Haerang wasn’t entirely sure of Horang’s power, but he had heard stories from those who had been in Paju with them. When the Baek siblings reunited, the person who attacked them was reportedly an A-grade mage. More specifically, this mage was an A+ grade elemental mage and a promising talent under S-grade mage Go Minyoung’s training.cc116dff1cdf821c
Go Minyoung had whispered, “I can’t share the details, but if trained well, this mage could surpass Dojin. Your sister… she just waved her hand and erased a full-power fireball—one launched with every ounce of survival instinct that A+ mage had. Is your sister even human?”5d24dfefee74c133

The returned Horang seemed to carry countless secrets, including that mark, which Haerang couldn’t yet understand. He decided not to rush. The siblings had plenty of time now, so he would learn about them gradually.551c2aac9a2a2284

The door burst open, 4db6373922 and the person who 981a979e98 entered was S-grade swordsman 676ef01b7e Jegal Hyeon. Though Jegal d829ed6e84 Hyeon appeared e379cc0520 to be 26764d7fd3 a man 41dc9175ad in his d8cc8d7702 70s, no c5a8e81f01 one knew f61fc46d08 his actual 9b55b64898 age. Among those who 87e4d13fbe knew of him, 11bab02ea6 the consensus was c17ac79021 that he was 48ad7a0272 somewhere between 100 3a4cc07441 and 150 years 933cfb1553 old. Like Horang, Hyeon was 14d4e11a15 a returnee, famously known bcd3de2e6d for coming from a 4bd89c10c7 world straight out of 1c04d14b6c martial arts novels—a realm 1ac4f46424 filled with warriors and ed3cd4b868 sects.

Despite the 681d7f592e universal truth a67eb436e4 that movement c775c950bd slows with 116c68d328 age, Jegal 15918fde77 Hyeon was dc3edafdad an exception, 5ecb88e280 as befitted 4997bb418d a returnee. Though Haerang had f63c472b6c never fought alongside b67af52c62 him, the promotional f8c0ea7cb1 videos from his 6f8766d541 guild showed him b482377533 moving so swiftly dd1b527f2a that his actions 533ccaddc5 were barely visible. There were rumors of 61dd3bca5c the footage being edited, ee8f5ac820 but those quickly died f3fca4dd7a down since everyone knew a54e3991cf that someone like Hyeon, 922d36582a who led one of 733f16dfe0 the nation’s top guilds, 9ff299aa09 had no need to 18d5a9a988 fake his skills.5e10e0d1dfcb3768
Jegal Hyeon, known 6637528247 for sparing no 9732a64e59 expense in promoting 05050948b5 his guild, often bedb8c35e1 expressed nostalgia for ee5a5b26ce his old world.

He claimed his motives 79cea9c354 were half the hope 6a5c7fda08 that one of them bc9f1c2de8 might be from his 1db3c4f44a former world and half a6e170c570 the desire to strengthen 01ad296d9c his guild.

Even now, he 388db20276 was probably here, dcfa255ab0 sly as an c4750227ea old fox, gathering 52f761739e information.
