Before Hyeonwoo's hiding:
The mechanical voice echoed in Hyeonwoo's mind, prodding at old wounds.
Voice: Reminds you of her, right?
Hyeonwoo grimaced, hating the voice's persistence.
Hyeonwoo: Can you stop reminding me of her?
The voice let out a mechanical chuckle, amused as it watched the scene unfold.
Voice: Compared to the rest... Jisoo takes the spotlight.
In his mind, the stats of Hyun Jisoo flashed.
Hyun Jisoo: 176 cm, 63 kg
Strength: A+ Speed: S Potential: A Intelligence: C Endurance: A
Voice: Compared to the rest, Jisoo is a genius.
Hyeonwoo scoffed in response.
Hyeonwoo: A genius at being a problem.
The memory shifted, pulling Hyeonwoo back to the gym. The coach's voice barked across the room.
Coach: JISOO! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT FIGHTING?!
Jisoo, looking slightly guilty, muttered under her breath.
Jisoo: Hold... back?
Coach: YES!
Jisoo slunk away sadly, casting a glance toward Hyeonwoo as the coach went to help the injured student.
The voice persisted in Hyeonwoo's mind.
Voice: He knows it.
The voice seemed to merge with the coach's internal thoughts.
Voice/Coach (internally): "I can't keep holding Jisoo back in this small place."
Hyeonwoo clenched his fists.
Hyeonwoo: I could beat her.
Voice: You could?
Hyeonwoo: Fighting is about using your noggin.
Voice: Then you shall.
Hyeonwoo hesitated, unsure of the direction this was taking.
Hyeonwoo: What?
Suddenly, the voice's tone shifted, modulating to sound just like Hyeonwoo's.
Voice (modulated to Hyeonwoo's): I could fight Jisoo!
A notification appeared before Hyeonwoo's eyes, announcing a quest.
<Side Quest: Fight and win against Jisoo Hyun>
<Reward: 1 Gold Card>
Hyeonwoo's eyes widened in surprise.
Hyeonwoo (internally): YOU COULD DO THAT?
