'Raphael isn't getting caught...'

I didn't think he did anything sneaky. Considering the timing of his appearance, he couldn't have been caught already.

It seemed like he cleaned up his tracks in the past too... There was no evidence or trace of his activities even within the five districts.

If he had been so stupid in the first place, then he couldn't have done such a bold thing. I didn't know a lot about him, but I was pretty sure he had already erased his past identity.

I could assure anyone that I wouldn't have been able to identify him instantly if it weren't for the Mind's Eye. Nevertheless, Kim Hyunsung had a complicated expression and a clear feeling of caution.

I couldn't exactly explain it, but... Perhaps that was...

'Is it his instincts?'

Perhaps the regressor's instincts honed experiences had been triggered.

I wasn't certain because I'd never experienced the same things, but it wouldn't be wrong to say I felt as if something dangerous was about to happen, just like Park Deokgu.

Did the Mind's Eye grow through experience?

Or was the light some sort of hazard sensor?

How did I know what Kim Hyunsung was thinking just by knowing that he had some form of intuition?

'I've never been the kind of human being like Kim Hyunsung is...'

There seemed to be something in me that allowed me to detect things at a certain level.

'What am I supposed to do?'

Although I had worries about it, it wasn't at all considered bad.

Of course, we had to refrain from over-pushing and ostracizing behavior, but it was better to have a little caution than none.

I just finished organizing the idea of recruiting Raphael to our side, but he hadn't even become my subordinate yet. I needed to exercise enough caution and selection since there was a chance that he would stab me in the back with his Holy Sword.

Especially considering...

'I can't keep watching him myself.'

I naturally welcomed Kim Hyunsung for that role.

What was a little surprising was that Jung Hayan didn't react.

In one way or another, she seemed to think that it wouldn't matter even if a strange man joined the group because it was confirmed that she would still spend most of her time with me.

Wouldn't it be better to describe it as perfect indifference?

As some expressed hostility and others expressed indifference, Raphael seemed extremely uncomfortable. I didn't think he'd receive a highly welcoming situation, but their reactions seemed more unexpected.

He must've been relieved that the committee had set up his destination by that time.

'I wonder what he's thinking.'

Although his expression revealed embarrassment, I wondered how he was judging the atmosphere.

"It's nice to meet you, for now. I'm Kim Hyunsung, the master of the Blue Guild."

"Hmm... I'm Park Deokgu. You're pretty good-looking."

"Hello, I'm Ahn Ki-mo."

"Kim Ye-ri."

"My name is Elena, member of the Blue Guild. It's an honor to meet you."

"I'm Sun Hee-young. That's all you need to know."
