==Summary==
Hyeseong Cha is a student attending Nest University. First making a background appearance with Huijin Park outside the movie theater Suchan encounters the Mantis in, he is properly introduced fighting Dohwa Cheon in the courtyard right before course registration. Later on, the four of them end up being put together in Group A of Practical Combat for Insects.
Hyeseong is among many Insect Humans at Nest who did not use Power Killer on their own volition, but instead were forcibly turned by Pet Shop. Hyeseong was subjected to Power Killer used on a Hexacentrus katydid, granting him high speed and strong jumps, plus a line of serrations down his legs. His midterm challenge is to cut down all incoming projectiles while being pelted by a tennis ball machine, in order to increase his technique using his Defense Mechanism.

Range: Extended Melee Range (Primarily fights with his legs)
Standard Equipment: None
*Optional Equipment: Shin Guards
Intelligence: Skilled Combatant (Actively trying to become Valedictorian, and was the next person on Jangjun Kim's hitlist after Huijin Park, implying he placed near the top of the class during the first semester. However, he should still be behind Valedictorian Candidates like Huijin and SuchanChapter 54)
Weaknesses: Possesses a fear of being seen as a load and left behind due to his past, as well as an inferiority complex due to frequently finding himself outclassed on several occasions by both enemies and allies, which can affect his decision makingChapter 37. Defense Mechanisms are physically taxing to use.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*The Defense Mechanism of the Katydid: Defense Mechanisms are the way the human body reacts to threats, tapping into one's animal instincts to exert more force when the need arises. Insect Humans can harness far greater power this way, with their Defense Mechanisms allowing extended access to their Complex for more abilities.
**Scythe Kick: From the phenomenon of insular gigantism in island dwelling katydids, Hyeseong gained the ability to enlarge the thorn on his leg into a large blade during his fight against the Stag Beetle on Black Island.
***Scythe Kick- Liner: A variation on Scythe Kick where the blade straightens out, while the edge flips to the other side.
Note: The specific genus of Hyeseong's Complex was stated early on in the original Korean narration, but was lost in the English translation.
