“Joe, are you modest?”

"no."

“Master, it stinks here and it’s extremely narrow.”

Isaac said looking around the messy, moldy semi-basement room.

Robben looked at Isaac's rude words, but Park Hyunsoo, the owner of the room, only tilted his head.

Little French.

Park Hyunsoo couldn't understand French.

It wasn't that he wasn't paying attention, so he looked at the boy's expression and seemed to know what he was talking about.

“Isn’t the house a little messy?”

“Ah, do you speak French?”

"no. It’s just written on that friend’s face.”

At that, Robben laughed awkwardly.

Park Hyunsoo swallowed her dry saliva as he looked at Robben.

Once brought into the house, the opponent is the best hunter in the world, whether from strength, power, or honor.

Such a great man came to this place in person.

As Park Hyunsoo knows, Robben was famous for having agents in her interviews as well.

Did you say that fewer than 100 people in the world have actually seen your face?

‘But who the hell are you?’

A white boy with a red tinge in his hair, who continues to look around the room with a disrespectful expression on his face.

I don't think he's Robben's child.

“Who is that friend?”

“Ah, the introduction is late. Isaac.”

Robben called Isaac.

Isaac, sniffing his nose, turned his head to Robben's call.

“Could I have told you not to?”

“I smell something, what should I do?”

“That’s why I didn’t want to bring you.”

“It’s too late to regret.”

"noisy. Introduce yourself to Hyunsoo.”

“Can’t you understand?”

“If you do, do it. And can you do it in English?”

As Robben opened his eyes terrifyingly and spoke, Isaac flinched and looked at Park Hyunsoo.

Even though he couldn't understand the conversation, Park Hyunsoo seemed to know roughly what was being said in the atmosphere.

And when he heard the word 'English', he seemed to say hello in English.

Isaac said with a frown on his face.

“I’m Isaac.”

Although he spoke briefly in English to Park Hyunsoo, who does not know French, it was a very rude greeting.

Park Hyunsoo grinned at the boy's troubled expression.

“Yes, I am Park Hyunsoo.”

Park Hyunsoo answered in Korean.

Isaac's face contorted for a moment.

“Turn it off (Fxxk).”

He even spit out swear words in English that anyone could understand.

It was perhaps natural that Robben's honey chestnut was directed towards Isaac's forehead.

* * *

"sorry. The child is not yet mature.”

“It’s usually like that at that age.”

In fact, it's not easy to not have cheap things to that extent.

Park Hyunsoo saw the boy rubbing his forehead and glaring at him.

It looked like he was very upset.

Seeing Isaac like that, Park Hyunsoo smirked.

"master!"

“Sit down.”

As Isaac jumped to his feet, Robben commanded in a cold voice.

Even if Isaac had just left, he couldn't act recklessly even in front of Robben.

He clicked his tongue briefly and was forced to sit down.

Park Hyunsoo couldn't stop thinking about suing the boy.

"therefore. May I ask why the chairman came to my room?”

“I will tell you straight-forward.”

"which."

“Hold hands with me.”

At the sudden suggestion, Park Hyunsoo furrowed one eyebrow.

“Exactly what it means to hold hands.”

Robben was the head of the Portal Countermeasures Committee, and, broadly speaking, Park Hyunsoo himself was a hunter belonging to the artillery squadron.

Unless it's the "Dark Spirits" who are Awakened people who rebel against the will of the Battery, the Awoken are forcibly joined to the Army.

That's why I couldn't understand what Robben was saying.

“I know what you did in Paradise Fragments.”What he said with a calm face was never simple.

"Yes?"

“It is literally. I have seen all that you and the Red Lion Guild did in the shards.”

“What, no, how? Was the chairman there too?”

Robben shook his head.

“Before I explain, do you know anything about my abilities?”

"no."

If it was the same S-class, Yoo-Rak Ha, he didn't know.

Robben said he knew that, and wiped his dry face with his hand.

“I can read ‘time’.”

“… … Yes?"

“It is precisely possible to peek into the drawings of time and the ‘space’ that extends above and below it.”

It was incomprehensible.

drawing of time?

Space that stretches up and down?

The awakening itself deals with unrealistic forces, but space-time was another story.

"So… … .”

“Simply put, I can manipulate space-time. More precisely, reality manipulation.”

“No, don’t be joking.”

“It’s a joke.”

Robben drank the cheap instant coffee at once.

It had cooled down a lot, so the coffee ran smoothly down the esophagus.

And when Robben put the glass down again.

sway~

The coffee was filled like a lie.

[Just now, the space is strangely… … .]

The first thing I noticed was Chungyeong.

He was still quietly watching, but he had no choice but to open his mouth at the sudden change.

The problem was that I felt a change, but nothing had changed.

But Park Hyunsoo confirmed the change.

“Coffee… … .”

“It’s usually like this.”

“Reality manipulation is not common, Master.”

Isaac muttered in a nonsensical voice.

I've seen it several times, but I can't quite get used to it.

What does it mean for those who manipulate space-time to search for singularities because they feel sorry for them?

“Back in time… … ?”

“It could be.”

“Is that, is that possible?”

Park Hyunsoo did not believe it even though he had actually seen it.

Couldn't it be a simple trick or the ability to refill coffee?

“It was impressive to see you inflict unilateral violence against a knight named Knight.”

But every word from Robben.

“And what I encountered with the ritual.”

His ability was telling the truth.

Robben sips his coffee again.

Chungyeong's eyes narrowed.

[This human. It smells very dangerous.]

It was more irritating than the smell of the ritual.

Perhaps, more than the voices heard in the dark.

Even Chungyeong, who has lived for more than 100 years, has never seen a human who manipulates time and space, so it was natural.

The concept itself was different from illusion.

“If it’s such an ability, I think it’s kind of a secret.”

"Yes. Few people know my true abilities.”

“Then why to me?”

“Like I said. Because I want to hold your hand. Shouldn't I have to show my hand too?"

Literally, Robben revealed a huge hand.

Conversely, he could not understand why a person with such godlike powers would want his powers.

Robben raised the corners of his lips and opened his mouth.

“You look like you don’t know why you need me.”

“… … Do you read your thoughts?”

“It’s just written that way on your face.”

"i See. Then can I ask why?”

“Of course.”

Robben looked at Isaac, stirring the coffee with a teaspoon.

“This boy.”

"Yes?"

“This boy is. He is one of the three keys to saving the world.”

The key to saving the world?

“We call it the singularity.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

“And, we have determined that you are also a singularity.”

"Yes?"

“An achievement achieved by a hunter who had only awakened for a month. And the great power it has now, and the greater potential it has.”

Robben's eyes lit up for an instant.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? Why did I have such tremendous power, and why am I the only one growing so rapidly unlike other hunters?”

Park Hyunsoo did not respond.

As he said, Park Hyunsoo's life changed dramatically from one moment on.

It all started when I met Chungyeong.

When I first met Chungyeong, Park Hyunsoo was not a hunter.

According to Chungyeong, I was awakened and was able to enter the hunter's path in earnest.

It was a rapid growth that was incomparable to others.

Objectively and subjectively, it is beyond the comprehensible range.

I just thought that I was lucky and that my potential was great.

“Because I am the singularity.”

"That's right. I was convinced to see you in your fragments. Best of all, I couldn't interfere.

"Interference?"

“Like I said, I can manipulate space-time. This means that you can even influence the behavior of others. Depending on how good you are, you have a lot to prepare, but if you put your mind to it, it can completely change a person's life.”

It was a scary word.

Robben continued her words in a blunt way.

“But it is impossible for you. And so was this boy.”

The ability that I thought was absolute did not work, an object appeared.

“It was the singularities.”

“You mean that power doesn’t work for the singularity?”

“This is how we defined the singularity.”

Robben looked straight at Park Hyunsoo.

“Second generation.”

second generation.

They were the singularity.

‘Someday, a great evil will come down in the world that human strength cannot handle. This is a confirmed fact, and if in doubt, you can check with your boss. That's why we need you. Please join us in the fight against the evil that will come one day, and to protect the planet.’

Park Hyunsoo asked for a day to think.

Robben said he would come back tomorrow without hesitation, as he expected, and he left.

but

“… … Why aren't you going?"

“What?”

"Damn it. Why aren't you going?”

“Ah.”

As Isaac rummaged through his arms, he pulled out a little mechanism.

He wanted one to manipulate it with his fingers.

"iced coffee. Can you hear me?”

I heard fluent Korean.

Park Hyunsoo's eyes widened.

"what? Did you know how to speak Korean?”

“Why do you need to know that? This is an interpreter.”

interpreter?

Oh my God, is there such a thing?

“This was given to me by Andersen some time ago, but I forgot.”

“Andersen?”

“Research Center Andersen. Ah, that Andersen, an S-class hunter.”

Isaac spoke as if it wasn't a big deal.

As a boy with Robben, he seemed to be familiar with Andersen, the head of the research center of the battery unit.

Andersen could make such an interpreter.

“So, why are you here?”

"just."

"just?"

“Actually, it’s not just that.”

Isaac smiled mischievously.

Park Hyunsoo wrinkled one eye.

"What?"

“Let’s fight with me.”

“… … What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Is that something special? Let's see who is stronger. Or are you scared?”

Park Hyunsoo was stunned.

I just heard a great story, and the shock didn't go away, but an arrogant kid suddenly starts fighting.

His head was throbbing.

“Stop it. I don’t feel like that now.”

“I don’t feel like going crazy~ That’s right. hey what It’s a singularity, so I followed it, and it’s terribly boring.”Isaac followed Park Hyunsoo's words, sarcastic, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Park Hyunsoo knew that the boy's remarks were an absurd provocation.

I know.

“You need to change that habit.”

“Come now?”

"how old are you?"

“I heard that in Korea people say age a lot, was it true?”

Park Hyunsoo flinched.

Come to think of it, did I say that age is not very important in the West?

I don't know if it's real, but it seems that Isaac's reaction was right.

Park Hyunsoo coughed and stood up.

"Follow me."

“Where?”

“You want to fight? Let's go to a place to fight."

Isaac's face distorted at the word 'a place to fight'.

Where is the place to go in this narrow place?

“Are you going to fight in the room? I know a quiet place.”

“Jochi~”

Isaac got up and followed Park Hyunsoo happily.

* * *

“I think we can fight in moderation here.”

Park Hyunsoo brought Isaac to the abandoned apartment building after Portal Impact.

There is a street in the residential area, and since it is a place not visited by people, it will be okay if it is a little noisy.

“Are you in a good mood?”

“You’ve been challenging me, so can I set the rules?”

"great."

Isaac rubbed both his hands, preparing to fight.

“There is only one rule. Fight until one faints.”

Isaac responded sarcastically to that.

“Are you okay though? I think it could be even more humiliating.”

“You cheeky kid.”

I was already in trouble, so I needed a place to unwind.

“Don’t regret it.”

“I regret it.”

Isaac stretched his right arm to the side.

Red light gathered in his hand, and it became a very sharp looking sword.

Even compared to Isaac's body, it was a fairly long sword.

“Why do I regret this exciting situation?”

The boy's pupil was torn lengthwise.

It was quite terrifying.

[I feel an ominous power.]

Park Hyunsoo sympathized with Chungyeong's words and relaxed lightly.

[It's Hyunsoo.]

Chungyeong did not dare to speak behind the scenes.

“Look.”

Park Hyunsoo clenched his fists tightly.

and kicked the ground

It was almost at the same time that Isaac began to move.

The speed is a whistle.

An unpleasant aura welled up from Isaac's body.

It was like the image of a devil.

“Ah ha ha ha ha ha!”

As if possessed by madness, Isaac burst into madness.

But.

drip-

Duduk-!!

The laughter stopped quickly.

“Whoa.”

Park Hyunsoo let out a short breath.

The little boy laboredly lowered his head.

Park Hyunsoo's hard fist rested against his left side.

The problem was that it wasn't just touching.

“Ugh… … .”

Isaac's body fell as if torn apart.

Park Hyunsoo lifted the fist that smashed Isaac's three ribs.

“I was a little scared because I came out so hard, isn’t it?”

[Are you talking about that?]

“… … .”

Seeing the teacher's pathetic gaze, the disciple had to keep his mouth shut.
