Chapter 15 - Chapter Fifteen: Storms on the Horizon

Back at the Arcane Sanctuary, the disciples were on high alert. Reports of spies and skirmishes along the borders were becoming more frequent. Jihoon's second-in-command, Jang Seok, took charge in his absence, leading rigorous training sessions.

However, not everyone was adapting well. Seojun, the brash newcomer, began questioning Jihoon's leadership. "We're wasting time with magic," he said during a heated argument. "The martial sects will crush us with brute force."

Jang Seok silenced him with a sharp glare. "Doubt all you want, but remember who saved you when the martial sects abandoned you. Jihoon's vision is our only hope."

Seojun reluctantly backed down, but the tension lingered.

Meanwhile, Jihoon and his team reached the second outcast clan, the Moonshadow Tribe. Unlike the Ironwood Clan, the Moonshadows were reclusive and mistrustful. Jihoon had to navigate their labyrinthine forest home, proving his worth by solving riddles and surviving traps.

When they finally met the tribe's leader, an enigmatic woman named Elder Mira, Jihoon explained his mission. Elder Mira tested him with a duel, pitting her shadow-based martial arts against his magic.

Jihoon emerged victorious, earning the tribe's respect. "You fight with honor," Mira said. "The Moonshadow Tribe will stand with you."
