Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 123
Club (1)
After moving for a while, ignoring Assemblyman Seo who was constantly talking, I was able to arrive at the Magic Hall without much difficulty.
Seo and I entered the magic hall through the main gate opened by the assistant and headed straight to the main hall.
“You came back faster than expected. It’s a good sign.”
“I’m not fully recovered yet, but I’m back for now to prepare for the upcoming exams.”
The governor nodded with a blunt face at my answer and turned his head to look at Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil.
“Are you the member of Jeongsimwon who will be providing counseling at the Magic Hall from now on?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. My name is Seo Jae-pil.”
“Yes. I have already given instructions to prepare the room where Representative Seo will stay. Also, please schedule the consultations for the instructors first.”
“I will make sure to do so.”
The magician nodded once at Rep. Seo’s answer and spoke in an unusually small voice.
“Have you heard from the magician about another reason why you brought Jeongsimwon to the magic hall?”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
“Please pay attention to that part during the consultation.”
Assisting in capturing any servants who may still be in the Magic Hall. That was Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil’s second mission.
‘It was the same when I was on drugs, and the things I talked about on the way here. It seems like all I think about is medicine.’
I didn’t have faith in Congressman Young Seo.
But, it is impossible to tell this story to the Magistrate while Assemblyman Seo is present.
‘I guess I’ll just have to wait and see for a while.’
While I was thinking those thoughts to myself, the Magic King was looking at me.
“Ilmoku Gwando, you should return to the Black Dragon Hall and rest. Assemblyman Seo will call his assistant and guide you to the main hall.”
Since I was already in the mood for a rest, I paid my respects to the magician with a lottery ticket and left the shrine.
But sadly, it was impossible to rest right in the Black Dragon Pavilion.
“One glance, Confucius!”
“Please stop for a moment!”
It was because about ten people rushed in and surrounded me.
To be precise, it was divided into two groups.
Five people, led by Baekcheon and Bang Mihwa, formed a group, and three people, including Dokgo-pae, Mak Ho-yeol, and Gwak Sul, formed another group and surrounded me.
‘Damn. You came back already?’
Seeing Baekcheon and Makhoyeol there, it seemed like the guys from the above group who had gone out for training about a month ago had already returned.
And the leaders of the two forces that had succeeded in surrounding me were laughing excitedly.
Baekcheon, with his clear eyes shining, opens his mouth wide and takes out his debt.
“Confucius! If it’s Confucius, I expect he’ll join our drama club!”
And it was Dokgo-pae who poured cold water on Baekcheon’s words and shouted.
“Huh. There’s no way that Ilmok Gongja would join such a worthless club! If Ilmok Gongja were me, then of course he would join our physical beauty club!”
It seems that the club system I mentioned earlier has already been implemented in the Magic Hall.
‘The drama club is one thing, but what about the bodybuilding club?’
Just hearing the name made me feel sick to my stomach. Maybe it was because I suffer from hygiene obsessions, but the name that smelled like sweat made me shiver for no reason.
As if my condition was not even a concern, Baekcheon and Dokgo-pae began arguing among themselves about my whereabouts.
“I wonder if anyone would say that you are from a family with no traditions, and that you don’t know anything about elegance.”
“That’s a typical thought from a humble family. All men should have a certain sense of dignity.”
Although they were both members of the same Five Great Demonic Clans, Dokgo Se-ga converted to the Demonic Cult several decades later than Baek-ga.
Of course, both sides were before the Demonic Cults were driven out of the Central Plains. So, they boasted a tradition of at least two hundred years, so in my opinion, it was a close match.
‘If we’re going to be that picky, the An family would be the most traditional.’
Among the five great magic families, the An family was the only one famous for sorcery and formations rather than martial arts, and it boasted the longest tradition.
I remembered hearing from Jin Ha-yeon that since the beginning of the Demonic Cult, the head of the An family has been assisting the leader of the cult every time they hold a ritual.
“Are you sure you want to see the end of it today?”
“Hehehe. They say a puppy doesn’t know how scary a tiger is, and that’s just like the dog Sega.”
While thinking about something else for a moment, Dokgo-pae and Baekcheon, who had forgotten their original purpose and were arguing repeatedly, finally drew their weapons.
I thought this was my chance and tried to sneak out.
“Calm down, Vice Chairman Dokgo! After all, isn’t the decision up to Ichimoku Kwando?”
Unfortunately, because of Kwak-sul’s intervention, everyone’s eyes were turned to me again.
It was a strange feeling. Everyone was looking at me, but the emotions in their eyes were subtly different.
People like Baekcheon, Bang Mihwa, Dokgo-pae, and Joo Seo-yeon all had clear eyes without a shred of doubt. Eyes filled with confidence that I would join their club.
I don’t know about the three from the drama club, but I couldn’t figure out why the Dokgo-pae, the bodybuilding club, had such confidence.
‘The name of the club is like that, the members are all like that, and the smell of sweat vibrates, so why me?’
On the other hand, for some reason, Gwak-sul’s eyes had a strangely antipathetic look in them.
I couldn’t figure out why he had such bad feelings toward me. I just thought I was seeing things wrong.
Other than that, it seemed like they wanted others to join their club. Like Ha-young and Mak-ho-yeol.
In particular, Jeong-Hyeon’s eyes, standing far away alone, were slightly wet.
‘Oh my… What happened that made you so desperate?’
It was a gaze that naturally made me feel sad.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t be going to either place.”
Originally, there was a separate club I wanted to join.
From the moment I first explained the club system to the Master and the Magician, I had thought about it in advance.
To be exact, it was a club that I had to create from now on.
* * *
“It’s impossible.”
At Instructor Eunryeo’s firm answer, a rare look of bewilderment appeared in Ichimoku’s eyes.
After Chu Il-hwan was dismissed, Eun-ryeo, who had been given recognition for her experience and was given the position of instructor for new recruits, answered with a cold expression on her face.
“There are two main reasons. It’s a matter of perspective.”
“I will listen carefully.”
“First of all, this instructor is already in charge of the drama club. Since it was your suggestion, you know very well, right? One instructor cannot be in charge of multiple clubs.”
“… Were you in charge of the drama club, teacher?”
At the obvious reaction that it didn’t match at all, Instructor Eun-ryeo unconsciously clenched her teeth.
‘Isn’t it because of you!!’
It would be natural if it were obvious, but Instructor Eun-ryeo had no interest in theater. Naturally, she had no knowledge of theater whatsoever.
Nevertheless, the reason she took charge of the drama club was because of Jeong-Hyeon.
To be exact, it was because of her pitiful appearance, left alone after Ilmok was transferred to the hospital due to Chuilhwan’s rampage, that Instructor Eunryeo’s heart was brutally assaulted.
Eun-ryeo, who could not bear to turn away from that sight, volunteered to be in charge of the drama club under the sway of side effects.
‘Yeah. Now that I’ve returned to Ichimoku, I’ll have to clean things up properly!’
This was Instructor Eunryeo’s true intention. Naturally, if Ilmok returned to the Magic Hall, it was expected that he would join the drama club.
But what the heck.
‘Why on earth did you create a new club!’
You brought in four innkeepers, so why are you suddenly doing this again?
‘Surely you’re saying you’re sick of it already!?’
Eunryeo also remembered hearing that story.
There are often people who no longer feel attracted to the opposite sex who has fallen for their temptation.
And in the world, men with such characteristics were called ‘debauchers’.
As a fellow woman, Instructor Eun-ryeo’s expression of contempt for such a man naturally became colder.
Of course, I had no idea what Instructor Eun-ryeo was thinking.
“If you do that, other than the instructor, everyone else….”
“Instructor Cheokilso is in charge of the physical beauty club, and Instructor Jeong Gyu-seok is in charge of the doctrine research club. I understand that the instructors above also already have their own clubs.”
Before the first question could even be answered, Instructor Eun-ryeo answered with a cold air radiating from her.
Instructor Cheokilso was the instructor in charge of external training, and Instructor Jeong Gyu-seok was the instructor in charge of doctrinal training.
In the case of the physical beauty club, Dokgo-pae and Makho-yeol originally had no intention of creating such a club.
The problem was that since the purpose of the club was to promote mental and physical stability, there was a rule that prohibited magic training during club activity hours.
When Dokgo-pae and Makho-yeol were furious at the fact and didn’t know what to do, the instructor at Cheokilso suggested to them that they form a club for physical training.
However, Gwak-sul was taken by Mak Ho-yeol and Dokgo-pae and forcibly joined.
In any case, both Instructor Cheokilso and Instructor Jeong Gyu-seok were in charge of clubs that suited them. Unlike Instructor Eunryeo.
Ilmok hesitated at the sight of Instructor Eunryeo’s attitude, which seemed colder than usual, and asked cautiously.
“Really, are there no instructors left?”
Eun-ryeo, who was about to answer yes, couldn’t help but hesitate.
After thinking about it carefully, it was because there was one person left.
No matter how much I don’t like the first glance, as an instructor I can’t discuss lies.
“Whew. The newly appointed instructor is not in charge of the club yet. However, a club can only be created if at least three people gather. And this is the second reason why new clubs cannot be created, as you can see.”
It was not a rule created to hinder the work. Since the number of instructors was considerably small compared to the number of officials, the creation of clubs for one or two people was prohibited.
At her suggestion, Ichimoku seemed to be thinking deeply about something, then nodded and asked a strange question.
“Can those who have already joined a club also transfer to another club?”
“… That’s true.”
In response to Eun-ryeo’s answer, Ilmok showed his respect with a lottery ticket and left the office.
Eun-ryeo, who was looking at the place where Ilmok had left, soon had an ominous thought.
‘… Surely you’re not planning on enticing other women to join you?’
* * *
After finishing his interview with Instructor Eunryeo, Ilmok ran straight towards the Black Dragon Hall.
And after thoroughly searching the Black Dragon Hall, he was able to find his targets.
“You were here!”
As Ilmok approached with a bright smile, the three idiots who were hanging out together as usual, Choi Woong, Seonghwan, and Moongyu, began to tremble with an inexplicable ominous feeling.
It could be called a learned fear.
“Wh, what is it, Confucius?”
“Were you looking for us?”
At Moon-gyu’s question, Ilmok smiled brightly and nodded.
“I came to you today to ask you a favor.”
He was smiling with his teeth showing, but for some reason his right hand was holding the hilt of a sword.
* * *
The next day.
The three men, Ilmok and Tteolgeoji, headed together to the instructor’s office.
However, it was not Instructor Eunryeo’s office.
The man who was newly elected as the instructor of the Magic Academy after Chu Il-hwan’s dismissal. Ma Do-yeong (馬桃榮) received the letter that Ilmok had handed him.
“Did you ask me to be the instructor in charge of the new club?”
“Yes, Instructor.”
At Ichimoku’s confident answer, he looked at the three people behind Ichimoku with an uneasy expression.
In contrast to their bright and cheerful appearance, the three of them had very timid faces.
Madouyoung, who didn’t know the reason, turned his head with a trembling expression and looked at the letter Ilmok had given him.
“… Meditation club?”
“Yes.”
To Madouyoung’s question, Ichimoku answered in a strong tone as expected.
A club that was conceived from the beginning to ensure a peaceful life in the Magic Academy.
It was a napping club called Meditation.
