Episode 90. grow up (5)
“What?! What is this?”
“… … .”
“I can’t help but be surprised that you’ve come to such a humble place in the world.”
“Are you busy?”
“It’s my job, it always is. But is it a big deal to be busy? The great defense law, like no one else, has arrived!”
Ho Yo-seong greeted the talk with a fuss.
“Sit here. It’s soft and fluffy, so it’s a good support.”
“Then excuse me.”
“What kind of tea would you like? This time, a good wall painting came in. Shall I give it to you? Or alcohol?”
“… … .”
“Kyahaha! I forgot the nature of the Great Law for a moment! I will colonel anything!”
You’re still a mad man
Mudam, who commented inwardly, looked around.
Ho Yo-seong’s office was covered with all sorts of documents, bamboo sheets, and old books.
Still, if you were a Protestant general, you could decorate your office in your own way, but I didn’t see anything like that at all.
Mudam thought it was not as bad as that aspect of general military. A personality that values efficiency rather than being buried in formality is truly not bad.
It’s a problem if you don’t wear that formality too much.
“Does it smell good? It’s because I’ve got epilepsy. I don’t know if I did well.”
“Thank you.”
“Khew! I heard that I am grateful to the Great Hobeop, and today this person’s luck is very good, great!
I need to travel around a lot today. do you know I’ll pick up even the pieces of the golden treasure!”
It was an incredibly frivolous look.
If left unattended, it would make a fuss until the day dawned. Mudam immediately opened his mouth.
“How is your work?”
“haha! It’s always the same, well.”
“Right.”
“Yes.”
“… … .”
“huh? Why?”
Mudam could not open his mouth easily.
Ho Yo-seong snapped his fingers.
“Ah, I have something to say, but I didn’t want to get straight to the point, so I was going to open the door by talking about life in the world.
It’s a situation where you can’t easily open your mouth because this demanding gun commander isn’t usually frivolous, right?”
“… … .”
“Right?”
Reading people’s minds too well is also a problem.
After drinking the tea calmly, Mudam opened his mouth.
“I heard that you met with the Three Princes not too long ago.”
“ah? That rumor has reached Daehobeop-nim’s ears.”
“How was it?”
“Eh? What do you mean all of a sudden? How was it?”
“I mean literally. How was the Three Gongja?”
Receiving Mudam’s question, Yoseong Ho recalled the adage that the world goes round and round.
‘I never thought I’d hear the same question as the one I asked the Lord of Joy.’
What’s even funnier is that I have no choice but to give a similar answer to the one given by Wonjoo Hwanhee.
“Is there anything you want to do? It’s hard to understand everything about a person with one look.”
“You are right. That is why I am now asking General Commander, who is said to have the best discernment in the school.”
You make me speechless.
Ho Yo-seong, who had been quietly examining Mu-dam’s face, asked.
“Why are you suddenly asking about the Three Gongja?”
Mudam’s eyes deepened.
“Two days ago, the Three Gongja were called by the master and went to the Demon Shrine.”
“So what?”
“The headmaster taught the Three Gongja for as much as half a day.”
“… … !”
This was truly unexpected.
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes deepened as well.
“Is it for half a day?”
“exactly. And that… … .”
“This is a privilege that no successor has ever received.”
“exactly.”
After a moment of silence, Ho Yo-seong shook his head.
“It’s amazing, but does that matter?”
“The battle for succession is none of our business. Everything will be done according to the will of the headmaster.”
“So what?”
Mudam’s face hardened.
“It’s not a matter of getting involved in who the successor is, but it’s because we can’t sit idly by when the balance of internal affairs is disrupted.”

“… … .”
“I heard that you opened the heavenly horse spear to the Three Gongja.”
“That’s right.”
“I will tell you simply. The commander-in-chief has gone too far.”
Ho Yoseong smiled.
“It may seem excessive.”
“You mean the general doesn’t think so?”
“yes.”
“How?”
“Now I see, the Great Hobeop came to rebuke this man before worrying about the balance of domestic affairs.”
“I do not have the authority, experience, or wisdom to rebuke the commander-in-chief. However, as the chairperson of the Ho Court, I have only come to express my concern to the General Military Commander, who is at the apex of school politics.”
“In other words, the question of what kind of person the Samgongja is is an extension of the question of whether he is a person worth opening the Cheonma Byeongchang even if he is forced to do so.”
“It’s similar.”
Ho Yo-sung cut it off.
“He’s someone you don’t need to open up to.”
Mudam’s eyebrows twitched.
“Then it’s even more out of the question. Why open the Cheonma Byeongchang to those who do not qualify… … .”
“It is not necessary to be a recruit to someone who is already at the forefront. So the Three Gongja did not need the Cheonma Byeongchang.”
“… … !”
Mudam’s face hardened visibly. He hadn’t expected that the commander-in-chief would rate the Samgongja so highly.
“He is the person who said that he did not need to join the Cheonma Byeongchang himself. Even so, I put the trading item called the Cheonma Byeongchang on the scale.”
“Can I hear the reason?”
“Because in exchange for giving the other person unnecessary items, I can talk to him alone and talk a lot.”
“… … !”
“I don’t know who the Sam Gongja is. But the conversation that day helped me understand him to some extent.”
“… … .”
“Did you say I was the one who reached the pinnacle of school politics? no.
I am a person who is not worthy of such a vessel. However, I am a person who prepares a large scale weight by identifying the personnel in the school, just as I played the scales with Samgongja.
I want the headmaster to measure the scales well.”
Ho Yo-seong lowered his head.
“Don’t worry too much, we’re trying to make sure that the Great Protection Act doesn’t happen.”
Mudam looked at Hoyoseong with slightly surprised eyes.
Ho Yo-seong’s face was serious. And it was true.
He wasn’t the one who usually showed off his frivolous side. Looking at the senior who sincerely cares about Shingyo, he also engages in conversation with a serious attitude as a general military commander.
It was because he knew that Mudam did not come just to find fault with him, and that he came here because he was sincerely concerned about the Protestant religion.
Mudam, who had been quietly looking at Ho Yo-seong, took a fist.
“This man misunderstood the military commander. I apologize.”
Horrified, Ho Yo-seong stood up and waved his hand. It was a look of genuine bewilderment.
“Why are you doing this? don’t do this It’s hard to handle this.”
“no. I had a preconceived notion of the general. I only looked at you lightly on the subject of not having a proper conversation.”
Mudam lowered his head again.
“I sincerely apologize.”
Ho Yo-seong put on an expression that said he couldn’t stop.
I’m stubborn and I’m weak to good people, this senior.
“I’m sorry I only served you tea, even though you took the time to come. I will see you one day.”
“You don’t have to.”
Mudam smiled slightly. She had a rather awkward face, as if she had never made such an expression in her life.
“This person will stop by once in a while, so I would appreciate it if you could treat me to a cup of tea like this.”
“What?! Do you intend to consume my precious tea leaves?”
“… … I hope you don’t make such wicked jokes.”
After saying that, Mudam left the office.
Soon after, Ho Yo-seong slumped down in a chair and pressed his temples.
“This is true, the life of the Protestant Church has been very exciting lately.”
A lively conversation with So Yeon-sim, and a sweet and bloody one-on-one meeting with the Three Gongja.
Now, we are discussing the future of Mudam and Protestantism, which we have never had in private.
‘But what… … .’
Ho Yoseong smiled.
“Is this fun too?”
* * *
Seo Liang, who had been locked in his room, opened the door and came out after three days.
His appearance, which had not been eaten, washed, or cheap, was truly worth seeing. The area under his eyes had turned black, as if he hadn’t slept.
Considering his powerful internal energy and his nearly perfect body, it was possible to see how intensely he had been thinking about it for three days.
“Ughhh!”
Seeing Xu Liang stretching to the fullest, Ma Dong-pil approached in a hurry.
“Confucius!”
“Yes? Uh, it’s Dongpil.”
“How are you feeling? Are you okay?”
“Well, right before I die. I don’t think it’s been a long time since I’ve been this tired from head rolling.”
“Even if you have a simple meal, then close your eyes.”
“Oh, I think so anyway. By the way, the crazy lord?”
“Are you talking about the great lord?”
“Then, is there any other crazy Daeju besides her? Has he gone?”
“Ah, yes. I haven’t been there once since Confucius left the door.”
“okay? good… … no Couldn’t he be mad? What if he gets angry and then makes a fuss again?”
Ma Dong-pil shook his head.
“He doesn’t even have the hair around him to do that.”
It seems that this guy has been out of school for quite some time.
“Anyway, it was good. no one to bother Let’s ask Aenghwa right away and eat and sleep… … huh?”
Shiliang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The eyes looking at him were unusual, so Ma Dong-pil flinched involuntarily.
“Look at him?”
“… … yes?”
“How many days has it been since I locked myself in my room?”
“Three days have passed, Gongja.”
“Three days… … .”
It’s been longer than I thought.
“It’s only been three days, but that’s about it, right?”
“yes?”
Seo Liang glanced at Ma Dong-pil’s girdle. He looked at the Muk Royal Sword hanging from his waist belt.
The Mukwang Sword was the same as when I first brought it. When I was in that sword armor that I don’t know how it was forged, not a single point of magic was spilled.
“Pull out your sword.”
“Are you talking about the sword king sword?”
“Then, are there any other swords besides King Muk? Pull it out, hurry up.”
Although he was taken aback by the sudden request, Ma Dong-pil obediently drew his sword.
Whoops.
Powerful demonic energy that is emitted as soon as it is pulled out.
But there was nothing special about it. Mukwanggeom was showing almost the same figure as when he first saw it.
However, Xu Liang’s eyes were serious as he looked at the Mukwang sword. In that serious atmosphere, Ma Dong-pil felt nervous.
After a while.
“You mean you’re not a recruit for nothing?”
“… … ?”
“No, not recruits, horsemen. Anyway, it’s a crazy thing. If that’s not the case… … .”
Xu Liang glanced at Ma Dong-pil.
“Your efforts were so fierce. Maybe it’s both.”
“… … sorry. I couldn’t help but understand what Confucius was saying… … .”
“Follow me.”
Seo-ryang walks up to the gymnasium without any explanation.
Ma Dong-pil followed him unknowingly. I was worried about Confucius’ body, but the atmosphere he gave off was so serious that it was difficult to say the word rest easily.
Eventually, the two stood facing each other in the center of the gymnasium.
“… … .”
silence for a moment.
Xu Liang, who looked up at the sky without a word, immediately nodded.
“Well, because I can’t let you know forever.”
Xu Liang turned his gaze back to Ma Dong Pil.
Ma Dong-pil swallowed his saliva involuntarily. It was the first time he had seen Seo Liang’s eyes that go back and forth between seriousness and boldness.
“You are strong enough, but still not enough to protect me. It’s hard to see him die first in the name of protecting him.”
“… … ?”
“I saw the virtues of Lee Wangjisa, you should also look at my virtues.”
“yes?”
“It’s half a day. I will raise your level in half a day.”
Ma Dong-pil was surprised.
It’s not because they say that you can raise your level in half a day.
It’s surprising, but if it were Xu Liang, then it would be. It’s not because he’s a samgongja, but because he believes in his skills.
There was another reason why he was embarrassed.
“Are you okay though?”
“I bet you’re not worried about my physical condition right now, are you? Even as it is now, I can overpower you within five points, man.”
“That is true, but… … I just… … .”
“what’s the problem?”
Ma Dong-pil coughed slightly.
“Didn’t you say don’t agonize and move forward until you reach your limit?”
“whatever?”
“yes?”
“You move on. I will be by your side to help you.”
“that… … .”
“Are you sure you want to say that the power you grew with the help of others is not entirely yours?”
Xu Liang snorted.
“Me too, but you also have a long way to go up the stairs. If your eyes are focused on the word ‘growth,’ you shouldn’t be so arrogant.”
“ah… … .”
“The teacher’s teachings, battle experience, and the advice of a close friend. All of that is a driving force for growth.
It’s a master’s world to gain enlightenment even while eating or pooping, so why are you so hesitant? It’s still a million years too early for you to worry about that.”
Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.
“If you do, you will lose your temper… … .”
“That word itself is arrogant. Think that way and come to it.”
Sureureung.
Xu Liang pulled out the Chilyado and held it.
“Like I said, I’m just helping. If you can’t extract the power within you within half a day, I’ll interpret that as your will in the end.”
A look of tension crossed Ma Dong-pil’s face.
“I will start right away.”
“I think so even if you don’t say anything.”
Sureureung.
Ma Dong-pil, who was posing with the Mukwang sword, suddenly had a question.
‘The power that dwells within me? What do you mean?’
It sounded as if he had originally suppressed the fact that he could grow much more than he does now.
hook.
“I forgot to tell you beforehand.”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
Seo Liang, who had moved to the left before he knew it, was holding Chilyado high.
“If you don’t pay attention, you could die.”
Seo Liang lowered his sword.
Whoa!
