Inhyuk Goo

**Inhyuk Goo (구인혁** *Gu In-Hyeok***)** is a supporting character in the manhwa, *Eleceed.* He is the right-hand man of Jiyoung Yoo and one of the instructors who volunteered to teach the unaffiliated awakeners at the Awakened Academy. As a member of Shinhwa, his main ability is Aerokinesis.

## Background

He is known to be in the top 20 in the ranks of awakened people in Korea, however, his rank is unknown. He is often seen with Jiyoung as they assist matters of Shinhwa together.

## Appearance

Inhyuk has straight black hair that is slicked up and black eyes. He has a very prominent mole under his right eye. He has very pale white skin that is sometimes seems like he is wearing makeup. His face looks very intimidating with his thick and pointed eyebrows. He is mainly seen in a teal suit with small blue stripes with a button up and a grey cardigan as well as a matching set of trousers.

## Personality

Inhyuk is a very responsible individual who cares greatly about members in his organization as well as his friends. He is very patient and respectful to anyone, regardless of status as shown during his first meeting with Jiwoo. However, he is also honest, emotional, and forthright with a strong sense of justice. It is clear who he is fond of and who he isn't fond of. He quickly becomes fond of Jiwook and gives him good advice on not revealing his awakened abilities to others as it would give them an unfair advantage. Additionally, he helps look after Jiwoo and is often seen smiling with pride and happiness when seeing Jiwoo is alright or has accomplished something great. By contrast, when he dislikes someone while he will still act civil he doesn't shy from showing his distrust and distaste for the other.

Additionally, he doesn't care if an individual is affiliated or not and believes that any individual should have the opportunity to grow, as he alongside Seongha Park declinded to teach the affiliated Awakened ones who have had training for years and offered to teach the unaffiliated Awakened ones, who had either only recently discovered their power or didn't have backing or a chance to join a group as he felt they were far more inexperienced, going to so far as to stand up to Seongik Han, the principal of the Awakened Academy.

He is also very loyal to Jiyoung and Shinhwa as a whole. He is so loyal that even when Kayden makes an appearance at the academy and tells the instructors including Inhyuk not to tell anyone he was there, he tells Jiyoung about Kayden though he does apologize to Kayden when he meets him again. While he is exasperated by Jisuk's antics, bullying and short temper he is also fond of him and proud of his growing maturity.

He also seems to have a friendly rivalry with Sengoha Park. While they initially seem like they are on bad terms, it is quickly revealed they are quite close. He is shown to have a more mischievous side especially around Seongha Park, teasing him about his cat phobia and ribbing him. Nonetheless the two spend quite a lot of time together and are equally protective of the younger Awakened ones, even the ones not affiliated with or sponsored by their groups.

He has shown to love cats as he often tries to butter up Kayden's cat form with high-end treats. In addition, after Casein Nitrate is mistaken as part of Jiwoo's Awakened ability to communicate with animals (he doesn't have such an ability but passes off as such to disguise the fact Casein Nitrate is intelligent and actually Kayden), Inhyuk comes up with reasons for why Casein is so strong despite only being a cat, claiming cats are the greatest beings in the universe.

He also demonstrates great leadership abilities, to the point that he effortlessly manages to get the other instructors to follow his lead, to the point where in chapter 167 the instructors unconsciously defer to him and follow his lead and start questioning how that managed to happen.

## Abilities and Fighting Prowess

Inhyuk's main ability is aerokinesis. As he is in the top 20 of awakeners in Korea, he has very strong abilities and fighting powers.

**Aerokinesis**: Inhyuk is able to control wind. He is able to create tornados and whirlwinds. He has not yet fought in the manhwa, but being in the top 20 implies that he has a very strong control over his ability.

**Increased Speed**: Due to his awakener physiology, he can perform enhanced speed. When Inhyuk sensed that Jisuk and Wooin were going to heavily injure each other in a brawl, he was quickly able to go to the two and stop their ability.

**Spacial Isolation**: Like Jiyoung, Inhyuk is able to perform a spacial isolation. He used this ability before easily subduing possessed Duran Klein.

**Superhuman Durability**: Most broken bones and severe injuries would be critical to the average human, but since he is an awakened one most of these injuries are not serious. Awakened ones can recover in no time.

**Ability Canceling**: He can "cancel out" some one's ability with his own as shown when he used his ability to cancel out Jisuk's ability in a brawl with Wooin.

## Relationships

### Seongha Park

As two of the strongest Awakened in Korea, there seems to be a heathy relationship between the two. They have a friendly rivalry though have bickered on occasion (like a married couple). They are close enough for Inhyuk to tease Seongha over his ailurophobia and they spend most of their time together during their time at the awakened academy, including helping to teach the unaffiliated class together. They also tend to agree on protecting the younger generation and both are eqally stressed by the antics of the younger Awakened ones and do their best to reel them in and protect them.

### Jisuk Yoo

Inhyuk acts as Jisuk's caretaker a lot of the time, he has been around Jisuk long enough to be familiar with him and Jisuk has a lot of respect for Inhyuk even if he doesn't show it all the time. They are close enough for Inhyuk to scold and occasionally threaten him for speaking out even a little offending words about cats.
