Guys I just wanna say, many people on other sites were hating on MC for throwing his weapon during this fight, saying it’s illogical because he’s a teacher and should know better but before anyone does that here, I just wanna mention some things from novel.
Hee-Jae mentions that he’s still unused to sword at times and in particular when he fought Alex Hope, the length of the sword was different then what he was used to so he missed cutting him few times (he wasn’t using his aunts sword at that time but still)
Also Throwing a spear is perfectly normal! At least, in Hunter Hong‘s fighting style because he also threw it just few chapters ago! So MC throwing it when he has same style as his father but faster is normal!
Also Hee-Jae was trained well and would often (if not daily) train with his father in mountains and sometimes enter dungeons as replacement for Hunter Han who often got in trouble and would get his hunting license taken, but he was still mostly on desk job job.
Even if he didn’t throw the sword, it wouldn’t stop the explosion that Bloom caused too. Once runes are activated with mana, it won’t stop even if mage dies in that split second because mana already entered it.
Also Bloom was strong enough to wound mr Han like this, who is apparently second strongest Korean awakened after Hunter Hong in future (Hee-Jae is currently stronger but he admitted he would lose to him in future) and all that while he was also injured.
This situation isn’t simply „MC should know better, why did he spare him / why did he throw his sword“ so I hope the comments stay like this instead of being toxic #-.-)
