Chapter 89
##89fury. Gongsunsu Applicant!
The person in charge of the afternoon exam was Kwak Cheol-woo, the deputy owner of Cheongryong Academy..
“Applicants who have received a free ticket must move to the waiting area behind the designated free stage.!”
“Parents and friends are requested to go to the audience.!”
“Sparring opponents are randomly selected through a drawing! Even if you ask me, I don’t know!”
“Quiet! Quiet! please be quiet!”
A huge crowd of people flocked to the Cheongryong Academic Hall. Kwak Cheol-woo, who had been in control for a while, became exhausted and collapsed on a chair..
“Where on earth was the student dean at a time like this?!”
Kwak Cheol-woo hit the armrest of the chair as if he was angry..
Controlling the number of people entering was originally the responsibility of the student dean..
However, the student dean came to see him earlier, left a few words, and left..
-Deputy Director. I have some business to run, so please control the number of people..
-……yes?
The student dean speaks informally to the adjutant dean.!
Moreover, you are handing over work as if you were a subordinate.!
‘In which of the five university halls does something like this happen?!’
The Cheongryong Academy.
Kwak Cheol-woo was not only a high-ranking man in the academy, but he was no match for Mae Geuk-ryeom either as a Jjambap, as a martial artist, or as a martial artist..
Because of this, I couldn't say a word, and I've been working without even being able to rest..
Kwak Cheol-woo gritted his teeth and muttered quietly..
“Just wait and see. Someday I'll kick that nasty old guy out of the academy.…….”
“Is that about me??”
“omg!”
Kwak Cheol-woo jumped up because Noh Gun-sang suddenly spoke from behind his back..
“Wow, governor! You thought my heart was falling!”
“It's been a lot of hard work. I came here to help you..”
“How can I help you... … . Cha, Changcheon Sword King is also here..”
“It's been a while. Do you need help from this old man??”
If it was just one person, Kwak Cheol-woo was not brave enough to dare to ask Namgung Je-hak, a member of the Ten Lords, for help..
‘What an old bastard. At the youngest age…….’
“Is there something on my face??”
Kwak Cheol-woo, who looked enviously for a moment at Namgung Je-hak's face without a single wrinkle on his skin, quickly lowered his head and said:.
“……no. I'll take care of this, so you two can watch in peace..”
“Heh heh. Well then, good luck.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
After returning to the VIP table, Lu Jun-sang and Nangong Jehak looked around the Cheongryonghak Museum with their backs turned..
Ten non-stages prepared for testing.
The surrounding stands were already full..
The fear and excitement felt by the applicants, as well as the enthusiasm of support from their families and acquaintances, seemed to be transmitted far and wide..
Noh Gun-sang smiled and said.
“Don’t you feel like you’re back in your childhood at this time? It was the time when I was a fluffy baby and unmanned..”
“well. I'm not sure about that..”
In response to Nangong Jehak's answer, Lu Junsang clicked his tongue and looked at his friend's young face..
“That's because you're still fluffy. As I transformed, my emotions disappeared. It is said that it is a virtue of an elderly person to think about old memories as they grow older day by day..”
“So you don't want to change your mind.?”
“Please tell me the secret.”
The two old men laughed as they exchanged trivial jokes..
Nangung Jehak looked around the crowded Cheongryonghak Museum and said:.
“There are more people than I thought. Is it really like this??”
“No, there are a lot of them this year..”
It was the Blue Dragon Academy that showed the worst performance in the Tianwu Emperor over the past decade..
Therefore, the number of visitors to the entrance exam was gradually decreasing..
But for some reason, this year there were a lot more people than last year..
Noh was able to guess several reasons..
“The biggest reason is because of you.”
Changcheon Sword King Namgung Jehak.
Many martial people and even ordinary people came to see the face of the Ten Lords, the strongest in the martial arts world..
In fact, a huge amount of attention was focused on the two people..
“What is the second reason??”
“Isn’t it because we are the favorites to win the Cheonmuje Championship??”
As Noh was joking, he remembered a person's face..
-This year’s Cheonmu Festival. I will take responsibility and make Blue Dragon Academy the winner..
On that day, Baek Soo-ryong's declaration of war spread beyond Cheongryong Hall, the entire city, and the entire martial forest..
Of course, most of the reactions so far have been astonishment..
‘But it is definitely having a positive impact..’
I wonder if the fact that there are so many talented children among the applicants who took the entrance exam for the Blue Dragon Academy this year may have had some influence from Baek Soo-ryong's declaration of war..
Lu Jun-sang looked back at Nangong Je-hak with such thoughts..
“Just wait and see. Because this year, the Blue Dragon Academy will produce work at the Tianmu Festival..”
In the past, I would have made fun of him for not being able to do anything, but Namgung Jehak didn't do that..
“I really don't know if that's true.”
“Hoo?”
At that moment, Gongsunsu and his group were entering the Blue Dragon Academy..
Nangong Jehak's gaze turned to Gongsunsu, Heonwongang, and Wijicheon in turn..
The eyes of Noh Gun-sang next to him naturally turned in the same direction..
“I heard there was only one person who taught those three..”
“Huh. Has his name already reached your ears??”
“I don't know the details, so please tell me..”
“His name is Baek Soo-ryong, and he is a friend who joined us as a new instructor this year. Oh, there it is..”
Noh's finger pointed in one direction..
Baek Soo-ryong was patrolling the audience with other temporary instructors, including Ak Yeon-ho..
Nangong Jehak stared at him for a moment as if his eyes were piercing..
“Hmm. It doesn't look that great. He does have a handsome face, though... … . once…….”
“Don't do it.”
“……what?”
When I turned to the side, Noh Gun-sang had a hardened expression and spoke in a low voice..
“Don't try it. He's a teacher at our school.”
“Hmm. What did I do?.”
Namgung Jehak cleared his throat as if he had been stabbed for no reason..
Because it was true that I had tried to visit Baek Su-ryong once..
“I'm just curious as to what your level is as a martial artist..”
“Please don't do it..”
“Sigh. If you even ask me…….”
When Namgung Jehak nodded that he understood, Noh Gunsang's expression relaxed..
A smile appeared on his lips again..
“Good idea. If you came forward just to test something and got embarrassed, wouldn't you be in a lot of trouble?.”
“……Is that a joke??”
“Hehehehe!”
Because the old man spoke so well of both jokes and seriousness, Namgung Jehak could not tell whether his strange words were joking or serious..
‘When you say it like that, I’m even more curious..’
Nangong Jehak's gaze did not leave Baek Su-ryong for a while..
* * *
“……My face will be pierced.”
“What kind of woman is this again? Anyway, this guy’s popularity is…….”
When Ak Yeon-ho looked around and asked, Baek Soo-ryong sighed a little..
“not a woman.”
If I had been a woman, I wouldn't have had cold sweat running down my back like this..
‘Changcheon Sword King.’
There is a reason why it always appears when discussing the strongest person in the current martial arts world..
Even looking at it from that far away, my skin felt tingly..
‘I wish you would stop paying attention to me.’
From the moment Baek Soo-ryong learned that Namgung Jehak was watching, he was as careful as possible in his actions..
A master of the tenth degree is in itself like a natural disaster..
If it offended me or intrigued me, I couldn't resist it with Baek Soo-ryong's current skills..
‘If you ever notice that I have learned the Reverse Heavenly Art,…….’
I didn't even want to imagine it.
As Nangong Jehak had participated in the war against the Blood Cult fifty years ago, there was a possibility that he knew well about the martial arts of the Clan Cult..
The bottom line is that it should be as inconspicuous as possible..
“Unless you're a woman... … no way? Well, if you have a face like yours, it doesn't matter what gender you are..”
“This kid is really.”
After hitting Ak Yeon-ho on the back of the head, who nodded in understanding, Baek Soo-ryong turned his head and looked around..
Fortunately, as the exam began in earnest, Nangong Jehak's attention was quickly withdrawn..
[The location of the sprinklers is?]
[I'm still figuring it out..]
Ak Yeon-ho touched the back of his head and answered in full voice..
When I asked other colleagues scattered around the place, they all gave similar answers..
As the assassins began to be wary of the enemy, it was not as easy to find them as before..
[But brother. Could it be that assassins run rampant in a place with so many martial people??]
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and answered Akh Yeon-ho's question filled with hope..
[The energetic young dancers gathered to perform the dance and the audience filled the auditorium. There is no other place where accidents are more likely to occur than here.?]
[Okay…….]
Baek Soo-ryong patted Yeon-ho Ak’s shoulder, whose expression was sour..
“Don't relax. Because they will come out desperately from now on..”
“…….”
Heukyeong has already contacted the imperial palace..
The assassins must have fully anticipated that fact..
They will probably try to kill Gongsunsu within today..
“Let's watch carefully.”
Baek Soo-ryong opened his mood as wide as possible and did not miss even the slightest changes in the audience..
The sparring test was taking place on as many as ten non-stages..
Wow!!
Loud cheers and applause erupted. The winner was decided on one of the non-stages..
“I, applicant Namgoong Seok, win.!”
The referee seemed embarrassed and stuttered when saying the winner's name..
That was because it was very rare for a freshman applicant to beat a student council senior in a sparring match..
Even against student council executives..
“Senior. thank you for watching.”
Namgung-seok spoke politely, but the audience and the other person knew that it was humility..
“……lost.”
The boy who was looking down at his weapon with a vain expression was the older brother of the student council twins called Blue Dragon Twin Girls..
Baek Soo-ryong narrowed his eyes and looked at Nam Gung-seok..
‘I prepared thoroughly..’
Namgungseok's weapon was a sword, especially a fast and sharp sword..
On the other hand, the twin brother's weapon was a rope..
It was an unusual weapon among the martial arts weapons, and as such, it was a very difficult weapon to deal with..
‘It's a weapon that you rarely have to deal with on a daily basis.…….’
Namgung- seok responded skillfully as if he had dealt with Poseung-jul many times, and cut off Poseung-jul little by little, eventually approaching the opponent and lightly stabbing him in the shoulder with his sword..
Baeksu-ryong turned his head and looked for Namgungsu in the distance. He had an expressionless face as usual..
“Looks like you did a thorough preparation..”
A little while later, on another non-stage, Jin Jin, another student taught by Nam Goong Soo, also won against a senior student council member..
“Jin Jin Seung!”
“Ahhhh!”
Unlike Namgungsu, Jinjin, who won with great difficulty, jumped up and down in his place..
Both of the students taught by Namgoongsu caused a surprise by defeating their student council seniors..
People everywhere in the audience said, “These are children taught by Namgung-su, after all.”, “It’s not for nothing that he’s not an instructor.” I heard stories like.
But Baek Soo-ryong wasn’t even interested in those two..
The student he was interested in was the other one..
“Wow!”
With a powerful shout, the large boy pushed the student council senior with his whole body..
The boy had a youthful face, but he was already at least a head taller than most adults..
With tanned skin, the huge body was tightly packed with thick muscles..
“Wow! Come on! Don't avoid it, attack it!”
Even though his body was covered in bruises and his eyes were torn, the boy did not give up the fight..
He moved like a giant beast, swinging his fists to crush his opponent..
The worse referee stopped the match..
“Applicant Ya Soo-hyuk! stop! stop!”
“Wow!”
Ya Soo-hyuk, who could not calm his excitement even after the referee stopped him, continued to fuss for a long time..
Baek Su-ryong opened his eyes and looked at that figure..
“That size and personality... … . Who exactly comes to mind??”
A body that cannot control its innate spiritual power.
On the other hand, I barely felt any internal energy..
Maybe I haven't learned the inner gongsim method itself..
The impression that Ya Soo-hyuk made on Baek Soo-ryong was strong enough to catch the eye even though all the people around him were distracted by assassins targeting Gongsun Soo..
“That guy…….”
But Baek Soo-ryong could no longer look at Ya Soo-hyuk..
“Applicants for Gongsunsu, please come up.!”
At the referee's call, Gong Sonsu was going up to one of the off-stages..
At the same time, numerous eyes were focused on him..
