Uh, hm.

Riak avoided his gaze and mumbled.

Im sorry.

I didnt think that this would happen.

Ohjin stared at Riak with fierce eyes with his naked body crouched up.

After picking up his underwear and pants, he let out a deep sigh.

Haa. So whats the problem?

Look at your body.

Ohjin straightened his arms in front of the mirror.

Muscles like of a statue were prominent thanks to his relentless training, however

Ah, so thats it.

Clap

Ha-eun clapped her hands.

What is it?

Clueless, Ohjin tilted his head.

Take a proper look at your body. Its so skinny that it looks like its about to snap.

Hey, its not that ba

Ohjin observed himself in the mirror once more.

See?

As she said, it was just that some muscles definition. His body was actually so skinny that even his ribs could be seen clearly.

Yeah

He wasnt aware since he had become so used to it, but he came to a realization once it was pointed out.

Argh. I always thought you were too skinny!

Ha-eun smacked his back and reprimanded him.

So what do I have to do?

Why are you asking the obvious?

Riak headed to the drawers that were in the room and opened them with his mouth.

Ratatatatata!

The cheap calorie bars that filled the drawers gushed out.

First of all, throw all of these away.

But those are my precious provisions

Your body is a mess because youre eating things like this! shouted Riak, who then stirred up his lightning.

Bzzzzzzzt!

The blue lightning burnt the piled-up calorie bars to a crisp.

Ahhh!! What are you doing!!

Ohjin freaked out and embraced the calorie bars that had become ashes.

D-Do you know how many days worth of provisions these were!! Its the superfood that allows you to survive with just two a day!!!!

Haa, Riak sighed deeply.

He looked at Ha-eun with a reproaching gaze.

Just how did he become like this?

Uh yeah. A-About that.

Ha-eun avoided his gaze with a perplexed expression.

It was hard to blame Ohjin when the biggest reason he became like that was herself.

Anyways.

Riak continued with a stern expression.

Eat high-protein meat together with all kinds of vegetables from now on.

Huh? Thats it?

Ohjin asked back with a blank expression.

He thought that the balance of mind, technique, and body was a serious problem, but all he had to do was eat healthily.

It was too simple.

It just goes to show how youve been neglecting something so simple until now.

Uhk.

He couldnt make any excuses.

Despite having abundant amounts of cash after obtaining the Cursed Dragons Eye for Ha-eun, excluding special occasions, he had never spent over $5 a day on food.

Ha-eun did nag me about eating too poorly before.

As it was a habit that was second nature to him, it wasnt easy to fix.

The body is the bowl that contains Mind and Technique. Why are you obsessed over the other two to near extreme levels but not the equally important bowl?

I have no excuses.

He was in the wrong a hundred times over.

As long as one was a living being, nothing gave as much of a direct influence to the body as unbalanced nutrient consumption.

Alright! Since its come to this, lets eat to our hearts content today! shouted Ha-eun with light in her eyes.

Ha-eun?

Kyahaha! Now that I think of it, we havent had our new house celebration party yet. Ill make you something delicious so that your body recovers quickly!

No. Youll destroy every dish if youre the one making them.

T-Trust me! I can cook it really well this time!

It was the tone of a gambler who lost all their wealth.

Ohjin looked at Ha-eun like he didnt believe her.

Goddammit! Just sit still and eat whatever I cook you, bitch!

Swoosh, swoosh

Ha-eun swung her fists.

Alright, alright. Then Ill trust in your skills this time.

Hehe. Of course. Stay still and trust me, okay?

Ha-eun raised her nose and folded up her sleeves.

[Fufu. It looks like fun. As this is something thats for this ladys loving child it looks like I wont be able to sit still!]

Vega showed interest as light glimmered in her eyes.

Like that, Ohjin waited for the two women to finish cooking while lying down on the bed.

Kyaaaa! W-Why is it like this?!

[Hm. Is there a need to annoyingly cook it with fire? With one blow of this ladys lightning, it can be turned into ash.]

Youre not supposed to turn it into ash!!

Phrases that induced extreme anxiety streamed out of the kitchen.

Riak.

What?

Wont eating calorie bars be better than this?

Riak looked away and shut his lips tight.

Haa.

Ohjin sighed deeply and raised himself off the bed.

He took out the USB that he received from Jang Sukho.

Lets look at the information using this spare time.

Ohjin looked down at the USB with a bitter expression.

Tch

He inserted the USB into the laptop after clicking his tongue.

This is

Ohjins eyes narrowed as he read the information.

The goal of the Black Star Organization that Jang Sukho had mentioned.

After killing every single Awakener, they want to make all people equal Awakeners?

Hah, laughed Ohjin.

Nice, Its easy to understand.

Would there exist a plan that was as direct as that one?

Drrr

He scrolled down using the mouse wheel.

P.S. This is nothing but the external goal. Each faction has their own different plans and goals.

Well, it was within the margin of what he expected.

Not all people would obediently follow this insane plan.

Their external goal was just an attractive bait used to increase their forces.

I got the rough idea of what theyre planning.

Ohjin looked through the data and clicked his tongue.

Theyre deeming Awakeners as a kind of privileged class and trying to pull in the non-Awakeners.

The current society could divide people into two categories:

Awakeners who received a celestials stigma and regular people who couldnt.

You didnt have to think hard about which was the privileged in a world crawling with monsters.

The Black Star Organization can grant non-Awakeners a stigma and turn them into Awakeners.

And using that fact, they were trying to use the hatred against Awakeners that couldnt help but develop for non-Awakeners.

It looks like not even Jang Sukho knew about their true goal.

The information that a small fry like Jang Sukho could obtain was limited.

Well, anyways.

Even if it was superficial, it was most likely that getting rid of every single Awakener was one of their main goals.

Its now certain that they need to be eliminated as fast as possible.

Ohjin narrowed his eyes and opened a different file contained within the USB.

Information about the location of a couple of branches and Templars of the Owl Faction that Jang Sukho mentioned was displayed.

While reading the information, a certain name stuck out to his eyes.

[Cheon Woosung]

-The son of the King of Owls, Cheon Doyoon. Called the Kings Delegate and essentially manages the Black Star Organization.

-Suspected to have currently infiltrated the Association.
