The Gamer, Speed Downgrades

This has been bothering me for a while, so I decided to look into it, especially after reading last weeks chapter.

Firstly, with regards to their travel speed, the link of Jee-Han's page doesn't work. Upon looking for the specific chapter myself, I found it to be in chapter 88. Even though it's only level five of the ability, the scan for the exact speed is here: [1], notice how what's in the parenthesis are what we have for our exact speed. Yet, on the very next page: [2], he claims to be moving about as fast as a car. While the author has confused the speed of the return stroke of lightning with that of light, I don't believe that the author is so foolish as to believe that cars can somehow move at massively hypersonic speeds.

Here is a different translation of the source material: [3] where we have 100km/h given as the speed, far more consistent with his subsequent statement. I believe there was a mistyping, as 100km/h is about 62mph, not 62 miles per second. Thusly, all the characters with travel speeds scaling from Jee-Han, should be downgraded to: SuperHuman (27.78m/s), likely higher, until we get better speed feats.

In addition, with the release of the latest chapter, it seems like the higher tier characters have transonic reactions (possibly higher as the Guild leader wasn't using blue flames for acceleration of her body) scaling from the Guild leader (Reference here: [4]). Jee-Han needs advanced time acceleration in order to keep up, so it stands to reason that his reaction speed would be superhuman as well. Though, I have found a potential place to perform a calculation that may make this point moot, and give the verse a solid reaction speed feat. Though I am in school right now and very busy, so it will likely be some time before I can look further into it.
 
Well, the LINE translation is official, so I suppose this should be alright.
