NOVEL WEB Chapter 136
Night had fallen over the open-air bath.
It was the first time YuSung had experienced warm water accompanied by the cold night breeze.
'So these are the installations a black card gives access to…'
YuSung leaned his back against the marble and closed his eyes.
'I almost want to fall asleep like this.'
Even so, he couldn’t do that.
The open-air bath might have been good, but Sumire's food awaited him. Her food was the best gift for YuSung after training.
'The smell… was also great.'
Unlike his ambitious goal, YuSung found happiness in small things in life. For example, the fried chicken in curry.
Psss-
As he moved his arm, the water scattered away from his fingertips. He could feel that his body had changed.
It had started in the Room of Time.
Shin YuSung's Trait, [Heightened Focus], had evolved to [Super Sense Awakening].
Back then, the only changes were that his speed of thought increased along with his concentration, but he found that his senses could go far beyond a human’s as well.
Just by closing his eyes and concentrating, he could see and hear things that he couldn't before.
'To think there were so many mana wavelengths I wasn't aware of all around me…'
He felt it in the water, the air, and even through sound.
Just as light and soundwaves bounced off of solid objects, so too did mana wavelengths.
Shin YuSung was the first hunter able to feel mana wavelengths in such ways.
'With this strength…'
Mana Resonance, something only possible when mana wavelengths were matched—something that rarely ever happened—was entirely controllable if you had Super Senses.
Mana Resonance was a strength that allowed you to dismiss anything with a foundation in mana.
'No hunter has succeeded in this before…'
Shin YuSung had gotten a taste of the six senses because he'd been training using his Heightened Focus Trait.
He obtained [Super Sense Awakening] by applying those experiences in the Room of Time, so you could say that [Super Sense Awakening] was a Trait that Shin YuSung had obtained thanks to his experience.
'This is the only card I have that can counter my noona’s 'Telekinesis'…'
He wasn’t worried about his potential rivals in the International Competition. Rather, the monster he wanted to surpass was the Shin-oh family’s beast that hadn’t shown her true strength to anyone.
Since HaYoon had expressed her interest in obtaining him, he wouldn't be able to avoid a direct match.
'She hid her true strength from the family's patriarch. There’s probably no one who knows her real limit.'
The Shin-oh family's only rank 7, Shin KangYoon, and Yu MinSeo, the only rank 7 of the side branch families…
HaYoon had even hidden her strength from them. That's how meticulous Shin HaYoon's personality had been since birth—she never showed her teeth until she was ready to devour her opponent.
Not only that, but her Trait was Telekinesis.
It was very versatile for fighting and encompassed attack, defense, close-range, and long-range.
She was the worst possible opponent for YuSung since he had to close the gap in order to be effective.
'I must polish the 5th form as quickly as possible.'
With that concluding thought, YuSung got up from the open-air bath. Maybe it was because he’d immersed himself in a hot bath, or maybe it was because he’d finished organizing his thoughts, but his body felt lighter.

Swoosh-
YuSung was wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair. Perhaps it was due to how hot the open-air bath was, but his face was redder than normal.
As if she had foreseen even that, Sumire carefully handed him something.
"YuSung! Here…!" She handed him his favorite banana milk.
"Ah, this…"
