Chapter 366
366fury. Came to a peaceful daily life
After the general meeting is over.
Baek Soo-ryong immediately went to Namgung-su’s office..
It was to receive handover materials from Nam Gung-su, who had been the chairman of the Cheon Mu-je proceedings committee for the past few years..
“……This is a compilation of all competition records of Emperor Chun Wu over the past three years. In addition to the Blue Dragon School, a list of students from the Five University School who participated in the competition was recorded, along with their special details and competition records..”
thud!
Namgungsu took out a wooden box containing a pile of documents and placed it on the desk. As the number one workaholic at the Blue Dragon Academy, the amount of data Namgungsu had collected was enormous..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the pile of documents with a slightly bored expression..
“I would believe this is 30 years worth of data, not just 3 years.?”
“We did not do such inefficient organizing. We have collected only information on actual competitors from the time the current Odaegwan students were first year students..”
“You too, really…….”
Shaking his head, Baek Soo-ryong stretched out his hand and looked at the pile of documents..
The longest one was only three years old, and the paper was all tattered. On the other hand, almost no accumulated dust was found..
This meant that until recently, Namgungsu had looked at this document often until the paper wore out..
Baek Soo-ryong, who knew what that meant, raised his head and looked at Nam Gung-su..
“It seems like I prepared hard, but I really wouldn't mind if I were the chairman of the proceedings.?”
“If I say no now, will you step down??”
“That's not it.”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned and pulled the entire wooden box containing the documents towards him..
Baek Soo-ryong was a person who would never lose when it came to his greed for work. The data created by Namgungsu was planned to be put to very valuable use..
“I'm saying thank you for making concessions..”
“There is nothing to be thankful for. Anyway, you have something to pay back personally..”
“What else should I pay back??”
Baek Su-ryong, who was momentarily shocked, narrowed his eyes and looked at Nam Gung-su..
Baek Soo-ryong was completely confused as to whether it was an enemy or a favor. When asked, Namgoongsu always trailed off in a questionable tone..
“Let’s take this opportunity to be clear. I keep paying it back…….”
“But that's not the only reason.”
Namgungsu, who interrupted Baek Soo-ryong's conversation, continued with a somewhat lonely expression..
“I haven't been able to change my Cheongryong Academy for the past few years. I did my best, but my performance in the Emperor of Heaven and the deep-rooted sense of defeat in the Blue Dragon School were still the same..”
“A pathetic bastard…….”
If you say something like that, I can't ask you anything, right?.
Baek Soo-ryong sighed softly, while Nam Gung-su looked at the pile of documents..
“There were times when being said to be the only instructor at Cheongryong Academy seemed like a mockery. Even if I tried on my own, nothing would change. … … I also thought about changing jobs..”
Although he spoke calmly, it was the first time Namgoongsu revealed his true feelings to others..
“but you were different.”
Namgungsu looked up from the pile of documents and stared at Baeksuryong with bright yellow gold eyes..
“A lot has changed in a short time. That is why he gave up the position of chairman of the proceeding committee to Chun Mu-je. 'Cause you're better suited than me.”
“hmm. You know I'm kind of amazing.”
Namgungsu chuckled at Baek Soo-ryong’s shameless answer, which he was now quite used to..
“Except for Cheonmuhakwan, the difference in skills between the students at the other five universities and Cheongryonghakwan is not as big as you might think. The problem was that if you only attended the Cheonmu Festival, you felt intimidated. The matchups were also bad. From the beginning, I had frequent clashes with Cheonmuhakgwan..”
“From the beginning? Please tell me in detail.”
Baek Soo-ryong quickly brought a chair and sat across from Nam Gung-su..
Suddenly, a meeting started between just the two of them, but both of them acted naturally as if nothing had happened. They sat across from each other and began work by looking at documents together..
“Establishing a proper steering committee is a top priority..”
“I have a list in mind for that. First of all, the vice chairman is Nam Gung-su, under him is Poong Jin-ho, and a few of my colleagues.…….”
“It was shameless from the start. Are you asking me to work for you?.”
“You were planning on helping anyway.?”
“……Just as an advisory member..”
Even during vacation, the two often talked about work-related things. Thanks to this, talking about work now feels very natural..
“Submission of the Cheonmuje competition list is after the final exam..”
“There is no reason to rush it. Then it would be better to select candidates and have them compete.?”
“I think that would be good. Last year, the participation rate itself would have been low, but this year will be different.…….”
The two instructors shared not only Cheonmuje but also each other's class content. This was because it was in no way unrelated to forming the Chun Mu-je starting list..
Namgungsu decided to focus on improving the overall abilities of Cheongryong Academy students by teaching many classes this semester..
On the other hand, Baek Soo-ryong planned to focus on only one class this semester. This was where the two people's personalities diverged..
Namgungsu frowned slightly after reading Baek Soo-ryong’s syllabus..
“Are you really going to use the class name like this??”
“why? Is there any problem??”
“……I think the Murim Alliance will like it..”
It was well past one o'clock when the two got up from their seats..
Of course, that wasn't because the story was over, but because of Namgungsu's class later..
“I have to go to class now. Will you still be here??”
“no. Let's go out together.”
The two left Namgoongsu’s office together..
“however…….”
Baek Soo-ryong felt an intimidating aura from Nam Gung-su walking next to him..
In the general meeting earlier, most of the instructors couldn't even make eye contact with Nam Gung-su, and it wasn't just because of his golden eyes..
An arrogant attitude that weighs down the entire space, as if claiming to be the center and king of the world..
It seems like Namgungsu was trying to capture it in his own way, but an energy that he couldn't hide was secretly flowing out..
Namgungsu felt those gazes and asked with a puzzled expression..
“Is there anything more to say??”
Baek Soo-ryong didn’t bother to turn around and ask..
“I think I learned a new martial art.?”
Namgungsu also nodded without denying the fact..
“……When I stopped by my family's home for a while, the head of the family taught me martial arts..”
Martial arts taught directly by Namgung Sega.
When I heard that, I immediately had an idea what kind of martial arts it was..
‘It's a king's sword type... … . If combined with the Thunder Sword technique, it will have tremendous power..’
If the emperor's energy took over the space and the thunderbolts of the sky erupted from the sword, how many warriors in the world would be able to avoid it?.
eat.
A smile formed on Baek Soo-ryong’s mouth..
“I can't let my guard down at all..”
The original instructor of Cheongryong Academy was growing frighteningly strong..
As if he couldn't easily give up his seat to the white water dragon..
Or, as if they will take it away from you at any time if you let your guard down..
And Nam Gung-su's appearance was enough to stimulate Baek Soo-ryong's desire to compete. The eyes of the two men collided for a moment in the air..
“See you again tomorrow.”
“That's right.”
The two people stopped at a crossroads, exchanged brief greetings and turned in opposite directions..
Namgungsu quickly walked towards the classroom, and Baek Soo-ryong headed to the life guidance department. I was planning to go and take a closer look at the documents I received from Namgungsu..
“Hello teacher!”
“I signed up for your class today.!”
“Please buy us food later.!”
Many students approached Baek Su-ryong crossing the main training grounds and greeted him brightly..
first day of school.
The students' faces generally looked excited..
The students were the ones who felt the change in the status of Cheongryong Academic Center the most. As they returned home during vacation, they received numerous questions and envious looks from people around them..
Everyone knew who was responsible for this change..
“Uh, okay. It's been a while. How are you??”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and accepted the greetings from the students..
Among them, there were faces I saw often, and there were also children who gathered up the courage to talk to me..
It was a peaceful daily life and scenery at Cheongryong Academic Center..
But at that time, Baek Soo-ryong felt a presence secretly following him..
‘watering?’
But soon Baek Soo-ryong realized something was strange..
The emotions contained in the gaze felt were far from lifelike..
It's more creepy and sticky than that.…….
Baeksu-ryong soon realized its identity and stopped in place and sighed..
“Dangsoso. Come out here.”
“……Hehehe.”
Slurp.
Tang Soso appeared from the shadows behind the pillar with a grim smile. His movements were so quiet that I thought he had only been honing his stealth skills during the vacation..
Baek Soo-ryong asked with a puzzled expression..
“Why did you secretly follow me??”
Tang Soso smiled and said,.
“I wanted to greet you differently from other students. I also wanted to show how much martial arts has developed..”
Clearly, just by looking at the stealth technique from a moment ago, you could see that his movements had improved significantly. At first, I thought it was a murderer..
Baek Soo-ryong sighed and nodded..
“okay. You trained hard. If I just do a little more, I can survive..”
“Shall I show you the arm technique and the poison technique??”
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head at Tang So-so, whose eyes were shining brightly..
From the first day of school, if poisonous smoke erupted in the middle of the Cheongryong Academy and memorization was allowed to fly, even the White Water Dragon could not avoid the letter of apology..
“See you later in class. signed up for my class?”
“Of course!”
There was Baek Soo-ryong’s class this afternoon..
It was then that I would be able to clearly see how much progress had been made not only by Dangsoso but also by students whom I had not seen in a long time..
“all right. Well, I'll see you later in class..”
Dangsoso, who was about to turn around, said that he remembered something..
“right. There was someone looking for a teacher at the front gate.?”
“me?”
Baek Soo-ryong, who parted ways with Tang So-so, quickly walked towards the main gate..
Soon, I could see a man with a scary face at the main gate, fighting with the guards guarding the main gate..
“I heard you are acquainted with Blue Dragon Credit Union.!”
“Still, I didn't say you shouldn't go in without permission.!”
“That's because it's urgent! You guys are new, right? I used to come here a few months ago too.!”
“I'm checking right now…….”
Short hair and fierce appearance. A short man who couldn't cover up all the scars on his body even with no clothes on..
I could see students around me sneaking away..
No matter how good you look at it, the impression is that you only see Maduro from Sapa who came to collect money..
But Baek Soo-ryong recognized him at a glance..
“iron head?”
He was Cheoldu, the owner of the rehabilitation gate..
Cheoldu turned around at Baeksuryong’s call. And he shouted at the guards..
“See! Because we know each other well!”
“Hmmm…….”
Gaengsaengmun, which had once been nothing more than a gang of male prostitutes' back alley thugs, was now establishing itself as a proper sect..
It was the result of the White Dragon Merchant's Association's funds, Cheongcheon's assistance, and Hao Mun's support..
Nevertheless, Cheoldu, the owner of the Regeneration Gate, was still often misunderstood because of his appearance..
Cheoldu expressed his dissatisfaction to Baek Soo-ryong..
“shit. You let me in just a few months ago, but why are you suddenly doing this??”
“New guards were selected to coincide with the start of school. There was also an official document stating that people who looked suspicious due to blood ties should not be allowed in..”
I feel sorry for Cheol-du, but from the guards' perspective, letting him in was no different from neglect of duty..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at Cheoldu and laughed..
“I've become quite strong?”
“flaw. I guess it's pretty good..”
You could tell just by looking at his amazingly toned body. How much painstaking effort have you put in so far?.
“So, what's going on??”
“Let's go somewhere quiet..”
Only when he came to the back of the building, where there were no people, did Cheoldu carefully take out the letter from his arms and hold it out..
“The old lady at the noodle restaurant told me to give this to you. He told me to bring it to him personally because it was important..”
“The old woman at the noodle shop?”
The old woman at the noodle shop was referring to Nanchang branch chief Hao Wen..
Baek Soo-ryong’s expression became a little more serious as he accepted the letter. The word payment was written on the outside of the sealed envelope..
“Now that I've delivered it, I'll just leave. Please stop by later and check out the kids’ martial arts skills..”
“okay. thanks.”
After Cheoldu returned, Baek Soo-ryong broke the seal on the letter and checked the contents..
After a while, his expression hardened..
“……Elderly.”
The sender of the letter was Wi Ji-yeol, who had infiltrated the Hyeolgyo cult..
