chapter 12
12 – New Concept Fighting Power (1)
“Siwoon!!”
I opened my eyes at the sound of someone calling.
She was Siwoon’s mother.
When she gently opens her eyes, her mother is looking at her from above.
Siwoon’s mother woke him up as he fell asleep on the floor.
“Why are you doing this on the floor?”
“Turn it off.”
Rubbing her eyes, she raised her upper body.
How much time has passed?
I must have studied and fell asleep.
And,
In the morning, I woke up from that grotesque dream, and then I closed my eyes and woke up almost passed out from the unbearable pain.
“Mom. What time is it now?”
“It is eight o’clock in the afternoon. Were you still asleep?”
“Eight o’clock?”
He tried to calculate in his head how much he fainted.
I woke up around 9 am and passed out, so about 11 hours.
The numb pain in my eyes didn’t seem to have washed away.
But strangely, I feel something clearer than other times.
Is it because of my mood?
“You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Mom will make dinner.”
“Yes.”
“Your complexion is not very good. Is my son sick?”
“No… ….”
“Mom will cook your favorite fried pork for the first time in a while. Hang on. Mom is also on her way home from work at her company.
“
Siwoon sighed deeply, nodded his head, and headed to the bathroom.
Then he turned on the sink faucet and washed his face with cold water. And he looked in the mirror.
‘What is it?’
Siwoon’s mirror reflecting his own image was truly miraculous.
I feel like my vision has become clearer.
The number of pores in the eyes, nose, and face.
Even the strands of hair on the eyebrows were shaking in minute detail, as if looking through a microscope.
‘Something has changed. Just with that pain. Originally, my eyes were different from normal people, but not to this extent….’
Is this how it feels for patients with poor eyesight to see the world after LASIK surgery?
Siwoon hurriedly changed into street clothes.
The sound of meat sizzling and frying came from the living room.
“Mom. I’ll be out for a while.”
Immediately, Siwoon came out of the house.
Eight in the afternoon.
The sun has already gone down, the night sky has become dark, and the round moon is rising.
Lee Si-woon was able to clearly feel what had changed after looking around the night view of the neighborhood.
‘Snow…… !’
Surprisingly……
I could see the faces and expressions of people walking several hundred meters away, and even the small letters engraved on the chest of their clothes.
It wasn’t just that.
Even though it was a night when the view was wide open only with the trees and the moonlight, everything was visible.
As if it were daytime.
‘I just had to do with that pain.’
Siwoon looked around the neighborhood and went up to the roof of his house again.
Then he raised his head and scanned the night sky.
Moment!
With a chilling feeling down my spine, sweat ran down my spine like a snake.
Looking at the round moon, I could see the moon’s craters, and I felt like I could see something in the crater in three dimensions.
What is the distance between the Earth and the Moon?
A whopping 384,000 km.
This is a situation that cannot be explained in words.
‘Nonsense. How can the craters on the moon be seen from the roof of my house?’
A moment so amazing that it’s hard to describe it as amazing.
Even the molecules in the surrounding clouds were clearly visible.
This feeling of looking down on the world through a space telescope.
‘It’s not a dream. Reality, reality.’
I even look at the mountain behind me rising far away,
Despite this late night, I could see even a single tree at the top of the far back mountain.
And.
A situation where you can see the number of leaves swaying in the wind from the branches stretching out on the tree.
There was no fantasy.
‘This is a situation that I cannot understand. But, I always return when I die. In such a yard, this may not be a big deal to me….’
I blankly looked at the night sky.
A distantly shining star.
It can’t be this beautiful.
To be able to experience the view of the universe like this from the roof of your house….
After staring blankly at the night view, Siwoon returned to the house.
Siwoon’s mother and her father were eating at the dining table in the living room.
Siwoon’s father, who had just gotten off work and didn’t even take off his shirt, turned around and smiled at Siwoon.
“Siun-ah. Dad is here.”
“Welcome, Dad. Was it hard to come and work at the company?”
Siwoon threw out a kind word that he had never said before.
It was already written on his father’s expression.
His father’s drooping shoulders proved that today’s work was exhausting.
“It’s tough man. Come on, sit down. Let’s eat together…. Today is pork stir-fry. Does our Siwoon like it?”
Siwoon read his father’s momentary expression at once.
Thanks to the eyes that are more careful than usual.
My father tried to pretend that nothing was wrong and turned to talking about the meal.
Lee Si-woon saw everything.
The amount of very fine tears that grow in my father’s eyes.
Siwoon also tried to make her eyes redden, but she held it back.
Today’s pork stir-fry was more delicious than any other food.
What is its taste? To express it,
It’s chewy and moderately spicy, and above all, I can feel the taste of my mother’s hand.
“I ate well.”
“Yes, did my son eat a lot?”
My father asked.
“Yes…. Dad, wash up quickly and go to sleep. I had a lot of trouble today.”
“Damn it. Are you saying something you wouldn’t normally say? Suddenly, our Siwoon has grown up?”
“I will do well in the future.”
Father’s face hardened instantly at Siwoon’s low voice.
Siwoon was embarrassed and went straight into the room.
‘By the way…. How much more developed are my eyes?’
Siwoon opened the window and stuck her upper body out.
Then I looked at the scenery of the unfolding neighborhood.
As expected, it was surprising.
I could even see the expression of a person at a distance that ordinary people would not be able to see, and how many times their eyes moved left and right.
Does this make sense?
How would you describe it in one word?
Wonderful.
I can’t describe it with any words other than this one.
What more can Siwoon do with these eyes?
And then I began to think about what would benefit me.
With the development of the optic nerve, we can read hundreds of facial expressions of people in just a few seconds.
In addition, I can see through everything even at night when there is no light.
‘It’s a bit of a burden to my eyes.’
Then, a thought suddenly pierced Siwoon’s mind.
‘They are all related!’
‘I got a hint from the dream I had earlier.’
‘In his second life, the moment he jumped off the bridge and crashed into the water of the Han River. The water of the Han River poured into his eyes first.’
‘And at that time, I felt like my eyeballs would explode. And in this third life, his successor, the eye manifested itself as an ability. This… ….’
Siwoon made a careful inference.
The moment just before becoming rare in the next life!
Isn’t it possible that the body that received the greatest pressure is connected to the next life and creates an abnormal phenomenon?
‘Is it like that? If so… Maybe the part that was injured when I got into an accident in my first life is slowly awakening.’
Siwoon closed his eyes and thought deeply.
‘Yes. That’s it. For now, I have work to do.’
Shaking off his thoughts, he immediately sat down in front of the desk and took out the Hunter Academy theory from the bookshelf, then opened the book.
Can I use my more surprised eyes for study?
Let’s open the book.
Surprisingly, all the writing on a page was embedded in my eyes in less than a second.
And the contents were delivered to the brain as it is.
Splash- Splash-
I skipped a few pages.
“… Uh?!”
Siwoon exclaimed in surprise.
I remembered that the entire content of the page I had just turned turned into an image, as if it had been taken as a photograph.
It was not a simple speed reading like it was a few days ago.
“How could this be….”
Has the ability developed?
Siwoon, who was flipping through the pages like crazy, closed the book and closed his eyes.
‘I remember everything. All of them….’
It was amazing. It was because the pages of the book I had seen were being visualized and clearly popping up in my head.
It was different from simply developing memory.
‘Since the eyes were changed, the learning effect has been maximized.’
It was then.
Pot!
Suddenly, the vision in front of my eyes became hazy.
And.
My vision gradually became blurry.
“What is it?”
I felt the focus change.
Drreuk.
I opened the window and looked out.
By the way,
Things didn’t look as vivid as before.
‘Have your eyes returned to normal?’
It was as if my eyes had returned to the point of yesterday.
It was strange and curious.
‘Perhaps, the eye that was able to see even the craters of the moon was not the most developed stage in my eyes now? Then… It could be that my eyes can open more here.’
There is no way this could happen without a reason.
The body must have sent a meaningful signal to Siwoon.
* * *
A week has passed.
Siwoon, who woke up early, sits down at his desk and boots up his computer.
I was curious about the results of studying for a week.
‘I need to download the previous exam questions for the Hunter Qualification Exam from the previous episode.’
I downloaded past exam questions through my computer.
Then, while scanning the monitor, I picked up a pen and solved the problem, writing the answer in my notebook.
Suddenly. Squeak.
I heard the sound of a pen moving busily.
After a while.
‘I solved everything.’
The time to solve the 560 questions was only 30 minutes.
Even the one who solved the problem was amazed.
‘Is this all done by me?’
I took out the answer sheet and started guessing the answer.
By the way.
The answers written by Shiwoon began to match in succession.
‘What is it? They’re all right.’
The result of comparing the answer to the problem and the answer sheet.
Siwoon’s mouth slowly opens.
‘The wrong question is only five questions, five questions.’
-Hunter Studies History
-Hunter Studies Act
-Hunter Growth Theory
All three realms.
It was a grade 1 level result that falls within the standard score of 4%.
A miracle in a week.
I tried hard for a week, holding my head.
I never thought I would achieve this much.
Goodbye to the gloomy days in my previous life when I stayed away and studied for several years.
‘Enough! It’s okay….’
A job so great that one cannot even believe that one can or will ever become one. Hunter.
It was the moment I almost approached that hunter.
Moment.
The people who ignored him from his previous life to the present passed through his mind one by one.
‘My eldest aunt, Tae-seok hyung. And other relatives. I already want to see your wrinkled faces when I become a hunter.’
I was about to catch my breath, but the nicotine was suddenly drawn.
There is not a single cigarette in the cigarette pack.
‘Ehh~ Should I go out and buy something? It’s annoying.’
I haven’t even washed my hair since I’ve been studying for days.
I put on a hat and headed to the local convenience store.
“Welcome.”
“One parliamentary light.”
“It is 4,500 won.”
Siwoon took a cigarette and came out of the convenience store.
She then rummaged for a lighter in her pocket, pulled it out, lit a cigarette and lit it.
Click- The thick smoke from the cigarette he spat out spread in the air.
‘In a few months I will become a Hunter. The Hunter I longed for so much.’
I can’t really feel it.
As I smoked, I walked towards the house.
Her hum was about to come out.
Kikik.
‘… ?’
A Starex hurriedly stopped in front of Siwoon, who was silently smoking a cigarette.
Drreuk-
With the sound of the car door opening, two sturdy men get out of the van.
And,
I started approaching Siwoon.
What is it? What about these men?
The feeling was cheap.
By the way.
One of the men wearing a black suit with short sporty hair is approaching Siwoon right in front of him.
“…… ?”
I felt a sense of intimidation.
“Hey, are you Siwoon Lee?”
“By the way. How do you know me?”
Embarrassed, Siwoon stammered his words loudly.
But then, two men moved their bodies and started covering Siwoon.
‘What the hell are these guys doing?’
He hurriedly looked around him, but this was a narrow alley leading to his house.
There was not a single villager around.
Of course, in broad daylight like this!
“Yanmar. You will have to be prepared.”
“What do you mean? Who are you?”
“Let’s talk for a moment. Can you see the car we drove over there? Ride once.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Ride quietly for now. That would be great.”
“Why should I ride? Why should I listen to people who show up and get in their cars?”
Then a man slipped something out of his jacket.
Seureung- It is none other than a kitchen knife that shines and shines.
Siwoon, wide-eyed, stepped back in an instant.
“I don’t say it twice. Shove it in the belly Shut up and ride.”
Damn it.
However.
‘I don’t know what they’re doing, but there must be a way out. Let’s wake up first.’
