[73] "Wooin v/s Subin Lee"
Inhyuk frowned looking at Jiyoung. "Don't you think it's strange that Jiwoo recovered so fast? I mean, even though awakened people heal faster than others, Jiwoo surpassed that."
Jiyoung nodded, also scrunching up his face. "Yeah, it's definitely strange, he's never supposed to have had a relationship with other awakened before, it's possible that his force control has regenerative powers, I don't think it was just a coincidence."
"Exactly, I think so too, it's amazing for someone his age to have three powers speed, electricity and regeneration" Inhyuk said in amazement.
"I'll have to talk to him about force control." said Jiyoung.
Inhyuk nodded, showing his agreement. "Yes, you should definitely talk to Jiwoo about his force control. Maybe there are more things we don't know about him and he has hidden them by his will."
Jiyoung nodded earnestly. "There's more and more mysticism around Jiwoo, his talent is incredible, it's not easy to find and have such high level force control."
Inhyuk nodded with concern. "That's right, maybe there's something else behind his of him. should we investigate his life further?".
Jiyoung frowned thoughtfully. "We already investigated when we just found him and there was nothing, even if we investigate further it's very possible we won't find anything, since he's not from our country."
"we must make sure he is getting our security and support" He added.
Inhyuk nodded in agreement. "Yes, that is true, Jiwoo's safety is our main concern and that of all the awakened youth in our area.".
....
Subin Lee, the next heiress of Awakened Union and one of the four most powerful young women in the country, unexpectedly arrived in Jiwoo, Jisuk and Wooin's life.
Although they had returned to their usual routines of classes and training, Subin's presence created a new problem.
Subin challenged Wooin to a showdown in Shinhwa, Wooin accepted his challenge without hesitation.
Before they could approach Shinhwa, Inhyuk warns Seongha of the situation.
....
[Shinhwa]
Wooin found himself in the dressing room, focusing on his preparation for the showdown with Subin, he took off his sweatshirt and stretched his muscles, showing no expression.
Jiwoo, who stood beside him, looked worried, aware that Subin was the granddaughter of the current Awakened Union chairman and was expected to be a formidable opponent.
"Wooin, be careful," Jiwoo said in a worried tone. "You know Subin could be very strong."
Wooin smiled confidently. "Don't worry about me, Jiwoo. I don't think I'm much above Jisuk's level, you've seen our fights," he replied as he took off his glasses and put them away.
Jiwoo muttered and nodded in approval, confident in his friend's abilities.
However, at that moment, the dressing room door opened and Seongha entered the room, a serene expression on his face.
"You don't need to confront Subin, Wooin," Seongha said calmly. "I already talked to her and tried to solve it another way."
But Wooin stubbornly insisted on fighting. "No, I can't let the challenge go. If I don't meet it, she won't be happy," he replied resolutely.
Finally, it was time for the showdown at Shinhwa Arena. Jiyoung, Inhyuk, Seongha and Jiwoo, along with two cats accompanying them, watched the upcoming fight intently.
Jisuk, meanwhile, was relaxed eating baby goats beside him, enjoying the spectacle.
The tension in the air was palpable as Wooin and Subin faced each other on stage.
Inhyuk, who is a bit irritated by Subin's continuous words, saying, "As soon as the whistle blows, they start fighting."
Subin keeps talking. "hahahahahaha, you dared to accept my challenge, I will show you our difference of having been trained since I was little."
Then the bell rings and Wooin suddenly attacks.
To everyone's surprise, the attack hits Subin's face directly, sending her flying and falling to the ground dejected and her head bleeding.
Everyone is shocked and Jisuk laughs madly enjoying the spectacle.
After a moment, Subin quickly gets up and launches an Ice attack towards Wooin, without allowing Seongha to intervene.
Wooin skillfully neutralizes the attack and launches three bursts of power towards Subin, who counters by launching three Ice attacks and exploding in the center, minimally destroying the ground.
Subin stares at him and says. "Apparently you're not so bad...".
Jisuk, smiling, says. "He went toe-to-toe with me and he's not going to be decent."
Subin is shocked to hear this and rests his gaze on Wooin seriously. "So you're no stranger," she says.
Wooin, emotionless, replies. "Are you going to talk or fight? If you want to talk, I'm leaving."
Jisuk laughs at the comment.
Meanwhile, Jiyoung, Inhyuk, Seongha and Jiwoo look dumbly at the situation.
Ares telepathically comments to Kayden. {For that age, his power is pretty weak}.
Kayden laughs and replies. {Not everyone is that talented}.
Subin, without waiting any longer, creates two ice weapons and quickly launches herself towards Wooin.
Wooin tries to stop her by throwing power beams, which are easily dodged by Subin.
Wooin's eyes light up red and a shockwave explodes, with incredible reflexes, Subin creates an ice barrier, but is thrown backwards and, with an acrobatic move, gets into combat position.
Subin, with a very serious face, launches several ice blasts that completely cover Wooin.
Wooin tries to stop the ice by throwing bursts of power, but the ice moves countering his power and continues on its way towards him.
Wooin quickly creates a shield and the attack hits him.
A rumble is heard and the dust disappears, leaving Wooin with cuts on his body.
Subin jumped in surprise as she saw that the previous attack had caused little damage.
In response, she directed the ice around her to create an ice race that quickly expanded, covering Wooin.
Wooin watched in amazement as the ice barrier slowly transformed into a tornado, blocking all attack possibilities.
The tornado began to gradually decrease in size, and without saving any strength, Wooin began to release red auras with black edges that moved through the air.
After a moment, a large explosion erupted and shattered the ice tornado, revealing Wooin enveloped in a powerful reddish and black aura slowly fading away....
Seongha was surprised to see Wooin's increase in power and commented. 'Did he become so powerful, the control of his power is unbelievable.'
Inhyuk, on the other hand, was amazed by the fact that Wooin was using techniques similar to Dr. Delein.
Wooin stood in awe as Ares and Kayden watched interested in the confrontation.
Subin, meanwhile, met Wooin's burst of power with amazement and raised his own aura to the maximum.
At that moment, Seongha and Inhyuk appeared in front of Subin and Wooin and stopped the confrontation. "Stop," they said, "if you continue the confrontation, both of you will end up badly hurt."
Wooin and Subin nod, and Seongha walks up to Wooin and asks, "Are you willing to accept my offer?"
"I will not join the Union," Wooin replied.
Everyone listened carefully to Wooin's answer.
Subin, angry, said. "How dare you refuse our offer, you don't know how fortunate you are to be able to join us. Many awakened people in this country beg to join us, and don't you know how dangerous the world of awakened people is?"
"I know very well that it is dangerous to be alone and that the Union is a good place, but I have always been following my master and have never made decisions on my own. I want to be able to decide what to do, and in the Union, I wouldn't be able to do that. Even if my life is in danger, I want to make my own decisions," Wooin said earnestly.
Wooin turns around and bows to Seongha. "Thank you very much for the invitation, but I have to decline."
Seongha looks at Wooin seriously and says. "I respect your decision, but things like that will happen, and you were lucky this time, next time might not be the same."
"I'm ready," Wooin said, determined.
Jiyoung looks imposingly at the four people. "Clean up the mess you made," she said, turning around and walking out.
Jiwoo looks at her in surprise, while Ares and Kayden laugh.
