Noblesse

Noblesse is an eerie title for a blog like mine, but is is an interesting one for a “webtoon”. Moreover, a webtoon is exactly what is says: cartoon in the web. Webtoons are very popular among teens in Korea and it has an addicting sense that makes us viewers wait with anxiety until the date of new release. Naver, Daum, and many other sites have hundreds of webtoons with genres stretching from sports to melancholy. Due to my male-teenage-brain, I love to read action and adventure type of webtoons, and these days I am darted into “Noblesse”. So what is a noblesse? When I type it in the widgets page by pressing F4, it defines it as nobility; well then what is nobility? I type nobility again and it gives me the right answer: the quality of being noble in character, mind, birth, or rank. Furthermore, the main character Ry is a so-called Noblesse in the story, and a Noblesse is a specific type of race that has more superior aspects than human. I would love to tell you everything I know about them, but the author did not reveal everything to keep the story interesting. There is a scene that really touched my heart. The scene was focused on Ry and a huge monster villain, while nobody in the scene knows about Ry’s true strength as a noblesse. The monster villain who looks scary as it can be, goes in front of  Ry and stares at him as if he’s going to bite Ry’s head off, and this is how it goes.

Ry: A bit high (high as in tall)

Monster: Wh…what?

Ry: Your eye level is a bit high

Monster: (Gets outraged) What are you talking about!

Ry: (eyes get red and mind controls the villain; this is the first time for Ry to attack a villain) Kneel down

Monster: (cannot control himself and kneels down powerlessly)

Ry: This is our difference in level of ability

In case you didn’t understand, Ry forcefully made the monster kneel down with his eye’s mind control, and since the monster is kneeling down, his view point is much lower than Ry. Therefore Ry says, “This is our difference in level of ability.” to emphasize how useless the monster is compared to the noblesse’s strong intriguing powers.
