Episode 41 – 16. A New Beginning (2)2017.02.03.
Betrayal cyst.
As is usually the case after drinking and playing, glasses and trays are scattered all over the place.
Xi’an was agitated today, so the whole city would be drunk.
Around the table where I was sitting, there were also piles of empty liquor containers.
Clumps of people around him. All of them tried to knock me down, but they fell first.
Looking at them, a pleasant smile naturally covers the corners of your mouth.
‘Didn’t the deceased person say that?’
Five reasons to drink alcohol.
There was something he always said when his subordinates stopped him from drinking any more when the soul of his previous life became drunk.
―Why does Bondo have to keep drinking? There are five great reasons.
This is a windless country.
I raised the bottle in my hand and put it to my mouth. The hot drink wets your lips.
‘First, there is good wine,’
Father, Hwang Jeong-gi, Jang Ki-hu, Machil, etc., and the instructors of Cheonbong Military Officer, including Mapung-to.
‘Second, you are by my side,’
gulp.
A cool drink wets your throat.
‘Third, I’m thirsty, fourth, I’m thirsty again,’
I raised my head and looked at the sky.
The bright bright moon looks down at me.
‘And under the moon, any reason is good.’
It was a ridiculous reason, but I don’t think it was wrong.
Yes, wouldn’t this be a good day to drink for any reason?
―Because there is good alcohol, because you guys are by my side, because I am thirsty, because I will be thirsty soon, and because any reason is good. so drink it The three ends are crooked.
It’s good, like he’s talking into my ear.
‘Have you stopped drinking now? That man.’
If you cut it off, I’m sorry for a little bit.
“Well, hold on a little. I’ll buy you enough money to make the three ends properly crooked later.”
I poured the rest of the alcohol into one mouthful and collapsed on the floor.
Doing so, a memory suddenly comes to mind.
‘Didn’t you make that decision while looking up at the sky when you first returned?’
Let today not be the day it was 30 years ago.
Let’s go to Moorim University. Let’s pass Yongbongjinsi, not Yongbongjapsi.
Worried about whether I can survive there?
Let’s go and think about that then. go once
and today!
‘It has been accomplished.’
To be exact, it was all accomplished 15 days ago, but what about it?
In any case, the fact that it has been achieved does not change.
How long have you been lying down?
“What are you doing lying here?”
Instead of the moon, a reddish face like a moon caught my sight.
I laughed lightly.
“I am lying down.”
“… … .”
“I was just lying down. Lie down if you have nothing to do.”
“What is that? Are you trying to seduce me now?”
“Hey, if I seduce you, will you fall over?”
“… … but. yes.”
At the same time, Chen Xiaoso lies down next to me and shares the same sky with me.
“It’s good?”
“huh. The moon is good.”
So we lay down for a while and admired the moon without talking.
until a large cloud covers the moon.
“Priests.”
“why?”
“You are very fine though. Looking at it earlier, it seems like everyone here takes every cup they give you.”
“I guess I’m too strong, what?”
Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaa
when did it come?
Zhu Zhu came to Chen Xiao Xiao and rubbed his head.
Cheon So-so smiles lightly and caresses Ju-ju.
“As expected, that cat is its owner. Seeing him earlier, he was having a blast with the guys, but is he the only one awake now?”
“what. It is the owner and the cat.”
At the same time, I also stroked Juju’s head.
As a result, her shoulder naturally collided with her, and her hand was lightly rubbed.
Soso winced and sat up from his seat.

“… … It’s cold because I’m lying down.”
After a moment of awkward silence, she opened her mouth.
“What are you going to do before entering the office?”
“well… … .”
well.
That was my sincerity right now.
I achieved what I set out to do in the first place.
What next?
I thought I’d go and think about it then… … .
Looking back, it was now.
‘What should I do now?’
“Well, it must be training.”
It’s training, it’s training. For some reason, those words suddenly feel distant.
Like a star over there.
In the past, I thought I just wanted to split the sky, but I suddenly had that question.
‘Why do I have to split the sky?’
That question soon spread to other questions.
I said half-jokingly and half-seriously that I would become the best in the world.
However, after passing Moorim University and approaching the name of the best in the world by one toe, I felt rather vague.
‘If you become the first person in the world… … .’
What if?
Until now, I thought that was the ultimate goal… … .
“Sister.”
“huh?”
“If you were to become the number one person in the world, what would you most like to do?”
Is it because I feel sincerity in my voice for the first time in a while?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xiaoxi replied.
“well… … .”
Well, is it like that?
Until now, I have come this far with just one view of the Moorim University building and a single thought to become a master.
‘Is that really enough?’
I feel like I’m missing something.
If I had the feeling that something that was coherent in my previous life had been broken from the last cheer, this time it felt like something new was newly established in my heart.
Just like that, the clouds cleared and the moon slanted, but I couldn’t get up easily, and the day of cheers, admiration, and worries was over.
● ● ●
In any case, the training resumed the very next day.
It was uncomfortable somewhere, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t stop practicing.
Because Moorim University was not such a good place.
From political factions throughout the central plains, talented, gifted, and geniuses gather.
If you stop because you have a concern, they will go ahead so far that you can’t even see it.
Anyway, admission to Moorim University is next spring.
Until then, you have to do whatever you do.
All I can do is practice.
training, training again. Effort, effort again.
The house, Cheonbong Military Museum, and the mountain behind it.
But for some reason, growth was very slow.
It’s not that the efficiency of training has decreased, but that the motivation has decreased?
‘What the hell is wrong?’
One day when I was swinging a wooden sword diligently in the back mountain.
An unexpected visitor came.
“Tsk tsk tsk. There’s no way the sword can be intact if you’re full of distracting thoughts.”
when did it appear?
Geumbongnam was sitting on a thin tree branch and looking down at me.
He had changed beyond recognition. To the extent that he couldn’t recognize him at first glance.
A white, powdered face in a white robe with only the shoulders raised. a tousled head.
Really, as he said before, he looked young enough to be believed even at 58.
But that’s what it is, and it doesn’t look good when you think about the failure of the mission and getting on the shit line because of that inspiration.
“uh? inspiration?”
right! As soon as he spoke, the back of his head caught fire.
“Hey. What did you say to the elders you haven’t seen in a while?”
“nice-! Are you sick? What is this all of a sudden appearing?”
right! every time this time
“Yonseok, but.”
‘… … Damn, you’re an inspiration.’
It hurt enough to shake my bones, but this time I didn’t let the thought come out of my mouth.
“It wasn’t all of a sudden. Do you know how far the old lady came to meet you?”
“No, so why did you come all the way?”
“You bastard occupied Seomseo Manor in Yongbong City. I’m here to celebrate.”
“… … Does that make sense?”
I was so dumbfounded that I asked again.
I’ve only met Geumbongnam once, and it’s thanks to Samjian that I know his name.
“Yonseok, you build the Great Wall in one night. Do you think the old man is close enough to us?”
“… … Is your grandfather a woman? Build the Great Wall with me.”
right!
“Yonseok, again!”
“Ouch-. It hurts!”
“Hit me because it hurts. Then will you hit me to get better?”
“All right. Really, why are you here?”
Geumbongnam smiled strangely.
“I think I will see you often, so I came to greet you in advance.”
“yes? What do you mean by that?”
“Ah, that’s okay, try swinging it again.”
“yes?”
right!
“What is Ne? Don’t talk nonsense, just swing it quickly.”
“… … .”
What, all these crazy inspirations!
But my hand was already tightly gripping the wooden sword. Also, if I put a tail on it, it seemed that my hair wouldn’t come out at all.
Hung! Hung! Hung!
“stop. It is done.”
I stopped the wooden sword at his words.
“Tsk tsk tsk. You’re an ignorant swordsman who doesn’t know how someone like you took over the manor.”
ignorant knife.
It was harsh criticism without adding or subtracting, but he was right.
After that day, I had been wielding the sword, and both [Proficiency] of [Martial Arts] and actual martial arts were increasing, but there was definitely a strange feeling somewhere in my heart.
My mouth spitting out unintentional words without my knowledge.
“… … What should I do in a situation like this?”
Geumbongnam built a unique gossip.
“Cluck. Why does the old woman have to teach you?”
“Grandpa, you build the Great Wall in one night. I think we’re close enough to each other, right?”
right!
“Yonsuk-ah, are you even a beauty?”
ah! Really, this inspiration is just… … !
Die or not, the moment I am about to crash into it, a breeze blows and caresses my hair. It’s not just an ordinary wind, it’s a strangely calming wind.
It is a wind sent by Geumbongnam.
‘also… … Is it a genie?’
So much so that I can’t judge.
“Help. In particular, I will consider that you are an unparalleled beauty, and the old lady will teach you with sincerity. What are you so worried about?”
“… … .”
I couldn’t figure out what was bothering me, saying that I couldn’t do it if I put a mat on it. But Geumbongnam calmly waited for me to open my mouth.
It was not until after a while that he was able to look down at the wooden sword and finally confess his concerns.
“… … Why do I have to be the first person in the world?”
What I originally wanted to say was very long, but when I opened my mouth, very compressed words came out. It was a very ridiculous concern in a way, but it was also my sincerity and a concern.
“Was your goal to be the best in the world?”
Geumbongnam said while strangely wriggling white rice.
But I couldn’t answer right away.
I would have confidently said yes before… … .
“Help. Do you know why you can’t answer?”
“… … Why?”
“Because the number one person in the world cannot be a goal. Being the best in the world is a means, not an end.”
means and ends.
I don’t know exactly what it was, but I felt a shock as if I had been hit in the heart. In a single word of nothing.
“What were you planning to do when you became the number one person in the world?”
Come to think of it, I had never really thought about it too deeply.
Should I just vaguely say that if I became a master, I would be better than I was in my previous life, and I would be able to live to the fullest?
No, no.
It wasn’t like that. Do you think there is something else important?
Then another question from Geumbongnam.
“Don’t change the question. Or, if you become emperor, what would you most like to do?”
Giying-.
As Geumbongnam’s question continued, the ripples in his heart grew.
“Help. Maybe you’ve been thinking that it’s okay to worry about that after you’ve become the first person in the world. However, ahaha.”
My eyes reflected in Geumbongnam’s eyes were terribly trembling. It must be a sign that, little by little, you will realize what the problem is.
“That must be addressed now. Narrow your scope. If you became a master, what would you do, what would you do. Even if you are not the greatest master in the world, that is a matter that you must consider. And in the eyes of the old woman… … .”
“… … .”
“You are already a master enough.”
I felt like lightning strikes in my head and heart.
In that moment, I realized what I had been missing all along.
“If, indeed, if.”
“… … .”
“What would the old man do if he found out that the midfield would be destroyed tomorrow?”
“Plant an apple tree… … No, I will try to stop it.”
“What if it’s very, very, very, very difficult to block?”
“Yonseok-ah, doesn’t it mean that it is very, very very very very difficult, even if it is only 1 Lire, there is a possibility?”
“… … .”
“Then you should try. Just like you said, you should try hard enough not to be betrayed by your efforts. Even if that effort ends up being betrayed and the midfield perishes.”
“Even if I become the number one person in the world… … If it still doesn’t seem to work, what should I do?”
“forget.”
forget it? what?
“When did you wake up this morning? When did you eat again?”
I woke up in the morning and had breakfast in the morning.
but… … .
I don’t know if it’s that rough, but I don’t remember exactly.
I couldn’t answer.
“When did you wake up in the morning and go to the back room?”
Does anyone remember anything like that?
Of course I couldn’t answer.
“When did the cat sitting over there eat?”
Geum Bong-nam pointed to Ju-ju, who was lying on one side and playing alone, and asked. Juju was a rare species that did not eat rice, but now it didn’t matter whether it was rice or alcohol.
Of course I couldn’t answer this time either.
“Look at that. Don’t you forget thousands of things a day? So forget about the things that don’t work.”
“… … .”
“That’s the only effort a courageous person can make. Oblivion is always the other side if you are alone. If close friends, family, and this world perish, what is the big deal?”
dazed
“I don’t know why you’re asking this question, but… … .”
It wasn’t a thrill, but something empty energy permeated his body, while Geumbongnam’s strikes continued.
“Apart from whether it can be done or not, if you become the best person in the world, think about it in advance. That with great power comes great responsibility.”
With great power comes great responsibility… … .
“Isn’t it too obvious what the best man in the world will do in a situation where the midfield is perishing?”
If there is a cause that makes me the first person in the world, there must be a corresponding result.
I’m back in the past… … .
I met my father again… … .
I met a fine Cheon So-so… … .
Became friends with Jang Ki-hoo and Cheon So-so… … .
etc… … .
In the future, many things will change because of me.
But if you just stop with that… … .
‘The midfield is over!’
That moment.
Tring-.
[mission]
[Kill the Heavenly Demon (time limit: 30 years).]
[Reward upon success: Determined after success]
[Penalty in case of failure: destruction of midfield]
One day on the way to winter.
It started to snow heavily… … .
I am,
I finally found my goal.
