Novel Full Chapter 441 Challenge Accepted 2
"Welcome sirs..... are you participants or observers?"
"_"
At the forefront of the crowd, were several staffers.... who were there to record names and give out badges.
"Sirs.... participants or observers?" Asked a 17-year-old staff.
"Participants!" They said in unison.
"Alright... may I ask for your names?"
"Danver Wallace."
"Ibrahim Myi."
"Hmhm..... Here are your participant badges for the entire 3-week event.
Make sure you don't loose them..... and good luck."
"Thank you." They replied while taking the badges from the lady.
Immediately, they placed it around their necks and made their way in.
The bases on their necks were red and large written numbers printed on them.
Of course for observers, their badges were blue instead.
This was the only way that those organizing the event would be able to do their jobs properly.
.
Walking in, Danver and Ibrahim had already noticed the place was organized into different world record categories.... sports \u0026 strength, human body, food, so on.
So without any delays, they quickly made their way towards the Sports \u0026 Strength section.
"Yahhh!"
"Yahhhh!!"
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!!!!!!"
The entire place was filled with people competing with each other, as well as several others watching and cheering the participants on.
On one corner, they could see someone trying to break the world record that was already set last year.... for the most pull-ups.
And in another corner, they could also see someone set a record for the highest jump as well.
In short, so many people had come on over to showcase their strength today.
"Ahh.... bro.... check out that guys muscles!
Damn!
How did he do it?
Is this the bodybuilder thing that they're talking about?"
"Focus Ibrahim!
We are here to set our own records, and not to watch become observers."
"Right!"
"Although I must admit..... that guy's muscles are truly extraordinary," Danver said while looking at the man's arms in awe as well.
He himself wanted to observe the participants more as well, but now was not the time.
It was better to participate now... and then watch the other participants later.
With that, both of them went over to one of the signing up stations in the room and registered what they wanted to challenge as well.
"So bro.... what do you want to challenge today"
"Hand jumps"
"_"
.
Danver waited for over 2 hours before it was finally his turn to participate.
"Ladies and gentlemen... last year, the champion for the most hand jumps... was Mr. Tonio Dwone.
He had made a total of 31 hand jumps without falling or touching the floor.
And now.... someone has come for his title.
Someone has come to challenge his score.
Well, will we have a new world record breaker in our midst?
Will he be able to beat Mr. Tonio's score?
Will he be our new champion?
All this will be answered by the man himself.
Now, let's give it up for contestant 325... Mr. Danver Wallace!!!!"
"Wooooooooowwwwww!"
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'
The people clapped..... and Danver made his way towards the host, while smiling and waving sheepishly.
In his mind, he had succeeded in hiding today's event from his wife.
But how could he have known that the BBC sports channel would send its people over here?
His wife who was currently on her break, so at out a mouth full of juice all over her coworkers face when she heard his name.
She coughed and coughed from almost choking on her juice, as she continued to listen to the radio.
"Kally... what's wrong with you?"
"Sorry... I thought..... I thought that I heard my husband's name on the radio.
But that's impossible right?"
"_"
.
Danver dusted his hands with chalk and got ready to take his stance.
Ever since he was little, he had always been able to do hand jumps.
It started out as a fun game with his friends back in Deiferus, as they used to run with their hands as entertainment instead.
And later on, they eventually made it tougher by doing hand jumps and so on.
Danver felt like children in his son's generation would never know about the good old days of just playing with sticks, stones and mud by the streams.
Now, children played with basketballs, footballs, toys and even something that they call hula hoops.
Yup!
They were spoiled alright!
.
Anyway, even though Danver hadn't done hand jumps for over 6 years.... he still felt pretty confident in himself... so he didn't feel like practicing before the event at all.
"Woooooowwwwwww!!!!!'
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
The crowd applauded him and cheered on the skinny man before them.
"Alright!.... alright!.... alright!!!!
Mr. Danver, ready when you are!" The host said.
And with that, Danver immediately got on his hands and centred himself first before beginning the jump.
'Pam!'
'1!!!'
'Pam!'
'2!!!....3!!!!.....4....!!!!'
As Danver continued, the crowd became extremely hyped from it all.
Some people wat had intently, so that they could learn a few tips and tricks.... and come back later to challenge the same title again.
.
The countdown continued, as soon... Denver was starting to feel the pain in his arms.
He began to tremble with every jump, as sweat slowly trickled onto his face.
His arms and face were as red as a baboon's butt, and his breathing soon became hoarse.
Dammit!
Why didn't he practice, prepare or at least train his stamina before the competition?
He was extremely vexed and angry at himself for overestimating his capabilities.
Because bottom line, he was now 26 years old... and was no longer that 7-year-old kid who could do many hand jumps without practice.
He quickly realized that if he wanted to do it better, he would have to train for it, just as how the other competitors in the room trained for it as well.
F***!!
"29!....30!.....31!!!!!"
"Ahh... he's now at last year's champion's score.!!!"
"32!....33!.....34!...35!!!!"
"He did it!"
"35!!!"
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'
'Woooooooow!!!'
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'
"Well done Champ!"
"Way to go!"
"That's my friend!
That's my friend!
Bro... tell them that I'm your friend!"
