Chapter 87: It Hurts to Be a Hero (5) (2/2)

That was actually a solid plan If he didn’t have synesthesia, he would have kept on running forward and got caught for sure “H this way”

Chi-Woo gave up on taking turns and ran in the opposite direction of the ot tricked and screamed However, by that ti down to the lower floor Furious, thean indescribable noise, but it couldn’t do anything but watch as Chi-Woo dropped down to the lower floor

“Huff! Huff!” Once he reached the safe zone, Chi-Woo looked up at the er The mud monster’s fury was obvious froainst the wall It even conjured a foot to storound

“Too bad” Chi-Woo snorted and blinked at the text before hi, but there was a new e for him

[A new ability has been derived froht’ has been formed]

<User Information>

<ol start="1"><li>Name & Rank: Choi Chi-Woo(EX)</li>

<Special Ability(3)>

<ol start="2"><li>[Insight into the Unknown C]—The ability to utilize one’s surroundings to solve problems in unexpected situations Even in a time of crisis, this ability allows one to instinctively identify the best solution by fully utilizing one’s internal abilities and external environment</li>

Thanks to synesthesia, Chi-Woo had developed another ability—Insight into the Unknown Chi-Woo had noticed that he could see the path more clearly today, and there had actually been a reason for this Chi-Woo stared blankly at the e and smiled thinly It was ironic that an ability like this hadn’t coaining special abilities, they sprouted one after another

Chi-Woo breathed roughly and turned around to look at the ain!” he shouted while waving the oodbye and turned away On his way back to the sanctuary, he fell into deep thought He had just reached one of his goals—to return without suffering a single injury froave hiot cut while running away If there hadn’t been a safety zone right below him, and he hadn’t rolled down, he would have surely been dead

However, what mattered was that he was still alive Rather than shi+vering in fear from past memories, it was more constructive to think and plan for the future

‘They don’t seeht…’ His anxiety never went ahile he ran froottenas he had thought after facing it head-on Of course, he kneas stronger than hiht Still, he couldn’t help but question if the ends He had thought such mythical creatures would’ve possessed the ability to teleport or other a skills

Mimi had provided him with two explanations First, the nificantly weaker than it had been No one could escape the effects of ti that the ing by how thehim, Mimi’s first explanation seemed likely

Her second explanation was Chi-Woo’s synesthesia ability For the past few days, it had become clear and clear to Chi-Woo how much of a cheat synesthesia was No matter how much the monster had weakened, it was still a monster If Chi-Woo had faced it without synesthesia, he would probably die in 10 ot a new ability thanks to synesthesia’ While Chi-Woo thanked Ru Amuh inside his mind, he reached the sanctuary Hawa had already returned, and she was busily adding the new paths she discovered to the h she seeot up when she saw Chi-Woo

“You’re not injured today”

Chi-Woo raised his thu

“Hey I scouted the area while its attention was on you, but no luck I ended up getting to a dead end” She addressed him with honorifics whenever Chi-Woo returned with injury, but now, she was back to speaking inforht someday so that she would call him oppa

“That’s fine,” Chi-Woo said with a nod “Would you please draw the new paths you’ve discovered so that I would knohere not to go?”

“I already added thelanced at Chi-Woo “Want to spar again today?”

“Yes, let’s do it right now I’m not injured anywhere today” After a pause, he added, “Want to make another bet? It’s been a while”

“If that’s what you want”

“…I got it Hawa nuna,” Chi-Woo replied with reluctance and readied his stance Sparring with Hawa had becoer focused on beating Hawa any how to fight and applying these skills to real-life was more important For example, a new technique he had recently tried was the trick ofto increase his distance from the mud monster

He also studied ways toHawa’s attacks, as well as ways tohit That was how Chi-Woo had been applying newfound knowledge and skills in a fight, but it was extre for Hawa Chi-Woo rarely attacked All he focused on were defending and evading her attacks; Hawa usually got tired earlier than him While she didn’t lose, she couldn’t beat hiood at evading her attacks; even when she ed to land a hit, his composure didn’t break before Hawa could understand a little why the oing to keep blocking?” In the end, Hawa couldn’t stand it any longer and complained

“Ah” Chi-Woo stopped and scratched his head “I’ away from the monster”

Hawa bit her lower lip in response Since it was true that she had only been able to scout the upper floor with relative safety thanks to Chi-Woo’s efforts, she couldn’t really criticize his

“I’ll attack from now on,” added Chi-Woo

“Nah, it’s fine Let’s end it here today” Hawa shook her head “I was the one who told you to focus on evading, but you should still learn how to retaliate”

“Yes”

“…Good work You should take a bath and get at least a little bit of sleep”

Chi-Woo listened obediently and took off his clothes Since he kneas going to enter the spring pool with hi sure that Chi-Woo had entered the pool, Hawa also took off her clothes When she approached the spring pool, she saw that Chi-Woo had lowered his head, and he was snoring In that short amount of time, he had fallen asleep

Hawa snorted and was about to dip her foot into the pool when—

“!” She recoiled in shock The water had beco, and it felt like she was touchingsense of resistance fro recently; it see her to not enter today

‘Why…?’

At that ot sucked into the pool as if someone had yanked him down from underwater Hawa’s eyes widened in shock There was the sound of soan to radiate a white light
