"Oh man" I sighed, standing in front of Seongik Hans office door. Fiddling with my fingers as to what he'll ask about first. When I attacked Inyong? Teaching the affiliated? How close I am with Jiwoo and Wooin? Good lord have mercy on me, I'm so scared.

After taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. "Enter" my hand grabbed the knob, opening the door to see Seongik sitting at his desk with a man standing in front of him. "You may leave now" Seongik told the man who bowed back in response, leaving without sparing me a single glance. "Shut the door" I nodded, closing the door behind me. "So, what happened at the spar between Jeongsu and Inyong?" I flinched. So it was about that. "I let my emotions get the best of me. I apologize" I bowed. "I've been trying to work on myself but after seeing...after seeing a friend become ruthlessly hurt, I couldn't help it. I'll discipline myself more" I said, hearing nothing from the principal of the school for a while. "I didn't think you'd be able to land a hit on Inyong" he instead changed the subject. "Pardon?" I asked, looking up confused. Why's he bringing that up? "Inyong was caught off guard if I remember correctly" i had a bad feeling.

"Hmm, even then. He's an awakened one" Seongik got up off the rolling chair, walking to the window with a clear view of where the infirmary is located. "I heard from the medics that Inyong had a bit of damage in his area. Even an MMA professional boxer can't deal that much damage to an awakened one" he said. I flinched. They can't? But Inyong is still an inexperienced kid? Are awakened ones that strong? I mean I know I tripled in strength but is my endurance also great? "It was a lucky shot..." My words made Seongik chuckle a bit. Lucky shot. "You hitting the same exact spot to deal as much damage as you could was lucky?" I flinched. "Yes. I guess I just happened to be steady" I bullshitted. "Mhm, then. How about redirecting your kick as soon as Inyong dodged? So swiftly and quickly, even for an awakened one, it's hard to be that precise in knowing where your opponent will dodge unless you're experienced" I blinked. Of course I'm experienced in stupid tactics like that. My hyung was my opponent who did literally anything random during our spars.

"Well..." I paused. Running out of BS to spout. Let alone for it to make sense. "Be honest Kain" Seongik leaned his hands on the table. "Did your father train you to fight awakened one's?" I flinched. My father? Fight awakened one's? Of course! I can just lie about that. "Uh...." I pretended to be hesitant about answering that question. A look of shock as if I was caught. "...I...Yes. Father made me take special lessons on fighting awakened ones to buy time for myself. I wasn't supposed to be caught though...." I sighed deeply, looking to the ground as if disappointed I was caught so early. "I see. It's remarkable that you could hold your own against Inyong. Even then, he couldn't do anything to you in the first place. It's just shocking you were able to hit him in the at all" I nervously laughed. "Father made me take harsh training" scratching the back of my head, I remembered the insane training my "father" had made me do. Aka, Hyung.

It didn't occur to me until now. But maybe Hyung was training me to fight against awakened ones in a way. Even though it would've been useless against their powers, I can take them down if they don't use it right away.

"That's all I wanted to discuss for today. I'll call you back in if there's anything else" Seongik smiled, sitting back down on the chair. "Then, goodbye sir" I bowed, walking to the door. Pausing when Seongik spoke again. "I'd love to have you spar against me for fun. It'll be interesting to see just how well your father trained you" my eyes widened, looking back to see the scary old man smiling ear to ear kindly. "I-I could never, but thank you for the offer" I bowed again. "It wasn't an offer Kain" my breath hitched, gulping then bowing deeper once more then moved out of the office as fast as I could walk. Head spinning after Seongik seriously just said that.

Me? Sparring against the former number one awakened one in Korea??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME-

"Kain" as a headache formed in my head, I stopped hearing someone call my name as soon as I exited the building. "Jisuk" I took a step back once he stopped in front of me. He stopped seeing my reaction, trying not to get ticked off at the moment. "Haaah" he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Wondering why the hell he was even looking for Kain in the first place. But when we made eye contact again, he blinked, staring at my eyes. This only made me nervous. "Uhm, how can I help you?" I asked, rubbing my arm out of habit. "Oh, right. I wanted to ask how...how are you? I saw you kick Inyong in the dick, so I just...yeah" he sounded so awkward. Trying to ask how I feel. After hearing Seongiks comment awhile ago, honestly, Inyong is the least of my worries.
