[64] "In everyone's eye"

[Shinhwa Association Hospital]

Two days after the incident, Jiwoo slowly wakes up and blinks his eyes, looking around curiously, he realizes that he is in a hospital room and Kayden is lying near him.

Jiwoo feels confused and worried, trying to remember what happened.

'Did I lose again?" Jiwoo lamented.

Jiwoo recorded the confrontation and everything he learned with Kayden during his training during the week.

Despite feeling sore and having difficulty moving his body, he felt much better than before. Instead of resting, Jiwoo knew he had to make the most of his time and train to improve his skills.

As he circulated his force control, Jiwoo closed his eyes and a spiral of blue began to move around his chest.

Kayden, watching from afar, was surprised to see Jiwoo training without being asked. 'Ha! It's a good habit to get into the habit of always circling your force control,' Kayden thought with a smile.

However, his carefree expression quickly changed to one of alarm when he noticed something out of the ordinary.

"Jiwoo, stop," Kayden said quietly.

"Someone's coming," he added as he looked toward the door.

At that moment, Jiyoung and Inhyuk entered the room, interrupting Jiwoo and Kayden's training.

"I knew he would be awake by now." said Inhyuk.

"Mr. Inhyuk," said Jiwoo with a big smile.

"You were sleeping for two days," said Inhyuk.

"Two days?" repeated Jiwoo in fright.

Inhyuk smiled friendly and said. "Don't worry, it's normal for awakened people to sleep for several days after a grueling confrontation."

Jiwoo nodded.

"How do you feel?" asked Inhyuk.

"My body hurts and I can't move," said Jiwoo.

Inhyuk sighed and said. "It was expected, you have several broken bones and your arm was totally shattered. Also, you have cuts and bruises all over your body."

A frightened look formed on Jiwoo's face.

Kayden sighed and thought.'It's nothing. In an awakened confrontation with no rules, you'd look worse if you're lucky enough to survive.'

"Don't worry, Jiwoo. It's not such a serious injury for us awakened. For a normal human, it would be serious, but we have a better recovery. It won't be long and you'll be as good as new," Inhyuk added.

Jiwoo sighed relaxedly and a weight was released from his body.

Suddenly, Jiyoung interrupted and said. "Jiwoo."

"Yes," Jiwoo replied.

"Have you heard about Kayden?" asked Jiyoung.

Kayden, Inhyuk and Jiwoo were astonished by Jiyoung's question and turned to stare at her.

'Does the president really think that Jiwoo is related to Kayden? But those pictures don't say anything...they're just pictures. You don't know what's going on over there,' Inhyuk thought seriously.

Kayden raised an eyebrow and thought. 'Did you notice my energy in the last attack or was the information somehow leaked? I made a lot of fuss when I fought that old man.'

Jiwoo innocently said. "No... Who is Kayden?"

Jiyoung insisted and said. "You really don't know anyone named Kayden?"

Jiwoo kept his evasive look as he answered Jiyoung's question. "That's right, I've never heard that name."

Jiyoung stares at Jiwoo for a moment and then shifts his gaze to the cat.

Jiyoung didn't give up and turned her attention on Jiwoo's cat. "What's this cat's name?" asked Jiyoung curiously.

Kayden, who had been silent up to that point, felt very uncomfortable with the situation and thought to himself. 'This woman really has suspicions about me.'

Jiwoo, for his part, responded with a surprising name: 'Casein.'

Jiwoo's response took both Jiyoung and Inhyuk, who seemed to be excited about the name, by surprise.

Kayden, however, was very angry. 'Casein,'" he thought to himself, 'What the hell does that damn name mean?'

Jiyoung, though puzzled by the cat's unusual name, said kindly. "What a unique name your cat has, Jiwoo."

The next day, Wooin headed to school early as usual.

Upon arrival, he immediately noticed that Jiwoo was not in his usual place, which caused him concern as he never missed classes.

After asking some classmates, he learned that some older students had been looking for Jiwoo and that he had not come to class for several days, around the same time he started missing classes.

Faced with this situation, Wooin decided to go look for the older students and get an explanation about Jiwoo's situation.

After some searching, Wooin finally found the older students who had been looking for Jiwoo and were the same ones who had defeated him in a previous fight.

However, when I tried to talk to them, they completely ignored him and started being arrogant.

Despite their attitude, Wooin tried to remain calm to get the information they needed out of them, but in the next instant the three of them pounced on him.

With his fighting skills and sharp reflexes, Wooin chose to easily dodge the three students' blows and quickly launched a powerful counterattack against one of them, knocking him out.

He then cut down the other student and knocked him unconscious, and finally stopped the last student and asked him about Jiwoo.

However, the student knew nothing and only gave him useless information, so Wooin knocked him out as well.

When he thought it was all over and prepared to search elsewhere, Jisuk arrived on the scene.

Seeing the three students on the ground, Jisuk flashed a smile and launched into a hand-to-hand fight with Wooin.

The two young men exchanged punches and kicks, moving all over the sector, while their auras began to slowly rise, proving that they were no ordinary people.

However, Wooin and Jisuk stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Seongha Park and Inhyuk arriving on the scene.

The two scolded Wooin and Jisuk for using their powers in public, which made them think about the consequences of their actions.

After a tense moment, Wooin, Jisuk, Seongha and Inhyuk decided it was best to face each other at Shinhwa headquarters.
