There was no greater blow to me than this. The pig I fought in my previous life was also Sa-gong-hyeon’s subordinate, so I suffered humiliation and was beaten. In addition, that pig did not even learn martial arts, but simply defeated me with its size. It would go without saying if it was Sa-gong-hyeon.
“I am fine.”
Sa-gong-hyeon’s eyes flashed with life for a moment.
Cheonghwa nodded as if she knew that would happen. But she didn’t ask for my opinion. She seemed to think that it was a given that I would fight.
“I would like you to pair me with someone else.”
“why?”
Cheonghwa asked with a tone of blatant disappointment. It seemed like she was expecting something from me, but I had to at least let her know that I wasn’t expecting anything from her.
“I have never learned any martial arts even once.”
“Didn’t the priest teach you the Three Disasters and Three Disasters?”
“As you know, Sagonghyeon is the head of the Central Plains Sect. I am just the son of a farmer. I have nothing to gain from this fight.”
“Don’t worry, I’m just trying to see if you have talent.”
Cheonghwa looked at me blankly and continued speaking.
“Of course, the captain will know that and keep the situation in mind. If a dangerous situation arises, I will stop it.”
“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry. Since my brother has only recently entered the mind method, I will also fight without using my internal energy.”
Sakong-hyeon smiled. Cheong-hwa nodded happily.
“……no.”
I tried to say more, but then shut my mouth tightly.
Behind me, Cheong-Hyeon was glaring at me as if he was going to eat me. He seemed to think that I was hurting his reputation by spitting at the heavenly death penalty.
There is no way out of this. I nodded helplessly. It’s not like I didn’t prepare anything. If anything, it was good.
“Then I will do that.”
“Good idea.”
Only then did Cheonghwa nod with her expression relaxed.
I stood in the training ground, staggering around. Unlike me, Sa Gong-Hyeon took the stance of Samjae Kwonbeop.
As expected, the threads of martial arts that were learned from his posture were evident. His thick arms and thighs reminded me of a stallion, and they couldn’t be compared to oily and soft lumps like mine.
“I’m going to do it slowly, so relax your expression a bit.”
Sakonghyun spoke to me in a friendly tone. He seemed to be pretending to be close to me because I seemed to be getting attention from Cheonghwa. He was a disgusting guy from start to finish.
“Let’s get started.”
As Cheonghwa spoke, Sa Gong-hyeon ran out. Sa Gong-hyeon’s eyes rushing toward me did not contain any emotion that suggested he would take it easy.
There was only one chance. Fortunately, Sa-gong-hyeon was underestimating me. Because he was underestimating me, he was rushing at me without any exploration.
I took out the bag from my waist and threw it in front of me. The sand that was full of it scattered, kicking up dust.
“100 million!”
Sa-gong-hyeon, who was surprised by my sudden action, slowed down. However, since I was already running at full speed, I couldn’t stop. Sa-gong-hyeon got hit in the face with sand.
“… … What is that!”
The angry voice of Cheong-Hyeon Jin-In, who had been watching, was heard.
I know. This is something that only the Sapas do, and it is something that the non-partisan faction, which is the ruling party, should not do.
But I wanted to punch the pig that beat me up in my past life, and if it got picked on and kicked me out, I would be thankful.
“This crazy kid!”
Sa Gong-hyeon also couldn’t control his anger at the sudden situation. It seemed like he even forgot for a moment that Cheong-hwa and Cheong-hyeon were watching him.
I had no intention of missing this opportunity. I punched Sa-gong-hyeon in the jaw, who was at a loss as to what to do with the sand in his eyes.
puck!
The impact of the jawline that fit snugly on the fist was considerable.
‘Okay.’
When I was a street vendor, I got into a lot of fist fights with other vendors. We even got into physical fights to get a good neck.
From that experience, no one can get up if they get hit squarely in the jaw like that.
But Sa-gong-hyeon, the unmanned one, was different. Sa-gong-hyeon, who had been punched, turned his face around once, then straightened his posture as if he was jumping back and glared at me. His eyes were red, perhaps because he had forced himself to open them.
I immediately threw my punch again, but this time Sakonghyun grabbed my wrist.
At that moment, the night sky appeared and a large blow was felt on the back of my head and back. Sa-gong-hyeon grabbed my arm and threw me as if he was throwing me.
“Cock!”
I hit the floor and groaned as if I was vomiting.
The strength of the warrior who had trained his body since childhood was incredible. He threw it without even using his internal energy, and it flew three zhang (丈).
Sa-gong-hyeon’s anger was not over. He was running back at me, who had been thrown away. His tightly clenched fists were filled with the desire to beat me.
They say that when a person is in danger, their body awakens. I felt like if I just lay still, I would end up with no safety at all, so I got up, bouncing my body.
And even though it was awkward, I took the stance of the Samjae Kwon method. I didn’t pay attention when Cheong-Hyeon explained it, but this was the only thing I could believe in right now.
“Fuck.”
I followed the path, relying on my hazy memories.
But suddenly, my feet moved much more flexibly than I expected. As far as I can remember, my feet never moved like this.
The fist came at me in a semicircular trajectory. I threw my body back without realizing it. The fist passed by, grazing the bridge of my nose.
Normally, if I had bent this much, I would have fallen backwards, but unlike my mind, my body did not lose its balance and regained its posture.
“This guy!”
Sa-gong-hyeon began to assume a different stance as if the medicine had taken effect. Judging from the stance he was in for the first time, it seemed like he was trying to use Ga-jeon-mu-gong instead of the Sam-jae-kwon-beop, which he was not yet accustomed to.
The storm of kicks came pouring down. We learned the Samjae Kwon method, not the Samjae Gak method. That was just as I expected, a martial art of the Gajeon martial arts.
He tried to hit my shins, shins, and nose with one kick. I avoided the kicks by moving my body from side to side.
As the movement progressed, the eyes also got used to Sa-gong-hyeon’s speed. No, since the eyeballs are also part of the body, is it natural for them to read the movement?
‘I can see the trajectory.’
Does that make sense? Like other children of the martial arts family, Sagonghyeon must have learned martial arts from the time he could walk.
It would be impossible to read the trajectory of such a person. I have experienced several fights in my past life, but this is the first time I have felt this way.
It was only then that I realized that the purchase I had made was a smart move.
‘What kind of harmony is this?’
Could it be that it would suddenly change just because of that one thing? I couldn’t believe it based on common sense. Of course, it didn’t make sense for money to suddenly disappear, either…
“profit!”
As I continued to dodge Sa-gong-hyeon’s attacks, even poison appeared in Sa-gong-hyeon’s eyes.
A faint blue light was swirling around Sakonghyun’s feet. Now he was using his internal energy as well.
bang!
When Sa-gong-hyeon’s heel hit the ground, dirt flew up and cracks appeared on the ground. His internal energy mixed with it, making him stronger and faster. I barely managed to avoid it by rolling over.
A handful of sand got into my clothes, but I didn’t care.
Sa-gong-hyeon immediately reached out to me with both his hands clenched.
“stop!”
I blinked and the back of a figure wearing a blue uniform appeared before my eyes. It was the Cheonghwa Jinin.
“You’re using your internal energy on someone who hasn’t learned martial arts. I couldn’t just stand by and watch this any longer.”
“They were the ones who committed the cowardly act first!”
Sa-gong-hyeon raised his voice in protest at the injustice. Right behind him, Cheong-hyeon shouted out loud.
“Where are you yelling at right now!”
Even if Cheong-Hyeon had the lowest martial arts in the distribution of the audience, that was only within the distribution of the audience. It felt like the inside of my body was shaking at Cheong-Hyeon’s high voice filled with his internal energy.
It must have been the same for Sa-gong-hyeon, as his body flinched.
“Priest, it’s okay. What this child said is not wrong. So I don’t intend to hold you responsible. However, it is taboo to use your internal energy on someone who has no internal energy. At first, when Hwiyoung threw sand, it was something that even a Sapa would do, but using your internal energy on someone who has no internal energy is something that even a Sapa would not do.”
Cheonghwa spoke in a stern voice. Now that I think about it, there was such an unwritten rule. Of course, there were some scoundrels who didn’t follow it, but those who showed off their martial arts skills to the common people were looked down upon.
Sa-gong-hyeon glared at me, gritting his teeth. The sand I had sprinkled was still stuck in his eyes. Judging from the way he glared at me as if he was going to kill me, even though his eyes were stinging, I could tell he really wanted to beat me up.
But what can I do? Right now, there is a person named Cheonghwa between me and Sa-gong-hyeon. I rolled my eyes and teased him.
“Silence.”
Cheonghwa suddenly turned to me. I immediately returned my dazed eyes to where they were.
“yes.”
“You have now failed to uphold the dignity that a shaman should have. It is impossible for a disciple of the shaman sect to throw sand at a shaman and perform the Naryeotagon (懶驢打滾).”
If I were to say I was going down, it seemed like I was talking about rolling on the ground. Of course, the political faction has a lot to consider. If your life is in danger right now, shouldn’t you roll on the ground to survive?
Of course, now wasn’t the time to say something like that, so I just hung my head.
“sorry.”
“I will think of a proper punishment for you. Just wait.”
“……all right.”
I bowed my head, pretending to reflect as much as possible.
If it’s a proper punishment, would you talk about expulsion? Probably so. There is no place that values face as much as Gupailbang. I hope a decision is made quickly.
Anyway, the fight was satisfying. I managed to land a punch on Sa-gong-hyeon’s chin, and I also achieved my goal of making him look bad to the shamans.
“Come in.”
I went in with Sa-gong-hyeon. Sa-gong-hyeon came close to me and began to hum to me in a voice that was full of life.
“I will kill you.”
There was an indescribable sense of resentment and anger in that voice. I burst out laughing because I was so happy by that clear emotion. Sa-gong-hyeon’s eyes became even more fierce.
When I looked back, Cheonghwa had a blank expression on her face, and Cheonghyeon was looking at me as if he was going to eat me.
***
As expected by Mok Hwi-yeong, Cheong-hwa had high expectations for Mok Hwi-yeong. He had received several lay disciples so far, but this was the first time he had done business with a disciple from the main temple.
I had high hopes that his cleverness might be put to good use in martial arts.
“That bastard needs to be kicked out immediately!”
Priest Cheong-Hyeon burst into anger.
“You put sand in a bag and spread it. Didn’t you prepare for that from the beginning?”
“Didn’t Sagonghyeon also use his internal energy?”
“You could consider it as something that came out of anger. Are you the same as someone who did it intentionally from the beginning?”
That’s right. Cheonghwa smiled bitterly.
In fact, the person who was most disappointed when the sand was scattered was none other than Cheonghwa. How could he have prepared such a cowardly move? I couldn’t even feel the slightest hint of incompetence in his pre-planned posture.
“Still, you should watch it at least once. Didn’t you see that child’s movements?”
“……under.”
Cheong-hyeon still seemed to be dissatisfied with Mukhwi-yeong, but he could not deny what Cheong-hwa had said.
Cheong-Hyeon and Cheong-Hwa are unmanned. At least you can tell just by looking at them whether the first child has trained in martial arts or not.
It must have been true that Mukhwiyoung had not learned even the first step of martial arts. In fact, he had no calluses on his hands at all, and his body was extremely soft.
However, the movements that Mukhwiyoung showed after throwing sand were surprising. They were quick movements that you would never expect from someone who had not learned martial arts.
If he had thrown a punch there, it would have been a perfect Samjae Kwon method. He had not learned any martial arts, but he was able to show movements that matched the Samjae Kwon method that he had been taught the day before yesterday. It was a talent that even Cheonghwa, who had a wealth of experience in martial arts, had never seen before.
“If you showed that movement without learning any martial arts at all, it would be an incredible feat.”
“I wonder if you at least learned the method of repentance.”
“Then we would have known.”
Cheong-Hyeon kept his mouth shut. It was clear that Mukhwi-Yeong had not learned any martial arts.
Even if Sakonghyun had ordinary martial arts skills, he was someone who had trained in martial arts for over ten years. It was significant that he was able to avoid the punches and kicks of such a person.
“Priest. Could you please include me in managing the lay disciples?”
“yes?”
“I guess it’s because I’m curious.”
Cheong-hyeon showed an embarrassed expression at Cheong-hwa’s gaze.
“It may be a bit embarrassing to say this, but two people seem to be too many for the job of taking care of the disciples. Your Majesty, don’t you often visit the martial arts world?”
“So I’ll just go and see you when I have time. I won’t really interfere with your work.”
“… … I will speak to the elder.”
“Good. As expected from a priest.”
“But didn’t you say that you would punish Muk Hwi-yeong?”
“Oh, right. What should I give you?”
Cheong-hyeon clicked his tongue. Cheong-hwa did not have the solemn face of a punisher, but rather a pleased face that seemed ready to reward.
