The intense fight came to an unexpectedly anticlimactic endâwith the entire unit as witnesses.
No one saw it coming.
Wi Seol-ah and Namgung Bi-ah lay collapsed on the ground.
And standing between themâwas Tang So-yeol.
I stared at her beaming smile and found myself speechless.
âSeriously?â
A flood of thoughts ran through my mind.
How was I supposed to process this?
Tang So-yeol had appeared out of nowhere and knocked both of them out cold.
And the most important detail?
âI didnât even sense her.â
Even with how chaotic the fight had been, I hadnât noticed her moving in to interrupt it.
Sure, the air had been saturated with Qi, and my perception had been dulledâbut it was still shocking.
It meant Tang So-yeol had honed her ability to conceal her presence to a frightening degreeâ
And that she had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
âShe slipped past my senses and into their blind spotâ¦â
It wasnât just luck.
She had deliberately erased her presence, slowly creeping closer without alerting anyone.
Not even me.
And when the timing was rightâ
âShe pulled it off.â
The fight ended just as she had planned.
âHah.â
I couldnât stop myself from exhaling in awe.
âSheâs good. Really good.â
