The Author's POV

Chapter 491

'That was a lot more painful than I thought.'

Leaning by the wall of the room, I heavily gasped for air.

"Haa...haaa.."

My arm still hurt, but with the aid of the potion that Amanda had given me, I was slowly starting to feel better.

That being said.

"I don't think I can use the fifth movement at its full potential just yet..."

Injuries aside, it became apparent to me that there was still a small way to go for me before being able to use the fifth movement comfortably.

My body could still not withstand the full power of the attack.

If I had to make an estimate, then by the time I reached rank, I would have no problem executing it.

Wait.

Raising my head, my eyes lit up.

"There is actually a way..."

A way for me to use the fifth movement without breaking my body apart.

"Ugh."

Propping my body up with the aid of my arm, Amanda suddenly called out for me. She had a complicated look on her face as she stared at the scar in the distance.

"Ren."

"Yes?"

"Did you do this?"

"...Ah."

Staring into the distance, I finally noticed the long scar tracing across the wall. Not only that, but I was also able to see Jin.

Scratching the back of my head, a wry smile appeared on my face.

"How are you doing Jin? Been a while since I've seen you."

Let's just pretend that nothing happened.

"..."

With his back turned against me, Jin continued to trace his finger across the scar on the wall. He then eventually turned his head and met my eyes.

"How were you able to do this?"

"Well..."

Pursing my lips, and feeling everyone's eyes land on me, I knew that there was no point in feining ignorance. Thus, I just came clean.

"I was just practicing a technique of mine. Didn't think it would end up doing this much damage..."

Actually, I didn't think I would've even have able to pull the move on the first attempt. Even though it wasn't exactly complete, it was still the fifth movement.

Gazing at Amanda from the corner of my eyes, and turning my head to look at the scar again, I apologized.

"Sorry about the scar. If you want me to pa—"

"It's fine."

Amanda sighed.

"Next time choose a more appropriate room."

'Do you think I actually knew this was going to happen?'

No way in hell would I have expected the fifth movement to be so strong.

"...Alright. I will do so."

"Thank you."
