Chapter 103
##103fury. counterattack (1)
Somehow, the story that Poong Jin-ho and Baek Soo-ryong had a big fight the night before spread throughout the Cheongryong Academy..
“……Didn't I clearly tell you not to make Feng Jinho your enemy?.”
“sorry.”
Mae Geukryeom clicked his tongue and picked up the teacup and took a slow sip..
On the other side, a white water dragon was quietly kneeling and giggling..
“I was definitely banned from joining, but what kind of bastard spread the rumor?…….”
“be quiet.”
“……yes.”
Mae Geuk-ryeom pressed her fingers to her temples, where her head was pounding..
“Who on earth do you resemble, causing trouble wherever you go? … . It was both..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom, who remembered the faces of her daughter and son-in-law at the same time, covered her face with her palm and sighed..
Among the problem children I have seen while working at the Cheongryong Academic Center for over 30 years, Baek Soo-ryong was the result of two of them running away at night..
“How awesome is this guy who came between those two?…….”
“Grandpa, I feel so wronged..”
In the meantime, Baek Soo-ryong straightened his back and spoke, wondering why he was so proud..
“If your grandfather had seen what he was doing, he would have split him in two..”
Baek Soo-ryong was able to bet all his money on the fact that it would still remain..
Of course, Mae Geukryeom only clicked his tongue at his immature grandson..
“They say you avoid poop because it's dirty, or because you're scared. Something that could have been avoided if you had just been patient.…….”
“No, that kid……!”
“What is that bastard?”
“Phew. no.”
Baek Soo-ryong kept his mouth shut..
I couldn't bear to say that Feng Jin-ho had mentioned Mae Geuk-ryeom's failure to go to her dead daughter's funeral..
‘If you look at it, she's not even my biological mother..’
Anyway, isn't it the mother who gave birth to this body?.
If you stayed quiet after hearing those words, you were a fool..
“……I won't get involved in your business..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom spoke in a firm voice and drank tea slowly..
He continued speaking hesitantly..
“The reason is…….”
“Of course you should.”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded as if he should do so..
“There is no need for your grandfather to get involved in this matter. I will prove myself.”
“You probably know that in order to prove your skills, you must first meet the minimum number of students enrolled.?”
“yes…….”
Baek Su-ryong answered in a hushed voice..
<Understanding Sapa martial arts and preparing for practice>.
If the minimum number of participants is not five, the course will not even start and will be canceled..
“Poong Jin-ho is a person with extensive connections and is well-versed in politics. In addition, his teaching skills are good and he is popular with students. I will use all kinds of tricks to disrupt your lecture..”
That kind of trash is a popular instructor..
White Water Dragon sighed softly..
“Unfortunately, personality and skills are not proportional..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom narrowed his eyes and glared at Baek Soo-ryong..
“Are you saying this to yourself??”
“no…….”
Even though he was good at talking back in front of any absolute expert, why does he become so small when he's in front of Mae Geukryeom??
‘It's all because of having a sinful father..’
Anyway, the urgent priority was to collect the minimum number of students by next week..
“Getting five people together might not be as easy as you think. Do you have a plan in mind??”
“No need to worry.”
“…….”
Mae Geuk-ryeom wanted to hear more details, but Baek Soo-ryong only smiled confidently..
“Okay. I get it.”
Since he said he would not get involved and it was too embarrassing to ask more, Mae Geuk-ryeom just drank his tea..
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong, who had finished drinking his tea, stood up..
“Grandfather. I'll just wake up now.”
“……Has it already been like this?.”
Mae Geuk-ryeom saw Baek Soo-ryong off to the door..
He hesitantly opened his mouth as he watched his grandson putting on his shoes..
“hmm. What if? Great, if you need my help... … . Hmmm.”
Mae Geuk-ryeom cleared his throat, unable to continue his conversation properly, and Baek Soo-ryong, who had finished putting on his shoes, turned around and bowed his head..
“I'll just leave work now..”
“……Don't be late tomorrow either.”
Seeing his grandson's back shrinking, Mae Geukryeom sighed softly..
“Goyan guy. You don't ask for help until the end..”
* * *
Baek Soo-ryong left Mae Geuk-ryeom's residence and headed straight to the Cheongryong Academy's academic affairs office..
“Five people? It's nothing.”
Baek Soo-ryong had confidence. And that confidence had ample grounds..
‘It's a much better situation compared to when I was in the blood religion..’
During his time as a blood religion instructor, Baek Soo-ryong rose from the bottom to the top..
There was no instructor to welcome him as he suddenly turned towards the instructor due to a broken danjeon..
-what? An idiot with a broken Danjeon teaches martial arts.?
-Hey newbie. Does the instructor look easy??
-I heard you were quite a promising figure when you were in the religious leader’s guard? Don't expect anything like that here..
Ignorance and ridicule were everyday occurrences, and even if I made the same mistake, I was criticized several times over. I was secretly ignored even by the students I was teaching..
So I tried my best.
I memorized all the martial arts books I could read and found the optimal training method by understanding not only the physical characteristics of each trainee but also their personality..
-crazy guy…….
-……Are you sleeping and working??
-I did this much alone?
The gaze of ridicule and disregard gradually changed to astonishment and admiration..
There were times when jealous instructors plotted against him and tried to frame him, but he always moved one step ahead, trapping and laughing at his opponents..
‘It was an exciting time where every day was like walking a tightrope..’
By the time the students he taught later became famous masters in martial arts, he was already called the best and worst instructor in the clan..
The reason he was able to meet four masters later was because his abilities were recognized..
“Compared to back then, it’s about this much.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and opened the door to the academic affairs office and entered. His steps were still light.
‘First, let’s check how many people have signed up for the course so far..’
That is, until I heard the story from the academic affairs office staff..
“Understanding Sapa martial arts and preparing for practice? wait a minute. I'll check it for you. The current number of students enrolled... … There is only one person.”
“……Eleven people.?”
“no. One person.”
The employee raised his right index finger upright and said, “Don’t misunderstand.”.
Baek Soo-ryong looked at her finger, which somehow looked like her middle finger, and asked back..
“……One person? There was only one student who signed up for the course in two days.?”
“yes. See for yourself.”
The Academic Affairs Office employee held out a document listing the course registration status..
The name <Wijicheon> was written straight at the top of the paper..
“Cheonah…….”
Baek Soo-ryong was slightly moved..
Because Wi Ji-cheon was already receiving teachings from him every day at Baekryongjang..
Still, the fact that you applied doesn't mean that you want to learn more from Cheongryong Academy?.
“wait for a sec. however…….”
On the other hand, I couldn't help but feel resentful toward the other guy who didn't sign up even though he was receiving the same lessons every day..
“Heonwon River, this bastard?”
I still don't dare to apply for a subject that is much weaker than Wijicheon.?
He was Baek Soo-ryong, who vowed to make the Heonwon River double its size when he got off work today..
Baek Soo-ryong looked back at the employee and smiled awkwardly..
“I'm sorry, but can you tell me how many people have applied for Sapa martial arts analysis and field training??”
“ah…….”
The employee, who blushed slightly at his smile, belatedly came to his senses and looked for the documents..
“It shouldn't work in the first place... … . You can't go anywhere and talk about it..”
She looked through the documents, then dared to come close to Baek Soo-ryong and whispered in his ear..
“Thirteen people signed up for that class..”
“……okay.”
There is only one person on this side, but on the other side, the number of people enrolled in the course exceeded twice the minimum in just two days..
‘Anyway, it's still strange.’
I did not initially expect the number of students to be similar..
Of course, it is normal for more people to flock in that direction..
But still, isn't it a bit strange that there is only one person?.
No matter how unpopular the subject may be, since it is a liberal arts subject, there must have been a few students who applied simply to fill the credits..
In other words, there was a smell of something being done over there..
“thank you.”
“What? If you have any questions, please come by anytime..”
An employee of the academic affairs office said calmly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear..
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong, who left the academic affairs office, thought for a moment and then turned around..
‘I guess I'll have to gather some more information first..’
Fortunately, Baek Soo-ryong knew a very good source of information within the academy..
……However, I had to prepare a lot mentally..
As Baek Su-ryong neared his destination, he took a deep breath and muttered..
“I really didn't want to meet that guy.…….”
Now is not the time to choose between means and methods..
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong entered the building with the sign saying <Cheongryong Academy Student Council> on the sign..
* * *
“It's because there was a bad rumor about you..”
A girl with a cold appearance, but her eyes glowed with strange heat..
Baek Soo-ryong asked, wary of the movements of the girl sitting across the table..
“Bad rumor? What is it specifically??”
“Before that… … As promised, please give me the hair first..”
A girl with unusual eyes, the party clearly demanded an advance payment..
Baek Soo-ryong pulled out a few strands of hair with an uncomfortable expression..
“for a moment. Please give me something thick and fresh..”
‘Why do you need fresh hair?…….’
Although Baek Soo-ryong was very suspicious and curious about its purpose, he did not dare to ask because he was not confident in receiving an answer..
“……here it is.”
“Huhuhu…….”
Tang Soso wrapped Baek Soo-ryong's hair in silk and placed it in his arms, then smiled..
“There are a lot of rumors that the teacher surprised Poong Jin-ho last night and beat him to death..”
“What kind of guy spread it? All Giru employees were banned from joining.…….”
“It's true?”
To Tang Soso who asked with brightly shining eyes, Baek Soo-ryong smiled and asked back..
“I'm the one who came to ask questions. That's all the rumors are going around?”
“There's more to it than that. That he went around hitting on female students at the school where he worked before, that he went around hitting on rich men, and that he learned the art of sex.…….”
“……How come they are all similar rumors?.”
“I don't believe it. I never think of you as that kind of person..”
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled with a dangerous, yet trust-filled expression in his eyes..
“If he was that kind of person, there's no way he wouldn't have caught me, right? I already watched the teacher’s every move.…….”
“stop. please stop.”
Baek Soo-ryong shuddered and asked another question..
“Anyway, it's just a rumor. Students avoid me just because of that? I didn't really feel that way until today.…….”
It was obvious who started that rumor..
Poong Jin-ho must have spread a rumor out of spite..
But in Baek Soo-ryong’s opinion, that wasn’t enough..
Sure enough.
“…… What is more important than the rumor is that you were taken by Teacher Poong. Teacher Poong also teaches several major major subjects. Besides, after that…….”
“There is Namgungsu?”
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded heavily..
“It's safe to say that at Cheongryong Academy, there are no students who are hated by teacher Namgung and who can receive proper grades. Teacher Poong is close to teacher Namgungsu. It's the same with other instructors..”
‘Actually, Poong Jin-ho is planning to kick out Namgung-su..’
Baek Soo-ryong lowered his head for a moment and was lost in thought..
How should I respond?.
Rumors have a way of countering bigger rumors..
You can create a conflict between Poong Jin-ho and Nam Gung-su, or you can secretly lay a trap and wait..
Or it could make the lecture itself impossible.…….
‘It won't be possible to use drastic methods like in the blood religion..’
After calmly organizing his thoughts, Baek Soo-ryong raised his head again and looked at Tang Xiaoso..
“Here, do you take requests??”
Tang Soso, who made eye contact with him, answered with shining eyes..
“As long as you pay the fee..”
