Kurumu: Wh-Who are you!? And what are you talking about…?
?: Hello, my little brother. I came to watch the Athletics Carnival.
Fangfang: Big sister!
Gabriel: Oh shit, they are multiplying…
?: I am Huang Lingling. Thank you for always looking out for my brother. You don't need to treat me as your elder, I may look like this, but the truth is that I died from an illness long ago.
Gabriel: Welp, I guess you will be alright unless Gin will overlook necrophilia… 'And what do you mean by looking out for Fangfang? Did we ever do it?'
Meruem: '...No.'
Gabriel: 'Oh… Nevermind, then.'
Yukari: You're dead…? Then you must be a zombie…?
Lingling: Yes… You're a smart girl. Indeed I am a "living corpse", a zombie. Ones that can move around freely like me are rare.
Then she put her hands on her head and surprisingly took it off, making Moka and Yukari, who were near her, frightened.
Lingling: I can do this too. It's because I'm dead.
Moka: Stop that, it's scary!!
Gabriel was mostly unaffected from it, honestly, his "Diet" is as frightening as her trick. Then Lingling noticed Gabriel and observed him from nearby and touched his body.
Lingling: Hmmm… So you're Brace Gabriel? I heard from Fangfang that you're very strong. I see, I see.. You have a good body, except for the height.
Gabriel: Fuck you!
Mizore stood in front of Gabriel, separating the two of them, and said with a serious expression.
Mizore: What are you doing to Gabriel?
Gabriel: '*Sigh* Well, I hoped that not being as much affective with her as with Moka will be good, but it seems I need more time for results…'
Lingling: But it doesn't matter, you have a cute face! I want to kill you and turn you into one of my zombie friends.
Gabriel: ...Did your brain perhaps rot too?
Fangfang: You can't do that, big sister!
Gabriel: 'Huh? He seems so reliable now…'
Fangfang: ...Gabriel is mine!
Gabriel: .....Eh?
Then Lingling stopped talking about this subject and passed on another.
Lingling: Hey, you guys… Do any of you want to travel overseas?
Mizore: What…?
Lingling: You said before, right? That we had nothing to bet on. If we win today then we get Gabriel. However, if the red team wins, the Huang family will take all of you on a tour of China's gourmet and hot springs. How about it!? Are you still going to say that this isn't a bat-
Gabriel: DEAL!!
Everyone turned around and seen Gabriel already holding a suitcase.
Meruem: '...How did you get that?'
Gabriel: 'Shhh, stop questioning strange things, you will be thinking all day about them…'
[Later]
Every girl was on a track, ready to run, and then Ruby on a casino bunny outfit appeared and announced.
Ruby: First on the agenda, the first-year girls 100m race will begin shortly.
Referee: On your marks! Get, set… Go!
Then the first girls of the 1st year started to run while Ruby explained the rules.
Ruby: First is the use of monster powers; the other is the release of all transformations. These are two things students and parents are prohibited from doing in Yokai Academy's Athletics Carnival. That means that all monsters cannot use their abilities and must participate while remaining in their human forms.
If you break these rules, you'll have to leave the grounds so please be careful.
Meanwhile, the headmaster was sitting beside Ruby, spectating the fight.
Kurumu: Hey, you know… It's great that we accepted their battle, but you know that Athletics Carnivals are team based, right?
Mizore: Get the feeling that no matter how hard we try it won't really affect the outcome.
Tsukune: I noticed something like that earlier.
Gabriel: Pfft, if your team can't do it, drag them yourself, it worked on the multiplayer games and it will work on the real life.
Yukari winked at Tsukune and put up a thumb.
Yukari: Don't worry! Just like in horse racing and Mahjong, I've never lost a battle.
Tsukune: Don't they all rely on luck? Beside that, what kind of life do you have, Yukari?
Lingling, sitting nearby, explained.
Lingling: They aren't based on luck, Tsukune. Gambling involves knowledge, experience and calculation… It's a mental battle that requires all three.
Gabriel: She's right, but unfortunately for you, I learned a bit from the God of Gambling himself, that fucker could make 1 dollar into a million in a single night without any risk even if he was a simple human…
Lingling: God of Gambling, hah, that's funny…
Then Gabriel walked to the track and reached a participant of the race, who was Kokoa, before hastily whispering something.
Gabriel: Be careful, dodge any bomb you see and use them to accelerate.
Kokoa's eyes widened and turned around with a curious face.
Kokoa: What do you mean?
Gabriel: You just wait and see…
Then Gabriel walked away while Lingling's eyes narrowed.
Moka: What were you talking about?
Gabriel: You will see soon.
Ruby: In the 4th lane is red team's Shuzen Kokoa. She's already hailed as the strongest of the 1st year girls, and it's time for her appearance. What kind of run will she show us today?
Everyone: Do your best, Kokoa!
Kokoa: Geh! What are they doing? It's so pointless. I-I don't feel happy or anything with them cheering for me. <-----*Suddenly she's eager.*
Kokoa: 'Even without my power, 10 seconds is enough for me to run 100 m. There's no way any first year would win against me…'
Referee: On your mark! Get, set… Go!
Then while Kokoa started running, she got frightened when another zombie started to jump forward with her arms straight forward.
Kokoa: Wahh! What is that!?
Ruby: White team lane 3 gets a rocket start! She's fast! She's the only one with the jumping running style!
Gabriel: ...What the fuck?
Kurumu: Why is there a zombie running!? It's one of your friends, right?
Lingling: I dunno.
Ruby: But Kokoa won't give up! She's matching her speed and closing the gap!
Kokoa: 'As if I'd lose to someone li-"Be careful, dodge any bomb you see and use them to accelerate."'
Her thoughts were interrupted when she remembered what Gabriel said to her, and then she noticed the zombie holding something, before throwing it at Kokoa, her sharp senses saw that it was a bomb and instinctively jumped over it, before it exploded.
Even if her shoes were ruined now, she used the momentum to surpass the zombie, becoming first.
Ruby: AAAAHHHHH!! It's an unexpected bomb attack!! But Kokoa used it to her advantage! Is this the reaction speed coming from a vampire?!
Then Ruby turned around and asked at the headmaster.
Ruby: Chairman…
Headmaster: That's the work of the Huang family… Such a troubling bunch. However, yesterday I received numerous transferral notices. Which means those zombies are already our students… So we cannot forbid them from competing. But a bomb attack… Well… Umm… It's interesting, so I'll allow it!
Then Ruby announced it to everyone.
Ruby: After careful consideration, no action will be taken! The remaining events will resume as planned!!
Gabriel: Heh, even with the numerical advantage, it is useless when everyone is inferior to a single individual.
Lingling: It doesn't matter, we'll do anything we need to do to win, that is the way the Huang family fights. Please go to https://www.readlightnovel.cc/Hail-the-Ant-King/ to read the latest chapters for free
