Chapter 168
##168fury. Are you here?
Baek Su-ryong drinks his glass! He put it down loudly and complained..
“Those kids sucked..”
It was a drinking party with classmates who joined Cheongryong Academy after a long time..
I sat down and drank with Akh Yeon-ho, Myeong Il-oh, and Zhuge So-young. As we talked, words about the recently changed regulations of the Heavenly Emperor and disciples naturally flowed out..
“Are kids that bad at studying??”
At the drinking party, Zhuge Soyoung, who was more lively than anyone else, asked while munching on her snacks..
Due to the hardships of school life and the only stigma attached to having a drink, she was gradually becoming a drinker..
“Geo Sang-woong and Yeo-min are at least a little better. Both of them are good at math and have a good head for studying..”
Baek Soo-ryong sighed and answered..
Two people with relatively low qualifications in martial arts were actually the best in terms of academic skills..
The problem was with the martial arts geniuses..
Baek Soo-ryong sighed and said, as if he was getting angry even thinking about it again..
“In particular, Heon Won-gang and Ya Su-hyuk don't know how clean their brains are. Ya Soo-hyuk, he doesn’t even know who Jang Sam-bong is.?”
“Wow, that was harsh..”
“How did you pass the entrance exam??”
“my words…….”
It was a problem that Baek Soo-ryong had never even thought about when he was an instructor of blood religion..
There, the trainee’s culture or personality were not important at all..
All he wanted was martial achievement, and he even preferred a simple and vicious personality..
‘Come to think of it, maybe that's why all the disciples are like that..’
Baek Soo-ryong looked bitter for a moment..
I fully understood the purpose of the changed Tianmu system regulations..
This was because I knew better than anyone else how extreme the heated competition can make warriors become..
“Ugh.”
Baek Su-ryong’s sigh deepened. Ak Yeon-ho asked while filling his glass with alcohol..
“Aside from those two, what about Wijicheon? He is sincere and I think he will do well in studies..”
“He's a problem too. Wijicheon…….”
Baek Soo-ryong thought for a moment about how to explain this..
“Should I say that the child is too pure?.”
Wi Ji-cheon was definitely a genius..
But that was limited to the ‘sword’..
When it comes to swords, he is so good that if you teach him one, he knows ten, but the rest is nothing more than a pure white sheet of paper..
“Since I was young, I have lived alone with my grandfather deep in the mountains, so I lack basic common sense. The concept of good and evil is also a bit blurry..”
In addition, the grandfather was the head of the eight major clans of the blood religion, and not long ago, he heard the voice of the assassin..
Perhaps the student who most needed this basic liberal arts education was Wi Ji-cheon..
“Heonwon River. Ya Soo-hyuk. Wijicheon. They say we need to teach the bare minimum of culture to these guys whose minds are blank... … oh my.”
As Baek Soo-ryong sighed, his classmates offered words of comfort..
“Don't worry too much. There's still quite a bit of time left..”
“I'm sure you'll do well this time too..”
Even the consolation from his classmates did not help Baek Soo-ryong much..
There are just over a month left until the midterm exams for the first semester..
Until then, we must teach students to a level where they can pass the general education test..
But looking at the current situation, three out of five were sure to fail..
furthermore…….
Baek Soo-ryong used the alcohol to confess honestly to his classmates..
“Everyone will be surprised... … . There's at least one thing I'm not good at.”
““yes?””
Ignoring everyone's puzzled expressions, Baek Soo-ryong stared at his glass and spoke seriously..
“It's martial arts etiquette and norms. I'm also really bad at things like this..”
Baek Soo-ryong’s martial arts knowledge was truly vast..
It is no exaggeration to say that I have most of the martial arts skills of the blood religion in my head..
In addition, he was able to teach most of the skills necessary for martial arts, such as Jinbeop, Poison, Hyeoldo, and Arm techniques..
However, to him, who was from Sapa, the etiquette and liberal arts classes of the political school based on benevolence, courtesy and wisdom were very unfamiliar..
I can imitate it to a reasonable degree, but I was never at the level of teaching it to anyone..
Baek Soo-ryong said with a bitter expression..
“…… Everyone must have been surprised. I was surprised too. I never thought there was something I couldn’t teach. It was a shock. You're probably more shocked than me. But I can't lie, so I'm being honest..”
Baek Soo-ryong spoke with a serious expression and emptied his drink in one go. The sad eyes and long fingers were truly a painting..
But there was no one here who could fall for that picture..
“Wow, that's really unlucky.…….”
“oh my god. The drunk is showing off.?”
“If you look closely, this brother is the biggest problem..”
Seeing that his facial expression didn't change at all and he appeared to be humble but ultimately showed off, all of his fellow employees looked like they were sick of it..
“What am I? Is it wrong to be honest? It's okay if a warrior fights well, culture is nonsense. If you have culture, will you avoid the sword??”
While Baek Soo-ryong was grumbling dissatisfied, Myeong Il-o made a suggestion..
“older brother. Instead of trying to teach everything on your own, how about leaving the theory and culture to others??”
“other people?”
“Brother, don’t you have enough time to watch over your students’ martial arts skills??”
“……That's right.”
You have to take existing classes and continue to watch the martial arts of Baekryongjang’s students. At the same time, you have to visit Gaengsaengmun often and keep in touch with Akingok on a regular basis..
To exaggerate a bit, Baek Soo-ryong was currently short of three bodies..
“But to whom?”
“That should be left to good teachers. For example, isn't Zhuge Xiaoze here a specialist in the subject of Wulin history??”
“Me, me?”
Zhuge Xiaoying looked embarrassed when he was suddenly singled out. But he soon nodded with a solemn expression..
“I can make time for about half an hour a day. Because it's such a shame that those kids can't go to the Heavenly Wu Festival..”
This time, Myeong Il-oh wrapped his arm around Akh Yeon-ho's shoulder..
“Yeonho here knows culture such as Sega’s etiquette well..”
“It's crispy. I learned this by being caned since I was young..”
“And I am very interested in the geography and various rumors of Moorim..”
Ak Yeon-ho and Myeong Il-oh also stepped forward to help..
Baek Soo-ryong felt his heart sink a little..
But there was still one problem left..
“But those kids. When I start class, I can't concentrate at all. It's not like that when I'm practicing martial arts, but my concentration is very low in theory classes..”
“To what extent??”
“Earlier, Wongang was so sleepy that I hung him upside down from the ceiling and taught him, but he still dozed off..”
“yes?”
Three people gaped at Baek Soo-ryong’s words..
“First of all, the most important thing is to increase your motivation to study..”
“Umm…….”
“Is there no way?…….”
Four instructors put their heads together and thought of a way to make students study.
“How about trying this??”
The person who gave the opinion was Zhuge Xiaoying..
“First, the teachers take turns tutoring students on areas they are lacking, and in the evenings, they hold study groups and have students review..”
“study group?”
As a bright student who recently graduated from the academy, she also knew best how to inspire students to study..
“Studying with peers is very helpful. You can also get help from friends who are good at studying..”
“Hoo…….”
“It would be nice to have a student around me who has the etiquette of a prestigious political school ingrained in me and has a strong sense of responsibility to help me study.…….”
There was one name that popped into my head. Baek Soo-ryong slapped his knee and said.
“I know a student like that.”
* * *
“shit. I have no idea what you're talking about.”
“Don't fuss and focus..”
widely!
Dokgojun closed the book loudly and looked at Heonwongang sitting in front of him..
“If you don't know something, it's better to ask.”
Heon Won-gang, who was reading a book with his head covered, raised his head and looked at Dok Go-jun. He said with a frown..
“why? what? One fight?”
“……Again, I'm not studying with you because I like it..”
Dok Go-jun shook his head and tried to focus on his studies again..
……There was no way I could concentrate.
This is because the Heonwon River continued to rumble next to it..
Dok Go-jun sighed softly and said..
“Heonwon River. Your participation in the Cheonmu Festival is very welcome from the student council perspective. That's why I agreed when Teacher Baek Soo-ryong asked me to join a study group. Ya Soo-hyuk. Same goes for you. Among first graders, I have high expectations for you..”
“……Hmm? You could have called me?”
Ya Su-hyuk, who was dozing off next to the Heonwon River, half-opened his eyes. Saliva was flowing from the corner of my mouth..
“Hmm.”
“…….”
Dok Go-jun sighed a little at the sight of the two idiots who had been building a wall between their studies and their whole lives..
Heonwongang snorted and said..
“Of course I should welcome it. Because this body will win this year’s Yongbongbimu..”
“I want to tell you to wake up, but I don't think that's even necessary..”
“what?”
“With your current state of mind, you wouldn't even be able to dream that dream..”
“This bastard…….”
Heonwon-gang, moved to tears by the merciless harsh words, glared at Dokgo-jun..
Dok Go-jun also did not avoid that gaze..
Two people who had a snowball fight for a while.
In the end, it was Heonwon River who averted his gaze first..
“……shit. You can do it, right? I don't want to be banned from the Emperor of Heaven because of this embarrassing reason..”
Heon Wongang had a reason to go to Cheonmuje..
Heonwongang said, rubbing his bloodshot eyes with the back of his hand..
“In Yongbongbimu, Paeng Sa-hyuk, that bastard must be beaten..”
“The motive is impure... … . Anyway, it's not like I don't have the will..”
Dok Go-jun sighed and put down his studies and moved to the seat next to Heonwon Lecturer..
“If you don't know something, ask.”
“Then tell me this.”
Heon Won-gang gently pushed the problem he was solving to Dok Go-jun. At the same time, I woke up Ya Su-hyuk, who was next to me, by hitting the back of his head..
“Wake up and listen together, you little bastard.!”
“Ugh… … . Senior. Please teach me too.”
Ya Su-hyeok shook his head with sleepy eyes and slapped his cheeks several times with both palms to drive away the sleep..
‘They both try their best..’
where is that.
Dok Go-jun confirmed the problem raised by Heonwon-gang..
It was a very simple matter for him..
“It's a theory that interprets the shaman's seasons as yin-yang and the five elements. What you must keep in mind here is…….”
Dok Go-jun sincerely explained what he knew to the two students..
Easy and simple enough for even a child to understand.
It was not a difficult task for the student council president who was excellent at both practical and theoretical skills..
However, Heon Won-gang and Ya Su-hyeok were powerful enemies that Dok Go-jun had never faced before..
“……Kuul…….”
“Grumbling…….”
“Heonwon River! Ya Soo-hyuk! You damn bastards!”
The student council president's shout echoed loudly throughout the room..
* * *
Across the table, an old man with white hair and a young boy sat across from each other..
“Teacher Baek specifically asked me to teach you..”
“yes.”
They were Mae Geuk-ryeom and Wi Ji-cheon..
Mae Geuk-ryeom said after picking up the tea and taking a sip..
“Come see me at this time every day. I will teach you the etiquette of a swordsman one day at a time..”
“yes.”
Although the two had nothing in common, they had an oddly similar vibe..
Is it because of the sword neatly placed on my lap?.
Wi Ji-cheon carefully opened the door..
“I live in the mountains with my grandfather, so I don't know much about manners. Please forgive me if there are many things I don’t know..”
“You just have to learn what you don't know. Ignorance is not wrong. Knowingly doing something wrong is wrong..”
“……yes.”
Wi Ji-cheon is very shy, but when he is with Mae Geuk-ryeom, he somehow feels at ease..
It's like looking at a well-forged sword..
It was the same with Maegeukryeom..
“I will explain everything to you using a sword as an example. I think it would be comfortable for you and me too..”
Wei Ji-cheon’s expression suddenly brightened at Mae Geuk-ryeom’s words..
“yes thank you!”
“Nothing to like. Learning from me will never be easy.”
“lol…….”
“Don't laugh foolishly.”
“yes yes!”
An old man who devoted his entire life to the sword and a boy who lost his heart to the sword..
The two talked slowly.
* * *
“phew. For now, I took a breather..”
Baek Soo-ryong, who secretly watched his students studying, breathed a sigh of relief..
After much deliberation, Heon Won-gang and Ya Su-hyeok asked Dok Go-jun to do the rest of their studies, and Wi Ji-cheon entrusted Mae Geuk-ryeom to study the basics..
Geo Sang-woong and Yeo-min had nothing to worry about as they thought they could pass with just a little study. The two decided to focus more on martial arts..
‘I think this is how you prepare for the liberal arts test... … The problem is the evaluation of student activities..’
The peer activity evaluation was a comprehensive evaluation of a student's personality based on their usual class attitude, school activities, club activities, etc..
Therefore, it was said that the evaluation would look at the academic records, or ‘life records’ for short..
I sighed naturally.
“There's no way those idiots' birth records are in order..”
So I was looking for an expert in this field..
A legendary figure who employed the largest number of students in the history of Cheongryong Academic Hall at large universities and offices..
When Baek Soo-ryong opened the door and entered, he jumped up from his seat..
“……Are you here?.”
Feng Jin-ho looked at Baek Su-ryong and lowered his head. He looked very frightened..
