I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

Chapter 208: The Undefeated Man

Once considered the dark horse of the sports festival, the elimination of Class 2-B was shocking.

As I was the main reason for this, I quickly became the class’s public enemy.

“Criminal Kim Yu-seong, lift your head. Do you have anything to say in your defense?”

An impromptu class trial was held.

Led by Ayase as the judge, I knelt on the ground, tied up with the jump rope, and answered with my head hung low in despair.

“I have nothing to say....”

I never expected that Rika, who was turning the rope with me, would be flung to the side.

It was entirely my fault for not controlling my strength, but Rika just laughed it off.

I was already feeling guilty about rejecting her confession, and now, with this mistake added, I couldn’t even look Rika in the face.

Anyway, failing to qualify in the supposedly easy group jump rope event meant our class was starting at a disadvantage compared to the others.

At that moment, Satoru, standing next to Ayase, spoke in a voice that resembled a scheming advisor.

“Your Honor, it seems the criminal shows no signs of remorse. Shall we twist his ankles?”

“No, what are you even talking about?”

The Class President looked at him incredulously, but Satoru acted as if he’d go get two sticks if ordered.

I kept quiet due to my guilt, but under normal circumstances, I would’ve retaliated immediately.

Knowing this, I thought Satoru was quite bold to act this way, and then I asked the Class President,

“So, what should I do now?”

Ayase looked over the sports festival event list on an A4 sheet and said,

“Well, there’s no limit on how many events one person can participate in.”

Originally, I was only supposed to participate in three events in this sports festival.

The relay race, cavalry battle, and dodgeball.

Some events, like the group jump rope, required the whole class, but due to time constraints, some events were scheduled simultaneously.

“...But?”

“If we pack your schedule, you could probably do five events. What do you think about that?”

In other words, I was being asked to make up the lost points with my own hands.

It was a reasonable judgment.

Even if it meant I’d be the only one suffering from the tight schedule.

“So, what’s your answer?”

Crack!

As all my classmates watched, I broke free from my bindings and said,

“Screw it, let’s do this.”

It wasn’t the present me that would suffer, but the future me.

There were five events in this sports festival, excluding the group competitions.

Soccer, basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, and baseball.

Most ball sports had corresponding clubs, so it was common for students in those clubs to be the aces for their classes.

Fortunately, the tournament was divided by grade level, so there wasn’t an imbalance of power in any one team.

Of course, that’s assuming I didn’t exist.

First Event.

‘Soccer’

The captain of Class 2-B was Tomoki Shimamura, a current member of the soccer club.

“If we want to win this tournament, everyone needs to follow my orders. Got it?”

Shimamura said this as he looked over the boys selected from the class.

A total of 11 players.

Normally, one of the bald trio should have been here, but due to a last-minute lineup change, I was sent in as the substitute.

Aside from me, the other ten players seemed to know their positions well and took their spots.

Having just joined the team today, I didn’t know where to stand, so I stood around awkwardly before asking Shimamura,

“What should I do?”

Even if they were overwhelmingly defeated, they just needed to avoid looking pathetic.

With this resolve, the students of Class 2-D shouted, igniting their fighting spirit.

“Ooooooh! Let’s do this!”

“Is Kim Yu-seong all that? We’re strong if we give it our all too!”

“If we win this match, I’m going to confess to Azuki!”

“You idiot! That’s a death flag!”

They almost had an internal conflict due to one clueless guy, but they still united as they took the field.

Finally, the gym teacher, Oonuma, standing in the center of the field, blew the whistle to start the match.

Tweet!

The first to take the initiative was Shimamura, the captain of Class 2-B.

As a current member of the soccer club, his specialty was flashy dribbling.

Shimamura quickly dodged two of Class 2-D’s defenders and surged forward.

“Get him!”

At the shout of Class D’s captain, three people swarmed Shimamura, who was running solo.

No matter how skilled he was, he couldn’t get past the tight marking and barely lost the ball.

The counterattack began immediately.

“My ball!”

A long pass was sent to the side where the attacker’s shout came from.

The attacker from Class 2-D received the ball without difficulty and easily bypassed the approaching defenders from Class 2-B.

Now, there were only about 5 meters left to the opponent’s goal.

‘I can do this!’

A well-founded confidence blossomed in his chest.

Due to the sudden counterattack, Class 2-B’s position had advanced overall, leaving the goal wide open.

But then, it happened.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

A heavy sound, like a dinosaur’s footsteps, began approaching from nearby.

‘What the?!’

The attacker from Class 2-D was shocked.

Because, just moments ago, Kim Yu-seong had been at the corner of the field, but now he was right in front of him.

‘It’s not like he used some teleportation technique, but he covered that distance in an instant?’

He swallowed nervously but gritted his teeth.

‘I can’t lose it after coming this far!’

It was clear that he couldn’t win against Kim Yu-seong in terms of physicality.

But he had “technique.”

The result of two years of hard work as a soccer club member.

‘There!’

At a glance, Kim Yu-seong seemed like an impenetrable wall, but since he was a soccer novice, there was a clear gap between his legs.

He just needed to send the ball through that gap and slip past to the side.

Having perfectly simulated it in his mind, he immediately put the plan into action.

But—

‘Why can’t I move?’

His legs felt as if they were weighed down by heavy iron blocks.

His body couldn’t keep up with his thoughts.

By the time he realized this and tried to move, Kim Yu-seong had already taken the ball.

‘This is ridiculous.’

The attacker from Class 2-D stared blankly at Kim Yu-seong’s back as he moved away.

The sensation he had just felt was none other than “fear.”
