Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 72

Senior (1)

That evening.

After finishing the meal, I walked across the large central smokehouse as usual, to the quiet place where Jeong-Hyeon was waiting.

Squeak.

With an unpleasant friction sound, the closed main door of the magic hall opened.

Under the sky turning crimson as the sun sets.

A group of a little over twenty people dressed in wind-blown clothing were seen quickly entering the Magic Hall.

‘Hmm. Now that I think about it, there was a story like that.’

Right after finishing all the interviews today, I remembered what Instructor Chu Il-hwan had announced.

There was news that the two-year-old officials of the Magic Hall were returning.

The training period for the Magic Academy was two years, and while the first year involved various basic training, the second year’s focus was on ‘practical training’.

They periodically leave the Magic Hall and join the armed forces or other organizations to carry out missions together for about two weeks to a month.

That is, the upperclassmen who had gone out for their first internship around the time I entered the military were just returning.

Take a moment to look at the figure of the upper class riders crossing the training ground, their entire bodies wrapped in blood-covered robes and giving off a solemn atmosphere.

‘Well, it doesn’t have to do with me.’

He turned his head and headed towards the place where he had been practicing his stealth skills.

When I got there, I saw Jeong-Hyeon, who had arrived first and was aiming his bow into the air.

“You were here today too.”

When I greeted him from a distance of about a meter out of consideration, Jeong-Hyeon quickly turned around and bowed his head.

“Oh, it’s been a while, Your Majesty!”

“… Didn’t we take the test together yesterday too?”

“Well, it just seems like it’s been a while, Your Majesty.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

For some reason, I felt more restless than usual, so I deliberately took a step back.

“Hippup.”

Then, suddenly, Jeong-Hyeon made a surprised expression and took a bold step forward.

And perhaps because the distance had become closer again, he appeared restless.

‘…Has your social phobia gotten worse? Then why did you bother to chase me?’

I thought that maybe my achievements in magic had made me crazier.

Since I felt like I would fall into a state of obsession if I just left it alone, I thought of a topic that would distract Jeong-Hyeon.

“Oh. By the way, didn’t you have an interview today?”

“Yes. Yes! Oh, I had an interview with Instructor Eun-ryeo.”

“I see. What did you say about the test?”

At my question, Jeong-Hyeon blushed and twisted his body.

“Oh, he said it was okay.”

It seemed like he was embarrassed to receive praise from Instructor Eun-ryeo.

“That, and….”

Jeong-Hyeon, who was about to say something more, suddenly turned pale.

It turned red and white. It was a strange sight in many ways.

‘If this continues, it’ll really go out of control?’

And my prediction was correct.

Jeong-hyeon, who had been fidgeting and had a pale face, suddenly raised his head in an unusual manner and looked straight at me and shouted.

“Oh, please continue to be with me, Your Majesty!”

“???”

A scream of unknown meaning.

I tried to rack my brain to figure out what it meant.

“Tsk. Romance in the sacred magic hall.”

An unexpected intruder appeared from behind.

When I turned around wondering who it was, I saw a man wearing a bloody robe.

Judging from his attire, he seemed to be one of the upper class riders who had just returned to the Magic Hall.

As I turned to meet his eyes, the hunched, square-faced, bulky man spoke.

“I came here to share what I’ve learned from this expedition, and now you juniors are having these romantic relationships in this training ground of my body. Just get out of here.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

‘What the hell is this crazy guy? Just do one thing. Just one thing.’

It seems like she’s open-minded to think that seeing two men together is a romantic relationship, but what she’s saying is just plain old-fashioned.

In the midst of all this absurdity, I turned my head to look.

“Eek.”

Jeong-hyeon, whose face had turned pale just a moment ago, was starting to turn red again, and then black.

‘He looks surprised when a stranger approaches him.’

After thinking about what to do for a moment, I clicked my tongue and said to the senior.

“Tsk. We came first and were using it, so if you want to practice properly, go somewhere else.”

Suddenly, that senior guy burst into rage.

“Hahahaha! It looks like you don’t see any juniors! Alright! Then let’s decide on the new religion’s way.”

A sigh escaped me.

‘Why do all those crazy demon cult guys think the same?’

Still, since I had expected something like this to happen, I put my left hand forward and wiggled it.

“Come in.”

At my provocation, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of the senior’s mouth.

“Okay! Just hold on for a moment, until I come to my senses!!”

As soon as he finished shouting, the senior guy used his lightness technique and ran straight at me.

However, as it was linear, its speed was explosive.

And in an instant, the senior guy narrowed the distance between us at that moment.

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

He pulled out the sword from the sheath he had been wearing at his side and displayed his powerful swordsmanship.

Since it seemed like the boar-like senior was digging in faster than I was retreating, I deployed my left attack instead of retreating.

The sword drawn with the sword technique flew after me.

visor!

I had already flown to the left and my sword, drawn using the magic of the Talhonbi Sword, was there to meet me.

Swish.

There, he used the magic of the Echo Sword to channel his power and tried to bounce the boar senior’s sword upwards.

‘Hoo.’

Still, perhaps because he was a senior by one year, he didn’t fall for it as easily as Dokgo’s sword.

After that, the boar continued to swing its sword and try to corner me.

‘Is he of a similar lineage to that assistant?’

It was a method that reminded me of Chu Il-hwan’s assistant. It was mainly a one-sided attack-oriented sword technique.

In addition, the connection and flow of the story were quite natural, as if he had been playing around in the magic hall for a year.

Compared to that Dokgo-pae guy, he was definitely a few levels above me.

However, since he was still only a government official, he was inferior to an assistant instructor.

‘If that’s the case.’

Use the magic to retreat and dodge several times.

Since I was roughly familiar with the level and fighting style of the wild boar, I also made changes.

‘End it quickly with a firefight.’

Using the single-shot technique that emphasizes the magic of pleasure, he continued to stab.

The sword and sword move quickly, each creating a silvery trail in the air.

Buck! Buck!

Sparks fly as they collide in the air.

The sword and the sword clashed quickly several times.

It was I who was being pushed back little by little.

That boar’s magic was not only fast, but also incredibly powerful, so much so that my hands would go numb every time I hit it.

“Haaaah!”

The moment the boar, completely immersed in the fight, seized the opportunity and swung his sword with all his might again, with a shout.

Pot.

I swung my sword as if I was going to collide with Danhon Ilseom.

And then, like a black snake flying in a straight line, he turned his sword and passed over his senior’s sword as if riding it, heading straight for his Adam’s apple.

Pot.

“It’s the end.”

Finally, I used my sword and stopped it right in front of my senior’s Adam’s apple and said.

The last thing my senior did was, I narrowly avoided it by twisting my body.

It could be said that the half-adventure strategy to quickly end the fight worked well.

I was confident that I could win even if I fought properly, but the reason I took such a risk was because of the aftereffects of the last test.

‘Whew. I’m glad I finished it before the obsession kicked in.’

To be exact, it was because of the runaway incident caused by the US military.

At that time, I only danced the sword dance for 14 seconds, so my level did not increase or the side effects became worse. I was just able to calm my obsession to a certain extent and finish the sword dance.

However, if I fought with that senior, who was a master compared to my peers, for a long time, there was a risk of coming to a useless realization.

And the boar, who had been subdued in vain on the last day, was looking down at the sword in front of its neck with a half-souled expression.

“ah!”

The wild boar, who had been belatedly exclaiming in admiration as if he had gathered his thoughts, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha! This is a real blow to my junior! I didn’t know he could save Heo Cho in that way!”

It seems that during that short period of time, he replayed the process of the martial arts in his head.

Of course, it wasn’t my part-time job.

“Then please go now, senior.”

“Hahahaha! Right. Losers don’t talk. If you tell me to leave, I’ll leave. But before I go, I have to say this.”

As expected, he was a contradictory person.

If losers are supposed to be silent, why is your tongue so long?

But, whether I thought that or not, Senior Boar just kept talking about what he wanted to say.

“I apologize for the misunderstanding. If you have the skills of a junior, you should be able to date as much as you want. Hahaha! Have a good time!”

And before Nana Jeong-Hyeon could even answer, he coolly turned his back and left.

‘What the heck? Are you crazy?’

Come to think of it, in the Demonic Cult, a madman just means an ordinary unmanned person.

‘Don’t think too deeply. Just get compulsive.’

After shaking off my distracting thoughts and looking back, I saw Jeong-Hyeon’s face with a grave expression.

* * *

I took a moment to look at the back of my senior who came like the wind and left like the wind.

“Are you okay?”

At Ichimoku’s question, Jeong-hiccup hiccuped with a thoughtful face.

“Hippup.”

Thanks to the nonsense his senior kept spouting off, he realized that his last words were very open to misunderstanding.

‘I, I just meant to say, please continue to be in the same group… .’

After receiving advice from Instructor Eun-ryeo, Jeong-hyeon continued to think and imagine throughout the day.

What should I do if I get into a different group than usual on the test?

Just thinking about it makes me breathless and my face turns pale.

That’s why I asked Ilmok to continue to be with me.

Because I didn’t think I could possibly endure being in the same group as other people.

‘Oh, I have to explain this quickly.’

If there was a misunderstanding about what he had confessed, he had to clear it up quickly.

If things continue like this, the first close friend I made after learning the Ghost Spirit Shrine will start avoiding me.

But, perhaps because of that burden, my mouth, which had not been able to open, did not open easily as if it had been coated with glue.

When Jeong-Hyeon was fidgeting and not knowing what to do.

Ilmok, who had been watching the scene for a while, scratched his head and said.

“That, that thing you said a little while ago.”

“Oh, no. I, I mean, that, that is…”

“You mean to keep being in the same group? Is that right?”

“!?”

Jeong-Hyeon’s eyes widened as he wondered how he could have known.

“Yes, that’s right. That, that’s what I meant, Your Majesty.”

Ichimoku nodded once in response to that answer and then spoke with an awkward expression.

“Since the instructors are in charge of organizing the teams, I can’t give you a definite answer. But I’ll try to talk to the instructors first.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

It was as if the grass that had been stuck to his mouth had been ripped out, and now Jeong-Hyeon could speak freely.

The stuffy feeling that had been squeezing my chest and the rush of blood that had been making me dizzy disappeared in an instant.

But why is that?

Even though he was at ease, Jeong-Hyeon still felt a sense of regret in his heart.
