Yul

Yul is a young swordsman whom Yeon-woo rescues in the Tutorial. His early gratitude matures into faith, and he later succeeds Freesia within By the Table under the code name Acacia.

Biography

Rescue in the Tutorial creates a lasting bond

Yul meets Yeon-woo while being threatened by Arangdan players and is stunned when the masked newcomer defeats all four assailants. Relief and gratitude lead Yul to explain mana, giving Yeon-woo an early conceptual foundation even though Yul's intuitive teaching frustrates a learner who needs concrete steps. The encounter changes both men: Yul survives the immediate danger, while Yeon-woo begins treating Yul as one of the first people he can trust inside the Tower. (Chapters 9–14, 117)

Acacia asks his first rescuer for help

Freesia's training eventually makes Yul her successor and the leader called Acacia, but rival executives use his concern for his teacher to pressure him. Unable to resolve the danger through By the Table's internal politics, Yul directs a quiet prayer toward Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo recognizes the unusually sincere faith, reads the plea within it, and captures the faction's instigator; Yul is saved a second time and returns to headquarters able to confront the crisis from a stronger position. (Chapters 726–730)

Appearance and personality

Yul is introduced as a handsome, strongly built young man with a sword at his waist. He can curl his lip defiantly at enemies, but astonishment and relief remain easy to read on his face when Yeon-woo turns the situation around. (Chapters 9–11)

He is naturally talented, loyal, and less decisive in political conflict than in personal belief. Yul's instinctive understanding of mana makes him a poor technical explainer, while his sustained concern for Freesia and faith in Yeon-woo show that gratitude has become a durable commitment rather than a passing debt. (Chapters 14, 726–730)

Abilities and powers

Swordsmanship and intuitive mana sense

Yul carries a sword and understands mana naturally enough to introduce its principles to Yeon-woo. The chapters do not give him a named sword technique or quantify his later combat level, so his demonstrated specialty is best treated as capable sword training supported by intuitive magical perception. That intuition is also a teaching limit: he understands what to do without always being able to explain how another person can reproduce it. (Chapters 10, 14)

Leadership and faith

As Acacia, Yul rises through By the Table under Freesia and gains authority over an organization whose leaders hide behind flower code names. His position does not grant absolute control; rival executives can exploit divided loyalties and force him into hesitation. His prayer to Yeon-woo functions as ordinary faith rather than a combat power, but its exceptional sincerity lets Yeon-woo notice his danger after gaining divinity. (Chapters 726–730)

Relationships
