    *** ***

    “Phew.”

    The black cat was uncomfortable with people’s gaze. If something attracts people’s attention, it can be said that an incident or accident follows.

    How long has it been since I acted while considering being exposed to people’s gaze like this?

    Black Cat read the letter while waiting for Ho Tian-an, taking his eyes off the people who were busy spying on him for a moment.

    ‘It looks like Hyukgirin Daehyup, or rather Princess Yuya, is starting her activities in earnest.’

    Currently, the high-ranking officials in the government were paying close attention to the movements of Princess Yuya, who suddenly returned. Princess Yuya suddenly barges into this situation where a fight between the powerful and the emperor is going on behind the scenes, so there is a panic trying to figure out their intentions.

    The current political movements were so chaotic that it was felt by the Wolbok Party, which deliberately did not spread its influence in Luoyang.

    ‘Senior Ho.’

    Heukmyo, who witnessed a gamble with Daogwi at a gambling house in Luoyang, realized the true nature of Hocheonan. That’s why the black cat was moving diligently.

    ‘Once the training of the trainees of the Geumuiuiui is over, the seniors will continue to expand like crazy.’

    Black Cat knew that Ho Cheon-an was sometimes envious of his talent, but from Black Cat’s perspective, it was a story that made him snort.

    It was true that there were many external factors in Hocheonan’s growth.

    They mobilized everything from the Jeomchang faction to the Hwanjinjin, and even gave Hyeongyeong’s teacher all kinds of elixirs and even diagnosed and prescribed poisonous medicine to overcome his constitution.

    ‘Because talent for nothing is not everything.’

    Although the process is important, what remains in the end is the result. It was true that Ho Cheon-an was not particularly talented, but what was it like for Ho Cheon-an to solve the problem of his constitution? It grew at an incredible rate.

    Even a black cat with a talent that Ho Cheon-an envies could not have grown so explosively in less than a few months.

    Hocheonan will grow rapidly. And the process will not be based on simple training alone. Ho Cheon-an will seek to achieve greater heights through other methods than just sweaty training.

    Therefore, Black Cat joined hands with Hyeok Kirin, who revealed his feelings for Ho Cheon-an, and stayed outside, enduring the gaze of others.

    This one month, Ho Cheon-an has been assigned as a training instructor for the Geumuiui Committee. Although it seemed to have stopped, Ho Cheon-an was preparing a stepping stone to move forward. He is planning something for the trainees and is replenishing his needs at the Imperial Palace Military High School and the Imperial Palace Military High School and planning for the future.

    ‘So I have to improve too.’

    The black cat was above Hocheonan. He was also the head of an intelligence organization called Wolbokdang. However, the black cat was not at ease. No, rather, there was a sense of crisis.

    The image of Hocheonan shown at the gambling table remained deep in the black cat’s heart.

    The essence of Hocheonan is to only look at opportunities rather than feel fear even in the face of crisis.

    It was too pure and blind to be called madness, and too intelligent to be described as madness.

    ‘If you let your guard down because you think you have an advantage over your senior, you’ll be caught up in a near miss.’

    That’s why the black cat was outside right now. To take even one step forward when Hocheonan is at a standstill. To train to hide one’s identity in a normal way without relying solely on black spirit qigong.

    Maybe I chose someone who was too difficult to be with. Feeling uncomfortable with the stares coming from all directions, the black cat complained like that.

    Of course, that didn’t stop the black cat from escaping into the guest room.

    When the black cat was trying to overcome the uncomfortable gaze. The three trainees also arrived at the Yongsang Gaekjan and sat down.

    “Indeed, you can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world.”

    Jo Ga-ju exclaimed politely. In fact, Jo Ga-ju didn’t really believe the rumors about the black cat. If you cover your face with cotton thread, how can you tell whether you have the best white color in the world or not?

    “The saying that you can’t block the sun with your palm comes to mind.”

    Jo Ga-ju was just amazed when he saw the black cat in person. An overwhelming appearance that is difficult to cover with just one cotton thread.

    “Huh, this is my first time seeing such a beauty.”

    Corn also let out an exclamation. Yongsang Gaekjan was a famous restaurant in Luoyang, and I thought it was a businessman’s bluff that people flocked to such an extent that the restaurant was full, but Yongsang Gaekjan’s restaurant was actually fully booked.

    Kangchumoru also looked at the black cat and agreed.

    “If I had come a little late, I wouldn’t have had a seat. If I had gone back without being able to see something like this, I might have felt so wronged that I would have been devastated.”

    When I looked at the entrance, I saw Jeomsoi bowing his head and asking three young people to go back, saying that the place was full. If I had arrived a little later, I would have had no choice but to go back like those three people over there.

    “Hey, Jeomsoy! Please take my order.”

    “Yes, I’ll be there soon!”

    Jeomsoy became angry and approached the three people, and the three people ordered food.

    “A bottle each of bamboo leaf greens and white wine and a moderately oily noodle dish, is there anything better?”

    “The beef noodles are excellent here!”

    “Good. And a fatty pork dish…”

    Corn, which was ordering, raised its head. This was because the young men from earlier were standing behind Jeomsoy.

    “Do you have something to do with us?”

    When Kangchumoru asked with a frown, one of the young men said.

    “Aren’t you the trainees of Geumui?”

    “…That’s right.”

    “It looks like you are, after all, trainees in their twenties. We are trainees of Unit 7.”

    Gangchumoru and Jo Ga-ju looked at Corn, but Corn also shook its head. Although Cornus was a strong player, there was no time to interact with other teams after Hocheonan started training. Because I was just busy taking care of myself through the harsh training that continued every day.

    “Could you please share our seats? We also want to have a meal at this restaurant.”

    “Um.”

    The complexions of the three people frowned slightly. The other eleven units looked down on the twelve units with Ho Cheon-an as a training instructor. Although there was no particular conflict, there were quite a few people who pointed their fingers and laughed at the Twelfth Division training or PR training.

    The trainee who spoke first looked embarrassed. This was because Unit 12 knew that the feelings towards other units could not be good.

    At that time, the trainee behind him grabbed the shoulder of the trainee in front and came forward and shouted.

    “Those stragglers can’t get out of the way quickly enough!”

    “….What did you say just now?”

    Jo Ga-ju let out a cold voice.

    The trainee, who frowned at Jo Ga-ju’s momentum, raised his voice even more.

    “Aren’t you guys who are only doing basic physical training, let alone improving your martial arts skills, already guaranteed to be eliminated from the 12th division? What kind of losers would want to drink in such a luxurious restaurant!”

    Fire soared from the eyes of the three people. Corn understood why that trainee came out so strong. The commotion must have aroused interest because the woman from Sinbi-myeon was keeping an eye on this area.

    Do these kids look down on us? Ok Soo-ju wanted to grab her fist and rush at her right away, but she clenched her fist and trembled.

    It wasn’t a case of force. Although the one in front who was strong was the best, Jo Ga-ju was also the best, and the two behind him were top-notch. It was worth sticking around, but…

    The problem was that this place was Yongsang Gaekjan.

    ‘It has already been revealed that we are in the Twelfth Division, so if we start a fight here, it will be reported directly to the instructor.’

    The Twelfth Division, to which they were supplying food every day, caused a commotion at Yongsang Gaekjan, so they had no choice but to get into Ho Cheon-an’s ears in some way.

    “Ha, you brats with no pride! I can’t wait to turn it off!”

    The trainee of Unit 7, who had no way of knowing such circumstances, decided that the three people were scared and shouted even more vigorously.

    “Hey, you bastard!”

    Cao Jiazhu stopped Kangchumoru from rushing towards him because he couldn’t stand it anymore.

    “Stop it! If things continue like this and we are stopped from going out next week, how will we see the faces of our classmates?”

    “….Damn it!”

    The 7th Battalion trainee was about to make a further provocation while looking at Kangchu Anoru shaking his fist.

    “Small cooperatives there.”

    Okeum, which immediately suppresses the commotion of Yongsang Gaekjan.

    Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the black cat. Even the Geumui trainees who were involved in the argument turned their heads.

    “Would you like to join me?”

    “Heo Eok, it’s an honor!”

    The trainee of the Seventh Division responded quickly, but the black cat’s reply was cold as it returned.

    “Not that one. There…the twelfth generation people.”

    The Seventh Division trainee’s face turned red. However, Cho Ga-ju, Kangchu Moru, and Corn were already forgotten from the minds of the trainees of the Seventh Division. No, such a beautiful woman suddenly joins us…? why?

    “Do you not like it?”

    Of course, the three did not refuse.

    *** ***

    The messy guest room was cleaned up. The Seventh Battalion trainees who were kicked by the black cat couldn’t overcome their shame and ran out, and other lucky guests took their original seats, which had become Muju Gongsan.

    ‘…He’s an expert.’

    Jo Ga-ju was impressed by the appearance of the black cat up close, but at the same time raised awareness. You can’t understand the other person’s state at all. Let alone understanding, I was confused about whether the person in front of me even existed. Could this be someone who has learned advanced assassination techniques?

    “Thank you for inviting me here. Sojeo.”

    “Special words.”

    Jo Ga-ju got goosebumps because Kangchumoru was making a sound that sounded like it was going to be deadly.

    Corn couldn’t even look at the black cat to see if it had a temperament of mugwort veins.

    “No. Those guys earlier… they were a fist away if they were honest, but they were having trouble because it wasn’t the charlatan’s duty to make a fuss in a guesthouse… Thank you for your help.”

    “You don’t have to feel burdened because you just met and helped the person you were meant to meet.”

    Kangchumoru swallowed his saliva. Is there anyone among the three who has a connection with this peerless beauty? The three people made eye contact with each other, but all they could see were the incomprehensible expressions of their classmates.

    “I…perhaps. Can you tell me who you are related to?”

    “Hehe, I don’t know. You will find out soon.”

    At Black Cat’s words, Gangchumoru started operating the happiness circuit. Is this a relationship that passed by when you were young? Yes, I too was a fatal man when I was a boy. It might be one of the Sojeos that I had feelings for at that time.

    The place where the four of us sat together was quickly filled with alcohol and food. Currently, the top priority for entertaining guests is, of course, the black cat. Because Yongsang Gaekjan knew very well who it was that made it so full every morning and evening.

    “You are trainees of the 12th division of the Geumuiwiui…I hope you have a hard time.”

    “Hahaha! I’m just working hard day and night for the empire.”

    “Hehe. okay. Get a drink.”

    Heukmyo picked up Xiaohongju and filled the three people’s glasses. The three people thought as they raised their glasses and passed drinks.

    Sweet!

    Xiaohongju is a liquor with a long history, and at the same time, its taste varies greatly depending on the quality of the liquor. However, the three people realized that from now on, no matter what kind of Sohongju they drink, they will never be able to drink a more delicious Sohongju.

    “Keuuuu!”

    Depending on their taste, the three people picked up fatty meat dishes such as raw fish or beef intestines and shoved them into their mouths. The food melted on the tongue as the chefs put extra effort into serving the special customer, a black cat, at Yongsanggaekjan, which is famous for being a high-class guest cup.

    Corn said, crying.

    “Good thing you went out…”

    “Hehe.”

    “Hahaha!”

    The black cat laughed slightly at Corn’s muttering, and seeing that, the two relaxed and laughed as well.

    happiness!

    As the three people were looking at each other with such happiness that they felt as if they were floating on clouds, the black cat saw the entrance and waved its hand.

    “Here!”

    The three people’s eyes turned to the sight of a black cat calling out to someone.

    Hocheonan was standing there.

    The three people froze. As Hocheonan approached, the three woke up without realizing it.

    “What are you guys doing here?”

    There was no way the three people, whose minds were blank, could answer. The black cat laughed as he looked at the three people who were frozen in cold sweat.

    “We met by chance, and since we weren’t strangers, we sat together for a while.”

    “Really? But why are you suddenly standing there?”

    Three people sat down at the speed of light.

    “So, did you get any results?”

    “Hmm. I tried to stop by Vigo when I could, but it would be difficult to get there. From now on, I will diligently stop by Mugo every Sunday.”

    The three held their breath. A black cat with honey dripping from its eyes! Even though he was wearing cotton, anyone could see that he was looking at his lover.

    And the three people were filled with fear that froze their spines. In particular, Kangchumoru’s whole body trembled.

    Three people fell from heaven to hell in an instant!

    “You guys are really pretty. Even after eating so much food, you go out and come here again?”

    Ho Tian-an shook his head, and the three people just stared with pale faces.

    “Hey~ It looks like you are teaching quite strictly?”

    “Just do what you learned. you. Here, the main building is just one guest. Don’t be so frozen, take a drink at a time.”

    “Evil! Ah, no..! Yes!”

    The three people thought as they drank the alcohol that Ho Cheon-an poured for them. It was the exact same Sohongju as before, but it didn’t taste good at all.

    Ho Cheon-an asked a question to lighten the mood.

    “So Gaju Jo, did you hit the spear?”

    “Yes! We’ll report it to you!”

    Jo Ga-joo, who was already in a tense state, quickly confessed what happened at the Gwangcheol Workshop today.

    “Hmm. Gwangjae-ryeon’s workshop was in such a state…”

    Ho Cheon-an stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly. I was lost in thought because I was suddenly given unexpected information. Looking at the three people who were still frozen, Ho Cheon-an thought that the atmosphere was unlikely to become calm.

    Then I have no choice but to avoid the place.

    “Yes. Drink in moderation and go home on time.”

    “Evil! No yes!”

    The three people watched Ho Cheon-an going up to his room and the black cat naturally rising along with Ho Cheon-an, and it was not until the two people completely disappeared from their sight. I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

    “Whoaa….”

    “My deceased grandfather appeared before my eyes…”

    The three people who were thrown from heaven to hell in an instant and returned to this world were exhausted and slumped in their seats.

    How long has it been like that?

    Corn murmured.

    “I’m so fucking jealous of the instructor…”

    Gaju Cho silently filled the glasses of his classmates with alcohol. The three people who made a toast drank in silence.

    The Sohongju, which was sweet and tasteless, was extremely bitter.
