Veritas is a martial arts sonyun Manhwa written by Yoon Joon-sik and illustrated by Kim Dong-hoon. It was published in Booking magazine from 2005 to 2010. The official website can be found here.Gangryong is a high schooler unlike others. He's a hard headed young man who's always dreamed of becoming the strongest. One day, he meets Youcheon, the ''Lightning Tiger'', who saves him from a bunch of thugs. Gangryong begs the Lightning Tiger to teach him, but the latter only teaches him one powerful skill and then disappears. One year later, people come to see him and announce that his "master" is dead and show him the only body part they managed to recover was the charred, broken remains of his arm. Because he was his only student, Gangryong has to follow them and go to a school where everybody has supernatural powers. He accepts this as a way to further hone his training and to find out why his master was killed. There, he endears himself to the student body with his reckless and cocky attitude.Part 1 has since concluded, with the series left in indefinite hiatus. A continuation of the series seems unlikely as the years go by, as Kim Dong-hoon has worked on multiple other projects since the end of Part 1. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Anichella was supposed to be a genius, and Vera's rival, yet she was killed in a fight with Guhoo, who isn't really all that impressive, and seems to be one of the weakest peaple in the student council. Rud even lampshades, how unbelievable that is. Averted with chapter 75. Turns out, Guhoo had some help and Anichella was just as tough as everyone thought she was. | |

Bolivian Army Cliffhanger / Bolivian Army Ending: Gangryong is fighting Vera, Yuri is awake, and the few people who've survived the portion of the manga are actively being hunted by the Traditionalists. If the artist and writer get around to doing Part 2 for reals, this will be the first one. If they don't, it's the second. | |

Absurdly Powerful Student Council | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_3eae625 | comment |
Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Vera Linus, as its president, can organise death duels between students. Not to mention that there's an obscene amount of backstabbing, deal-making, side-changing, and outright spies and conflicts of interest. The manga is half political drama, with interactions more suited to high-level corporate espionage and control than a freaking school council. Granted, this one IS backed by a multinational corporation... | |

Flashback | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashbacks: Used extensively. Veritas takes place near the climax of a bunch of conflicts that have been developing for years. The plot involves as many flashbacks to explain the current state of affairs as it does new events. One event, in particular, is the subject of multiple flashbacks from multiple perspectives, to show how important its effects have been: Lightning Tiger's attack on the Reunion school. | |

Sequel Hook: Despite Executive Meddling to force a fast-paced progression for its plot and almost facing cancellation, Veritas still ended on a note for a possible Part 2, even after the series' decline in popularity, Yoon Joon-sik (the writer) still expressed his will to someday continue Veritas with the previously planned Part 2. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Gangryong, several times. When he gets to the school at the beginning of the Manhwa, he's just a punk kid with the very basics of his master's style and is considered so pathetic that Vera thinks he's only going to be good for passing the style down to someone with potential. By the tenth volume of the series, despite the fact he's only really been practicing for a few years, he's stronger than people who've been born and raised as martial artists. Rud also counts, having taken a martial art considered so pathetic that Reunion didn't even bother to copy it into one of their styles and grown strong enough to be one of the strongest, most powerful fighters in school. This is the reason Shinra hates Gangryong so much. It really upsets her that some punk who has only been seriously practicing martial arts and ki channeling for a few years can match people like her who have spent their entire lives training and, in the case of Reunion members, risked their lives using experimental ki fusions. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Guesong's conversation with Vera after his failed rape attempt. Early on, while Gu Honse was giving tips to Gangryong, he noticed that Honse seemed to know a lot about the Heaven's Riches class of martial arts for some reason. It's because Honse dedicated the last couple of years to creating a martial art specifically designed to defeat Vera's Heaven's Riches. Yoochun (Lightning Tiger) mentioned that friends call him "Yoochun" while enemies called him "Lightning Tiger." As expected, almost everyone at reunion called him that in public. Although Vera uses "Lightning Tiger" to talk about him, she called him "Yoochun" when talking out loud after a flashback. It's because she fell in love with him after his assault on the school. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Funnily enough that's what Gangryong is in comparison with the other fighters at school. Since he's been training properly for only about a year, and has a minuscule amount of ki, with low purity, his attacks are really weak. To compensate for that, he has obscene amounts of real fighting experience he earned in street fights. It was most obvious in his fight with Eunhwa who was much stronger than him. He won by using superior tactics and having more experience, he even lampshades it here. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Gangryong admits that part of the reason he went around picking fights that he had no chance of winning is that no matter how powerful he gets, nobody will be able to shake their first impression of him as a weak loser. As of the climax of chapter 75, Honse proved that he's godlike at this. As of the final chapter of this part of the manhwa, Ganryong, for some time. Especially due to the fact that he was powerful enough to release Lightning Tiger's seal on Yuri will no effort, after chasing Fire Dragon deep into the forest. And even then, he still had more than enough power to pick a fight with Vera. | |

Blood Knight: Gangryong. His idea of a good time is a fight. He spends most of his time at the school picking fights with people. He's jumped right into the middle of a feud every side takes as Serious Business simply because that's where the good fighters are. Hell, the only reason he even picked a side was because his teacher was a Traditionalist instead of being a member of Reunion. He has very little loyalty to anyone but his master. | |

Waif-Fu | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_ba72eebb | comment |
Waif-Fu: Many (read: ALL) of the female fighters that have shown up so far do not have the physique one would expect of someone who has both trained in martial arts for their entire life and participates in (sometimes) rather bloody fistfights using said martial arts (the most obvious examples being the aforementioned Vera and Shinra, who have the bodies of bikini models rather than fighters). Contrast this with most of the male fighters that have shown up, who are ripped and generally have the physique of someone who regularly trains in hand-to-hand combat (e.g. Gangryong). However, due to the ability of ki to drastically augment the strength and power of the user, developing muscle tone is not quite as necessary as it is in real life. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_cc427069 | comment |
Hard Work Hardly Works: A main theme. Everyone but Gangryong and Vera have taken Ki transfusions that exceed what would usually be gotten through a lifetime of training multiple times. A good deal of the plot is Gangryong trying to bypass his obvious and extraordinarily bad disadvantages through sheer hard work, pain, and dirty, dirty fighting. Also shown in that many of the students give up their own family's style to take up Reunion's, which is far easier to use and train with, rather than master their own intricate and hard to use styles. It's worse than that. The students never really learned how to fight, choosing to rely on flashy techniques, speed, and power, while glossing over the basics, such as proper stance and breath control. In a straight-up fistfight, even some of the most powerful students make rookie mistakes, like dropping their guard, a fact Gangryong gleefully takes advantage of. | |

Generic Cuteness | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_cc6d95ac | comment |
Generic Cuteness: Subverted. Despite using a fairly glamorous art style, and having almost every character in peak fighting shape, the artist actually managed to make Gangryong believably uglier than everyone else without resorting to Gonk. It's noted many times in story, including by Gangryong himself. He's just much too Hot-Blooded to be yet another lame-ass pretty boy. Many readers think he looks just fine. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: So the amazing defensive technique everyone is shocked by is...a half step to the left or the right? That seems like kind of a no-brainer. | |

Curbstomp Battle: Listing them all would take too long, but the most notable ones have been Vera vs Guesong, and LT vs the entire student council! | |

Determinator: Gangryong, once he gets into a fight, he won't stop until he wins or loses. | |

There Can Be Only One | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_e69004a6 | comment |
There Can Be Only One: In order to be recognized as the leader of Reunion and Heaven's Riches, Vera kills every other student at the school barring the Nine Dragons who were away at the time. The twisted logic behind this is that the power of Reunion can only belong to one worthy successor, and the "traditionalist" students at the school were still "tainted" by Reunion and had to die as well. Gangryong is the only person Heaven's Riches will allow to live since he never participated in Reunion's experiments and his training under Lightning Tiger was "pure". | |

Jerkass: Gangryong, at least, when he's trying to pick a fight. Hayato, who is by FAR the calmest and least volatile of the cast, still manages to get riled up after a little while. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Gangryong WILL hit a girl or at least tries to, if she pisses him off. Everyone else, as well. Gender holds absolutely no sway over brutality in combat in this manga, and two of the three strongest characters introduced are sisters. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| Veritas (Manhwa) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Subverted, when Madoka wanted to take out Gangryong after finding out that he will be helping Rud to take over the student council. Instead of slamming him to the ground instantly, she got into a discussion with him. While she was talking, Gangryong had the time to make a few attempts to use a new technique, although he managed to fire it off successfully, only after she stopped talking, and was about to waste him. | |
