Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 82

A few days had passed since then, and I had been spending my time training in sports. What I realized was that I was terrible at ball games.

Thanks to my body, running and jumping were no problem, but since I had never done it before, I couldn’t manage to handle the ball well.

On the first day of training, the ball flew in completely the wrong direction, and I almost killed Minya by messing up the strength of my shots. It was tough, but with the training, I had improved a bit.

Now, I was practicing penalty kicks in soccer. At first, the ball went in all the wrong directions, but now, every once in a while, it actually went into the goal.

“Looking good, Kingil! You’re doing great! Keep that feeling and don’t forget it!”

“Yes!”

Minya called out to me as if she were the coach.

“Kingil, let’s take a short break.”

“Okay.”

Minya handed me a drink, and I took it, drinking it down with a satisfying gulp.

“Kingil, you look like you’re having fun.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes, you seem so lively, or maybe even excited… Anyway, it’s clear you’re enjoying yourself.”

“I’ve always kind of longed for this, or maybe just wanted to give it a go…”

In my previous life, I never had the chance to join any clubs, so I was happy to be doing something similar.

“Okay, let’s get started!”

“Ah, yes!”

I continued my training after that.

Then, after a few days…

“Is it time to decide our events?”

After training, I asked this to Nyadal.

“Yes, as I mentioned before, the representatives decide the events, but since it’s just the two of us now, we need to choose five events out of the ten.”

“Right, I forgot.”

I was having so much fun with the training that I honestly forgot.

“That being said, what should we pick?”

I asked Minya.

“Hmm, well, even though you’ve gotten a bit better through training, you’re still far from being good at ball games…”

“Yeah, I figured as much.”

I’d already suspected as much.

“Let’s choose events that aren’t ball games.”

“Speaking of which, what kind of events does Leia usually pick?”

Out of curiosity, I asked.

“Leia picks different events every year, so we can’t predict what she’ll choose. Sometimes she picks ball games, and other times she chooses non-ball events.”

However, Minya prefaced it by saying,

“Her strength in any event is overwhelming!”

“Hmm.”

(Yeah, I guess so.)

“Can it be any kind of sport?”

“As long as the opponent agrees, anything goes.”

“Well then…”

I decided on five events and wrote them down on paper.

“Interesting.”

Nyadal looked at the content written on the paper, where there were five events listed: race, high jump, shot put, weightlifting, and sumo.

“What is this sumo event?”

“Ah, sumo is…”

When Nyadal asked, I explained the rules of sumo.

“I see. I think that event can be accepted.”

“That’s good.”

(I used to watch sumo on TV quite often.)

“Alright, let’s go with these events.”

“Yes!”

Having decided on the events, I resumed training, including for the five chosen events.
