Ep. 32 - Round Two is the thirty-second episode of Hand Jumper.
Plot[]
Responding to the incredibly easy victory by Dahee, Taeho calls cell 4 pathetic. He says that if other trainees are at the level of Sayeon and Iseul, it's surprising that the survival rate for trainees is as high as 20%. Dahee is horrified by what he is saying, and tells him to stop. Jungwoo Do tells Taeho to not underestimate cell 4, because Min looks experienced.
Both cells send their teams in for round two. Cell 3 sends Jungwoo Do and Taeho Gyeon, while cell 4 sends Ryujin Kang and Min Woo. A question Iseul poses to Sayeon implies that it was Sayeon who picked this lineup for their cell. Taeho's arrogant demeanor provokes Ryujin, and Taeho uses his gift to send a ball of fire towards Ryujin and Min, hitting the ground in front of them. The projective explodes on impact. Trying to understand what Taeho just did, Sayeon asks Iseul for an explanation of different types of essence.
Iseul tells Sayeon that orance essence is intangible and affects objects, yellow essence is intangible and affects the essence of others, blue essence is tangible and creates objects, green essence is tangible and augments the user's body, red essence is intangible and enhances the user's body, violet essence is intangible and distorts perception, teal essence is intangible and does weird things, and the white essence of godlings does something unknown.
The explosion from Taeho's attack makes Ryujin fall down, and Jungwoo Do attacks her using his blue essence to create a floating spear. Min parries the attack with his green essence in the form of a blade around his arm. Jungwoo notes to Taeho that he knew Min could fight. Taeho says that he believes Ryujin is useless in this fight. On the stands, Sayeon thinks to herself that she paired Ryujin with Min because she also thinks Ryujin will be dead weight. However, Ryujin is emotionally affected by Taeho's attack because she recognizes this type of gift. In a flashback, we see a younger Ryujin seeing an explosion in an apartment building and hearing another woman call for her to run away.
Meanwhile, Min has engaged Taeho in close-quarters combat. Junwoo attacks Min as well, but Min parries his spear. With another couple of movements, Junwoo manages to draw blood with Min. Using the opportunity, Taeho prepares to use his gift on Min but is interrupted by a punch to the face. Ryujin has made her way over to punch him, and looms over him. With a threatening tone, and her essence activated, Ryujin asks Taeho if his last name is Gyeon. Thus the episode ends.
