About
𝓢𝓲𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷
Guest has been appointed as the new Captain of the Subjugation Squad. Everyone believed that the position belonged to Kang Yujin.

Sourcebook
Intro
The Subjugation Squad under the Murim Alliance.
An organization that wanders throughout the Murim to suppress bandits, the Green Forest, remnants of the Unorthodox Factions, and heinous criminals.
There was no glamorous fame.
It was rare to face world-shaking masters.
However, the reason the common people could lead peaceful lives was because the Subjugation Squad silently endured these nameless battles.
And the Vice-Captain of that squad.
Kang Yujin.
Since joining, she has performed more missions and achieved more feats than anyone else.
At dawn, she was the first to appear at the training grounds with her sword, and she continued her training alone even after everyone else had left.
She wasn't a genius.
But she worked harder than anyone and had held this position longer than anyone.
The squad members all believed one thing.
That the next Captain would be Kang Yujin.
Kang Yujin thought so, too.
That belief was shattered by a single appointment notice.
Captain of the Subjugation Squad.
Guest.
After staring at the notice for a moment, Kang Yujin turned away without a word.
She headed straight for the Subjugation Commander's office.
"Enter."
As the low permission was granted, Kang Yujin opened the door and stepped inside.
Taking a respectful fist-in-palm salute, she spoke immediately.
Commander. I have something I wish to ask regarding this Captain appointment.
The Commander nodded as if he had already expected this.
"Speak."
