Boom! Boom!
The Seongryongdae dormitory provided at the branch, and the training center located within it.
A harsh sound echoes from there.
Shhh! I turned my head at the sound. The tip of the sword grazed my cheek.
I take a step forward and bend my upper body. Another sword passes over the original location.
He stretched out his fist and struck the air. As if it had been waiting, the sword flew in and was destroyed by the punch.
Even with short movements, countless attacks came pouring in. Following suit, my body was also moving without rest.
I rolled my eyes and slightly raised my spirits. Then I felt speculation coming from all directions.
He twisted his waist slightly and wrapped his arms around his waist.
‘Just one.’
Move your gaze. Target the one furthest away, not the one closest to you.
I increased my speed by slightly putting strength into my feet.
“…!”
I reached my goal in an instant. My opponent seemed surprised for a moment by my appearance.
“Huh!”
He immediately fixed his sword and changed his stance. It seemed as if he was changing his attack stance to a defensive one.
I raised the corners of my mouth when I saw that.
That’s a good way.
Since we can’t engage in a useless power struggle, we’re trying to minimize damage as much as possible.
but.
‘That kind of defense method seems to be unskilled.’
It looks like he’s been training hard to attack. His posture is crude. No, it’s not crude enough to be called that.
‘At least in my eyes.’
When you think of it as an ‘opponent’, that’s true.
thud-!
“Ugh!?”
The outstretched fist instantly pierced his temples.
It wasn’t hard to hit the attack. As I said, the posture is weak compared to the level, so it’s full of gaps.
The blow smashes the energy surrounding the body and hits directly.
“Coolook…!”
The one who got hit by my fist. Yeoltujeongeom falls to the floor and vomits.
I was concerned about his haggard face, but I immediately turned away because it was not the time to look at him.
The attack had already arrived behind them.
This time it’s a fist. And a very big fist at that.
The compression force was considerable because the air was wrapped around it. It looks like it would hurt a little if you blocked it recklessly.
Should I dodge or should I take it? I hesitated for a moment.
Quaaa-!
My relatively small fist is supported by the large fist.
When the two fists collided, a tremendous shock spread out.
However, in the process, only the opponent was harmed.
The man who rushed at me while firing his gun grabbed my arm and distanced himself from me. In comparison, I was unharmed.
He said while looking at it.
“You’re focusing too much on one thing. You should have expected the backlash.”
The amount of energy was much greater on that side, but the reason things turned out this way was different.
A particularly large amount was gathered only in the cross-section of the fist.
If it becomes like that, even a little adjustment can put a strain on your wrist.
Durability means an attack that is not thought through.
“Keu-!”
The man who was hit by the counterattack was momentarily confused, but then prepared to jump to regroup.
It looks like they’re trying to distance themselves. This is also a good idea.
The problem is.
Kuk-!
“…!”
You’re saying I expected that and was already stepping on it?
His lower body was grabbed, his movements were restricted. I could sense he was panicking.
I could see him trying to force his foot out, but he was already swinging his other leg while stepping on my foot.
The calf that had been accelerating was stuck in the side, and at the same time, the instep was released. Then.
“Ugh!”
Kuuung–!!
He is slammed into the wall before the scream even ends.
“Two people.”
The moment the words were spoken, speculations arose on both sides.
Two flashes of light pierced through me.
Not only did he take advantage of the focus on combat, he also took advantage of blind spots. It was a smart move.
The location is also good.
It was an attack that could not be avoided either upward or downward. It was proof that the timing was right.
It was a mess when we first started out, but after a few beatings, it seems to be starting to work out.
underneath.

‘What should I do?’
Should I just give it a try? Or should I deal with it differently? It’s not a bad thing to give it a try.
This is pretty much a passing grade. But it seems right to be lenient in the current situation.
Whoosh whoosh-!
“Huh!”
“this–!!”
That wasn’t my thing.
A flame explodes in an instant along the body. Those approaching flinch and change their movements.
Since I couldn’t back out since I was already rushing in, it was right to just accept it.
So I immediately used my energy to strengthen my self-defense skills.
It seemed like it had no intention of stopping its attacks. It seemed like it was going to dig in further while enduring the flames.
The can is good.
I decided to give more points there.
Paaaaah–!!
The flames pass by. Those who have made up their minds are hit by the flames.
at that time.
“what?”
“What is this…?”
Everyone’s eyes widened at the strange feeling. They must have calmed down.
They endure the flames and attack with great force. That may have been their choice.
Things went differently than expected.
The sparks that were fired were not hot at all, contrary to their appearance.
Of course it would be. It’s just a cover for the eyes.
I could have been as vicious as I wanted to be, but I didn’t.
What I wanted was to create confusion through illusion.
The plan was successful.
Shudder.
A very small gap has formed.
I didn’t miss it.
Bang-!
“Huh!?”
I started by taking care of the one closest to me. I was planning on hitting his wrist to make him drop his sword.
‘oh.’
The tip of the sword just went down in shock. It didn’t miss. It wasn’t a weak blow, but it was a decent reaction.
I liked it.
‘What was your name?’
Did you say Seonghyeokjin? He was a gentleman who had quite good grades on the non-stage stage and was with us during the Baekgeup Demon Incident.
“Crunch!”
He changed his mind and hit his chin with his knee. He staggered and fell down as if he had been hit squarely.
‘Three like this.’
Flick your fingertips while counting numbers.
Tick-! The friction between the index and middle fingers caused sparks to fly.
A small spark quickly grows larger.
A little thicker. A little firmer.
But not too strong.
Let’s compare the strengths.
okay.
‘Enough to block a sword once.’
Ki-ki-kik-!
“Ugh!”
The one who was cutting the flame in front crumpled his expression. He was cutting, but the speed was strangely slow.
It seemed like it would break if I applied a lot of force.
“What kind of fireworks…!”
It’s just a spark, so why is it so heavy?
The character bites his lip in embarrassment.
So I didn’t notice.
“You’re late.”
“… Ugh!!”
Grabbed him by the collar.
I could have hit his chin or his forehead, but I had a use for it. I just grabbed him and threw him backwards.
“Ugh!?”
Even though he was suddenly thrown, he quickly prepared to fall.
However, that intention was not achieved.
thud!
“Ugh!?”
“Ugh!”
The flying figure collides with the fierce swordsman who jumped in behind him and falls down.
It was to control the situation by rushing in after seeing it.
like that.
“Ugh… Ugh.”
“Coolook… coolook.”
The duel is over.
Those who had been fighting hard were crawling on the ground, exhausted. I was standing in the center, watching them.
“hmm.”
I nodded my head as I looked at those guys, those guys, groaning in pain.
‘Pass.’
Not bad. No, good. It fits much better than I expected.
I thought it would be okay if I rolled it a little more.
The problem is.
“Ugh… .”
“Damn… There’s such a difference.”
The expressions on the faces of those who fell are not very good. I thought they were beaten moderately, but was it too overwhelming?
I had controlled it to some extent, but my self-esteem fell to this extent. This part was really disappointing.
‘Hmm.’
Should I at least praise him for doing well? But I don’t think that will be of much help in that state.
Should I just curse? Is this what happens when guys do a little bit of this?
‘Yeah, that’s better.’
What kind of compliment is that? If I were to do it, it would be better. The moment I thought that and was about to spit out the words.
“My lord-! It was so good!”
“…!”
Those who had fallen immediately turned their gaze to the hoarse voice.
At the entrance of the training center far away, a charming beauty(?) named Yeonhong was standing and cheering.
“…”
As I check that, my expression instantly rots away.
“Oh, my lady… .”
“Young Lady, you were watching…!”
“You looked so cool. Everyone worked hard!”
“…omg….”
“Ugh, ugh.”
As I spoke with a comforting smile, the men’s expressions brightened.
Is that all…?
‘… sick.’
I have no words to say. Especially since I know what Yeonhong is thinking.
‘How on earth do they do that?’
A blunt and indifferent character. The Dark King is the one who wouldn’t even cry even if his own arm were to burst at any moment.
But does cross-dressing really change a person like that?
No matter how much I look at it, it’s incredibly embarrassing. Especially the voice, and the way he speaks and acts, I can’t get used to it.
“Thank you for your hard work…!”
“Oh, no. It’s just part of the training.”
“That’s right. As a warrior, you should definitely put effort into training. You shouldn’t lose strength even if you are defeated.”
“Your Majesty… You have truly suffered. Now, let’s go to the next training session. Surely you are not tired?”
“Then! I’m tired!”
“…”
He left as if he was going to show Yeonhong more of his cool side. I had to look at him with a shit-eating expression.
‘What a f*cking piece of shit.’
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
It looks the same, but it actually helps, so I have nothing to say.
‘They said it would be easier to manage if it looked like that. Did that really mean it?’
The words of the Dark King came to mind. If that was really what he meant, did he foresee this situation?
If that’s the case, then he must be a truly scary gentleman.
furthermore.
‘I never knew who you were because you became such a different person.’
I think I know why the Dark King’s true identity has not been revealed until now.
Who would dare to doubt the level of perfection of gender-swapping makeup?
The current Yeonhong didn’t give off any sense of manliness or the feeling of a dark queen at all.
At that moment, my eyes met with Yeonhong’s. As soon as we made eye contact, she smiled, and her smile was so dazzling that I found myself flinching.
He tried to avoid eye contact and spoke to those next to him who were staring at Yeonhong just like the guys just now.
“Okay, next.”
When their names were called, some flinched.
Then, I glared at him once because he hesitated and didn’t come out.
“Not coming out? I don’t have time, so hurry… .”
As I was about to speak, I heard a voice in my ear.
-Your Majesty, we have a guest.
It was the sound of Tang Xiaoyeol’s commotion.
this.
‘You came sooner than expected.’
I thought it would come at least after noon, but it came as early as the morning breeze.
-Should I tell him to wait a moment while I practice?
-No. I’ll go now, so go to your room.
-All right.
He finished his speech and clicked his tongue briefly. There were still more guys left to roll, but things got messed up.
“Something came up, so each of us is practicing individually.”
“…!”
When he hears the words, his expression brightens. It seems like he knows it’s time to end it now.
“I’ll start right after we finish, so just know that.”
“…”
As soon as he said it decisively, his bright expression was shattered.
I looked at that, smiled, and then started walking.
‘I remembered the faces of those guys who were just getting crushed.’
Come back later and see. I was planning on giving you a particularly harsh treatment.
*******************
The place I found after walking was the branch’s VIP room.
I found the door without hesitation and opened it.
Knock knock.
As I roughly opened the door and stepped inside, the person who had been waiting frowned.
I looked at him and smiled and said.
“Long time no see?”
“…”
“Why don’t you make a face when you say hello? It’s embarrassing to say that.”
I ignored the lukewarm reaction and sat down in the chair.
“You don’t need tea, do you? I don’t have anything prepared in particular. If you need it, I can give you water.”
“under….”
The old man reacts as if he finds my remarks shocking.
“You really are not in your right mind.”
“I was just trying to take care of you, so it’s disappointing to hear you say that.”
“Not only your mind, but also your actions. Are you really crazy?”
“why?”
An old man who made an impression.
The owner of Gyecheonmun, Gyecheonmunju, looked at me and asked.
“The fact that you called me here is proof of that.”
The Gyecheonmunju, which is treated as a sapa.
Especially in a situation like now, the fact that he was called in blindly without any care. The head of the Gyecheonmunmun mentioned that absurd situation.
“Haha. That’s ridiculous.”
I can only laugh when I hear that.
“Are you in your right mind then, when I called you?”
Phew-! He scattered his energy and created a blast of energy in the surrounding area.
“The branch manager here is probably one of your people anyway. It doesn’t matter, honestly.”
“…!!”
At the mention of Mokriseon, the eyes of the Heavenly Guardian grow wide.
“… How do you know that?”
I don’t make any denials or excuses. Is it because I said it as if I was sure?
Rather, it was more comfortable for me that he reacted that way.
“As I said last time, it doesn’t matter how you found out. Of course I have no intention of telling you.”
“Are you staying here even though you knew?”
“Then where else can a Murim Alliance member go other than the branch? They even provide a house and food. Where else could you find a more comfortable place than here?”
“…”
“Don’t worry about personal stuff. If you’re curious, find out for yourself. What’s important isn’t how I knew. It’s that you came here. Isn’t that right?”
“You… .”
“How was the Ilcheonggeom?”
“…”
I asked the question without hesitation.
“Do you listen well?”
“haha.”
After hearing the question, Gyecheonmunju burst into laughter again.
“Are you not considering the possibility that I would not have listened to you and gone to see you?”
“Ah… Don’t do that, okay?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t bother picking fights. I came here because I saw a response. So just answer the questions I asked. I don’t really like using my head.”
Gyecheonmunju narrows his eyes.
There was an unknown question in that gaze.
“Are you really a member of the political party…?”
“How does it look?”
“…”
The horse’s answer could be seen in Gyecheonmun’s eyes.
It’s a look that says absolutely not. I didn’t deny it either. I’ve never actually thought of myself as a political person. I don’t really want to be one.
As I was quietly looking into those eyes, time passed and the Lord of Gyecheonmun frowned and spoke.
“… The Ilcheong sword was just as you said.”
I guess they also plan to just get to the main point.
“okay?”
“I relayed what you said exactly, and your reaction was just as I said.”
“Hmm, good.”
“Yeah, it’s like the two of them are plotting to make fun of this old man.”
“ha ha ha.”
“Hahahaha.”
They burst into laughter. He nodded his head at the questioning words.
“If you had doubted that, you wouldn’t have come here?”
“There’s something I want to check too.”
“Is that so? Then, is it confirmed?”
“No. Not yet.”
“Then, what happens if the verification doesn’t work out?”
“Do you want to know?”
Deulgeudeok-! As the conversation continues, the surrounding objects start to shake little by little.
Looking at that, I asked the Gyecheonmunju.
“I don’t know if it’s okay to be so confident after coming all the way to the main camp. What are you going to do if you lose?”
“Didn’t you say that? The branch manager is on my side. If you said that, would I have come without thinking?”
“Ugh… .”
He said that he had prepared something while visiting the branch.
I heard that and thought about it.
Should I just kill him?
It was a fleeting thought. I had that thought without realizing it.
‘No. You can’t.’
It sinks in immediately. There was still a lot to use and a lot to learn.
There is nothing more regrettable than killing someone now.
Honey, at least.
“… Okay, I understand that you have prepared something. I also have something to ask you.”
“I don’t intend to pass it over so lightly-.”
“Ilcheongyo.”
Let me just ask this.
“…”
The lord of Gyecheonmun stopped talking. And.
“Old man. Do you know anything about a place called Ilcheongyo?”
Crunch-!
Swords rained down from the roof.
