“I will help you.”
Mile-seok, who returned to the thatched house, said.
Mok Seon-oh blinked and looked at him with an embarrassed expression..
It was something that Mok Seon-oh could not understand..
This is because he, who had been complaining that he had no intention of helping until just before, suddenly changed like this..
Thoughts that lasted for a while.
However, in the end, all Mok Seon-oh did was smile..
“Thank you.”
Anyway, since my younger brother had a change of heart and came to me, I was wondering if anything else was important..
*
Finally, the three people gathered in one place.
With Mo Seon-oh with a smiling face and Mile-seok with a sullen face in front of him, Mo Ri-won narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people..
Meanwhile, Mile Seok said.
“From today onwards, this girl king will help you with your training..”
Although it was a formal statement, Mok Ri-won smiled brightly at that..
“Is that true?!”
Mile Seok’s body trembled..
It was because I suddenly felt embarrassed when I rushed into something that I wanted to do my best to do..
But even for a moment.
Mile Seok hardened his expression again and spoke to Mok Riwon..
“Yes, that's because your temperament has so many strange aspects..”
“It's a strange corner.?”
“Do you know what kind of star you were born with??”
Mo Liwon nodded..
“It's a thousand stars!”
“Then do you know why that star is called the Star of the Assassin??”
Mok Ri-won, who was about to answer, suddenly stopped and closed his mouth..
‘Come to think of it….’
I didn't know much about this..
This is because Mok Seon-oh, who immediately taught us about the concept of a thousand-year-old star, only said vague things like, ‘Those who are born with this star will live with the fate of aeons.’.
In the silence that emerged as Mok Riwon closed his mouth, Mile Seok sighed and muttered.
“I knew it would be like this….”
Mile-seok's gaze turned to Mok Seon-oh with a dissatisfied look..
Mok Seon-oh cleared his throat loudly and answered with an apologetic look..
“I was thinking of letting you know when I was a little older..”
“My brother was probably like that..”
“Okay….”
Mile-seok shifted his gaze to Mok-ri-won again and continued speaking in a stern voice..
“listen.”
“yes!”
“There is no other reason why Cheonsalseong is called the star of the devil..”
chin.
Miles took a step forward.
Mo Riwon swallowed dry saliva and looked up at the mile stone..
The firm gaze even had a hint of coldness somewhere in it..
The sense of intimidation that Mok Ri-won felt during this time was of a gigantic form that Mok Ri-won had never felt before..
“This is because people who are born with a natural ability to kill others have eccentricities..”
After saying those words, Miles took out a dagger from his arms..
Then I placed the blade part on my palm..
“It's a quirk?”
“okay.”
Mok Riwon didn't know what he was going to do, but it occurred to him that it wouldn't be very pleasant..
The prediction was correct.
Mile Seok glared at Mok Riwon with deeply sunken eyes and drew a dagger with his answer..
Tduduk.
“The point is that you get excited when you see blood..”
Red blood began to fill Mokriwon's field of vision..
At that moment, Mokriwon felt.
thud.
My heart is beating heavily and my body is heating up, an exhilarating sensation I have never felt before..

When Mokriwon opened his eyes, the rising moon of Hwiyeongcheong illuminated the night sky..
Mok Ri-won, who had been staring blankly at the ceiling of his room, woke up in surprise as he remembered what had happened before he fell asleep..
‘Master!’
That's the scene I remember.
The moment a red, fishy liquid filled my vision, I felt my heart pounding loudly and at the same time, I felt a strange thirst..
My insides were so hot that it was difficult to even breathe, and my gaze did not leave Mile Seok's palm where the blood was gushing out..
So I rushed to Mile Seok..
Mok Seon Oh blocked it..
Only then did Mo Ri-won remember everything that had happened and left the room in a huff..
“Are you awake??”
Mok Seon-oh said while looking at the night sky in the yard right in front of him..
Hearing the words spoken in a calm tone, as if asking what had happened, Mok Ri-won felt his body shrink involuntarily..
“Master…?”
“How is your body?.”
How are you feeling? Of course you are fine..
I had no choice but to be fine..
It was Mok Seon-oh's forearm that stopped him from gnashing his teeth at the moment he was charging at Mile-seok..
Mok Ri-won's gaze was directed to Mok Seon-o's left forearm..
Mok Seon-oh also felt those gazes and answered with a smile..
“This teacher is okay..”
It was a soft voice.
For some reason, Mokriwon felt tears welling up in his eyes at that voice..
“why are you crying.”
Mok Seon-oh came up to Mok Ri-won and stroked his head..
Mo Liwon trembled, feeling like his throat was congested..
“Master….”
“Yes, this teacher is here..”
Talk.
Talk.
Mok Seon-oh, who was stroking her head, suddenly hugged Mok Ri-won and patted her back..
Mokriwon gasped and continued saying,.
“Am I becoming Mine?…?”
It was because of fear.
What happened during the day was so shocking that he was scared because he felt like he would do something scary the next time he saw blood..
“Can't I be a charlatan??”
mileseok said.
It is said that Cheonsalseong has a quirk that makes him excited when he sees blood..
That's why it's called the star that brings death..
That is indeed correct..
Even in the midst of this fear, Mo Liwon felt his heart pounding when he thought of blood..
It was truly exhilarating and scary, and the thought that I might live like this for the rest of my life filled me and made me anxious..
Mok Seon-oh felt sick to his stomach when he saw Mok Ri-won crying..
How can you not know.
Isn't it enough to know how terrifying this eccentricity would be to a child whose temperament is so weak that he can't even look at a rabbit caught in a trap?.
In fact, Mile-seok's methods were not very pleasing to Mok Seon-oh..
The purpose of raising awareness by shocking people is good, but the thought that I scared the child first was something I could not erase..
Mok Seon Oh hugged Mo Ri Won tightly..
And he answered in a quiet voice..
“Wrong. you can be a charlatan.”
“but….”
“Kindergarten.”
After Mok Seon-oh let go of Mok Ri-won, who was hugging him, he looked at him with his hands on both shoulders and continued speaking..
“Do you know what the difference is between a demon and a knight??”
Mokriwon did not reply..
Mok Seon-oh smiled gently at Mok Ri-won and continued speaking..
“The point is not to use the power you have carelessly. Also, even when you feel bad, you can endure it..”
It was difficult to explain to children.
As we are not yet bright in the world, we need to use words that resonate with our hearts rather than difficult words or ideologies, and we also need to intuitively understand abstract concepts..
Mok Seon-oh continued to think while looking at Mok Ri-won, and then asked a question..
“Kindergarten.”
“yes….”
“If a person with pure inner strength uses that power correctly, would he be a charlatan??”
Mo Riwon held back his tears and thought about it..
Then he nodded..
“yes….”
I was able to answer clearly.
That's because Mok Seon-oh, right in front of him, was that kind of person to Mok Ri-won..
Mok Seon-oh smiled and asked the next question..
“So, if a person with such pure martial arts exploits others with that power, then would you call him a charlatan??”
Mo Liwon shook his head..
The charlatan he knew was someone who benefited others, not someone who exploited them..
Mok Seon-oh then asked:.
“So what if a person with evil history helps others with that power?.”
Mok Riwon’s body trembled..
Mok Seon-oh smiled a little mischievously and continued speaking..
“Would you call him a charlatan, or would you call him a demon because he has evil history??”
Mo Riwon’s lips twitched..
Before I knew it, my eyes were facing Mok Seon Oh..
“Kindergarten.”
“yes….”
“The sword has no eyes. The sword cannot distinguish the opponent, nor can it tell between good and evil. For a sword, there is only the swordsman who wields it..”
Mok Seon-oh's hand swept Mok Ri-won's face..
The droplets of tears fell one by one under his hand..
“What if it was a slightly evil sword, or what if it was an ugly looking sword? If you, who wield it, know the basics, wouldn’t that be enough? Then, wasn't that sword the sword of a thief?.”
Mo Liwon just listened to what was said and looked into his eyes..
His eyes were all white and the only black part of him..
Black was mainly compared to evil things..
Mok Riwon also knew that..
However, the reason why Mo Ri-won knows the difference between black and evil is because what is in his dark eyes is brilliant starlight..
“No matter how evil a quirk you have, wouldn't it be okay if you suppressed it and channeled that killing intent into something unholy?.”
Mok Seon Oh didn't stop talking..
“There is someone called Mahyeop (？？).”
“Maghyeop…?”
“Yes, demonic association. It is the name of a man who, despite possessing evil magical powers, used that power to punish the evildoers. He's a man who was featured in a book called 'The Story of a Strong and a Hero', which you can find if you go to a bookstore in that city..”
There was curiosity in Mok Riwon’s eyes..
Mok Seon-oh smiled sheepishly and continued..
“There's no way you can't be like that guy..”
Actually, it was a lie..
The man named Ma Hyeop was a non-existent person, and the book I just mentioned, ‘The Story of a Gangho Hyeopgaekgaek’, was just a miscellaneous book written for interest..
No, even that was a book criticized for defending Mine..
However, Mokseono didn’t mind..
‘Even so, what if.’
Even miscellaneous books that are considered poor can provide hope to a desperate person like this child..
“Won, aren’t you such a good child that you can pour out the murderous intent in you in the right place?.”
After finishing speaking, Mok Seon-oh waited for Mok Ri-won’s answer..
Mok Li-won twitched his fingertips and looked at Mok Seon-o..
I looked at the stars in his eyes, the stars decorating the night sky, and the white moon embracing them..
It's a breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and it's also a very heartbreaking scenery..
Mo Liwon quietly looked at the scene and nodded slowly..
“yes….”
“Yes, you are a child who is good and knows righteousness. You can definitely become a charlatan.”
Mok Seon-oh's laughter tickled Mok Ri-won's ears..
At that moment, Mokriwon realized.
‘The chest….’
No longer running fast.
“I'll tell my girlfriend to get me a copy of 'Gangho Hyeopgaekjeon'. You too will like the story of the Demon Co-op.”
you also.
Mokriwon asked that word..
“Master, you like the Demon Cooperative.?”
Mok Riwon didn’t know about the Demon Cooperative..
Also, I didn't know about the Gangho Hyeopgaekjeon he was talking about, or about martial arts..
Therefore, one thing was important to Mokriwon..
Can his teacher and parent really love him who belongs to the devil?.
Shall I say that the agreement achieved with Ma (?) is right?.
Mok Seon-oh blinked at Mok Ri-won's nervous appearance, but then responded with a loud laugh..
“Anyway, he's also a charlatan, so there's no way you wouldn't like him, right?.”
The child's world was small.
It was small, consisting of only one thatched house in a mountain valley and a stream in front of it..
That's why the child felt overwhelmed by the old man's words..
They rejoiced together in the positivity of their parents who supported their world..
On this day, the child finally had a clear dream..
That was the task of chasing after a man named Ma Hyeop whom I never knew..
