Chapter 86-1: - Unexpected Event (2)

"Disappointed... you say?"

"Yeah..."

Even as his throat tightened, Haewonryang's pupils shook visibly when Mayuseong spoke those words.

Mayuseong and Haewonryang.

Their first meeting was somewhat unique.

"You, let's have a duel."

Spring of their first year in middle school.

Their connection began with Haewonryang's challenge.

"Huh? Why?"

"I can't admit that you're on the same level as me. It's so irritating. I need to correct the rumors about you that the world knows."

Since Haewonryang gained the ability to awaken his powers and speak, he had been studying magic. Even as a kindergarten student, he effortlessly used magic that could only be acquired as an adult, and in elementary school, he easily defeated upperclassmen from the middle school division.

Haewonryang was a prodigy attracting attention from the world.

But suddenly, out of nowhere, this guy named Ma Yuseong appeared, calling himself another genius.

Wasn't he threatening his position?

So Haewonryang observed Mayuseong for a while. What kind of person he was; what kind of training he did; and what kind of studies he pursued.

The results of his observation were extremely disappointing.

Mayuseong didn't put in any effort, spent his days goofing off, and during class, he read strange books unrelated to the subjects.

It was unacceptable.

His pride was hurt.

To be treated the same as that guy.

He thought of sorting out the hierarchy clearly. That way, he would feel refreshed.

But...

"... I won, didn't I? That magic battle was something else. It was so much fun!"

He lost. He lost to a complete newbie who seemed like he had never even experienced a magic battle in his life.

Haewonryang was at a loss.

Why did he lose?

He couldn't understand.

"To someone who doesn't make any effort, doesn't study, how...!"

The conclusion was simple.

"I was not disciplined enough."

Enough. Please stop."

Without realizing it, Haewonryang released his grip on Mayuseong's neck and took a step back.

With this immense power, it felt like there was nothing to fear in this world. Haewonryang believed he could defeat anyone, including himself.

However, there was still one thing that frightened him. It was disappointing someone he had always considered a lifelong rival.

"If you want to defeat me so easily... then go ahead, take the victory you desire."

"Ugh, I... I..."

Haewonryang's right hand mutated sharply, but due to the confusion in his mind, he couldn't move.

"I'm not afraid of death."

Mayuseong brought his sharp hand to his own chest.

"Instead... it's disappointing that we can never make another bet."

Will this victory, achieved at such a cost, truly be sweet?

Or rather, will it feel empty? If Mayuseong died, the result would forever remain that he never defeated him with his true power.

He must stay alive to break this streak of defeats and finally achieve a true victory.

He couldnt remain an eternal loser.

He must keep himself alive and wash away this disgrace with his own strength.

Haewonryang clenched his teeth and said, "I won't... kill you."

Because he still hasn't defeated him.

**Rumble!**

At that moment, the full-powered magic was completed. She had originally intended to resolve the situation through dialogue, but for some reason, Mayuseong took that method instead and achieved quite successful results.

"I don't know what trick you used... but now is the chance!"

Now that Haewonryang's emotions had returned to almost human-like, if she used the purification magic, she could restore him to his original state.

**Flash!**

Finally, her magic was complete, and in the moment the chains of light were about to envelop Haewonryang...

**Crack!!**

Suddenly,

"Snap!"

"Ugh...!"

Tremendous pressure began to weigh down from all directions.

The magic remained incomplete and unable to be casted, and the three of them fell to their knees on the ground.

**Thunk.**",Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
