And answered the ghoul hound’s words.

“I looked back 100 times. Then, you couldn’t figure it out from the video, and you would have found the pattern backwards using the result.”

“Accurate. After running that much, I finally found the pattern you mentioned.”

The guy continued talking while playing the battle video of Yoon Geon-woo once more on his smartphone.

“This guy named Yoon Geon-woo, to be honest, has surpassed the level of a cadet. Awakened people whose reaction speed and attack speed are as fast as this guy… they definitely exist at level A or higher, but I would say this guy is above that.”

Ghoul Hound was right.

Special awakened people who have gone beyond A-class, like Ghoul Hounds.

Obviously, they have reaction and attack speeds that are incomparable to ordinary awakened people.

Even at that level, Yoon Geon-woo was on a different level.

‘The important thing is whether you can completely control that physicality.’

It is at this point that Yoon Geon-woo’s deceitfulness is revealed.

They already have excellent physical strength that cannot be compared to ordinary awakened people.

In addition, the power of waves blossomed with outstanding intelligence and talent.

By using that power freely, one can control all movements according to one’s will.

‘So it’s hard to even find out how the other person was harmed just by looking at the video.’

Everything ends when the battle should begin.

So like Ghoul Hound said.

It is very difficult to understand Yoon Geon-woo’s movements directly, and the flow of his fighting methods can only be inferred through the opponent he is dealing with.

“It would have been equally difficult to understand even if we had met at the stadium instead of on video. If you meet him in real life, he will be the most troublesome opponent. Well, you can do it physically by rubbing it together. Sigh. Having to give up momentum in the beginning and continue the battle is unpleasant for any awakened person.”

That was the point.

Yoon Geon-woo always preferred battles that brought priority and initiative to the attack.

It’s only natural, considering his arrogant and proud personality.

So, if it were me before, I wouldn’t have even been able to find the right moment to launch a counterattack against him.

‘I also lost my signature skill in the midterm exam. This was possible because I perfectly memorized the activation delay.’

But things have changed now.

I saw it clearly at the stadium.

How his movements begin and flow.

I was able to perceive the flow of the wave in real time, not as a result.

At that time, Ghoul Hound spoke.

“Anyway, how do you know? As soon as the game ended, didn’t this guy named Yoon Geon-woo explain to me how he moved? Doesn’t that mean… you read all of his attacks?”

I nodded.

Even though Yoon Geon-woo was a monster that even the A-level villain Ghoul Hound acknowledged.

At that stadium, I read Yoon Geon-woo’s movements perfectly.

[The power is being activated.]

That is the power I have newly gained.

An ability activated through the 4-star power skill.

‘Sight of evil.’

I briefly checked the system’s power notification window.

[Power]==========================​​​

​

[The power is being activated.]

​

* Great Demon Amon’s Silent Eye (N) / 4★ / lv.1 / Warlock, Darkness

[Check available skills.]

​

▶ Active skills

–

​

▶ Passive skills

​

* Great Evil Eye (lv.1)

: Strengthens your body into that of a demon. As your level increases, you can possess the physical abilities of a high-ranking demon.

​

* Evil Sight (lv.1)

: Form new perception abilities with the eyes of the Great Evil. Reads the flow of mana beyond the responses of sense organs.

================================​​​​​​

Amon’s eyes were literally the eyes of a werewolf who had made a contract with the great evil Amon.

My image was reflected in those gray eyes.

It was determined to be a mirror without any problem.

Moreover, the werewolf was also a legendary sub-race.

As expected, the Eye of Amon created a 4-star morale level power.

“You just have to read it with your eyes.”

When I answered that, the Ghoul Hound made an absurd expression.

“It wasn’t an attack that could be read simply by looking at it! No… but you might be able to do it. Because it’s the famous Unknown.”

Still, he quickly agreed to what I said.

I already had the experience of being caught behind by myself without being able to use any moves.

And against villains, the effect of the trait Unknown applies.

Even the guy who was famous for being a rabid dog couldn’t complain because I had no intention of saying anything more.

‘Well, it’s not a lie that I read it well with my eyes.’

Like the description of the power skill.

Although an awakened person can sense mana with his or her normal sense organs.

In fact, it is impossible to perceive all the detailed flow of mana operating and moving in real time.

Even if an average person can visually see the hands of a mechanical watch moving.

It would be nonsense to read all the principles of the extremely elaborate movement inside.

‘But with my current power, that is possible.’

How mana movement begins and flows.

Rather than a vague feeling, the flow was drawn specifically through my vision.

To use a simple analogy, it was as if my eyes were equipped with ultra-precise detection equipment that is mounted on early warning systems.

I had a brief conversation with the ghoul hound.

Then I took out an envelope from my pocket and handed it to him.

“Crimson Teeth coming soon. You decided to start work in Theia, right?”

“Well… how did you know that?”

As per the original.

As the competition heads to the upper rounds, Crimson Teeth strikes.

A competition where the Apostle of Valhalla is the main sponsor.

As they are very hostile to the apostles in the underworld.

There is no better place to hold a large-scale armed protest.

‘But it’s meaningless. Rather, it is a trap.’

I know the original work well.

I knew that the terrorist attack was actually detrimental to Crimson Teeth.

“The Apostle of Valhalla is not that stupid. This letter. Tell this to Orifiel. If you’re Oriphyel, you won’t make stupid choices.”

“Okay.”

Surprisingly, the Ghoul Hound obeyed me obediently.

In fact, he looked like he was happy.

“As expected, more interesting things will happen if you follow Unknown’s words.”

“I like the answer. I will prepare a place for you soon. Let’s see you then.”

Apostle of Valhalla. There was good timing to give Song Yu-hwan a big blow.

In fact, just like now, the Ghoul Hound followed my instructions as an unknown person, so there was no problem.

The problem is controlling Oriphiel, who has become the de facto leader of Crimson Teeth.

Also for future plans. Only by controlling this guy can Song Yu-hwan be kept in check.

In this letter, I left the right bait to move him.

Still, there won’t be any problem.

“See you next time then!”

After saying that, the Ghoul Hound left.

And after a while. Choi Hana arrived here.

***

Meanwhile, the time was a little while ago.

Hana Choi took the subway and headed to the Jaguar building in Jongno.

She was deep in thought with her mouth tightly closed.

“……”

Normally, I would be watching YouTube videos on my smartphone.

Right now, I didn’t want to do anything while sitting on the subway seat.

‘Why do I keep feeling like this…’

And I kept recalling what happened a little while ago.

The incident where young ordinary women who visited the Daejeon Stadium took pictures with Lee Jun-woo.

If you think about it, it really wasn’t that big of a deal.

I just took pictures with female fans whose names I didn’t even know.

It’s not like Lee Jun-woo and them exchanged contact information.

‘But… a lot more women recognized Junwoo than I thought.’

So I was very concerned about that.

Passengers on the subway could also be heard mentioning the story of this war.

“Yoon Geon-woo won again by a landslide. Did you hear what the commentators said? It’s a complete monster…”

“I like my face more than my skills… Isn’t this slightly raw face attractive?”

It was a meaningless conversation, though.

Female students talk about Yoon Geon-woo. In particular, a voice was heard talking about his appearance.

“Are there any other handsome players besides Yoon Geon-woo?”

“Ah. This player is also good. Although anonymous. Was his name… Lee Jun-woo?”

And at that voice, Choi Hana’s heart cooled once again.

‘It wasn’t a needless worry after all!’

Unlike Yoon Geon-woo, whose name is known to the public beyond Theia, Lee Jun-woo is a completely unknown cadet.

However, just like at the stadium a little while ago, Lee Jun-woo’s name was becoming more and more known.

‘I’m anxious… I’m anxious…’

And that fact was making Choi Hana increasingly anxious.

It is certainly true that the distance between me and Lee Jun-woo has become very narrow.

For their own reasons, the relationship did not progress further.

It’s clear that they are more than friends.

We can’t call ourselves lovers yet.

And I heard it from Noeul.

– Actually, that step is the most dangerous. I want to become a blur.

Even if you don’t know much about dating.

Those words were certainly persuasive.

We’re not officially dating.

If there is a good woman other than her around me at any time. You can date other women at any time.

You’re not the only one who noticed Lee Jun-woo’s charm.

As it is, she doesn’t have much time in Theia because of Naharing’s work.

If I were not careful, Lee Jun-woo might have been taken away by another woman.

‘I absolutely hate that!!’

So, as if complaining to Lee Jun-woo through DM, I quietly took out my smartphone and sent him another message.

[Hana Choi: ㅠㅠ… ㅠㅠ… Today… there were so many female audiences… it was a bit like that… ㅠㅠ]

But if you keep whining like this, Lee Jun-woo might start to hate you.

The moment I inadvertently entered Naharing’s channel as a habit to get rid of the negative thoughts that kept coming up.

Choi Hana recalled an incident from a few days ago.

Lee Jun-woo forgot to log out again and came into Na Haring’s broadcast.

‘If… then…?’

Because I was so embarrassed, I hid the fact that I was doing a vertuber broadcast.

If Lee Jun-woo is really interested in Na Haring.

At this point, I even told him my identity.

In fact, I didn’t know it could be a good method.

– Naharing is very popular in real life right now. There is no man who doesn’t like popular women!

Noeul also secretly recommended that method, saying it would be good.

‘okay. ‘Whether it works or not, I’ll try it.’

Choi Hana made a decision.

Today, I decided to tell Lee Jun-woo that I am Na Haring.
