Side Story Episode 26. Burning (1)
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes, looking around, were colorless and transparent as always.
‘It’s much wider than I thought.’
The exact number of unit members was not given, but the minimum was said to be three hundred.
Then, it is said that it is a space that can easily accommodate 500 people, but when I visited it in person, it seemed that it could easily accommodate up to 700 people.
Of course, each person is not allocated one room. I heard that at most three or at most ten people had to stay in one room.
That wasn’t enough; it was an overabundance of consideration. I don’t know if it was right to set up a place like this given Shingyo’s current financial situation, but at least it didn’t seem like there would be any inconvenience in staying there.
After a short appreciation, he entered the unit.
“Stop.”
Inside the entrance, a demon spread around the area approached, radiating a unique, intimidating force from its entire body.
“This is Yacharyeong’s side battle unit. “Unauthorized mines are not allowed to enter.”
From the looks of it, it seemed like it was a pre-assigned water gate committee. I don’t know if we will become comrades in the future, but we will keep this place at least until it is officially established.
Lee Cheon-sang took out a nameplate and a letter from his arms.
Mine nodded after checking the nameplate he received.
“I have received the report. “Your name is Lee Cheon-sang. I heard you came here on the recommendation of the head of the Criminal Justice Department, is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
Mine opened the letter.
The letter contained a brief description and the seal of the head of the penal code.
Mine nodded.
“Go to room 1 on the third floor of Yacha Ilgak.”
After receiving the name plate and letter, Lee Cheon-sang immediately walked away.
Yacharyeong side story, Yachasaryeong was made up of three huge buildings. Among them, the large central building was most likely to house key figures from the unit.
On the way to the Yacha corner, Lee Cheon-sang slowly checked the surroundings.
‘As expected, it’s spacious.’
Perhaps because the area around the base had not been properly decorated yet, most of it was in its natural state.
The mountain behind was quite high and there were large hills on the left and right. At first glance, it was unsuitable as a camp because there were many side roads, but it didn’t seem that bad if it was within the new church.
After taking a close look at the entire area, Lee Cheon-sang went straight up to the third floor of the corner.
Perhaps because the building was built so high and strong, I could barely hear the footsteps of other people that I would normally hear. It was clear that good wood was used.
Lee Cheon-sang looked around the room.
‘three.’
The room he was assigned to was as large as the unit area.
Although it was not a private space, it was enough for five or six people to move freely. However, judging from the number of beds located far apart, it seemed that there were three people in total.
Lee Cheon-sang unpacked his luggage on the window seat.
The only luggage I had was a few sets of clothes, a dozen daggers, and two pairs of sturdy shoes. I had my purse in my arms, and since I was using a sword, I didn’t even need a sword.
Lee Cheon-sang sat down on the bed and immediately sat cross-legged.
Wooooow.
In an instant, the demon energy reacted and filled my entire body with strength.
Although I didn’t train for a long time, I always practiced martial arts except when I was sleeping. In addition, Geumgang Yacha magic, like most magic arts, is a magic technique that pursues movement rather than stillness, so it was definitely attached to the body during the process of training herbivory.
‘It’s okay.’
Right away, I trained until dawn this morning, consuming my magic energy to the bottom. But before I knew it, more than half of the dantian was filled with demonic energy.
Cultivate constantly, constantly search.
Although it is a magic attack, it may be because it is based on Buddhist martial arts, so the deeper the thinking, the more active the movement of the magic energy. For Lee Cheon-sang, who had almost no distracting thoughts, it could be said to be the best magic skill.
‘There’s no need for luck.’
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes, relaxed his cross-legged posture, and immediately left the unit. The plan was to eat first.
A restaurant has not yet been built in the unit. For now, we’ll have to go out and figure it out.
That was when he arrived at Homiru, the main building closest to the Night Death Headquarters.
“In a way.”
Lee Cheon-sang turned his head.
Surprisingly, Doheon was there.
“I thought you would be here by now. “I left without even having breakfast.”
As he was about to nod his head, Lee Cheon-sang quickly took the gun without saying a word.
There were quite a few eyes watching around. If a single demon does not bow down in front of the Great Lord of Gwangma, he will probably be viewed with suspicion.
Of course, the village people near Homiru did not recognize Doheon. He came dressed plainly, and no one would have thought that a high-ranking person in the civil war would come all the way here.
“Shall we go up?”
“yes.”
Doheon chuckled. It was unfamiliar to see Lee Cheon-sang being treated with respect unlike usual.
After a while.
The two climbed to the top floor of Homiru. Because of the time, there was no one except those on the second floor.
Doheon, who ordered the food, asked in a sharp tone.
“How is it?”
“What do you mean?”
“There’s no one around. “You can speak comfortably.”
“it’s okay.”
No matter how smart a person is, it is difficult to change habits. Lee Cheon-sang decided to change his speaking style for his future.
Doheon shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, it’s good to hear, even if it’s a little awkward.”
“… … .”

“Do you like where you live?”
“That’s enough.”
“I guess so. Civil Service… … No, the head of the criminal court said he would pay great attention to it.”
He was a person who was sure about handling this matter. He must have been assigned a comfortable room.
Doheon, who was looking at Lee Cheon-sang with a smile, suddenly sighed.
“I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean?”
“It was sent here in advance.”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“Isn’t that what I wanted? “It’s a place you have to come to anyway, so there’s no need to worry.”
Only the format of the engineering school has changed, but the tone of speech remains the same.
After seeing a familiar face, I felt relieved.
“As the commander of a unit, it was an unavoidable measure for the discipline and atmosphere of the unit. Of course you understand, but the person who was supposed to be responsible for you until the end handled things this way. “I don’t have the decency to look at you.”
Lee Cheon-sang understood Do-heon’s regret. But he couldn’t sympathize, either.
“Looking back, you were right. Maybe I thought it was easy for my unit members. So I guess I thought I could handle you well.”
“Regardless of who was right, I’m glad nothing happened.”
Doheon smiled.
“If someone else heard me now, they would be offended.”
“… … ?”
“It’s so mysterious that people speak. If you interpret it this way, it’s good, but if you interpret it that way, it can be off-putting. “The same words can make a difference depending on who accepts them.”
“I know.”
“But it must be difficult to sympathize, right?”
“yes.”
“Okay, just understanding is enough. “If you live intertwined with people, you will learn to empathize in the future.”
Doheon’s voice was filled with regret and concern.
Lee Cheon-sang read the emotions in his voice. And I understood why he was like this.
Then, rice came out.
“The mayor. “Let’s eat first.”
“All right.”
The two emptied their bowls in silence.
Homiru’s food boasted great taste. It was one of the most expensive base running games in the field, but fortunately, it was worth the money you paid for it.
After finishing eating, Lee Cheon-sang took out the bag from his arms.
“I’ll pay for this. “I came to see you and buy you a meal.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking at Do-heon waving his hands, nodded and packed up his suitcase.
“All right.”
“Well, it’s still hard.”
Lee Cheon-sang stood up without any response.
Doheon quenched his appetite.
“Are you going to wake up already?”
“When is the unit established?”
“Well, it’s not exact, but I heard it will take approximately 15 days.”
“All right.”
“Are you going to practice?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
Doheon asked with a smile.
“Is martial arts training fun?”
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been calm the whole time, flinched for the first time at the insignificant question. Because he couldn’t think of anything to reply for a moment.
And Doheon was secretly surprised by his reaction.
“I don’t know if it’s fun, but I know that I can’t survive if I don’t get stronger.”
“And if something wrong happens, you can’t stop it.”
“yes.”
“Okay, that’s enough. “Sorry for catching you busy.”
Lee Cheon-sang bowed his head.
“See you later.”
“Now you know how to say things like that.”
Lee Cheon-sang left behind a humorous joke and turned around to go down the stairs. She didn’t say anything kind until the end.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Doheon’s lips as he looked at the rough back.
I felt sad inside, but more than that, I was delighted by Lee Cheon-sang’s enthusiasm. Even if I learn about people and learn empathy in the future, that personality will not change.
‘… … Enthusiasm.’
Before I knew it, Lee Cheon-sang had left the first floor and was returning to his unit.
Doheon’s eyes grew deeper as he looked down at Lee Cheon-sang from the window on the top floor.
He recalled what happened in the bamboo forest three days ago.
‘omg!’
Doheon’s eyes grew wide as if they were torn.
‘That?!’
Saaaaagh!
The red energy that once appeared took control of Lee Cheon-sang’s hands in an instant.
It was red, but still translucent. However, every time Lee Cheon-sang took a step, it became slightly darker.
Do-heon looked into Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.
The look in his eyes was ambiguous as to whether he was absorbed or possessed by something. However, it did not look absolutely normal.
Paaaaaaaa!
Do-heon immediately jumped towards Lee Cheon-sang.
“mum… … !”
It was then.
hook!
Lee Cheon-sang, who changed his posture in an instant, came to Do-heon’s side and swung his fist.
It was an unexpected move, an unexpected blow. However, if he couldn’t react to this level of attack, he wouldn’t have been able to become the Gwangma Daeju.
Wow! Green onions!
In an instant, Do-heon grabbed Lee Cheon-sang’s wrist and placed his other hand on Lee Cheon-sang’s opposite shoulder. It was a move to block follow-up attacks.
hook!
Intense demonic energy surged from Lee Cheon-sang’s body. It was a more intense Geumgang Yacha magic.
“Was it you?”
Do-heon looked at Lee Cheon-sang with shaking eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes and face had already returned to normal.
“I thought you were an enemy.”
The characteristic blunt voice was also the same.
Doheon smiled and said.
“But where are your enemies?”
“He is like that too.”
“It looks like you’re quite upset. “If you can react immediately like this.”
“Bristled?”
“If not, I guess I was immersed in martial arts. If not even that… … .”
Do-heon stopped talking and let go of Lee Cheon-sang’s wrist.
A serious look appeared on Do-heon’s face as he stared at Lee Cheon-sang.
“Do you by any chance remember just now?”
“What?”
“In your hands…” … .”
“I know.”
“… … ?!”
“It was blood precipitation.”
Doheon’s face hardened.
“You decided not to take it out until you could handle it, right? Hemorrhage is dangerous! It’s a magical skill that even at my current level, I can’t touch. No matter how talented you are… … !”
“I didn’t use it properly.”
“what?”
“I didn’t have the heart to take out the blood vessel. “I felt like the Diamond Magic Fist wasn’t enough, so I was analyzing the shape of the Gwongak written on the Hyeolgangsu’s secret level.”
“… … !”
“It certainly seems like a dangerous magician. “When I see Gugyeol come out without the owner’s will just by touching it.”
Doheon swallowed.
“You were aware of it.”
“exactly.”
“Are you saying that just by analyzing my brother, blood flow was revealed?”
“I don’t know if it’s unfolded or not. Because I’ve never dug one before. However, it wasn’t Geumgangmagwon or Yachahyeoljang.”
At that time, I saw Doheon for the first time. The slight embarrassment that appeared on Lee Cheon-sang’s face.
“I think I should just forget about this magic trick.”
After the incident, Do-heon checked Lee Cheon-sang’s body for two days.
I believed it, but as expected, what Cheon-sang Lee said was true. There was no trace left behind in the unique, overdeveloped upper front.
And unfortunately, Doheon’s concerned behavior strangely calmed the mood of the entire unit.
Lee Cheon-sang read the atmosphere sensitively. He notified Doheon that he would leave the separate room on his own.
The result was now. Fortunately, the head of the criminal law had assigned Lee Cheon-sang to the Yasha headquarters in advance.
“Hyeokgangsu… … .”
Doheon closed his eyes.
‘Was I being too hasty?’
martial arts,
