Episode 47
Sticky, damp air and the faint scent of blood mixed in the air.
‘It’s not human blood.’
What can I say?
In terms of taste, it wasn’t as fishy as iron. It tasted bitter and unpleasant, almost like a mixture of kale green juice and an unpleasant fishy taste.
This is the smell of monster blood.
Jeron realized this and narrowed his eyes. She raised her spirit and secretly released her energy to those around her. The smell of the monster’s blood was faint, but I could smell other smells as well.
It was a pleasant smell peculiar to wild dogs or wolves. However, there was no way the animals would come into ‘Ethan’s Hideout’, where there were many monsters, to be eaten.
There is one type of monster that can be predicted.
‘Is it Gnoll?’
To easily explain gnolls, think of wild dogs or wolves that walk on two legs.
It is different from the werewolves that often appear in movies.
A werewolf literally took human form, but was not a gnoll.
Wild dogs and wolves stand like humans, so their backs are bent, and they are not very intelligent, so they cannot handle tools properly.
‘But they say it’s a monster you shouldn’t let your guard down on.’
Gnolls are the most intelligent among monsters.
The fact that their intelligence is not high is based on human standards.
The same goes for not handling tools properly.
Gnolls know how to swing clubs and know that armor protects their bodies. They also have the habits of wild dogs and wolves, forming packs and hunting their prey in very cunning ways.
As if to confirm Jeron’s guess, a soldier discovered an unusual trace.
“These are traces of a fight.”
“Everyone stop.”
When the knight raised his hand and spoke, the march stopped.
“I’ll take a quick look around and make a move. Teachers, please gather students in one place.”
“Come on, everyone gather here.”
Teachers led the students and gathered them in one place. Before starting combat training, prepare to prevent accidents from occurring.
After a while, the knight returned from scouting the surroundings and said.
“It looks like there was a territorial dispute between the gnolls.”
“okay.”
Gnolls were monsters with territorial instincts. If there are several groups instead of one, they often fight to protect their territory. It was not an uncommon phenomenon.
“Were there any other monsters?”
“There are smaller species like goblins and gremlins. “I left it for combat practice.”
“They are not dangerous.”
After listening to the article, the teachers gathered together and had a brief meeting.
Meanwhile, the rangers went to scout the surrounding area once again.
Meanwhile, Jeron looked around and thought.
‘That’s strange?’
Territory fight between gnolls.
It’s easy to simply think that’s it. However, when Jeron looked at the traces of the battle, he felt the guys’ emotions.
‘What are you afraid of?’
It’s not a turf war.
Jeron was sure.
They met while running away from something whose identity they did not know and fought among themselves.
‘Fear, confusion and shock.’
Other negative emotions flowed in as well.
The biggest thing is fear.
There was a similar incident.
It was an anecdote about how Jeron, or rather Minhyeon Yoo, came to be called Maseon.
At that time, Jungwon Moorim concluded that Yoo Min-hyeon might pose a great danger to Moorim in the future. Because he was a demon with great power.
However, Yu Min-hyeon, who lived in modern times for 27 years, was not completely influenced by the ideology of the martial arts, and set his own strict standards in terms of ethics and morals, so he did not cause any major problems.
Jungwon Moorim quietly watched Yoo Min-hyeon, waiting for the right moment to arise.
Then, one day, while wandering around the martial arts world, I witnessed Myeong-Suk, a member of one of the martial arts factions – a fact I later learned – trying to r**e a helpless female citizen.
Yoo Min-hyeon’s blood rushed to his lips at that moment and he beat the guy up badly.
The woman who saved her fled after witnessing Yoo Min-hyeon’s merciless violence, and Myeong-sook, the criminal, barely survived thanks to Jeong Pa-in, who came to see the commotion.
It was quite a sweet potato development, but it also happens often in modern times.
A problem occurred here.
The criminal – Myeong-sook framed Yoo Min-hyeon as the villain who tried to r**e the woman. He ‘tried to punish Mine for trying to r**e a helpless woman. But the demon was strong, and she could barely let the woman escape.’
For Yoo Min-hyeon, this was shocking. However, as mentioned above, the person that Joongwon Moorim is keeping an eye on was Yoo Min-hyeon.
The truth didn’t matter.
It’s just a cause!
All that was needed was a reason to punish Yoo Min-hyeon.
Stop making lies the truth.
In an instant, Yoo Min-hyeon transformed into a demon who committed all kinds of evil deeds.
He could not contain his anger and fought against Moorim.
In the midst of Cheonnajimang, he defeated hundreds of Jeongpa people and Sapa people.
It was a mistake by Joongwon Moorim, who failed to properly measure Yoo Min-hyeon’s strength.
If the absolute master of Moorim had stepped forward from the beginning, Yoo Min-hyeon would not have survived.

I couldn’t become stronger through struggle.
I couldn’t get rid of the horse.
Only later did an absolute martial arts expert step forward, but he was no match for Yoo Min-hyeon, who had achieved his retirement.
Everyone who came together to kill the demon named Yoo Min-hyeon ran away.
From then on, Yu Min-hyeon’s nickname became Demon Seon (魔仙), as he was said to have ascended to the devil’s sky.
‘What I feel now is similar to then.’
The emotions of the martial arts people who were running away from themselves can be felt in the traces of the nol.
‘Shall I tell Mr. Yuhan?’
Jeron’s worries were short-lived.
You might not believe it 100%, but I couldn’t just ignore it.
“Hmm. “It is impossible to tell other teachers and royal knights to step down without any solid evidence, saying it is dangerous.”
‘Ethan’s Hideout’ is 3 days away from the Academy.
The academy teachers and students came by horse-drawn carriage for combat training, which took only half a day, but the royal knights and soldiers had to drag the prisoners around.
Considering the prisoners’ travel time, the round trip distance alone takes about 6 days, plus rest and camping in between, so it takes approximately 8 to 10 days.
Moreover, there are 10 royal knights and 3,000 soldiers sent for combat training. Considering that there were only 100 prisoners, the number of troops was too large, but it was a number that took the safety of the students into consideration.
That large number consumes 10 days of time.
Finances are an issue, but time is an even bigger issue.
“If the academy was running it on its own, the schedule could be pushed back, but the royal family is different. “We will send out rangers and soldiers to scout around the area, and if we don’t find any dangerous monsters, we will take a hard-line approach.”
I wasn’t saying this because I didn’t believe what Jeron said.
The relationship between the royal family and the academy was quite strange.
To be exact, this was the relationship between the royal family and the knights and wizards belonging to the academy.
The Academy also belonged to the royal family, but had different factions.
Although Yuhan did not elaborate on the above, Jeron was able to vaguely guess it.
‘You live such a complicated life.’
Jeron stuck his tongue out. There was some awkwardness between the dispatched drivers and the teachers, and he didn’t know there was a reason for that.
I should have considered myself lucky that we didn’t get into trouble with each other.
‘I need to be prepared just in case.’
Traces of the gnolls appeared at least a few hours ago.
The entity that scared them may have escaped the area.
Any monster with even the slightest bit of intelligence would never come close, as there are many knights and soldiers.
‘But why are there no other traces?’
I’m not talking about small monsters like goblins or gremlins.
There was no trace left of an entity powerful enough to scare the gnolls.
Jeron was puzzled by that fact.
Just then, Nero spoke.
[You insignificant human kid.]
“why?”
Jeron looked at Nero. The guy was looking somewhere.
I looked in that direction, but all I could see was a dense forest of trees.
Even though I let my energy flow, I could only feel small animals like insects or rabbits.
[…] … It is nothing.]
“what?”
Jeron questioned, but Nero pretended not to hear, licking his front paw with his tongue.
A guy in this state won’t answer even if you ask him. Instead of asking the question again, I realized that something unusual had happened in ‘Ethan’s Hideout’.
‘What is it that Nero cares about?’
In the spirit arts class, teacher Jaina said that spirits are supernatural beings that are part and source of the world. When she asked if the little boy was a god, she added that if she were to compare it, it was a piece of god – as small as a fingernail – or a priest who believed in god.
‘To put it in martial terms, is it a good monster?’
The saying that there are no good monsters comes to mind.
anyway.
I couldn’t guess what Nero would care about.
If there was a Jaina teacher who mastered elemental arts, she might have figured it out, but she is currently teaching classes at the academy.
Even if it comes as quickly as possible, it will take a day.
While Jeron was lost in thought, the royal knight received word from the ranger who had finished scouting the surrounding area that there were no dangerous monsters, and decided to proceed with combat practice.
“It’ll be okay because there are wizards too.”
Jeron muttered to calm his rising anxiety.
* * *
Combat practice began.
S Class 1 became commanders and planned a strategy with 100 prisoners.
The enemy was a monster in ‘Ethan’s Hideout’.
Because the prisoners might try to escape and attack the students, the weapons and armor provided to them were extremely crude.
It was a breast play that involved using a spear with a sharp piece of stone attached to a long wooden pole and covering the chest with a thin wooden board.
“I say it again. There is no need for you to create new tactical strategies just because it is combat practice. Because it’s not a class that affects grades. Just think of it as a place to indirectly experience combat.”
Before Yuhan took care of the prisoners, he gathered the students together and spoke.
The explanation was short and concise, and precautions were also pointed out.
“Maintain a distance of 30 meters from prisoners and supervise them. If prisoners show suspicious behavior, immediately call out to the nearest teacher, driver, or soldier to let them know. Also, never go to places where there are no people.”
Yuhan finished speaking and gave the signal to the royal knight to start.
Nod.
The royal knight made the prisoners move with hand signals.
Combat practice for S Class 1 has begun.
and.
There was someone watching it from afar.

Turn back time 3 hours ago.
The group of gnolls who had divided ‘Ethan’s Hideout’ into two territories were fighting over territory as usual. When a predator appeared that they could not defeat even if the two groups combined their efforts, they howled and ran away.
As soon as the group of gnolls disappeared, a huge monster came walking with a thud.
A huge body exceeding 3m. Strong enough to easily break even thick trees. Thick leather that cannot even be scratched by swords and spears.
It was an ogre called the king of the forest.
Kaaaaaa-!
The Ogre unleashed a powerful Fear at the center of ‘Ethan’s Hideout’ and declared that this was his territory.
All beings in the forest held their breath and worshiped the new ruler.
It was just three hours before the Xerons arrived at ‘Ethan’s Hideout’.
