Jhin Syulargun/Synopsis

## History

Jhin was one the many kids that were scouted by Crosswell Nes Lubigate to train as his successor, and one of the only two who stayed until the end despite the grueling training. The other one was Iska, who would eventually become his best friend and brother-in-arms.

Because Crosswell's specialty was swords, he wasn't able to teach Jhin anything more than gun theory. This meant that Jhin would have to develop his own skills through hard work.

Jhin and Iska eventually joined Unit 907 of the Third Division from the Special Defense for Humankind, with Mismis Klass as their captain, and Nene Alkastone as their engineer. The four worked together until Iska acted on his own to liberate a captive witch, resulting in his imprisonment and the temporary disbandment of the team.

## Synopsis

### Volume 1

As the first one to learn of Iska's release, Jhin informed both Nene and Mismis about it, bringing the 907th unit back together for the first time in a year. He also told them about the conditions of Iska's release, which was to capture the Ice Calamity Witch.

On the way to the frontlines of the Nelka Forest, the unit was ambushed by a group of Astral Mages, but they were swiftly defeated by the team's combined efforts. However, a stronger enemy appeared soon after. Due to the urgency to support the frontlines, Jhin and the rest of the unit moved ahead as Iska stayed to deal with their attacker. When they returned to check on Iska, they discovered that he had also fought the Ice Calamity Witch.

Some time after that, the team trained at a training ground designed to simulate desert-like environments. When they were done, they reunite with Risya In Empire, who told them that they were going to be under her command for their next mission.

### Volume 2

Due to the severity of their next mission, Unit 907 took advantage of their remaining time and went on vacation. The team visited Jurak, the city of casinos, because Mismis wanted to win the jackpot. But the captain's intentions were noble, as she wanted money to buy the latest tank model so they could escape safely if anything happened.

However, because of the intervention of the Eight Great Apostles, Risya ended up deploying the Unit 907 in another mission. A new Vortex was discovered, so Jhin and the rest were dispatched to assist the troops that were already at the location to find it. After arriving at the Mudor Canyon, their captain introduces them to Shanorotte Gregory, her friend from the academy.

While looking for the vortex, Shanorotte informs them that three units went missing, so the four return to base. Once in there, the commander of the operation, Nameless, gathers everyone and tells them that they shouldn't look for the missing units and focus on the vortex instead.

The next day, the unit is able to locate the vortex, but they also discover the traitors that were responsible for the missing units, Shanorotte and her team, who were astral mages all along. Then out of nowhere, Nameless appears to personally punish the traitors. As Shanorrote escapes with Mismis as her hostage, Jhin is able to tag her car with a tracker.

Once at the Sovereignty's encampment, the three discuss about how much time they have before the Empire decides to destroy the vortex and everyone on it. Jhin and Nene then charge inside with their military vehicle in order distract the enemy troops, while Iska sneaks in alone to rescue Mismis. In the end, Jhin and Nene find their teammates alive. Although they were surprised after hearing that the two survived after falling into the vortex.

### Volume 3

Back at the capital, Jhin reproaches Mismis for getting captured and putting Iska in danger after she fell into the vortex, forcing the latter to jump after her. However, the team would soon find themselves in shock after discovering that Mismis developed an Astral Crest in her left shoulder, a sign that meant that the captain was no longer "human". Jhin explains that it must've been because she fell into vortex and got possessed by the astral spirit that it housed.

Despite being a "witch" now and an enemy of the Empire, Jhin and the others didn't treat Mismis any different, and told her that whatever decision she decides to take, they would follow her. In order to give their captain peace of mind, Iska brought Mismis to the Neutral City. However, while Mismis was buying drinks for the two of them, Iska wound up captured by Rin Vispose and the Ice Calamity Witch.

At the strategy room, Risya informs Unit 907 that they are allowed to go save Iska, and hands them a gadget that gives them artificial Astral Crests in order to infiltrate the Sovereignty. Jhin takes the device and pretends to stamp it on Mismis' shoulders, providing a cover for the captain's genuine Astral Crest. Afterward, Jhin decides to stamp the crest on his right leg.

Jhin drives the team into the Sovereignty and successfully infiltrates the 13th state, Alcatroz. They meet Risya near the Ollelugan Prison Tower, where she says Iska is being held at. But they soon find out that Iska isn't there and that they were tricked by Risya, who playfully apologizes. Now the three have to escape the prison without getting caught, since the place went into lockdown due to the escape of Salinger. Jhin offers to act as bait, but ultimately Mismis decides to take his place. The plan is successful and Jhin takes down the prison guards.

The three manage to contact Iska, who was confined in another location, and they rendezvous outside the prison. As they get ready to retreat, Iska asks for his swords back and 15 minutes because of something he needed to do. Unbeknownst to the team, Iska went on to stop Salinger. He eventually comes back and the four safely return to the Empire.

### Volume 4

Due to the number of high-risk missions the unit participated in such a short time, a medical officer from headquarters, Michaela, ordered them to take 60 days of vacation. During that time, they would need to figure out how to hide Mismis' Astral Crest, since there was a mandatory re-examination for possible side effects that the stamping device might've caused.

They travel to the independent nation of Alsamira, which is known for its tropical resorts. While Jhin carried a drunken Mismis back to the hotel, Iska reunites with the girl he freed from prison a year ago, Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX. Because she sneaked into his room and tried to get him to work with her, Iska changed hotels the next day to prevent his team from getting involved in another conflict. They arrive at the new hotel and Jhin offers to take Iska's luggage while he goes to exchange their currency.

Because Iska was taking too long to return, Jhin and the rest went out to look for him. They eventually find him with Sisbell in an oil plant surrounded by a squadron of astral mages, where Mismis recognizes the masked man leading them as the one who pushed her into the vortex, putting the Unit 907 into this whole mess in the first place. Lord Mask attempts to capture Sisbell for her alleged ties to the Empire, but he was stopped by Jhin, not because he wanted to help the girl, but because he wanted retribution for what he did to their captain.

In the ensuing fight, Lord Mask cuts Jhin's right arm with a knife, but Jhin takes advantage of this to shoot him with his left hand. Unfortunately, the bullet hit Mask's tape recorder instead, which he planned to use as proof of Sisbell's supposed betrayal. Lord Mask then attempted to start a fire in the oil plant, but Mismis' astral power suddenly manifested itself to prevent the fire from going off. Distracted by this unexpected turn of events, Jhin shoots Lord mask in the face, destroying his mask and causing him to retreat. After everything was resolved, Iska regroups with the team.

### Volume 6

When Unit 907 was about to bring Sisbell to Central State, Elletear Lou Nebulis IX intercepts them and reveals that she knows they're Imperial soldiers. She then coerces them into going to the Lou family's villa with her, delaying her return long enough for the Empire to strike.

After Elletear returned to the palace, Imperial soldiers from the Third Division arrived to attack the villa. However, Jhin is able to expose them as fakes by the way they were using their assault rifles and uncovers the Astral Crest of one of them. They eventually meet with Talisman, the head of the Hydra family, who came to Sisbell's rescue at the queen's request. However, Jhin also exposes him as a traitor, so Iska stays behind to fight him while the others escape.

While running away, they encounter an astral mage with the power over snow, whom he identifies as the "Witch of the Midnight Sun" from her characteristic clothes.

### Volume 11

Jhin was one of the many people present when Sisbell used her powers to project the past a hundred years ago.
