Chapter 90
##90fury. It was a good dance
“Phew…….”
Gongsunsu calmly took a deep breath and climbed the stairs to the off-stage..
I pretended to be calm in front of my Baekryongjang classmates, but as expected, I couldn't help but be nervous at this moment..
‘Heh heh. You've come a long way.’
I saw people filling the audience seats..
There will be very few people among them who will watch themselves closely..
But even just passing glances became a burden. The judges who looked at me with expressionless expressions were even afraid..
Gongsunsu gave strength to his stiff legs and climbed the stairs one by one..
It was then.
“uh? That old man, here a few days ago…….”
“Isn’t that the old man who fought with that guy named Chomaksaeng??”
“That's right. At that time, the old man won, but the loser made a cowardly surprise attack.…….”
More people than expected recognized Gongsunsu..
Some people were happy to accept it.
“Elderly! Cheer up!”
“You're old, but you're amazing. I think you're similar to my father.…….”
“Cheer up, old man! I passed the exam as if I was showing off among the young guys.!”
The middle-aged and elderly people in the audience put their hands together and shouted at them to cheer up..
They projected themselves in the image of Gongsunsu, the only old man among the young applicants..
“Grandfather! cheer up!”
Children holding the hands of adults waved their fern-like hands.
“Hehehe…….”
The unexpected support of so many people brought a smile to Gongsunsu's nervous face..
Gongsun Su, who was looking around, made eye contact with Baek Su-ryong for the last time..
Baek Soo-ryong narrowed one eye as if telling him not to worry..
“Thank you.”
Gongsunsu muttered softly and walked onto the off-stage with much lighter steps..
Coincidentally, an opponent was coming up from the other side as well..
At that moment, exclamations and sighs erupted from everywhere..
“……It's an honor. The student council president is my opponent..”
Student Council President Dok Go-jun.
The best review index of the current Cheongryong Academy, both in name and reality..
A young man with an upright posture, who clearly had received a very good home education, was standing in front of Gongsunsu..
“Do you think I'm unlucky because I'm the opponent??”
“In fact, it's the opposite..”
Gongsun Su smiled brightly and raised his sword. he said, taking a stance.
“I feel very lucky. I prayed to the gods of heaven and earth to allow me to spar with you if possible..”
it was sincere.
I hoped that I could spar with the best opponent without regrets..
Dok Go-jun looked at Gongsunsu for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“I'm sorry, but I don't think seniors should be allowed to enter the Blue Dragon Science Museum..”
“……hmm?”
It was not an arrogant or rude remark..
Dok Go-jun's eyes were sincere, and his tone was polite..
So Gongsunsu was curious about that child’s intentions..
“Is it a personal feeling??”
“no.
“If not, why?”
“……To put it bluntly, there is no possibility for seniors to grow further as unmanned people..”
Gongsunsu was not the only one who heard those words..
The examiners nearby looked surprised, and the expressions of Nangong Jehak and Lu Junsang also hardened..
However, there was no particular change in the expression of the person involved, Gongsunsu..
“Is that so??”
“I have many talented and potential friends. I think they should be new students at Blue Dragon Academy.”
“Does that mean I’m not qualified because I’m older? Should we give up our seats to young people just because we are old??”
“……I heard that the elderly man received expensive tutoring from Baek Soo-ryong..”
It was strange that Mr. Baek's name suddenly appeared, but since it was true, Gongsunsu nodded obediently..
“That's right.”
“Perhaps the old man is rich and has lived a life where he has achieved everything he wanted to achieve. Isn’t it martial arts that you turned your eyes away after that??”
“…….”
Dok Go-jun's eyes were extremely serious..
He also knew that his words could be rude to Gongsunsu..
But that didn't mean I had any desire to change my mind..
“For seniors, the Cheongryong Academy entrance exam is nothing more than entertainment and a hobby. But for someone else, it's an earnest goal..”
“……You talk like you know me well..”
“I don't know. But I know who is more desperate.”
A strong energy rose from Dok Go-jun's body as he raised his sword to its middle finger..
“If you want to continue learning martial arts, invite a master to your home and learn. Cheongryong Academy is not a place to go to learn martial arts as a hobby..”
“…….”
“Please give up admission after this sparring is over..”
“Give up?”
In fact, Gongsunsu had no intention of entering the Blue Dragon Academy even if he passed the entrance exam..
I couldn't do it even if I wanted to because there was a call from the imperial palace..
However, for Gongsunsu, this exam itself was the biggest challenge of his life..
“……Who on earth said that just because you're old doesn't mean you're earnest?.”
Wow.
Gongsun Su grabbed the handle of his sword and took half a step forward..
“I reject your offer. I will pass the entrance exam and proudly receive the Blue Dragon Medal..”
“…….”
As the conversation between the two became longer, boos erupted from the audience..
“Wooooow!”
“When are we going to fight?!”
“get started quickly!”
Neither of them had any intention of talking any more..
Dok Go-jun lowered his sword and said.
“I give up three seconds. It's the only consideration I can give you..”
It was the same thing I said a few days ago, but the weight was completely different..
An attitude that leaves no gaps whatsoever.
However, Gongsun Su did not bother to look for an opening and instead closed the distance..
whirring!
Shortening the distance in an instant, Gongsun Su's sword was drawn honestly from top to bottom..
Dok Go-Jun parried the blow simply by raising his sword..
Chaeng!
‘hard.’
That was the first thought that came to mind as I collided with Dok Go-jun’s sword..
Hard. like a wall.
It looked like it couldn't be shaken by any attack..
“2 seconds left.”
Dok Go-Jun raised his sword with a calm face..
There was no let down in those eyes. There is only pride in the sword that I achieved myself..
“Phew…….”
After catching his breath, Gongsun Shui took a few steps back and then lunged again..
‘When it comes to strength, I should have the upper hand.’
The first attack is to explore the opponent's tendencies..
The real thing started from the second time.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The sword filled with energy trembled..
Gongsunsu did the best he could and split the space like a beam of light..
‘Since I was so confident, I wouldn't avoid it..’
As Gongsunsu expected, Dokgojun did not avoid. He raised his sword and struck Gongsun Su's sword aside..
Ka-ang!
Sword and sword clashed and the two men spun in opposite directions. It was to resolve the history contained in the attack..
Whirling!
The wind blew the uniform, and the dust on the floor was blown up by a gust of wind..
Meanwhile, Dok Go-jun said.
“one second left.”
“Where can I get this too?!”
Gongsunsu accelerated the rotation of his body and slashed Dokgojun in succession. It was an attack of conversion..
Kagaga River!
Sword and sword clashed one after another, sparks flying. The bodies of the two people spun like tops in a whirlwind for a while..
and,
“Three seconds. It's over.”
With a soft voice, Dok Go-jun kicked the floor and flew into the air..
Tadat!
Gongsun Su looked up at the sky and was able to see.
Not a single drop of sweat is falling on Dok Go-Jun's forehead..
“Please be careful.”
After giving a kind warning, Dok Go-jun honestly lowered his sword..
Gongsun Su hurriedly raised his sword with both hands to block the attack..
“Ugh!”
be heavy.
A heavy attack that makes you wonder if you were swinging a hammer rather than a sword..
Gongsun Su pushed back with all his might as the sword struck from above..
I only blocked the blow, but my legs were shaking..
“……That's surprising..”
Dok Go-jun looked a little surprised..
I thought I could put my opponent down with a single blow, but Gongsun Su withstood it..
Gongsunsu laughed with a pale face..
“I trained myself to death. It's almost too much for a hobby..”
“…….”
The second attack began without warning.
Dok Go-jun stepped on foot techniques to narrow the distance and stabbed heavily with his sword..
Looking at that, Gongsunsu thought..
‘He is as honest a young man as he appears..’
A simple stab without any herbal medicine or herbal medicine..
But the force contained in that stab was beyond imagination..
Kya-ang!!
Gongsunsu, who had been pushed backwards several times while dragging his feet on the floor, barely managed to hang on to the edge of the off-stage..
Even if we had backed off just a few more inches, it would have ended in overtime..
“……also?”
Dok Go-jun's thick eyebrows twitched..
I didn't pay much attention to the second attack..
I thought I could push it out of the market.…….
Even though his palms were torn and bleeding, Gongsunsu stood still..
“her… … . That's amazing.”
Gongsunsu shook off the blood flowing from his torn palm on the floor and then tightly gripped his sword again..
My palms were sore, but this was no problem..
He smiled and looked at Dok Go-jun as if he was really happy..
“Now it's starting to get a little fun.”
“…….”
“This time I'll go first.”
But the flow of the fight that followed was similar..
Gongsunsu attacked, Dokgojun blocked him, and Gongsunsu, who was pushed away, barely held on..
He almost lost his grip and fell to his knees several times, but Gongsun Shui got up and attacked again..
“why…….”
A doubt appeared on Dok Go-jun’s face..
Gongsunsu’s appearance was already a mess..
It was natural, since I had been attacked so many times that if I made even the slightest mistake, my bones would break and my muscles would tear..
“Are you not giving up??”
Some of the audience recognized Dok Go-jun's swordsmanship..
“Dokgogugeom!”
The swordsmanship that created the Dokgo family.
When the warriors of martial arts talked about heavy swords, it was always a sword technique that was counted on one hand. It was a powerful martial art that could destroy the opponent along with the weapon when it reached the state..
But Gongsun Su was not afraid at all in front of him..
“Because I too am more desperate than anyone else..”
“…….”
Dok Go-jun was speechless..
I thought it was just entertainment.
How seriously would an old man who entered martial arts at such an age take martial arts seriously?.
But seeing Gongsunsu's desperate appearance, he had no choice but to admit that his thoughts were short-lived..
“What I said earlier was… … I'll cancel everything.”
“Umm?”
Dok Go-jun was often said to be stubborn and like a wall, but he was not a narrow-minded person who could not admit his mistakes..
“It's okay. You don't need to worry much…….”
“As an apology, I will show you that I did my best..”
“……Somehow it seems like nothing is good for me..”
Gongsunsu broke out in a cold sweat, but then smiled and raised the tip of his shaky sword and aimed it at Dokgojun..
I didn't have the strength to swing the sword anymore anyway..
Gongsun Su said with a bright smile.,
“Come. I will also treat you with sincerity..”
Dok Go-jun nodded and swung his sword..
Wow!!
For an instant, Gongsunsu felt as if a huge sword had filled his entire face..
‘That's amazing.’
I swung my sword in admiration. The sight of the sword with all its might being devoured by Dok Go-jun's sword, and the sword that had become slightly incontinent eventually being split in two, seemed unrealistically slow..
Damn it! Kyaang!
The broken sword fell to the floor..
Gongsunsu looked at his half-cut sword with a bitter expression..
“Heh heh. I… … I lost.”
There was tremendous applause and cheering from the audience, but it did not reach Gongsunsu's ears..
Instead, he clearly saw the young man he admired as a child taking power over him..
“It was a good dance.”
“I also had a good fight. Today… … I'll never forget it for the rest of my life.”
Gongsunsu raised his head and looked up at the sky..
The world was hazy, as if it was about to rain..
That was the end of the sixty-five-year-old's brief deviance..
...
[Get ready.]
The sprayers started moving all at once..
