Collecting the Male Leads’ First Nights - Chapter 70

Chapter 70

‘I’ll make you gather those cheeky hands in a polite manner and beg me.’

As Sylvia stepped forward, one of the villagers that was tied up saw her and shouted in surprise.

“Huh? It’s a person! Please help us! I absolutely do not want to wear a turban.”

As he cried out, the other villagers began to talk noisily.

“We have to get out of here! I have a fur allergy!!”
“Hey! Shut up!”

The foxes standing behind them threatened them with a grim look as they riled up into a horde. The villagers, who had reluctantly closed their mouths when they saw the foxes’ threatening expressions, gazed at Sylvia with teary eyes, and her face distorted with pity.

“Hihihi! Soon, it will be fasting time, so if you become our congregation, you’ll have to starve for three days! Hahaha!”

‘Three days of starvation! How cruel is that!’

As the High Priest Fox giggled, Sylvia and the rest of the group covered their mouths with their hands and shook their heads in disapproval. After spatting out cruel words as if it was nothing, he giggled while he stroked his beard with his fuzzy front paws.

Up on stage, Sylvia looked at the group behind her and the villagers one after the other with a grim look. Cold sweat ran down her back.

‘The religious freedom of the villagers depends on my dancing skills… I’ll make it happen.’

But even as she climbed onto the stage, the dance competition didn’t start right away. The desert foxes placed Sylvia behind the stage like a borrowed barley bag, and began the conversion ceremony.

‘What kind of bullsh*t is this?’

Sylvia questioned the foxes as they walked up and down the stage, but no one paid attention to her. They were treating her like she was completely invisible. With Sylvia behind the stage, the foxes wearing clothes that looked like curtains sang a grand choir for the first time, followed by a tedious sermon, similar to the principal’s speech, along with the High Priest Fox’s confession of faith.

“Mmph!”
“Mmph, mmph!”

The villagers twisted their bodies in agony, and Sylvia shuddered at the meanness of the High Priest Fox, who told her to come up on the stage while not having the intention of having the dance contest right away.

‘If you ask someone to come up, you should have the dance battle right away. What is he doing?’

Leaving her behind the stage… It was the perfect way to demoralize his opponent and make her feel looked down on.

“What a touching three-hour sermon, given to us by the Reverend. Ah! How inspiring this is.”

The host fox stood on the left side of the stage and raised both hands with an emotional expression, but the audience was quiet. Everyone’s eyes turned upside down, seemingly on the verge of passing out, because of the long, torturing sermon.

‘Three hours? Sh*t… When are we going to have the contest?’

Because she had been standing up, her legs were starting to get numb. Eventually, the stage she had seen in the auditorium yesterday was set up. The High Priest Fox raised his finger with an arrogant expression and called out to Sylvia.
As Sylvia walked limply in front of the stage because her legs were numb and tingling, he pointed at her with either his nails or claws and laughed at her.

‘That bastard is acting cocky, not knowing my stats went up last night. I’ll show him my style and pull out that damn beard completely.’

As she stood next to the High Priest Fox, he raised his head and reached out his hand to Sylvia.

“I hope we have a good battle.”

‘So he wants a good battle. After leaving me standing there like a scarecrow…!’

Sylvia barely calmed down her anger and smiled. When she smiled as if it was nothing, the High Priest Fox was instantly astonished, letting out a “Huh?”

‘He thought I would get mad for leaving me behind the stage, but I’m someone who can control my emotions better than he thought.’

Smiling, Sylvia grabbed his fuzzy front paw.

“Same here.”

As she held his front paw and tightened her grip, the High Priest Fox hardened his expression and pulled back his trembling hand. Because she looked feminine, her grip, stronger than expected, surprised him. Sylvia sneered at his surprised expression.

‘If he’s surprised by this, will he pass out in astonishment when he sees me dance?’

The High Priest Fox, who was grumbling and shaking his hand for a moment, gave her the chance to choose a song. As she moved her foot and pressed the arrow, the screen of the tent changed. Even selecting the game mode with the arrow on the floor was the same system as the game in the arcade.

‘As expected of a game from a street vendor… Using the music as they wanted wasn’t enough, they even copied the game exactly how it was without changing it.’

They obviously must not have sought the copyright owner’s consent for both the music and the game. It was funny to think about this while being possessed, but Sylvia, who briefly clicked her tongue at the developer’s copyright awareness, carefully selected the song by pressing the arrow while looking at the screen above the tent that was set up beyond the stage.

Then she pressed the arrow several times to increase the difficulty of the game, and the High Priest Fox whistled as if she could handle it. The mode set by pressing the arrow continuously without giving any reaction was Nightmare mode. In other words, it was an extreme difficulty where one person used a two-person foothold in a crazy double mode that seemed crazy just by hearing the name.

While looking at the screen, the High Priest Fox looked at Sylvia with a slightly bewildered expression.

“Can you do this? Why don’t you quit your bravado and choose Easy Mode? When you lose, you shouldn’t be embarrassed in front of the villagers.”

At his words, Sylvia blew her bangs and rolled her tongue on her cheek. It was a cheeky pose for a head start.

“Shut your mouth and watch.”

At Sylvia’s words, the foxes beneath the stage booed, but she didn’t care. The music she picked was Beethoven Virus, which she had practiced yesterday. After making the choice, the orchestra that was at the bottom of the stage began to play.

‘Why do I have to choose the song using the arrows if they’re playing anyway?’

Not knowing how to handle the insanely fast music speed, the body of the conductor fox holding the baton swayed like a loose balloon in the wind.

‘The skill should work well.’

The moment the arrows began to rise up on the screen, Sylvia used her skill.

———————————————

[Used the skill Hands Faster than Eyes. During five minutes, your body becomes so fast that ordinary people can’t keep up with it.]

———————————————

Dadadadadan—

With the insanely fast pace of the music, Sylvia’s dance, or rather, her eccentricity, began.

Why eccentricity? Because Sylvia was not a human at that moment. She was just a dancing machine in itself. On the screen, the arrows were rising at a speed that humans could not follow, but Sylvia was using her feet, hands, and even her head to handle the mad difficulty, following her body that was moving regardless of her will.

‘My body is very light, and on top of that, I’m using a skill, so everyone seems to be in slow motion except me.’

Saying she was handling it wasn’t enough; she danced while looking at the screen, and could watch the audience during the remaining time. Hands Faster than Eyes. It was a tremendous skill. Sylvia literally became the dancing king herself.

Headstand, break dance, tap dance, poppin’… and if that wasn’t enough, even hula dance. She snapped her arms violently, then quickly rolled her feet, then swung her body flexibly like flowing water again, and the people beneath the stage cheered like crazy at the sight of Sylvia pressing the arrows perfectly using countless dance moves.

“This is crazy!”
“Wow!!”

Not even the foxes, who were only looking at her with their mouths open wide, could stop the villagers from shouting excitedly.

“Is she really human? Isn’t she a mollusk?”
“Dear Lord… I’ve never seen anything like this in my whole life!”

Sylvia stepped frantically in the extensive double mode while using flashy dance moves at the same time, and everyone watching her was speechless. The High Priest Fox, who was waiting behind her, also looked at her in astonishment, forgetting for a moment that she was his opponent in the competition.

“Eek!”

Mesmerized by Sylvia’s fantastic dance, he whistled without realizing it, then gasped and closed his mouth.

Finally, the song was coming to an end.

Swish. Swoosh.

Sylvia’s body movements were so swift that she could hear the sound of the wind cutting through her body every time she moved.
Her dancing skills were so flashy that even the spectators were getting dizzy.

Doing the windmill and even the airtrack, Sylvia showed her world-class skills, enough to slap 1,000 b-boys in the cheek. If someone had filmed her dance and uploaded it on You*ube, it would have gathered 100 million views in an instant.

Sylvia, who was in a headstand for the finishing move, began to turn her head following the arrows.

As she moved, she did 80 headspin turns, and not a single arrow was missed. It was a really nonsensical level. At the end of the 80 turns, steam was coming out of her head. Thanks to the skill Hands Faster than Eyes, Sylvia was able to think calmly while spinning her head like a spinning top.

It happened at a completely different dimension of time from the others, and at that moment Sylvia came to fully understand Einstein’s theory of relativity. Sylvia turned to contemplation, spinning her head with a blank face.

‘Is this what nirvana is like? At this moment of head spinning… I feel like I have become a free body that has thrown away all restraints.’

In the end, she successfully completed the 80 laps of headspin and cleared the crazy double mode perfectly by using her fist to hit the last arrow. The stage was literally torn apart.

Brrring…

———————————————

[Wow! Absolutely perfect!]

———————————————

After the sound of the score rising, the ‘SSS’ rank appeared on the screen with a magnificent background, and her surroundings became quiet in an instant.
There was silence for about two seconds, and at the same time as the High Priest Fox plopped to the floor, the square exploded with cheers.
