Chapter 204
I thought it would take years.
Jae-Hyeok had prepared a long-term plan: Although Lion’s Castle was troubled waters, it still offered overt protection—so after becoming a student, Jae-Hyeok had intended to spend the next three years planning and building his strength, only moving against the Association after graduation.
However, the training foundation he had built over the last eight years proved greater than he’d expected. Only four months had passed since awakening his Initial Skill, but there he was—the center of a national event.
