Jin Yeon-seo, the protagonist of
The countless people that 'Adam Lowell', who took care of her at the research institute, had spoken of.
Nature.
Cities.
So many such things.
Amidst all that, Jin Yeon-seo learns about living with people—things she couldn't learn at the research institute—through her parents.
Jin Yeon-seo is not particularly a psychopath or someone with emotional problems.
She merely lived as a blank slate, so she is just as innocent as a child.
However, because she is pure, her actions are more instinctive, and can sometimes become cruel.
"I don't know what kind of life Yeon-seo lived before."
Yeon-seo's adoptive father, Park Hoon-min, said so while stroking her head.
Toward the girl who was puzzled by the gesture.
"But I know you're a very special child."
As they lived with her, they had several opportunities to witness Yeon-seo's special traits.
Yeon-seo, who didn't know what a crosswalk was and got hit by a car.
The sight of her getting up perfectly fine when everyone gathered in shock was still vivid in their eyes.
Not only that, her bizarre physical abilities and extraordinary intellect also had many strange aspects in various ways.
It was strange, but Park Hoon-min didn't pry into it.
"But you don't need to become special. Just live doing what you want to do."
Going to school normally.
Hoping she would live like a girl her age.
"Because we will help someone like you, Yeon-seo."
Along with Park Hoon-min's calm words, Jin Yeon-seo's new life began.
No, her life renamed as 'Park Yeon-seo'.
She goes to school, and attends an academy with a friend.
Sighing over her studies like a normal student, while studying like that, Yeon-seo meets a girl at the academy.
"Hi? I'm Shin Ah-rin. I lived in Japan for a long time, and came to Korea."
Shin Ah-rin.
A girl who uses such a name.
She quickly becomes close with Yeon-seo at the academy.
'And.'
Recalling the series of stories, Seo Yeon looked at the man in front of her.
A man wearing a bike suit and a bike helmet, holding an expandable baton in his hand, was right in front of her.
Holding a baton in his hand indirectly indicated that his goal was 'subjugation' rather than 'murder'.
'Actually, an expandable baton is a dangerous weapon too.'
Even if it looks light, getting hit means a fracture at minimum.
But even weapons have an image, and it's true that compared to something with a blade, it looks relatively safe.
'Oliver.'
His height is similar to Arthur's.
Well, he was a stunt double.
The best stunt double Arthur chose in Hollywood.
I felt it from before, but his overall body balance is excellent.
I had practiced with Arthur before, but the atmosphere was subtly different from then.
Part of it was that acting was mixed in.
An actor who does stunts.
Or rather, the difference between a stuntman who acts.
Similar, but a subtly different feel.
With Oliver in front of her like that, Seo Yeon made a gesture to the girl who had fallen on her behind to step back.
"Ah-rin, can you stay behind for a bit? It'll be over soon?"
"Wh-what do you mean? L-let's run away quickly!"
"Running away won't shake him off."
Yeon-seo said so, narrowing her eyes toward the opponent.
And, tilts her head slightly.
Because the assailant facing her felt somewhat familiar.
"Have we met before?"
"……."
At Seo Yeon's words, the assailant didn't open his mouth.
He merely slowly stepped forward with his left foot, taking a stance as if he would charge in at any moment.
And.
Power went into his right foot, and at the same time, his right arm holding the baton swung like a whip.
Swish!!
The sound of cutting through the air.
Shin Ah-rin—no, Narumi Sora, who was watching from behind, widened her eyes.
'Fast!'
It was fast.
The trajectory and movement were identical to what she had practiced with Arthur.
But the beat was one beat faster.
What Oliver held in his hand now was a filming prop made of sponge, so getting hit wouldn't matter.
But if he attacked without hesitation, the opponent would have no choice but to panic.
Especially if it was faster than during practice.
Sora moved her eyes following Oliver's hand holding the sponge prop.
The moment she thought in her head how she would dodge it if it were her.
Similarly, one beat faster than during practice, Seo Yeon moved.
Instead of dodging backward against the baton swung like a whip, she rather stepped forward and dove into the opponent's embrace.
Aiming not for the baton but for the opponent's right wrist, she raised her left hand to strike it down, and then targeted the opponent's face with her right fist, but the assailant blocked it with his left hand and kicked her with his left foot.
Yeon-seo, who used the left arm that had struck the baton away to block that kick, took a couple of steps back and
"Who are you?"
Looked at the assailant as if finding it amusing.
The exchange that passed in an instant.
It was clearly one beat faster than during practice, yet it was perfect without any NGs.
Han Ye-geon, who saw that, almost let out an admiration without realizing.
Needless to say, the faster the action, the more flashy it becomes.
Even truly ordinary movements make one unconsciously admire them when seeing the fast handiwork.
Since even Han Ye-geon, who planned this scene, was like this, the staff's admiration could only be greater.
'It felt like something whizzed right past?'
'Did he really swing that for real?'
'No matter how well they matched the choreography, to do it all at once like that...'
It was true that Seo Yeon had shown extraordinary physical abilities so far, but that and action acting were separate things.
During
I was a little worried if she could do well even when properly matching the choreography.
But it seemed such worries were needless.
The two were facing each other without their breathing falling out of sync at all.
Because the act wasn't over yet.
"You don't seem like a normal person."
She looks at the opponent who, shaking both hands, walks clockwise around her.
As if observing Yeon-seo's movements.
"And you seem to know about me, too."
Yeon-seo's mouth was smiling, but her eyes were not.
It was as if her anger was spreading like red dye.
Her gradually reddening pupils represented her emotions.
Somehow, it seemed there would be a lot to ask.
Although Yeon-seo didn't open her mouth and spit out that line, it was revealed that she had no intention of letting the opponent go safely.
Soon, Yeon-seo's upper body slowly tilted forward.
The moment the strength in her legs focused on her left foot, her right foot kicked off the ground.
Unlike the assailant who charged like a trained soldier, Yeon-seo was like a beast.
Rough, but fast.
Blink once, and she was instantly in front of the assailant.
The staff widened their eyes at her appearance.
'Fast!'
This too was faster than with Arthur.
As if she thought the opponent would react to this level.
Yeon-seo's right hand reached out.
Not a clenched fist, but an open bare hand.
This was not to strike the opponent, but to grab them.
The opponent calmly stepped back and swung the baton left and right to strike it away.
From that impact, Yeon-seo's wrist broke, but.
'This much regenerates in an instant.'
Yeon-seo's regenerative ability is at a horrifying level.
And the toughness of her body also far exceeds that of a normal human.
In the first place, if a normal person swung a baton, her arm wouldn't have broken.
In other words, it meant the opponent was also a superpower.
A physical enhancement type superpower.
Yeon-seo's eyes widened, and a faint smile hung on her lips.
Reddening pupils.
Even though her arm was broken, Yeon-seo's balance was still pitched forward.
Her legs charged toward the front.
YW9peUx5cktZYXhyU2hzY1VsMkQ0VHV4MDNKcGpVKy8reUp1Z0NKeklLSHVVdFFiYkpwQno2cUZXNWdqdTR2Zg
Like a cannonball.
As she rammed right into the assailant's torso, his feet lifted off the ground and he tumbled backward.
Then he immediately sprang up as if bouncing.
Thanks to throwing his body backward right before the torso made contact, reducing the impact.
It was a stuntman's basic ability, but at this moment, it looked like an action to avoid Yeon-seo's attack.
"How fast can you move?"
However, even though he got up right away, the opponent was already right in front of his nose.
He swung the baton to strike away the hand that reached out as if to grab the back of his neck.
"Got it."
With a bright smile, Yeon-seo's left hand grabbed it.
But that was also a calculation.
When he pressed the button on the baton, blue electricity poured out and electrocuted Yeon-seo's body.
She has regenerative abilities, but her essence is human.
If electrocuted by lightning, she wouldn't be able to move her body properly.
"!!"
The moment the electricity touched her body, Yeon-seo flinched greatly and swung her arm widely to the left, throwing the baton away.
And in an instant, the assailant's knee kicked up toward the defenseless Yeon-seo's chin.
She slipped her right arm in between and blocked it.
As her knee touched the ground, the assailant's extending right fist was similarly struck away by Yeon-seo's right palm.
Then both of their hands collided in the air a couple of times, and the distance slightly opened up again.
The assailant's upper body rotated greatly, and his right foot swung like a windmill.
The kind commonly called a roundhouse kick in Taekwondo.
A high kick commonly seen in mixed martial arts was swung toward Yeon-seo's temple, but
"That was a mistake, you know?"
Right before it reached her temple, she snatched that ankle with her right hand.
Holding the ankle, she lifted him into the air and slammed him down into the ground.
Thud!!
The soft floor mat heaved greatly.
From the staff's mouths, as if letting out a breath, gasps of astonishment flowed out.
Seo Yeon's hand holding the ankle moved again.
The moment the assailant, slammed into the floor, reached his right hand toward his waist.
"Cut, cut!! That's enough!"
Han Ye-geon shouted urgently and ran toward them.
"Yes?"
Ah, does the scene end here?
Seo Yeon recalled for a moment, but she was sure she had to lift and slam him into the ground a couple more times here.
"You can't normally do that kind of thing."
"……."
At Han Ye-geon's serious words, Seo Yeon lost her words.
That is true, you can't normally do it.
"I was thinking of using wires or CG here. I didn't know you'd actually lift and slam him."
"Ah, is that so. I got too immersed in the acting for a moment."
At Seo Yeon's words, the staff was a bit bewildered.
So monstrous strength comes out when you immerse yourself in acting.
Actors are amazing, roughly such thoughts.
"Um, well, the scene was good. The action tempo was faster than expected, so it filmed much more flashily."
It was panicking when Seo Yeon suddenly swung while grabbing Oliver's ankle, but apart from that, the scene itself was surprisingly clean.
The series of actions seemed conscious of the camera, the movements themselves were large, and the speed was fast, making it entertaining to watch.
'The more I see, the more surprised I am.'
Han Ye-geon nodded as he looked at Seo Yeon, who was looking at him with a strangely tense face.
Oliver is a recognized stunt actor in Hollywood so he could do that, but he didn't know Seo Yeon could act this cleanly either.
Honestly, during
In the first place, they didn't even match the choreography properly, and the preparation time was short.
But now, it was very polished.
To the point where it's embarrassing to compare her to Seo Yeon from back then.
'So I'm more worried.'
Han Ye-geon glanced at Sora, who had watched the series of actions.
In Arthur's case, Oliver could just do the stunt double work, but Narumi Sora had to handle all the action herself.
Because, well, there was no female stunt actor who could do as well as Narumi Sora.
"Are you okay?"
While Director Han Ye-geon was having such thoughts.
Seo Yeon approached Oliver, who was still lying on the mat.
Because she was a little scared seeing him still not getting up.
'I immersed myself too much.'
Perhaps because the role was the role, it seemed she had momentarily become serious.
Even though she had no intention of doing something like method acting, she said she naturally immersed herself.
Apart from Yeon-seo's emotional line, acting utilizing Seo Yeon's own physical abilities was her first time.
"...Haha, I'm fine."
"Yes?"
"Ah, did you say you don't know English? Arthur?"
"Ah, right. He says he's fine."
"Is that so? That's a relief. I put too much strength into it without realizing."
Seo Yeon bowed her head as if embarrassed.
At her appearance, Arthur momentarily pondered how to respond.
Is this what a normal actress says?
It sounds like something a male actor would say.
"It's fine. He's a sturdy guy."
"That's a relief. And honestly, I was surprised. I didn't know it would be to that extent."
Seo Yeon briefly showed a look of anticipation toward Oliver.
The action acting just now was, to be honest, fun.
'I want to do it again.'
It was the taste she briefly felt during Narumi Sora's time.
Of course, Narumi Sora was also lacking compared to Oliver.
Oliver was a person who knew what real action acting was.
What was especially surprising was the action he took when Seo Yeon charged in.
That was in the script, and Seo Yeon acted more exaggeratedly, but Oliver clearly reacted properly.
"I'll look forward to your next act."
Rarely, Seo Yeon said so and trotted away to Narumi Sora.
To ask how the acting was just now.
And, looking at Seo Yeon's back, Oliver slowly took off his bike helmet.
"Arthur."
"Yeah."
"I thought I got hit by a car."
"……."
"Haha, no need to make that face. It was fun, still."
Oliver was sincere.
It was the first time he felt this much thrill since skydiving.
"If by any chance you still want to try competing in action with Seo Yeon, I could switch with you."
"I decline. I want to live as an actor for a long time."
"Heh, I see. Ah, my whole body aches, but it's a relief she adjusted her strength. Honestly, I was worried."
"Strength adjustment? That?"
Answering like that, Arthur recalled the sight of Seo Yeon lifting Oliver just by grabbing his ankle earlier.
It certainly seemed like she adjusted her strength when they were fighting.
'I understand why they said it feels like becoming a hero charging at a monster.'
Arthur nodded as he looked at Oliver.
And.
'Did she choose the wrong profession?'
Arthur couldn't help but think that quite seriously.
