Then, one day, he stumbles upon a strange man dwelling in the largest suite of Daemyung Study Room. The man is a master of fighting, armed with wise sayings begot from experience and the charisma of a true champion! Finally, the master has arrived! Oh Pansu. He's the legendary street-fighter who has taken to a life of hiding and pinching pennies, longing for the day he'll get to soak up the sun on the shores of Mexico. Fifteen years ago, he was a renowned fighter, nationally recognized as one of the greatest brawlers of all time.

Would Byungtae, with his lack of experience and fighting techniques, be able to stand tall as a true fighter in this arena called life? What can Pansu do to help this unfortunate soul?
