Night in the Blue Pearl Sect was quiet. Raon crept through the library, the faint glow of the moon reflecting off endless rows of dusty scrolls.
**Scanning manuscripts… 12% complete.**
He sighed. "I should be sleeping."
**You could. Or you could stop being a background character.**
"…Touché."
**Scroll after scroll revealed flaws. Missing stances, incomplete breathing cycles, sloppy translations. The Blue Pearl Flow the sect's techniques' were riddled with gaps.**
**These were probably written by dyslexic monks.**
Raon frowned. "...Can you fix it?"
**Already rewriting. Try not to break anything.**
The characters on the scroll began glowing faintly. The symbols rearranged themselves, forming complete patterns. Rion watched, stunned.
**Technique restored: Blue Pearl Flow Complete Form.**
He rushed outside, heart racing, and began testing it. The air around him shimmered as energy spiraled along his arms. His movements became smoother, lighter, faster. For the first time, his strikes cut through air with precision.
**Datian Formation stabilized. Rank: F+ (Barely human, but shiny).**
Raon laughed softly. "Barely human's still better than dead."
He didn't notice the footsteps until Elder Cho Ryang's voice thundered behind him.
"Who authorized you to practice at this hour?"
Raon turned, panicking. "I was... uh... testing something?"
Cho's eyes narrowed. "You've modified sect techniques."
"No! I mean, yes, but... listen, it works better!"
Before he could explain, his Qi surged uncontrollably. The ground trembled. A sudden burst of blue energy knocked the elder off balance.
**Well done. You just assaulted middle management.**
"Oh, shut up!"
Cho Ryang growled, stepping forward but a calm voice interrupted.
"That's enough."
It was Master Hwan Dojin, the Sect Leader himself, with Jin Seoryun beside him.
Jin approached Raon curiously. "That stance… it felt different. Balanced. Natural."
Raon froze. "Uh… thanks?"
**Flirt harder, he's the MC.**
"I will delete you," Raon muttered under his breath.
Hwan Dojin studied the air still shimmering with residual Qi. "Interesting. Continue your practice, Guard RAon. But under supervision."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
As the others left, Raon exhaled shakily.
**Congratulations. 2 days and your already an approved government threat.**
