned to him, he appeared in close-up on a large screen.

He stepped forward when the surroundings became quiet.

“The Coconut Family has cheated!”

[You call that foul play?]

“Yes, that girl over there. How old does she look?”

At the leader’s words, people looked at Kim Na-ri.

“At most, she’s seven years old. At most, she’s probably eight years old. How can someone like that be an Awakened One?”

His words stirred a buzz around him. It was something I hadn’t thought of because I was caught up in the festive atmosphere.

“That’s true. Aren’t those who awaken supposed to be in their late teens?”

“I heard there are exceptions….”

“But if I had become an Awakener at that age, it would have been on the news or something. What is it?”

The audience was in an uproar. The judges also looked at each other with puzzled faces.

‘Okay.’

The leader of Team AA smirked. His goal was to disqualify the Coconut Family due to foul play.

The mood has shifted, so all we have to do is push through once more.

“Even if we give them a hundred steps and say they are an awakened person, look at their age. That person is a kindergartener. In other words, they are an F-rank who has just awakened.”

“Now that I hear it… .”

“Think about how that kid moved in the fish tank. Did that make him look like an F-class ability user?”

The judges started to criticize each other.

The leader of Team AA laughed inwardly. It was almost time to strike the final blow.

“I’m sure they carved a physical strengthening spell into the child’s body!”

That was the starting point and the commotion grew louder.

The host went to Cheon Do-woon with a puzzled look on his face.

[There have been allegations of foul play against the Coconut Family Team. Can you refute them?]

“Yeah. It’s faster to show than to tell.”

Cheon Do-woon opened the zipper on the front of his fanny pack.

A storage space separate from where Dodak sleeps. Inside the flat pocket were several cards.

‘That, that’s…!’

A hunter ID card we made when we all went to the Hunter Association together.

The host next to him widened his eyes when he saw the hunter ID he took out.

‘Oh, did I see something wrong? I think I just saw the letter S.’

It’s not even just one card. Every time you turn the card over, you see the letter S.

It was the hunter’s certificate of Cheon Do-woon, his siblings, and Dodaki.

‘Do, Dodak! I saw the name Dodak! The hunter ID I just got was also small enough to be special!’

The host’s mouth fell open. He looked back and forth between the masked Cheon Do-woon and the Hunter ID.

I think I know who this guy is. If he’s the guy I think he is, he didn’t cheat. Everyone he brought in must be incredibly skilled.

Cheon Do-woon picked out Kim Na-ri’s hunter ID and handed it to him.

“Look at the screen. That’s Kim Na-ri’s ID.”

“This, this is… . Oh my god.”

The host looked at Kim Na-ri’s card with a dumbfounded face.

Even though the S-class card that I saw at first glance was surprising, the card that Cheon Do-woon handed me was surprising in another way.

[Hey, guys. Look at this.]

The host flashed his Hunter ID. It was enlarged and shown on the screen.

【Grade: A】

【Name: Kim Na-ri】

Kim Na-ri’s hunter ID was enlarged on the screen.

The surroundings became quiet at the sight of the card with the Hunter Association seal.

The audience and participants were speechless, their mouths open. The judges were no different.

The AA team that had raised the objection froze stiffly with their eyes wide open.

[That young girl is an A-class hunter!]

The announcer’s voice echoed throughout the stadium.
