Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 71

First Test (6)

As I watched Instructor Chu Il-hwan, who always had his eyes wide open and a playful smile, make a strange expression, I became convinced.

‘Damn. I guess you had dark intentions after all.’

This time, I thought it was a good idea to make it clear that I liked the woman.

And then Chu Il-hwan, whose expression changed belatedly, coughed in vain and said.

“Ahem. Anyway, congratulations on gaining ‘enlightenment’ and improving your skills through this opportunity. If you continue to work hard like you are now, you will be able to take on a big role in the school after you graduate from the Magic Academy.”

At his attitude of trying to end the interview in a hurry, I immediately took the lottery ticket and left the room.

‘It might forcefully release the pain of a broken heart.’

Just because you have that kind of taste doesn’t mean you’re the kind of person. No, there are probably more people who aren’t like that.

However, that guy was a psychopath who had mastered magic.

There was no way of knowing what terrible thing would happen the moment I let my guard down.

* * *

Immediately after Ilmok left, Instructor Chu Il-hwan thought.

When asked about his relationship with Bang Mi-hwa, he replied that he likes women.

And the result of synthesizing recent actions and rumors heard from people around me.

‘So you’re saying that even just one person, Bang Mi-hwa, isn’t enough.’

Indeed, I thought that, as expected from a talented person, he was also very greedy.

At first, he was surprised by the sudden confession, but in fact, Instructor Chu Il-hwan didn’t pay much attention to that part.

The Cheonmasingyo religion did not prohibit the practice of having three ancestral tablets.

Anyway, it was because they revered the Martial Arts and valued punishing the wicked with the Martial Arts the most. As long as they did not take women by force and did not neglect their training due to their obsession with women, the atmosphere was that it did not matter.

‘As expected, Confucius is a funny guy.’

Instructor Chu Il-hwan, who had been laughing, soon returned to his usual smiling expression at the sound of the door opening and greeted the next officer who came in.

“Welcome. Dokgo Gwan-do.”

“Meet the instructor.”

Despite his self-righteous behavior, he was still a very polite and respectful person to his instructors.

‘Hmm.’

Chu Il-hwan thought as he watched Dokgo-pae sit down on his own, unlike Ilmok.

‘The eldest grandson of the Dokgo family, second in command. He would normally be a promising talent, but perhaps because of the youngest son, he leaves much to be desired.’

After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Il-hwan decided to lightly touch on that part.

“What do you think about this test? Dokgo Kwan-do.”

“It was a shame.”

“Huh. Which part are you talking about?”

I asked if there was any self-reflection, but the answer I got was an absurd one.

“I was defeated in vain because I couldn’t fight properly due to the fact that I couldn’t injure him. If it had been a close fight, it would have been different, Instructor!”

At that confident and bold answer, Chu Il-hwan smiled and thought to himself.

‘I want to kill him, in a different sense from the youngest prince.’

The side effect of the Black Thunder Horseman wriggled through his right hand.

Chu Il-hwan, who barely suppressed the urge to kill, forced a smile and spoke.

“Yes. If that’s what you think, I won’t ask you about your martial arts skills. Then, what do you think about other aspects?”

“What about the other parts?”

Chu Il-hwan added to Dokgo-pae’s expression that said he couldn’t understand.

“Don’t you know now that this exam wasn’t just a test of martial arts?”

“Wouldn’t it be enough for a person to excel only in martial arts?”

“After you graduate from the Magic Academy, you will belong somewhere. It is a training and test to develop the ability to carry out the strict orders of the new religion. It means that martial arts skills are not the only thing that are important.”

Only then did Dokgo-pae nod as if he understood.

“I understand what you mean, but it doesn’t apply to me.”

At Dokgo-pae’s foolish words, Chu Il-hwan felt as if the black dragon sleeping in his right hand was going crazy and going berserk.

While demonstrating extreme patience and enduring the rampage of the demonic spirits, Dokgo-pae added.

“I am the eldest grandson of the Dokgo family, and I will be the one who will rise to power in the future, Instructor. I think it is my job to leave such trivial matters to others and subdue the enemy with the strongest force. Oh, and come to think of it, I think I found a person who is good at such things in this exam. I think it would not be bad if I could continue to work with that person.”

At Dokgo-pae’s subsequent words, Chu Il-hwan was barely able to calm the Black Thunder Horse in his right hand.

‘Whew. Well, it’s not like you’re just wearing your head for decoration.’

Chu Il-hwan, who had gathered his thoughts, spoke quickly as if shooting an arrow.

“Yes. It’s also important to understand and utilize your colleagues’ strengths and weaknesses. In particular, the higher you go, the more you’ll need this ability.”

“I will be careful, instructor.”

“I will continue to think carefully about this issue and then I will leave now.”

Originally, he would have pointed out things in more detail, but Instructor Chu Il-hwan quickly kicked out Dokgo-pae.

Somehow, I felt like if we talked any further, I would really kill him.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time.

Just as the interview with Instructor Chu Il-hwan was being conducted in Class A, the interview with Instructor Eun-ryeo was also being conducted in Class B.

“The official residence of Joo Seo-yeon.”

When Instructor Eun-ryeo, who usually seemed prickly and cold, called her name, Ju-seo-yeon answered with a bright face.

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Hmm. I heard a lot of people say that it’s gotten better in many ways compared to when you first moved in. Was there a reason for that?”

“Thanks to Confucius Ilmok!”

“… Have you forgotten that all your classmates at the Magic Academy are equal? ​​The term ‘Your Majesty’ can create a sense of discomfort.”

“I will be careful, instructor!”

Contrary to her reply that she would be careful, Joo Seo-yeon was still smiling brightly.

Instructor Eun-ryeo sighed faintly at the sight and spoke in a blunt tone.

“Still, it’s fortunate that you’re definitely showing signs of growth. Of course, you’re still lacking in every area, but if you keep working hard like you are now, you should be able to catch up by the time you graduate from the Magic Academy.”

“Instructor. Just catching up is not enough! I have to graduate second!”

“Tea, tea…?”

For the first time, Instructor Eun-ryeo’s expression broke and she looked at Joo-seo-yeon with a bewildered expression.

“Yes, Instructor! You must graduate second in class and be with him!”

“… … .”

Instructor Eun-ryeo started to feel dizzy. Who was he?

‘Are you talking about the youngest prince?’

Suddenly, I felt like the tangled thread in my head was unraveling. Somehow, thanks to the youngest prince, I started seeing results recently.

‘It meant that you try hard to look good to the person you love.’

Instructor Eun-ryeo, who had somehow grasped the situation, quickly put on her usual blunt expression and gave the order to evacuate the guests.

“Okay. Keep working hard like you have been doing.”

“Yes, Instructor!”

Immediately after Joo Seo-yeon boldly kicked out.

“Phew.”

Instructor Eun-ryeo let out a deep sigh and rubbed her tired facial muscles.

And after a while, when the next officer arrived, Instructor Eun-ryeo spoke with a blunt expression.

“Come in.”

At her direction, the door opened slowly and the greatly cowered officer came in very carefully.

“Have a seat.”

“I, I, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m comfortable standing up. Instructor.”

Instructor Eun-ryeo barely managed to maintain a blunt expression as she responded to Jeong-hyeon, who was always trying to keep his distance.

“If it’s more comfortable, you can listen while standing.”

“Yes, yes, Instructor.”

However, contrary to her blunt expression, the words that came out of Instructor Eun-ryeo’s mouth were full of praise.

Every time there was a battle, he supported his men by intercepting them from afar, hunted animals and brought them food, and showed off his excellent tracking skills while chasing other units.

Instructor Eun-ryeo, who praised Jeong-hyeon’s performance during the exam, concluded her praise by saying:

“It means that in this exam, Jeong Gwan-do was at least one of the top five performers.”

Jeong-Hyeon, who was curled up in a crouch after receiving repeated compliments from Instructor Eun-Ryeo, answered in a small voice with a completely flushed face.

“I, it’s all thanks to you, Confucius.”

Instructor Eun-ryeo felt a sense of uneasiness.

‘The only difference is the tone and attitude, but you’re giving the same answer as Joo Seo-yeon.’

It was Instructor Eun-ryeo who made me think that Ilmok would become a sinful man.

And for some reason, Eun-ryeo gave a different answer than when Joo-seo-yeon was there.

“Although the command of the Ichimoku Kwando was excellent, it was your ability that carried out the mission perfectly.”

Eun-ryeo hoped that Jeong-hyeon would not become too dependent on Ilmok. Unlike Joo-seo-yeon, she would collapse if she was hurt even a little by Ilmok.

“Also, there is no guarantee that you will be in the same group as Ichimoku Kwando in future exams. Ichimoku Kwando knows you well and has given you orders, but not the others, right? So from now on, you will need to personally tell your group members about your strengths.”

Jeong-Hyeon’s face, which had been flushed red, turned pale in an instant.

The image of being in a group with others, not just Ilmok, and explaining his strengths to them, made me gasp.

Seeing the frail body of Jeong-hyeon, who was a man, looking so pale, Instructor Eun-ryeo let out a faint sigh and said.

“Could you please take off the bandage for a moment? It seems uncomfortable in many ways.”

In response to Eun-ryeo’s consideration, Jeong-hyeon cautiously declined.

“Okay, it’s okay, instructor. I’m used to it.”

As he said that, Jeong-hyeon gently placed his hand on her chest, and the feeling of a bandage tightly wrapped inside her clothes was transmitted.

It was a place where the bandage was tightly wrapped, as it interfered with shooting the bow. For the same reason, Jeong-hyeon, who was lightly touching his short hair that interfered with shooting the bow, turned his gaze slightly to avoid Eun-ryeo’s eyes.

At that anxious look, Eun-ryeo barely let out a sigh and said.

“Go out for a bit and go somewhere where there are no people and catch your breath.”

“Thank you, Instructor!”

Eunryeo let out a sigh she had been holding back as she watched Jeonghyun quickly grab the lottery ticket and leave the palace.

It wasn’t a sigh of regret. It was a sigh of pity.

“ha.”

Instructor Eun-ryeo, whose expression had completely collapsed, thought as she relaxed her tense facial muscles.

‘How should I help that child?’

Eunryeo quickly shook her head as thoughts rose up in her head without her knowing.

The side effects of the magic that Instructor Eunryeo learned were excessive sympathy and rejection disorder.

It was hard to bear to see poor people or those in need of help.

Maintaining a cold expression and blunt tone of speech every time was also to avoid that side effect.

To be precise, to avoid the case where someone pretends to be pitiful and asks for a favor.

If you have a cold face and speak bluntly, the other person will often get scared and give up on asking you a favor. It was a kind of wisdom of life.

Of course, it was a side effect that suited the instructor position of having to look after young officers, but it was dangerous to reveal such a side effect.

The instructor’s role is to teach and care for the entire class, so it would be difficult to focus all of your attention on one or two students.

No, if you were to be swayed by the side effects and try to help the entire government by being overly concerned, there was a risk that you wouldn’t be able to properly handle even the basic tasks that needed to be done.

“Whew. That was dangerous.”

Thinking of Jeong-hyeon, who particularly aroused her sympathy, Eun-ryeo let out a sigh of relief.

I bet that if Jeong-Hyeon cried and asked him to do something, he would never be able to refuse.

“ah!”

Instructor Eun-ryeo, who had barely come to her senses, belatedly realized an important fact and made a regretful expression.

“I forgot that.”

It was something that I should have told others, but I ended up not being able to tell Jeong-Hyeon this important information.
