93 Chapter 92 (1/2)
Chun Haekwang could not help but become curious as he finished watering the plants.
”Come to think of it… is there something up today? Why did two female teachers come here early in the morning?”
It was the assistants' gathering that had the most rumors within the Academy that were widely spread. Chun Haekwang was also one of those assistants at the gathering, so he was able to hear a lot of things from other assistants.
There was a man named Baek Gook, who had found a hobby in creating questionnaires. Thanks to him, the gathering always had many topics to discuss. Out of many questionnaires, one of those that Baek Gook drafted, was a questionnaire about the most beautiful women of the Academy.
After thorough research about popularity amongst students, martial art prowess, and sheer beauty, a total of five female teachers were picked out and were nicknamed as the Hwachun Academy's Five Flowers.
Among those five, Ok Haemi and Tang Euna were two of those five.
”Anyway, today's a lucky day! I met two of the Five Flowers in the morning! Haha.”
”Woof?”
Deuk tilted his head, not understanding what Chun Haekwang was talking about. And that's when Chun Haekwang realized something.
”Oh! Come to think of it!”
Baek Gook also went on to research the most handsome men within the Academy, and these men were nicknamed as the Five Dragon Knights. Chun Haekwang was told that it was very likely that the next batch of Five Dragon Knights would include Kang Hyuk.
”I guess it is natural for him to be popular.”
”Who's popular?”
”Eeek!”
Chun Haekwang became startled as someone suddenly appeared behind him without any notice.
”Oh! Mr. Carpenter!”
It was Ji Chulmook. Kang Hyuk was away from the Academy to cure the drug poisoning of five students, so Chun Haekwang was alone while looking after the Yeonkyo Garden. As such, he had come across Ji Chulmook many times in the garden, even bringing him some homemade dishes. With that, they became quite close.
”What brings you down here?”
”I'm finished with the storage.”
”Oh! That's great news!”
”But, uh… isn't he here yet?”
Chun Haekwang immediately knew who Ji Chulmook was referring to.
”I think he'll be back late afternoon.”
”I see.”
Ji Chulmook sighed. The storage was finished, and the tools for gardening were fully loaded for Kang Hyuk to use. But all of this was not finished until Kang Hyuk was there to see it.
”So, what were you mumbling about anyway? Who's popular?”
”Oh… I was talking about Teacher Kang.”
Ji Chulmook became interested in Chun Haekwang's words.
”Teacher… Kang Hyuk?”
”Yes sir. I found him quite popular amongst the assistants lately.”
”Oh-oh! Is that so?”
”I mean, he's handsome, young, knowledgeable, and very kind. It's only obvious that he's popular.”
”Hahaha! That's quite right.”
Ji Chulmook nodded and reminisced.
At the time when Kang Hyuk was the Captain of the Quickstorm Regiment, the entire Hwachun Clan became quite noisy over the young Captain. But it wasn't because Kang Hyuk was young. The Quickstorm Regiment was created to be used and disposed of, so it did not matter if the leader of such a regiment was young or old. The reason why he became an issue was that he was very handsome.
All of the warriors were so engrossed in their training that none of them cared about their appearance. As such, all of the warriors of the Hwachun Clan were far from being good looking men and were not often liked by women. It was amongst such men when Kang Hyuk rose as a Captain of the Quickstorm Regiment.
All of the female warriors tried their best to have a peek on Kang Hyuk. Many of his men sighed at the sight. Ji Chulmook became so angry at this that he went to Kang Hyuk and blamed him for it.
”Hey, captain! I've had enough! This is too much!”
”What are you talking about?”
