Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 154

Practice (4)

After spending a night in the wasteland with the sand and dust, the Counts and the Magi’s officers set out on their journey again.

Although the Counts had shown great interest in Ilmok on the first day, there were some among them who began speaking to other officials one by one.

“Phew. Phew.”

A member of the Counts cautiously approached the short-haired official who was struggling to perform lightness exercises while controlling his breathing.

He opened his mouth to ask for advice.

“When performing lightness, internal energy… .”

Before he could finish his words, the short-haired Kwan-do. Jeong-hyeon started the game.

“Eek!”

Jeong-hyeon screamed at the sudden approach of a man with absolutely no intimacy, and fell down with her legs tangled.

When the Count, startled by the sight, approached closer to wake up Jeong-hyeon, Jeong-hyeon’s face instantly turned pale.

“Hey, come to your senses!”

The moment when the Count’s member, startled by Jeong-hyeon’s reaction that seemed like he might faint at any moment, grabbed Jeong-hyeon’s shoulder and tried to shake him.

Pot.

Instructor Eun-ryeo, who had come over before anyone knew it, grabbed the Count’s arm.

“That’s because he’s very shy. I’ll chase after him, so you go first.”

“Is that so?”

At Eun-ryeo’s brief explanation, the Count who had been trying to show favor nodded with a trembling face and walked away.

After the man who had suddenly approached left, Jeong-hyeon finally came to his senses and bowed his head and spoke.

“I’m sorry, Instructor Eun-ryeo.”

“I’m fine, so don’t worry about it.”

Eun-ryeo, who answered like that, instead of helping Jeong-hyeon stand up, stepped back.

Since he had already been surprised once, he thought that if he approached him, he could start a fight again.

“Phew.”

Seeing Jeong-hyeon raise his body with a sigh of relief, Eun-ryeo opened her mouth after a moment of thought.

“I don’t care, but the problem is what happens after you graduate from the Magic Academy. Whether it’s the Armed Forces or somewhere else, you’ll eventually have to go somewhere after you graduate.”

“…I’m sorry, instructor.”

“It’s not something you should feel sorry about. It’s just that, for that time, I think I need to adapt little by little.”

“No, I will try.”

Eun-ryeo nodded once and opened her mouth as she saw Jeong-hyeon answering with his head bowed deeply.

“If we delay any longer, we might fall behind, so let’s set off now.”

Since everyone in the group was either in flight or on horseback, there was already a long distance between them.

They ran for a long time, using the sand and footprints they created as landmarks.

Jeong-hyeon and Eun-ryeo were able to join the group soon after, thanks to their stop for a break.

And Jeong-Hyeon, who returned to the line, turned his head quickly and started walking with a determined expression.

‘Oh, Instructor Eun-ryeo is right.’

I needed some practice getting along with people.

‘Yeah, I’ve been in drama clubs before, so it shouldn’t be difficult.’

She recalled her days at the club and made up her mind, then headed to where the Count who had approached her earlier was sitting and resting.

Jeong-Hyeon decided to apologize for surprising the person who was trying to give him advice.

“Joe, I’m sorry about a little while ago.”

As Jeong-Hyeon lowered his head and muttered in a very nervous manner, the Count tried to get up.

“Eek.”

As he moved, the Count stopped with a bewildered expression as he saw Jeong-Hyeon trying to start a fight.

“Ahem. I’m fine, so don’t worry about it.”

“Go, thank you.”

Jeong-Hyeon answered with his head bowed once again and then turned his back.

“Eek!”

At the sound of the Count’s troop member walking from the side, he screamed again as if he was about to start a fight.

Even though the distance between me and the Count’s men who were approaching from the side was more than a meter.

“Eek!”

Even after that, when Jeong-hyeon would startle and fall over every few steps, the Countess thought to herself as she stroked her rough beard.

‘What a funny kid.’

And when I turned my head to look around, the interesting sights didn’t end with that one child.

“Ohhohohoho!”

From one side of the camp, a very bold woman’s laughter could be heard.

When I turned my head toward that place, there was an innkeeper who was covering one side of his face with a fan and laughing out loud.

“You’ve been practicing light martial arts for several hours. Isn’t it difficult?”

When asked by one of the Counts who was next to the woman, the innkeeper holding the fan also. Bang Mi-hwa burst into a proud laugh again.

“Ohhohoho. This is nothing to me, Bang Mi-hwa.”

His clothes were soaked with sweat and dirt, and his face and hair were also covered in sweat and dirt, turning them into sticky mucus.

She smiled so proudly, as if it was nothing.

The surrounding Counts looked at her with cute expressions, perhaps because they thought her appearance was just the childish bravado of young officials.

“Ohhohoho. As expected, no one can take their eyes off me.”

Her self-esteem was sky-high again today.

“As expected, it’s Mi-hwa! How can you be this beautiful after sleeping out all day and running continuously?”

It was Ha-young who was by her side and admired her diligently.

The faces of the Counts watching them from the side naturally broke into empty laughter at the sight of the two shouting so confidently.

‘Ohhohoho. Seeing you all keep smiling at me, it seems like you’re all falling for my charm and can’t escape.’

Of course, in Bang Mi-hwa’s eyes, that smile was not a hollow laugh, but the smile of a man in love.

For a moment, let’s listen to Jeong-hyeon’s screams, Bang Mi-hwa’s narcissism, and Ha-young’s barrage of praises ring out one after another.

Each of the Counts, who had been measuring time with an hourglass, stood up and shouted.

“It’s time to get ready to go!”

Following the instructions of the Count’s troupe, we set off again on our journey, and after about an hour had passed.

“hmm?”

A strange sound came out of the mouth of the Count who was at the forefront.

“Someone is coming.”

Likewise, the moment when the Countess noticed something and muttered to herself.

“It’s finally real!!”

Suddenly, Dokgo-pae shouted in an excited tone and started running forward alone.

“Do, Chairman Dokgo… . Hey, stop… .”

Before I knew it, I was holding Kwak-sul’s nape with one hand.

But Dokgo-pae had no choice but to stop soon.

“Stop.”

This was because a middle-aged man who had suddenly flown blocked Dokgo’s path.

He was the first man to express his doubts a little while ago, and he was the leader of the Count’s group.

“There is no need for overprotection!! Shouldn’t all unmanned units grow through actual combat?”

Dokgo-pae, who had shouted at the leader of the group blocking his path, tried to run again, but the leader of the group was faster than him.

Wedge-shaped.

The spear of the leader of the group was pulled out in an instant and stopped in front of Dokgo’s neck.

“They are nomads passing by, not our targets. And above all, if they disobey their superiors’ orders, they will have to hand over their balls.”

At the threat of the leader of the group, for some reason, Dokgo-pae smiled happily.

“If you are a non-Bimoo, you are always welcome!”

visor!

As if his body was already aching, Dokgo-pae pulled out his large sword and struck Iljo-jang’s spear, and suddenly the two began to fight.

Of course, that bromance didn’t last long.

Although Dokgo-pae was the second-ranking official of the Magic Hall, he was nothing more than a mere official.

puck!!

The spear of the general, who had simply found a loophole in Dokgo Gugeom, struck his side.

“Ugh… .”

Even though his breathing was momentarily interrupted by the intense pain, Dokgo-pae swung his sword again.

puck!

Every time, the spear of the chief of staff, who had been waiting for an opening, struck his body.

It was not just a stabbing, but a beating that was almost bone-breaking.

Dokgo-pae, who was beaten so much that his entire body was covered in bruises in a matter of seconds, eventually collapsed.

“Wow. Thank you for guiding me! I’ll be counting on you next time too!!!”

Unlike the guy who got beaten up, he screamed with a face that looked like he was going to die from joy.

Anyone could tell that these were the actions of a crazy person, but the officials and members of the Count’s guild all had the same expression on their faces.

“The officer who was being dragged away a little while ago called me ‘Dokgo’, right?”

“Hmm. I heard that the eldest grandson of the Dokgo family is in this batch. I think it’s that guy.”

“Considering that you are already ignoring your superior’s words, it seems that Dokgo Gugeom’s achievements are quite high.”

This was because Dokgo Se-ga’s crazy personality was already widely known within the Cheonmasingyo.

The journey continued after that. During the process of moving and resting repeatedly, it was only natural that some of the Magic Hall officials and the Count’s members would have seizures and cause disturbances due to the side effects of the magic.

However, when comparing the frequency, the cases of the Magic Hall officials were overwhelmingly higher.

Considering that the side effects of magic become stronger the higher the level, it was quite strange, but in a way, it was also natural.

Humans are creatures of adaptation. If they are stuck in a certain state for a long time, they tend to adapt to the side effects to some extent and learn to control themselves.

Those who are greatly affected by the side effects of magic are usually those whose realm has developed rapidly.

This meant that the greater one’s talent for martial arts, the greater the risk of suffering from side effects.

Even within the Count’s Corps, most of those with considerable experience had already adapted to their side effects, or had overcome extremes and thus had somewhat weakened their side effects.

That’s why the side effects of the Magic Hall members, who are the fastest growing and emotionally unstable age group, were bound to be particularly prominent.

“… This season seems particularly serious.”

The Countess shook her head with a face that seemed to be unable to adapt even after considering that point.

The sun had completely set. Bu-dan-ju nodded at Dan-ju’s words as he glanced over the people who were each preparing to sleep out.

“In the last class, aside from the second son of Baekga and the official named Mak Ho-yeol, he was relatively well-behaved, wasn’t he?”

“There are children who are no less talented than those two, at least four.”

Danju and Budanju, who were talking to each other, looked somewhere.

A path that cuts through the darkness, leaving the camp and heading somewhere. Towards the light.

“Huh… In the midst of all this, you still take a bath and cleanse yourself every day.”

Of course, among the crazy people they chose was Ichimoku.

The next day, we prepared again from the early morning and ran for half a day.

By the afternoon, they had arrived at a relatively large village within Xinjiang. It was Toroban, their first destination.

Since the Count’s target this time was those who were plundering between Toroban and Hapmil, they first took some time to prepare in Toroban.

He fed the horses and prepared food and water for them to eat, and also visited the branch of the Cheonmasin Church located in Toroban to get information.

By the time we finished preparing, the sun was already beginning to set.

“There’s nothing that can block our view in the places where they usually appear, so if we all move together, there’s a high chance that they’ll run away from far away. So from now on, we’ll split into six groups and move disguised as merchants.”

The explanation of the Count’s troupe, who had finished all preparations, followed.

Thirty-eight members of the Count’s Corps, four instructors at the Magic Academy, and four assistant instructors and twenty officials.

He was the head of the Count’s group, who divided the sixty-six people into six groups of eleven.

The gist of the plan was that six groups would spread out widely, identify the territory where the bastards were mainly appearing, and advance from Toroban to Hapmil.

“I will give each team leader this signal flare. If you detonate it early, they will run away, so detonate it after they are a little closer. After the battle starts.”

Ilmok, who was looking at the Count Danju, who was talking loudly in front of him, with a calm face, thought.

‘The odds of meeting six of them are one in six. This time, I might just end up taking a leisurely walk.’

A faint smile appeared on Ichimoku’s lips at the thought that there was no need to fight.
