Chapter 91
##91fury. protect the elderly!
After the sparring ended, Gong Son-soo and Dok Go-jun, who came down from the off-stage, exchanged light words of well-being..
“Please forgive me for being rude and ignorant..”
“Heh heh. It's okay.”
“…….”
There was even a hint of respect in Dok Go-jun's eyes as he looked at Gongsun Soo..
At first I thought it was just a hobby for a rich old man..
But when I saw it in person, I was able to feel how hard Gongsun Su worked..
The calluses on those hands were not something that could be made lightly..
Dok Go-Jun said with an awkward smile that he didn't usually make..
“……If you pass, I am your senior, so you will have to speak louder next time..”
Dok Go-Jun was joking elsewhere..
The student council president's jokes were famous for being sarcastic, but fortunately, they seemed to work for Gongsunsu..
He burst out laughing..
“ha ha ha! I understand. When you go to my Blue Dragon Academy, I will call you senior all the time..”
Gongsunsu's expression looked a little bitter as he said that, but Dokgojun guessed that it was because he was tired..
“Go to the doctor and show your wounds. It's not a major injury, but it's better to treat it quickly..”
“you?”
“it's okay. The following couplets remain..”
Compared to Gongsunsu, whose palms were torn and his clothes ruined, Dokgojun was in very good condition..
I didn't get a single cut on my collar during the massage, and my breathing didn't get any rougher at all..
Gongsunsu laughed as if he was embarrassed..
“I was worried for no reason.”
“The congressman can go over there. I have to prepare for the next sparring... … . See you next time then.”
“for a moment.”
Gongsunsu called Dokgojun, who was about to turn away after greeting him..
“……This may be the nonsense of an old man, but may I give you just one piece of advice??”
“Of course.”
Dok Go-jun turned around again and straightened his posture as if he was going to listen..
Gongsunsu smiled, thinking, “You really received a good home education.”.
“I don't know much about my martial arts skills, but I know that you have great talent..”
“…….”
“He has outstanding talent and an excellent upbringing, but he is not someone who neglects his efforts. So, he must have reached this level at such a young age..”
“That's too much praise..”
I don't know why he suddenly said this, but Dok Go-jun lowered his head in response to the undeserved praise..
Dok Go-jun has been called the greatest genius within Dok Go-sae for 100 years..
I grew up with high expectations from a young age, and received an education focused on my family's capabilities..
Moreover, he was so sincere that he achieved Dokgogugeom much faster than his family's older brothers..
“……You've probably been called a genius by many people..”
Although the fields are different, Gongsunsu has seen countless young people called geniuses. He was also a genius who passed the state entrance exam at a young age..
That's why it was advice.
“Don't despair.”
“……yes?”
“As you go through life, talents that are brighter than yours will appear. Don't despair in front of him. There's no need to get smaller. life is long.”
Dok Go-jun couldn't quite understand why Gongsun Soo said such a thing..
“……I've already seen many people with greater talent than me..”
Gongsunsu smiled brightly at the answer with a somewhat hesitant expression..
“I said something for no reason. I said this out of anger, so don't worry too much about it..”
“no. I will take this as a message to devote myself more to training and engrave it deeply..”
“Heh heh. It took up too much of a busy person's time. I'm going to go see Representative Iman..”
The two broke up like that..
And soon, Dok Go-jun learned the true meaning of Gongsun Su's words..

“Wijicheon applicant! Come up!”
Coincidentally, Wi Ji-cheon's sparring opponent was also Dok Go-jun..
Wi Ji-cheon, with a very nervous expression, bowed his head and said..
“Well, thank you..”
“Let your skills unfold to your heart’s content..”
“yes!”
Wi Ji-cheon answered brightly, pulled out his sword and aimed it at Dok Go-jun..
The moment he faced that sword, Dok Go-Jun felt like all his efforts up until now had been betrayed..
“…….”
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I already knew you were strong.
However, there were some parts that could not be known unless you faced the sword in person..
When I saw it in person, it was… … Isn’t it too much to do?.
‘How at that age…….’
I can't see any gaps..
No, it would be more accurate to say that you cannot find it at your level..
Dok Go-jun has met many people his age who are called geniuses..
Among them, most of the most outstanding ones were from Cheonmuhakgwan..
Wijicheon... … reminded me of them.
“Me, senior? Can I start??”
“……ah.”
Dok Go-jun finally came to his senses after hearing Wi Ji-cheon’s words..
Wow.
I gritted my teeth without realizing it. As I tasted blood in my mouth, my mind gradually became clearer..
“……Don't look at me.”
“yes?”
“It means to attack with all your might..”
“……Is this really okay??”
“…….”
Dok Go-Jun held his sword tightly..
Could I lose in this sparring??
‘perhaps.’
But Dok Go-Jun couldn't lose..
He was the student council president of the Blue Dragon School Student Council and the school's best reviewer..
I couldn't give that modifier to anyone..
Even if you are a genius with talent far greater than yours..
Sigh.
Dok Go-jun, who took a nose-to-tail approach, said.
“Come. no, i go first.”
Dok Go-jun kicked the ground and instantly closed the distance..
For the first time, I did not spare any effort. There was no need to worry about the other person dying. I concentrated my mind and swung with the intention of cutting in one go..
Whoa whoa!
The powerful sword was swung with the intention of cutting Wijicheon to pieces. Wei Ji-cheon also could not ignore the sword and swung at it..
Wow-!!!
The moment the two swords collided, a wave of energy erupted around them and all the noise around them disappeared..
* * *
“oh my god…….”
Ak Yeon-ho stared at the two boys' fight with his mouth wide open..
It wasn't just Ak Yeon-ho..
Everyone in the audience was looking at the two boys in wonder..
“and…….”
“what…….”
Even the applicants and students who were fighting on other non-stages stopped fighting and focused their attention on the two people..
Even the judges couldn't say anything about it..
Because their eyes were also on Dok Go-jun and Wi Ji-cheon..
Step by step!
Swords clashed continuously, sparks flying. The off-stage floor was already full of sharp sword marks..
“Phew…….”
“ha…….”
The two boys stepped back for a moment to catch their breath and rushed towards each other while shouting in unison..
“tahat!”
“lower pressure!”
The two boys were showing off their skills..
But the experts could see that their swordsmanship was completely different..
Dok Go-Jun's sword is solid and straight..
Because he mastered the form of swordsmanship perfectly through constant effort, he was able to use herbalism at any time he wanted..
‘Dokgogugeom is basically a sword technique that overwhelms the opponent..’
On the other hand, Wijicheon's sword is free and flexible..
Rather than fighting with a set herbivore, go with the flow. The response changes depending on the opponent and moves continuously..
‘Wijicheon’s sword… … Harmonizes with others and constantly changes.’
Yeon-ho thought that Wei Ji-cheon's sword was beautiful..
However, if someone asked whether Wi Ji-cheon's sword was better than Dok Go-jun's sword, I couldn't give an easy answer..
It's just that the kendo pursued is different..
It was impossible to determine which of the two was better..
“Dokgojun is also quite good..”
“……That's barely enough?”
Ak Yeon-ho turned his head to the voice he heard from next to him..
Baek Su-ryong, probably the only person in the Blue Dragon Academy who was not impressed by the confrontation, was looking around with a displeased expression..
“Brother, I am not impressed at all even after seeing the battle between geniuses like that.?”
“Geniuses? Dokgojun is just a practice bug.”
It was a cold assessment..
Even Baek Soo-ryong was surprised by Dok Go-jun's skills, but it wasn't because of his natural talent..
“……If there were geniuses in hard work, that guy would be a genius too..”
Right now you are valued more than your natural talent, but soon you will hit a wall..
‘It would have been nice if I had been born with a little more talent..’
Not everyone is born with great talent..
The talent that can be called a genius is only a handful among the martial arts people, who are as numerous as grains of sand in the desert, and making that talent bloom was another matter..
“A true genius is what they say about a guy like that..”
I knew Wi Ji-cheon's talent better than anyone else..
A boy loved by a sword.
The usual shy expression disappeared, and the face that shared the sword with Dok Go-jun was full of joy..
‘I can't stop you.’
Wi Ji-cheon was truly happy to meet his rival after a long time..
On the other hand, Dok Go-jun's expression remained stiff throughout..
Although Dok Go-Jun had a slight advantage in the confrontation itself, he looked nervous and anxious..
“……Who do you think will win??”
“Dok Go-jun might win today.”
But even then, Dok Go-jun will not be confident whether he will win..
‘Rather… … Why aren't the sprinklers moving??’
Baek Soo-ryong was watching the fight between Wi Ji-cheon and still paying attention to the moves of the assassins..
‘I thought the old man would move during the test or right after the fight was over..’
There hasn't been much movement from the assassins yet..
Gongsun Shui was watching Wei Zichian's fight with admiration, without knowing anything..
Beside him, a dark spirit was hiding and guarding, practicing stealth techniques..
‘There will be movement soon.’
Baek Soo-ryong was sure of that..
“Yeonho. don't relax.”
“yes? Ah, yes.”
Baek Soo-ryong also sent a message to other colleagues, warning them not to let down their guard..
Meanwhile, the battle between Wi Ji-cheon and Dok Go-jun was slowly approaching its end..
“Phew… … . after…….”
“Sigh… … . crane…….”
The two people facing each other took heavy breaths..
His neat military uniform was ruined, and shallow cuts were carved all over his body..
“Are you tired??”
“yet… … it's okay!”
Dok Go-jun let out a shallow sigh towards Wi Ji-cheon, who was looking at him with bright eyes..
“I think it would be better to see the outcome before it is too late. How about competing with the best season each person has??”
“……great!”
The two began to increase their strength at the same time..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
After a while, sword energy began to bloom from the two swords..
“It's black.!”
“oh my god. Both at that young age…….”
“It looks like Cheongryong Academy is going to have a real problem this year.!”
The audience who witnessed the sword was almost in chaos..
Even the gentle political faction leaders were so surprised that they kept clearing their throats..
However, there were also people who were restless for slightly different reasons..
“Don't you have to stop it? If there is an accident like that,…….”
At the adjutant's words, Lu Jun-sang and Nangong Je-hak shook their heads at the same time..
They both wanted to see a little more of the two boys' swords..
“Let's wait a little longer.”
“If it looks dangerous, I'll step in.”
“……yes.”
Is there anything I can do about it?.
Kwak Cheol-woo sighed and nodded..
Meanwhile, the two boys, who had sufficiently raised their sword energy, pointed their swords at each other..
Gulp.
The audience's tension reached its peak, and Baek Soo-ryong's tension also reached its peak..
‘If the killers are moving, it is now..’
This moment, when everyone's attention was lost to Wi Ji-cheon and Dok Go-jun, was the optimal moment for the assassins to make their move..
[Don't miss the shooter's movements.]
To his message, everyone responded that they understood..
Most of Baek Soo-ryong’s predictions were correct..
Only, his enemies were bolder than he imagined..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Blood spurted out in the middle of the audience with screams..
“It's murder!”
“Wow!”
It didn't happen in one or two places..
At the same time, blood spurted out from five or six places and screams followed..
The audience screamed at the tragedy that occurred in an instant..
“Wow!”
“Also, run away!”
“He is an assassin from Sapa.!”
Many people stood up at the same time. They pushed each other and fell, creating chaos in the area..
“What is this!”
“Everyone, please calm down.!”
Instructors tried to defuse the situation, but to no avail..
There were too many people gathered, and more than half of them were civilians, not martial people..
The situation quickly became uncontrollable..
“Now, wait a minute.!”
“everyone! Please calm down…….”
Temporary instructors who were on guard against the assassins also had no choice but to become distracted in the chaos..
Moreover, the range of movement has become narrow due to the influx of people..
“protect the elderly!”
When White Water Dragon shouted, dozens of arrows were already rushing towards Gongsun Water..
