Only I Have Two Towers Episode 096

I’ll Show You

Hiyori, who had arrived at the Exchange Meeting Hall, let out a hollow laugh.

Even seeing it with her own eyes, she wondered if this was real.

First of all, the Exchange Meeting Hall had gained another entrance.

‘Nice.’

The original entrance made hundreds of years ago was far too small.

Now it seemed they could enter and exit much more comfortably through the new entrance.

‘The one lying collapsed there.’

Hosaka Rena.

A fox who played the role of a tiger at exchange meetings when Hiyori wasn’t present.

She must have been slammed quite hard, as deep cracks had formed in the wall as well.

But still, it was puzzling.

Who could have done this to Hosaka Rena?

As far as Hiyori knew, there was no one among the heirs participating in the exchange meeting who surpassed Rena in combat ability.

Unless someone from another family had achieved something ridiculous in the span of a year, or a newcomer that even Hiyori didn’t know about had appeared.

“Hey, Hosaka youngest.”

She called out to Rito, who was busy supporting his older sister.

“Who’s calling when I’m busy…?!”

Rito, who was about to get annoyed, sucked in a breath.

Japan’s official Player ranking 7th place.

Undefeated since participating in exchange meetings.

A real tiger, not a fake one, had appeared.

The Hosaka heirs lowered their eyes and watched Hiyori’s mood.

A completely different appearance from their earlier arrogance.

It couldn’t be helped.

If they crossed Hiyori, who had a fiery temperament, they wouldn’t even be able to collect their bones that day.

Hiyori pointed at the blood-covered Rena.

“Who did this?”

“Ge, Genex’s Jin Family.”

“What?”

That couldn’t be right.

Jin Seo-jun, Jin Seo-jeong, and Jin Seo-hee.

The youngest showed quite a bit of promise, but wasn’t at the level to beat Rena yet.

“Which of the three?”

“It’s someone else. A close acquaintance they said they brought specially just for today.”

“What’s the name? No, wait, can’t you just say it all at once? Why do I have to ask like we’re playing twenty questions? So frustrating.”

“So, sorry! His name is Yoo Jin-hyeok, a guy around our age.”

Hiyori narrowed her eyes.

It was a name she’d never heard before.

Just then, Rena, who had regained consciousness, looked up at Hiyori.

“Mo, move aside Hiyori… Don’t you… see my condition?”

Irritation surged up.

Her whole body hurt as if it were broken, yet she was asking about such things.

Hiyori looked down at Rena.

Hiyori drew her characteristic sneer.

“Hosaka Rena, the epitome of being strong against the weak and weak against the strong. Looks like you met a proper opponent.”

“What…”

“Don’t exaggerate. You won’t die from that much. And.”

Hiyori’s face hardened coldly.

“You’ve gotten quite bold. Giving me orders to move aside.”

It seemed she had been away from the forest too long.

Seeing a fox who couldn’t even make eye contact acting like this in front of a tiger.

Rena, who had sucked in a breath, immediately lowered her eyes.

She had momentarily forgotten.

That the one standing before her was the monster Matsuna Hiyori.

“Tsk.”

Hiyori shook her head and walked toward the Exchange Meeting Hall.

Unlike the outside, the inside had the atmosphere of a funeral home.

People who only watched each other’s reactions and couldn’t easily speak up.

She looked around, but there were no unfamiliar faces.

She walked over to her father, Matsuna Kyuto.

“Where is he? The protagonist of this chaos.”

“He’s not here. The Jin Family’s youngest is receiving treatment, so he’s probably there.”

Hiyori nodded and turned around.

She had no intention of delaying.

She was going to go right away.

“Hiyori.”

Just then, former head Gaigun called out to stop Hiyori.

Gaigun shook his head with the most benevolent face in the world.

The Genex side would be just as frantic as this side.

He couldn’t send a bomb like Hiyori there.

Hiyori sighed deeply and shrugged her shoulders.

Though she was famous for usually not listening to words, she always followed her grandfather’s words well.

“Ah, I should have participated today. I missed an interesting show.”

Hosaka Judo’s face twisted frighteningly.

But he didn’t carelessly speak out.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of Kyuto or Gaigun.

Matsuna Hiyori, called Japan’s unpredictable number one.

She was that unpredictable of a person.

If he said something wrong, it wouldn’t be strange at all for a fist to fly at his face.

Hiyori, who had given up on going to find Jinhyeok, approached Gaigun.

And asked.

“Grandfather. Who’s stronger?”

Hiyori asked a raw question with an innocent face.

It had been a long time.

Since his granddaughter had made such an expression.

When Gaigun didn’t answer for a while, the corners of Hiyori’s mouth turned up.

“Okay.”

Gaigun said nothing.

But it was more than enough as an answer to the question.

At least as far as Hiyori knew, it had never happened before.

Matsuna Gaigun hesitating this much over an answer.

‘Interesting.’

Her heart began to race.

The mysterious companion who came with the Jin Family, Yoo Jin-hyeok.

She wanted to see him quickly.

The makeshift hospital located in a shrine.

Like the Exchange Meeting Hall, a heavy silence flowed here as well.

Surely everyone had come to check on Jin Seo-hee, who was receiving treatment.

The eyes of the Jeonseok Family were focused not on Jin Seo-hee, but on Jinhyeok.

Even Jin Seo-hee, who was in the middle of having her forehead bandaged, couldn’t take her eyes off Jinhyeok.

‘I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.’

Jinhyeok had previously single-handedly dealt with external enemies on the Newcalliope, and had demonstrated inexplicable abilities like freezing the sea.

Having seen this, they knew better than anyone that he was strong.

But even so, they were surprised.

The Newcalliope and the exchange meeting were different situations.

He couldn’t use hidden abilities or receive help from anyone else.

It was a place where only pure personal martial prowess could be used, yet he had produced such results against Hosaka Rena.

It was difficult to gauge just how much pure martial power he possessed.

“Seo-hee. Are you feeling alright?”

Jinhyeok, who broke the silence first, examined Jin Seo-hee’s wound.

“I’m fine. I didn’t take a direct hit after all.”

“That’s a relief.”

At Jinhyeok’s smile, Jin Seo-hee smiled back as well.

Honestly speaking, the pain in her forehead didn’t matter at all.

-Kwaaaaang!!

It was still vivid in her memory.

The sight of Hosaka Rena spectacularly breaking through the wall.

It was such a refreshing and satisfying scene that she felt she’d never forget it until she died.

Slide.

The sliding door opened and Gyuto, the head of the Matsuna Clan, entered.

Jinhyeok took a sharp breath.

The most frightening presence in the current situation had appeared.

‘How much will it be?’

Depending on the circumstances, he might have to ask the Hunter Bureau for help.

With his current bank balance, it would be impossible to cover that centuries-old traditional building.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine. I received good treatment too.”

Gyuto nodded and looked at Jin Tae-gon.

“I’m ashamed that such a thing happened at the exchange meeting.”

“It’s a place where martial arts are tested against each other, so it’s something that could easily happen.”

“Thank you for saying that. Originally, I was thinking of demanding compensation from the Hosaka side. The final attack had too obvious an intent. But…”

Before Gyuto could finish speaking, Jin Tae-gon shook his head.

“Let’s treat it as if nothing happened. Seo-hee wants that too. Above all, considering only the extent of injuries, we should be the ones paying compensation.”

Jinhyeok straightened his posture, feeling uncomfortable.

He wondered if this was what being on pins and needles felt like.

“Hosaka won’t make any more issues of it either. It’s like they exchanged one blow each. Though one side hit considerably harder.”

Another pang of discomfort.

Just as cold sweat began to seep down his back, Gyuto turned his gaze.

“Could you tell me your name once more?”

He asked again despite already knowing it for a specific reason.

When Jinhyeok had first introduced himself, Gyuto hadn’t listened carefully.

A man who had visited for purposes other than martial exchange.

He had thought he would surely be some nobody.

“It’s Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

“I’m Matsuna Gyuto.”

Unlike before, Gyuto offered a handshake.

Gyuto had only seen a single swing, but it was enough.

That wasn’t something that could be created through just a day or two of training.

Considering that class abilities are limited by synchronization rate, it wasn’t something possible just by raising levels and learning skills.

Endless contemplation and training in martial arts.

It was a sword technique that was only possible with these.

“I want to apologize first. For judging you on my own.”

Jinhyeok wasn’t some nobody.

He was a true martial artist who not only loved martial arts but could polish and make them shine.

“Not at all. I’m the one who should apologize for making a mess of the exchange meeting hall.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. It was a building that needed to be torn down and rebuilt someday anyway.”

Gyuto let out a bittersweet sigh.

He even thought it had worked out well.

The exchange meeting hall had been too old and had many problems everywhere.

He had known it needed fixing but had kept putting it off because it seemed to damage the family’s tradition.

‘What a thing to see in my lifetime.’

Jin Tae-gon, who had been watching this scene, smiled faintly.

That stubborn and rigid Matsuna Gyuto had not only apologized but was acknowledging someone to this extent.

It was a story that people wouldn’t easily believe even if told.

Clench.

Jinhyeok, facing Gyuto, quietly clenched his fist.

‘Nice.’

All the plans he had thought of, from personal rehabilitation and bankruptcy to taking out loans from the Hunter Bureau, could probably be scrapped.

“Chairman Jin. May I take this young man away for a moment?”

Jin Tae-gon nodded.

He knew what that meant.

Jinhyeok, who also realized it, exhaled roughly through his nose.

At this timing, there was only one reason why Gyuto would take him away.

“Then rest well and let’s meet tomorrow.”

After greeting Jin Seo-hee and the Jeonseok Family, Gyuto turned to leave.

Jinhyeok also bowed his head and followed Gyuto out.

Hoping that what he wanted would be at the place they were going.

The Matsuna Clan shrine became quiet as if it had never been noisy.

Jinhyeok followed Gyuto across the tranquil garden.

‘Oh. Fireflies.’

The lights dancing before his eyes and the sounds of insects from the surroundings.

Just walking was all he was doing, but it felt healing.

Gyuto, who had been walking quietly, opened his mouth.

“Are you affiliated with Genex?”

“No. It’s a personal connection.”

“I see. Then where are you affiliated?”

“Nowhere.”

It didn’t make sense.

A Player with such martial prowess having no affiliation.

Before Gyuto could ask his next question, Jinhyeok spoke first.

“I have no affiliation, but I can’t belong anywhere. I made such a promise.”

Thinking ‘that makes sense,’ Gyuto smiled.

“I hope you don’t misunderstand. I’m not cunning enough to secretly bring you out to make a recruitment offer.”

It was pure curiosity.

Curiosity about who could possibly have such talent.

Gyuto, who had been walking like that, stopped in front of a certain door.

“You have the qualifications. So let me show you. The pride of our Matsuna Clan…”

“You are worthy. So let me show you. The pride of our Matsuna family….”

Gyuto, who trailed off his words, threw open the door.

“Yodo Muramasa.”
