章 3: Courage
"Bang!"
My head flipped when I realized where I was! This is the Lookism universe! And right in front of me are the characters from "Viral Hit"!
Seong Taehoon, one of the key characters, also known as "500 Won".
And the guy who looked incredibly similar to Yoo Hobin turned out to be a character from Taehoon's backstory, Lee Dowon.
The only reason I could tell them apart was his normal, one might even say trained, physique and bright brown hair, which is a rarity among guys, unless they are delinquents.
I expected to get a thrashing or at least a slap on the back of the head, but Taehoon was almost completely focused on Dowon.
This both pleased and disappointed me.
After briefly getting acquainted, we all continued to practice: me with my teacher, and Dowon with Taehoon.
I tried to start a conversation with them, but after receiving an irritated look from Taehoon, who was adjusting Dowon's leg forward, I abruptly changed my mind.
While I was watching them, I saw how they practiced new techniques. For the first time, I felt that everything I saw was instantly absorbed by my body.
I don't know if this is a delusion or not, but I decided not to ruin the first impression of my new teacher by trying this and that on first session.
By the time the lesson ended, I already realized that I was at the bus stop with Taehoon.
"Damn, my useless head! I should have at least tried to ask Dowon to ride me home!"
– Hey. – He called out to me while I was pretending to look at my watch. – Are you being bullied?
– Huh? No, no, I haven't finished the process of transferring to school yet, why are you asking?
– Hm, then why did my dad ask me to walk you to the bus? Are you going to sponsor our dojang?
– Oh, so that's what you mean. – I sighed, thanking Dowon for his positive influence on Taehoon. – I showed my medical records to your father and he saw my diagnosis that after the accident I developed a fear of cars.
– A-a-ah, well then, okay, no problem. – He looked at the road again and asked again after a couple of minutes. – So which school did you transfer to? Apparently you should live somewhere nearby.
– You could say that, the school is called "Middle School ****". I just met the principal today.
– Really? But this is my school. Well, and Dowon's... – he scratched his cheek, looking at the ground. – If you don't mind, we can hang out together before training in the dojang. Are you up for it?
– I'd be very grateful, to be honest I don't have any friends yet! – making connections with a cool and strong guy was incredibly useful, not to mention his father, who can beat 90% of the verse.
– Seriously? What do you think this is, a gathering of losers? – He muttered barely audibly and fell silent.
Having waited for the bus, I said goodbye to Taehun and sat down on the seat.
"It's really was a fate. To meet characters that I had only seen on the other side of the screen. But what stunned me even more was being sent into one of the toughest combat verses, where the human limit is much higher, and talent is even more important, along with effort."
Despite a little fear, I felt anticipation and excitement. I couldn't pass up the chance to participate in the development of the story.
"Now I really feel like a child! The last time I felt like this was when I was a child reading a story and dreaming of meeting the Little Prince!
But even in order to be a significant character at the beginning of the story and not get beaten, I must raise my fighting ability to the level of a gang leader.
Having been reborn and given such a chance, I fully believe that I am special. And I even suspect my gift.
When I get home, I'll watch all sorts of martial arts moves on Newtube, especially of one master with a rooster's head."
