Chapter 499

499fury. What are you hiding??

“It's Wijicheon. There is an amazing talent hidden in the Blue Dragon Academy..”

This was a compliment that was given countless times by the warriors who had met Wijicheon, but King Yeom was a legendary warrior who was called the Ten Lords in the past. Even if the words were the same, their weight was bound to be different..

King Yan, who was watching Wei Ji-cheon with admiring gaze, turned his head and glanced at Lu Jun-sang..

“Now I understand why your face is pale. Since I've been blessed with that much luck, even if I don't do it this year, I'll avoid being in last place..”

The story is that thanks to just one genius, the Blue Dragon Academy will be able to escape from the disgrace of being last place, which it has suffered for the past ten years. Even if it was only half-joking, it was a huge compliment..

However, Noh Gun-sang shook his head at such praise..

“Heh heh. You shouldn't be surprised already. Besides Chen Yi, there are many children with great talent at Blue Dragon Academy..”

“To be arrogant. Let me just leave it there for now.”

King Yan snorted and turned his head again to look at Wei Ji-cheon..

The boy, who reminded me of the peerless swordsman I briefly passed by in my youth, held his sword carefully with his eyes slightly lowered..

“……They really look alike.”

There were only a very few people who heard King Yan's mutterings. One of them, Baek Soo-ryong, smiled without even realizing it..

‘We can't help but resemble each other.’

He was a student who always reminded me of Master Geomzon and taught him..

Baek Soo-ryong also felt proud as he realized that not only his martial arts skills but also his attitude toward the sword had continued..

“That kid…….”

Sima Ying also looked at Wei Ji-tian with a mesmerized expression, then turned his head to look at Baek Soo-ryong. There was a very unfair expression somewhere..

“You are no longer at the level of a student.?”

“So, I said it earlier. I won't be a match for you.”

Baek Soo-ryong lightly shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking..

“A guy named Joo Yul-sang isn’t bad either. The opponent was just too strong.”

Even though his legs are shaking, he holds the sword tightly with both hands and continues to attack Wi Ji-cheon..

His venom and tenacity deserved recognition. If you keep going in the right direction, you have the potential to become a pretty good swordsman..

Sima Ying laughed helplessly at that evaluation..

“I thought it would be a good match even if I lost... … . It turns out that saying you would win this year's World Cup wasn't just bragging.?”

“Have I ever been bluffing??”

“……I can't say no to someone who has become the Ten Lord after half a year..”

Sima Ying shook her head and went to where the instructors of the Zhou Zuo Academy were. Still muttering to myself that unlucky things haven't changed.

“I can hear everything?”

“Because I told you to listen..”

Baek Soo-ryong chuckled with an expression of bewilderment and turned his head to look at the expressions of the instructors and students of Suzaku Academy..

Actually, there was one thing that bothered me from earlier..

‘Even after seeing Cheon’s skills, he feels strangely relaxed.?’

It was true that everyone was astonished by Wi Ji-cheon's martial arts skills, but he did not look intimidated or extremely wary..

“……Is there a card hidden there too??”

“yes?”

“older brother. What do you mean suddenly?”

As Sima Ying left, Zhuge Xiaoying and Ming Il-o, who quietly approached Baek Su-ryong, asked..

Not only was Baek Soo-ryong unique, but there were very few people who could deal comfortably with Sima Ying. Normally, people would have a hard time with her, who was the granddaughter of King Yeom and was called Yeomhwanachal. Just like you had a hard time with Namgungsu in Blue Dragon Academy.

“I mean Suzaku Academy. It's strange that even when I see Cheoni, I'm only surprised by that..”

“……Can't you see everyone's mouths are open??”

“How much pride do you have for your students?…….”

Whether his classmates were dumbfounded or not, Baek Soo-ryong narrowed his eyes and looked at the Suzaku Academy camp. If you find the source of their composure, you won't be embarrassed even in the Emperor of Heaven..

‘What are you hiding??’

When I made up my mind and opened up my senses, there was a lot of information that caught my senses..

After a while, Baek Soo-ryong’s gaze stopped in one place..

After staying with Sima Xuan, King Yan's grandson and Sima Ying's younger brother, he headed further back..

“……Look at this?”

I was momentarily amazed by Baek Soo-ryong’s expression..

I found out why they were not very wary even after seeing Wei Ji-cheon's dazzling talent..

“When I looked at last year's records, there wasn't anything of great interest.…….”

“Why, why are you smiling like that again??”

“older brother. I don't know what it is, but please be careful.…….”

Zhuge So-yeong and Myeong Il-o, who noticed something unusual, looked at Baek Soo-ryong with anxious expressions, but he was already licking his lips..

[Cheonah. Just listen quietly..]

Wijicheon paused for a moment at the sudden sound of the electric shock..

I was just about to finish the map sparring..

It seemed that Ju Yul-sang could no longer swing the sword. I was dealing with him because I liked his tenacity of not giving up, but even if we continued to spar just by panting like that, it wouldn't be of any help..

[I'll explain later, but from now on you can do as I tell you.?]

Wi Ji-cheon nodded and did as Baek Su-ryong told him without saying a word. First, one corner of his mouth curled up..

eat.

At that moment, Cheongryonggomang trembled at the sight of Wijicheon suddenly turning into a small white water dragon..

Wi Ji-cheon, possessed as Baeksu-ryong, spoke to Joo Yul-sang..

“It's pathetic.”

“……what?”

Joo Yul-sang's face, who was breathing hard, was distorted. The expressions of the students at Jujak Hall who were watching also hardened..

But Wi Ji-cheon didn't care and continued to say what he wanted to say..

“I had high expectations because I heard that he has been runner-up several times in the Tianwu Emperor. Is the level of Suzaku Hakkan this high??”

“I can't shut up!”

Joo Yul-sang, who was collapsing, mustered up all the strength he had and attacked him..

However, there was no way he could do anything with Wi Ji-cheon, who was no match for him even when he was fine, in his exhausted state..

“I guess they feel bad because they provoked me first and I repaid them in kind.?”

Rather, Wi Ji-cheon pushed Joo Yul-sang even more one-sidedly, as if he had tolerated her until now. Unlike up to now, which felt like a map sparring, it was a fight that thoroughly overwhelmed the opponent..

eat.

“Hey, Suzaku Academy is nothing special either..”

The last word was decisive. Joo Yul-sang could not control his anger, thinking that he was weak and that the entire academy had been insulted..

“I'll kill you!”

The sword contains life. No matter how angry he was, his actions clearly crossed the line. Ju Yul-sang's sword aimed at Wi Ji-cheon's heart..

At that moment, even in Wi Ji-cheon’s eyes, there was a dull sense of life..

“……You know this is self-defense.?”

Wei Ji-cheon's sword, smiling coldly, drew an eerie trace. Joo Yul-sang's head was in that trajectory..

“……!”

The moment he saw the smile of Wi Ji-cheon, who had transformed into a sword demon, Ju Yul-sang's body froze and the students who saw that sight screamed..

The moment all students thought they were late.

Whoa whoa-!

The shock wave created when the swords collided caused dust to rise up, briefly blocking the sight of the two people..

As the dust slowly settled, the scene of the crash was revealed..

Wei Ji-cheon's sword was blocked by an unfamiliar sword..

“what. It was a mistake?”

The owner of the absurd voice was neither Wi Ji-cheon nor Ju Yul-sang..

“You were fooled. You handle life very well.?”

A girl with shoulder-length short hair asked, blinking her big eyes. A mischievous spirit could be seen from the freckles all over his face..

“You came forward for no reason. It's so close that I stop without even realizing it... … wait for a sec. Did you do that on purpose??”

“yes. that's right.”

Wei Ji-cheon looked at the opponent's sword with a curious expression, as if his exuding enthusiasm just a moment ago was a lie..

A Songmun sword with a pine tree pattern engraved on its face. It was a symbol of the independent faction among the old factions..

“That sword. I was worried from earlier..”

“I'm sorry, but I don't plan on hanging out..”

“Why??”

“It's annoying.”

The girl smiled brightly and threw Wijicheon’s sword aside. It was a natural movement like flowing water..

dump.

The sound of Joo Yul-sang, who was behind the girl, falling backwards, hitting his butt, was heard. At the same time, time around me seemed to stop flowing again..

“Senior Soha!”

“Senior Yeonha!”

young.

It was the name of the girl who blocked Wi Ji-cheon's deadly sword..

“Could everyone please be quiet??”

When Yeonha opened his mouth, the noisy juniors became quiet as if it were a lie. Just by looking at that one scene, it seemed like he wasn't an ordinary bet..

I also spoke to the young Cheongryong Academy students who turned their heads..

“I will apologize on behalf of my junior for being so careless. So let's stop. It's a fun school trip?”

It was a soft yet strangely difficult voice to reject. The students at Cheongryong Academy also nodded in agreement. The same was true for older students who knew Yeonha and freshmen who saw him for the first time..

There was no need for instructors to step in and mediate. After summing up the boiling atmosphere in a few words, I returned to the camp of Jujakhakkan as if it were quietly sinking in..

It wasn't just the students who were impressed by the sight. Baek Soo-ryong was nodding his head with an expression of admiration..

“As expected, the real one was different..”

At that time, King Yeom noticed something and approached Baek Su-ryong with his eyebrows furrowed..

“you. Did you encourage your student because you wanted to see Soha’s skills??”

If the killing sword aimed at Ju Yul-sang was real, King Yeom would have stepped in to stop it before anyone else..

But I knew it was fake so I left it alone..

Even if you go to a powerhouse, it won't be easy to have that kind of experience..

Baek Soo-ryong also knew that fact, so he nodded without hiding it..

“We can't be the only ones showing off our secret weapon, can we? Conditions must be fair..”

“What? her!”

King Yeom, who was about to get angry at the majesty, just laughed..

“okay. Thanks to you, I had a fun time watching it..”

It was definitely surprising that a boy of that age could handle a flesh sword so freely..

Now that you know in advance, you will be able to find a way to deal with it..

King Yeom said, licking his lips..

“I feel like I want to have a fight between the two of us.…….”

“older brother. I think we'll have to postpone that..”

Noh Gunsang quietly shook his head..

The atmosphere of students glaring at each other was unusual..

Although it was not revealed externally because the instructors were watching, the fight between Wi Ji-cheon and Joo Yu-sang created an emotional rift between the two academics..

“After all, kids grow up fighting with each other. And isn’t competition the driving force behind development??”

King Yan spoke as if it was no big deal, but Nogunsang shook his head resolutely..

“First, let’s leave for the accommodation. If this continues, it will be difficult to arrive before the sun sets..”

“……I can't help it.”

King Yeom felt regretful and returned to the Suzaku Academy camp. The Prime Minister also called the Vice Governor and gave instructions..

“Deputy Director. We also prepare to leave.”

“yes!”

While the two scholars cleared their places and prepared to move again, Baek Su-ryong once again remembered the girl's sword that easily blocked Wi Ji-cheon's sword..

“Combust… … . It was a completely different level than what I saw on paper..”

It could be that the documents related to the Jujak Academy that I had seen before were insufficient, or it could be that I had made great progress in my martial arts skills over the past year..

I thought that maybe on this school trip, I might see a lot of things that weren't recorded in the documents..

* * *

“Just climb over the peak you see over there and you'll be there soon..”

Namgungsu looked at the direction Akh Yeonho's finger was pointing and nodded. The two were performing a light attack together..

There was an awkward atmosphere for a while.

On the way here, there wasn't much time between them without conversation..

Even though most of it was Ak Yeon-ho’s chatter..

“haha. There won't be any problem at the main university.?”

“……Even if you are a white water dragon, it must be difficult in such a short period of time..”

“Wouldn't the students have been so angry that they were being manipulated that they threw it all down??”

“Are we so narrow-minded that we cannot even understand academic traditions?.”

“Well, then maybe Mr. Namgoongsu has also experienced being manipulated in the past?……?”

“…….”

“sorry.”

“I am no exception.”

“Really? Could you please tell me one thing specifically? I'll keep it a secret.”

“…….”

“sorry, sorry!”

As we got closer to our destination, Yeonho became more and more talkative..

It seemed like he was trying hard to lighten the awkward atmosphere, but Namgoongsu was feeling even more strange..

“By any chance, brother Su-ryong came to the office at that time. So I…….”

“Teacher Ak Yeon-ho.”

“yes?”

Namgungsu looked at Akh Yeonho's complexion for a moment and then shook his head..

“nothing.”

The expert, who had reached his peak, was in a cold sweat having only performed this light attack. It made no sense..

“haha. I'm even more curious since you suddenly stopped talking. Was I perhaps too loud??”

“…….”

It was a story about something out there making Ak Yeon-ho extremely nervous or afraid..

Namgungsu quietly looked at the back of Akh Yeonho, who was about half a step ahead..
