Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 19

Side effects (1)

Perhaps because my opinion was somewhat useful, the teacher ordered me to return after breakfast.

therefore.

“I hope you jump well.”

It was said that the hellish lightness training had begun again.

Just as I had done when I came to Onsuk-hyeon, after riding the carriage three times to rest and then running in time with the movements of the light-hearted movements, I was finally able to return to the headquarters.

“Ugh… .”

While I was breathing heavily and trying to catch my breath.

The teacher got out of the carriage leisurely and spoke to me with a gentle smile.

“Thank you for your hard work. Hehe. I think I’ve had enough light-hearted training today, so I’ll skip the training with Nobu in the afternoon.”

The teacher spoke as if he were doing a favor.

But, after all this hardship, is that level of compensation enough?

“Huh. Master. Then when will the riot squad come out?”

A symbol of fate that always appears in martial arts novels. An elixir.

He had promised that if I successfully completed this business trip, he would give me the elixir.

‘If I just take the elixir, it will be a lot easier to enter the Magic Hall.’

And if it were easier to enter the Magic Hall, there would be no reason to be so tight with the schedule as now.

My dream and hope. Work-life balance is coming!

But the teacher shook his head.

Before I could say the word ‘swindler’ without realizing it, the swindler old man added something.

“Your danjeon has not yet fully developed, so it is too early to consume the Bombardment right now. Once your danjeon has settled down a bit more and your blood vessels have become stronger, I will give you the medicine then.”

“Is that so…?”

A naturally timid tone emerged.

‘You’re not going to just brush it off with a few words and forget about it, are you?’

Since Seo Ji-hoon had so many experiences as a Dane, it was natural that doubts arose first.

‘It’s not like they’re a shitty company that doesn’t even keep their promise of performance-based pay, right?’

If you look at the scale of the Cheonmasingyo cult alone, it was so large that it could put the large corporations of South Korea to shame, but if you think about the old-fashioned way of handling things, it was something that could have happened.

However, I couldn’t just open my mouth carelessly.

Putting aside the evil corporate chairman, Jin Ha-yeon, the fanatic, will try to dance with a sword again.

So, after a while, the teacher who had only made a verbal promise left.

dripping.

The sound of a knock on the door of Pungamjeon rang out.

Then, the door to Pungamjeon opened with a ‘swoosh’ and a familiar little face appeared.

The little boy who had been nervously looking around the inside of Pungamjeon smiled brightly when he saw my face.

“Oppa~!”

Dododo ran over and hugged Seon-ah. I patted her head and asked.

“While I was away, did you study and practice hard?”

Seon-ah smiled brightly at my question and chattered incessantly.

I’m talking about the doctrines of the Cheonmasin religion that I learned over the past two days, and the method of killing people through blood sacrifice.

“… … .”

I wondered what on earth these crazy guys were doing to a child, but since this was a pseudo-military group, there was nothing they could do.

I sighed inwardly and soon realized that everything around me had become quiet.

Seon-ah, who had been chattering nonstop, looked up at me with her mouth shut, as if she had finished bragging.

“Our Seon-ah really worked hard to keep her promise with her brother. Then, I should give Seon-ah a gift too.”

I rummaged through my belongings and took out the items I had brought from Onsuk-hyeon.

It was a hairpin.

Last night, while I was walking around Onsuk-hyeon and checking out the town’s situation, I remembered the little girl who was waiting for me, so I bought a hairpin.

I put the hairpin in the little girl’s long, red-tinged hair.

‘Hmm. Is this the right way to do it?’

I had never used a hairpin before, and I had never put one on for anyone, so it felt a little off.

But when Seon-ah actually received my gift, she had a very happy expression on her face.

As Seon-ah, who was wearing a crooked hairpin, was watching the brightly smiling face, a cold voice pierced her ear.

“Miss Seon-ah. Would you like to leave now for today? Your Majesty, from yesterday until this morning, you have been busy with your schedule and did not have enough time to study.”

Naturally, Seon-ah looked at me and Jin Ha-yeon alternately with anxious eyes.

From my perspective, it wasn’t a very pleasant situation.

In this cult full of lunatics, the two things that kept me sane were my diary and this cute little kid.

However, if we only took Seon-ah’s side here, a situation could have unfolded where the two ended up hating each other for no reason.

“Today, rather than going to Jindo, I will review on my own. Instead, Lady Jin will prepare something separately for you.”

“What should I prepare for you?”

“Preparing for a mock interview.”

“Are you talking about a mock interview?”

Jin Ha-yeon asks again as if she is hearing it for the first time.

Of course, I expected it to be the first time I heard it.

“Prepare a mock interview based on what Lady Jin has taught you over the past two weeks. Not only will it help you practice for the entrance examination at the Magic Hall, but it will also allow me to check if there are any parts I have forgotten or missed.”

The mock interview wasn’t something I came up with on the spur of the moment. I had been thinking about doing it for a while, maybe a couple of weeks.

I have learned this from my long experience as a test taker, but there are many different memorization techniques in the world.

From a scientific perspective, memorization is ultimately a process of converting short-term memory into long-term memory.

And the most important thing to turn short-term memory into long-term memory was, in the end, ‘repetition.’

However, the ‘repetition’ does not become more effective simply by repeating it fifty times when you first learn it.

The most efficient way was to review it every now and then when I was about to forget it.

Review what you learned once on the same day, once the next day, once a week later, once a month later, once three months later, and once a year later.

In that sense, mock interviews or mock exams were quite important.

Because you can check which parts of your memory have become hazy or which parts you haven’t memorized without having to keep rereading the content that has already been long-term memorized, it increases the efficiency of reviewing in addition to exam practice.

And for this, the quality of the questions on the mock exam was most important.

“I would like you to prepare questions that are as close to the level as possible of the actual entrance examination for the Magic Academy. Also, within the scope of the progress I have made over the past two weeks, please prepare questions on every subject without exception.”

At my direction, Jin Ha-yeon made an expression of curiosity that was unusual for her.

As if he didn’t know I was thinking about such details.

“We plan to continue conducting mock interviews once every two weeks. Oh, and while we’re at it, it would be good for Seon-ah to join us. After all, Seon-ah is also studying doctrines and such in preparation for her entrance into the Magic Academy, right?”

After I finished giving instructions to Jin Ha-yeon, I looked at Seon-ah.

“Then, let’s check tomorrow to see how well Seon-ah kept her promises.”

At my words, Seon-ah swallowed hard and her eyes began to tremble anxiously.

And Seon-ah, who seemed to be thinking for a moment, suddenly escaped from my arms.

“I, I’ll study a little more too.”

After saying that, Seon-ah left Pungamjeon at a leisurely pace.

The hairpin that was not properly fixed and was wobbling around particularly caught my eye.

* * *

From that day on, Ichimoku’s work went on similarly.

Excluding one mock interview in the middle.

As instructed by Ilmok, Jin Ha-yeon prepared mock interview questions that were extremely meticulous, and Ilmok answered all of them perfectly.

“Wow! How do you remember all that, oppa?”

Seon-ah, who happened to do a mock interview with him, was always amazed with her bright eyes.

That doesn’t mean Seon-ah couldn’t answer the questions at all.

In the first place, as she was the precious daughter of the Hyukryun family, a renowned family of the Demonic Cult, she was a Seon-ah who had already read the doctrine several times.

However, because she was still young, Seon-ah’s studying was close to simple memorization.

Although he did answer all of Jin Ha-yeon’s questions, they were all short answers or one-sentence answers, just as they were written in the doctrine.

On the other hand, Ilmok spoke so fluently that it was worthy of the term “clear and clear water”.

When answering a question about a certain passage in the catechism, he would quote other passages related to that passage in succession, or he would use various metaphors.

‘… The reason I brought up the mock interview story wasn’t just because of Miss Seon-ah.’

Naturally, Jin Ha-yeon also looked at Il-mok with slightly different eyes.

Surely, I would not have thought that I would have understood and memorized every single thing I learned in the past two weeks.

Come to think of it, even when I went to see Onsuk-hyeon, something seemed different.

‘Perhaps, Confucius Ichimoku really is a genius… .’

In reality, he was just an old man who was used to studying, but Jin Ha-yeon had no way of knowing that fact.

Anyway, apart from the misunderstanding that Jin Ha-yeon started, Ilmok’s daily life went on similarly.

The external training with Jin Ha-yeon was also on track, and it was a sight to see the muscles slowly building up on his body.

The same goes for martial arts training with Cheonma.

Thanks to having become accustomed to lightness and martial arts while going back and forth to Onsuk-hyeon, I have recently been focusing on training to perform the Talhonmujeonggeom along with lightness and martial arts.

In the remaining time, I always repeat the Unki breakfast and increase the size of my internal energy for about two weeks.

When the small rice-sized danjeon became the size of a soybean.

“At this point, I think it’s time to start training my internal energy.”

Cheonma delivered news that made Ichimoku’s heart flutter.

But before teaching martial arts right away, Cheonma preached the greatness of magic.

“Hahaha. Don’t be surprised. The internal energy that the hypocrites of the Central Plains practice is enough to take at least two years to accumulate, and it is already stored in your danjeon. Even the spiritual energy that the non-believers of the Central Plains call divine energy or cultivating the mind is enough to accumulate in at least three months.”

An intake speed three times faster than that of the Central Plains Divine Sword.

But Ichimoku understood that it was nothing more than a play on words.

‘But there are side effects.’

Of course, it was a mistake to say those words out loud.

“As expected! The magic of the Heavenly Demon Sect is truly the best in the world, Master.”

“Hahaha. You understand very well.”

Cheonma, who was in a good mood, burst into laughter and slowly pulled out the Cheonma Sword that was hanging at his side.

While demonstrating the first and only method of the Talhonmujeonggeom and the sword technique, Talhonbigeom, Cheonma recited the secrets of Talhonbigeom one after another with his mouth.

Cheonma, who had finished slowly drawing his sword and explaining the secret, put the sword back in its scabbard and began drawing his sword again, unraveling the secret and explaining it.

“As you hold the sword, you must simultaneously pull it up from the lower abdomen and send it to the Gihae point. And the flow of energy starting from the Gihae point… .”

Ilmok asked in a questioning tone as Cheonma finished his explanation in just the time it took him to slowly draw his sword again.

“Oh, is that the end?”

Whether it was a summary or an explanation of the summary, it was shorter than I thought. It wasn’t particularly complicated.

“Hehehe. Magical arts emphasize efficiency. Those hypocrites who call themselves famous schools are worried that someone will steal their martial arts, so they write down the essence in long and complicated words like codes, but our magic arts are not like that. The flow of internal energy is also the same. They insist on using internal energy in a complicated and difficult way, but we do not utilize internal energy in that way.”

“Is there a reason why the hypocrites of the political faction have such a hard time using their internal energy?”

“Hahaha. That’s because they are cowards. If you try to use your internal energy to avoid dangerous blood vessels, the path is bound to be complicated.”

“ah….”

In other words, even if there was a dangerous blood vessel, instead of avoiding it, they just ran straight through it.

‘I wonder if anyone would say they’re crazy… .’

As the danger of magic was being recalled, Cheonma, who was looking at the scene, spoke.

“As you said, the gist is simple, so you must have already memorized it. Now, it’s time for you to unfold it yourself.”

Ichimoku took a few deep breaths to relieve his tension, then placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“This is your first time unfolding it, so read it slowly while remembering the gist.”

Even without Cheonma’s advice, Ilmok had intended to do so.

Since you’ve crossed a dangerous bloodline, there’s a risk of becoming disabled if you spread it out recklessly.

“Ugh.”

Finally, Ichimoku took a deep breath, held his breath, and slowly drew his sword.

I recalled the short summary Cheonma had given me in my head and used my internal energy according to its flow.

Jiiing.

Then, surprisingly, even though I was drawing the sword slowly, the name of the sword rang out as soon as I finished the Talhonbi Sword technique.

It meant that the sword had that much power in it.

Ilmok, who was looking at the swordsman who had vomited out the sword name as if it was amazing, performed the Talhonbi Sword several more times after that.

But perhaps because my danjeon was still the size of a soybean, after stretching it out a few times, my danjeon became empty.

“Take some luck breakfast. After you fill your danjeon, let’s start again.”

Following Cheonma’s instructions, he recovered his internal energy with Unkijoshi, and then used his internal energy again to unleash the Talhonbi Sword several times.

As the technique became familiar to me, at some point I was able to unleash the Talhonbi Sword at a speed no different from when I normally swung my sword.

Wheeeeeeing.

As the speed increased, Ilmok looked at the sword that was spitting out its sword name more and more refreshingly, and then frowned.

And then Ichimoku, who had been looking away with an uncomfortable expression, turned his head and began to look around.

“Is there a problem?”

Ilmok answered Cheonma’s question, which seemed to be a question.

“Well, my position seems a little strange.”

“location?”

In response to Cheonma’s question, instead of answering, Ilmok suddenly took a step to the right.

“Whew. This is the exact center of Pungamjeon. Something feels off because it’s leaning to one side…”

A cold sweat ran down Ichimoku’s back as he suddenly stopped talking.

‘Fuck.’

It was at this point that I realized that the side effects of the Talhonmujeonggeom had begun.
