Why Do I Have A Bad Feeling?

After he finished telling his story I nodded even though I already knew what happened. But he didn't tell me that I was one of his targets.

"So how will you find out about them?" I asked him.

"The rulers will open a gate in Tokyo to lure out the new shadow monarch and the anomaly will also come there that is what they think." He said.

'Well, you aren't wrong about that.'

"Ok, so what are you going to now?" I asked him directly.

"I'll rest for some time as Jin-ah said," He said with a smile.

"yes, you should repair your relationship with them. It will take some time but I will be fine." I said as I knew that Jin-ah and Jin-woo will get used to him again.

"…I think Jin-woo hates me now." He said while looking down.

"He does hate you for leaving them behind, but more than that he missed you a lot while you weren't here. He just isn't good at expressing himself like you." I said to him while shaking my head.

His eyes widened as he looked up towards me. as if asking if I was telling the truth or not. I just nodded and said.

"Why do you think we never moved out of the house, it was because aunt said that you would come back. She insisted on staying in this house and waiting for you to return."

He was lost in his thoughts again, I stood up.

"Ok, get some rest alright you have to go to get your Hunter license tomorrow. Korea is about to be chaotic again." I patted him on his shoulder as I went to my room. And laid on my bed I can hear the door close which means he went back to their house.

'Let's see how it goes from here on.' With that, I went to the training ground.

........

The next morning 7:45 A.M I was walking towards the training area in the Hunter Association and I saw Hae-in standing there I went towards her as she noticed me.

"Morning, you came early," I said to her while smiling.

"Yes, I can't be late when I want to learn." She said while looking down.

"What a diligent student, let's go in," I said as I patted her head and went inside. She came behind me while blushing.

"So as you are already a great swordswoman. I won't be teaching you much about sword techniques." I said to her as we took a normal iron sword in my case a Katana and walked towards the center of the Training Area.

"Then what are you going to teach me?" she asked curiously.

"It's a breathing technique," I said simply.

"…breathing technique." She said as she tilted her head.

"Total Concentration Breathing," I said.

"What is that I have never heard of that?"

"It is an advanced and esoteric breathing technique where a user inhales the maximum amount of oxygen within a specific breath pattern to raise their physical and mental prowess to their utmost limits. The effects include a plethora of enhanced physical and mental abilities, like superhuman physical characteristics, faster thought processes, maximizing concentration, and hyper-information processing. You know I use it constantly that is also a reason for my fast speed." I told her as she was still digesting what I told her.

"Please teach me," she said bowing her head a little.

"Ok then let's start by getting your breathing into control," I said as I guided her on what to do and what she shouldn't. she was having a bit of difficulty while using it in combat but she was able to use it while sitting or standing. She didn't Give up and started to ask what she didn't understand. After 3 hours we stopped the training. She looked a bit down that she wasn't able to use it.

'She's so adorable I thought as I patted her head.

"It will take some time before you can learn it completely."

"Um," she nodded with a smile.

"Ok, so let's go and finish the gates we can today," I said to her to which she nodded that day we were able to finish 3 B-Rank dungeons in our remaining time during the raids I told her to try and use the breathing technique and she improved while trying it constantly. Her speed and strength were increasing a bit, but she was happy as her efforts were showing their fruits. I gained 2 levels by finishing the 3 gates.

And while training her she was able to use the basic breathing technique by the third day and that day we cleared the last B Rank gate.

After having Dinner together we went back to our homes.

Korea was in a festive state welcoming it's 11th S-Rank. they had a new S-Ranker is there a reason not to be happy. though not much was known about this hunter. but it didn't affect the happiness around Korea.

And like that a week went by I and Hae-in finished The last 3 A-rank gates. My level increased by 6 and my status looks like this.

"OK, that's it for today," I said as I gave hae-in a towel to wipe her face.

"Thank you." She took the towel from me and wiped her face. She was now creating her breathing style as I said to her.

'Different people have different strong points so use your strong point and make a breathing style that is for you.'

From then on she is trying to make her breathing style. she is now 1.5 times faster than before after using the breathing technique. I am currently teaching about Kenbunshoku haki as I want to see if she can use it or not.

When we were at the gate after the boss fight she asked

'How do you know an attack before it is coming. I can do it as well but not with that accuracy.'

So I started teaching her about kenbunshoku haki and she has a talent for this. This isn't exactly haki but something similar to it and she was able to use it and sense attacks with her eyes closed.

Well, she is a genius after all. that's all i can say.

After saying bye to hae-in I went home took a shower and slept.

The next morning I woke up and after having breakfast with everyone Jin-woo said.

"I will be going on a trip for a week or so." He said while standing up. No one said anything.

"I'll also go out I need to meet the chairman in an hour. Take care ok." Uncle said as he went as he patted Jin-ah's head.

She is gradually getting used to being around him. i stood up and cleaned the dishes as jin-ah was sitting on the sofa.

KNOCK* KNOCK*

I heard the knock and Jin-ah went to open the door.

I came out of the kitchen after cleaning and saw her as she opened the door.

And it was Hae-in who stood at the gate with shy expression then she looked at Jin-ah and her shy expression vanished.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'
