***

3 generations of right faction martial arts.

Three traditional martial arts that promote stability in the world and support political factions.

It continues its history solely through one-person tradition, and has the characteristic of not belonging to any family.

Therefore, it is said that in order to become a master of the three great martial arts, one must abandon one’s original identity.

The martial arts skills passed down are as follows.

Bingryun-gong.

A martial art that raises negative energy to the limit, imbues the weapon with cold energy, and then subdues the opponent.

Noe Ryun-gong.

A martial art that memorizes and throws with lightning energy, or dominates space to subdue the opponent.

Yeomryun-gong.

It is a martial art that raises the energy of flame with internal energy and then subdues the opponent with fists and angles.

It is the most wonderful and outstanding martial art among the three great traditional martial arts… This is how my teacher, Namgung Soyu, would explain it.

To begin with, I became Namgung Soyu’s disciple.

The proceedings proceeded quickly, with no time for Master to protest against the Master’s absurd proposal.

The ambassador gave me a look, and I quickly bowed on the spot, concluding my priestly relationship.

A ritual for a priest to tie a kite, held as if roasting beans over lightning.

In layman terms, you could call it a snatch.

In any case, Namgung Soyu, who had taken in a disciple who was not even a member of his family, sulked for a week and did not speak properly.

Not only to me, but also to the Ambassador.

Two weeks have already passed since I joined Yan Lun-gong’s group.

They do not have a fixed residence, and make a living by traveling around the country and solving difficult problems in the region.

So there were more cases of sleeping outdoors than sleeping in fancy inns.

When there was no work to do, the great master called the teacher and taught him about Yan Lun Gong.

Following the teacher’s words that I am not yet at the stage of learning Yeomryun Gong, I am investing time in building basic physical strength and internal skills.

I had some doubts about whether this was the right curriculum, but seeing as the master who was watching the training next to me didn’t say anything, I decided to believe it.

So, I wake up in the morning and have a fortune-telling breakfast next to my teacher.

I’m still a beginner, so I can’t eat lunch and dinner.

…….

I think my head went crazy because I was bored.

Anyway, to talk about my current achievements, I am just in my infancy stage, so it is not easy to gain fortune according to the internal energy method.

So, the teacher stays by my side and helps me with my fortune-telling.

After the lucky breakfast, have a light breakfast.

The master made breakfast, and it contained a deep meaning that he should put more effort into his training while making breakfast.

Washing the dishes after breakfast is my responsibility.

Originally, I was in charge of the teacher, but I volunteered because I felt like it was right for me, as the lowest-ranking member, to do it.

Of course, there was also the Master’s sidelong glance and unspoken pressure.

When I am washing the dishes, the master calls the teacher to check on my accomplishments and does a simple massage.

I look over my shoulder at them, and after I finish washing the dishes, I do my own physical training as instructed by the teacher.

Things like jumping or lifting heavy objects.

If you spend time like this, you will move to another place.

We move around afternoon and start camping around sunset.

Still, this time we found an abandoned thatched hut and stayed there, and the ambassador had announced that he would stay there for three days.

And today is the second day of staying in that thatched house.

“Did you sweep the yard?”

As I finished my physical training and was thinking about random things, I heard my teacher’s voice behind me.

“I was just about to do it.”

In fact, I didn’t even lift a broom, but I bought time by saying something I didn’t like.

“Hmm….”

My teacher seemed to be displeased with something, so he crossed his arms and looked at me awkwardly.

” was done. Today, I will teach you the most basic utterance of Yan Lun-gong… No, I will teach you.”

Shaking his head, Master changed his words.

After becoming a priest, what changed significantly was the way I spoke.

Even the great master, who always spoke politely to me, spoke informally to me, who had become Yeomryun-gong’s disciple.

She then told me that I should show courtesy to my teacher with polite words, regardless of his age.

He also emphasized to Soyou that since a teacher’s authority comes from his actions, he must use solemn words.

I kept using honorifics to my teacher anyway, so it wasn’t awkward and it wasn’t difficult.

However, the teacher seemed a little lost.

So, whenever he talks in his normal tone like this, his face turns bright red and he glares at me.

…But why am I so angry, Master? It’s not even my fault.

“Now, come here.”

I stood where she pointed with her finger.

“What do you think utterance is?”

I suddenly asked a question. It seemed like he was imitating the master’s teaching method.

It was a little funny because it felt like I was seeing a teacher teaching a class for the first time.

“To make a fire.”

That look was kind of cute, so I decided to attend class a little more enthusiastically.

“Yeah, right. Now take a good look at my hands.”

When I showed interest, Master smiled and raised his index finger.

– Growling

Even without doing anything, a clear flame appeared from my fingers.

“Oh…?”

“Heh, hehe! Well, did you see it? This is the foundation of Yeomryun Gong. It is an utterance.”

“So, making a flame from your hand is an ignition?”

“To be exact, it creates flames from the entire body. However, if you want to use these flames later, it is most efficient to create them from your hands and feet.”

“Isn’t it hot?”

“What you make with your own bet cannot affect you.”

It was a tone that reminded me of my teacher (Cheonma) from quite a while ago.

“Well, then the principle is the same for Bingryunkong and Noeryungong.”

“Oh… You’re quite clear-headed, aren’t you?”

I felt a little bad because it was a genuinely surprised reaction.

“If the principle is the same, I think Bingryun or Noeryun looks a little cooler.”

“Go! How can you say something like that when you become Yan Lun-gong’s disciple!!”

“Evil!!”

Master’s fist plunged into the top of my head, and my neck went in and out like a turtleneck.

“It hurts!”

“He hit me until it hurt. Don’t belittle Yan Lun-gong, even as a joke.”

“Pride… No, you have great pride.”

He says while stroking his numb head. Isn’t this flying?

“Of course. You don’t know how great an honor it is to be the successor to a martial art that supports a political faction.”

“But what is the standard for becoming a master of martial arts? Well, are you saying that you are particularly strong in martial arts among other kids your age?”

If you think about it that way, there would be no reason for me to be chosen.

“Hmm… I don’t think that’s the case. Right now, I wasn’t that good either.”

After thinking for a while, Master opened his mouth with difficulty.

It was a little strange to see him easily admit his own shortcomings.

The teacher I knew was a person with great self-esteem.

“The teacher said that I have the aptitude for it. I don’t know either.”

“Then I guess I also have the aptitude.”

“Well… I don’t want to criticize Master’s choice, but… I am young…”

“If I speak kindly to my one and only disciple, what will be of benefit?”

Why are you so obnoxious?

“Because it’s not like that. Now, don’t talk nonsense, try making a speech yourself.”

“Is there any theoretical explanation? Just show me making a fire and that’s it?”

When I asked in bewilderment at this unprecedented teaching method, the teacher shrugged his shoulders.

It’s like showing everything you have to show.

“No, what the hell…”

He grumbles and straightens his fingers.

“Inho….”

Master, seeing me, tilted his head and asked.

“…Can I ask why you raised your middle finger?”

“Ah, in my neighborhood, this is a hand gesture that symbolizes a mountain, and I thought it would be easier to draw bets if I did this.”

“Don’t talk nonsense and open your index finger.”

“Yes.”

Hey, that doesn’t work.
