Chapter 71
##71fury. Today is vacation
one month.
For some, it's short enough to feel like it passed in the blink of an eye, and for others, it's an incredibly long time..
Time was fair to everyone, but the results obtained during that time were never fair.
“This is Cheongryong Academic Center.……!”
Gongsunsu looked up at the large plaque with an expression of emotion..
Blue Dragon Academy).
The warrior-like handwriting seemed to be alive and writhing..
Gongsun Su couldn't control his emotions and clenched his fists..
“How dare I come here…….”
“Indeed. If anyone hears it, they'll think you've already passed. You made a fuss when you barely came to apply for admission..”
Heonwon-gang grumbled next to him, but that wasn't enough to put an end to the overwhelming emotion Gongsunsu felt..
“Hehehe! Don’t they say well begun is half done?!”
worked really hard.
I worked so hard that the clothes made of tough cotton became worn in places and the color faded to gray, and calluses formed on my hands and the calluses were torn and new calluses were formed on top of them..
And as I stood in front of this place, I couldn't help but feel a new emotion..
“Anyway, the line is really long..”
Wi Ji-cheon said, looking at the long line in front of him. Compared to a month ago, the boy seemed to have gained quite a bit of muscle..
“Last year, the year before last, it wasn't to this extent... … . It's a bit much this year.”
On the contrary, Heon Won-gang lost some weight and his jawline became sharper over the course of a month. But my body felt stronger..
Even though they left right after completing early morning training, there was already a long waiting line in front of them..
“Hehehe! It truly lives up to the reputation of the Moorim Five University Museum! There are so many devoted young people!”
‘Doesn’t this old man know that among the five major halls, the Blue Dragon Hall is the worst? Or does it not matter…….’
Heonwon-gang was suddenly curious, but he was not tactless enough to ask that question here..
“Hehehehe!”
Gongsunsu was very excited..
I often looked around and admired even trivial things. He looked like a child holding his parent's hand and coming out to play at a festival..
People around him glanced, but Gongsunsu didn't even pay attention..
“Do you guys know what's good about getting older? This means that the skin on your face becomes thicker.!”
“We're not thick yet, so stop it.…….”
“grandfather…….”
At the request of the two people, whose faces turned red from the pouring gaze, Gongsunsu patted them on the back and laughed..
Gongsunsu looked down at his calloused hands and grinned and muttered..
“……Anyway, time flies so fast. There are only three days left until the entrance exam..”
Three days later, the entrance exam to the Blue Dragon Academy finally begins..
Although I received the application for immigration through documents a month ago, I was able to come and register in person starting today..
You must complete registration within three days to be eligible to participate in the entrance exam, which will begin three days later..
The reason the three people came here today was to register their application for admission..
Murmur.
A few days ago, the entire city was crowded with applicants for entrance exams from all over the country..
“Applicants for the entrance exam should prepare a passport and letter of recommendation to prove their identity in advance.!”
The guard shouted in front of the main gate..
In order to take the entrance exam to the Blue Dragon Academy, you had to prove that your status was in good condition, and you also had to receive a letter of recommendation from a military officer, clan, family member, or a trustworthy guarantor..
“joy. They say it is to thin out the ganja in Sapa, but... … Where can I find a proper Sapa these days? I'm just going to filter it appropriately from the beginning..”
Wijicheon felt a pang inside at Heonwongang's cynical words..
Although he was not a ganja of Sapa, he was from the Eight Great Families, one of the pillars of blood religion in the past.
‘Although the blood religion was ruined before I was even born.…….’
They say my identity could be revealed, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all worried..
In the past, I thought I might have to live quietly and hide my identity for the rest of my life..
However, Baek Soo-ryong, who brought Wi Ji-cheon to this city and gave him a new identity, and his grandfather, Wi Ji-yeol, actively supported his grandson's admission to the Blue Dragon Academy..
-Cheonah. From now on, forget about blood religion. You will now live as a member of a political faction..
Last night, Wi Ji-yeol, the last head of the Wi-ji family, sat across from his grandson and said that..
- It's impossible to hide all your life. It's better to blend in. Entered Cheongryong Academy at the top of his class and graduated at the top of his class. So no one can doubt you.
Baek Soo-ryong also gave similar advice..
He even wrote a letter of recommendation to Wi Ji-cheon using his status as an active Cheongryong Academy instructor..
‘I have received a favor from you that I can't repay even if I spend my entire life..’
Wi Ji-cheon pressed the recommendation letter he kept in his arms with his palm..
I decided to do my best for the two people who believed in me..
‘I don't know if I can become a top student with my skills.…….’
Honestly, I didn't even dream about it..
Wi Ji-cheon watched the line shrink little by little with a nervous expression, hoping he could just pass..
“The teacher must be inside, right? Since you went to work earlier,…….”
“Even if you go in, it will probably be hard to meet you. The life guidance department teachers are quite busy. It's probably more so these days because I'm preparing for the entrance exam..”
Heonwongang, who was next to him, answered with a slightly smug expression..
Since it is still routine to get beaten up just for sparring, there have been few opportunities for Wi Ji-cheon to establish his prestige as an older brother and senior like today..
“Relax. Because it’s no big deal.”
This was the reason why Heon Won-gang was so arrogant and heavy on his shoulders today..
In fact, current students were able to go straight into the Cheongryong Academic Center without waiting, but they had to stand in line and explain various things to them..
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask me..”
“Yes, senior.!”
“Heh heh. I feel reassured because I have a senior..”
As the waiting line gradually got shorter, Wi Ji-cheon's turn got closer and closer..
At that time, the inside of the Blue Dragon Academy became a little noisy, and a man who appeared to be an instructor walked out from inside..
The man shouted with all his heart so that everyone could hear..
“Currently, there are a lot of applicants for admission, so the inside of Cheongryong Academic Hall is very crowded! From now on, we will prohibit entry of family members or acquaintances other than those applying for admission to the Cheongryong Academic Hall.!”
Soon complaints began to emerge from all over the place..
“How can this suddenly happen?!”
“I came from far away!”
Parents who came with their children and people who came to support their friends (and to see the Cheongryong Academic Museum) grumbled, asking where such a law was..
However, the policy of Cheongryong Academic Center did not change..
After checking the application form and recommendation letter at the main gate, only applicants were allowed inside..
Wi Ji-cheon and his party were equally embarrassed..
“Heh heh. If this continues, you'll have to wait outside..”
“……Elderly. That can't be possible.”
Heukyeong, who had been standing quietly without saying a word all this time, shook his head..
Her mission was to be with Gongsun Su wherever he went and to protect his safety even at the cost of her life..
“If I am not by my elder’s side, I cannot respond in case of an unexpected situation..”
“Isn’t that what the Cheongryong Academy regulations are like? And what on earth happens in there?.”
“Just in case…….”
assassination attempt.
Heukyeong couldn’t bear to say those words. Of course, Gongsunsu understood enough..
he said with a grin.
“Don't worry too much. If that was going to happen, it would have been there a long time ago. And aren’t there such strong comrades by my side?.”
Gongsunsu stretched out his hands to both sides and put his arm around Wei Jicheon and Heonwongang. Heon Won-gang grumbled, saying he was not a classmate but a senior..
‘Those two are pretty strong though…….’
Still, Heukyeong could not feel at ease. She only sent a message to Gongsun Xiu..
[If it doesn't work out, I'll use stealth techniques and follow you..]
“Don't do it.”
Gongsunsu shook his head with a stern expression. Then he sent a message.
[There must be several martial arts experts in there. Are you confident that you can fool all their eyes??]
[……Let's try it.]
Most of the martial arts learned by Heukyoung were specialized in lethal martial arts such as stealth, hiding, and assassination..
And the instructor who taught Heukyoung declared that she was the best trainee he had ever taught..
[I will follow you as carefully as possible. Unless you go to the center…….]
[Impossible.]
Gongsunsu shook his head and cut off Heukyeong mid-sentence..
[If you get caught, you'll be in a lot of trouble..]
A person who has learned the martial arts of death secretly sneaks into the Cheongryong Academy.?
The moment that fact is discovered, Heukyeong and Gongsunsu must reveal their identities for the sake of explanation..
And if Gongsunsu’s identity is revealed… … It was impossible to take the entrance exam for the Blue Dragon Academy..
The entrance exam is not the problem, but the Blue Dragon Academy will be overturned..
[I want to take the test purely on my own ability, without any noise..]
“…….”
Heukyeong was lost in thought for a moment..
After starting to learn martial arts at Baekryongjang, it was hard to believe how much Gongsunsoo had changed..
My body, which used to shiver just from the cold wind at dawn, became so healthy that I could trot, and I no longer drank the decoction I used to drink every day..
The most surprising change was the vitality on his face..
Although he suffered from unfamiliar muscle pain every day, he always had a satisfied smile on his face after training..
“Hehehe. I have never felt so fulfilled every day in my life..”
Heukyeong didn't like that either..
However, the mission she was given was to protect the object of her escort even at the cost of her life..
Since she had lived a life of obeying orders and being faithful to her mission all her life, she wanted to find a way somehow..
After gathering his thoughts for a while, Heukyeong came up with a solution..
[Even if I am discovered, I will keep quiet about you until the end. We are fully trained in torture, so you don’t have to worry. Cut your tongue if you have to…….]
Heukyeong stopped talking..
Gongsunsu's expression, who had been smiling the entire time he came here, was distorted horribly..
I've been an escort for years, but I've never seen a face as angry as that..
“Are you going to make me angry?.”
Upbringing, not eavesdropping.
Heukyeong was also taken aback by the voice that trembled with anger and responded in a voiceless voice..
“sorry. I don't mean that…….”
Gongsunsu walked over to Heukyeong and stretched out his hand..
Heukyeong slightly lowered his head, prepared to be slapped..
If Gongsunsu's anger was relieved, the cheek was nothing..
However, Gongsunsu did not slap Heiyoung on the cheek..
[black spirit.]
Instead, he grabbed her shoulder, faced her, and sent a signal..
[I don't know what you think of me, but I think of you like a daughter..]
“…….”
[How would you feel if you heard something like that??]
“Sorry... … do.”
Heukyeong didn't know what answer to give or what expression to make at this moment..
Because I didn't receive that kind of training..
Gongsun Xiu sighed softly, patted her on the shoulder, and then said:.
“Jeong: If you feel uncomfortable, give an order. Today is vacation.”
“yes……?”
Heukyeong’s eyes were filled with embarrassment and shook greatly..
Gongsunsu chuckled as if he found that sight funny..
“Go and eat as much as you want, buy clothes and accessories, and if there is a place you want to go, have fun..”
“Uh, old man.?”
“Again, it's a command. If you violate it, I will dismiss you from my guard..”
“…….”
Heukyeong could not hide his embarrassment at Gongsunsu's stern gaze..
What a vacation!.
Normally, this could have been passed off as a joke, but now the look in Gongsun Su's eyes was one that one should not dare refuse..
In the end, she had no choice but to follow orders.
“All right.”
“We will register the application for admission and return by evening, so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest..”
“……yes.”
“go right now.”
Heukyeong, whose back was pushed by Gongsunsu, looked around for a while with an expression of not knowing where to go, then slowly walked towards the market..
* * *
“……I heard something you said to Heukyoung’s sister earlier.?”
Heonwon-gang asked with an expression of not being very curious..
However, as he was glancing at Heukyeong's back from earlier, he seemed to be very curious about the conversation the two had over the phone..
“Didn't you hear everything? I said I would give you a vacation and tell you to come and have fun..”
“What kind of vacation do you give me like that? The person on vacation looks like an abandoned puppy.…….”
“senior. There are people in this world with all kinds of stories..”
Gongsunsu did not elaborate further..
Even he doesn't know everything about Heukyoung's life..
It would be arrogant and rude to talk about something you don't know much about..
“Tsk…….”
Heonwongang also did not ask for more details. I was just complaining out of habit..
“Anyway, that's a strange sister over there too. If you're like other people, you'd date for a while and at that age, you'd end up doing something like guarding an elderly person.…….”
“……Senior Wongang. Are you interested in Heukyoung??”
“yes? What is your interest?…….”
“Thank goodness. She's like a daughter to me.”
“……for a moment. What does that sigh of relief mean??”
“Hehehe…….”
“No, who cares? This young man…….”
“Hehehehe!”
“I'm not interested! Hey, Wijicheon! Why are you smiling so sinisterly?!”
“Senior. You had that kind of taste.…….”
Just as Heonwon-gang was about to get angry at the two people's teasing, the waiting line in front disappeared and the guard at the main gate shouted..
“Next applicants please come in!”
The three people approached there, hastily taking out documents..
and.
“I think it's right?”
“…….”
There was a gaze quietly looking at the backs of the three people..
