Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 122
Reform (8)
“Isn’t everyone busy?”
Unable to let go of his foolishness, he spoke again, and the three brothers smiled gloomily and answered.
“What could we possibly be busy with? It looks like things will get really busy after the higher-ups’ meeting is over.”
“The Baekguidan I belong to is also temporarily suspended due to the leader attending a meeting, Your Majesty.”
A question naturally arose in response to Sam Sa-hyeong and Gu Yang-mun’s answers.
“If you say meeting, what kind of meeting do you mean?”
“Of course, isn’t that the meeting for reform that the priest Ichimoku came up with?”
“Yes. I heard that the higher-ups are constantly arguing over the issue of recruiting personnel, Confucius. Hahaha. You are truly amazing. Even within the Shinshu, there are those who are said to be the most powerful beings who are struggling for days to resolve one issue that Confucius brought up.”
My head started to hurt from the praise of Goyangmun.
‘So, you’re saying that the reason these guys come to me on this ridiculous day is because of something I did?’
Because I felt wronged in so many ways, I decided to change my mind.
‘Yeah. It’s not my fault. This place was a den of lunatics to begin with.’
When I was at the Magic Hall, I decided to reflect on myself for thinking that it would have been better to just be transferred.
I forgot an important fact.
If the Magic Hall is a ‘preliminary mental institution’, then the headquarters is already a hellhole teeming with genuine lunatics.
Just looking at those six death sentences, you can tell.
Once again, with a blank expression on his face, the six-year-old brother-in-law looked somewhere empty and shouted with a surprised expression.
“That’s the way!”
“…What do you mean?”
Six death sentences answered my question.
“As the priest must have known, I still don’t have a place to belong. However, since the ambassador is very busy right now, I think it would be better to help out there instead, the old man over there advised me.”
“????”
The place that the six sages pointed to while speaking was an empty wall.
I felt like I was going to get the chills again, but I quickly moved my mouth.
“That’s a really great idea, Brother. If the Brothers work together, I’m sure both Master and the Grand Master will be happy. Hahaha.”
Now was the chance.
A chance to kick that patient out and send him to the ambassador.
Of course, looking at the symptoms of the death penalty, I wondered if he would be able to handle the job properly.
‘It’s not my job.’
If you thought of it as a petty revenge against the ambassador who had used me as a knowledge puppet, that would be the end of it.
“They say you have to strike the iron while it’s hot (趁热打铁), so how about going to see the big boss right now and telling him, Brother Yuk?”
“The priest’s words seem to be correct.”
The six-year-old man nodded, muttered something to the air, then got up and left the room.
Perhaps it was because the sixth brother left first. The third brother also left the hospital soon after.
“Now that Prince Sam has passed away, how about you also slowly return home?”
“Am I okay?”
“I feel uncomfortable.”
“… … .”
Following Jin Ha-yeon’s order to leave, Guyangmun also left immediately.
Since I finally had some free time, I decided to take a moment to lie down and rest.
I muttered to myself as a question suddenly occurred to me.
“That’s amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s already been more than ten days since I came to the hospital, but Seon-ah hasn’t come yet? The others come every other day.”
I hadn’t thought about it because I was suffering from the teacher and then the elder brother, but I felt strangely resentful.
‘They say children grow up quickly. Is this what a goose father feels like?’
I thought you had already lost interest after not seeing me for only half a year.
But it seems that it was a misunderstanding.
“If it’s Miss Seon-ah… it seems like Hyukryun Se-ga is controlling the information.”
“What does that mean?”
“I’ve heard rumors that Miss Seon-ah’s achievements are improving day by day. Perhaps, she’s blocking out outside information so as not to interfere with Miss Seon-ah’s training.”
“Hmm… .”
I thought that if it was that kind of training, it would still be there.
However, I didn’t really want to go to Hyukryun Se-ga and ask him about it. I was in poor health and had been tormented by crazy guys, so I just wanted to rest.
‘I guess we’ll meet after we graduate from the Magic Academy.’
When Seon-ah finds out that I was at the headquarters, I don’t know how she’ll react.
* * *
Nearly twenty days have passed since he was brought to the hospital.
At first, my whole body would ache even with the slightest movement, but now I have recovered to the point where I can barely feel any pain.
So, I boldly asked the doctor to discharge me.
“I think it’s time to slowly go back to the magic hall.”
“Hmm. I think it would be okay to rest for a few more days.”
“It looks like the exam will be held at the Magic Hall soon, Elder Demon. Even so, shouldn’t we participate in the exam?”
“Hahaha. If that’s the reason, then there’s nothing I can do.”
When he made excuses to be a model student, Ma-ui also gladly accepted.
Of course, the real reason was that I was just tired of being harassed by crazy guys.
But I didn’t leave the hospital right away.
“Your Majesty. How much of the disinfectant alcohol have you made that I mentioned last time?”
“It’s not a large quantity yet, but we are establishing a production system using the distillation technique as the owner said.”
“If so, could you please give me just one bottle?”
“Is this for washing your hands, like I said last time?”
“Yes.”
As I nodded with an earnest expression, the demon who seemed to be thinking for a moment got up.
“It’s a disinfectant made thanks to the help of the owner, so I should gladly give it to you.”
After saying that, the doctor muttered to himself as he left the hospital.
“It’s not enough for drinking or for medical purposes. Ugh.”
“… … .”
It seemed like he was really wasting his alcohol, but he tried to pretend not to hear it.
The magician who went out to get hand sanitizer didn’t come back for a while.
‘How much of a waste of disinfectant does this guy have?’
As such thoughts filled my head, the long-awaited magician finally returned.
In one hand he was holding what appeared to be a bottle of alcohol, and at his side was a young congressman.
“I’m sorry I’m late. Hehe. Since you’re already returning to the Magic Hall, I brought the councilor I mentioned last time, so I’m late.”
After thinking about what he meant for a moment, I was able to recall what he had said last time.
“Are you talking about the member of the Jeongsimwon dispatched to the Magic Hall?”
“That’s right. I thought for a long time about who to send, but this guy volunteered very actively. Hahaha.”
“Please take good care of me, Lord Buwon!”
The young man who bowed his upper body and showed respect while receiving the lottery ticket was a guy I was quite familiar with.
‘That guy from back then? That crazy guy who suggested using drugs as a psychiatric medication.’
As I was talking about that crazy talk, I naturally remembered that I only used drugs for anesthesia.
Was that young congressman’s name Seo Jae-pil?
“Ahem. I have already stepped down from my position as Vice-Chairman, Assemblyman Seo. Even then, it was only temporary. Now, I am just a mere official of the Magic Hall.”
“How can I call Confucius, who gave me countless medical inspirations, a mere official?”
“That’s what you should call it in the Magic Hall.”
“In public settings, I will refer to you as ‘Guan Du’, but when we meet privately, I will refer to you as ‘Confucius’.”
It seemed difficult to say anything further, so I decided to just accept it.
“Do whatever you want.”
When it was finally decided to return to the magic hall with the young crazy congressman, Jin Ha-yeon opened her mouth.
“If you do, I will report to Heavenly Demon.”
Jin Ha-yeon left the hospital to tell her teacher the news of her return.
And after a whole hour had passed, she returned with her master.
“We’re a little late because of the leadership meeting. If we get any later, the sun will set on the mountain, so I’ll head back to the Magic Hall.”
Perhaps he had only come to see my face, but the Master gave a brief greeting and quickly left.
“How are you, Miss Jin?”
“I will see you again after you finish your training at the Magic Academy, Your Majesty.”
After saying a brief farewell to Jin Ha-yeon, I headed to the Magic Hall with Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil and several unmanned personnel who were in charge of escorting and guiding us.
Congressman Seo continued to talk nonstop, seemingly oblivious to the people around him.
“I heard the story from the Lord. The Storm and Stress period. It was a truly interesting theory, Confucius. In fact, I applied to the Magic Academy to study that part.”
“This time, we are studying the condition of children who learned magic from a young age at the Magic Academy, and later comparing it with children who entered the Magic Academy later in life to see if the children at that time were truly mentally unstable.”
Since it was a story I had no interest in, I just listened to it with one ear and let it go out the other.
‘Is this guy crazy about medicine? Wherever I go, there are only crazy people.’
He shook his head repeatedly, opened the bottle the magician had given him, and poured the alcohol into his hand.
‘Ahhh.’
The refreshing feeling of the disinfectant spray flying through my hands soothed my heart.
* * *
When Ichimoku was returning to the Magic Hall.
A corner of Hyukryun Se-ga.
Crunch!
As Hyukryun Seon-ah swung her arms, the wooden dolls that touched her fingertips were cut down one after another.
It was a strange sight. I had only touched it with my hand, but the cut surface was extremely sharp.
Although she had not yet developed a claw, the tips of her fingernails were already turning red, and her eyes were also brimming with red energy.
Now, she had an ominous aura for a girl who was only thirteen years old.
“Phew.”
After finishing her day’s training, she let out a faint sigh and raised her head.
‘I have to go see my brother.’
The older brother she thought of was a doll that was sealed away in a corner of her room.
A doll that is kept so carefully that no one dares approach or touch it.
One of her daily routines was to cleanse her body and mind through a bath before meeting her brother, lest she get even a single drop of sweat on her.
The path from the training ground to the bathhouse.
“Did you hear that story? I heard that the entrance period to the Magic Hall will be delayed in a few years.”
“Is that so? Isn’t that why a ban on practicing magic was issued?”
Beyond the wall, the sound of Sega’s drones chatting could be heard.
‘A ban on magic training?’
The ordinance sounded strange and completely out of place in the Cheonmasin Church, but she soon tried to draw attention to it.
Because it wasn’t her interest.
“Who would have thought that a few words uttered by the youngest Confucius would bring about such a big change?”
But the expression ‘youngest prince’ that she heard next stopped her in her tracks.
‘As expected, my brother always accomplishes great things.’
It was something she had no interest in until just a moment ago, but she suddenly started to think it was a great deal.
But that was only for a moment. Soon, a question occurred to her mind.
To solve that question, she willingly performed lightness and jumped over the wall.
“Meet Miss Seon-ah.”
As she appeared over the wall, the two unmanned people who had been talking to her took their tickets and saluted her.
But she, not interested in the examples of those two, questioned them interrogatively.
“Because of what Brother Ichimoku said, some new laws were passed down?”
“Yes, Miss.”
The two warriors reacted as if it was nothing special since it had happened several times before, but they froze for a moment when Hyukryun Seon-ah asked them the following question.
“How strange. My brother is ‘trapped’ in the Magic Hall, so how can his words bring about changes in the headquarters?”
“… I heard that the Magic Academy sent a letter to the Heavenly Demon through the instructor.”
“That’s right. That letter caused a huge uproar all of a sudden. Hahaha.”
They quickly made up excuses, but nothing worked.
Hyukryun Seon-ah didn’t miss the moment they paused, and her intuition was screaming at her that they were deceiving her.
“If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll stab you in the neck.”
The two warriors had no choice but to panic and tell the truth when they saw her suddenly raising her claws and aiming for his neck.
Knowing her side effects, she would really risk her life if it involved the youngest prince.
‘… What will happen if the Lord finds out about this?’
‘This seems to be getting more and more dangerous.’
The two unmanned people thought of the father of Hyukryun Se-ga, the head of the Hyukryun family, who was in the closed room.
Because he was so poor that he didn’t practice every day and only cared about his daughter, he was forced to practice in a closed school by his master, Hyukryeon Cheon-gang, and more than two years had passed since then.
After hearing both of the drones’ explanations, Hyukryun Seon-ah muttered with her eyes glowing red.
“The name of the person who hurt your brother was Chu Il-hwan?”
When she turned her head, her gaze was directed towards the direction where Jeongsimwon was located.
* * *
One of the halls of Jeongsimwon.
There, Chu Il-hwan was continuing his consultation with Rep. Jeong Sim-won.
“When do you think the side effects of the Black Lightning are the most severe?”
“Hmm… It gets the worst when I meet someone who looks interesting. I keep thinking about how much fun it would be to see that person’s blood or kill them.”
In addition to the excuse of “to control the side effects of the Black Lightning Horse,” if Chu Il-hwan was a lackey, it was a consultation to catch his tail.
Let’s have a brief Q&A with Chu Il-hwan.
“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Chu Il-hwan shivered from the sudden chills.
