Days of growth (3)
Il-ho and Chil-ho were walking down a wide hallway.
It was a clean hallway with the walls, floor, and ceiling all painted white. Rather, it was a place so pure white that if you looked at it for a long time, you would feel strange.
“There is no need to be nervous.”
“yes.”
Chil-ho answered dryly to Il-ho’s words. She was far from nervous by nature, but she was honestly a little nervous now.
This is my first time coming here since I was raised in the organization. It was also the first time I saw the leader above Ilho.
I had no idea where this place was. I lost consciousness after taking the medicine Ilho gave me before coming, and when I came back to my senses, it was at the end of this hallway.
It was an obvious action that he didn’t trust her, but she didn’t feel bad.
If this makes you feel bad, how on earth should you feel about the reality of being dragged in from a childhood you can’t even remember and raised against your will? There was no need to feel bad about this, she thought.
At the end of the hallway, there was also a pure white door.
When the two people stood in front, the door opened as if they had been waiting.
Il-ho and Chil-ho entered inside. The moment he entered, Chilho was surprised.
It was a really spacious space. It was a space that truly showed what it was like to be overwhelmed by scale.
The well-decorated place had shelves full of books and expensive decorations neatly displayed.
The moment I stepped on it, I knew that the carpet on the floor was something expensive that I had never stepped on before.
At the far end of the carpet, there was a desk. Without exaggerating, the room was so large that I couldn’t see the face of the man sitting there in detail.
I thought he was going to walk along the carpet, but Ilho stopped in front of the door at the end.
The man at the desk said. Although it was far away, his voice was heard clearly.
“In the end, the Geomje was killed by a man named Unknown Daehyeop.”
It was the soft yet deep voice of a middle-aged man. Whether it was because of the power in the voice, or because of the atmosphere here, Chilho felt intimidated by that voice. At the same time, I felt uncomfortable. If you call someone, you should bring them closer and talk to them.
ji.
“That’s right.”
In response to Il-ho, the middle-aged man pointed to Chil-ho this time.
“Chilho.”
Although he called him as if he had seen him many times, Chilho saw him for the first time today.
“yes.”
“Why didn’t you chase him down?”
“Although Goemangryang and Chwirang are excellent assassins, we judged that there was a high possibility of being caught by them.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“yes.”
It was so far away that I couldn’t even see his face, but I felt like the light in his eyes caught my attention.
Chilho tried to remain as calm as possible. She was unperturbed because she had told him in advance that Goe Mang-ryang and Chwi-rang were in love with him.
If he hadn’t gone through that process, he would have thought of the Unknown Great Society at this moment and wondered if he had any personal feelings.
If so, that person or Ilho standing next to him might have felt his agitation. Because the man named Unknown Daehyup clearly shook his emotions.
Fortunately, she had enough time to think about it in advance, so she was able to answer without any disturbance.
If he had saved Goemangryang and Chwirang that day, they had saved him from danger.
“There is no way the Sword Emperor could have been defeated without martial arts. “Maybe he was poisoned?”
Ilho answered the man’s question.
“It was impossible to identify the body because it was completely burned. “We also found no traces of a fight there.”
“There’s no way we could have fought and defeated Geomje normally.”
“I think so too. In any case, what is certain is that the unknown person approached us intentionally.”
“Interesting. “Then what happened to the Demon Spirit?”
“Currently, you have been summoned to the Murim Alliance along with the Demon Army.”
There was silence for a moment. The man spoke carefully, as if he was as important as the silence.
“He made the first move.”
“Yes, it is.”
Although he did not know who ‘that person’ was, Chilho knew one thing. That there is someone else above that person whose face cannot be seen.
“Even if we don’t look for him, he will definitely appear before us again.”
The man was silent at Ilho’s words. She could sense that her man was upset. The silence was a reprimand as to whether she should wait for him to appear again.
“Go away.”
“yes.”
The two people came out again.
Chil-ho said nothing as he walked out of the hallway.
At the end of the hallway, Ilho held out a pill. It was the same medicine I had taken before coming here.
“Do you have any questions?”
Of course, I had many questions. But I didn’t want to ask. At least at this moment when these drugs are being offered.
“Yes, there is none.”
After giving a short answer, she swallowed the medicine right away.
Ping, the world spun and soon became dark.

The enlistment test for the small sword corps was the same as before.
The first time was a herbal diet, and the second time was an interview. There was no need to take the martial arts test because you could tell how good your skills were just by looking at Chosik anyway.
Of the five hundred warriors gathered, eighty were selected. They were selected based on half ability and half personality.
During the final interview, I invited the official and several swordsmen to participate. It was to establish their authority.
In this way, 80 additional swordsmen were selected.
When the eighty people were confirmed, Song Hualin came and greeted them. Even though I didn’t ask for it, he personally came to my parents’ house and helped me.

Her standing here was of great significance as it confirmed the certainty of collaboration with Song Ga-jang. Of course, the swordsmen were fascinated by her beauty rather than such political issues, and looked at me with envious eyes.
After saying hello, I thanked her for coming in.
“Thank you for coming.”
“Thank you. But there are 100 people, so it’s huge.”
One hundred people was by no means a small number. The numbers are just numbers, but the spirit of the existing swordsmen was sharp, and among the newly selected ones, there were quite a few who were just as good, so the spirit seemed enormous.
“not there yet. “You really have to have great skills.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
She was stimulated by this sight. Of course, it was definitely a positive stimulus. Because she said several times that she needed to work harder.
It wasn’t just her.
Seojung, the leader of the sword corps, and all the existing sword corps members came out to see the recruitment for the small sword brigades.
“Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
Seojung sincerely congratulated him. I could feel it. He too is stimulated by the development and growth of the small sword team. It is always stimulation that develops people. Since the organization is also led by people, the existing swordsman has become more developed.
It will sell out before.
Eighty people were added to the existing twenty sword squad members, and now the small sword squad was created with one hundred sword squad members.
However, the name was still Sogeomdae. ‘So’ here does not just mean small in number, but was a name derived from courtesy to the existing sword belt.
One hundred people were divided into five groups, from one group to five groups.
Four existing swordsman members were assigned to each group, and the person with the best skill among them was selected as the team leader.
The head of the small sword unit was appointed as Gwanhwi.
Gwanhwi became very nervous when he went from leading twenty people to leading a hundred people.
“I am not confident. “You’re still too young.”
It was a face that really made me want to run away right away.
“I’m not young. He’s just young. “There will be many people who want a young and capable sword master.”
After alleviating the burden of age, the next topic was talking about confidence. The problem now was this confidence.
“Do you think you will become more confident as you get older?”
“Isn’t it?”
“you’re welcome. As you get older, your confidence decreases. As you get older, you get by with experience. What looks like confidence is probably skill. So young you, have confidence. This is the time when you will demonstrate the greatest confidence in your life.
“I think this is a moment where I can do it.”
“all right.”
Even so, my voice still had no strength.
I had a guess as to why.
This time, someone with exceptional skills came in. His name was Yongtae (龍泰), and he was a famous military man in Shandong. Due to personal reasons, he took a break from the front line for a while, but has now joined our small sword team.
He had a good personality and reputation, and even had good skills, so it seemed like he was worried. He seemed to be saying that he should make him his lord. He was a kind of arrogant person.
“Hwiya.”
“yes.”
“Why do you think I appointed you as High Lord?”
Guan Hui could not answer.
“I do not know.”
“Because you’re handsome? Because you have a good personality? “Because you’re young?”
Embarrassed by those words, Gwanhwi shook his head violently.
“no. “I’m not good-looking and I don’t have a good personality!”
“Then because you’re strong? “Because you put in more effort than anyone else?”
“I, I… … I do not know.”
“Then I’ll tell you.”
Gwanhwi was looking the most nervous he had been since meeting me.
“Because I like you.”
Guan Hui was surprised. He didn’t expect to hear such a thing.
“There are swordsmen who are better looking than you, some with better personalities, some with superior skills, and there will be those who try harder even though there haven’t been any so far. “But I like you the most.”
Passion and emotion were mixed on Guan Hui’s face.
“So you are the head of my sword belt.”
I wasn’t lying for him. I’m not a fatalist, but sometimes I feel doomed. This is true when you look at the small sword pedestal and the officer’s command. Looking at him, I have a feeling that he will lead this small sword team better than anyone else.
And I like him more than anything else.
“Now do you see why you can be confident?”
“yes! All right.”
Gwanhwi answered energetically with a bright expression.
From the next day, the small sword team began full-scale training.
After completing the two-month special training, I plan to put it into practice immediately.
Gwanhwi was recognized by the new warriors in less than a few days with even more passion and sincerity than usual. The comments about him having to make Yongtae his master quickly subsided.
Thanks to Gwanhwi’s efforts, the four existing swordsmen who entered each group also set an example. Although four out of twenty people were only about half, it was enough to set the tone for the group.
Conflict could arise at any time. I advised Gwanhwi and other leaders not to be afraid of such conflicts.
Of course it can happen, and when that happens, don’t avoid it and solve it. In the process of resolving the issue, relationships will become stronger and the organization will become stronger.
He said not to worry even if the conflict deepens and the organization is divided. That moment may be angry, difficult, and scary, but in the end, you will overcome it all and get through it.
Lastly, he said this.
“After going through all of this, we will become the best sword team in the central region.”
The officials and leaders probably had trouble sleeping that day.

Sue finally contacted me.
The number I met at the liaison office was a bit reminiscent. The long investigation paid off.
“I learned about Namhyeonpyoguk.”
It was a careful investigation. Originally, the task of investigating a single mark could be done in an instant. However, because I had repeatedly emphasized the dangers of this matter, Sue investigated Namhyeonpyo in the most careful way she could.
“Nanxian Bureau is a bureau based in Zhejiang Province. “At first, it started with one head and four secretaries, but in just three years, it grew into a medium-sized state with five heads and seventy secretaries.”
It was not common for a country to grow like this in just three years.
“How could this happen?”
“After analyzing their past actions, we were able to find out one thing.”
“Something?”
“We pushed them to work in certain places. “We hid the fact by using several agents, but it was only one place.”
“Where is it?”
Then a surprising name was mentioned.
“This is Seongwangbo, the lord of the upper part of the continent who held the Golden Banquet this time.”
I was surprised. Seong Wang-bo, who leads the continent’s top team, was considered one of the top three players in the midfield. So he was a person who also served as the president of the Central Plains Merchants Association. He was also the host of this golden banquet.
“He’s involved?”
Could it be that he is behind this?
He was such a big figure that you would think that way.
“Are you going to approach Seongwangbo?”
After thinking for a moment, I said.
“I have to do it. But not now.”
“yes?”
“There is no need to investigate him now. “Don’t provoke them, but focus on increasing your trinocular angle for the time being.”
“I receive orders.”
I felt like I knew about them for sure now. Their power was enormous and they were woven like a spider’s web around this river. This means that you cannot eliminate one by eliminating one or rushing in.
And they are strong. If a master with similar skills had appeared right after fighting the Geomje, I would have died.
This is not the time to stamp your feet impatiently. Now is the time to become really strong.
I plan to practice quietly until this winter. The move will begin next spring.
At that time, the Taeseong Sangdan will have established itself, the Samangak will have expanded throughout the central plains, and the Small Sword and Black Panther Team will have grown further.
Crucially, when this winter comes, my inner strength will be able to fill this gap. This means that you can use the Five Chosik of Chuhonsura swordsmanship.
Considering the size of the monsters, it is time for Ochosik.
