410fury. a golden opportunity

“Get out of my office right now.”

Kwaang!

In the end, he was kicked out by Namgungsu and returned to Baekryongjang..

“There's no way they'll kick you out just because you laughed a little.?”

Baek Soo-ryong grumbled and read the letter Gongsun Soo sent again..

By the time this letter arrives, it will likely be after the Blue Dragon Festival has ended..

I heard that thanks to you, this year's Blue Dragon Festival will be a huge success. If I hadn't taken a leave of absence, I would have been there to help out, but it was such a shame..

Even when he didn't read the sender, Baek Soo-ryong could tell who the sender was..

A handwriting equal to that of a warrior and a tone that is friendly yet conveys your experience..

Above all, as far as Baek Soo-ryong knew, there was only one student who would mention ‘leave of absence’..

Do you know that these days, rumors about the Blue Dragon Credit Union reach even the Imperial Palace??

What are the ten martial arts zones?!

You have a knack for surprising people even when they are far away..

Heh heh. Now I see that I got tutoring for a very cheap price..

Please forgive me for once suspecting you were being ripped off..

……But, do they still offer tutoring at that price these days??

Baek Soo-ryong giggled at Gongsun Soo’s annoyance that could be felt in the writing room..

“It's still the same.”

Most of the contents of the letter were about asking how I was doing after a long time..

Gongsun Su, who returned to the imperial palace, said that he was very busy. In the meantime, he often heard news about the Blue Dragon Academy and the White Water Dragon, but all the rumors he heard were so hard to believe that he dismissed them as nonsense at first..

However, as most of the rumors turned out to be true through various channels, it was written that these days, hearing rumors about Cheongryong Academic Center and Cheongryong Credit Union has become a great pleasure in life..

I couldn't be more proud of the fact that this old man belongs to the Blue Dragon Academy..

However, I was so upset that I couldn't play an active role with my classmates.!

In his handwriting, which was written with a lot of energy, perhaps because he was excited, it seemed like he was happy about the increasing reputation of Blue Dragon Academy and Baek Su-ryong, as if it were his own business..

Heh heh. It's been a while since I said hello, so I got excited without even realizing it..

If Young had seen this, he would have scolded me and told him to stop making excuses..

……Anyway, I'm doing well..

I'm still practicing as you taught me every single day, and although it was difficult at first, I've gotten used to it and it's quite easy to do..

Heh heh! Isn’t this really a huge step forward??

A smile formed on Baek Soo-ryong’s lips..

There is no better compliment for a teacher than to be told that a student has not forgotten what he taught..

“Training is worth it…….”

Baek Soo-ryong had a subtle expression for a moment, but then continued reading the story..

Actually, the reason I picked up the brush like this is because there is someone who wants to meet you and I want to arrange a meeting..

Although not as many as before, there are still quite a few people visiting Baekryongjang these days..

However, unlike in the past, Baek Soo-ryong, who had solidified his status as one of the Ten Lords and even held the position of commander-in-chief of the Murim Alliance, was a person whom anyone could no longer meet without permission..

Please forgive me for arranging the meeting without asking you first..

But I hope this meeting will help you, and I'm sure it won't hurt you..

‘Who wants to meet me??’

Gongsunsu did not tell Baeksuryong who would come to visit him..

I don't know if he thought it would be better to meet him in person rather than hear it from him and judge it in advance, or if he just wanted to surprise him..

It seemed like it was the latter..

Sooner or later he will come find you.

I wanted to see your surprised face... … . It's a pity I can't go with you. It's a shame.

The content of this rather long essay was coming to an end..

Gongsunsu's regret was conveyed in his writings..

Wongang, please say hello to Cheoni too..

I don't know when I will be able to return after my work at the imperial palace is over, but I am watching and cheering you on from afar..

Someday, I look forward to meeting everyone again at the Cheongryong Academic Center..

I guess I'll stop here..

“I'm looking forward to it too.”

Baek Soo-ryong smiled and folded the letter and put it in his arms. I felt my heart suddenly become warm..

“Because he wants to meet me…….”

They said they would come from there sooner or later anyway, so I decided not to pay much attention to it..

Baeksu-ryong decided to return to Baekryongjang and write a reply right away..

It was because I was concerned about one part of the writings of a disciple who had gone far away..

‘The training method I taught you is worth it.?’

This is a training method that was devised when he was a frail old man, so he would have gotten used to it by now..

So shouldn't it be time to move on to the next step??

It is a training method that is more intense and difficult enough to be said to be worth doing even as a joke, but is definitely effective..

“I'll have to reply as soon as possible..”

Thinking of teaching Gongsunsui a new training method, Baeksuryong's steps became faster and faster..

The expression on Gongsunsu's face when he will receive a reply soon will not be very good, though..

* * *

next day.

Cheongryong Omang was sweating and training at Baekryongjang while Baeksuryong was away..

“lower pressure!”

Heonwongang's sword, which rushed forward with great spirit, aimed at the opponent's shoulder. Although it was a wooden sword for practice rather than a black sword, its force was as ferocious as that of a wild beast..

However, Heonwon River's sparring opponent seemed displeased, frowned and lightly struck away the attack..

It was Dok Go-Jun..

“You seem to have a lot of idle thoughts..”

“It's noisy!”

Heonwon- gang, who was moved by Dok Go-jun's remarks, launched a series of attacks. The wooden sword clawed in all directions like the claws of an animal, tearing the air..

Although the wounds inflicted by Salsu have not fully healed yet, Heonwongang's movements were still powerful and agile..

However, the movement seemed somewhat disorganized and uneasy. A normal student would have suffered without even noticing the fact, but Dok Go-jun was not an average student..

“Heonwon River. Stay focused. If you don't concentrate…….”

whirring!

Dokgojun's wooden sword parried each of Heonwongang's ferocious attacks and penetrated into one point. The Chosik of Dokgogu Sword, which is imbued with the secrets of a heavy sword, exquisitely pierced the middle part of the wooden sword..

Pop! And Heonwongang’s wooden sword broke. With that momentum, Dok Go-jun pushed Heonwon-gang, and eventually Heonwon-gang, who had been pushed back, hit his butt and fell..

It was an inexcusable defeat..

“Rather lie down and cool your head..”

“ha…….”

Heonwon-gang, lying down, was out of breath. And he grumbled while wiping his sweat with the towel Dok Go-jun gave him..

“You didn't win this. I didn't even use my strength, and I'm still injured..”

“think what you like.”

Dok Go-jun shook his head and looked around..

The training ground, which was in ruins due to the fight against water spray, was leveled again. Above, the Blue Dragons and Five Mangs were each sweating and training, but they all had one thing in common..

‘Everyone has a bad look on their faces..’

The congressman told us not to overdo it just yet, but no one listened to him..

It wasn't just Heonwon River. I felt like I couldn't bear it because I was so frustrated if I didn't at least practice. So, I sparred as if to vent my anger, or forced myself to focus on training..

“Are you very disturbed??”

To Dok Gojun's question, Heonwongang looked blankly at the passing clouds and then answered..

“……But I thought it would be of some help now..”

“…….”

No matter how much they fell under the enemy's spell and even if they had no memory of it, the fact that they had tried to kill Baeksu-ryong was a great shock to the disciples..

As a result, Baek Soo-ryong was safe, but his complexion was not good recently, probably because he had overexerted himself during the fight..

We stayed together for over half a year, and it wasn't like the disciples would have noticed that much..

“Moreover, teacher Namgoongsu almost got hurt because of us.…….”

As soon as he found out about the situation, Cheongnyonggomang went to see Namgungsu, but was immediately kicked out..

-Do you think your attacks will reach me? Stop talking nonsense and focus on recovery..

This put me at ease a little, but it didn't mean the guilt went away completely..

“Instead of helping, it's just a hindrance. Teachers got hurt because of us... … . shit. I'm tired of being protected now.”

Dok Go-jun did not comfort Heon Won-gang..

I just sat down next to him and looked up at the sky together..

It was full fall. A cool breeze passed through my hair..

“……I'm also upset.”

Dok Go-Jun's voice was heavy and subdued..

When Heon Won-gang turned his head and looked at his profile, he saw Dok Go-jun, his fist clenched, glaring fiercely at the sky..

“You guys even had a fight. As the student council president, I had to watch as the Blue Dragon Academy was attacked..”

While Baek Su-ryong hunted down assassins with his trusted people, the vice-governor and other instructors protected and controlled the students who remained in the academy..

The instructors did not allow students other than Cheongryong Omang to join the fight against Salmak..

The same was true for Dok Go-Jun. No matter how much he was the best reviewer and student council president at Cheongryong Academy, he was a student who needed to be protected by the instructors..

“Well, what is it? We were the target of the assassins in the first place, so we acted as bait, and you didn't have to fight..”

Heon Won-gang, who was a little embarrassed, scratched his cheek and said, but Dok Go-jun shook his head with an indignant expression..

“If my martial arts skills were strong enough, I could have helped you by participating in the fight against the assassins. But the fact that I couldn't do that means I'm not yet at the level of trusting my teachers..”

“……Why are you blaming yourself so much??”

“I'm not blaming myself, I'm just stating the cold reality. Heonwon River. We are still immature. Not only you and me, but all the students at Cheongryong Academy will look like children thrown into the water by the teachers..”

“…….”

The once noisy gymnasium had suddenly become quiet..

Cheongnyonggomang, who was each engrossed in his training, was looking at the two people..

“but.”

Dok Go-jun stood up and looked at them..

In fact, he came to Baekryongjang at the request of Baeksu-ryong..

The request was not to help Cheongryonggomang regain his strength..

Dok Go-jun simply wanted to convey his apologies to the injured students and his resolve..

“I have no intention of remaining a child forever. If something like last time happens again, I will fight my enemies. I will no longer stand by and watch the students of Blue Dragon Academy get hurt..”

Dok Go-jun had a sense of responsibility and mission as the student council president..

Even if each of the Blue Dragon Five Mangs was just as strong or stronger than himself, he didn't want to stand behind them..

“……My junior is right. You can't be a child forever.”

Geo Sangwoong sighed and nodded..

He also felt bad because Heon Won-gang, Yeo-min, and Wi Ji-cheon were relatively injured..

It was because of regret and regret that he would have prevented Salsu's attack on behalf of his juniors if he had come to Baekryongjang that day..

But there was no point in regretting the past..

“Now, let’s quickly shake off the past and practice properly.!”

Geo Sang-woong made Heon Won-gang stand up and slapped the backs of the other sagging juniors one by one with the palm of his hand..

“Ugh!”

“It hurts!”

“I need to kill someone?!”

Everyone was in so much pain that it brought tears to their eyes, but thanks to that, the depressed mood disappeared..

Everyone felt the same way.

Not only will staying like this now be of no help, but the only thing they need to do to prevent something like this from happening again is to become stronger..

“I'm glad you found it helpful..”

Dokgojun chuckled as he looked at Cheongnyonggomang, whose mood had suddenly become brighter. And he spoke to Geo Sang-woong, who was the only person senior to him here..

“I should have told you about this a long time ago, but I plan to come to Baekryongjang every day until classes resume..”

“We're good! Let's practice together!”

Cheongnyong Omang welcomed Dok Gojun, thinking he had come to train with them..

However, there was a real reason why Dok Go-jun wanted to come here every day from now on..

“So, I will do my best, and starting today, I will teach you basic math for half a day every day..”

“What, what?”

“Wait a minute!”

“Oh, no, why did you do that??”

Heon Won-gang, Wi Ji-cheon, and Ya Su-hyeok's eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake..

Dok Go-jun said with a puzzled expression..

“Did you really not know? Teacher Baek Soo-ryong himself requested this. It seems you were impressed by the intellectual ability you showed in the Blue and White match..”

“…….”

While the three in front were shocked and speechless, Geo Sangwoong nodded with a determined expression..

“I see. It's faster than I thought, but there's nothing I can do about it.…….”

“I'm setting the mood as if I'm learning something great?”

The only one who looked at the idiots with an expression of bewilderment was shaking his head..

But Dok Go-jun's words did not end there..

“Not only me, but seniors Dang So-so, Yu-ran, and Mo Hyeong-woo will also visit periodically to teach you the common sense and culture you lack. Since this is something that Teacher Baek Soo-ryong personally asked me to do, I will do my best. Then shall we start class right away??”

“Uh, that's it…….”

“Can't we just take a break??”

“I haven't even started yet?”

“Because preparing your mind is not easy.…….”

Cheongryonggomang was already trying to escape, but he had no intention of running away..

“You'd better learn from me now. The teacher said he would come back and check the progress of the class himself..”

““Ugh…….””

Until the Cheongryong Academic Center was normalized and classes resumed, Baek Soo-ryong decided to focus on educating his students on the common sense and culture they lacked..

Coincidentally(?) everyone was injured, so it was a perfect opportunity to study..

It was then that a customer came to Baekryongjang..
