Chapter 895: Responsibility (5)
After leaving the sports field, Yeom Jun-yeol headed toward the building designated for contestants in the finals.
Yong Je-geon, walking beside him, mentioned that the announcement had been made confirming that both Yeom Jun-yeol and Ju Su-hyeok would be the selected members for the exchange competition, but the words barely registered in his ears.
After his duel with Ju Su-hyeok, he couldn’t help but feel down, thinking about Jo Eui-shin, who had been the first to cheer and clap enthusiastically.
‘...I lost again in front of my master.’
Although he had fought with all his might, Yeom Jun-yeol had lost.
He wasn’t feeling humiliated just because of the loss itself.
It was the fact that, having gained a new power through the Inungpa link and excited about the possibility of Hongryonghwa, he now felt ashamed.
‘I still can’t fully handle the Inungpa link, and I failed at Hongryonghwa. Yet, I acted like I had gained immense strength.’
There were many around Yeom Jun-yeol who doted on him excessively.
For the sake of his family and himself, Yeom Jun-yeol had always tried to view himself objectively.
He was aware that he grew up in a blessed environment and had been born with great potential.
Just as there were people like Ma Jin-seung, who relentlessly chased after him every day, trying to defeat him.
