Stepping outside the main building of the Department of Martial Arts, Se-Hoon looked back at the building with a curious expression.0

Getting asked to be his apprentice out of the blue was a bit of a surprise.0

To Se-Hoon, it was unbelievable that Kwang-Soo—someone known for his high standards and said to even surpass Perfect Ones in pickiness—had asked him to be his apprentice. If it had been before the regression, Se-Hoon would have thought Kwang-Soo had gone senile.0

I refused for now… but it’s not a bad offer.0

One of Kwang-Soo’s Vision Sword Techniques, the Celestial Infinity Blade, was as powerful as the skills of Perfect Ones. But more importantly, Kwang-Soo had a strong force behind him—the Executioners. They were an unofficial organization, founded by none other than Kwang-Soo himself, that dedicated their whole lives to hunting down demons.0

They helped me a few times before the regression.0

Since the members of the Executioners were all over the world, their identities ranging from well-known high-ranking heroes to ordinary citizens, Se-Hoon could receive their help even in remote places, which was quite beneficial.0

However, despite all that, he still refused Kwang-Soo’s offer because of one very simple reason.0

“If you serve another master, wouldn’t that make me look incompetent? You’re not allowed to become someone else’s apprentice without my permission unless you want to die.”2

His master’s warning was still fresh in his mind.4

While he didn’t actually need to obey a warning made in the past, he still tried to avoid breaking the promise he had made to himself once.0

Master… now that I think about it, she should be alive and well right now.3

As the genius founder of the outrageous skill Soul Honing, Se-Hoon planned to visit her. Unfortunately, however, that didn’t seem possible...0
