Chapter 68

##68fury. What to do?

There were three students standing behind Namgungsu..

two men and one woman.

All three of them looked similar in age to Wi Ji-cheon..

‘The basics all look good..’

All three had stable breathing and good posture for their age..

Usually, if you learn martial arts as soon as you start walking, you get that feeling..

“Master. But who is Wi Ji-cheon??”

At that time, the boy in the middle of the three asked Namgungsu..

He was a guy whose aura and appearance were so similar that I thought he was a miniature version of Namgungsu..

‘Could it be that he is Namgungsu’s son??’

That's what I was thinking, but the way he spoke and the way he acted was very similar..

The boy tilted his head and muttered..

“Wijicheon… … . It's a name I've never heard of before. Among the students taking the entrance exam this year, I remember all the review scores that I need to pay attention to.…….”

“I don't know either.”

Namgungsu smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder..

“I don't even want to know. Even a hedgehog is fond of his own children, so wouldn't it be freedom to think that the students he teaches are outstanding?.”

“ah.”

Ah, what ouch.

The two of them got along so well that it only seemed like they were trying to embarrass me..

Mae Geuk-ryeom must have been thinking the same thing as me, so he frowned slightly and changed the topic..

“Teacher Namgung. Would you like to introduce the children later? I don't think it would be a bad thing for me to know in advance if the kids are going to be freshmen this year..”

At that moment, a kid who resembled Nam Gung-su stepped forward and took the gun..

Even at a glance, it was a sharp move that made you feel like he was a child of a prestigious family..

“Greetings from Namgoongseok, the martial arts scholar of Moorim! It is a great honor to meet the legendary swordsman Geomchi Daeseonbae..”

“……There is no need to be overly polite. Are you of the Namgung family??”

“yes. My father…….”

A kid named Namgung-seok introduced himself for a while, starting with his father, then his grandfather, uncle, and uncle. He went on to say that he had heard the great name of Geomchi since he was young and how much he respected him as a swordsman like him..

……Anyway, the political factions are a tired bunch..

Maegeukryeom was also tired of the story he had memorized and waved his hands..

“Stop it. I don't even remember anyway.”

“……yes.”

Namgoongseok lowered his head and this time his gaze turned towards me..

Unlike when you see Mae Geuk-ryeom, your eyes are cold..

Moreover, the corners of his mouth were slightly twisted..

‘Look at this guy?’

As I stared at him, Namgoongseok’s expression changed in an instant..

The guy grabbed me with an apologetic face and said,.

“Because I have limited experience, I do not know your nickname or title. Teach a foolish junior.”

“…….”

A courteous yet polite attitude that is beyond reproach on the outside..

However, I felt a subtle disregard and ridicule within it..

‘What a clever guy..’

I chuckled and answered briefly..

“I am a white water dragon.”

“White Water Dragon…….”

Namgoongseok couldn't erase his embarrassed expression even though he was muttering my name to himself..

No matter how much I think about it, an expression that says I don’t know who I am.

Actually it's natural.

I am not a renowned martial arts expert, nor do I come from a prestigious family or a famous school..

“White water dragon? ah! That braggart!”

The guy on Namgoongseok’s left giggled and covered his mouth..

He was a slightly taller and thinner boy than Namgung-seok, and of the three, he had the fiercest and most evil eyes..

“A young man! Watch your mouth. He's the instructor who might be teaching us starting this year..”

The girl on Namgungseok's right said as she glared at the tall boy called Jo Maksaeng..

I wondered why there were normal disciples under Namgungsu.…….

“Well, I'm a temporary instructor who doesn't know what will happen in three months..”

The girl makes eye contact with me, snorts, and turns her head away..

okay. Well then.

The consistent, cheesy appearance of all of them was just like Namgungsu’s disciples..

“Tsk tsk. Jinjin. Aren’t you being too harsh with your teacher? Teacher, look at the stiff expression on your face..”

“shut up. I told you not to call my name because it was gross.?”

“It's expensive. I'm not interested in people like you either.?”

“This is really…….”

“stop both of you.”

““…….””

Cho Mak-saeng and Jin-jin, who were bickering, fell silent at Namgung-seok's words..

It was a look that showed at once who was the center of the group..

Namgoongseok bowed his head and said to me..

“I apologize on behalf of my friends. What are you doing! You don't even apologize quickly!”

“sorry.”

“sorry…….”

Following Namgung Seok, all three bowed their heads to me..

However, it was only his head that was lowered, his eyes were still arrogant and his attitude was extremely bad..

It was obvious without even looking what these guys thought of me..

Temporary instructor who will be fired in three months.

An unknown small-time graduate who did not even have a small reputation in Moorim..

So, there is no need to respect or notice anything..

The three cheeky little kids were ignoring me, thinking that was what I was doing..

‘Whoever taught it was very good..’

Namgungsu, who had been quietly watching what his disciples were doing until then, stepped forward..

“Teacher Baek. Don't pay any attention to this as it is said by young children who do not yet know much about it. Go back and give me a harsh admonition..”

Puck too.

We had a row over some things during the entrance exam, but after that, thanks to the intervention of the president of Cheongryong Academy, Noh Gun-sang, we are now at least respectful of each other..

Of course, it was just polite words, there was no way our relationship was good..

“haha. Teacher Namgung’s character education for his students is truly impressive..”

When I smiled brightly and mocked Namgungsu, Mae Geukryeom sighed with an uncomfortable expression next to me..

“Can't we both stop??”

Grandpa, I really want to stop..

I don't think that kid has the heart to do that..

Namgungsu said while glaring at me with cold eyes..

“I heard that Heon Won-gang was taken out of the dormitory not long ago..”

“Because I have talent. I plan to take some time to teach it..”

“You definitely have talent.”

When I asked why he suddenly asked about Heonwon-gang’s well-being, Namgungsu’s expression was filled with ridicule..

“But he's lazy by nature. Lazy and weak. For three years, I didn't even think about trying and just blamed the world..”

“So you told me to drop out? They threatened not to give me a diploma.?”

Namgungsu nodded obediently to my question..

“That guy has already tarnished the reputation of the academy several times. There was no sign of reflection.”

“It's not that I didn't like it because I didn't do what I was told.?”

I knew about it because I heard the story between Heonwon-gang and Namgung-su..

- Catch it. This is the last chance I give you. Come to my class starting tomorrow. This is the last opportunity that can change your life..

Namgungsu said that while extending his hand to Heonwongang, and Heonwongang shook his hand away..

That incident must have scratched Namgoongsu’s pride..

Because Heonwongang shook off that hand and held my hand..

“There were no personal feelings. I just thought it would be better for him to drop out without wasting any more time. I still feel the same way now..”

“I'm not angry because you didn't hold my hand.?”

Namgoongsu snorted at my direct question..

“That can't be possible. It's just a pity. The person who rejected my offer and just went to see me…….”

Namgungsu said no more and just looked at me..

Of course, I did not avoid his gaze and grinned..

“Haven't you found a better teacher? I don't know if you know this, but he has very good eyes..”

“It seemed like he was a perfect teacher for his level. They say that we stick together like that..”

“Oh, really? So your disciples…….”

As we were arguing without giving even an inch to each other, Mae Geuk-ryeom got in the middle of it, shouting angrily..

“I can't watch you anymore. Can't we both stop?!”

We closed our mouths and glared at each other at that chilling momentum..

It was Namgungsu who turned first..

But he didn't stop being sarcastic until the end..

“Heonwon River is a failure. With a guy like that, he won the Cheonmu Emperor... … . We'll see how many days it lasts. Let's go now.”

“yes!”

Namgungsu turned around without hesitation, as if he had said everything he wanted to say..

But what I have to say isn't over yet..

“Hey Namgoongsu.”

When I suddenly called him informally, he turned to me with an unpleasant gaze..

“Then, would you like to make a bet with me??”

“……bet?”

Namgungsu laughed at me..

“It seems like Mr. Baek really likes betting. That's a bet you can't afford..”

“If you're scared, you don't have to.”

“……Just listen to it once. What bet do you want to make?.”

“white water dragon!!!”

Mae Geuk-ryeom shouted from the side with a scary expression, but I ignored the voice for just this moment..

‘Heonwon River is a failure.?’

He's the one who talks like that about my students..

If I just walked away from here, it would be no different from smearing shit on my own face..

Because I am the only person in the world who can curse and hit Heon Won-gang..

“Entrance exam this year. Which of us teaches students gets better grades? Let's bet on that.”

“…….”

Namgungsu, who was silent for a moment, suddenly said, “Puh-ha-ha!” and laughed.

It wasn't just Namgungsu. The young guys standing behind him with stern expressions also burst into laughter..

“what nonsense…….”

“Hahaha!”

“Big…….”

Nam Gung-su, who finally stopped laughing, shook his head and asked me..

“Do you really think that's a bet??”

“If you're scared, you can just go..”

Namgungsu smiled and asked with a relaxed expression..

“If you do, what will you bet on??”

Something just occurred to me.

“Teacher Namgung. If I win.”

I smiled brightly again, changing from informal to polite language..

Because if I do this, I feel like I'll feel better and won't be able to refuse..

“How about I teach one of Mr. Namgoong's classes this semester??”

At that moment, Namgungsu’s expression suddenly became cold..

For Nam Goong-su, who has a stronger pride than anyone else as a one-time instructor, saying that he would take away one of his classes was a tremendous provocation and challenge..

“dare…….”

Namgungsu glared at me for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said,.

“Conversely, if I win?”

“well. I didn't think about it because it never happened... … If there's anything you want, let's say it openly..”

“if i win…….”

Namgungsu thought for a moment and smiled as if a good idea came to him..

“How about Mr. Baek clean my room every morning and evening??”

“…….”

That bastard…….

Namgungsu knew how to piss people off just as much as me..

I wouldn't have felt so bad if I had bet money or told him to leave the Blue Dragon Academy if he won..

what? Tell me to clean your room?

If you endure things like that, you are not a man..

“great. Then that's what you do?”

“Don't say anything after losing.”

“Who can say anything? The witness…….”

We turned our heads at the same time and looked at Mae Geukryeom..

“This is what the student head teacher here does..”

“This is what teacher Mae Geuk-ryeom here does..”

As we spoke at the same time, Mae Geuk-ryeom's expression went beyond anger and he looked dejected. And then I sighed in despair..

“Huh. What the hell are all the grown ups… … . okay. Do whatever you want..”

After the bet was settled, we turned and walked in opposite directions..

Cheongryong Academy entrance exam to be held in a month.

I burned up my enthusiasm with the thought of flattening the bridge of Namgungsu’s nose..
