Chapter 605
605fury. Were you watching?
Jang Mun-in of Kunlun returned to his headquarters with his disciples..
“⋯⋯Kunlun will return.”
His student, Yu Jin, was severely punished by being banned from participating in all competitions under Emperor Tian Wu until he graduated, and Kun Lun's honor, which had taken pride in having fought against the Demon Cult on the front line for hundreds of years, fell to the ground..
It was because of the stubbornness of Jang Mun-in, who had been humiliated twice while trying to protect his student. As they ran away from the scene, the crowd's disappointed looks and silent jeers followed behind them..
“They tried to pass the blame on to us, but in the end, Kunlun did it all..”
“Those bastards look great. I knew it would be like this from the beginning?”
“What would have happened if Teacher Baek Soo-ryong hadn’t come on time?⋯⋯.”
It was a conversation between Wi Ji-cheon, Heon Won-gang, and Dok Go-jun, who finally breathed a sigh of relief..
After the whole story was clearly revealed, Cheongryong Academy resolutely defended the students..
“The Blue Dragon Academy will no longer stand by and watch unfair treatment. Unless all the students who participated in the fight will be punished fairly, I will no longer participate in the Heavenly Wu Festival.!”
Either we all die together, or we all live together.
Mae Geukryeom, the acting head of the Blue Dragon School, warned in a harsh voice..
“How can they receive the same punishment? It is true that Ok-jin was rude, but it was clearly a student at Cheongryong Academy who punched him first.⋯⋯.”
Although Gu-Pail-Bang protested, the head of Cheonmuhak, who made the decision on disciplinary action, was also not on the side of Gu-Pail-Bang. Above all, he did not want the talented late Jisoo to be unable to show off his martial arts skills due to disciplinary action..
The head of Cheonmuhak looked back at the elders of the nine sects and said. Although it was clearly persuasive, there was a strange sense of pressure..
“Let the students apologize to each other for their mistakes and end with a sharp admonishment in a sermon. I am afraid that if the Nine Sects insist that the Blue Dragon Academy be disciplined until the end, the whole world will laugh at you..”
No matter what happens, in the end, let's just move on..
Here, Geomseong, the highest adult of the nine factions, raised his eyes fiercely and shouted at the students, and the matter was concluded without a hitch..
“What are you doing so well that you keep your heads up high? Don't apologize for being wrong!”
In response to the swordsman's words, the Cheonmuhakgwan students who participated in the fight were the first to bow their heads and apologize. It was something no one could have imagined until then..
Some of the student council presidents of Cheonmu Hak-gwan put their hands together and bowed their heads to Dok Go-jun..
“The fact that we were unable to stop Okjin's donation in time, and the fact that we only tried to enforce our position without considering the position of Cheongryong Academic Center. I sincerely apologize.”
“We were also impatient. And what I called bald earlier... sorry.”
“⋯⋯Amitabha Buddha.”
Cheonmuhakkwan apologized and Cheongryonghakkwan seemed to forgive, but no one found it strange anymore..
And so, the commotion between the students of the two schools came to an end..
“⋯⋯Let's go back.”
“Follow me!”
“You all better be prepared..”
The Cheonmuhakgwan students followed behind the adults in the shrine with pale faces. Some clenched their teeth as if they were aggrieved, and even glared at the students of Cheongryong Academy for a moment..
While the onlookers surrounding him dispersed one by one, Baeksu-ryong approached the Buddha with a sombre expression and spoke..
“Shaolin will compensate you for the loss of the damaged store. Since the Buddha appeared by breaking the roof, I think he should do so..”
Cheongryong Academy's instructor classmates swallowed their saliva and looked at the two people. I was worried that Baeksu-ryong might be provoking Buddha for no reason..
However, the Buddha nodded calmly and looked around..
“Amitabha Buddha. If there are any nearby merchants who have been affected by this incident, not just here, please come to Shaolin. Shaolin will compensate and support all damages..”
To the benevolent voice of Buddha, the common people memorized Buddhist prayers without even realizing it. Baek Su-ryong looked at that and nodded slightly..
‘Not all old quarters are rotten.⋯⋯.’
In Baek Soo-ryong's view, Shaolin, Shaman, Gaejeong, and Ami, represented by Buddha and Geomseong, still had the ability and integrity to represent the political faction..
On the other hand, there were also old factions, such as Kunlun and Cheongseong, who were steeped in an arrogant sense of privilege. They had enjoyed the privilege of peace and responsibility for so long that they were in a conducive environment for becoming arrogant because of the support they received from those around them..
Buddha and Geomseong must have felt it because of this incident, and their expressions were not very good..
“⋯⋯Amitabha Buddha. Well then, Binseung, I’ll just go back..”
“See you tomorrow.”
The two people left, and the head of Cheonmuhak looked at Baeksu-ryong with strange eyes and left behind a vague statement that seemed to make no sense..
“The look in his eyes that scared Kunlun’s chieftain. It was very impressive..”
Only after everyone associated with Cheonmuhakwan had left for the last time, the students at Cheonmuhakkwan were able to breathe a sigh of relief..
Everyone was in a bad state from the fight at the restaurant, but they were elated like soldiers who won a war..
“Those kids. If it had been just a little longer, I would have knocked them all to the floor..”
“We won, right? Those kids took them out first..”
“How dare you mess with our student council president and our cute first grader??”
“Did you see those glaring eyes earlier? If it weren't for the teachers, just⋯⋯!”
However, it is still too early to rejoice in the ambiguous decision..
As soon as all the people at Cheonmuhakkwan disappeared, Mae Geukryeom's angry command fell on the students at Cheongryonghakkwan..
“Why are you making a fuss about what I did well? When I return to the dorm, I will interview each person one by one so you can find out.!”
The faces of the Cheongryong Academy students, who had been proud even when they were fighting against the Cheonmu School, all turned pale. It was an individual interview with Mae Geuk-ryeom, who had been a feared object of fear among students since his days as a student dean..
“Are you both okay??”
Baek Soo-ryong approached Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon. Their uniforms were worse than anyone else's, but neither of them seemed to be seriously injured..
Heon Wongang gently wiped the nosebleed with the back of his hand and smiled as if nothing was wrong..
“Of course it's okay. Even if I hadn't stopped them in the middle, they would have turned all of those bastards into blood clots... Ouch! Why are you hitting me?!”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at Heon Won-gang, who was sitting down clutching the back of his head, and clicked his tongue lightly..
“Are you bragging about what you did well? The guy who almost got disciplined and couldn't go to Yongbongbimu. All you have to do is make things bigger.?”
“⋯⋯I also had a plan. I didn't know that adults would come forward and drive things like that.⋯⋯.”
Heonwongang immediately muttered in a dejected voice..
Thinking that if he had been careful, Wi Ji-cheon and Dok Go-jun would have been disciplined and not be able to participate in the Yongbongbimu, Heon Won-gang felt like a fool for being so reckless..
“Sorry... I'm sorry to you too.”
Baek Soo-ryong gave the disciple who bowed his head another blow to the back of the head..
This time, I tapped lightly, as if joking..
“Still, it's better than going somewhere and getting beaten up. I know what you were thinking. Wongang, you know how to use your brain quite well now.?”
“⋯⋯Really?”
When Heonwon-gang asked why he was praising me, Baek Soo-ryong smiled and nodded..
The Heonwon lecture plan was good. Make the situation so big that everyone involved in the fight has no choice but to be disciplined, and then lead the situation so that no one gets disciplined. In the grand scheme of things, it was no different from what Baek Su-ryong did..
But the ending was a little awkward. If you had taken action after securing indisputable evidence that the other party crossed the line first, you would have been able to sufficiently deal with any variables that occurred..
“Next time, think twice before flipping over. For example, before⋯⋯.”
As soon as Baek Soo-ryong, who was arm in arm with Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon, began to whisper about how to devise a plan to immobilize the opponent, Dok Go-jun, Dang So-so, and other students also quietly approached and began to listen..
“⋯⋯.”
Namgungsu looked at this with a disapproving expression, his eyebrows narrowed, then he sighed and spoke to the other students..
“Return to your accommodation. It may also affect tomorrow's competition, so everyone should get some sleep right after the interview..”
The event to be competed at tomorrow's Cheonmu Festival was a mock battle where many people clash against many..
In a way, it could be said that today was an overtime match, so a special determination was bound to be engraved in the students' eyes..
“yes!”
And at that time, Baek Soo-ryong, who was returning to his dormitory with his students, felt intense gazes directed at him..
‘hmm?’
But the moment I turned back, the signs disappeared like a lie..
Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes shook with a hardened expression..
“no way⋯⋯.”
I can guarantee that a master who can fool his senses from this distance would not be able to find a fever even if he searched the whole world..
Nevertheless, the presence of those who disappeared in an instant... was faint but familiar..
“⋯⋯Were you watching?.”
Baek Soo-ryong guessed who they were and muttered with a slightly bitter expression..
“It was only for a moment, but my prayers wavered. Not like you guys.”
Baeksu- ryong stood in place for a moment and looked into the darkness where the presence had disappeared, but he felt nothing. Heonwon River, who was ahead, turned his head and called out to him..
“teacher? What are you doing if you don't come quickly?!”
“⋯⋯.”
If I followed the trail right now, maybe I could catch it..
But Baek Soo-ryong didn’t do that..
In his arms was the Blue Dragon plaque returned by his former student..
After the Tianwu Festival is over, I will visit Master with my friends..
Baek Soo-ryong, who remembered the words written there, turned his head and said to Heon Won-gang..
“okay. I'll be there soon.”
Baek Su-ryong soon turned around completely and walked the streets at night with the disciples of the Blue Dragon Academy. The shadow on the wall stretched long, leaving a feeling of disappointment..
✻ ✻ ✻
morning has dawned.
As the students of Odaegwan entered the stadium filled with spectators, the atmosphere at Cheongryong Hall and Cheonmu Hall became even more tense due to the fight that took place last night..
Before the game started, students from each school gathered together and had a final strategy meeting..
Mo Hyeong-woo opened his mouth with a solemn expression..
“Heonwon River. Dokgojun. Wijicheon. You guys are excluded from today’s roster..”
Mo Hyeong-woo was no longer the only student at the Blue Dragon Academy with battlefield experience, but he had more battlefield experience and was more skilled than anyone else. In addition, he was a student who was recognized by everyone for his leadership skills by achieving excellent grades as a group leader in most group assignments..
Taking those factors into consideration, Mo Hyeong-woo was selected as the captain of the Blue Dragon Academy in this mock battle..
“Excluded? Is it because you got hurt yesterday? They say this can be cured just by applying acupuncture.!”
“Senior. It is unfair to exclude us from the list of participants.!”
“You've got to be kidding me.?”
All three strongly protested, but Mo Hyeong-wu shook his head resolutely. This was also a strategic decision..
“You guys, save your stamina for the Yongbongbimu preliminaries starting tomorrow. And there is no room for you today anyway..”
“Are you serious? They'll leave us out and stick with the children of Cheonmuhakkwan.?”
“Senior! please think again!”
Heon Won-gang and Wi Ji-cheon looked unconvinced, but then a huge hand pulled their shoulders back..
“Wongang. Cheonah. You guys just quietly watch from behind..”
Geo Sang-woong, who had recovered some of his injuries and physical strength, looked at them and smiled. Next to him, Ya Soo-hyuk is bending his neck from side to side..
Yeomin also relaxed slightly. Thanks to the rest after finishing the light ball dance, my body seemed lighter..
Wow!
At that time, the sound of hitting my back rang out. However, the main character on the palm was not Yeo-min, and the main character on the back was not Heonwon-gang..
“Deputy, Vice President? why me?”
Dok Go-jun opened his eyes wide and looked at Dang So-so with an expression of bewilderment. Dang So-so said while looking straight into Dok Go-jun’s eyes..
“president. Trust us for this sport..”
“⋯⋯okay.”
After catching a glimpse of the three who had finally calmed down, Mok Hyeong-woo looked back at the students participating in the mock battle..
Among them, there were students whose names and nicknames were well known, such as Tang Xiaoxiao, Yuran, and Blue Dragon Ssanggeol, and there were also students who were not..
But one thing was the same.
From the looks in everyone's eyes, I could see that they were thinking the same thing..
“Everyone heard it yesterday, right? How much Cheonmuhakkwan ignored Cheongryonghakkwan. He insulted them by saying that they were low-born, low-class, dirty and smelly country bumpkins, and that they were nothing without Cheongryong Omang.!”
Although some of them were words that had never been said at the Cheonmuhak Hall, Mo Hyeong-wu was willing to incite white lies to boost the morale of the allies..
The effect was amazing.
“Let's step on everything!”
“It shows the results of one year of hell training.!”
“If you think there are only five idiots in the Blue Dragon Academy, you are mistaken.!”
After a while, led by Mo Hyeong-yu, Tang Xiaoso, Yu Lan, and many students from the Blue Dragon Academy came forward. Geo Sang-woong, Ya Soo-hyuk, and Yeo-min, who recovered from injuries, also joined..
“let's go! Cheongryong Academic Hall!”
All of them were students who took Baek Soo-ryong's class <Mock Battle of the Great Blood Battle>..
