Only I Have Two Towers Episode 095

Exchange Meeting

5 minutes before Matsuna Hiyori heard the loud noise.

Jin Seo-hee frowned.

She felt a sharp pain from the blunt weapon grazing her shoulder.

Her opponent was Hosaka Rena, the eldest daughter of Japan’s Ronia Corporation.

A Player who used club-type weapons that suited her burly physique.

“Oh my. Seo-hee, is it over already? Genex gets more pathetic by the day.”

Jin Seo-hee gritted her teeth at Rena’s mocking smile.

She wanted to retort but couldn’t.

Before Jin Seo-hee stepped up, Jin Seo-jeong and Jin Seo-jun had been thoroughly beaten by Hosaka Rena alone.

Swish!

She pulled her body back from the club swinging at her legs.

“Still, you’re better than last time. Did you practice a bit? But you’re still far off.”

Rena roughly swinging her club and Jin Seo-hee desperately deflecting while looking for an opening to attack.

‘I’ll completely smash that pretty face of yours.’

Hosaka Rena hated Jin Seo-hee.

Even though she was clearly much stronger, it was Jin Seo-hee who monopolized popularity in the world.

And today she was particularly irritating.

Last year, she definitely couldn’t even touch her collar.

But this year, she had already allowed Jin Seo-hee several attacks.

Her once overwhelming skill had allowed some degree of pursuit.

Rena couldn’t stand this fact and was furious.

Crack! Thwack! Thwack!

The club and sword clashing roughly against each other.

Jin Tae-gon, watching from a short distance away, let out a sigh.

And beside him, Ronia’s chairman Hosaka Judo raised the corners of his mouth.

“Chairman Jin, shall we stop here? Your granddaughter looks quite exhausted.”

Jin Tae-gon met Judo’s eyes.

Not everyone in the Hosaka family was outstanding.

Excluding Hosaka Rena who was currently sparring, they were at a similar level to Jin Seo-jeong or Jin Seo-jun.

So it was typical for the Hosaka side to send out personnel of similar caliber first.

That way, there would be meaning in introducing and sparring with each other’s martial arts.

But Judo had sent out Rena from the start.

His intention was obvious.

To sweep through all the Jin family members with just one person and show off their martial prowess.

And to beat their rival Genex in the same industry at least once like this.

Of course, they couldn’t blame only Hosaka.

Except for the host family Matsuna, the other Japanese families had shown similar behavior every year.

Thud!

Perhaps from allowing several attacks to her lower body.

Jin Seo-hee fell to one knee from this attack.

Gyuto, standing in the center, looked at Jin Tae-gon.

Jin Tae-gon shook his head at Gyuto who was asking whether to stop it.

Jin Seo-hee was a child with stronger pride than anyone.

If he made her come down by force before she even collapsed, she might be hurt even more.

‘You worked hard, Seo-hee.’

Though she was being pushed back, Jin Seo-hee had improved much more than last year.

He had heard she received guidance from Jinhyeok on the Newcalliope.

Her skills had been improving rapidly since then.

‘If only the exchange meeting had been held a little later.’

He knew it was meaningless, but he still felt regretful.

If there had been enough time, the result might have been different.

Smack!

Jin Seo-hee’s posture crumbled from the strike to her waist.

Jin Seo-hee even dropped her wooden sword, perhaps from exhaustion.

Jin Tae-gon let out a small sigh.

The sparring would end here.

Surely, that should have been the case.

The club flew toward Jin Seo-hee’s face.

Smack!

She reflexively tilted her head back but couldn’t avoid it completely.

Her struck forehead tore and blood gushed out.

“Seo-hee!”

Jin Tae-gon ran over.

“Stop! What are you doing?!”

Gyuto shouted angrily and snatched away Rena’s club.

“Ah! I’m sorry! I was too focused on the sparring… Seo-hee! Are you okay?!”

Rena, who had put on an excellent act, ran over with a worried face.

Jin Tae-gon told Rena to move aside and supported Jin Seo-hee.

The bleeding was considerable, as if it had torn quite deeply.

“Rena, come back here.”

“I’m sorry, Grandfather.”

Rena, who had returned to Judo, stuck out her tongue.

Judo made a satisfied expression, pleased with his granddaughter.

“Well done. Sometimes you need to show clearly. Who’s above whom, who’s the master.”

Jin Tae-gon supported the bleeding Jin Seo-hee as they came down.

He couldn’t ask if she was okay.

Jin Seo-hee was biting her lips tightly even while covered in blood.

He could feel his granddaughter’s tremendous anger from that faint trembling.

Head of family Matsuna Gyuto glared at Judo and Rena with frightening eyes.

‘Such an obvious act.’

He didn’t care what the relationships between families or companies were like.

At least during this exchange meeting, they should maintain courtesy.

Since they had blatantly violated that, he would make them pay the appropriate price.

“Since there’s an injured person, today’s sparring is…?”

Gyuto stopped speaking, a question mark appearing on his face.

The same was true for others who had been watching the sparring.

Everyone’s gaze focused on one place.

“Mr. Jinhyeok…?”

Jin Seo-hee and Jin Tae-gon, who had been leaving the exchange meeting hall, also stopped and turned around.

For some reason, Jinhyeok had his hand raised high.

“What’s going on?”

“If it wouldn’t be rude, could I also participate in the sparring?”

“Why? I understand you didn’t come here for the exchange meeting.”

“I heard the exchange meeting is a place to introduce and exchange the martial arts each person possesses. I also have swordsmanship I really want to introduce.”

Mocking laughter could be heard from here and there.

“Didn’t he say he came to observe following Genex? The kid doesn’t know his place.”

“That’s right. Genex is in that state, so it’s obvious.”

“Do they consider swinging sticks around the neighborhood as swordsmanship too?”

Gyuto, who had been staring at Jinhyeok, shook his head.

The spirit was admirable, but he didn’t want to increase the number of injured any further.

“It aligns with the exchange meeting’s spirit, but…”

“Gyuto.”

Gyuto turned around with a surprised expression.

Gaigun opened his mouth with a good-natured smile.

“Let’s do as that young man wishes. It doesn’t go against the exchange meeting’s purpose, does it?”

Since stepping down from his position, Gaigun had never once interfered with the head’s affairs.

He considered that it would scatter the power that should be contained in the head’s voice.

Gyuto, who understood this better than anyone, couldn’t refuse even more.

“Put on protective gear and come up.”

“Thank you.”

Jinhyeok quickly put on the protective gear and stepped onto the sparring arena.

And he made eye contact with Hosaka Rena, who was looking this way.

“Huh?”

Rena pointed at herself with her finger as if she couldn’t believe it.

When Jinhyeok nodded as if it was correct, Rena burst into laughter.

“So you’re Seo-hee’s boyfriend.”

Rena picked up her club again and walked to the sparring arena.

“Oh my, looks like we’ll have another injured person.”

“Chairman Judo, you should prepare some settlement money today.”

“Heh heh. I’d gladly pay any amount for that kind of settlement money.”

While the old men exchanged words, Rena and Jinhyeok faced each other.

Gyuto approached and spoke while looking at Rena.

“Once is enough for crossing the line. You should be prepared for a second time.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Gyuto, who had given the warning, stepped back and signaled the start of the match.

“You should know when and where to act cool.”

Rena casually lifted her club and tilted her head.

“Attack first. I’ll defend ten times and then attack. Let me see that pathetic swordsmanship of yours.”

“Shall I?”

Jinhyeok smiled and gripped the wooden sword with both hands.

And raised it high into the sky.

“Pfft. Is that all the swordsmanship you wanted to show?”

Once again, sounds of mockery could be heard from here and there.

Whether they did or not.

“Huuuuuu.”

Jinhyeok inhaled deeply and swung the wooden sword he had raised downward with great force.

KWAAAAAANG!!!

A deafening roar echoed through the air.

People reflexively covered their eyes from the wind pressure that engulfed the surroundings.

When they opened their eyes again, only Yoo Jin-hyeok stood alone in the sparring arena.

Hosaka Rena had been sent flying upon impact, breaking through the opposite door and disappearing.

A heavy silence flowed through the exchange meeting hall.

Even though they had clearly seen what happened right before their eyes.

No one dared to accept it.

That this was reality.

“Re, Rena!!”

Judo, who came to his senses first, raised his voice.

The Hosaka family members rushed outside.

Rena, the family’s pride, was foaming at the mouth with her eyes rolled back.

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly at the wall that had been completely pierced through.

‘I, I’ve done it now.’

It was true that he was angry at the Hosaka family for deliberately injuring Jin Seo-hee and giggling about it.

It was also true that he came up here to give them a beating.

But he didn’t know she would go flying away in one hit like that.

Because Jinhyeok had simply swung it the same way he usually did against Seira.

“You bastard…! How dare a nobody like you touch our Hosaka’s eldest daughter!”

The excited Judo glared at Jinhyeok with bulging eyes.

Jinhyeok calmed his mind.

The accident had already been big.

There was no need to make things worse.

Moreover, he remembered what his father always used to say.

-Jinhyeok. You must always respect your elders. Give up your seat on the subway too. Especially for grandfathers and grandmothers.

His father, who valued the Confucian principle of respecting elders.

Remembering those words, he opened his mouth.

“The Hosaka family lineage isn’t much to look at either. Seeing how she got knocked out in one hit by someone like me.”

Jinhyeok didn’t forget to finish with an infuriatingly smug laugh.

‘Father. I’m already speaking casually to someone who’s 3,271 years old. Respecting elders is hopeless in this life.’

The opponent was a rotten grandfather under 100 years old.

There was no reason to hesitate.

Judo’s face turned bright red as he trembled and grabbed the cane beside him.

He felt like he’d get sick from anger if he didn’t beat that bastard with this a few times.

“You, you…!!!”

Jinhyeok watched Judo approaching and raised his wooden sword like he had just done.

Hosaka Judo, who had gotten close, was startled and fell backward on his bottom.

“What’s wrong? I was just stretching.”

At Jinhyeok’s smirk, Judo’s eyes shook terrifyingly.

He could instinctively tell.

It was a lie.

That wasn’t stretching or anything like that.

That bastard was seriously planning to strike him down.

Jinhyeok looked down at Judo for a while, then turned to leave.

“I won’t apologize. You didn’t earlier either, grandfather.”

Judo, who had lost his strength and even dropped his cane, watched Jinhyeok walking away with rough breathing.

Judo, who was born into the prestigious Hosaka family and had never experienced any crisis.

This moment was the first fear of death that Hosaka Judo had ever experienced in his life.

Step. Step. Step.

Jinhyeok, who had been walking as if nothing happened, glanced back.

‘What should I do.’

He squeezed his eyes shut.

It already looked like a building with a long history.

And he had made a very large hole in it.

He tried to estimate the building’s repair costs in his head.

It was the first bankruptcy crisis in a long time since living in the basement.
