Chapter 275
After lunch, the second round was held.
The theme this time was 'Luck', and there were three games prepared that depended on luck.
The production team explained that since both the cast of
"This time, I'll show you for real. Oh, just trust me. I'm really in good spirits today."
Of course, the person who caught our eye the most on our team was Kang Si-yoon.
When Ji Yoon-chul and Heo Yu-bin gave him anxious looks, he proudly shrugged his shoulders, saying that he would show a different side of himself this time.
-Thud!
-Ttiyong! [Eye popping out sound]
-Crunch!
Miracles didn't happen easily.
Kang Si-yoon broke a raw egg, let Tong Ajusshi escape without fail on his turn, and even wet his pants while trying to accurately pose for the Styrofoam wall.

It was truly a one-man show.
"Hey, I want Si-yoon. No, we also have a bad hand. Was it always like this?"
"Yes!"
"Whenever we played games like this, Si-yoon was the only one who got caught."
"I heard he was blessed by the entertainment god. Ah, I really like it."
Kang Si-yoon's misfortune felt very unfortunate to the members who lost so senselessly, but to the entertainers, it was a really shining ability.
Kang Si-yoon, who received a lot of praise from his seniors, smiled brightly and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you! Call me anytime! I'll run right over to you!"
"I have a feeling this is going to happen. Siyoon will be here again soon. As a guest."
"Shouldn't Byung-tae and Jong-woo be nervous at this point? They could be replaced at any time."
"Hey, hey! You shouldn't say that!"
Was it because they performed so well? There was even talk that the regular members of
Kang Si-yoon was able to fully show off his charms in this game, but in the end, we ended up tied 1-1 with the cast team.
We took a break before moving on to the next game and re-armed ourselves.
"If we lose this time, there's a penalty. Did you hear what the seniors said earlier?"
"Ah, I really don't want to get hit by a water bomb."
"Isn't it more painful to get off work late than a water bomb?"
"Being dragged to work somewhere is also ahh......."
The start was good, but now it's the end of the road.
If we lose one more time here, we'll get a penalty.
The members were determined to avoid the penalty.
"Let's do our best. Let's show what a team spirit is. Okay?"
"Yes!"
"If we all work hard together, we can win! In the previous round, Siyoon hyung was so overwhelmingly active that we couldn't help it, but we can win this time!"
"Ha, haha, I didn't want to be that active either."
After cheering along to Song Hyungbin's cheer, we entered the set for the last round.
"Huh?"
"It's a ring?"
"Hyung! This is a round for you, isn't it?"
The first thing that caught the eye was none other than a large square ring.
Why was a ring used for boxing or WWE matches included in the set?
What was immediately predictable was that the last round would definitely be a game that required physical strength and power.
When Heo Yu-bin excitedly rubbed my shoulder, I shook my head here and there and relaxed my muscles.
"Ha, now is the time for this body to finally show off its skills."
"Bring in the punk Karis, hyung! The punk Karis!"
"I didn't want to bring up those days."
The concept I did during the
Was this the moment to bring up my days as a punk student from overseas?
I approached the ring while deliberately taking exaggerated actions.
"Everyone, look forward to it. I'll crush you all."
"Yeah, now is the time for Karis to show off. To be honest, he didn't do anything today."
What I did today.
All I did was squeak and move ridiculously like a wooden doll, crawl on all fours to express a lion, and smoothly stab Tong Ajusshi in the torso with two swords.
Yes. As Song Hyung-bin said, I have never shown my true self today.
Going to an important place like a weekend entertainment show and stepping back without doing anything special. This is a matter of pride. I can never end it like this.
This is my last chance. I am confident in any physical game.
"Oh, what is it! A ring?"
"Oh, it's been a while since I've played a physical game! I like it, I like it."
The cast of
Usually, sports like boxing are usually played on these types of stadiums, but I wondered if it was possible for ordinary people to box on a variety show without thinking.
As expected, the production team had prepared a separate game.
"The last round to decide which team will be penalized is the 'relay cockfight'."
The event is cockfighting.
Unlike regular cockfighting, the players will participate in a predetermined order.
One player each in the first and second rounds.
Two players in the third round, and one player in the fourth round.
And then the remaining two players will all participate in the final fifth round.
In short, the earlier you knock down the opposing team, the more advantageous the situation becomes. You can gain the numerical advantage.
"You have to plan without knowing who your opponent will be, so that's the most important thing."
"That's right. If you put Yu-bin against Senior Jung Moo-hyuk, there's no need to answer."
As soon as Chae Eun-gyu's dizzying words came out, Heo Yu-bin's shoulders flinched and his lips trembled.
"Look at Senior's arms. How can I win?"
"Hmm..."
Kang Si-yoon, who is good at coming up with extraordinary countermeasures in times like these, had high expectations.
"In my opinion, it might be best to put the strongest person as the first runner. For example, if Karis goes first and knocks down the person who came out in the first round as quickly as possible, there will be a numerical advantage from the beginning. Then, we can continue to create favorable situations in the second and third rounds."
"But then, wouldn't Karis's stamina drop too much?"
"That's a bit concerning, but it's also a problem if he comes out later. If senior Moo-hyuk comes out around the second round, there's almost no choice but to lose the numerical advantage, right? Then, we have to pull out the Karis card in a disadvantageous situation, but if a 1 vs. 3 fight breaks out right from the beginning, even Karis will be anxious. It'll be hard to deal with attacks from both sides."
Kang Si-yoon's words definitely make sense.
If we can just go out from the beginning and gain the numerical advantage, we can occupy the high points that are advantageous throughout the game.
The problem is.......
"Hey, but what if the seniors have the same idea as us and put senior Moo-hyuk out first?"
"Then, what......."
Kang Si-yoon looked into my eyes and smiled.
"Karis should go to Meta."
"Karis, do it!"
"Hyung, do it!"
"Okay? I believe you."
"Hehe, just trust me. I'll take care of whoever comes."
"Reliable, reliable!"
Right, even if Jung Moo-hyuk comes out as the first runner, I just have to not lose.
I relaxed my muscles, gradually putting strength into my body that hadn't been working for a while.
I used to show consideration for the members in YouTube's self-content. If I treated them sincerely, I could have won unilaterally and boringly.
But today is different.
'I can give it my all without worrying about what others think.'
Just as I was feeling a strange sense of liberation, the rosters for both teams were submitted to the production team.
After a brief war of nerves between the two, the players who would appear in the first round came up to the ring.
"Hey, this is a bust. What do we do?"
"Oh, they did the opposite of our strategy."
"...What should I do?"
Kim Byung-tae, the oldest member of the
It seemed that the cast had devised a strategy of sending out the weaker players first and putting in the ace players in the latter half.
When everyone else's stamina was gone, the strongest player would come in and sweep them all away.
'Unfortunately, my stamina won't be easily reduced.'
Because I had promised myself that I would give it my all today.
Even though Kim Byeong-tae's eyes were still shaking greatly, I had no intention of letting him go easily because he was my senior.
But just in case, let's prepare the groundwork in advance.
"Is it okay if I remove all my smile?"
"Okay, okay. It's okay."
The main MC, Im Tae-jin, encouraged me, saying that it was okay, but the others behind felt that something was wrong.
"Your eyes are similar to the ones you had when you ate lemon earlier. Your eyes have become completely serious."
"Aren't we all going to be blown away, hyung?"
"Hey, but we have Moo-hyuk. Let's try to drain as much energy as possible. Even if we don't win."
The first round that started like that... ended really quickly without any complicated explanations.
"Ready, start!"
"Let's go, senior."
"Huh, huh? Huh huh? Huh-!"
I warned Kim Byung-tae that I would start attacking him out of courtesy, but Kim Byung-tae didn't have enough time to react.
I arrived in front of Kim Byung-tae in three jumps while appropriately utilizing the muscles in my right leg, and without showing any mercy, I just slammed my knee down, and Kim Byung-tae, whose center of gravity immediately shifted downward, sank without any resistance.
"Ah, no, you were like a ninja. I blink once, and you were right in front of me."
"Hyung, you worked hard."
"No, wow....... You're a real ninja."
Even as I walked out of the ring, Kim Byung-tae couldn't help but admire my agile body movements.
The atmosphere of our team was the best.
"Kang Si-yoon, why are you so smart!"
"I did the right thing, didn't I? Ha, I told you! He'll do it!"
"Karis hyung, win them all!"
Our strategy was to send all the members with good stamina in the first and second rounds.
The person who came out in the second round took on the role of supporting me so that I could last until the last round.
"That's right! Hyungbin hyung is good!"
"Kick with your knees!"
"Aaah! Toes, I stepped on them! Aaaaah! Time! Time!"
Chae Ji-hoon, who came out next, was helplessly defeated by Song Hyung-bin and me in the cooperative attack.
I barely attacked and just tapped Chae Ji-hoon's balance from the side, and Song Hyung-bin charged straight ahead like a bull and drove his knees into him.
'So far, everything is going according to plan.'
We succeeded in creating a huge difference in personnel of 4 to 2 in the third round, where 2 people participated.
Now, all we had to do was block the variables here.
"He's coming out. Senior Jung Moo-hyuk is coming out."
"Karis, you know? What should we do?"
"Just trust me."
It seems that the
I fixed my posture as I watched Im Tae-jin and Jeong Moo-hyuk participate at the same time.
Chae Eun-gyu and Yoo Min-ha, who came in additionally, tightened their formation by sticking as close to Song Hyung-bin as possible.
"Ready, start!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as the whistle blew, Jeong Moo-hyuk and Im Tae-jin broke expectations and rushed forward at the same time.
I originally intended to mark Jeong Moo-hyuk and prevent him from going elsewhere, but I couldn't keep up with him as he rushed out so recklessly.
"He's coming here!"
"Eun-gyu Hyung, if you come too far to the side, I'll fall over too!"
"Don't panic! There are more of us!"
The sudden rush made the members panic.
Taking advantage of the gap, Im Tae-jin and Jeong Moo-hyuk launched an all-out attack on Song Hyung-bin, who was at the front.
"Keu-heu!"
No matter how athletic Song Hyung-bin was, he couldn't take the heavy attacks coming from both sides on his own.
When I saw his balance shake for a moment, I opened my mouth slightly and took a deep breath.
'Recall. The feeling of that time.'
The mana that existed in
The mana that is the source of all techniques is gone, so the sword energy does not actually come out, but the postures and movements can be recreated as they are.
I narrowed my eyes as I watched Im Tae-jin and Jeong Moo-hyuk attacking Song Hyung-bin from both sides.
I can see it. The optimal route is to hit two people at the same time.
I concentrated all my strength on the tip of my right foot.
I tensed my muscles so that I could run forward at any time.
My upper body slightly forward, my arms to the side so that I could always draw my sword.
Everything ends in an instant.
The story that the Sword Master who taught me swordsmanship used
A rushing technique that can instantly close the distance and strike even if the enemy is far away.
I took a slow breath as I assumed the ready stance for 'Flare Blitz'.
This very moment when my whole body was filled with strength.
I literally kicked the ground and jumped with one foot toward Song Hyung-bin, who was on the verge of collapsing.
