“You all just call me unknown. It would be perfect to refer to an old man who suffers in his later years because he has no eyes for his students.”

After finishing organizing the titles so simply, Unknown immediately began to train me.

“My legs need some recovery, so I need to start by repairing my upper body and its mental head.”

He said and filled my arms and waist with metal bars.

“…Unknown Senior, may I ask how much this costs?”

Perfect!

Immediately, sparks flew across my forehead.

“Tsk tsk. Anyway, my mind is rotting away. why? What changes if you know the weight? Are you trying to set a limit in your head that you can overcome with ten pounds and not with fifty pounds?”

“That’s not it…!”

“Noisy. They put an iron bar outside, so you can just hang on to it!”

Even if I couldn’t do it, my shoulders were already sore from hanging on to the iron bar with iron bars that looked like they weighed more than 20 pounds.

As I was doing pull-ups, Sajo continued to nag me.

“You are a form energy god, and the harmony of body, mind, and qigong is very unbalanced. Aside from the method of training the body, the method of training the energy follows the inner gongsim method, so even if there is nothing you can do about it, the training of the mind is just a mess!”

In fact, I couldn’t understand what exactly the unknown elder was talking about when it came to mental training.

Because I have always understood this world of martial arts through monitors. All I knew was what was expressed in numbers and letters on the monitor. As I awakened my sword skills, I realized that there were many more things besides the knowledge of the martial arts world that I knew…

I just acknowledged unknown territory and acknowledged ignorance.

I didn’t know much about that area.

I looked at the unknown figure in front of me.

If I were the old man who conquered the game of martial arts.

This person can be said to be a person who has conquered martial arts itself.

I’m not sure if Unknown is someone who can tell me about areas I don’t know.

I asked as I did pull-ups with trembling arms.

“Then how can we train a god?”

“The way to train a god is not much different from the way to train an older brother, so the only right way is to try hard and not avoid it. However, in your current state, you must first lay the foundation before training yourself.”

“Keuung, then how can we lay the foundation?”

The basis of “-hyung is, of course, physical strength. So what is the basis of spirit?”

“Is it mental strength?”

“He is stubborn.”

yes? what?

At the completely unexpected answer, I unconsciously stopped doing pull-ups and looked at Unmyung.

“Tsu-eup.”

Of course, I immediately moved my arms in response to the threat.

“Keueook! No, the foundation of spirit is tenacity?”

“Yes. The body is subject to material limitations, but the mind is not. It means that if you can endure it, your mind can expand infinitely.”

How ominous is this?

Sajo said with a chuckle.

“So, I myself will beat your spirit and expand your horizons.”

“…Elder Sajo, what exactly is the method…?”

“Everything possible!”

Unknown spoke clearly.

“Right now, let’s start by cultivating a spirit that does not succumb to the pain that the body inflicts!”

oh.

I slowly began to understand why Seohak buried Bigeup and ran away.

“Move quickly. Because there are a lot of upper body exercises to do before lunch.”

My thoughts seem to be crazy.

*** ***

The Hocheonan group looked at Bulmyeong rolling the Hocheonan with a subtle expression.

There were many things they had to deal with urgently.

Hyeok Kirin was in a situation where he had to contact the Red Army and take follow-up measures related to the misreading, and Heukmyo checked where the hole was in the surveillance network that was monitoring Jeong Cheol and searched for information related to the Sadyoryun to predict how Jeong Cheol would react due to this incident. I had to gather all the information.

But whatever. Isn’t it suddenly rolling the Hucheonan?

As a result, the companions were stranded without being able to do anything.

Although I was grateful to Bulmyeong for taking care of my internal injuries and even treating me, it was difficult to say that I would leave because I was busy, and it was also difficult to leave Hocheonan alone even if there was something that needed to be handled urgently.

The group can’t do this or that, and are just looking at Hocheon-an, who is being rolled to death with an ambiguous expression.

“Let’s eat and eat.”

Unknown words were sent to Ho Cheon-an, signaling the end of his hellish morning training.

dump!

Ho Cheon-an, whose upper body was being overused to death because his leg was injured, fell down and did not move.

Unmyeong looked at Hocheonan and muttered.

“Dead.”

‘….He’s dead!?’

Everyone in the group looked at Bulmyeong in horror, but Bulmyeong just picked up the Hocheonan as a gift out of thin air, placed it roughly on the floor, and turned his head towards the companions.

“Aren’t you in the market? If you have a favorite food, please tell me. Because I can do everything.

Everyone smiled awkwardly at the unknown voice, which exuded kindness and goodwill, unlike when dealing with Ho Cheon-an.

Hyuk Kirin, who was the most friendly person, spoke to brighten the mood.

“No. If you allow it, it would be right for us to prepare a small meal and treat them well. If so, is it okay if I use the kitchen?”

“Hehe, you sound amazing. Okay. As a host, it is your duty to treat guests well, so do not hesitate to say it.”

“There is no food to choose from because we have become accustomed to it during long travels. I’m just thankful that they provide me with a meal.”

Unmyung continued to smile, nodded, and went into the kitchen. As Bulmyeong entered the kitchen, Tang Xiaoyeol sighed and opened his mouth.

“How do you all plan to move forward?”

“Hmm….”

The group remembered the talent that Bulmyeong had shown and hesitated to open their mouths for a moment. It’s quite far from the kitchen, but of course Unknown can also be heard.

“It is true that there is a lot of work to be done.”

“I’m worried that the raincoat also needs to be recovered.”

“Aren’t there people who will cause trouble if contact is lost?”

If no contact was made to the Red Army like this, there was a risk of not knowing what Kangchumoru would do after claiming that the princess had gone missing.

As the group was worrying, a ray of scent flowed into their noses.

“Um…?”

“This smell is…”

Dang Do-yeon lifted her face slightly and smelled it without realizing it. What is this smell? I don’t know what it was, but it smelled delicious.

gulp.

Everyone swallowed their saliva and naturally turned their gaze towards the kitchen.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing prepared, but everyone eat a lot.”

The group’s eyes widened at the food that filled the table. Food that looks so delicious that you can taste it not only by smell but also by sight! As Bulmyeong picked up the chopsticks, everyone in the group shoved food into their mouths.

‘it’s good…!’

Hyuk Kirin’s eyes widened as the flavor of fried rice exploded in his mouth. The scent of green onions dissolved in the oil counteracted the greasy taste, while at the same time, a subtle spicy kick added a variation to the taste. What about the grain of rice tightly wrapped in that variation?

The flavor was still alive despite the use of dried meat as well as eggs, which provide a fluffy texture even between the rice grains.

The taste of the food made even Hyuk Kirin, who had tasted all kinds of gourmet food at the imperial palace, vomit in exclamation!

From fancy seasonings made with various seasonings to stir-fried vegetables simply stir-fried in oil, each dish boasted a unique taste, so the group just played with their chopsticks frantically.

“Hehe, it looks good when you eat it deliciously.”

“Hmm, hm…”

“Unknown The elderly man’s skills are so excellent…”

When I came to my senses, I found that all the food that had been prepared was emptied until my upper legs broke. I blushed and lowered my head at the fact that I showed my greed for someone I had never met before.

Looking at that, Unmyung laughed and got to the point.

“Okay, now that I’m full, let’s talk.”

The group, except Ho Cheon-an, exchanged glances with each other.

“The reason I let Sason sleep for a while was to allow you to make a choice without feeling burdened.”

“…You don’t feel any burden?”

“Do you know the rules of this place?”

The group nodded.

“Then the story will be fast. In order for me to be here, maintaining the order is essential. However, the defense here is fundamentally problematic.”

“Do you mean that if you open the stone gate, this place will inevitably be exposed, and if you close the stone gate, you won’t know who is attacking the stone gate?”

Unmyung nodded at the party’s point.

“Accurate. Therefore, Nobu plans to deploy a defense strategy to defend the stone gate. A method of completely blocking this place from the outside world.”

‘It’s true law.’

I thought the black cat was a reasonable decision. I don’t know, but since Jeongcheol wouldn’t sit still, there was a possibility that he could somehow find out the secret of the true plan unfolding here.

If there is a structural problem, it would be better to deploy a military strategy to block it.

Unknown words followed.

“The formation I will deploy is a fierce battle that I can guarantee that no one can easily invade, but once deployed, it has the disadvantage that no one can enter unless the formation is lifted from the inside. That means that if the wife and children want to be with that guy, they have to stay here until that guy’s training is over.”

“Umm.”

“Once you enter the camp, you may have to be locked up for years without any guarantee, so judge carefully. Occasionally, martial arts skills may be tolerated, but they will never listen to a request to open a camp in the middle.”

It was certainly a difficult decision to say yes or no to in a situation where the parties involved were watching and listening.

“We will discuss the details of how to proceed after he wakes up, so I am just telling you in advance that you all should make up your mind.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“Hehe, yes. Think carefully and make a decision.”

Tang So-yeol, who had been following Unmyung leaving the scene, turned his head towards the group again with an excited expression.

Black Cat, Yeo Il-ye, and Hyuk Kirin. A trio with a very subtle vibe!

Yeo Il-ye glanced at Hyuk Kirin and thought.

‘Yes…it would have been better if the board had been laid down.’

Does Hyuk Kirin really have feelings for Ho Cheon-an? Ever since Hyeok Kirin joined, Yeo Il-ye has been unable to reach a conclusion on this issue.

Let’s take this opportunity to open Hyeok Kirin’s heart! It was a great burden for the princess, Hyeok Kirin, to remain in this camp where she might be trapped for several years. The reason for staying even with that burden is…

“Keuhum, what do you plan to do, Ambassador? Wouldn’t it be a bit burdensome to leave it?”

Please just say you will leave.

Hyeok Gi-rin, who had a complicated mind thinking about handling various matters, did not notice Yeo Il-ye’s earnest feelings at all and answered half-heartedly.

“If I can get the job done, I should stay. I can’t just leave you like that, and this is an opportunity to learn something from you.”

“That, that, is that so…”

Yeo Il-ye’s eyes are shaking in shock. And Hyeok Gi-rin was lost in thought, not noticing Yeo Il-ye’s presence. And Tang So-yeol’s eyes sparkle when he sees that. Even Dang Do-yeon, who was distracted by worries about the raincoat.

‘Ugh.’

Seeing the group like that, the black cat sighed and clapped its hands to attract attention.

“Now, it’s not too late to make up your mind after checking exactly how the battle will unfold! So let’s watch first!”

The group members nodded, each with their own thoughts.
