This happened a month after Ji-woo joined the dojo.

Ji-woo definitely gained weight during that month. His once-fragile muscles are now bigger.

As a result, his sword swing began to emit a sinister sound.

"Do you want a hedron?" asked Depei.

The sound of his sword swinging had changed, indicating that he was used to the sword.

"Okay. ”

There is no reason to refuse.

"Attack however you want. I'll stop it. ”

"Understood. ”

The hedron began. Ji-woo grabbed the blade and scanned Debae.

Depei lowered the tip of the knife to the ground.

Surprisingly, his position looks poor!

As he looked at him, Ji-woo was hit by a strange sensation.

It's happening again. '

He felt as if "if I attack like this, it will work". He often feels such a premonition!

This is not the first time.

It started a few days ago. He naturally senses weaknesses or gaps between the swordsmen around him.

This time is no different.

If he bumps into Debae's side, then he feels like he can hit him.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Ji-woo aimed his training sword at Debae's side.

Duck

Debae easily deflects Ji-woo's sword with his own weapon.

It was the same as I thought. '

Depei was a little surprised. For the newbie, Ji-woo's strike was very sharp.

True, he would have left an opening beside him in a bad posture, but Ji-woo was really prepared for it.

"So he did stop it. ”

Ji-woo already knew that his attack wouldn't work.

When Debae wielded his sword, that instinct told him that his attack would work, that instinct disappeared.

Unfortunately, but he didn't expect much on his first attempt. Ji-woo went on the next strike.

"On the feet!"

Next, his instincts guided him to the top of his foot, and as a result, he swung his sword at the top of Depei's left foot.

Depei quickly retracted his foot. His eyes became smaller.

He doesn't think a newbie will aim for his feet. Therefore, he was almost hit.

His senses are great. Now let's get serious, shall we?

Debae aimed his sword at the midline of his body. This is the most basic position of Swordmaster.

"Hmm. ”

Ji-woo bit his lip. As soon as Depei adjusted his position, his instincts became silent.

With no other choice, Ji-woo was as shocked as he was when he was taught.

He swings downwards repeatedly, slashing diagonally or slamming!

"Enough. ”

In the end, Ji-woo didn't even hit Debae once.

"You're doing a great job with newbies. Now I'm going to be the attacker, do your best. ”

"Yes sir. ”

They changed roles, and their hedrons started again.

But strangely, Debae's sword was aimed at any area where Ji-woo felt cold.

Duck

As a result, Ji-woo was able to easily resist Debae's attack.

When Ji-woo repeatedly stops the attack, he finds himself smiling.

He feels really good. Let's see how long you can hold out.

Whenever Ji-woo dodges or blocks an attack, Debae increases the ability and speed of the next attack.

Detahek Dede!

Eventually, Debae's sword hit Ji-woo's right shoulder.

"Ahh ”

Ji-woo defended too quickly.

"That's it for today. Good job. ”

Depei withdrew his sword.

"Thank you for your hard work. ”

Ji-woo bowed his head with regret.

"I can stop it. ”

Because of that chilling feeling, Ji-woo knew where Dee Bae's sword would fall.

Nevertheless, he did not prevent the last strike.

Although he knew the purpose of the strike, his body could not follow up.

"Anyway... What's wrong with me?"

That strange feeling he felt during the game...... How does he understand it?"

Ji-woo is forced to think more seriously about this issue.

Ji-woo feels the same instinct when fighting against other students.

He will immediately identify opponents' weaknesses and gaps in defense and can sense any impending danger and block their blows accordingly.

So, with this ability of his, he was able to beat a student who had been studying here for more than half a year.

"It's ...... Are there any after-effects?"

He had never felt this way before the accident.

If this is the case, then this ability must have been due to the accident and its comatose state.

"What the hell is going on in my body?"

Ji-woo trekked home and fell into deep thought.

And then...

The back of his head was cold.

Ji-woo instinctively twisted his head to the side.

At that time, a baseball flew over his former head.

"What's that!?"

Ji-woo was shocked, so he turned around. A man in gloves rushed at him.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"Yes. ”

"It's not intentional. We were receiving the ball, but I didn't catch it, so ...... The ball flew all the way to here. I'm very sorry for that. ”

The man bowed his head.

"It doesn't matter. Luckily, I dodged. ”

The man apologized a few times and walked away looking for the ball.

Ji-woo wiped the back of his head. When the ball flew towards him, that instinct suddenly exploded!

And not just on the hedron. It appears in my daily life. I had to do some tests.

If it warns of danger, not only during his scars, but also in his daily life, then it will really be useful.

Ji-woo, who arrives at home, will be taken to a nearby open space.

"What!?What do you want?"

Her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"That's it, don't complain. ”

He played Mina baseball. Of course, this is not a tough and rigid baseball. Since he did have a chance to be hit, he was hurt. So he bought a soft, bouncy baseball.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I'm going to face another situation, so try to hit me in this way," Ji-woo said. ”

"What?"

Mina looked at him as if he was out of his mind.

"It's a training method I learned in the dojo. Obviously, this can be very useful for improving your senses. So please help me out. ”

Ji-woo made up a story. If he says he wants to test his ESP, she'll look at him strangely.

"Really? Okay, but I'm going to work harder," Mina said.

"Don't wait, it's my first time, so throw it gently. ”

Ji-woo is safe to play.

Mina looked disappointed and ready to throw the ball. Ji-woo turned to face the wall.

There is a distance of 10m between them.

"I threw it away!"

She threw it.

The ball flew behind him!

His ass was chilling.

Ji-woo twisted his body and felt that cold feeling disappear. Then, the ball hit the wall.

"Wow. ”

Mina was taken aback.

"He did dodge. ”

She looked at Ji-woo as if he was some kind of strange animal.

She refused to give up.

"I'm going to hit you anyway!"

"I threw it again!"

Mina lifts her leg like a professional baseball player.

She's all in!

Jae is dodging!

She's all in again!

He succeeded again!

Third... Fourth...!

She didn't even hit him once.

It's been five months since then.

Ji-woo decided to call this skill "Super Intuition".

It will instinctively lead him to the opponent's weakness and/or warn him of danger!

It was because of this hyper-intuition that he did not go to the hospital.

He was tired of the hospital, and if he told them about his new abilities, they would either write him as a madman or go to psychological counseling.

Anyway, half a year has passed since he studied at Swordmaster!

His body is well-trained, and he is familiar with both combat experience and intuition.

It's time to go home.

Go to the game!

Arth, the world's top virtual reality game, is waiting for him.

Ji-woo said to Debae, "From now on, I will only go to the dojo on weekends. ”

"Why?"

"I have to work. Money doesn't just grow on trees. ”

"What kind of work?"

"Obviously the game. ”

All the while, he was trained by Depei and had a lot of conversations with him.

As a result, Debae knows that Ji-woo was a former professional gamer.

"A game, huh...... How about becoming a lecturer here?" De Pei proposed.

For him, there is no better sparring partner than Ji-woo.

And the salaries of teachers are guaranteed. This is much safer than playing games for a living.

Of course, only De Pei thinks so.

"I'm sorry, but I have to refuse. ”

He didn't say what he really thought, which is "not making money".

"Well, come on the weekend. ”

"I will. ”

Hu Zai nodded.

If he wants to maintain a well-trained body, he needs to come to the dojo regularly to train.

"And did a great job in the game. No, you might do just fine. Because we're talking about you. ”

Debae has never met someone as ruthless as Ji-woo.

"I'll come back later. ”

"Okay. See you on the weekend. ”

Ji-woo leaves the dojo.

A new beginning awaits him.

In the morning, Ji-woo opened his eyes.

"It's finally here!"

That day, he became a professional gamer again.

His blood as a pro gamer, who had endured it for a long time, began to boil.

"But first, I had to get something done. ”

Ji-woo leaves home to exercise.

True, he planned to play Arth, but he had no intention of neglecting his training.

He used to run around the neighborhood, do some stretching exercises, and build muscles. When he was done, he returned home for breakfast.

After eating, he left again.

How much time has passed?

Ji-woo returns home

"Where are you going?" asked Mina, who was watching TV in the living room.

"I went to scan. ”

Arth encourages its players to do the same. The process will scan the player's body and provide them with detailed data about the person, which will then be used to create their character.

In other words, it allows him to create his own copy in the game.

"Did you buy ice cream?"

Mina probably doesn't care much about what the scan is. She just wanted something sweet and refreshing.

"What ice cream?"

"Really? It's too hot today, but you didn't get ice cream?" Mina critiqued.

"If you want ice cream, go out and buy your own," Ji-woo said.

"That's why you don't have a girlfriend. ”

Mina stuck out her tongue.

"Then why don't you introduce me to someone else?"

"No, thank you. I'm not crazy. ”

Mina frowned.

"Then stop worrying about your brother's love life and walk into your room. ”

"Why?"

"I'm starting work today, so I need a living room. ”

Mina said, "I don't want to. I'm watching TV. ”

Ji-woo opened his eyes wide and said, "Do you want to die?"

Mina's eyes widened, too.

"I hid my report card in my room......"

In the end, Ji-woo won.

"Ah,. Okay, I'm leaving, okay!?"

Mina shook him off and went to her room in an instant.

"This girl. ”

It's been half a year since I woke up from a coma.

For Mina, who is like a cute angel who makes angels worry about her brother, she has plenty of time to quit her show.

Of course, her attitude lowered the level of gratitude he felt for taking care of him for two years.

They have just resumed their relaxed brotherly relationship.

"Forget it. ”

Ji-woo took out a data chip from his pocket, which contained all the scanned data.

He inserted the black data chip into the side slots of the goggles and put it on his head.

Ji-woo flicked the power switch.

Visit Virtual Reality!

A white hallway appeared in front of him.

There are two doors in the hallway. A sign is posted on the Overseer's door explaining the end of their service.

And...

“ Arth ...”

Doors decorated with beautiful silver patterns.

Black smoke rises from the center of the door with the word "ARTH" written in the middle.

"Shall we go?"

Ji-woo sounded very excited.

As soon as he opened the door, he was warmly welcomed by the rainbow.

He took a deep breath to calm himself and took a powerful step forward.

Ji-woo walks through the door and begins to create his new character.

[Scanned data exists.] Do you want to create a role from the scan data?]

"Create. ”

[Creation complete.] Do you want to change any details like hairstyle, tattoo or color?]

"Nope. ”

[Please set your character name.] ]

"Conou. ”

A strong older brother.

Abbreviation: Kangou.

It was Con'ou, known as the human dragon among the warlords.

[You can choose the starting position.] You may also be placed randomly. ]

“ Altein。 ”

Altein is the largest city in Arth.

After all, a big fish like him needs to play in a big pond!

[Please enjoy the game.] ]

"Yes. ”

Bright light enveloped Conou.

At that moment, the legendary rank of the warlord, the giant of humanity, Koon, returned to the virtual world.
