Chapter 8 - Slugger/I Wan't To Help You Too!

Like I said, you should just stay out of our business but you didn't listen. I even went out of the way to not tell The Boss and the other ranks about you. Rae-gi was confused, did you just say the boss? Beok-sing smirked and said he learned a bit more info about Ecstasy when he ranked up to Poker Face. It turns out Ecstasy is just a name the lower ranks call him. Anyone higher than that call him, The Manipulator of Emotions. It may surprise you but he is here for his own personal benefit, so the lower ranks get exploited most of the time. The upper ranks are either scared to betray him, or are loyal to him. Ever since I ranked up, a lot of information was given to me. I'm not sure how much of this is true but I heard that ever since he began reading a certain comic, he decided to unite the 5 gangs of Seoul. He wants to create one big gang to rule over everyone.

You might be asking the reason why i'm telling you all of this, its because this is the last order that I will take from him. I only did this for the money. I will retreat from this gang after I defeat you, i'm not sure how the boss will react after I leave but I shall at least finish my job before I leave.

"*DING* Main Quest Changed: Create a group and unite the 5 gangs, Defeat and Recruit Beok-Sing." I understand your reason Beok-sing but I really have to defeat you too. My past hasn't been too bright. I was abused by my mother and my father was the only one there for me but deep down I know that my mother still cares for me. This is my only goal Beok-sing!

Enough of your sob stories, you think you understand what I have gone through? All that I can remember from when I was young was when they pulled me out of a gutter. The only people that raised me were a gang, even though they were inferior to La Mascara right now, they cared about people and wont kill people that easily. But everything changed, when a gang even stronger than La Mascara attacked my so-called family. This is my reason why I joined La Mascara. Even I can't wait to get out of this.

Rae-gi didn't expect that Beok-sing even had the ability to say something like this, Rae-gi knew that Beok-sing wasn't lying. Rae-gi asked Beok-sing, what exactly is this gang called? Beok-sing replied to Rae-gi, you don't have the power to defeat them yet so don't rush everything. W-wait why am I jumping to conclusions, you never said you would help me.. n-nevermind that. It is said that their lowest class is as strong as high ranking people in La Mascara. I almost forgot, I shall educate you on the Hierarchy of La Mascara.

1. Sorrowfuls (Sad Faces): This rank represents the lowest level of the hierarchy, indicating members who are relatively new or have not yet proven themselves within the gang.

2. Poker Faces (Neutral/Blank Faces): This rank represents the middle class within the gang. Members at this level may have gained some experience and are seen as reliable but still lack the influence and power of higher-ranking members.

3. Furious Flames (Angry Faces): This rank represents the next level of the hierarchy. Members with furious faces have demonstrated aggression, determination, and a propensity for violence. They are known for their fierce temper and readiness to engage in confrontations.

4. Wicked Grins (Sinister Smiles): This rank signifies members who are cunning, deceptive, and strategic. They excel in manipulation, infiltration, and scheming. Wicked grins represent their calculated and crafty nature, often involved in orchestrating intricate plans and covert operations.

5. Serene Masks (Calm and Peaceful Faces): This rank represents individuals who have attained a level of wisdom, discipline, and control. They are the masters of composure, able to maintain a tranquil demeanor even in the most chaotic situations. Serene Masks are known for their ability to think clearly and make wise decisions.

6. Exalted Visages (Radiant and Joyful Faces): This rank signifies members who have achieved a legendary status within the gang. They are charismatic leaders who inspire loyalty and are revered by lower-ranked members. Exalted Visages possess a sense of joy and exuberance, often associated with their remarkable skills and accomplishments.

Now that you know what you have to go through I think you should prepare a bit more. Take this fight with me as an opportunity to get stronger, the reason why I am doing this is I respect you as a boxer, so please don't use aikido and fight me respectfully using Boxing. Rae-gi thankful of what Beok-sing has done for him agrees.

Beok-sing shakes hands with Rae-gi and warns Rae-gi about traps that will be set when he presses a button on his remote control. The gratefulness of the handshake temporarily increased his stats. The question marks from the aikido menu and boxing menu turned into class. "Would you like to choose a class for one of these fighting styles? Mastery will be halfed but power will increase and you will be able to unlock a special version of these styles, you may only choose one." Rae-gi keeps his word and chooses boxing. "Please Choose Between The Three:Swarmer, Slugger, Boxer-Puncher." Rae-gi remembers his past fights with Beok-sing, he thinks that Beok-sing is too fast so he thinks that the slugger is the best option.

"Successfully Chose Slugger" The fight begins with Beok-sings precise attacks. Each attack gets blocked by Rae-gi as he gets more pressured by Beok-sing. Rae-gi's arms which are aching are beginning to give up. Rae-gi needs to weave and initiate a counter attack. He weaves until he finds an opening. Then Rae-gi threw a jab out of nowhere catching Beok-sing off guard. Beok-sing was surprised. His jab was slow but it hurt so much. Rae-gi tries to throw a barrage of jabs but it was no use. Beok-sing was just blocking them all. Beok-sing noticed the stance that Rae-gi was taking. Shift all your body weight and throw a straight! Beok-sing blocks before Rae-gi could hit him but to his surprise, his block was broken by the straight.

Beok-sing was knocked down by Rae-gi. To Rae-gi's surprise he didn't run into any traps. As Rae-gi is about to help Beok-sing get up, Beok-sing yells. "STOP!" There is a landmine there!. Beok-sing turns off the landmine. Y-you could've ended me, why didn't you do it, said Beok-sing. Rae-gi replies with a smile and says, "Its because I Wan't To Help You Too!". Beok-sing didn't have anything to say, he was happy for what Rae-gi has done for him. Rae-gi asks him, "Say, why don't you join me and unite the 5 gangs? Then we can create a gang to protect all of Seoul." Beok-sing nods and smiles as confirmation.
