Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 104

Misunderstanding (4)

Baekcheon, who had no idea that Ilmok thought of him as dog poop, had a face that looked somehow happy.

“What did you say, Master?”

I think it was because of the word teacher.

‘As expected, he is a seed of interest.’

He seemed very happy when I gave him attention and gave him a role.

“Yes. Although you did not learn the same archery, you learned the secret technique of fighting from a distance. Your skills are also excellent at Baek Gwan-do, so it will be of great help to you.”

“Hahaha! Confucius Ichimoku really sees people well! Just trust me!”

As Baekcheon accepted the role of master, Ilmok turned his head again and looked at Jeonghyeon.

“I think it would be okay to start now.”

Under the gazes of Ilmok and Baekcheon who were staring at him intently, Jeong-hyeon moved like a zombie.

His limbs creaked and he performed strange movements, with his right arm and right leg moving together.

But even though Jeong-Hyeon showed strange movements, Ilmok and Baek-Cheon just watched with unsmiling faces.

And as Jeong-hyeon awkwardly loaded an arrow onto his bow and began to shoot, Ilmok turned his body slightly and whispered to Baek-cheon.

“When you are teaching Jeong Gwan-do as a teacher, there is one thing you must pay attention to, so please be careful.”

“???”

“Be sure to start with praise and end with praise.”

In Ilmok’s opinion, one of the biggest reasons why people have a hard time standing in front of people is lack of confidence.

“Even if you see something you regret, don’t say ‘not so good’ or ‘not good.’ Start with praise first, and teach them something like, ‘If you fix this part, it will be better.’ Do you understand?”

“I know what you mean, but why does it have to be that way?”

“People become more powerful when they receive praise. Have you ever felt that, Baek Gwan-do?”

“ah!”

Baekcheon let out a faint exclamation as if he had gained enlightenment.

As a man who is thirsty for people’s praise and attention, it was because he had many experiences of feeling good after receiving praise.

Even as the two whispered to each other, Jeong-Hyeon’s awkward archery skills continued.

As she finished all the basics of the Ghost Shrine she had been learning and sighed deeply, suddenly applause broke out.

Clap clap clap!

“This was truly a great job!”

“Hahaha. I believed you, Jeong Gwan-do!”

As if that wasn’t enough, Ilmok and Baekcheon showered Jeong-hyeon with praise and enthusiastic support.

‘What, what did you do well!?’

Jeong-Hyeon felt like hiding in a mouse hole.

Since then, whenever Jeong-Hyeon unfolded his skills, he was showered with praise and applause from Ilmok and Baekcheon.

Even while picking up the arrows that Jeong-Hyeon shot and collecting them from the target or where they flew wrong.

Clap clap clap!

“Hahaha, the way you collect the arrows you shot is also amazing!”

Clap clap clap!

“That’s right. Look at the graceful movement of the arrows! Aren’t they very sharp?”

Behind me, the two men continued to praise and applaud.

Naturally, Jeong-Hyeon’s hands, which were picking up the arrows, began to tremble.

Jeong-Hyeon was confident.

This is a new type of bullying technique.

* * *

The next afternoon.

Instead of heading to the empty lot to help Jeong-Hyeon today, I first headed towards the training ground.

To recruit one more audience member to watch Jeong-Hyeon’s training together and help Jeong-Hyeon get used to the sight.

It might have been risky to bring one more person to Junghyun, who was still trembling even against two people, but there was a reason.

‘Automatic hunting is the best hunting after all.’

After taking one more person, I planned to teach Jung Hyun how to cheer and then step aside appropriately.

And the new audience I thought of was none other than Joo Seo-yeon.

“Your Majesty, at a glance!”

She, who was busy training alone in the training hall, welcomed me warmly.

But in reality, her cheerful greeting didn’t feel all that pleasant.

In fact, I had met and talked with Ju Seo-yeon not long after returning to the Magic Hall.

“When I heard the news that you had gone missing, I was truly shocked, Your Majesty!”

She greeted me very warmly.

“Did you worry a lot?”

“Yes. If His Majesty is going to pass away, shouldn’t we find another way to be with Jin Ha-yeon?”

“… … .”

Her next words left me speechless with overwhelming emotion.

I don’t know whether to say that I like this for being honest or to hate it for being tactless. I just don’t get it.

Anyway, after that day, we often came and went and exchanged greetings.

I just didn’t want to get close to him because he was such a crazy, overly honest person.

But now, thanks to Baekcheon, I have gained great enlightenment and have come to see her boldly.

“I think we should go somewhere together.”

Because I realized that even dog poop can be used as medicine.

As I turned my back and headed towards the empty lot where Jeong-hyeon and Baek-cheon were, Gaedong Unit 2 followed me.

I spoke to Joo Seo-yeon right after guiding her to the empty lot.

“Since we are in the same class, we should be familiar with each other’s names and faces. From now on, Ju Gwan-do will watch Jeong Gwan-do shoot arrows together.”

“???”

Joo Seo-yeon looked at me with a face that said she didn’t understand.

“Confucius? Didn’t you say that you would only accept me as a subject if I were to become second? I don’t have enough time to practice, Confucius?”

I expected her to say this.

It was sad that I had to predict the behavior of a crazy human being, but somehow it was possible.

“Don’t worry. We won’t just be watching, we’ll be alternating between watching and fighting.”

“!? Your Majesty?”

This time, Jeong-Hyeon looked at me with a surprised expression, but I don’t think I need to worry too much about it.

“Watch the Gwiryungsin Palace of Jeong Gwan-do and recall the destruction method, and then display the martial arts of Ju Gwan-do through the non-combat. Then, after the non-combat, watch the archery of Jeong Gwan-do again and think about how to deal with it better. Wouldn’t that be a great learning experience?”

For some reason, Joo Seo-yeon looked moved by my explanation.

“As expected! Your Majesty, you were planning to have me as your concubine! In order not to disappoint your expectations, I will definitely try to become second in command, Your Majesty!”

It was a serious misunderstanding, but I decided not to correct it.

Soon after, Baekcheon, Juseoyeon, and I sat cross-legged in our seats, and Jeonghyeon’s demonstration of the Ghost Shrine began.

Joo Seo-yeon’s eyes were shining brightly, perhaps because she believed that she was meeting my expectations.

Just like a hundred thousand.

‘… Are all crazy people’s eyes like that?’

I felt like I was going to learn how to tell which crazy guys were which just by looking at them.

But that wasn’t what mattered now.

‘I should prepare for automatic hunting.’

If only an automatic hunting system could be established, we wouldn’t have to deal with this crazy guy for a while.

“Listen carefully, Lord Guan Du. From now on, you must continue to praise Lord Guan Du.”

* * *

“Phew.”

Jeong-Hyeon sighed deeply and thought.

‘Why? Why did it become like this?’

As if to support her suspicions, just as she fires an arrow at the target, a loud applause and cheers erupt from behind her.

“Hahaha! Great work!”

“This time, you deliberately aimed outside the target! I almost got fooled.”

“I see! That’s what it was like! Jeong Gwan is amazing!”

Baekcheon, Ilmok, and Ju Seoyeon’s continuous shower of praise and applause made my face turn red and I felt like I was going to burst, and my body started trembling.

He wasn’t focused at all and the arrow flew in a strange direction, but now he was praising it, saying that it was intentional.

‘Oh, Lord, I feel like I’m going to die. No, Lord, I want to die.’

I felt like I was going to either die from a deep depression or shoot an arrow into the sky and kill myself by sticking it in the Baihui point.

But no matter how they died, the cause of death was the same. It was a shameful death.

Seeing her continuing to tremble, Ichimoku was troubled for a moment.

‘Hmm? Praise doesn’t work?’

While Ilmok was worried about whether to stop praising him.

At the crossroads of life and death, she thought.

Why on earth does Confucius Ichimoku bring in others to praise himself so much?

‘Really? Revenge for the thing I avoided back then?’

It was only then that Jeong-Hyeon realized why this had happened.

But even if I understood Ichimoku’s intentions, nothing would change.

If things continued like this, I felt like I would really die or commit suicide.

‘Please. If only I hadn’t heard those compliments…’

Her eyes were set aside, and her head was filled with thoughts that she wished she could just stop hearing those compliments.

It was strange. It was clear that until recently, I couldn’t come to my senses even if I met Ichimoku’s eyes, but now I felt like Ichimoku’s gaze was really nice.

I didn’t care what happened to my eyesight, but I just wanted to block my hearing for now.

But that was impossible.

The effect of the Ghost Spirit Shrine she learned is to maximize the senses.

This not only allowed the archer to respond quickly to enemy threats, but also enabled him to perform delicate and precise archery techniques to accurately target enemies from afar.

In other words, it meant that it was impossible to dull the senses.

‘…what if instead of slowing it down, we change its direction?’

In the midst of a life-threatening crisis, a thought suddenly occurred to me that I had never thought of before.

She was counting arrows with a red face and trembling, but then she suddenly closed her eyes and concentrated.

She focused on her inner self and guided her internal energy according to the secrets of the Ghost Shrine.

In a state of heightened sense, I could feel everything within a meter of distance even with my eyes closed.

‘This is my nest.’

Having confirmed her own realm where she could feel everything completely, she twisted the flow of her internal energy that had been flowing according to the secret of the Ghost Spirit Shrine.

Perhaps it was because I was going against the flow that had been repeated for years. I felt a pain as if my blood vessels were being twisted, and without me knowing it, the blood that had refluxed from my stomach gushed out, and I could smell the scent of blood in my throat.

At the crossroads of obsession with money and enlightenment, Jeong-Hyeon chose a bold path that was not typical of her.

It continues to disrupt the flow of internal energy.

Because if things continued this way, the only future left would be a shameful one.

Her internal energy continued to move as she intended, causing resistance.

Wheeeeeeing.

She was sure that she had made the right choice.

A change occurred in the area that covered the entire distance in the shape of a ball.

The shape of the ball is distorted, but it is fine, and it becomes narrower in some places and wider in others.

“Phew.”

Taking deep breaths, she refined her field like a sculptor creating a work of art.

‘So that no one can hear the sound coming from behind.’

She had extremely refined her territory, which was spread evenly across the world, into a shape similar to a needle.

He himself was the hole of the needle, and the end of the long, sharp area he pulled out was the extreme tip of the needle.

The left, right, up, down, and back areas all disappeared, creating an extremely long area that stretched only to the front.

While the war-like changes taking place inside her, completely different from usual, on the outside she just stood there motionless with her eyes closed, aiming her bow.

However, the person watching her noticed a change.

It wasn’t just because, contrary to his motionless appearance, cold sweat was continuously running down Jeong-Hyeon’s forehead.

As if responding to the changes taking place inside Jeong-hyeon, rough waves of energy were constantly swirling around Jeong-hyeon.

Junghyun, standing motionless amidst the violent waves, looked like he was in the eye of a typhoon.

And Ilmok remembered seeing a similar sight.

‘It’s similar to Jin Ha-yeon’s time!’

It was a scene that reminded me of the way Jin Ha-yeon looked when she gained enlightenment about the power of sorcery.

Ichimoku, who had thought that far, quickly made a motion to cover his mouth with his hand toward Baekcheon and Ju Seoyeon.

“You seem to have attained enlightenment, so you should remain as if you were dead.”

As Ilmok muttered in a whisper, Joo Seo-yeon and Baek Cheon nodded with serious expressions that did not match their expressions.

Ilmok, who had warned the two crazy people not to cause any trouble, looked at Jeong-hyeon with a satisfied face.

‘As expected. They say praise makes even a whale dance.’

It was a moment where he thought that the method he had come up with worked.
