Dialogue

1. Click to read the message

"To the Pretender Who Claims To Be A Member of the Hongmoon Clan
You are a liar! All of the Hongmoon students were killed in Jinsoyun's attack. Your lies bring shame upon Master Hong and will not go unpunished! I challenge you to meet me in the Abandoned Well. It is there that we shall see if you are truly one of Master Hong's students.
P.S. Once you set foot in my lair, there's no turning back. So if you have other business in the Abandoned Well, do that first!"

2. Find the Masked Hongmoon in the Abandoned Well

3. Talk to the Masked Hongmoon

"You call yourself Hongmoon? Let's see what you're really made of."

Who are you?

"I'm going to prove you know nothing of Hongmoon."

We'll see about that."

"Oh. You think you're pretty tough. See these Disruptors? Nasty little monsters. You should Stomp them!"

4. Use Stomp when the Masked Hongmoon uses Heatwave to knock down the Shambling Fiends

"If you can't take these Seeker Fiends, you're not Hongmoon!

Cutscene

Masked Hongmoon:

"Not too shabby for a Hongmoon rookie!

Still confused, little Cricket?

It's me, Brother Hajoon!

Surprise! Right?

The mountains I had to move to get this far! Whew.

It would take us all night and then some to talk about my heroics.

And you've been pretty busy with the hero stuff, too! Haha."

Dialogue

5. Talk to Hajoon inside the Abandoned Well

"Haha, Cricket. I fooled you, right?"

"Don't act so surprised. It'd take more than a couple of jerks in snakeskin to take me out."

Is that really you, brother?

"No, I'm a ghost. I'm come back to haunt you. OooooOOOOooo! In all seriousness, it's good to see you're still among the living. So many friends... Master Hong... All gone. But we can't stop to mourn now. We have too much work to do. You need to train. A lot. If we both went after Jinsoyun and her cronies now, we wouldn't stand a chance. You must travel the Path of Hongmoon to defeat her. Lucky for you, I'm an expert Blade Master trainer. You may not know your appel from a hilt in the guard, but you will when I get through with you. Okay, let's keep training. Use Rush 2 to quickly take out some Illusions."

6. Use Rush against Illusion Fiends

Hajoon:

"Destroy the Illusion Fiends with Rush

"Good job! You've gotten better."

Illusion Fiend:

"(Groan) Never knew you were this fast!"

7. Talk to Hajoon inside the Abandoned Well

"Not bad, Cricket. Not bad."

"You know, I wondered why you were always Master Hong's favorite. It's starting to make sense now. Well done. But make no mistake, you still have a long way to go. You still have a lot to learn, Cricket. Stick with Brother Dochun. He's one of Master Hong's brightest former pupils and you're going to need all the help you can get. I'll send you a message when I'm ready for our next training session. Be punctual! I don't have all day, you know. Oh, and one more thing. I've sealed the entrance to all our Training Rooms with a charm. The only way out is by this portal or a Dragon Pulse. I guess that's it. Looking forward to training with you again, Cricket."

"Let's meet when the time comes."

"Things may seem bad now, Cricket. But don't lose hope."
