107 Chapter 106 (1/2)
If one thought about it, perhaps most warriors were weak in numbers.
Of course, the Jegal Family was an exception since war tactics and strategies couldn't be done without numbers.
Chun Haekwang felt a hundred times more comfortable working out in the garden rather than calculating numbers. He was groaning for a long time as he heard something next to him.
Turning to the side, Ha Gojun was jotting down something on the paper with a brush.
Haekwang became startled. It was because he thought Gojun was making a mess on documents he had to report.
”W-what are you doing?”
”Oh? I'm sorry. I thought that the calculations on this document were wrong, so I re-calculated them in my unique way.”
The document in front of Ha Gojun was the one that Chun Haekwang had finished processing. It was also a very important document to be posted directly to the Principal.
Chun Haekwang suddenly fluttered before his eyes when he heard that the document had been miscalculated.
”T-the calculation of the document was wrong?”
”Yes.”
”Gi-give it to me!”
Chun Hakwang re-calculated the document and soon found out that he was indeed wrong. Ha Gojun was right to calculate.
”You said you were nineteen, but how did you find this error?”
Ha Gojun answered the question with a shy look.
”Since I was young, I liked numbers.”
Chun Haekwang took the documents he was handling and handed them to Ha Gojun.
”Try this.”
Ha Gojun, who saw it, easily scribbled a few letters on a blank piece of paper and soon calculated the answer.
It was much faster than he was.
Without rolling the calculator, Ha Gojun calculated what Chun Haekwang had been struggling so far in a short time and gave the answer.
It wasn't just that. Ha Gojun began to process documents that he couldn't do even if he had hours in just minutes.
”Are you even human?”
Eventually, he screamed in surprise.
Kang Hyuk heard the whole story and noticed Ha Gojun.
”Gojun.”
”Yes, Teacher.”
”Do you like working with papers?”
Ha Gojun answered the question immediately.
”Yes, teacher. I like them.”
The callus on his hands was still firm.
It was evident that he survived desperately by fighting and killing in the gladiator ring over the years. How he survived such a long time, Kang Hyuk finally seemed to know why.
He had a brain that others did not have, even based on physical strength and tenacity. His judgment and quick calculation of the situation were his weapons.
It was an ability that would be of great help if he became a warrior.
”Do you like fighting?”
”No.”
Ha Gojun was adamant. Kang Hyuk didn't have to recommend the path if he didn't want it.
Kang Hyuk sat in the yard and saw Ji Myung looking his way. Now that Ji Myung decided to stay in Nakyang, a good idea came to Kang Hyuk.
'This could make me speak proudly to Ha Dukyung if he comes out in my dreams! I wanted to yell at him one day, but right now, it's only possible in my dreams.'
He then looked at Ha Gojun.
”Gojun.”
”Yes. Teacher?”
”Why don't you become my assistant?”
”An assistant...?”
”I need an assistant in charge of the paperwork.”
Chun Haekwang then said, holding Ha Gojun's hands.
”I need you too!”
He seemed to be tired of numbers.
”But Bhante and Goyun...”
Kang Hyuk laughed at Ha Gojun's hesitation.
”You don't have to worry about it. Demon Destroying Monk is staying in Nakyang.”
