Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 106

Destiny (1)

“… … .”

“… … .”

An odd silence fell over the empty lot for a moment.

While everyone was looking at Ilmok with a bewildered expression.

Feeling somewhat awkward, Ichimoku coughed in vain and opened his mouth.

“Ahem. Why is your hair so short?”

It was one of the two biggest reasons why people mistook me for a man.

In this era, many men had long hair. It was even rare for women to cut their hair short.

At Ichimoku’s question, Jeong-hyeon, who had been looking dumbfounded, reacted with surprise.

I could never have guessed that Ilmok had mistaken her for a man.

“It was because it was getting in the way of shooting the bow….”

While answering Ichimoku’s question with his mouth, Jeong-Hyeon was thinking of something else.

‘So that’s why you said that.’

It was because the events of that day came to mind.

– I’m satisfied with just staying here with Jeong Gwan-do.

The words that Ilmok had said to himself. Now he knows what they mean.

‘…I guess she just meant that it was more comfortable for me to be with her. Because she knew I was a man.’

As I recalled the times when I had been alone, my heart pounding, and had been swept away by the waves, I found myself lowering my head without realizing it.

At the sight of Jeong-hyeon suddenly lowering his head, Ilmok felt a cold sweat run down his back.

‘this….’

It wasn’t because I thought I might have hurt her by mistaking her for a man.

‘You must never look at it. Wake up, Ichimoku.’

The second reason I mistook her for a man kept coming to mind, because I felt like my gaze was being directed somewhere.

Even if it was between men, if you knew that the other person was a woman and kept staring at that area, it was sexual harassment.

As both Jeong-hyeon, who lowered his head, and Il-mok, who turned his head to the side to avoid eye contact, kept their mouths shut, silence fell upon the empty lot once again.

And the one who broke that silence was Joo Seo-yeon.

“Ah! So that’s why you mistook me for a man!”

“???”

Ilmok and Jeonghyeon looked at her with puzzled expressions at her sudden remark.

“I also found out while taking a bath together that Jeong Gwan-do was wrapped in bandages for fear of interfering with his shooting.”

“!!!”

‘What did you wrap?’

While Ilmok was thinking about the subject that was omitted in Joo Seo-yeon’s explanation.

“It was truly a curious sight. That something so wonderful could be hidden by bandaging it. Hahaha.”

Joo Seo-yeon gave a thumbs up to Jeong-hyeon, saying that he was truly great.

“Eek… .”

At Joo Seo-yeon’s sudden revelation, Jeong-hyeon’s face instantly turned bright red and his whole body flinched.

‘It’s not Amazon… .’

Il-mok, who was thinking about such trivial things, belatedly remembered an important fact when he saw the embarrassed Jeong-hyeon and the pleased expression on Joo-seo-yeon’s face.

“Jeong Gwan Do.”

At the sudden call of Ilmok, Jeong-hyeon, who was on the verge of losing his mind out of embarrassment, raised his head slightly and looked at Ilmok.

“…?”

For some reason, Ichimoku was looking at him with a serious expression that was unlike anything he had ever seen in the world.

“Listen carefully.”

As Jeong-Hyeon nodded with a half-absent expression, Ilmok warned him.

“Never use the bath with the main body.”

At the sudden order, not only Jeong-hyeon, but also Baek-cheon and Ju-seo-yeon, who were nearby, had blank expressions.

‘… It wasn’t safe to share a bathroom with people of the same sex.’

What Ilmok belatedly remembered was Joo Seo-yeon’s taste.

When Ilmok sends Jeong-hyeon first to direct traffic, and sends Ju-seo-yeon later.

In the main hall of the Magic Hall, the main lord, Yeom Ga-hwi, and the instructor, Chu Il-hwan, were having a private meeting.

Today, it was not Yeom Ga-hui who called Chu Il-hwan, but Chu Il-hwan who came to see Yeom Ga-hui.

To report on what happened just yesterday.

“Hmm. It is said that a person named Jeong-Hyeon gained enlightenment thanks to the Ilmok Guan Do….”

After receiving Chu Il-hwan’s report, Yeom Ga-hwi stroked his beard with his characteristically calloused fist and muttered.

‘The lord will be very pleased.’

What Yeom Ga-hui remembered as he stroked his beard was something that had happened a few days ago.

After returning alive from that place, which is now called Mangaryeong, or Dohwaryeong, its original name.

After receiving a summons from Cheonma, Yeom Ga-hui went to the headquarters and met with Cheonma alone.

‘It has been a long time since I have seen my lord so happy.’

The sight of Cheonma telling the story of what Ilmok Gwando did in Dohwaryeong was like that of a grandfather on a street corner bragging about his grandson being a genius.

Although Cheonma was generous to his followers, Yeom Ga-hwi could not have imagined that he would become so unscrupulous.

But when I think back on all the things I have seen and heard, I think that if anyone had a disciple like that, they would be in trouble.

Yeom Ga-hui’s memory of Cheon-ma always bragging about his disciples naturally led to the story behind it.

The reason why Cheonma summoned him was not simply to boast about his disciple.

The main point was rather the aftermath.

However, like any grandfather would do, I was bragging about my grandchildren and it went on for too long.

‘There are subversive groups within the new religion.’

Heavenly Demon suspected that this disappearance of Ilmok Guando was a trap prepared by someone.

Of course, in order to prepare such a trap, there had to be a subordinate of that evil group among the assistants and instructors of the Magic Academy.

In fact, when he heard the story of Cheonma, Yeom Ga-hui’s inner feelings were subtle.

As the head of the Magic Academy, I was not indignant that the instructors and assistants were being suspected.

However, that was because the target of those evil groups was not Cheonma.

Because in the Cheonma Singyo, the only absolute being was ‘Cheonma.’

The disciples of Cheonma were objects of respect, not of admiration.

‘After the Heavenly Demon ascended to heaven. This will be a prelude to the battle for the cult leader.’

Although Cheonma called them a ‘subversive group’, Yan Gahui thought that their only goal was to become the next great leader.

In terms of the battle for the cult leader, there was nothing special or need to be considered suspicious.

In the first place, the battle for the cult leader was a bloody festival where tens and hundreds of masters fell to their deaths.

And when Yeom Ga-hui was a rookie who had just graduated from the Magic Academy, he had the experience of witnessing that bloody festival firsthand.

Until then, the Magic Hall was a hellish place where half of the people died and only half came out alive.

However, the appearance of the new religion where the battle for the leader had begun was so great that even the magic hall seemed like child’s play.

And the one who won that bloody festival was none other than the current Cheonma.

Even after that, there were frequent instances of those who challenged the cult leader.

The one who finally achieved the Heavenly Horse God Skill by defeating those challengers and finally reached the lofty status of Heavenly Horse was none other than the current Heavenly Horse, Hyukryun Ilhwi.

For Yeom Ga-hwi, who remembered how the old man in front of him had risen to the lofty position of Cheonma, he could not help but feel that he was being overprotective.

As if he had read Yeom Ga-hwi’s mind, Cheon-ma added.

“I know what Yeom Gwan-ju thinks. However, Ilmok is still young. If a mature warrior dreams of becoming a Heavenly Horse and loses his life, that too may be the will of Heaven, but that young man is not yet old enough to get involved in the struggle for the sect leader. At the very least, shouldn’t he be given the opportunity to decide for himself after he becomes an adult?”

Yeom Ga-hui bowed in greeting at those words.

“I will follow your solemn command.”

As the head of the Magic Academy that taught young practitioners, it was an understandable reason, but from the beginning, Yeom Ga-hwi had planned to follow Cheon-ma’s will.

Whether I understand it or not, how could I not follow the stern orders of the Heavenly Demon?

Yeom Ga-hui, recalling the events of that day, looked at Chu Il-hwan standing in front of him.

‘There is a servant in the Magic Hall who is after the Ichimoku Kwando.’

Thinking about the servant, Yeom Ga-hui asked Chu Il-hwan.

“What are the side effects of Black Thunder Horse these days?”

“… I haven’t completely escaped yet, but I have achieved some accomplishments. It’s all thanks to you, my lord.”

Chu Il-hwan immediately took the lottery ticket and expressed his gratitude.

Without his usual playful expression, with a serious attitude.

* * *

Chu Il-hwan and Yeom Ga-hui. The two had known each other before they became entangled in the Magic Hall.

When Chu Il-hwan graduated from the Magic Academy and joined the Jeokryongdan (赤龍團), the leader of the Jeokryongdan was none other than Yeom Ga-hwi, who was at the height of his fame as a martial artist.

The leader of the martial arts group he belonged to. He was a famous master who was called Kwonma, so Chu Il-hwan had respected Yeom Ga-hwi since then.

However, Yeom Ga-hui was displeased with Chu Il-hwan.

A few years before Chu Il-hwan entered the Magic Academy. It was because Cheonma had completely reorganized the Magic Academy. If possible, in a way that would prevent the followers from dying.

From the perspective of Yan Gahui, who had experienced the Magic Academy where half died and only half came out alive, those who graduated from the Magic Academy after the reorganization could not help but be considered half-baked.

However, despite Yeom Ga-hui’s disapproving gaze, Chu Il-hwan doggedly followed Yeom Ga-hui, and after fighting together in the Red Dragon Corps for several years, Yeom Ga-hui came to acknowledge Chu Il-hwan.

Just because you’ve completed the reorganized Magic Academy doesn’t mean you’re half-baked.

And then, after several more years, the order of the Heavenly Demon was given to Yeom Ga-Hwi, who had successfully mastered the Shura Bloodline to the point of being able to escape from it.

He was appointed as the head of the Magic Academy, and was given the authority to select a few trustworthy people as instructors if necessary.

According to Cheonma’s orders, before leaving for the Magic Academy, Yeom Ga-hwi offered Chu Il-hwan a position as an instructor.

But Chu Il-hwan refused. It was because of the side effects of the Black Thunder Horse.

“Your Majesty, if I were to take on the role of instructor at the Magic Academy, there would be an unfortunate incident where the instructors would be killed.”

Chu Il-hwan refused to do so as not to cause trouble to Yeom Ga-hwi, but Yeom Ga-hwi did not accept Chu Il-hwan’s refusal.

“Think the opposite. If you work in the armed forces with the side effect of suffering from the urge to kill, you will end up losing to that urge every time. On the other hand, teaching the officials requires suppressing the urge to kill, so isn’t that the path to escape?”

“!!!”

Chu Il-hwan, who had a surprised expression on his face, belatedly regained his composure and answered.

“However, I may not be able to control my impulses and cause an accident. For the sake of my accomplishments, I cannot cause trouble to you, my lord.”

“You seem to have grown arrogant. Do you think you can get through my surveillance and cause trouble? Don’t worry, I will take responsibility and stop it.”

Chu Il-hwan, who was touched by Yeom Ga-hui’s consideration, ended up following Yeom Ga-hui to the Magic Hall.

And he spent several years helping Yan Jiahui teach the officials at the Magic Academy.

There were several instances where he ran wild or fell into a state of obsession and almost killed officials, but thanks to Yan Jiahui’s supervision, he was able to avoid any major accidents.

‘It is all thanks to you that I have been able to grow to this point.’

And as Yan Jiahui had said, by suppressing his urge to kill while dealing with the officials, he was able to achieve some results.

Although it was still a long way to go until he was freed from the demon, Chu Il-hwan had already jumped over the wall and begun to escape from the demon.

* * *

“I will never disappoint you, Your Majesty.”

As if making a promise to himself, Chu Il-hwan, who was holding the lottery ticket, spoke sincerely to Yeom Ga-hwi.

Yeom Ga-hui, who had been observing the scene for a moment, opened his mouth.

“What I’m going to say from now on, I want to keep it only for you.”

Yeom Ga-hwi, who had opened his mouth like that, informed Chu Il-hwan of what Cheon-ma had instructed.

If the assistant and instructor were monitored by only Yeom Ga-hwi, there would inevitably be a loophole. In addition, since Chu Il-hwan had been with them for over twenty years since the Red Dragon Corps days, he was determined to be trustworthy.

“I will supervise the instructors and teachers as usual.”

“If you do that, I will have the area around Ichimoku Gwando monitored, Your Majesty.”

“Please do so.”

Yeom Ga-hui gave him a look of trust.

After paying respects to Yeom Ga-hwi again, he leaves Gwanjujeon.

At some point, a cold, murderous smile appeared on Chu Il-hwan’s face.

‘How dare you bring dishonor upon the Lord.’

In a situation where Yan Jiahui was the governor, attempting to assassinate the youngest prince was no different from challenging Yan Jiahui.

Chu Il-hwan, who followed Yeom Ga-hwi like a father, was determined to find those people and slaughter them.
