YourTube?
Feeling somewhat ominous, I opened YourTube first.
And as Lee Yugyeom instructed, I searched for ‘Taekwondo Girl’.
Then—
The Taekwondo Girl who subdued the C-rank Hunter who hijacked Bus 316 with a single kick!
The true identity of the Taekwondo Girl, an F-rank Hunter?
What happens when a promising athlete from the Olympic Training Center becomes a Hunter Investigation Bureau Investigator
Why are there… so many videos?
Seeing how the thumbnails are all similar, it seems there’s a specific original video, and everyone just started copying and pasting it.
And that specific original video is probably—
Exclusive Leak: CCTV footage from inside the No. 316 bus
A single long-form video.
A whopping 20 minutes long.
Since it seems to be an account that mainly posts videos of citizen heroes or subduing highway villains, it’s obvious how this person got a hold of this CCTV footage.
‘Choi Woojin… this b*stard.’
And the view count is a whopping…
‘6 Million views…?’
Is this for real…?
Glancing at the comments, there were even a few comments in English.
As I was watching the video with a stiff face, Kwon Ikseong asked.
“What is the matter?”
“Uh… well…”
I let out a sigh and showed my phone screen to Kwon Ikseong.
“I think you need to see this right now.”
* * *
The video begins helpfully from the moment Seo Gilsoo hijacks the bus.
Perhaps because it’s the original style of this account, there were subtitles all over the video.
[A volatile situation where the culprit shoots the driver and threatens the passengers.]
At that moment, the camera zooms in, showing my face.
There I am, looking completely blank-faced, mindlessly chewing on a piece of bubble gum.
[A single passenger who remains perfectly composed in this crisis?]
Relaxed, my foot.
I was seriously terrified back then!
Meanwhile, the moment an E-rank Hunter among the passengers steps up to subdue the culprit! An unidentified pink powder scatters in the air! While everyone loses consciousness—
In the video, I could be seen stealthily hiding under the seat.
Did I really move like that?
Anyway, I did tell my ‘original body’ to stay hidden.
Then, she could be seen secretly moving among the people.
Meanwhile, the real ‘me’… I mean, Seo Gilsoo, is excitedly driving.
‘I even danced like that…’
I squeezed my eyes shut as I watched Seo Gilsoo holding the steering wheel and doing body waves.
However, Kwon Ikseong, who was watching this scene next to me on a tablet, remained completely still.
I pulled up the comment section on my phone to avoid looking at my own pathetic state as much as possible.
Comments
-Is it even possible to move like that after inhaling Funny Powder? National athlete mentality is no joke.
└I don’t think that’s a mentality issue.
└I heard the thing on her face is an item in the first place?
└You’re saying that because you don’t know. When national athletes awaken as Hunters, there are definitely parts where their stats differ from regular Hunters. It’s different from what machines can determine.
└No, that’s not it. I’m telling you that bubblegum is an item? You can see it if you go to the <Review-Love You> channel lol.
<Review-Love You> channel?
What’s that?
While I was wondering.
The ‘Seo Gilsoo’ in the video crashed into the guardrail once, then suddenly looked up into the air and muttered something.
“Master…”
Then, Kwon Ikseong quietly muttered next to me.
“…?”
Did he just read my lips?
Kwon Ikseong even wrote down what Seo Gilsoo was saying in his notebook.
Please raise me well. Beef for my food. And you have to pet me twice a day.
…Damn it.
Masochistic tendencies.
Looking at the word Kwon Ikseong wrote in his notebook, I tightly clenched my fists under the desk.
‘Ikseong thinks I’m a pervert…’
I really wanted to hide somewhere.
It was while I was thinking that.
A faint smile appeared on ‘Seo Gilsoo’s’ face.
Seon-ah.
Ikseong’s expression became subtle.
Seonie.
Right. I was looking at Seonie back then.
It was then.
‘Seo Gilsoo’, after crashing into the guardrail once, swore, secured the steering wheel, and stood up.
At that moment, ‘Lee Yuji’, who had been hiding among the people and slowly crawling forward, stood up.
And extending her right foot forward, she rotated her upper body using that right foot as an axis.
At the same time, in a car moving at 100 km/h, ‘Lee Yuji’s’ body rose into the air and spun around.
A follow-up spinning back kick.
Comments
-9:31 Tlqkf, a spinning back kick in a moving bus, is she crazy? Legendary.
-Why isn’t there an Olympics for Awakenersㅠㅠㅠ
-Is that even possible? Someone call a physics major.
└I have a master’s in physics. I have no idea how she managed to spin 540 degrees using her thigh as an axis and kick inside a bus moving at 100 km/h, considering the bus’s speed and the law of inertia. How did she do it?
How did I do it… I don’t know either.
My body just remembered and did it!
‘It’s been too long since I did it.’
As soon as she struck ‘Seo Gilsoo’s’ face and regained her balance, ‘Lee Yuji’ aimed a front kick right at ‘Seo Gilsoo’s’ crotch.
Comments
-Ugh…! Even an A-rank Hunter would die from that.
-If you’re a man, Hunter or not, it’s game over in that moment.
“Ugh…”
As I frowned, recalling the pain from that time, Kwon Ikseong looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, uh… well… I just thought… it looked like it would hurt.”
I roughly glossed over it.
Regardless, the video continued.
In the video, ‘Lee Yuji’ beat ‘Seo Gilsoo’ to a pulp, then handcuffed him and removed the bomb from his vest.
[According to the informant, the investigator in the video was not an Appraiser, so dismantling the bomb was impossible. Other investigators nearby advised her to abandon the bus and escape alone, but she refused and attempted to dismantle it herself.]
And below that, these subtitles appeared.
“The informant must be Gamer.”
Kwon Ikseong spoke calmly as he saw it.
He probably expected it from the beginning.
That the Gamer would be the one to leak this video.
Even if Kwon Ikseong couldn’t guess what Gamer’s ‘game’ was aiming for right at this moment.
“Team Leader Kwon!”
Just then, someone from Team 1 opened the interrogation room door and walked in.
The name on his name tag was ‘Yeo Hyeongse’.
“Is the Chief looking for us?”
Kwon Ikseong asked as if he had expected it.
And soon, as if answering Kwon Ikseong’s question, someone walked out from behind Yeo Hyeongse.
“Oh my, Investigator Lee Yuji! Why is our precious youngest of Team 5 in such a shabby place…”
It was Chief Hong Jaegyeol.
He smiled brightly and reached out his hand towards me.
“Does our Investigator Lee Yuji prefer coffee or tea? Any snacks? What can I get you?”
He naturally pulled me up and dragged me to his office.
* * *
To get straight to the point, there were two other videos that amplified the impact of the CCTV footage.
One of them was the <Review-Love You> channel mentioned in the comments of the video I saw.
The owner of that channel, which boasted 3 million subscribers, had revealed himself a few hours ago as a survivor of the Bus 316 incident and pointed me out as the investigator who saved him.
[I don’t have clear memories after inhaling the Funny Powder either, but I knew she was the one who saved me after watching the CCTV video.]
Looking at his face, he looked familiar.
‘That guy was a YourTuber?’
He was the E-rank Hunter who had stepped forward to subdue Seo Gilsoo.
The guy who said he was a fan of the Melodians!
Wearing a cast as if his ribs were broken from my back kick, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to me.
[I express my respect to that investigator who is my lifesaver. I know public opinion about the Hunter Investigation Bureau isn’t good these days, but I thought I couldn’t just stand by and watch the investigators who risked their lives to save us get criticized.]
“Isn’t this the power of SNS! The eyes of the citizens! Isn’t this the spirit of the times these days? Hmm?”
And thanks to that, public opinion was slowly turning around—
“This is a newly released, really expensive yakgwa, have a taste.”
A fancy spread of refreshments was laid out before my eyes.
How should I say… It feels a bit…
‘Rewarding?’
Hiding my smile, I popped a sweet yakgwa into my mouth.
