Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 129
The bait is best when shaken (1)
“I think the problem is that Confucius is too outstanding.”
My expression crumpled as I heard Seo Jae-pil’s words, who laughed as if it was absurd.
“What are you talking about?”
“Since everyone, regardless of age or gender, is looking for Confucius, it seems absurd to be suspicious of anyone who is interested in Confucius.”
A particularly jarring word pierced my ears.
“Where did you hear this story, that you are talking about people of all ages?”
“Hahaha. I heard from the instructors. Not only the instructors, but also the officials, regardless of gender, are very interested in Confucius.”
It didn’t even bother her that the female officers were interested in her. It bothered her more that the male officers were interested in her.
“… Don’t even mention such horrible things.”
It was because of some crazy guys that naturally came to mind.
I pictured those guys in the bodybuilding club flexing their muscles as they talked about themselves.
Swish, swish.
I felt like I was going to vomit without realizing it, so I quickly shook my head to get rid of the useless thoughts.
When I finally came to my senses, I saw Seo Jae-pil’s eyes watching me having a seizure on my own with interest.
“Whew. Anyway, the conclusion is that there aren’t any particularly suspicious instructors. It’s disappointing in many ways.”
I didn’t like the way he looked at the test subjects, so I scratched him a little, but it didn’t really have any effect.
“Hahaha. Originally, studying human psychology doesn’t produce results overnight, Confucius.”
As I was looking into that guy’s bright eyes, I had that thought.
‘No matter how much cursing and insulting I do here, that crazy guy would probably be happier if the research subject went wild.’
I could not help but imagine him being delighted at the new research topic.
‘Let’s get past that crazy guy for now, and then figure out how to catch his tail.’
I was thinking about it alone, but somehow it didn’t feel like I was thinking about it alone.
It wasn’t because of the presence of Representative Seo Jae-pil, who was smiling brightly in front.
– Hehehe. If you’re just going to act as bait anyway, why not try moving a little more seriously?
This was because my other self, who was obsessed with perfectionism, kept coming up with useful opinions.
What should I say? Rather than thinking alone, it felt like I was discussing with another self.
And thanks to that damn side effect, I was able to gather my thoughts quickly.
“How about this instead? Shaking those guys up.”
“In what way?”
“Didn’t Congressman Seo say that? All the instructors are interested in me. So, I’m throwing out bait. I’m the bait.”
“????”
He added to Seo Jae-pil’s expression, who still looked uncomprehending.
“I’m thinking of stirring up other clubs. I’m going to create an atmosphere where I want to move the enemy.”
Seo Jae-pil, who only then understood my intention after hearing my explanation, spoke with a surprised face.
“That’s a great idea, Confucius! There is a high possibility that there will be a change in the movements of Instructor Madouyoung that Confucius is suspicious of, and the other instructors will also have no choice but to take some action.”
I nodded at his words.
“In addition, as Rep. Seo conducts interviews with instructors, he will naturally have conversations about my movements. It will be easy to find people whose words do not match up or whose actions are contradictory.”
“As expected, you are Confucius. I think I understand why people of all ages and genders admire Confucius. Hahaha.”
“… … .”
It was clearly a compliment, but I couldn’t understand why I felt like I was being made fun of.
* * *
Since the country had decided to shake the bait anyway, it decided to move a little more blatantly.
“… Do you want to experience a theater club?”
Instructor Eun-ryeo looked at me with a suspicious expression, repeating exactly what I had said.
And the other instructors nearby were also looking at me and Instructor Eunryeo.
“Ichimoku Kwando. Haven’t you already joined a meditation club? You even opened one yourself.”
In response to Instructor Eun-ryeo’s remark, I responded with a steely face. It was as if I didn’t even feel the gazes of the instructors around me looking at us.
“I think it was a bit hasty to create a club without even looking into the existing clubs, Instructor.”
“So, now you want to try a different club?”
“Yes, Instructor.”
For some reason, Instructor Eun-ryeo’s face crumpled at my neat answer.
It was a rare sight.
The gentleman who always maintained a blank expression was sighing deeply.
‘Somehow, it feels similar to the day I was attacked by Chu Il-hwan last time.’
Come to think of it, I had completely forgotten about the subsequent attack by Chu Il-hwan. He came out of nowhere, gave me a strange lecture, and then left.
With a look of pity on her face, just like back then, Instructor Eun-ryeo spoke with a sigh.
“Really, you don’t have even an iota of sense of responsibility.”
I felt like I had heard something similar back then, but now was not the time to explain it.
Because I had to shake the bait.
“If I were to move the enemy from the meditation club, there would still be three people left, so it wouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
“You’re saying that now… .”
Instructor Eun-ryeo, who was about to ask something more, sighed deeply again and then returned to her usual cold face.
“Yes. Since you were at the headquarters when the club system was first introduced, you probably didn’t know much about other clubs. Since the case of Ichimoku Kwando is special, I’ll turn a blind eye to it this time.”
After receiving confirmation from Instructor Eunryeo, I leave the instructor’s office.
I felt the eyes of several instructors following me behind me.

That afternoon.
After quite some time, Ilmok headed to the familiar empty lot.
That empty space, once frequented only by Ilmok and Jeonghyeon, has now become a place similar to a theater club meeting room.
Baekcheon, who was now practically the owner of the place, greeted Ilmok with a very bright face.
“Hahaha. I believed you, Confucius!”
“What are you talking about?”
In response to the fat man’s question, for some reason this time Bang Mi-hwa stepped forward and laughed.
“You must be mischievous to ask me this. Ohohoho. I also believed that Confucius would naturally return to the drama club.”
“Hahahaha! If you are as great as Confucius, you deserve to receive people’s attention along with this hundred-year-old man!”
“Of course. I don’t know about anyone else. Confucius is definitely qualified to be my ‘partner’ in a play. Hohohoho.”
At the sight of the pair of crazy bastards laughing together, Ichimoku was already feeling dizzy.
‘Damn it. It hasn’t even been a minute since I got here?’
It was a time when the meditation club was uncomfortable because of Madouyoung’s troubles, but when I came here, I realized that the meditation club was really nice.
When Ichimoku felt dizzy and was considering running away, the person who saved him was surprisingly Instructor Eunryeo.
“Whew. Stop talking and start practicing. This is club time, not play time.”
Eunryeo also felt dizzy every time she came here.
“Also, since the officials are equal, let’s call them Ichimoku officials. How long do I have to point this out?”
As Eun-ryeo sorted out the situation, the expressions on Baek-cheon and Bang-mi-hwa’s faces, who had been chatting with Ilmok, changed.
I don’t know about anything else, but when it came to theater, the two of them were both really serious.
“Okay, as always, we’ll start with vocal exercises, Instructor.”
Since Baekcheon and Bang Mihwa were the ones leading the club time anyway, Eunryeo just nodded while stepping back.
Baekcheon and Bang Mihwa, who were fully immersed in practice, no, immersed in themselves while practicing, led the officials.
And Eunryeo watched the scene, glancing around furtively.
‘I’m sure there are impure intentions, but there’s nothing I can do.’
In her mind, Ichimoku was already branded a debaucher.
The reason Eunryeo accepted such a thing was simple.
Before she knew it, Instructor Eun-ryeo’s gaze had left Il-mok and turned towards Jeong-hyeon.
‘How did I end up liking such a troublemaker? Tsk.’
It was a sound of regret, not pity.
Perhaps because it was their first time together during a club activity, Jeong-Hyeon kept glancing at Il-Mok.
Sensing Jeong-hyeon’s gaze, Il-mok, who was leisurely practicing his voice, approached Jeong-hyeon.
Of course, as always, it was a sight to behold, stopping just a step away from work.
As the sun came up, Jeong-hyeon, startled, stuttered and spoke.
“Oh, it’s been a while, Confucius.”
“Weren’t you together during training time every day?”
“Hey, hey, in the empty lot, oh, it’s been a while…?”
“That’s true. Hahaha. Are you enjoying the club?”
I wanted to ask if it was fun to be with Baekcheon, but since Baekcheon was right next to me, I ended up expressing it indirectly.
Of course, Jeong-Hyeon wanted to answer no.
but.
‘Everyone is watching, how can you say ‘not so good’… .’
Because of her characteristic timidity, she was cautious and eventually had no choice but to lie.
“Well, it was fun.”
As Jeong-hyeon glanced at Baek-cheon and answered, Ilmok nodded, saying, “As expected.”
‘It seems like your feelings for Baekcheon haven’t changed.’
I felt like I was going through a really difficult time.
“Cheer up, Jeong Hyeon Gwan-do.”
“Go, thank you.”
When Jeong-Hyeon blushed at the cheering, Instructor Eun-Ryeo, who was watching her, let out a deep sigh.
With that sigh, Bang Mi-hwa approached Ilmok.
She was so engrossed in her acting that she belatedly noticed that Ilmok and Jeong-hyeon were chatting.
“Ichimoku Kwando! You must concentrate on your practice.”
As she said that, Bang Mi-hwa grabbed Il-mok’s attention, and Ha-young and Joo Seo-yeon also joined in, as if they were trying to take care of Il-mok, who was participating in the club for the first time.
Il-mok is surrounded by three women and receives intensive care, while Jeong-hyeon watches the four from a distance.
Eun-ryeo, who was watching the pitiful sight, sighed again.
As the days went by, it became more and more difficult for her to control her facial expressions.
But soon, Eun-ryeo returned to her characteristically cold expression.
It was because I felt the sound of someone approaching.
“What’s going on, Instructor Madouyoung?”
This was because Instructor Ma Do-young, who was in charge of the meditation club, suddenly came to the empty lot.
“Excuse me, Inspector. If it’s alright, may I have a brief interview with the Ichimoku Kwando?”
Eun-ryeo, who was not at all fond of the sight of Il-mok smiling while surrounded by women, readily accepted the request.
“One glance at the map!”
At Instructor Eun-ryeo’s call, Il-mok, who had escaped from the crowd of women, was soon able to find Madou-yeong.
“What’s going on, Instructor?”
At the question of whether he knew anything, Madouyoung’s forehead turned red, but he tried to keep a smile on his face as he spoke.
“Let’s go somewhere else first and talk.”
After saying that, Madouyoung suddenly turned around and left the empty lot, and Ilmok followed him.
However, Ichimoku stopped after chasing him for a few steps. He decided that it would be dangerous to go to a secluded place where there were no people. There was a high chance that the guy was a servant.
As the sound behind him stopped, Madouyoung also stopped walking and looked behind him.
“Ichimoku Kwando. What on earth are you trying to do?”
“What do you mean?”
“Whew. You asked me to take charge of the meditation club, so I agreed, but now I’m moving to a different club. Do you really think that makes sense?”
To Madouyoung’s question, Ichimoku answered with a look of incomprehension.
“I thought the instructor would want it too, so I tried to move the club.”
“… What kind of nonsense is that that I want?”
“During the training time and during the club time, didn’t you feel uncomfortable with me? I couldn’t dare ask the instructor to change the person in charge, so I, a mere official, was trying to change the enemy.”
“… … .”
Madouyoung was momentarily speechless.
It wasn’t because Ilmok’s words were logical.
‘That’s just because you’re lazy!!!’
It was because the blood rushed to my head and it was difficult to open my mouth. Plus.
‘Damn it!! If I try to hold on to him any longer, I risk arousing suspicion, just like the vice-chancellor said. However, if I just leave him alone, he’ll end up moving to another club.’
If that happens, the plan to closely monitor the situation and wait for an opportunity will all go awry.
In the end, it meant that the opportunity to make a contribution was in danger of disappearing.
A dilemma where you can neither stop it nor just let it go.
‘Should I kill him? Or should I just kill him? If I kill him, won’t I still have achieved something?’
Because all roads were blocked, Madouyoung kept thinking of a last resort.
* * *
one side.
The meditation club’s club room.
At this moment, both Ichimoku, who had drawn them into the meditation club, and Madouyoung, the instructor in charge of the meditation club, were absent.
“Phew.”
“Why on earth are we…?”
The sighs of the trio, filled with their complicated feelings, echoed one after another.
