"Oh god-! We're here!! I'm sorry for keeping Wooin away from class for so long. He walked me to the building and I sorta forgot to tell him to go back to class-" I pretended to pant out of exhaustion from running to the gym with Wooin and Jiwoo following close behind. Using any excuse I could come up with at the top of my head for Wooins absence. "Ah-" but I flinched, noticing Giwooks' changed demeanor as he glared at me. "You may be an instructor's assistant but that doesn't allow you to be the cause of a student's tardiness to class" he strictly spoke. Immediately, Wooin stepped up to retort Giwooks statement when I grabbed his arm, stopping him from saying a thing. "Yes. It won't happen again Mr.Jang" I calmly bowed towards him, apologizing for my rash behavior as Wooin furrowed his brows, not liking how I'm in trouble on his behalf when he chose to stay and wait in the first place.

"It's not Kains fau-" I squeezed his arm. "It's fine. Giwook can't punish me harshly anyway" i smiled lightly to Wooin, assuring him it's really okay as I moved away, jogging towards Giwook. "You can talk to me after class. You need to test them right now" I said. Giwook squinted his eyes, a look of slight surprise. "What?" I asked. "How did you know? That I was going to text Jiwoo and Wooin?" Fuck. "It's not too hard to assume. You asked for only them and they're at the top of their class so" I shrugged. Once again coming up with some bullshit reasoning to evade Giwooks suspension. "...alright. Go sit over there" he gestured to the seats. I nodded, glancing at both Wooin and Jiwoo who stood at attention, ready for whatever Giwook will instruct next as I smiled a bit, mouthing a quick "Goodluck" before running off to the side. Excited to watch how it'll play out.

Giwook thought about his conversation with Inhyuk and Seongha in the halls after I had left. Them so confident in both Wooin and Jiwoos abilities, leaving him to believe they're just as good but very skeptical until he experiences it himself. His eyes looked between the two, stopping on Wooin. "Wooin, stand in front of me" he said. "Yes sir" Wooin immediately obeyed, following command. "I heard about you from Seongha. I want to see for myself how strong you are. Attack me" i couldn't help but smirk. To hear this exact scene play out in front of me is amazing.

BOOM!!

I flinched, feeling the absolute impact of Wooins sudden attack on Giwook. The wind hit my face for a split second as my eyes widened. Although i've seen Jisuk and Jiwoo as well as Jisuk and Wooins spar personal and up close, it still shocked me with just how scary yet amazing awakened one's powers truly are. It also reminded me of the power I have. Knowing I can destroy a cliff if I wanted to. But even that drains my power entirely. Still...looking down at my hand, I wondered.

I wondered how Giwook would take my lightning had I hit him with it. Just once.

The room stayed silent for a moment as Giwook had to process Wooins immediate attack. "Now, with something stronger" he said. Closely watching Wooins every move and flicker of power starting to surge throughout his body. This also made me antsy. At first, I so desperately wanted to hide mine. For the sudden change of worlds and shoved into a body that isn't mine. But now, every time I see powers being used. It makes me itch to use mine. I'm a novice, still very new to awakened powers but also very eager to learn and become stronger, strong enough to protect myself. But not strong enough to gain enemy's or challengers. "But then again...with 'my father', I'm bound to always have enemies" I sighed, thinking about Kains dad.

BAMM!!

I flinched, snapping out of my thoughts as Wooin threw a more condensed ball of his power at Giwook. Leaving him in a defensive position, although not completely, he still had his hands up to protect his face. That alone showed just how strong Wooins powers are. This made Giwook grin. This also made me grin. Absolutely proud of Wooin. "Should I make it stronger?" Wooin couldn't help but ask. Seeing Giwook unscathed was a new feeling entirely. "So competitive" I chuckled, also understanding how he felt. Remembering I used to always do my best to beat my hyung up as much as possible because he looked so relaxed despite me using every ounce of strength to make him break a sweat. But as always. It was all for naught. Hyung was just too great.
