Chapter 663
Side story episode 4. A familiar scenery
“hmm?”
Geo Sang-woong, who was writing a speech for graduates, stopped his hand and raised his head. As he looked out the door, the signs of his juniors outside dispersed in all directions..
“It's been strange for a few days now…….”
Geo Sangwoong tilted his head while scratching his chin with his finger..
The juniors were strange. It didn't happen for a day or two, but it was because they were definitely different from usual..
“……Is it because of this too??”
Geo Sang-woong looked down at the graduate speech he had already rewritten several times and muttered..
A few days ago, I remembered being harshly attacked by my juniors' sudden collaboration..
-Screw it for now!
-Well, what is it, you bastards?!
It's a good thing that I desperately protected my face, but my eyelids were almost bruised as black as a mare cat before the graduation ceremony..
“If your children are upset about something, tell them. Acting foolish like kids…….”
Geo Sang-woong guessed the reason why his juniors behaved like that..
That day, Heonwon-gang helped me up after I was sprawled out on the floor due to a joint attack and asked me this bluntly:.
-……Senior wants to graduate?
Heonwongang asked the question, but everyone was paying close attention to Geosangwoong's answer..
Geo Sang-woong looked around at the faces of each of his juniors and answered with a simple smile..
-That's how it should be. Can’t we just be students forever??
-……It won't work. Screw it one more time!
-hey! hey! You guys wait a minute!
In the end, after some more fuss, I was finally able to free myself from my juniors..
Geo Sang-woong was not angry about such a thing. Rather, I felt sorry and grateful to see my juniors with slightly sagging shoulders..
This meant that the juniors were sad about their graduation. Although the way it expresses those feelings is quite extreme..
“My heart is so soft that it doesn't suit me…….”
It was an assessment that most people who knew Cheongnyonggomang would not agree with, but Geo Sangwoong truly thought so..
From that day on, Geo Sang-woong felt his juniors’ perspectives change. Moreover, it wasn't just the gaze that changed..
-senior. Eat some more of this or not.
It's a really small thing, but there were a little more side dishes in front of me, and I was naturally excluded from cleaning and dishwashing duties..
-Oh, okay, go prepare your graduation speech..
-We'll do it. Don't worry about your seniors..
-Wash it first. Or should I push your back too??
-It may be a little late, but I should treat you like a senior from now on..
Thinking that Geo Sang-woong would graduate from Cheongryong Academy and leave Baekryongjang, his juniors began to show him various considerations..
I almost felt sorry for no reason. However, I did not take the initiative to clear up the misunderstanding..
“This might be the last time I get treated like a senior by those guys.…….”
It was time for Geo Sang-woong, who laughed, to look into the graduate speech again to edit it..
Kyaaaat!
The majestic roar of a baby beast was heard outside the door, and Eun-ho, carrying a bag the size of his own body on his back, opened the door with his front paw and came in..
“What did you bring??”
When Geo Sang-woong reached out and unpacked Eun-ho's luggage, dumplings wrapped in cotton cloth appeared..
A pleasant smile appeared on Geo Sang-woong's lips as he saw the steaming warm dumplings..
“haha! I was hungry at the moment, so it was good..”
When I took a big bite of one of the dumplings, thick meat juice flowed out. Eun-ho, who personally delivered the dumplings, took his share with his front paw and started eating it..
“I hope you are doing well with your death penalty.…….”
Geo Sang-woong suddenly thought of Sagon..
Even now that the war with the Blood Cult was over, he still did not properly understand the relationship between the White Water Dragon and Sagon..
Although I experienced unbelievable things in the world of imagination, I didn't bother to find out or dig into their past..
However, there were a few things I wanted to ask Sagon when I met him again someday..
There was no need to rush. They are connected by the same teacher and the same martial arts, so they will definitely meet again someday..
“……It's already like this.”
Geo Sang-woong looked out the window, organized his graduate speech, and stood up. Then he picked up Eunho, who was looking at him intently, and placed him on his shoulder..
“I'm going to visit the Cheongryong Academic Center. If you’re bored, should we go together??”
Eun-ho nodded, yawned on Geo Sang-woong's broad, strong shoulder, dozed off, and quickly fell asleep..
Kyaaaam…….
Geo Sang-woong quietly left Baekryongjang while listening to the soft breathing of the baby beast that had already fallen into a deep sleep..
* * *
Geo Sang-woong arrived at Cheongryong Academic Center and headed straight to the student council building..
Dok Go-jun, who is busy spending the last days of his term as student council president, looked at him with a friendly smile..
“Senior. How are you preparing for your graduation speech??”
“It wasn't easy. How many times have I written and erased it?.”
Geo Sang-woong smiled sheepishly and changed the topic. He didn't just come to the student council for no reason..
“By the way, what did you call me for today??”
It was the day before the graduation ceremony. There was an urgent request from the student council to visit all four grades, and Geo Sang-woong did not forget to arrive, albeit a little late..
“Actually, it's not me today... … Soso called me because he had some business to do with his seniors..”
As soon as Dokgojun returned to the academy, he smiled and said even though he looked tired from the many things he had to handle. It was a smile that made me feel happy for some reason..
Of course, it was a smile that Geo Sang-woong could not sympathize with at all..
“……Dangsoso? I feel uneasy for some reason…….”
“Just go into the room over there and wait. I guarantee you, you won't regret it..”
“Tsk. Since my junior from Dokgo said that, I guess I'll pretend I'm being deceived and go in..”
Geo Sang-woong entered the room that Dok Go-jun told him about without letting down his guard..
The room was quite spacious. On one side were various types of weapons, and next to them were clean and colorful military uniforms, hero guns, and leather shoes. And I also saw the fourth graders who came first..
“Geo Sang-woong!”
“Bang Baekhyun?”
A bright smile appeared on Geo Sangwoong's lips as he found a familiar face. He walked to his friend with long strides..
“How are you here? I didn't say I wouldn't be able to come to graduation.?”
“I was able to come a day early thanks to the company’s consideration. So I went home and my mother told me to quickly go to the student council..”
“If you had known this would be the case, you could have just given the graduation speech.…….”
“haha. I didn't have the nerve to do that. And you're the one giving the valedictorian speech this year, right?.”
In the past, the two young men were called the Blue Dragon Couple and had high expectations from many people..
Geo Sang-woong and Bang Baek-hyun, who were about to graduate, playfully bumped their fists as if they were back when they were freshmen..
“……It's been a while for both of you.”
At that time, a young man with a tired voice and a somewhat old-fashioned appearance approached them. A smile full of joy appeared on Geo Sangwoong’s face once again..
“It’s been a while since Hyeongwoo Mok! How about the Imperial Palace??”
Mo Hyeong-woo shook his head with deep shadows under his eyes..
“…… It's a scary place. I'm really glad and grateful that the monk looked at me favorably, but... … I don't know if I can do well there..”
Seeing Mok Hyeong-woo's timid appearance as if he had lost confidence, two people who were in the same grade but were much younger brothers came to comfort him..
“You'll do well though. Isn’t your brother an experienced worker with military experience??”
“If you're having a hard time, quit it and come to the Murim Alliance. There are many people in our group who view Brother Mok Hyeong-woo favorably..”
“haha… … . I don't know if I should like this or not... … . By the way, all of Omangnani’s juniors are doing well.?”
While the three men were chatting for a while, Dang Soso opened the door and appeared..
“Seniors. Have you been waiting long??”
But Dangsoso was not alone. Following her, students with a strangely gloomy atmosphere came in one after another..
Each of them had a small presence and sharp eyes, so if I had encountered them without knowing, I might have thought that experienced assassins had barged in..
“Friends who came with us afterward… … I am not affiliated with Papa Rock Ji.?”
The first person to notice their identity was Baekhyun Bang. Indeed, a member of the Murim League's Tongcheon University and former student council president had a sharp eye..
“that's right. Paparakji members decided to help..”
“What help??”
“The reason we gathered our seniors today is…….”
Clap la la rock-
When Dangsoso winked, the Paparakji members began to spread out the literary materials they had brought with them on the floor..
The restrained gesture felt like a basic formula, so fourth graders who didn't know English flinched without realizing it..
“What, what??”
“you. what did you do…….”
Tang Soso smiled and reassured his seniors..
“Before the graduation ceremony, I would like to leave a photo of each of our seniors..”
“No, suddenly like this……?”
“You should have told me in advance. I just came here without even washing..”
“Even if it's just fine clothes…….”
Fourth grade students about to graduate looked around at each other awkwardly. I was embarrassed and embarrassed that someone suddenly drew a picture of my appearance..
The person who came forward at that time was Geo Sang-woong..
“Hahaha! Sounds fun.?”
He understood Tang Xiaoxiao’s intentions. This is to create one last good memory for the graduating seniors..
“My junior has prepared this for me, so I can’t leave it out. so what should i do?”
“You can take a comfortable position. You can wear the clothes and weapons over there..”
When I asked why there were weapons and clothes on display in one corner of the room, it seemed like they were placed there as props..
Geo Sang-woong stroked the head of Eun-ho, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and asked his juniors..
“Could you please draw this guy too??”
“Well, of course!”
“I actually like it better…….”
Kyaaa?
Eunho woke up to the sparkling eyes looking at him..
“haha. Soso planned something fun..”
“……As time passes, these memories become more precious..”
Bang Baek-hyeon and Mok Hyeong-woo also smiled and took their respective poses..
Bang Baek-hyeon turned his body to the side and slightly drew his sword, while Mo Hyeong-woo held his spear and took a stabbing stance that he had practiced more than anyone else over the past four years..
“You can try on the clothes here?”
“I should have brought the group uniform I wore during the Emperor of Heavenly Wu..”
“Doesn't anyone have a longing??”
As the three people took the first step, other fourth graders also waited for their turn one by one. Although some felt embarrassed or awkward at first, everyone eventually enjoyed the situation..
Tang Soso, who was watching this, laughed quietly and eerily..
“Hehehe. Now, I won't have to worry if my seniors who have graduated go to the competition and get into an accident. The graduate who tarnishes the reputation of Cheongryong Academy is... … We will hunt you down ourselves..”
“ha ha ha…….”
“Well, let’s pretend I didn’t hear that..”
Dangsoso may say something like that, but his intention was probably much greater to create memories for seniors about to graduate. maybe…….
Anyway, it was a fun time for everyone. The whole process of holding various postures, including the martial arts technique that each person enjoys using, talking about memories accumulated over the past four years, and drawing pictures of them, became new memories again..
“See you all tomorrow then!”
“Those who go out to drink! don't be late!”
“Geo Sang-woong! Looking forward to the graduate speech tomorrow.!”
The way back was already getting dark. It was winter, when the sun set quickly. Geo Sang-ung walked towards Baekryongjang with a cheerful pace, as if he was drunk even though he had not even had a drink..
Eun- ho, who was in Geo Sang-woong’s arms, stuck out his head in the chilly night air. As Eun-ho’s eyes focused on one place, Geo Sang-woong asked with a puzzled look on his face..
“why? there's something over there…….”
After a while, Geo Sang-woong also discovered the outline of a person approaching in the dark. Lightly tense muscles wriggled so that they could move explosively at any time..
But after a while, Geo Sangwoong's eyes widened and the corners of his mouth turned up..
“……teacher!”
“I feel better?”
Baek Su-ryong was walking with his signature sly smile. He asked when he saw that his disciple came from the direction of Blue Dragon Hall..
“Nothing special happened?”
“I'm on my way back after stopping by the student council. The party prepared something fun for the graduates..”
“……Dangso Soga?”
Geo Sang-woong had to suppress his laughter at the sight of Baek Soo-ryong being nervous. When I remembered that most of the few names that made the world's best people nervous were in the Blue Dragon Academy, I couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing..
“ha ha ha… … ! Oh, what about the manager and student head teacher who went with us??”
“The two went straight to the school building. Well, it's almost as if my father was taken away..”
“teacher. I decided to give the graduate speech..”
“……okay? That's good.”
When Baeksu-ryong and Geo Sang-woong returned together, Baekryongjang immediately became noisy..
“teacher!”
“Oh, why are you coming now?!”
“What about our gift??”
“I didn’t just come here to eat with my senior.?”
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head at the sight of his disciples flocking in and chatting like baby birds waiting for their mother bird..
“These guys. I'm going crazy, so let's sit down for a moment..”
It was the scene of Baekryongjang that had become familiar to everyone over the past year. Geo Sang-woong took a step back from his juniors and took in the sight..
“…….”
It finally felt real..
Tomorrow, I will have to put an end to my four years at Cheongryong Academy..
