Standing Man's
The Miracle of the Body



He felt as if he was drowning in darkness. His fight with Master Kim and his final act of burning the room left him in a very bad physical condition. He felt so profound fatigue and exhaustion, like he had spent all of his energy in that fight.


However, suddenly, a soft sensation enveloped his body. When Dapa opened his eyes, he realized that he was in a bright and clean room. He saw Jihoon sitting by his bedside, with a look of concern on his face.


"Why are you okay?" jihoon asked worriedly.


Dapa was confused. He could not remember how he got here after his fight with Master Kim. He tried to sit down, and that was the moment he realized that he did not feel the expected pain after that fierce fight.


Jihoon answered a question that Dapa had not yet asked. "You might be wondering how you survived the third floor," Jihoon said with a faint smile. "But doctors say that your body is very strong and resistant to injury. Not even a bone has been broken."


Dapa still felt confused. That was not the answer he expected. He should have felt a tremendous pain after jumping from the third floor. Something strange is going on, and Dapa feels that there is something he does not know.


The doctor came to the room to check on Dapa's condition. After a few examinations, the doctor nodded in satisfaction. "Your body is amazing" the doctor said. "Your physical endurance is far beyond average. You're even healing faster than I expected."


Doctors explain that some people have extraordinary physical circumstances. Dapa's body is able to cope with injuries and recovery in an extraordinary way. Not only did he not have any fractured bones, but he also did not have any severe injuries despite the fight he had with Master Kim.


Dapa felt more confused. This kind of physical strength was something he had never known before. He knew that there was something unusual in his body, but he did not have a definite answer.


Jihoon looked at him questioningly in the eyes. "Why, what happened at the 9 Dragon headquarters? Did you manage to uncover something about the ruined city?"


He shook his head weakly. "I don't know anything yet" he said. "The fight with Master Kim is the last thing I remember. And then, I was suddenly here."


The news of Master Kim's death in such a terrible way, confined to a burning room and running out of oxygen, soon spread to all of his students, including Jihoon. They all felt a deep loss, and the atmosphere between them became extremely gloomy.


Amidst the atmosphere of deep sorrow, Dapa suddenly made a shocking statement. He said in a stern voice, "I'm the one who made him die."


All eyes were immediately on him. Jihoon and the other disciples present could not believe what they heard. Jihoon falls down, not believing that Dapa, their friend, is the one responsible for their teacher's death.


Bravely, Dapa explained, "I burned the room and spent oxygen in it. That's the only way to stop it." He stared intently at Jihoon and continued, "The reason may be that one day you will know."


The Dapa statement created great confusion among the other disciples. They feel confused and angry. How could Dapa, their friend, do something so terrible to their own teacher? But Dapa did not appear guilty or remorseful for his actions.


Some students from the school, who felt that they had to protect their teacher's good name, tried to attack Dapa angrily. However, Dapa was not like before. His strength and endurance were incredible, and he easily defeated all of them.


Jihoon, who was still lying on the floor, looked at Dapa with a gaze full of anger. He said in a trembling voice, "You will lose in my hand one day, Dapa. And I'm gonna avenge this, asshole."


Dapa did not give any reaction to Jihoon's threat. He simply shrugged his shoulders indifferently and left them all without any guilt.


As Dapa left, the remaining disciples felt confused and injured. They have no idea what really happened between Dapa and their teacher, and those questions will still haunt them.


Jihoon felt a deep grudge against Dapa. He not only lost the teacher he respected, but also had to accept the fact that his own friend was the one responsible for the death. The pain and anger within him continued to burn, and he swore that one day he would get answers and justice.
