Vol.2 Ch.06: 20F – The Strongest Regular (1)

20F - The Strongest Regular (1): Meet some of the new characters, including the spoiled Prince, the indebted beauty Yihwa, the taciturn strongman Rapdevil, and our ever friendly loan-shark, Lurker returns. The next preliminary test will select 8 regulars, it is a punch test using Shinsoo and Wangnan quickly realises he is out of the competition seeing his name down in 10th place as Horyang takes the lead.

More in depth summary:

Wangnan and GoSeng talk about the newcomers including the beautiful black haired Yihwa, a member of the Yeon Family, one of the 10 Great Families and Wangnan despairs as he notices his friendly neighbourhood loan shark, Lurker.

Lurker comes over to tell Wangnan that his group are all hired to help of one of their members, Prince, who managed to bribe his way into the testing. The group includes Yihwa who is indebted after failing her previous test and Rapdevil, a man known as the Devil of the Right Hand, who is rumoured to have defeated Hatsu (from Season 1).

Wangnan is worried and assumes that whether or not he will be able to pass, will come down to what sort of test will be used.

Their tester, the Ranker Love appears and introduces the test - a shinsoo strengthening ability test, to select the eight people to advance to the next round of testing. The test is simple, striking a target with as much force as you can muster - it is a test which Wangnan realises is strongly not in his favour, something that is soon borne out as we see his name well outside of the top eight.

Prince's group seems relaxed, Prince mocks those who have already attempted the test and suggests (among his group) a bet to make things more interesting; the winner will receive ownership of Yihwa who is indebted to him.

Horyang tells him to be quiet and takes his turn at the test, obtaining over 6 thousand points, doubling Akraptor's previous high score of over 3 thousand. However Prince is not impressed, retaining his confidence in the face of this incredible strength.

Most of you might have noticed, but this test is an idea borrowed from Dragon Ball's Tenchibukai test. Truthfully, it's a common concept that appears quite often in shounen manhwa, But I thought it'd be fun, and I always wanted to draw a scene like this, So I chose this test. (In reality, Lero-Ro's Shinsoo Wall test was also a shounen staple ^^;; You can take this test as a similar one.)

Lately, I've been loaded with work, and preparing for the next part's completion is taking a toll on my health. I didn't get to go out once this week...ah...I want to see the sun... And so, for the next few chapters, there won't be a sudden increase in content. It's regrettable, but it's better to have a consistent level of content, so please don't get angry with me ^^

Ah, and it seemed like many people were curious about the names of the characters in Part 2.

Silver Hair - Hon Akraptor Teddy Bear - Kang Horyang Schoolgirl - Yeo Miseng Glasses Girl - Yeo Goseng Delivery Kid - Nya Nia

Other characters' names will be revealed throughout the chapters.

Thank you!
