The ordinary people’s team took turns with the YouTuber team to the starting point. Jang Seok-gi and Lee Min-ho took a ready stance side by side.

[Okay then… 3! 2! One! depart!]

Beep~

‘I’m sure Lee Min-ho will do well too.’

Jang Seok-gi thought as he put his body on the rope.

According to the video he saw, Lee Min-ho’s movements were not normal. Honestly, it was amazing to see him freely controlling his body.

However, single-rope crossing is not simply determined by physical specifications.

Basically, you need to have enough strength to move forward by relying on a single rope, but there is no one here who can’t do that. In Jang Seok-gi’s opinion, the most important thing was tact.

And in the military, he once broke the record for an upward-angled single rope at 7 minutes. It is true that 100m is a long distance, but he has become more disciplined than before. He was confident of winning the bet.

‘I’d like to ask you to visit the gym later.’

Seueueueueueueueueuuu

Unlike the head, which is already thinking about the end of the game, the body moves forward slowly, extending the arms regularly and using the recoil of the rope.

Wow

with a plop

He could hear other team members falling into the water, but there was no way he could help them right now. We just move forward and hope that our team’s record is better than that of the YouTuber team.

How far has it progressed without hesitation? He had already passed more than half of the way, so he decided to take a break and turned his head to look around.

‘How far has Lee Min-ho come? Could it be that he was eliminated…?!’

He turned his head and saw Lee Min-ho. I don’t know when he started following me, but he was chasing me from slightly behind.

I made eye contact with Lee Min-ho, who was looking straight ahead.

“Hello? Haha, you’re really fast.”

“Ah, yes… Lee Min-ho too.”

Jang Seok-gi began to feel impatient as he looked at the person greeting him calmly.

Unlike before, where he moved forward slowly while conserving his stamina, he quickly extends his arms and pulls himself up.

“You’re really fast.”

“Your posture is correct. I guess you had a lot of rope riding experience in the military?”

“Anyway, 3m is quite high. Is the water deep enough?”

Strangely, Lee Min-ho’s voice in my ear did not move away at all even though I increased my speed.

‘Are we getting closer?’

I tried my best to move without responding, but I couldn’t shake it off.

Jang Seok-gi himself was becoming increasingly out of breath and sweat was dripping from his face, and as this continued, he was on the verge of losing his mind. I felt like I was being chased by a ghost in a horror movie.

Still, as a result of moving forward, the destination was in sight. It was the moment when I once again stretched out my arm and tried to grab the rope.

“Ugh!”

puck

sloshing

Instead of Lee Min-ho on the right, another participant on the left missed the rope and fell, touching the rope with his foot.

Because of this, the string of jangseokgi, which had been swinging at a regular beat, lost its rhythm and swayed from side to side. He lost his balance at the same time.

‘Oh… shit…!’

I quickly stretched out my arm, but my sweaty and slippery hand was unable to hold on to the rope and my fingertips flew off.

Eventually, the feldspar falls to the surface with its head down.

“Ugh…! Huh?”

A vise-like grip on his ankles stopped his fall.

When I turned my head and looked up, I saw Lee Min-ho with his legs on the rope and holding on to him with both hands.

“What is this……”

“Would you like to continue resting there? Do you want to swim?”

“Oh, no. Please upload it.”

Okay~

He also raised his upper body and held on to the rope in accordance with the force Lee Min-ho was pulling up. When he finally got back on the rope and took his stance, he saw Lee Min-ho sitting on the rope in a comfortable position as if he were in his own home.

“Hahaha……”

It seems like it was a bet that no opponent could compete with in the first place. Unlike him, who was covered in sweat and made a big mistake, Lee Min-ho kept his fresh face.

It probably wouldn’t have been a problem to overtake him if I wanted to. It’s just that I didn’t do my best to control the pace.

I felt at ease when I thought that it was a bet with a fixed outcome from the beginning.

“Thank you.”

But it is different from giving up. Rather, a strong competitive spirit burns. I changed my mindset from just being a ‘participant worth keeping an eye on’ to being a ‘competitor I will fight against with all my might’.

Jang Seok-gi looked at Lee Min-ho with burning eyes.

“Jang Seok-ki is advancing very quickly!”

Coach Crow is busy broadcasting while watching the first round set. Viewers’ reactions were pouring in in the chat window next to him.

-Is this the fastest so far?

-He’s almost an active soldier haha.

-Good posture

-Other people are whole chickens haha.

-Lee Min-ho is also fast.

-It seems similar.

glance

He said after checking the reactions of viewers.

“It certainly seems like the general public’s team is comprised of two players: Jang Seok-ki and Lee Min-ho! Contestant Lee Min-ho is closely following Jang Seok-gi, who is skillfully advancing from the front!”

-I think Jang Seok-gi will win the bet.

-just in case

-I don’t know.

-It’s really fast.

-I’m going to waste all my life.

Coach Cro, who checked the last chat, smiled and said.

“All clothes worn by participants are sportswear from ○△□! Because it is highly functional…”

– Instant advertising

-I got sponsored haha.

-Wow, I have to buy it right away! (Can I use it like this?)

-I understand, so just explain!

-Is this a script? lol

While Crococh was filling up the volume, the Feldsolith period was almost at its end.

“Somehow, the bet between Jang Seok-ki and Lee Min-ho ended up with Jang Seok-gi winning…? What’s happening?!”

-???

-?

-and

-What is it?

-lol

-I’m tired

A sudden troll from an ordinary person team participant. And the crisis of Jang Seok-ki. Finally, participant Lee Min-ho caught the falling athlete Jang Seok-gi and brought him back up the rope.

As an unbelievable scene was created, both Coach Cro and viewers were momentarily speechless.

When the voice went blank for a few seconds, the staff member next to him gave a signal to Coach Cro.

Coach Cro soon came to his senses and shouted in an excited voice.

“No, what is this?! Contestant Lee Min-ho saved Jang Seok-ki, who was on the verge of being eliminated due to a teammate’s mistake!”

After drinking water for a moment, he instructed the staff to play the video again in slow motion.

“If you look here, Lee Min-ho, who found Jang Seok-gi losing his balance and falling, hung on the rope like a bat and grabbed Jang Seok-gi’s ankle! The reaction speed is truly unbelievable!”

-Wow lol

-The interview video shows that he is almost a superhuman haha.

-How did you catch that?

-The reaction speed is really crazy.

-No, this is a live broadcast???

“This is a very beautiful sports spirit! I was looking for an opponent who could be a strong competitor, and if I made a mistake, I could also be eliminated!”

-ㄹㅇㅋ

-You really have a strong heart.

-He’s a real man.

-Hey

-That’s cool.

‘Phew… I took ten years.’

Fog almost appeared over the direction of the program created with Jang Seok-gi in mind. If by any chance he had been eliminated, all his brains would have been pulled out to decide the editing direction again.

‘For this part, Lee Min-ho should be featured.’

Unfortunately, when he explained the rules for the first round, he explained that if you fall into the water, you are not eliminated, but if you miss the rope and fall, so there was a possibility that viewers would protest after seeing this scene.

‘No, I said that because if you lose the line, you usually fall into the water…’

In that case, there is only one thing he needs to do: focus a positive image on contestant Lee Min-ho and emphasize the fact that he ‘saved his teammate from the risk of elimination.’

If viewers become passionate about it, they will be able to ignore minor noises.

“Now, let’s take a look at the video from participant Lee Min-ho’s pre-interview one more time. The scripts that come out as if they have super powers…”

-I was really bored.

-That looks like a scene from a movie haha.

-It’s crazy to see it again.

-Hey

And just as he intended, viewers began to be enthusiastic about the rising dark horse.

‘what? My back is hot.’

In the background, there are only feldspars moving furiously. When I saved him, he suddenly started laughing, so I roughly accepted his thanks and moved on.

It was a little dangerous just now. As he drew up a confrontation with me, the feldspar that was supposed to take care of my load almost fell, and even though there was a high-speed accident, I was momentarily appalled.

‘Still, it’s not bad.’

Helping a participant who is a member of the same team but is also a competitor. Isn’t this a scene full of complete sportsmanship?

While I was thinking that way, I finally arrived at the end.

As I stood at the end and watched our team squirming hard, the feldspathic flag soon arrived in front of me.

“This… I lost the bet.”

“Jang Seok-ki would have won even if the rope had not shaken.”

“No. On the contrary, I was on the verge of being eliminated, but I received help.”

He looked at me for a moment and offered to shake my hand.

“Just ask for anything. I will do everything possible.”

“Be prepared as you may be asked to ask too much.”

He smiled at me joking.

“This is what I hoped for.”

While we were talking, all of the surviving civilian team members arrived. I was eliminated more than I expected.

Soon Coach Crow’s voice was heard.

[Ego! The first round game has ended!]

[Unfortunately, 5 participants from the general public team were eliminated!]

[The first round match is won by the YouTuber team!]

[But the person who recorded the fastest time was Lee Min-ho, a member of the general public team!]

[Lee Min-ho’s contestant will be given two choices!]

[The first is to offset the advantage and penalty!]

[The second is to receive advantage and penalty at the same time!]

[Lee Min-ho’s choice!]

I slowly opened my mouth.

“I……”
