“Aaaah!!!!”

Screaming, the short-haired girl swung her fist.

However, her attacks do not reach.

It was only the two cities that attacked without stopping.

I tried my best to tear the opponent in front of me to pieces, but the opponent only looked a little tired and had no trouble breathing.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

Facing an insurmountable wall in front of her, Yeom Jin, a girl with short hair, placed her hands on the ground.

“Are you done?”

The face of a hateful teacher who looks at himself with an indifferent expression.

“Why… Master… Why!!!”

Yeomjin screamed, squeezing his neck.

The teacher was indifferent to her cries.

“He was a good kid. He was a child who worked harder than anyone else. But… but why!!! Why do you make such a cruel decision!”

“Jina. Do you know how peace in this martial arts world continues?”

At the teacher’s unexpected words, Yeomjin raised his head.

“New achievements appear every year. And they increase their power by breaking taboos.”

“Do you know how dangerous those who have abandoned humanity are?”

Yeom Jin could not say anything in response to his teacher’s question.

The achievements he encountered while wandering the rivers with his teacher and his students were all strong.

“Their methods become more cruel and efficient day by day. On the other hand, we have no choice but to keep practicing in the same way.”

The teacher approached Yan Jin and lowered his posture. Today, no matter how hard I tried, the distance I could not reach became closer.

The teacher continued speaking while stroking the back of Yeom Jin, who was lying face down.

“That’s why ‘promotion’ is a necessary evil. That is why voiceless death is meaningful.”

From the point where the teacher’s hand touched, a cool energy slowly invaded my body.

Yeomjin’s head seemed to be becoming clearer.

“The fish that a fisherman catches, the meat that a butcher sells… it is only meaningful if you eat it all. And they prove their value by being eaten by humans.”

“He took in an orphan who had no one to rely on and treated him well for five years. Museong will definitely have nothing to feel unfair about.”

It was nonsense.

However, strangely enough, Yeom Jin had no choice but to calmly accept his teacher’s words.

For some reason, I felt that way.

After all the talismanic emotions were burned away, all that was left to her was the name Yeomryun-gong and her enormous inner strength.

and….

It was the realization that the act of ‘promotion’ was for the sake of justice.

***

‘This is the driving force behind Yan Lun Gong’s continuation and the reason why Wulin is peaceful.’

Yeom Jin, who inherited his teacher’s will, was firm in his thoughts.

The visible provocation aroused Soyou’s anger.

And when she attacks with flames, I deal with her appropriately and wait for those flames to burn up all her emotions.

Continue your attacks until you are so exhausted that you can no longer stand.

That was what Yeomjin had to do.

“……”

Soyou was furious and didn’t say anything.

However, the flame that was so deadly that it made her skin tingle and that felt like it would burn her if she got close to it indirectly represented her feelings.

‘I thought I had become stronger, but… if I do this wrong, I could die.’

After losing Museong, Yeom Jin was inwardly surprised as he recalled the strength he had gained.

Although it is said to be a provocation, it was because the amount of internal energy that Soyou had gained was abnormally large.

Let’s hope we avoid the threat of death by just one piece of paper.

The movement of ownership gradually slowed down.

‘Not much time left.’

The once sharp trajectory of the regime wavered irregularly.

Yeomjin thought as he felt sweat running down his back.

“……”

Soyou’s movements stopped.

Looking at his disciple breathing heavily, Yeom Jin maintained an appropriate distance.

“As expected… I can’t beat Master.”

Soyou spoke, not as a resentment, but as if he had realized something.

“Soyou. Do you know how peace in this martial arts world continues?”

Yeom Jin followed exactly what his teacher said.

It stimulates the sense of justice that a martial artist of a political faction should have.

“New achievements appear every year. And they increase their power by breaking taboos.”

“Do you know how dangerous those who have abandoned humanity are?”

Soyou did not give any response to Yeomjin’s question.

“Their methods become more cruel and efficient day by day. On the other hand, we have no choice but to keep practicing in the same way.”

Yeomjin carefully approached Soyou.

“That’s why ‘promotion’ is a necessary evil. That’s why Inho’s death is meaningful.”

Yan Jin gathered energy in his hands. It was to calm down one’s emotions by placing a bet on Soyou.

Yeom Jin firmly believed that Soyou’s head, broken by excitement, would definitely regain his composure.

“The fish that a fisherman catches, the meat that a butcher sells… it is only meaningful if you eat it all. And they prove their value by being eaten by humans.”

Yeomjin gently stretched out his hand and placed it on Soyou’s head.

Just like I once patted Soyou on the head to praise him for completing a task…

Yeomjin stroked Soyou’s head with sincerity, remembering how Soyou found and liked the stability in him that he did not feel from his own parents.

“Do not forget that everything is for peace and justice in the world.”

The beam that flowed from Yan Jin’s hand passed through Su Yu’s head and spread throughout his body.

“Master.”

Her student, whose breathing had stabilized, looked at her with clear eyes.

“Why are you doing that?”

Seeing Soyou’s unique and lovely old self, Yeomjin looked at her with a big smile.

– tup

Soyou’s right hand grabbed Yeom Jin’s arm.

And the strength of his grip gradually increased.

“Ugh… Soyou?”

A flame rose little by little from Soyou’s right hand.

“What kind of modification are you making now?”

Soyou looked at Yeomjin with clear eyes that were not disturbed at all.

Yeom Jin thought that those flawless eyes were like a deep lake with no visible bottom.

“Did you think you could quell the sorrow of losing In-ho with a mere hex?”

The voice changed, and Soyou looked into Yeom Jin’s eyes.

“You slut-like bitch.”

Grumbling

Yeom Jin’s arms began to be eaten by flames.

In a pitch-black flame.
