Ep. 17 - Revenge Story is the seventeenth episode of Hand Jumper.
Plot[]
Min, Iseul, and Juni are walking around eating goldfish and discussing the plot of star wars. Juni argues that Darth "Fader" should not have been forgiven, while Min believe it was right to forgive him. Non-aberrants are staring at the group as they pass by. When Min is asked about his opinion, he reveals that he has never heard of Darth Fader.
Iseul suggests that the group go looking for the missing Sayeon and Ryujin, but Juni dismisses his concerns. In response, Iseul asks whether she is purposefully trying to get herself fired from being a mentor, so that she can return to being head of security. Juni realizes that Iseul is "more perceptive than he looks." At that moment, she realizes that her lighter and cigarettes are missing from her jacket pocket. Ryujin and Sayeon arrive back at the group, with Ryujin handing Juni her lighter back. Iseul is relieved to see them return. Ryujin says she stole the lighter and cigarettes, and Juni is impressed, but they lie about where they went and say they just went for a smoke break.
In this moment, we flash back to a scene right after Sayeon and Ryujin escape the warehouse from last episode. Ryujin is coughing up blood. She tells Sayeon that this is happening because she activated her essence. Ryujin blames the Corps for setting her essence cuffs to max in prison, which caused her to have no energy there and to suffer. Ryujin says she was in prison for a full year with max essence cuffs, and still hasn't recovered. She says that the Corps is watching her, waiting for her to mess up, and that Sang must have assigned Juni to their group for that reason. Ryujin expresses her anger at the Corps, especially at Instructor Ahn, and vows revenge. She tells Sayeon that once she has recovered, she will "kill them all" and that Sayeon will see her on the news one day.
Back at the Corps base, Sayeon decides that she should try to figure out her gift, and activates her essence.
