Chapter 374
374fury. leaders (2)
The moment they saw White Water Dragon being attacked, the two disciples instinctively moved their bodies..
““teacher!””
I knew in my head that the White Water Dragon would not be easily attacked by any surprise attack..
Even a surprise attack from the front during a conversation.?
To that extent, it was just a routine occurrence for Baek Su-ryong. Because it was actually something they did every day..
However, the moment the stranger with an unfamiliar face was heading towards Baek Su-ryong, the two disciples could not help but recall what Baek Su-ryong had said in passing not long ago..
-It seemed like the blood cult had sent assassins targeting me. Just in case, you too, be careful. If you see anyone even remotely suspicious, tell me right away..
Baek Soo-ryong said it as if it was not a big deal, but it was a story that those who heard it could not help but engrave in their hearts..
‘That bastard!’
‘Blood Cult Spray!’
The hair of the two boys rushing towards the gunman was blowing wildly in the wind..
At that moment, the stranger's fist pierced Baek Su-ryong's chest, and Baek Su-ryong also stretched out his hand at the same time..
Pabababak!
The gunman's fists were fast and straight. Each attack was cut short, and each attack targeted only the vital points..
However, Baeksu-ryong did not move a single step from his spot and blocked all attacks with just one hand..
I even turned my head to see the Heonwon River and Wijicheon rushing towards me, as if I had some spare time. There was a look of puzzlement on his face..
‘After all, he is our teacher!’
‘There's no way I can be defeated by a killer like that.!’
Heonwon River and Wijicheon, who were running, also felt a little relieved..
But I didn't completely relax.
Killers are people who use poison, memorization, or any means to kill their opponents..
‘Going!’
‘yes!’
The two boys exchanged quick glances..
Since I've done countless joint exercises so far, I didn't need any electromagnetic resonance. The two kicked the floor at the same time. bang! The floor caved in, and their new model accelerated once more..
“hmm?”
Only then did Salsu(?), who noticed their approach, turn his head. He gaped when he saw the two boys running towards him with the same force as a yaksha..
“What, what…….”
Hwiik!
Heonwon River and Wijicheon scattered to the left and right, distracting the opponent's attention, and at the same time, the black sword and sword spirit were struck out like lightning. It was a perfect collaboration that took place in an instant..
‘How great would it be if you got along so well with your team members?!’
‘Even if the group members can only imitate half of their senior Wongang,…….’
In that brief moment, Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon had the same thought..
Before I knew it, the blade of the black sword was aimed at the opponent's uvula, and the tip of the sword spirit was lightly touching the opponent's chest..
“Ha, surrender!”
Salsu raised both palms upward so that they were visible..
Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon were finally able to properly see each other's faces..
But Salsu’s face looked strangely familiar..
The faces looking at them with puzzled expressions are clearly…….
“……Isn't it the head of the Sixth Dynasty??”
“Senior Mok Hyeong-woo?”
He was Mo Hyeong-woo, the leader of the Six Dynasties, who also took Baek Su-ryong's class..
“I think there's a misunderstanding. Can't we just put this aside and resolve it through conversation??”
Mo Hyeong-wu scratched his rough beard and laughed awkwardly. Cold sweat formed on his forehead..
Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon looked at Baek Soo-ryong with confused expressions..
“What are you guys doing now??”
Sighing, the White Water Dragon moved his disciples' weapons aside with the Black Dragon. And he punched the top of the heads of his disciples one by one..
Sigh! Taaak!
“No, I came here to ask the teacher something.…….”
“Suddenly, someone attacked me, so I thought it was an assassin.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the two guys who were covering the top of their heads and making aggrieved expressions with an expression of bewilderment..
“What kind of crazy assassin made a surprise attack in the middle of the training ground??”
“…….”
“…….”
It wasn't hard to guess why these guys came to see him at such a late hour..
‘Because only two of us lost in the group mock match..’
When it comes to competitiveness, I wonder if they were so angry that they were competing to be first among their students..
Moreover, since this is the first time for both of them to have the experience of leading a large number of fighters in a group battle, there will be a lot of frustration as things are not going as planned..
something that was fully expected.
To some extent, this was intentional..
But I didn't know that you would already come to me asking for help.…….
“Let's go to my office first..”
Baek Soo-ryong headed to his office with his disciples..
“Student Mok Hyeong-woo. Don't just go, just follow me..”
“yes. All right.”
Mo Hyeong-woo, who was standing awkwardly, also followed behind the three people..
* * *
Baek Soo-ryong was assigned a new office as he transitioned to a full-time instructor starting this semester..
But today was the first time that students, not instructors, came here..
“It's messy…….”
“Why is there so much trash??”
All kinds of documents were scattered in a messy yet strangely regular manner. There seemed to be some rules that only the owner could see..
The only decoration in the bleak office was a painting of Shinwolbingbaekmu hanging on one wall, and when Pungwol Painter saw it, he would have been scolded for hanging his work in a pig pen..
“just sit there.”
Baek Soo-ryong, who had roughly cleared the table for guests, invited the students to sit down. Three students sat together with an awkward distance between them..
While Baek Su-ryong was making tea, Wei Ji-cheon bowed down and apologized to Mo Hyeong-wu..
“Senior. I was really sorry earlier..”
“haha. If you misunderstood that it was a lifesaver, it could be so. are you okay.”
“But why were you fighting with the teacher??”
“……I asked if you could take a look at my martial arts skills..”
Mo Hyeong-woo scratched his beard awkwardly and said..
The calluses on his palms and his forearms exposed outside his uniform looked very strong..
“As you know, our group is the underdog, right? If I let go, I wouldn't be able to avoid last place. So, despite being rude, I went to see the teacher. I'm somewhat of a leader, but I feel like I have to do something..”
“ah…….”
Although the circumstances were a little different, it could be said that the reasons were similar to those of the two people..
Heonwon River, who had been listening quietly, tilted his head and said..
“But didn’t you use a spear during the mock battle? I heard you were using martial arts earlier..”
“I learned various things in the military. The reason I didn't use the window earlier was…….”
“To see how to use your body as a whole, the best way is to watch Gwon-gak. Come on, drink..”
Baek Soo-ryong brought tea and snacks little by little on a tray..
He sat across from the students and spoke to Mok Hyeong-woo..
“To conclude, it wasn't a bad skill..”
“……thank you!”
Mo Hyeong-woo's expression, who was nervous, brightened slightly..
Looking at that scene, Baek Soo-ryong was once again reminded of his unusual history..
The age of thirty.
At an age nearly twice that of the average student at Cheongryong Academy, the only martial arts skills he learned were in the military. There was nothing to call it a recluse..
“But it wasn't good either. It's awkward.”
The bright expression on his face suddenly hardened and he bit his lip slightly. However, it was a subtle change that only Baek Su-ryong could notice..
“haha. I try hard in my own way, but... … . It seems like it's not enough.”
“Do you really think that what is lacking is effort??”
Mok Hyeong-woo, who was silent for a moment, smiled and answered Baek Soo-ryong's question while looking directly at him..
“If you don't have talent, you have to put in some effort..”
“Hmm.”
It was an answer I liked quite a bit..
Baek Soo-ryong saw many people who got angry or stormed out when asked the same question..
In comparison, Mo Hyeong-woo had an accurate understanding of his own level..
‘That alone means there's a chance it could get better..’
I had a few more questions, but they weren't things I would ask about when other students were around..
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and said.
“you wait a minute.”
“yes.”
Baek Su-ryong turned his head and looked at Heonwon River and Wijicheon..
“So, why did you come??”
“Because of the group assignment.…….”
At first, the two spoke cautiously, paying attention to Mok Hyeong-woo, but later they became very excited and criticized the group members for not cooperating with the task..
“It would be better to do it alone without those kids.!”
“I agree. They're trying to make me do everything, but how can it be a group project??”
After listening to the two's story, it seemed like Baek Soo-ryong had more problems than he thought..
“Hmm…….”
However, Baek Soo-ryong also had nothing to advise on this matter..
In the past, strict obedience to superiors and subordinates was the basis in blood religion..
do not follow orders?
Even if Wi Ji-cheon hit Jo Won's head, he couldn't complain at all..
If you don't like it, you can become stronger than the leader and cut off the leader's head..
Of course, this was an impossible method at Cheongryong Hall, one of the five major halls of the political faction..
Baek Soo-ryong clicked his tongue and muttered lowly..
“Anyway, the problem is that the kids of the political faction are growing well..”
“yes……?”
“There's all this talk about Sapa.?”
In fact, solving the problem facing his disciples was a simple task for Baek Soo-ryong..
Baek Soo-ryong personally calls the students and says a few words, but who would dare to joke around?.
‘But that's the worst way.’
For now, students may submit to Baek Su-ryong's authority and cooperate, but later it will have a bigger negative impact..
These problems should be left to the disciples to solve on their own. Because we collide and grow together..
Even if they offer help, it's just advice.…….
“Phew!”
Mo Hyeong-woo, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the three people, could no longer hold back his laughter..
Then Heon Won-gang frowned and glared at Mo Hyeong-woo..
“Our situation right now is funny?”
“Well, I feel a little sorry to say this, but is this your first time doing a group project??”
Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon nodded with gloomy faces..
Among the students at Cheongryong Academy, only a handful of the most advanced students are struggling with just one group task. The corner of Mo Hyeong-woo’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch..
‘Look at this?’
Baek Soo-ryong looked at his two disciples and Mo Hyeong-woo alternately..
Mok Hyeong-woo, who is twice as old as other students and has extensive experience in organizational society..
On the other hand, the two guys are strong enough to have no rivals in their peers, but they don't get along well with students outside of White Dragon Hall..
“Student Mok Hyeong-woo. Do you have a lot of experience as a leader??”
“Over the past four years... … . I think it's about seven or eight times..”
“Eight times?!”
“Oh, it's great…….”
Heon Won-gang looked horrified at even imagining that number, and Wi Ji-cheon gave Mo Hyeong-woo a look of respect..
“It's no big deal. Because I'm older, I've been the team leader since I was in first grade..”
Mo Hyeong-wu smiled bitterly and scratched his beard..
However, when Baek Soo-ryong continued, his eyes widened in surprise..
“That's good. Wijicheon. Heonwon River. You should learn from Mo Hyeong-wu about the role of a leader..”
“yes?”
“Instead, Mok Hyeong-woo asks these two to spar for guidance..”
“……Yes?”
To Mo Hyeong-woo, who asked with surprised eyes, Baek Soo-ryong smiled and said,.
“This will be helpful to both of us, as we can fill in each other's shortcomings. It's giving and receiving..”
Baek Soo-ryong drank the remaining tea in his teacup and continued speaking..
“As you know, I have a lot of construction work to do. I don't have time to give individual guidance to each student when he or she comes to visit..”
Even Mo Hyeong-woo knew that..
I came here again today, prepared to be rejected by Baek Soo-ryong, and I also thought it was an honor to join hands with him even for a moment..
however…….
‘Are you asking these guys to spar for guidance? Just tell me how to do it.?’
In Mo Hyeong-woo's opinion, Heonwon River and Wijicheon suffered a one-sided loss..
Any warrior would like to receive a sparring lesson from an excellent master. If the opponents were Wi Ji-cheon and Heon Won-gang, who were ranked first among the students, it was no different from chance for Mok Hyeong-woo..
On the other hand, all he could give them was some advice..
“I don't think I'll be of much help.…….”
But that was only Mo Hyeong-woo’s idea..
The two juniors looked back at Mok Hyeong-woo with faces that had at least discovered a rope..
“Senior!”
“senior!”
From the moment they heard that he had led the team eight times in four years, the eyes of the two boys looking at Mo Hyeong-wu were shining as if they had met a retired master..
“Please, senior.!”
“Senior Mok. Teach us the secrets to catching those gangsters.!”
“uh? It's really okay... … ? Just something like this……?”
“of course!”
“Of course!”
Mo Hyeong-woo nodded with a bewildered expression..
