Clap clap clap!

Master Myeong Jin received generous applause after finishing his last performance. Some of the children were crying because they heard that the prayer meeting was ending, and Hyeok Gi-rin ran to comfort them.

I also approached the Zen masters.

“Thank you for your hard work. Masters.”

“Hehehe…you worked hard day and night, thank you for your hard work.”

There were proud smiles on the faces of the Zen masters. I guess it’s a sense of accomplishment that I’ve accomplished one thing, that I’ve overcome one hurdle.

From the Zen masters’ perspective, I thought it was quite possible.

“Something…I feel like I’ve ignited my passion for the first time in a very long time.”

“Yes. I see…it’s been a really long time.”

Zen masters who agree with what a Zen master said. There must be certain emotions that only members of the fortune-singing group and those who are elderly feel. The Zen masters were looking at the backs of their disciples returning to their lodgings with emotional expressions on their faces.

Looking at the back, I thought this wasn’t right.

The calm smiles of the Zen masters, as they stroke their beards and meditate. And the disciples who look lively and happy. And even a black cat sneakily caught in between.

If this scene were a movie, it felt like the subtitle [–Fin-] would be printed.

No, why does it feel like it’s already over? Only half a month has passed.

There was a need to brighten the mood a bit.

“How was it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Hanging out with kids.”

“Hmm…”

Each of the Zen masters looked as if they were thinking about one thing or another. Since it wasn’t a question I particularly wanted an answer to, I started talking right away.

“Children are immediate. Isn’t that right?”

The Zen masters nodded.

“Because the Zen masters have changed, the children immediately become friendly with the Zen masters and follow them.”

“That is correct.”

The Zen masters and the children quickly became closer through the prayer meeting. However, even if it wasn’t for the prayer meeting, if the Zen masters had treated the children like they do now, it would only have taken time for us to become closer to each other.

“Now we have just hit the first button. It’s just that the distance from the children has become closer. The Zen masters said that it was enough to just let the children run around on the first day. That’s because I just saw it from afar.”

The Zen masters must have had a desperate desire to take good care of the children. There were several curtains blocking the way. The position of Zen masters is that they must strictly discipline children. Children who find it difficult for seniors who are strong in martial arts. And there were many practical problems, such as the awkwardness of not having a common denominator.

“Not long after I started staying at the Jeomchang School, the Zen masters were looking at the children from a faraway place than me, an outsider. So, I knew children better than the Zen masters.”

“Hmm…”

“That might be right.”

There was seriousness in the eyes of the Zen masters. I looked into the eyes of the Zen masters and shook my head inwardly. It seems that each of the Zen masters felt several things, knowingly or unknowingly, as the distance between them and the children narrowed.

“Now the Zen masters are closer to the children than I am. So from now on, you should see it for yourself.”

Because what I can teach you is not education, but skills.

In fact, even if I had not interfered, the children of the Jeomchang Sect would have grown up well. The Zen masters were sincere toward their students, and sincerity always works. Hyeok Kirin grew up like that, and Yeo Il-ye, who burned hatred, engraved the teachings of Jeomchang on his body. What can I say?

However, you can only know the ways of an adult when you become an adult.

What should I do? Since a child cannot become an adult, an adult must understand the child’s feelings. I only provide a means to reach the children, but it is up to the Zen masters to understand their hearts.

“Um.”

Magic was not the solution. It was just a vehicle that made it possible to approach the problem. The Zen masters have now reached the children and will face real problems in the future.

To make that point clear to the Zen masters, I am speaking to set the tone.

But did I say it too loudly? The faces of the Zen masters were filled with dark clouds.

“Phew. It’s difficult. Just learning the technique makes my nose ache, but now is the beginning.”

“Uh-huh, why are you speaking so weakly! Wasn’t this something you had already prepared for?”

“That is correct. You weren’t planning on solving everything with Do-woo’s help alone!”

“Whew, it would be nice if there were some results before embarking on the path of fable.”

Cold sweat broke out on my back. I didn’t want this kind of atmosphere… but it seems like the masters were pushed to their limits during the last two weeks of their journey, without showing any signs of it.

Now it occurred to me that the emotional exhaustion of the Zen masters over the past 11 days must have been extreme.

Even in competition programs, there were at least one or two contestants who could not overcome their nervousness and showed strange behavior or burst into tears because they could not bear the stress.

The 11th is the day to repeat what you learned the night before the next day. I just did my homework and practiced martial arts in a carefree manner, but the Zen masters also had routines. I practiced in my spare time while completing my daily routine and had the results evaluated every day for nearly two weeks.

…this was my fault. I whipped the Zen masters, who were almost completely white, and it felt like it was the final blow and the Zen masters collapsed.

The Zen masters’ shoulders had dropped at least two or three inches and even their beards were drooping!

“Oh, no! Masters! Haven’t you worked hard so far to make the children happy? Children’s smiles! Isn’t that the most valuable thing?”

“Hehe…that’s true, but…”

“I’m glad the kids had fun…”

The atmosphere was suddenly shattered!

Cold sweat started running down my back.

“The teachers have done a good job so far. There is no need to be so disappointed. Wouldn’t the actions of Zen masters be a lesson to their disciples?”

The Zen masters looked at me with indifferent eyes. Okay, let’s try to restore some of the Zen masters’ mental strength by showering them with a parade of praise right now.

“What would the disciples think when they see Zen masters working so hard for children? Wouldn’t you be moved by the passion for children, or students, and want to follow the Zen masters even more!”

“Hmph. We did try a little harder…?”

“Okay, if you made it this far with your old body, you did well.”

Now that I think about it, I’ve praised the kids for doing well, but I’ve never praised the teachers for doing well. The Zen masters emphasized that children are people too, but I don’t think the Zen masters actually saw them as people.

I felt dizzy when I heard that I had to soothe the anger of seniors, whose average age is estimated to be 60 to 70 years old, but it was something to calm down and think about for now.

At that moment, Black Cat and White Kirin were on their way back from dropping off their children. The two people who received my urgent gesture approached quickly.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop! What is the reputation of Zen Masters among their students these days?”

“Yes?”

Hyuk Kirin opened his mouth with an expression that made me not sure whether he understood my deadly blink or not.

“Of course, positive stories are bound to come out about Zen masters. There must be some students who are a little surprised by the sudden change.”

“Keohum.”

“Hehehehe…”

When I wondered what this cough was, it was a satisfying cough.

“Okay, black cat, what do you think when you see it?”

“Hmm.”

The black cat looked at me and the Zen masters and made a snort as if it understood the situation.

“It was great to see you actively trying to reach out to children. As a judge, I was always impressed while watching their efforts.”

“Ugh!”

“That young woman knows something!”

Regardless of age, a compliment from a beautiful woman can make even a whale dance. I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw the Zen masters covering their mouths as they struggled to ascend to heaven.

Now, in conclusion, I think we can say something meaningful, strengthen our spirits, and start tomorrow by taking classes on theory or application instead of doing assignments.

“The teachers’ actions and efforts were valuable in themselves. When teaching archery, it is said that a gentleman draws the bow and does not let go. It is said that even if it is just a protest, a capable person will learn how to shoot an arrow if he or she shows appropriate attitude and behavior.”

I took my eyes off the Zen masters and looked away, extending my hand in the direction where the student had disappeared.

“A member of the old file room. It can be said that the disciples of the Jeomchang Sect are truly capable people. Just showing the efforts and passion of the Zen masters was the same as inciting a protest, so wouldn’t the disciples of the Jeomchang school also realize the intentions and intentions of the Zen masters and learn how to shoot arrows on their own?”

I tore and tore.

It wasn’t wrong, just because it was packaged nicely. If Zen masters show that kind of love, their disciples should also crawl on their own, even if they have no intention of doing so! Even disciples who were not particularly interested in brotherly relationships among brothers and sisters could not help but be influenced by the attitude shown by the Zen masters now.

“So, if Zen masters show an attitude of working hard to learn, their students will also imitate that attitude of learning, so it can be said to have a positive influence on the sect.”

“Starting tomorrow, rather than giving an assignment, I will lecture on the principles of why these hand techniques can deceive people and the operation of such movements. Rather than simply following along, it can be said to be a process of understanding with your head and developing application skills.”

“It may be more difficult for Zen teachers than it is now. New knowledge. Applying the new theory won’t be easy.”

After saying that, I looked at him for a moment. No, why aren’t you saying anything? Was a brief compliment not enough? That can’t be possible.

Before I turned around, I glanced around for a moment to see what the black cat and the white giraffe were thinking. Black Cat and White Kirin were only looking at the Zen Masters as if they had nails stuck in them.

“Masters?”

Sensing that something was going wrong, I swallowed dryly and turned around.

All of the Zen masters were also holding their breath and staring at one person.

Master Unjong.

Master Unjong was in a constant state of shaking with his eyes half-open. Slightly open mouth and unnaturally stiff appearance.

This is like. No…not as if.

Master Unjong entered a state of enlightenment.

“Oh….”

The words from earlier passed by like lightning. Yes, I did.

As I said before, I was a person who lived an ordinary life. He worked at a normal company, played the same game for 10 years, and on his days off, he just watched YouTube.

Where have I ever heard such a fancy saying that a gentleman uses a bow blah blah blah?

Where are you going? You must have heard it on Enlightenment DB.

Gentleman is bulbal (君子引而不發) Yagyaya (躍如也) Irip the middle way (中道而立) Neungjajongji (能子從之).

“Ho Ronnin…?”

Hyukkirin muttered as if possessed. Hyuk Kirin is well aware of the fact that he gave enlightenment to Yeo Il-ye. However, I also brought enlightenment to Master Unjong.

The eyes of the Zen masters, who had suddenly accepted the reality that their fellow Zen master had attained enlightenment, focused on me one by one.

And I am breaking into a cold sweat as I look at him all at once.

There was only silence in front of the guest hall.
