Good job everyone today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Good job, team leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said, and as soon as Fang Raon stepped out of the training room, the Fourth-Liners gathered in a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Machary, do you think he is speaking the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes, you don’t have to worry.

Oh my...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shook—turning a little watery even—and he then moved each finger individually, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I can... Move...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved his left arm as well and formed a fist with each hand and then opened them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... Ahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be the happiest moment of his entire life, as he thought that he would never again be able to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then reached his hand towards the button and opened the glass lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Come on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon took a deep breath and tried sitting up, and his body slowly moved to an upright position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried moving his head left and right—it worked—and then he looked at his toes that he hadn’t tried moving yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he tried moving them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One toe moved... The second toe moved... The third toe moved...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon he was fidgeting all his toes and even moved his feet left and right, and then he pulled his knees to his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can actually move all my body...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon was trembling in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slowly climbed out of the Virtual Reality Pod, and stood on his two feet. It felt shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this real-world body of his had been lying on the bed for a couple of weeks, he had to slowly adjust to standing and walking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s even better than before. Before, I had to use crutches to walk because it was too difficult otherwise.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then tried moving, but he immediately lost his balance and fell forward, but he quickly caught himself against the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn... Let’s try it again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood back up and slowly moved his left foot... Then right... then left again... And while he looked clumsy, he was genuinely walking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to walk all the way to the bathroom by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, light started to pour into the dark room as the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Raon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a familiar voice. Chaewon’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She entered the room—didn’t happen to notice the standing Fang Raon—and she then turned on the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was at the front lounge, she happened to see that noise activation went off in Fang Raon’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only meant that something was making noise in his room, and since no other nurse should be going there, she knew that Fang Raon must’ve returned from the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, she looked away from the light switch and stared ahead, and she came across a standing young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was staring at her in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because she always had to help me, I thought that she might be taller than me, but now that I am standing right in front of her, it looks like I am much taller than her....’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon’s eyes widened in shock, and her gaze dropped to Fang Raon’s legs, and she noticed that he was standing all on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can move now... Surprise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, wet tears fell from Chaewon’s round, cute eyes, and she immediately hugged him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was barely reaching his shoulders, and then Fang Raon put his hand down on her head and patted her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","f71bd1fa43d79e1ef4bdd8c7c53526c7de5fef8bd4270f1d616ec6ddcb6d9aeb","black-online-chapter-115","black-online-chapter-113",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
