Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 85

The First Amazing Talent in the Magical Path (4)

Kwak Sul, who had tried to escape reality for a moment, came to his senses belatedly and asked.

“So, how are you going to prepare to fight the instructor, Sergeant?”

“What’s there to prepare for? After getting enough rest, shouldn’t we aim for a head-on confrontation?”

Kwak-sul’s fist twitched without him knowing it, but he couldn’t bring himself to swing his weapon.

Because it was obvious that I would lose. That’s why being smart was a problem. Because I couldn’t try anything crazy.

However, because of his experience from the last exam, Kwak-sul decided to try to appease and soothe Dokgo-pae.

“Chief. If this exam were like the last one, then you would be right, but this exam is a test that integrates all of the training. This means that using things like tracking, hiding, and traps are all part of the test.”

“What Kwak Kwan-do said is correct, Captain. Even if the Captain wanted to fight head-on, wouldn’t the instructor not respond?”

And Choi Woong took Kwak Sul’s side.

Since he also belongs to the category of ‘normal’ people, he intuitively felt that if things continued this way, his grades would fall into the abyss.

“In particular, if we do not prepare traps or countermeasures in advance, there is a risk that other groups will intervene while we are fighting the instructor.”

At Gwak-sul’s last addition, Dokgo-pae, who had been negative until then, finally nodded.

“Certainly. That youngest prince could do something like that.”

In the last exam, Dokgo-pae remembered the incident where he was attacked during a meal.

“Then you guys, prepare the traps from now on. You guys seem to have some ideas.”

At Dokgo-pae’s instructions, Kwak-sul and Choi-woong, who had insisted on digging a trap, looked at each other.

‘… You must have had a hard time.’

‘That’s what happened… .’

Maybe it’s a case of mutual sympathy.

The two began to communicate with each other just by looking into each other’s eyes.

* * *

While Choi Woong and Kwak Sul were hurriedly preparing a trap.

The Joseon Dynasty, which included Bang Mi-hwa and Ha-young, also stopped moving and discussed future plans.

“I think it would be best for everyone to scatter from now on and hide as much as possible.”

Bang Mi-hwa spoke proudly, unfolding her fan.

“Hmm. Even if we stick together, wouldn’t there be a chance that we can steal the bell when we meet Instructor Chu Il-hwan?”

To Jo Won’s point, Bang Mi-hwa answered with her nose raised.

“Huh. How foolish.”

“!?”

“Even I, who have noticed and are keeping an eye on the talents of the Lord, still cannot estimate the power of Instructor Chu. Of course, the Instructor cannot kill us, so he cannot give his all, but on the other hand, Instructor Chu will not hesitate to use any means necessary. He will use hit-and-run and tracking techniques to gradually hunt us down one by one.”

She, who had driven Chu Il-hwan, who had not done anything yet, into a despicable person, spoke with a confident face.

“Anyway, the evaluation criteria for this test was how long we could last. There was no requirement that the group members stay together and last. It would be better to split up and survive while the other groups are being beaten by Instructor Chu Il-hwan, so if even one person survives, it means we won.”

At her logic, the crew members looked at her with blank eyes.

I wasn’t surprised by her logic.

I realized instinctively that this was not a person I could communicate with.

Except for one person.

“As expected, it’s a beauty!”

Ha-young, Bang Mi-hwa’s best friend, was praising her with an expression of admiration. They were truly a well-matched couple.

Bang Mi-hwa’s pride grew even higher as she was stared at by her close friend who praised her and the other three members who were just blankly looking up at her.

‘Heh. I tried to make Confucius kneel this time, but I can’t help it because the test is like this. Well, in the end, if I just survive until the end, I’ll win.’

She said, confident of victory.

“If you do, then move slowly. Hide as much as possible and erase any traces.”

At her direction, the three crew members who couldn’t even express their opinions sighed inwardly and began to disperse.

And Instructor Eun-ryeo, who was watching them from beyond the bushes, also let out a faint sigh.

It wasn’t because Bang Mi-hwa’s plan was foolish.

The test at the Magic Hall was designed to present situations similar to real combat, and to see how the practitioners would handle them.

In that sense, it was clearly a reasonable way to disperse in order to survive.

Especially if you obtain information that must be reported to the new religion during a mission. It is quite possible that a situation will arise where everyone will disperse in order to return alive.

The problem was that there was a shortage of manpower.

Instructor Eun-ryeo let out a faint sigh and gave instructions to the assistant instructor nearby using sign language. Then, they each started chasing after them one by one.

The remaining three were now said to be unsurveillable.

* * *

When the group that Ilmok belonged to had subdued the three groups, the remaining two groups had also established their own policies.

“Hmm.”

Chu Il-hwan, who confirmed that all the hourglasses he had set aside had fallen, stretched slightly and started walking.

‘Was this the group that Ichimoku Kwando belonged to…?’

Chu Il-hwan, who had been thinking about chasing Ilmok without realizing it, soon changed his mind. After all, it was a test after all, so it needed to be conducted fairly to some extent.

Chu Il-hwan, who was observing the traces of the four groups’ departures, began to chase the group with the largest traces.

The sound of metal rings out one after another, centered around Chuilhwan, who is moving quickly along the trail.

It was the sound coming from the bell hanging on the belt.

Hearing this sound, the pursued officials were able to escape, but Chu Il-hwan did not care.

It was a bell that had been hung for that purpose anyway, and it was because he knew that he was still quite far away from those who were chasing him.

Exactly, through the traces they left behind.

Chu Il-hwan’s movements, which had been running at full speed, slowed down at some point.

‘It’s not a very old trace.’

Chu Il-hwan, who realized that he was gradually getting closer to his target, started to follow the trail while moving slowly so as not to make the bell ring.

Move secretly like that for a while.

Sigh.

The corners of Chu Il-hwan’s mouth went up crookedly.

‘That’s interesting. Would you like to hang out sometime?’

Chu Il-hwan, who quickly collected his expression, followed the traces with an expression that showed he knew nothing.

widely.

At some point, he felt a strange, alien sensation on the ground he was walking on.

Pot!

At the same time, a tree trunk seemed to be tangled around his legs.

Wedge!

Sharp, sharp branches fell one after another from the air.

However, when Chu Il-hwan lightly waved his right hand, the black lightning that shot out through his hand instantly burned the tree branches.

And at the moment when Chu Il-hwan unfolded his first meal.

Pot!

“Die!!”

“This is an opportunity!!”

“Ugh!”

Officials simultaneously emerged from all directions and sprayed their respective auras at Chu Il-hwan.

However, the sword they spread was just cutting through the air.

“Even so, don’t you think it’s a bit harsh to tell the instructor to die?”

Chu Il-hwan, who had been flying into the air with his excellent lightness technique, playfully clashed his swords with each other.

Phage crackle!

The black lightning in both hands crossed each other and grew in size with a loud noise.

“Haat!”

Riding on the twin spears held out while shouting, a huge black lightning bolt was sprayed toward the officials.

“damage!”

“shit!!”

However, because it was such a large herbivore, the guards were able to dodge its blows without difficulty by flying around.

No, it was Chu Il-hwan who deliberately spread out that kind of behavior to avoid it.

Because we couldn’t kill the officials during the exam.

Pot.

Chu Il-hwan, who landed on the ground, flew towards one of the officials who had scattered in all directions while trying to avoid the first attack without hesitation.

“Haat!”

At the sight of Chu Il-hwan closing the distance in an instant, Gwan-do became the target. Joo Seo-yeon fired a single shot.

Her spear, which had mastered the magic that emphasized the secrets of illusion, displayed strange movements and created illusions.

Hot.

Chu Il-hwan immediately grasped the entity and grabbed the side of the spear with his right hand.

Phagec!

And the black lightning that came out of Chu Il-hwan’s sword rode through the short spear and penetrated Ju Seo-yeon’s body.

“Keeeeeek!”

While she was paralyzed by the electric shock and screaming strangely, Chu Il-hwan quickly reached her acupoint and threw himself to the side while wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

bang!!!

Immediately after that, an explosion erupted from the place where Chu Il-hwan and Joo Seo-yeon were.

“Dokgo Kwan-do. Are you planning to kill your comrades?”

It was a tragedy created by Dokgo-pae.

“Minor casualties are bound to occur in the process of capturing the enemy general, Instructor!”

Chu Il-hwan, who was putting the subdued Joo Seo-yeon down on the floor, flinched without realizing it at Dokgo-pae’s nonsense.

“Dokgo Kwan-do. That’s true, but this is a test, not a real battle.”

“Didn’t you tell us to treat it like a real battle?”

“… … .”

Should I kill him?

Although such a thought occurred to Chu Il-hwan in an instant, he was able to suppress the urge to kill without difficulty.

Because a funnier prank came to mind.

“Come in and take a look.”

“That’s what I thought!”

Dokgo-pae rushed at Chu Il-hwan’s provocation like a wild boar.

And Chu Il-hwan displayed a splendid technique and easily avoided Dokgo-pae’s attacks.

In addition, Chu Il-hwan secretly moved towards other officials.

in result.

“Now, just a moment!”

“Stop the arson!!”

The sword of Dokgo-pae, which failed to hit Chu Il-hwan, flew towards the members of the group.

“Profit! Get out of the way!”

Dokgo-pae, who shouted as if his crew members were getting in his way, continued to attack with his Dokgo-gu sword without stopping.

Because of Dokgo’s ignorant swordsmanship, the other members were unable to properly demonstrate their martial arts skills and were forced to dodge.

And Chu Il-hwan.

Pot.

“One more, first.”

The Dokgo faction was easily subduing the officials who had broken their posture.

Eventually, not long after, all the remaining officials except Dokgopae were subdued.

“Isn’t that too petty!!”

When Dokgo-pae let out a scream of evil, Chu Il-hwan responded with a bitter laugh.

“Didn’t you say you’d do it like it was a real fight? If you say something like that in a real fight, you’ll be treated like a fool. Dokgo Gwando.”

In response to Chu Il-hwan’s playful provocation, Dokgo-pae instead made a determined expression.

“That’s all for the best! Now that I’m the only one left, I’ll fight the instructor squarely!”

“Okay. Come back and take a look.”

When Chu Il-hwan, who had decided to end the joke here, nodded with a serious expression for the first time in a while, Dokgo-pae unfolded his Dokgo Gugeom and pressured Chu Il-hwan.

visor!

visor!!

The hand of Chu Il-hwan, covered in black lightning, and the sword of Dokgo-pae clash one after another, creating a clanging sound.

Dokgo’s great sword, wrapped in black energy, did not waver easily even when it collided with the black lightning, and Dokgo continued to attack while enduring the lightning.

‘Wow. You’ve definitely improved quite a bit over the past two months. Is it because you have a clear goal of becoming a master of Ichimoku? Or is it because of the special training from the master? Maybe it’s both.’

Let’s just hang out for a moment and fight off all of Dokgo’s attacks.

As I continued to fight against the endless onslaught of the Dokgo gang, the urge to kill began to surface again.

‘I guess I should end it here.’

When Chu Il-hwan realized that if he dragged it on any longer, he could turn his precious pipe into a lump of charcoal, his attitude changed.

The once playful eyes turned serious.

At the same time, Dokgo-pae struck down the enemy with his spear.

Pot!

He dug in at a much faster pace than before, and in an instant, he thrust out his left arm and struck Dokgo-pae in the stomach.

“Ugh… .”

While Dokgo-pae was sitting on the brain that had dug into his abdomen, Chu Il-hwan, who had returned to a smiling face, touched Dokgo-pae’s blood clot.

* * *

Chu Il-hwan, who handed over the subdued officials to the instructor in charge of the first group, set out on a journey to find another group.

“hmm?”

Then, by chance, he discovered a small trace.

The traces are too small to suggest that five people were walking together.

‘Hehehe. This season is definitely fun.’

I liked the fact that each group took a different approach.

But fun is fun and tests are tests.

Chu Il-hwan followed the trail and was able to easily find the members of the group who were acting alone.

“It’s fun, but finding the other four will definitely be a hassle.”

Chu Il-hwan, who muttered a light sentiment, took another step forward to find new traces.

How long did it take to wander through the mountains like that?

Chu Il-hwan, who discovered new traces, began to move carefully to hide the sound of the bell.

Sigh.

Chu Il-hwan’s eyes met with a new target, and the corners of his mouth went up to his ears.

And the target that met Chu Il-hwan’s eyes.

“Fuck.”

Ichimoku’s face crumpled without mercy.
