Echoes of the Reverse Planet

Chapter 112

“Speak.”

“If it wouldn’t be a burden to Master!”

“Can we also conduct training on how to use the build?”

“Preferably the method of using it with no assistance too!”

“Please!”

-I’m curious too!! Tell us!!

-Supernatural ability usage taught by Hackphysical? Can’t resist this

-The twins know how to broadcast ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Recording preparation complete

It seemed that Baek Woohyun’s perfect control of the ‘Thunder Dragon’ build he was handling for the first time left quite an impression on the Beau-tiful Twins.

They sparkled their eyes and asked to learn about Baek Woohyun’s build usage. And also, incidentally, how to use supernatural abilities with no assistance.

Viewers who had been sneakily hoping to listen to the training together and improve their skills sent cheers since this was the situation they’d been waiting for.

“…Very well.”

Baek Woohyun nodded and accepted the request.

There was content that aligned with what he had been planning to teach anyway, so he felt no particular need to refuse.

Strictly speaking, it was more about the no-assistance usage method behind it rather than supernatural ability usage, but anyway.

“Alright!” “Master’s the best!”

-Good good

-Let’s get those honey tips~

-I want to use abilities with no assistance too ㅓㅓ

-Been waiting for this ㅎㅎ

“First, you two set assistance to 0 percent…”

“Yes!” “Done!”

To the Beau-tiful Twins who swiftly carried out instructions, Baek Woohyun handed over one physical enhancement-type supernatural ability build.

The twins who checked the supernatural ability build given to them reacted saying “Huh?” “This?”, which was actually unavoidable.

Because it was precisely that supernatural ability build used during Superstar N’s first mission.

“Since you’ve used it before, I’ll skip the detailed explanation of the supernatural ability build.”

“Yes!”

“Then first, try activating the supernatural ability.”

As soon as Baek Woohyun instructed, the Beau-tiful Twins’ bodies were immediately wrapped in blue light.

It was the exact same appearance as during Superstar N.

Where supernatural ability activation status could be confirmed through the blue light.

“Continue maintaining the supernatural ability like that while listening to my explanation.”

“Uwah! Continuous maintenance?” “It’s hard but I’ll try!”

Baek Woohyun nodded satisfactorily and began explaining in a calm tone.

“There are two important things in using supernatural abilities without assistance. Precisely concentration and sensation.”

“Concentration and…” “…Sensation?”

“Both are important factors to the degree that you can’t conclude which is more important. It’s no exaggeration to say they’re essentially alpha and omega.”

If concentration is lacking, the supernatural ability cuts off no matter how excellent the sensation, and no matter how excellent the concentration, if sensation is dull, you can’t use the supernatural ability as desired.

Therefore, to use supernatural abilities without assistance, two things are essential and important: unwavering concentration and sharp sensation.

—That was Baek Woohyun’s theory.

-Oh I’m learning this for the first time

-Me too ㅋㅋ

-Since we don’t do no assistance, we wouldn’t know

-So concentration and sensation are more important than ability type

Viewers listening quietly exclaimed in admiration.

They showed no sign of questioning how Baek Woohyun knew about this, which was actually natural when you think about it.

The fact that concentration and sensation are important for using supernatural abilities without assistance wasn’t information known anywhere.

Since he was revealing information no one knew, they assumed he was sharing information learned through past ‘Reverse Planet’ gameplay.

In reality, he was explaining what he’d realized directly with his body through ‘that side’, but either way, it was the same for those receiving it.

“The training we’ll do from now is training to build concentration among those.”

“Only concentration? Not building sensation?”

To Jeong Nayeon’s question, Baek Woohyun answered quietly.

“Sensation is basically something you must be born with, and if not, ultimately only acquisition through repetitive supernatural ability use is everything. You’ll have to do that as homework later.”

“Aha.”

“On the other hand, concentration can be maintained without cutting off even while using supernatural abilities in combat, depending on training. Think of commonly used concentration enhancement methods and it’s easy.”

“I understand perfectly!”

“If you build concentration that way, situations like the supernatural ability turning off because you’re listening to explanations like now will disappear.”

“Ah.” “Hehe.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ caught

-Pretending it didn’t turn off is hilarious ㅋㅋ

-You’re watching right in front, how would you not know ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So shameless it’s cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The Beau-tiful Twins, who had turned off the supernatural ability once from failing to maintain it while listening to explanations and whose blue light was flickering even now, laughed awkwardly.

It goes without saying that viewers giggled seeing their appearance.

“So how do you build concentration?”

“Well, as always—”

Baek Woohyun’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

“Extreme situations are opportunities for growth.”

“Again?!”

-There it is, “that theory”!

-Why does Hackphysical like extreme situations so much ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The mindset that pushing hard will make you grow

-This is Hackphysical-style education!

“You two.”

“Yes!” “Please speak!”

Baek Woohyun, who finished explaining cleanly while conversing with Jeong Nayeon, called the Beau-tiful Twins, and they answered while straightening their backs.

It was an answer full of motivation, perhaps feeling that the real beginning had finally arrived.

“There’s only one thing you two must do. Maintain concentration no matter what happens. Understand?”

“Understood!” “Got it!”

“Think that the moment the supernatural ability cuts off, you die.”

Baek Woohyun, who declared decisively, drew up the power of the ‘Thunder Dragon’ build and manifested as a dragon.

A white dragon with pure white scales glinted golden eyes and gazed at the Beau-tiful Twins standing before it.

As if carefully gauging their capabilities.

Then soon.

Gooooo—!

“Urk?!”

An overwhelming aura poured from the white dragon.

That wasn’t simply aftermath of energy from activating supernatural abilities to the extreme.

Rather, it was closer to the characteristic presence possessed by a powerful creature appearing in myths called a ‘dragon’ being emitted through borrowing the power of supernatural abilities.

The Beau-tiful Twins, who took this head-on, momentarily felt their breath catch and felt their bodies trembling unconsciously.

Also that they almost unconsciously fell to their knees.

Could the Dragon Fear frequently appearing in fantasy novels be like this!

Sssss…

In a situation where a ridiculous monster bared its fangs before them, naturally concentration on supernatural ability use couldn’t possibly be maintained.

The blue light wrapping the Beau-tiful Twins’ bodies wavered, gradually weakened, then silently faded away.

When the supernatural ability cut off like that, Baek Woohyun’s golden eyes looking down at the twins sharpened.

Flash! Kururung—!

Lightning, and thunder one beat late.

The lightning suddenly shot from the cintamani directly struck the Beau-tiful Twins.

Unable to use supernatural abilities, they couldn’t withstand the attack containing the essence of the ‘Thunder Dragon’ build and died, turning to ash.

Looking at them who immediately respawned and revived, Baek Woohyun spoke as if growling.

“Did I not clearly tell you to think you die the moment the supernatural ability cuts off?”

“Uwah—” “Sorry!”

-You mean you’d actually kill them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It wasn’t just a simple metaphor ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah ㅋㅋ I didn’t think you’d actually kill them ㅋㅋ

-Can’t block attacks? Die! Can’t maintain ability? Die!

‘LifeAchievementGeuma’ donated ‘1000 won’!

[Can’t maintain ability = death (for real)]

“Maintain the supernatural ability in any situation. Unless you want to keep dying.”

When intense energy flashed from Baek Woohyun’s eyes as he declared decisively, the Beau-tiful Twins trembled.

It was the moment when Hackphysical-style “learn while dying” education, which would become famous as the symbol of ‘Hack Disciple’ in the future, was finally revealed to the world.

***

“Today’s broadcast was very good too!”

After all training ended and the broadcast wrapped up well.

In the training ground where even Cha Seongcheol and the Beau-tiful Twins had left, Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon were having a conversation.

More precisely, Jeong Nayeon was compiling viewer opinions and giving feedback about today’s ‘Hack Tour’ and ‘Hack Disciple’ content.

It was time set aside separately to explain to Baek Woohyun, who lacked knowledge about personal broadcasting, which parts worked and which parts weren’t good.

It was closer to conveying reactions rather than telling him exactly what and how to fix things.

“Viewer reactions were roughly like this, I’ll look at the community later and tell you more!”

“Right. Well, today wasn’t bad either.”

“Not bad? It was extremely good! Oh right, so how was it for you? It was your first time doing Hack Disciple.”

“Mm.”

Baek Woohyun, who briefly reflected on the time teaching the Beau-tiful Twins, nodded.

“It was good. To the degree I think accepting them as disciples was the right choice.”

“Wow, that much?”

“They couldn’t feel pain due to pain perception limits, but even though I pushed them hard enough to be mentally difficult, they followed well.”

“I think I know what that means! Both of them definitely kept dying but absolutely never gave up.”

“Their growth speed is faster than expected too. They had more talent than I assessed just from encountering them through videos.”

Baek Woohyun’s evaluation was sincere without any hint of empty words.

Though the beginning was accepting them as disciples to prove coaching ability before the SSR Cup, even otherwise, they were at a level worth raising.

It’s not for nothing that he thought if they were on ‘that side’, he would’ve somehow tried to pull them into the fighting side. They had that much value.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied too!”

Jeong Nayeon, who had been nodding, asked as if suddenly remembering.

“Come to think of it, what happened with that thing from before?”

“Huh? What?”

“You said you talked with Kang Soyul about SSR Cup-related stuff.”

“Ah. That.”

Baek Woohyun explained how Kang Soyul had previously asked as if subtly probing about becoming the same team in the SSR Cup, and how he’d given her a not-bad answer.

Though it wasn’t quite answering “I will!” to an outright “Please come to our team!” request, it was practically the same as promising.

In reality, he planned to go to that side if her team designated him as coach.

“I also refused the broadcast guest invitation before, so this time I should do the same team.”

“Right. And preferably it’s better to team with someone you know at least a little.”

“Anyway, there has to be less awkwardness in a collaboration to be able to do anything,” Jeong Nayeon added, then soon smirked.

This was because she couldn’t picture Baek Woohyun backing away from being awkward in a collaboration.

Only the image of him entering as coach and working Kang Soyul and team members hard like teaching the Beau-tiful Twins faintly rose.

“That’s my plan anyway, and I did give an answer, but I wonder if I’ll really receive that many designations.”

“Put those worries to rest.”

Jeong Nayeon strongly patted Baek Woohyun’s back.

“If they saw ‘Hack Disciple’ following Superstar N, there’s absolutely no way they won’t choose you who appeared as official coach.”

“Is that so?”

“Anyway, if you don’t particularly refuse, each team gets one official coach attached. Then as they say, red skirts are best, so you who properly proved your ability are better!”

Superstar N and Hack Disciple.

These two contents appealed Baek Woohyun’s coaching ability to all those involved in the SSR Cup as powerfully as could be.

To the degree one might think there could be a scramble between teams over him.

‘No, there will definitely be a scramble. A scramble to obtain Woohyun as coach.’

The participants’ goal must surely be victory.

Then they’ll surely choose Baek Woohyun.

Jeong Nayeon, who guessed that fact, already felt anticipation for the SSR Cup.
