Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 338

As a result.

‘It’s not like I can see the lines or anything.’

There wasn’t any special effect like in a manga.

If I had to put it into words, it was more like I gained the sense that I could draw those lines at will?

The one thing that was clear was that even if I couldn’t see the lines,

I could perform everything else at 100%.

‘My ankle flexibility’s increased absurdly.’

How should I describe this?

Like I gained a few extra joints and ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a more refined sense of control?

Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I got an app-based talent, but it feels kind of new.

Thud!

The spikes on the football cleats dug into the ground.

And in that moment, my body felt light, like I was floating.

It was like entering zero gravity for a brief second.

The harder you push off, the more powerfully you can move forward.

So I stomped hard enough to leave a deep mark on the ground.

Whoosh!

I launched forward just like that.

My body, which already soared during the Olympics thanks to its ridiculous physical abilities,

Was now evolving once more—this time, to run on the NFL field.

‘Come to think of it, they said the match would be run in a pretty simplified format.’

If I had to explain it, the rules were technically flag football,

But the game content itself was played more like real football... I guess?

Like mini-football?

‘To run a proper game, each team would need a 48-person roster minimum, and that’s just impossible.’

Eleven offense, eleven defense is just the start.

And you need at least two backup players per position in American football.

But when were they going to recruit that many celebrities?

Even if they somehow managed to gather them all, there’d be no way to showcase everyone during an event match.

So playing it in a simplified format was the most effective approach.

Where all 11 players had to take on both offense and defense.

Naturally, that meant the game time would have to be shorter.

Which led, inevitably, to the mini-football format.

Originally, I think they really wanted to do it properly.

But if they did, the Super Bowl itself would end up getting overshadowed.

MatchTo contacted me directly and told me this was the most reasonable solution.

‘Well, I don’t care either way, as long as I get to play.’

In any case, what I needed to focus on now—

Was the practice for the Super Bowl that was about four weeks away.

If it were up to me, I’d like to practice with the people who ended up on my team.

That would be the most efficient way.

But unfortunately, the team hadn’t been announced yet.

You can’t really do anything until you know who your teammates are.

“Donghu! Donghu!”

“Yes?”

“They just contacted us! The teams have been decided!”

“Oh, really?”

And then, perfect timing—the team assignment news came in.

But Seokho hyung, who brought the news, didn’t look happy at all.

Normally, that meant one of two things.

Either he needed to take a dump—

Or—

‘Something unfair happened to me.’

But it didn’t make sense for something unfair to happen just because of the team assignments.

So maybe it was the former?

I guess I really do have too much free time these days—thinking about nonsense like this.

While I was having those pointless thoughts, I waited for Seokho hyung to walk over.

“The, the team! Isn’t this totally messed up?! It’s basically sabotage!”

Seokho hyung stormed over and held out the team list, face filled with rage.

“There’s way too few experienced players on our side! Isn’t this totally unfair?!”

Sure enough, looking at the two teams split into 11 players each—

Our team had significantly fewer people with football experience.

The other team had 10 out of 11 players with American football experience.

Our team had only 4 out of 11—including me.

And even I wasn’t really experienced.

And those 4? None of them had played all that long, either.

“Anyone can see this is malicious. I mean, seriously... Just to beat you, they’re pulling this shit?!”

Normally I’d be stunned and furious too.

But since Seokho hyung was getting mad enough for the both of us, I found myself staying calm instead.

Also, there were some very familiar names on the list—names I couldn’t ignore.

“For an event match, Kade’s on the other team?”

“Exactly! And that’s insane! The guy has to play in the Super Bowl tomorrow, so why’s he even in the event match?!”

How does that make sense? Why would his team even allow it?!

Why would an active pro willingly show up in an exhibition match?!

And even if he did show up, shouldn’t he be put on our team to balance it out?! Why’d they stick him on the other team, huh?! Should I file a formal complaint?! Should I really do it?!

If this were a manga, this would’ve taken up a full two-page spread.

“Hyung, please calm down. Your face is completely red right now.”

After calming Seokho hyung down—

“But it’s too late to complain now, isn’t it? Only four weeks left, and practice’ll eat up time.”

“No, still... I really think someone needs to yell about this, seriously. Donghu! This is too intentional!”

I analyzed the situation calmly.

To be honest, the imbalance really was unfair enough to argue over.

But I also thought... maybe this could be a good opportunity.

‘Every sport I’ve played until now has been a solo competition.’

So how far could I take a team game—on my own strength?

‘Since it’s just an exhibition match anyway, this is the perfect testbed for something like that.’

And also, there was one name on my team I found extremely unfamiliar.

Natalie Beltman.

A strange person.

I couldn’t exactly define how she was strange.

But even though it was our first meeting, she felt oddly familiar?

The way she looked at me so directly—so upright.

There was a strong sense of purpose.

And yet she managed to hide it completely, which was impressive.

‘I mean... I did end up noticing, so now I’m suspicious of her.’

That’s also part of why I didn’t object to the team assignment.

I was genuinely curious what her goal was.

If she just wanted to seduce me, she’d have tried something already—
