Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 547



Only Noblemtl

547. The Master of the Stakes (2)

Jang Yu-jung’s eyes lit up as he watched the scribes.

His expression as he looked at the scribes holding brushes was serious.

It wasn’t the same expression he had seen before.

His face even looked solemn, as if he were giving a lecture at Yulim Seowon.

Jang Yu-jung’s attitude towards the secretaries of Habukpengga was serious to that extent.

Of course, it was not yet possible to determine whether academic achievements had been made.

What Jang Yu-jung acknowledged was the attitude of the secretaries toward the exam.

Among them, it was the expression on the faces of the Habuk Pengga secretaries.

Who would have thought that just holding a paintbrush, no matter where you are, could make you so happy!

The other examinees were all nervous after checking the tense.

Some were trembling.

Some people’s faces were as hard as stone.

But they were holding their brushes more happily than ever.

Jang Yu-jung had something to say to his disciples.

No one can beat someone who tries hard.

But the one who tries cannot beat the one who enjoys it.

It was the law that no one could beat someone who enjoyed what they did.

It was clear that they were enjoying this season.

The appearance of the scribes now resembled the expressions of great monks who had attained enlightenment.

Isn’t it said that there was a great monk in the East who drank water from a skull and came to the truth that everything is a matter of the mind?

Seeing her bright expression even in such a smelly place, it was clear that she had come to the realization that everything is a matter of mindset.

I thought all of this was the result of Hanbin’s creation.

“Rather than seeing the results now, is it that you created the vessel… … ?”

Jang Yu-jung looked somewhere quietly.

It was in the direction of Cheonsujang.

Of course, this was Jang Yu-jung’s mistake.

It was true that the secretaries were concentrating.

But what they were enjoying was the very act of sitting comfortably.

In addition, they could easily recall the sentence the moment they saw the tense.

During my training, sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics and policy theories that I had memorized in my head came to mind on their own.

The scribes smiled.

It was only then that they felt the change in themselves.

They looked again at the distant tense.

At the same time, I wrote sentences on the answer sheet.

Sssssss.

Now the other examinees also began to move their brushes.

It was when everyone was playing with their brushes with fierce expressions.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew into the testing room.

Whistle, whistle!

The students were startled when the wind swept through the examination room, making a noise like a horse babbling.

Some people hurriedly reached out to catch the flying test papers, while others were so surprised that they dropped their brushes.

However, the secretaries of Habukpengga who were taking the test in the corner showed no change in their behavior.

Their brushes quietly moved across the paper.

Jang Yu-jung’s eyes lit up at the sight of the scribes silently working with their brushes as if nothing had happened.

Although he did not attend the grading, Jang Yu-jung was always the one who graded the attitude of the students taking the test.

That level of composure was worthy of being awarded a prize among the top, middle, and bottom scores.

At that moment, Jang Yu-jung narrowed his eyes.

Because a certain student was holding a brush and running around trying to catch his test paper flying in the wind.

Jang Yu-jung clicked his tongue as he looked at the scholar.

The students around him quickly covered their answer sheets.

It was to prevent the scholar from peeping.

Moreover, there was a concern that the ink would splatter if I was swinging my brush around.

While everyone was frowning, the student who had been running around here and there finally sat down while holding the answer sheet.

Although it happened far away, Jang Yu-jung was able to check the front part of the student’s answer sheet.

The answer sheet started from the letter “자”.

Of course, anyone else would not have seen that sentence.

But who is Jang Yu-jung?

He was a man whose eyesight was as developed as that of a strong man.

It was exactly as the saying goes, “If you don’t listen, you’ll get rejected.”

While other scholars say that at this age, their eyesight becomes dull, Jang Yu-jung’s eyesight actually becomes brighter.

The theme of Jang Yu-jung’s poem was a theory of relationships between the king, his subjects, and his children.

At first glance, the first sentence was not enough to get the correct answer.

Jang Yu-joong sighed and turned his gaze away.

The student who had everyone’s attention barely managed to grab the answer sheet.

The student put his answer sheet on the floor.

As the situation settled down, people turned their attention away.

The student put down his answer sheet and put down his brush.

Anyone can see that he has given up.

Even the officers watching nearby thought he had given up and jeered at him.

But the answer sheet in front of the student was already densely filled with sentences.

Of course, that scholar was Hanbin.

Hanbin looked at the answer sheet with satisfied eyes.

The moment the answer sheet fluttered into the air, Hanbin stroked his brush to write a sentence.

No one could have imagined that sentences would be written on paper blown by the wind.

It was like embroidering on fluttering flower petals.

Hanbin used only lightning to write the sentence on the answer sheet in the blink of an eye.

Everything was meant to test the utility of leisurely living.

Hanbin achieved satisfactory results.

Despite all the fuss he made, no one recognized him.

There were two top-notch experts in this office.

These were the people the magistrate had commissioned to guard this place.

Even they didn’t notice that Hanbin had used martial arts.

Hanbin also noticed that the students of Yulim Seowon were beyond the wall while making a fuss.

It was possible to hide one’s identity even from them.

This proves that he can hide not only among the powerful, but also among ordinary people.

Hanbin, who had completed his proof, had no need to stay here any longer.

Hanbin, who placed a small stone visible on the side on the answer sheet, opened the eighteen steps of begging.

Sasa Sak.

Hanbin disappeared, leaving behind only the sound of fallen leaves.

The movement was so secretive that no one noticed that Hanbin had disappeared.

There was no warmth left in the place where Hanbin had been, as if no one had ever been there in the first place.

After a while, the incense burner ends.

The examinees who had submitted their answer sheets were slowly walking out.

What’s interesting is that the expressions on the faces of the students who appear first are not so good.

That would be the case, since students who were even a little confident in their own writing tended to review their answers several times.

That was when.

The secretaries of Habukpengga stood up as if they had made a promise.

The students of Yulim Seowon breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them from outside the wall.

“I was nervous, but it ended safely.”

“Yeah, it ended safely.”

“You didn’t even show your temper after being treated like that. It seems like your training was effective.”

The students looked at the secretaries coming out with pitiful eyes.

That’s understandable, because the reply was sent too quickly.

In addition, they submitted their answers at the same time.

In other words, it was likely just a pretense of taking a test.

Then someone among them raised his voice.

“Did you wish something would happen?”

The students’ eyes widened at that voice.

Because it was a voice that sounded very familiar.

The first one to turn his head was Yang Seok-bong.

Yang Seok-bong, who confirmed his opponent, opened his mouth wide.

The opponent was none other than Hanbin.

Hanbin was smiling brightly in front of them.

Yang Seok-bong shouted instinctively.

“Oh, what are you doing here?”

“Haha, if someone saw me, they’d think I’m not supposed to be here.”

“That, that’s not it… … .”

“Looking at your expression, you look like someone who got caught plotting something.”

“Haha, you sound like you’re about to get struck by lightning. We came here to cheer on the secretaries of Pengga.”

“Haha, I’m just joking. There’s a place that serves good food up ahead, so you can eat there and then.”

“Then I’ll take it without any shame.”

“I’ll buy lunch, so you can buy it later, Mr. Yang.”

“Good.”

Yang Seok-bong smiled brightly and nodded.

They met the secretaries of the Habuk Peng family coming out.

After a while.

At the government office, officials were organizing the answer sheets submitted by the examinees.

I checked that the feed was well dried and stacked them in the order they were served.

Perhaps because there were quite a lot of examinees this time, the answer sheets they had collected quickly piled up like a mountain.

The judges who were watching it narrowed their eyes and looked at the magistrate.

As the magistrate nods, the judges respond with smiles.

They had in mind the names of about half of the candidates they had to select.

After selecting half of them, you can select from the remaining people in order of skill.

Jang Yu-jung was not among their group, but was looking at the piled up answer sheets from a distance.

Jang Yu-jung, who had been watching for a while, tilted his head.

Because I saw paper fluttering in the wide government office yard.

He quickly called his officer and had him bring the answer sheet.

But I didn’t check it.

I just watched as the officer placed the answer sheet on top of the pile of answer sheets.

After taking a breather, the examiners quietly began checking the answer sheets.

Jang Yoo-jung tilted his head at their grading method.

Usually, if an answer sheet is clearly below the standard, it is marked as “inaccessible” and the answer sheet is disqualified.

And only after continuously filtering out the answer sheets, do we determine which answer sheets are superior to the others.

From then on, you have to score things in detail.

But they were grading the answers without even checking them.

If I had checked, I would have only checked the name.

what?

It was when Jang Yu-jung was squinting his eyes.

The examiners began to look at the answer sheets with eagle eyes, their beards brushing back.

From then on, grading began normally.

The answer sheets that should have been dropped were marked as unanswerable and stored separately.

At that sight, Jang Yu-jung noticed the current situation.

It was clear that they had selected applicants who should be admitted first.

But a promise was a promise.

Jang Yu-jung was no longer involved in this year’s poetry contest.

Instead, he took a bottle out of his bosom.

It was Baek Ah-ju that Hanbin gave me.

First of all, he thought it was a good idea to come here to watch over Hanbin.

At this point, I started to feel a little disappointed that Hanbin didn’t use tricks.

Jang Yu-jung got up from his seat.

The magistrate came running in a hurry at the sight.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. It was nice to see you. I guess I’ll be going now.”

He meant it.

In fact, even if he wasn’t involved in the answer sheet, he had already looked at all the answer sheets.

By the time the officials were organizing the answer sheets, Jang Yu-jung had already finished grading them.

I have all the names in my head, from the top student to the last successful candidate.

We could compare the results later when they came out.

“It’ll be a shame if you just leave… … .”

The magistrate trailed off and put his hand in his bosom.

That was when.

The judges began to murmur.

“What the heck is this… … .”

“No, where did you get this answer sheet… … .”

The conversation between the judges, who had been unable to finish speaking, was cut off.

Jang Yu-jung tilted his head at that sight.

* * *

At the same time, the tower below the water tower.

The secretaries of Habukpengga opened their eyes wide at the sight of the food presented before them.

The food that came out just now was truly a feast.

It seemed like all the dishes you could taste in the Central Plains were gathered in one place.
