Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 93

Master (2)

“Ilmok has gone missing?”

In response to Cheonma’s question, Yeom Ga-hui, who had come to Cheonmajeon to report, bowed his head and answered.

“Yes.”

Cheonma unknowingly controlled the magic that was about to run wild.

Dismissal.

In the aftermath, the edge of the armrest of the chair Cheonma was sitting on was crushed and turned to dust.

It was the influence of the magic energy that instantly leaked out from Cheonma’s hand.

“Phew.”

Cheonma sighed and calmed his mind, then looked down at Yeom Ga-hwi, who was bowing his head.

‘Huh. I thought I could control my mind completely now.’

It suddenly occurred to me that maybe my expectations for the youngest were greater than I had thought.

But that didn’t mean I could vent my anger on Yeom Ga-hwi in private.

It was a frequent occurrence for officials in the Magic Hall to die or be seriously injured.

It was rare for someone to get lost during an exam like this, or to sneak out of the Magic Hall during normal times and get lost, but it definitely happened.

And Cheonma did not punish the Maga Do Gwanju for this.

In the first place, the Magic Academy was a place to teach children who had mastered magic. Since it was teaching talents who would be active on the front lines of the new religion in the future, it was inevitable that there would be danger involved.

Even now, the extent of this has been greatly eased, and in the past, the Magic Hall was a place where half of the people would come out dead due to the much more dangerous training and testing they conducted.

So, if the governor was punished every time something like this happened, the position of the Magi Governor would inevitably change several times a year.

So, Cheonma has never punished a governor for something like this until now.

But now, it would be inconsistent to punish the governor for the same thing that happened to his own disciple.

Above all, it was an act that went against the principle that all officials in the Magic Hall were equal.

So instead of getting angry about something that had already happened, Cheonma started to deal with what had already happened.

“Tell the Silver Pavilion and the Dark Pavilion to select personnel. Also, tell those who have completed the selection to immediately go to the Magic Hall and track down Ichimoku’s traces.”

“Your name!”

When he gave instructions to the Silver Guardian who was waiting nearby, the Silver Guardian replied with a gift and disappeared into the darkness.

* * *

Cheonma’s instructions were quickly relayed, and soon those looking for Ilmok left the headquarters and headed to the Magic Hall.

However, it did not mobilize a huge number of people.

As befitting the leader of a great power, it was not only because Cheonma distinguished between public and private affairs.

Searching for the lost involves tracking traces. The idea was that as the number of people increases, the traces left by each other increase the likelihood of hindrance.

In the end, only those who did not have any major tasks assigned to them at the Silver Pavilion and the Dark Pavilion were drafted into the pursuit.

And among them, there were Jin Ha-yeon, who was receiving special training from Eunwigak’s first team leader Dam Bin, and Seo Wan-pyeong, who was a disciple of Ilmok and the third disciple of Cheonma, who belonged to Amyeonggak.

A mysterious time when only moonlight shines softly.

“… Youngest. Where on earth have you gone?”

Seo Wan-pyeong, who arrived at the mountain where the test was conducted, was wandering around looking for traces of Ilmok that he couldn’t even see properly, and he couldn’t overcome his anxiety and bit his fingernails and muttered.

“Don’t worry, Master Sam. If it’s Master Ilmok, you will definitely be safe.”

Rather, Jin Ha-yeon, who was far behind Seo Wan-pyeong in both experience and age, calmly and coolly comforted him.

But even though she acted coolly, she wasn’t feeling very comfortable inside.

‘…I believe that you will be safe.’

Deep inside her cold-looking eyes. Her eyes, filled with earnest feelings, moved forward, thoroughly examining her so as not to miss even the slightest trace.

As time passed, how long did I wander around looking for traces that became blurred due to the wind created by nature or the animals living in the mountains?

“…Your Highness the Third Prince.”

“… I feel it too, Miss Jin.”

Jin Ha-yeon and Seo Wan-pyeong, who had arrived somewhere together, were looking straight ahead with stern expressions.

They both knew because they had graduated from the Magic Academy and had been handed over to the Magic Academy instructors for this mission.

This is the end of the testing area. It was a place blocked by the law.

but.

“The formation… was broken.”

Unfortunately, a tiny gap appeared in the formation just here.

It was almost a coincidence that the two arrived here.

While I was searching the three mountains endlessly, I happened to find a small trace leading in this direction.

At first, the two of them were thinking about ignoring it.

This side was blocked by a formation, and if they got caught in that formation, they were designed to gather at a specific point. If they got caught in that formation, there was no reason for them to get lost in the first place.

However, since I had already searched most of the testing sites, I came here with a hopeful mind and discovered it by chance.

“Youngest!”

As Seo Wan-pyeong hurriedly tried to step into the gap in the formation, Jin Ha-yeon caught him.

“Calm down, Your Highness. Nothing is certain yet!”

“What are you talking about? Haven’t most other places already been searched?”

“There is a chance that it is possible. Also, if we search alone, the search will only get longer. I think it would be better to call the others first and then start searching together.”

Seo Wan-pyeong, who had been lost in ominous thoughts, regained his composure a little thanks to Jin Ha-yeon’s persuasion.

* * *

The search resumed in earnest around sunrise.

A minimal number of people began searching the unconfirmed areas inside the formation, while most of them began searching in a semicircle starting from the gap in the formation. After all, the radius of the semicircle at the back was inside the formation.

And then another half day passed. It was evening.

At Cheonmajeon, a report on the search results was delivered.

“A small crack has appeared in the formation… What do you think about this? Master of the Eight Trigrams Hall.”

The preface to the Bagua-jeon, which covers the formations and organ formations of the Cheonmasingyo. An Hyo-gyun opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“First of all, there is a possibility that someone tampered with the formation and created a loophole….”

An Hyo-gyun, who had discussed the possibility that someone had done it intentionally, immediately shrugged his shoulders and added indifferently.

“Since the tests have already been conducted and the search process has begun, all the traces have been mixed up, making it impossible to identify the culprit.”

Cheonma fixed his eyes on the Bagua Jeonju and used his senses to observe the movements of those gathered in Cheonma Hall.

Cheonma also knew that the scene was already in disarray and that it would be impossible to identify the culprit.

That is why he called together the key figures of the new religion and had a Q&A session with the Bagua Jeonju.

Because anyone who reacted with surprise, anxiety, or relief was very likely to be involved in this matter.

But unfortunately, no one showed any special reaction.

It was impossible to know whether they all naturally hid their feelings like snakes or whether it was really just a coincidence.

Meanwhile, Ahn Hyo-gyun discussed the second possibility.

“Also, there is a small but clear possibility that a natural gap could appear in the formation. The formation created for this test was so large, and since it was a temporary formation created for the test, it wouldn’t be surprising if it was damaged by an animal. If you look through the records of the Magic Hall, it seems like this has happened often in the past, hasn’t it?”

Cheonma nodded as if he understood.

‘I think it’s the former in my mind, but it’s ridiculous to force an interrogation when there are cases.’

However, it was not that he had completely accepted it. He had planned to conduct a secret investigation through Eunwigak, but there was something more important at the moment.

“If so, I guess I should prioritize rescuing Ilmok from Dohwaryeong. Bagua Jeonju. Can you tell me the day when the gate of the dreamy illusionary return to Dohwaryeong opens?”

“It is scheduled to open in six days.”

Cheonma nodded and spoke as if giving instructions to those gathered at Cheonma Hall.

“If you do that, then as soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I will have this old man and Eunwigakju go to Dohwaryeong and come back.”

“!?”

Everyone who had gathered looked at Cheonma with bewildered expressions.

In the meantime, Ahn Hyo-gyun, who was talking to Cheon-ma, asked without hiding his anxiety.

“Are you planning to break the dream and come out?”

The reason he felt ominous was simple. His vision darkened as he thought about restoring the dreamlike ghost town that Cheonma had destroyed and capturing the elders who had escaped in the meantime.

But fortunately, Cheonma didn’t go completely berserk out of worry about his disciple.

“Don’t worry. After securing the safety of the first eye, we will escape through the living gate in five days. I have called you here to warn you in advance to prepare for the time this old man is away.”

There was also an intention to find suspicious people through reactions, but the reason for this was not explicitly stated.

As soon as Cheonma finished speaking, everyone gathered bowed and saluted at the same time.

“I will follow your orders!”

* * *

One by one, they escaped Cheonmajeon and returned to their respective places.

– The Heavenly Horse will visit there tomorrow. Is it certain that the youngest prince is dead?

Even though he suddenly heard a phone call, the old man responded with a phone call while walking without showing any reaction.

– Have you forgotten what kind of place it is? No matter how talented the youngest lord is, the mere official residence of the Magic Hall is not a place where he can last for two days.

In response to that, the old man who had first asked the question let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

If you do anything that stands out, you might arouse Cheonma’s suspicion.

* * *

The previous evening. In front of the residence of the old man who learned the Talhonmujeonggeom.

While being forced to learn the herbivore method from an old man after completing the Talhonmujeonggeom.

Rustle.

With a small noise, another old man appeared between the bushes.

“Who are you, causing trouble in my place!”

When the old man suddenly shouted and got angry, the old man who had been teaching Ilmok answered.

“Who are you to call my house your own!”

“What? You really want to die!”

Suddenly, an old man appeared and started swinging his arms in anger, and a crimson hot ray of sunshine shot out from the old man’s twin swords.

Crunch.

The old man, who had drawn his sword, cut down the sage with a simple swing of his sword.

“Okay! Let’s see it through to the end!”

“Huh. Do you think you can defeat this old man with just that level?”

As the two old men began to shout and mingle, Ichimoku slowly began to walk forward.

‘Now is the chance.’

I was planning to sneak out while the two old men were fighting.

but.

“Hey you!”

“From the way you move stealthily, you must be that guy!”

“!?”

The question ‘Who is that guy?’ occurred to me, but logical thinking was of no help at the moment.

When the two old men sent a warning to Ilmok at the same time, Ilmok quickly bowed and shouted.

“Master! My disciple Yeongjin is here!”

“I don’t have a disciple named Yeongjin!”

“Now that I think about it, it was Yeongjin!”

The two old men, each saying different things, looked at each other for a moment.

“Hehehe. It’s nice to see you here.”

“It’s been a long time, isn’t it? Hehehe.”

It was two old people who suddenly greeted each other warmly.

The old man, who had been chatting briefly with his new master, soon said goodbye and went back the way he had come.

“What are you doing? Shouldn’t you be practicing the first form after the Talhonmujeonggeom?”

And then he immediately started training Ilmok again.

Even though his memories were fading, he had a clear memory of having to teach his disciples, so he could be called a true teacher.

After being tormented by the new master for a long time, the old man said, patting his stomach.

“I’m hungry.”

Realizing that this was his chance, Ichimoku put down his sword and shouted.

“I will have the disciple serve the meal right away, Master!”

It was the moment when an excuse to stop practicing arose.

“Hehehe. A meal prepared by a disciple. Old memories come to mind. Hehehe.”

The old man, with a blank expression as if reminiscing, tilted his head and asked.

“Who are you?”

“… I am a passerby.”

I thought this was my chance to get out of here, but it felt a little hasty.

“You’re an assassin from the Murim Alliance who’s hiding your true identity! Did you think I’d be fooled?”

“!?”

As the old man was about to draw his sword, Ilmok bowed urgently and shouted.

“No, it was a joke, Master! I am your disciple Yeongjin! I wanted to prepare some food for you since you were in the market!”

It was a scene that made me want to cry, watching the joyful kidnapping and confinement life with my new master.
