98 – Chapter 98
“Ugh…”
Nikolai couldn’t think of a way to defeat his opponent.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Hearing ridicule and feeling humiliated, Nikolai tried to concoct a method as best he could, but he could not find a way out.
He had never felt so helpless before, but the difference in skills was so obvious that he had no choice but to admit that his opponent was much stronger.
“Please step back.”
In the end, Nikolai, unable to find a way out, gritted his teeth and said.
“It feels like you are asking for something that is too dignified for the attitude of the person asking for it.”
At the words of Ham Jae-won, who smiled with an arrogant expression and demanded humiliating remarks, Nikolai gave up the game.
“I lost.”
It was clear that this person deliberately pretended to be weak in the first game.
After losing the first game a bit badly, Nikolai, who thought he deserved it, accepted the bet, and now he could see that he had been completely duped.
“Okay then, the penalty goes in!”
When Nikolai stuck out his head, Jaewon Ham prepared to hit him.
Ham Jae-Won’s Tak-Bam, who has no body strengthening ability, will not be able to deal any damage to Nikolai, but the story is a little different if he uses his ability.
Padding weave
In front of my eyes, I could see a white glowing electric current condensed in my fingers.
Perfect!
“Rurrr!”
Nikolai, who has been certified to be immune to electric shocks, does not fall into a situation where he loses control of his muscles because of his electric shocks, but he has to endure his pain.
“Let’s play one more game.”
“Ah~ I am always welcome. But are you okay? It’s already gone six times.”
“Do more.”
“Okay.”
Nikolay arranged the go stones on the board with great speed, wanting to win quickly and hit even one.

After the indiscriminate murder occurred, additional patrol plans were made for the heroes, and Nikolai, McCoy, and Han Seung-hee also worked in three shifts.
When such a big incident happens, the Hero Association often increases the patrol time and goes into a state of alert, but it wasn’t a meaningless action at all.
Since there is a high probability that a copycat crime will occur if a major issue occurs, for the time being, we will have to rotate on standby without a break.
“Ah~ Because of a madman, what is this? I’m on vacation and I’m called out, damn it!”
As if not to dream of copycat crimes, the Hero Association announced that it would strengthen Seoul’s vigilance with the highest alert for the time being, and released a list of famous heroes who will be on duty.
With the persuasion of the Hero Association, Ham Jae-won was included in the list of famous heroes, and he had no choice but to return his vacation and stand by with Nikolai.
“Ha ha. Can’t you do anything about this? You have to pay for the high salary.”
Ham Jae-won, who felt bored with the sudden start of work, proposed to Nikolai.
“Hey. Nikolai. I’m bored. Do you want to play concave?”
“Omok? Well, that’s good.”
In case of copycat crimes, police patrols and patrols of heroes were increased, so even if some incidents occurred, there were many heroes on patrol, so there was no request for support.
Thanks to this, we were able to stand by without being mobilized in line with the purpose of the original founding purpose of the special ability response team, which is to deal with people with abilities that are difficult to deal with with normal people.
From the standpoint of the response team hero, who was called out for every incident due to lack of manpower, this incident rather made him free.
Of course, if a big incident happened, he would go to the most dangerous place faster than anyone else, but there was no villain big enough to commit work while the police and heroes were busy like this attacked beehive.
The first edition of Omok, which started lightly.
Compared to rumors that Ham Jae-won is so good at playing concave, it seemed more capable than I thought.
“Ah…! I didn’t see that.”
Nikolai, who lost narrowly in the first game, which was tight in its own way, had an ambiguous feeling whether senior Ham Jae-won was not as good as rumored or if he was better than he thought.
“Phew… I barely won. Nikolai, you are doing better than I thought.”
“Your senior won, right? I heard rumors that you’re good at it, but you’re really good at it.”
“If you just do it, it’s not fun. Would you like to bet on something?”
“What shall I bet? Some money…”
“Oh, definitely not betting money. What do you want to bet on for the night?”
“A night out?”
Of course, according to the rules of the hero, gambling with money or hitting each other’s body was prohibited, but it was not followed very well.
It was difficult to control even light pranks and bets in the Hero Association.
Nikolai looked at Ham Jae-won with a strange look as he asked for an overnight bet against a body-strengthening person.
“Oh, of course, I’m not saying to do it with all my might. Let’s just play it lightly. If you hit it with all your might, there won’t be many people who can survive, right?”
“So to what extent?”
“If ability control is as good as your level, can’t you adjust it to the level of normal people?”
Nikolai, who was proud of his body-enhancing level of control, was easily persuaded by his compliments.
“Ah. Well, that’s easy. But even if the sunbae hits me with all my might, I won’t be okay…”
“You know how to control body enhancement, but I also know how to control lightning ability. You can do it with a little bit of electric shock.”
Nikolai should have stopped at this point.
Damn!
Padding weave
“Ugh!”
“Do you want to play one more game?”
“Yes.”
Nikolai, who had already lost three rounds, was slowly noticing that something was strange.
Nikolai is not overwhelming in all rounds, but he was defeated a bit unfortunately.
However, he continued to challenge the feeling that he could win if he did a little better, and he couldn’t win a single fight.
“Brother! I deliberately pretended not to!”
Nikolai, who narrowly lost No. 6, Could not erase his doubts.
“I’m not pretending to be bad, I just set it to the same level. Would you like to stop right now?”
I noticed the difference in my skills now, but I couldn’t stop after getting hit 6 times unilaterally by lightning strikes.
Perfect!
“Rurrr!”
“Why don’t we stop at this point?”
“Again!”
Nikolai, who had lost 14 matches in a row, had no intention of stopping until he beat Ham Jae-won, who hit his forehead with an exhilarating laugh.
In the ensuing round, Nikolai felt keenly that he would never be able to win.
“Nope…”
Senior Ham Jae-won, who started playing Ohmok in a strange way as if he would not hide his skills, was completely fooling Nikolai.
He started to lay stones in a position that had nothing to do with Nikolai’s attacking position while doing minimal defense. He thought it was an opportunity and attacked hard. Realized.
“This is called Naliljin, but if this happens, you can no longer make Omok. You should have known the difference in skill, so let’s stop at this point.”
“Again.”
Nikolai, who silently removed the stones, had no intention of giving up.
Once. He was confident that even if he made just one mistake, he would give back as much as he had received so far.
“…….”
Perfect!
“Rurrr!”
“Hey… Nikolai. It’s my fault. Can we stop now? You look scary right now.”
“Again.”
It was Ham Jae-won who kept hitting and not losing a single game, but after 20 rounds, because of Nikolai, who became expressionless, Ham Jae-won started to break out in a cold sweat even though he was winning.
“Hey. It’s my fault. Admit that you hid your skills. I’ll buy you some food after work later, so can’t we stop?”
However, Nikolai quietly laid the go stone.
“…….”
At first, Nikolai kept playing Gomok with the thought of ‘Only one machine…!’ Because the medicine was high, but after realizing that there was no chance of winning at all, he pretended to be angry at the thought that he had been beaten, but instead he was embarrassed and struck with a shock. Seeing this weakening Ham Jae-won, he began to enjoy it.
Pajik
Ham Jae-won, who had weakened the electric shock to the point where he couldn’t feel anything now, looked really uneasy, so he felt like he had to stop at this point.
Passasac
“Huh?”
Ham Jae-won was breathing in a cold sweat after completing 4 stones, struggling with the thought that if he made one mistake, he might taste hell.
“Hey! What is that? That is against the rules!”
Nikolai placed a stone on the spot where the four stones were completed, and the Go stone underneath was ground to pieces.
“Thinking about it, my stone is stronger than the senior stone, so if I just put it on top of it, I could win.”
Ham Jae-won, who was quick-witted, immediately noticed that this was Nikolai’s gesture of reconciliation and prayed.
“Sorry! I was deliberately pretending to be weak and trying to tease you. I’ll just give you one shot, so just save me!”
“Okay. Brother. But will you be okay?”
Gulp
Ham Jae-won’s eyes caught a huge hand with Nikolai’s veins and thick fingers.
Ham Jae-won, who was well aware of Nikolai’s ability, looked like he would faint even if he hit him with all his might.
“Hey… you have to control your strength well?”
Of course, Nikolai didn’t want to see his senpai’s brain by barely betting, so he decided not to hit him on the forehead in order to prevent any accident.
Although she was relieved of her anger at the way her senior was becoming more and more servile, she was very upset.
“Then put your palms on me. Let’s make an agreement with one night in the palm of your hand.”
“The palm? Okay. Phew. To be honest, I was too scared to get hit in the forehead because I did something.”
Jaewon Ham sighed in relief and raised his hand.
Wow!
“aaah!! Hey! aaagh!”
Nikolai hit the palm of his hand enough to keep his bones from breaking with perfect strength control, but Ham Jae-won grabbed his palm and rolled on the floor.
“Evil! f*ck! Aagh!”
Nikolai, who had been completely fooled and hit on the forehead in his thirties, felt relieved at last.
· · · · ·
“Hey. Is this swelling? Aren’t you doing something wrong with your power control?”
“No, to be honest, seniors are the worst. You deliberately pretended to be weak and made fun of me completely.”
“Look at this. Do you really have to go to the hospital?”
In the center of Jaewon Ham’s palm, the area where Nikolai’s fingers had touched was swollen.
“A. It’s good enough to just leave it alone.”
“It still hurts so f*cking much… It really isn’t something wrong with the bone, right?”
“Bone? If you have a broken or cracked bone, you can’t even move your finger because it hurts right now.”
Ham Jae-won whined that he was sick for a while, but by the end of his shift, he was mostly fine.
