Episode 16 – The Fifth Scenario (4)

I gasped and asked, "What? Is it over?"

"No, that is..."

"...Then what am I doing wrong?"

"To be precise..."

"Don't drag it out and tell me quickly."

"It is all wrong."

It was so sincere that I sat down like I had received a nuclear punch. I breathed roughly and looked up at the sky. All of a sudden, the Great Hall floating in the sky seemed bigger. It seemed to be mocking me.

Lycaon looked at me and prepared for the kill.

"Protector... you don't have any qualities suited for Way of the Wind. No, to be honest, you don't have the qualities for almost every skill."

If this went wrong, the world might perish because of me.

A few more hours passed like this and then days went by. There were eight days left until the start of the fifth scenario.

I didn't give up and continued to learn Way of the Wind. Of course, it wasn't possible.

Grrr. "Protector, it is better to give up..."

"...Why can't I learn it?"

Han Sooyoung giggled beside me and said, "Why? It is because you have no talent."

"That isn't possible."

"Why not? You aren't the protagonist. Do you think that you became Yoo Jonghyuk because you have been doing a good job lately?"

My chest was sore like I had been stabbed. I spoke with a frown, "But I understand everything in my head."

"Ah, yes. Everyone thinks they can go to Seoul National University."

"I'm telling the truth."

I remembered most of the enlightenment associated with Way of the Wind. I felt so frustrated one hour ago that I got a second battery from the survivors and read the text again.

"There is a gale in the right hand and a storm in the left hand. The Way of the Wind will be opened when the straight lines and the curves meet."

"H-How... You really understand it!"

Lycaon felt admiration from where he was listening to me.

In fact, the words I just muttered was Yoo Jonghyuk's enlightenment in Ways of Survival. In Ways of Survival, Yoo Jonghyuk gained insight in a single 'phrase' followed by a Chinese character. He learned Way of the Wind in just 5 minutes.

But it wasn't that simple and I had wasted two days already.

"How can I do this?" I grumbled.

"Huh? You just said it... there is no representation more accurate than that."

"No, it was a metaphor."

"Your words weren't a metaphor."

It was enough to make me go crazy. This time the problem wasn't solved by the writer's description in Ways of Survival. It was because the explanation was just complete noise to me and the Fourth Wall was also useless at this moment. Fourth Wall gave me judgment and calmness but it didn't give me talent.

I felt a little feverish as I spoke to Lycaon. "Then you should try this. One wind will meet another wind to form ying and yang. Once again, one wind will meet another wind to form the principles of negative and positive."
