Expressionless Awakener

Chapter 32: A Collapsing Labyrinth

[ Expressionless Awakener ]

In this novel's unexpected occurrences, Never would i have known that I would get involved by it, But nonetheless, should i even bother?

'What the-!? Where is he--!?'

It was intense training, Taking glances at many directions while sweating drops of sweat. Even more, Trying to follow Kwan Jihu's Movements before he attacked me again.

Suddenly, He appeared in front of me and punched me right in the stomach, Making me cough out saliva unexpectedly.

"Cough-! ..Cough-!"

'That really hurts....'

No seriously, It hurted so bad, I had to grab my stomach and puke saliva. I thought I would be able to endure this training, But as expected, I couldn't get used to it at all!!

"Tch."
Kwan Jihu twitched his eyes as he glared at me with a disgusted expression, Showing his disappointment very clearly.

"You fell over for such a weak punch? How weak exactly are you?"

Kwan Jihu acted like the usual cold-type in this situation, So obviously he gave such a stern yet aggressive face while speaking coldly.

I covered my mouth as i finished coughing, glaring at Kwan Jihu with a hint of anger while being expressionless.

'This guy... Is he really the main character of this novel?'

Suddenly, The red system appeared in front of me!

[ Don't worry about him Kim! Just ignore him and continue on with the training!! 🥰 ]

[ Yeah! Yeah! ]

The red and blue system replied at the same time, Trying to give me "Confidence" or "reassurance" for my training.

Though i doubt that would do any help.

I sighed deeply as i stood and cleaned off the dirt off my clothes, along with my ahoge drooping.

It's been more than an hour since the first game of the main arena began and it's honestly testing my patience.

The game continued for a long time, and I could tell because of the noises above.

But i didn't get why they're taking too long on the first game.

Maybe it's because of the relentless training that i had to go through, making me want to hope for the first game to end quickly.

I took a glance at Kwan Jihu once more, Hes simply looking at space like usual, Probably hes status screen or something before i looked away again.

I sighed lightly as I sat on the floor, The relentless training already drained out my energy, It's a good thing that i had trained every morning for the last two months, Or i would've passed out due to stress and exhaustion from the lack of exercise.

Even more, I still had to endure a lot of pain from the punches or scratches that Kwan Jihu throwed at me.. It was honestly so brutal I can't tell if this is training or abuse, Thus i don't even know how i'm still alive at this point.

I moved my head slightly and stared at the ceiling for a while, Symbols and drawings of unknown constellations on the ceiling were visible but was almost filled with dust and debri.

It was as if this labyrinth existed before the first dungeon appeared, moreover, the existence of mana...

But that's just a theory i came up with, I doubt it's something true anyway.

'Could this place be some kind of magic labyrinth that was mentioned in the novel before?'

I wasn't sure, I'm the type to be forgetfull in situations I tried to remember, Though Its possible this labyrinth could be a part of the novel before.. I doubt I would remember it, Thus getting myself more unknown thoughts while being blank.
