Chương 3: Chapter 3: The Former Vice-Chief of Boramae-dong vs. the Chief of Bongcheon-dong (1)
POV of Sehun Kang
I didn't do anything special after the meeting with my ex-colleagues.
I just abusively exploited my AI chip to collect various useful data, both to improve my physique and to adjust my diet and online fighting techniques.
[Enough data has been collected to optimize the turtle breathing method...]
[Would you like me to improve and adjust this to your anatomy?]
"Yes, the higher my lung capacity, the more I'll be able to withstand the pressure at the bottom of this hellish pool."
The turtle breathing method is used in yoga to relax and unwind, but it's also employed in swimming, specifically in diving.
The goal of this technique is to maximize the efficiency of each breath, avoid hyperventilation, and reduce anxiety underwater.
This breathing method is crucial for maintaining a regular heart rate, conserving air, and preventing stress during dives.
"I think with this, I could beat my record time under 10 meters deep." Unfortunately, this training method has its limits.
I'll have to find a coach, increase my diving depth, and also add body weight to make the exercise progressively more effective.
There's a lot to do, but so little time before the important events in Gwanak district.
While I was relaxing at home after a gratifying day, I was called by Dowan.
[Let me guess, Dowan. You've gotten yourself in trouble with a gang again, and now you want help, right?] I didn't beat around the bush.
[How did you guess? I haven't said anything yet!]
It's really funny to use my knowledge of the future this way, but it has its limits.
I'm sure the butterfly effect has already started because of me and my actions. After all, I'm clearly stronger than my old version at this time.
[Don't try to understand, I instinctively knew you'd end up bringing trouble to the gang I left,] I said, serving him a half-truth over the phone.
I heard Dowan stress out on the other end of the line. I'd really like to see his face right now.
[Listen, Sehun, after tonight, I'm leaving Boramae-dong, and you can take it over if you want... but right now, I really need your help.]
He says that, but I know that after tonight, he'll probably no longer want to leave the gang.
I sighed on the phone before asking him to explain the situation. As expected, he told me about his problems with Bongcheon-dong.
[I'll help you settle your problem with Bongcheon-dong. I'll do it even for free, but you better not mess up Boramae-dong.]
I didn't wait for his response, I simply hung up.
I quickly prepared to go to Bongcheon-dong. It's time to see what this body is capable of.
…
"Dude, are you serious with this thing??"
I came with a metal bat, but Dowan arrived with... a plastic lightsaber.
"I know what I'm capable of, so don't underestimate me," he said with a confident tone.
Yes, I know very well what you're capable of... that's precisely why I brought this metal bat.
AI chip, analyze Dowan's weapon handling and use your database to create a fighting style adapted to a metal bat.
[Affirmative.]
It would be far too complex to ask it to create a global fighting style for all weapons. This would require an astronomical amount of data.
For now, I'll settle for learning techniques based on Dowan's movements, which are adapted to blunt weapons.
"Okay, I trust you. But tell me, do you have a plan or are we just diving in?"
We had finally arrived in front of the construction building. I could see several minors coming out, each carrying various objects in hand.
"What? We needed a plan?"
Dowan started sweating profusely, turning his head towards me.
Frankly, I sometimes forget how much of an immature idiot he was at the beginning of the story.
"Forget it, we'll just force our way through and have a 'conversation' with the person in charge."
At the moment I said that, I grabbed a delinquent trying to sneak behind me, brutally seizing him by the throat.
My grip was so fast and brutal that he dropped the piece of wood he was holding in his hands, almost by reflex.
"You pass out after just a few seconds?"
I ruthlessly threw him towards his companions, then placed my metal bat on my shoulder.
"If you have any illness or health problem, now's the time to say it," I said sincerely.
But of course, these idiots responded to my kindness with aggression.
"Bastard!!" a delinquent shouted, rushing precipitously towards me.
Of course, I simply swung my metal bat directly at his jaw.
*Bam.* The metallic sound resonated through the entire construction building. Anyone present could clearly see teeth flying through the air.
The guy passed out on the spot, but I grabbed him by his shirt collar before ruthlessly throwing him onto one of his friends who was approaching Dowan stealthily.
"Stay alert!!" I smashed the skull of another delinquent trying to attack me with my bat, while warning Dowan to be more careful.
The physical strength difference between me and these guys was as obvious as the sun in a cloudless sky.
Just like in the original story, we managed to beat the lackeys without too much difficulty.
"You really handle this thing well," I said honestly as we climbed the stairs.
"Haha, I told you I'm excellent with this kind of thing in my hands!"
I simply nodded to confirm his words, though I knew perfectly well that he was exaggerating.
AI chip, were you able to collect enough data?
[Affirmative. Thanks to the information obtained from Dowan and existing data on *Kalis Arnis*...]
[I think I've gathered enough information to synthesize an effective armed fighting style in real-life situations, but it will require some time.]
How long?
[Three days. This duration could be reduced if you collect more data.]
I nodded, satisfied. Dowan, thinking the gesture was meant for him, puffed out his chest with almost comical pride.
I should probably really let him suffer a complete defeat at the hands of the Bongcheon-dong chief before dealing with him myself.
"Hey, Sehun, can we take a break?" During our ascent in the construction building, Dowan started complaining about fatigue.
"Stop whining a bit." This is why I hate system protagonists: they often lack initiative to seek strength or a solution.
I really hope Dowan changes after tonight.
"I never thought you would come all the way to us," a calm voice resonated above Dowan and me.
"Oh, you're Ji Baek Chang's favorite lackey." I approached him, my blood-dripping bat resting on my shoulder.

He glanced at me, then at Dowan, without losing his composure. This guy is really confident.
"I'm not here for the minions. I'm going to 'discuss' with your superior." I passed him without even turning my head.
Based on what I know about Dowan and the original story, he'll surely receive a quest to "reward" this guy.
Me, I'm going to simply end the evil at its root.
"Yo, Ji Baek Chang, I've come to rearrange your face." It seems the old Sehun Kang didn't particularly like this guy, judging by the itching sensation crossing my hands.
"You say that, but you were unable to seize the position of Boramae-dong chief against a stupid novice," declared the man dressed in an... eccentric suit.
"You're not wrong," I said, slowly approaching his location. He seemed slightly surprised by my words, before quickly regaining his composure.
"But, unlike you, I'm nobody's lapdog." At the end of my sentence, I violently launched my metal bat in his direction.
