Chereads / Ambrosia - Who is The MC? / Chapter 7 - The Feast Begins

Chapter 7 - The Feast Begins

The referee has just given the kick-off and the 10 starting actors begin their dance under the roars of the public. The two teams wearing conveniently the blue jersey for team Coconut Dream and the red jersey for Silver Space put on such a memorable and exceptional spectacle that it would be impossible to describe every action in words.

"Wow what a game, it's so memorable and impossible to describe by word for word, it would be such a shame if someone cut it off just to make a world-saving announcement."Nearby, a young girl was not indifferent to this interaction.

"Now I remember why I'm never around when you start unmasking an MC."

"First time for everything."

"Can you at least pretend you don't know me? Please??"

"Are you sure about that, Assistant-chan~?"

The curse the girl was about to utter was drowned out by the cheers of the fans. The blue team point guard* delighted the crowd with her dribbling and passing skills. A star who has multiplied by 10 the skills of her teammates and was carrying the game.

"Hm, she's good and she looks like a nice girl, I guess I should cheer her on. How about you Mr. Defective?"

"I encourage anything that can help me unmask this MC, wait here, I'll hunt him down to gather information."

"Oh YES please."

"..."

So he set out to go to the MC. Soon he could hear their words.

"Wow, how cool, I wish I could play like her."

"So you like athletic girls after all. As expected."

"Oh my God..."

Meanwhile on the floor the show took a delicate turn. The red team ace* in possession bounced it between his legs faster and faster against the power forward*. He sprinted to the side, dragging his opponent who was following him more and more difficult when suddenly...

"Not..."

The player in blue was looking back. A shiver ran through the audience at what was happening.

"...in front..."

Time had stopped menacingly, the ace had stopped, the audience had fallen silent but the clock was still ticking. However, the blue striker continued to advance. he had just suffered an ankle breaker.

"...of my girlfriend."

He then falls noisily to the ground. The still and cold ace then threw a successful three-pointer.

"HENRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!"

The girlfriend screamed desperately.

The point guard and captain of the team came to the bedside of her teammate who did not get up. Soon the nurses join them. The doctor watched him for a moment before giving a sad nod to his assistants. the point guard was worried.

"It is serious?"

"He was hurt in the feelings, no possibility of recovering from it."

"Oh no."

He was taken off the field, hiding his face. A new player replaced him and the game resumed. But the ordeal repeats itself, set off by the commentator.

"What a crossover from Silver Space ace Kate Lebas AKA LEBASKATE! The opponent was dry as a towel and... Oh my god he doesn't get up! Is he also injured?... Yes ! The nurses are coming! I correct myself that he got MURDERED LIKE A DEER SOMEBODY BRING THE FORMOL PLEASE!"

somehow later

"Another one bites the dust! CALL THIS GUY'S MOMMY BECAUSE HER SON WILL GIVE BIRTH IN 9 MONTHS!!!!"

and again

"BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!!! GET OUT OF HERE PAL, THIS IS WHY YOU ARE A BENCHER! TELL YOUR FAMILY THE NAME OF YOUR TEAM SO THEY'LL SEE HOW YOU'RE MAKING A FOOL OF THEM BY TELLING THEM YOU PLAY BASKETBALL!"

again and again

"Haven't we seen this guy before? Oh! Silly me, I confused you WITH A CLOWN I SAW IN A CIRCUS YESTERDAY! WANT TO GET THEIR NUMBER? YOU AIN'T GETTING DRAFTED ANYWAY."

"What's wrong with that idiot? Laughing at our defeat.."

"Uh captain, we have a problem with Jimbo."

"We have a Jimbo?"

"Yeah, the guy who will replace Gerard."

"What is the problem?"

"He can't play."

" Emotional damage?"

"Motivation failure."

on the substitutes' bench.

"We are only sides characters, they are too strong for us."

The captain fell to her knees, her arms on the ground.

"Why? Why today? WHYYYYYYY?"

The public rumbled in front of the match which turned into a massacre. Spectators mocked the blue team by making up chants on their name.

"The coconut nut is a giant nut

If you eat too much

You'll get very fat

now

The coconut nut is a big big nut

But this delicious nut

is not a nut..."*

"Wow... They're so awful, the captain doesn't deserve it... And neither do the other players!"

The MC got away with it, avoiding the icy gaze that had just fallen on his right. Another icy gaze fixed his back.

(This is so frustrating This team never lost and everything that happens today is that damn MC's fault. I need hard proof but this guy is smart. And the first quarter is almost over.)

On the ground, the agitation worsened, the commentator did not miss a beat.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING ? THE COCO PLAYERS ALIAS THE COCONUT TREES REFUSE TO ENTER THE PITCH! THIS IS A TERRIBLE FAULT IN FAIR PLAY AND..... I'm told on air they're TERRIFIED TO KNOW IT'S JUST THE FIRST QUARTER AND THE SCORE IS 48 TO 13!! ! HOW DID YOU GET THESE POINTS? 4 3-POINT SHOT AND 1 FREE THROW? 6 2-POINT SHOT? HOW DO YOU SHARE THESE POINTS? WHICH ONE OF YOU SCORED???"

on the pitch

"Get your arses on the pitch before I kick them!"

"Joke on you we're into that!"

Onlookers groaned and voices took part for the captain, the assistant also suffered for her, while drinking juice and thinking about what to eat for dinner, and how happy she was not to be the one roasted by the public, but she suffered for sure. The MC between a rock and a hard place was also feeling sorry for her.

"Sadness to see 11 players suffering so much."

"They are 5 but if you were a little less focused on the captain you would know, UMF!"

"I was talking about substitutes. Why is it so abnormal today?..."

But this last sentence was ringing in the ears of a predator who finally found an opening.

"EUREKA!"

The detective exclaimed so loudly that the whole audience hears him and looks at him.

"Eh? The hell?"

"What's wrong with this man?"

"He looks weird."

"Uh, this is the first time I've seen this man, I swear."

The detective stood up and turned around before dramatically pointing at the MC.

"None of these events have ever happened before, this was a normal team! But that was until YOU came here! Everything today is your fault!"

The surprised MC for a second just turned around as if the detective was talking to someone behind him. The detective jumped right in front of him.

"I'm talking to you calf's head!"

"What?! Who is a calf's head? You-you-you weird man with glasses and a mustache !"

"No need to lie I know everything!"

"Oh yes? So which came first between the chicken and the egg?"

"The Egg!"

(Oh my god it's true, he knows everything!!!)

"Yes, and I will now reveal your identity in front of everyone, Mister Lamb..."

"Seriously, stop calling me lamb. Wait, I know that pattern No... No-no-no-no-no-no... Wait."

"You are..."

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!"

" An MC!"

Power forward: The power forward (PF), also known as the four or strong forward, is a position in basketball. Power forwards play a role similar to centers, his role is mainly defensive: he must prevent opposing attackers from approaching the basket, capture defensive rebounds and counter opponents' shots.
