EP.94 Alpha Male (4)

“Move out of the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!”

– Thud!!! –

“Ugh, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Kang Seo-jun’s hand shot out like lightning, gripping Li Xiaoming’s throat tightly.

– Crunch!! –

As soon as he grabbed his throat, his grip automatically tightened.

“Ugh, ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Li Xiaoming’s face turned beet red, as if it was about to burst.

His eyes quickly became bloodshot, and veins bulged grotesquely on his temples and forehead.

It looked like his head could explode at any moment.

However, Kang Seo-jun seemed to relish this and tightened his grip even more.

“Ugh, ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

The pressure was so intense that Li Xiaoming’s tongue involuntarily stuck out of his mouth.

With blood and breath completely cut off by the grip, his consciousness began to fade, and his vision started to blur.

‘I can’t breathe…! No, this can’t be!’

Even the sensation in his fingertips was gradually fading.

At this rate, a blood vessel in his brain could burst, leading to severe injury.

However, Kang Seo-jun had no intention of stopping at a reasonable point.

He had already given Li Xiaoming a 10-second chance.

It was Li Xiaoming who had kicked that chance away like a stone.

There was no need for Kang Seo-jun to show him any more mercy.

– Crunch!! –

– Lift!! –

Kang Seo-jun lifted Li Xiaoming by his throat.

“Ugh, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Just being choked was already unbearable, but with the added force of gravity, it felt like his neck was going to be torn off.

– Flail! Flail! –

Li Xiaoming belatedly twisted Kang Seo-jun’s forearm and kicked his legs in a desperate struggle.

“Let… go…!”

However, the grip did not loosen, instead, it only grew stronger.

‘What kind of strength is this…!?’

Li Xiaoming’s eyes filled with shock.

‘His strength is higher than mine!?’

Currently, Li Xiaoming’s strength was a whopping ’22’.

Even compared to active hunters, Li Xiaoming’s strength was at a high level.

Yet, he couldn’t break free from the grip of this giant, who was supposedly just a cadet.

He tried pulling the giant’s fingers with both hands and twisting his wrist, but the guy didn’t budge, as if it didn’t even tickle him.

It felt like being caught by a super-alloy mecha robot.

‘…This doesn’t make sense! How can an unknown guy be this strong…!!! This can’t be…!’

Li Xiaoming’s thoughts weren’t entirely wrong.

Currently, Kang Seo-jun’s strength was only ’19’.

Indeed, his pure specs were lower than Li Xiaoming’s.

However….

◆Traits

[Downtown Reconstruction Serum (Full Body) Lv. Legendary], [Extreme Yang Body Lv. Rare+], [Extreme Yin Body Lv. Rare+], [Innate Martial Body Lv. Rare]….

With numerous physical buff traits, Kang Seo-jun had already overpowered Kuyamoto Kenji, who was stronger than Li Xiaoming.

His actual physical capabilities were above [B] rank.

Moreover, with Li Xiaoming’s throat being choked, oxygen was cut off from his brain.

Without oxygen supply to the brain, no matter how high his strength was, he couldn’t exert it properly.

‘No, this can’t be! If this continues…!’

Just as he thought he would lose consciousness and his brain would be damaged,

– Whoosh!!! –

Kang Seo-jun threw Li Xiaoming out of the classroom like a shot put.

– Swish!!! –

Li Xiaoming flew through the air and slammed into the wall like a wet rag.

– Thud!!! –

The sound was like a leather sack bursting.

“Ugh, ughhh!!!”

The impact felt like his spine was about to snap.

Unfortunately, his disc hit the edge of a protruding window frame, sending a sharp pain through his entire nervous system.

“Ugh, ughhhh!!!”

The extreme pain caused his diaphragm to spasm, making it hard to breathe.

The sturdy construction materials of the academy only added to the damage.

– Tremble, tremble…. –

But there was no time to be paralyzed by the pain.

‘Ugh, I have to get up…!’

He didn’t know when the guy might come back to choke him again.

Li Xiaoming, lying on the floor, struggled to get up as quickly as possible.

– Stagger! –

– Thud! –

“…Ugh!”

However, with his vision blurred, it was difficult to muster the strength to get up.

‘Damn it…. My legs won’t support me…!’

– Wriggle, wriggle…. –

– Stagger, stagger…. –

Even so, Li Xiaoming didn’t give up and kept struggling.

But in the end, he failed to get back up.

He only managed to clean the floor with his clothes.

‘Ugh, ugh…!’

Kang Seo-jun strode over to Li Xiaoming.

Then he squatted in front of him and grabbed his hair.

– Crunch! –

Li Xiaoming’s gaze was forcibly lifted.

Kang Seo-jun sighed as he looked at the half-conscious Li Xiaoming.

“Sigh…. Seriously. Why didn’t you just stay in China instead of coming to Korea….”

“……!”

At those words, a chill ran down Li Xiaoming’s spine.

‘He knows me!?’

– Shake, shake. –

Kang Seo-jun shook Li Xiaoming’s head.

With all his strength drained, Li Xiaoming was helplessly swayed by the motion.

“From now on, when I tell you to move, just move. Okay? Listen when I speak. You understand Korean, don’t you?”

“……Ugh, ugh.”

“Answer properly.”

“…Ugh, ugh!”

“You won’t listen if I just talk, right?”

Kang Seo-jun clenched his large fist.

“Ah!”

Finally, Li Xiaoming shouted urgently.

“Ah, ugh, ugh! I got it…! Stop! Please, stop!”

He waved his hands frantically, shouting in desperation.

He had completely lost his will to fight.

“Sigh….”

But Kang Seo-jun still wasn’t satisfied with the response.

“That’s not it.”

There was a lack of respect and reverence in the answer.

“You should speak respectfully. Got it?”

Li Xiaoming was the type who, if not thoroughly crushed, would eventually crawl back up.

He needed to be stomped on so thoroughly that he wouldn’t dare to rise again.

“Answer.”

“……Ah, ah.”

Li Xiaoming couldn’t easily respond.

‘No matter what, speaking respectfully is a bit…!’

He felt that if he just spoke respectfully, the other side might let him go.

But the pride he had grown up with as the grandson of the Hwangryong Group couldn’t be discarded so easily.

“Sigh…. You really can’t be reasoned with.”

He kept giving him chances, but he just kept kicking them away.

From Kang Seo-jun’s perspective, it was deeply regrettable.

“It seems you don’t like it when I speak nicely.”

Kang Seo-jun sighed deeply, lowering his head.

“Then I have no choice but to use violence!!!”

“Hi, hiyah! I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!!”

As Kang Seo Jun raised his fist, Li Xiaoming frantically waved his hands and apologized. The sudden surge of extreme fear had overridden his pride.

“Sob, sob…! Sob…!”

After apologizing in formal language, tears inexplicably started to flow down his cheeks. He couldn’t understand why he was being beaten like this. Although he harbored deep malice in his heart, it was only his inner thoughts. On the surface, he had merely blocked the path for about 10 seconds. Was that a serious crime in Korea? It was almost homeroom time, so why weren’t any instructors coming to stop the fight?

– Thud. –

Kang Seo Jun released Li Xiaoming’s head as if discarding it.

“Let’s do better from now on, Li Xiaoming.”

– Flinch. –

Li Xiaoming flinched when he heard his name from Kang Seo Jun’s mouth.

“Y-Yes…!”

As expected, this guy knew who he was. He had picked a fight knowing full well.

‘W-What if….’

Li Xiaoming sensed some kind of conspiracy.

‘This might all be a trap….’

A trap set by the Korean government to check a promising talent from China. Perhaps the academy was designed to prevent foreign talents from obtaining the ‘Fruit of the Sun.’ It made sense. A mere cadet not even in the database knew who he was and picked a fight. And while he was being beaten, no instructors appeared even though it was almost homeroom time. It was as if everything was designed to trap him….

Of course, all of this was merely due to Kang Seo Jun’s luck stat of ’50.’

Maybe the ‘Fruit of the Sun’ was too much from the start.’

He hadn’t expected the Korean Hunter Academy to be so thoroughly prepared. Not only was the preparation perfect, but….

‘There are too many strong people….’

That red monster, this muscle-bound guy….

‘Park Shin-hoo, Jin Se-rin, and Lim Chae-won were just background characters….’

He thought he only needed to worry about Kuyamoto Kenji, but that was a huge mistake.

‘Even Kuyamoto Kenji might struggle here….’

Li Xiaoming’s confidence quickly deflated.

‘I want to go back to China…. Grandpa….’

He began to seriously consider dropping out.

Stellaport Hospital.

Ranma’s consultation room.

The head of the Kuyamoto family, who had come to Korea due to Kuyamoto Kenji’s serious injury, asked with a grave expression.

“Is that really the only way?”

Ranma had only one answer.

“I’m sorry, but the only way to completely heal Young Master Kenji is TS.”

It was a confident answer, leaving no room for exceptions.

“…Then there’s no choice. I’ll leave it to you.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Musashi finally allowed Kenji’s TS.

“Master!”

“Enough! The decision is made.”

The attendant secretary pleaded for reconsideration, but Musashi dismissed it with a single stroke. After all, he would gain another cute granddaughter.

“Please take good care of my grandson. No, my granddaughter.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

Musashi exchanged a brief farewell with Ranma and stepped outside.

“Phew…. What is this….”

Such a disaster had occurred less than a week after sending his grandson to Korea.

“I’ve driven my grandson into a dead end.”

“…….”

The attendant secretary couldn’t say anything in response to the family head’s self-reproach.

The head of the family felt a deep sense of guilt, and his attendant couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

“Have you found the one who did this to my grandson?”

“……That is….”

“Never mind. I don’t need to see it.”

It seemed they hadn’t found the culprit yet, but he had a hunch.

“Wasn’t there a similar incident just two weeks ago?”

The incident where Park Shin-hoo was kidnapped by demons and severely injured, leading to TS surgery.

That incident was the reason Kenji was sent to Korea in the first place.

“The demons who kidnapped Park Shin-hoo of the Taesan Group…. They must be the ones who did this to my grandson as well.”

At first, it was just a suspicion.

And that suspicion turned into certainty after comparing the conditions of Park Shin-hoo and Kenji.

“They gouged out one eye, removed his testicles, and necrotized his mana circuits with sinister power. They crippled my grandson in the same way they did to the child of the Taesan Group.”

A fierce anger gleamed in the eyes of Kuyamoto Musashi.

“The Red Cross Society.”

The demonic criminal organization known for kidnapping and crippling Park Shin-hoo.

“Those bastards must have crippled my grandson too.”

He didn’t know why or for what reason they were indiscriminately hunting promising hunters in Korea.

But it didn’t matter.

“If we don’t know, we’ll just capture them and find out.”

Musashi ordered his attendant.

“I will mobilize the family.”

“…Understood.”

“Prepare for war. The enemy is the Red Cross Society.”

The frost in Musashi’s eyes grew even colder.

“We will make those vermin pay dearly for daring to touch us.”

It was another moment where an unexpected opportunity presented itself to Kang Seo-jun.
