Gymnastics requires a lot of skills.
Creating a body with sufficient mobility isn’t an easy task to begin with.
But most of the playable characters in Inbl had bodies at an ideal level.
So with this body, I could train for high-difficulty moves without any problem.
“Let’s start with a handstand, using the ground as support.”
I set my position while explaining.
Standing tall in a handstand position with my legs together.
In my perfectly inverted view, I saw Sulbbang.
His head was slightly turned away.
He was clearly avoiding looking at me, and I frowned a bit.
Hey, I’m doing this because you told me to work hard!
“Don’t look away. If you can’t see, the viewers can’t see either, right?”
“Well, that’s true…”
– Pick up on it.
– Don’t talk nonsense.
– Sulbbang, if you mess around, I’ll take off my mask too, you know?
– Ugh, that jerk, tempting me again.
“Sorry. It’s nothing.”
Sulbbang diverted the topic.
If he had something to say, he could just say it.
He hesitated and finally turned his gaze toward me.
From his silence, it didn’t seem like it was anything important.
“This is the basic stage. Focus on my current posture. Don’t use momentum, just come up slowly.”
“……”
“Should I show you again? When you’re losing balance, think of tightening your core. And…”
In a virtual reality game, accidents don’t lead to injuries.
Absolute safety guaranteed by perfectly prepared bodies!
It’s not an exaggeration to say this is the best environment to experience high-difficulty movements.
Moreover, gymnastics has various disciplines.
It was nice to move my body in different environments.
Acrobatics on blades is based on a balance beam, and training on a vault, parallel bars, or rings often leads to using the surroundings well.
While maintaining my demonstration, I quickly checked the chat window.
More viewers started to try it out.
– It’s easier than I thought!
– Ah, f*, cancel that!
– I can see!
– Just did it, and it’s so frustrating!
– Getting up is easy, but holding it is hard!
– Black!
See? It’s not that easy after all.
You won’t even realize how it feels until you experience the movements of the body.
Just because they have great bodies doesn’t mean they can execute it like athletes right away.
Watching it quietly, I felt a bit proud.
The reactions were cute, and my lips began to naturally curve up.
I felt a bit giddy too.
Broadcasting turned out to be more fun than I expected.
It’s simply amazing that so many people listen to me and pay attention to me.
Before I knew it, the number of viewers had surpassed four digits.
“It’s not easy, so take it slow. Once you get used to it, try to stretch your legs out like this. It’s called a handstand split.”
“Hey, hey!”
“Hmm? Why do you keep interrupting me?”
“……Hmph, fine, do as you please.”
Maintaining a taut balance, I slowly moved my legs.
My right foot went forward, and my left foot went back. This way, my legs created a straight line.
Since I’m experienced, I could lift one arm in this position.
I could even walk on a balance beam, but unfortunately, this was just plain ground.
I only gently extended my arm forward and moved.
Sulbbang’s expression looked pretty dumbfounded.
It seemed my movements were quite mesmerizing to him.
Naturally, a smug smile spread across my face.
How about that? Impressive, right?
That’s how I felt when I first saw gymnastics athletes.
Seeing it in person, even in a game, is different.
When you go to the athlete’s village, you have the chance to meet athletes doing completely different sports.
From then on, I became interested and tried a bit of everything.
Fortunately, I had talent as well.
“Flexibility is enough, so it’s important not to get scared. After trying a bit… whoosh.”
Slowly rotating my legs that were split in front and behind,
I took a few steps and lightly jumped up.
There happened to be a suitable branch.
It wasn’t very uniform in thickness, which made it a little uncomfortable, but it was sturdy enough to pass.
I grabbed the branch, made a big circle, and flipped my body upside down in the air.
After showing a few more movements, I finally came down from the branch.
Thud.
Just as I landed stably, a donation came in.
「Fighting King Spanking has sponsored 100,000 won」
「Gawol, you’re really amazing! Can you do this pose too?」
「(attached photo)」
A whopping sum of money that could buy dozens of ramen packets!
And I really liked the content of the message.
Thanks to that, my motivation swelled.
Originally, enthusiasm tends to relate to money.
Checking the attached photo, it showed a pose where one leg is raised to create an I-shape.
It’s a pose I’ve never seen before! It’s a little different from a standing split.
Could this be a move from ballet?
I’ve never tried ballet myself.
Ballet seems too artistic, at least it’s not something I touched because it’s not my taste.
But being able to stand and split my legs like that seemed doable enough.
“It looks possible! I’ll give it a go right away.”
“Uh, uh….”
So the completion of the pose was to hold the raised leg with my arm, huh?
Once I grabbed my ankle with my arm, the pose became more stable.
I felt a nice stretch as my body seemed to extend.
But wasn’t what I showed earlier much harder?
– Gasp!
– What the f*?!
– Uheuheuheh…
Whatever the case, the reactions weren’t bad, so I guess it’s okay.
Well, if everyone likes it, it must be good.
People’s hearts are really something you can never fully understand.
「Hair Loss Medication Treatment has sponsored 30,000 won」
「Is it possible to try this too?」
「(attached photo)」
「Fighting King Spanking…」
Wait a minute. Taking some time to look back, it wasn’t just alright, it was pretty good!
Donations started to roll in one after another.
For the next move, I’d be doing a pose with my arms and chest on the ground while lifting my waist.
Isn’t this yoga too? In reality, I’d put a lot of pressure on my back doing this.
I think I could follow along, so I slowly lifted my butt.
“This should be easy. You’re underestimating me.”
“Wait, wait! Stop!”
“Why do you keep interrupting?”
“Do you even realize what you’re doing right now?”
What am I doing?
I’m just demonstrating a few poses, aren’t I?

Getting turned on while watching gymnastics or yoga moves isn’t a good thing.
Both are fundamentally sports or training methods for self-improvement.
If someone showcases an impressive pose, they should receive applause, not lustful looks.
So, I’m not the one who should be embarrassed here.
The ones who should feel shame are the pervs who zoomed in on my armpit photo from my handstand.
Probably the ones who typed things like, ‘I want to bury my face in Gawol’s butt crack’ while getting kicked out.
It’s incredibly rude to cast such lewd looks at an athlete.
It’s simply unimaginable.
It’s definitely not something I should be ashamed of.
Huff…
My rationality kept saying that.
Yet my fragile mind had already crumbled and fallen.
I felt so embarrassed I could just die.
My face was burning, and I couldn’t stand it without hiding it.
If I pulled back now, it felt like white steam would rise from my face.
There’s no need to be ashamed just because my body is a bit exposed this time.
I’ve had my outfit torn a few times in the arena, and typically, an assassin’s costume is quite revealing.
But this time, it felt different.
Back then, it was in the midst of a battle.
This time, it was me just getting carried away.
Also, looking at it all together, it seems sexy…
Gymnastics inevitably reveals the body’s lines.
And Gawol’s body was also a stunning beauty, even in my male eyes.
In the picture, I was stretching out while exposing my side chest and armpit.
My white skin and smooth curves were emphasized.
Expanding such a photo with explicit intent made it hard to look at with wholesome eyes.
If I feel this way, how must others feel?
I used to be male, I know this. This would likely last for quite a while.
Especially those photos exposing my legs and butt won’t leave people’s minds easily.
Gawol’s appearance was a slightly modified version of my reality, so it made me even more embarrassed.
After the broadcast ended, Sulbbang walked over to me, dragging his feet.
Now that I think of it, he seemed to have tried to stop me several times in between.
I just didn’t notice and kept going wild.
“Hey. The broadcast is off now, but do you want to delete the replay?”
“It’s fine…”
“Huh?”
“Just because it deletes doesn’t mean it’s gone. I felt good doing it, so if I delete that, it just feels like all the bad stuff is left.”
Occasionally, some people talk about loss in a cheerful way.
They accept terrifying situations as, ‘It wasn’t necessarily bad’ or ‘I learned something from it.’
Otherwise, it would simply be something they lost.
I couldn’t go that far yet…
But I could empathize a little.
The first time I became a main role in the broadcast was super enjoyable.
It wasn’t like before when I borrowed someone’s light for a brief moment.
I felt like I had something shining as well.
Could this also just be a sweet dream?
Still, it was nice. I wouldn’t have nightmares tonight.
Outside the game, Han Da-eun would still be beyond repair, but tonight at least I might sleep happily.
So this was a minor happening.
If a few crossed the line… I could just look them up by their game nickname later.
It’s such a simple problem.
Even if I endure my embarrassment, I want to leave evidence of this dream.
Ah, still, embarrassment is embarrassment.
“Haa…”
