Chapter 166
##166fury. I thought it was somehow easy
“The first time the rumor started to spread was through the merchants of the Golden Dragon Merchants..”
Myeong Il-oh, whom I met after a long time, had a red face..
It was because I met the person responsible for the recent rumor that shook the entire city..
“Gold dragon top? What kind of rumor did you start to create this uproar??”
On the other hand, Baek Soo-ryong, the protagonist of the rumor who has not yet heard the true story, looked puzzled..
My ears were still ringing when I remembered the welcoming crowd that cheered me as if the city was about to leave..
If Myeong Il-oh, who had come to meet them in advance, had not come, the group would still have been surrounded by all kinds of people in the middle of the city..
Myung Il-oh spoke quickly with a flushed expression..
“There is a rumor that the older brother led his students into Akingok, cut off the head of Blood Beast Gwiong with a single sword, and slaughtered all the scattered madou of Akingok.!”
Baek Su-ryong was very burdened by Myung Il-oh's shining gaze..
“What is Ilgeom? I'm not some kind of teenage expert.”
“her! Anyway, it looks like your brother killed him. At first everyone dismissed it as nonsense.…….”
Myeong Il-oh's face as he looked at Baek Soo-ryong showed respect, envy, and pride as if it were his own work..
“The Golden Dragon Sangdan is not the end. While everyone was wondering if the rumor was true, the rumor was specifically spread through Hao Wen..”
“Until Haomun?”
Baek Soo-ryong made a bewildered expression at the names that came out one after another. Myung Il-oh nodded..
“yes. It was also known through Hao Wen that the Jeokho Ark who kidnapped Wei Ji-cheon was a martial arts warrior with white hair, and that he took the hostage while fighting with his brother and ran away..”
“That's also a little different from the truth.…….”
The white-haired demon beast did not run away from the white water dragon, but Haomun seemed to have packaged it that way..
So that when Baek Soo-ryong returns, public opinion will be in his favor..
‘The Golden Dragon Sangdan and Haomun. I got help I never expected..’
I never thought that my friendship with Jinlong Zhuangzhu and the old woman of Haomen would help me in this way..
But that wasn't the end.
“Crucially, Nam Goong-soo, who returned first, put a wedge in the rumor that everyone was skeptical about.!”
“What is Namgoongsu again??”
“He put his own honor on the line to confirm that he must have cut down the bloodthirsty monster..”
Baek Soo-ryong opened his mouth blankly when he heard that Nam Gung-su put his own reputation on the line..
I remembered Nam Goong-su's stern expression when he said he would never let him get fired..
“How much your child grinds his teeth…….”
“yes?”
“no, nothing.”
In any case, contrary to expectations, public opinion was positive..
From the time he entered the city all the way back to the Cheongryong Academic Center, Baek Soo-ryong heard people praising him as a hero and a great hero..
“But what really happened? I knew my brother was strong, but I didn't know he could beat the teenage villain. Now that I think about it, it seems like my prayers have changed.…….”
In fact, Baek Soo-ryong's prayer changed greatly, but Myeong Il-o lacked the insight to properly recognize it..
It was just something that seemed great due to the halo of rumors..
Baek Su-ryong chuckled and asked:.
“People tell me it's Blue Dragon Credit Union. Did I get a nickname??”
“yes. do you like it?”
Myung Il-oh nodded, smiling even more proudly..
It's called the Blue Dragon God Association..
It was still a title I liked more than the sleeping dragon I heard in Haomun before..
Baek Soo-ryong laughed and said.
“It's not bad.”
“Well, by the way…….”
Myeong-il-oh looked around and leaned in next to Baek Su-ryong. Then he lowered his voice and asked.
“What is the nickname Okmyeonumrang? Rumors about that also spread quietly. Brother, no way… … It's not like I went out and did something strange.?”
“……I want to die with Heonwon River?”
When Baek Soo-ryong raised his fist, Myeong Il-o flinched and took a step back..
Baek Soo-ryong sighed deeply..
Anyway, that bastard in Heonwon River was the problem..
“Anyway, I'm glad that public opinion isn't as bad as I thought. If I do this, I don’t have to worry about getting fired from the academy..”
“It's cut though. Didn’t you say earlier that the Murim Alliance would even give you a reward?.”
The two stopped by the Gangseo branch of the Murim Alliance and were now on their way to the Cheongryong Academic Center..
‘I didn't even have time to stop by the house and unpack..’
As soon as Baek Su-ryong entered the city, he received a call from the Murim Alliance. So the group was divided in the middle. Baek Soo-ryeong headed to the Gangseo branch of the Murim Alliance with Myeong Il-o, and Mae Geuk-ryeom took the students who were still injured to the Cheongryong Academic Center..
-Hahahaha! Blue Dragon Credit Union! Blue Dragon Credit Union! Your dad would be so proud!
At the Gangseo branch of the Murim League, Baek Soo-ryong met Go Ju-yeol, a non-respondent, for the first time in a long time. He embraced Baek Soo-ryong and rejoiced as if it were his own..
-You beat up a teenage villain! When on earth did martial arts become so advanced? Our water dragon! That's really awesome, Janghae.!
-Bae, uncle…….
Baek Soo-ryong was able to give a proper report only after being tormented by Go Ju-yeol more than once..
After the report was finally over, Go Ju-yeol handed over a letter, saying he almost forgot..
-right. Mu-heun happened to send a letter, but it seems he misunderstood that he was sending it to you and sent it to me..
-Are you my father? I'll read it later.
Baek Soo-ryong put the letter Baek Mu-heun sent into his arms without reading it. I didn't have time to read because I had a lot to worry about right now..
‘I guess it's just the kind of poetry I always send..’
With the letter in his arms, Baek Soo-ryong and Myeong Il-o were on their way to the Cheongryong Academy..
“The governor has called a general meeting.?”
“yes. He participated in the meeting of the five universities’ governors and returned yesterday. If I go now, I think I can be on time for the meeting..”
Myung Il-oh checked the time and said. The two people walked a little faster..
Baek Soo-ryong said with a slightly shocked expression..
“I will be broken by the governor.?”
“Maybe.”
Aside from going to Akingok and spreading the reputation of Cheongryong Academy, Baeksuryong also put students in danger..
It is said that Noh Gun-sang was always friendly toward Baek Soo-ryong, but he was not the kind of person who would overlook such a big mistake..
“Hey, the ball is this big, so what's the big deal? At most, you will have to submit a letter of resignation after a few months of salary reduction..”
“……It's not easy to say it's not your business..”
“Ah, indeed. There will also be a story related to Emperor Tianmu today..”
“emperor of heaven?”
‘Baek Soo-ryong stopped at the words ‘Thousand Emperor’ and looked back at Myeong Il-o..
“Didn't you know? At the beginning of each year, matters related to the Heavenly Wu Festival are decided at a meeting of the heads of the five universities. The regulations change slightly every year..”
“Hmm…….”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and was lost in thought..
If it was a story related to Emperor Tianwu, I had to hear it..
“Let's hurry and not be late.”
When the two entered the conference hall, most of the instructors had already gathered..
Everyone must have heard the rumor about Baeksu-ryong, and the glances they gave were very heated..
“Your face looks familiar.”
It had to be that way..
He went into the villain's valley with his students and came back after cutting down one of the teenage villains..
In the past ten years, it was the event that most significantly made the name of Cheongryong Academy known to Moorim..
The instructors’ perspectives on Baek Soo-ryong had no choice but to change..
“Hmm. Teacher Baek Soo-ryong.”
“Have a cup of tea later…….”
“There seems to have been a misunderstanding all this time..”
Even instructors who usually treated Baek Soo-ryong as someone who didn't exist started talking to him here and there..
“yes. Let’s have a cup of tea when we have time..”
It was time for Baek Soo-ryong to roughly deal with the approaching teachers..
A heavy wave of air was felt, and the eyes of everyone in the conference room turned to one place..
The head of the Cheongryonghak Museum, Noh Gunsang, appeared there..
“Heh heh. It seems like everyone has gathered.”
Noh Gun-sang smiled kindly and looked around at the lecturers gathered in the conference hall. His gaze finally stopped on Baek Soo-ryong..
At that moment, a strange look appeared in Noh Gunsang’s eyes..
‘Did you notice something??’
Baek Soo-ryong was a little nervous..
As he reached level 7, he became more adept at hiding his prayers, but if he was an expert at the level of Lu Jun-sang, he could feel that his prayers had changed..
Sure enough.
“Teacher Baek Soo-ryong.”
“……yes.”
Baek Soo-ryong answered politely and stood up..
Noh Gunsang looked at him and expressed a small admiration..
“It wasn't easy to believe the rumors going around the city, but it seems there was something going on. Congratulations on your great achievement!.”
“thank you.”
Indeed, the vision of the former Baekdae master was outstanding..
Noh Gun-sang noticed that Baek Su-ryong's martial arts skills had grown incomparably compared to before..
“But congratulations are congratulations, and you should be punished for your mistakes..”
Noh's expression turned stern. At the same time, the momentum changed completely. Noh Gun-sang spoke, radiating frost-like energy..
“No matter how good the results were, putting a student in danger was something a teacher at Blue Dragon School should not have done. If someone had been hurt or killed, there would have been no turning back..”
“I admit it. It was my mistake.”
“Salary cut for three months. Do you have any objection to this decision??”
“doesn't exist.”
It was a much lighter punishment than Baek Soo-ryong expected..
None of the students who went with him died or was maimed, and this was a result that took into account the fact that Cheongryong Academy's reputation in Akingok was greatly increased..
Baek Soo-ryong politely took the gun and said:.
“I will make sure this never happens again..”
Nodding his head, the solemn expression on his face relaxed. At the same time, the momentum changed as gently as the spring breeze..
‘It's a state where you can freely control your momentum at the same time as you set your mind to it..’
As the level of Reverse Heaven Shingong rises, the skills of an expert that I originally knew can be seen again..
While Baek Soo-ryong was inwardly admiring, No Gun-sang smiled softly and continued speaking..
“But, praise should be given to praise..”
“……yes?”
Noh Gun-sang turned his head from Baek Soo-ryong, who was asking with a puzzled expression, and looked around at the lecturers gathered in the conference room..
A voice full of energy filled the large conference room..
“Teacher Baek Soo-ryong raised the honor of our Cheongryong Academy by cutting down one of the ten villains in the Wicked Valley. The courage of the students who went with us also deserves praise. Accordingly, the directors are Geo Sang-woong, Heon Won-gang, Yeo-min, and Ya Su-hyeok. I have decided to give your student a basic grade..”
“Yeongdan…….”
Although it is called a basic type, it was an elixir given by the Murim Alliance to outstanding late-stage experts..
Students were able to gain considerable energy by consuming it..
‘It will all be of great help in our current state..’
Baek Soo-ryong quietly clenched his fists. But Roh's words are not over yet..
“The Yeongdan and Geumilbong will also be delivered to Mr. Baek. There will be separate rewards for the Murim Alliance..”
“thank you.”
The punishment was much weaker than Baek Soo-ryong thought, and the rewards were greater..
Some instructors seemed dissatisfied with that fact, but no one objected outright..
This is how the reward and punishment for the Akingok incident ended..
“Mr. Baek, let's talk more separately with me after the meeting is over..”
“yes.”
Nodding his head, Noh Gun-sang looked around at the instructors..
“Now let's get to the point. At the meeting of the five major governors, there are changes related to this year's Tianwu Festival. To conclude, the conditions for participating in the Cheonmu Festival have changed slightly starting this year..”
“yes?”
“The conditions for participation have changed.…….”
“I don't think it has much to do with our school anyway.…….”
It was a time when the instructors were noisy about the sudden news..
Cooung!
Noh Gun-sang, who stamped his feet to focus his attention, continued speaking..
“I'm not talking yet..”
“…….”
Everyone who was talking fell silent due to the enormous energy wave emitted by the statue of King Roh..
In a quiet atmosphere, the Prime Minister reported the matters decided at the meeting of the Five University Building..
“As the Emperor Tianwu becomes more violent as the years go by, there are not only injuries, but recently even deaths. Accordingly, the five governors put their heads together and tried to solve this problem. First, we identified the cause.”
“Due to the current trend of emphasizing only military achievements and the results of Emperor Wu of Heaven, we judged that liberal arts and character education for students was lacking..”
“Murimoh University Hall is an institution that nurtures the future of political factions. The opinions of the governors were unanimous that if they only emphasized military achievements too much, what would be the difference between them and the other factions? This is because the purpose of starting the Emperor of Heavenly Wu in the first place has become unclear..”
Some nodded as if they sympathized, while others frowned as if they did not understand..
Baek Su-ryong quietly listened to what the giant of the martial arts faction said..
“So.”
Noh paused for a moment and looked around..
Coincidentally, this time too, I made eye contact with Baek Su-ryong at the end..
Noh Gun-sang spoke emphatically..
“From this year on, you will no longer be able to participate in the Heavenly Wu Festival just because you are strong in martial arts. Participants will be selected through competition among students who have passed the general education evaluation, peer activity evaluation, and ethical evaluation, which have been neglected so far..”
Liberal Arts Assessment.
Student activity evaluation.
Negotiated evaluation.
Those three things were wandering around in Baek Su-ryong’s mind..
Will all the idiots at the Blue Dragon Academy be able to pass it??
‘I thought it was somehow easy…….’
Noh Gun-sang, who made eye contact with him, spoke with a stern expression..
“Your guidance will become even more important in the future, so I hope you will pay special attention in preparation for the upcoming Tianmu Emperor..”
