While crunching on the candy Sunz thinks to himself “Hmm speed and reaction need to be improved. Skill can gradually improve on it own but I need to get used to using clan elements. My element arsenal is still too little, well gotta make it work somehow I guess!”

Later Sunz meets up with Jihu and Jun. The three then sit down and have a talk.

Sunz asks Jun: Any reason why you coming here?

Jun is surprised not because of the question, she then asks Jihu “Can he speak Korean” in Korean. Sunz then answer “No I can only speak English”.

Jihu put both of his hands on Sunz’s shoulder then tell him to translate what he was about to say: “Something in Korean”

Sunz answered with a smirk: Did you just call me an asshole!

Jihu is confused: Did I say it in English or Korean?

Sunz: English!

Both Jihu and Jun step back from Sunz in a ready stance. Jun summon a sword made of water then threaten “Who are you and where is the boy!”

Sunz’s mind “Oh it can do that too!”. Sunz then stand up like a statue and tried to explain “ Ok I am Sunz and this language thing happened because I ate a candy”.

Jun and Jihu are both confused, Jun then ask again “When did this happen!”

Sunz: “When I go to the bathroom then the mirror reflection turns into a guy called himself Merchant. He said that he just want to help me and gave me the candy”

The three didn’t say anything for a bit then Sunz speak up “Please don’t kill me!”

Jun sigh with relief “At least you’re not them” then tell Sunz and Jihu to sit down.

Jun point at Sunz: So now you can talk and communicate with us with no language barrier right?

Sunz nod

Jun talk in a serious tone: Then let’s talk business! I heard from Jihu that you going to join our tournament right?

Sunz: Yep! Are you against this?

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Jun: I’m not against you joining but sometimes things are complicated and your family isn’t in the same world as us. By doing this you’re putting your family in danger.

Sunz: Well everyone's life is in danger because of what kind of world we’re living in so joining this tournament wouldn’t change anything.

Jun: You’re a bold one kid but living life to the fullest is what we do. But did Jihu tell you anything about the tournament?

Sunz: I don’t think so!

Jun: To answer your question from before, I came here to test if you are qualify for the tournament as an inspector... And the result is you fail.

Jihu tells Jun: I know that he will fail but I told grandpa to give him a chance even though he is new to all of this but he has the skill and is trustworthy enough to be a member of our clan. So please give him another chance!

Jun: We know that you can see people's potential and go as far as asking us to give your friend a chance. You did not fail to meet our expectations as a secret inspector.

Jihu and Sunz were both surprised then Jihu said: Wait does that mean Sunz can join the tournament?

Jun smile: Yes he can.

Jihu and Sunz hi-five to celebrate!

Jun: But this means you’re the weakest in the tournament because all of those in the tournament had defeated their inspector. I’m the strongest of all but all the other inspectors aren’t a joke either. So don’t make mistakes in the actual fight, blood will drop, limbs will fall and death is watching your every move!

Sunz: For me, a ticket in the tournament is good enough, and being the dark horse is acceptable. But I’ll prove to you that I can win this tournament and after I win I have one request.

Jun: Hmm interesting let’s hear it!

Sunz: I want answers to any questions I have about the clan and their secret!

Jun: Sure but make sure to watch your back!

Sunz: Yes! I also have another question for you.

Jun: Don’t try kid I already have a boyfriend!

Sunz: Umm…ok, I just want to know about the water sword from before!

Jun: Oh that one it’s an advanced skill, mostly used when your weapon is broken or don’t have any. When you hold the weapon form of the element it also means you’re holding that element. Water weapons have better healing for holders but hard to handle, on the other hand fire weapon harm the holders if they aren’t immune to fire but it don’t have a limited range. That's all I can say so figure out the rest on your own.

Sunz:Sure I get what you’re saying, I hope that I can also train while sleeping.

Jun said to Jihu: Did you become friend with a crazy kid? We all know that you can’t train while sleeping!

Jihu: Oh no he is serious, you know my water purification ability. Apparently, he has a sword ability and his ability talks to him.

Jun surprise: That's why he was able to improve so fast in such a short time!

After talking for a bit later Jun said she had some business to do and leave. Sunz then asks Jihu to help him train his reaction.

2 weeks later Sunz and Jihu arrive in Korea!

Sunz: Can’t believe that Mr.Archibald books us first class ticket even though he doesn’t have to!

Jihu: Yeah it makes you wonder how much a “Butler” make. But we’re here now so do your best and win this whole tournament!

Sunz and Jihu fist bump in excitement, looking forward to what coming.

Sunz: Need to text mom and dad that I have arrived.

Family group chat

Sunz: I arrived at Korea

Mom: Ok son good luck on the tournament Mom and Dad will be cheering for you from home.

Sunz: Thank you Mom, Dad.

Sunz put his phone away then said: Let’s go
