Chapter 53
##53fury. first day at work (2)
“……Are you my father??”
“okay. It's already been thirty years.”
Now that I think about it, I remembered that Go Ju-yeol, a non-respondent, had said something similar when he came to Baekmugwan in the past..
- Among my peers, there was no one at Cheongryong Academy who could stand up to his younger brother. Do you think it's just that? One time, your father made it to the top four at the Yongbongbi dance held at Cheonmuhakkwan.!
father… … . I thought you did something crazy during your school days, but you weren't..
“It was the time when Cheongryong Academic Center shined the brightest. Qualified late-stage experts from all over the world lined up to enroll, and many experts were also produced. Even when I participated in the Cheonmu Festival, I was always in the top ranks..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom's expression looked proud as he traced the glorious past..
But that expression quickly hardened..
“…… As you know, that is not the case now. Since then, Blue Dragon Academy's performance began to slowly decline, and it has always been ranked last in the Heavenly Wu Emperor for the past ten years..”
“Is there a special reason why that happened??”
“well…….”
Mae Geukryeom seemed to think deeply about my question, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me..
“If you think about it, it started back then. Ever since that bastard stole my daughter and ran away at night.”
“……yes?”
Mae Geukryeom's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and even though there was not a single breeze blowing, the dopo swelled significantly..
“…… From that day on, a curse was placed on the Blue Dragon Academy. The gods of heaven and earth were angry at impure heterosexual relationships and punished them..”
“Ha, grandpa?”
“Baek Muheun… … ! It's all your fault……!”
In order to appease the anger of Mei Geuk-ryeom, who was looking at Baek Mu-heun's face, I willingly changed my temper..
“Secure it, Grandpa! That's not Baek Muheun! This is Mae Yakbing’s son, Maeryong! Please don't get black on your chopsticks.!”
“buy dragon……?”
Why is the conclusion always like this?.
After a while, the true Mae Geukryeom finally took a deep breath and said:.
“Phew. It has been done. What I want to say is that Cheongryong Academic Center is not what it used to be. Your winning comment was very careless..”
“…….”
Cheonmuje (天武祭) is a large festival once a year where students from the five major martial arts schools gather to compete in martial arts..
At first, it had a good intention of promoting friendship among students of Odae University and mutual development to protect the peace of the martial arts from the threat of Safa..
“At some point, it changed and started assigning points and dividing grades based on that, and everyone started risking their lives on it..”
In the Cheonmu Festival, a variety of events are competed, including swordsmanship, swordsmanship, boxing, arm techniques, light martial arts, and group martial arts..
Points are awarded only to the winners of each event, and the scores are gathered together to determine the school's overall ranking..
And of all the competitions, the event with the most points at stake and the flower of Cheonmuje was Yongbongbimu..
‘A real sword competition to select the strongest test score among all students in the five universities..’
In this competition, in which hundreds of people participate every year, the students who make it to the final eight are called 'Dragon Peaks'..
“In the past ten years, the Blue Dragon Academy has not produced a single dragon peak..”
“I know.”
“Don't say that you know easily.”
A living witness who had experienced all the changes while protecting the Blue Dragon Academy over the past decades looked straight at me..
“What you need to change is your deep-rooted sense of defeat. can you do it?”
“I didn't say anything if I said I couldn't do it..”
“joy.”
At my answer, Mae Geuk-ryeom snorted as if it had no meaning..
But it didn't look like he was in a bad mood..
“The cheeky ones are very similar..”
“……Father?”
“my daughter.”
“…….”
What beat are you telling me to go to?.
“Let’s get up when we’re done eating..”
When we finished eating and stood up, we felt many eyes following us..
Since we just didn't have a phone conversation, anyone who was paying attention would have heard our conversation..
I smiled while looking at the back of Mae Geuk-ryeom who was ahead of me..
‘I brought you to the student cafeteria on purpose to talk about this..’
The reason why Mae Geuk-ryeom deliberately sat in the student cafeteria, especially in the center where attention was most likely to be drawn..
There was no doubt that he was trying to pass on my conversation to the students naturally..
I was very grateful for his silent consideration, but he didn't seem to like showing off, so I pretended not to notice and followed along..
“…… No one wants to win. Even if only the White Tiger Academy can win this year's Tianmu Festival, if you contribute to it to some extent, you will be recognized by everyone..”
However, there is no need to take out insurance like this..
Just before leaving the restaurant, I spoke clearly so that everyone who glanced at us could hear..
“no. I absolutely plan to make Blue Dragon Academy win the Cheonmuje Championship..”
“you…….”
To Mae Geuk-ryeom, who looked back at me with a puzzled expression, I smiled and said,.
“Who does this resemble more??”
“……I shouldn't talk.”
* * *
After leaving the student cafeteria, we headed to Mae Geuk-ryeom's residence, located exactly between the male and female dormitories..
“sit down.”
Mae Geukryeom's room was small and frugal, befitting the owner's personality..
After work, Mae Geukryeom meditates here, practices swordsmanship in the backyard, or watches cats that climb over the dormitory wall to engage in sexual intercourse..
……Really, he's a scary guy..
“Since it is currently a seasonal semester, there are only one-third of the number of students compared to usual. There's not much to do.”
We sat across from each other across the table..
Mae Geukryeom poured me some tea that he had brewed himself and continued talking..
“However, new students will soon have to be accepted, and students who went home will return once the vacation is over. It's going to get really busy from then on. Drink it.”
A strong scent emanated from the deeply brewed tea leaves..
I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but I could tell that Mae Geukryeom had a deep knowledge of tea..
“Over the next month, learn the geography of the academy and get to know many instructors..”
“yes.”
“Don't cause trouble. Especially if you cause a scandal against a female student.…….”
Sssssssut.
In an instant, the room was filled with the deadly force caused by Mae Geukryeom..
I answered while breaking into a cold sweat..
“It doesn't cause it. I have no intention of doing so..”
“……Let's pretend to be deceived and believe it. Do you have any other questions??”
I was glad there was something I wanted to ask..
“Grandfather. Do you know much about supplementary classes??”
“It's a supplementary class.…….”
Mae Geukryeom thought for a moment while stroking his beard, then sighed softly and said..
“A group of problem children. Those guys don't even listen to me..”
“oh my god…….”
I was truly surprised..
There are people who are mad at even the world's student leader, Mae Geuk-ryeom..
Do those guys have multiple lives??
“Why did you keep me alive until now??”
“……Are you arguing??”
“Is that possible?.”
Mae Geukryeom wiggled his eyebrows once and then sighed and answered..
“The problem with them is that they are failing students in each grade. However, I only provide life guidance and do not care about grades. All three of them are children who rarely have accidents like that..”
“…….”
“Heonwon River sometimes causes accidents... … Isn’t it inevitable for boys to fight among themselves at that age?.”
It was said that it was not okay to drink alcohol, burn tobacco, and have sex with the opposite sex in the school building, but it was okay to go around beating up kids..
Perhaps because it was a martial arts school, Maegeukryeom was strangely lenient in that regard..
“For the academic institution, this is a sad thing. All three of them are very talented, but they don't try hard to learn.…….”
After saying that, Mae Geukryeom asked me as if he had finally remembered..
“I see. This time you were in charge of the supplementary class.?”
“yes.”
“Hmm. First of all, it won't be easy to bring all three together..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom informed me that there are currently three supplementary members in total..
4Grade Geo Sang-woong.
3Grade Heonwon River.
2Grade Yeomin.
These three were failing students at Cheongryong Academy and students in the supplementary class I would be in charge of from now on..
“Geo Sang-wook and Yeo-min are back home during the vacation, so they won't come back until a month has passed, and Heon Won-gang is staying in the dormitory..”
“Do you remember where all the students live??”
“Not everything... … I remember those kids because they were especially annoying..”
That said, I was confident that Mae Geuk-ryeom knew the whereabouts of almost every student..
“Can you tell me what you know about those three people??”
“I don't know that much…….”
The story that there wasn't much lasted well over an hour, and I was able to get quite a lot of information about the three troublemakers in the supplementary class..
“……From what I've heard, none of the three are easy guys..”
Mae Geukryeom nodded with a dark expression..
“To date, several instructors have tried to teach them, but have given up and failed. Namgungsu didn’t entrust you with the supplementary class for nothing..”
But the more Mae Geukryeom said that, the more my motivation burned..
‘Guys who are talented and don't listen are much better than guys who are half-baked..’
You can't create talent that doesn't exist, but you can make people who don't listen listen well..
“Do you have any ideas in mind??”
“A few things come to mind... … . I'll have to meet him in person first and then decide..”
I decided to meet the three troublemakers in the supplementary class one by one..
‘First of all... … It would be better to start with a familiar face..’
I quickly decided on my first target and asked Mae Geukryeom..
“Grandfather. Do you know where the dormitory room where Heonwon River lives is??”
* * *
“91 days…….”
Heon Won-gang was sweating profusely and doing push-ups with only one hand, and with only one finger. My arms were shaking.
“ninety paal…….”
The dormitory floor was already soaked with sweat..
He was doing push-ups repeatedly with his upper body removed, his bronzed, muscular body glistening with sweat..
“Ninety-nine... … . drainage……!”
After completing one hundred gears, Heon Won-gang immediately switched arms and started doing push-ups..
After doing a total of two hundred push-ups, Heon Won-gang collapsed and leaned against the wall..
“Phew… … . Phew…….”
Steam was rising from my body..
Heon Won-gang roughly wiped his sweat with the towel hanging on his bed and then threw it somewhere..
Since no one wanted to stay in the same room as a bastard with a foul personality, the dormitory room originally intended for 4 people became his private room as soon as the vacation came..
‘Thanks to that, I don't get bothered by anyone..’
Heon Won-gang replayed in his mind the external attack battle with Baek Soo-ryong that took place a few days ago..
‘damn you bastard!’
This was the reason why Heon Won-gang was alone in his room these days and was concentrating on external training..
-All you have to do is use external energy during this angle to get me to take at least one step out of here..
She looks like a gisaeng brother, is thin and has an unlucky smile on her face..
I didn't like it from the first time we met..
So, I attacked with the intention of giving him a good blow..
I thought it was as simple as pushing it out of the circle..
but.
-okay. I thought you were the first.
Baek Soo-ryong grinned as if he had read his thoughts, then slammed himself down on the floor without even knowing what was happening..
Kwaaang!
The pain in my head is so intense that it turns completely white..
However, considering the one-sided manipulation that followed, the pain was nothing..
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't push the white water dragon out of the circle..
I didn't attack him alone, I attacked him with that shabby Paeng Sa-hyuk, but I failed..
Grumbling…….
Heonwon- gang, who had finished this, got up from his seat. I drew an imaginary circle on the non-stage floor and muttered as I took a stance within it..
“like this… … Was it?”
Heonwon-gang began to clumsily imitate Baeksu-ryong’s posture in the circle..
From a young age, he was able to imitate most types of herbivore after just seeing them once..
‘no. This is not it.”
But I didn't really like the movements I was following now..
No matter how many times I tried to slightly change my posture, it was still awkward and uncomfortable..
But Heonwon River did not give up easily..
He showed a level of concentration that was surprising to the instructors who taught him so far..
‘That bastard. I'll give you a hit someday.’
Heonwon-gang closed his eyes..
Then, the movements of the white water dragon in my head were drawn more clearly..
slowly, slowly…….
By moving his body, Baek Soo-ryong reproduced the movements of dodging, blocking, and counterattacking the students' attacks that day..
After some thought like that…….
Heonwon-gang opened his eyes and shouted nervously..
“shit! Why isn't it working properly?!”
I didn't ask anyone, I just shouted out of frustration..
I had no idea that the answer would come from behind my back..
“Shall I tell you?”
“Who can tell you... … Ugh! What the fuck!”
Heon Won-gang, startled by a voice suddenly heard from behind, screamed and turned around..
Baek Soo-ryong was hanging upside down in the dormitory window, grinning at him..
