Chapter 26
##26fury. About the practical test
16After all interviews have been completed and the applicants have left the interview room,.
Kwak Cheol-woo clicked his tongue and said,.
“What kind of arrogant guy is that? what? Throw out a bowl of ink with an external attack?”
“…….”
“Teacher Namgung. Don't worry. I'm struggling to somehow catch the interviewer's attention..”
“…….”
Kwak Cheol-woo looked at Namgung-su, who had been silent from earlier..
Although he was superior to Namgungsu in terms of age and distribution in the martial arts, he was in a position where he had no choice but to pay attention to Namgungsu's opinions..
Namgungsu, the three-pointed sword.
He was the best lecturer at Cheongryong Academy, and many students lined up in long lines to take his classes every semester..
I knew that not only were there a flood of requests for private tutoring from outside the academy, but also that other five college campuses had made several offers to Namgung-su for a job change..
It's been a few years already.
‘I'm glad that Teacher Namgung remained with our Cheongryong Academy with affection.…….’
But don't you know what the human heart is??
If Namgungsu one day moves to another Five University Hall, Cheongryong Hall, whose reputation is already declining, will not even be among the last of the Wulin Five University Halls in the future..
From the point of view of the vice-gwanju who had to think about the future of the Cheongryong Academy, Namgungsu was a person who should never be missed..
‘Did you say Baeksu-ryong? Since he was a young man recommended by a non-respondent, I tried to let him pass the interview.…….’
In Kwak Cheol-woo's opinion, Baek Soo-ryong had the worst handshake he could have during an interview..
Since he offended the Ilta instructor, even if he succeeds in the interview and passes the practical test and becomes a temporary instructor, his future will be filled with dark clouds..
“Teacher Namgung's reputation is so well-known that there are probably one or two people who want to try his hand at it. I'll handle it on my own, so don't worry about it.…….”
“…….”
Namgungsu was speechless as he was still lost in thought. Kwak Cheol-woo, who was nervous, put saliva on his lips and said.
“Are you upset because I broke up the fight earlier? But if you had hurt him, I'm sure he would have gone out and spread bad rumors about you. That's why I dried it, so don't feel bad.…….”
“hmm. To me, he doesn't seem like that kind of young man..”
Kwak Cheol-woo glared at the intruder, but there was nothing more he could do..
“Lord…….”
Because I wasn't big enough to say something to the old man who was the head of the Cheongryong Academy and had been considered one of the top martial arts experts for decades..
Noh smiled and recalled what happened a little while ago..
“If the adjutant had not stopped him, he would have attacked at any moment. Didn’t it seem that way to Teacher Namgung??”
“……you're right. I was overly confident..”
Namgungsu opened his mouth with a cold expression. Noh Gun-sang asked with a mischievous smile..
“But why did you stay still? Aren’t you curious about his external skills??”
An old man's eyes that seem to pierce his inner heart.
However, Namgungsu’s cold expression did not waver..
“Because it wasn't worth dealing with. It's also because I provoked my opponent first..”
“Well, no matter how pressured the interview was, it was intense..”
Namgungsu nodded..
“yes. I think the other party could have been quite angry. In that situation, if I had tried to break him with an external attack, it would have only hurt his pride even more..”
The attitude that if there was a winner, you would definitely win..
As an instructor at Cheongryong Academy and a top martial artist, it was natural confidence..
Moreover, he is considerate of others who are sure to be humiliated..
Kwak Cheol-woo once again praised Namgung-su, saying he was impressed..
“Teacher Namgung is not only a person with great skills, but also a big heart. It's a situation that makes you angry enough, but you hold back because you don't want to embarrass the other person... … . Other teachers should also follow this example.!”
“no. Judging from the fact that I got so excited and said harsh words to the applicant, I am still a person who lacks discipline..”
“Isn’t this a statement that comes from a great deal of love for our Cheongryong Academy? From what I could see, that friend wasn't in the shape to apply to become an external art instructor..”
Kwak Cheol-woo applied gold lacquer to Namgung-su's face, and Namgung-su showed humility with a calm expression..
Noh Gun-sang, sitting between them, crossed his arms and thought of the young man who had just left..
‘Did you say white water dragon?.’
His tone of voice, gestures, and keen eyes as he observed the interviewers from head to toe remained strongly in my memory..
……The martial artist didn't look very strong, but Noh Gunsang felt strangely nervous in front of the young man..
“Do you think Baek Soo-ryong should be rejected from the interview??”
“yes.”
Kwak Cheol-woo answered right away, and Nam Gung-su looked at Noh Gun-sang's expression for a moment and then nodded..
“I think it would be right to eliminate my idea too... … . Does the governor have a different opinion?.”
16During the entire interview process, Mr. Roh never once intervened in deciding whether or not the interviewee passed..
Most of the time, I just smiled and occasionally asked about the interviewer's personal details..
So until now, Kwak Cheol-woo and Nam Goong-soo have decided whether the interviewee will pass or be rejected..
But this time was different.
“I will let Ak Yeon-ho, Myung Il-oh, and Baek Soo-ryong pass in the Sixteen Articles..”
For the first time clearly, Mr. Roh was expressing his opinion..
No, that wasn't an opinion, it was a one-sided notice..
“yes? why?”
Surprised, Kwak Cheol-woo opened his eyes wide and asked, but soon realized that it was rude to the other person and lowered his eyes..
“Sorry, sorry, Mr..”
“It's okay.”
Noh smiled and continued speaking..
“Because I don't know. At this age, you can get a rough idea of the other person's martial arts skills and personality just by talking to them, but you hardly know that person. I can't figure it out. The martial arts level is the same, I have no idea what's inside..”
“It’s been decades since I’ve seen something like this,” Noh muttered, his eyes shining like a child..
Namgungsu said with a somewhat stern expression..
“……This is the first time I've seen the governor praise someone like that..”
“It's still hard to call it a compliment. Maybe he's just a weirdo. I just want to see you one more time.”
“Is that so?…….”
Namgungsu was silent for a moment, then spoke in passing..
“Is this a decision that won’t change even if I oppose it??”
“why? Do you even care??”
“…….”
For a split second, the eyes of Noh Gun-sang and Nam Gung-su collided..
When Kwak Cheol-woo was at a loss and was about to say something, Namgung-su smiled and took a step back..
“All right. Since you said so much, I want to see you one more time..”
Nangongsu smiled softly, but his eyes were not smiling at all..
“……Next time, I hope I can see things I couldn't see..”
“I hope so. At least for the development of our Cheongryong Academic Center..”
“…….”
Namgungsu’s eyebrows twitched at Noh Gunsang’s strange words..
Kwak Cheol-woo, who was looking between the two, quickly shouted outside..
“Seventeen, please come in.!”
* * *
“older brother. It wasn't too bad?”
“What is so serious?.”
At my harsh answer, Ak Yeon-ho came close to me and whispered..
“What do you do if you provoke an instructor at Cheongryong Academic Center? I'm glad that the vice-governor stopped me. If I had done anything wrong,…….”
“I thought you would stop me.”
“yes?”
As I laughed, Ak Yeon-ho looked at me with a blank expression..
I added an explanation.
“If it were you, would you make the most valuable instructor in the school fight with a new instructor applicant? Even if you win, you won't even get your money's worth, and if you lose, how can you handle the embarrassment??”
“So on purpose?”
“At least it would have left a strong impression..”
Of course, I was confident that I would win even assuming that I was competing against Nam Gung-soo..
Because I have the 18 Green Forest formulas left behind by Master Maeng..
‘So I went out a little stronger.…….’
It did not deviate from expectations at all, and Kwak Cheol-woo intervened and stopped the fight..
Behind him, Namgungsu’s embarrassed eyes were shaking.…….
By now, the other person is probably making excuses such as, “I put up with it because I felt sorry for him,” or “I put up with it because of the prestige of the institution.”.
“You stupid bastard. If you get caught, just break off the limbs..”
Well, there is still a lot of time in the future..
First of all, I plan to become an instructor at the Blue Dragon Academy, and if that happens, I have no choice but to keep clashing with Namgungsu..
“I'll tease you slowly.”
When I said this with a grin, Ak Yeon-ho looked at me with a puzzled expression..
“I don't even think about the person I'm giving rice cake to... … . So what do you do if you fail the interview??”
If you fail the interview?
I thought for a moment and answered.
“I will build a large manor opposite the Blue Dragon Science Museum, and I will take my last name there and open the White Dragon Science Museum. In ten years, the guys I taught will be beating up all the Blue Dragon School guys..”
I wouldn't know if I didn't have money in hand.
I had an inheritance inherited from Old Man Heo and a foundation for business..
‘It's not a bad idea to make a big deal out of your academic career at this time..’
It was only a matter of time, but I was confident that I would eventually attract students..
Although it will take more time than starting your career at Cheongryong Academic Center..
“If you drop me, that's probably all the interviewers will see. I have nothing to regret.”
“Anyway, it's nice to be confident..”
“okay. I will hire you as an instructor without any special interview. As the founding instructor of our Baekryong Academic Center,…….”
“Oh, I'll cheer you on from afar.”
As we left the interview room talking about trivial things, an unfamiliar figure approached us..
“Sorry for talking to you.”
When I looked back, a man with short hair and a sad look was approaching me smiling..
I recognized him..
‘Did you say Myeong-il-o?.’
The man we interviewed with was short and built like a brick..
Even at a glance, he looks like a nice person and actually has a friendly personality, so I think Kwak Cheol-woo was my favorite after Ak Yeon-ho..
You seem to have good skills, so let’s put you in as a candidate for Baekryong Academy instructor.?
“My name is Myeong Il-o and I am from Shandong. evil small-mindedness. I've seen you once before. Do you remember??”
Myeong Il-oh said to Ak Yeon-ho while holding his hand..
At that moment, Yeonho Ak showed a rare expression of embarrassment..
“Ah, well. I'm sorry, but I don't remember well... … . When did you see each other??”
“It was Lady Yeonhwa’s 20th birthday..”
“ah… … . At that time?”
“haha. There are so many people that you won't remember. Actually, I only saw it briefly from afar. Several years have already passed.”
“Sure. Already like that…….”
The Shandong music family and the famous family head were both located in the Shandong region..
However, unlike the Shandong music family, which can be said to be the losers of the region, the famous music family was from the medium and small music group..
Therefore, even though Ak Yeon-ho did not care about the opponent, Myung Il-oh was in a position where he could not..
“It's a good thing that we met people from the same neighborhood. Would you like to have a meal together? I will treat you.”
“hmm. that is…….”
why are you looking at me?
Ak Yeon-ho looked at me and asked:.
“How are you??”
……ah. It was because of me?
“I don't care.”
“Baek Sohyeop also graces the occasion! haha. I was really impressed by the distribution you showed in front of the interviewers earlier.!”
A smile that makes everyone who sees it feel good.
Myeong Il-o was so friendly that he naturally joined our group as if he had been in our group from the beginning..
“But the two of you.”
Myeong Il-oh glanced around and lowered his voice and said..
“Do you know about the practical exam??”
