"A photo, a moment, a short story"

SINCE MUN IS now officially a part of the group, they will need to provide him with training and educate him about the various kinds of malevolent entities that could potentially be encountered at any given moment. It is important to remember that he is a novice and has a great deal to learn, so it is crucial to expedite the learning process.

Mo-tak assumed the responsibility of instructing him in the fundamental principles, while also acquainting him with the distinct abilities possessed by every individual within the Counters.

Thea folded her arms across her chest, attentively listening to Mo-tak's every word, which brought back memories of him reprimanding her in the past for not focusing during his explanations. Now that she comprehends everything he was attempting to convey, it became simpler for her to be attentive.

"It means the spirit has eaten four to five souls. But is all case by case. Some stay at level two even after killing more people. If the evil spirit and the host are very compatible, they can reach level three more quickly" Mo-tak elucidated, pacing from one end to the other, providing the teenager with all the essential details

"Once they enter level three, they can talk in two voices" Hana casually leaned against a table and glancing only briefly at the new group member

"In two different voices?"

"And that can evolve into the host and the evil spirit becoming one. That's level four. But we haven't seen it yet" Mo-tak replied, shifting his gaze towards Thea and Hana "Wasn't that your first time seeing a level three?" Both young women acknowledged with a nod, giving confirmation to his assertive remarks

"Then how strong is level four?" Mun inquired, expressing concern, he couldn't possibly envision the extent of his teammates' deterioration when battling an evil spirit. However, the memory of the recent demise of one of his companions caused him to feel a sense of unease about the potential outcome now that he has become a part of the situation

"All of us would have to fight together to beat it" Thea uttered, glancing down at the young boy next to her, his innocent eyes, resembling those of a young deer, quickly locked onto hers, displaying his eagerness to continue learning, seemingly motivated solely by her voice

"Only when we have our territory" Ms. Chu entered the place, causing their unexpected staring contest to be disrupted as she held a sketchbook in her possession

"We might be able to do it if Mun reaches Cheol-Jung's level" Mo-tak showed certainty as he looked at the young boy, who affirmed his determination to train harder and achieve a higher skill level
