Chapter 28

##28fury. Gwangma?

“uh? Why are you so fine??”

This is what Ak Yeon-ho said as soon as he saw me entering the guesthouse..

I sat down opposite Yeonho Ak and glared at him..

“Are you dissatisfied that you came back fine??”

“No, that's not it... … . The student dean's expression looked like he was going to break a few of your bones..”

Myeong Il-oh, who was sitting next to me and sipping a glass of wine, looked me up and down and said with an expression of surprise..

“Even after a personal meeting with Geomchi, the so-called Rakshasa of the Blue Dragon Academy, he came back unharmed... … . Brother Baek. Did you stick to it that much??”

I looked at him with a puzzled expression..

“No, why do you think there was a fight??”

“……That's because you also provoked Nam Goong-soo, an instructor at Ilta.?”

“The case is different with that child. I am naturally a very gentle and peaceful person..”

“Wow, spit on your mouth…….”

Ignoring Ak Yeon-ho's words, I took the drink Myung Il-oh poured for me and poured it out in one gulp..

Then he filled Myeongil-o's cup and asked,.

“But Geomchi? Is that the student dean’s nickname??”

“yes? Did you really not know??”

Myeong Il-oh said with bright eyes shining..

“Geomtooth (劍齒) Maegeukryeom. He is a famous master in the Jeonjeon Dynasty, and after his sudden retirement, he worked as an instructor at Cheongryong Academy for over 30 years. In the past, it is said that he was famous as a swordsman who never compromises with Sima Mao-do and his brave personality of always keeping his word..”

Myeong Il-o was familiar with all the rumors about Kang-ho..

Thanks to this, I never got bored when we were together, and it was nice to ask questions about things..

“Since taking over as student director, he has been famous for providing strict education to his students. In particular, students who cause disorderly conduct are said to be no different from the Death of Death..”

Myeong Il-oh lowered his body and spoke grimly, setting the mood..

“It is so scary that it would be better for students who break the school rules to be imprisoned in the Murimmaeng Prison... … They say one-on-one guidance is waiting for you. The credibility of this statement is quite high as it was said by a person who actually graduated from the Blue Dragon Academy and was imprisoned in the Murim League prison..”

At this point I couldn't help but point out one thing..

“What on earth did a former member of the Blue Dragon Academy do to be locked up in the Murim League prison??”

“Don't you know? The famous Cheonri Shintu is from Cheongryonghakgwan. Rumor has it that when he was a student, he ran away from his student leader and practiced meditation, and one day he attained enlightenment.…….”

“…….”

Do I really need to get a job at this damn institution??

Ak Yeon-ho, who had been hearing unbelievable stories one after another, looked at me and said,.

“see. Isn’t it brave that you came back unharmed?.”

“……That's right.”

“But my brother. Why is the student dean so strict only when it comes to cases of disorderly conduct? Young students can interact with each other.”

An extremely unpleasant question.

But at this moment, why does someone’s face come to mind?.

‘I wonder if that's the reason…….’

Myung Il-o started explaining to us that there is a reason for everything..

“Was it about 30 years ago? It is said that there was an enormous incident that could have overturned academic institutions. Well, the two students fell in love, got married, and ran away into the night..”

“oh my god. That's cool!”

“yes? Anyway, at that time, Geomchi senior said he would catch the male student and kill him.…….”

“now. Stop talking about this now.”

Since I didn't want to hear about my father's colorful past from someone else's mouth, I quickly filled Myeongil-oh's glass with alcohol..

“Let's talk about something more constructive..”

“Now is the fun part.…….”

I said to Ak Yeon-ho, who looked regretful, making a sign between my eyebrows..

“Are we here to hear old stories? uh? Aren't you going to prepare for the practical test? Don't you think that while you're drinking like this, your competitors might be sweating blood and training? uh?”

“……So suddenly?”

When I suddenly asked, Ak Yeon-ho looked at me with a puzzled expression..

I shamelessly ignored him, turned my head and asked Myung Il-oh..

“So, how is the practical test conducted??”

Although it was briefly mentioned as a story about the student dean, the most important thing for us was the practical test that took place after the interview..

Myung Il-oh leaned closer to the table and lowered his voice. At the same time, we also leaned in like people plotting a suspicious plot..

“Based on predictions from past exams, this year's practical exam will be evaluated as a comprehensive evaluation that combines the scores of the two categories..”

Ak Yeon-ho folded his fingers one by one and continued speaking..

“First of all, sparring. You must prove your martial arts level through sparring with existing instructors. You don't have to win, but it's definitely advantageous to win..”

“……Do I designate the opponent? Or do existing instructors do it??”

I asked, thinking about the external attack battle with Namgungsu. Myung Il-oh seemed to have read my thoughts and continued speaking with a smile..

“It is said that the host will be designated by the head of the academy..”

“Hmm…….”

Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara statue.

It was difficult for me to predict how the old expert, whose true nature is unknown, would turn out..

‘From what I noticed earlier, it seemed like he wanted to see me and Namgoongsu fight..’

I don't mind going with another instructor, but I wanted to go with Namgoongsu if possible..

Only then will we be able to dramatically show the emergence of a new Ilta instructor in front of many people..

“The second test is?”

Myung Il-oh said, folding his second finger..

“The second is a demonstration lecture. For approximately two days, you will give a demonstration lecture on the subject you applied for in front of students. You must leave a strong impression on students and visiting instructors in a short period of time..”

If sparring was intended to check the instructor's martial arts level, the demonstration lecture was intended to determine teaching capabilities..

‘Just because they are experts doesn't mean they are all good at teaching..’

There were many cases where he was unable to convey his teachings properly because he was not good at speaking, or he ruined his students by insisting that his own way was the correct answer..

me? Of course I was confident.

‘It's just a demonstration lecture. How much Jjambap did you eat while teaching trainees as a martial arts instructor at Hyeolgyo?.’

Just by looking at their eyes, I could tell who was working hard, who was lazy, who took care of their body properly, and who went out after drinking the night before..

The name ‘Demon Instructor of the Blood Cult’ was not derived from gambling..

You can take control of political faction brats in an instant.…….

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.

“……I'm asking because I'm curious, but you shouldn't swear or hit me during the demonstration lecture.?”

Two people were startled by my question..

“I'm crazy?”

“Are you kidding??”

“No, I'm serious.…….”

“…….”

“…….”

Ak Yeon-ho looks at me with an expression that says he doesn't have an answer, and Myeong-il-oh looks at me with an expression that doesn't know if what I'm saying is serious or a joke..

‘Looks like it doesn't work either.’

Yes.

Most of the training I received in the religious sect was unacceptable in the political sect..

Lightly torturing them, starting with their parents' well-being and then discouraging them with all kinds of creative insults, or constantly brainwashing them to turn them into human weapons without fear of death.…….

“older brother. Do you know how scary students are these days? If you even touch it, you will be immediately reported to the Murim League..”

“What's worse are the parents. How many parents are polar opposites? Besides, they are also experts..”

“……That's about it?”

I thought it was because the people I was teaching at Baekmugwan were kids, but it turns out that even kids over 15 have to be taught that way.?

“Okay. Anyway, weak political faction kids are the problem.…….”

It's a trial lecture..

It seems a little different than I thought, but I wasn't too worried..

“This year, we need to pay close attention to our students. There is talk that the proportion of student evaluations in pilot lectures will be 50%..”

Myung Il-oh continued speaking with a cautious expression..

“In particular, we need to pay more attention to the student council and the club association, which are the two major forces in the academic institution..”

“If it's a student council…….”

Speaking of student council, I thought of the male and female students looking down at us from the roof of the dormitory..

Both of them had outstanding prayers, and the female student gave us an unforgettable roar..

-There you two! The two passed under the authority of the student council without any questions or questioning... … Eup, eup!

-Vice President! it's crazy?

……They were the student council..

Ak Yeon-ho also came out and said with a happy expression, as if he remembered the scene..

“The vice president of the student council said that we would definitely pass.?”

“hmm. I heard that too.”

“Look, brother. Half of the students are already on our side.?”

Ak Yeon-ho looked at me and smiled happily..

But Myeong Il-oh's words are not over yet..

“To put it another way, half of them are male students. As much as you two are supported by female students, there is a high possibility that male students will dislike you..”

“no way. No way, so petty…….”

Ak Yeon-ho had an expression of doubt, but I also agreed with Myung Il-oh..

“It's not wrong. Even I would hate it if two guys who looked like gisaeng brothers monopolized women's attention..”

If you are handsome and pretty, you have many advantages in life..

However, it was also easy to get caught up in rumors or become a target..

As much as we received a lot of attention, our evaluation could have been further reduced due to minor mistakes or mistakes..

“That means people like us need to think of ways to win the favor of boys too..”

‘people like us?’

Myeong Il-oh subtly involved himself in the two of us, but he felt like he would get hurt if he pointed it out, so he stayed quiet..

“Is there a good way??”

Myeong Il-oh grinned as if he had been waiting for my question..

“Before going into battle, shouldn't you check the enemy lines first??”

“That means?”

“If you want to know how students feel, you have to go to a place where there are a lot of students..”

Myung Il-oh's eyes lit up as he took out a thin booklet from his travel bag..

“I heard that the student council is holding an outdoor event..”

* * *

Murmur.

When we arrived at the festival venue, the area around the venue was already crowded with people..

[Cheongryong Academic Hall Winter Semester Festival]

A banner with warrior-like handwriting fluttered in the wind..

Ak Yeon-ho, standing to my left, whispered into my ear..

“There are a lot more people than you think, right? Ordinary people can also see it.”

“I know.”

“haha. It is a festival that not only students of Cheongryong Academy can participate in. It's almost like a city festival..”

Myeong Il-oh, who was leading us from the front, turned around and said:.

We followed Myeongil-o and walked around to see the festival..

The festival was lively.

Merchants had stalls here and there selling food, and there were many trinkets that young female students liked..

There were also cases where club students did their own business or demonstrated martial arts..

“It doesn't come every day! An aphrodisiac made with Dangga’s vision! Just money…….”

The sight of them proudly selling aphrodisiacs in the name of the party made me click my tongue..

“Is it okay to be like that??”

“haha. I'm doing it for fun..”

He said it was a fairly old event..

Therefore, the academy said that as long as they do not cause accidents, they will not impose major sanctions on students..

As we walked around, we saw some students recognizing us on the street..

“Hey, look over there. Aren’t those handsome instructors from earlier??”

“Wow! It's true!”

“Should I go and talk first??”

There were a lot of glances, but no one approached us first and spoke to us..

Of course, it does not mean that there were no such attempts at all..

“Hey there, instructors.…….”

When a female student approaches me with her hair tucked behind her ear,

Slurp. Slurp.

Remarkably identical-looking twin male students appeared on either side of the female student and grabbed her arms from both sides to subdue her..

“Oh, why, why are you like this?!”

“I'm sorry, but you'll have to come with me..”

left said.

“All I did was talk!”

“Intercourse with the opposite sex is against the school rules..”

right said.

“What kind of impure heterosexual dating! I just wanted to say hello to the instructors in advance.……!”

The female student tried to free her grabbed arm, but was unable to move because she had already been subdued..

“I'll hear your excuses later..”

“First of all, to the student council.”

Twins with gloomy faces spoke at the same time..

“Let go! Let go of this!”

Looking at the female student being dragged by her arms on both sides, Ak Yeon-ho said with a slightly fed up expression..

“Student council, it’s scary.…….”

Stinging gazes felt from everywhere.

Students wearing yellow armbands with ‘Seondobu (善導部)’ written on their forearms were walking around with their eyes wide open..

Although some of them looked at us with slightly open eyes,…….

Every time that happened, the gloomy twins warned them..

‘There are all kinds of strange guys out there..’

Since it was a fairly large city festival, we occasionally saw applicants for new instructors other than us..

I spotted a familiar face from afar and tapped Akh Yeon-ho on the shoulder..

“He came too.”

“who… … Ah, fat guy.?”

Was it Kwak Doo-yong??

A fat man who had been humiliated by us twice was talking at a street vendor, piling up an amount of food that was impossible for him to eat alone..

His face was pale, as if he was already quite drunk..

“ha ha ha! This was back when Master Kwak was studying at Suzaku Academy.…….”

“wow!”

“amazing!”

Several students around him were making comments, and it looked like they were about to get ripped off..

“Kids these days are scary.”

“That's right…….”

We grabbed our bags and walked around the festival again..

I watched and observed the students while eating, drinking, and sometimes saying hello to the students who came first..

‘It's peaceful..’

The sudden accident happened when the sun was setting and I was starting to think about returning to my guesthouse..

―Shout out loud!

Suddenly the seat in front of me was shattered. A student covered in blood was rolling around and moaning..

“Ugh…….”

A long shadow was cast over the suffering student..

“what? Say it again, you bastard..”

The moment he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol was in the air..

He moistened his mouth with a gourd in one hand, and with the other hand he held a sword and tapped the fallen student's cheek. Fortunately, the province was not selected from the province house..

The gait, the eyes, and the face that seems to have ‘defect’ written on it..

Gossip and gossip.

“It's that guy again?”

“I really hate it…….”

Some of the students who recognized him quietly retreated..

But I'm frozen in place.

It wasn't because I wanted to stop the students from fighting..

but,

“Gwangma?”

The moment I saw the face that appeared in front of me, I muttered that without even realizing it..
