23. Sparring Tour (5)
It was an attack that took place in an instant.
After inducing the opponent, he delivers a scorching uppercut. As Shin Chang-hoon stumbles and tries to hold on, he immediately follows and delivers a clean one-two. It was a sight that he could only watch with his mouth wide open. Both the technique of attracting the opponent and the technique of instantly destroying the opponent within the attack range aroused admiration.
Cooung.
Shin Chang-hoon collapsed.
Seeing him motionless on the floor, people cheered without realizing it.
“and.”
“You’re sending Shin Chang-hoon to KO!”
“Hwiik- crazy, crazy!”
Lee Du-hak’s perspective?
Now was not the time to worry about such things.
The moment Lee Doo-hak’s vaunted secret weapon falls, the opponent is also Jeong Doo-cheol’s student and is only a high school student. It meant a huge upheaval in the domestic martial arts scene. Because of that high school student named Kim Hyun-seong, expectations were rising about how the martial arts landscape would change in the future.
Even Lee Du-hak was speechless now.
He was trembling when he lost to Kim Si-woo, but now he had no choice but to acknowledge Kim Hyun-seong.
‘In the end, do you mean that Jeong Doo-cheol is superior in terms of teaching talent?’
I blamed the sky.
It felt like the world was falling apart.
No matter how Lee Du-hak reacts or not.
Kim Hyun-seong took out his mouthpiece with a calm expression, came down from the octagon, and immediately approached Jeong Doo-cheol.
This game.
It was as special to Kim Hyun-seong as it was to Kim Si-woo.
The two men’s gazes became intertwined in the air.
“I know how unreasonable my requests have been. It must not have been easy to teach me, who knew nothing about martial arts and was not even familiar with fighting. And in just one year. “Thanks to the director, I have reached the level I want.”
It was different from usual.
showed courtesy.
With a serious face, he lowered his head in front of everyone.
“Thank you very much. “The director kept his promise to me.”
For those who don’t know the truth.
It seemed like an act of gratitude to his teacher.
The truth was different.
Jeong Doo-cheol knew Kim Hyun-seong’s intentions.
It was a relationship formed by contract in the first place.
If it is a temporary relationship that will end someday, it would be now that the goal of becoming stronger has been achieved.
“I have nothing but this to say to you.”
Calmly.
Jeong Doo-cheol accepted the goodbye.
“Please, be safe. “Hyunseong.”

that day.
Rumors circulated in domestic fighting circles.
“Did you hear what I said this time? “Lee Du-hak and Jeong Du-cheol got into a fight by offering up each other’s students, and Lee Du-hak was defeated.”
“The Lee Du-Hak of the world? I don’t know his performance as an active player, but isn’t Lee Du-hak far ahead as a coach? Who was the player? “Isn’t it that some strange group of people are sticking together and masturbating that Jeong Du-cheol won?”
“What are you talking about. Jeong Doo-cheol appointed two gopi-ri, one of whom defeated Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myeong in succession, and the other one destroyed Shin Chang-hoon, whom Lee Du-hak had raised with great care. In fact, it is the full force of Lee Du-hak.”
“omg. “You destroyed Shin Chang-hoon?”
There was an uproar.
It was shocking that Ahn Dong-yup and Hwang Dae-myeong were defeated in succession by amateurs, but Shin Chang-hoon’s loss was even more shocking. Shin Chang-hoon not only made his debut, but he was no stranger to domestic martial arts circles. He showed an overwhelming performance in sparring, and there were many martial arts officials who looked forward to Shin Chang-hoon’s debut as he was raised with great care by top leader Lee Du-hak.
Shin Chang-hoon like that.
The rumor was that it was overwhelmingly applied.
It was bound to be shocking.
Moreover, the meaningful conversations that took place in front of people inflated rumors among themselves.
“From the conversation I had with Jeong Doo-cheol, it seems like he will debut soon. Wow, what is really going on? “If he’s at a level that can beat Shin Chang-hoon at that young age, I’d like to see him advance to the UFC within a year or two, let alone the domestic martial arts scene.”
Say goodbye.
I took it as an indication of debut.
The rumors spread one after another, and thanks to this, Jeong Doo-cheol’s phone started ringing like it was going to explode.
Ugh-
[Duchul. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?]
[The player you are raising. How about he leave it to me? I guess it’s because you don’t have a good image. I will take responsibility and push you forward. Later, when I get good grades, the picture will be nice if I reveal that I am your student.]
[Where do you plan to debut? How about having him debut in our group? We’ll match you with a match that catches your attention right from the start, and if you show a little bit of performance, we’ll lead you straight to the title match. Anyway, if you’re teaching this much, the UFC is probably your goal. Before that, use our organization as a stepping stone.]
[How on earth can a player like that… … .]
Contacts poured in from all directions.
When Jeong Doo-cheol hit rock bottom due to the drug scandal, people who did not even pretend to know him brought their old connections to help create a star named Kim Hyun-seong. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand their reactions. Kim Hyun-seong was truly a marketable player, and people had no choice but to want to make the most of that marketability.
Jeong Doo-cheol is Kim Hyun-seong’s teacher.
In order to attract Kim Hyun-seong, he was someone who had to pass, and the fact that he had a messy record in the past was not important at all. Isn’t he himself? In the end, people’s ambivalent attitude proved that everything is solved with ‘grades’.
Ugh.
Whoosh, whoosh-
The phone rang constantly.
However, Jeong Doo-cheol did not respond to any contact.
[Are you really this crazy? Isn’t that a bit too much?]

No matter what people say.
Jeong Doo-cheol could not give them what they wanted.
An empty gym.
Hyunseong Kim no longer visited the gym.
* * *
The time when we expected to say goodbye was after the winter break.
When the snow fell and the snow melted, I thought that my true farewell would be when Kim Hyun-seong left Daesan.
But farewell came sooner than expected.
Kim Si-woo, Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myeong.
Kim Hyun-seong and Shin Chang-hoon.
It was a crowning achievement.
What Kim Hyun-seong said after the sparring was not a sign of a bright future, but a heartfelt farewell.
Inside an empty gym.
Jeong Doo-cheol drank a glass of soju.
At first, I felt guilty about the fact that I was getting paid to teach Kim Hyeon-seong, but when I actually left, I felt a strange sense of loss. It didn’t feel like the tooth I was suffering from had fallen out. It felt like something that had filled his soul had left his body, and his will to live had disappeared.
“… … You were sincere from beginning to end. “I was really trying to become stronger to get revenge.”
suddenly.
An old thought came to mind.
When asked to debut as a professional, Kim Hyun-seong said this.
He said he doesn’t enjoy fighting at all.
Although it is painful and painful, he only endures the painful times with the sole thought of achieving revenge.
I smiled bitterly.
No matter how much I drank, I never got drunk.
‘What on earth was I trying to achieve through Kim Hyun-seong?’
It’s not just about money.
At first, it was true that the large sum of 100 million gave a decisive justification, but as time passed, I became fascinated by Kim Hyun-seong’s development. I hoped he would grow up like this and achieve his goals. Then I realized. He used to teach others simply to make a living, but in fact, he found himself incredibly attracted to this path of being a leader.
And from a few days ago.
Contacts poured in from all directions.
Recognized for his teaching ability in creating Kim Si-woo and Kim Hyun-seong, he received a flood of calls requesting that he teach them.
It was the future I had longed for.
As he watched Lee Doo-hak, who was nothing special during his days as a player, achieve success, Jeong Doo-cheol felt a rotting feeling inside him, like an inferiority complex. If only I could grab the hand that people hold out. This shabby gym would be filled with a lot of officials, but strangely enough, I didn’t want to respond to any contact.
Indeed they are.
Can you satisfy yourself?
I experienced the incredible talent of Kim Hyun-sung and Kim Si-woo, but is it possible to teach children who are clearly behind in both talent and mindset?
I drank alcohol in succession.
It was then.
rattle-
“… … “Are you Director Jeong Doo-cheol?”
Open the door.
Someone came to visit.
Are you in your early 20s?
He still looked young, but when Jeong Doo-cheol frowned, he was pleased and shouted.
“That’s right. Director Jeong Doo-cheol! I’m a real fan! In the meantime, I have watched the director’s games countless times. No matter what people say, I think the director’s performance at that time was real. I’m not just talking about the physical level, but the technical area of destroying the opponent. Oops, did I make a mistake?”
In response without saying anything.
The other person laughed awkwardly.
Then he spoke with a very serious expression.
“Please accept me. “I want to become strong like you.”
Why?
Strangely, it overlapped with Kim Hyun-seong.
When Kim Hyun-seong also came to visit him, he remembered his past self and stated his purpose without adding or subtracting.
I sighed and laughed.
Jeong Doo-cheol asked.
“name is?”
“ah!”
Is it because it was taken as a positive meaning?
The other person also smiled brightly.
“Kim Mu-yeol. “This is Kim Mu-yeol, director!”
* * *
That was when Jeong Doo-cheol stood at a new starting point.
Kim Hyun-seong met with Kim Si-woo separately.
It had been a few days since we finished away sparring.
Kim Hyun-seong spoke with a calm expression to him, whose facial wounds had not yet healed.
“I understand your will. “But I can’t take you to Seoul.”
“hey!”
“You know that. How dangerous is what I am about to do in Seoul. Leaving Daesan and heading to Seoul means destruction, the end of everyday life. Your school life will completely collapse and you will only be running towards your goal, so why on earth should you take that risk? “I can do it because it means sacrificing only me.”
“Then why on earth! You trained with me? When the workout was over and you vomited out everything inside, I followed you in and vomited out everything in the same way. I know how dangerous you are willing to do so I will endure until the end. But telling me to fall out like this is too selfish. “You know I tried.”
Kim Si-woo shouted in anger.
What Hyunseong Kim said.
He only said that he was thinking of himself, but he was so selfish.
I never asked you to take care of it.
I just wanted to be together.
At a time when others were making fun of and ignoring him, he just didn’t want to ignore the difficulties of his friend who was the only one who reached out to him.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“know. “How hard you worked.”
“then… … .”
“But if it can’t be done, it can’t be done. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need it. As you said to me after the sparring, from the moment you knocked out one professional fighter after another, you clearly proved to be useful in our future plans. So, you stay in Daesan. “Remain in Daesan, grab the kids, and wait until I contact you.”
Hyunseong Kim’s words.
could not understand.
Please wait.
Kim Hyun-seong recognized Kim Si-woo.
If ‘force’ is needed for future plans, Kim Si-woo’s strength will definitely be helpful.
“If I contact you. Then come up to Seoul.”
Accepted.
Kim Si-woo’s sincerity.
He was a presence that could not be shaken off.
“Because that might be the time you need it.”
