Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 34

Recruitment (3)

By the time we arrived at the headquarters of the Cheonmasin Sect after two days of traveling, the sun was already setting.

And as soon as I arrived at the headquarters, the Master called me.

The nominal reason was that he wanted to have dinner with me for my hard work.

“Hehehe. How was your experience?”

As expected, it was the teacher’s daily routine to bring up work topics at company dinners.

As my stomach growled, I put down the chopsticks I had been using to pick up the food and calmly opened my mouth.

“I was able to find some room for improvement, Master.”

“Wow. Looks like there are more than one or two.”

I explained to the teacher, who was looking at me with interest, what I had seen at Gochahyun.

I’m talking about the side effects of teaching children magic and the way the magician went wild.

“… It seems that we need to punish the Gochahyun’s servant.”

“There was no need to do that. Hwajunghyeon’s Buntaju didn’t go wild, but it was obvious that he was embarrassed.”

“Hmm. Now that I hear it, those who went to other prefectures to inspect also said similar stories. They said that the teachers were having a hard time teaching children in groups.”

“Yes. If one or two people cause problems, it’s their problem, but if similar problems occur in many places, it means that the system is not functioning properly.”

“So, what was the solution you came up with?”

“First of all, we need a standard for selecting a dean who will teach. In any case, there is no need for a teacher to step in to teach children letters. Isn’t it true that the level of martial arts or years of experience is not important?”

“I see.”

“Therefore, the dean should be selected based on the side effects of the magic they have learned. Those who have learned magic related to anger, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder should be excluded, and it would be better to have those who are closer to mania or apathy teach.”

When the teacher nodded to my explanation, I continued speaking.

“Of course, that alone is not enough to completely control children. And the people who teach them can become mentally stressed and have problems.”

Since all those who learned magic suffered from mental illness, there was no way to know what kind of terrible things would happen if they were driven mentally.

That’s why I had to lead them in a way that if they just followed the system, everything would go well.

“So, we need to give children some leeway in their education. Children have a limited concentration, so it would be right to conduct classes in exactly two sessions, with a 45-minute class followed by a 15-minute break.”

This was a concept taken from modern educational curricula.

Even in modern times, elementary school students have 40 minutes of class and 10 minutes of break. High school students have 50 minutes of class and 10 minutes of break.

However, since there is no concept of ‘minutes’ here, it was cut into appropriate units of each (15 minutes).

“In addition, in one class, you only teach one phrase of the Thousand Character Classic. That is, four characters twice. In total, you only teach eight characters per day.”

“Isn’t that too little?”

“If you learn only eight characters a day, you can read the Thousand Character Classic in one hundred and twenty-five days. If you speed up the progress a little at the end, it means you can read it three times in one year.”

In addition, we discussed with the teacher what to do if the child does not listen.

As I advised Ko Cha-hyun, instead of forcibly taking them, send them back home and have them scolded by their parents.

“Hmm. I guess it’s to reduce the mental pressure on those who teach children.”

“Yes.”

The teacher nodded as if he understood and asked.

“So, after about an hour of training, the children are sent home?”

I shook my head.

What I have explained to you so far are the solutions that came to my mind when I first saw the Buntaju run wild in Gochahyun.

And thanks to the damn side effects of the Talhonmujeonggeom, I still had a few more thoughts that came to mind.

“After about an hour of training, it would be a good idea to proceed with basic martial arts training and external skills training.”

“!?”

For the first time, surprise appeared on the Master’s face.

“Are you saying that we should teach magic to the children of ordinary citizens?”

“It’s basic martial arts and external skills, not magic. Master. If children learn sports and basic tormenting techniques from a young age, it will be of great help when they grow up and do physical work. It can also increase the possibility of discovering talented people.”

“Hoo. So you’re saying that you’re going to teach basic martial arts, and then select children who show talent and teach them magic.”

“Yes. We will teach the Thousand Character Classic for one year, and the doctrine of the new religion for another year, so we can watch the children for a total of two years. The local branch leaders will teach them for two years and select children with outstanding talent and report to the religious order.”

If we were to use a modern analogy, the current method of training talent in the Demonic Cult would be similar to elite sports.

And I was trying to make this a kind of lifestyle exercise.

As the number of children training in martial arts increases, the possibility of discovering talented children will increase.

“Hmm. Then, in addition to a doctrine that is lowered to a level that children can study, we also need to prepare basic martial arts and external arts to teach children.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve caught about twenty deserters who have learned military service.”

This was the reason why he dragged those bandits along, knowing that they were deserters from the military.

Magic is a magical martial art that anyone can easily learn and easily raise their level.

However, it contained terrible side effects. It was not something that could be indiscriminately taught to children.

On the other hand, the military’s martial arts were likely organized from the basic level to be taught to conscripts.

Also, in addition to that.

“If there is no one among the new religious groups who can serve as the dean in an area, it would be a good idea to send them.”

They were all-rounders when it came to teaching children, compared to the mentally ill Minds.

And finally.

“Children have limited concentration. If you only focus on training, problems may arise, so it would be better to conduct training for about half an hour and then have some play time at the end. This is meant as a reward for following the lesson well.”

As I said that, I spread out the contents that I had drawn and organized in a booklet in advance.

A ball made by applying glue to an animal’s urinary bladder and adding things like string or dry grass.

And the games where you kick the ball with your feet, or throw it and hit each other. It was an explanation of soccer and dodgeball.

The concept of ‘school’ that I came up with was the result of mixing the side effects of the Talhonmujeonggeom and modern memories.

While teaching children martial arts and sports, in addition to basic character education (here, the doctrine of the Demonic Cult), and finally, games that children can play appropriately.

The only hope for working couples raising children with infinite stamina who only fall asleep after running around all day.

It has now begun to spread to foreign countries, including the United States.

It was a Taekwondo academy.

After that, Ilmok and Cheonma continued their conversation over dinner.

It was time to discuss the details of the system proposed by Ilmok.

For example, when the Buntaju selects the most talented children from each village. What kind of award will be given to the Buntaju of the region that produced many children?

Or, on the contrary, if you randomly recommend children to receive an award, what disadvantages will you face, etc.

So, after that horrible time of talking about work and not knowing whether food was going into my mouth or my nose,

While Cheonma was lost in thought for a moment at his place of work after returning home, a guest came to visit him.

“The head of the temple meets with the Heavenly Demon.”

The Guardians are a group in charge of protecting the Demonic Cult’s major facilities and high-ranking figures, and the Guardians’ leader is also one of the most skilled guards.

At the visit of such a apologist, Cheonma stroked his beard and asked.

“What are you doing at this late hour?”

“This time, I heard the story from Gwanmuyeol and Janghoe, who were escorting Prince Ilmok, and came here in a hurry.”

“Hmm. I wonder what story you heard.”

The Hogyo Wonju explained to Ilmok about how he had been attacked by the Gochahyun Buntaju and encountered bandits.

“Also, Prince Ilmok was attacked by a wild prince before. Therefore, for the sake of Prince Ilmok’s safety, it would be dangerous to entrust his protection to just one concubine. Your Majesty.”

Cheonma nodded at the explanation of the cult leader.

‘Certainly. That child is leading the change, so we need to prepare for danger.’

I thought it was safe since he had only just started learning magic and had only been around for about four months, but for some reason, accidents and incidents kept happening around him.

It seemed that the child was the one who led the change, whether it was the incident during the time of his first disciple, Wei Jinxue, or the problem with the Hyukryeon family.

Because whenever there is change, conflict is bound to arise.

“If you do that, who do you plan on attaching?”

“I think it would be a good idea to assign the two who worked together this time as your full-time escorts. Since you’ve already been together for four days, wouldn’t it be more comfortable for you too?”

Cheonma nodded at the suggestion of the orthodox monk.

“Please do so.”

* * *

After finishing his meeting with Cheonma, the head monk returned to the monastery instead of his own quarters, as if he had some remaining work to do.

And while I was there reading and checking a few letters.

“Come in.”

In the midst of the silence, as the head monk spoke into the empty space, the door opened carefully and Han In-yeong entered the room.

It was late at night. The sky was completely dark, so the faint candle on the priest’s desk only illuminated the area around him.

The monk opened his mouth towards the man whose face was hidden in the shadows.

“Starting tomorrow, you will be assigned as the youngest prince’s personal bodyguard.”

“I will obey your orders.”

The head monk, who saw the man taking the lottery ticket through the shadows, opened his mouth again.

“Hani, from now on, you will monitor and report on Confucius’s every move. Whether he is a rascal who can be left alone or a future obstacle that needs to be dealt with. Also, if you must get rid of him, you will need to devise a way to avoid getting your tail stepped on.”

This time, when that man left the headquarters with Ichimoku, it was a good idea to deal with him.

However, if that man was so directly involved, there was a risk that he himself would be exposed.

In addition to that.

‘If it’s Cheonma, it’s highly likely that he prepared something else in addition to the two I mentioned.’

Since there was a possibility that there was a hidden escort that we were unaware of, we decided to just watch for now.

They need to find a way to deal with it without being exposed.

It wasn’t impossible, since they had such close escorts that they could monitor every move.

And I had already dealt with it twice.

Because of his outstanding talent, there was a fourth prince who leaked information and got himself killed by the Zhongyuan faction, and there was a fifth prince who disguised himself as a Zhu Huaipma and dealt with him because he noticed their tails.

It was not difficult to cover it up, as there were two sons, the second and seventh, who died alone without even having to deal with them.

The head monk, who was recalling his memories from that time, asked the man in the darkness.

“Now that I think about it, you’ve been together for the past four days, so I guess you’ve gotten a grasp of it to some extent. What are your thoughts on observing the youngest Confucius?”

The man in the dark answered, recalling the scene he had seen in Hwajeonghyeon.

“To put it nicely, he was good at improvising and agitating.”

The way he captured all the bandits and said he killed them all without changing his expression.

In addition, the man frowned as he recalled the way he had incited the townspeople to test him without any hesitation, even though he had kept his mouth shut out of gratitude.

The image of them being treated well while begging for a drink in Gochahyeon and the image of them being teased by others came to mind.

“And to put it badly, he was something of a conman.”

It was called incitement and improvisation, but it was to the point where lies would come out automatically as soon as he opened his mouth.
