Chapter 377
377fury. Leaders (5)-Last
The two students, who were trying to get a free ride on the group assignment, quietly gave up while watching what was going on around them..
“No, we didn't mean to do that.…….”
“haha… … . Why are you with a straight face? With a little joke.”
Wi Ji-cheon, who was thought to be a rookie with only martial arts skills, had a firm tone that seemed to have the power to drive the two away, and even the group members who were on the same side at the last meeting gave them cold looks..
If you had any sense, you couldn't help but notice that the atmosphere had changed..
“To sneak away like that?”
Jeonpung crossed his arms and glared at the two students. He was the first to be recruited by Wi Ji-cheon and took on the role of a bad senior..
“Looking at your current attitude, I don't think it will be of much help in the future. As the leader said, there is no big disadvantage if there are only eight people. Eight people who stick together are better than ten people who have no intention of doing things right..”
There was pressure to apologize properly..
The expressions of the two students who were trying to sneak away became distorted..
Because apologizing to a junior in front of everyone would hurt one's pride..
But there was no other way.
Because I couldn't give up the most popular class this semester..
“……sorry. we were careless.”
“From now on, I will not hand it over to you and will cooperate diligently..”
In the end, both of them took up arms and formally apologized to Wi Ji-cheon..
“I also made a mistake, so I hope we don't have any regrets about this matter..”
Wei Ji-cheon smiled softly and nodded. At the same time, he expressed his gratitude to Jeon Poong, who presented himself as a villain with a glance..
They said it was okay to have at least two people, but it was definitely better to have ten people fighting together than eight people..
“Then, you two, please fight at the forefront with me in the next mock battle. Will you help me??”
“Oh, of course.”
“I'll work hard…….”
The two seniors nodded with uncertain expressions..
In this way, the conflict among the ten members was well resolved, and the ensuing meeting was held in a cooperative atmosphere among the group members, unlike before..
Mok Hyeong-woo and Heon Won-gang, who were hiding in the corner of the guest house and watching Wi Ji-cheon, sighed in relief..
“You can rest assured now.”
“Cheonyi guy. It's pretty good…….”
When things went wrong, I tried to send Jeon Eum or intervene, but thanks to Jeon Pung, a third grader, who gave Wi Ji-cheon strength, things went better than expected..
“It's also luck to meet good staff. It won't be easy if we meet Tenjos during the next mock battle..”
Mo Hyeong-woo scratched his rough beard and laughed. He was looking at Wijicheon with a happy face, as if he was looking at his youngest brother..
Then I turned my head and looked at Heonwon River..
“Now it's your turn?”
“……Let's go.”
Heon Won-gang took a deep breath and stood up..
The two left Baekryong Guesthouse and headed in the direction of the Blueryong Academic Hall dormitory..
Unlike Wijicheon, Heonwongang did not call the team members for a meeting..
The first piece of advice Mok Hyeong-woo gave to Heon Won-gang was to ‘let go of the authoritative appearance.’.
“I'll be hiding over there, so if things don't go well, send a message..”
“……thank you. senior.”
After a while, Heonwon-gang arrived in front of the dormitory and called out a member of the group..
“Senior Heon Won-gang?”
The boy walking towards me with a puzzled expression was first grade student Yeong Ho-sik..
Heonwongang smiled awkwardly and said,.
“Don't call me that stiffly, just call me senior Wongang..”
“Ah, yes…….”
“Hoshik. Do you have time to talk for a moment??”
“……You didn't guess my name wrong this time..”
The first thing Mok Hyeong-woo asked Heon Won-gang to do was to memorize the names, grades, and clubs of his group members..
-Show your group members that you care. And if you have something in common, continue the conversation with that..
Reflecting on that advice, Heon Won-gang brought up the conversation topic he had prepared in advance..
“Are you saying you belong to the Sanggeumyeon? Then we must be familiar with Jicheon.?”
“We did it together during the training camp. We didn't become very close friends. Wijicheon mostly goes with seniors.…….”
“That guy is a little shy.”
“When I started as a swordsman instructor, there was no Yasha.?”
Once a common topic emerged, the conversation flowed easily..
Last time, I wondered why I didn't know such an easy thing..
“What is Sanggeomyeon doing during this Blue Dragon Festival? It's famous for holding big club events there..”
“You are the chairman of Dongyeon, but you don’t know.?”
“Big, big! It was like that. I was the chairman.”
There was no mention of group tasks at all. The first thing to do was to get to know each other by talking naturally..
Rather, Young Ho-sik asked first..
“Senior. You didn't come here for a group assignment.?”
“I'm going to take things slow, get to know each other first, and then.”
“……With me?”
“Everyone, including you.”
Heon Won-gang scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed to say such a thing..
“Last time I went a little too far, right? Since it was my first time doing a group project, I was very motivated. I'm sorry if it felt forced..”
“…….”
Young Ho-sik couldn't find anything to say in response to that honest apology. Heonwon-gang smiled and continued speaking..
“I know my rumor is still not very good. No excuses for that. Instead, I'm trying to work even harder. I won't be rude to the group members, and if you guys give me your opinion, I'll listen carefully..”
“……It's definitely different from what I heard..”
Yeongho-sik looked at Heonwon River with a strange expression..
When I first became part of the same group as Heonwon-gang, I was very intimidated by the fact that I was in the same group as So-moon, a fearsome senior..
However, the appearance of Heonwon River now is far from that of an authoritative senior. You came to me first and apologized. It was a look I had never seen from any of my seniors since entering the building..
“……Besides me, there is another first grader in our group. My name is Seo Jin-woo. Should I call him too??”
“of course!”
Heonwongang smiled broadly and nodded..
Mok Hyeong-woo, who was watching anxiously from afar, smiled happily when he saw that Heon Won-gang was getting along better with his juniors than expected..
“You don't need my help anymore.”
Would it be like this if you had younger siblings?.
Actually, there is an age difference between us that we have nothing to say about being called uncle, but since we are juniors attending the same school, we decided to insist that we are older brothers..
“I guess I should be training in the training hall..”
After a few hours.
Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon came to Mok Hyeong-woo, who was training and sweating in the training hall..
“Senior!”
“senior!”
Wi Ji-cheon and Heon Won-gang, who came to meet their respective team members, had flushed expressions. It was thanks to the fact that things went well, unlike last time..
The two rushed to boast to Mok Hyeong-woo..
“We decided to meet tomorrow one hour earlier than class time and practice together.!”
“Us too!”
“The other group guys, it's all gone starting tomorrow.!”
“Senior Wongang. So, would you like to train with us??”
“uh? That's good!”
Mo Hyeong-woo laughed as they both looked happy like children..
“I'm glad it worked out. I'm glad we can help each other. When we meet in a mock battle later, let's do our best to stick together..”
At that moment, Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon simultaneously looked at Mo Hyeong-woo with expressions asking what he was talking about..
“Why do you act like you'll never see me again? I'm not going to spar for a map.?”
“……Let's keep doing that? why?”
“I still have a lot of things to ask my senior.!”
Now that they have restored their relationship with the group members, Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon can no longer receive much help from Mo Hyeong-woo..
Nevertheless, Heonwon-gang and Wiji-cheon were saying that the map sparring should continue..
‘These guys…….’
Mok Hyeong-woo realized that the two juniors were trying to help him, Dunjae..
And he wasn't tactful enough to say thank you at this moment..
Mo Hyeong-woo nodded vigorously and said..
“good night. I will also tell you more about the role of the leader in the future..”
“That's how it should be!”
“Please continue to look after me.!”
Three faces looking at each other and smiling happily.
There were eyes watching them from quite a distance..
“children.”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at his students from the rooftop of the student council building and smiled..
While working overtime, I came out to get some fresh air and found my students and was watching what they were doing..
“It seems like the leadership issue has been resolved well..”
“What are you doing here?.”
Baek Soo-ryong turned to the side at the sound of a cold voice, and before he knew it, Namgungsu was standing next to him..
“I came up to get some fresh air after working overtime. you?”
“I felt a suspicious presence on the rooftop..”
Baek Soo-ryong, who laughed at the absurd Namgung-su joke, suddenly became curious and asked:.
“Namgoongsu. Have you ever encouraged it when you were in school??”
“Of course there is.”
In response to the short and concise answer, Baek Soo-ryong asked a question with a feeling of curiosity..
“So, what did you do when the group members did not follow the control during group work??”
Namgungsu thought about his past experience for a moment, then tilted his head as if he didn't understand..
“Team members not following control? I'm not sure because I've never experienced anything like that..”
His expression was that he had no idea, that he couldn't even imagine such a thing..
Baek Soo-ryong nodded as if he knew that would happen..
“Isn’t that true too? My students. He was worried about something like that. This is something I have never experienced before, so I need some advice..”
“Hmm. Even if you have excellent martial arts skills, there are often cases where your leadership skills are poor..”
“If they don't listen, isn't it enough to make them listen??”
“I don't know because I've never done that in the first place..”
“my words.”
They were two instructors who spoke quite seriously about stories that others would say were unfortunate..
* * *
<The second day of class for the Great Blood War Mock Battle..
Students began to gather one by one in the main training hall..
The students who won the first class had confident smiles on their faces, and the students who lost the last class had venom in their eyes..
“Let's show our spicy taste to those who humiliated us last time.!”
“Let's show it!”
“Today we both win! Let's push down the noses of those arrogant bastards.!”
“Press it down!”
In the past few days, Heonwon-gang and Wijicheon have appeared side by side in good spirit..
They both had so much spirit that the group members who followed behind them couldn't even raise their heads in shame..
“Why is the shame ours?…….”
“Our leader is okay.?”
After all the students gathered in their groups, Baek Su-ryong and the instructors finally appeared..
“Everyone's eyes have improved.”
Baek Soo-ryong looked around at the students with keen eyes..
He knew that all the groups had met separately and worked together since the last mock battle..
Heonwon River and Wiji Bay are not just running around hard..
None of these students was playing quietly..
“There is no need to talk much. I will call the group that will participate in the first mock battle. Article 4.”
“Here it is!”
Heonwon-gang shouted with all his might and walked forward with great strides..
Nine students with solemn expressions followed behind them..
“senior! cheer up!”
Wijicheon put both hands together and cheered for Heonwongang..
We were always close, but in the past few days, we were literally like blood brothers..
Since we trained together to avenge our past defeat today, I couldn't help but feel even more sorrowful..
And the person who knew that fact better than anyone else was Baek Soo-ryong..
Therefore, there was no hesitation in deciding on this matchup..
“Ten trillion. Come out and get ready too..”
“……Really?”
“Oh really!”
The two disciples swore all they could with their eyes, but Baek Soo-ryong just crossed his arms, raised his chin, and made a 'What?' expression..
“I should have expected that yesterday's friend might become today's enemy..”
In the end, the friendly brothers met on a single tree bridge..
“Jicheonah…….”
“Senior Wongang…….”
Let's win next time, how desperate have we been training together?.
……So I couldn't give in any more..
It was obvious that whoever loses here will be made fun of until the next class..
Heonwongang, who had strengthened his resolve, said.
“Let’s put aside our personal feelings for a moment.”
“sorry. I will win today.”
“……This cocky little guy.”
“Just because you're tall doesn't mean you're strong.”
The two boys' eyes suddenly changed at the same time..
There were no more friendly brothers. There were only yakshas who were blinded by victory..
“let's go!”
“According to plan!”
Heonwon- gang and Wijicheon led their team members and clashed at the forefront. Contrary to his appearance of being excited, the way he fought while paying attention to his group members was clearly different from the last time..
“It's worth watching.”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and looked at his disciples..
Of course, they still lack a lot, but they were more excited about this time than the last time and the next time more than this time..
By the time this semester's classes are over, you will have become a mature warrior who can take responsibility for someone's life..
‘Just over three months until the end of the semester.’
A happy smile appeared on Baek Soo-ryong’s lips at the thought that he would be able to see his disciples who had grown much further at the end-of-the-year Tianmu Festival..
