Chapter 3
##3fury. Oh no, no?
I put on my top and ran out straight away..
“Master! help!”
The desperate cry was coming from the direction of the residence of Baek Mu-heun, the father of this body..
It's a familiar voice.
‘What's going on at this late hour??’
It's late at night when most people are in bed..
At this time, it was not normal to come to the military office and look for my father..
After a while, when I arrived in front of my father's residence, I saw a little boy kneeling in front of his father and crying under the lamplight..
‘That guy?’
It's a kid named Jang..
The Jang family of the dry goods store. Second, the leader of the nose-bleeding dogs I teach..
This guy came to me this morning with a sulky expression and begged me to teach him martial arts quickly..
For a moment, what my father said a moment ago came to mind..
-Mr. Jang from the fabric store came to visit us earlier. They say the son who was sent to military service came back dead..
no way… … Did you come to criticize me because it was unfair that I ordered Mabo??
“Such a shameful thing…….”
The moment I was about to say something because I was in tears, the dog sniffled and shouted..
“Please save my brother.!”
“Master Baek! Please save my son!”
I looked again and saw that behind the nosebleed cloth store, Mr. Jang, was carrying a boy covered in blood..
“what the hell is going on?”
The father's expression hardened as he checked the blood-covered boy's condition..
He handed the boy over to Mr. Jang, a dry goods store, and laid him down on the floor to check his condition..
‘It's a wound from a martial arts attack..’
I quietly went to my father's side and checked the boy's condition..
Although it was clumsy, it was clearly a wound from martial arts..
“Ugh…….”
As his father touched and massaged various parts of his body, the boy wriggled and moaned..
The snotty dog who saw that scene shed tears and snot next to his brother..
The boy's father, Mr. Jang, also looked desperate..
“Please save our firstborn child.!”
The blood-covered boy was the eldest son of the Jang family, the fabric store owner, and was the older brother of the Koheuligae I taught by five years..
The father sighed in relief after examining the boy's body..
“A few bones were broken, but no internal organs were damaged. There will be no risk to life. First of all, we will provide first aid, so let him sleep here today, and take him to the clinic tomorrow to be examined properly..”
As the father traced a few points on the boy's acupuncture points, the boy's expression relaxed and he fell asleep..
My father was well-versed in medicine because he visited doctors and sought medicinal herbs in every way possible for his sick wife and son..
In particular, he was better than most doctors when it came to trauma, so much so that when villagers got hurt, they would come to my father before the doctor..
“Oh my, thank you! thank you!”
“Ambassador. My brother is not going to die, is he? It's really okay?”
Mr. Jang, the draper, kept lowering his head, and Jang, the nostril dog, was still holding on to his father's clothes with an anxious look on his face..
“Don't worry. You'll be fine if you rest for a few days..”
The father held Jang Yi in his arms and stroked her head. The boy cried and fell asleep in his arms..
My father passed the sleeping dog to me and asked Mr. Jang in a low voice..
Unlike just now, his expression was as cold as ice..
“Who on earth is like this??”
The fur on my forearms stood up as I felt my father's death for the first time..
‘Although I expected it…….’
He himself said that he was an insignificant military man without a special name, but in my opinion, he was never like that..
“that is…….”
Mr. Jang of the dry goods store was unable to answer and looked confused..
He seemed worried that something big would happen because of his words..
His father reassured Mr. Jang..
“Don't worry. I'm just trying to find out what happened..”
“I got hurt while hanging out with my friends.…….”
“It's a bit hard to say this out loud, but Jang-il ranks on one hand in terms of skill among the kids his age in this village who learned martial arts from me. And the wounds suffered by Jang Il... … That wasn't something I taught you..”
“that is…….”
It was a time when Mr. Jang of the dry goods store was still unable to answer and hesitated..
“It's the work of Jin Moo-gwan bastards.!”
I must have woken up before I knew it, and Jang, who was in my arms, shouted with an angry expression on his face..
“They started a fight with my brother first! They dismissed the martial arts taught at Baekmugwan as cheap.!”
“Jinmugwan?”
Jin Moo Gwan was a military officer who came to the next village a few months ago..
I heard through rumor that Jinmu Gwanju was a distant collateral of the Namgung family..
‘This must be a bluff. No matter how collateral, I felt sorry for someone from five generations, so I came all the way to this rural area and became a military officer..’
Anyway, my father wasn't interested or didn't care about the new military officer in the next village..
Baekmugwan was already a master of martial arts here and had been teaching martial arts for over 20 years..
But that indifference lasted until today..
They clearly crossed the line.
“Did they really say that??”
Jang nodded his head vigorously in response to his father's cold-eyed question..
“yes They said that Baekmugwan's martial arts skills were poor, and that their martial arts skills were much stronger.!”
“Did several of Jinmugwan's disciples attack Jang Il??”
“That's not it... … There was only one person…….”
Jang muttered and then shouted loudly..
“Still, it was cowardly! Yangsam knows all our martial arts skills.!”
“……It was Yang Sam’s doing..”
Even though he was a military officer who had a hard time making a living, my father had the belief that he would not teach martial arts to someone he thought had poor character..
A guy named Yangsam is one of those guys. He was a good and sincere boy when he was young, but as he got older, he lost his temper, got scolded, and was kicked out of the military service..
It seems that Yang Sam recently learned martial arts at Jinmugwan..
“That bad guy started a fight with my brother! My brother tried not to fight, but he cursed at my teacher and even my parents.…….”
okay. Even a saint cannot stand hearing his parents criticize him..
From what I heard, it seemed like a guy named Yangsam had a grudge against Baekmugwan's disciples who kicked him out..
But I have one question here.
‘Did Yang Sam do it alone??’
Wounds on Jang Il’s bloody body.
There was something I noticed while looking at Jang-il's wounds next to his father..
‘I used vinegar.’
If Yangsam's hands had been a little crueler, the eldest son of the Jang family of the cloth store could have been crippled forever..
It was too vicious a method to be taught in a rural military academy..
“Umm…….”
My father must have been thinking the same thing as me, as he looked worried with deep wrinkles on his handsome forehead..
“It's like kids fighting among themselves. Since my son is safe, I'm okay with that..”
When my father's expression turned serious, Mr. Jang waved his hand, probably because he had a feeling that things would get worse..
He was a simple country guy..
My heart is pounding just because my son was beaten to the point of being covered in blood, but I'm afraid that a real fight will break out between the martial arts people and sparks will fly to me..
“Today's work.”
My father, who was quietly lost in thought, raised his head and said to Mr. Jang:.
“Tomorrow morning, I will personally meet Lord Jinmu and settle the matter..”
“Isn’t it just making things bigger?…….”
My father smiled and said to Mr. Jang, who had an expression full of worry..
“Don't worry. I will end with some good verbal advice..”
“Yes. I only trust Master Baek.…….”
“It's late, so let's call it a day. I will take care of Jang-il until tonight..”
“Oh my, thank you! thank you!”
Mr. Jang repeatedly bowed his head, saying thank you, and Jang, the nose-bleeding dog, was begging to avenge his brother and was dragged away by Mr. Jang by the ear..
I escorted them out the door on behalf of my father..
In my head, the spirit that Jinmu Gwan taught his disciples never left..
‘Will it end with advice??’
My father said he would resolve it through conversation, but I had a feeling that things wouldn't be resolved that easily..
* * *
The ominous premonition was correct..
“Oh, what a fuss this morning??”
The man who spoke in an arrogant manner was a man who was a hand taller than my father..
‘This guy who looks like a mountain thief is the collateral of the Namgung family.?’
I can tell just by looking at the steps..
What type of martial arts the opponent has learned, what kind of constitution they have, what habits they have when fighting, and what level of skill they have..
I have accumulated experience teaching countless trainees of the Blood Demon Church and observing the masters..
Based on that experience, the bandit-looking guy in front of me was second-rate at best..
Above all, this guy…….
“Last night, our military officer's student fought with Jin Moo Officer's student and was seriously injured..”
“I don't know why you're acting so sensitive because the kids are fighting..”
The father politely brought up the business, but the bastard, Nam Gung-wook, picked his ears and showed a grumpy attitude..
“……Jang-il's body was badly injured for it to have been a fight between kids..”
“As boys grow up, they fight and get hurt. How can a man become a leader if he is afraid of getting hurt like a girl??”
Nam Gung-wook treated Baek Moo-heun with an attitude of blatant disregard. What I meant was that you came here to criticize me like a girl..
There was no way he didn't know the meaning of that smile, but there was no significant change in my father's expression..
My father spoke calmly with his back to me..
“I don't know if Lord Jinmu teaches martial arts to children to make them masters, but I teach them so that they can grow up healthy and be able to defend themselves from thieves. Therefore, we do not teach methods that can seriously harm people..”
The father turned his head and spoke to one of the young men standing behind Nam Gung-wook..
“Yangsam. You almost killed your friend last night. Do you know?”
The young man did not dare to meet his father's cold gaze and avoided it, then gritted his teeth and said:.
“It was a fair dance.!”
“Do you really think that way??”
“That, that…….”
“hey. What are you doing to our students??”
Namgung- wook blocked the space between his father and Yangsam with his enormous size. He frowned grimly and glared at his father..
“If something is wronged, I will teach you more strongly. Some kid came to someone else's place of business with something that got him beaten up.?”
“Hey there.”
“Well, since the teacher is not good at martial arts, the student will also be defeated..”
“her…….”
Namgoong Wook openly quarreled with his father..
Before we knew it, onlookers were flocking around us..
I looked around and thought.
‘It was a trap.’
This makes it clear.
Jin Moo Gwan took advantage of this situation and ordered Yang Sam to attack Jang Il..
And when my father came to visit, he seemed to have been waiting and started a fight by humiliating me in front of people..
If my father just backs down, he will be known as a coward, and from now on Baekmugwan will have a shortage of students..
Then, wouldn't it be okay for my father to crush this guy with martial arts??
“Ibosho Baekmugwanju. Are you going to use it when children's fights become adult fights? Just go back now. From now on, I will tell our students not to bully the weak kids..”
Namgoong Wook was trying to annoy his father with words, but he did not start a fight directly..
Here, the excited father applies for the secret service first.?
‘I'm just a little kid who came to get revenge for losing a fight with kids..’
Even if my father won the competition, there was no way good news would spread..
‘The bandit was quite cunning. No, did someone else use the hair??’
Because Jinmugwan had not yet established itself, there were only a few students..
But what happened today will be rumored one way or another..
maybe… … As the evaluation of Baek Moo-gwan goes down, the evaluation of Jin Moo-gwan will go up..
“Hmm! I guess everyone doesn't know much..”
Perhaps thinking it was an opportunity, the goatee-bearded man who had been quietly standing next to Namgoong-wook spoke loudly so that the onlookers could hear..
“Namgung-wook Daehyup here is the eldest cousin of the Changcheon Sword King Namgung Jehak Daehyup, who is an instructor at Cheonmuhakgwan. This is not to say that it is from the great Namgung family.!”
Cheonmuhakkwan and the name Namgung family made onlookers excited..
Even in this countryside, the names of the five generations were so remarkable that it was surprising..
Nam Gung-wook cleared his throat loudly and waved his hand..
“Huh! It's just a distant collateral. I just work hard to not be ashamed of Namgoong’s name..”
I bet my hands that it's not that bastard Namgoong..
Anyway, no matter what choice my father made here, he was bound to suffer a loss..
If I hadn't stepped up.
“Hey. Then, is the martial arts taught by Jinmu Gwanju to students also martial arts of the Namgung family??”
“hmm?”
Namgoong Wook looked at me, who was standing next to his father, as if there was even a kid like you..
I said, shrinking my neck as if I was scared..
“It was my first time seeing the martial arts of the five generations... … . Is Jinmu Gwan really teaching the martial arts of the Namgung family??”
He laughed at my unfashionable expression and tone and said, putting a lot of pressure on his shoulders..
“If you think about it, you can see that it is. Of course, it cannot be said to be the main season, but if you look at its roots, it is the same as martial arts.…….”
Onlookers exclaimed, “Ohhh!”.
The goatee man's expression was slightly crumpled as if he sensed something strange, but I spoke first..
“Huh! Maybe that's why its power is truly amazing. Yangsam's skills improved a lot in just a few months.!”
“you…….”
My father looked at me as if asking what I was doing, but I silenced him with a wink and continued speaking..
“In my life, I have seen all the divine techniques of the five generations! This white lady has had her eyes opened.!”
“Haha! You have quite an eye for seeing. If you want, I can teach you too.!”
eat.
A thin smile appeared on my lips as I could no longer hold it in..
“yes. I never imagined that there would be such cruelty in the martial arts of the Namgung family. I was so obsessed with life that I thought it was Sapa martial arts..”
“……what?”
The expressions of Namgung-wook and Goatbeard, who were triumphant at my words, hardened, and the laughter of the Jinmugwan students who were secretly laughing at us suddenly stopped..
Nam Gung-wook's face gradually became distorted like a vicious murderer..
“What did you just say? If you play with the snout carelessly,…….”
“They said it was like Sapa martial arts. Why, you know something like that. It is a martial art that is very quick to learn in the beginning, but if you keep learning it, you will become an asshole..”
“What, what, what!”
We were so embarrassed that even the onlookers who were looking at us with expressions of silence looked shocked..
The goatee next to Nam Gung-wook was trembling with his face turning red..
And the more embarrassed they were, the deeper the smile on my face got..
“no way. No, right? There's no way he could have taught Sapa martial arts in the name of the Great Namgung family.?”
Please note that not all Sapa martial arts skills are evil and dangerous..
Among them, there were some that were as profound as the martial arts of the righteous faction and some that had almost no side effects..
But there is a huge difference in public perception..
For example.
“From now on, you can brag to everyone you meet that you have seen the Namgung family’s new skills, right? As a side note, I put a flue in the Murim Alliance as well..”
The blood drained from Namgoong Wook’s face..
