Millenniu (千年雪参)
Now the fat gatekeeper hurried in, as if he was e next to him stood aardly They didn't seem to knohat to do about this unexpected turn of events The good thing was that he didn't throw hier
A little later, the fat gatekeeper came out and stated
“You come with me for a moment”
“Are we going to the head teacher?”
“No, I'll have to fix those dirty clothes before I allow you to meet the head teacher”
At first, I thought he'd take me to a dark secluded place and beat me up But a little while later he and I walked out to an inn don, and I was soon bathed in ater Confused, the fat gatekeeper took out clothes from somewhere and threw it at me
“Wash yourself clean If not, I am under fire as soon as possible”
The clothes suited h to wear When I followed the fat gatekeeper to the Blue Dragon Martial Academy, I found disciples everywhere
Curiosity could not be hidden from the many disciples Soled towards lanced at me
“Fro with a teacher Be careful what you say and do, because if you do so disrespectful, your hand will be cut off”
“What? Don't I ?”
“The e whether or not you will be accepted as a disciple”
It was likely to happen, so now I understood In fact, as a e each new member Perhaps it is a structure that a teacher decides whether a student has talent and quality, then the e later on whether or not to admit the student as an official disciple
“Sir, I am here”
“Come on in”
Squeaking sound
He opened the door of the wooden building, which had a peaceful arotea He was not a thoroughly green-colored young man, but a man in his mid-twenties I was a little surprised to learn that the head teacher was so young
He watched hed
“Did you put Bang Il down in an ar test? That's quite a surprise”
“…”
“Come and sit down Let’s just make ourselves at home for now”
A rattling sound
As the fat gatekeeper closed the door behind hi out, I approached without hesitation and sat down before the teacher The teacher's eyes flashed back a little Perhaps it was considered unusual to behave without any hesitation
Soon after the teacher said
“I aon Martial Academy, and what's your name, kid?”
“…!”
What?!
Like a lie, I stiffened at that moment I heard his name I was taken aback by the unexpected name
'Uh? What? Jin So Chung? Why do I recognise that name from somewhere?'
I stuttered back and replied
“Well, e near Plum Blossom courier company Do you perhaps have a specialty in the spear?”
He nodded in surprise at my question
“Yes, my master learned three kinds of weapons and has been called the 'Outstanding Trinity Master' but I did not have such talents, so I could only learn the arts of the spear”
“…”
I knew that the Jin So Chung was excessively modest
Since he was already at peak-grade, he would not be ashamed, even if he took a very active part in Murim The reason I was embarrassed was of another matter
Jin So Chung…
This is because he was an absoluteone of the top ten masters within the of whole Murim He was often referred to as the number-one spearhteousness knight of justice who slaughtered over one hundred evil guys He was athe top ten masters
Such a great person was sitting before me now
He said with curiosity
”But, Baek Woong, why do you think my preferred weapon is a spear? As you can see, there are various weapons as well as spears within this training room”
What do I say?
I thought for a while and made up my mind in time
“It is because of the strong firmness of your hands”
“Ho?”
He glanced at his hands, listening to hed his head off
“Hahaha… You are a genius Bang Il caught a big fish today”
I guess I hit the nail on the head In fact, I can tell the extent of one's training by looking at the strong flesh in one's hand, but I have no idea whether it is due to swordsmanshi+p or spearmanshi+p
It was just fro time, and it worked out well
I breathed a sigh of relief insaid
”Let's find out what it looks like How did you coood Heart Mantra? And ould you want to join us?”
That's the question that was expected I took a deep breath and answered calmly
”I lostat the house of the village chief One day, a third-grade bodyguard of a courier coht me Six Harmonies Swordsmanshi+p and Three Talents Heart Mantra I trained at my best for several years However, I wanted to explore the deeper ways of est and on Martial Academy”
This was the answer I’ve been thinking about over and over again duringor to find fault with Hearing ht deeply and said
”Stretch out your arm”
”Yes”
As I stretched out ers on my forearm For a while he paid close attention and then eventually said
“It’s a lot of Neigong How long have you been training?”
“It’s been about four years”
“Four years!! Well, you've been a valiant worker day and night It is admirable”
At the moment, I felt a little despondent
'He's understanding…'
Deep down, I orried that I would be suspected of being too e I became tested already with such sentiments I could not help it noever, it seemed bitter to see that a four-year excuse was easily accepted
The tireless work I had built up for forty-five years was really nothing He believed that this was the best way to build up Neigong with four years worth of hard training
Jin So Chung said again
“Fortunately, Three Talents Heart Mantra is a basic one, so there is no possibility of you falling into a state of deadly coma, even if you practise the other Heart Mantra From today you will be a disciple of 'first line'
“What is first line?”
“Under a e of all the disciples, and there are two other teachers under me The oldest disciples are 'third line,' followed by 'second line' Do you understand?”
“Yes sir”
His explanation for the request was briefly suon Martial Academy
