Chapter 515
515fury. The gazes facing each other
King Yeom seemed to be worried and brushed off his thick beard..
“I don't have anything to give to you who bear my token of gratitude... … . Should I at least bridge the gap with my granddaughter??”
“grandfather!”
Sima Ying was disgusted by his grandfather’s mischievous jokes..
Baek Soo-ryong also shook his head with a perplexed expression, and the reason was clear..
“it's okay. Anyway, I’m planning to join Cheongryong Academy next year..”
“yes? When did I…….”
“Don't you remember? You decided to change jobs if Blue Dragon Academy won the Tianwu Emperor..”
“under…….”
Sima Young laughed, recalling the conversation they had when they parted ways from the Namgung family..
-In Tianmuje, how about the one with the lower grades changing jobs??
That's exactly what it was about.
As if it were obvious, Baek Soo-ryong changed his words to 'If the Blue Dragon Academy wins'. Sima Ying didn’t even think about correcting him..
“Clue. A man must have that level of ambition..”
King Yan brushed his beard and asked Baek Su-ryong if he wanted anything after winning the bet..
King Yeom, one of the Ten Lords of the previous era, had wealth, honor, outstanding military skills, and great personal connections..
But it was the same for Baeksu-ryong, also known as Blue Dragon Credit Union..
‘Rather, I'm curious..’
He has martial arts skills so strong that he is called the Ten Masters at a young age, he is the leader of the Murim Alliance, he is the benefactor of the Namgung family, and he is called the brother of openness. What does this young hero want from him?.
So I said it as a joke. Sima Ying's beauty would be enough to sway any man. To my dismay, I didn't expect him to reject me without changing his expression at all..
“If we make a request, would you be able to come to Cheongryong Academic Center and give a special lecture like today? It's a bit disappointing to do it once, but I think it would be better to do it three times..”
King Yan looked blank for a moment at the completely unexpected request..
“……The more I look at it, the more I like it. If you ask me the same thing, I'll gladly agree..”
“I like it too.”
This man is truly a teacher. When King Yeom found out about this, a smile came to his face..
“Since this is a bet that students will participate in, it would be an appropriate reward..”
“Students?”
The students who were sitting and resting casually pricked up their ears at those words..
King Yeom looked around at the students and said.
“The bet I would like to propose is that the Suzaku Academy and the Blue Dragon Academy will select a few sports and compete to determine the winner or loser..”
The students' eyes widened when they heard the word "confrontation," and they soon began to look at the opposing camp. Some students with strong competitive spirit have already started to stand up and warm up..
King Yeom, who saw that, laughed and continued speaking..
“Since it's a little fun to enjoy during the interlude, why not choose just three events and compete against them? Whoever wins twice first wins the bet..”
Because of Baeksu-ryong and Yeomwang's rampage, the morning training schedule ended earlier than scheduled..
Because of this, time was left empty until lunchtime, and King Yeom suggested that they use the interlude to have a brief competition..
It remains to be seen whether it will really end that simply..
“Sounds fun.?”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded with an interesting expression..
It was an opportunity to properly compare skills with Suzaku Academy, so it was something I wanted to suggest..
“How do I decide on a stock??”
“We pick one item, you each pick one item... … . Why not decide the remaining one by flipping a coin??”
“I'm good.”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and looked back at the students at Cheongryong Academy..
Most people were interested in the sudden bet, but this was not the level Baek Soo-ryong wanted..
‘You must be determined to win.’
There was a need to further motivate students..
Baek Su-ryong, who suddenly thought of a suitable method, grinned and asked King Yeom..
“Can I add one more thing here??”
“tell me.”
“For today, the students of the academy that won this bet will call the winner “senpai.” Regardless of grade. How about?”
“what……?”
At those words, not only King Yeom but also the instructors who were listening around him opened their eyes wide..
Of course, the students' reaction was the most intense..
“If you lose, call them seniors.?”
“Regardless of the grade?”
“I hate it so much…….”
There were quite a few students who were disgusted by imagining what would happen if they lost..
However, there were more students whose eyes lit up as they remembered what it would have been like to win..
Surprisingly, both sides had the same atmosphere..
“Those kids call us seniors.?”
“What's the problem? You just have to win.”
“Now let's show you what we've seen!”
Sparks flew from the eyes of the students sitting on the left and right. As Baek Soo-ryong intended, the atmosphere began to boil..
“her. The Blue Dragon Academy considers us as worthy opponents... … . This feels so different..”
King Yeom laughed helplessly and asked Nogunsang..
“What do you think? Even if Blue Dragon Credit Union accepts it, you can say no..”
Noh Gun-sang, who was listening to the conversation between the two with interest, smiled and nodded..
“How could you not like it? But, does that bet include you and me??”
“what? This guy or that guy… … . Are you coming? If Blue Dragon Academy wins, I will gladly call you brother.!”
Once permission was obtained from the Minister of Labor and Military Affairs, the work proceeded smoothly..
The first competition event was first selected by the Suzaku Academy..
“We will compete against just one herbivore, and the one with more power will win. Let there be only one representative each..”
King Yeom really seemed to think of this bet as entertainment. He called the Yue family's warriors and asked if he could get thick iron plates. After a while, the Yue family's warriors brought two large iron plates that were more than an inch thick..
It was an unexpected confrontation, but Baek Soo-ryong nodded obediently..
“great. Are there any restrictions on grade, age, or martial arts??”
“There is none. We'll let third grader Sima Hyun go..”
When Sima Xuan stepped forward on the side of Zhou Zuo Scholar, cheers erupted from the camp of Zhou Zuo Scholar..
Wow!!
Samaheoneoeon!
When the boy, who was sure to grow up to be a devoted young man who would steal the hearts of many women in the future, appeared alone, Paparakji was greatly shaken at the Blue Dragon Academy..
‘The power of martial arts must be great since it has continued the progress of King Yeom..’
All martial arts used against Geukyangjigi had excellent destructive power. Among them, if it was the divine skill of King Yeom, who was competing for the best in the world, he would definitely have a great skill..
Baek Soo-ryong was worried for a moment..
Because it was not simply a martial arts competition, there were more things to consider than expected..
‘If the side is simply stronger, it would be better to send out one of Geo Sang-woong or Ya Su-hyeok rather than Wi Ji-cheon or Heon Won-gang..’
If you are a black and white twin who has recently started learning fierce fighting, you will be able to show a blow as powerful as anyone else..
It was a time when Baek Soo-ryong was contemplating who to send out between Geo Sang-woong and Ya Su-hyeok..
“teacher. Please leave me out of this fight..”
Dok Go-jun, who approached with serious eyes, was asking Baek Soo-ryong to participate..
Sword Dragon Dokgojun.
Although it is not a hand that can guarantee victory, there is no doubt that it is a late index representing the Blue Dragon Academy..
Even when Cheongryonggomang did not stand out, he always maintained academic principles and was qualified to lead the way..
Baek Soo-ryong looked into the boy's eyes for a moment and nodded..
“Student council president. Go and win.”
“yes.”
Dok Go-jun, who answered lowly, turned and walked towards the iron plate installed in the center..
Wow!!
Dokgojuuun!
The support for the student council president did not stop with shouts..
Dangsoso directly led the dance club’s question and answer dance and came out to cheer..
“The pride and treasure of Cheongryong Academic Museum! Sword Dragon Dokgojun! Cheer up! win!”
Behind the Dangsoso, the members of the Q&A dance danced a group sword dance, imitating the Dokgogu sword, and Dokgojun's face turned bright red when he saw it..
“Vice President! They're going to embarrass me and make me lose.?”
“Not at all? I'm going to stay like this until the president wins.?”
Seeing Dang So-so imitating Dok-go-gu sword while holding a sword that he normally does not hold, Dok-go-jun resolved to end this fight as quickly as possible..
“……I'm so embarrassed that I'm not even nervous anymore..”
“haha. It's a fun student council..”
As Sima Hyun smiled and spoke, some of the Papa Rock Ji members who saw him started drawing as if they were possessed..
“This is Dok Go-jun, the student council president of Cheongryong Academic Hall..”
“This is Sima Hyeon, the student council president of Jujak Hall..”
Dok Gojun and Sima Hyeon.
The two student council presidents stood facing each other, took arms, then turned and stood in front of a thick iron plate..
“Whoop… … . Let's get started.”
As expected from the matchup suggested by Zhou Zuo Xuanguan, Sima Xuan took the first step. He took out a fan and began to release the chosik with a smooth dance-like movement..
Grumbling!
Following the movement of the fan swimming in the air, flames gathered together in the air, and gradually grew larger until it became a sphere the size of a human head. At that moment, Sima Xuan, who floated into the air, slammed the fireball towards the iron plate..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The thick iron plate crumbled in the flames and then roared backwards. It passed with a sound. Traces of half-melted iron remained intact on the iron plate..
“……That's amazing.”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded with small admiration, and Sima Young looked happy next to him..
“I'm not saying this because he's my younger brother, but he's good enough to get into the dragon peak at this year's Tianmu Festival..”
Even though he was given unlimited time to perform herbivorous attacks, even Baek Soo-ryong had no choice but to admit that the power of a single-hit killing power was difficult to achieve at the level of the late index..
‘I understand why King Yeom asked for this fight..’
As this is their first match, this probably means that they will make sure to take the lead..
Wow!!
The students of Jujak Hak-gwan, confident of victory, erupted in cheers. On the other hand, the students of Cheongryong Academy who saw power beyond imagination became quiet for a moment..
However, regardless of the atmosphere, Dok Go-jun raised his sword..
“It's a poisonous sword. In the past, the family was called the best in the world, but now that reputation has faded.…….”
“But now.”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at Dok Go-jun taking a nose-to-tail stance and spoke with a confident voice..
“One day, there will come a day when Dokgogugeom will be re-evaluated because of that guy..”
“…….”
At that moment, Dokgojun's sword began to vibrate..
The enormous power contained within the sword was unable to be controlled and was trying to rush out. Dok Go-jun held on to it and put more strength into the hand holding the sword..
“good.”
As if Baek Soo-ryong's voice was a signal, Dok Go-jun took a step forward and swung his sword from top to bottom..
For a split second, I had the illusion that his sword looked dozens of times bigger than it actually was..
Whoa whoa!
The steel plate could not be completely cut in half. For that, the years Dok Go-Jun had accumulated were not ripe enough, and his sword skills were not sharp enough..
However, the sword that tore the iron plate vertically and stopped halfway was sufficient proof of the power of the Dokgogu Sword..
Wow!!
This time, it was the turn of the Cheongryong Academy students to burst out in laughter. On the contrary, the Suzaku Academy was silent..
“what? what happened?”
“So who won??”
Most of the students were unable to determine the superiority of the two, but the expressions of the instructors were mixed with joy and sorrow..
Baek Soo-ryong looked back at King Yan with a calm expression and said,.
“The first match is Sima Xuan's victory..”
“……It was a slight difference. The child of the Dokgo family, you are brave..”
King Yan said that with sincerity. His gaze turned to Dok Go-jun, who was bleeding from his palm..
Even though I almost broke my wrist, I did not let go of my sword until the end. Regardless of age, he was worthy of respect as a military man..
But defeat was defeat.
Dok Go-jun approached Baek Soo-ryong and bowed his head..
“Sorry, teacher. You trusted me, but I let you down…….”
Even while Dang So-so was making a fuss and wrapping bandages around him, Dok Go-jun could not bear to raise his head..
Baek Soo-ryong patted the boy on the shoulder as if it was no big deal..
“Just win next time. Because the real stage is Cheonmuje.”
“……yes!”
Dok Go-jun finally raised his head and answered powerfully..
Although I was defeated, I was not frustrated. I was planning to keep my eyes wide open and watch Suzaku Hakkwan's skills in the ensuing battle..
If it weren't for Heonwon-gang coming next to me and making fun of me, I would have been able to continue with such a solemn heart..
“You asked me to let you go, showing off, but you came back with it??”
“…….”
“From now on, if anyone asks, you will say that you are the student council president of Baekho Academy. okay?”
“……stop it.”
“uh? Are you giving orders to Chairman Dong-yeon now? On the topic of the student council president who burst out in laughter?”
“Stop it, you bastard.!”
In the end, Dok Go-jun exploded and rushed at Heon Won-gang, which relieved the atmosphere that had almost become overly serious..
“……It's not easy either.”
Baek Soo-ryong laughed at the sight and chose the second match..
“The second event will be a light ball competition. This time, let’s send out only one person and compete..”
“Huh. How can it be this elaborate?.”
As King Yan looked, Sima Xuan cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed and stepped forward again..
“older brother…….”
At the look of Noh Kun-sang narrowing his eyes, King Yan shrugged his shoulders and made an excuse..
“Wasn't there something that said the same student shouldn't come forward again? What if Hyeon-i is actually the fastest student at Jujak Academy??”
The students and some instructors at Cheongryong Academy looked shocked, but Baek Soo-ryong nodded as if it didn't matter..
“Well, that's good. As long as you don't make excuses later that you lost because you were tired..”
“That won't happen. Who are you going to kick out of Cheongryong Academic Center??”
When Baek Soo-ryong turned around, a woman with her hair tied up was walking out..
“We will send out female students from this grade..”
From the moment the word “light-gong competition” came out, it was a woman who guessed that it was her turn. She lightly relaxed her body in place and asked Baek Su-ryong..
“I mean it.?”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and nodded..
“show me. how fast are you.”
The rule is to circle the main training ground three times first before entering..
It was a way to win purely with light attacks, without attacking or interfering with the opponent..
After a while, the two students faced each other and exchanged greetings..
However, Sima Hyun's expression was quite different from when he was dealing with Dok Gojun..
“Now, please take care of me. Yeomin Sojeo.”
“Please take care of me.”
Yeomin roughly nodded to the boy who spoke shyly..
* * *
There was a cold atmosphere inside the guesthouse..
To say it was fall would be an understatement. The man who had just entered the guest room realized the reason..
I didn't feel any of the vitality that should be felt in a guesthouse where people come and go..
“It's late. I think I've waited long enough for the two examinations..”
The inside of the guesthouse without a single lantern on. A cracked voice was heard in the darkness..
He was an old man with white hair. He was wearing a blood-red long robe, and his physique was imposing and unbecoming of his age, and his eyes glowed in the dark..
“Please sit down. Even the tea that has completely cooled down is still worth drinking..”
“……I haven't heard anything like this.”
Yue Fei frowned at the faint scent of blood remaining in the guest cup..
It was obvious where the owner of the guesthouse and Jeomsoy had gone. I couldn't feel the energy of the living inside the guesthouse..
“If there are many eyes and ears, rumors will leak out. This is how our school has kept its secrets for a long time..”
“…….”
Ae Fei sensed that the old man in front of him was by no means inferior to him. He swallowed, unable to hide the tension in his throat..
“……Are you a blood demon??”
At that moment, a terrifying light burst from the old man's eyes. There was a hint of death in his voice..
“Do not speak of the Most High in vain. Comparing yourself to someone like me is an insult to Him. I would consider it a mistake the first time and move on... … . Remember that it never happens twice.”
“…….”
“Nobu is an immortal amazon. He holds the position of religious leader..”
He was a monster who survived the war between the Blood Cult and the Murim Alliance in the past and escaped. Even decades ago, his immortal magic skills were known to be comparable to those of the Ten Masters..
“But, why did you cover your face with a human skin mask??”
Yue Fei's expression distorted at the Immortal Amazon's question..
He had partially covered his face with a bast mask to cover the wounds he received from Namgungsu..
“Are you doubting my identity now??”
Just thinking back on that moment made me angry..
The Immortal Amazon sensed his death and grinned..
“Something must have happened. Is it Cheongryong Credit Union??”
“……Let's talk about what needs to be said.”
“Clue. Sure. The suggestion I want to make to you is…….”
Inside the cool room immersed in darkness, the voice of the Buddha Master resounded eerily..
