Chapter 89 – Desperation (2)
“This… I can’t accept this!!”
Looking at Seo-jun approaching, Lee Ha-yoon shouted as if in a fit of fuss.
outburst.
It was the first emotion Lee Ha-yoon felt in his life.
That’s why Lee Ha-yoon couldn’t understand this complex and subtle emotion rising from the depths of his heart.
Lee Ha-yoon swung his sword at Seo-joon, who was approaching.
However, he wielded it at random, but did not show the same momentum as before.
“This is nonsense! That’s ridiculous!”
It was nothing more than swinging as if in a fit of madness.
The despair and frustration he experienced for the first time in his life began to slowly destroy Lee Ha-yoon from the inside.
shhh!
Seo-joon easily avoided the rushing sword.
Even in a normal state, if he couldn’t even brush his collar, there was no way that a random attack would reach Seo-joon.
After lightly dodging the ensuing blow, Seo-joon clenched his fists tightly.
And he shouted at Lee Ha-yoon, who was full of loopholes.
Fur-billion!
“Cuck!”
Lee Ha-yoon vomited blood, as if the clots of blood were being released at once.
Incredible pain spreading throughout the body.
Lee Ha-yoon couldn’t come to his senses from the shock as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer.
‘Oh, it’s not over yet…! ’
Amid such dizzying pain, Lee Ha-yoon opened her eyes wide and focused.
Either way, the game isn’t over yet.
Besides, Seo-joon is currently without a weapon.
On the other hand, his sword was still in good health.
Therefore, if he avoided this situation well, there was room for him to lead the game to his own victory.
“This bastard…!”
Lee Ha-yoon gritted his teeth and raised his head.
And I let go of my mind again on Seo-joon’s knee that was full of sight.
Fur——billion!
“Ouch!”
My mind flickered as if my memory had been cut off for a moment.
When he regained consciousness, Lee Ha-yoon’s body was floating in the air.
And the referee, who watched all the scenes, was confused about how to judge this situation.
“What is this…”
He must have been right now…
No, the match itself could be said to be Seo-jun’s landslide victory.
However, considering the current situation itself, it was difficult to determine anything.
“No… No!!”
First of all, Lee Ha-yoon did not lose his fighting spirit.
He continued to wield his sword at random, but his will to fight did not break.
Above all, Lee Ha-yoon’s weapon was still in good health.
On the other hand, Seo-joon was dealing with Lee Ha-yoon with his bare hands without any weapon.
Those with weapons and those without.
Ironically, the situation itself could be said to have Lee Ha-yoon’s overwhelming advantage.
So, declaring Kim Seo-joon’s victory was ambiguous in itself.
Fur-billion!
“Chehehehehe!”
But now, the scene was Kim Seo-joon beating Lee Ha-yoon one-sidedly.
It is an ambiguous situation whether or not to declare Kim Seo-joon’s victory.
“What should I do…”
Maybe Seojun Kim intended this situation…
The referee even doubted that.
On the other hand.
Seo-joon looked at Lee Ha-yoon, who was getting up without knowing the feelings of such a referee.
A face with no sound anywhere.
Lee Ha-yoon’s eyes were full of miasma, but a vague fear was visible at first glance.
Seo-joon trudged toward Lee Ha-yoon.
“You don’t know, but there are people in the world who live a life of getting beaten up.”
“What are you talking about!”
Lee Ha-yoon took a step back and shouted involuntarily.
Seo-joon continued punching Lee Ha-yoon.
Fur-billion!
“Because life is so hard. Because I’m not endowed with overwhelming talent like you. There are people who live a life where they can only be beaten and beaten.”
Fur-billion!
“Cuck!”
Lee Ha-yoon vomited blood from the terrible pain that followed.
However, Seojun did not blink an eye.
He just opened his mouth in a voice filled with cold anger.
“But you know what is surprising? They just don’t care about fighting back.”
Fur-billion!
“Cheuk! You son of a bitch…!”
Lee Ha-yoon’s body bent sharply and at the same time, he suddenly swung his sword.
A blow aimed at after inducing distraction.
However, Seo-joon avoided it with a light gesture as if he had expected it.
And he hit Lee Ha-yoon mercilessly.
Fur-billion!
“They care about getting hit. Even though I live a life where I only get hit every day, I put importance on being fit. That’s why I don’t give up no matter how strong I get punched. We move forward little by little.”
Lee Ha-yoon’s face was distorted beyond recognition.
At this point, the venom in Lee Ha-yoon’s eyes disappeared and he was filled with fear.
Even so, Seo-jun did not stop his actions.
Fur-billion!
“No matter how hard you get punched or how many you get hit. It doesn’t matter to them. It doesn’t matter. Can you just keep moving forward? That’s all that matters.”
Fur-billion!
“So they go on despite being beaten. tenaciously. Still honest.”
Fur-billion!
“Nevertheless lose. keep losing why? Because I don’t have the same talent as you. So I can’t win any fight. It just fits.”
Fur-billion!
“Frustration is funny. Despair happens every day. series of defeats. Every day is filled with the pain of wanting to die. But you know what?”
Fur-billion!
“Ironically, they are the only ones who win in battles that no one else wins.”
Fur-billion!
“Because they know the only way to win a fight they can never win.”
Fur-billion!
“They never end the fight under any circumstances.”
No matter how hard the punches, they rise again.
Even if you fall down for a while, you will eventually get back up and move forward.
There is only one way to win a fight you can never win.
Because the fight isn’t over.
“That’s what real talent is.”
“Stop that…!”
At that moment, Lee Ha-yoon began to plead in a crawling voice.
It was only then that Seojun gently released his clenched fist.
Lee Ha-yoon’s face was literally covered in blood.
It was tolerable that he had not lost his mind.
Seo-joon talked to Lee Ha-yoon and at the same time said something.
“You say you are the greatest talent ever in the history of pro hunters? don’t be funny What kind of greatest talent is being able to whimper after being hit with just a few of my fists?”
Lee Ha-yoon’s talent itself may be outstanding.
Literally the greatest talent ever in the history of pro hunters.
However, that kind of talent will one day be frustrated in front of a higher talent and wall.
Just like Lee Ha-yoon is despairing of Seo-joon.
And talent, once destroyed in this way, can never come back to the way it used to be.
Because these people didn’t know how to fall, they didn’t know how to get up again.
Can such a talent really be called a talent?
The talent that Seojun was looking for was not like that.
Those who move forward even when the word loss weighs heavily on their hearts.
Frustration pain despair pessimism disappointment.
Those who persevere even when all the negative things in the world fill their lives.
Just like Hercules could have become a great hero at the end of the road of atonement.
Because holding on is the same as moving forward soon.
Such people were the geniuses of life and the owners of true talent.
so.
“It means that people like you are not the kind of people who can be carelessly belittled and trampled on.”
Lee Ha-yoon’s eyes tremble.
Seojun clenched his fists tightly again.
Then, he poured divine power into his fist.
Kwaddeuddeuk!!!
The muscles contracted at once, and a terrifying noise erupted from Seo-jun’s body.
Infinite power welling up from the depths of the soul.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A wave of tremendous power swept through the hall.
Everyone in the hall was overwhelmed by the terrifying force.
And Lee Ha-yoon, who faced that power the closest.
“How… such power…”
Lee Ha-yoon only put on an expression of disbelief.
Seo-joon swung his fist containing divine power at Lee Ha-yoon.
I love you so much!!
For the first time in my life, a huge wave of power rushes in.
In the face of approaching death, Lee Ha-yoon could not resist or struggle.
and momentarily
pop.
Right in front of Lee Ha-yoon’s eyes, Seo-joon’s fist stopped.
Woo woo woo woo!!!
Waves of tremendous power swept Lee Ha-yoon’s body, creating wind pressure like a storm.
The wind pressure alone makes no sense how huge this force is and how absurd it is.
Everyone in the hall could feel it keenly.
“Ahhh…!”
dump.
Lee Ha-yoon unknowingly lost strength in his legs and slumped in his seat.
Clink.
Lee Ha-yoon’s sword falls helplessly between his loosened grips.
Seojun looked at Lee Ha-yoon and clenched his fists again.
Then he slowly turned his gaze to look at the referee with his eyes wide open.
The referee trembled at the sudden gaze of Seo-joon.
However, soon after realizing what he had to do, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Gee Ki Seojun Kim… Win…”
The trembling voice of the referee resounded quietly in the hall.
Unapproachable irregular Kim Seo-joon.
Lee Ha-yoon, the greatest talent in pro hunter history.
In the end, the greatest talent in the history of professional hunters could not be matched by Kim Seo-joon.
I literally couldn’t even make it.
Everyone in the hall stood up from their seats.
Everyone just stared at Kim Seo-joon, who stood alone in the arena with his mouth open.
He just stared at Lee Ha-yoon, who was sitting there.
An overwhelming result that no one expected.
“…”
“…”
“…”
No one who watched the scene made a sound.
#
Immediately after the finals of the Interchange Tournament.
So Jin-hyeon, Lee Jin-seong, and Cha Hye-in were gathered together in a room.
For some reason, each of them had a serious expression on their faces, but they didn’t say anything.
With three former S-class hunters like that, the atmosphere in the room only got worse.
But no one could or didn’t care about it.
How much time had passed like that?
“So… what are we going to do now?”
Lee Jin-seong was the first to open his mouth.
“……”
“……”
However, despite Lee Jin-sung’s words, So Jin-hyeon and Cha Hye-in did not open their mouths.
It just made his serious expression distort even more.
Seeing the two of them, Lee Jin-seong spoke again.
“Tell me honestly. Even if I fight Kim Seo-joon right now, I don’t have the confidence to win.”
“…!”
“…!”
So Jin-hyeon and Cha Hye-in opened their eyes at the sudden words of Lee Jin-seong.
Who is Jinsung Lee?
He was a former S-class hunter and the representative of Gaon Academy, one of Korea’s top three academies.
Of course, it was true that his skills had deteriorated considerably compared to his active career.
However, even if it is rotten, it is said that Lee Jin-seong was one of the most talented among S-class hunters at the time of his active duty.
Even though it’s been a long time since I retired, that gamnyang wasn’t going anywhere.
Even if he faced Lee Ha-yoon with harsh words, Lee Jin-seong was 100 out of 100. He was confident that he would win.
However, it was not Kim Seo-joon.
Of course, it did not mean that he would necessarily lose to Kim Seo-joon.
But I couldn’t be certain that I would win.
And I really hate to admit it.
“……”
“……”
So Jin-hyeon and Cha Hye-in also had the same thoughts as Lee Jin-seong.
They were thinking about that while watching the match between Kim Seo-joon and Lee Ha-yoon.
In particular, those three blows that overwhelmed Lee Ha-yoon.
Would the result have been different if it had been them, not Lee Ha-yoon, who received the blow?
Would he have been able to handle the enormous force that shattered the spear?
In addition, the fist that Kim Seo-joon threw at Lee Ha-yoon was also nonsensical.
The infinite power contained in that fist.
Looking at it, they could only think of the word death.
“Even at the time of the raid battle, it wasn’t like this.”
“Anyway… I guess there was something about Kim Seo-joon after the raid battle.”
A heavy silence settled in the room again.
So again, a long time passed.
“The exchange war isn’t over yet…”
So Jin-hyun opened his mouth.
Then, Lee Jin-seong frowned and replied.
“Now come what does that mean? Kim Seo-joon is already unapproachable. I can’t win.”
“you’re right. I have to admit what I have to admit. You can’t beat Kim Seo-joon. But… you could use it in reverse.”
“What does that mean?”
Cha Hye-in’s next question.
So Jin-hyeon spoke calmly.
“We lost to Kim Seo-jun, but not to Dream Academy, right?”
#
“Ah… I’m exhausted.”
After the tournament finals, Seo-jun, who was heading straight to the waiting room, stopped for a moment due to the feeling of exhaustion.
“At the end of the day, I used divine power for no reason…”
It was because of the side effects of using divine power.
Of course now that the progress of Shakyamuni and Hercules lectures has risen a lot.
I didn’t faint from a single use like before.
However, I still couldn’t control the feeling of helplessness that came over me.
“I guess I should have just fainted.”
I used it out of frustration, but
now that I think about it, I wonder if it was necessary.
“I don’t know.”
However, it wasn’t that he regretted it, so Seo-jun quickly shook his head.
Seo-joon took a break for a while and then went back to the waiting room.
So before I knew it, I had a door in between until I was in front of the waiting room.
Then, just when Seo-joon opened the door.
“Hey, Seojun Kim?”
One of the officials suddenly grabbed Seo-joon and stood him up.
When Seo-joon looked at him curiously, the official immediately continued.
“If you’re going to the waiting room… I think you’d better go a little later.”
“What is it for?”
“That’s…”
Seo-jun asked, but the person in charge was hesitant with an expression that made it difficult to answer.
There was no answer after waiting for a long time, so Seo-joon just opened the door and pushed it aside.
right at that moment.
“excuse me! This is Kim Seo-joon!”
Along with the clicking sound, I heard someone shouting Seo-jun’s name.
At the same time, the eyes of the people gathered in front of the waiting room turned to Seo-jun.
Chow Chow Chow Chow Chow!!!
And flashes, like a flash grenade, exploded in all directions.
Then, as if using light gong, people started pouring toward Seo-joon.
“Seojun Kim! Please just say something for a moment!!!”
“There were rumors that he was a disciple of the Sword Saint, but is it really true!!!”
“There is a saying that you are the master of the ruble guild, but is this really true too!!!!”
I don’t know why, but people shouting as if they were shouting.
I wondered if it was right to ask me a question.
“……What?”
When Seo-joon turned his head to look at something, the person in charge was making a puzzled expression as if to look at it.
Seo-joon slowly turned his head toward the front again.
And there.
“What do you think of the word ‘hero class student’!!!”
The world was turned upside down.
