Chapter 44
##44fury. Zhuge Soyoung
Gurgling…….
When I turned to the side at the unusual sound, I saw Ak Yeon-ho with a pale yellow face, clutching his stomach in a hesitant posture..
“Tongue, brother. In the back there……!”
“also?”
“……I'll be back before Il-oh starts sparring.!”
Ak Yeon-ho held his buttocks with one hand, held his hips in a strange posture, opened the air, and disappeared into the crowd..
I clicked my tongue as I looked at my back, which suddenly became smaller..
“A guy like that is also a peak expert.…….”
Does it make sense to have diarrhea in the morning just because you drank a little the night before?.
If you don't drink alcohol that much, you might not drink it, but seeing as how he likes alcohol so much, that guy wasn't normal either..
‘By the way, I came to see you a lot..’
I turned my head and looked around at the students filling the audience seats around the off-stage..
Murmur.
The most fun thing in the world was watching a fight, so many students had gathered there..
I heard that the student council prepared audience seats so that students could evaluate new instructors up close. So, all those guys over there were judges..
……Moreover, so many of them were staring at me that my face felt stinging..
“teacher! Please take a look here!”
“Here too! Please shake your hand just once!”
When I roughly waved my hand, some female students started screaming like they were going crazy..
“Wow!”
“It's not some strange animal…….”
I shook my head and turned my head from the audience and looked around me..
Applicants waiting were either looking at the off-stage where the sparring was in progress with nervous expressions or relaxing in their own way..
“Phew…….”
Among them was Myeong Il-oh, who was next in line, so he was sitting alone, cross-legged, away from us, taking slow, deep breaths..
‘Don't be nervous and just show off your skills..’
In fact, among the three of us, the one who had the vaguest chance of passing was Myung Il-oh..
Even though Ak Yeon-ho had an upset stomach, he easily won against the existing instructor (it was a really strong attack to quickly get to the backroom), and I was also confident no matter who came out..
So, last night, I gave Myung Il-o some advice separately..
‘Unless the opponent is very difficult, there is a chance of winning.…….’
It was then.
“100 million! Ugh! Ex!”
“……First of all, this ridiculous sparring must end quickly..”
When I heard a strange sound coming from the off-stage, I clicked my tongue and looked at the off-stage..
There was a pitifully one-sided fight going on there..
“All right, Dangsuk! Be gentle…….”
“Inoooom! Who is Tangsuk! Call me Deputy Lord!”
Kwak Du-yong ran away in cold sweat and dodged the attack, while his deputy, Kwak Cheol-woo, chased after him and swung his sword like a whip..
Whoa! Huh! Huh!
Because the speed and power contained in that sword were unusual, every time he blocked or dodged an attack, Kwak Du-yong was almost between life and death..
“Can't you do it right? You're causing disgrace to the family all by yourself.!”
“What did I do... … I worked hard…….”
“Shut up!”
……Anyone can see that he is being scolded by the elders in the family..
Even though I had nothing to do with Kwak Doo-yong, I felt sorry for him..
“Huh. That's how they catch people.”
“Just do it in moderation…….”
“I'm so glad I didn't get caught by the lieutenant..”
Perhaps the other applicants had the same thought, and they all looked at Kwak Du-yong with pity..
At that moment, I looked at the statue of King Roh sitting on the left side of the off-stage, in the exact center of the lecturer's seat..
‘Anyway, he's a mischievous guy..’
Deputy Director Kwak Cheol-woo and Applicant Kwak Du-yong.
They were both from the same family..
So, it was clear that Noh had selected the two as sparring partners..
If Kwak Cheol-woo, a member of the same family, pushes it like that in front of everyone, there will be less noise no matter what the result is in the future..
Kwak Cheol-woo also knew this, so he was ruthless..
“conflict! If you are not determined, give up right away! Do you think being an instructor is easy??”
“I really want to do this! I came to my senses!”
“Are you going to quit drinking in the future??”
“……No, I'll try.!”
As if he was truly angry at the ambiguous answer, Kwak Cheol-woo's mood changed completely in an instant..
“This guy still hasn't come to his senses.!”
Grumbling!
Kwak Cheol-woo's Tao was engulfed in flames..
It was his nickname and his name, Fire Sword..
Kwak Doo-yong's face turned pale when he saw the flames fluttering over the blade..
“All, Dangsuk!”
“If you want to teach students here, you will have to show some determination..”
“Ugh…….”
Kwak Doo-yong did not give up even though his legs were shaking..
At that moment, the two people took the same posture, then kicked the floor and rushed at each other..
Of course, the result was a world away..
Wow!!
While Kwak Cheol-woo did not take a step back from the spot where he was hit, Kwak Doo-yong lost his grip and rolled awkwardly on the floor..
Blood trickled down from his torn palm..
Kwak Cheol-woo looked at Kwak Du-yong, who was sitting down with a pitiful expression..
“Ugly guy. go home right now.”
“Poetry, I don’t like it..”
“But this guy? If you really won’t listen until the end,…….”
“Deputy Director. Please stop.”
Before they knew it, the Gyeongsinbeop had been unleashed, and the figure of Noh appeared between the two like a ghost..
“Lee, Lee Hyeong-hwanwi?”
“I couldn't even see how it moved..”
“Truly a 100-year-old master…….”
While instructors and students alike were amazed and amazed, Noh raised the fallen Kwak Du-yong up..
Then he turned his head and looked at Kwak Cheol-woo with wise eyes..
“I have seen enough of the skills of applicant Duyong Kwak. I think this is too much..”
“Lord! With this guy's skills, it's obvious that he's going to cause trouble to the Blue Dragon Academy.…….”
Kwak Cheol-woo kept his mouth shut at the cold look in Roh’s eyes..
“You are not alone in judging that. How long are we going to insert our personal feelings into a test that should be fair??”
“……sorry.”
Kwak Cheol-woo bowed his head and stepped back. Kwak Du-yong also stumbled and got off the stage..
Noh looked around and calmed down the commotion in the room for a moment..
“After clearing the off-stage, we will begin the next sparring immediately. Applicants to Myeongil-o, who are next in line, please warm up now..”
“Phew…….”
Myung Il-oh, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up and slowly relaxed his body..
After seeing this, Noh Gun-sang turned his head and looked at the place where the instructors were gathered..
“I will nominate an instructor who will spar with the Myeongil-Oh applicant..”
If you are Myung Il Oh, you will not lose easily no matter who your opponent is..
I cheered him on from afar with my eyes..
‘Go show your skills..’
Since the vice-governor just came to the sparring, I won't call the adjutant again, and Mei Kei-ryun is managing the students, so he won't be sparring today..
Other than that, Myung Il-Oh had some chance of winning among the instructors..
‘But why… … I'm strangely anxious?’
The true nature of my anxiety was soon revealed..
From the words of the military leader, a problem that I did not include within the scope of expectations came out..
“Teacher Namgungsu. Please prepare.”
When Namgoongsu's name, which had never been called before, was called, the audience began to buzz with anticipation..
Myung Il-oh’s expression was tense and tense..
“yes.”
Shortly after, the great Namgungsu stood up and began to warm up..
I looked at the statue of Noh with bewilderment..
At that moment, Noh Gun-sang, who ran into me, smiled brightly..
I muttered softly to myself..
“Naughty old man. They said it wouldn't work for me…….”
“……Is this what you said after seeing the governor??”
“Then who would it be... … uh?”
Of course, I answered, thinking that Yeonho Akh had returned, but when I turned my head, there was a woman I had never seen standing there..
‘Are you a student??’
She was a woman who looked young enough to make you think that way..
Is he barely over 20 years old??
With both arms, he was holding a large book that could be used as a weapon to his chest, and a judge's pen was hanging from his left waist..
His body was slender. It seems uneasy to stand because of the large book he is holding..
However, the clothes he was wearing, his gait, and his breathing were quite stable..
‘He is a child of a prestigious family..’
The woman said with a frown on her face, as if she was offended by my informal language. So, it was more like a child..
“I think he's older than me, but he still spoke informally when we first met.…….”
“I'm sorry. I thought my younger brother, who went to the back yard, came back..”
“Are you saying my voice sounds like a man??”
“no. The younger brother I know sounds like a woman..”
“…….”
Anyway, she was a woman of great courage..
Because of what I did in the demonstration lecture yesterday, no one around me wants to approach me now..
Because the excessive interest of the students and the disapproving looks of many instructors were directed at me..
Just looking at it now, when a woman approached me while I was alone, her gaze became several times more stinging..
But the woman approached me as if she didn't care what other people thought..
“……Do you have anything to do with me??”
“I know it's rude, but I have a question. Is it okay if I ask?”
I thought for a moment and nodded..
“If I can answer.”
The woman said with her eyes shining brightly as if she was happy at what I said..
“This is the swordsmanship that cut through Tao Pung at the end yesterday. Is this by any chance Mo Yong’s sword method??”
“…….”
For a moment, I couldn't answer and my expression hardened..
‘What is this girl??’
The sword method I used yesterday was a herbal method based on a group of martial arts swords..
And Geomjon, the founder of Mugeukgeom, was from Moyongse..
‘But it's almost impossible to recognize the traces.…….’
“no. I've never been to Moyong's family..”
I didn't lie.
I've never actually been anywhere near Moyongse..
In addition, Master Geomjon was also a person who had severed ties with the Moyong family, so it could not be said that Mugeukgeom was the sword method of the Moyong family..
“Is it true??”
“exactly.”
The woman tilted her head as if she was not satisfied with my answer, and then asked the next question..
“So is this the Kunlun faction’s sword method??”
“…….”
At this point, I became curious about the woman’s identity..
This is because Master Geomjon had a long-term relationship with the hermit of Kunlun and was greatly influenced by him in perfecting his sword..
Knowing that fact after seeing the swordsmanship I displayed meant that my eye for martial arts was truly unusual..
“…… Not even Kunlun’s sword. My sword technique is something I learned from my father and perfected on my own after learning various things..”
Of course this is a lie.
The woman didn't seem to believe it either..
“This is ridiculous. I learned that level of swordsmanship myself.?”
“I also learned it from my father.”
“Is your father the best expert in the world??”
“You are working as a small military officer in the countryside..”
“……If you don't want to answer, say no. That's better than lying.”
To the woman who was looking at me with a puzzled expression, I explained with a small sigh..
“I'll say it again, my swordsmanship is neither that of the Mo Yong family nor that of Kun Lun. In the first place, the nature of the swordsmanship in those two places is completely different..”
“……How is it different??”
Rather than asking because he really didn't know, the look in his eyes was that he wanted to test whether I knew..
‘Look at this?’
As a student who has received numerous questions about martial arts throughout my life, I have never ignored a trainee's challenging questions..
“Moyongse’s sword is soft and slow. Competent steelmaker, latecomer. You've probably heard it a lot. In the end, it can be said that using the opponent's strength or moving after seeing the opponent's attack is the kendo that Mo Yongse pursues..”
The woman's pupils widened slightly at my full-fledged lecture on the subject..
“On the other hand, Kunlun's sword is a practical sword that was perfected hundreds of years ago while building up a bloody history with the Heavenly Demon Church and fighting against its descendants, the Blood Religion. They have a rough and ferocious temperament that makes it hard to believe they are Taoists. Killing the opponent before he even starts attacking, that can be said to be Kunlun's kendo (劍道). There are a few branches here too.…….”
“…….”
I had clashed with the Kunlun faction many times during my blood relationship and actually saw many of their secrets, so I could talk to them all day long if I wanted to..
“…… Therefore, my conclusion is that the swords of Mo Yong and Kun Lun are close to opposites, and it is impossible to mix them. Let me refute this.?”
In fact, it is said that Master Geomzon also had numerous arguments and dances with the hidden person of Kunlun..
And the martial arts sword was created by combining two opposites into one..
‘Normally it's impossible, but it's possible because you're a genius.’
making the impossible possible.
That's the realm of genius, and Geomzon was one of the greatest geniuses I've ever seen..
“Now, wait a minute! I'll write some down.!”
The woman listened to me with her mouth slightly open, then squatted down, opened the book she was holding on her lap, and started writing down something..
‘Are you really taking notes??’
It was the attitude of a true student that is rarely seen, so I nodded happily..
“Hey, I have a question about something you said earlier.…….”
But I didn't intend to continue teaching..
The stares from those around me are starting to feel burdensome..
“I'm sorry, but this is the end of the sword theory lecture. If you want to take the next class, see you in the classroom..”
“I, too, am an applicant for a new instructor.!”
An angry woman looked up at me and shouted.
Just in case…….
I thought he was a student because he looked so young, but he seems to be applying for a new instructor..
“I thought you were a student because you looked young..”
“……Although it hasn't been long since I graduated from the academy,.”
“If you are talking about an academic institution, this is Cheongryong Academic Institution.?”
“no. I am from Cheonmuhakkwan. Now that I think about it, we haven’t even made a full statement yet..”
After finishing writing, the woman stood up and grabbed me..
“This is Jegal Soyoung. This year, when recruiting new instructors, I applied to be an instructor of machine learning and martial arts history..”
Zhuge Xiaoying looked at me with sparkling eyes..
