[124] "All Agreed"

[Han Seongik Office]

Lisa sitting with one leg on top of the other looking at Han Seongik in front of her calmly with a friendly smile.

"I hope you will accept the confrontation between our young men" Lisa commented with a friendly voice and then continued. "I understand that you don't want to accept it, but I think it would be a good experience for both parties."

Han Seongik frowned at such a request.

Lisa sighed and said with a kind tone. "I'm sorry if I scared you, that wasn't my intention, but the last time someone touched me without my permission was in a coffin."

"I hope you accept my sincerity and apology, we came with a friendly tone not mean" said Lisa looking at Han Seongik.

Han Seongik sighed and said with concern in his voice. "Do I have another option?"

"If you don't accept it, I will respect your decision and as soon as we face those young people from the world academy we will leave, the kids will have already spent enough time with Jiwoo" spoke calmly Lisa.

"Let me think about it" said Han Seongik seriously.

Lisa smiles and gets up from the seat and leaves and leaves her words. "Do whatever you want, I'll wait for your answer."

Han Seongik with his ugly face and evident worry sees Lisa leaving.

[Meeting room]

At a table with three chairs on each side sits Giwook, Suhan, Seongha, Inhyuk, Miyoung and Chul in the center of the small room.

"Who was that woman?" asked Miyoung.

They all shook their heads and Suhan added. "We won't know, she said she was coming to see Jiwoo."

Everyone's gaze focused on Inhyuk who shook his head and commented. "I don't know anything about it, the only thing I know is that Jiwoo during these three weeks was training in a place with Mr. kayden and Ares and in that place they were awakened very powers with young talents."

His words made the teachers work in frown and start thinking of hypothesis.

"Are you implying that they could be from that place" Suhan asked.

Inhyuk nodded and added. "I think, they felt the power of that woman was immense, just with her aura I felt suffocated."

The door opens and in walks Han Seongik. As soon as he entered, he made an eyebrow and said. "Don't get up."

He stood at the front of the table with his hands behind his back and his relaxed attitude and looked seriously at the 6 people.

"There is some information you should know, I guess you already know..." commented Han Seongik and then continued. "They want Subin, Jisuk, Sucheon and Gangseok to face their 4 juniors."

The teachers frowned and kept silent as they thought.

"I hope they will say their opinions, we don't know their true intentions, although they were friendly in their talk with me" Han Seongik said calmly and then added in a serious tone. "That friendliness may end at any time, I feel that they are only being friendly to us because of Jiwoo."

"Do we have a choice to refuse her proposal?" asked Seongha with concern.

Han Seongik with his ugly face replied. "He said for us to decide, but... I'm worried about how they will react."

Everyone's faces turned ugly, and their worries were evident.

"What if we talk to Jiwoo?" commented Inhyuk.

"Will it be the best option?" asked Han Seongik.

"Why?" asked Inhyuk hesitantly.

"From what I understand from her, she values strength, if we don't accept her challenge and seek help from Jiwoo it is certain that we will fall to the bottom of status for her" said Han Seongik.

"But... Don't we have an advantage?" said Chul making everyone look, and he lowered his head.

"Explain Chul" commented Seongha.

"Won't you fight the world academy guys first" replied Chul.

....

[In another room]

There was Garrith, Next to him was Andrea and in front of them were Arthur, Duke and Cain.

"I called you here to inform you what you guessed, you three will face three young men from that girl" said Garrith.

Arthur, Cain and Duke frowned.

"We already decided who will fight against whom, you must be very focused and be aware that probably all those youngsters have a power comparable to the top 10 of the world awakened academy if not even stronger..." added with his serious voice, Garrith.

Andrea's face crumpled as she looked at the three of them with her serious attitude.

"Arthur..." commented Garrith and looked at Arthur.

"Yes..." replied Arthur, looking at Garrith.

"You're up against someone named Teresa. You don't know anything about her, so you are going to have to know her power in the middle of the fight... You must be attentive" said Garrith.

Arthur nods and thinks as he clenches his fist. 'I must win... I can't afford to lose again.'

"Duke.." muttered Garrith looking at Duke still bandaged, he added. "Your opponent is Emily."

"Same as before, we know nothing about her, but she must be strong" Garrith informed.

Duke, with his serious eyes, looked at Garrith and heard said. "Don't lose..." making Duke think angrily. 'Damn it Jiwoo... you've caused me a lot of trouble...'

"And lastly, Cain... your opponent is the most complicated one" Garrith said, making everyone frown.

"She is the young lady you already met, Samantha Snyder, daughter of that woman named Lisa Snyder."

"Apparently hand-to-hand combat, but she is the daughter of that woman, and I'm sure.... that she is of a higher level than those in the top 10 of our academy."

Everyone focused their shocked looks on Garrith and he spoke calmly. "That girl...she is strong for her age...you must have the mentality that you will fight the successor of a top 10 world ranking."

Cain earnestly said. "Yes, Grandfather."

"In 3 days will be the fight, Duke, I hope you will recover in time..." commented Garrith looking seriously at Duke.

[Unaffiliated Training Arena]

The awakened youths, both affiliated and unaffiliated, are training with each other.

Jiwoo with a worried face watches Jisuk and Subin fight, while Wooin and Gangseok try to push them away as they are surrounded by many youths.

"Jiwoo" a female voice was heard.

They all look in that direction, including Jiwoo, and see 4 young men approaching them.

Jiwoo is surprised and says. "Samantha? Teresa? James? Emily? What are you guys doing here?"

The four sigh and smile, approaching him.

Samantha, with her hands behind her back and her calm attitude, stops next to Jiwoo while James, Teresa and Emily do the same.

"We've come to see you" Emily commented happily.

James, with a smile, says. "I didn't know those from the world academy had come, how interesting."

Jiwoo shakes his head and says. "Thank you for coming, and James, isn't he entertaining."

"Let me introduce you to my friends." commented Jiwoo and points one by one to Wooin, Subin, Jisuk... and giving them a mini presentation of each other.

Teresa, with interest, looks at the Gangseok, Jisuk, Subin and Sucheon and says. "They are the four you were saying, aren't they?"

Jiwoo, with excitement and a beaming smile on his face, replies. "Yeah."

"They don't look like much" commented Teresa, making everyone frown.

"What did you say" said Jisuk with an angry tone as he tried to grab Teresa's shirt, but as he was about to do so, he pierced her body and suddenly four knives pricked her neck and blood started to drip?

"Don't you dare touch her unless you want to die" James said with a malicious tone and with his hands in his pockets.

Subin and Wooin released their aura and the atmosphere became very tense when Jiwoo quickly said. "Stop it, please."

"James... stop it you just the same, please" Samantha said, looking seriously at James and then James added. "Okay, we just got attacked"

"Relax guys" said Jiwoo as he quickly grabbed Jisuk and pulled him away from them.

"Jiwoo" said Jisuk in annoyance.

Samantha looked at Jisuk who's neck was dripping blood and said. "Sorry...we didn't mean for it to be such an interaction, but...they are quite impulsive. For someone of their status, that's a big weakness."

Teresa smiles and says. "I like him, defending his own, but he'd die if he doesn't know his place."

Jisuk affirmed by Jiwoo says seriously looking at James. "Do you want to fight anytime?"

"Are you sure?" asked James with a smile.

"Yes, are you afraid?" replied Jisuk.

James smiles and says. "If we fight it's not a practice match, you attacked us, and now you are challenging me, I interpret that as a challenge to the death."

"One of us must die for the other to win" James said with a smile of excitement as everyone's faces turned ugly.

"I am willing" replied Jisuk fearlessly.

Teresa affirms James' hand and says. "Mistress Lisa especially said we won't cause trouble when she was gone, you can't kill him."

James looks at Jisuk and says. "You saved yourself.."

"You saved yourself from dying" Jisuk said in a mocking tone.

Samantha looks at Jisuk and says calmly. "Do you think you can beat James?"

"If you die, you are clear that your organization will be next" said in a powerful tone, Samantha and without conveying a hint of fear.

Sucheon, Gangseok, Subin, Wooin furrowed their brows and moved forward a step and stand next to Jiwoo and Jisuk.

Samantha looks at them calmly and then looks at Jiwoo and says. "I guess we won't get along very well with your friends, when you want to talk to us, you know where to find us", without waiting, Samantha turned around and left.

Samantha, James, Teresa and Emily left the training area and all the young people looked at Jiwoo.

"Who are they?" asked Jisuk annoyed, looking towards Jiwoo.

"They are my friends, the ones I told you about" replied Jiwoo.

"They were the ones you were training with" interjected Subin.

Jiwoo nods and replies. "They weren't like that with me, they were always kind and caring."

A silence formed and Gangseok commented. "What organization do they belong to, they dared to say that they could destroy one of our organization when they could."

"They didn't say that" Jiwoo said weakly trying to defend them.

Everyone's eyes focus on Jiwoo.

"Jiyoung is powerful, and they dared to say that to Jisuk" commented Subin.

"Well" said Jiwoo weakly, getting everyone's attention.

"Teresa's older brother has power comparable to the top 40 in the world rankings, while James' older brother is also at that level," Jiwoo noted, scratching his cheek with a thoughtful expression. "But even with Jiyoung's strength, taking on both of them doesn't seem like a task he can handle alone."

The countenances of everyone present clouded over, reflecting their concern and anxiety at his words.

Subin, however, interjected surprisingly. "You are not alone in this," he stated with determination.

Wooin nodded in agreement, while Gangseok expressed his confidence in a serene manner. "I don't think they can take on all the organizations together."

The students nodded in agreement with the two young men's words, fixing their gazes on Jiwoo, waiting for a response from him.

iwoo, in a low tone but audible enough for all, added. "I can't provide too many details, but I can assure you that they are mighty."

Surprise filled the room as Jiwoo continued to share his thoughts. "I hope you can establish a friendly relationship with them. The organizations in this country are no match for their power and influence."

The expressions on the faces of those present grew grimmer.

Sucheon, with an intense gaze, questioned Jiwoo seriously. "Are you sure that we would lose out in a confrontation with them. You know so many of them, and you say nothing?"

Jiwoo nodded solemnly.

Jisuk, though visibly annoyed, looked further for answers. "Jiwoo, why don't you tell us more about them?"

A wrinkle formed on Jiwoo's forehead as his gaze met Jisuk's and in a voice laden with sadness, he replied. "My brother warned me. If I share anything, if they know anything, he will not hesitate to take drastic measures. I am protecting them." As she concluded, she turned and followed in Samantha's footsteps, leaving everyone in stunned silence.

The group watched Jiwoo walk away, their thoughts filled with uncertainty and doubt.

The atmosphere was charged with unanswered questions as everyone considered Jiwoo's words and implications.
