Kowloon Society (5)

Paeng Woo-jin, who was lying on the dirt floor after being hit by Elder Lee, was recovered by Paeng-ga and his party.

Paeng Ah-hee thanked Elder Lee, but seeing Paeng Woo-jin with one side of his face red and swollen, he wondered if it was right to do this.

Paeng Ah-hee said it was cheap even if it was right, but it was okay… .

“It is mutually agreed upon.”

Elder Lee’s position was firm.

“If Panga says anything later, please be sure to tell me that I have nothing to do with this.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you that I’ve been watching you all the same, and that it’s you who encouraged the old woman from behind.”

“No, what crime are you dragging me away for?”

“Uh, you didn’t bother to stop something that could have been stopped long ago, so it’s your fault, Yangchun.”

What is this man saying now?

Without a chance to stop, he jumped out like a bullet and swung his fist, but what could I do!

I want to say that, but when I saw Elder Lee grab and beat Paeng Woo-jin, I dared to swallow the back remarks.

‘…I’m going to have to be moderate.’

To be honest, I endured because it was Paengwoojin. If I had been hit by that, I would have died instantly.

I also made up my mind to save myself because I could be hooked at once.

After the stormy schedule, when I went to Wiseol-ah who was waiting for me, Wiseol-ah was looking at Elder Lee with sparkling eyes.

“What is it, what are those twinkling eyes right now?”

“young master! Doongtang! and lay down! Incredibly cool!”

I can’t believe that Elder Lee is referring to Paeng Woo-jin as a fan girl.

…No, isn’t it usually scary? Does it make sense to say that he is cool after seeing his grotesque appearance?

Seeing Wi Seol-ah, Elder Lee smiles happily.

“A pretty little boy knows how to see!”

So, take out the medicine from your bosom and hand it to Wi Seol-ah.

“Since you have been praised, the old woman will give it to you as a gift.”

“Wow! with medicine! Grandpa Bear is the best!”

“bear? ha ha ha! Does that mean that the old lady looked that strong?”

No, I think it’s just the size of a bear.

I swallowed it because I couldn’t bear to say it.

Wi Seol-ah was obviously a servant, so he could get angry if he showed a rude side, but Elder Lee just laughed heartily and showed no signs of caring.

Is it because of Wi Seol-ah’s ridiculous looks, or is it because she’s still young? Everything seems to have passed well, so it will be fine.

Leaving behind Wi Seol-ah, who became quiet after obtaining the medicine, Elder Lee called me.

“Yangcheon-ah.”

“Yes?”

“The old lady was going to talk about it earlier.”

Come to think of it, Elder Lee said that he had something to say and that he was looking for me.

As I looked at what was going on, Elder Lee continued.

“I’m going to go to Dalian after the Kowloon Battle.”

“Elder, sparring? To kill someone else… .”

“Again! Didn’t kill anyone, you bastard! And you are going out, not me.”

“…Yes?”

What kind of crap is this

“Me? Suddenly?”

Why am I suddenly leaving something that seems troublesome?

******************

By the time Missy was done, Kowloon Battle finally started. Gu family collaterals and Shanxi provincial soldiers participated en masse, so even after filtering, there were hundreds of people.

Can I finish this for another day, and by the time the sun goes down?

Of course, since I only sit and watch, it would be more comfortable than the swordsman watching the referee and the warrior fighting directly on the arena.

But why is it that I feel so uncomfortable?

“It would be better if the sparring didn’t end all day.”

If time delays, you’ll have some excuse to run away.

Guryongjeon itself was a pleasure to see. At any time, people are bound to be enthusiastic about unmanned sparring. that’s me too

It’s exciting to see him sticking out the window. He was a warrior who used the advantage of the length of his spear well.

Unfortunately, the opponent was a swordsman. Changsu and swordsmen are not even compatible.

Still, the inspection was calm. He kept his eyes on his opponent while avoiding the penetrating spear points.

‘Did you say it was collateral?’

When first introduced, Swordsman was said to be a collateral branch of the Gu family. My name is… . what was it

“synthesis!”

The spear that I swung vigorously cut through the air quickly, as if avoiding it was annoying. It is said that he was from a ronin, but traces of hard work can be seen in the spearmanship he has sharpened and polished.

However, impatience was poison.

Actions with more force than necessary hinder the succession of herbivores. The opponent did not miss the gap created by it.

Victory was fleeting. With the blade of the sword, he pushes the spearhead, which had been cut into the ground due to the failure of herbivory.

Taking advantage of Chang-soo’s staggering moment, he digs into his arms without hesitation.

There was no other way for Chang-soo, who gave up the range. He hurriedly tried to swing his spear again, but the blade had already touched his neck.

After a brief silence, Changsu sighed and then took a step back. It meant admitting defeat.

His face was full of regret.

Soon after, the referee confirmed the result and said.

“Gu Seon-yeol won,”

‘His name was Gu Seon-yeol.’

It was an impressive match, but it seems that he was not a great warrior enough to spread his name in his previous life.

Maybe I just can’t remember.

“That child will be chosen.”

This elder was a voice full of conviction.

It was a great advantage to have composure as a soldier. Even if I look at it, he was a person who would be chosen someday, if not now.

“How much is left now… .”

When I looked at it, there was already only half left.

I thought it would take a lot longer because it was about 20 people out of hundreds, but the number of sparring grounds and the time of each sparring were shorter than expected, so it seemed like it would end soon.

Even on the first day, I felt like I wanted to finish it quickly and go back, but now I was hoping that this time would never end.

I looked at Elder Lee with a resentful expression.

Elder Lee tells me if he noticed my gaze.

“How are you giving an old lady such dog poop-like eyes?”

“Don’t get me wrong, these are the eyes of respect.”

“You make sounds like dog poop not only with your eyes but also with your mouth.”

I sighed as I saw Elder Lee laughing and laughing at what was so interesting.

The reason for this was the direct Dalian, which was about to end at the end of the Kowloon War. Gu Yeon-seo and I were the only direct relatives who attended the Guryonghoe, so of course the target was the two of us.

I asked why such a nonsensical situation had occurred, but Elder Lee just said it because it looked funny, and it was because he liked it at Cheonil Shopping Mall.

It reminded me of Paeng Woo-jin, who had lost his mind after getting hit earlier.

‘But I can’t beat the elder Lee… .’

Hitting itself is nonsense, and it was questionable from the beginning whether or not to hit him.

“do not worry.”

I looked for someone, and it was Gu Yeon-seo’s voice.

“No one is expecting anything from you. You don’t have to worry about being embarrassed. First of all, it’s blood, so I’ll finish it quickly so it doesn’t hurt.”

“…Very good consideration. Thank you very much.”

I am so grateful that I am in tears.

Gu Yeon-seo had a face that did not even think about losing in the first place.

So he must have said he would gladly accept the words of Elder Lee. Rather, it was a happy face.

It was also a matter of course.

The difference between me, who lived without making any effort at all, and Gu Yeon-seo, who had listened to the sound of a genius, or even a genius, and practiced steadily, was the difference between heaven and earth.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to just abstain quickly?’

It was already a body without prestige.

If you draw another line in ink on a name that is heavily painted in ink, it will not become darker.

“Old Lady Yang Cheon-a will tell you in advance.”

Elder Lee sneaks up and whispers quietly.

“If you’re thinking about something like abstaining, I don’t know if Nobu will hit the night with a little power mistake.”

“Please. It can’t be… .”

This shitty corner of the house… . There was no normal person like one.

It’s like something I said once, but time doesn’t work like I want.

The time for sparring, which I had hoped would never come, came swiftly as if it were poisoning me.

The sun went down and the lights came on again. With the end of the Kowloon War, a total of 21 people were able to come in as the Gu family’s sword belt.

The next day was an after party and festival. Of course, I only had a schedule until the 2nd day, so I was thinking of jumping quickly.

At first, I was just going to watch and then go back, but it was a problem that things got twisted at the end.

I received a lot of attention in a bad way in my previous life, but now I don’t want to be noticed even for small things.

It was a plan to live quietly, as if it were not there.

Actually, it seems that we have already deviated a little, no, a lot from the plan, but that was the case anyway.

You can see the oral history book already on the training ground.

The sword he was holding as if it were hanging down, and from the straight posture, the marks of a well-polished martial artist were showing little by little.

I really hate to go… .

I said to Elder Lee, who was looking at me with a playful face behind me.

“Did you want to see me get hit and lose in front of people like that?”

Anyway, like in his previous life, he was a devil-like old man. Elder Lee smiled strangely at my resentful words.

words that I often say.

“Are you really going to win ‘no’?”

As I was climbing the training ground, I hesitated at Elder Lee’s words.

“What else are you talking about? Why don’t you win? You can’t win.”

“Yes, yes, if you are, then it must be so.”

…Anyway, despite the appearance of a bear, there was a fox-like side to it.

Ignoring Elder Lee, I went up to the training ground.

******************

The moon was rising in the night sky.

It was a thinly sliced crescent moon.

After all the soldiers, who were filled with the smell of sweat, had left, the battlefield was very quiet.

Of course, there were a lot of onlookers surrounding them, but there were only two of them on top of the arena.

Thinking of using a direct descendant of the Gu family as a spectacle at the Guryonghoe, I wondered if it would be a bit excessive even though he was the elder Lee.

“Are you thinking of not wearing a sword?”

Gu Yeon-seo asked me as I relaxed.

knife? Did I use a sword around this time?

Kuga is a Sega that uses swords and fists. It was different from Paengga, who only used swords, and Moyong and Namgung, who only used swords.

Due to the nature of Guyeomhwaryungong, it could be applied to all weapons except for types such as bows and ammunition.

Among them, he mainly uses swords and fists, which are the most versatile.

And as I realized later, the thing that suits me the most is authority.

“I decided not to use a sword, it didn’t suit me very well.”

“You say it so easily without investing enough time to judge it.”

Gu Yeon-seo doesn’t know what I’ve been through, so it will look like that. I didn’t bother to correct it. If you say it, it will look like an excuse.

Gu Yeon-seo said.

“Do you know how long it takes for us to sparr?”

“Well.”

“It’s been a while, I’ve been constantly wishing, isn’t it time to legally beat my brother? Although I didn’t want to do it in a crowd like this.”

“Why do you say such scary things casually?”

It was such a distant memory for me. It’s time to forget even the memories of now.

However, the memory of the last confrontation with Gu Yeon-seo in the previous life was still vivid.

Dalian was definitely not a peaceful word.

At that time, Gu Yeon-seo was pointing a sword at me. The blade of the sword was filled with red bets.

Red Flame Sword.

It was a nickname given to Gu Yeon-seo by the central court. I didn’t think it was a very appropriate word.

A battered man with tears in his eyes and blood dripping from his mouth.

Even so, the image of him spouting bloody killings against his flesh and blood was vivid in my memory.

‘I will kill you, as much as you are.’

It was raining then.

It’s not raining now.

It’s something that hasn’t happened yet, and if it can be done, it should be.

I had to keep reminding myself of that.

“I always wanted to do it whenever I had the chance. You always ran away.”

A face that hasn’t shed a lot of breast meat, and a voice that is still young.

In my memory, he has a much more mature voice than he does now, and his mature appearance is different from what he is now.

However, the way he pointed the knife at me was the same as back then.

It was a wooden sword, not a real sword, but it was very similar to the one in my memory.

Gu Yeon-seo said while lost in thought.

Thanks to that, I was able to calm down a bit.

“I hate you.”

The friendly words and the distance were quite far, but thanks to that, I came to my senses.

“I know.”

It’s a story I know, how can I not know it when I show off like that.

“I hate being born as a child of a famous family, and not even trying hard, and I really hate being trashy.”

“I know, but it hurts a little to hear the words.”

I understand. I would have hated it if I met someone like me in the past.

‘It’s funny. I’m saying it’s a bit different now?’

It was something I didn’t even know about myself.

“start!”

Elder Lee shouted with all his energy. I listened carelessly and without preparation, and my ears were blind.

As if waiting, Gu Yeon-seo kicks her seat and attacks. There was no such thing as conceding the first attack in consideration of the weak.

I feel the heat from Gu Yeon-seo, who has dug into my arms.

It was the aftermath of the Guyeomhwaryungong that reached 3 stars. A warm energy engulfs the surroundings.

‘It looks like he really doesn’t want to look at me this much.’

The sword wielded draws an unshakable curve, as if telling the results of the training that Gu Yeon-seo has been doing.

I took a step back, twisted my upper body while drawing, and avoided the sword attack.

Gu Yeon-seo’s eyes widen. It’s an eye that I didn’t know how to avoid.

However, it immediately changes its herbivore and develops. All the fast-moving swords were aiming for vital points.

The minimum level of body movements I can do. Excessive strength in a weak body only stiffens the body.

The ensuing sword attack was obviously fast and fatal, but I was able to avoid it by moving half a beat faster than that.

I already feel out of breath.

In my head, I was thinking where and how I could end it naturally.

“It’s still the same as avoiding anything!”

Gu Yeon-seo brandishes her sword and shouts.

Gu Yeon-seo’s transparent malice was ironically so clear that it seemed to be visible.

How many more sums have passed like that?

Knock-

Gu Yeon-seo gritted her teeth, perhaps because her diet didn’t work. The relaxed posture of the beginning is not visible at all.

What is it that is in such a hurry?

After a while, I moved back and changed my posture.

Something rises from Gu Yeon-seo’s wooden sword like a haze.

It just looked dangerous.

‘…If that’s right, it shouldn’t be.’

Now, Gu Yeon-seo, a member of Samsung, put Guyeomhwarungong in a wooden sword, albeit in a small way. This meant that Sasung was right in front of his nose.

It was just a rough bet, so it was incomplete.

Glancing at Elder Lee, he rests his chin on his hand and watches as if he is interested.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of helping.

‘…Damn it, how can I avoid getting hit without revealing it?’

It seemed like it would be perfect if I fell out of it, but it seemed too dangerous.

‘how will we do it.’

Gu Yeon-seo’s wooden sword shimmers with a shallow red aura.

My hands are shaking as if I can’t handle the energy I put in.

“Without doing anything, without talent and without effort, just because he is a son… .”

Gu Yeon-seo seemed to be delirious as if she had put too much of her inner energy into it at once.

As I said, I understand the heart of Gu Yeon-seo.

I was able to accept him because I vaguely knew what he was feeling cramped for, and even his feelings of malice against me were valid.

but.

“If you’re going to live like that, I’d rather… … . You shouldn’t have disappeared, just like your mother did.”

“What?”

However, there are some words that should not be said.

Gu Yeon-seo takes a leap with all her strength and throws out her sword. There was a crack in the floor of the training ground where Gu Yeon-seo was standing.

However, the sword, which was full of energy in anger, was impatient and weak.

I turned and dodged the sword.

When the object to raise the sword disappears, Gu Yeon-seo stumbles, unable to control her strength.

Gu Yeon-seo urgently tries to find the center.

Without hesitation, I hit Gu Yeon-seo’s face with my hand.
