Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 120
23. Sparring Tour (4)
Kim Si-woo came down from the Octagon.
While everyone was watching with shocked faces, he trudged on and headed straight for Kim Hyun-seong.
“This makes it clear.”
It was a random thing.
Their faces were so messed up that it was hard to tell whether they were winners or losers, and their pronunciation was slurred because their mouths were all blown up. However, no one looked down on Kim Si-woo. The fact that he won after a close battle with Hwang Dae-myeong no longer devalued him as a ‘high school amateur.’
“Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myeong. They are all professional players. They were professional fighters who showed good performance in domestic martial arts organizations, and I defeated them both. I’ve eliminated two of them from my line. I don’t know exactly what you plan to do in the future, and I admit that I am not stronger than you, but I am someone who will definitely help you in what you plan to do in the future. “It would be a loss to exclude this kind of power.”
It was a conversation that only the two of them could know.
Hyunseong Kim will be leaving soon.
Now that he is preparing step by step to transfer to Seoul, Kim Hyun-seong has not once discussed what happens after that.
its meaning.
Kim Si-woo did not know.
Even when conquering Daesan, didn’t Kim Hyun-seong appear to be dealing with the enemies alone at the most important moment? This time will be no different. ‘Self’ did not exist in the plan Kim Hyun-seong was preparing.
Kim Si-woo said.
“You choose. If you properly include me in your plan, I will stick to my role without trying to learn more, but if you exclude me until the end, I have no choice but to conclude that you are unable to make rational decisions. Since I can’t ignore my friend’s danger, I will try to do something of my own. And that might be a variable you can’t predict, and it might actually put me at risk.”
“…Why do you do that?”
“What is your reason for doing something like that? “You’re just acting like someone whose life is over.”
That was the biggest problem.
As if life had fallen into abyss.
Kim Hyun-seong did not look back.
Kim Si-woo could not ignore his friend because he was the only friend who helped him when no one else would lend a hand.
In that intense enthusiasm.
“….”
Even Kim Hyun-seong could not help but be at a loss for words.
How can you tell the truth?
There was a time when I lived as a vegetable.
What a huge group the Golden Circle is and that he would sacrifice his life to take them down.
It was an area that could not be explained.
It was also something that should not be explained.
My head hurt.
As Kim Si-woo expected, he planned to drop him, but just like when the Park Jin-woo incident occurred, Kim Si-woo knew how the situation was going. And I also knew how to get Kim Hyun-seong into trouble.
It was then.
That time when everyone is holding their breath and eavesdropping on the conversation.
“I don’t know what kind of shocking drama you’re making, but should we stop and move on to the next game? “There’s still one more person left.”
Lee Du-hak intervened in a nervous voice.
* * *
Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myung’s defeat.
It was a disastrous result.
Duhak Lee heard people whispering quietly.
“and.”
“Is this a bit weird?”
“It seems like Director Lee Doo-hak gathered people together to try to fuck Jeong Doo-cheol. Isn’t this a bitch? No, they brought in professional kids to try to beat high school amateurs. “Even if I won overwhelmingly, I got a come-from-behind KO in a situation where the fight was even close, so I don’t think I have anything more to say.”
“It’s difficult for Director Lee Du-hak. “There are only so many eyes watching here, so there’s no way the backstory won’t leak out.”
In his own way, he muttered with his voice muffled.
Nevertheless, their story stuck in my ears like a sharp arrow.
‘What a piece of shit.’
My body was shaking.
If things end like this.
Your reputation cannot be restored.
As Jeong Doo-cheol said, from the moment he gathered people together to screw the opponent, he had to take responsibility for the defeat. What will people say about this incident? Just like his performance in the UFC, Jeong Doo-cheol and himself are on different levels as leaders. It felt like those words were already buzzing in my ears.
I couldn’t let it go like this.
Kim Si-woo was no longer in a state to proceed with the game, but Kim Hyun-seong, who was talking to him, thought it was different.
When people focus on the conversation between the two.
Duhak Lee approached one person.
“Changhun. “Let’s just play one game.”
“yes? That’s a bit…”
Shin Chang-hoon.
He was Lee Du-hak’s secret weapon.
Although he has not made his professional debut yet, Lee Doo-hak clearly believes that Shin Chang-hoon is more talented than his masterpiece that was sent to the UFC. Even in the informal sparring, both Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myeong were beaten by Shin Chang-hoon. In fact, that’s why we discussed with domestic martial arts organizations a way to make Shin Chang-hoon debut in an unconventional way. For example, I was confident that Shin Chang-hoon would definitely become a martial arts star through a martial arts audition program or similar methods.
A card like that.
It meant taking it out now.
Shin Chang-hoon responded that he was troubled by the sudden proposal, but Lee Du-hak’s eyes were shining with madness.
“It’s just light sparring. What would happen if you proved your skills here? Officials will keep an eye on you and give you a solid opportunity as long as you get a good evaluation. So, do you want to do it or not?”
“Ugh, I didn’t expect this.”
Shin Chang-hoon saw Kim Hyun-seong.
I dreamed of a brilliant debut.
The other person is a high school student whose name you don’t even know.
What can I do?
I heard my teacher wants this so much.
Shin Chang-hoon smiled.
“I will. “Who will restore your honor if not me?”
* * *
Lee Du-hak said.
“I heard that you want to check the skills of both of your students. “There’s still one person left, so why don’t we try it with Changhoon?”
“Shin Chang-hoon?”
“Oh, this would be worth seeing.”
People were amazed.
Shin Chang-Hoon.
He was a player whose name was already known to those involved.
People’s eyes sparkled at the fact that Lee Doo-hak was letting go of his beloved player for a perfect debut.
It was a good opportunity to check out Shin Chang-hoon’s skills.
Jeong Doo-cheol saw Kim Hyun-seong.
“You choose. “Because it’s something you have to deal with.”
Eyes were focused.
In fact, considering the professional records achieved by Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myung, Kim Hyun-seong was in a situation where he was dealing with a player who was only a rookie. A matchup that may not be enough to test your skills. If you didn’t know the future, you would think that way.
‘I said that in the distant future, there will be two future players on the domestic martial arts stage. One is Kim Mu-yeol and the other is.’
as soon as.
It was Shin Chang-hoon in front of me.
Of course, Shin Chang-hoon did not show the same impact as Kim Moo-yeol to become UFC champion, but he soon swept away the domestic organization with a brilliant debut. The nickname given to Shin Chang-hoon at that time was Dynamite. Due to his explosive fighting style, he was called up to the UFC two years after his debut.
It was an opponent that was more than enough.
People were worried about Kim Hyun-seong, but they were actually happy about Kim Hyun-seong.
I took my eyes off Kim Si-woo.
went forward
“Let’s try.”
I put the mouthpiece in my mouth.
Seeing Kim Hyun-sung go up to the stage first, Shin Chang-hoon also reacted nervously and put the mouthpiece in his mouth.
“You really accept this. “Eh, I don’t know either.”
Siuna Kim.
Hyunseong Kim.
I was so cocky.
There was a clear need to punish their fearless attitude.
Before going on stage, Shin Chang-hoon looked back and said to Lee Du-hak.
“Director. Take care of the rest yourself. “Because the other person might die.”
* * *
I stood face to face with Shin Chang-hoon.
Shin Chang-hoon smiled.
“It’s a really good time. “If you see that you just accept it without hesitation.”
As if provoking.
Shin Chang-hoon was talking.
It was a comment that ignored Kim Hyun-seong, but Kim Hyun-seong did not listen to the story.
‘Current Shin Chang-hoon is not yet at the level to advance to the UFC stage. Still, it is clear that he is an incredibly talented person. In order to defeat the monsters that have been given S rank in the Golden Circle, you must defeat Shin Chang-Hoon. It’s a good opportunity. A golden opportunity to convince myself.’
Pap tapuk.
I gripped the mouthpiece tightly.
Shin Chang-hoon, who had been talking for a while, shook his head as if he was bored.
“It’s not fun.”
No more.
There was no need for conversation.
The referee gave the signal.
“start-!”
There is a picture that people expected.
Like Ahn Dong-yeop.
Like Hwang Dae-myeong.
I thought the pros would take the lead at the beginning.
However, as soon as the start signal was given, Kim Hyun-seong rushed in immediately.
sudden.
Knock knock!
It was a mindless assault.
Without any build-up to gauge the opponent, Kim Hyun-seong engaged in a close fight with Shin Chang-hoon.
Outside the Octagon, Kim Si-woo showed an unexpected look.
This wasn’t Kim Hyun-seong’s style.
Kim Hyun-sung showed that he understood his opponent well and destroyed them at once, as if he were a seasoned veteran. In fact, when the two sparred, Kim Hyun-seong was like a solid iron fortress. A style that never responds to even the slightest provocation and aggressively pushes in the moment it shows even the slightest weakness.
never.
It was not hasty like this.
Shin Chang-hoon also twitched his lips as if it were the same and instead of avoiding Kim Hyun-sung’s attack, he countered.
Bah!
I raised my arm and blocked it.
Kim Hyun-seong took a step further.
They continued to trade attacks and defenses as they narrowed the distance to the point where they could barely hear their breathing.
Huh –
a fist passed over my head.
Kim Hyun-seong caught the opponent’s reaction and turned his head just a short distance away, lunged to the side and hit Shin Chang-hoon’s side. Shin Chang-hoon slightly twitched his eyebrows and punched Kim Hyun-seong in the face. Rather than avoiding a head-on confrontation, I wanted to crush Kim Hyun-seong’s unseemly intentions head on.
puck.
Sigh!
This time, I was blocked by the guard.
Taking the damage as a guard, Kim Hyun-seong engaged in a fierce battle with Shin Chang-hoon.
‘I don’t want an ordinary victory.’
This sparring.
The purpose was clear.
Kim Hyun-seong defeated his opponent after careful calculation.
It was the same in the Octagon.
After widening the distance, identifying the opponent, and using that time to dramatically increase the odds of winning, I defeated him in one go, like a poisonous snake biting the back of the neck. But not as much as now. I cannot be sure that perfect preparations are possible even in Seoul. Because it is an unknown world, it is impossible to know how strong people will be there, and since it is the home of enemies, fights will occur even when you do not want it.
always.
It can’t be perfect.
Therefore, I put myself down.
I trusted my instincts and tried to bump into Shin Chang-hoon as I was.
Bang bang!
It was a melee.
When Shin Chang-hoon hits.
Hyunseong Kim also gave it back.
When Shin Chang-hoon takes the steps.
Hyunseong Kim followed along.
Even though the opponent was a professional and he was an amateur, Kim Hyun-sung did not avoid fighting with his opponent as if he was leading the game.
Times of thorough training.
It melted into my body.
Even though he moved instinctively, Kim Hyun-sung’s every intention threatened Shin Chang-hoon.
Pot.
A fist passes by by a narrow margin.
Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes flashed sharply.
Shin Chang-hoon, who sensed something strange, made eye contact, and Kim Hyun-seong was already pushing his opponent to the end of the cage.
Shin Chang-hoon’s face was stained with embarrassment.
‘What is this?’
Whatever people expected.
This was a very different development than expected.
* * *
Jeong Doo-cheol watched the game.
Shin Chang-Hoon.
I knew very well what kind of player he was.
Although it was a brilliant talent, Jeong Doo-cheol was not worried at all.
‘There is a conclusion I have come to while teaching Kim Hyun-seong over the past year.’
Hyunseong Kim was talented.
Physical ability is also good.
The ability to judge the situation is also good.
Above all, because of his great desire to become stronger, he showed rapid growth in a short period of time.
however.
The more I experience him.
I simply thought that that wasn’t everything about Kim Hyun-sung.
‘Professional athletes usually fight on stage with the determination to die. However, if the moment of death really comes, most people will hesitate. It’s not common for someone to endure the pain and calmly deliver a blow to defeat the opponent even though their arms are broken and their face feels like it’s going to explode.’
Hyunseong Kim was different.
When conducting ground training.
Even though his arm was bent backwards, he didn’t even groan.
With an evil look on his face, he struggled to remove Jeong Doo-cheol’s joints.
I knew then.
He really is.
I was ready to die.
He was the kind of person who would risk his life to defeat an opponent, not just like he did with his fists in the days when he knew nothing. Therefore, Jeong Doo-cheol had no choice but to acknowledge Kim Hyun-seong. Those who trained longer than Kim Hyun-seong would naturally have achieved similar results, but that did not prove that they were stronger.
On stage.
Or if you meet Kim Hyun-seong on the street.
No one can guarantee victory.
What if the other person has the slightest hesitation at the moment of choice where they have to put down their lives and risk their lives?
Hyunseong Kim will raise his fist without hesitation.
Because I will put my own neck at the point of a knife.
It was then.
“and!”
“This is crazy.”
People erupted in exclamations of exclamation.
At the end of their gaze.
Wow.
Shin Chang-hoon was seen collapsing backwards with blood spraying from the powerful uppercut.
