Soo-Jung’s face brightened considerably. Still keeping her eyes on Ha Song-Su, she telepathically asked El.

Disappointingly, El’s reply wasn’t as satisfactory as she had hoped.

- The connection is faint. I’m sure his situation is a bit better now, but that doesn’t mean he is in the clear. Or it could be that…

Soo-Jung suggested,

-It might be because of that barrier around Eden.

Soo-Jung grinned and continued,

-You all heard El, right? My pupil will be returning soon, so from now on…
