According to the fantasy novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Na Gwan-jung, who suspiciously likes the Shu Dynasty (not Yeon-hee), Yu Mo, the King of Destruction, who was wandering around like the plague and destroying his own team, was in the early night looking for a strategist who could devise a strategy for him. When I visited Zhuge Liang’s house where I was staying, Zhuge Liang said that he came up with a strategy called the world’s three branches for such an analogy.

And at Zhuge Liang’s suggestion, Liu Bei obtained Jingju and Yiju through all sorts of tricks, thus marking the beginning of the Wei Shuwu era as we know it.

At this very moment, the extraordinary strategy that opened the most exciting era in Chinese history was unfolding again on the balcony of a hotel in Korea, transcending the limitations of time and space.

Lahee of the Wei Dynasty.

Ari of the Shu Dynasty.

And… to Han Joo-yeon, who is in Oh Na-ra’s position.

However, unlike Luo Guan-zhong’s fantasy novel, in which the Kingdom of Wu and the State of Shu used to unite to keep the State of Wei in check, the plot unfolding before my eyes feels like Ra-Hee and Ah-Li forming a loose alliance to unilaterally beat up the main character, the State of Wu. Although it was close.

And it feels more painful to be beaten one-sidedly by someone you considered to be beneath you than to be beaten by someone you recognized as stronger than you.

Is that why?

After a moment of hesitation at Ari’s one-two followed by a straight combo, he soon came to his senses and went out to stop Juyeon, who had started throwing threatening comments at Ari, who had tried to recruit him as an ally just moments ago.

“You know that if it goes any further than that, it’s hard to dismiss it as a joke anymore, right?”

Of course, it didn’t just stop with words.

Because they brought out all the true energy that was dormant inside the inner space and covered the balcony we are currently on with the barrel.

This is a state called the manifestation of courage, as it is a state where the internal energy accumulated within the Danjeon can be used as a medium through the body or a sword to create a form so clear that it can be seen by other people.

A skill that only a person who has reached such a level can perform was performed against the three people.

Because I focused only on taking control of the surrounding space without necessarily creating a shape, I couldn’t see anything in particular, but unlike my eyes, which couldn’t detect any changes, I wonder if my senses weren’t like that.

They were ready to rush at each other and grab each other’s hair, but their actions suddenly stopped as if they had never been like that.

“Tsk, okay. It’s okay if you stop.”

“If my brother says so…”

“This, this…”

A person who has been beaten gets hit well, and a person who has eaten meat eats well. Unlike Rahee and Arirang, who have already experienced something similar and adapted relatively quickly, in the case of Juyeon, their shoulders are weighed down by something invisible. Is it because this is my first experience?

A visibly embarrassed expression appeared on Juyeon’s face, as if he had even forgotten to control his facial expressions, which he had been maintaining steadily since a while ago.

However, it wasn’t just that.

Obviously, the proportion of feelings of embarrassment was overwhelmingly high, but underlying it was an extremely intense joy.

It’s the kind of feeling that only a person would have when they found out that their guess was correct.

It appeared briefly in Juyeon’s eyes and then quickly disappeared.

‘but···.’

Because of the hypnosis I had instilled in him, Juyeon firmly believed that I must be hiding something that would greatly help him improve his skills as a hunter.

However, since I experienced something like this in a situation where I believed so much, what was just a guess had no choice but to solidify into certainty.

‘Well, it’s not completely wrong.’

The reason I decided to teach martial arts to Rahee and Ari in the first place was because I thought that if each of them had not only the awakened talent but also the martial arts that suited them, they would never be in danger while working as hunters.

Wasn’t that actually the reason why I taught Ra-hee the Naegongsim method, which has Yang-gang properties that seemed to go well with her talents, and tutored Ari mainly on Bo-beop and Shin-beop?

Therefore, it could not be said that the hypnosis content I had engraved into Juyeon’s mind was completely false.

That may have played a role in the fact that Ra-hee did not feel any discomfort during the conversation with Joo-yeon, who was in hypnosis.

Anyway, his eyes sparkled for a moment, thinking that he knew this would happen when I revealed what I was hiding, but maybe he came to the conclusion that it would be foolish to continue the fight in a situation where there were not one, but two enemies.

“Sorry, I heard something so unexpected that I got a little excited without realizing it.”

Juyeon, who had once again adopted the same gentle attitude he had shown when dealing with Rahee, looked up and pretended to check the clock on the wall.

“Ah, when did time go like this…”

Then he got up from his seat with a slightly troubled expression.

“I feel like I want to sit here longer… Rahee, as you know, I’m the host of today’s party, right?”

Thanks to this, there will be a lot of people looking for me, but Juyeon said that it would be rude to those attending today’s party to leave the seat empty any longer, and after finishing organizing the entrance, he turned and headed towards the door.

“Well, everyone had fun. If you need anything, tell the staff.”

And then, with those last words, he slipped out of the balcony.

I wonder if both Rahee and Ari found it absurd that Juyeon, who felt like he was in a bit of a corner whenever he invited someone from the party to come here, would just say what he had to say and then storm off.

“Ha···.”

“You’re a strange person… Have you ever been like that before?”

“It was much worse than that in the past. If I told you that I was the only one looking at you, you would start a fight?”

“Isn’t that just a crazy bitch?”

As soon as Juyeon left the balcony, Juyeon’s confession meeting began under the leadership of Rahee and Ari.

“By the way… why is that girl showing interest in my brother?”

“I guess he noticed.”

“Did you notice? What?”

“That’s what Soohyun Yoon taught us.”

“Ah…”

For a moment, I was absorbed in denouncing Juyeon’s atrocities, and as if it had never happened before, I listened to the conversation between the two people who had immediately entered into a countermeasures meeting, and noticed the extremely meaningful look that Juyeon gave me before leaving the balcony. recalled.

‘That’s definitely…’

The look in his eyes said, “See you later.”

Did you think it was too much to try now?

Well… Arirang and Rahee’s guard needs to be a little thicker…

“How did you notice? That… no one knows except me, my sister, and my brother.”

“That’s right… I’m sure it’s not like they installed a hidden camera in my house.”

“That…”

“Why? Do you have any guesses?”

“Actually, I ran into Juyeon Han on my way to the bathroom earlier, right?”

Could it be that those words were decisive?

Arirang Rahee’s eyes changed.

Thanks to this, the thing called conscience, which was unexpectedly still alive, felt like it was being pricked by something sharp.

“So? It’s not like we just met and it’s over.”

“Well… Rahee asked me how I ended up meeting you again?”

In reality, Juyeon sent me a text message and called me out, and while I was having a one-on-one fight with Juyeon, a situation that was too good for hypnosis unfolded before my eyes, so I couldn’t stop and did it, and this was the result, but I recited it straight away. If I did that, it wouldn’t just be a case of my back being on fire, but my whole body could actually be on fire, so I said a suitably believable dramatization.

“Rahee, as you know… I cut off all contact and suddenly went diving, right?”

“I know, I know very well.”

“Thanks to you, the flirting between the two of us at the time naturally became a thing of the past… I guess that was surprising because the guy who was like that clung to your side again to the point where he even took on the role of partner in such an important event.◦@ ◦

“Hmm… I’m sure… it’s just an idea she would think of. Anyway, so?”

“So, what is the reason? To tell the truth, I just told you that we ended up meeting again by chance.”

As she said that and shrugged her shoulders, something that could be called confidence appeared on Rahee’s slightly narrowed face.

“That’s why.”

“What?”

“After hearing what you said, I thought there must be something between you and me. And I just gained confidence from that.”

After saying exactly that, no more, no less, Rahee tapped her lips with her finger.

It was something that Rahee tended to do out of habit when she had something to seriously think about.

“Ha, sir… Even if you get caught, why do you have to get caught by Han Joo-yeon…”

“Are you a dangerous person?”

“It’s dangerous. I’ve never seen a person as persistent as him in my life.”

Rahee, who said that to Ari, shifted her gaze and looked at me again.

“First of all… I will do my best to handle this, so please be careful for a while. I’m sure I’ll get a call from that number, but I’ll chew it all up.”

“···Okay.”

“I feel like telling them to just stay home for a while and not go to school… but then they will be more confident… ah… that’s annoying. Really.”

“It is very difficult to see the faces of classmates at the gifted education center. Right?”

“Ha···.”

“What are you doing? Are you going to keep standing there like that?”

“···.”

“Ta.”
