“Then I guess I’ll just go.”

“Huh, if you’re not here, who can I do the early morning piti exercise and canter with?”

“Haha, you can figure that out yourself.”

Jo Ga-ju shook hands with each of her disappointed classmates. His colleagues, who knew that Jo Ga-ju’s decision had already been made, smiled and saw him off.

“Okay then.”

A woven spear swayed on the shoulder of Jo Ga-ju, who was wearing plain clothes. The trainees stared at the back of Jo Ga-ju as she left the training center with a brisk walk.

“I really thought we would all meet again as members of the Geumui Committee…but I can’t figure out what happens to people.”

“That’s right.”

The atmosphere in the dormitory was extremely chaotic. It was because of Jo Ga-ju, who suddenly left just because she had found her own path.

“Eight! I’m going to go out!”

Gwang Jae-ryeon suddenly stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m thinking of coming to say hello to my brother who made Jo Gaju’s spear!”

“You mean Geumcheol Workshop? Umm…”

Jaesanghae stood up.

“Let’s go together. It won’t be long since I have to return the tuition fee, so I’ll have to get a new one, but I’ve been losing my mind!”

“Hmm…I see.”

The trainees shook their heads. The Tugyobi used by the Twelve Units is a training item, so in order to train or utilize the Bidojutsu in the future, one had to adjust the personal Bido.

“Uh-huh! I guess not everyone is going to flock to the Geumcheol Workshop, right? That way, it will only prolong the time it takes to receive the goods, so order them spread out.”

“I guess so. It will take a few days, so I need to hurry.”

The trainees got up from their seats and started getting ready to go out. Purchasing Bido was the perfect thing to soothe Jo Ga-ju’s sad feelings about leaving.

“Somehow, the tuition fee lacked a heavy taste.”

“Uh-huh, the lightness of this person’s prayer is his life.”

“If it is too light, it will be sensitive and difficult to control!”

Those who had only picked up the Tugyobi monument and the only way to see it were arguing about it. Trainees are already seeing their own custom-made bidos flashing before their eyes.

In an instant, the trainees dispersed in search of a blacksmith shop and arrived at the Gwangjae-ryeon and Jaesang-do Geumcheol Workshop.

“Then I will have a chat with Master Bido! You should have a leisurely conversation with that guy.”

Jaesanghae disappeared like that, and Gwang Jae-ryeon went to visit Mak Yool, a craftsman who once worked at the Gwangcheol workshop.

“Isn’t it Jaeryeon!”

“Brother, it’s been a while!”

“Yes! I’ve received good letters before! There’s nothing wrong with the window I created, right?”

“Hahahaha! Your skills are still the same!”

Gwangjae-ryeon and Mak-yul patted each other on the shoulders and laughed.

“So, what brought you here today?”

“I just came here to say hello to my brother. I’m going to pick up a few useful raincoats along the way.”

“Rain? Come to think of it, I heard you were taking the Geumui Commission exam. Come and sit here.”

Mak-yul took out a bottle of alcohol from somewhere.

“True, brother! Have you still not gotten over your habit of secretly drinking alcohol at the blacksmith shop?”

“You son of a bitch! It’s been a long time since I met you, so this is a special drink I brought out! This alcohol is distilled using the heat of a furnace, so it’s amazing! To pay for the drinks and as a snack, tell me about that famous Geumuiwi exam!”

“Hahahaha! Big breasts that will make you faint!”

Gwangjae-ryeon and Mak-yul offered drinks and accepted them.

“The training instructor showed up wearing a red-colored top and an octagonal hat, but I couldn’t believe my eyes. Plus, the stained pants that make you hesitate to pick them up…”

Gwang Jae-ryeon’s speaking skills were at a level that could not be considered generous. But what is the topic we are talking about? It was a story about a training camp.

A military story that increases the amount of talk on the floor tenfold!

Gwang Jae-ryeon spat and explained the military theory.

Pitu gymnastics, mountain canter, PR training!

The mysterious woman from Yongsang Gaekjan that Jo Gaju, Corn, and Kangchumoru visited!

Mock battle victory!

And the training that follows.

Princess Yuya visited the selection test and examination center. And the story of passing the selection test, visiting Princess Yuya at the dormitory, and receiving a gift.

“Kiyaaa! Great! Yes, I guess I passed in the end!”

“Oh my brother, there is still time left for the Gold Medical Commission training!”

“Yekki! I also have pierced ears, so I can hear things! They say that if you go into the Gold Law Commission training, everyone unless you’re a crazy person will become a Golden State Councilor. What kind of humility is that? To receive a gift from a princess, you really have achieved success!”

And finally, to Jo Ga-ju, who left this morning.

“Huh, you mean he kicked his seat on the Gold Medal?”

“…That’s right. He said that was the path he had to follow, and he really had no regrets, just everything! Everything! Don’t you just shake it off and leave!”

Gwang Jae-ryeon poured alcohol into Mokgumong. Mak-yul, who was looking at Gwang Jae-ryeon closely, opened his mouth.

“You have to match the ratio?”

“Keuuu…that’s right. Brother Geo is not very good at making small things, so please introduce me to a good craftsman.”

“Why do you need a craftsman?”

Gwangjae-ryeon looked at Mak-yul. Mak-yul raised his hand and nudged Gwangjae-ryeon.

“The guy who held the position of Chief Commander of Hebei should make his own weapons.”

“….Brother.”

“It’s late today and I drank too much, so skip it! You can use my workshop starting tomorrow, so make it here.”

Gwang Jae-ryeon said nothing. Mak-yul poured what little alcohol was left down his throat and stood up.

“You probably haven’t forgotten that the blacksmith’s dawn is early, right? Come running as soon as the sun rises tomorrow!”

Gwang Jae-ryeon stared at Mak-yul’s back as he walked away, unable to do either this or that.

widely.

I closed the book of settings I had memorized and glared at the door. It’s been a while since I felt someone loitering in front of my door.

I understand your hesitation. Because it is not easy to turn away from the glory of being a member of the Gold Medal right in front of you.

Still, loitering in front of the door for half an hour was a bit over the line.

I screamed.

“Highly recommend Anvil!”

“Evil!”

“Incoming!”

“Evil!”

Kangchumoru came in quickly and took a deep rest.

“Do you have something to say? Kangchumoru trainee.”

“Evil!”

I held back a sigh and looked at Gangchumoru. I fully expected that Kangchumoru would come looking for me. No, I was completely sure.

“I want to give up my training for the Gold Medical Council!”

“What is the reason? Kangchumoru trainee.”

“Because I want to command the soldiers!”

Five people including Jo Ga-ju. In addition, the remaining members of the Twelfth Division have strengths in each field.

I believe that they will find their own way and soar later.

But timing was the problem. Is there any reason why the trainees of the Twelfth Division must quit right now?

Let’s think about it from the perspective of a current Twelfth Division trainee.

Even if you have a goal in mind that you want to achieve, there is no need to hit it right away.

It was a question I could worry about after receiving all the training for the Gold Medical Commission and becoming a Gold Medical Commission member to expand my options. If you are not going to join the military, it would be beneficial to get the badge of being a member of the Geumuiwi.

However, Kangchumoru had to give up at this point in order to achieve his dream.

“I had a few opportunities to command soldiers on the front line, but it was only here that I got to experience real combat and tactics! The feeling of using my strategy and winning during a mock battle will never leave my mind! Oh, of course, it’s not because I did well, but because my classmates believed in me and followed me!”

The Gold Council is, after all, a small group of elites. That is why only fifteen people were organized into one unit even though there were sufficient numbers of people. This means that, at most, there are between ten and twenty people in one Gold Guard unit.

Hundreds at best. Compared to the Imperial Army, which is organized in units of up to several thousand units, it can be said to be a small number.

“From mock battle to position battle! My classmates listened to my strategies and tactics and made time to train me in Byeongjin! I enjoyed the process too! And the feeling of winning in a position battle based on such parallel advancement…I can’t express it in words!”

“Is that so.”

“Yes! Even when I close my eyes, the scene and various tactical strategies remain in my mind! In the meantime, this thought occurred to me. Commanding only a few people at most is so thrilling and enjoyable… What would it be like to command dozens or hundreds of people and deploy strategic tactics?”

Of course, Kangchumoru did not give up his position on the Geumui Committee because it was an elite minority.

The real reason is different. And that is the basis for predicting that Kangchumoru will attack Geumwiwi.

“When I imagined that, I wanted to become a commander of the imperial army, train soldiers, and deploy strategic tactics. If possible…I want to become a general who commands tens of thousands of people!”

Once a person becomes a member of the Imperial Guard, he or she cannot be reinstated as an imperial soldier. This is specified in military law.

Measures to maintain discipline in the Geumui Committee.

Because the Twelve Units are made up of unique people, more than 80% of the students recommended by the Geumuiui Committee are comprised of former members of the Imperial Army. But what if a person who became a member of the Jinui can freely return to the imperial army?

You can apply for the Gold Medical Commission once, give it a try, and if you decide it doesn’t work, you can come back, so why not apply?

My connections and career remain intact in the local area, so why do I cling to the life of the Geumwiwi? Just check it out and if you don’t think so, just come back.

There will be a large number of applicants who think like this, so how can we maintain discipline with such people?

Once you receive Geumui Commission training and officially become a Geumui Commission, your path to becoming a commander is blocked. If Kangchumoru wants to become a commander, he has no choice but to quit at this point.

“The headquarters was also aware that the Kangchumoru trainee was interested in command.”

“Evil!”

“But I’m a little worried about the main building. Didn’t you spend half a day lingering in front of the main building’s living quarters? I wonder if Cadet Kangchumoru would have been able to muster the courage if the instructor had not called him.”

“No!”

Kangchumoru screamed without realizing it.

“The desire to become a commander and a general is real! That’s not why I hesitated!”

“What is it? Then.”

Gangchumoru swallowed dry saliva again and again as he looked at Ho Cheon-an staring at him. Is it really okay to say this? A person must have shame… In a situation where he is causing trouble to Ho Cheon-an by quitting the Geumui Committee…

Seeing Hu Tianan’s head tilt slightly, Kang Chumoru felt goosebumps rising on his back.

If things continue like this, it will be four months!

“I want to use it!”

“….What do you mean? Kangchumoru trainee.”

“Instructor, the teaching method used by the instructor when teaching the twelfth division! I would like to ask if I can use it!”

Ho Cheon-an kept his mouth shut. Gangchumoru closed his eyes tightly and poured out his thoughts.

“The reason I hesitated at Ban Si-jin or outside was not because I didn’t want to quit the Geumui Commission! Can I borrow the training method of the instructor who trained me and my fellow classmates from the 12th Division into new strong soldiers? When I become commander, can I use it as a way to develop a strong army? Because I wanted to ask!”

Kangchumoru’s voice gradually became quieter.

“I wanted to get permission to use the training provided by the instructor, but it was too…shameful to ask the instructor to use the training method in a situation where I was leaving after causing a lot of inconvenience to the instructor. ◦

Ho Cheon-an was silent for a moment.

“….Kangchumoru trainee. I’ll ask again. Are you saying you want to use PIT training, PR training, mountain cantering, military songs, instructor uniforms, etc.?”

“Evil!”

“Hmm….”

Gangchumoru swallowed his saliva and spoke impassionedly at Ho Cheon-an’s embarrassed reaction. Given Ho Cheon-an’s personality, if he didn’t like it, he would have just said no. He really didn’t seem to think that Kangchumoru would make such a request.

Gangchumoru’s sense as a commander flashed.

“Instructor! Instructor’s training method is truly the future of the Imperial Army! This is a training method that can achieve this level of results in just one month! This training method can help you train tens of thousands of powerful soldiers!”

“…Whew. Is this fate too?”

For a moment, Ho Cheon-an imagined Baek Geum-gun doing the 8th Pitu exercise and shook his head. A passionate slogan shouted by one person out of a million, twenty slogans….ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety slogans…!

“Gangchumoru trainee. It is too harsh training for those who do not know martial arts.”

“I will improve on that and use it! Instructor, please…!”

Ho Cheon-an looked at Kangchumoru speaking earnestly…and eventually took out the bag he had kept under his seat.

Take “. Kangchumoru trainee.”

“….What is this?”

“These are the octagonal hat and clothes used by this instructor.”

Kangchumoru’s eyes trembled.

“Instructor…!”

“I thought about telling them some tips or tricks, but… everything the instructor already knew was taught to the trainees. If you are a Kangchumoru trainee, you will be able to do well.”

“Instructor!!”

“I will support you. Kangchumoru trainee.”

Gangchumoru made a promise as he received the bag from Ho Cheon-an.

‘With this training method taught to me by the instructor, I will train a unit stronger than any other unit in the world!!’

Later.

This was the moment when the myth of the Kangchumoru unit, which would be called the [Jeokgwidae] and reign as a symbol of fear to foreigners, began.
