Sports festival (part 2 and 3)

Sports festival (part 2 and 3)

Dec 01, 2023

"The second game of the year, the leather ball throwing!"

"The game consists in the students throwing a leather ball filled with sand, for boys the ball will be seven kilograms and for girls, two kilograms"

The boys from the lower grades whispered between them, after seeing the challange that was coming up.
"Seven kilograms, that's actually nuts!"
"I can handle ten, just give me one"
Said K, rotating an imaginary ball on the tip of his finger.
Jang and Matheo looked at each other, both shocked after hearing what K said
After hearing the announcements, the girls started gossiping too
"Two kilograms, I don't know if I can even pick it up"
"Right?!"
"But two isn't too much for us?"

The announcement continued with it's direction towards the students

"We will go with the 9th graders first"

All the nineth graders stood in two lines, boys in the left and girls in the right, just like a call of the army.

The throwings were done, and the results were:

"Girls have a ratio of three meters and twenty centimeters and the boys have a ratio of six meters"


After hearing the girl's results, the girls continued their girl talk, wandering about their results.

"Five meters (smiles fades away) oh man, I'm not that good"
"A girl almost threw more than you, Gigi"
The other's surrounding them laughed at him
"C'mon man, don't be like that"

"Next year, you weaklings"
Said a student proudly, while showing off his muscles from his left arm, with a loud smirk on his face

"Momo... 1 meter."

Momo's face fell down, out of shame after hearing his results out loud and walked back towards his group, with the laughs of his classmates covering the background.

"Next, the tenth graders"

Every girl from the tenth grade threw the ball, but not all of the girls, some of them sat down on the bench and thought to themselves that it would be the best to just look.

"Girls have a ratio of three meters and ninety centimeters and the boys..."

It was the turn for the boys.  Everyone had thrown the ball, everyone except the tall ones, Jang, Matheo, K and three more students.

Kallisto had thrown the ball first, with a quick spin for momentum creation, smart move if you're asking me.

"Kallisto, with forty one meters!"

The whole school yard went crazy, even the boys, cheering for him like school girls
"FORTY?!!"
"My shoulder almost broke down from hitting seven, but I can't imagine forty, wow."

"Forty meters, not too shaby, not too shaby, this is a highest record for this year, but let's see the next candidate, please applaud Guy Toppan"

After a small portions of applauses, Guy thought to himself, in the silence of the place.
"Mother, father, friends, this one is for you!"
Throwing the ball with a lead of three meters while charging the ball with his right hand to throw.

"Let's see let's see... (balls drops down) oooh, forty seven meters, wow, maybe we have to get to the race track for the next candidates (chuckles softly)"

Some of the boys and girls chuckled loudly, applauding for Guy's sudden achievement.
The next contestant was Matheo.

Matheo  stepped four meters behind him then he took a large lead of five steps in front of him, the next one larger than the last one, rotating his whole body, his shoulder's blade movement was perfect, his muscles contracted like he was picking up boulders, his body was like a sculpture

"Matheo with... fifty meters!"

The acclaims were louder for him, but the voices were on a pinch lower.
"Woooh, seventy meters?!"
"I think I'm dreaming (rubs eyes)
"How can he throw so much weight like that"
"I can't even compare"

An unkown pale orange hair boy was up. He looked around and saw the large crowd that was watching him. Giving away a slight chuckle, he prepared himself on the white drawn line from the ground

He threw the ball not moving from his spot and not rotating his body, only lifting his arm and throwing it.

"Mikey with... ten meters"

The students murmured with each other, looking at Mikey with shocked and pale faces, just like some stone figures.
"Wo-whoa, he didn't even move, did you see?"
"10's too low, that's almost nothing"
"What about that Guy, man?"
"He's good, but-"

Mikey muffled a few words under his dark-grey scarf that was placed on his face, covering a part of his nose and the whole low-part of his face.

It slipped, no, wait, I saw the band of air that was created  under the ball, right when he threw the ball, it was like a whip made out pure leather, the amount of pressure that was at the tip of it made dust out of particles of thin air, the agility was insane, it was so intense it could create a hole in a tree.

"Next contestant, Johan, Mikey's brother, give him a round of applause!"

"I shouldn't stress that much for this, I don't want to evidence myself too much"
Whispered Johan, going towards the starting point where the throwing part should have been done.

He threw the ball really high but in one place as it was falling down, Johan flexed his thumb using his index finger like he would toss a coin. Right before the moment of impact, he released his thumb from it's inner pressure, making the small ball float a few meters.

"Johan with four meters, but with an unique style!"

"He just pushed it with his flexed index finger, how is that possible, he used his thumb to create tension in the index finger, making it fall flat and then sky rocket somehow applause, but let's watch the stars, maybe we'll see his ball there, am I right?" 
Whispered Jang, curiously, but with a hint of shock in his eyebrows.

"Now please applause our last student from the tenth grade, Myeon Jong!"

But there was no round of applause for Jang, it looked like everyone was watching him carefuly, knowing that he will do something odd, but good.

Jang threw the ball, not flexing his back and shoulder, he tried to throw it normally, from one spot, just like a normal person, he tried to not show even a pinch of his power.

"Myeon Jong with forty meters!"

All the girls acclaimed for him, the boys too, with a "whoo-ing", having lots of joy in their voices.
"Ooh, my hips, I'm getting hold (pushes back inwards with his palms and grunts softly)"

"That was a good one, Jong, don't stress it, the ball is tough too"
Replied Matheo, making a balance with his palms, playing with them.
"Yeah, I almost broke my finger throwing it that hard!"
Said Guy, showing his bent finger to Jang

It was time for the twelve graders to throw the ball

"The girls with a throwing ratio of nine meters and the boys... (reads off a piece of paper, more carefuly)  have a ratio of forty nine meters!"

The ten and ninth graders gossiped again after their throwing
"Forty nine meters?"
"How is all of these guys so strong?"
"That's gym for you, I guess"
"(Chuckles evilly), that's right man (kissed both bicepses), take that!"
Screamed Byeok out loud.

"With this, the second game ends, the third activity of this year will be Tug o'war, stay tuned. Please gather in the school's yard in thirty minutes for the next activity!"

The students started talking between them and gossiping and mockingly crying about themselves
"Oof dude, my legs are so sore from the last two games"
"You can still feel them, I want to be in your shoes right now"
Jang stood in the middle of them and tried to eye out Johan and Mikey, searching for them, but suddenly a girl quietly called out his name, a girl that was right near him.

"J-Jon..g"

She tried again, but the other student's voices covered her voice, beginning to stuff her own small voice in the messy yard of the constant overreacting continous voices

"J-jong..."

He still didn't hear nothing, his ears covered by the surrounding voices, so she tried another resort called screaming.

"JONG!"

She scared Jang so bad and made the other students stop talking and to look at her.

She looked at other students shoes and legs because she couldn't pick her sight up out of shame, the reason she grabbed Jang by his sleeve and pulled him out, towards the back of the school"

"Woah, wait a minute... do I know you?"
Continued Jang, confused, still being gently dragged by the girl

Before Jang said anything else, she wanted to take some words off of her chest, but her throat just wouldn't let her take the words out.

"My name is Hyoy Soe and I-I am in l-"
"Hyoy, that's a cool name!"
Both of them arrived behind the school where the shadow dominated the warm light of the sun

Hyoy forced herself to look into Jang's eyes, succeded for a few seconds, then she started filming the ground with her eyes again

"Jong, y-you know, in a relationship, there is a boy (shows left palm, like a small table), and a girl (shows the other palm)"

Hyoy was a short stature girl, with short black hair and black baggy clothes, but she had a pale blue line in her hair, which was evidencing dark blue eyes.

"Jong, I was searching for you man, where did you go--(looks at Hyoy, then looks at Jang).. alright (points behind him with the back of his thumb) I will be back to call you when the game starts. I can see that you are occupied with...  (looks at Hyoy, looks back at Jang and smiles) something, but take these, for refreshement.
Matheo handed Jang two bottles of water and two packs of crackers.

"Nono..nono, Matheo it's not what it looks like"
Said Jang agitated while waving his arms around in sign of forfeit.

But Matheo had already left, more in a hurry.

"What were you saying?"
Asked Jang, huffing his breath, while opening the pack of crackers

"I-It doesn't matter, I will tell you later"
Hyoy took something out her hoodie's pocket and gave it to Jang with both of her hands

"Woooah, a bracelet (looks at it carefuly), thanks, Hyoy!"

The bracelet was really thin, but it had two tiny, cute, steel bears, both of them holding a little colored star, it was really cute.

Hyoy blushed naturally from the way Jang had reacted to her gift, and her eyes were wide like the seas after hearing Jang's thanks.

Jang put a cracker on his mouth, starting to chew half of it, while opening the water bottle with one hand and offering the liquid inside it to Hyoy

She happily took Jang's gesture even if she wasn't that thirty and drank half the bottle
"Woah (chuckles) you sure were thirsty"

"(Wipes small portions of water from her mouth with her sleeve) What I wanted to say is... (looks into Jang's eyes) that I'm in l-..."

The end of her phrase was interrupted by the next announcement for next game that was coming up, and information.

"Players, the next game is starting in five minutes!"

"Hear that Hyoy, come, we have to go!"
Jang took a cracker and put it into Hyoy's mouth, making her confused and blushing, taking her hand, both of them hurrying to the school yard for the next game.
Everyone gathered there. The school yard was not actually filled with students, but because the majority was spread out, it made it look like it was full.

"For the next game please place yourself in a team with five others. The rules are simple, each team will take a hold on the large rope, the team that drags the other team while holding the rope to their side, wins!"

"Pf, this is nothing, Harmon, K, Marcello, Lisa-Lisa, Guy, come with me... this is going to be interesting"

Byeok took K and Guy, our strongest leads, this is going to be tough... but I have an idea.

"Hyoy, Matheo and you three (poins at three random students) come with me"

"If they use brute strenght, maybe we can use brute movement and intelligence, this is our only chance"
Whispered Jang to himself

"Round 1, leader Byeok versus leader Nosta, class 12 A versus class 12 B"

Byeok and his team destroyed the first round, even making a student fall on his arm and break it

"Take him to the infirmary, make sure he gets home safe"

After a short break in sentences

"Now, Round 2, leader Byeok versus leader Ethan, class class 12 A versus class 12 C"

"Winner, Byeok"

"Round 3, leader Byeok versus leader Jo, class 12 A versus class 12 E"

"Winner, Byeok"

"Round 4, leader Jong, versus leader Kai, class 10 A, versus class 11 B"

"Winner, Myeon Jong"

"Round 5, leader Jong versus leader Mee, class 10 A, versus class 11 C"

"Winner, Myeon Jong"


"Final round, leader, Jong versus leader Byeok, start!"

"PULL, PULL, PULL, PULL, WAIT... PULL!"
Screamed Byeok, covering his teammate's voices.
How is he that strong, my plan was perfect, but still, he is just dragging the rope, it's just strengh... maybe if we just...
"Lemon grass one-two-two-one!"
"The move from the cartoon?"
Asked everyone from Jang's team in unison, confused.

Jang looked over his shoulders, making sure everyone is set up for the winning move.
It's on.

"ONE, TWO, ONE-"

Exclaimed Jang's team in total unison, matching each other's voices.
Lemon grass was the code for the technique, so we can confuse the other enemy team. One-two is Pull-Let the rope, pull, release the rope, pull, relesase the rope, no one can accomodate to such a movement in such a short time, only our team, Byeok... not so much
Jang's team rearranged themselves mid-pulling by Byeok, sitting a student on the left a student on the right.
While Byeok's team constantly pulled the rope and since the tension is too strong, Jang's team let the rope go fully, making Byeok fall on his team, with everyone down on the ground, Jang's team rapidly pulled the rope, becoming the winners.

"Two-one-one should be enough for this"

Whispered Jang to himself, looking up at the sky, then quickly changing his sight at the ground, thinking.
Jang high fived everyone in his team, with a smile on his face and doing a cool handshake with Matheo and fist-bumping Hyoy
Jang's gesture amazed Hyoy, she did not expect that kind of gesture from him, but she it did not bother her, she liked it

"Winners of the third game of this year, "Tug o'wars" is Myeon Jong and his team!"

"That's riiiiiight!"
Exclaimed Matheo, jumping on everyone with a loud and joyful face while hyping them up after taking the big win for the game.

Maybe we were lucky with this one, since Byeok played too, ninth and elventh graders didn't want to play. Only  some twelve graders, including Byeok and his team and the tenth graders, including us. they already knew how strong is he, only his stature and his full physique, the hardened fat combined with muscle, no kidding he looks like a gang leader. But with his scary looking we succeded in taking the W for this game

Jang Ho always helped everyone in need, even if he was wasting his time, being late to classes or just helping an old lady cross the street.
One night when he went to do some cardio outside, he saw something really bright in the sky coming directly towards him, it was a STAR, big as a planet. In a blink moment, the star crushed him, falling right on him, creating a big crater.
That night, Jang Ho became someone else... or something else.
