  “What do you think?.”


  “.……”


  Jaehwang looked at the old man and took a deep breath. He really wanted to make the deal but he still didn’t have an answer. It wasn’t a bad suggestion and maybe he could find what his real energy looked like over time.

  Jaehwang stepped back from GwanJae.

  “A level four license takes a lot of experience and If I didn’t have the right skills, then I wouldn’t be able to do it.”


  “The right skills…… What kind of skills do you think that is?”


  “.……Battle skills.”


  GwanJae gave him a nod. That was right. Some would just adjust to those conditions but some didn’t have the abilities and confidence to reduce that gap. He was still wondering how would Jaehwang fight in a real situation.

  “Right. Maybe a hunter’s nature is to fight. What’s your nature?”


  “I’m just an applicant.”


  GwanJae laughed at his answer. He wondered if that was a joke and he just gave him a compliment just to be sure.

  “I wondered who you were when I first saw you.

  Everyone in the building understood what he meant except Jaehwang. He talked about their match for about twenty minutes. He pondered for a moment if he brought that up to look down on him, he didn’t really know why he did that in the first place.

  “Who are you?”


  “.……”


  “.……”


  “You don’t know me?”


  “No……”


  Everyone in the facility had an unpleasant look on their faces. They were surprised that there was someone in Korea that didn’t know GwanJae.

  “Are you a foreigner?”


  “No……”


  “How could you not have heard of me before? You haven’t seen any of the six movies that I was in? You haven’t seen me on TV? Nothing about me had come up in your textbooks?”


  Jaehwang scratched his head in confusion. He only used his textbook as a pillow and he hasn’t really watched that much TV or movies. The spirit might have seen him before but then again, there was no way he could have known since he spent all his time shooting arrows.

  “Wait, so why do you think that you deserve a level four hunter license?”


  GwanJae looked around with a tired look on his face. Everyone just shook their heads, they knew what Jaehwang meant and GwanJae kept his silence until he spoke once again.

  “If you give me a few examples then I’ll try to give an answer.”


  “Tell me.”


  “It would be wider in here next time so I hope that everything would turn out to be brand-new”


  GwanJae then started to smile. He actually didn’t even think of that, the people that he asked didn’t really wish for these kinds of things.

  “That’s very good. Enclose everything!”


  “Jeonmyeong!”


  GwanJae’s people walked behind him and all the doors of the activity center were all shut in.

  “Okay…… Is this how it’s gonna go?”


  Jaehwang’s mind turned blank for a moment after GwanJae’s question. It looked like everything and everyone had disappeared at that moment. He thought that he would die but besides that, he just smiled knowing that he would destroy anyone that would come near him.

  “To them, what Mr. GwanJae meant was not directly mentioned but they did figure out what he was trying to say.”


  He heard Jaehwang calling him ‘Mr. GwanJae’ and he became happy deep inside. He wasn’t actually planning to murder him. He only wanted to test Jaehwang’s disposition……

  “Really? Hm…… Okay. Rumi.”


  “Yes!”


  Someone standing behind him then shook their head and left.

  “That’s it for your license test. Everything related to this kid should be gone and another thing that you should know, my name is something that you shouldn’t speak off.”


  “Jeonmyeong!”


  The person named Rumi who stood behind him spoke through a small mic and everyone in the center fell down as if they were hit by a tidal wave. Everything went along as planned, the others were swept away like some curse had been poured out. The voice did reach Jaehwang, but it did not have any effect.

  “Done?”


  “Yes.”


  Everyone was left unable to move and Jaehwang just turned around and walked out of the activity room-

  Will you help me?

  Jaehwang asked to the spirit-

  No…… You are your final fortress.

  He could show his abilities as well as her existence and her genuine strength but he knew that he would have to keep it secret until the finale-

  I guess we could both agree. Goodluck-

  I know.

  She just had enough to share even though he didn’t really get that much help from that spirit. Her strength and the energy of his ancestor’s archery skills could boost his power up to 150%. They had to fight for so long and they had learned how to maximize his hand and eye coordination.

  After walking at the end of the activity center, he looked over to Gwanjae and took out his cover protection.

  “Hm……”


  GwanJae got nervous when he saw Jaehwang get his arrows. The bow had an odd shape and he couldn’t really think about what his plan was. The arrow felt modern and there was a monster’s byproduct that looked loose as it fastens his red cover suit.

  “Are you going to use that?”


  “Yeah.”


  “It looks special.”


  GwanJae slowly got himself together as he looked at his arrow. He wondered why he was using an arrow instead of his special skill. He didn’t know if the arrow would be stronger or could fly farther, he didn’t even recognize what type or what brand that was.

  “Hue……”


  He became even more curious when Jaehwang pointed his hand towards him.

  “I don’t have any mana left to use so I figured that I could show you a little of my strength.”


  “Thank you……”


  He wasn’t sure of what GwanJae’s plan was when he answered back, Jaehwang just kept his firm grip at the arrow as he continued to give him a curious look.

  “I didn’t know that you had such a special weapon.”


  “It’s personally customized.”


  “Huh…… Can you tell me about it later? I want to get me one too.”


  “Sure.”


  They exchanged a few words before Jaehwang made a move to start their second match.

  Pa! Pag!

  He aimed the arrow at his face and GwanJae immediately moved his head to avoid it. GwanJae thought that he was safe but the two arrows that were right in from of him still landed on his head.

  Papapag!!!

  A third arrow then followed at the second he closed his eyes. It felt like he was walking towards the direction of his arrows. He first thought that it was supposed to be an ability, but then he realized that it was solely Jaehwang’s pure shooting skills.

  “I didn’t know you were this good!”


  Papapag!

  Everyone might think that it hit but GwanJae actually disposed of all the arrows with his hand. He immediately thought that he either had a special way of shooting or there was an automatic operation launch setting with his bow. The arrows that he intercepted were fast, he couldn’t even see him aiming but the arrows are still going for his key locations.

  “I have it too!”


  He didn’t think how dangerous his attacks could be and it wasn’t long before he started his assault. GwanJae dashed towards him and deflected all the arrows that were coming his way, his mysterious movements made the arrows looked like they were just bouncing off of him.

  Jaehwang then ran to the side to increase the distance between them as he kept it coming. The problem was not the distance, the thing that troubled him the most was that GwanJae no longer looked nervous.

  ‘So this is what it was. That footwork is amazing!’


  GwanJae upped his gear one step higher and went even faster. It appeared as if there was electricity running all over his body but he didn’t have that kind of power. He didn’t want to make a ridiculous mistake inside that room so he just misdirected everything that Jaehwang threw at him.

  The distance then became shorter. He shot him with the most fatal weapon that he had but like everyone else, he also had a different tool in hand.

  Pag!

  He pulled back the string and took a shot at his head. He had no mana left to improve its power so he had to draw the bow with his raw strength with such a small window. One or two of his bones broke at that moment, he would have died instantly without his determination and luck.

  Swoosh……

  Jeahwang spread his arms further until the bowstring had met its limit. He knew that his arrows would be weak if shot in a short distance but to others, it was strong enough to even be considered as a standard.

  Pag!

  He felt a sharp pain at the bottom of his chin coming from the silence arrow that he deflected with his hand. The distance was short enough for him to miss the shot. When he saw that he was able to block it, he jumped back and then again stretched his arm as he widened the distance between them.

  Two arrows came flying through the air. It looked like he could hardly dodge them……

  “Wow, you’re so good at this.”


  Pag!

  GwanJae stomped the floor to propel himself forward, shattering the tiles with a force comparable to bomb. He swept the two arrows away with the back of his hand to close the gap between them.

  “Is that it?”


  Sweat dripped down from Jaehwhang’s forehead when he saw GwanJae avoid his attack at point blank range.

  “Can borrow that thing that you have?”


  He gathered both his hands into a fist in anger and quickly ran towards Jaehwang who shot another arrow as soon as he saw him move. It turned out to be a game of tag but after he thought about it, he realized that their actions turned out to be a little bit extreme which made it awkward.

  He then stepped back to adjust his arms and give the string another pull.

  Whii……

  “Ha…… ridiculous.”


  GwanJae got frustrated and shook his hands.

  “This is impossible!”


  He lifted his right hand and shot his energy towards Jaehwang that pierced through the air between them. He was light headed because of GwanJae’s attacks so he took another step back.

  ‘It’s a matter of life and death.’


  The energy was his most important weapon.

  GwanJae was hit in the face with a force so great that even the edges of his sleeves were in pain.

  Using his key weapon, he was able to choose life over death.

  Whiii!! Pagpag!!!

  The arrows continued to fly towards GwanJae and even the hems of his clothes were hung in distress while Jaehwang’s attacks continued to gain more speed.

  Tok!!!

  GwanJae glanced over him, the cover suit was already tangled and were already restraining him.He saw him lifting another arrow with his hand.

  ‘He’s about to make another shot?!’


  Whiiii! Pag!!

  True Energy 2, The end.
