I’m going to put a bag on the 38th one.
I practiced martial arts at the training center until late at night.
The most important thing to me now is training. If I lose to Hwamugi, all the efforts I have made, no matter how valuable and wonderful, will be in vain.
When training becomes too difficult, I often imagine this. I imagine dying to a fire weapon because I am just one step short of training. Of course, that won’t happen in reality, but such a hopeless imagination helps me overcome my laziness.
Fortunately, today’s training was the most enjoyable training I’ve had since returning.
A pure yet majestic energy surged from the dantian. The power of the first attack became even stronger, and the speed became faster.
Now, my internal energy has improved to the point where I can compete in a life-and-death battle with the demons. Considering my age, it was an energy that no one could believe.
‘It’s not enough yet.’
I need to collect more. The more the better, because that’s what internal energy is all about.
With continued training, the Wind God’s Sword has made considerable progress. There will come a time when he will hit a wall, but for now, in the early stages of training, he feels like his skills are growing with each use.
The more I opened the Wind God’s Book, the more I was overcome with the desire to fight. The Wind God’s Book constantly stimulated my fighting spirit.
-Hold on, there will come a time when you can fully reveal yourself to the world.
When I finished the first meal of the Fengshensa Temple, someone spoke from behind me.
“The aerodynamics have increased again.”
I turned around in surprise and saw my father standing there.
“You are truly a ghost.”
Even if it’s just me coming behind you without a sound, and you can tell that my internal energy has increased just by looking at the herbivore.
I spoke honestly.
“I received the Heavenly Sword from Blood Heavenly Sword.”
Although it was a major incident, my father wasn’t particularly surprised.
“Why aren’t you surprised?”
“Didn’t you say you had something to gain from him?”
“I told you that it was a miracle of heaven?”
“I knew that Doma had the Heavenly Sword.”
I was shocked. Why didn’t Hyeolcheondoma tell anyone about this?
“How did you know?”
Then, something even more shocking than what I had known came out.
“Because I gave it to you a long time ago.”
“Oh my god! Your father gave that to you?”
Suddenly, I remembered the scene where Hyeolcheon Doma drew a line on the floor, saying that he was closer to his father than to me. This confirmed that the two of them had once been very close.
“What did you bet with him?”
“I walked myself.”
“That guy Toma has done some seriously bad business.”
“My business starts now. I intend to really put a lid on the Palmazones.”
My father, who would have said something like that in the past, said nothing.
“Why are you just listening?”
“I thought you could do it.”
“Now you see my true worth.”
“Why do you hate the Amazons so much?”
“When I look at them, I hear this hallucination. Hey, you want to be a celestial horse? But what should I do? You can only become a celestial horse if we push you. Should I back you up? Do you want that? Then show me a good side.”
“Not a victim mentality?”
“Maybe so. Anyway, I don’t like it.”
I don’t intend to fight this fight alone. It’s a fight I’ll have to fight with my father, so at least with regard to Palmazone, I’ve been honest about my feelings. I don’t know about my relationships with other people, but my relationship with my father should not be tangled.
“Practice.”
I expressed my gratitude to my father as he turned around.
“Thank you for making Jangho the Demon Lord.”
“It’s not because of you, but because two Amazons recommended it.”
I called my father once more.
“father.”
My father answered without turning around.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I will be happy.”
At that moment, I felt my father’s back tremble slightly. It must have been an unexpected remark.
“I believe that if I am happy, the people around me will be happy and our school will be happy as well.”
I hit the ball before my father could say anything.
“Isn’t it just a cheap sentiment that’s perfect for dying?”
“Okay, you know.”
My father, who was about to open the door and go out, added a word.
“If you are going down this path, don’t even think about happiness.”
My father spoke loudly before closing the door.
“No, I don’t want to. I will definitely be happy if I go that way.”
The door slammed shut with a thud, as if to say it was a pipe dream.
I understand my father’s aversion to the word happiness, because both he and I have lived lives that are far from happiness.
Because happiness was seen as an escape for losers.
But, father, as I lived, I realized that it was as difficult to live happily as it was to strive to achieve a goal.
… … No, maybe that would be more difficult than a life where we just run for success. Rather, we might have escaped into success, Father.

Certainly, Ilhwageomjeon was different from Hyeolcheondoma.

He should have come running right away to brag about helping Jangho become the Demon Lord, but there was no news at all from Ilhwageomjon.
‘It means come find me.’
You can tell from this one thing that she values her face and honor. On the other hand, Hyeolcheon Doma is a person who prioritizes his own feelings. When he gets angry, he has to run to her and yell at her to get her to calm down.
I bought a bottle of good liquor and went to Ilhwageomjeon.
Ilhwageomjeon was tending to the garden in the yard of Mook.
“The flowers are really pretty.”
“There is a saying that flowers become more beautiful as you grow older. But that is still a distant dream for our Lee Gongja.”
You won’t realize that as you get older, even that becomes a nuisance.
“Thank you so much for your help this time. I bought you some alcohol as a token of my appreciation.”
“Thank you for the gift, but I don’t drink alcohol. I quit a long time ago.”
“Oh, is that so? Sorry.”
“are you okay.”
Actually, I knew that, but I bought him drinks on purpose. I wanted to avoid the impression that I knew him too well. I wonder if I really had to do this, but I have to do what I can. It’s the little things that accumulate to create relationships.
“We have always learned that if you receive help, you must repay it. Is there anything you would like?”
She spoke in a soft tone, still tending to the flowers.
“It would be better to cut ties with Doma.”
As expected by Hyeolcheon Doma, she offered this as a price.
“Can I ask why?”
“Because Doma is a person who is far from the ideal that the scholar pursues.”
“I know this may be an impertinent question, but do you know what my ideal is?”
“You said you were going to change the school to a place with strict order and discipline, right? Doma hates being bound by discipline more than anyone else. He will have many conflicts with Lee Gong-ja.”
Perhaps Ilhwageomjon thought that her persuasion would work. She had an overwhelming sense of pride in herself. She especially thought that she was incomparably better than Doma.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can follow your instructions.”
For a moment, her new body flinched.
“Why?”
“Because Elder Thomas gave me such a great gift.”
Originally, I wouldn’t have mentioned the gift, but I decided to let her know that I had received the Heavenly Gift.
I plan to make Ilhwageomjondo my own along with Hyeolcheondoma.
The two of them are so badly at odds with each other that it might actually be easier to deal with them. Above all, since their feelings will explode in some way, we will get to know them more quickly and more clearly.
Hyeolcheon Doma is the left envoy, and Ilhwa Geomjon is the right envoy.
They will be the most powerful left and right swordsmen in the history of martial arts, and they will become the Left Sword and Right Sword. I plan to place these two on my left and right and shake the rest of the Palmajons by their hair.
“What kind of gift is it?”
“It’s a personal gift, so I can’t tell you.”
“I thought our relationship had reached a point where we could have that level of conversation. Am I mistaken?”
“Oh, that’s difficult.”
After pretending to think about it for a moment, he soon told her that he had no choice.
“Your Majesty has bestowed upon me a great favor this time, so I will tell you. You have given me the Heavenly Sword.”
“I beg your pardon?”
She stopped tending to the flowers and turned to me. The composure and dignity she had just shown were shattered in an instant.
“Are you really saying that you gave the Heavenly Sword to Lee Gong-ja?”
Ilhwageomjon seemed to have a hard time believing that Hyeolcheondoma had given me the Heavenly Sword. She was more surprised than I had expected.
“Where is that shrine now?”
“I already took it. So why are you so surprised?”
“Doma is a very greedy person by nature, so how could I not be surprised that he gave that precious thing to Lee Gongja?”
“It seems that you have judged me to be more valuable than the altar.”
It was said as a joke, but Ilhwageomjon didn’t laugh. He probably thought it was true.
“Thank you for your help this time. If you need my help in any way, please let me know. I’ll see you next time.”
As I was leaving after saying my respectful greetings, Geomjon called out to me softly.
“Scholar of engineering.”
When I looked back at her, Ilhwageomjon said.
“What kind of person is the Doma that the scientist saw?”
“He was weird, violent, and self-centered. I didn’t like him at first, but the more I met him, the better he became.”
“Isn’t it because you gave me the Heavenly Sword?”
“I can’t deny it. Who wouldn’t like it? It’s a miracle.”
“It’s just a potion.”
“I really need that little elixir.”
She tried to somehow break up the relationship between Thomas and me.
“If you want to continue receiving my help, then cut ties with Doma. Not Doma.”
“Then prove it.”
“What do you mean?”
I stared at her for a moment and then said.
“That you are a person who can help me more than Elder Doma.”
Ilhwageomjon’s expression hardened slightly.
“Was it nonsense to say that you would establish discipline and justice in our school?”
“Elder Doma gave me the Heavenly Sword. If I want to cut ties with him, I must have a reason.”
“Isn’t the justification sufficient for serving our school?”
I chuckled as if I was watching.
“I despise people who try to win the hearts of their subordinates or juniors for free with things like dreams, ideals, and loyalty.”
At that moment, Geomjon became angry and I could see her true appearance.
The cold, bleak look in his eyes as he settles down.
Her eyes felt like a barren desert.
If you saw the blazing fire in the eyes of the Bloodthirsty Demon, you felt a terrible thirst from the Sword Master. This desolation was conveyed even more intensely because it was a change from his gentle appearance.
It’s a consequential story, but… …now I think I know for sure.
After being sealed by the Fire Weapon, why was she the first to move? Why was her ambition more impetuous than that of the other Palmajons? Because she had to fill that desolation with something.
Normally, I would have hung the whip I swung on the wall and peeled the carrot, but I didn’t do that.
“I don’t know what you think of me, senior, but I’m preparing for a great undertaking. I’ll have to meet many people and make many decisions. I’m not confident that I can accurately judge what’s right and what’s wrong at those times. So please show me something that I can easily judge.”
Then he reached out to her.
“Please put something more precious than the Heavenly Sword that Elder Doma gave you in my hand.”
No, it’s not a cutting board? That’s absolutely not true. It has to be a bloody cutting board. That’s why you’re shaking like this. That’s why I’m asking this question.
“Lee Gongja, what do you want?”
I folded my palm again, holding it out to her. I didn’t ask her for help. It wasn’t the time yet.
“No, not right now.”
It would sound like this to her.
It’s okay, I already have a cutting board.
She will become even more impatient because you said you didn’t want anything. If you had just said, “Give me something,” she would have responded rationally.
“Then I’ll see you next time. I won’t forget the favor you gave me this time.”
After greeting each other politely, I left the room.
After walking for a while, when I looked back, she was standing there staring at me.
I bowed my head again toward those blazing eyes and continued walking.
Yeah, it’s bubbling like that.
Because cooking can only begin once the water boils.
