Chapter 186

Episode 186 It's not easy?

There was a heavy silence..

No one here died, but some did. It was clear that all the bravado, bravado, and pride that the black powers had up until now had just died..

Of course, the way he looked at me changed completely. Awe, fear and anger. Each person has different emotions depending on their personality..

It was Gwonma who broke the silence..

“Did you think the sword was scary now??”

“yes!”

The black powers responded loudly..

“When I first taught you martial arts, I told you not to be afraid of the sword. But now you have to know that the sword is scary..”

Sometimes you shouldn't be scared, and sometimes you should be scared. The teaching that Gwonma wanted to give to his followers today was that they must have both of these feelings..

“That's all for today.”

After saying that, Gwon Ma left first. Although I did not show my vote in front of my subordinates, I could feel that he too was agitated by the dignity I showed him..

The remaining Black Powers could not disperse as usual and looked at me. Looks of awe were seen everywhere. By nature, demons value the strong and have an exceptionally strong desire to become strong..

Sohee Cheon asked on behalf of them..

“If you are so strong, why do you want to learn martial arts? Is it like the play of the strong??”

It was a very provocative question..

She had been shocked by that move a moment ago. At the same time, I was angry at myself for being helpless. Since she doesn't want to lose to anyone, she will probably be able to become the next champion..

I calmly asked her back.

“How can learning martial arts be fun??”

“But why do you want to learn??”

Why? Because I have a desire to collapse that cliff with my fist..

“When my sword flew at you a moment ago, my hands were empty. What if you get attacked then? What should I do if I'm an expert who won't give me a chance to retrieve my sword? I want to learn for that time. Because this fist that catches the opponent off guard will save my life.”

Cheon So-hee stared at me. I wonder if she meant it or not, but it was impossible for her to read my mind when she was still young..

After saying that, I also left the training center..

Just as the fate of everyone involved with me is changing, their fate will also change in some way. I just hope it changes for the better..

* * *

That night, I was practicing martial arts..

I slowly practiced everything I had learned from the white fist to the black fist. You can only learn the basic fighting skills of a fighting horse properly when this basic fighting technique is well-established..

papa papang!

I really liked the sound of a fist being pounded into the air. I had a desire to learn the martial arts techniques and quickly achieve greatness..

“Even though it's late at night, you work hard.”

The person who came to see me was Gwonma. Every time I hear it, I am surprised by the calm voice that contrasts with that scary face. What is more similar to his nature: the face or the voice??

Actually, I had a feeling that the horse would come to visit. Because I thought he would definitely react to the skills I showed him earlier..

“Since I started late, I have to work twice as hard..”

“Even if it were not twice as much, but ten times as much, I wouldn't accept you as a disciple..”

“May I ask why??”

The knight did not answer, but the heat in his eyes did the answer. You want to fight with me. Because you can't fight with your disciple..

“You want to fight me..”

Just as he lit a fire in my heart, I also lit a fire in his heart..

“I won't fight.”

The moment I fight him, I won't be able to learn martial arts. There is only one way to learn fighting skills from a fighting horse. Whether it's a battle for successor or a political issue, it's all useless. We must be connected through martial arts. He wants to fight with me, so I have to make him teach me in the end. that's my plan.

“The reason I won't fight?”

Like him, I didn't answer anything either. Gwonma, who was staring at me, realized the meaning behind my rejection..

“You're worried you'll beat me.”

Passion flashed across the horse’s face. Worrying about beating yourself after being named undefeated is something you have never experienced. Because everyone just saw them struggling to not get killed..

“Lee Gongja, you don’t have to worry about that. The martial arts you learned are the martial arts you learned from the sect leader, so it wouldn't be a shame if I lost..”

I also looked behind his words..

“Do you want to fight? Or do you want to win?”

For a moment, the horse looked startled..

“Is there a difference between the two??”

Rather than saying it out of arrogance, it was closer to this..

“You're so used to winning that you don't even notice the difference..”

He came quickly and put his face in front of me again. Having to see this scary face so close is truly more powerful than a flying fist..

“What do you want to say??”

I remembered what Extreme Soma had said. The saying goes that you can tell what kind of person Gwonma is when he loses..

“If you are a Demon of Fist of Blood or a Demon of extreme evil, it will not be easy for you to accept defeat if you are a Demon of undefeated power..”

“Will I break my promise because of the shock of defeat? how do you see me!”

The expression of the Invincible Demon was distorted grimly. It was so scary that it seemed as if the ground next to him would open and demons would burst out of hell..

“Please teach me martial arts first. Then, I will compete with Mr. Kwon..”

Gwonma snorted with an expression that said it was nonsense..

“You'll have to fight me first..”

With those words, Gwonma turned and walked away..

Sorry, but that's not your hand. As long as you were crazy about martial arts, as long as you built a myth of invincibility, that hand was mine..

'Cause I can wait, but you can't.

* * *

Cheon So-hee was watching the sword dance performance in silence..

Despite the chaos that occurred yesterday, Geommugeuk participated in the training of the Black Fist as usual. I was immersed in training as if yesterday had never happened..

But the black powers were different. They appeared with Geumchang medicine applied to their sides and showed a different fever than the previous day..

“I was born again yesterday.”

There was even a black power that openly said this..

Whether or not he was aware of these changes and fluctuations, Geommugeuk was concentrating on training alone..

His movements were more precise than anyone else there, and he understood herbivory better. Since he was the son of a religious leader, any doubts that someone must have secretly taught him how to eat herbivores were all dispelled by the skills he showed in yesterday's sword dance..

“I have something I want to ask you, is it okay??”

Just as the warriors in the red realm did, people began to appear in the black realm asking Geommugeuk about herbivory..

“Of course.”

Geommugeuk sincerely explained what he asked..

In just one day, the atmosphere of the black powers changed so much..

After training that day, Cheon So-hee went to Geommugeuk..

“Since I lost the bet, I will keep my promise. tell me what you want me to do.”

Then Geommugeuk said something unexpected..

“Please make me your disciple..”

Cheon So-hee looked at the sword dance with a puzzled expression for a moment..

“Then please make me the former leader’s successor..”

I thought it was a joke and said it.

But soon she could tell through the expression on Geommugeuk’s face. That he meant it.

“I'm not kidding..”

“Of course it's not a joke.”

“I couldn't be a disciple myself, so how can I make you a disciple??”

At this time, Gwonma had not yet selected formal disciples. Gwon Ma, who was a perfectionist in martial arts, did not make a hasty decision on selecting a disciple..

“You, who lost the bet, should worry about that..”

“I didn't know you would ask for such a ridiculous request..”

“Then why didn't you tell me then? There should be limits to requests.”

“That's right... … I thought a person with common sense would naturally ask for something that made sense..”

“Really? I didn't tell you because I thought you might win.?”

She couldn't refute it. What Geomukgeuk said was true. When I made a bet to do a favor, I tried to say that I couldn't make a request that went beyond common sense. But her instincts stopped her.

Of course it was a bet that I would win, but I didn't think it was necessary to say that..

“Okay, I admit it..”

Geommugeuk smiled. If she hadn't been so honest, I would have teased her more..

“What do you admit? If someone asks you a ridiculous request like this, you should sharply refuse and forget about it..”

She looked at the sword dance in confusion for a moment..

I thought he was a truly unpredictable person..

She turned around. I walked a few steps like that and then stopped. Anyway, I lost the bet, but my pride was hurt to leave like this. she turned again.

“Okay, let's say I have the ability to do that. Even so, if you become a disciple, the chances of me becoming a disciple go down, so there's no way I can help you.?”

“That's wrong. If I become a disciple, your chances of becoming a disciple will increase..”

“why is that so?”

“It was difficult to accept the first disciple, but now, as if the water has been opened, we will accept the third disciple. And I would highly recommend you to my sister-in-law..”

“me? Why??”

Geommugeuk stared at her and said calmly:.

“I think you're better than anyone else. I think he's the best person to be the next champion..”

I thought it was a joke again, but Geommugeuk’s expression was serious..

Passion arose in her chest. It was a phrase I had never heard since entering Dongwon Gate..

Myself and my classmates. Seniors and juniors all looked upward and ran. I ran with the mindset that if I was eliminated from the white group to the black group, I would die..

Even though we all worked hard together, she never truly said good things to anyone. I had never heard of such a thing..

Rather, I secretly hoped for it in my heart. May your opponent have a harder time than you. May your opponent be eliminated from the competition. So I hope you become a horseman.

That Geomukgeuk, whom I met only a few days ago, doesn't hesitate to say this. In all those years, they have never exchanged such words..

It wasn't that I was bitter because I couldn't hear it. I felt confused because I felt like I had confirmed my narrow-mindedness, which I had never been able to do for anyone before..

“Without even knowing much!”

She got angry and turned around and left..

* * *

That night, Cheon So-hee could not fall asleep easily..

The words of sword dance kept coming to mind. Are you really the right person for a horse??

She couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning, but she couldn't bear it anymore and headed to Geommugeuk's place..

I didn't even think I would be able to meet him because it was late at night. I just went there out of frustration, but surprisingly, the sword dance was being practiced in martial arts..

I couldn't even say hello to the training that was so serious. I stood still for fear of being disturbed..

Eventually, Geommugeuk, who had completed herbivorous training, sat down on a flat rock in the yard and asked:.

“Would you like some tea??”

“No, it's okay..”

Sohee Cheon sat next to him. I didn't hate the smell of sweat from the sword dance..

“It was late at night, but I really wanted to check this out. If I become your disciple, will you really recommend me as a disciple??”

“It will happen.”

How much should we trust? There are stories that we always talk about when we get together and drink together. No one should be trusted. That's the first principle of surviving for a long time in the martial arts world..

“My goal is to learn martial arts from Master Kwon. It will be my sister-in-law who takes over the position of Gwonma..”

When this powerful moment of temptation came, I couldn't make good decisions..

“This is my brother-in-law who sentenced Cheonma to death..”

Yes, this is probably why everyone suffers. Even though I know it's obviously a coaxing, I'm probably being deceived because my heart is pounding like this..

What if you're trying to take advantage of me by tricking me like this? What if you get used to your heart's content and then get killed? The sword of Geommugeuk appeared in her mind. You'll say this as a sword passes through your face. innocent bitch.

Just then, Geommugeuk spoke to her in a calm tone..

“Living isn't easy?”

Those words, delivered softly, entered my heart..

For a moment she wanted to scream. What on earth do you keep pretending to know about me? It's easy, I'm doing well with my life. What's difficult about it? Just run hard and run again. Just look up and run.

But the words that came out of her mouth now spoke from her heart rather than her head..

“……It's not easy.”

I answered that way without realizing it. I have never shown weakness to others. I've never told anyone that I'm having a hard time in my life. I've endured it well so far..

The moment she acknowledged that, tears flowed from Cheon Sohee's eyes. She was even more embarrassed by the tears that suddenly flowed. Tears suddenly flowed without any time to hold them back..

Is it possible for tears to flow so suddenly? Obviously she isn't sad at all, so why are she crying? She was so embarrassed because she had never shed tears before..

“Oh no, this is.”

Just as I was hurriedly wiping away my tears with my sleeve, someone came inside and spoke..

“also! Investigator Seo was right when he said that he was the world’s biggest playboy. Following a fateful love, he is now making a woman cry..”

Geommugeuk smiled brightly at the person who entered, and Cheon Sohee was surprised. This was my first time seeing such a beautiful woman..
