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, Tangsooyook agrees.

Meanwhile, Viole is granted a new Thorn by Reflejo.

Digging into me~ This thorn~

This chapter was about Koon and Wangnan coming togehter

It really didn't have much content and I couldn't just draw it short (...)

For those that didn't like the read, it may have been a sub-par chapter...;;

These kind of chapters are hardest to do, trying to continue the story and direct it as well.

I think the teams participating in the tournaments are all set

It looks like Koon will have to push himself.

Will Wangnan's team be able to fight against the other teams filled with fiery spirit (...)

Please wait for the new chapter.

And kudos to the students facing the horrifying end of vacation

As well as you workers facing yet another monday

I'll be working my way towards a fantastic ending.

See you next week~

Thank you
