HTSAAL-TI [Season 1-3] [Mini novel]

Season 1. 29

Chapter 29

I felt my head about to hit the floor.

"Kyaaak!"

A scream of shock erupted from the audience. I covered my head and rolled over.

'My face almost got split.'

The remaining two contestants quickly passed by. If this continues, I'll be in 4th place, a non-medal position. I let out a short breath and immediately got up and started running again.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness! He rolled over and got up right away and started running again! Kwon Yoo-hyun, you have incredible reaction speed!!"

The MC's noisy commentary continued.

The distance had already widened considerably. It was no longer time to take it easy.

I gritted my teeth and ran, but overtaking wasn't easy. As we reached the course where the corner was being turned, all the contestants were running in lane 1. I quickly caught up to the 3rd place, but I couldn't see any gap.

'...If I keep going like this, I'll be late?'

After a brief thought, I moved to lane 2 and increased my speed.

"Ah, Kwon Yoo-hyun!! When he can't see any gaps, he's trying to overtake by making even bigger turns!"

"The moment I say that, he had caught up with 3rd place! It's a comeback!!"

At this rate, the success of the daily quest is certain. Now all that's left is the straight course.

'It's a shame to end like this.'

Yoon Ji-yoon was running alongside 2nd place, perhaps because his shoes came off and his speed had slowed down.

I bent my upper body and diligently rolled my feet. The backs of the two heads quickly came closer.

I took a deep breath, held my breath, and made my last sprint.

Just beat out second place.

"Waaaaaaah!!"

I crossed the finish line, brushing shoulders with 1st place.

"Reverse!! Front!! Extreme!! Kwon Yoo-hyun, narrowly won first place!! A drama unfolded here at ISC Field!!"

"Today's 400m relay gold medal goes to the M-8 team!"

[Daily Quest Success!]

[You succeeded in winning a medal in the <Idol Sports Competition> program!]

[4/4 Medals]

The sound of firecrackers exploding and the cheering of the crowd mixed loudly in the system.

The members running towards me with their faces turned pale, and Choi Sung-jun giving a fierce back smash.

Today's daily quest ended with quite a raucous celebration.

***

The members who I thought were running to congratulate me started complaining as a group.

And the medical support team that was dragged away. They were finally able to be released only after it was confirmed that I was fine except for light bruises.

"Are you really okay?!"

"Yeah. How many times do you have to ask me this?"

"How can I believe that it's okay when you have a record?"

It was because of the penalty added to the surprise quest at that time.

I waved my hand roughly while holding the straw of my takeout coffee and shooed Kim Eden away.
