[63] "Jiwoo v/s Jisuk"

[At Shinhwa's training center].

Jiwoo found himself in the center of the fighting arena, waiting for Jisuk's arrival. Inhyuk and Jiyoung are angry that Jisuk is nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile Kayden is in a corner quietly waiting for the showdown to begin.

Jisuk arrived and quickly got into position to start the confrontation.

Inhyuk immediately gave the start signal, Jiwoo ran towards Jisuk with superhuman speed.

Jisuk attacked his wind powers to try to stop Jiwoo, but it wasn't enough, Jiwoo kept advancing towards Jisuk, dodging his opponent's wind attacks.

Finally Jiwoo threw a powerful punch towards Jisuk's face, who quickly created a wind barrier to protect himself.

From the outside Inhyuk and Jiyoung were surprised by the speed shown by Jiwoo.

Jisuk was similarly impressed by Jiwoo's speed, so he decided to increase his own.

He generated wind at his feet and disappeared in front of Jiwoo, only to appear behind him at high speed and throw a punch straight at his face.

But Jiwoo reacted quickly, increasing his speed even more and fading into a blurry silhouette.

Then, he appeared and throwing a punch at Jisuk, a wind arose around his fist that slowed down his attack, Jisuk managed to parry it millimeter by millimeter.

Inhyuk observes and thinks. 'His speed is incredible, it's much faster than I thought.'

Jiyoung raises an eyebrow watching the events of the fight unfold.

Very angrily, Jisuk threw several gusts of wind in all directions, forcing Jiwoo to back up and take cover to avoid the impact. The air was filled with the sound of the strong winds, as both young men prepared for the next move.

Jisuk threw a strong wind in all directions, glaring at Jiwoo angrily.

'I am one of the young...of the most promising young men in this nation and yet here I am, fighting unaffiliated individuals...', he thought to himself.

Inhyuk thinks. 'Jisuk must be angry, he has never suffered so much against another awakened one of his age even though against Wooin he keeps saying it was just because he was unprepared and doesn't accept the truth'

Jisuk couldn't hold back anymore and the wind blew out, making Inhyuk and Jiyoung's clothes flutter and forcing Jiwoo to cover his face.

Kayden, in the corner unfazed by the wind, as he thinks to himself. 'That kid is pretty powerful for his age'.

Jiwoo looked at Jisuk with a serious expression and in response, Jisuk quickly launched two tornadoes of wind towards him.

Jiwoo moved quickly, dodging them with his super speed.

But just when he thought he was safe, he found himself surrounded by four tornadoes. Jiwoo couldn't react in time and had to shield himself, taking the full brunt of the winds.

When the dust cleared, Jiwoo became visible and was left with cuts all over his body and blood on his face.

The training area below him had cracked a little from the force of the impact.

Jisuk looked at Jiwoo, feeling a sense of satisfaction from his victory.

"This is our difference, we are different," Jisuk said arrogantly.

Inhyuk interrupted and said. "Let's stop the fight until here."

Jiwoo stood up and raised his fists, saying seriously. "No, I can still keep fighting."

Inhyuk raised an eyebrow and said. "But Jiwoo..." and thought. 'Does he really want to continue? His injuries are quite serious'.

Jisuk smiled and said. 'You heard it, he wants to keep fighting.'

Jiyoung looked seriously at Jiwoo and did not comment on the matter.

Jiwoo assumed a combat stance, looking straight at Jisuk with determination etched on his face.

Without further hesitation, Jisuk unleashed three blasts of wind towards Jiwoo, but instead of dodging, Jiwoo stood his ground and waited for them to approach.

Just as the attacks were about to hit him, Jiwoo disappeared from sight and reappeared in front of Jisuk with incredible speed. A flurry of powerful blows landed on Jisuk's stomach, causing him intense pain.

In response, Jisuk retaliated by launching a gust of wind towards Jiwoo, but to his surprise, Jiwoo disappeared once again, leaving him disoriented. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by another sharp blow to the right side of his abdomen, forcing him to stagger backwards.

Jiwoo and Jisuk took a deep breath, their eyes fixed on each other.

Inhyuk and Jiyoung were shocked to see Jisuk with blood dripping from his mouth and cuts on his body.

Inhyuk muttered in amazement. "Jisuk."

Jisuk felt a sharp pain in his head. 'That fucker hit me right in the head...', he thought.

On the side, Kayden flashed a devilish grin and thought. 'Well done, that punch hit him pretty hard.'

Inhyuk quickly intervened and said. 'We'll leave it until here for the confrontation, both of them are in very bad condition.'

Jisuk, with his serious face, said. "No, let me go on. He fought with injuries and you're going to stop him just barely, I'm injured, you mean I can't get injured in a fight?".

Inhyuk was silent for a moment and thought. 'In a real fight, you are sure to suffer injuries, but in a friendly confrontation, it's better to safeguard the health of both of us.'

Inhyuk looked at Jiyoung and she nodded, giving permission for them to continue.

Inhyuk looked at the two and asked. "Do you want to continue?"

Jiwoo nodded and said. "Yes, Mr. Inhyuk."

Inhyuk looked at both of them and warned. "If I see that the injuries of either of you are much more serious, you will stop the fight immediately."

Jiwoo, with his body full of cuts and his face covered in blood, stared at Jisuk, who was also covered in blood and his clothes tattered.

'I have to attack with everything I have and I don't want this confrontation to last much longer,' Jisuk thought.

Suddenly, sharp wind thorns appeared around Jisuk, causing Jiwoo to look at them with concern.

He recalled Kayden's words. 'When the time is right, put all your energy into an attack, bet everything on that attack, trust that you can, you are no longer a person who hid and was afraid of being discovered for your powers, you are an awakened one and you can be proud of that'

'Yes, I must not run away, I am an awakened just like Also and my brother' thought Jiwoo with determination on his face.

Just when the wind spines were a millimeter away from his body, he disappeared and appeared next to Jisuk, launching a powerful blow wrapped in electricity towards his ribs.

Jisuk was dumbfounded at Jiwoo's speed and strength.

He tried to react, but it was too late. Jiwoo's punch hit him and sent him crashing to the ground before bouncing off and embedding into the wall.

Jiwoo fell exhausted and badly injured, his body full of cuts and blood, and his right arm completely burned and broken.

Inhyuk and Jiyoung were shocked by the speed and strength shown by Jiwoo during the confrontation.

Jiyoung frowned as she noticed the electricity in the last attack, which worried her even more.

Inhyuk, alarmed, rushed out to Jiwoo to make sure he was okay. "Jiwoo, are you okay?" asked Inhyuk worriedly.

Meanwhile, Jisuk was breathing heavily, barely staying on his feet and realized that his ribs were broken. 'That damn blow... I can't let this end here,' Jisuk thought with determination as he struggled to get up.

At that moment, Jiyoung arrived and declared. "The standoff is over."

Jisuk tried to protest, staggering and feeling immense pain in his ribs, but Jiyoung affirmed him and explained that he could not continue the confrontation, just like Jiwoo.

Jisuk looked down at Jiwoo's battered body on the ground and realized he was right.

Inhyuk was very concerned about the severity of Jiwoo's injuries and knew that he needed medical attention immediately. "His body could not withstand that last attack and it is quite possible that his arm is severely damaged. I must rush to the hospital," Inhyuk thought as he rushed to help Jiwoo.

From his position on the side, Kayden watched Jiwoo's unconscious body with a devilish smile on his lips. 'Nice attack, you didn't disappoint me, kid. You're awesome,' he thought to himself as he felt satisfied with Jiwoo's performance in the battle.
