Chapter 550

550fury. Everything that happened here

“……You cut down a teenage villain?”

“That's right! Have you heard of Myeongbu Samgoe? Among them, the one who uses a sword is the eldest, and Tang Soso lured him there. Then, me and Senior Mok Hyeong-woo…….”

Heonwon-gang vividly described the fight at the time with great enthusiasm. He even recreated herbivory with the fruit he was holding in his hand..

“At that moment, all senses in my body became tense and time stretched out! As the sura within me cries out to cut down the enemy,……!”

“What are you doing??”

Miju was talking about what happened on the battlefield, but Baek Soo-ryong's reaction was that he was not very trustworthy..

Then Heonwon-gang jumped up with an expression of resentment..

“Oh, I'm not bluffing.!”

“Who said what? Okay, so chop one more apple..”

“Unless it's a real patient…….”

“Is the Sura inside you about to cry out again??”

“Oh really!”

Heonwon- gang grumbled to himself, saying, ‘Kill this thing and save it,’ but in the end, the wisdom of Sura Hyeolcheondo acquired on the battlefield was used to thinly slice the apple peel that he brought as a visitation gift..

“hmm. Well done.”

Heonwon-gang, who was glaring for a moment as Baeksu-ryong picked up a piece of apple and ate it, sighed softly..

“……Still, I'm glad it looks better than I thought. I know how worried everyone was because I couldn't wake up for five days.?”

“Would you have thought that six days had passed when I woke up?.”

Baek Soo-ryong's helpless smile gave a strangely uneasy feeling, but Heon Won-gang didn't show it and stood up..

We only talked briefly, at most, but it was enough to see each other okay..

“Anyway, wake up quickly and refresh yourself. With the five intentions I realized this time, I will show you my secret weapon, the Hundred Water Dragons..”

“Take care of yourself, man. He came with bandages all over his body and was bragging..”

Baek Soo-ryong chuckled at his disciple’s clumsy consolation. Heonwon River also laughed along with the smile..

“I'll come again.”

“okay.”

Baek Soo-ryong looked at the door where Heon Won-gang left and muttered softly..

“child. You've really grown up a lot.”

He knew that Heon Won-gang was deliberately showing off and telling a lot of sagas..

In order to avoid bringing up a tragic story, I exaggerated it more than usual..

It wasn't just Heonwon River. Disciples came to him one or two at a time. Because everyone was receiving treatment for their injuries and had difficulty moving around, the time we spoke was short..

“teacher. The death penalty…….”

Geo Sang-woong and Ya Soo-hyuk spoke with heavy expressions about their meeting with Sagon..

“……what happened to that girl?”

Yeo-min carefully asked questions about Isado..

Wi Ji-cheon came with Wi Ji-yeol and said thank you several times while crying..

Dok Go-jun and Dang So-so came together. Dok Go-jun expressed his gratitude as the student council president, and Dang So-so shed tears when he saw the haggard Baek Soo-ryong..

Mo Hyeong-woo brought the health medicine given to him by boiling it down to make it easy to consume..

In addition, many students went to see Baeksu-ryong’s face, albeit briefly. With the news that he had regained consciousness for the first time in five days, visitors continued to visit the hospital and were crowded all day long..

“I know you're standing in line outside to see your brother.?”

“The Murim Alliance investigation team can't even think of getting involved right now..”

“Brother. How is your body??”

The same was true for the instructors. Not only my classmates, but also the vice-governor, Kwak Cheol-woo, came to visit me and gave me a good word to cheer me up..

“Heh heh. It looks like you've built up a lot of connections..”

King Noh deliberately came late at night, and Baek Soo-ryong, who had been greeting visitors all day, nodded with a tired expression..

“I'm out of my mind. Thanks to you, I was able to find out what happened over the past six days..”

“We'll have to stay a few more days. There are a lot of seriously injured people, so we plan to get more treatment here first and then move on..”

Although Baek Su-ryong was the last to wake up, many of the warriors who participated in the battle had serious injuries and internal injuries..

Therefore, rather than moving right away, I decided to return to the Blue Dragon Science Museum after gathering myself for a while..

“First of all, I sent Jeon Seo-gu to Geomchi and your father. Otherwise, wouldn't they just hear the rumor and try to come running right away? Here's the reply, read it when you have time..”

Baek Soo-ryong read the letter handed to him by Noh Gun-sang..

The thick scroll was filled with the worries and concerns of Mae Geuk-ryeom and Baek Mu-heun, and even after reading it for a long time, I could not finish it..

The two wanted to come see the White Water Dragon right away, but they said they would guard the Blue Dragon Science Museum in case something unexpected happened. He said that was also the request of the Minister of Labor..

“I'll have to send you a reply tomorrow..”

Baek Soo-ryong also felt sorry when he thought of Mae Geuk-ryeom and Baek Mu-heun who were staying up all night with their eyes open. Before he knew it, the existence of family had become a big part of his heart..

“Heh heh. You were holding on to a sick person without even realizing it. I'm going to go now, get some rest..”

“Aren’t you curious? The last day of Lord Jujakhakgwan…….”

Baek Soo-ryong seemed to be curious about King Yeom's story, so he spoke first, and Noh Gun-sang shook his head..

“Let me hear it later. Shouldn’t the instructors at Suzaku Academy listen to it first rather than me?.”

“……All right.”

After Mr. Roh left, there was silence in the room left alone..

Baek Soo-ryong muttered as he swept away the Changryong Shinsword that was placed next to the bed..

“Only six days have passed. I thought it had been at least a few months…….”

There was no answer.

It wasn't just Baeksu-ryong who was exhausted from the fight against the blood demon..

Changryongshingeom fell into a deep sleep. He wouldn't wake up for quite some time this time, she told him before he left the world of images..

Wow.

Jeokwol cried instead. Changryong Shingeom seemed to be saying that it would be okay and that he would wake up and start annoying me as if he had never done that before..

“I'm sure you'll be quite bored for a while too..”

White Water Dragon swept away the red moon and laughed. He parked the two new soldiers in one place and walked to the window and opened it..

Hehehe-

A cool autumn breeze blew through the open window. The white water dragon's hair, bathed in moonlight, fluttered lightly..

Baek Soo-ryong, who had been looking out the window for a while, heard a familiar figure behind him and spoke without turning around..

“……It's late.”

“Not as free as anyone else.”

Baek Soo-ryong slowly turned around at the cold voice today..

Namgungsu was staring at him blankly. Cool golden eyes shining in the dark.

Baek Su-ryong wrinkled his nose at the familiar smell and sighed..

“It smells like paper and ink. Are you sure you were working during this time??”

“I sent an obituary..”

At those words, Baek Soo-ryong’s expression also changed to be as serious as Namgung-su’s..

“……dead instructors?”

Namgungsu nodded..

Baek Soo-ryong thought of Jinuihyup for a moment. A new instructor at the Blue Dragon Academy who was sacrificed by a thousand assassins..

This time, many more instructors were killed and injured..

Unlike their classmates who received consideration because they were new instructors, senior instructors at Cheongryong Academy died while fighting on the battlefield to protect their students..

“White Water Dragon.”

“uh.”

Namgungsu's voice calling Baeksuryong was the same as usual..

But at this moment, Baek Soo-ryong could feel that there was a faint anger in his breath..

“That day. explain what i saw.”

Despite his sharp eyes, Baek Soo-ryong only shrugged his shoulders..

“When did you say you weren't interested??”

Even when he fought Cheonsal, Namgungsu fought with Baeksuryong, who performed a reverse heavenly attack, behind his back..

However, despite feeling the most subversive and strange energy in the world, Nangongsu did not ask anything after that..

But today was different.

“I didn't come here to play with words..”

Namgungsu approached with great strides and glared straight at Baeksuryong..

“The reason I didn't ask anything at that time was because I trusted you. I had the belief that whatever I felt was for the sake of Cheongryong Academy and the students. I also didn't ask because I thought you were in complete control..”

“…….”

“But that day you had no control over yourself at all. If something like that happens again…….”

Baek Soo-ryong interrupted Nam Gung-su mid-sentence..

“Reverse Heavenly Technique. It's a martial art that the blood demon learned..”

“……!”

Although he must have expected it to some extent, Namgungsu's golden eyes shook, unable to hide his agitation..

“Don't ask me how I learned it. I have no intention of saying anything, and I don't want to be called crazy for saying something..”

I couldn't explain the complicated story of my past life to Namgungsu in detail. Instead, it would be much more helpful to talk about the current situation objectively..

“I have learned the art of Reverse Heaven, and my goal is to eliminate blood religion from the world. But this damn martial arts skill has a side effect. As you may have seen back then, there are times when a monster that is not me comes out..”

“……Is it some kind of coin immersion??”

“Similar but different. He is not a being created by my mind, but has a will of his own..”

At that moment, Baek Su-ryong laughed. Although his eyes were not stained red, Namgungsu could sense that something was lurking within them..

“How to solve it?”

“I'm looking for it while adapting. It's not perfect yet... … . won't show up for a while.”

There was a heavy silence for a moment. Namgungsu, who was looking into Baeksuryong’s eyes, opened his mouth..

“White Water Dragon. I won't trust you anymore.”

Baek Soo-ryong nodded as if it was natural..

“Don't believe it. Keep an eye on me. When does a monster come out, and does it pretend to be me? You can probably recognize it. Then, if you don’t think it will work out,…….”

Baek Soo-ryong thought for a moment to choose the right words..

What should I say to make Nam Gung Soo listen to my request?.

Something I can't ask Baek Mu-heun or Mae Geuk-ryeom to do..

Also, I wanted to entrust him with the decision that no one else could make..

After much thought, Baek Soo-ryong came up with a word that Namgung-su had no choice but to listen to..

“……Return the favor. I'll write off everything just once..”

Any Namgungsu would understand the meaning of these words..

At that moment, Namgungsu made the most distorted expression Baeksuryong had ever seen..

“……Don't do that.”

It was the answer Baek Soo-ryong wanted..

* * *

I spent ten days at the Murim League branch..

The time needed for seriously injured people to overcome the crisis and regain some mobility..

Those who were relatively less injured went to the canyon with the Murim Alliance investigation team to check the bodies of the deceased..

Many students volunteered for the job. They personally collected the bodies of the instructors who protected them. many tears were shed.

Baeksu- ryong also visited the canyon once again. It was to retrieve the Immortal Mazon that had been buried in a crevice in the rock..

But where he arrived, there were only mangled corpses strewn about..

‘who the hell?’

Someone killed the Immortal Amazon.

Malice and anger were felt in the crushed corpse..

If it were a blood religion, they would have taken the elder to save his life, and there was no way the Murim Alliance would have killed the leader of a blood religion who knew important information..

Because he could not find any clues left by the evil beast, Baek Su-ryong had no choice but to return with an uneasy feeling..

The morning of the tenth day like that.

Students from Cheongryong and Jujak Academy said their goodbyes as they prepared to return to the academy..

“Take care and go back!”

“See you next time!”

They were now comrades who had gone through a life-or-death battle together. A strong bond was bound to form. Students remembered each other's names and promised to do the next one..

“As soon as you return, take good care of your wounds first..”

“Please take care of your brother too..”

The same was true for the instructors. Namgoong Hak and Namgoong Su were concerned about each other's safety, and the instructors, who at first looked at each other like cows and chickens, now became close friends..

“Can the Suzaku Academy participate in the Tianwu Festival??”

“I'm thinking about it.”

Seok Yeo-rip, deputy director of the Jujak Hall, gave a short answer to Roh Gun-sang's question. He was a quiet old man, whose presence was obscured by the King of Flames, but who had guarded the Suzaku Academy for over twenty years..

The Jujak Academy lost its symbol of King Yeom. There was bound to be great confusion for a while..

He said he couldn't even guarantee whether he would be able to attend the upcoming Cheonmu Festival..

“Brother... … You don't want your students to be sad for a long time because of you..”

“I know.”

Seok Yeo-rip nodded heavily at Noh Gun-sang’s words..

It was said that King Yeom's funeral will be held at the Jujak Hall and that it will be cremated according to the deceased's will..

Fortunately, his will was passed on to the instructors at Jujak Hall by Baek Soo-ryong..

“I had a few requests..”

If there are instructors who die or are seriously injured, they should hold a grand funeral at their own expense and deliver condolences to the bereaved families..

Since many students were injured and injured, the decision on whether to participate in the Cheonmu Festival should be made by actively reflecting the opinions of the students..

“Lastly, since it was the anniversary of his death, he said that he would not forgive him if any ancestral rites were held at the school building during the academic schedule..”

“……It really sounds like a grandfather to the end..”

Sima Ying, who was silently listening to the will, chuckled..

she was a strong woman.

Even though he lost his grandfather, whom he had idolized since childhood, he comforted his students first..

So, Baek Soo-ryong prepared a small gift for her and Suzaku Hakugwan..

“Sosoya.”

When Baek Soo-ryong called, Dang So-so brought several fairly thick booklets. Bai Sulong handed it to Sima Ying..

“what is this?”

Sima Ying, who had a puzzled expression on his face, froze the moment he opened the booklet..

Inside it was a painting of the Suzaku Academy..

Scenes of running through the mountains with Cheongryong Academy students as if competing, and images of them collapsing from exhaustion upon arriving at the field trip site..

Faces laughing and talking in the training hall and secretly wandering around the dormitory at night..

There were scenes of scuffles with students at Cheongryong Academy, as well as King Yeom and instructors laughing during joint classes..

What Baek Soo-ryong gave was an album containing scenes from a school trip..

“It was drawn by students of the Cheongryong Academic Club. Originally, since he was a competitor I would meet at the Heavenly Wu Emperor, I had him watch and draw a martial arts scene.…….”

Later, his intention changed and he started drawing memories from school trips..

After a while, the students at Jujak Gwan also passed around the album of Paparakji's drawings..

Sima Ying, who had been holding back well until then, burst into tears. It was right after I saw my grandfather’s drawing in an art album..

“thank you. Everything that happened here... … Thank you for letting me know that it wasn't all bad..”

The Suzaku Academy left with a precious gift from the Blue Dragon Department in its arms..

After watching them leave first, Baek Soo-ryong looked back at his disciples..

Everyone had a different look in their eyes than when they first arrived here. It was both proud and sad. 'Cause I never wanted to experience this.

Swallowing the many words he wanted to say, Baek Soo-ryong tried to speak calmly..

“Let's go back.”

On the way back to Cheongryong Hall, everyone's determination and resolution for the coming days were engraved in their hearts..
