Chapter 449: Chapter 449

.

Moving me out of his way quite roughly, Ban Hwee Hyul slowly raised himself up. The aura he was emitting looked somewhat different from earlier. No, it wasn’t just different; he looked like a completely different person. His threatening energy was so sharp and clear as if it was graspable.

When Ban Hwee Hyul lifted his head, not only myself but also the big man and woman flinched in surprise. The woman even looked daze.

That was because Ban Hwee Hyul’s face dazzled in the dark as soon as his thick glasses, which made his eyes look tiny, had been taken off by those guys. His facial features were as strong and chiseled as those of mixed-race people. Along with his big eyes, his overall appearance looked exotic and was in all splendor.

The woman blushed for a second but soon became short-tempered.

“Eek, so what? What are you gonna do? Do you really want to have a fight?”

Blurting out that way, she stepped on the residues of the broken glasses. Showing a satisfied smile at the noise under her feet, she threw a glance at Ban Hwee Hyul.

Amid the situation, I was calculating the price of the glasses. ‘How much should I pay Ban Hwee Hyul the damages? It’d be, at least, 50,000 won…’ I thought.

Honestly, I didn’t have that much expectation on the change in his look. I was, of course, astonished at him, but that was because he looked very handsome. However, although a person became angry, he or she wouldn’t suddenly develop some fighting abilities, which didn’t exist from the very beginning. That would never happen in real life. It was just his turbulent atmosphere and robust physique that terrified people.

Last time, he got beaten and harassed by some teenage bullies even with that mob boss-like look. Thus, instead of looking forward to the things that would happen afterward, I only worried about Ban Hwee Hyul’s actions just now.

“Is he also mad at me…?”

Well, since he was involved in this situation out of the blue while working part-time, Ban Hwee Hyul could indeed burn with wrath. Still, I told him to leave; it was him who said he would get attacked on behalf of me. Didn’t he also push me aside to move out from his sight? How could he speak with forked tongue?

The moment I grumbled to myself, the two big guys, who spent quite some time on guessing the distance between Ban Hwee Hyul and themselves, sprang at him without any warning, at last. Feeling that something catastrophic was about to happen, I closed my eyes tightly.

‘Ban Hwee Hyul, please just turn around and run away ASAP!’ That was when I repeated those prayers in my thoughts. Opening my eyes reflectively at some thudding noise, I became at a loss of words at the sight in front of me.

Those who flew over and got stuck heads on the trash bags were, not Ban Hwee Hyul, but the big man and woman. Not even glancing in my direction, Ban Hwee Hyul opened and clenched his fist in the air, which looked too huge and threatening, then asked them in a low voice.

“What are you doing? Stand up.”

“Ugh…” they moaned in pain.

“You guys told me to taste your fiery fists, didn’t you?”

My jaw dropped onto the ground while listening to Ban Hwee Hyul’s sarcastic remark. Then I murmured in vain, “Is that who you are…?”

Were you the type of person, who increased strength and combat skills, not the good looks, when taking off your glasses?

While I riveted to the spot like a streetlamp, Ban Hwee Hyul became unruly and threw punches without hindrance. The two people got beaten like crazy. So was my mind. I became baffled at the situation.

“How come… How can it be…?”

The glasses weren’t a good luck charm. Having taken it off, he should captivate or overwhelm people with noticeably better look, not with an increased strength and some fighting abilities. However, when Ban Hwee Hyul’s excellent performance in the PE class entered my head, my facial expression changed.

Now I had come to think of it, Ban Hwee Hyul with glasses on during the PE class showed moves as great as those of Yi Ruda. In other words, would Ban Hwee Hyul’s fighting power have no relation to his glasses actually? If that was true, why did he stay low until now and finally decide to use his outstanding force?

Thankfully, Ban Hwee Hyul was a type of fighter who didn’t attack first. Unlike what he said, Ban Hwee Hyul just quietly waited for the two people to fling themselves at him, then once they attempted to do that, he grabbed their arms or legs and threw them back to the trash bags.
