afraid.

I’m afraid of that man

A boy brought by Master Kwak Chun-shik, who is like heaven to us.

Wearing an academy uniform and making a very bored expression, the child sat next to Grand Master Kwak Chun-sik as if it were natural.

On the right is Grand Master Kwak Chun-sam, and on the left is the child.

That look meant only one thing.

‘That child is the enemy of Grand Master Kwak Chun-shik.’

The masters’ demonstration begins, and Master Kwak Chun-sik and Master Kwak Chun-sam observe it with serious eyes.

Same look as always.

Yes, it was natural given the age and experience of the two of you.

But what the heck is that child? A boy who looked at the demonstration of the masters with eyes that did not bow at all compared to the other two.

The emotion that arose from the sight of him looking down as if he were looking at a bug was more fear than anger.

If your body trembles this much just by being still, you cannot be an ordinary child.

The look in his eyes, which could have been a master class, was showing in that child.

“… … execution.”

“Did you feel it too?”

The priest next to him grabbed the sleeves of his shirt with trembling hands.

“Does that mean you have to be at that level to become a disciple of the ambassador?”

But that doesn’t mean I was terrified in front of a frightened priest.

“Well. I don’t know, because we haven’t seen anything yet.”

“that… … That’s it, right?”

“of course.

I can only pray in my heart.

We had no choice but to pray that that child would still fall short of us.

‘Why is fear so piled up?’

Representatives of numerous factions were just watching with joy the demonstration of the Aura ceremony, which was reinterpreted according to their individual personalities, but for some reason, fear began to flow through the crowd.

‘Is the person demonstrating martial arts over there scary?’

It sure turned out to be a bit nasty… … If this is enough to scare the disciples, how scary is he normally? I thought.

“Yujin. What do you think?”

The elderly man who was silently watching the demonstration suddenly turned his head and asked me.

“You mean the one you’re demonstrating?”

“yes. Where, I want to hear your evaluation.”

… … Anything to say about the evaluation?

“just. It will be convenient.”

“It is convenient?”

“Yes. Wouldn’t it be more lethal to hit by increasing the aura bar like that? Well, it would be nice to do a surprise attack or something.”

He hears me and blinks his eyes.

“Khahahahaha! yes. hit! You had the same thoughts as me! hahahaha!”

As if he liked my answer, Kwak Chun-sik burst into a big smile and nodded.

“Yes, as you said. But it’s good to take into account that there are very few people in this world who can do that. Ha ha ha!”

After a while, the instructor who finished all the demonstrations bowed his head in our direction and said goodbye.

“Above, this was Lee Hee-seong, the instructor of the Gwangju faction!”

“Excellent. I will show you a more vigorous side in the future. Master Lee Hee-seong.”

“thank you. Ambassador!”

The skill he showed wasn’t that great.

A technique that can be described as a type of bullet ball that concentrates an aura on the tip of the finger and fires it.

However, I could understand why Kwak Chun-sik praised him in words but did not change his expression.

What is released after passing through and what is released without passing through.

Indeed, nothing was of any use in front of overwhelming power and control.

In other words, if the body is bad, the head suffers.

It’s not that I didn’t do it because I couldn’t do it, I didn’t even try because I didn’t have to.

“ruler. Everyone has suffered so much.”

At that time, Kwak Chun-sam stood up and drew the attention of the people around him.

“With this, all the tribes have announced their achievements, so next time I’m going to see a sparring between the disciples. And, as usual, we are going to award the elixir prepared by our father to the student with the most outstanding skills, so please do your best.”

Since the masters’ demonstration is over, is it the disciples’ turn this time?

As I was about to let out a sigh, thinking how long I would have to sit, I felt a gaze from the side.

When I turn my head, I meet eyes with Kwak Chun-sam, who is looking at me.

“uh… … Why are you like that?”

“Aren’t you also a disciple? Aura-style disciple.”

“Yes? If you ask me, yes, but… … Are you sure you want to go down there?”

You said you could just sit still and watch until the challenge came?

When I looked at Kwak Chun-sik to ask for help, he nodded with a hearty smile.

“It’s a good elixir, so why don’t you give it a shot?”

Then he blinks his eyes twice.

This was a signal set by us, and meant to ask each other for help when we were in trouble.

… … Are you telling me to get out and ask for help?

It was clear that something was there.

“Then let me tell you this. What elixir hangs over the disciples’ sparring?”

You know that ordinary elixirs mean nothing to me.

My answer had that meaning in it. It was Kwak Chun-sam who answered my question.

“It’s a giraffe antler that my father hunted in China in the past.”

“A giraffe’s antler? Are you saying you’re going to get that precious thing here?”

“That’s right. When they cherish it so much, they suddenly say that they will offer an antler as a product a few days ago. Thanks to that, the largest number of people gathered at the General Assembly.”

A few days ago, since midterms are over then?

… … Wait, did you call me to give this to you in the first place?

Looking at the old man again, I saw him smiling brightly and giving a thumbs up under his body.

In other words, publicity will be done as advertised, and elixirs will be given as elixirs?

Normally, I would have said that I could just give it to you, but why did you make such a big deal… … .

‘The giraffe’s antler is the reward, so thank you!’

One of the tier 1 elixirs that is said to increase muscle durability and magic affinity just by ingesting it.

Even in the original work, it was something that could only be obtained by stealing it from Kwak Chun-sik’s safe or working as a disciple for several years.

“Then, can we have a bit of a fight with the other disciples below?”

Kwak Chun-sam laughs as if he is having fun when he gets up from his seat and turns his wrist.

“You’re arguing. Even if they look like that, some are B-class heroes or masters of the Aura style.”

It’s class B… … .

“it’s okay. I already ate a lot.”

“Well?”

I don’t know why, but I’m already full of fear that I’ve absorbed while sitting.

If this was enough, I was confident enough to rub it in.

“Yes, Eugene. Take this before you go down.”

As I tried to walk downstairs, Kwak Chun-sik grabbed my hand and gave me a bracelet with the number [1] written on it.

“What is this?”

“If you wear it down, you’ll find out naturally.”

… … It wouldn’t be strange.

Putting on the bracelet that was handed to me and slowly going down the stage, the men in uniforms hesitantly backed away.

Usually here, ‘what are you doing?’, ‘If you’re a kid, you’ll just go home. What are you doing here?’ Isn’t it a national rule to provoke and spit out the same despicable words?

But for some reason, they seemed to be avoiding even making eye contact, let alone talking to me.

I’m sorry if you do this on purpose.

It sounds like you’re being bullied.

──── Jjoong.

The gong sounded again.

“Disciples, listen! Each of you must have received a bracelet with a number on it before participating in this meeting!”

Hearing Kwak Chun-sam’s resounding voice, the others rolled up their sleeves one by one and began to look at the bracelet on their wrist.

Indeed, this is why I told you to bring your bracelet.

“Dalian goes through a total of 5 battles, and only one person who has gone through all of them will be able to claim the ‘Kirin’s Antler’! Numbers 1 to 100 are on the left! Numbers 101 through 200 scatter to the right! Disciples to the location!”

At the same time, the disciples immediately start moving their seats.

I’m number 1, so can I go left? When I was about to move my steps while thinking.

“Ah, Sasuk!”

A familiar voice came.

“You guys… … ?”

“Yeah. I said I’d see you here, but you’re here!”

When I turned my head towards the place where the voice came from, I saw the apprentices of Cheongya Tea who had caught Fafnir together in Jeju Island.

“It’s only been a few days. It’s nice to see a familiar face though.”

“That’s right. Oh, our workshop lord always asked me to say hello to Sasuk when he met me.”

In other words, Yoon Kwang-soo did not come here.

For some reason, I felt like I couldn’t see them when the instructors were demonstrating.

“Do you think Jeju Island is very busy?”

“hahahaha. That’s right. This time, there are a lot of requests related to the restoration of Jeju Island. Oh, of course, when Sasook’s request comes in, we plan to proceed with it first.”

Apprentices bowing their heads while talking like that.

Whispering voices can be heard from the surroundings.

‘Aren’t those the idiots from Jeju Island?’

‘What nonsense are you talking about? Why are those madmen from Jeju Island here——are they real?’

‘In front of you, you are the apprentice of the ambassador. Right now, I’m bowing my head to that person, right?’

‘Does he treat you naturally?’

‘What’s the matter with those crazy guys lowering their heads?’

Rumors about the original green tea workshop are famous, so all of them are bad reviews.

If you experience it yourself, they are quite delicate children… … They also take good care of the water.

However, the apprentices only smiled single-singlely, as if they were used to it, and rather enjoyed it.

“By the way, what is your number?”

“Ah, we are numbers 45 through 48.”

That means left like me.

“We will fight with the same team this time.”

“It’s reassuring that Sasook is on the same team. Round 1 will definitely pass. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Could it be because they were apprentices who saw the battle of Fafnir firsthand?

They were smiling and looking like they had already won.

“I still don’t know, maybe we’ll have them fight among themselves?”

It was meant to be a joke, but suddenly the apprentices trembled with a straight face.

“Don’t say such scary things!”

“If we end up fighting Sasook, we will withdraw right away.”

“I want to return alive… … .”

What kind of existence am I in these people’s heads?

Well… … Come to think of it, I was afraid. After all, he was a human who had fought with the evil dragon Fafnir bare-fisted.

It’s not bad to absorb a little fear.

at that time.

“Disciples are ready!”

Kwak-! Kwak-! Kwak-!

A gigantic gong sounded through the yard.

Looking across, I could see that each of them was already taking their own fighting posture.

It’s a 50/50 battle.

Have you ever been like this?

‘No.’

Unbeknownst to me, I thought it was fun, and I really wanted to work on it.

thump– thump–

As he bent his neck to the sides, he fitted Midas’ gloves, which had now become like alter egos, on both hands.

Apparently, to them, I must have the strong personality of a stranger who suddenly appeared.

It would be better for me to defend against those who rushed at me than to enter the enemy camp first.

──── Jjoong!

“start!”

At the same time as Kwak Chun-sam shouted, dozens of people started running towards each other at the same time.

A battle between auras and auras taking place everywhere.

When I, too, am taking a defensive posture while looking at a terrifying scene reminiscent of martial arts.

“… … yes?”

For some reason, I realized that no one was running towards me.

why not?

Oh, why are you again?
