Taking place just at the end of episode 10. Seojun chases after Suho, who runs across a busy road. The two are then struck by a car and rendered unconscious. Suho has minor injuries, but Seojun is on death's door. After a stay in the ICU and a coma, he wakes up to discover he is now blind. The chance of getting any sight back? Slim.
Still pining for Jugyeong, and alone more than ever, he finds an annoying yet faithful friend in Sujin, the girl he's always despised. The two can't stand each other, and yet, they're the only ones who accept each other as they truly are. No mask, no persona.
NOTE: This book does contain Ableist language. This is not a representation of the author's opinions. Seojun is a character known for having a superior sense of self, and judging others harshly. When adapting to his disability, and to cope, his mind spirals down a dark path of self-judgment and stereotypes.
Kanda Kyoichi transmigrated to Konoha and became a temporary instructor at the Ninja Academy. Fortunately, he awakened the Mentor System.
By teaching others, he could earn rewards.
Thus began Kyoichi's career as a "teacher" in the ninja world.
Shisui: "Sensei's unique interpretation of the Will of Fire has given the Uchiha Clan a true sense of direction!"
Asuma: "The essence of the jade lies in protecting the people, with the advanced leading the way for the less experienced. Only then can Konoha become stronger!"
Kakashi: "He's my life mentor. He transformed Konoha!"
...
Years later, in the memoirs of Kyoichi, now the Hokage, he wrote:
"I honestly just wanted to be a life mentor!"
