Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 165
God is great (2)
As I was adjusting to life in the changed Magic Hall, time passed quickly.
During training time, instructors and teaching assistants gave the trainees various advices based on what had happened in the previous training sessions, and the trainees devoted themselves to training based on this advice.
In addition, the training on poison conducted during Instructor Eunryeo’s training session gradually increased in difficulty.
“Ugh….”
Although there were some who showed signs of addiction from time to time, thanks to the quick response of Instructor Eun-ryeo and her assistants, there were no cases of patients suffering from serious illnesses that required transport to the headquarters.
The meditation club also became much more comfortable thanks to the significantly reduced number of people.
‘Why isn’t this guy leaving?’
Strangely, only the guy named Cheon Soo-ryong or something remained until the end, and it was annoying that he kept looking at me with such disgust.
One day, more than a month later.
We left the Magic Hall again and headed somewhere. For the second practice.
But the direction we were headed was completely different from the last time we practiced.
Instead of leaving Cheonmandaesan and heading towards Xinjiang, we were heading towards the headquarters mountain.
And when we arrived at a place about halfway between the Magic Hall and the headquarters, we were able to encounter a group waiting for us.
The middle-aged man with a scary appearance and a scar right under his eye, who was at the forefront of the group, opened his mouth with a smile.
“Welcome. Gentlemen of the Magic Hall. I am Gu Yang-hyeok, the leader of the Black Tiger Group.”
It was a strange feeling.
If it weren’t for the scar, he would have looked like a cheerful middle-aged man, but perhaps because of the scar under his eye, he felt a strange sense of intimidation.
“Meet the Black Tiger Lord!”
As soon as his introduction was over, the officials all took their tickets and saluted him.
The Black Tiger Lord glanced at the officials who were paying their respects while maintaining his peculiar smile.
‘hmm?’
The exact moment his gaze landed on me.
Sigh.
The corners of his mouth went up even more, and as soon as our eyes met, he quickly returned to his original expression and looked away.
‘Do you know me?’
While he was pondering such questions, the Black Tiger Leader, who had been looking over all the officials, opened his mouth.
“The mission of the Black Tiger Corps is to watch over Cheonmandaesan, the sacred mountain of our religion. There are also non-believers living in the west and north beyond Cheonmandaesan, so it can be said that our mission is to prevent them from daring to look down on Cheonmandaesan.”
Perhaps because it was an explanation of what needed to be done in the future, the officials focused on his words with shining eyes.
“In the past, six groups divided the area and took turns watching over it, but now that the master of Manma is more interested in internal affairs, three groups, including our Black Tiger Group, take turns patrolling and watching over Manmandaesan. So you should also focus more on your training. Even though the number of people has decreased, there shouldn’t be any holes in the surveillance network.”
As I listened to the Black Tiger Leader’s explanation, I thought I knew why he had been laughing at me just a little while ago.
‘X is done.’
There must have been a grudge against me.
The reason the number of armed forces guarding Cheonmandaesan was reduced from six to three, and the reason the Master focused more on internal affairs, was because of my advice.
Because of the lack of manpower due to the children’s education and the Xinjiang redevelopment plan, even the armed forces had to be diverted to that work.
While I was feeling the ominous feeling that this internship period would be filled with darkness, the Black Tiger Leader suddenly blurted out something.
“Okay. Go ahead.”
When I turned my head in wonder, Dokgo-pae was there with his hand raised and his eyes shining with anticipation.
“If I do that, will I be able to fight against the non-believers who have sneaked into Cheonmandaesan?”
“If non-believers enter Cheonmandaesan, there will be a fight.”
“If there are no guys coming in, don’t you go out and catch them?”
He was a single-minded man who was anxious to break the heads of the reckless non-believers.
“As I said before, we are short on manpower right now because we are busy with internal affairs. Rather than hunting down and killing the non-believers in the west, we should focus on finding those who are hiding.”
In response, Dokgo-pae muttered with a face of obvious regret.
“Please come in, you infidels! I will split your heads with this Dokgo-pae’s Dokgo-gu sword!”
He was crazy.

Since then, the Black Tiger Leader has been explaining the Black Tiger Unit’s missions and precautions.
“If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask your senior members during breaks during patrol.”
And with the order to advance from the Black Tiger Leader after a brief explanation, they began to move along the mountain path of Cheonmandae Mountain.
Unlike the last practice, this time it was quite a leisurely pace.
If at that time the situation was to deal with the bandits as quickly as possible, now the purpose was surveillance and exploration.
They were moving at a slow pace, but spread out at a wide distance and watched the surroundings.
But it wasn’t all that easy because the speed was slow. It wasn’t a full-out sprint, but I had to maintain a certain speed and constantly be on the lookout in all directions, and I had to move without stopping for nearly an hour.
“Let’s take a short break here.”
As the Black Tiger Leader gave instructions, those who had been scattered at intervals began to gather together.
‘Phew.’
Ichimoku approached them appropriately, stopped with some distance between them, and sighed lightly.
‘I feel a little uneasy.’
Unlike other officials who bathed in sweat, Ilmok, who had a high level of skill, felt more like he was taking a light walk.
There was a faint sweat on his forehead, and his body wasn’t sweaty either. However, even this was enough to make Ichimoku feel uncomfortable in many ways.
‘Are you taking a bath? Or not?’
For a moment, I was lost in thought about whether or not to open the condensation wine.
His expression turned ashen.
This was because the Black Tiger Master had suddenly approached him.
“Hahaha. Don’t be so nervous. I won’t eat you.”
At the words of the Black Tiger Master, who had a unique smile that made his sword marks bend, Ilmok tried to smile.
‘I don’t think they’ll eat me. Right… .’
Instead, he’ll be making a fuss about himself, like a real complainant.
However, the story that came out of the Black Tiger Leader’s mouth was completely different from what Ichimoku had expected.
“Actually, I heard about you from Moon-i.”
“…?”
Ilmok, who had been wondering for a moment who Moon-i was, was finally able to guess who it was.
“Are you talking about the Guyangmun Small Business Association?”
“That’s right. Hahaha. As you might have guessed from my last name, Moon-i is my nephew.”
“ah….”
I hadn’t even thought about it, let alone expected it.
“Hahaha. You seem surprised because I pretended to know you when we first met. Actually, I asked Moon-i to tell me what you looked like, so she recognized you right away.”
“Is that so?”
Why on earth did he recognize my face by asking my nephew?
‘You really are determined to do it.’
It was a scene that made me think of the real complaints I had experienced in modern times, but the story that came out of the Black Tiger Leader’s mouth was, as expected, unexpected.
“Actually, I’ve heard rumors about you before. No, I could say that I heard about you from Moon-i before the rumors started spreading. I heard that Moon-i considers you another teacher.”
“Ahahaha… that’s too much praise.”
“Hahaha. If what I heard from my Count and Moon-i is true, then rumors are nothing compared to reality, right?”
As if Goyangmun wasn’t enough, it seemed that he had even sought information from the Count Danju, who had been with him during the last training.
And Black Tiger Leader Gu Yang-hyeok said quietly, still maintaining his signature smile.
“I heard from my Count. After you complete your training at the Magic Academy, you will be given a special mission by the Heavenly Demon?”
I almost had my expression crumpled without me realizing it.
‘Why is that gentleman so open-mouthed?’
Since the words had already been spoken, it was impossible to reveal them as lies here. Ichimoku tried hard to control his expression as he answered.
“… Yes.”
“Hmm. But if you want, you could probably convince the Supreme Being. What do you think? After you finish your training at the Magic Academy, how about joining our Black Tiger Group?”
Only then was Ilmok able to figure out Gu Yang-hyeok’s purpose.
Now that I look at it, it turns out he wasn’t a genuine complainant, but was approached for the purpose of soliciting me.
If that’s the case, then dealing with it was simple.
Ichimoku, who had been tense until then, answered with a gentle smile.
“I’m sorry. I agree with you, Master.”
As long as it wasn’t a genuine complaint, there was no reason to be afraid.
* * *
The journey with the Black Tigers wasn’t so bad from Ichimoku’s perspective.
There was no need to move in a hurry like when I was with the Count’s group, and above all, it was easy to get water.
Water could be obtained from streams or rivers flowing through the mountains, and since there was more water vapor than in the wasteland, it was easy to spread the condensation liquor.
“Damn it! You cowardly infidels! Why don’t you invade!”
Although he often heard the crazy Dokgo-pae bastard’s nonsense, Ichimoku didn’t really care.
I walked around Cheonmandaesan with the Black Tiger Group for about two weeks.
The Black Tiger Leader stopped walking on the terrain along the river and shouted.
“Stop! Let’s take a break here for a while.”
At his shout, the demon cult members gathered around the Black Tiger Leader and each prepared to take a break.
Some people went to the river to get water or drink it, while others sat down to have a snack or chat with the people next to them.
In that atmosphere, Ichimoku suddenly broke away from the formation and headed somewhere.
But everyone seemed to think so. This was because they had already seen this scene many times over the past two weeks.
“Are you going to take a bath again?”
“That’s right… It’s amazing in many ways.”
The expressions on the faces of the Black Tiger members who were talking like that looked very similar to the expressions on their faces as they looked at Dokgo-pae who was spouting nonsense.
Ilmok, unaware that others considered him to be on the same level as Dokgo-pae, quickly moved between the bushes, took off his clothes, and jumped into the river.
with a plop!
A refreshing sound echoed through the air, and Ilmok, who had washed off his sweat in the river water, hesitated as he rubbed the stone he had brought with him on his body.
The moment I jumped into the water, the river water slightly entered my mouth. That was why I felt a sense of discomfort.
Frowning, he took a moment to discern the energy he felt from the water. Ilmok spat out the water that had entered his mouth.
‘I never thought detox training would help in this way.’
The energy I felt from the river was a kind of mountain air poison.
“It’s poison!! There’s poison in the river!”
As if he was shouting at the first glance, the Black Tiger Leader shouted.
“Those who drank the river water, immediately expel the poison with your internal energy! And everyone, prepare for battle!”
Hearing the screams of Ichimoku, the Black Tiger Master realized an important fact.
The fact that the area is so quiet.
Of course, with over sixty people, including the Black Tiger Group and the Magic Hall, hanging around, it was natural for the animals to avoid them.
But this was a place along the river. It was strange that no animal sounds could be heard from upstream or downstream, unless it was right nearby.
Those who drank water ate breakfast, while others stood guard and prepared for battle. Ilmok also quickly dried himself and returned after putting on his clothes.
‘Fuck. Fuck.’
I felt like I was going crazy because I hadn’t even washed it off properly and was putting my sweaty clothes back on.
“Finally! Finally!!”
In the midst of all this, as I watched Dokgo-pae rejoicing at the arrival of the battle, I felt like I wanted to hit him in the back of the head.
“Shut up!!”
“This is a situation where my colleague could die!”
“Do you think real life is a joke!!”
However, perhaps because they were people who knew the difference between time and season, the Black Tiger members who usually just laughed it off began to crave Dokgo’s company.
“Phew.”
Ilmok sighs as his mind feels a little at ease thanks to the sight of Dokgo’s gang being stripped of their weapons.
I began to see figures slowly approaching from beyond the bushes.
Their numbers, spread out wide and approaching, dominating all directions, easily seemed to exceed a hundred.
Ilmok, who had been observing them with his eyes wide open with his inner strength, soon tilted his head.
‘The clothes are like those of nomads, but are the races mixed?’
Perhaps it was because they came from beyond the mountains. Half of them looked like nomads or Mongolians, and half looked like people from the region commonly called the Middle East.
By the time they got to a certain distance.
Suddenly, the flow of energy flowing through the air began to distort, centering around several men.
It was not difficult to grasp the situation at first glance.
‘incantation?’
Although it wasn’t exactly the same, it had a similar vibe to when Instructor An Jeok-un performed his magic in the past.
They were waving the sticks in their hands back and forth and muttering in an unintelligible language.
The flow of energy mixed with the movement of the stick they were shaking, and at some point it regained stability.
“Allahu Akbar!!”
Allah’s magic wand spewed fire.
