After finishing the fortune-telling breakfast, I opened my eyes and saw Jeongseon staring at me from next to me.

I was just sweating coldly as I looked at Jeongseon out of the corner of my eye.

Now that I think about it, this guy’s castle wall is definitely there.

He was a big, strong, and dependable man.

How many have I achieved?

“Why aren’t you looking here?”

“…I’m still in the middle of the day…”

“Really?”

Of course it’s a lie.

How can I say this comfortably during a fortune-telling breakfast?

And that was a fact that everyone in the martial arts world knew.

Even though Jeongseon noticed my lie, he didn’t say anything.

When I opened my eyes and glanced to the side, I saw Jeongseon looking through the gap between my small eyelids.

“Is the lucky breakfast over?”

“..uh…”

scary.

I felt like a deer in front of a tiger.

Although I was closer to a tiger in size and strength, sometimes there were problems that couldn’t be solved with strength.

The problem was now Jeongseon.

“I read this.”

In Jeongseon’s hand was the Taeyangsimbeop.

I had already memorized most of the passages, so there was no need for them, but Cheolwoong didn’t allow me to return them, saying that the more I did, the more I would be able to find hidden meanings every time I read them, so I kept them all the time.

It seemed like Jeongseon also read that secret.

Jeongseon wasn’t even interested in me.

“Did you learn that it was Geukyang’s inner gongsim method?”

“Yes.”

“Then you know why it is avoided, right?”

“Because it’s difficult to build up your skills?”

Jeongseon nodded at my words.

“There are only two ways to build up your inner strength. Either eat the yin energy or absorb the yang energy.”

“Ugh…”

A voice I didn’t recognize came out of my mouth.

Absorb yang energy?

Just that word was already unpleasant.

If you think about it, men usually have stronger yang energy, and women have stronger yin energy.

Jeongseon had a stronger yin energy.

It’s not that the yang energy was absent, but it was at a weak level compared to the yin energy.

“That’s why the people of the North Sea Ice Palace are able to achieve high levels of achievement even after learning the martial arts of extreme yin. Because we live in an extreme environment.”

Yes, in that way, Seolyeong also learned the martial arts of Geumyin, but he must have suffered from a disease called syllable veins.

Jeong Seon also had diverse knowledge as he was a martial artist who lived in this world of martial arts.

“So, I think I can help.”

“…What?”

“Wonki Josik, you were eating my vagina hard just now, right?”

“…”

Did you get caught?

Well, maybe it’s natural.

Just as I also learned martial arts and my level of mental strength increased, I was able to vaguely see other people’s skills.

Jeongseon also seemed to be able to see my strength to some extent, even if it wasn’t accurate.

Yeah, it definitely helped.

So much so that the level of the Taeyangshinbeop, which had been a bit stagnant, rose.

However, I felt uneasy because if I allowed this, it felt like I was crossing an irreversible river.

“If you don’t have my help, it will take a long time to gather strength, right?”

“…”

That too was correct.

As the level of the Sun Heart Method increased, it became more difficult to advance to the next level.

Without Jeong Seon’s help, he could not have achieved martial arts in time.

I accepted Jeongseon’s offer with an expression as if I had just eaten something spicy.

“…If you do something strange during breakfast, you may be cursed.”

“Huh? Do you know?”

“No, just in case.”

Jeongseon looked at me quizzically, asking why I was suddenly saying something so obvious.

Yes, it’s obvious, but I really wanted to warn you again.

I’m anxious.

***

The gathering place this time was not the small vacant lot in front of the dormitory.

The four of us gathered in the huge vacant lot where we first took the entrance exam.

And other officials were also in the vacant lot.

There were even some gwandos that I had never seen before.

Cheolwoong called us with a wave of his hand, and although we noticed that we were in front of many government officials, we had no choice but to stand next to him.

“A total of 5 players will participate in this friendly match.”

When I heard the story, it was said that 5 people competed one by one in order and the game was played in a winning streak system until all 5 were defeated.

If you’re lucky, the main character, Poongwoon, will take care of everything.

“And four of them are new officers next to me.”

As Cheolwoong pointed at us with his finger, many eyes focused on us.

I felt like I knew what stinging gaze meant.

Suddenly, a murmur of voices among the officials grew louder.

I could hear it here too, but the content was roughly the same.

“Even though Feng Wun, who is from Cheonmuhakkwan, and Sogungju of North Sea Ice Palace…what are those two people?”

“On the subject of junior Gwando…”

“Even that big guy said he learned martial arts for less than a month.”

“A month? Who are you really ignoring?”

It was mainly negative public opinion about me and Jeong-seon.

I’m sorry, but I haven’t even been able to learn martial arts for more than 10 days, not a month.

By the way, there were seniors here too.

I was mistaken because I could hardly see any of the senior officers in the dormitory or during the exam.

I was curious about that and asked Jeongseon quietly, and he kindly told me.

“Muhakkans like us who do not receive support have to raise funds through requests…”

As a result, it is said that most seniors who can play the role of one person go around receiving requests.

Then it would be unfair.

Words came out from officials who were not selected, questioning the election.

Among some gwandos, there were even those who were pouring out their dissatisfaction with instructor Cheolwoong, who unilaterally decided who would participate in the martial arts competition.

As the murmur gradually grew louder, I spoke quietly to instructor Cheolwoong.

“At this point, I am resigning…”

“Okay. Then, let’s compete and compete.”

My words were ignored.

And Cheolwoong made a suggestion to other officials.

“Bimmu?”

“Except for Windwoon, it’s worth winning.”

“Good!”

Naturally, the other officials accepted Cheolwoong’s words.

Everyone had the confident expression of a warrior.

Meanwhile, Cheolwoong came up to me and said.

“If you lose, you will be expelled.”

“…Yes…”

Cheolwoong sensed my intention and blocked the escape route.

The method of deciding on a dance partner was as follows.

It was a format where we had to nominate the opponent we wanted among the four of us and compete in a competition to win the right to compete.

I was worried that if I did that, Jeongseon and I would just be dancing all day, but that wasn’t the case.

“Then I will challenge that guy.”

As a man with an impressive long scar on his face slowly walked out among the gwandos, many of the gwandos who were trying to point out me became quiet.

Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like he was quite famous in the academy.

“Don’t you remember? It’s number 2.”

“If number 2…”

Jeongseon’s words brought back memories.

It seemed like he took the test with Poongwoon during the entrance exam.

Now that you say it like that, it feels like I’ve seen it.

Since I had no right to refuse, the meeting was naturally concluded, and it was just me and the man in the center of the wide open space.

” After defeating this Bimou, I will confess to Jeomsoi in the guesthouse.”

“…Yes?”

“If I beat you, I too will be recognized by Instructor Cheolwoong.”

“…”

For some reason, I didn’t feel like I was going to lose.

The level of the Inmuhakkwan was the lowest among the martial arts kwans.

Now that I’ve grown up, I can understand.

Except for Feng Yun, who was a disciple of the Hwasan Sect and a graduate of the Heavenly Martial Arts Academy, most of the Guan Dao here did not actually have much difference.

The same was true for the man in front of me.

I didn’t feel any of the pressure I felt when I was being taught by Poongun.

After raising the level of the Sun Heart Technique, my strength became quite stable.

Therefore, although the total amount of internal energy was small, I thought it would be possible to replicate the fast movement of internal energy around the legs that Jeongseon showed.

And actually, I was able to imitate Jeongseon’s fast running, albeit clumsily.

As soon as the signal to start was given, I quickly ran to the man using my speed skills and internal energy.

The man swung his sword horizontally at my speed, as if he was playing baseball, but I did not slow down.

Instead, he dug deeper and avoided the man’s sword.

If I had been scared and slowed down, I would have been hit by the sword swung as the man intended.

“What-!”

It was a skill that Jeongseon, who was small and dwarfed, could not perform.

A technique of body striking that takes advantage of my size and fast speed.

It was a body slam.

Modern techniques commonly used in wrestling and American football have appeared in martial arts.

I took full advantage of my speed and hit the other person’s solar plexus with my shoulder.

“Wow.”

The man fell down with a gasping sound and fainted.

For number 2, it was a meaningless defeat.

“…Um, what is that?”

“Is that also martial arts…?”

“This is my first time seeing you…”

Everyone seemed more shocked by the movement they were seeing for the first time than by the results.

Originally, I was going to run like Jeong-seon and strike him with my sword, but the other person reacted well, so I had no choice but to improvise.

I won, but Pungwoon’s expression was also strange.

“Well…what…no, good job.”

“Seonghan! My moves!”

Jeong-seon liked it, saying he copied his movements, and Cheol-woong was laughing.

It was a silent smile that only raised the corners of his mouth, but I thought that that was a big smile to that person.

“I, I don’t want to take on the challenge.”

“You’re using some strange martial arts…”

Due to this visa, no more applications have been received from me.

Instead, attention was focused on Jeongseon.

However, Jeongseon has also grown a lot over the past few days.

Jeongseon, who was assigned number 7 due to the overwhelming amount of Naegong, taught Seolyeong, who was unable to use Naegong due to the nine syllable veins, and was able to focus more on the martial arts itself rather than Naegong.

Even though he was very angry with Seol-yeong on the first day, it was the result of teaching Seol-yeong with only the determination to receive praise from instructor Cheol-woong.

It was truly like teaching and learning at the same time, as Cheolwoong intended.

“Jeong Seon Seung.”

Jeong Seon was able to defeat the woman with the number 3 name tag.

As Jeongseon and I showed good behavior, the government officials no longer asked us to serve as secretaries.

Instead, they fought among themselves for a spot in the fifth friendly match.
