“Ugh~”

The black cat was rubbing its cheek against Hyukkirin’s face. Normally, Hyukgirin would be shy and push the black cat away, but today, he was obediently letting himself go.

“Don’t be too disappointed. I will come visit whenever I can.”

“I hope the housework gets done as quickly as possible.”

“Hehe. I will try my best too.”

Hyeok Kirin held the black cat tightly with a gentle expression. The black cat also hugged Hyeok Kirin tightly with a face dripping with regret. On the surface, it seemed like the scene where Hyeok Kirin was playing a prank on the black cat, but in reality, it was quite the opposite.

“I hope your homework goes well. Daehyup.”

“Thank you. You have worked hard to prepare, and I hope you get good results.”

Hyeok Kirin’s journey…well, it won’t be easy. Pushing out the authorities is easier said than done. I’ll have to push it away someday, but I don’t know when that day will be.

I have no choice but to support you.

At the entrance of the guesthouse, there was an imperial carriage to take Hyeok Kirin away. It will be rumored to the outside world that the carriage will take the carriage to the closed building of the Imperial Vision and that it will be closed until the achievement is achieved.

Well, actually, she will go back to being Princess Yuya.

Luoyang was excited because Princess Yuya, who had disappeared for a long time, would appear at an official event.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop! Don’t forget your ‘promise’!”

“Hehe, of course. How could you forget?”

After patting the black cat’s hand one last time, Hyuk Kirin got into the carriage. Before closing the carriage door, Hyuk Kirin smiled lightly.

“Then, I hope you both take care until our next meeting.”

The black cat waved its hand vigorously, and I waved my hand. Hyukkirin closed the door and the imperial carriage departed.

“Ha…”

The black cat let out a long sigh, appeasing his regret.

“Senior, please come to work quickly.”

“Hmm. Yes.”

Heukmyo decided to refocus on martial arts training for a while. Through the Luoyang tour, Black Cat realized that the higher his martial arts level, the more free he could become.

It seems like my motivation has definitely improved.

“At least you have to improve your martial arts skills to be able to catch it. Still, since this matter is under the eyes and ears of Hyuk Sohyeop, I will use this opportunity to work hard…”

“Huh? What?”

“Hmph, you don’t need to know about the idiot senior. Anyway, I’m going to go practice martial arts, so you can go to work quickly.”

I don’t know why, but the black cat, who had rented Yongsang Gaekjan’s underground training hall for a month, pouted and headed underground.

“Crap.”

I also took a look at the black cat disappearing underground and then moved on.

Because today was the day I had to become a training instructor for the Geumuiwi.

*** ***

The training center was noisy from dawn. As I entered the training instructor building in front of the soldiers’ living quarters and unpacked my luggage, the training instructors appeared one by one.

The total number of training instructors is twelve. One of them, a training instructor who appeared to be a veteran, called all the training instructors together.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. This is Do Je-sik, a senior training instructor. You are people who are active in various places. And there is one person who came from outside.”

The instructors’ eyes focused on me for a moment and then fell.

“You can freely pass on the experiences you have accumulated in various places to trainees. Because the results will tell everything. Of course, you can always ask me if you don’t know anything.”

A training instructor asked a question.

“How do you plan to educate the senior training instructor?”

“I will follow the training manual compiled this year. It is okay to take the parts of my actions that should be taken and discard the parts that should be thrown away.”

In the end, the apprenticeship was an instructor for instructors.

“How much discretion can the instructor exercise?”

“Trainees’ meals and minimum rest and sleep times must be respected. Please note that training does not take place on Sundays. Other than that, I don’t care at all what kind of training goes on.”

This thought occurred to me as I was attending the apprenticeship ceremony and listening to the instructors’ questions and answers.

In the end, the big picture is to follow this apprentice-style instructor. Other instructors are probably thinking similarly. From now on, they will change it little by little according to their own experiences and thoughts.

I wish I could just bury it like that.

“It’s almost time for training, so let’s go to the parade ground.”

After the Q&A session, it was finally time to officially meet the unit members.

As I entered the parade ground, I saw fourteen people, including Jo Ga-ju, standing there. Twelve units each occupying a corner of the parade ground.

“Hmm. Nice to meet you. My name is Ho Cheon-an. Well, you probably already know, but I’m your instructor.”

“Nice to meet you, instructor.”

When I saw Jo Ga-ju, I remembered my classmate’s report.

Jo Ga-ju. Starting as a low-level soldier, he was promoted step by step with his unique sincerity. Then, he was picked on by a corrupt boss who was an inspector, and his path to success was blocked. Then, his boss’s corruption was discovered and he was fired. After that, he took on a new boss and made great strides again. After receiving a letter of recommendation from the Gold Medical Commission, he moved to Luoyang.

Currently the main weapon is a sword.

“I’m also happy to meet you. I’ve been introduced to trainees once before. If you have any questions about me before training, feel free to tell me.”

“I have a question!”

There was one guy who raised his hand as if he had been waiting.

Re-injury.

A direct descendant of the Nakyangjae family who has been holding central government positions for the 8th generation. An all-rounder who excels at not only poetry, calligraphy, and painting, but also martial arts. He was famous for his arrogant personality from a young age. Since he was classified as a genius, he quickly learned his teacher’s tricks and repeatedly chased them away.

He could be said to be a genius type of idiot who couldn’t take control even at home.

“I heard that you are an external advisor to the Financial Services Commission. So what did you do outside?”

“I did the work of a nobleman.”

“Are you talking about Ronin’s work? indeed! You must have a lot of practical experience!”

The intention of the guy who spoke in a fuss was clearly visible.

“Can I ask for personal guidance prior to training?”

I didn’t respond to what he said, but looked at the other trainees’ eyes. There were some people who were shocked when their eyes met, but mainly a rebellious and disdainful look was revealed in their eyes.

“After.”

I closed my eyes and sighed.

We have fully prepared the means to educate trainees during the break. All I had to do was just execute it like this, but… to be honest, it wasn’t something I really wanted to do.

“Do you all think the same?”

So I decided to finally check it out. If this is Jaesanghae’s dogma and they have the will to follow me properly, I will play an ordinary incompetent character and they will receive ordinary training and then fall into ordinary.

Otherwise, we had no choice but to use the countermeasures we had prepared.

The trainees’ faces were agitated.

It seemed like the trainees didn’t understand my intentions clearly, so I opened my mouth again with a kindness that might be my last.

“From now on, the trainees are one community. Did the injured cadets all agree to the instructor’s actions to check their skills? If so, this instructor will give you the answer.”

Only then did a light of acceptance appear in the eyes of the trainees. They understood my intention to treat each member as a group called a unit rather than as an individual.

“Haha, what are you hesitating about?”

The trainees who had gathered their opinions at Jaesanghae’s words nodded. In the end, they ended up making this choice.

“Then please wait for a while. This instructor will change his clothes and come back.”

Return?

I left the confused-looking trainees behind and headed to my instructor’s office. In the instructor’s office, there was a bag that I brought with me today.

“This is the path you chose.”

I muttered as I unpacked my bag.

*** ***

Zhao Jiazhu sighed inwardly.

‘You’re in big trouble.’

Is there anyone who doesn’t know what intention Jae Sang-hae had for applying for sparring? As soon as Jae Sang-hae saw his face, he questioned Ho Cheon-an’s instructor qualifications, and considering the difference between the positions of a training instructor and a trainee, it was like starting a fight.

Jo Ga-ju was already worried about what would happen when Ho Cheon-an, who left to return home with a stern face, returned.

“Hey…are you a training instructor?”

At Kangchumoru’s words, all the trainees’ eyes turned towards him, and Jo Ga-ju also turned his gaze towards him. and…

I opened my mouth wide.

“What does that strange appearance mean?”

A blood-red top without a front cap caught the eye. Beneath it were pants speckled with green and black.

Is it just that?

Jeez. Jeez.

The black, heavy-looking boots made a heavy sound. Ho Cheon-an, who noticed the vague gaze of the trainees, put the hat he was holding on his head.

It was a strange hat that the trainees, including Jo Ga-ju, had never seen before. Not only was it woven to fit the size of the head, but I couldn’t figure out why the top of the hat had an octagonal shape, and the brim of the hat was very short.

Stand tall.

As Jo Ga-ju looked at Ho Cheon-an stopping in front of the trainees, a word came to mind.

‘Fucked!’

The trainees swallowed their saliva repeatedly. This was because I was instantly overwhelmed by Hocheonan’s strange appearance, as if I was looking at a blood-soaked ghost. The short brim on the red octagonal hat cast shadow only on Ho Cheon-an’s eyes, and on the contrary, the glowing glow of Ho Cheon-an’s eyes was several times more intense.

“This training instructor was disappointed with the trainees.”

Jae Sang-hae smiled and stepped forward. Although he felt an unusual energy from Ho Cheon-an, who appeared after returning to his honor, his rebellious temperament and pride did not allow him to bow down to Ho Cheon-an.

“Haha, instructor, what is that strange outfit? And the mixing…”

However, Ho Cheon-an did not deal with Jae-sang.

“Jogaju!”

“Chung!”

“What are the basics of a soldier?”

“This is your order!”

“That’s why! This company commander, no, the instructor! I am disappointed in the cadets!”

Ten cadets who were civilians were unable to come to their senses, but four former soldiers, including Jo Ga-ju, were aware of what was going on.

“Personal guidance? Do you want to check this instructor’s skills? Things that are out of their minds! I will start by driving the military spirit into the heads of you people who have not even learned the basics of being a soldier!”

Ho Cheon-an turned his back and said.

“First, we will unify slogans, which are the basics of soldiers. From now on, the answer will be unity through evil! Do you understand?!”

“Evil!”

The only ones who responded were the four people who ate jjambap in the military. The rest of the people were unable to come to their senses due to the rapidly changing situation…

Ho Cheon-an said coldly.

“Get down.”

In an instant, four people fell down and took a stretched out stance, and Ho Cheon-an turned around one by one to the trainees who were in a hesitant posture. The trainees who received attention began to take postures one by one, and finally, Jae Sang-hae and Ho Cheon-an’s eyes met.

Jae Sang-hae understood why his classmates bowed down the moment he made eye contact with Ho Cheon-an.

‘This isn’t right.’

Madness! darkness!

In the eyes of Ho Cheon-an, shining in the shadow of the hat, I could feel only one huge intention to destroy the trainee!

rebellion? protest?

Just thinking about what would happen if I did something like that gave me goosebumps.

Jae Sang-hae quickly fell down, feeling his rebellious spirit toward Ho Cheon-an fading away like dust.

“Weather.”

Rumble!

“Sleep backwards.”

Whoosh!

“Weather.”

Dududududu!

Ho Cheon-an turned his back and looked at the fourteen trainees. Every time Ho Cheon-an’s sharp eyes met his gaze, the trainees swallowed their saliva.

“From now on, trainees will unify their answers as evil during the training period. Do you understand? It’s ‘Ack!’ Do you understand?”

“Evil!”

“Evil!”

“Good. Trainees are both a group and an individual during the training period. The trainee’s fault is the unit’s fault. The unit’s fault is every trainee’s fault. Do you understand?”

“Evil!”

“Chung!”

“Chung? Chuung? Get down!”

“Ahh!”

Jo Gap-deok closed his eyes tightly and fell down. The habits I had as an imperial soldier still remained, so my anger came out reflexively.

His classmates swallowed their dry saliva and expressed regret as they looked at Jo Gap-deok lying face down. If I had known he was such a crazy person, I wouldn’t have agreed with Jaesanghae’s opinion!

“What do trainees do?”

The trainees just roll their eyes at Ho Cheon-an’s bloody voice.

“What did I just say? Did you say that the trainee’s fault is the unit’s fault and the unit’s fault is all the trainees’ fault? Didn’t you?”

“Evil!”

Jo Ga-joo immediately fell down. Only then did the trainees realize the situation and collapsed.

One word that came to everyone’s mind.

Joint responsibility!

“Trainees! Members of the same unit are classmates and comrades, understand?”

“Evil!”

“A true soldier never abandons his comrades! I won’t leave you alone to be punished! Do you understand?”

“Ahh!”

“If you don’t know, until you know. Will this instructor kindly teach you until it is engraved in your body? Do you understand?”

“Aaagh!”

The ghost of the K Army descended on the Geumuiwi Training Center.
