Chereads / Rise of the Failed Idol / Chapter 6 - New Path

Chapter 6 - New Path

What happened today was not normal, first thing I should point out that i have never done the martial arts in my life.

Aside from working and going to gym, I did nothing.

So how could I easily throw a man twice of of Wight of mine easily on the ground?

It's was simply impossible but of course this was possible if i somehow copid theove of hero that I was watching on hospital lobby without me knowing.

If my guess is right, then maybe I have gained an ability.

That's why I came here to check my theory.

With that thought I raised one of my legs in air, my hands behind my shoulder as I took SouthPov pitching pose.

-VROOOOM!!

I was about to throw the ball but at the last moment my phone vibrate and i couldn't throw the ball at all.

With small sigh I took out my phone from my pant pocket.

The moment I saw the number I was shocked, It was his first time contacting me in 3 years.

'Why did he suddenly calling me?'

-CLICK!

With that thought I pressed the calling button.

"Hello?"

-Oh, finally picked up huh?

I pursed my lips in supprise as I heard the femliar voice.

"What do you mean by that, Bro?"

-Hey, you still call me a brother. I guessed you haven't forgotten my name.

"How could I forget your name? Of course I remember."

-As expected, Look's like not everyone in world is forgotten about my existence, Hehehe."

The man on other said as he crack some jokes.

"Since you're laughing that's means you are all fit and fine now."

The person that I'm talking to right now is Raju Shah.

He was the assistant manager of MJ company back where I used to Idol trainee.

"Are you feeling better, bro? I heard that not long after I left, you quit due spiral back pain."

There was paused for moment,

-How did you know?

There was hint of suprised in his voice.

"I heard from Lucas."

Lucas was also the Idol trainee who was TNTN group that made debut after i resigned there.

We kept touch for while but after sometime we lost touch.

I don't know how through? I did send him messages but he didn't replied to any of them.

Anyway, that's all in past.

"Are you feeling better now?"

-I'm fine. In fact I'm better then before after I got treated and i also started to woling again.

"MJ let you enter?"

-I tried to go back, but they said my post had already been filled. All big companies are like that.

"That company is a bit like that."

We briefly strengthened our friendship after seeing the bad news about the company.

"Anyway, what's going on?"

-Do we need to have business to contact each other?

"huh."

-…

"I know you contacted me because you had some business to do with me. Tell me I don't think anything bad."

-Sigh... You are right, There is one thing I would like to talk about.

"Can't we do it over the phone?"

-You too. In this industry, isn't it customary to talk face to face? Do you have plans today?

"No, there is not."

-Then come out, man. Let's meet again and see each other after a long time. I'll buy you food.

Gulp...

Come to think of it, I couldn't even eat dinner because I was getting hit here and there.

Since the opportunity itself came to me, I should not waste it.

I cleared my throat and said.

"I want eat something, I won't go anywhere unless it's expensive eating place."

-Is that so? Well you are in luck. I have company credit card on me, You can eat anything you want.

As I listened to Raju's offer, I couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and gratitude. It had been years since we last saw each other, and now he was reaching out to me with a generous invitation. Despite the circumstances, I couldn't deny that I was curious about what he wanted to discuss.

"Alright, sounds good. Where should we meet?" I replied, trying to sound casual despite the whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind.

-How about that Italian place we used to go to near the station? It's not too fancy, but the food is decent

Raju suggested.

"That works for me. I'll meet you there in about half an hour," I confirmed.

With that settled, I ended the phone call and got up.

While shaking the sand off my butt with one hand, I searched Y Tube with the other.

[AMJ top plays]

The best games played by American Major League Baseball players were edited into clip videos.

When I click on the video, the games are played with AJM.

I held my breath and focused on the video, I lost the senses of time as I continue to watch the video

How long has it been? How much times had passed

I stopped watching the video when the advertisement played at the end of the video.

Strange feeling...

While watching the video, I felt like my sensory organs were being stimulated in a way that cannot be expressed in words.

If I had to express it… .

Should I say it is the sixth sense that goes beyond the five senses?

The experiment I doing now was to test that.

After watching the rough gameplay video, I put my smartphone in shooting mode and placed it on the stand.

I took a few steps back, positioning myself in front of the makeshift camera setup. My heart was pounding with anticipation as I prepared to replicate the move I had unconsciously performed earlier.

With a deep breath, I focused my mind, trying to tap into whatever newfound ability I may have acquired. I recalled the sensation of effortlessly throwing the man to the ground, channeling that memory into my muscles.

In one fluid motion, I raised one leg into the air, my hands poised behind my shoulder in the SouthPov pitching pose. My body moved instinctively, guided by a force beyond my comprehension.

-VOOOOM!!

I executed the throw, my movements mirroring those I had observed in the martial arts video. To my amazement, the ball soared through the air with surprising speed and accuracy, landing exactly where I had intended.

Without missing the moment I picked up the ball again and throw just like before...And results was same.

My body moved before I know it.

Then I quickly picked up the mobile camera that's was shooting me.

Then I clicked on video to play.

[First Video]

When the video started, I shuddered with embarrassment.

In the video, all my movements were awkward.

I didn't get the nickname 'Robot' for nothing when I was a trainee.

From jerky movements to awkward limb positions.

Ting.

The ball also flies awkwardly.

The heck?

When I was throwing the balls I felt like it's perfect but in video it come completely different.

Shaking my head I got up again and pick up the ball.

After that, I threw the ball a few more times, but there was no need to look any further.

I clicked back to exit the video and then clicked to enter the next video.

[Second video]

Within a few seconds of the video playing, I let out a sigh without realizing it.

Is that really me?

different.

Even the gaze processing is different from the first.

It's a bit clumsy, but no matter where I looked, my movements seemed more fluid and natural compared to before. The ball flew through the air with greater precision, landing exactly where I intended it to.

As I continued to watch the video, I couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement and wonder. It was as if I was witnessing a transformation, a gradual evolution from awkwardness to gracefulness.

Could it be that I was actually improving in real-time as I practiced?

The possibility both excited and unnerved me. If I truly had the ability to learn and adapt at such a rapid pace, then the implications were staggering.

But along with the excitement came a sense of unease. What if this newfound ability came with unforeseen consequences? What if I lost control or inadvertently harmed someone?

Pushing aside my doubts, I decided to focus on the present moment. Right now, I had an opportunity to explore and understand this mysterious gift that had been bestowed upon me.

With renewed determination, I continued to watch the video, analyzing my movements and searching for any clues that might shed light on the nature of my newfound ability.

After watching for quite some time I closed the video and let small smile.

'I was right, I really do have ability.'

"Ugh..."

As I tried stand up, at that moment my thighs began to hurt.

It's seems that since I was immeting the movement of professional baseball player, my body can't keep up even if my mind.

But nothenless, I was not depressed I mean how can I?

After all...A new path had opened for me.
