Chapter 177 (2/2)

—All you did was force your way through the course

“What’s wrong with that?”

—There’s so you’re mistaken about

Philip also spoke sharply

—Running through the course isn’t your only training Resting, eating, and sleeping are all part of it

Chi-Woo’s eyes slightly widened He tried to say so Philip said made sense, and he knew this fact himself

—…Think about it

Philip’s tone slightly softened

—Did your brother tell you to not rest?

…No His brother had told hiet up, but he never told him to not rest Instead, Chi-Hyunon to his next training

—Or did he tell you to not eat?

Chi-Hyun hadn’t said that either He forced Chi-Woo to eat three meals a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner Even when Chi-Woo collapsed after finishi+ng his training, Chi-Hyun would wake him up and force him to eat

—If not, did he tell you to not sleep?

It was the sa Chi-Hyun dried hi Chi-Hyun also started a warm campfire next to him each time he fell asleep

—Can you still confidently say that you did everything he told you to do?

Chi-Woo beca to say Since his brother left, he had skipped meals more than once because he felt lazy Due to sheer boredo the course as fast as possible that he didn’t even take a proper break Moreover, when he was finished with his course, he slept wherever without drying hi his exhaustion as an excuse It was no wonder that he would get sick

—It’s aet sicker sooner

Chi-Woo’s face becary, but he didn’t say a word

—…Chi-Woo

Chi-Woo suddenly felt aard It was the first time Philip called him by his na to him

—Let me ask you one question

“…”

—Is the training you’re doing…really too difficult to handle?

Chi-Woo paused for a moment He smacked his lips a few ti was definitely hard, but it was not to the extent that it was i into the depth of his strength until he felt as if he was alht?

This was one of the reasons why Philip regarded Chi-Hyun’s i that you’re having a hard ti shouldn’t be easy It’s normal for it to be hard

What would happen if a person who could lift 50kg ? Not only would they not be able to lift the weight, but they would get hurt if they forced the required an accurate estimation of one’s limit The space that Chi-Hyun created was quite harsh in that it forced Chi-Woo to face his li hirowth However, it was the most ideal and reasonable way to train in Philip’s eyes, which hy he saw Chi-Hyun in such high regard

—This space ht be…incomparably better than the cave in the Evelaya Volcano

The place and the training course were tailored for Chi-Woo from start to finish Most trainers wouldn’t be able to do this even if they wanted to; it wasfor the trainer rather than the trainee

—This is an opportunity that will never coain in your life

But above all, it didn’t make sense that a person would be able to create such an enorreat burden for Chi-Hyun to maintain it

—It’s created just for you

Chi-Hyun did this for Chi-Woo, his brother and family For his one and only brother, Chi-Hyun endured the hardshi+p alone without showing howspace

—So Chi-Woo

Philip continued with the most serious expression he had ever shown to Chi-Woo

—Only this once Even if it’s not fun, endure this once no matter how painful or hard it is Let’s train properly

Philip cleared his throat

—Don’t worry I proet out of here, you’ll be noticeably different from who you were

Philip was certain because he could see it with his own eyes—Chi-Woo’s body, which had been a precarious castle built on sand, was visibly stabilizing every day Philip vaguely understood Chi-Hyun’s grand plan, and as a guardian spirit who had prorow, it was a waste to let Chi-Woo give up like this

“…” Chi-Woo stayed quiet, but he looked ated to say all this to hi out for Chi-Woo with the best of intentions It made Chi-Woo think a little differently

—Uh…Did I talk too much?

When Chi-Woo continued to stay silent, Philip aardly smiled and scratched his head At that reat difficulty and made his way forith a hand on the wall

—W-what? Where are you going?

“…To eat,” Chi-Woo murmured in a small voice “Now that I think about it…it’s been several days since I’ve eaten…”

Philip burst into laughter

—That’s right, punk You should eat first You have to eat before doing anything That’s why I told you to eat when you were imprisoned

Philip broke out of his serious façade and immediately returned to his lively self That day, Chi-Woo ate the porridge that he cooked hireat care He dried his sweaty clothes, dressed war and felt much more comfortable than before His whole body was still sore and aching, but he felt stronger

“…” Honestly, none of these tasks were difficult, and he kne important it was to take care of himself But he was so consumed by his circumstances that he couldn’t even follow the basics ‘That’s why…’ Chi-Woo learned why his brother always e, and shelter so much Soon, Chi-Woo fell so deep asleep that he didn’t even drea, and resting well for several days, Chi-Woo quickly recovered As soon as his body becahter, Chi-Woo carefully lifted the barbell and confirht had returned The space deeress returned to norh the set course was as boring and difficult as before Nevertheless, Chi-Woo was no longer i on how he used it, he could ih norht about everything he did in this space as training and looked at his situation with new eyes The only concern he had was that the supplies were finally close to running out Fortunately, Chi-Hyun returned around this time

“It looks delicious Give me a bowl”

Chi-Woo, who had used up all the leftover ingredients and e, turned to look at his brother Chi-Hyun had returned without hie with a snort as if to criticize Chi-Hyun’s shamelessness

“You told me you’d return in a few days”

“It’s been three days”

“And not a month?”

Chi-Hyun replied, “It’s three days At least on the outside” Then he quickly scanned his surroundings and turned back After carefully looking at the traces Chi-Woo left behind, he said, “Anyway…you seeht” He smiled and looked at Chi-Woo like he found it unexpected “I thought you’d be fooling around and co about how tired you are, or be sick in bed”

Chi-Woo snorted “I was seriously ill a few days ago”

“Really? You look fine”

“It’s because I’m all better now”

“But you never know Don’t worry though You’ll get better as soon as I beat you up” Chi-Hyun twisted his neck side to side and grinned while saying, “Were you bored after not getting beaten up for so long?”

“Yeah I was”

“…What?”

“I thinkhit for days”

Did he hear his brother wrong? Chi-Hyun quickly blinked

But Chi-Woo continued nonchalantly, “Hitting is great and all, but let’s eat first Okay?” Chi-Woo picked up the ladle and nodded after tasting his cooking “Come to think of it, can you help ht me, but it’s less effective when I do it by myself than when you help me” Chi-Woo scooped up a full ladle and put it in a bowl “By the way, did you bring meat?”

When Chi-Hyun shook his head in a daze, Chi-Woo looked visibly disappointed Then Chi-Woo said, “Geez, do you kno many calories I consume a day? I need to at least eat well tobowl to Chi-Hyun “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“…What? Ah, yeah Okay” Chi-Hyun took the bowl and looked at his brother with surprise

Chi-Woo said, “Eat first Help ”

Chi-Hyun didn’t know exactly why, but his brother seeed a little

“You just have to help o back outside and get some meat before dinner Get a lot, okay? Parts with a lot of protein”

Chi-Hyun thought he lances at Chi-Woo and put the soupy porridge his brother cooked into hishot and delicious
