Vol.2 Ch.54: 29F - Bet (3)

29F - Bet (3): Horyang wakes up, alive and well, and wonders, why this is so. When Cassano walks in, Horyang rushes at him with anger and snatches him. Demanding an answer on why he betrayed him, Cassano replies with "teacher Sophia is waiting for us." Horyang's shocked, having his head full of questions.Novick and Ran are in a cell drinking soda when they see two hooded figures following Xia Xia through their cell door. They're headed towards Viole, who's wielding a 'thorn'.

Meanwhile in Koon's bunker, Hwa Ryun reveals that she was part of FUG, and it was because of work that she posed as a regular and got "failed." She also revealed that everything that happened on the floor of test was orchestrated by her, all to get Baam over to their side. After trying to punch her and being blocked, he asks where Baam was, only to find that Hwa Ryun didn't know. She said that it was the elders and slayers that had orchestrated the trap in the Hand of Arlen, and she also wanted Viole to have friends. She tells him about the compromise, which includes, that the team that wins the workshop battle would also get to be Viole's team, permanently. Because of Jinsung's strength, the elders were hesitant to defy him outright, thus this compromise was reached. As Koon curses his helplessness, he's alerted to Dan's revival.

He goes down, and breaks the news to Dan. To his surprise, Dan wants to participate in the factory round, to show Rachel that he hasn't given up. He talked about how all his teammates had been killed prior, and he never wanted to feel that helplessness again. He begs Koon to take him to the factory round, to show FUG what he's made of.

Koon goes down, and announces that he will 'join' their team, and defeat everyone. After being slightly intimidated by the means to which he would resort to to win, Team Tangsooyook agrees. Meanwhile, Viole is granted a Thorn by Reflejo.

SIU's Afterword
SIU's comment on Naver

Memories of you~ Our past love~

(tCNotes: These are lyrics from the song

"Thorn" by Buzz, a Korean artist duo. This is

also how I know "gasi" refers to "thorn")

SIU's Blogspot on Naver

Become Thorns~ That piece~ Into me~

(tCNotes: THe above is a continuation of BUzz's song, "Thorn")

In this chapter, Koon and Wangnan shook hands.

(tCNotes: In Korean "hold hands" also usually directly refers to "team up")

In fact, there wasn't much content but it was a chapter

that was impossible(...) to draw briefly, It may have been

a boring chapter for those too lazy to read...;; But I think

when I'm coming up with the story or releasing the chapter,

these chapters are te most difficult.



It seems that the teams participating in the

Workshop have pretty much been decided, and it

looks like Koon will have to work quite hard. Will Team

Wangnan be ablo to take on so many other teams

teeming with uber-strong characters(...)

Please look forward to it.

THen, to the students who are facing the doom

of the beginning of another school year and

to the workers who are facing Monday,



I will once again run toward my deadline

See you next week~
