âIf I win, you register as a hunter tomorrow and follow me for the dungeon raid.â
Haeun frowned.
She canât believe he was talking about the raid even though she said this. Does Jung Eunwoo not have the ability to empathize? Is he curious about Haeunâs reason?
âFrom now on, as an Awakener and as a Hunter, swear that you will not turn away from your responsibilities and do your best.â
âNow Iâm about to get really annoyed.â
Haeun stared at Jung Eunwoo fiercely.
âThen what if I win? If I win, can I do whatever I want?â
âNo, even if you win.â
Haeun frowned. Jung Eunwoo said without a change in expression.
âYou can easily do something that can only be done with dozens or hundreds of people sticking to it. Iâm not saying you have to raid dungeons day and night. But if anyone needs help, never turn a blind eye.â
âHa. Okay.â
Haeun raised her eyes, and threw the twig that Eunwoo had passed over onto the floor. She was more accustomed to moving with her body than lifting a piece of wood like this. Haeun froze as she loosened her wrists.
âAnd add one more to it. If I win, Oppa will get 10 finger flicks. Iâm going to make a pretty hole in your forehead today.â
âCan you beat me?â
The eyes of Jung Eunwoo, who had been laughing at each other, became serious.
Whooshâ.
Jung Eunwoo aimed at Haeunâs head from the start. Haeun ducked behind him and avoided his body. The spot where the attack passed was lightly scattered with traces.
Haeun leaned back and bounced back on the ground with her hands. She tumbled back and aimed at Jung Eunwooâs chin with her feet at the same time.
When Jung Eunwoo narrowly avoided the attack, Haeun laughed.
âThatâs a fake, though.â
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she lowered her body and hit Jung Eunwooâs ankle.
âUgh.â
Jung Eunwoo, who was hit by the ankle bone properly, frowned and shook his leg. His battered ankle tingled as if it had been hit by a stone rather than a foot. But there was no time to examine his ankles.
Whooshâ.
Haeunâs foot passed right in front of him. As Jung Eunwoo opened his eyes, his hair fluttered. When the attack failed, Haeun bounced back and stepped back.
The two glared at each other, poised as if they were about to attack again.
âUh, everyone. Stop fighting!â
Jung Jinho, who followed Haeun, shouted. But Haeun, who was already mad at him, couldnât hear it. Jung Eunwoo turned his head away as if he was deliberately ignoring him.
Jung Jinho shouted out loud.
âJung Eunwoo! Canât you hear Dad!â
The energy of an S-Class Awakener was already all around. It is also an attack class that is considered to be the strongest in classification.
No matter how much this place is a pension near the uninhabited gate, isnât it possible to be discovered if they fight while showing their strength from the outside!
Takâ.
Haeun stepped up high. Haeun, who flew lightly into the air, turned around and swung his foot.
Jung Eunwoo shrewdly avoided the sharp attack that came in, aimed at the neck. And he instantly changed directions and pushed Haeun away. The branch Jung Eunwoo was holding broke in two.
Boom!
The ground shook as if it had been an earthquake. Jung Jinho was frightened and shouted.
âJung Eunwoo! Are you going to kill your sister!â
ââŠIt will be Hyung who dies.â
Jung Sehyun muttered and at the same time, Haeun stood up in the dust.
âHa, Jung Eunwoo.â
A rustle came out. Haeunâs eyes were bloody.
It seemed that Haeun was determined to kill the first child.
Jung Eunwoo swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
Jung Eunwoo, an experienced fighter, had much more combat experience. However, the spirit felt by Haeun overwhelmed him. Even if the attack was sloppy, the power more than made up for it, so the ground vibrated every time Haeun swung her kick.
Even though she has this ability, she has been hiding her power for a long time.
So what on earth is her reason?
The trauma of the gym incident? it could be. However, every hunter lives with big and small traumas.
For Jung Eunwoo, the difficult rescue of his younger sister that day served as an opportunity for him to change his attitude toward his younger sister and to lash out at himself.
And above all, Haeun should have confessed to her family and asked for help, not hiding her worries. Thatâs why thereâs a family. Help and rely on each other when having a hard time!
Swoosh.
Jung Eunwoo got into position.
After the moment of being wary of each other, Haeun and Jung Eunwoo rushed toward each other. Lee Yoonkyung was angry when the fight didnât stop.
âYou guys! Canât you stop?! Sehyun, hold on to your sister and brother.â
âWhat?â
âHurry!â
For a moment, Haeunâs body groaned as if caught in a net. The same was true of Jung Eunwoo, who was running towards Haeun. Haeun rolled her eyes.
Jung Sehyunâs eyes were dyed purple.
His body doesnât move. It was as if someone had grabbed Haeunâs brain and manipulated it. It was strange and creepy. And most of all, the idea that others were controlling her behavior made her feel very bad.
Haeunâs body trembled.
âThis⊠donât annoy me!â
Bangâ!
âCough.â
Haeun forcibly cut off the control that restrained her. Jung Sehyun stumbled with the reaction. Lee Yoonkyung freaked out and helped Jung Sehyun.
âSehyun-ah! Are you okay?â
âCough⊠Thatâs why I canât stop Noona with my abilities.â
It was only Haeun who was released from control. Jung Eunwoo couldnât move when he saw Haeun running at him with frightening speed.
Instinctive senses were sending Jung Eunwoo a tingling warning. This is dangerous.
An ominous golden light shone in Haeunâs eyes.
Just before Haeunâs fist hit Jung Eunwoo in the face, Jung Eunwooâs ability to feel threatened with survival was suddenly turned on.
Boom, boom, boom!
The lightning struck and the surroundings exploded at the same time.
âHaeun-ah! Cough, cough.â
Jung Jinho coughed. Heavy dust was blowing in the aftermath of the explosion. Lee Yoonkyung stamped her foot.
âHaeun-ah! Haeun-ah! Eunwoo, that guy is really! What if your sister gets hurt!â
âMom, look over there!â
When the wind blew away the dust that was blocking the view, Jung Eunwoo was lying on the floor and Haeun was on top of him.
Haeunâs fist passed right next to Jung Eunwooâs face and was stuck to the ground. Starting from the place where the fist was pierced, the ground split in a radial pattern. It looked like an earthquake had occurred.
But it was something else that shocked the family.
âOh, my.â
Lee Yoonkyung covered her mouth. Jung Jinho was speechless. Jung Sehyun still made a sign for Jung Eunwoo.
Even Jung Eunwoo, who was on the ground, opened his eyes wide with surprise.
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ declares the death of Jung Eunwoo at 19:27 on August 26, saying that this is impossible to deal with.]
Haeun, feeling ominous, stammered and grabbed her hair.
âMy hair!!!â
The lionâs roar exploded.
âWhat to do with my hair!! You burned them all!!â
Jung Eunwoo, who felt threatened at the last minute, protected his body, causing a huge static electricity.
And in the aftermath, Haeunâs long straight hair, which she cherished, swelled up. To put it nicely, it was like a cat with a lot of fur, and to put it badly, she had an afro.
âHey!!!â
A power that was incomparable to before began to overflow. Haeun caught Jung Eunwoo by the collar while glaring at him.
âDo you want to die? What are you going to do, my hair!!â
Jung Eunwoo was flustered as well, so he was helplessly shaken by Haeunâs gestures.
Haeunâs eyes overflowed with flesh and blood.
âThe enemy of my hair!!! Iâll kill you!â
âH, hey. Youâre alive now⊠cough.â
Haeun tried to strangle Jung Eunwoo and Jung Eunwoo tried to stop Haeun. Haeun and Jung Eunwoo fell side by side and rolled on the floor. A thick layer of dust flew.
Bang!
Again, she had her fists on the ground. The impact that seemed to reverberate all the way to the mountain made the birds fly away. Haeun raised her fist again while scattering the stone fragments. Jung Eunwoo reflexively closed his eyes.
Heâll get one hit!
ââŠ.?â
Tears were falling from Haeunâs eyes. A lukewarm tear streamed down Jung Eunwooâs face.
Haeun twisted her face and sobbed.
âOppa is really the worst.â
âYouâŠâ
âI mean, I didnât do that on purpose. I wanted to save them too. Uh, I didnât even know I was the only one alive.â
Jung Eunwoo closed his mouth. Haeun was talking about the day.
Emotions that once exploded flowed out without knowing control.
âItâs too easy for me, huh. The monster dies just by breathing. So I think Iâll be able to save them out of there⊠because I, Iâm an idiotâŠâ
âHey.â
Surprised, Jung Eunwoo jumped up and grabbed Haeunâs head and pulled it over his shoulder. As soon as his body temperature reached Haeun, she started crying more sorrowfully.
âHnnng. I didnât do it on purpose, uh-huh, itâs not like that.â
As Haeun sat down on Jung Eunwoo, big tears came out of her eyes and soaked Jeong Eunwooâs shirt.
âIf I could turn back time, I would never do that.â
She wouldnât have run wild like an idiot, and she wouldnât have had the courage to say that she could solve everything. They must have just hid from the monsters and quietly waited for rescue.
Then maybe more people could have survived.
She still regrets it terribly. Perhaps Haeun will have to live with the burden in her heart for the rest of her life.
Jung Eunwoo, who raised his hand over Haeunâs head, stroked Haeunâs hair in a panic.
âHey, Iâm sorry. Donât cry.â
âTc. really. Uhh, I really hate Jung Eunwoo. You always make a bad, heukh, guy.â
âOkay. Iâm sorry. I misunderstood.â
âIf I register Hunter, hhh, Iâll do what I can.â
