Chapter 16
##16fury. Magic map
Ak Yeon-ho was a weak drinker..
It was so absurdly weak..
“Hehehe. He’s my brother… … . Just one more drink…….”
“What the hell is this guy doing?.”
I carried Ak Yeon-ho, who was half drunk, and went up to the guest room..
Since he didn't book a room in advance, I went to my room first..
I even paid for the drink I just drank..
I threw it away without even having a few drinks, so it didn't last long.…….
“Mmmnyaaa…….”
“I really.”
When I put him down on the bed, I burst out laughing out of embarrassment..
A face so handsome that several women looked at me with envy as I came to the room..
But the reason I'm staring at Akh Yeon-ho right now wasn't because of his handsome face..
‘It is said that a martial artist drinks to the point of losing his mind in front of a stranger.?’
No, even if you are not a martial artist, does it make sense for you to drink to the point of passing out when you meet for the first time?.
Suddenly I had a suspicion.
This guy is either trying to test me, or he must be the biggest brat in the world..
‘Check which one it is?’
After thinking about it for a while, I quit. Because there’s nothing good about being hated by a rich kid..
I was slowly coming to my senses..
“Okay…….”
It's quick to get drunk, but it's also surprisingly fast to sober up. This is because metabolism is smooth thanks to being a peak expert..
“Are you awake??”
Ak Yeon-ho raised his upper body from the bed, covering his head with both hands..
“Okay. It was my first time drinking in a long time, so I was excited and drank too much. Is this why your father told you not to drink when you go out to the river?…….”
It's not my place to say this, but you should listen to your father..
“Why do you drink so much when you can’t? Either use your inner strength to drive out Judok from the beginning..”
Usually, once you reach the point where you are a master at peak, you can get drunk on most alcohol if you put your mind to it..
Even if you get drunk, you can easily drive out the drunk using your internal energy..
He laughed bitterly at my words. It was a smile that would make a woman's heart flutter..
“Why drink alcohol if you're going to drive it out with inner strength? I drink it to get drunk..”
“What the hell. So the warrior drank to the point where he couldn't stand his body.?”
“I didn't know I could get that drunk either. This is my first drink in several years..”
“I'm proud.”
Ak Yeon-ho smiled slyly and continued speaking..
“And because my brother is handsome, the alcohol tastes even better. After all, the better the picture is, the better the drink tastes… … . Just kidding! Just kidding! If I go out like that, I'll become a really strange person.!”
When I tried to sneak out, Ak Yeon-ho waved his hand..
“Don't let me tell any jokes. Anyway, my father was very strict, so I barely drank alcohol at home until I was this age. I thought the number of people drinking increased because of the increase in martial arts skills.…….”
This guy.
He looked like a nobleman who made many women cry, but he had a surprisingly innocent side..
This is evident from the fact that I scolded the fat guy earlier..
It may have been cool to look at, but it made an enemy in Wulin for no reason..
Moorim is a place where grace is unknown but resentment is never forgotten..
‘Those guys are dirty after all. It would be better to just kill them cleanly.…….’
Perhaps because I come from a blood religion, I couldn't understand how the political factions were generous to their opponents..
If you're worried about your surroundings, the industry's way is to quietly chase them down and kill them in a place where no one is around, or at least turn them into half-assholes so they can't use martial arts again..
Ak Yeon-ho took out a thick backpack from his arms and shook it..
“older brother. Would you like another drink? This time, I will really buy it..”
“Order a moderate amount of alcohol and plenty of snacks..”
Well, it's none of my business whether this guy makes enemies or not, so let's pay attention..
We ordered drinks and snacks in our room and we drank them..
“Haha! It tastes like this!”
If you sip as much as an ant's tears and just listen to the words, there is no such thing as a large stock price..
“Anyway, my father. Because you are too obsessed with your children.!”
“hmm? I know a father like that too..”
While we were talking, I got hit in a strange place..
We started a conversation by looking at my father's misfortune together..
“My father had been giving me all kinds of elixirs since I was young, and as a side effect, I couldn't even drink alcohol..”
“My father secretly follows me when I go out. A long time ago, I fainted while pooping and fell out or something..”
“Ah, my brother drinks, that’s a bit much.…….”
“what?”
“……Anyway, when I was young, my father didn’t let me make friends. They told me to learn martial arts properly from the start..”
“They say I almost died several times while secretly trying to learn strange martial arts..”
“What does it mean to say that you did it, or that you did it? You talk like it's someone else's story..”
“hmm. I did it.”
“…… You're a strange brother. Anyway, I'm quite talented in martial arts, right? I like it too. And I don't really like going out of the house. So, I studied martial arts diligently as instructed and became a top expert.…….”
At some point, I just grabbed some snacks and left him to talk..
taang!
Ak Yeon-ho suddenly hit the table and shouted with an angry face..
“Indeed! Now you're telling me to get married quickly just because I'm full of energy! Why do you get married alone? You have to have a partner! I know what you mean when you say that.?”
“What are you saying?.”
He didn't care about my half-hearted answer and spoke passionately..
“Well, why don't you kick your partner out of the house and tell him to find it on his own?!”
“……Is that really why you came to Kangho? For the first time at that age?”
“Yeah, whatever. That's right.”
It can't be this insignificant.
This is the most trivial reason I've ever heard of..
‘He's a weird guy after all.’
I suddenly had a curious thought and asked.
“But I think a younger brother would be lining up for a marriage partner. You have a good family name and a handsome face..”
When Ak Yeon-ho was told that he was handsome, he blushed and waved his hand..
“Oh, not really. My father is such a scary person... … Well, I kind of.”
When I wondered what he was going to say, he scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed and laughed..
“Because the snow is quite high. lol.”
“What are you doing?.”
I smiled and sipped my drink..
As I continued to listen to Akh Yeon-ho's father's story, my father's face naturally came to mind too..
“It's the opposite for me. My father was very opposed to me leaving home. Since I was young, my body was a bit weak..”
“Well, if you look at it, it looks as weak as a white paperback.…….”
“Is that an insult??”
“……You might be surprised, but you're actually a great expert, right? That's right?”
“think what you want.”
Go Sora.
Since I wouldn't feel any inner strength at all, it wasn't unreasonable for Ak Yeon-ho to misunderstand it like that..
But in reality, I had very little inner strength..
Although I achieved 1 star of Reverse Heaven Shingong and laid the foundation for the Danjeon, it was not much different from not having a Danjeon..
Because even though I have it, I can’t use it.
‘If you want to use your energy without side effects... … I need to get at least 3 stars.’
In order to treat the perianth syllable vein and raise the level of Reverse Heavenly Demonic Gong, numerous elixirs and great methods are still needed..
That means you have to make money..
When I remembered that amount again, I sighed softly..
“why are you sighing?”
“just. But where is your younger brother’s destination??”
“Cheongryong Academic Center.”
My expression hardened slightly..
no way…….
It only takes a few days to go from here to Namchang, where the Cheongryong Academic Museum is located..
I asked with the feeling that it might not be me..
“Coincidentally, I’m also going to the Cheongryong Academic Center. But it's not like you're going to school at your younger brother's age..”
“It's the same for you too. uh? no way……!”
And we shouted at the same time.
“You also want to take the entrance exam?”
“My brother is trying to seduce a girl too.?”
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?.
When I narrowed my eyes and looked at him, Yeonho cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed and said quietly..
“Huh. I am also going to take the entrance exam. I am planning to apply for recruitment of new instructors at Cheongryong Academic Center this year..”
I heard you got angry at the fat guy's words earlier, so there was a reason for that..
“What does it mean to go out to seduce women??”
“yes? Me? When??”
It's too late to act like a fool.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him, and suddenly a thought occurred to me, so I pulled out my sword and aimed it at him..
“You can't believe the students at the academy... … . This isn't really a scam?”
“Snoring! What does that mean? It's absolutely not like that.!”
“shut up! I have to cut off your sheep immediately and save the girls of Murim.!”
“Oh, it's not really true!”
Ak Yeon-ho had to explain to me for a while longer..
Still, I couldn't change my skeptical gaze..
“So, your father told you not to even think about coming home until you bring the right fiancé? So, I go to the academy to find a good companion.?”
“yes!”
“Why is it Cheongryong Academy??”
“My ideal type has always been someone elegant and intelligent..”
I smiled and scratched my cheek as if I was embarrassed..
The reaction didn't seem like a lie, so I took the sword for now..
“What is the purpose of you going to work for the company??”
I was able to answer confidently.
“I'm going to make money. My goal is to become a one-time instructor and save money..”
“You're a snob.”
“You take good care of your sheep. If you touch them, I'll cut you off on the spot..”
“Oh, it's not really true!”
The drinks started flowing and the night deepened..
We decided to accompany each other until we arrived at Nanchang, where the Cheongryong Academic Museum is located..
It's like going with a competitor.…….
‘There won't be more than one or two applicants anyway..’
More important were the travel expenses and the meat side dishes that would be served with each meal..
I don't think the route will be boring if I go with this guy..
“haha. From now on, if I go out with Baek hyung, women will be lining up.!”
……It'll be really okay?
* * *
A few days later, we arrived in Nanchang..
“Uncle!”
“Water dragon. It's been a while.”
The man who greeted me with a wide smile was Go Ju-yeol, a non-respondent..
Nanchang is the largest city in Gangseo, and both the Gangseo branch of the Murim League and the Cheongryong Academic Center were located here..
The reason I came to Go Ju-yeol first was because I had something to receive from him..
“The news of his arrival was relayed to Muheun through a communication. I even wrote a letter of recommendation for you in advance like this..”
“thank you.”
Go Joo-yeol looked much more tired than a few months ago..
I took care of the letter of recommendation he wrote..
Go Ju-yeol looked at me happily. He took some time out of his busy schedule to come out to see me..
“It seems like your complexion has improved. Is the young man next to you a friend??”
“yes. This is a friend I made while coming..”
“My name is Ak Yeon-ho, a first time Kang-ho..”
“Are you a descendant of Shandong Music??”
We talked for a while. Go Ju-yeol said he had a lot of work to do recently so he had to go quickly..
He tapped me on the shoulder and said.
“A letter of recommendation is just a letter of recommendation. Probably all applicants have it. I'm sorry, but I'm a bit clueless among them..”
“Thank you for writing this. I have to solve the rest with my own abilities..”
Martial arts is not the only criterion for selecting new instructors..
Origin, background, experience, interview results, etc. are all included..
Go Ju-yeol hinted that the competition rate will be quite high this year..
“okay. I believe. I'd like to talk more, but I'm busy so I guess I'll just have to go. I'm very hectic these days.”
“You seem to be very busy.?”
“Always busy. All kinds of things are always happening in Moorim, there are not many people working, and Wolbong is only a small thing... … Hmmm.”
Go Ju-yeol cleared his throat, probably thinking he didn't have anything to say to us..
“Anyway, that's it. I want to feed you something to send you away.…….”
“don't mind.”
“Let’s drink congratulatory wine next time. Oh, I hope you stick too..”
“yes! thank you!”
Go Ju-yeol got up from his seat, and we bowed our heads..
However, Go Ju-yeol, who had been walking a few steps, turned around and came back to us..
“There is one way to get a big score in an interview... … . Water dragon. Are you not going to do any work??”
“yes? Work?”
“that is…….”
Go Joo-yeol hesitated with an expression of deep concern, and then cautiously opened his mouth..
“Recently, there was an incident where a civilian was killed by a martial artist..”
“……!!”
Unlike Ak Yeon-ho, who was surprised next to me, I wasn't that surprised..
It was a common occurrence in Sapa for civilians to be killed by unmanned soldiers..
But as if that wasn't all, Go Joo-yeol looked around and lowered his voice..
“But that martial arts… … It might be magic.”
“……yes?”
This surprised me too.
