I gulped. This will be my first official fight against an awakened one as strong as the Klein brother. Glancing at the other three, my eyes carefully scanned their injures and their breathing. Biting my lip, I tugged the hood over my head more. Kain and his father seem to be the only ones around with red hair, if even a strand were to be seen, it wouldn't be surprising if they realized I was Kain. But with his reputation, there's a chance they wouldn't think of Kain, except Jiwoo of course.

"Hah, how annoying" I flinched hearing the brother's low angry tone, appearing in front of Subin, his fire attribute covered the hand about to grab her face. Shit! He's too fast! I thought, extending my hand towards the Klein brother, about to use the lightening as a long-range attack until I remembered, my aim sucks. It could hit Subin with how close he is to her. Just then, I felt a breeze pass by me. Jiwoo hopped into the air, his right hand balled into a fist as he tried to punch the brother just for the man to catch his attack. "You annoyed me the most" He commented, leaping forward to grab jiwoo who easily dodged. Except the fire instead followed Jiwoo, aiming for his legs.

My eyes widened. "With your speed you must've been able to overpower opponents with similar levels of combat skill but when the opponent is much stronger or has significantly more experience than you-" The brother started. Knowing what he was going to do, I panicked. He'll hurt Jiwoo.

Without another thought, my power once again enhanced my leg muscles, allowing me to jump right in front of the Klein brother within a second, using my left leg to kick his face. As expected, he caught my ankle just like he did with Jiwoo. I clenched my jaw, bending back onto my hands, using my free leg to launch a hard kick with my heel under his chin. The electric attribute once again crackling at the same time then exploding upon impact, sending the Klein brother flying back again. He let go of my other leg, allowing me to spin on my hands then stand straight on my feet. Letting out a shaking breath. Thanks to my spars against my hyung, things like catching my punches or kicks never faze me any more. There's always a way to counter attack, so long as you don't miss that chance and never hesitate.

"Shit! Jiwoo!" I yelled when I felt the Klein brothers power hardly stop despite my interference. Spinning around, the power exploded against Jiwoo. I clenched my jaw. He still ended up getting hurt! I should've grabbed Jiwoo instead of attacking the brother instead! "Argh!" He yelped, falling to the ground with burns on his body, even the uniform her wore sizzled with ash. I ran to him, kneeling down. "I'm sorry, I thought-" Jiwoo was silent, looking just at me. "Who are you?' He asked, the sight of the Klein brother easily being pushed back not leaving his mind despite the pain he was in. I gulped. "It's Kain" I whispered. He relaxed hearing my voice. "Hyung" he smiled after learning it was me.

I bit my lip. Seriously? You're smiling right now you idiot?! "What the hell kind of marital arts was that?" Subin commented, also in shock of the scene she just watched play out before her. Even Jisuk was taken aback. "I have no idea. Is he some vigilante or something?" He asked, both looking to see the said vigilante still conversing with Jiwoo. "Jiwoo!" But their thoughts were washed away when they saw the brother behind the Oni masked man, his flaming hand about ready to hit me behind the head. "Hyung!" Jiwoo yelled, reaching up to pull me down when I ducked down myself, reaching up and grabbing his wrist and shoulder, then using the same muscle enhancement in my legs, jumping up and kneeing his elbow as hard as I could when everyone heard a snap. "Ahhhhh!!" They all stopped hearing the Klein brother yell of agony. I was pissed. He hurt Jiwoo in front of me? How fucking dare he?!

"Ow" I shook my right hand that held the brothers wrist, feeling the immense burning seeping under my skin. It felt like my hand was on fire, even moving it felt like thousands of needles poking my hand. Furrowing my brows, I looked down to Jiwoo whose whole body had been burnt. He still fought despite this insane amount of pain? For some reason, I kept getting even more mad each time I realized how much Jiwoo truly suffers throughout this story.
