“Wooo!!”

“Aaaah!!”

-Boom boom!

Every time Hongryeon and Chaejin’s energy collide, the sound of rocks crashing against each other can be heard.

The shock wave created by a single collision spreads to the surrounding area, causing cracks and destruction here and there in the sparring area.

If Namgung-cheon wasn’t next to me, I would have been caught up in the aftermath.

Knowing that, the two were swinging the dragon sword and dragon sword without hesitation.

No, but… can’t we be a little gentler?

My heart flutters when I see this.

Namgung-cheon, who was watching me panic, chuckled.

“He speaks harshly, but he doesn’t fight to the death.”

“…Really?”

“That’s right. I’m fighting while controlling it to some extent.”

You’re fighting while controlling your strength by hitting it like that.

Is this a superhuman…

“Haaaa!!”

Hongryeon’s fist aimed at Chaejin’s chest. Chae-jin, who was watching the red energy contained in the fist thrown out, caught it as it was and lightly flicked his hand up.

It’s a movement I know.

Cai is Tai Chi.

The movement of accepting the flow as it is and letting it flow naturally blocked Hongryeon’s blow, and as a result, Hongryeon, whose posture was disturbed, showed a gap.

-thud!!

To her, Chaejin moved like a river, hooking her legs and pushing her back. The disheveled posture becomes even more disturbed, and the red lotus floats into the air.

“Hap!!”

However, Hongryeon was not something that was just tolerated. As if she decided that she couldn’t stop it from floating in the air, she added her strength and leapt into the air and swung the Dragon Phantom Sword.

Hongseong Shingong Daegeomsik.

Fall.

As the powerful sword strike came down, Chaejin stepped back and swung the Yonghwando.

The Secret of Moonlight Taoism.

Seomwol.

Did you learn it the last time you went to Munwoljeong Pavilion? It was definitely something I couldn’t use as far as I knew.

The energy contained in the dragon sword shined brightly, creating a film of light, and the moment it collided with the dragon sword, Chae Jin quickly stretched out his long legs.

-Baaa!!

“Ugh.”

Hongryeon, who was hit once, flinched back. Chaejin smiled leisurely at her.

“Ugh.”

Red blood was mixed with the spit that was spit out. Hongryeon slowly inhaled and exhaled, and Chaejin, who turned towards her, calmly continued speaking.

“What is it? Come on? Is this the Hongryeon I know?”

Yudeulyudeul, Chaejin who is relaxed and Hongryeon who is indifferent. The battle between the two continued, and when the time was right, Namgungcheon spoke.

“Stop.”

It was when the Yonghwan Sword was aiming for Chaejin’s side and the Yonghyeongdo was aiming for Hongryeon’s chest.

They stopped moving as soon as Nangong Cheon finished speaking.

“First of all, it can be said to be Chaejin’s victory. You know why, right?”

“Hmm. Yes.”

Hongryeon slightly nodded. Nam Gung-cheon continued to point out the problem to her who didn’t have a good expression.

“I’m impatient. He’s making movements that I’m not used to yet, but he’s trying to move too fast. What’s so urgent?”

“…Ha. Because I have to deal with my teacher. I, too, am not yet mentally disciplined.”

“What you lack is experience as a superhuman. If you just fill it up, you can become even stronger.”

“Yes.”

Unlike Hongryeon, who nodded slightly and looked sullen, Chaejin’s face was full of smiles.

“Hehe, hehe. June. I won! I…!!”

“Don’t like that. You move too lightly. Always keep the apprentice’s movements in mind.”

“Let me enjoy the joy of victory…”

“Really? Then be happy.”

Namgung-cheon waited and Chae-jin jumped up and came in front of me, holding my hand and shaking it.

It looks really good.

“You all liked it, right?”

“Yes. But aren’t your father’s movements light? It was pretty fast.”

“Fast and light are different issues. The Tao of the Dog is fast, but it is very heavy. I heard that Moonwoljeong’s martial arts values ‘moderation’. Your movements are a bit far from the mean.”

Chaejin pondered his words as if thinking about something and then nodded.

“As a spectator, don’t you have anything to say?”

I told them again.

“I hope you don’t get hurt when you fight.”

“Hahaha… Yes.”

“I understand.”

Hongryeon and Chaejin have faced each other several times since then, and their movements are getting better every time Namgungcheon, who was watching from the side, points it out.

But Chaejin was still ahead.

The leisure created by her easy-going personality was helping her grow.

Before becoming a superhuman, Hongryeon was ahead, but after becoming a superhuman and starting to acquire skills, Chaejin was ahead.

“It’s a bit hard to say this, but it’s amazing. This is the first time I see a drone growing ”

“Is that so?”

“Hmm. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can beat me. They are both still kids.”

“Haha. That’s right. Anyway, thank you for your hard work today.”

Sharing power is usually not an easy task.

Moreover, isn’t Namgung Cheon a member of the Namgung family?

No matter how much Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jeong are in the same political faction, what he points out is no different from teaching martial arts, but he conveys it so simply.

This was Namgungcheon’s consideration and favor.

So I thanked him and Nam Gung-cheon chuckled.

“That’s it. Haven’t I also received something from you?”

“I didn’t specifically ask for an answer.”

“Really? Then I’ll consider it a debt and accept it later.”

“Hahaha… Yes. Okay.”

“Then, shall we go back and have something to eat? Oh my god. I just wasted the day today.”

I smiled and offered a drink to Namgung-cheon, who grumbled that he had to act like a bathhouse janitor as usual, and he smiled and nodded.

Hongryeon and Chaejin looked at us and sighed.

“Can we do some more?”

“I think I’ll understand something if I just wait a little longer…”

Growing up is a fun thing. Especially for those who learn martial arts, there is nothing more fun than growing in martial arts.

When the two spoke as if they were about to draw their weapons and attack at any moment, Namgoongcheon shook his head.

I also had similar thoughts, so I stopped them.

“There is no need to be too hasty. Don’t you know what will happen if a superhuman goes wrong and runs away?”

Hongryeon and Chaejin’s expressions were horrified at the word ‘runaway’.

In the end, when the two nodded, Namgungcheon chuckled.

“Hahaha! Yuwol, who is a third-rate martial artist, has a deeper mind than you. okay. And if you have a heart attack…”

“…Ha, really, right?”

“Hmm. That’s all for today…”

When Namgung-cheon said that, the two were convinced and stared at each other. But that only lasts for a moment. As the two naturally approached me and placed themselves on either side of my arms, Namgoongcheon stared at us as if he was seeing something fascinating.

“Thank you for your hard work. First, let’s go back, wash up, and have a meal together.”

Anyway, what is Geomseong doing? Hongryeon is preparing like this for succession…

I’m sure they’re not just playing around, right?

It was time to finish the day’s work and try to sleep.

At that time, the fabric connected to the guard room in the next room shook slightly.

“…Sleeping?”

“I’m not going to bed yet.”

When I tried to get up, Hongryeon shook her head. Then, he walked lightly towards my bed and sat down on it.

“Are you worried about anything?”

“Should I say I’m worried…”

It wasn’t like Hongryeon, who always smiled leisurely and charmingly. Her expression, illuminated by the moonlight, was slightly frozen.

“I’m a little scared.”

“Is there something scary about the red lotus of the world?”

“Ahaha…there it is. Of course.”

There will be no problem in succeeding to the position of Jang Mun-in.

In the case of other clans, there were often cases where there were people who interfered with the succession ceremony or openly opposed the succession ceremony, claiming that they wanted to become a scholar.

If you look at Moonwoljeong right now, aren’t Chaejin and Chaeryeon fighting over who is the owner of Moonwoljeong?

Of course, they are on good terms now, but Chae-jin and Chae-ryeon were competing with each other anyway.

But Hong Seong-moon was different.

All of Hong Seongmun’s disciples had been thinking for a long time that Hongryeon would become the next Jangmunin, and they did not even think about interfering with or stopping it.

Even more so since Hongryeon became a superhuman.

So what she’s worried about is…

“Are you doing this because you feel pressured to become a scholar, receive disciples, and take care of your disciples?”

“As expected, I can’t resist.”

Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Hongryeon is so worried.

It may be because of the new pressure that will be placed on her.

“Of course, I know things are different now than when I was a teacher. But…”

Hongryeon slightly lowered her head. The woman who was always confident was showing fear in front of me.

I raised my hand to look at Hongryeon’s expression, which I couldn’t see because I had my head down. When I grab the slim chin and slowly lift it, I see that pretty face.

The fear contained in the beauty that goes well with red hair.

I gently hugged Hongryeon, and she naturally fell into my arms.

“No problem.”

“But.”

“If it’s the Hongryeon I’ve seen so far, there’s no problem at all. You are the one who took care of and ran Hongseongmun for a long time. You are the one who taught the monks for a long time. So, do you think it will be a problem if you become Hong Seong-moon’s long-time scholar and accept new disciples?”

“…Hong Seong-moon is not without talent, but he needs to take a closer look at his personality. Master sees it well, and there are only such good disciples… but will I really be able to see it well?”

This is even more so when you consider the power of Hongseong Shingong.

The power to become both a god and a devil is Hongseong Shingong.

Therefore, what disciples need more than anything is humanity…

Hongryeon shook her shoulders, saying she was worried about whether she would be able to find it.

“…This is the burden of those who stand on top… How do you and Master endure this? I haven’t even started yet, but I’m already feeling anxious…”

I slowly stroked Hongryeon’s back. When she stopped talking and leaned her head on my shoulder, I stroked her calmly.

“You will do well.”

“…Haa…”

“It won’t be easy. But even so, you will do well.”

“…Is that so?”

“That’s right. And if it’s too hard. Come to me anytime. Because that’s what I can do for you.”

“…Thank you for that. Hehehe. I gained courage.”

“That’s a good thing.”

I patted Hongryeon’s back and tried to free her, but her arms were held tightly and wouldn’t let go.

“Please let go.”

But I don’t let go. She smiled brightly as she faced me at a distance so close that I could feel her breath.

“If you want me to let you go, you know what to do, right? Shinsan Seonja Yu…eup?!”

I lightly kissed Hongryeon on the lips, and Hongryeon absentmindedly relaxed her arms.

“to. Eh. Eeee…”

“Now. Then go and rest.”

“Yes…”

I lay down on the bed, watching Hongryeon return to her room with a red face.

What will happen?
