[162] "Situation"

[Jiwoo House]

Jiwoo was alone on the couch, accompanied only by Kartein in his cat form sitting on another couch resting.

Jiwoo looked at Kartein with concern and asked. "Are they very bad?"

Kartein frowned and considered. 'They have had a lot of fights in a short period of time. Ares just needs to eliminate the energy of his opponents that hinders his regeneration and he will recover soon, he will be fine in a month at most.'

'But Kayden... That idiot fought while seriously injured against Andrei and, despite his incredible regeneration power, he will need several months, even years, to recover. He had the energy of those three guys he faced in his body, and now he has the energy of one more that will make it very difficult for him to recover.'

"They're fine, they just need a little time to recover" Kartein replied seriously.

Jiwoo felt guilty and expressed sadness. "It's my fault, if I hadn't taken that step forward they wouldn't have had to get involved."

Kartein frowned again and answered. "No... Those guys came for those young people from the world academy, and seeing you there they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate another possible competitor"

He looked away seriously and thought. 'Those guys probably wanted to get rid of the two of them in one fell swoop knowing they're here, but they didn't know about Kayden's strength.'

"I have to be stronger" Jiwoo murmured, getting up from the couch and placing himself on the floor in a meditation position, closing his eyes and breathing evenly, surrounded by a blue aura.

Kartein sighed and thought. 'These damn crazy people... they never get bored of training.'

Ding Ding

At that moment, the doorbell rang, drawing Jiwoo and Kartein's attention.

"Who will it be?" Jiwoo asked doubtfully, and stood up to open the door, revealing Tina.

Jiwoo was surprised and said. "Tub"

Kartein frowned and quickly looked at Tina, wondering. 'What is he doing here?'

Tina smiled and asked. "I can pass?"

Jiwoo nodded, and they entered the house.

Tina looked at the house with interest and then looked at the malnourished white cat, without giving it much importance.

She sat on one of the couches and Jiwoo sat next to Kartein.

"I won't take up much of your time, I noticed you were training" Tina commented.

Jiwoo scratched his head and said. "I need to be stronger"

"It's good to have that mentality" Tina responded with a smile. Then, her face became serious, making Jiwoo and Kartein frown.

"Are Kayden, Ares or Kartein found?" Tina asked.

"No, they are recovering" Jiwoo replied.

"Well, it doesn't matter, I'll give the information to you so you can pass it on to them when they come out of their training" said Tina.

"They attacked Edward... now he is seriously injured. His life is not in danger, but we decided to go to war against a top 10 who was the one who attacked him" Tina said coldly.

Kartein was surprised and thought. 'Edward, that guy...' and then, alarmed, he thought. 'Could be?'.

"Against a top 10?" Jiwoo repeated in surprise.

"The organization led by Astra attacked Edward" Tina stated seriously.

Tina stood up and affirmed. "I want you to pass it on to your brother, your teacher and Kartein. We will take care of everything, you don't need to intervene, we will let you know if we need your help."

"We will finish them off" Tina declared confidently.

Jiwoo opened his eyes, surprised.

"Give him that news, please" Tina said. She turned and walked towards the door to leave, but she stopped and added. "Also, Vatore is here, be careful, I'll keep an eye out for anything anyway, you don't need to be nervous."

Jiwoo, still stunned, watched as Tina quickly left, leaving the place silent.

Kartein frowned and transformed into his human form, muttering seriously. "This got complicated…"

Jiwoo looked at Kartein and asked. "Is it that serious? "Who is Vatore?"

"Vatore is a powerful awakened in the top 50 of the world rankings, and he has a very deep enmity against Kayden and Ares" Kartein pronounced, astonished Jiwoo.

"It wouldn't be worrying if we were in our best condition, but we are not in our best moment" Kartein commented.

"But I'm enough to take on anyone who dares to come, so you shouldn't worry" Kartein added.

Jiwoo nodded, but still worried, after a moment of silence he reacted and asked. "How will Teresa be?"

Kartein frowned and remained silent.

Jiwoo, worried, called her quickly, having a conversation.

Meanwhile, Kartein quietly retreated to an empty room to recover.

[Shinhwa]

Jiyoung was looking out the window at the city, and Inhyuk was behind her with his hands behind her back.

"It's true?" Jiyoung asked.

"Yes, her powers are incredible. I have never seen something of that magnitude" Inhyuk responded, shocked.

"Especially Kayden's power, it was of another magnitude" Inhyuk added with a cold sweat and a fearful expression.

Jiyoung sighed and said. "Kayden is known for being a formidable awakener. He even surprised you so much, I guess the rumors about him don't compare to his real power."

"Yes…" Inhyuk responded with a slight tremor in his body.

"I'm glad the boys came back healthy" Jiyoung commented.

Inhyuk clenched his fist tightly, full of helplessness, and said. "We couldn't do anything to protect the boys. His powers were at another level, we even had problems resisting the aftermath of the confrontations"

Jiyoung turned and looked at Inhyuk with a warm smile. "Don't worry, it's over and they're safe."

The next moment, a person entered the office and said seriously. "President, Tina has gone to see Jiwoo."

Jiyoung frowned seriously and Inhyuk was surprised.

 'Tina...?' Inhyuk thought.

The man left the office after observing the gesture that Inhyuk made with his face.

"That woman?" Inhyuk asked, looking at Jiyoung in surprise.

Jiyoung nodded and said. "I'll go see Jiwoo. Take charge of everything while I'm gone."

"Yes, President" Inhyuk answered.

[Awakened Union]

Delein sat with one foot on the other, very comfortably in the chair, looking at the old man before him.

"I don't want to". Delein said with a contemptuous smile.

The old man looked at him emotionlessly.

"Why should I do it? I don't earn anything and we don't have any relationship for you to ask me for a favor," Delein commented coldly.

The old man clenched his fist and turned to leave without saying a word.

He walked lost in thought when suddenly he heard someone calling him.

"Grandpa" said a voice from ahead with surprise and joy.

The old man looked up and saw Subin with Seongha and Wooin entering the door, walking towards them.

"President" Seongha commented.

Wooin looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

The old man looked at Wooin, recognizing him immediately, and then at Subin, saying coldly. "What is that outfit you are wearing?

Subin trembled.

Wooin looked at the situation in surprise, and Seongha remained silent.

"Let's go home, we have to talk" said the old man.

"Yes" Subin replied instantly, while Seongha and Wooin watched Subin walk away.

"Wooin, you can go see your teacher" Seongha commented.

Wooin nodded and went to his teacher, remembering what had just happened.
