Side Story Episode 21. Rationality and Fear (1)
Three days later, Sogong’s office.
“Hoo.”
Sogong’s eyes sparkled.
“So you went under the government’s control?”
“That’s right.”
Doheon answered neatly and drank his tea.
The corners of Sogong’s mouth rose slightly.
“Surprising.”
“I couldn’t help it.”
“No, not that one.”
“… … ?”
“You look a lot calmer than I thought. “With your personality, it may not be restless, but it’s normal for you to sigh or take a deep breath because you’re uncomfortable.”
Doheon chuckled.
“It already happened. “If it’s an irreversible situation, I have no choice but to do my best on the spot.”
Su Gong’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
‘Good?’
In the past six months, Doheon has changed a lot. From the moment he decided to change his religion, there were many times when I internally admired him as he boldly abandoned his previous stuffy and rigid appearance.
Still, there was one thing that didn’t change. It was just nature.
If it’s natural, it’s natural. I have lived my whole life with one principle in mind, but there is no way that the values I have built up over time will change just by making a resolution to change the world.
It was still the same now. However, if there is anything different from before… … .
‘You’re finally trying to get your feet wet in the mud yourself.’
Of course, if you listen to the story, you can tell that Lee Cheon-sang’s presence played a big role. If it weren’t for him, the Taoheon of the world would never have thought of going under the head of the Criminal Law.
However, whatever the reason, it was Doheon’s ability to go under without the suspicion of the criminal law party leader.
‘As expected, my eyes were right.’
On the contrary, I was glad that he moved for someone he trusted because it was very Dohun-like.
Sogong washed his mouth with a sip of tea and spoke in a laughing voice.
“I feel very reassured as a person who has made up his mind to that extent.”
“Why are you acting so uncharacteristic of yourself?”
“Hmph, now even if I praise you, you say something.”
Doheon scratched his head.
“By the way, are you doing well?”
“I have something to do.” “I’m just living like a fool.”
“Right.”
Sogong smiled as he saw Doheon nodding slightly and stroked his chin as if he remembered something.
“Hmm, head of criminal law… … .”
“why? “Is there anything wrong with it?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Sogong smiled sheepishly.
“I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to be the head of the criminal law department.”
Doheon’s eyes lit up.
“If you join us, I can ease my emotional burden.”
“How can you recommend me?”
“I wish I could do that too, but I treated you like useless chaff.”
Sogong pouted his mouth.
“I’m disappointed.”
Doheon burst out laughing.
“I’m sorry. “I tried to get over it and ended up going there.”
Sogong smiled again.
“Well, for broader information, it would be better to go into a different shade.”
“Maybe we could collide?”
For a moment, Sogong’s face became serious.
“It can’t be helped at that time.”
Doheon, who was staring at Sogong, nodded heavily.
“okay. “That too.”
The two men were working together on the great cause of overthrowing Protestantism.
Although we are smiling cheerfully now, if we make even one mistake, we will fall into the abyss. In other words, it is something you risk your life for.
For the same dream and the same goal, you have to do what you need to do no matter what happens around you.
Even if my friend dies.
“Well, that won’t happen in the near future. At least for now. “If we are lucky enough to see the day of reform together, then let’s raise a toast together.”
“Come on? “As if I were going to die tomorrow.”
“You could die not tomorrow, but even half a day from now. Who would have thought you would be taken away by the head of the criminal court so quickly?”
“That too.”
When I heard this, it felt real again.
I realized that I was different from before, and… … That death is not that scary.
“Enough of the dirty talk.”
Sogong regained his characteristic cheerful expression.
“So you’re saying you’re going to appoint this guy as a Yasha Commander?”

“That’s it.”
“It might be better to work in a side story. On the contrary, looking at his personality, I think he would have an accident in a civil war.”
“Probably not.”
“huh?”
Sogong’s eyes widened at Doheon’s confident answer.
“I don’t know if he doesn’t have any other goals, but the moment a clear goal is set, he will work hard to achieve it.”
“Hoo, did he have that side?”
“Just looking at the matter of Toumajang, didn’t he live a great life as a Touma?”
“Did you think it was so great that you made an accident at the last minute?”
“That should be considered force majeure. Plus, the response was great.”
Su Gong shook his head resolutely.
“There is no such thing as force majeure in our work. There is no need for goals or abilities. He’s different from ordinary people. “No matter what organization you are in, you will have a major accident at least once.”
Doheon tried to deny it, but soon ended up nodding his head.
‘Yeah, maybe.’
Lee Cheon-sang knew how to accurately see how the official duties would turn out.
Simply put, it is the realm of cognition and insight. To Lee Cheon-sang, who learned the world in his own way, people would seem like slaves to their emotions.
Just as we know that a person holding a spear is good at stabbing people, and a person holding a sword is good at swinging and cutting people.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at people’s emotions and situations and figured out the other person’s future movements.
It is indeed an incredible ability, but at the same time, it is consistent with the meaning of Lee Cheon-sang being extraordinary.
It is unusual in a good sense, but it is also unusual in a bad sense. If Lee Cheon-sang had known how to feel emotions as purely as others, it would have been difficult for her to gain such insight.
Lee Cheon-sang’s unique sense of heterogeneity cannot be hidden by hiding it. Just like the Tumas of the same Euljo group did.
As Sogong said, accidents will happen at any time.
“I will be careful. “I think we need to talk about that.”
“I don’t know if we can deal with it by talking about it, but… … “Anyway, it’s your person, so treat it well.”
“Thank you for the advice.”
Doheon nodded heavily, and before he knew it, the face of Sogong, who had half-raised his body, was close to his ear.
“be careful.”
“what?”
“Before sending him to Yacharyeong, you will take care of him in your own way. Of course, you owe that guy. but… … .”
“… … ?”
“Accidents always happen around us.”
* * *
Paaang!
Lee Cheon-sang’s stance as he punched his fist looked very firm.
Since the lower body is strong, even the punches that are thrown out have proper force. Just as a good lower body makes for a good waist, Lee Cheon-sang’s abdomen and waist were also good for giving elasticity to fighting techniques.
If used properly, it is powerful enough to render even a top-class expert incapable of combat with a single blow.
‘It’s definitely better than before.’
Lee Cheon-sang calmly acknowledged his progress.
At the same time as I trained Geumgang Yacha Demonic Technique, the quality of my demon energy increased several times.
Thanks to the magic energy that was raised to the limit of what the body could endure, the durability and flexibility of the body also increased. Although his muscles did not grow, the destructive power of his single fist increased several times thanks to his body being able to receive more force.
‘But I don’t think there’s any expert who would welcome this fist.’
Ideal posture, ideal timing, ideal distribution of power.
Overwhelming strength is needed to defeat an opponent at any time and at any moment.
I didn’t have that much power right now. In that case, I would have to pay attention to posture, flow of power, and everything else to be able to use the power of a single strike, but I couldn’t take all of that into consideration in the split second when my life came and went.
‘It would be possible if you polish it so that it pops out reflexively. But to do that, you must immediately understand all of the other person’s reactions and keep your body in a posture that responds to them.’
Regardless of the level of the realm, such a thing would be impossible for anyone. There are probably tens of thousands of postures you need to learn.
‘Then there is only one answer.’
We must find something fundamental that allows us to demonstrate optimal posture and strength in a split second.
‘You need strength to do something. But the world does not wait until I grow stronger.’
In other words, even if you were to face an inevitable life-or-death battle with a peak master right now, you couldn’t just let him die just because he was weak.
However, there is no need to rush to gain strength. If you try to achieve something in a hurry, you will inevitably miss something.
So the world is difficult.
What I need right now is not in my hands. It takes hard work and luck to get him. Still, he can disappear into vain at any time.
The world and life have always been like that.
Faaagh!
Lee Cheon-sang, who was suffering in the same posture as he raised his fist, began to move again.
My body is definitely different now. It accepts speeds and pressures that the existing body cannot withstand.
‘There is no need for much change. I’m still weak. Even if it’s impossible to get a one-hit kill, if you don’t win within three rounds, you’ll have a tough time ahead.’
Paang! Paaang!
Short blast sounds rang out one after another.
“Whoa.”
It was some time later that Lee Cheon-sang’s dual fists, which had been violently striking the air with single blows, were naturally released.
Lee Cheon-sang slowly took a deep breath and looked down at his hands.
“I don’t know.”
Doheon said. Throw away the knife and start learning with the knives.
Lee Cheon-sang still didn’t know what that meant.
‘Gwangma Daeju’s eyes towards me were sincere. I wouldn’t have said that for nothing.’
In addition, although he was excellent in the use of true energy and mental techniques, his overall knowledge of martial arts was much lower than that of others.
On the other hand, Do-heon was a man who had learned all kinds of martial arts since he was young, participated in numerous battles, and became a master of the Gwangma Daeju based on his skills alone.
‘He is a person you can trust.’
Looking at it objectively, Do-heon was the first person, excluding his adoptive father, to treat him well without conditions.
I don’t know what kind of favor he received from me, but even considering that, I don’t think anyone would blindly show favor like this.
Phew.
The wind blowing through the bamboo forest was cool.
Lee Cheon-sang calmly looked around.
‘That won’t work.’
The bamboo forest here was quite large, but there were bamboos all over the place, so it was not a good place for omnidirectional training.
I don’t know if it was at Doheon’s level, but at least it was impossible for Lee Cheon-sang now.
Lee Cheon-sang recalled Do-heon’s words.
– In most cases, you will train here. If you feel frustrated, you can practice in the training hall. I told the lieutenant. However, since unit training ends at Sulsi (戌時), use it starting at Hashi (亥時). There will be no night training for the time being, so it will be enough to use until I am drafted to the military post.
I had no intention of going out for a while, but now was definitely the time to get busy.
Lee Cheon-sang left the bamboo forest without hesitation.
It took a short walk from the bamboo forest to the Gwangmagak training ground.
This is the extent of the area used by one unit. I once again realized how huge an organization the Heavenly Demon Church is.
That was when he arrived at the Gwangmagak training hall.
“Who are you?”
A sharp voice came from somewhere.
I turned my head and saw three sweaty men. Each of them had a sword in their hand, and their sharpness was superb, as if they were in the midst of training.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was quietly looking at them, climbed onto the training ground and relaxed his shoulders.
The magical energy soared in the eyes of the men and the four members of the Gwangmadae Corps.
“I asked who it was.”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“I heard you can start training with Hash.”
“… … ?”
“Pay attention.”
