Chapter 62 - Competition [1] (1/2)

Startled by the sudden voice, Moon Jiwoo turned her head into that direction, and her lips curved to form a small smile.

”Ah! You finally woke up. I was starting to think that you are dead,” she vocalised.

Pressing his palms on top of the couch, Min Hyungwon sat up. He was about to scold Jiwoo but held his tongue back in order to not let any time go to waste.

”Shouldn't we call a doctor?” Sookyung questioned before adding, ”At your age, it is not exactly healthy to faint. If you pass away, it will truly be disastrous for us.”

”There is no need for that. I have fainted due to Moon Jiwoo, more specifically her powers. Since you had provoked her, her will caused her powers to leak out, and since she was unable to control it, she attacked me with it.”

Upon hearing those words, a sparkle appeared in Moon Jiwoo's eyes as they widened, and she spoke out, ”Those were my powers. Wow! That's so cool!”

Then, curving her lips to form a smug smile, she folded her arms across her ċhėst, and continued, ”Yah! You loser, did you see that? I am really, really strong now. The next time you try to provoke me, you are dead meat.”

Oh Sookyung let out chuckle— which was filled with mock— as he stated, ”Can you do that? Too bad, no matter how much you wish for that, it would not be physically possible for you.”

”You weakling! Are you challenging me? Should I kill you off to prove that to you?” she exclaimed— her eyes glaring at him while she raised her fist to point at him.

Before On Sookyung was able to respond, Hyungwon shouted, ”Two of you, can't you even stay quiet for a couple of minutes and hear what I have to say. Are both of you some toddler?”

”Are you a fool? Do you think a toddler can steal like him? They are too innocent to be compared to the likes of him,” Jiwoo vocalised, pointing at Oh Sookyung.

”Toddlers don't aim to murder people at the every chance they get. Shin Daerin, are you actually an aspiring murderer?” he spoke out.

A loud groan left Hyungwon's mouth. No matter how much he yelled at them, getting the two of them to stop arguing was almost impossible for him.

”Shut up!” he yelled, ”If one of you says one word from now on, you will have to go on a day without food.”

As Moon Jiwoo was about to open her mouth in order to convey her words, Hyungwon placed his finger on top of his lips, causing her to throw away her words.

Her bottom lips protruded forward, and turning her head slightly, she glared at Oh Sookyung. Folding his arms across his ċhėst, Sookyung smirked at her.

The arrogance in his eyes managed to irk her, and extending her leg towards him, she stepped on top of his foot with all of her strength. Hyungwon mentioned no words to her on not getting physical with him.

For what had happened at the clearing back then, he still owed her.

Sookyung was about to retaliate when Hyungwon said, ”Shin Daerin, your powers give you the ability to control the electricity. I am pretty sure you have felt a jolt of electricity when you used them on me earlier. Along with those powers, you have a weapon as well. As for unlocking that, it will still be taking you time.”

”What about me?” Sookyung asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

”Tch! You will have powers lamer than me,” Jiwoo mumbled. Nonetheless, those words were loud enough to reach into Sookyung's ear.

”About you, Sookyung, as you're the prince, you have lots of power locked within you, but unlocking them completely depends on you. The current King had unlocked two sets of power.

For Shin Daerin, unlocking her powers and weapon will be easy due to her protective instincts. But as for you, you are required to put more effort into it. Moreover, your powers were sealed for a long time and you did not have proper training in the childhood. At the end, this all depends on your determination,” Hyungwon vocalised.

A chuckle left Moon Jiwoo's mouth while she spoke out, ”You hear that! Provoke me the next time, and I will fry you with my powers. Maybe some wild creatures at here will be satisfied when I barbeque you.”
