Inhyuk watched Jiwoo and Jisuk square off, a deep worry etched into his brow. The atmosphere in the training arena was tense, charged with anticipation and the latent energy of the two combatants. Jiwoo's determination was evident in his steely gaze, but Inhyuk couldn't shake the feeling of unease.
"Will you be okay?" Inhyuk called out to Jiwoo, his voice carrying the concern he felt.
"Yes," Jiwoo responded, his eyes hard and focused. "I can still fight."
The power behind Jisuk's last attack had been intense, enough to stagger anyone. But Jiwoo, despite taking the brunt of it, remained standing. Inhyuk's mind raced, wondering if Jiwoo had done something to reduce the impact, just as F/N had hinted. Perhaps he had managed to defend himself in a way Inhyuk hadn't anticipated. The thought of Jiwoo's latent potential made Inhyuk's fists clench, his pupils narrowing with intrigue and concern.
Now, even he felt an urge to test Jiwoo's capabilities further.
Jisuk, on the other hand, watched Jiwoo with narrowed eyes, frustration simmering beneath his calm exterior. He knew his attack should have put Jiwoo on the floor. Was Jiwoo's power not just about speed but also about defense? Jisuk grinned, a fierce determination flaring within him. If Jiwoo could withstand that, then he would simply have to hit harder.
Energy began to surge around Jisuk's raised arms, crackling with intensity. Inhyuk observed Jiwoo taking his stance once more, ready for the next round. Despite his desire to see Jiwoo's full potential, he knew that continuing the fight could result in severe injuries for Jiwoo.
Inhyuk's eyes clenched shut as he made a decision. "That will be enough for now," his voice rang out, commanding attention. Jisuk and Jiwoo both turned towards him, surprised. "I have concluded that it will be too dangerous to continue. That will be all for today."
F/N frowned, his gaze hardening as he looked at Inhyuk. "Let them decide that!" he grumbled, his frustration palpable.
"If it's because of me," Jiwoo spoke up, determination lacing his voice. "I can still continue!"
Inhyuk sighed deeply. "Jiwoo, you've done extremely well. You've surprised me. You're a way better awakened than I expected. However, if you continue, you'll be hurt severely." He swallowed, glancing at Jisuk. "Jisuk hasn't even used his power to its full potential yet. But if he does, you're going to get seriously hurt."
"Of course that wasn't his full potential," F/N thought to himself. "The dude's a prick, but he earned his reputation."
He pushed his thoughts telepathically to Jiwoo. "What will you do now, Jiwoo? Will you give up, or will you continue to fight?"
