The Academy is not a forbidden area.

That’s because there are many husbands and wives working there, and there are many ladies in charge of the kitchen.

What if I asked if there were no female bachelors?

And that’s not it either.

Occasionally, exchange meetings for female writers are held, and classes are held by former ladies of the imperial palace who wish to become ladies.

However, asking for a place for women to be created at the Academy’s Taehak lectures is a slightly different story.

“Master Shi Ganghak, I understand how much you care for your student, but isn’t this unprecedented? The only thing you can do is listen to lectures during your stay, even if it is said that you can do so at your discretion.”

Master Taehak, the most senior member of the academy, expressed his disapproval.

Listening to a lecture simply means that you are asked to sit in a corner of the lecture hall and listen quietly with your ears.

In Taehak’s lecture, everyone speaks in the same tense and gives their own interpretation, and everyone listening adds their own interpretations to discuss with each other, gradually expanding the words of the sage and the concept of Confucianism.

This was an academic activity that involved teaching scholars who were still young (meaning young in learning, not age) and gradually broadening the scope of Confucian teachings.

Are you asking me to include someone who is not affiliated with the academy?

A woman who is not even a man?

It’s not even a giant.

It’s vague nonsense to say that I started without even learning the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism.

If a Buddhist Taoist has read the scriptures once and learned the basics of elementary school, then by the Academy’s standards, it means that he is a child with the intelligence of roughly six to ten years old.

It may be unfair for the government to hear this.

Still, no matter how much I read Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, it could be said that it was not academic, but anal.

However, this is the Academy.

It’s easy to understand if you put it in martial terms.

Let’s say there is a place where masters of the highest level or higher can gather and share the higher principles of martial arts beyond the sword lecture.

What kind of third-rate warrior appears there?

And when a famous Confucian scholar, who was not a martial artist, appeared, I also learned martial arts.

What, your level is low? Then it’s like people are complaining that what I learned was literature and not martial arts.

So, if Cheong intervenes, the academics of the academy will naturally feel bad.

The youngest prodigy of the political faction, the famous Shinryong?

That’s the story of Moorim.

This is Yurim. This is it.

Even who is Cheon Yu-Hak?

As a lecturer at the Academy of Arts, he is by far the greatest lecturer in the world.

He is a great scholar of the world to whom scholars all over the world turn their eyes to learn a word of teaching.

A giant like that suddenly becomes a child and brings in a martial artist?

The great Muhak master in the world suddenly becomes my favorite student. Bring me a Confucian scholar who has barely mastered a third-rate sword technique.

How do the martial people feel?

At that, Cheon Yu-hak opens his mouth again.

“Inspiration, listen to me.”

For reference, inspiration here is an honorific term.

“A person’s heart cannot be peaceful, so honestly, I feel more drawn to my favorite disciple. Isn’t it the karma of being born as a human being? However, there is a difference between caring for a favorite student more than a disciple and exploiting a disciple for the sake of a favorite student. I’m not that bad of a person.”

He may save more or less, but he does not use or exploit other disciples.

Taehaksa nods his head at him.

“Wouldn’t you like to spend half a year wandering around the world and seeing what’s going on in the world? I assure you that if Cheong participates in the lecture, everyone will benefit and achieve great things together, and it will never be harmful.”

Taehaksa raises his eyebrows.

“Is that possible? It is natural for a man to covet a woman, and just because he is a scholar does not mean he is not a man, so when a woman joins the discussion of Confucianism, the man’s passions naturally have no choice but to follow suit. People’s passions are limited, so if they focus on one thing, they end up neglecting other things. I am concerned that everyone will become neglectful of their studies.”

“I guess so. Trust me and just give it a try.”

“Keuhum. That’s because it’s never happened before. Don’t you know what the precedent is?”

Whoever takes action first and leaves a record in history can easily make it easier for everyone to follow suit and make excuses.

“Furthermore, from what I heard, it is the best of the martial arts world? Among women, she is famous for her off-white color, but I don’t know what Shiganghaksa is thinking.”

“Then let’s just do it for one week, just one week. Please take a look at it too. So, if you say it is a disruption to my lecture, then I will take it out without saying anything.”

“Mmm. If Master Shigang says so.”

Master Taehak has an expression of reluctance and nods his head with an arrogant expression, like a scholar who has been told to try something evil.

So, after Cheong ate a hearty breakfast, he stood on the podium of Taehakdang and looked at the scholars.

I must have had a hearty breakfast for no reason, but I feel like my stomach is full, even though my body has super-human digestive power.

Somehow, I don’t feel like everyone is looking at me so kindly.

“Let’s sleep. Be quiet. This is my favorite student, Seomuncheong. It may be sudden, but since we are studying together in this summer’s contest, shouldn’t we receive a proper greeting?”

Rather, confusion spreads.

“Elderly? Are you my favorite student?”

“If it is Seomuncheong, isn’t it Seomuncheong? I heard that he is a young expert who is said to be the student of the best female student.”

“Ah. Three-headed Cain! Somehow, I felt like I had heard of it.”

Cheong’s expression darkened at that.

That guy’s triceps sound won’t go away.

Anyway, inside Taehakdang, a place of conversation was opened where everyone could whisper to everyone.

Cheong looked back at Cheon Yu-Hak.

is this right?

It doesn’t look like anything is being resolved at all.

However, Cheon Yu-hak only slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said this.

“ character. Say hello to your seniors. ah. So, are you planning on not showing your face to the seniors who will be studying with you from now on? Originally, when a person sees something for the first time, the impression remains for the rest of their life, so would you cover your face and remain as an invisible woman?”

hmm. I don’t know if this is right.

But since you have your own thoughts, I wonder if you are doing what you are told to do.

Cheong quickly pulls down the cotton thread.

And time stopped.

The inside of Taehakdang, where the sound is muted at once, as if there was a pause.

This is the moment when the harmful beauty that everyone unanimously praises as the best beauty in the world, except for a few people’s tastes, is revealed without any cover.

“Hello? Seo Mun-cheong of Murim Malhak sends greetings to Confucian scholars. Even though the girl has only a short period of time to learn and doesn’t know anything, she said that it is not shameful not to know, but to not know, so I would like to ask my seniors to give me a lot of guidance.”

“Oh, it’s an old story about Confucius.”

At that, Cheong’s expression becomes innocent.

It is a face that anyone can recognize at a glance. It is a face that clearly shows the ignorance of not knowing anything.

Confucius and Heavenly Lord? what? Why is it cool?

What kind of special move is this?

“ character. Did you see it? Is there a great senior here who can explain the ancient history of Confucius and Heavenly Father to your youngest?”

For a moment, I thought they were looking at each other, but then hands came up from all over the place.

“Okay. 3 Bachelors was the fastest. Try teaching sometime.”

“Yes. When Confucius arrived in the Jin Dynasty, an unknown person who admired the way of scholars presented him with a precious bead.”

It is not for nothing that they say that beads must be threaded to be treasured. In this day and age, beads must first be strung on a thread to become a decoration no matter where they are hung.

So when Confucius tried to thread the thread, he found that some kind of top had drilled a hole in this precious bead, and the hole was so winding and complicated that the thread could not fit through it.

Confucius, who had been trying for a while, finally threw away the beads and grunted. Then a thought occurred to him: Isn’t stringing beads a job that women originally specialized in?

So, instead of whining and thinking to yourself, ask the woman and she will know.

So in the end, I succeeded in stringing the beads beautifully. This was because I politely asked for the answer without belittling the other person because she was a lowly woman.

Therefore, asking questions because you do not know is something that a gentleman should do and is not something to be ashamed of.

Also, since each person is good at something and knows something different, we should never ignore others and acknowledge that their wisdom is different.

This is the same thing that Cheon Yu-Hak advises the academics of the academy.

It was then.

Cheong flashes a big smile and fawns in an attitude that would make anyone who knows Cheong ask if he ate something wrong.

“Wow, you’re so knowledgeable. Since you are a learned person, please explain in an easy way. Thank you.”

“Keuhum, that’s too much praise, too much praise. There is no one among the alumni here who does not know this… … ”

“Yes, even though Cheonhwageom here is a martial artist, he came to this school and said he admired the world-famous scholar, so he came to me more than ten times a day on the 30th day of the month and asked me for wisdom. When Yu Gong wanted to seek Zhuge’s wisdom, he visited him three times, and even more so, he knelt down on his knees more than ten times a day and sought the words of the sage. I was so impressed by him that I took him as his disciple.”

Anyway, I had everything lined up.

Still, I have to say something that makes sense.

I wondered who would believe that.

“Ohh.”

hmm. I believe that again.

Cheong, who has difficulty managing his facial expressions, pretends to be shy and puts on his cotton thread again.

Ah, a slightly regretful sigh.

So, a strange junior came to Taehakdang and the lectures took place for one day, then two days, and then three days.

“Inspiration. How do you feel? Do you still think you need to kick out my disciple?”

“Huh, indeed. Because I’m dumbfounded. Are you focusing on your studies to impress women?”

Master Taehak was convinced.

Cheon Yu-hak believed in the beauty of Qing.

Just throw it away and give him a slap in the face, and say that he likes smart people, and simple people will be most motivated to give lectures.

So, the person who solves the tense tries to explain it as easily as possible, and the person who sends a word to it tries to somehow look cooler.

The problem is that Yurim’s ability to look cool means adding interpretations with very plausible writing and helping to expand its scope.

So, at every lecture, they show up with their swords sharpened and a fierce discussion unfolds.

So Cheon Yu-hak was satisfied.

Taehaksa Temple was also satisfied.

Bachelors who participate in high-quality lectures will ultimately be satisfied.

And Cheongman was to die for.

“It will turn.”

“Cheer up.”

“You, traitor.”

Jin Jang-myeong avoids studies altogether and goes to work at the Hangsan Military Office.

Hengshan Wu Guan is a lay sect of the Hengshan sect, and the Hengshan sect is a member of the traditional Taoist sect, so it seems there is no burden to come and go.

When I leisurely return in the evening and see Jin Jang-myeong repairing his wooden sword, I feel a desire to go and wield the sword as well.

Why am I the only one studying when we come together?

“What are you doing?”

“Tense preparation… … ”

Although it is tense, it is not possible for Cheong to announce something in front of the Confucian scholars.

But why do you do what Cheon Yu-hak tells you to do?

I thought you might be able to help me in some way.

Cheon Yu-hak is busy.

I’m wondering if I’m even sleeping properly because I’m busy interpreting the grocery store map.

How on earth do you interpret grocery sales?

A few wedges, a few squiggly lines,

And a number here and a number there. If you hold it up to the light, a few more lines will come out, and if you put it in water, a few more numbers will come out.

When Cheong looked at it, he wondered what kind of map this was, but ever since Cheong came, except when we eat together, he spends all his time doing grocery shopping.

So, Master is so preoccupied with the grocery store that he can’t see clearly.

Jang Myeong took turns visiting the military attachés of political factions in Taewon, engaged in sword fighting, and then returned at dusk.

Cheong sighs and looks at the book.
