Chapter 364
364fury. Take things for granted
“why, why…….”
He coughed up blood and looked at the person stabbing him in the chest..
I knew best that there was no hope of survival..
But I wanted to at least know the reason.
Why was I attacked? Why did I have to die miserably in this back alley?…….
“Don't feel unfair..”
It was a friendly voice. Then, a delicate hand gently stroked the face of the dying man. He slowly brushed his teeth as if feeling the texture of his skin and opened his mouth again..
“Because of your sacrifice, our school will get one step closer to glory..”
“tongue, blood……!”
The person who was spitting out blood foam with an aggrieved face quickly stopped breathing..
The assassin searched the dead man's arms. There was a plaque to prove my identity, some silver coins, and gold coins that I would never use again..
“Here it is.”
Blue Dragon Plaque.
A type of certificate given to students and instructors who entered Cheongryong Academic Hall..
After checking the name written on the back, Sal-su and Cheon-sal spoke to their subordinates in the city behind them..
“Let the school know. I'm going to reach my goal.”
“yes.”
Even after his subordinate left, Cheon-sal did not leave immediately and inspected the body. I personally touched the muscles and bones and looked closely at the palm of my hand..
I had chosen an object and looked at it for quite some time, but it was different to touch it with my own hands..
After observing for a long enough time that it seemed persistent, Cheon-sal stood up..
“Ah, ah - it's been a long time. How have you been??”
He was greeting the wall as if he were practicing, and his voice was different from before, with the face of the person he had killed..

These days, residents living near Cheongryong Academic Center felt that the semester would begin soon..
It was often seen that students from their respective clans or clans returned from their vacations one by one, and various supplies, including food, were taken into the Cheongryong Academic Hall..
In addition, warriors from the Murim Alliance, famous sects and families, and quick-witted merchants came and went until the threshold of Cheongryonghakgwan was worn out. Thanks to this, the entire city became more vibrant..
Expectations for Emperor Cheonmu, which is less than half a year away, have also risen significantly. Whether it's a guest house, a restaurant, or a place where people gather, people talk about how this year's Cheongryong Academic Center will be different. It was a very different scene from before, when the very mention of Emperor Tianwu was taboo..
Above all, as I listened to the screams that began to echo from Baekryong Hall again every morning, I had a strong feeling that something new would happen at Cheongryong Hall..
“Wow!”
The Heonwon River, which flew away with a strange scream, stretched out in a large shape in the middle of the training ground. And didn't move for a while.
The disciples stuck their heads out the door and looked at Heonwon River with sleepy eyes. Everyone's eyes were half open, probably because they woke up from sleep..
“……It's not dead.?”
“It's too much of a waste of senior Wongang's history to die like that..”
“Didn't he just fall off his head??”
“It would be a big deal if I became more of a fool over there.…….”
At that time, Heonwon River, who had been looking up at the sky blankly, jumped up and flipped his back..
Heonwon- gang wiped the nosebleed from one of his nose with his sleeve and stamped his foot vigorously as if he was truly indignant..
“Oh! This time I was able to really hit him.!”
“Hmm-”
On the other side, White Water Dragon walked out, yawning. He didn't even change out of his baggy bedclothes. In one hand he held a black dragon piece..
“child. I'm in good spirits since dawn.”
It was Heonwon-gang who first asked for special training in preparation for Emperor Cheonmu..
So I told him to wake up half an hour before the other disciples. It was decided to provide customized personal sparring..
‘It looks like he was very upset after fighting with Paeng Sa-hyuk..’
At first, I thought I would just deal with him for a little while until he calmed down..
Just trying to complete the training schedule that is currently in place is pushing me close to my limit..
I thought that if I overexerted myself a few times, I wouldn't be able to stand on my own and would fall out..
However, there was no sign of the fighting spirit disappearing from Heonwongang's eyes..
“This time, I'm giving it a real punch.!”
Heonwon-gang hit the floor and rushed at Baek Soo-ryong..
Looking at the look in his disciple's eyes that was just like the first time, even though he had already been kicked out several times, the white water dragon flicked the black dragon..
It's worth admiring him for not giving up, but his eyes were rather cold..
“He keeps attacking me in the same way as before. what does that mean?”
Instead of answering, Heonwongang swung his sword with all his might..
The black sword tore through the early morning air and fell like a black thunderbolt. At the end was the face of a white water dragon yawning as if bored..
When the black sword almost touched the face of the white water dragon, the black dragon piece that was hanging down rose up..
Step by step!
The blade scratched the black dragon piece and sparks flew out. Baek Soo-ryong, who had deflected Heonwon River's attack, said indifferently..
“Are you done? Now it's my turn.”
“……!”
At that moment, a beast-like force rose from Baeksu-ryong’s body. Heonwon River retreated without realizing it..
The black dragon drew dozens of trajectories and targeted Heonwon River's entire body. The weapon was a black dragon, but the martial arts used were heavy and ferocious..
Kagaga River-!
Baek Su-ryong deliberately imitated a similar feeling to Hebei Paengga's method and pushed Heonwon River..
“Ugh……!”
Heonwongang gritted his teeth and swung his sword without stopping. There was no room for attack from all directions. I really felt like I was fighting a master of martial arts..
“I'm only going to beat Paeng Sa-hyuk with this kind of skill.?”
“Zenjaang!”
Heon Won-gang's hands and feet became dizzy, and a large gap appeared in his body. Baek Su-ryong did not miss the gap and dug inside. The length of the black dragon piece is shorter than that of the black sword, so it was advantageous to narrow the gap..
“It's hard to get excited about a trivial provocation. Cool your head first..”
Baek Soo-ryong planned to end his special early morning training with this blow..
However, the black dragon soaring upward from below narrowly grazed the chin of Heonwon River..
“damage?”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at Heonwon River with a slightly surprised expression..
Of course, the attack just wasn't full power. I was planning to use appropriate force and speed to make the Heonwon River stretch, I wasn't planning on killing my student..
But Heonwongang was only aiming for this moment..
“Hehehe.”
It wasn't the end of simply avoiding it..
The moment Baeksu-ryong burrowed inside, Heonwon-gang grinned and his eyes shined sharply..
The moment Baek Soo-ryong saw those eyes, he realized.
‘You deliberately left a gap to draw me closer..’
The moment the distance narrowed, Heon Won-gang released the sword from his hand and clenched his fist without any hesitation..
Although his strength did not reach that of Geo Sang-woong or Ya Su-hyeok, Heonwon-gang was by far the best among his disciples in terms of body elasticity, reaction speed, and animal sense..
In addition, since his physique condition is better than Baeksu-ryong's, he calculated that he would have a chance of winning if he dragged him into close combat. It was a strategy that came up as an impromptu strategy when it was determined that there was no answer in a head-to-head match..
“……Is it pretty? Now I know how to use tricks.”
Heon Won-gang, who normally would have responded with pride, stretched out his power without even holding his breath. The power contained in the fist was enough to shatter a rock..
Although it was quite powerful, Baek Su-ryong did not panic and gently made a circular motion with both hands, sending Heon Won-gang's fist to the side..
“It's still rough.”
However, because I was wearing a loose and thin robe, some of my sleeves got caught up in Heonwon-gang's attack..
profit-
I failed to land a single blow, but my sleeve was torn quite a bit..
Heonwon-gang's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it when he saw that scene in front of him..
“……!!”
The other disciples who were watching did the same. Everyone's mouths dropped open. My sleepy eyes opened naturally and I jumped up from my seat. White Water Dragon also looked a little embarrassed..
The teacher's clothes were torn.!
“Did you see it? I saw it! I told you I was going to hit you!”
Heonwon-gang looked back at his seniors and juniors with a very excited face and shouted..
But the excitement of Heonwon River did not last long..
“Where are you looking? Special training is not over yet.”
Baek Soo-ryong clicked his tongue and grabbed Heon Won-gang's arm and pulled him. He said, “Uh-huh.” I made a stupid noise and whispered it into the ear of the Heonwon River that came with it..
“Stay focused until the end. Then you might have really taken a hit.?”
“Now, wait a minute.……!”
Wow!
Baek Soo-ryong’s elbow stuck into Heon Won-gang’s temple. Heon Won-gang fell unconscious..
Baek Soo-ryong, who finished his special training, shook his hands..
He looked at his torn sleeve and laughed..
Then he turned and looked at the other disciples..
“Are you ready too??”
The disciples, who had already relaxed, nodded their heads with sparkling eyes..
Everyone was motivated to win after seeing what Heonwon-gang had just done. The disciples ran out of the room at the same time and attacked Baek Su-ryong..
““Please help me!””
A large cloud of dust rose in the yard, and the sound of cheers echoed outside Baekryongjang..
Children with talent and passion.
Baek Soo-ryong generously taught his disciples..
“Wow!”
Heonwon-gang, who had suddenly come to his senses again, stood up, naturally joined the formation, and shouted..
“Go to number 18188 of Baeksuryong Jojigi.!”
White Water Dragon, who stopped attacking for a moment, frowned as if suspicious..
“I think I just repeated eighteen twice.?”
“Question and answer dance! kill it!”
“……This bastard?”
However, seeing the fierce attacks coming from all directions at the same time, Baek Su-ryong soon chuckled..
“okay. Try as hard as you can.”
Baek Soo-ryong was sincerely hoping that one day the day would come when these guys' combined efforts would become difficult..
* * *
After a storm hit Baekryongjang, Baeksuryong went inside to wash himself..
When I came out after washing up, the disciples who had been lying on the floor were already preparing breakfast. It was Baekryongjang's unspoken rule to never entrust cooking utensils to Baeksuryong, even if it was difficult enough to kill him..
After finishing his meal quickly, Baek Soo-ryong stood up..
“I go to work first.”
“So early?”
Although he usually left early, his students tilted their heads when they heard that today he would come to work half a hour earlier than that..
Baeksu-ryong said as he took the Black Dragon, Changryongsin Sword, and the syllabus in his arms..
“I have a general meeting today..”
First day of school this semester.
Instructors were scheduled to arrive at Cheongryong Academic Center one hour before the students and make final decisions on various matters through meetings..
“See you later!”
Baek Soo-ryong, who left Baekryongjang, walked a familiar path..
When he first joined Cheongryong Academy, he was only a temporary instructor who was frowned upon by most instructors as well as students..
But now Baeksu-ryong’s position was completely different..
“older brother!”
When I turned my head at the familiar voice, I saw familiar faces quickly walking towards me..
“How have you been??”
“Maybe it's because the rumors about you never go away, but it seems like I saw you yesterday..”
The two people who approached with a grin were Akh Yeon-ho and Myeong Il-oh..
Naturally, Baek Su-ryong looked at their prayers and a look of interest appeared in his eyes. Both felt much sharper compared to before..
“I guess the training at the music school was difficult.?”
“Don't even talk. King Chang was so strict.…….”
Even thinking about it again, Myeong Il-o trembled as if he was scared. Ak Yeon-ho also sighed and nodded..
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled as he looked at the two..
“Did you stick around all vacation??”
“I guess it's almost like that. Except for a few days when we each rested at home..”
“Now, we can tell what to say just by looking into each other's eyes..”
“……It's disgusting because they seem like an old married couple.?”
As we walked together while chatting, we soon arrived at the main gate of Cheongryong Science Museum..
There, a familiar figure was looking up at the poster. Although she had the youthful appearance of a student, she also gave off a more mature aura..
“uh? Brothers!”
Zhuge Xiaoying, who sensed the presence of three people, turned around and smiled brightly..
But her expression looked very bright..
“What were you looking at that made you smile like that??”
“See for yourself.”
As Zhuge Xiaoying smiled and stepped aside, the contents of the poster she was covering came into view..
Soon the three men's eyes widened..
-------------------------
<Information on conversion of new instructors to Cheongryong Academic Center into full-time employees>
We announce that all new instructors who showed amazing results over the past semester have been converted to full-time employees, and announce their grades through performance evaluations..
Chief Baek Soo-ryong
Second Lieutenant: Zhuge Xiaoying
Samseok (三席) Ak Yeon-ho
……syncopation……
Oh Seok Jin Medical Association
Six seats Myeongil-oh
……syncopation……
Kwak Doo-yong, 10th stone
All of the following ten new instructors are appointed as official instructors..
-Noh Gunsang, head of Cheongryonghak Hall-
-------------------------
“formal instructor……!”
“The announcement was today!”
Ak Yeon-ho, Zhuge So-young, Myeong Il-oh.
Not only Baek Soo-ryong, but also all of his classmates who joined the company became official instructors at Cheongryong Academic Center..
Considering the achievements they had shown so far, it was not surprising, but it was true that it made me happy and proud..
“older brother! My brother is the senior.!”
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations!”
My classmates were more happy and congratulated me than Baek Soo-ryong..
When he first joined the company, Baek Soo-ryong was the tenth of ten new instructors..
But now, his name was proudly at the top.
Baek Su-ryong chuckled..
“Well, take the obvious.”
But perhaps it was true that it felt good, and the corner of his mouth twitched, unable to hide his joy..
In fact, Baeksu-ryong was much more satisfied with being recognized as an instructor than with the Ten Lords of the Murim League, the Supreme Master of the Murim League, or the Taesanghobeop of the North Sea Ice Palace..
‘Although it was still far away.’
There is less than half a year left until the Emperor of Heavenly Wu..
Within this, we must raise the power of the Blue Dragon Academy to the point where it can win the Heavenly War Emperor, and also prepare for war with the Blood Cult. There was literally a mountain of work to do..
“Come on, let's go in..”
Baek Soo-ryong and his classmates entered the Cheongryong Academy proudly..
It was my first day at work this semester..
