Standing Man's
Jihoon and Systema Introduction


After the incident under the bridge, Jihoon increasingly realized the importance of having wider and diverse martial skills. Although he had become extremely skilled in the use of an iron ruler, he wanted to learn more comprehensive martial arts and be able to help him deal with various situations that might arise.


One of his friends recommended to Jihoon to try Systema, a martial arts system that originated in Russia. They say that the Systema teaches basic principles for surviving emergency situations, coping with stress, and using the whole body as a means of defense.


Interested in this concept, Jihoon looked for Systema instructors in his area and found an experienced teacher who agreed to become his coach. The coach is a Systema expert who has spent years studying and teaching this system.


Jihoon started his Systema training with the same spirit and determination as he had applied in his previous martial journey. Systema was well known for his very practical and uninhibited approach, and Jihoon felt that this was the perfect addition to his martial skills.


One of the aspects taught in Systema is how to cope with stress and tension in dangerous situations. Jihoon learns to stay calm and focused even under great pressure, so that he can take appropriate and effective decisions.


In addition, Jihoon also learned various physical techniques, such as the use of proper breathing, the use of various body parts as weapons, and how to utilize the opponent's power to his own advantage. All of these are skills that can help him in personal defense as well as in martial arts.


Jihoon discovered that Systema was a very useful and practical martial system. He feels more confident and ready to face various situations that may come in the future.


During Systema training, Jihoon also met people from different backgrounds who had similar interests in martial arts. They form a community that supports each other in the development of their skills.


Jihoon not only learned physical skills, but also gained insight into how to understand himself and others in stressful situations. This helps him become wiser and more alert to his surroundings.


As he continued to continue his Systema training, Jihoon knew that he had found a valuable addition to his martial skills. He is not only "Standing Man" in the physical sense, but also in the mental and emotional sense.


With the incorporation of experience from Systema with his previous martial skills, Jihoon was increasingly prepared to deal with anything that might come in the future. He is someone who stands tall, is ready for challenges, and always strives to be the best.


Jihoon lives his days with more and more understanding of this mysterious power. He learned to listen to his deeper instincts and intuition, and he felt increasingly connected to Death Eye.


One night, when Jihoon was practicing Systema techniques outside his home, Death Eye appeared again. The distinctive red light was dazzling among the trees, and Jihoon knew that the presence of Death Eye was a sign of something important.


"Jihoon," Death Eye said in a deep, trembling voice. "You've grown really well. The power of Death Eye within you is getting stronger."


Death Eye continued, "I want to tell you that your ability with Death Eye is something very special. There are only two people in this world who can activate this power: you and me."


Jihoon felt surprised and a little confused. "What do you mean by 'just two people'? Do you mean yourself?"


Death Eye smiled - albeit in the form of intense red rays. "I am an entity that existed since ancient times, Jihoon. I am the Death Eye itself. And your ability to activate it is a sign that you are the chosen one."


Jihoon still felt confused and wanted to know more. "What exactly is Death Eye? Why can I activate it?"


Death Eye explained, "Death Eye is a power that comes from the energy of the extremely rare universe. It is a force created to protect and maintain balance in the world. Only a person who has a strong soul and good intentions can activate this power."


Jihoon pondered for a moment. This was a very profound explanation of the origin of Death Eye and why he, of all people, possessed this ability.


Death Eye continued again, "However, this power can also attract the attention of people who want to use it for their own sake. You must remain vigilant and wise in using it, Jihoon. Don't let this power tempt you to worldly desires."


Jihoon nodded seriously. He felt responsible for using Death Eye wisely, and he would not allow this power to be abused by himself or others.


Death Eye continued, "Jihoon, your future is an unwritten story. Your power with Death Eye will be a powerful tool in the face of challenges to come. Stay a firm Standing Man and never forget who you really are."


Jihoon listened carefully, permeating every word that Death Eye spoke. He feels that he has entered a mission greater than he ever imagined, and he will use his powers for good.


Just as Jihoon thought that the conversation with Death Eye had finished, suddenly the mysterious power began to fade. His dazzling red light slowly faded away, and Death Eye became increasingly faint. Jihoon tried to call out to him, but there was no response.


In an instant, Death Eye turned into fine dust and flew in the night wind. Jihoon felt a deep loss. The power that had been a part of his life, his invisible mentor, had suddenly left.


He sat there, feeling sad and empty. Death Eye had given him a lot of guidance and understanding about himself, and his loss was a huge loss. Jihoon promised himself that he would live his life as best he could and use the power he had inherited wisely, as a tribute to Death Eye who had supported him so far.
