Mysterious Call from The Shadows
As the days go by, Jihoon and Soo Jin continue to investigate The Shadows and find out what they are looking for. However, information about this mysterious group remained hard to find. Jihoon felt increasingly frustrated, but he would not give up.
One day, while Jihoon was training at the dojo, his phone rang with an unknown text message. Jihoon retrieved his phone and saw a message from an unknown sender.
"Second Audition Call: You've been selected."
Jihoon felt surprised and confused. Who sent this message, and what auditions are they talking about? However, there is something very prominent in the message: the word "The Shadows."
He knew that this was a mysterious call from the group. They had chosen her to audition for the second. However, Jihoon had no idea what he should expect from this audition or what The Shadows would test.
She immediately contacted Soo Jin and told him about the message. Soo Jin also feels confused, but they both feel that this is an opportunity to get more information about The Shadows.
They decide to take an audition call and find out what happened. They're waiting for further clues from The Shadows.
A few days later, they received another message containing the address and date of the audition. Auditions will be held in locations away from their city. Jihoon and Soo Jin get ready for their perilous journey.
When they arrived at the audition location, they saw many other participants gathered there. All of the participants were from different countries, and all of them looked extremely talented in the fight.
They heard that this audition was a special audition only held for the best fighters from every country that had a branch of The Shadows. Jihoon was honored and challenged by this confession, even though he remained vigilant.
Auditions begin, and participants are divided into various groups. Jihoon and Soo Jin must duel against participants from different countries. They realize that this is a real test of their abilities.
Jihoon fought vigorously and displayed his well-trained martial skills. He managed to get through a few games well, but he also realized that his opponents were getting stronger.
Meanwhile, Soo Jin also gives his best in his role as Jihoon's manager. He provides moral support and a clever strategy to help Jihoon in the match.
As the audition nears the end, Jihoon and Soo Jin wait for the result anxiously. They wanted to know what would happen next, and what The Shadows was looking for in this audition.
Finally, the audition results were announced. Jihoon had successfully passed the second audition and was chosen by The Shadows. However, he also realizes that this is the beginning of a more dangerous adventure.
They were told that this audition was the first step towards something bigger. The Shadows has branches in many countries, and they are looking for the best fighters from all over the world for an undisclosed purpose.
Jihoon felt increasingly interested in knowing what exactly The Shadows was after. However, he also felt increasingly alert and ready to take on any challenges that might be in front of him.
The next match in the audition brought Jihoon to face an opponent from Japan. This opponent had a reputation of being a very fast and agile fighter. Jihoon knew that this fight would not be easy, and he had to rely on all his martial skills.
The game started quickly. Jihoon's opponent from Japan moved at an impressive speed, dodging Jihoon's punches with ease. Jihoon found it difficult to keep up with his opponent's movements, and he realized that he had to find a way to keep up with the speed.
Soo Jin who was outside the fighting arena gave support and advice to Jihoon. He sees that Jihoon needs to figure out a way to overcome his opponent's speed if he wants to win.
Jihoon tried various tactics and martial techniques, but his opponent kept moving quickly. Jihoon felt that he had to reach the same level of speed as his opponent if he wanted to compete.
Jihoon's eyes began to glow red, and he entered "Angry Mode" for the first time in this match. This was a state in which he lost his own emotions and consciousness, but also gained tremendous speed and strength.
Instantly, Jihoon started to move quickly and followed the movements of his opponent. He was able to dodge his opponent's attacks easily, and then launch a powerful counterattack.
Jihoon's opponent from Japan was shocked to see this change. He could no longer rely on speed to dodge Jihoon's attacks. Jihoon begins to dominate the fight with deadly attacks.
The fight continues fiercely. Jihoon and his opponent faced each other in a series of rapid exchanges of punches and kicks. They were both extremely skilled and talented in their respective martial arts.
However, Jihoon's strength and speed in Angry Mode proved to be a considerable advantage. He continued to attack with passion and determination, even though he lost control of his emotions.
As the fight reached its peak, Jihoon was able to defeat his opponent with a critical blow. His opponent fell helpless, and the referee decided Jihoon was the winner.
Jihoon came out of his Angry Mode and felt tired and full of feelings. He felt relieved to have won, but also felt worried about the impact of his continuous use of Angry Mode.
Soo Jin immediately approached Jihoon and gave her support. "You did amazingly, Jihoon. But we have to talk about the continuous use of his Angry Mode. We don't know what the long-term impact is."
Jihoon nodded in agreement. He knew that the excessive use of Angry Mode could damage his body and mind. He promised to be careful and figure out a way to control that power without having to constantly use Angry Mode.
Jihoon's victory in the match gave them access to the next stage of The Shadows audition. They know that each step brings them closer to an answer about the mysterious group's goals.
They continue on their perilous journey, ready to face any obstacles that may appear before them. Jihoon and Soo Jin have shown that they will not give up in their efforts to unravel the mystery behind The Shadows and Death Eye.
