Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 139
scary man (1)
I asked Chu Il-hwan, who had a pitiful face that didn’t match his appearance.
“… You seem to be suffering quite a bit?”
Instead of answering verbally, Chu Il-hwan simply sighed deeply with a weary expression.
‘What on earth have you done, kid?’
It was truly amazing to drive that crazy instructor to such extremes.
‘Wait… I’m not suffering either, am I?’
I also didn’t bother to send a message to Hyukryun Se-ga because I wanted to rest and relax in the hospital.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling that I would be harassed by a brat after graduating from the Magic Academy, so I quickly came up with a plan.
‘I have to lie that Hyukryunsega blocked my contact.’
Yes. In the first place, it was Hyukryun Se-ga who hid the fact that I had come to the headquarters. They could have taken care of the aftermath as well.
As I thought back on the time after I graduated from the Magic Academy, I was able to naturally find contradictions.
“But anyway, the only time you’ll see Seon-ah again is when she enters the Magic Academy, right?”
Anyway, the instructors of the Magic Academy were almost always confined to the Magic Academy, except in special cases.
Wasn’t that guy Yoo-geuk’s betrayal also due to his desire for advancement exploding amidst the stifling life at the Magic Academy?
But Chu Il-hwan sighed and answered my question.
“I’m asking you to do this because I’m worried about that child entering the Magic Hall. Ichimoku Hall.”
“… Is there any reason for the instructor to fear the official route?”
Even I, a disciple of Cheonma, who is no different from a god in the Cheonma Sect, couldn’t stand being harassed by that person, Chu Il-hwan.
But are you afraid of Seon-ah entering the government office?
And to my question, Chu Il-hwan answered with an awkward smile.
“I’m afraid that if I keep being tormented by that child, the devil will come and kill that child.”
“… … .”
Whether I made a dumbfounded expression or not, Chu Il-hwan added an excuse.
“Ahem. This incident helped me overcome a wall. I suffered from both possession and mind demons, and thanks to the mind control I gained at Jeongsimwon. However, I don’t think I can endure that kid’s troubles to the end. Ahem. Anyway, that’s how it is. So please stop the kid. I don’t want to kill him.”
I thought it was some kind of new threat.
If you want to save that child, stop him from tormenting you.
But what is even more absurd than that is…
“Didn’t you always threaten me with murder at the drop of a hat?”
The thing is, even though I was a disciple of Cheonma, the human who tried to kill me was afraid of killing Seon-ah.
“I attacked you because I fell into a trap.”
“… I remember it happening often at other times as well, besides that day?”
Those goosebumps that were mistaken for homosexuality and considered a threat to chastity. If all of those were threats to life, the number would easily be in the double digits.
When asked a question, Chu Il-hwan answered confidently.
“Hahaha. What I did to you was just a joke. It was something I could easily tolerate. But I think I would harbor real murderous intentions toward that child.”
“… … .”
The word crazy was on the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t dare say it.
I just felt like I had to grant Chu Il-hwan’s request.
It wasn’t for Chu Il-hwan.
‘Seon-ah. Support.’
Originally, people avoided poop because it was dirty, not because they were scared of it.
* * *
Despite the fact that Chu Il-hwan is crazy, for some reason he never interrupted my meditation.
‘Tsk. I feel so uneasy that I can’t sleep.’
It’s just that I was anxious and had a hard time sleeping.
I was living in Jeongsimwon and claimed that I had broken down the wall and overcome the side effects to some extent, but when I was attacked and almost killed, I couldn’t believe it.
Still, it was definitely more comfortable than when Madouyoung was the instructor in charge.
Not only did he not keep picking fights,
“Whoaaah.”
Even during martial arts training, he didn’t seem to care at all when I yawned and fumbled with my sword.
I don’t know why the three people who were standing guard around me were trembling.
I hope to spend a few days like that in moderate peace.
Today, from early in the morning, all the officers of the same class, regardless of whether they were in the first or second class, gathered together in the training ground.
And then, Chu Il-hwan, with an unexpectedly solemn expression on his face, stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.
“You all probably know that there was a test scheduled for today. Originally, there was a separate test scheduled for today, but due to an urgent change, today’s test will be replaced with a non-scheduled test.”
I think I have a rough idea of what the situation is.
‘Since something like that happened, you probably won’t be able to prepare for the exam for a while.’
From the instructors’ perspective, it must have been overwhelming just to clean up after the exam, let alone prepare for it.
And as soon as Chu Il-hwan finished explaining, Dokgo-pae raised his hand.
“Do we get to choose our opponents for the fight? And do we only get one chance to fight?”
The gaze of the person asking the question soon turned to me.
‘Tsk.’
Perhaps because of the promise not to rush in except during tests or when instructed by the instructor, he was determined to release all the resistance he had endured on this occasion.
That happy face was so creepy in so many ways that I quickly turned my head away.
“hmm?”
And only later did I realize that there was a face I had never seen before among the instructors.
She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties, a little younger than Instructor Eunryeo.
* * *
The woman who took over the position of instructor in charge of doctrine education in place of instructor Jeong Gyu-seok. Xiao Hong.
As she glanced over the people gathered in the training hall, she spotted one person and her eyes lit up.
‘That official is the youngest prince I’ve only heard of through word of mouth.’
It wasn’t just because of rumors going around that I became interested in Ilmok.
She recalled what had happened two days ago.
The incident where the person who believed in and followed him after Cheonma, the master of Cheonma Shinkyo, called him.
* * *
“I meet the Lord of the Courts.”
“Welcome, Lieutenant Colonel.”
The guardian deity, who usually showed a stern expression as befitting a person who enforces the laws of the Cheonmasingyo, greeted her with an unusually bright face that day.
“I have a personal order for you, so I have called you here.”
“If it is your command, I will sacrifice my life to carry it out, no matter what it is.”
At Sohong’s words, the guardian deity smiled brightly and said.
“Hehehe, my heart feels much better now that you say it. Then, you should prepare yourself starting today and head to the Magic Hall tomorrow.”
At those words, So-hong almost flinched without realizing it.
“…When you say the Magic Academy, do you mean that I will become an instructor there?”
“Hahaha. You got it right. You’re so quick-witted. I guess I can put my worries to rest.”
Unlike the satisfied guardian deity, So-hong felt disheartened.
This level of reasoning wasn’t particularly difficult.
The rumor that there was a vacancy in the position of instructor at the Magic Academy had already spread far and wide.
The problem was the fact that he was being sent to the Magic Academy as an instructor.
‘I never thought I’d be kicked out like this… .’
The past of working in the court and being loyal to the court’s owner for over a decade felt like a waste.
Perhaps he had noticed her misunderstanding. Only then did the court clerk say the most important thing.
“You have been transferred to the Magic Academy as an instructor, and there is something you absolutely must accomplish.”
“…What is it?”
Sohong asked that and let out a sigh of relief.
There was a separate mission that had to be carried out. That meant that he was not being sent to the Magic Hall to have himself kicked out of the court.
And instead of discussing the mission, the guardian angel suddenly said something out of the blue.
“You. Have you heard the rumor about Prince Pal?”
“Is there anyone among those who belong to the new religion who has not heard of the rumors about the Eight Princes?”
“Hehehe. Then what do you think of the eight princes?”
She hesitated for a moment at the guardian’s question, then answered.
“I thought the rumors I was hearing were exaggerated. If they were true, I think he would be one of the few geniuses in the history of the Shinto religion.”
“Based on what I could find, most of the rumors were true.”
“… … .”
While So-hong was speechless for a moment in surprise, the guardian deity suddenly blurted out something again.
“Hani, think about it. What would happen if that eight-year-old Confucius came to our court after graduating from the Magic Academy?”
“It seems that he will bring about various changes in the court and produce countless achievements that will please the Heavenly Demon.”
The court judge nodded and added.
“You may have heard rumors, but the Master of Manma referred to the eighth son as ‘the child who will brighten the future of the new religion.’ Up until now, there were seven disciples before the eighth son, but the Supreme Being has never used such an expression. Do you understand what this means?”
“… If the eight princes enter the court of protection, it is likely that the attention and affection of the Supreme Being will be directed to the court of protection.”
“You got it right. Hahaha. Right now, only Grand Duke Nana has noticed this, but I think others will soon notice it too. That’s why I’m sending you to the Magic Hall.”
Only then did Sohong fully understand what her mission was.
‘As expected, you are the Lord of Wonju. If Prince Pal approaches after graduating from the Magic Academy, there will be many competitors and variables will arise. In order to prevent this in advance, the Magic Academy is trying to recruit you in advance.’
And the person in charge of that inclusion was none other than himself.
As she began to realize the importance of her mission, the guardian deity spoke to her as if to soothe her.
“You don’t have to worry about moving the enemy to the Magic Hall. If you lead the eight princes to the guardian court, wouldn’t my chances of rising to a higher position also increase? If I rise to a higher position, I will definitely lead you.”
“!!!”
Sohong’s eyes lit up for a moment. It was because she had figured out the intentions of the guardian deity.
‘A higher position than the guardian deity! The Lord must be aiming for the next position of the cult leader!’
If the guardian deity becomes the next great leader by bringing in the eight Confuciuses, then the person who brought in the eight Confuciuses will also receive a great reward.
“I will make sure to complete the mission, even if it costs me my life!”
As she cried out with a prostration, the guardian deity spoke with a satisfied expression.
“Hahaha. I’ll trust you. This is something only you can do.”
While So-hong was moved by the infinite trust of the guardian deity, the guardian deity blurted out something ridiculous.
“That’s why I had to send you here so hastily. The preliminary work to get you selected as an instructor was a problem, but it took more time to obtain very important information.”
“Is this very important information?”
“That’s right.”
The court guardian nodded and told her the special information he had obtained with great difficulty by mobilizing all his connections.
“According to the evaluations of the instructors of the Magic Academy and the head of the Yan Jiahui Academy, the talent of the eight princes is unparalleled, but there is one weakness. And the only one who can exploit that weakness is you.”
“…What are the downsides?”
“They said it revealed the beauty of women.”
“… … .”
So-Hong was left speechless by this unexpected shortcoming.
* * *
Take a moment to look at the day’s events and recall them.
Whether it was a coincidence or because he felt her gaze, Ichimoku turned his head and looked at her.
Naturally, the last words of advice the guardian deity had spoken came to So-Hong’s mind.
– She is a womanizer, but she is only sixteen years old. With her sultry charm, she will captivate the eight princes.
She was lying on the floor, and she almost answered the courtier’s advice without realizing it.
‘The charm of a sultry woman. What is it?’
She is thirty-two years old this year and has devoted her entire life to martial arts and work.
As she boasted an appearance that was considered beautiful, there were often men who approached her, but she always coldly resisted them.
In other words, he was saying that he had no dating experience even though he was thirty-two.
However, she could not reveal that fact to the court guardian.
‘This is a chance to make a big impact! How could I miss this opportunity!’
So, after leaving the court, she went to see her already married acquaintances and asked for advice.
And this moment, when our eyes met for the first time.
‘You said that first impressions are important, right? You said that men are particularly weak to women’s smiling faces, right?’
Thinking back to the advice she had heard last night, So-Hong smiled awkwardly.
“!?”
Ichimoku’s face crumpled as he met her creepy smile.
‘Damn it. There’s still an assassin out there.’
