Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 64

Jealousy (3)

The next afternoon.

Ilmok was enjoying dinner with Bang Mihwa and Hayoung.

Surprisingly, Ilmok finished his meal without any particular discomfort and opened his mouth.

“I will get up first to practice.”

Ha-young, who was sitting in front of Ilmok, and Mi-hwa Bang, who was sitting next to him, smiled faintly and answered.

“We also have evening training to do, so go in peace, Confucius.”

“I had a great time today too.”

But for some reason, while answering, Bang Mi-hwa looked straight ahead instead of at a glance.

The reason was simple. It was to maintain the angle that Ichimoku had mentioned yesterday.

Yesterday’s events made Bang Mi-hwa confident.

Ilmok is in love with himself.

And just in case, she returned to her quarters and checked with a mirror. She also felt that her right face was more beautiful than her left.

So, Bang Mi-hwa stayed on the left side of Ilmok all day today, even during training.

Whenever Ilmok turned his head, it was a consideration to always make sure that he could see the right side of his face.

She was a woman who not only loved herself, but was also able to show this level of consideration to a man she liked.

‘Hehehe. What a woman I am.’

She was so infatuated with herself that she was giving such consideration to Ichimoku.

Whether her consideration worked or not, the youngest prince did not avoid her today and occasionally even approached her first.

In some ways, it was a contradictory thing.

Until yesterday, he thought that the youngest prince was shy and avoiding him.

But today, even though I only showed my pretty right side, why did you talk to me so nonchalantly?

However, Bang Mi-hwa didn’t care about that contradiction at all.

‘I guess you’ve realized that if you keep being shy, you’ll end up losing a beauty like me. Hahaha.’

For people with narcissistic personality disorder, the world revolves around them.

After parting ways with Bang Mi-hwa and Ha-young, Il-mok headed to the same place as yesterday.

Although I was able to avoid the coin trap caused by the US dollar, I still liked quiet places.

Because it was a place where I could rest away from the gaze of others.

And when Ilmok arrived there, he saw that Jeong-hyeon was practicing archery there again today.

‘I guess it’s because of social phobia?’

That friend must have felt uncomfortable having people around him.

“Ahem.”

First, Ichimoku made a sound by coughing in vain. Out of consideration for the other person, he kept some distance.

Jeong-Hyeon, who was concentrating on the target, came to his senses when he heard a cough from afar and turned his head.

When Jeong-Hyeon found himself and flinched slightly, Ilmok quickly grabbed the ticket and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.”

Jeong-Hyeon, who had a complicated expression on his face at that sight, carefully opened his mouth.

“Ha, I am sorry for showing such a pitiful appearance, Your Majesty.”

“It wasn’t something that Jeong Gwan-do wanted me to do, so what is there to be sorry about?”

“Well, Your Majesty, you didn’t do it out of malice, did you? I’m sorry, there’s no need to apologize.”

Still, Ilmok, who felt that the apology had worked, asked cautiously.

“Ahem. By the way, would it be okay if I come here in the future? I think this would be the best place to practice stealth.”

Jeong-Hyeon hesitated at that question.

In the first place, this wasn’t his home, so Jeong-hyeon had no right to tell Ilmok to come here or not.

Then he had the option of avoiding this place, but Jeong-hyeon also felt most comfortable in this place where few people came.

If that’s the case, then the only option left is for the two of them to train together here.

Jeong-Hyeon pondered this for a moment, then nodded and answered.

“Please, feel free to come, Your Majesty. Oh, I will ask for your continued support in the future.”

It was thanks to yesterday’s memory. Not the memory of the seizure, but the story I heard from Ichimoku before.

Jeong-Hyeon felt a little more at ease as he remembered that his archery skills, which were often looked down upon as ‘grabbing’, had been acknowledged.

When the other person seemed to be a little more comfortable with him, Ichimoku smiled gently and said.

“It is fate that we ended up using this space, so please call me Jeong Gwan-do.”

“Ah, for now, this is more comfortable. I’m, I’m sorry.”

Seeing her bowing her head, Ichimoku scratched his head awkwardly and brought up a different topic.

“Oh, by the way, Jeong Gwan-do’s martial arts are quite unique. Do you happen to have some knowledge of stealth techniques?”

“It’s not something I can brag about, but I’m learning it.”

Jeong-Hyeon answered like that, moved his bow behind his back, and his presence gradually faded away.

As Jeong-Hyeon’s presence, which was already vague, became even vaguer, it soon became impossible to see him at first glance.

And after a while.

Jeong-Hyeon, whose face looked much more relaxed than when he was talking to Ilmok, carefully released his hiding spell and revealed himself again.

At the bizarre sight of a human figure appearing and disappearing in front of his nose, Ichimoku exclaimed in amazement.

“That’s really great! Jeong Gwan-do. By the way, could you teach me a little about stealth?”

“Me, me!?”

At Jeong-Hyeon’s surprised question, Ilmok nodded vigorously.

“In my opinion, among the officials, Jeong Guan-do’s stealth skills seem to be the best! If Jeong Guan-do is okay with it, could you teach me a little bit of his excellent skills?”

“Wow, what a great technique for a stealth-type catch. It’s all for nothing.”

“What are you talking about! What skill is better than stealth?”

If only you had the art of hiding, wouldn’t you be able to hide and rest anywhere, anytime?

‘Damn it! I should have learned this from the three brothers first!’

It was a great regret that I had not been able to learn the art of hiding in advance because I was busy preparing for the entrance examination for the Magic Academy.

While Ilmok was thinking about such random thoughts, Jeong-Hyeon’s face turned red after being praised for his archery and stealth skills.

“Ha, if you do, I will, I will tell you, even though it may be lacking.”

Jeong-Hyeon, who had said so, demonstrated his stealth skills several times and diligently taught Ilmok the things he had realized and cautioned against while practicing stealth skills.

Ilmok, who had been listening to Jeong-hyeon’s class diligently, spoke in a timid tone after a while.

“Could you please tell me a little closer?”

Jeong-Hyeon continued to demonstrate and explain while maintaining a distance of at least 3 meters from the observer.

Every time I take a step closer to get a closer look.

Ouch.

Taking one step back at a time.

Jeong-Hyeon was still unable to give up social distancing.

* * *

From that day on, Ilmok would always practice stealth and concealment techniques with Jeong-hyeon after dinner.

On his way back after completing his rewarding stealth training as usual, Ilmok headed to the Black Dragon Hall while wearing black clothing and practicing stealth to check his achievements.

In the meantime, Ilmok was able to discover the figures of his fellow officers having a conversation.

‘That’s good. I guess I’ll have to try it out to see if they notice or not.’

I approached them stealthily so as not to break my stealth spell, but they did not notice Ichimoku’s presence.

As the distance grew closer, their conversation began to reach Ichimoku’s ears clearly.

“Isn’t it just so pathetic?”

“That’s what I’m saying. How could someone behave like that in the Magic Hall?”

Although he had only heard a few words, Ichimoku could tell what kind of conversation they were having.

‘Gossiping seems to be a human trait.’

Ichimoku thought about it that way and tried to attract attention. There was no reason to care about other people’s gossip.

However, Ichimoku had no choice but to stop walking.

“Even though Ichimoku Kwando is the youngest disciple of the Supreme Being, you think you can get a higher position just by looking good to Ichimoku Kwando. Isn’t that a really stupid idea?”

Absurdly enough, he was also involved in the gossip.

The only fortunate thing was that it didn’t directly insult me.

Of course, if it was a direct insult to me, I would have given him a beating like the three idiots did last time.

“Isn’t it because you lack talent that you chose such a lethal method?”

“Well, I heard that he passed the exam for the Magic Academy just barely.”

“Recently, the youngest Confucius has been following him around so much that he has barely been practicing, and he is said to be in danger of failing.”

“How could a martial artist who entered the Magic Hall come up with such a thought without even thinking about developing his skills himself?”

“Hahaha. Maybe you have fallen in love with Ilmok Guan Do? Since you have already become a warrior, I think you have decided to become the youngest prince’s wife. Hahaha.”

If you listen carefully, it’s not hard to guess who they’re talking about.

‘It’s not Bang Mi-hwa or Ha-young.’

Those two were both in the same class as Ichimoku to begin with, and they were the type to take care of their own training time. They were light years away from the danger of failing.

Then, there was only one person left. It was Joo Seo-yeon.

‘…I never thought rumors would spread like this.’

Ilmok almost burst out laughing.

Joo Seo-yeon wants to become his wife? It was something a passing dog would laugh at. Her target was not herself, but Jin Ha-yeon.

‘What a bunch of worthless guys.’

Since it was just a meaningless rumor anyway, Ichimoku ignored it and walked towards the Black Dragon Hall, thinking.

‘Hmm. Rumors aren’t my thing, but it’s definitely a hassle to come here every day.’

I thought for a moment about how to get rid of Joo Seo-yeon.

An evil smile appeared on Ichimoku’s face as he thought of a useful plan.

* * *

The next day.

Instead of moving to meet Jeong-hyeon right away as usual, Ilmok waited for someone near the restaurant.

“Confucius!”

And soon, a flying beast that had been wandering around the magic hall all day long in search of Ilmok arrived.

As always, Joo Seo-yeon approached him with her eyes sparkling brightly, and Ilmok asked with a stern expression.

“Does the main government really like Miss Jin so much?”

“!!! That’s right. Finally, Your Majesty understands my heart. By any chance, about Jin Ha-yeon… .”

The moment Joo Seo-yeon was about to try to sell to a sasaeng fan again, Ilmok suddenly shouted.

“Shout!”

Ilmok, who had taken the initiative with a surprise reprimand, pressed her so hard that she could not come to her senses.

“But why don’t you act like Lady Jin?”

“!?”

“Jin So-jeong started out in a poor environment and entered the Magic Academy with low grades, but she graduated second in the Magic Academy. But what on earth is the main officer doing now?”

“As expected, Confucius knew! That’s right. Jin Ha-yeon, despite her noble and beautiful appearance, is a role model for others, having overcome her harsh environment through hard work!”

As expected, Joo Seo-yeon was a strong opponent. Even after hearing words of reprimand, she didn’t lose her admiration for Jin Ha-yeon.

Ilmok felt sick of it, but he couldn’t just keep getting sold to by Joo Seo-yeon like this.

“Your Majesty. I am the youngest disciple of the Great One. Do you think I would meddle in the affairs of an incompetent person?”

“You have correctly identified yourself, Your Majesty. As expected, someone as young as Jin Ha-yeon is worthy of being Your Majesty’s concubine.”

“What I mean is, with the current state of power, you can’t become my subordinate. Naturally, you won’t be able to become Lady Jin’s junior either.”

“!!!”

Only then did Joo Seo-yeon look at Il-mok with a surprised face.

Just when it seemed like they had finally regained some control of the conversation, Ichimoku struck the decisive blow.

“Young Lady Jin graduated second in the Magic Academy. Also, this class will be the top student. So, the main officer should also aim for second place, just like Young Lady Jin. If you don’t graduate second, you will have to give up your dream of becoming Young Lady Jin’s junior.”

“Oh, how could that be… .”

Looking at Joo Seo-yeon, who looked like she was about to have a seizure, Ilmok dropped the bait for the last time.

“On the other hand, if you graduate second, I will take responsibility and accept you as my concubine.”

“!!!”

Joo Seo-yeon looked at Il-mok with a surprised face.

The plan that Ilmok came up with was simple.

For idol diehard fans, it’s a bait that offers a chance to meet their favorite idol in person if they rank in the top 2 in the entire school.

If you were a true fan, this would be enough to make your eyes roll back.

“Honey, now that you have come to me to discuss Miss Jin, please devote yourself to your training for even just a moment longer.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!! I will definitely make sure that I get second place!”

As expected, Joo Seo-yeon left with a look on her face like she had been given some kind of great religious mission.

As he watched Joo Seo-yeon’s back disappear into the distance, Ilmok thought.

‘I finally got a leech out.’

Ilmok had no intention of taking her as his concubine. She was a nuisance to Jin Ha-yeon, and it seemed like she would be tired in many ways.

‘They said that he barely passed the Magic Academy exam, so it’ll probably be hard to get second place, right?’

It was just a trick to keep him from coming back in the future.

Ilmok was looking down on him.

The madness of sasaeng fans.
