Chapter 62
Of course—Seo Do-hyeok’s right hand gripped a short dagger wreathed in deep blue light.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won studies the weapon now held in another Awakener’s grip, then slams the table with a trembling hand. Bang! ]
[ The Arbiter of Truth presses a temple, declaring with certainty that this is undoubtedly the weapon owned by ** the ***. ]
I couldn’t tell what the redactions meant, but it didn’t matter right now. My eyes stayed fixed only on Seo Do-hyeok’s lips as he continued speaking.
“Just block it like you did before.”
……Ah. I understand.
He means back when we first teamed up.
It seemed he’d come to believe that my blocking his Support Damage that day wasn’t luck—but rather a glimpse of my true self, revealed without meaning to.
‘I thought he’d let it slide because of who he is.’
Perhaps my own carelessness was to blame for what came next.
Though Seo Do-hyeok showed no warning sign, two Ice Spears that had been hovering in the air came hurtling toward me with the force to skewer me whole.
‘……This is going to be difficult.’
My vision still wasn’t fully intact. My knuckles felt swollen.
My limbs seemed reluctant to move freely, as though someone had grabbed hold of them.
Crash!
In the end, I threw myself sideways in a forward roll, barely dodging the Ice Spears.
Dropping to one knee, I spun around and quickly checked the spot where I’d been standing just a second before. But the spear-tips were already there, lodged in the floor and radiating cold.
“Slow.”
In that instant, Seo Do-hyeok’s low voice descended from above my head.
I snapped my gaze upward—he’d already closed the distance from the side, the tip of his short dagger pointed downward, and brought it down toward me without hesitation.
“Hnn—.”
By instinct, I summoned a Greatsword and hastily blocked his strike.
The moment the blades locked, a sharp metallic screech cut through the air, and my spine stiffened.
He was driving his dagger forward with even more force, as though he meant to skewer the space between my brows.
‘Damn, what about my wrists?’
That familiar ache crept back in.
The harder I tried to draw my blade upward, the harder he pressed down.
I couldn’t ignore basic physicality, but he was stronger than I’d expected. Whether it was because he was S-Class and had higher base attack power, or because of the difference between our builds, I couldn’t say—but it was undeniable. At this point, it seemed clear that Seo Do-hyeok had re-awakened not as a Healer protected by others alone, but as a close-range dealer.
“You’re thinking too much.”
Seo Do-hyeok spoke in a tone so casual he might have been discussing the weather. For a moment our eyes met, but maybe that was his intention too. If he so much as shifted his arm from here, the blades could slide apart and he’d land a clean hit.
Whoosh—!
With that thought, my vision immediately shifted elsewhere.
Over his shoulder, a spear-tip glowing white-hot was visible. And it was flying straight toward my right shoulder.
I gritted my teeth and poured more strength into both arms.
This time, unlike before, the broad flat of the Greatsword caught against him so forcefully it briefly blocked our line of sight.
Using the blade to leverage him back, I wrenched my body sideways and hurled myself down.
“Ugh!”
I’m going to scrape myself raw at this rate.
My right arm burned like scalded skin as I skidded across the floor. I braced my left hand against the ground and raised my upper body slightly.
At least my slide had bought me distance from Seo Do-hyeok. But he clearly wasn’t about to give me even a moment to catch my breath.
‘But is he really burning through his Authority like that?’
The short dagger in his grip, judging by the amount of power coiled around its blade, was far from ordinary.
As I watched his fingertips, several spears materialized simultaneously in the space around him.
‘I need to dodge.’
I could have—but my body wouldn’t obey. Two rolling maneuvers had left my stomach in too much turmoil.
Yet even as I was planting the Greatsword to force myself upright, something happened.
‘……What?’
What is he doing?
I’d naturally assumed he’d hurl his weapon at me first.
But Seo Do-hyeok’s next move flew completely against my expectations.
Bang, crash!
A sound so tremendous I nearly clapped my hands over my ears. My body shuddered involuntarily as a bitter cold began to creep in from my very toes.
“Ha.”
A hollow laugh escaped me, and I quickly scanned my surroundings.
‘I never imagined he could use it like this.’
The icy spears were planted in diagonals all around the floor, forming a tight circle that penned me in.
This was exactly the kind of situation that saying deserved: cornered, with no way out.
‘Ruthless, truly.’
I let out another bitter chuckle, using my Greatsword as a cane to support myself as I slowly rose. Even that took effort I could barely muster.
My grip on the sword had been damp with sweat for a long time now.
To make matters worse, I felt my clenched teeth begin to tremble. Between the cold sweat pouring down and the bitter chill radiating from the spear, my already terrible condition was spiraling downward fast.
…….
I ground my teeth so hard my jaw ached. Then I forced every ounce of strength I had into my right hand, gripping the Greatsword.
If I stumbled even once more, I’d become a laughingstock—but at this point, I couldn’t dodge whatever came flying at me anyway.
That’s when I heard footsteps ringing out across the empty space.
Bent slightly at the waist, I only glanced to my left.
From where our blades had last clashed, Seo Do-hyeok’s feet came into view, walking toward me with unhurried ease.
‘God… I’m losing it.’
Then he suddenly closed the distance between us in a light bound, and I reflexively flinched.
He was definitely going to exploit this opening to push me to my absolute limit.
‘…There’s no help for it.’
From what I could tell, Seo Do-hyeok seemed to be aiming for the space between my throat and shoulder.
So instead of lifting my sword, I simply let the tension drain from my arm. The blade that had been holding up my entire upper body let out a sharp creak as it immediately lost its balance.
As my torso collapsed diagonally, my left arm instinctively reached out toward him to catch myself.
‘If he has a conscience, he’ll use a Healer.’
The instant that thought crossed my mind, a sharp pain lanced from shoulder to elbow.
Ugh…….
A helpless moan escaped through my gritted teeth on reflex.
I crashed to the ground and curled inward, my right arm wrapped around my left forearm.
‘Damn, it hurts like hell……!’
This wasn’t intentional—it was an instinctive bodily response to the sudden, searing pain. The sensation spreading through my arm was almost identical to what I’d felt when raked by a monster’s claws.
Something hot seemed to flow down to my elbow.
Which was why, absurdly, I felt my tightly shut eyelashes growing wet.
At least he hadn’t layered any technique on top of it—I could take small comfort in that.
‘Still… I guess that’s something.’
The space around me had gone perfectly silent now, and that freezing chill that had been spreading across the floor had vanished.
I was still crouched down, trying to steady my ragged breathing, when it happened.
Wee-wee-wee—!
A siren wailed across the entire space.
My eyes flew open reflexively, only to find that everything had turned black.
‘What the hell is this now… ugh, I feel sick.’
I was truly at my limit—forget healing, I needed a bathroom first.
Deliberately thinking of other things, I forced myself to raise my upper body, my lower lip clamped tight.
Bang!
“You crazy bastard!”
A sharp shout and a familiar voice erupted at once.
Before I could even turn my head, someone’s presence rushed toward me, and a rough sound cut through the air just ahead.
When I lifted my gaze, I saw Seo Do-hyeok—who had been looking down at me—suddenly shoved sideways with no resistance.
His face, which had been emotionless until moments before, now hung slack, his lips slightly parted as if his soul had left his body.
As if he truly hadn’t anticipated what I’d just shown him.
“You called it training.”
…….
“I told you. Don’t interfere. Just do your job properly.”
Even in the midst of all this, it was unprecedented.
Baek Seon-u had never looked at an opponent with such a cold gaze, his voice so charged with fury.
My eyes naturally drifted from him down to Baek Seon-u’s right hand.
‘Why is it shaking like that?’
Not clenched as if he were about to throw a punch.
In that moment, another presence registered from behind my back, and hands settled onto both my shoulders.
“Ha-ryeong! Oh no… are you alright?”
“Ah…….”
To Im Ji-an’s gentle question, all that came from my lips was a shallow whimper instead of actual words.
I was far from alright—neither my body’s state nor this ice-cold atmosphere felt worth discussing in my current condition.
“Im Ji-an, take Ha-ryeong to the Medical Office right now.”
Baek Seon-u’s voice descended from above my head, pitched unnaturally low.
At the same time, Im Ji-an’s hand slipped around my right forearm, but I gently brushed it away and spoke with effort.
“It’s just a scratch. It’s nothing serious.”
After weakly pushing Im Ji-an away, I drew a long breath and quickly got to my feet.
“Ha-ryeong, wait—!”
As I passed Baek Seon-u, I heard his urgent call behind me, but I ignored it. Then, forcing my trembling legs to move as if they were buffeted by wind, I bolted outside.
Fortunately, the door leading from the Waiting Room into the Hallway opened wide as if it had been waiting for me all along.
‘Please, absolutely not.’
Don’t think sad thoughts, don’t think sad thoughts——!
The moment I stepped into the Hallway, I barely suppressed the nausea rising in my throat, then poured every last scrap of strength I had left into running somewhere, anywhere.
Now the only thing left was to prevent the creation of my own dark history.
C-Class, yet all S-Class Awakeners are obsessed with me
