Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 25

Team Leader (4)

“Meet the master of Manma!”

“Hello, Lord Cheonma!”

The reason the medical room was noisy was because the Master had come to visit.

The doctors working in the hospital were shouting out praises to the teacher without exception.

And soon.

Ssuk.

The door to the room where I was staying opened and the teacher came in.

“Okay. Just sit down.”

When Jin Ha-yeon, who had splints and bandages wrapped around both arms, was about to lie down on the floor, the teacher quickly stopped her.

And the Master looked at me and asked.

“How are you feeling?”

“Thanks to the quick treatment, there are no major problems.”

“Thank goodness. I heard the story. When the first one went berserk, you showed your wit and were able to minimize the damage.”

I smiled faintly at my teacher’s praise.

It wasn’t a smile that came from being happy about being praised.

You risked your life to provoke a mad boar, so a word or two of praise is not enough.

“If I do that, will you give me some kind of reward?”

As a child, I was taught that humility was a virtue, but I learned it after experiencing social life.

If you work hard and endure, believing that it will pay off someday, you will only be forgotten.

When you do something well, you need to ask for a reward right away to receive a proper reward.

“Confucius! What are you saying to the Most High!!”

Of course, Jin Ha-yeon, who was there, was shocked, which was unusual for her, but it was none of my business.

“Hmm. Reward. Well, thanks to you, the Hyukryun Family has decided not to ask the eldest about this matter any more, so I think it’s worth giving you a reward.”

“Have you been to Hyukryun Segae?”

The teacher nodded.

“The girl admitted that the reason the first one went berserk was because of her words. In addition, the testimony of the escort and the girl were also consistent. They said that you provoked the first one and dragged him away to save everyone there.”

It seems that while I was lying down, the Master was cleaning up after the Ambassador’s rampage.

“Then, what happened to the ambassador?”

“First of all, as a punishment, you were locked up in the closed room. And to those who were injured this time, I gave them medicine and some money to help them recover. So, I think it’s right to reward you, who did the most.”

Oh oh.

I wonder what kind of compensation they will give.

It was a situation that had quite high expectations, as it was an award given by the leader of this huge cult.

And then, after stroking his beard and seeming to think for a moment, the teacher finally told me the reward he was going to give me.

“I will personally have this old man examine your injuries once more with the help of Jin-gi-do-in and Chu-gung-gwa-hyeol. In addition, I will increase the time I spend watching over your martial arts training for a while.”

“… … .”

What is that?

Are you just saying you want to push me around more?

It was a situation where my facial muscles contorted on their own, but fortunately I was able to come to my senses before I failed to control my facial expression.

“The grace of the Most High is truly like heaven!”

It was because Jin Ha-yeon, who was next to me, was shouting like that with a face that looked like she was about to shed tears.

After all, from the perspective of fanatics, what could be more blessed than being able to spend more time with their leader?

Even if he wasn’t a fanatic, any martial artist would want to learn martial arts from someone like the Master even if it meant giving him a billion dollars.

If there’s just a problem.

‘I don’t need that kind of thing!!’

I wasn’t a fanatic, nor was I crazy about martial arts yet.

But, I was able to realize it thanks to Jin Ha-yeon’s reaction.

As a disciple of a cult leader, this is a reward that I must be very happy about.

‘Fuck.’

“I can only thank you, Master, for your grace.”

I felt like my mouth was going to twitch because I was showing a moved expression on the outside, unlike my feelings on the inside.

Fortunately, before my facial muscles could contort, Master brought up another topic.

“Hmm. Actually, the reason the old man came here was to discuss a different story.”

“Was there any problem?”

“Rather than a problem, the eldest one who came to the closed building said that. He said he wanted to talk to you.”

“?!”

“Originally, the rule was that you were not allowed to meet or talk to anyone in the closed building, but since you had just entered the closed building, it seemed like it would be possible to have a brief meeting before being punished. So, I came here to ask for your opinion first.”

It was unexpected news.

That crazy boar is coming to his senses and looking for me?

‘Are you trying to kill me?’

That was the first thought that came to my mind, but it would be hard to kill me while I’m locked in the abandoned building.

Rather, I thought of it as an opportunity.

If things continued this way, I was in danger of becoming a mortal enemy of the ambassador.

The problem was that the ambassador turned around first and started dancing with his sword, but in any case, from that person’s perspective, my comment that I was ‘stupid’ must have made his judgment distorted.

Wouldn’t it be better to resolve the misunderstanding with the Ambassador in a safe environment, now that the Ambassador is locked up in the closed building?

‘If it works out, that’s great, but if it fails, it’s still a win-win.’

After thinking that far, I answered my teacher.

“Is the door to the closed building sturdy?”

Of course, my safety was my top priority.

* * *

Ilmok and Cheonma entered the closed building.

“This is the place.”

Cheonma, who had guided Ilmok, pointed to the iron gate visible beyond the torch and spoke.

“The old man will be waiting here, so come talk to him.”

It was said that he would stay out of the conversation among his disciples.

Ichimoku hesitated for a moment, then approached the iron gate, thinking that it would still be safe.

“Ambassador. Are you there?”

“You are the youngest priest.”

At Ichimoku’s question, Wei Jin-hak’s voice was heard from beyond the iron gate.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

“Hahahahaha. I called you to apologize. I guess I’m still lacking in training, so I couldn’t control my anger.”

Through the iron gate, like a cave echo, the hearty laughter of Wei Jin-hak can be heard.

His usual foolish way of speaking, completely different from when he was blind.

At this point, it seemed like he wasn’t a team leader but had a split personality.

‘Still, it looks like he didn’t give up.’

Ilmok let out a sigh of relief.

But, when I actually went back like that, I felt a bit empty.

“I also came here to apologize. Under the circumstances, I had no choice but to do so in order to prevent others from dying, but I am truly sorry for saying the words you hate the most.”

“Hahahahaha. Now that my head is clear, I know why the priest did that. It’s just a problem caused by this executioner’s stupidity.”

Wei Jin-hak was waiting again while setting up mines.

Ilmok thought about answering appropriately, “Your Majesty, you are not stupid.” Just like he had tried to appease Seo Wan-pyeong when he came to visit in the middle of the night.

But somehow I had a feeling that that wouldn’t suit the ambassador.

Because the ambassador’s symptoms were not delusions of persecution but the team leader’s.

And when I lived with the word “stupid” always on my lips and then got upset when I heard it from others, it seemed like it was a kind of sense of entitlement.

Of course, Ilmok was not a psychiatrist but a former civil servant, so he was not really an expert.

‘It’s okay, since there’s an iron gate protecting it anyway.’

Ichimoku, who remembered that he was safe, opened his mouth cautiously.

“Ambassador. Do you remember when I recommended the third group leader to the vice-chairman?”

“… That’s what it was like.”

At Wei Jin-hak’s voice, which answered in a somewhat calm tone, Ilmok swallowed his saliva and continued speaking.

“I did not say this because I was ignoring the great commander. Think of the idiom “the more the better.” Han Xin said that Gaozu of Han had only the talent to lead a hundred thousand soldiers. However, he himself said that the more soldiers the better. Instead, Han Xin said that Gaozu of Han had the talent to lead generals like himself.”

Of course, a few years after that incident, Han Xin was executed by Liu Bang. Well, it was said that it was a process of eliminating founding officials in order to strengthen the imperial power, but there was also a story that he was killed because he was upset after that incident.

“Also, the most famous person in Shu Han was Zhuge Liang, but the most famous emperor of Shu Han was Liu Bei. As such, what is important for a leader is not his brain. It is the ability to attract people and the ability to deploy the right people in the right places. And your highness, you are the first disciple of the great Heavenly Horse and the one who will become the leader of the new religion.”

While Ilmok continued his rambling speech, for some reason, Wei Jin-hak was not uttering a single word beyond the iron gate.

‘Did I say that for nothing?’

When you feel like you’re trying to resolve a misunderstanding but it’s only gotten worse, you feel a sense of foreboding.

“Let’s go now.”

The Cheonma, who had come close to him, woke up Ilmok’s spirit.

“yes….”

As Ilmok was walking away with his shoulders hunched over at the thought of being ruined, Cheonma suddenly let out a strange sound.

“Well done.”

“???”

What on earth did you do well?

Ilmok wanted to ask that question again, but for some reason, Cheonma’s gaze was directed towards the iron gate and not Ilmok.

‘I’m sure that wasn’t your intention, but it was a very opportune moment.’

It was Cheonma who noticed the changes taking place inside the closed building beyond the iron gate.

‘They say there is such a thing as destiny given by the heavens, and this child is the one that the heavens have chosen for our Cheonmasingyo.’

Since he succeeded in something that was impossible to achieve, there was no other way to explain it.

“You have accomplished this, so I will give you another reward.”

“???”

“Hmm. But this time, rather than me, the old man, stepping forward, it seems like it would be better to leave it to the eldest son.”

As the content became completely incomprehensible, Ichimoku’s doubts grew.

‘You’re saying you’ll hand over my balls to the ambassador to take care of the reward?’

* * *

one side.

Inside the iron gate. A dark cave with only the soft light of a single night light spreading faintly.

There, Wi Jin-hak was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

To be exact, he was fighting deep in the world of imagination and the magic that had dug into his mind.

But the structure of the fight was different than usual.

Unlike before, when he had been fighting fiercely against the magical energy of the Burst Mara Sword Technique and suppressing his surging anger, he was merely observing.

-Kill that guy right now!!

– How dare you call me stupid!!!

Even as he listened to Magi’s anger ordering him to kill the youngest priest, Wei Jin-hak’s heart remained extremely calm.

Thanks to the youngest priest’s story, I realized that I didn’t need to worry about being called stupid.

If it had been words of comfort like, “You’re not stupid,” I might have been angry instead.

But, calling me stupid made me realize that at least I didn’t have to worry about it.

As the master’s great disciple, he was destined to become the leader.

Of course, there have been people who have said similar things before.

And most of them either died by their own hands, or unfortunately passed over without being killed thanks to the Master appearing just before they were about to be killed.

As Cheonma thought, fortune was needed to gain enlightenment through advice.

Because that advice only makes sense when it is most appropriate for a particular time or situation, when that advice can be effective.

Because Wei Jin-hak had already reached a state close to being de-magic. And because he had already caused a ruckus yesterday and let out all the anger that had been building up.

He was ready to hear the advice of the youngest priest.

At that perfect moment, which even Cheonma, who had been teaching and observing Wei Jinhak for decades, could not have predicted, Ilmok happened to offer such advice.

-Kill him!

– Kill all those who ignore me!

– Burn down this irrational world!!

Another self screaming in anger.

Magi runs through his blood vessels and strikes his brain according to the secrets of the Burst Mara Sword Technique.

However, Wei Jin-hak, unlike usual, just accepted and watched everything while maintaining the same attitude as Myeonggyeong Ji-su.

bang!!!

At one moment, the blocked path in my brain, unable to withstand the magic attack, opened up with a loud noise.

And because of the blocked blood vessels, the magical energy that had been condensed endlessly runs through the blood vessels of the entire body.

The immense force began to drive out the turbid energy that had been blocking the blood flow throughout the body, and as if that wasn’t enough, it also twisted the muscles and joints of the body.

Even in the midst of those intense waves of pain, Wei Jin-hak simply observed himself, forgot about the world, and focused on enlightenment.

At some point, the distortion of his body stopped and the magic that seemed to burn the world also calmed down and returned to his danjeon.

Pot!

Wi Jin-hak, who had attained enlightenment, opened his eyes.

It was the moment when I crossed the last remaining wall and entered the horse riding.

“It smells terrible.”

As Wei Jin-hak, who frowned slightly at the smell of filth and waste leaving his body, raised the stakes of the Burst Mara Sword Technique, a hot blast of energy shot out through his hand.

It was a strange sight.

Even as the flames burned away the filth and dirt that clung to his body, not a single burn appeared on his skin.

Wi Jin-hak, who was now able to perfectly control the magic of the Burst Mara Sword Technique, scratched his chin and thought.

‘Gather talent and place the right people in the right positions.’

Naturally, someone’s face came to mind.

“The youngest priest must grow up quickly. He will be my treasured possession in the future.”
