Chapter 3: Hyper Intuition
It happened a month after Jae Woo joined the dojo.
Jae Woo actually put on weight during that one month. His once weak muscles were now much larger.
And so, the swing of his sword started to emit threatening sounds.
“Ingin arguing?” Deok Bae asked.
The sound of his sword swing had changed, signaling that he was already used to the sword.
“Good.”
There is no reason to refuse.
“Do not hesitate to attack as much as you like. I'll just block. “
“Understanding.”
Debate begins. Jae Woo grabs his sword and scans Deok Bae.
Deok Bae lowered the tip of his sword to the ground.
Surprisingly, his stance looked very bad!
As she looks at him, Jae Woo is struck by a strange feeling.
“This happened again.”
He feels as if ‘if I attack like this, it will succeed’. He would often feel a premonition like this!
It wasn't the first time.
It started a few days before. He could naturally feel a weakness or gap between the surrounding swordsmen.
This time there was no difference.
If he attacked on Deok Bae's side, then he felt he could hit him.
“Alright, let's start.”
Jae Woo points his sword at Deok Bae's side.
Ddmr.
Deok Bae easily fends off Jae Woo's sword with his.
‘As I thought.’
Deok Bae was a little surprised. For a beginner, Jae Woo's attack is quite sharp.
True, she takes a bad position that leaves a gap on her side, but Jae Woo actually does.
“So he completely blocked it.”
Jae Woo already knew his attack would not work.
That intuition, which told him that his attack would work, disappeared as Deok Bae swung his sword.
It was a pity, but he couldn't expect too much on his first try. Jae Woo moves on to the next attack.
‘Peak feet!’
Next, his intuition guided him towards the top of the foot and hence, he swung his sword at the top of Deok Bae's left foot.
Deok Bae quickly pulled his foot. His eyes are slightly widened.
He didn't think a beginner would be eyeing his feet. So, he almost got hit.
Sens His senses are incredible. Let's get a little serious now?
Deok Bae swung his sword at the midline of his body. That was the Swordmaster's most basic attitude.
‘Mm.’
Jae Woo bit his lip. As soon as Deok Bae adjusted his stance, his intuition became silent.
With no other choice, Jae Woo hits as he is taught.
He repeatedly swung down, slashed, or pushed!
“Enough.”
In the end, Jae Woo doesn't manage to hit Deok Bae even once.
“You did well for a beginner. Now I'm going to attack, so do your best. “
“Ya pack.”
They changed roles and their debates started once again.
But strangely enough, Deok Bae's sword will lead to any area where Jae Woo feels cold.
Ddmr.
Thus, Jae Woo is able to fend off Deok Bae's attacks without much difficulty.
When Jae Woo repeatedly blocks his attacks, he finds himself smiling.
Sensing his senses is really good. Let's see how long you can last. ‘
Whenever Jae Woo dodges or blocks his attacks, Deok Bae will increase the power and speed of the next attack.
Tak. Taahq. Tak. NAH! NAH!
In the end, Deok Bae's sword hits Jae Woo's right shoulder.
“Ugh.”
It was too soon for Jae Woo to hold on.
“That's for today. Good work.”
Deok Bae drew his sword.
“Thank you for all your hard work.”
Jae Woo lowered his head filled with regret.
“I can block it.”
Because of that terrible sensation, Jae Woo knows where Deok Bae's sword will land.
Despite that, he did not block that final attack.
Although he knew where the attack was meant to be, his body could not continue.
“By the way ... What's wrong with me?”
The strange feeling he felt during the match .. how could he understand it? “
Jae Woo is forced to think harder about the matter.
* * *
Jae Woo feels the same intuition flaming up whenever he fights against other students as well.
He would instantly ascertain his opponent's weaknesses and gaps, and could sense the impending danger and block their attacks accordingly.
Thus, with this ability, he was able to defeat one of the disciples who had studied here for over half a year.
“What is it ... side effects?”
He never felt like this before the accident.
If that was the case, then this ability should be generated due to his accident and coma state.
“What really happened to my body?”
Jae Woo walks home, locked in thought.
Later then…
He felt a cold chill behind his head.
Jae Woo instinctively turns his head to the side.
At that moment, a baseball flew past where its head used to be.
“A-What was that earlier !?”
Jae Woo is surprised, so he turns around. A man wearing gloves rushed up to him.
“I'm sorry. Are you okay?”
“Ah Yes.”
“It was unintentional. We played catch, but I didn't catch the ball, so .. the ball flew all the way here. I'm very sorry about that. “
The man lowered his head.
“It's okay. Fortunately, I avoided. “
The man apologized a few more times and went looking for the ball.
Jae Woo rubbed the back of his head. That intuition, which lights up when the ball comes towards him! That cold sensation!
Not This is not just during the game. It shows up in my daily life. I have to do some tests. “
If it warned of danger, not only during its lifetime, but in its daily life, then it would be very useful.
Jae Woo, who arrives home, takes Mina to an empty place in the neighborhood.
“What!? What do you want?”
His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
“Take this without complaining.”
He passed Mina baseball. Of course, it wasn't hard, stiff baseball. Because, if he gets hit, it'll hurt. So, he bought a soft elastic baseball.
“What do you want me to do with this?”
“I'll be facing the other direction, so try hitting me with that,” Jae Woo said.
“What?”
Mina looked at him as if she had gone mad.
“This is the training method I learned in the dojo. It seems to be good for improving your senses. So just help me out a little bit. ”
Jae Woo made up a story. He would have looked at her strangely if he said he wanted to test his ESP.
“Betulkah? Okay, but I'll throw it hard, “ said Mina.
“No wait, it's my first time, so throw it gently.”
Jae Woo played it safe.
“Cih.”
Mina, looking disappointed, prepared herself to throw the ball. Jae Woo turned around, facing the wall.
There was a distance of 10 m between them.
“I threw it!”
And he throws.
The ball came flying behind him!
He felt a cold feeling in his butt.
Jae Woo twisted his body and felt the cold feeling disappear. Then, the ball hit the wall.
“Wow.”
Mina wonder.
“He completely avoided it.”
He looks at Jae Woo, as if he's some kind of strange animal.
And he refused to give up.
“I threw it again!”
Mina raised her legs like a professional baseball player.
He throws with all his strength!
Jae Woo dodged!
Again, he threw with all his strength!
And he succeeded once again!
Third fourth…!
He didn't hit her even once.
* * *
“It's been 5 months since.”
Jae Woo has decided to call this ability ‘Hyper Intuition’.
It will instinctively lead him to his opponent's weakness and/or warn him of the danger!
It's because of Hyper Intuition that he doesn't go to the hospital.
He was bored with the hospital, and if he told them about his new abilities, they would remove him as a lunatic or he would receive psychological counseling.
After all, half a year had passed since he studied at Swordmaster!
His body was trained and he became familiar with his own fighting experience and intuition.
It's time to go home.
For game!
The world's top virtual reality game, Arth, is waiting for him.
“From now on, I will come to the dojo on the weekend only,” Jae Woo told Deok Bae.
“Why?”
“I have to work. Money does not grow only in trees. “
“What kind of work?”
“Game, of course.”
During this time, he trained with Deok Bae and had talked to him a lot.
So, Deok Bae knows that Jae Woo was previously a pro-gamer.
“Gim, yes ... How about being an instructor here?” Deok Bae offers.
For her, there is no better sparring partner than Jae Woo.
The instructor is guaranteed a salary. It is much safer than playing games for a living.
Of course, only Deok Bae thought of that.
“Sorry, but I have to refuse.”
He didn't say what he really thought, which ‘it doesn't make enough money’.
“Yeah, come on weekends when you can.”
“I will.”
Jae Woo nodded.
If he wanted to maintain his trained body, then he would have to come to the dojo periodically to train.
“And do well in your game. No, you'll probably do well. Because it's you we're talking about. “
Deok Bae has never met someone as relentless as Jae Woo.
“I'll come later.”
“Good. See you at the weekend. ”
Jae Woo leaves the dojo.
A new beginning awaits him.
* * *
Come morning, Jae Woo snapped at her eyes.
“Finally time!”
It was the day he became a pro-gamer again.
His pro-gamer blood, which had lasted for so long, began to boil.
“But first of all, I have to finish some things.”
Jae Woo leaves his house to exercise.
True, he planned to play Arth, but he had no intention of neglecting his training.
“Hoo. Hooeup. “
He ran around the neighborhood once, doing light stretches and training his muscles. When he finished, he went back to his house and had breakfast.
And when he finished eating, he left once more.
How much time has passed?
Jae Woo is back home.
“Where are you going?” Mina, who was watching TV in the living room, asked.
“I went to scan.”
Arth encourages his players to do so. The process will scan the player's body and provide them with detailed data about that person, and then use it to create their character.
In other words, it allowed him to create a duplicate of himself in the game.
“Do you buy ice cream?”
Mina doesn't care what a scan is. He just craved something sweet and refreshing.
“Es what cream?”
“Betulkah? It's very hot today, but you don't get ice cream? ” Mina criticize.
“If you want ice cream, then go out and buy it yourself,” Jae Woo said.
“This is why you don't have a girlfriend.”
Mina clicked her tongue.
“Then why didn't you introduce me to someone?”
“No, thank you. I'm not crazy.”
Mina frowned.
“Then stop worrying about your brother's love life and get into your room.”
“Why?”
“I start working today, so I will need living room.”
“I don't want to. I was watching TV, “ said Mina.
Jae Woo widened his eyes and said, “You die?”
Mina's eyes widened just as much.
“You hid the report card in Yura's room ..”
Finally, Jae Woo plays his ace.
“Ah, fuck. Okay, I'm leaving, okay !? ”
Mina flipped it over and went to her room in an instant.
“That girl!”
It had been half a year since he woke up from his coma.
It was enough time for Mina, who was acting like a sweet angel who was worrying about her brother, to stop acting.
Of course, her attitude lowered how grateful she had been to take care of him for 2 years.
They had just returned to their relaxed sibling relationship.
“Jeut.”
Jae Woo clicked his tongue and took out a data chip from his pocket, which contained all the scanned data.
He inserted a black data chip into the side slot of the glasses and then wore it over his head.
Jae Woo turned off the power switch.
Access to virtual reality!
A white corridor appeared in front of him.
There are two doors in the corridor. Warlord's door, with a sign posted, explained the termination of its service.
And…
“Arth ..”
A door decorated with a beautiful silver pattern.
Black smoke billows from the middle of the door and the word ‘ARTH’ is written in the middle.
“Can we go?”
Jae Woo sounded very happy.
As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted enthusiastically by a rainbow of lights.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and forcefully took a step forward.
Jae Woo goes through the door and starts creating his new character.
...[.The scanned data exists. Do you want to create your character through scanned data?]...
“Making.”
...[.Manufacture finish. Do you want to change details like hairstyle, tattoo, or color?]...
“Ngak.”
...[.Please specify the name of your character.]...
“Kang Oh.”
Big brother is strong.
Related: Kang Oh.
The same Kang Oh, called the human dragon in Warlord.
...[.You can choose your initial location. You can also be placed at random.]...
“Altein.”
Altein is the largest city of Arth.
After all, a big fish like him needed to play in a big pond!
...[.Enjoy the game.]...
“Ya.”
A bright light enveloped Kang Oh.
That was the moment where the legendary ranker of Warlord, the human dragon Kang Oh, had returned to the virtual world.
