S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 214
Only Noblemtl
214. The contestants are siblings and Cheon Do-un.
“Sir, who are those people?”
As the leader of the AA team turned around, Kim Na-ri asked.
Cheon Do-woon laughed at that. Their intentions were obvious, but the gap in skill was this big, so it was just fun.
“Do you know him?”
“No. I think it’s a nearby team. Come and tell me what the next event is.”
“Oh oh? That’s kind.”
“Yes. That’s kind.”
The leader, who was returning to the tent at Cheon Do-un’s words, was momentarily flustered.
I was listening, pretending not to care because I cared about their reactions.
I thought they would go to a strategy meeting to discuss their provocation, but the AA team suddenly became a friendly team that gave me information.
“What kind of guy is that?”
The leader returned to the team’s tent and clicked his tongue with a displeased expression.
“Don’t worry about it, Captain. He’s just showing off.”
They said that, but they were all concerned about the Coconut Family.
The ability displayed in the first round is too great to be considered bluffing.
They recalled the evil power that Cheon Do-un had shown. The movements of Kim Na-ri and No. 49 also flashed through their minds.
“They are not ordinary people. Not only that leader, but also the man swimming in the water. Those were the movements of someone who had crossed the line countless times.”
The leader’s words were correct. Number 49 had crossed the threshold of the underworld many times from the resort island in the northern seas.
Bitten by a chimera, trampled by a goblin, and rolled around by his siblings.
In the end, even Cheon Do-un joined in, so it was a miracle that they returned without crossing the river.
“That guy in the water, he’s got a very large build, he must be a professionally trained guy.”
Number 49 was unable to walk until just a few days ago.
The leader, who had no idea about that, spoke seriously about professional training.
“Well, whatever. What’s done is done. We lost the first round, so let’s focus on the remaining matches. We have to win.”
If you win the final, you will receive a generous amount of prize money along with a bonus from Rep. Park Woo-jung.
To do that, we had to win by any means necessary.
“Captain. I got a call from Rep. Park Woo-jung. He said he’s messed around on the set of the Coconut Team. It’s going to be fun.”
“Really? Isn’t this game going to be decided too easily?”
They laughed. After receiving the prize money and the bribe, we should go on a cruise or something.
They laughed and had sweet dreams.
* * *
A 20-minute break was given after the first game.
Kim Na-ri and number 49 dried their wet bodies using the dry towels prepared by the organizers.
When they returned to the tent, they were deciding who would compete in the second round.
“They say that it’s advantageous to have good eyesight in the second round. Then it must be siblings, right?”
The group nodded. When it came to eyesight, the siblings were acknowledged as the best.
Of the two, Yujia has particularly good eyesight.
If we were to judge only by eyesight, even Yoo Beom would be one step ahead of her.
‘They said that if you transform your appearance, you will have four eyes on your face.’
It would be grotesque to see a face with four large, round bird eyes.
Of course, I couldn’t go to the match looking like that.
‘Even without transformation, no one can match the eyesight of the siblings.’
This was a game with a set outcome.
“It’s not fun if it’s too obvious. Shouldn’t I participate while carrying some kind of handicap?”
“Okay. Should I cover one eye and do a handstand?”
The group laughed at Yoo Beom’s playful remark.
But Baekho Lee, who checked the pamphlet, did not laugh.
“Brothers, I don’t think this game is that simple. This is also a game that requires three people to work together as a team, and I don’t think you can win just because you have good eyesight.”
Vision was only one of the prerequisites for participation.
“One person has to look at a sign in the distance and use gestures to express it. The team member on the other side has to look at it and say the answer.”
In other words, communication with the pairs that formed the team was important.
Even if you can see the sign, it is useless if it is not conveyed to the person who needs to guess the answer.
“It’s a match that requires a lot of coordination. And I heard there’s a distraction event.”
“Interference event?”
“Yes. There’s going to be a natural disaster like an earthquake or a tornado at the playground. It’s something that’s artificially created through the Jumunjin, but… You have to read the signs and convey them to the other person in the midst of that chaos.”
Indeed, the Awakened Ones’ sports day. It was anything but ordinary.
“That’s what they say. Can you do it?”
Cheon Do-woon looked at the siblings. It was expected to be a very difficult match, but the siblings smiled.
“Don’t worry. That’s our specialty.”
“Really? Have you ever done anything like this?”
“Yes. I did it a lot when I was young.”
The time spent isolated in the gate without civilization was 60 years.
To relieve boredom, the siblings tried every game they could play together.
There was no problem with the interruption event either.
The natural disasters that occur within the Gate are incomparable to those in the human world.
The siblings grew up in that environment. They persevered. They survived.
The sandstorm created for the game could not have been a threat to them.
The group laughed when they realized that. As expected, the winner of this game was already decided.
“But didn’t you say earlier that three people would participate? What role does the other one have?”
“It’s similar to the first round. The remaining one has to block the other team’s sabotage. You can also jump in to sabotage the other team.”
“Get in the way. Should I just poke their eyes so they can’t see?”
Cheon Do-woon muttered. Even though he knew it was a joke, Baek-ho Lee paused for a moment.
Even if he were a genius, he wouldn’t go around poking out the eyes of a living person.
Even as I thought about that, I couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat running down my back.
“Please, take it easy. It’s a game.”
“Okay. Just take it easy.”
That’s always been the hard way.
“Then the second round is for the siblings to decide who will participate. We just need to pick one last person. Let’s start drawing lots.”
Baekho Lee put ping pong balls in the box according to the number of people and shook it.
* * *
The announcement announcing the second round of games rang out.
Players from each team came out onto the field. Players from the Coconut Family team also stepped forward.
The second round contestants are the siblings and Cheon Do-woon.
“I didn’t know I had this much luck with drawing.”
Cheon Do-woon went to the game in a row. This time, he picked the yellow ball again in the lottery to decide the player.
The remaining team members were waving cheering sticks in the tent.
“go for it!”
They cheered loudly. However, the object of their cheering was not Cheon Do-woon and his siblings.
“Let’s all go home alive!”
They were rooting for the opposing team to survive.
[Now, let’s start the division of roles. Those who want to see the sign, please stand in front of the line drawn on the floor.]
At the host’s words, Yoo Beom stepped forward.
Anyway, both Yoo Beom and Yoo Ji Ah have outstanding eyesight. So, we decided to give the role of ‘seeing’ to the one who is better at expressing words through gestures rather than eyesight.
[The team member who guessed the answer should stand opposite them. They must never look back. If they do, it will be considered as looking at the sign and they will be disqualified, so please be careful.]
At the host’s words, Yoo Ji-ah stood in front of Yoo Beom at an appropriate distance.
[Finally, those who are in charge of sabotage! These people can move freely. However, please be careful not to give out hints for the sign’s answer, as this will result in disqualification. Then, stand still!]
The host raised his gun towards the sky. With a bang, the game began.
* * *
Rep. Park Woo-jung looked out the window with his luggage on his back.
There, the host was busy explaining the game. The secretary approached him as he looked out the window with a relaxed expression.
“Congressman. I’m back.”
“Okay. Did you do everything I told you to do?”
“Yes, I made some changes to the game’s set-up. Obstacles like earthquakes, sandstorms, and tornadoes will avoid the AA team.”
Of course, I couldn’t completely avoid it because people wouldn’t notice.
However, while it is applied to other teams at a strength of 10, the spell has been modified so that it is applied to AA team at a strength of only 2 to 3.
Of course, the backroom work didn’t stop there.
“The Coconut Family will be activated with the strongest obstacle spell. No matter how good your eyesight is, you won’t be able to see the sign in the midst of a natural disaster.”
“Well done. There’s a lot of talk about this year’s dark horse or something. I have to step on the dangerous buds first. The team I’m supporting has to win.”
Rep. Park Woo-jung said with a sly smile.
In his head, the AA team he was supporting was already receiving the championship trophy.
* * *
The curtain covering the sign was lowered with a gunshot announcing the start of the game.
Each team’s sign had a different picture to prevent them from copying the other team’s answer.
Cheon Do-woon glanced at the sign.
Pictures and letters. Numbers and shapes. Dozens of symbols were randomly placed on the sign.
‘Even if they are awakened, there probably aren’t many people who can see this from that distance.’
Cheon Do-woon looked at the people who were given the role of ‘viewing’. As he expected, the participants were confused when they saw the sign.
“What does it say? Is it a drawing… or is it text?”
“It’s too far away to see.”
“Why is the writing so small?”
“I can’t even start this without the relevant skills.”
As soon as the game started, many teams started to forfeit.
Even if you want to play the game, you can’t because you can’t see anything.
The remaining participants used their abilities to see signs in the distance.
“If I use my object’s magnification ability…! Oh no, it’s too far away, so the ability doesn’t work well!”
“Share the sense of the summoner! Come on, my rabbits. Go and check the sign.”
“Huh? Referee! The other team just put drugs in their eyes! Isn’t doping against the rules?”
“Cheating! I’m an alchemist. See this certificate? This is my ability!”
Efforts were made to see the signs from all sides.
The leader of the AA team looked around and laughed.
‘Everyone is desperate. We’re going to win anyway.’
He saw the sign with his vision five times higher.
Since the signboard was prepared separately by the judges, even those with Rep. Park Woo-jung behind them were not able to receive the contents.
‘It doesn’t matter. It looks so good. Let’s start with something that’s easy to express with the body.’
Number 7. That would be nice. That could be easily expressed with fingers.
The moment he was about to show his teammate the finger, the field shook with a loud thud.
“It’s an earthquake!”
To be exact, a disruption event that resembled an earthquake began.
A strong wind also blew. Golden sand grains were created on the ground and a whirlwind rose up.
Dozens of thin vortices moved around the field, stirring up each team.
“Wow!”
“awesome!”
“It’s a spring festival after all! It’s fun to watch things like this!”
Those in the audience cheered at the spectacular spectacle. Of course, the participants did not.
“Damn it. I can’t open my eyes!”
“How can I look ahead in this situation?”
“Hey, you organizers! This is too difficult…! Ugh!”
One contestant was caught in the tornado and blown away.
[Oh no! A contestant was thrown out of the playground! It was the ‘answer-tellers’ who were supposed to not look back. Since they turned their heads towards the sign, that team is automatically eliminated!]
The host, who was enjoying the game just like the audience, also shouted in an excited voice.
The second round was definitely more difficult. If even one of the team members were eliminated, it was over.
The ‘seeer’ had to read the signs in this disastrous situation.
The ‘one who tells the answer’ had to hold on to his body so that it wouldn’t turn in the wind.
The ‘interferer’ that Cheon Do-woon was assigned to was forced to attack the opposing team in this chaos. He also had to protect his own teammates.
[Who can see the sign in this shaking and sandstorm…? Oh! There is a relaxed team!]
The host’s excited voice echoed throughout the playground. The AA team members snickered at that.
‘Our army.’
‘Okay. Tell me more. Praise me more.’
Finally, I was able to monopolize people’s attention. I was able to receive all the attention and cheers that I missed in the first round.
The AA team showed off their performance with their arms wide open.
They, dressed in bee costumes, would be standing out more than anyone else in this place right now.
They raised their heads with proud faces. The host’s voice rang out beyond them.
[Coconut Family Team! They are showing off their comfortable appearance as if they came to your living room!]
