When Goatbeard revealed his identity, everyone except Baeksu-ryong and Namgung-su opened their eyes wide..
“Yes?”
“They say Namgung Se is the person.?”
“But why are you doing this?…….”
Everyone looked very surprised..
Goatbeard, who seemed like a frivolous opportunist, was actually a member of Cheonyidang, the intelligence organization of the Namgung family..
If he's a vice-owner, isn't he at the level of an executive??
Namgung Myeong-jin said as he took the sword with moderation..
“First of all, let me apologize..”
His face didn't change, but his tone of voice and gestures changed, and I could feel the dignity of a famous martial artist from him..
“What instructor Baek Soo-ryong said is correct. I deliberately approached the instructors at Cheongryong Academy to stimulate them..”
“why do you do that…….”
“Has training for new instructors already begun as Brother Su-ryong said??”
“Well, it’s not like someone has already fallen.?”
The four new instructors straightened their postures and looked at Namgung Myeong-jin..
In hindsight, they seemed anxious to see if they had made any mistake..
Namgung Myeong-jin shook his head as if to reassure himself..
“New instructor training will begin two days later as scheduled. The reason I approached you while hiding my identity was to observe you and post a report on what kind of training should be provided during the training..”
““Phew…….””
The four people sighed in relief at the same time. Namgung Myeong-jin smiled softly and continued speaking..
“However, instructor Baek Soo-ryong discovered my identity, so the plan went a bit awry..”
“Is it because of me that the contents of the report became poor??”
Namgung Myeong-jin shook his head in response to Baek Soo-ryong’s question..
“Not really. Finding out our approach is also within the scope of our predictions. Rather, I think the report will be richer..”
“It sounds like I'm not the first person to notice Cheon Yi-dang's approach..”
“you're right. Among the instructors who came first, quite a few noticed our approach..”
Namgung Myeong-jin said it was no big deal that Baek Soo-ryong found out about his identity, but in fact, only a few new instructors noticed Cheon Yi-dang's approach..
‘I scolded my subordinates whose identities were discovered like that, but I never thought I would be found out.…….’
He was confident in his roleplaying and acting, but Baek Soo-ryong saw right through him at a glance..
Moreover, Baek Soo-ryong was the only person who specifically mentioned Cheon Yi-dang..
As the deputy head of Cheonyidang, my pride is a little hurt..
However, rather than feeling bad, Namgung Myeong-jin became more interested in the character Baek Soo-ryong..
‘Blue Dragon Credit Union. They said he was a person of interest.…….’
I have already confirmed with my own eyes that Baek Soo-ryong's martial prowess may be more than just a rumor..
Moreover, none of the new instructors who came with him seemed low level..
‘The Blue Dragon Museum may really be the protagonist of something surprising..’
Of course, it is not a hasty decision just yet..
There is no one who has achieved as much fame as the Blue Dragon Credit Union, but among the new instructors at Odaegwan this year, there were many outstanding ones..
It was then.
“I didn't know it was someone from the original family..”
Namgung Myeong-jin woke up from a brief thought and stood up..
And he politely took a gun at Namgungsu, who was looking at him blankly..
“3 Meet Confucius. Please forgive me for not being polite in advance due to my duties..”
“It's okay. It was something that could not be avoided.”
Namgungsu nodded indifferently and sipped from his teacup..
Seeing that there was no movement on his face, it seemed like Namgungsu had already figured out his identity..
‘if…….’
Namgung Myeong-jin suddenly had a suspicion..
In order to raise the reputation of the Blue Dragon Academy, is it possible that Nam Gung-su told Baek Su-ryong about the information he discovered??
There are many cases where martial arts skills are strong at a young age, but being sharp enough to recognize oneself in disguise is a skill that comes with experience and experience..
‘I heard that the Three Confucius insisted on allowing the Blue Dragon Academy to participate in this training as well..’
Namgung Myeong-jin was the type of person who couldn’t bear to be curious..
He immediately sent a message to Namgungsu to see his reaction..
[Did the Three Confucius say something to instructor Baek Soo-ryong??]
It was an impertinent question to ask a direct descendant of the Namgung family..
However, Namgung Myeong-jin was the deputy head of Cheonyidang, the information organization of the Namgung family, and although a collateral relative, he was also a blood relative of the Namgung family..
Even though he was a direct descendant, he was a person in a position to ask questions like this to Namgungsu, who was an illegitimate daughter and had no chance of becoming a successor..
[……Are you insulting me now??]
[I would appreciate it if you could be honest with me. Training for new instructors at our home school is a very important event..]
Namgungsu clicked his tongue as if it was absurd and then answered..
[Baek Soo-ryong probably knew your identity before me..]
[……yes?]
[He's an incredibly fast guy with a sense of humor. So don't touch him clumsily. Because I don’t want to see my family’s blood relatives humiliated..]
“!!”
Namgung Myeong-jin was surprised by the answer..
Namgungsu was as proud as his two older brothers..
Namgungsu just admitted that Baek Soo-ryong's sharp sense of sight is better than his own..
[I am only here as a lead instructor, and I will not provide any benefits to new instructors at Cheongryong Academy..]
[……I'll keep that in mind.]
While the two were sharing a message, the new instructors were quietly watching them..
Namgung Myeong-jin, who finished the transmission, smiled calmly and said to Namgung-su..
“But you're late.”
“I arrived just in time for the date..”
“It usually comes a few days early. You never know what might happen on the way. All other new instructors have already arrived at their hometowns. You are the last.”
Hearing that it was the last time, Zhuge Xiaoying tilted his head and asked..
“Those Suzaku Academy instructors from earlier were…….”
“They will be left behind. Because it tarnished the reputation of Suzaku Academy in front of many onlookers. And there are many new instructors at Suzaku Academy to replace them. Everyone arrived first.”
“…….”
While the new instructors were silent, Namgung Myeong-jin stood up..
“It's late. Sleep well today. Starting tomorrow, I will take you to your home in comfort..”
“Is this how you normally do it??”
Baek Su-ryong asked. Namgung Myeong-jin answered with a grin..
“This is a special benefit only for those who know who we are. Well then, that's it.”
Namgung Myeong-jin politely took the gun and then came out..
Returning to his room, he summarized the information he had gained from directly observing and experiencing the Cheongryong Academy instructors..
‘I thought only Blue Dragon Credit Union was a person of interest.…….’
Ae Yeon-ho and Zhuge So-young seemed to be at a level capable of teaching students no matter which of the five university halls they went to, and Myeong Il-oh and Kwak Du-yong were not too bad either..
I never would have guessed that the level of Cheongryong Academic Hall, which is said to be the lowest among the five university halls, is this high..
‘Of course, the person you need to pay the most attention to is Blue Dragon Credit Union..’
I never understood the extent of inaction..
Not only that, he has a keen eye for insight that is better than that of Namgoongsu, a lecturer, and he knows how to turn public opinion on his side..
Namgung Myeong-jin recalled Baek Soo-ryong's fleeting smile when he was arguing with the instructors at Suzaku Academy..
‘If you summarize it. I knew that I was a member of the Cheonyi Party, and I waited until the instructors at Suzaku Academy started arguing with me before I came out. In other words, it does not mean that he cannot endure injustice. hmm? for a moment…….’
The moment he thought about this, a creepy assumption came into Namgung Myeong-jin’s mind..
‘no way…….’
Did the new instructors at Suzaku Academy use themselves to create a cause for controversy??
‘To create a situation where Suzaku Hakkwan is defeated in front of onlookers.?’
Chicken skin grew on my forearms. Namgung Myeong-jin rubbed his forearm and looked back at the room he had just left..
‘White Water Dragon. He has deep martial arts skills, but he also has a deep heart. There was a reason why the Taesang family told me to take a close look..’
In fact, Namgung Myeong-jin received a secret order to closely examine the Blue Dragon Credit Union separately..
The person who gave the order was Namgung Jehak, the previous head of the Namgung family and the Changcheon Sword King..
-You will personally check on that child and report to me separately..
-honorary name!
I don't know the exact reason, but Namgung Jehak was showing considerable interest in Baeksu-ryong..
Seeing it with my own eyes, it wasn't something I couldn't understand..
‘I'll watch your every move while you're with me at your home..’
Namgung Myeong-jin’s eyes sank coldly..
The next day, the group set out with Namgung Myeong-jin, who was hiding Gguk-kkung-i..
* * *
Namgung Myeong-jin was a good guide..
During the two days heading to Namgung House, the group was able to hear many stories from him..
As a member of an intelligence group, Namgung Myeong-jin knew a lot and spoke coherently..
Thanks to this, the road wasn't boring at all..
“The training for new instructors, which lasts seven days and nights (one week), is largely divided into theory and practice..”
“Theoretical education will mainly involve learning teaching methods. There are several lectures, so you can listen to whatever you want..”
“For practical training, we will all gather together to engage in essay writing, sparring, and mock battles. You'll probably find it quite interesting. Except for Cheonmu, this training event is the only event where all the instructors from the five universities gather together..”
Namgung Myeong-jin answered any questions, whether it was because he was originally friendly or because Baek Soo-ryong revealed his true identity..
“How are grades calculated during the training period??”
In response to Ak Yeon-ho’s question, Namgung Myeong-jin said with a proud smile:.
“Grading is done by experts from the original family who have worked as instructors at Odaegwan for more than ten years. We disclose the standards transparently, so you don’t have to worry about any disadvantages..”
“Oho…….”
“I heard that this year, a special prize will be given to the instructor who achieved the best results during the training period..”
“It's a product?”
The eyes of all new instructors sparkled when they heard that it was a great product..
Namgung Myeong-jin, who enjoyed their gaze for a moment, smiled and continued speaking..
“That is, you can learn any one of the martial arts of the Namgung family that you want. In addition, I heard that the head of the Taesang family, King Changcheon Geom, will personally teach..”
Everyone's eyes widened at the unimaginable reward..
“Yes?”
“The martial arts of the Namgung family.?”
“Cha, are you saying that the Changcheon Sword King himself gives guidance??”
Namgung Jehak, the Changcheon Sword King, was one of the top ten masters in the current martial arts world..
Learn one of the martial arts of the Namgung family and receive direct instruction from the Changcheon Sword King..
For the warriors, it was nothing short of heavenly luck..
“Of course, Changgung Muae Sword Technique and Emperor Sword Style are excluded. It is a martial art that only the direct descendants of the Namgung family can learn..”
“Those two don't even dream..”
“There are many other Shingongjeolhaks in the Namgung family.?”
“oh my god. Can you choose one of them and learn it?…….”
“Even receiving guidance from the Changcheon Sword King.!”
The new instructors were all excited and spoke out loud..
Namgung Myeong-jin watched their reactions with a proud smile, and frowned slightly when he saw Baek Soo-ryong, who was alone and unimpressed..
‘Maybe you don’t like the product??’
Baek Soo-ryong's eyes lit up when he heard that it was a product, but the moment he heard that it was martial arts and martial arts instruction, he immediately turned sour..
Namgung Myeong-jin asked as he drove his horse next to Baek Soo-ryong..
“Baek Soo-ryong, instructor, are you not very interested in the product??”
“I already have a lot of martial arts skills. I think it would have been better if I had given it in money..”
“Is that so? ha ha ha…….”
Although he was smiling on the outside, Namgung Myeong-jin was filled with heat on the inside..
‘Such cockiness!’
Comparing the Namgung family's Shingongjeolhak to money?!
However, Namgung Myeong-jin was an expert at managing facial expressions while working in an intelligence organization. He said with a smile, hiding his true feelings..
“There are so many martial artists in my family that I can't count them on both hands. Among them, there will definitely be a martial art that the instructor wants..”
“well. There really isn't anything I want to learn.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong was lost in thought for a moment, his words slurred. His gaze glanced towards Namgungsu, who was silently driving his horse in front of him..
“……Now that I think about it, there is one martial arts of the Namgung family that I would like to read about..”
“haha. Isn’t that true too? With Teacher Baek Soo-ryong's skills, you will be able to aim for the prize..”
It was a compliment meant to lift the spirits, but Baek Soo-ryong simply nodded..
“yes. Even if there was no compensation, I was planning on taking top honors. I have to take care of the goods as well..”
“haha. Is that so?…….”
One of the things that Namgung Myung-jin learned while hanging out with Baek Soo-ryong for two days was that he was a person overflowing with confidence to the point of obnoxiousness..
‘That's right. Since he has that level of skill, I can't say anything about it..’
Looking around, the other new instructors seemed to be already used to it and there was no reaction..
At that time, Namgungsu, who was ahead, spoke softly..
“I'll be there soon.”
After a while, the group arrived at their destination and stopped..
Myeong Il-oh and Kwak Du-yong looked up at the huge plaque and shouted with emotion..
“Here…….”
“The best in the world!”
Finally, they arrived at the Namgung family, known as the best family in the world..
The grandeur of the Namgung family was amazing..
The main gate was wide enough to allow five carriages to enter and exit at the same time, and about a dozen guards, uttering significant prayers, stood tightly guarded..
It is large enough to be called a castle rather than a family..
“……It's really big, really..”
“It seems bigger than when I was there before..”
Ak Yeon-ho and Zhuge So-yeong, who came from prestigious families, also seemed fed up in front of the grandeur of the Namgung family..
Myeong Il-oh and Kwak Du-yong went without saying..
They shrugged their shoulders and narrowed their eyes like hillbillies who had just arrived in the city..
But this time too, only Baek Su-ryong remained calm..
‘It's much smaller than Hyekgyo..’
In the past, the blood religion was a single force that fought against all political factions. Even in terms of scale, there was no place to compare it to, so there was no reason for Baek Soo-ryong to be surprised upon seeing the Namgung family..
However, Namgung Myeong-jin, who had no way of knowing that, misunderstood it on his own..
‘There's no way you wouldn't be shaken even after visiting your parents' home for the first time. How deep is the heart that can hide emotions so perfectly? … . As expected, he is someone who cannot understand his inner thoughts. Don't be fooled by its cocky appearance.’
Namgung Myeong-jin stepped forward, pledging that he would never let down his guard..
“Three Confucius and guests from the Blue Dragon Museum.!”
The group, which included two blood relatives of the Namgung family, passed through the main gate without any inspection..
However, even after passing the main gate, I had to walk a long way to the accommodation provided for new instructor training..
“From here you will need to get off your horse. I will guide you to your accommodation..”
After passing through the main gate, the group followed Namgung Myeongjin to the accommodation. It was said that all lecturers at Odaegwan stay in the same building..
“It's here. There will be instructors from other institutions who came first, so you can exchange greetings and relax. Full-scale training starts tomorrow…….”
It was then.
“kill it!”
Harsh swear words erupted from inside, and soon the sounds of fighting began to be heard along with fierce energy waves..
