Chapter 129: Back to Justin Point…

He had an easier time leveling up when his level was low compared to now, where he had to put in so much hard work and dedication just to improve. He went up three levels recently and he still didn’t know when he’s going to hit the fourth or the fifth level. Nevertheless, he chose to keep trying until he got there.

—Wow… I’m nervous.

—What is it?”

The spirit asked.

—Well, I would like to become stronger but how am I going to be able to improve even more of what’s needed?

Jaehwang answered. How could he become stronger without knowing exactly what he needed to do? A hunter’s life could be amazing but it was also very difficult.

—A human’s most reliable foundation of energy is their consciousness. They either succeed or fail because of how they manage their fears.

—Succeed? Fear?

He asked.

—Yes. Fear is the overflowing energy that had been kept inside of us for a very long time. Everyone faces the same difficulties in this field but what sets others apart from the others is how they use that energy. There’s no need for you to worry, you’ll get stronger and all you have to do is wait for it to find you.

—So I just have to wait a little longer until it comes to me?

Jaehwang asked the spirit.

—Right. However, even I don’t really know the details about it.

She replied and Jaehwang looked quite disappointed.

—Of course, it will get a little dangerous but that’s good. So if what you said is right then would I be one of the people who makes it through?

Jaehwang asked as he was trying to get a better understanding of the whole thing that she just mentioned.

—It’s a hard concept to explain, but trust me, you’ll get to understand it in no time once you got it.

—Alright…

Jaehwang replied with an obvious hint of disappointment. It surely wasn’t an easy concept to understand.

“Changmyeon! Come here and eat!”

“I’m not eating!”

“Stop being so stubborn and just come here and eat!”

“Fine!” the mother’s son replied, shouting back at his mother after taking out his earphones.

Changmyeon was listening to a piece of ear-shattering metal music before he had to turn it off.

“I guess I’ll check and see what’s new today.” Changmyeon went to the computer at his desk and went online. He soon saw a lot of newly uploaded videos and photos.

“This one… this one…” He spent some time just clicking around and he then took a deep breath as he leaned back in his chair. “Ah, there’s not much of anything that’s new.”

Changmyeon had always been fascinated by hunters and he spends most of his time watching their raid videos. For years, he had always wanted to be like those hunters that he saw in those videos.

Time would always wilt away whenever he watched those videos. He had worked so hard just to watch them since those kinds of media were restricted on the internet. He was able to work around it but just when he thought that he got past it, it got restricted once again.

“Ugh… I can stand this.” Changmyeon went to a hunter website and clicked a gold button on the right side of the screen.

[Click! Video Number 653.]

After clicking the button, the screen buffered for a few seconds before the next page showed up.

“Great.” He said with a smile as he typed something on the keyboard. “Time to begin.”

Although he had watched the same video a lot of times, he was still amazed as if he watched it for the first time. The video he clicked on had no narration unlike the other videos he had watched.

Did an amateur film it? No way. That video just didn’t need any.

“The filming has begun.” An old man said at the start of the video.

The video was filmed in the Alousu and there was a guy standing alone next to a metal railing, his back was turned away from the camera. He was wearing a long cape that flew with the wind and there was a swarm of Oaks before him, thousands of them. Changmyeon was shaking in fear by just watching this scene.

Teuk teuk teuk!!!!

The mysterious guy began to shoot his arrows and as he watched the video, he thought that maybe he could recognize who this person was.

‘Sho Ha?’

Thousands of them had come but they were all getting shot down. Was it a hunter that he had never seen before in a video? He strongly doubted that it could be a fake one. His hands were sweating at the sight of that video playing for just five minutes, he figured that the guy was unbelievably good at archery.

Kwang kwang kwang!!!!

Even the arrows that he was using were unrecognizable. There was a red light surrounding them as they flew through the air at the speed of light. The Oaks didn’t stand a chance against them.

“Wow…” Thirty minutes later, the video was finished and Changmyeon then wiped away the sweat from his hands. “I can’t just easily turn to another video after seeing that.”

He was always amazed by all the videos he had watched but that one left a really big impression on him. It wasn’t like anything he had seen before. So much was going on in that video and it was all from just one hunter.

Changmyeon then scrolled down to the comment section of the video…

The video had about 400 views and it had already accumulated a lot of comments. He then took his time to read the most popular ones in it.

—Is he using a nuclear weapon for hunters or something? Wow haha. Is this even real?

It was for sure an amazing watch!

—There’s so many people that still haven’t seen this video. This hunter is so talented at using his arrows, it’s unbelievable.

—What an amazing hunter!

—Who could this hunter be?

There seemed to have been a lot of fans in the comment section.

“I’m going to watch this video again,” Changmyeon said before he clicked replay button.

Jaehwang sat down with a runny nose and with a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead. Sitting before him was a guy who had his arms tied.

“Well…”

“You’re always getting in trouble about this. No matter how many days of practice go by, is training to shoot arrows less dangerously in smaller areas that hard?”

There was a big and a heavy bow sitting at the floor beside him.

Deuk! Tong!

He could shoot targets that were 200 meters away from his bow. Unfortunately, the impact was always a little too much for the practice room.

“I guess it really depends on the material of the bow. Why don’t you practice shielding?”

“Yes, sir. I know you’re not into this like I am but do you really have to do archery at all times?”

One of his new arrows was shot into a cover suit and that destroyed it with a huge explosion.

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

He then looked at him with a nervous expression.

“Isn’t it amazing? All this trouble you’ve caused and I’m still not dead yet,” Dongchul said with a mocking tone.

“Shooting like this is fine in a fight but it just won’t do for indoors during practice. Got it? I hope this is the last time that I have to tell you this.”

Dongchul said as he kicked the cover suit further away from him. He was being harsh but it wasn’t for no reason.

“Gosh…”

Jaehwang took a deep breath and stood up from the chair. He got on the treadmill in the room to help himself calm down. First, he started off running slowly and shortly, he began to speed up little by little and soon, he was running for about 40 kilometers.

“Take it easy over there…” Dongchul said as Jaehwang made so much noise with the treadmill.

“Why can’t you just chill a bit during training to avoid damaging our stuff?” Dongchul asked. Jaehwang then looked towards him and replied,

“Why would I do that on purpose?” He answered before he got himself back on the treadmill.

“You’re crazy… What kind of strength are you looking for…” Dongchul mumbled.

A few minutes have passed and it was now time for Dongchul to leave. He looked over at Jaehwang who was still exercising on the treadmill like crazy.

“I’m heading out.”

“See you later,” Jaehwang replied without even turning his head. He then pressed the button on the machine to turn up the speed.

Whoosh…

The machine was going so fast that smoke started to come from out of it, leading Jaehwang to press the stop button along with an anxious thought.

Back to Justin Point… The end.
