Chapter 282 - Invisible weapon

Turning the annoyed expression on Soobin's face, she was starting to reconsider her thoughts on running away. Then again, he always showed that irritated expression at her, making her think that was permanent.

Moreover, he was the one who told her to do whatever she could do to keep herself protected, and at that moment, this was only what she could do.

She could see that he was not putting his all when it came to running, and if he had done that, by now, she will be into his clutching.

Soohyun was well aware of how running away was not a solution, but at that moment, there was nothing other than that she could do. Unless or until her mind figured out on how to deal with this, her running abilities was the only thing she could put her trust into.

'Alright, Soohyun, alright. Don't tire yourself by running. Otherwise, you might not be able to take out that weapon of yours. Considering how you are, you definitely go into the defense field. Think of trying to defend yourself. You could—'

Before Lee Soohyun could continue with her thoughts, she felt someone appear before her, and her eyes widened. Seeing Kim Soobin stand before her with a serious expression, a gasp left her mouth.

It seemed that he was no longer playing around with her, and her time to run away from was over. Visibly gulping, she stared at him, wondering on what to do.

'Think fast, Soohyun. Think of anything. You can figure out a way out of this. Concentrate your powers. Just do whatever you did when you were mediating back then. Ah! Soohyun, think fast. Come on, come on.'

Anxiousness began to rise within Soohyun, and she found it difficult to collect her thoughts together. 

Before she could process it, Soobin raised his sword and made an attack towards her. A strong rush of wind pushed her back, and her back made contact with the ground.

A groan left her mouth while she attempted to sit up. Opening her eyes, she saw Soobin standing before her, and this made her deduce one thing. Soobin also controlled the wind like her.

She did not know whether or not to take that as a bad thing. Taking in a deep breath, Soohyun decided that it was time for her to get completely serious. As Soobin was putting in his all into it, she should do that as well.

The impact caused couple of wounds to form on her body due to the sharp touch of the wind. Blood flowed out of them before they closed.

Raising his sword, Soobin was about to make another attack on Soohyun, but before that could come on her, she pressed her palms on top of the ground.

Exerting her force on to it, she slipped back and jumped to stand up straight. Seeing how the wind touched the ground, leaving a scar on it, she realized the intensity of the attack. 

That was extremely close, and she might let out a cry for real if it touched her. Without giving Soohyun a second to compose herself, he made a move with his sword again, causing her to jump back.

Moving his sword right, Soobin was about to attack her. That is when, on impulse, she crossed her arms over face in order to prevent it from touching her.

A gust of wind flew in Soobin's direction, but it was unable to prevent his attack. His wind from his attack touched her hand, creating multiple scars on them.

Even though the wounds hurt, she did not let them affect her, and she instantly removed her arms from her face. Knowing that she was able to display some kind of power, Soohyun was proud of herself.

She might be able to take out her weapon if she kept at it.

As she blinked once, Soobin disappeared from in front of her, and feeling his presence behind her, she was about to turn back when she felt something attack her.

The sharp wind touched her shoulder, causing her to fall back, and a smile formed on her face when she stumbled but did not fall on that ground.

Without giving her a chance to recover, Soobin directed another attack towards her, causing her eyes to widen, and acting on her impulse, she moved her hand randomly.

Her move surprised her as well. It was not her intent to do so neither did she understand her purpose for doing so.

When he was about to make an attack at her, she noticed how close to her chest that was, and a sense of danger came over her. Thinking that her life was endangered, she acted without thinking once. 

A ribbon— that was what that fell into her eyes. Her hand held into a ribbon. The ribbon was light blue in colour, and it moved swiftly against the air.

Whilst she moved her hand, the ribbon came in contact with Soobin's body, creating a wound on top of it. However, it was merely a scratch for he moved back before it was able to hurt him further.

The sword in his hand disappeared in that moment, and her eyes fell into the ribbon in her hand. She understood his purpose behind stopping this.

She had finally found out her weapon, and it was the ribbon inside her hand. Although the ribbon looked beautiful, she found herself being disappointed at it.

She would have preferred it better if it had something to do with defense, and if it was not that, a sword would have been better. A ribbon appeared too weak in her opinion.

Ribbon was a weapon she could probably gracefully fight against with, but that was not what Soohyun wanted. She had no clue on how she was able to make attacks with the weapon in her hand.

Raising her hand to pick up the ribbon, she voiced out, "This is my weapon."

Disappointment showed in her voice, and her eyes showed how disheartened she was by the weapon in her hand. 

"Hmm," he said, "It seems that you have gotten an invisible weapon."
