@Emerald_mage It kinda just looks like she was posturing that she could do it, with her hand on her chin like that. I was expecting her head to become a blur or something. I guess it was supposed to be so fast that the reader can't see it.
I think in the original webnovel she actually did a hyperspeed neck crack in front of him which is why he was so weirded out. A shame the artist changed that.
@zh3tigerrr It will never happen, he knows that this world is survival of the fittest and he's accepted that he was just an ant that had no right to life if someone stronger than him came along. They're actually on decent terms with each other if you haven't noticed.
@A_r41 The problem with Beru is that he has problems stopping his killing instinct when a threat appears. However, anything that threatens Sung's sister is to be killed, no questions asked. So it's not a problem.
He just wants the strongest protecting her.
I love the kid. Him showing up and actually instigating some progress and recognition in the MC made me double back and actually read the chapter. I had been skimming chapters because of how meaningless some of them have been other than their good art.
