Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 125

Club (3)

In the evening after the exams were over, in one of the halls of the Magic Hall.

In accordance with the Ichimoku Magaido Reform Plan, Ichimoku and Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil were conducting an interview at the place that came to be called the [Medical Office].

“You say the magic went berserk?”

In response to Rep. Seo Jae-pil’s question, Ilmok nodded with a sheepish expression.

‘Somehow, you look happy?’

Some people were so serious that they thought they were going to die, while others looked at them as if they were lab rats.

“Can you tell me more about it?”

In the midst of this awkwardness, Ilmok let out a sigh at Representative Seo Jae-pil’s question.

‘Even if the member of parliament changes later, there’s nothing we can do for now.’

Since there was no substitute at the moment, Ichimoku gave up and opened his mouth.

The incident where Dokgo-pae, Kwak-sul, Choi Woong, Seonghwan, and Moon-gyu were attacked by five people.

And right after the dirt and dust splashed on his body and clothes, he went berserk.

“Thanks to the fact that we managed to suppress the magic at the end, a major accident did not occur.”

It was really dangerous.

In order to draw the ‘perfect sword’, Talhonmujeonggeom willingly swung his sword aiming for the five people’s brains, hearts, and blood.

Thanks to regaining control of his body at the last moment, he was barely able to twist the sword and strike him with the blade.

“Indeed… It seems that you received disinfectant from the Elder of Demonic Cultivation to wash your hands. In addition to your obsession with perfect swordsmanship, your highness also seems to suffer from a strong obsession with hygiene.”

Despite his eyes that looked like a lab rat, Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil responded to the consultation with sincerity and worked hard with his hands. In order to record all the contents of the consultation with Ilmok.

In addition to that.

“It is not a completely similar side effect to that of Confucius Ilmok, but in the case of patients who had previous consultations, there was a report that they gradually became more adept at managing the side effects by exposing themselves to situations they disliked little by little.”

He even told me exactly what his treatment plan would be.

“Would you please extend your left hand forward for a moment?”

When Ilmok stretched out his hand at the direction of Representative Seo Jae-pil, Representative Seo dipped his brush in ink and dropped a drop of ink on the back of his hand.

“!!!”

When Ilmok looked at Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil in surprise, he asked with a relaxed expression.

“Are you still in a state where you feel like you’re going to start a rampage?”

“… I want to wash it off right now, but I’m not at a point where I can lose my mind.”

“If you do that, try to hold out just until you reach the ten-year mark today.”

At his direction, Ichimoku tried to turn his head away from the ink on his hands, gritted his teeth, and suppressed his compulsive symptoms.

“Eight. Nine. Ten.”

And then, as soon as Rep. Seo Jae-pil counted to ten, he quickly got up, poured water on his hands to wash them, and even added alcohol to finish disinfecting them.

“Well done. This tea has been proven to have a calming effect on the mind and body. For now, please drink a little of this tea.”

“Phew.”

Ilmok took a deep breath, took a sip of the tea that Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil offered, and took several deep breaths. In order to calm down the demon who was trying to raise his head.

As Ichimoku’s breathing seemed to have stabilized a little, Rep. Seo opened his mouth again.

“When did the side effects become serious?”

The consultation continued for a while.

‘… Still, this is what a member of parliament is.’

I didn’t trust him because he was a person who was only crazy about medicine, but on the contrary, I felt like he was a trustworthy person when it came to medicine and counseling.

The treatment I had earlier wasn’t yet fully effective, but at least talking about the side effects made me feel a little less stressed.

‘As expected, the Magic Hall needed a councilor.’

The first glance itself could be considered proof of that.

Because the side effects became serious due to the steep rise in achievements within half a year after entering the Magic Hall.

If I had been able to go back and forth to Jeongsimwon like I did when I was at the headquarters, I don’t think I would have gotten to this point.

Even now, aside from his medical skills, I still have a hard time trusting Assemblyman Seo.

While Ilmok was looking at Seo Jae-pil with a subtle gaze, he organized everything he had discussed with Ilmok, raised his head, and looked at Ilmok again.

“By the way, I happened to hear that you founded a meditation club. Judging from Confucius’s symptoms, it seems like it would be a great help in managing side effects. But, is that okay?”

It was a bit of a random question, but Ichimoku was able to figure out its intention without difficulty.

“What did the instructor in charge say?”

“Yes. According to what I heard from Elder Ma, the newly elected instructor is likely connected to the forces targeting Confucius.”

Ilmok nodded at Seo Jae-pil’s comment.

It was a problem he knew about.

“There were two main reasons. One was, as Rep. Seo said, to control side effects.”

It was a scene where I thought it might be okay to reveal half of my true feelings to Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil, even if it was not to others.

If I were to reveal my true feelings to those pseudo-old farts steeped in magic, I would surely hear crazy things like I have weak willpower or a lack of faith, but Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil was out of the question.

Of course, my true feelings were a little different.

‘Even if there were no side effects, a meditation club is still a meditation club.’

Aside from the side effects, my favorite thing to do was to just rest and do nothing.

“And the second reason was that I wanted to be the bait myself. As the old saying goes, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

“… … .”

At Ilmok’s words, Rep. Seo Jae-pil made a surprised expression.

‘Is this such a surprise? Could it be that… I, as a test subject, am in danger?’

Although some thought that Seo Jae-pil was a mad scientist, the words that came out of Seo Jae-pil’s mouth were a little different from what he expected.

“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Wasn’t there an old saying like that? You know something I’ve never heard before. You really are very knowledgeable.”

“… Ahem. Oh, where did you hear that story?”

Ichimoku, who had been coughing in vain, tried hard to control his facial expression.

‘Damn. Wasn’t that an oriental proverb?’

I almost aroused strange suspicions and looked like a crazy person.

While Ilmok was thinking that he should be more careful with his words from now on, Assemblyman Seo Jae-pil quickly returned with a worried expression and said.

“I understand your intentions, Confucius, but isn’t it dangerous?”

“Considering what has happened so far, I don’t think they will be able to move easily. After all, they are moving in a way that leaves behind as little evidence as possible.”

“Are you saying that in a situation where suspicion may arise, you would not target the Master?”

“Yes. If something unfortunate happens to me during the club activities, the instructor in charge will be the most suspicious, right? I’ve also secured three witnesses, so I should be safe.”

Of course, the three witnesses were the trio Choi Woong, Seonghwan, and Moongyu.

Although some of them were brought in to fill the staff needed to establish the club, Ichimoku would have brought in those three even if he could have started it on his own.

“It’s fortunate that you thought about it and made a move. However, if they can’t come up with a number, there is a risk that they will gamble.”

“…I know.”

“And yet you volunteered to be such a dangerous bait?”

“Phew.”

Ilmok sighed.

Given my inherent safety-oriented nature, I could never choose to play this role as bait.

“This is also because of this guy.”

As he said this, Ichimoku pointed to his head with his right index finger.

There might be people inside the Magic Hall who are trying to kill you.

As I returned to the Magic Hall, that thought kept lingering in my head. I was so anxious that I had a hard time doing anything properly.

So, after much discussion and hard work, the solution we came up with turned out to be a bait.

You can’t prepare for misfortune that may strike at any time, but if you keep a close eye on anyone you suspect to be an enemy, you may be able to cope with it to some extent.

When Ilmok pointed to his head and called him ‘this guy’, Seo Jae-pil’s eyes lit up and he picked up his brush again.

“Could you explain it to me in detail? As expected, Confucius is a great test subject. No, he is the one who gives me medical inspiration.”

“… … .”

At first glance, I was convinced.

‘This kid. It’s not that I’m worried, it’s just that I’m sad that the experimental samples are disappearing.’

* * *

While Ilmok was spending a lot of time in the infirmary.

In the adjutant’s office of the Magic Academy, an interview with the new instructor, Madou Young, was in progress.

For the martial arts training that Vice-Minister Yu Geuk had been conducting on behalf of Chu Il-hwan for about twenty days, and for the handover of the classes that Madouyeong would be teaching in the future.

Under the pretext of this, they were having a candid conversation.

“Reflect for a while?”

“That was His will. Because with successive failures, there is a danger of being caught by the Master of the Ten Thousand Horses.”

Yu-geuk frowned at the answer from the new instructor, Madouyoung.

“Does that mean we should just leave him alone until he safely completes his training in the Magic Academy?”

At Yu-geuk’s question, Madou-young made a subtle expression.

“It would be a mistake to misinterpret His will. What He meant by “restraint for a while” is literal. At least, it means to wait until the watchful eye of the Supreme Being is lessened.”

“There is only one and a half years left until the end of Confucius’s training period. What if the surveillance continues to be strict until then?”

“I guess there’s nothing we can do about it then.”

At Ma Do-young’s response as if it was nothing, the corner of Yu-geuk’s mouth went up on one side.

“If that’s the case, neither you nor I will have any success. Now that we’re stuck in this boring place called the Magic Hall, don’t you think it’s wrong for you to go up too?”

In response to Yu-geuk’s remark, Madou-young smiled faintly and replied.

“Now that I have entered the Magic Hall, it is impossible for me to communicate with him further as the Supreme Being is under strict surveillance. And in a wartime situation, if communication with the superiors is impossible or in an emergency, isn’t it basic among the basics to report after taking action?”

As if the play was interesting, this time the corners of both lips rose slightly.

“This is a candidate for preemptive action.”

“Wasn’t the act of expelling Instructor Chu something that was done without reporting?”

Yu-geuk nodded coolly, as if he had no intention of denying it with useless wordplay.

“So, do you have any ideas?”

“Nothing right now, but one thing is certain. We must seize the opportunity that will leave no evidence behind. In that sense, I am in a pretty advantageous position, Your Majesty.”

“… Are you saying that you became the instructor in charge of the youngest Confucius’s club?”

“Yes.”

To Madouyoung’s confident answer, Yu-geuk nodded and answered.

“Okay. Take a good look and find an opportunity.”

The next day.

As is always the case after the exam, after all the interviews and training sessions with the instructors have been completed.

Instead of going to the empty lot he had always gone to before, Ilmok headed towards a certain hall.

With the trio of Choi Woong, Seonghwan, and Moongyu.

The place we headed with those with faces like they were being dragged to the slaughterhouse was the club room.

“Please take care of me, Instructor!”

Unlike the trio, Ilmok greeted the instructor with a happy face and sat down in his seat and closed his eyes.

“Swish. Hooosh.”

As Ilmok took deep breaths and exhaled repeatedly, the trio, who had been showing an indifferent attitude, soon followed Ilmok and sat down to meditate.

Madouyoung almost burst out laughing at the sight of Ichimoku just closing his eyes and sipping his drink without even taking a breath.

‘You’re so defenseless.’

It was pitiful to see those who kept failing to kill this defenseless guy.

‘If only I could just wave my hand and end it now.’

A thought naturally crossed my mind that it would be a shame if only those ragtag guys weren’t with me.

If it weren’t for the condition that no evidence could be left behind, this would have been a mission that could have been completed immediately.

‘Kill me? Stop it?’

Seeing the defenseless prey right in front of him, Madouyoung’s desire to kill grew stronger.

In the meantime.

“Drrrrr. Cry.”

At the sight of Ichimoku starting to doze off to the point of snoring, the veins on Madouyoung’s forehead began to redden.

‘Damn it! Right now, I could kill him just by waving my fingers!!’

As I continued to watch the defenseless prey, I felt like I was going to get possessed.

one side.

‘Sval.’

‘Why was I dragged to a place like this?’

‘Please be mindful, Ichimoku Confucius!!’

The three men’s mouths went dry at the sight of the instructor glaring at them with a bloodshot face and a frown on his forehead.
