Wendy's expression had completely turned into the "Old man on the subway staring at his phone" meme.
A wheelchair race?
How on earth did such an abstract competition even come into existence?
Cheese Rolling Competition: Yeah, a wheelchair race is just too abstract.
Chess Boxing: How the fuck can anyone race in a wheelchair?
Oil Barrel Racing: Right? Sitting in a wheelchair is just too stupid.
Wendy covered her forehead and looked at the crowd of participants who were all too eager to cause trouble. She felt like all of them had gone mad.
Who would participate in a competition like this?
"So, Wendy, this is the surprise I prepared for you! Aren't you incredibly excited?"
Mo Wang, behind Wendy, said to her with a proud expression.
"This can't be called a surprise anymore, it's a fright, isn't it? Captain."
Wendy really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Can't a normal person just step up and stop this?!
"That's enough!"
Just then, a Valkyrie standing next to Wendy stared at the competition venue with an annoyed expression.
"How can a competition like this be held at a time like this! I absolutely disagree!"
Hearing this Valkyrie's words, Wendy's eyes lit up.
Could it be that a normal person was finally going to stand up?!
However, just as Wendy was beginning to feel a glimmer of hope, she heard the Valkyrie shout angrily, "Why is such an interesting competition being held without my knowledge?! I didn't even have time to prepare a wheelchair! This is unfair! This is unfair!"
Hearing this, the light that had just begun to shine in Wendy's eyes was instantly swallowed by a black hole.
At this moment, she had completely lost all hope for this world.
This world should just be destroyed.
I'm tired. There's no hope.
At this moment, Wendy felt as if the world had completely fallen into darkness.
She felt like she was on the verge of turning into a Herrscher.
"Ahem!"
Just then, a cough brought Wendy's thoughts back to reality.
A sexy and hot Valkyrie was now on the stage, holding a microphone and bouncing up and down as she walked on.
"Welcome, all Valkyries, researchers, doctors, lazy bums who are just wandering around, disabled people who have difficulty walking, and all you troublemakers who aren't disabled but just want to have fun! Welcome to the First Oceania Branch Wheelchair Racing Competition!"
As soon as the host's voice fell, a wave of cheers erupted from the audience.
"Alright, alright! I know all you wheelchair racers are very excited right now. But now I have to introduce some of the rules and prizes. And by the way, I'd like to thank the Oceania Branch for their strong support for this event. And the sponsor of the prizes for this event! The captain of the Hyperion, Lord Mo Wang!"
As the gazes of the Valkyries turned to him, Mo Wang walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.
"Huh?"
Wendy turned her head in a daze and looked behind her.
She found that Mo Wang, who had been standing next to her, had disappeared at some point.
"When did he go up there?"
Wendy covered her mouth. Why hadn't she felt Mo Wang leave just now?
"Thank you, Captain Mo Wang, for organizing and sponsoring this event! The winner of this competition will receive a set of autographs from the academy idol, Theresa! The second prize is a year's supply of Want Want Gift Packs! And the third prize is a three-day trip to St. Freya!"
As soon as the prizes were announced, the cheers from the audience grew even louder.
"This is great! Lady Theresa's autograph will be mine!"
"St. Freya! I must go to St. Freya!"
"What's a year's supply of Want Want Gift Packs? I don't care what it is, I want it all!"
Faced with the cheers from all around, Wendy's face was expressionless.
She felt that there was nothing strange that could shake her heart now.
And, why was the grand prize the Principal's autograph? What was this "academy idol" thing?
"While we thank the Captain for his sponsorship, let's not forget to thank the leaders of our Oceania Branch!"
"Now, allow me to introduce to you, behind me, the warrior of the Schariac family! The pride of our Oceania Branch! Miss Ana Schariac!"
At this moment, the audience's applause was like a tidal wave.
"And! The director of our Oceania Branch!"
At this moment, the audience below the stage was stunned.
"And! The leaders of the XXX departments!"
Audience: (—`′—)
Was it just their imagination?
These leaders seemed to be injured?
They could even see bandages...
Were they... beaten up by someone?
The leaders of the Oceania Branch, who were being introduced, looked at Ana with a strange expression.
And Ana, in turn, turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look at the high-ranking officials of the branch.
She felt that if she looked at them, the guilt in her heart would erupt all at once.
What? You want to know how these high-ranking officials got injured?
Don't ask.
The official story is that it was too dark last night and they fell down the stairs.
It definitely had nothing to do with a certain Schicksal captain.
"Ahem!"
In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, Mo Wang coughed lightly.
Then, a group of branch high-ranking officials quickly started to applaud with joyful expressions.
And the audience below the stage followed suit.
"It seems that the leaders are also very happy about this competition."
Seeing that the atmosphere was lively again, the host smiled at the branch high-ranking officials.
And at this moment, the branch high-ranking officials, who were already on the verge of tears, were completely broken by this host.
Pah! Which eye of yours sees that we are happy?
Don't you see our injuries?
You guys have no idea what they went through last night.
This demon! He... he! He's not human!
They had never seen such a brutal captain!
Of course, these people only dared to say this in their hearts.
Mo Wang was still watching them from the side.
They hadn't lived long enough yet.
"Alright, alright! Everyone, don't get so excited!"
"I know you all can't wait to race across the grasslands in your wheelchairs!"
"There are no restrictions in this competition! Contestants can compete in any way they want. They just have to use a wheelchair."
"First, let's welcome our number one seed! Miss Wendy!"
Wendy, who was watching the show on the sidelines, was suddenly enveloped in a beam of light that came from nowhere.
Hearing the host call her name, Wendy was still stunned.
"What... what a coincidence. I didn't expect there to be someone named Wendy in New Zealand..."
Looking at the light shining on her, Wendy silently retreated.
"Don't hide, young lady! It's you! Get on the field with me!"
And just then, Mo Wang appeared out of nowhere again and directly pushed Wendy's wheelchair onto the field.
"Huh? No, no way? I'm in a wheelchair race? For real?"
Seeing that Mo Wang was really going to put her on the field, Wendy immediately started to resist.
"You want to back out now? It's too late! I've already signed you up! Hahahahaha!"
"YAMERO!"
At this moment, the pitiful beautiful girl Wendy was directly dragged onto the competition field by the great demon king Mo Wang.
And as a saintess, Ana could only silently pray for Wendy on the stage.
