A Surgeon Who Uses Martial Arts [EN]: Chapter 298

Chapter 57: Opportunity (3)

There’s a saying, ‘Physiognomy is science.’

Jun-hoo agreed with exactly one-third of that statement.

Because the face was one of the vessels that contained a person’s emotions and thoughts.

A person who cries often will have a tearful face.

A person who gets angry often will have a sharp impression.

Of course, genetics or environmental issues cannot be left out here.

But with a one-third probability…

If that person’s actions or attitude are added, the probability of physiognomy increases dramatically.

Just like Kwon Hyuk, who is right in front of him now.

Kwon Hyuk’s eyes were torn sideways, making them look sharp.

His lips were thin without any blood, and one side of his left lip corner was slightly curled up.

It was the physiognomy of the petty people that Jun-hoo had faced countless times in the Murim [martial arts world].

And just a moment ago, he took a hidden camera without prior consent, didn’t he?

At this point, figuring out Kwon Hyuk’s personality was a piece of cake.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Kwon Hyuk played dumb with a straight face.

One of the characteristics of a petty person.

He was using the ‘I don’t know anything’ skill.

“I ran into some thugs on the way here, but their acting was very unnatural. Their physiques are also too good for ordinary people.”

“…….”

“Not only that, but you also hid someone who was filming here and there to capture us being made fools of.”

“…….”

“Is Kwon Hyuk-nim’s [term of respect] channel a place to humiliate and screw over guests?”

At Jun-hoo’s direct question, Kwon Hyuk scratched his cheek with his finger as if he was embarrassed.

In an instant, the temperature of the gym dropped by 3 degrees.

The people in the gym were busy looking at Jun-hoo’s reaction.

“Is there any room for excuses or pretexts? If so, try it.”

“Ha… that’s…”

“I can hear you thinking too well. Is it that difficult to say you’re sorry?”

Jun-hoo sternly rebuked Kwon Hyuk.

Two characteristics of a petty person.

He is using the ‘apologizing first means losing’ skill.

“Hey. Won-sung!”

Kwon Hyuk raised his voice without warning.

He glared fiercely at a man nearby.

“Yes. Director.”

“Did you tell the kids to secretly film Jun-hoo Teacher with a hidden camera?”

“Yes? Me?”

“Yes, you do video editing and content planning. How can you throw a tantrum to get a NewTube [Korean version of YouTube] angle? Huh?”

“…….”

“You should also consider the guests’ positions. At least get their consent for the hidden camera!”

Kwon Hyuk fiercely drove the man away, and the man couldn’t say a word in response.

He just lowered his head and froze.

‘This human is more vicious than he looks.’

Jun-hoo’s eyebrows shot up as he listened to the conversation.

Kwon Hyuk was shifting the blame for his mistake onto his junior.

It was an authoritarian and cowardly appearance at the same time.

In an instant, the urge to cancel today’s filming burst out, but…

Jun-hoo held back.

If he had come to the gym simply to get a NewTube angle, he would have turned back a long time ago.

But because Joo-won, who suffers from CRPS [Complex Regional Pain Syndrome], liked Kwon Hyuk.

He came all the way here to get Kwon Hyuk’s autograph and message of support.

He couldn’t go back empty-handed.

“You bastard, I have no face to see the teacher because of you. Apologize politely quickly.”

The man, urged by Kwon Hyuk, stood in front of Jun-hoo and bent over at a 90-degree angle.

“I’m sorry. Jun-hoo Teacher. I was rude because I only thought about the NewTube angle. I will make sure this never happens again.”

“Then let’s leave it at this.”

“Thank you for your generous understanding. I guess my juniors are lacking a lot in this area because they’re friends who use their bodies.”

Kwon Hyuk tapped his temple with his index finger.

There was no evidence that Kwon Hyuk had directly ordered the hidden camera, so Jun-hoo didn’t press him any further.

An awkward silence continued for dozens of seconds.

“Kwon Hyuk-nim. If it’s okay, could you give me an autograph?”

Jun-hoo brought up the topic first.

“No. I should be the one getting the autograph. Jun-hoo Teacher has 1 million NewTube subscribers and even a Gold Button.”

“One of my patients is a big fan of Kwon Hyuk-nim.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Kwon Hyuk’s face lit up.

Jun-hoo took out a file folder from the crossbody bag he was carrying.

He handed Kwon Hyuk the A4 paper and pen in the file folder.

“Could I also ask for an autograph and a message of support?”

“Of course. Of course.”

Kwon Hyuk actively stepped up as the opportunity to make up for his mistake came.

Thanks to this, Jun-hoo secured three autographs with Kwon Hyuk’s message of support.

He even secured a 1-minute video of Kwon Hyuk cheering on Joo-won.

In other words…

He sucked all the sweetness out of Kwon Hyuk.

‘Now, let’s have some real fun.’

Jun-hoo’s eerie gaze lingered on Kwon Hyuk, who was talking to his juniors.

* * *

The curtain rose on the full-scale collaboration shoot.

Jun-hoo and Kwon Hyuk stood with their backs against the gym wall, and the filming staff stood side by side opposite them.

Kwon Hyuk was the type to put a lot of effort into filming.

He used two stand cameras, and one person was separately recording video from various angles with a mobile phone.

The name of the content that Jun-hoo appeared in was Things People Who Don’t Know Anything About Fighting.

Abbreviated as Gyukalmot.

The concept was that people who have no connection to martial arts learn simple martial arts from Kwon Hyuk.

Self introduction.

Reason for appearing in the content.

Catching up, etc.

A series of processes passed like flowing water, and then the main content proceeded.

“Do you have any questions about mixed martial arts that you’ve always been curious about?”

Kwon Hyuk asked Jun-hoo.

“I heard that fighters avoid punches thrown by ordinary people, is that true?”

“Ha… of course. 100 out of 100 avoid them. That’s how they make a living as athletes.”

“Then can I try challenging you once?”

“Oh, you’re more than welcome. Those who watch the video should also take this opportunity to clearly see how big the class difference is between ordinary people and martial arts athletes.”

Kwon Hyuk’s voice was full of confidence.

He didn’t seem to know that he was digging his own grave.

Jun-hoo put on the boxing gloves that the staff handed him and faced Kwon Hyuk head-on.

“Come in confidently.”

Kwon Hyuk slightly lowered his waist and shook his head from side to side as if teasing him.

Thud!

Jun-hoo’s left jab stretched out like a bullet.

Since he was also well-versed in Gwonbeop [Korean martial art], Jun-hoo’s jab was unusual. In the blink of an eye, it struck Kwon Hyuk’s face.

“Ouch.”

Kwon Hyuk staggered after being hit directly by the jab.

If Jun-hoo hadn’t controlled his strength, Kwon Hyuk would have lost consciousness seeing stars with just this one jab.

But Jun-hoo wasn’t going to let go of such an interesting toy so easily.

He still had a long way to go to repay the hidden camera rudeness.

“Teacher. Your punch is surprisingly spicy?”

Kwon Hyuk said in admiration.

“I feel good being recognized by a fighter. But how come you couldn’t avoid my punch? You said you could avoid 100 out of 100 earlier.”

“Hahaha. I was too careless. And I didn’t know you were left-handed.”

“Shall we try again?”

“Come on.”

Jun-hoo deliberately swung his fist slowly.

He deliberately exposed the movement of his left shoulder to Kwon Hyuk.

Like a fighter, Kwon Hyuk read the movements of Jun-hoo’s shoulder and arm and moved his face and upper body to the right.

It was a pretty good evasive maneuver at the fighter level.

However, the problem was that Jun-hoo was a Murim person several levels above the fighter.

Snake Fist.

Jun-hoo’s fist, which had been stretching out in a straight line, followed Kwon Hyuk’s face in a curve.

As if a snake was tracking its prey.

Snake Fist was a Gwonbeop that shaped the movements of a snake and was one of the Five Shaolin Fists.

It was a follow-up to the technique of the Shaolin Temple Arhat, who had competed in martial arts in the past.

Thwack!

Jun-hoo’s fist struck Kwon Hyuk’s left cheek. Kwon Hyuk’s head turned to the side.

Even though Jun-hoo had sufficiently controlled his strength, Kwon Hyuk staggered and couldn’t maintain his balance for a while.

“…….”

“…….”

The atmosphere in the gym suddenly turned cold.

The mouths of the gym members watching the video were wide open as if they had made a promise.

Something impossible had happened.

Who is Kwon Hyuk?

Although he has now retired, he was a monster who achieved 5th place in the world in the middleweight division for the first time as a Korean in his prime.

When Kwon Hyuk was active, his nickname was Black Mamba.

It was a nickname he got because he pushed his opponents like a venomous snake.

But such Kwon Hyuk allows an ordinary person to punch him twice?

This was truly absurd.

“Ha… X-bal [Korean curse word], I’m so pissed off.”

Kwon Hyuk muttered to himself in a voice as small as a mosquito.

He felt unbearable shame and annoyance at allowing a doctor to punch him.

What would his juniors and viewers think of him if this happened?

Kwon Hyuk barely suppressed his rising anger.

Instead, he forced a smile and continued.

“Everyone. Was that fun enough? What fun would it be if I avoided all of Jun-hoo Teacher’s punches.”

“…….”

“Let’s stop playing around and get serious.”

Kwon Hyuk, who made a comment to the camera, turned his body back to Jun-hoo.

“Jun-hoo Teacher.”

“Yes.”

“Try swinging your fist just five more times. I’ll avoid them all in a cool way.”

“Well, I thought something was strange. There’s no way Kwon Hyuk-nim would get hit by my punches, since I’m just an ordinary person.”

“Don’t be disappointed if you can’t hit me.”

“That’s a given. What.”

Jun-hoo snorted and took a stance.

It was time to wrap up this sparring session.

He would use this opportunity to show the rude Kwon Hyuk what real humiliation was.

Left jab.

Right hook.

Left uppercut.

Right body blow.

Left straight punch.

Jun-hoo’s fists bombarded Kwon Hyuk relentlessly.

The martial art that Jun-hoo unfolded this time was Dragon-Tiger Rampage. It was a martial art that shaped the appearance of dragons and tigers fighting in a tangled mess.

Dragon-Tiger Rampage was a flurry-type martial art, and once you got hit by the first blow, you couldn’t avoid the punches that followed.

Once you get bitten by a dragon, you can’t escape.

Like you can’t come to your senses if you get hit in the front paw by a tiger.

Pow!

Since Jun-hoo’s first jab hit Kwon Hyuk’s face head-on.

Kwon Hyuk was helpless and couldn’t allow the remaining consecutive attacks either.

Every time he was hit by Jun-hoo, Kwon Hyuk’s head turned, his waist swayed, and his legs trembled.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Kwon Hyuk’s condition, who had been hit by all five of Jun-hoo’s punches, was already in tatters.

His pupils were faintly unfocused.

The gym members were once again shocked by this.

“Hey. Did you see the punches that doctor threw just now? I couldn’t see them?”

“I… I didn’t see them either. Was he crazy? Is he really a doctor? Didn’t he learn boxing professionally?”

The members began to doubt Jun-hoo’s identity.

That’s how amazing Jun-hoo’s performance was.

Even though Kwon Hyuk went into serious mode, he still managed to land a total of 5 punches on Kwon Hyuk like a bee.

“Hey. You idiots. Don’t you still know Kwon Hyuk senior?”

A nosy member with an arrow nose jumped into the conversation.

“Kwon Hyuk senior deliberately got hit this time too. It’s obvious just by looking at him.”

“Deliberately got hit? Senior looked pretty pissed off?”

“Senior has become an entertainer now. He knows that getting hit by a doctor is actually a NewTube angle.”

“Once is okay, but not twice? Have you forgotten why Senior’s nickname is Black Mamba?”

“That’s why it makes even less sense. That Black Mamba is getting hit by ordinary people’s punches.”

The arrow-nosed member retorted again.

While the members’ opinions were divided, the camera was still rolling.

Kwon Hyuk, who barely managed to keep his mind, was trembling with fear inside.

It was an absurd situation, but he had no choice but to admit it.

The painful truth that Jun-hoo’s punches couldn’t be seen as just lucky punches.

Kwon Hyuk sincerely tried to avoid Jun-hoo’s punches, but he really got hit by all of them.

How embarrassing.

‘Is this bastard really a doctor? I don’t think so?’

The expression on Jun-hoo’s face, who was facing him, was still relaxed.

It was as if he was just looking at him as prey.

Kwon Hyuk, who had been confident even when facing the world’s number one, was surprisingly feeling fear towards Jun-hoo, who was an ordinary person.

Anyway, the first priority was to fix the situation.

“Okay, everyone, there was a bit of a commotion.”
