Absolute Regression Episode 353

Episode 353: Your first sigh.

Hwang Seok-kyung was surrounded by warriors..

“Thank you so much.”

“If it weren't for the instructor, I wouldn't have been able to survive..”

“See you next time.”

Today was the day when the riders finished their training at the Sa-maeng Center and left for various organizations of the Sa-maeng-gwan..

Among the many instructors at Samanggwan, Hwang Seok-gyeong was by far the most popular..

“Do not forget that you are the pillars of the Apostolic Alliance. Please endure well even if difficulties come your way.!”

“yes Instructor!”

As the soldiers left, his colleague, Instructor Cha, came to him..

“As expected, you have the most gifts this time..”

Hwang Seok-kyung's arms were full of gifts given by departing warriors. I couldn't pick it all up so it was all lying next to me..

The relationship didn't end here. Many warriors who left here came to Hwang Seok-gyeong whenever they had difficulties, and he gave generous advice each time..

“If I had met an instructor like you, I might not have lived here as an instructor..”

“How is the instructor??”

“Aren't you tired of it? Same words, same thing every time.”

Then Hwang Seok-kyung asked Instructor Cha..

“Do you know how many warriors passed through us??”

“It'll be amazing.”

“Yeah, so many people know us. Aren’t we probably the people with the highest recognition within the Apostolic League? Where can there be such great power??”

“What is great power? After all, he is a private instructor. Won't we know if we become a single note or a footnote? Who knows.”

“Why do you think you can't climb? Is there a law that says we can only meet instructors??”

“Yes, you will succeed. Be it a single note or a footnote.”

“Become a successor.”

“what? Even if it's a joke, don't make jokes like that. Then let's go. Have a nice vacation.”

The instructors were on vacation until the next rider arrived..

As soon as Instructor Cha left, a message came from his subordinate as if he had been waiting. Now was the moment for Hwang Seok-kyung to become a fighting king..

―they failed.

Tuwang’s expression hardened upon hearing his subordinate’s report..

―What about Somaengju? How hurt are you??

―not hurt at all.

―So how many of the Thirteen Apostles died??

I thought it was the result of throwing one's body to save the small lord..

―no one died.

Tuwang's voice gradually rose in response to the incomprehensible report..

―What kind of expert came forward??

―no. It is said that there were only the Thirteen Apostles there..

―nonsense!

The Four Apostles prevented their joint attack? You may be lucky. However, even heavenly fortune cannot stop an assassination that involves three bloody rainstorms..

Tuwang recalled the incident where the assassins were killed before they were unable to kill Pyo Gi-gwang..

―Clearly someone intervened.

Otherwise, there would be no way this result would have happened..

―What should I do??

As I was thinking for a moment, an urgent message came from my subordinate..

―Little Lord has arrived.

Tuwang's gaze was directed at the man organizing training tools across the training hall. It was he, Sahon, the subordinate with whom we had exchanged messages just a moment ago..

He worked odd jobs at a private office and lived as if he had mastered third-rate martial arts, but no one recognized his true colors..

Bisain appeared next to Sahon, who bowed his head..

As he walked confidently, the Apostles and Thirteen walked together. Bisain's prayers were as intense as their fearsome impressions..

The Thirteen Apostles who followed were all wearing masks, so it was impossible to look at their expressions..

As they passed by, Sahon slowly raised his head and looked behind them. Thirteen in total, no one was hurt..

Even if I thought about it, I couldn't understand it. How on earth did they block that attack??

At that moment, one of the Thirteen Apostles who was walking behind looked back..

Sahon quickly lowered his head and avoided his gaze..

When he raised his head again, the Apostle Thirteen, who had been looking back, was walking forward again looking forward..

‘what? Did you feel my gaze??’

That can't be possible. Because there was no way the Apostle Thirteen felt that secret gaze just a moment ago..

Sahon quickly left the place, pulling a cart. The small lord came, and it was suspicious to anyone to see a handyman wandering around..

Tuwang put down the gift he was holding and politely greeted him with a non-sign..

“Little Lord, what are you doing here??”

He looked like an instructor who was surprised by So Maeng-ju's sudden visit. I really felt like I had nothing to do with this incident..

Coming here, Bisain wondered how Hwang Seok-gyeong would react. I thought he would just grab it, but I didn't expect it to greet me so naturally..

“Instructor Hwang, it’s been a while. When did we meet?”

“I gave you a brief greeting at this year's New Year's banquet..”

“Oh, I did..”

Until then, I never dreamed that I would be reunited with him like this. Are you really behind this? You were the one who gave them orders earlier.?

“Eat it inside..”

“It's okay. I was passing by and came just to see Instructor Hwang's face for a moment..”

Tuwang's gaze turned towards the Apostles and the Thirty-Four Sisters who had come with them. Geommugeuk did not reveal his prayers while standing behind the other Apostles..

So Tuwang did not notice that a master like Geommugeuk had joined the Apostles..

‘No one was really hurt.?’

Although he felt an unknown sense of crisis, Tuwang was unperturbed. Because nothing excited him more than the thrill of danger..

‘Lord Xiao came here thinking I was behind it..’

Because the fact that I came here after a lifetime of not coming meant that..

Is it a response strike? Or is it a declaration of war??

‘Was this your personality originally??’

The non-sign he identified did not have this type or personality..

“What are all these??”

Bisain asked, looking at the gift on the floor..

“These are the things the riders gave away on their way out..”

Bisain heard one of them..

“Can you solve it??”

“Of course.”

Bisain unwrapped it and gave it to King Tu..

“It seems dangerous..”

“What do you mean??”

“Are there any good training instructors out there? I won't try to poison you out of spite.?”

Tuwang smiled kindly at Bisign’s joke..

“Probably not. After training, no one remembers it as much as the instructor..”

Looking at his current appearance, Instructor Hwang was truly a good person who was far from conspiring..

“Are you satisfied with your job as an instructor??”

“I think it's my calling.”

Geommugeuk, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly had this thought..

‘Why was he an instructor??’

There must have been several ways to infiltrate the Apostolic League and secure a position. With Tuwang’s skills, he would have been a footnote by now. It could be said that it was just to avoid being noticed, but there was no one who did not know about Instructor Hwang..

While the sword dance was lost in thought, the conversation between Bisain and Tuwang continued..

“I was ambushed today.”

“yes? A sneak attack? Are you feeling okay??”

Tuwang was surprised..

“Fortunately it's okay.”

“Some people dare!”

“Their identity was unknown, but they were people who used gold lava machines..”

“Oh my! They are shameless people who do not even know the honor of being a warrior! They are trash.!”

Bisain was able to confirm that the man in front of him was no ordinary person as he calmly called himself trash..

“Since you dared to kill Lord Xiao Meng, be sure to catch him and punish him by beheading. Lord Somaeng is the pillar and future of Sado Martial Arts..”

In fact, Bisain expected a different meeting..

There's something suspicious about him, he leaves some strange words, and reveals some strange prayers..

How dare you try to kill me? It could be a situation where one gets angry. I was worried about what to say at that time..

I thought there was something special going on. Even if it wasn't there, I thought I would find it..

However, the other party did not reveal any identity. He was completely Instructor Hwang himself. As if to say, you are mistaken..

How should I deal with someone like this??

Bisain felt it. That it is still not enough. You said that, right? is the only word that comes to mind, but if it were a sword dance, I would have said something that would turn the situation to my advantage..

I felt like I shouldn't have rushed into it so emotionally. Because he wasn't a sword dancer..

If the charge was wrong, you should at least retreat properly..

Bisain bid farewell to King Tu with a smile..

“The day I was baptized by rote baptism, our instructor received a lot of gifts. I feel like I need to live harder..”

* * *

Geommugeuk and Bisain stood side by side on the cliff..

Despite Ilang's dissuasion to be careful as the time was right, Geommugeuk and I came here alone..

Does place have power??

When I watch sword dance and stand here, I feel like I am becoming more honest. Bisain felt that now was the time to be honest more than ever..

“I will never forgive the guy who tried to take my food away from me. I will kill you and every single one of those involved. Otherwise, I would be a minor member of the Apostolic Alliance.?”

I meant it. And I wanted to ask Geomugeuk.

“I am more selfish and evil than you thought. Are you still going to be friends? Don't tell me later that you didn't know he was such an evil guy..”

Geommugeuk knew exactly where Bisain’s distraught spouting out many words came from..

“Do you regret going to Instructor Hwang??”

After a moment, Bisain asked:.

“If you were me, you would have gone to see him.?”

This is what Bisain wanted to ask..

“Even if I go when I go, at least I won't go as far as today..”

“Can I ask why??”

“Because I regret most of the decisions I made when I was angry..”

“I thought so..”

I was so angry at the fact that he tried to kill me that I went to see him, but I regretted it after I went..

Because nothing happened, I lost momentum..

“Then why didn't you stop me??”

“You have to experience it yourself to truly feel it..”

How cold reality is. An ideal that boils like lava may become just a dream in the face of reality and may float away in icy water..

As Visan sighed lightly, Geommugeuk smiled and said.

“It's your first sigh.”

This is not just the first sigh shown to Geommugeuk. It was my first sigh in front of people. Bisain sighed loudly once more as if he was proud. He sighed that he was this close..

Geommugeuk smiled and comforted him..

“It's okay. After all, we already know each other. We should at least say hello before we fight. And I learned something during this visit..”

“what is that?”

I thought it was no big deal if you put it casually..

“I know what his purpose is..”

What is Nolan Bisain? You crazy guy! I almost spit out the words. How on earth were you able to find out his purpose during today's meeting? Did you secretly steal and read the diary??

“We met someone else?”

Because I didn't notice it at all.

Geommugeuk pointed out something I had never thought about..

“That question occurred to me as I looked at the piled up gifts. Why is he building up such a reputation? If you want to hide and make things happen, it would be better to not be seen. Does someone who is planning such a big conspiracy need to waste his mental energy to be nice to the warriors of the Samanggwan??”

After listening to it, I found Bisign strange as well. I felt uneasy inside, fearing that some surprising conclusion would come out of the mouth of Geommugeuk..

“The warriors he has produced over the years are now beginning to take up important positions in the Apostle League. There will be a leader, and there will also be a leader. The person who got promoted quickly must have become sober..”

Bisain asked cautiously..

“So what is his purpose??”

Geommugeuk looked straight at Bisain and answered..

“you.”

Bisain said nothing for a moment. At first I didn't know what that meant. Then a thought struck my head.

“Are you saying that he is aiming for the position of successor??”

Geommugeuk nodded and said.

“He is trying to become the leader of the Apostles..”

“!”

I had no idea that the person behind this incident, Hwang Seok-gyeong, was trying to become the leader of the Apostles. The distance between the instructor and the leader was too far..

“The reason I tried to kill you mercilessly was probably because it had to be done someday anyway..”

If the opponent hadn't been dancing with a sword, he would have gotten angry. What kind of nonsense is this?.

“Is that possible??”

Bisain’s voice trembled..

“This would have been the original plan. I don't know how many years from now, but I will kill you, my successor, and assassinate the Apostle Lord. I don't know how. In any case, if the position of leader becomes vacant, he will challenge for the position by showing overwhelming inaction. By then there will be almost no expert to stop him..”

“You can't become a leader just by being strong in martial arts. The demons won't admit it..”

“What kind of sword do you mean? You mean the person in power that he is holding hands with right now? Or the warriors he produced.?”

“!”

“The public opinion and atmosphere within the group will support him. It will not be just an instructor, but an instructor who is respected by everyone and will become a hero by revealing his hidden skills..”

Bisain’s heart sank..

“You won't be able to kill the lord..”

“Don't you know that it's not easy to block a hidden knife? If it is a knife that has been sharpened for a very long time. Of course, that's my prediction. It might be a wrong prediction..”

Bisain did not think that Geommugeuk’s guess was absurd. He was already trying to kill himself, the small leader, without a moment of hesitation..

Bisain was alone in his thoughts for a while. Geommugeuk did not give any advice. Because this was his decision and his job to solve..

Eventually, Bisain came to a conclusion..

“I won't ask my lord for help..”

He decided to handle this matter on his own..

“If by any chance I die, please be sure to tell the leader the inside story of this incident..”

“I guess so..”

Bisain said to Geommugeuk.

“When this happens, you won't die, I don't need to tell you this.?”

Geommugeuk didn’t tell me what I wanted..

“This decision could kill you..”

I meant what I said. Because the opponent was a fighting champion. No matter what process you go through, it was a predetermined future that you would have to fight Tuwang at the last moment..

“Why aren’t you stopping me??”

You will become stronger if you overcome it yourself..

“Because it's not my life?”

Bisain laughed. I laughed the loudest since we met..

“It's good to laugh now. Always smile like that when you meet a girl..”

“You will make such ridiculous jokes and see how hard my life is until the end.?”

“Because watching a fight is always fun.”

“His efforts to steal my food bowl were imaginary, but at least he didn't seem to have as much luck as me..”

Bisain looked at the sword dance..

Contrary to the saying that he was just watching, the sword dance was a fight with him from start to finish. They wait for you, tolerate you, and push you to become the protagonist and solve the problem in the hopes that you will grow..

I got this kind of luck, I have a friend like this, I can't lose to him..

“Let's go. I don't know what will happen later, but so far there are people who will jump at the idea of ​​an instructor becoming a leader..”
