"Our b-boss is ten times stronger than us! He'll beat your ass soon!"
And that fatass ran away.
That was a week ago, but Jack was still thinking about it.
He stands quietly in the warm daylight, sunlight streaming across his face as a gentle breeze stirs the air, filling the bright day with a soft, glowing calm.
But he wasn't here for fun.
He's currently at J-High, observing Daniel vs. Zack their first fight.
Well… Daniel beat the hell out of Zack.
Daniel's body:
Strength: S
Speed: S+
IQ: A+
Durability: A+
Technique: F
Endurance: A+
BTQ: E
[Potential: SSS+ — Unawakened]
Perfect body, so he should have top-tier stats… but whatever.
Zack is lying on the ground completely defeated nothing surprising.
Zack's body:
Strength: B-
Speed: B+
IQ: B
Durability: A
Technique: B
Endurance: B
BTQ: A
[Potential: S — Unawakened]
Four hours later, Daniel Park walks out of J-High until a voice stops him.
"I know your secret, Mr. Park."
"W-what? Who?"
Daniel turns, confused.
Jack steps out of the shadows.
"I'm Jack Yu. And I know you have two bodies."
"W-what? I don't know what you're talking about…"
He's obviously lying.
"Daniel… I know you better than you think," Jack says.
"O-okay… how do you know that?"
"I don't need to answer that. Maybe soon I will. But for now, all I can say is… I'll need you in the future."
Daniel's eyes widen—glowing faintly.
"You need me? Why?"
"Something big is coming. Be ready.
Oh, and… if you meet someone named Gunimpress him."
Jack walks away like nothing happened.
A day later, Jack is training boxing with his coach again. At this point, he isn't getting much stronger.
Then Hakju shows up. Strange Jack didn't call him here or tell him he trained boxing.
More like… Hakju followed him.
"Why didn't you tell me you were learning from this old bastard?"
Hakju sounds irritated.
"Um… what do you mean?" Jack asks.
"This damn old-"
Hakju can't even finish before the old man's hand smacks across his face, sending him flying. Then the old man growls:
"You dare to come back here? After everything you did?"
Hakju doesn't answer. He just charges and swings at Jack's trainer.
But the trainer catches his fist and counters.
"You've gotten rusty, you son of a-"
But he doesn't finish either. Hakju punches him again, this time not holding back, sending the man flying.
Before Hakju can continue, Jack steps in, blocking the leader of the Axe Gang's attack.
"What the hell are you doing, Hakju?"
"It doesn't matter…" Hakju mutters.
But the old man spits out:
"That punk is the reason why my gym waa closed and why my students quit!"
"What do you mean?!" Jack demands.
The end bey
