Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 83

The First Amazing Talent in the Magical Path (2)

A few days later.

After reviewing all the reports on the official maps submitted by Chu Il-hwan and pondering them for a few more days, Yeom Ga-hwi summoned Chu Il-hwan to the official residence.

“I will also be observing the second test for new officers that will be held soon.”

“All right.”

Chu Il-hwan didn’t show any particularly surprised reaction to Yeom Ga-hui’s notice.

He would observe tests or training sessions three or four times a year.

However, the purpose was not to inspect the pipes.

Originally, the role of the Magic Academy’s director was to monitor the ‘instructors’, not the officers.

Since the instructors at the Magic Academy were also skilled in magic to a certain level, they were all suffering from side effects.

Although they are able to perform their duties as instructors thanks to a certain degree of self-control, they are all like those who carry a bomb on their person that could explode at any moment.

The role of the Magic Academy was to suppress such instructors.

Of course, if they wanted to spy on the instructors, it would have been right to do it by surprise without revealing their presence, but Yeom Ga-hui never acted that way.

Boasting a bold personality, he always expressed his intentions in advance before attending a visit.

And because he knew well about Yeom Ga-hwi’s personality, Cheon-ma appointed him to the position of the Magic Sword Master.

In the first place, the position of the Magic Academy Master was more about ‘preventing’ the instructors from going wild, and cleaning up after the instructors caused an accident was just the lesser of two evils.

Ultimately, it meant that it was important to make the instructors self-restrained by constantly making them aware that the Magical Master was watching them.

In that sense, Yeom Ga-hui’s bold personality was a perfect fit for the position of the Magoist King.

Chu Il-hwan also knew Yeom Ga-hwi’s personality, so he naturally assumed that this was to monitor them as well.

‘Hmm. I guess I need to check on the instructors’ condition and figure out the youngest Confucius’ true nature.’

In fact, the real purpose of the Yan Jiahui was to examine the whole picture.

Because the evaluation of Ilmok was so mixed, the Magician wanted to take a closer look with his own eyes.

“We might be a little short-staffed for this exam, so I will also be taking on the role of supervisor in place of the instructors.”

Although it was intended to examine the details, Chu Il-hwan took the lottery ticket with a moved expression on his face.

“I can only express my gratitude for your consideration. I will do my best to prevent any unfortunate incidents from occurring during this exam.”

“Okay. I guess I’ll be busy with work, so I’ll be going now.”

Chu Il-hwan thought as he left Gwanjujeon after hearing Yeom Ga-hwi’s order to congratulate the guests.

‘You’re all doing well, but I need to tell the instructors. This time, you need to come to your senses.’

Of course, Chu Il-hwan himself was included among those who ‘needed to come to their senses’.

* * *

The next morning. As usual, it was Instructor Chu Il-hwan’s martial arts training session.

But for some reason, instead of going straight into training, Chu Il-hwan drew the attention of the officials by saying he had something to convey.

“In five days, it will be two months since you entered the Magic Hall you saw. And as you may have felt during the last test, the second test will be held in five days.”

Ilmok, who had been listening to Instructor Chu Il-hwan’s words with a calm expression, nodded.

‘Hmm. Was that an exam notice?’

I had a feeling it was going to be good.

Since the last martial arts meeting, Ilmok has been doing his best to rest for over twenty days. He hasn’t even drawn his sword once outside of martial arts training.

Even during martial arts training, he just pretended to swing it around.

‘I’ll just pay it forward and then rest again.’

While Ilmok was thinking about taking a nap or taking a deep breath in that empty lot today, Instructor Chu Il-hwan continued his explanation.

“The reason why I am talking about the exam in advance is because the governor will also be observing this exam.”

“!!!”

The eyes of the officers in the first platoon who were listening to Instructor Chu Il-hwan’s explanation grew even hotter.

Looking over those officials, Instructor Chu Il-hwan added his final words.

“Of course, I believe that no one will take the test half-heartedly or carelessly just because the Lord is not watching. However, since the Lord is also observing, I hope that you will feel a little more nervous. That’s all.”

For some reason, while talking, Chu Il-hwan kept glaring at Il-mok while blurting out the words, ‘roughly, moderately’.

‘Ahem.’

Ilmok quickly turned his eyes away from the hot gaze. It wasn’t because he felt guilty.

‘Damn it. You still haven’t given up on me?’

That was because whenever I made eye contact with Chu Il-hwan, I would get goosebumps all over my body.

Meanwhile, while Chu Il-hwan was interested in Ilmok, there were others who were most stimulated by his words.

‘The Lord is visiting! It must be to see me!’

‘Hehehe. It seems the Lord is also interested in my talent.’

Thanks to Ilmok’s concession, Dokgo-pae and Bang Mi-hwa, who were receiving special training from Yeom Ga-hui, came up with similar thoughts.

The reason the Magic King came to observe was to personally confirm the results of their special training.

Naturally, their gazes turned to Ilmok.

‘Hehehe. This time it won’t be easy!’

‘Hohoho. Since Confucius is too embarrassed to apologize anyway, I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to kneel down and offer it myself this time!’

In the end, in order to show the results of the special training, it was necessary to hit Jang Won-in Ilmok with a punch.

‘Why are they like that?’

Of course, from Ichimoku’s perspective, it just looked like crazy guys plotting another crazy thing.

At that time, Chu Il-hwan, who had finished announcing the exam, gave the order.

“Now begin your training.”

As soon as his command was given, the officials spread out on the training ground, each with a space between them, and began swinging their weapons.

Although there were occasional martial arts drills conducted under the supervision of Chu Il-hwan and his assistants, at some point martial arts training sessions began to be conducted in this manner.

After Chu Il-hwan, who had watched the first day of the training, informed each of the officials of what they needed to improve or improve on. The officials practiced their martial arts while paying attention to the areas they had been told.

And Chu Il-hwan and his assistant would go around checking on each person’s condition, and if they seemed to be stuck, they would even give them some guidance through direct instruction.

It was the same after the last exam and the martial arts meeting. Chu Il-hwan pointed out the mistakes and errors made during the exam and the martial arts meeting, and the officials reflected on their own martial arts and practiced accordingly.

So, that means other people are practicing that way. Excluding the first step.

As Ilmok stared somewhere, the three people there approached Ilmok with their heads bowed.

They were the three who got beaten up so badly that they picked a fight with Ilmok on the second day.

In particular, Choi Woong, who had passed on information about Ilmok to his senior riders, felt a pang for no reason and approached Ilmok while using his lightness skills.

The three men, including Choi Woong, took their places around Ilmok and began to practice martial arts, each swinging their weapons.

It was a kind of curtain of humanity. To avoid the gaze and attention of Chu Il-hwan and other crazy guys.

By setting up the three as a shield and blocking the view of others, he was able to just swing his sword around appropriately.

“Whoaaaaam.”

While yawning and stretching out.

* * *

As I spent each day lazy enough that Jin Ha-yeon or Cheon Ma would rush to cut off my balls if they found out, the five days passed quickly.

The officers of the first and second classes left the main gate of the Magic Academy together with their instructors, just like they did during the last exam.

But something was different after arriving at that last gathering place.

“Jo Il. Dokgo-pae. Choi Woong. Kang Tae-seok. Kwak Sul. Joo Seo-yeon.”

First of all, each group had five people, not four.

“The group whose name has been called, come this way.”

And instead of moving them in advance by group, they simply categorized them into groups.

“The last four groups. Ilmok. Seonghwan. Jeonghyeon. Lee Gyun. Bugyeong.”

Ilmok glanced at those in the same group as him.

Seonghwan was in the same class as Ilmok, and like Choi Woong, he was one of the three men who had troubled Ilmok.

And for some reason, Choi Woong was looking at Seonghwan with envious eyes.

‘Damn. I should have teamed up with Confucius Ichimoku.’

It was because I had benefited greatly from the Ichimoku method in the last exam. In addition to that.

“Hahaha. Everyone, just trust this leader!”

The self-proclaimed Jo Chang bursts into a confident laugh. Whenever I look at Dokgo-pae, I can’t help but think that he’s ruined.

In the meantime, Ilmok let out a faint sigh without anyone knowing.

‘Did you go too wild during the first test and the mock exam?’

Among the five members of Ilmok, Ilmok and Seonghwan were all in the first class. The three others, including Jeonghyeon, were all in the second class.

It seemed to be a tactic to balance the skills of each group. On the other hand, the group that Joo Seo-yeon belonged to, which was at the bottom of the second group, had only three members, including Dokgo-pae and the first group.

It’s not that they thought they were at a disadvantage. They were more than capable of handling two or three people. Just that.

‘I was thinking of doing it while taking a proper rest. Tsk.’

The problem was that since the team formation was like this, it became a bit difficult to maintain the ranking.

Ilmok, who was shaking off his regrets, looked at Jeong-hyeon.

‘Still, I’m glad that Instructor Eunryeo accepted my request.’

The day after the first test, as Jung-hyun had requested, Ilmok asked Instructor Eun-ryeo to put him in the same group as Jung-hyun.

And fortunately enough, Instructor Eun-ryeo accepted Ilmok’s request.

“I will only trust Jeong Gwan-do.”

As Ilmok said that, he took a step closer to Jeong-hyeon.

“Okay, okay, please take care of it.”

For some reason, Jeong-Hyeon was trembling and retreating further than the distance that Il-Mok had approached.

“Eek.”

Then, he realized too late that he had become close to another crew member, Seonghyeon, and let out a strange scream again.

‘Confucius is a liar!’

Since following Ichimoku’s advice and practicing mental training the last time, she has found it more difficult to get close to Ichimoku.

Even if the distance got just a little closer, the events from that day in the fantasy world would come to mind, and my face would turn red and my whole body would twist.

The other three in the same group thought as they watched Jung-Hyeon, who looked like he might start a fight at any moment.

‘I think the timing is wrong…’

‘There’s almost one, but it’s not enough.’

‘Still, since we have the youngest prince, there might be some possibility, right?’

When they were in a group and each had completely different thoughts, Instructor Chu Il-hwan, who had finished forming the groups, stepped forward and spoke.

“The test will begin in an hour. The test content is simple. You must survive the pursuit of this instructor.”

As he said that, Instructor Chu Il-hwan took out a bell from his bosom and tied it to his belt.

“The instructor will pursue you while wearing this drop. You must move a little bit earlier, erase the traces, and shake off the instructor’s pursuit. The longer you survive, the more points you will receive. However, if you get trapped in the formation while trying to escape Taecheonbong, you will fail, so be careful. Lastly.”

Perhaps to draw the attention of the officials, Chu Il-hwan paused for a moment and then spoke with his characteristically playful smile.

“The team that succeeds in stealing the instructor’s bell will be awarded the highest score regardless of time.”

It was a smile that seemed to be provoking her to try it if she could.

“Okay, the explanation is over, so let’s get moving!”

As soon as Instructor Chu Il-hwan gave his instructions after finishing all the explanations, all the groups dispersed and started running.

And then the instructors and assistants who had been waiting also used their stealth skills to chase after the group they had been assigned to.

Among them was also the Magadogwanju Yeom Ga-hui.

‘A test that is close to the real thing. When there are many people mixed in, your true nature will come out to some extent.’

The group he was chasing was the same group that Ilmok belonged to.
