### Summary
The debate surrounding Serpent cadet Yahyul's inscrutable motives has intensified, shifting from his ambiguous request for a courtship song to his latest baffling comparison of Instructor Sahwahyun to a "tree." This comment has become the new focal point of reader discussion, eliciting a mix of humorous frustration and deeper analysis. While many fans are exasperated by the remark, others theorize it is not an insult but a clumsy compliment, linking it to Yahyul's previously established love for forests and reinforcing the ongoing divide over whether he is cruel or simply socially inept. Despite the slow-burn pacing, anticipation is high for a future scene where the main characters will be completely alone, fueling hopes for a genuine confession. Readers continue to praise the manga's mature atmosphere, beautiful art, and gentle tone, while also showing growing interest in side characters, particularly a "blue snake" named Hwa-hyeon. Speculation has also emerged about a potential shared past between the leads, suggesting they may have met long ago in a forest.
