Considering Jongsu was trying to blend in with his human form, perhaps he should have lagged behind a bit during the swimming competition. Unfortunately, his naiad half had taken over as soon as he was in the water. Even with concentrating on keeping his human form, he had easily beat the competition. It was a combination of age, experience, and no other water folk being in this particular race. The humans were all too afraid to lose to them.
Sometimes, messing with them was just too easy.
Jongsu began to dry his hair. It was only in the last decade that he had decided to rejoin the general community in Hanjeong. No one seemed to notice that he didn't age much. Humans were incredibly self-centered. That never changed, no matter where he traveled to.
Though many in Hanjeong suspected he was a half-blood, he usually never admitted it. Old habits died hard. Back in his day, being a half-blood could easily get him killed.
"So, you going to compete in the next one? I am going to wait until the fencing competition," he said. Jongsu had an unfair advantage, but that was of no particular concern to him. Besides, it wasn't as if anyone would die at the end of it.
