Chapter 64
##64fury. what's this?
“I said twenty times?”
“It's worth it if you get at least that much..”
In times like these, we need to be more shameless..
To the old man who looked at me with an expression that asked me if there were all these thieves, I confidently explained why I should receive twenty times the amount..
“If I tutor an elderly person, I plan to focus only on the elderly person and not accept other students..”
“Anyway, no one came except me.?”
……A big crisis came from the beginning, but I ignored it and continued talking, pretending not to hear it..
“Tutoring is usually provided once every three days, for approximately one hour. But for seniors, that’s not enough. It looks like you have quite a bit of internal skills, but you haven't learned much about external skills. Is that correct??”
“……For my health, I do gymnastics every day..”
The old man nodded without denying it. I sighed as if I knew that would happen..
“Do you want to enter the Cheongryong Academy through Gigijo? There is no way to guess. Not only internal and external training, but also diet management and health management. I have to take care of the elderly all month long. in other words.”
I looked into the old man's eyes with a serious expression..
This was my truth too.
“This means that the time and sincerity that goes into it is twenty times more. It's never a large amount.”
“Hehe… … . After listening to it, it seems plausible again..”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. Soon the smile turned mischievous..
At the same time, his tone of voice changed..
“So how much is twenty times that amount? I haven't even heard the price yet.”
How much, I mean…….
I swallowed my saliva and then said.
“Eunja is 6,000 nyang..”
“……There is no such thing as a robber.”
The old man clicked his tongue as if it was absurd..
But he didn't look angry or think something was wrong..
Hermit 6,000 nyang.
It is money that ordinary people cannot touch in their lifetime, and it is not easy for even the richest people to afford a house..
But when the old man heard the amount, he merely clicked his tongue..
‘That means money is no problem.’
An old man who can easily think of this amount of money..
I was curious about its identity, but I did not show my curiosity for no reason..
“So, for 6,000 nyang, you can admit me to the Blue Dragon Academy??”
“If you faithfully follow my guidance…….”
“Elderly!”
At that moment, a black shadow stood between us..
A woman in black uniform escorted the old man here..
She rolled her eyes and glared at me..
“You don't have to listen to these scammers anymore.!”
“Black spirit. I'm not finished talking yet…….”
“There's nothing more to hear!”
Heukyeong interrupted the old man’s conversation and glared at me. Her hand was on the knife as if she was about to go out at any moment..
“Do you think it is possible to learn martial arts from an elderly person??”
“Is there any reason not to??”
“Although he is old, he is also deeply ill. I'm saying you're coming down here for a while because you need some medical care..”
“You don't have to worry, as we will plan classes taking your physical condition into full consideration. You will be healthier in a month.?”
“dare……!”
I said this with a smile out of kindness, but at that moment, the black spirit's face distorted like a demon..
“Who are you trying to deceive?!”
The sword that was drawn out in an instant reached my goal..
The dark spirit glared at me, spewing out a terrifying murderous spirit..
“Do not deceive the elders by using your tongue anymore. before cutting it off.”
“……what is this?”
“black spirit!”
As the old man shouted in surprise at the bloody force of the black spirit, Heonwon-gang and Wijicheon, who were inside the manor, sensed that he was alive and ran at the same time..
““teacher!””
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the woman named Heukyoung..
The tip of the sword that touched my purpose did not waver even an inch..
‘You're more advanced than I thought..’
The black spirit who revealed his prayers was an expert beyond imagination..
To the point where I don't understand the idea of working as an escort for someone else..
“Put down the knife right now!”
“What are you doing?!”
Cheaeng! Chaeng!
Wijicheon and Heonwongang rushed forward with their swords and swords drawn and aimed at Heukyeong..
However, the black spirit did not even look in that direction and glared at me..
“This is the final warning. If you deceive the elders with absurd lies, next time it will not stop with a warning..”
“I've never told a lie.”
“Indeed, only after the tongue is cut off……!”
thud!
It was a small sound.
The sound of a cane hitting the floor.
It didn't contain any formidable power, it was just a sound of a person hitting the floor nervously..
“black spirit.”
However, it was important that the person who made the sound was an old man served by the dark spirit..
“Is it that young man who is making me laugh now, or is it you??”
The old man spoke in a clear voice that I had never heard before..
“Uh, old man..”
Heukyeong, whose face became pale, turned and looked at the old man. His body was trembling like an aspen tree..
“Sorry, sorry. Forgiveness…….”
“Put away your sword and step back now..”
It was different from the unmanned momentum..
The dark spirit lowered its sword at the strong presence emanating from the old man's small body..
Not only that, he knelt down in front of the old man..
“Please forgive me…….”
The old man passed by the dark spirit and walked towards me..
“I'm sorry. My escort was in bad shape..”
“no. I'm jealous that you have such a loyal escort..”
“Heh heh. Thank you for thinking that way..”
The old man smiled, and the intimidation he had just shown disappeared like a lie..
“Let’s finish talking about what we were talking about earlier. If I receive martial arts instruction from you, will I really be able to enter the Blue Dragon Academy and become a martial arts expert??”
Those eyes were soft, but at the same time sharp, as if they were interrogating my true intentions..
I told the truth without adding lies..
“To be honest, it is difficult to start martial arts at an older age and achieve great success. Even if you do well, you'll be second-rate, but if you get lucky, you'll only be a first-class expert..”
“gibberish……!”
The kneeling black spirit gritted his teeth and mumbled, but when the old man glanced at him, he kept his mouth shut..
The old man looked at me with a bitter expression..
“It's heavenly luck... … . I'm not that lucky..”
“Fortunately, it seems like luck has reached the old man this time.?”
“hmm? what does that mean?”
I grinned and pointed at myself..
“Didn’t heaven’s fortune appear before your eyes like this?.”
For a moment, the old man's eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter..
“Puhahaha! I really like your distribution! Even though I recognized the dark spirit's sword in front of me without even blinking, I recognized it.!”
“Because it wasn't that dangerous..”
“What? Puhahahaha!”
The old man even dropped the cane he was holding and burst into laughter, and the black spirit glared at me and quietly gritted his teeth..
After a while, the old man finally wiped the tears from his eyes and said,.
“Then I'll give you 30 times more.”
“yes?”
That was a development I had never expected, so I looked at the old man with wide eyes..
“Nine thousand nyang as a hermit. No, I'll give you 10,000 nyang. Half is paid in advance, and the other half is given when you pass the entrance exam. What is it like??”
There was no reason to refuse..
Since I started tutoring under my own name, I was definitely planning on getting accepted, but of course the better the pay, the more motivated I was..
“I will definitely let you pass..”
“You definitely have to do that..”
A gentle smile appeared on the old man's lips, but the words that came out of his mouth were by no means gentle..
“If you don't pass me, I'll be very disappointed in you. Maybe you'll be angry.”
this is a threat.
It's the anger of an old man who can pay 10,000 yang with just one word.…….
I was a little curious, but I didn't necessarily want to experience it..
“You won't be disappointed.”
“I'm looking forward to it. So when does the training start??”
“I heard that the bull's horn was too sweet, so let's start from today..”
“……today?”
“Let's go back inside first..”
The old man's eyes widened as if he was genuinely embarrassed..
Before he could say anything, I quickly led the old man into Baekryongjang..
Heukyoung followed us with a shit-chewing expression on his face..
“And I didn't tell you in advance. You will have to stay here with us for the next month..”
“hmm… … . Does it have to be that way??”
“It must be so.”
I nodded firmly to the old man who had a perplexed expression on his face..
Although he confidently said he would let him pass, getting a sixty-five-year-old to enter the Cheongryong Academy was no easy task..
“Classes will start this evening. There are many empty rooms in the manor, so choose any room..”
“……Umm. I understand.”
And so, the training camp with the oldest applicant in the history of the Blue Dragon Academy began..
* * *
that evening.
I stood face to face with old man Gong (he did not give his name, but simply introduced himself as Mr. Gong) in the training hall..
“Your physical strength is not as bad as I thought..”
“Phew… … . I told you. I’ve been doing gymnastics for a long time..”
An old man who had just finished a gymnastics exercise took a deep breath..
He looked at me with expectant eyes, as if asking me what I was doing..
I scratched my chin, remembering the old man's movements a moment ago..
Although it was slow and slow, I could feel the gentle and mysterious techniques of Taoist martial arts..
“It wasn’t just a gas gymnastics exercise, was it? There was some movement on the part of the shaman..”
Old man Gong’s eyes sparkled at my words..
“Huh. Maybe it's because he's an instructor, but he really has a good eye. That's right. Although I have never formally learned martial arts, I have been practicing this gymnastics for over 30 years. What is it like? At this level, his physical strength is no less than that of young people... … . Cough! Cough!”
……It would have been really reliable if he hadn't coughed at the end..
When Old Man Gong coughed, Heukyoung, who was standing behind him with a nervous expression, immediately ran over and helped him up..
“Elderly!”
“Okay, it's okay. It's been a while since I was excited, so I did it a little faster and that's it. Phew…….”
“Take slow, deep breaths. slowly…….”
It was so fucking bad…….
While Heukyoung supported the pale-faced old man and made him take a deep breath, I picked up the cane that the old man had left aside and brought it to him..
‘hmm?’
I only heard about it briefly, but the center of gravity of the cane was quite different from what I expected..
sweet.
I pressed a part of the cane handle, and sure enough, an awl about two inches long protruded from the tip of the cane..
“I asked why you were using a cane when you could do the gymnastics on your own.…….”
When I handed him the cane with a shocked expression, the old man smiled awkwardly and said,.
“Heh heh. As you can see, it is a self-defense weapon. Unfortunately, I haven't tried it yet..”
“As long as I'm by your side, you'll never have to use anything again..”
When Heukyeong spoke with a stern expression, Old Man Gong laughed empty-handed..
Old Man Gong looked at me with an expectant expression..
“What is it like? Even though you're old, your body is still pretty useful, right??”
Even if I only moved my body for a few minutes and had a face as pale as a corpse, saying those words wasn't persuasive..
“There is no guess.”
“joy.”
Old Man Gong pouted with a disapproving expression..
They say you become a child when you get old. He had a childlike side..
‘That's what I said, but my physical strength isn't as bad as I thought..’
At least it's not the worst.
Old Man Gong had the minimum strength necessary to perform martial arts..
My body was more flexible than I thought, and I had a strong will to learn..
‘If you are lacking in stamina, you can teach it by mixing the Kijok with the Nokrim Eighteen Styles..’
The externally revealed physical condition has been confirmed..
Now it was time to check inside the body..
I carefully asked old man Gong.
“Elderly. Can I take a closer look at your body??”
“If it's true, didn't you do it yesterday too??”
“That's not enough. I want to check it by pouring my energy into my body.…….”
It is taboo to pour another person's energy into your body without permission..
This is because if you put your mind to it, you can inflict any internal injury or cripple the opponent..
Therefore, I just did a pulse yesterday and confirmed that there was no major problem..
“Elderly…….”
Heukyeong, whose expression hardened, shook his head. It meant not to allow it..
But in the end, the decision was up to Old Man Gong..
He looked at me intently, then nodded..
“It would be ridiculous to come this far and refuse. Take a look.”
“Please go over there and sit cross-legged..”
Old Man Gong sat cross-legged, and I sat behind him and placed my palm on his back..
The dark spirit glared at me and spewed murderous intent..
“If you do anything to your elders in the slightest, I will immediately cut off your head..”
“Okay, so just defend yourself well..”
The black spirit warned me in a harsh voice, but I just ignored it..
As long as I touched Old Man Gong's back, even the black spirit couldn't touch me carelessly..
“I will lead the inner work. Don't reject it, just let it flow..”
“……I'm a little nervous.”
I pulled up the reverse heavenly energy and poured the inner energy into the old man's body..
And soon after, my expression became grotesquely distorted..
‘Why is there so much??’
