The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 218: The Prelude to Danger

After the terrorist attack on Stardus, I rested at home and then busied myself with various tasks.

One significant change recently was that...

"Eup!"

"Wow, you dodged this?"

I had been training alongside our Ego Stream members.

"Why are you suddenly testing your abilities, even though you've been coaching us all this time?"

Choi Sehee asked as she threw lightning attacks at me while we practiced in a forest near my home.

"Just in case."

I replied with a shrug.

...Actually, the news of the recent arrest from the day before had put me on edge, which was the real reason behind my decision. Nevertheless, I had been thinking about enhancing my abilities for some time now. As society continued to become more chaotic, it was essential to be prepared in advance.

With that in mind, I decided to test my evasion ability. When Choi Sehee launched lightning attacks at me, I used my teleportation to dodge them.

The results were impressive.

"...You dodge really well."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. I mean, I really went all in at the end but how did not a single one hit you?"

Choi Sehee, still panting from the training, had beads of sweat on her forehead. Even though the weather was chilly, she seemed to have anticipated the physical exertion and dressed lightly.

"Phew... That was exhausting."

"I'll heal you up. Both of you, wait a second."

Ha-yul said, extending her hand, and a warm, comforting energy enveloped both Choi Sehee and me.

"Phew, I feel much better now. Thanks."

Choi Sehee, who had been struggling earlier, let out a relieved sigh. I also felt much lighter than before and flexed my muscles. Indeed, Ha-yul was the best. It might be a bit imbalanced to receive healing from someone of Ha-yul's treatment, but as long as she was satisfied, it was fine.

With the training concluded, we had a conversation as we walked back home.

"I mean, you're really good at teleporting. It's almost like you have a sixth sense. Do you even need more training?"

"That's right, Da-in. It was incredible to watch."

"Really?"

I took a moment to reflect on my performance earlier, especially when I had been dodging Choi Sehee's lightning bolts. I had reasonably good control, given the substantial energy consumption associated with teleportation. However, I realized that occasional practice was necessary to maintain my skill, as I had felt a slight dizziness in my head after the recent bout. Thankfully, Ha-yul's healing had largely alleviated that issue.

"...Nevertheless, I should practice teleportation occasionally to maintain my ability. If I don't use it often, I might lose my edge."

I could accumulate some stacks and train with moderate-distance teleports.

"True. That's why I also periodically use my abilities."

Choi Sehee nodded earnestly.

...Actually, I had a feeling she just enjoyed blasting everything with lightning.

Anyhow, teleportation was working just fine. I considered my other abilities, like telekinesis, but it was best used for firearms or weapons. It was relatively weak on its own.
