Chapter 496: Chapter 496
.
Then at the moment, the attacker delivered another ax kick to strike Eun Hyung on the head. Crossing his arms, Eun Hyung barely defended himself from the threatening attack; his brows soon met in the middle.
Watching Eun Hyung covering one side of his arm with a sudden grimace, I also frowned. I had never seen him being overpowered by someone or feeling pain until now. However, that Eun Hyung was covering the part of his body that just got attacked while frowning. Then how strong was the attacker?
I turned my head to look at the all-black guy. Something flashed through my head. ‘Is he… the one who has been doing the surprise attacks on the Number one candidates lately? But Eun Hyung has nothing to do with the ranking…’
While I just clenched and released my fist, not knowing what to do, the attacker guy and Eun Hyung exchanged some blows and kicks.
Watching the two fight, I realized that Eun Hyung could never defeat that guy. Since Eun Hyung didn’t learn fighting skills at a professional level, he just repeated between defending and counterattacking the opponent without any fancy moves. In fact, he was so strong that most of the people couldn’t win over him even though Eun Hyung didn’t use any special techniques.
However, the guy’s punch was so fatal that it was impossible to defend the opponent while getting no harm. As soon as Eun Hyung defended himself from the attack, he lost balance. The guy then attempted another attack.
When the guy jumped up and hit one side of the wall to deliver a fancy flying kick, I burst out screaming.
“Eun Hyung!!!”
What should I do? While I tore my hair out, being on thorns, someone’s ringing voice reached my ear. I turned my head in that direction.
“Eun Hyung! Lower your head!”
Looking at the thing flying over to our side, I lied down flat on the ground. A trash bag as big as me flew seamlessly to the all-black attacker and struck him.
POP! With a loud noise, the trash bag ripped almost like an explosion; the garbages inside came out and distracted the guy’s sight.
While the guy cleaned off the trash hanging on the visor of his cap, Eun Hyung ran toward me. Ban Yeo Ryung then threw another trash bag behind us who were running away in a hurry. Diverting her eyes back onto us, she shouted, “RUN!”
As if that was a signal, we ran as desperately as we could. Thankfully, we were running down a road descending steeply. Though we almost stumbled on the ground a couple of times, we were lucky enough to quickly arrive at a flat surface without actually tumbling down.
Even though it was a familiar route, I wasn’t able to distinguish the right path while being in a panic. When I encountered the fork in the road, I became very anxious. Soon after, I pointed at one side and shouted, “There! It’s there! Go that way; there’s the big road!”
As soon as I yelled urgently, Yeo Ryung and Eun Hyung dashed in the direction immediately. Running at full speed, clenching my teeth, I glanced back. The guy was running after us at a threatening speed with trash hanging on his visor like seaweeds.
I groaned, “Argh! He’s definitely gonna appear in my dreams today!”
Then at the moment, a chair flew over to him and hit the guy on his head. When I looked back at the side, Ban Yeo Ryung came into view, which changed my mind.
No, the person who’s gonna show up in my dream today would be her. How could she show such a beast-like expression on that beautiful face? So to speak, that could be something unique about her.
But if Ban Yeo Ryung didn’t help us, we were dead. Ban Yeo Ryung, I love you!
Murmuring that way, I turned around another corner. A big road to the subway station finally came into my sight. There were crowds surging in like waves after work.
‘He won’t try to fight with Eun Hyung all the way here, will he?’ Having that thought, I stood in the middle of the crowds, putting my hands on my knees, and took a deep breath. After a moment, I looked at where Eun Hyung and Yeo Ryung were at, then my face reddened in bewilderment.
I shouted urgently, “RUN!!!”
As soon as I screamed that way, the all-black guy threw multiple kicks at Eun Hyung.
Striking his back on the streetlamp, Eun Hyung quietly groaned in pain. The pedestrians began to shriek in surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“Shouldn’t we call the police?”
I wondered if someone could stop them; however, the following situation perplexed me. As if the small battle in the alley was just a joke, the two began to fight like a scene in an action movie. The people around them also started to emit a whoop.
Indeed, they seemed to be the crowds in web novels, but some whispered like, “Are they shooting a film?”
“I guess so. Wow, look at those moves!”
“But where’s the camera?”
I shouted in my thoughts, ‘Of course, there isn’t since this isn’t a movie!’ then later took out my phone.
Yikes, the situation earlier was too urgent to think about calling the cops. Perhaps I also became a part of those crowds in this world of a web novel just casually watching a brawl.
On the other hand, I glanced around to find Ban Yeo Ryung and soon had eye contact with her, bending her steps, holding a huge trash can.
There was a severe conflict in my mind, wondering, ‘Should I really call the cops?’ But what if the cops rather arrest Ban Yeo Ryung, instead of that all-black attacker?
That was when a loud and familiar voice came out through the crowds. I quickly looked behind me.
“Excuse me, coming through!’
It sounded unusually ringing and crystal clear for a boy’s voice, then at the next moment, a black shadow sprang up above the crowds. As if he received only half the gravity compared to others, his action was so feather-light.
Gently jumping over a few people’s shoulders, he finally landed on an empty s.p.a.ce where the crowds couldn’t dare to approach due to Eun Hyung and the all-black guy fiercely fighting.
Being able to see the boy’s face, at last, I murmured, “Yi Ruda…?”
As if he had heard myself mumbling the name, the all-black guy turned to look at Yi Ruda. Under his black cap, the guy was throwing a scowling glance toward Yi Ruda then slowly turned his body as if he was trying to ignore Eun Hyung who almost collapsed on the ground.
When the guy slowly took a few steps and stood in front of Yi Ruda, the difference between their physiques became more obvious. Watching the sight, I held my breath. Even though Ruda grew taller after entering soph.o.m.ore year and wasn’t smaller than the average teenager boys’ body size, the guy was overwhelmingly huge than him.
Facing the guy right in front would feel extremely pressured; however, Yi Ruda didn’t show any signs of fright. Instead, he curved the corners of his lips upward into a fierce smile and gently clenched his fist.
Shortly after, Yi Ruda and the guy’s second battle began. I was struck dumb, looking at the two fighting.
In the past, I was curious about who would win if a fight broke out between Ruda and Eun Hyung. And watching the two, I, once again, realized that getting a professional level of training was as significant as being gifted.
Yi Ruda drove the black guy so easily into the corner that even I felt dumbfounded somehow. His hands and feet were invisibly fast. The crowds sent cheers to him, applauding, “Wow, awesome!” “No need of CGs!”
At that moment, the guy, having his back to the wall, suddenly turned around.
Yi Ruda yelled hurriedly, “Where you going?!!”
Ignoring Ruda’s call, the guy looked up at the bus station right behind him then stepped on the trashcan beside it with one foot to jump up to the clear roof on the station. The people under it, who were waiting for the bus, rushed out of the bus station in astonishment.
Ruda, on the other hand, gnashed his teeth, watching the sight. He also jumped up to the roof as lightly as the guy.
“I said stop!!” Shouting in rage, he disappeared, chasing the guy.
There was only silence around the place for quite a while. Once the fight was over, the crowds grumbled like, ‘Is it over? What a b.u.mmer…’ and scattered away by ones and twos. Standing alone in a daze, I quickly put myself together and turned my head.
Yeo Ryung quickly helped Eun Hyung to stand up since he was holding his side, being collapsed on the ground. His brows met in the middle.
I sighed, ‘My G.o.d, Eun Hyung looks really painful; usually, he never shows any signs of pain no matter how much he’s hurt…’
