His development is one of the most beautiful arcs in the story — from an ordinary student to one of the strongest generations of Hua Shan

Always oppressed by Qingming

Calm, rational, a mediator between the students, one of the first to befriend Chung Myung

He is sharply gifted with an interest in fundamentals and principles — he understands "why" technologies work, he doesn't just imitate.

Before Qingming's arrival, he was the sect's only hope, a man of striking appearance and strong morals.

In reality, he was "a big fish in a small pond"—Qingming described him as a frog in a well because he was comfortable being the strongest among the weak.

He left his wealthy family (House Pike) to surpass his older brother, and after the time jump he became known as Righteous Blossom / Dragon Sword.

A polite and upright person, he loses his arm in a battle against the Mannin sect and feels deep guilt, becoming the only one capable of "restraining" Qingming with his words.

Hyun Sang is a tough, strict but loyal man, and Hyun Young is the finance officer, obsessed with bringing money into the sect.

Un Gum — the oldest first-grade student

A polite and upright person, he loses his arm in a battle against the Manin sect and feels deep guilt, becoming the only one capable of "restraining" Chung Myung with a word.

Formerly known as the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, it was one of the three greatest swords of its time, and by far the strongest of them.

He fell with the Heavenly Devil in battle 100 years ago, then awoke in the body of a 15-year-old orphan boy.

His personality: curious, boisterous, nervous, loves money, food, and alcohol, enjoys provoking his elders—but inside he is a mature, deeply emotional person, feeling guilty about the deaths of his teachers and peers.

The strongest character in the story right now, he is nicknamed the Dragon of Hua Shan in the general public and the Mad Dog among his disciples 🐕

His talent: He easily adapts school techniques, creates new methods, and teaches students brilliantly.
