004. True Education

In the world’s perception, the difference between the Awakened and ordinary people is that they have physical abilities and skills that are far superior to ordinary people, but the most prominent difference is the difference in “regenerative power.”

In fact, even among ordinary people, there are cases where their reaction speed is comparable to that of an Awakened person. However, that is not the case with regenerative power.

Unlike ordinary people, Awakened people can visually confirm the speed at which normal wounds heal.

‘Before the regression, I didn’t exercise separately from games… … .’

It works well. Is it because the muscles are torn and the speed of recovery is overwhelmingly fast?

Of course there are reasons like that, but… … the biggest reason is probably this.

[Full Bloom: E (Unopened)]: The [Full Bloom] skill in the unopened state promotes the growth of the corresponding Awakened person until it is opened.

An effect that I hadn’t thought about because it had been so long since it was released. The effect of promoting growth was clearly felt.

If I re-measure my physical abilities from last time, I think my strength status has definitely increased. Even though I only exercised for one day.

‘Of course, even if it goes up, it won’t reach 0.1… … .’

Even so, the fact that the status went up even a little bit every day was proof of excellent growth potential. Of course, it would only go up a little bit over time… … but it was definitely much faster than the ability growth of the Awakened who were known before the return.

If I continue to climb at this pace, it might not take long to achieve the physical ability I achieved before my regression.

Once again, I realized how foolish it was to have opened [Mankai] early before. Of course, it was also a part that gave me hope for how far I could go now.

So, if it were up to me, I would like to practice more and fill the night with practice… … .

There are resident clubs and academies. There are almost no places where you can rent the Seoul City Stadium during the evening hours, unless you are a club official.

‘Should I find another place where I can practice alone…?’

Since the Awakened cannot practice just anywhere, it can be a bit tricky to find a place to practice… … .

Just as I was thinking that, my cell phone vibrated.

[Kim Do-jun: Are you still near the stadium? I’ll buy you dinner, do you want to eat together?]

It seems like there was quite a bit of talk going on at the stadium today over something so trivial.

A restaurant area near Seoul City Hall. Inside the restaurant, Kim Do-jun was waiting to arrive first.

“Do you have a lot of money?”

“There are so many that it almost rots.”

Actually, I wasn’t really curious about that, but seeing him shrug his shoulders and say it, I thought, “This guy is really the guy who was addicted to narcissism before his regression.”

“It’s not like being a hunter is a job that someone with unstable family circumstances would do.”

I nodded my head in agreement. It was bittersweet, but true.

Just for the Awakened to take various tests to find their skills and aptitude positions, they need money ranging from several million won to several thousand won.

It doesn’t end there, the “custom weapons” that match the awakened character’s characteristics for use in the game are also priced beyond imagination, as they are all custom-made.

However, it was impossible to defeat other Awakened people with only basic weapons and without knowing their own skills.

‘Come to think of it, my family didn’t really have that much money before I became successful… ‘

Of course, I know all the skills so I don’t need to check them, but I’ll have to think about how to prepare the weapons separately.

“So. Why did you call me?”

“what?”

“You didn’t call me here to do charity work because you thought I wouldn’t have money to eat… … .”

Actually, the reason why I called you is obvious. It’s because I destroyed the tanker clone that I showed you earlier.

You must be crazy curious about that. You tried setting it yourself and it didn’t work no matter what you did.

“That’s right. Food was just an excuse, I called you out of curiosity.”

“Tank clone?”

“Yeah. I tried practicing, but it didn’t go as well as I thought. Maybe it was the settings I had back then… … .”

The conversation couldn’t continue. Kim Do-jun just looked at something and his face hardened.

I looked back to see what he was looking at that made his expression hard, but there wasn’t anything special. If there was anything, it was probably teammates wearing the same uniform as Kim Do-jun?

‘Did you fight?’

As I was thinking that, I heard a loud noise.

“Well, I mean, that stupid kid was beating up a tank clone with a mithril sword.”

“Did you do a weapons strength test?”

“No, what’s even funnier is that he was trying to seriously break it. He was just acting foolishly right next to me. The only thing that was making a huge noise was the sound of him hitting it.”

They were talking so loudly and giggling that I could tell what they were talking about without even looking.

“I guess you went in alone and tried to follow me.”

On the other hand, Kim Do-jun, who heard that sound, seemed to be quite angry, and his face turned red with his head down.

But the sound kept getting louder, as if it was meant for Kim Do-jun to hear.

“So I asked why, and he said he showed me his friend doing it or something. It was hilarious. He should have asked if there were lasers coming out of his forehead or something. Hehe.”

“Wasn’t it fun watching those idiots hanging out together?”

“Unfortunately, that guy wasn’t there.”

‘They say the scariest thing is a person who has read one book and has a belief, rather than a person who has not read any books.’

That’s exactly it. A stupid guy who doesn’t know who’s foolish and who’s right.

I had climbed to the top so many times that it was funny, but I didn’t feel like just giving it to him.

It made no sense to be ignored by a idiot whose name I had never heard before before returning.

So I spoke louder.

“Tank clone settings? You don’t need to change them. If you know the trick, you can easily take them down. Still, it’s amazing that you tried to find out how. There are also idiots who lump everything together and say it’s a scam if they don’t know.”

It was really quite a loud voice. It made everyone in the store stop for a moment and look.

Of course, the same was true for Kim Do-jun’s senior.

Unless you’re an idiot, you couldn’t help but realize that this was a rebuttal to what you just said.

But I didn’t stop talking in that silence. Maybe it was because I enjoyed the challenge after a long time.

“Isn’t there anyone at the Academy who knows how to do something like that? Dojun. Did that guy behind you get in after getting bribed?”

“Saying something like that to your senior, Changhyun… … .”

“Shut up, dude. Your name is Chang-Hyeon? Oh, really. You’ve only just awakened, so you’re saying that to a student from the academy who’s as good as heaven. If an awakened person like me were to get hit, you wouldn’t even leave a corpse, my junior friend. I’ll give you 3 seconds. Do whatever you want.”

What’s that line? Did I see it in a movie somewhere? Something like “I’ll give you three seconds, so apologize.”

Of course, I had no intention of doing that.

Instead, as soon as he finished speaking, I stood up from the table.

‘I finally got to eat this meal, and I haven’t even eaten half of it yet… … Well, instead of the food tasting good, the way I look at it tastes good too.’

And what to do in the given 3 seconds is… … .

‘There is only one in this situation.’

A fist flew silently towards the guy’s ugly face.

Fuck –

***

[S(Seoul) – Academy Han Ji-soo]

It was the status that referred to my current self.

Being a student of the Seoul City Academy. That means that you have already proven your potential as a Hunter’s League and professional hunter. Being a top-level rookie of the Awakened. That means that even if someone picks a fight, you can just laugh it off and let it go.

When I become an Awakened One and learn of the power of that ability, even if I did something wrong, my opponent will humble himself.

There were some guys who grew confident in their muscles and growled, but even those guys never raised their hands first.

This is because they instinctively know that if they fight, they will end up in a miserable death.

“I’ll give you three seconds. Do whatever you want.”

When this comes up, I know I’ll have to explain myself. Anyway, it seems like it can be resolved through conversation, so I usually ask for forgiveness.

There are also many cases where they hold hands and bow and apologize.

I didn’t know you were an awakened person, perhaps even as an apology.

I’m so sorry, but I don’t know how to apologize.

I will say something like that.

‘I don’t really intend to just let it go though.’

You gave me a bribe and I went to Hunter Academy?

At least I had no intention of accepting the apology easily.

It was at that moment that I was thinking that.

‘uh…….’

At some point, a fist appeared before my eyes.

Fuck –

“This fucking kid!”

Because it was a completely unexpected action, I was late in reacting and was unable to avoid it.

“Senior Han Ji-soo. No, he’s only a senior to Do-jun, but to me he’s a stranger. Anyway, Ms. Han Ji-soo, don’t be a jerk.”

Lee Chang-hyun’s first blow, signaling the start of the fight, went in slowly but accurately and with a heavy impact.

And of course, the first strike had the advantage in the fight.

As soon as the bread was properly stuck, Han Ji-soo swung his fist without even looking ahead.

Great reflexes. However, it is an inaccurate punch that is too easy to avoid for Lee Chang-hyun, who can just roll over even if he keeps his wits about him.

Such imprecise and emotional movements naturally leave many weak points in a big fist.

Lee Chang-hyun did not miss that moment.

‘Since I’ve already decided to try it, I should educate myself properly.’

Although it didn’t have much destructive power, the fist extended quickly and accurately. The fist dug into Han Ji-soo’s arms and shook his jaw.

It doesn’t stop here.

For Lee Chang-hyun, attack does not only include physical attacks.

“Mr. Han Ji-soo, if you hit someone, there won’t be a corpse left behind. But what if you can’t hit someone?”

He laughed with an exaggeratedly comical expression.

As the situation of repeatedly swinging his fists in large movements and getting hit repeatedly occurred, Han Ji-soo instead took a defensive stance.

‘You’re not completely incapable of learning. Did you regain your composure after getting hit a few times?’

Instead of continuing to swing your fists in anger, take a breath and let it out. That was definitely the appropriate thing to do.

But just a few seconds after thinking that, Lee Chang-hyun realized that his thoughts were wrong.

“That piece of trash doesn’t even know the subject… … .”

Rather, Han Ji-soo felt intense humiliation, anger, and shame. This was especially true because the other person seemed like a braggart who didn’t seem to care much.

And Han Ji-soo, overcome by those emotions, decided not to hesitate in using any means necessary to get Lee Chang-hyun to bed.

While Lee Chang-hyun and Han Ji-soo were standing at quite a distance, Han Ji-soo suddenly extended her hand forward.

Of course, it wasn’t within arm’s reach, so Han Ji-soo looked like she was acting strangely… … .

‘Is this kid really crazy?’

Lee Chang-hyun saw it. A danger warning that spread out in a red circle centered around him.

Warning signal for the skill [Piercing Eyes].

Immediately, Lee Chang-hyun dodged to the side.

Woozikkun!

‘Gravity attack… … .’

As soon as he dodged, a destructive sound was heard that proved Lee Chang-hyun’s actions were right.

The table, chairs, and food that had been in their original places were crushed to the floor as if they had been pressed down by something strong.

It was just a moment.

“Whoa!”

The guests who had been watching the fight from their tables, noisily, rushed outside.

Because he knew that he could get caught up in this kind of range attack.

As the guests all left, Han Ji-soo began to use her abilities even more generously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dishes and tables inside the restaurant were smashed to pieces.

Every place Han Ji-soo passed by was a scene of bloody destruction.

‘I was just trying to beat him to a moderate degree… … .’

This was definitely crossing the line. Using skills against people in a place that wasn’t even a league or a top?

If done wrong, it was an attack that could have even affected ordinary people.

“Hey, Han Ji-soo. Let’s get some.”

He is the kind of guy who can’t just accept his junior’s cuteness.
