The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 81 - Teamwork (2)

Under the faint moonlight, Kim Suho was walking alone to his dorm room. As he walked along the dark road, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The fight he just had flashed before his eyes. He was flown away helplessly when he was only an inch away from Kim Hajin. Even now, he was unable to understand what attacked him.

Was it a physical attack or an instantaneous emission of magic power? In either case, a mysterious force had struck him away from the battlefield, and Kim Hajin was able to deal a valid blow.

'...I thought I was the only one hiding my power.'

Abnormally high strength would undoubtedly attract unwanted suspicion. As such, Kim Suho had only revealed enough of his power to maintain first place rank in Cube. He was hiding his power for himself, and the only reason he maintained first place was for his family.

'So there was someone else thinking the same thing as me.'

Kim Suho didn't go easy in his fight with Kim Hajin. Still, Kim Hajin managed to avoid his attacks with strange movements. Even now, Kim Suho felt that Kim Hajin's movements were completely mysterious.

It was seemingly mindless and lacking in foundation.

He seemed slow and full of openings, so much so that Kim Suho saw dozens of opportunities to attack. However, his attacks only grazed him or slashed through the air.

Even when he thought it was over, Kim Hajin escaped his range with incomprehensible acrobatics. It seemed like an easy victory at first, but he couldn't close out the fight.

He truly couldn't tell whether Kim Hajin was real or fake.

It was flawlessness masked as weakness.

"...Hm?"

At that moment, Kim Suho heard the sound of a sword cutting through wind. He could even hear a small, clenched shout. The sound was coming from the park near the dorm. Curious, he headed over, whereupon he saw a girl swinging a sword.

It was Chae Nayun.

"What are you doing?"

"...Hyak!"

Startled, Chae Nayun threw the sword she was swinging. The sword flew like a baseball bat and struck a dorm window. Thankfully, the window didn't break, but the cadet inside seemed to have woken up as the lights came on.

"Wh, what!"

"Why are you so surprised?"

"...."

Chae Nayun glared at the sudden uninvited guest. Kim Suho smirked and asked.

"Were you doing sword practice?"

"...Just stamina training."

Chae Nayun unleashed magic power. The sword flew back into her hand following her magic power.

Chae Nayun dusted off the dirt on her sword and pointed it at Kim Suho.

"Where are you coming back from?"

"Me?"

Kim Suho answered honestly.

"I met with Kim Hajin."

Chae Nayun's eyes widened.

"Kim Hajin?"

"Yep."

"...What for?"

Chae Nayun asked as she tucked her hair behind her ears, pretending to be unconcerned. Seeing this, Kim Suho had a mischievous thought.

"We were talking about you."
