72 – A bit scratched. (One)

scratched a little (One)

After a while, Youngpoong returned to the room with an embarrassed expression on his face.

The situation didn’t calm down very much, but I kicked the two guys out for breakfast.

Wiseol-ah still seemed to have a lot of complaints, but it seemed like he went out without saying anything about rice.

I had to eat too… I waited because I thought that if Youngpoong came early in the morning, it would be an urgent matter.

After a while, Youngpoong came in and looked everywhere.

Who would have known that the genius who would represent the volcano in the future would be such a quick-witted person… .

‘Is it because I’ve been hit all over the place by my classmates?’

It was love bullying to me, but I don’t know what Yeongpoong’s position would be.

I asked Youngpoong, who was moving his eyes here and there.

“Yeongpoong Dojang, what are you doing this morning?”

“ah.”

Youngpoong smiles slightly as if he has come to his senses at my call.

Or is it because you are relieved that the atmosphere is relaxed?

“It’s nothing else, Jang Moon-in has been looking for Gu So-hyeop.”

“Are you talking about this time, Mr. Jang?”

Maehwaseon is looking for me?

I wonder if there was something to find, but I wondered if it was because of the energy in my body.

“Can I see you now?”

“He told me to come back when it was convenient for me.”

So that means you don’t have to go right now.

Then, fortunately, I thought I would be able to eat and go.

“Did you have dinner?”

It was a question I asked Yeongpoong, who had been running around since morning.

In fact, I thought I would know at the point where I was already wearing the uniform properly and taking a neat appearance.

“Oh, I just ate and was on my way to morning training.”

“… You are amazing from early morning.”

“Yes… ? Doesn’t everyone usually go to practice around this time?”

What nonsense is this?

I couldn’t bear to answer Yeongpoong’s words.

The Taoist’s morning is early.

In Taoism, there is a saying that you must receive the energy of dawn, so even if you can’t, you will wake up at the time of death (5 to 7 in the morning).

… I wake up when the sun is up.

In the case of today, I woke up early because I hadn’t slept well.

[Why can’t you say that you didn’t sleep well because of the sound of breathing next to you?]

‘…’

… Big hum.

Namgoongbia hardly moves when sleeping.

I was just lying comfortably and breathing, but that bothered me so much.

Because of that, I hardly slept.

‘… Thanks to that, I drank a lot of morning air.’

As expected, the morning air gives a good feeling.

Still, I didn’t feel like drinking often. Getting up in the morning was still hard work.

Yeongpoong must have sensed something from my words, and for some reason, his eyes changed into bright lights.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Frightened by my question, Yeongpung speaks to me.

“So-hyeop, maybe it’s fate that we met like this.”

“… You came to tell me in person, what is the connection?”

“Would you like to train with me?”

I’m not listening at all

It was the same when Youngpoong accompanied me to the Volcano Sect, and for some reason, Youngpoong wanted to train with me.

I don’t know if he’s just crazy about training or if there’s some reason, but he’s been recommending it almost every time he sees me.

“… no i won’t… .”

I had to eat, and I was training alone, so I tried to refuse this time too.

Suddenly, I wondered how the Volcano Sect practiced.

They begged me to practice with them every day, but what was the difference?

I thought a little that I wouldn’t practice so ignorantly from the wind in the morning.

“Well… . What if it’s okay after I eat?”

“Ohhh!”

So I just spit it out once.

With the mind that I must die.

Even if it’s a little excessive, you can think of doing a lot of morning training.

And after a while I found out.

Curiosity is a sin.

In fact, I knew it well.

Why did I have to feel that again… .

f*ck… .

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

Not even an hour had passed since I started training.

“… oh oh oh… 100 million… .”

I was lying on the ground, moaning in pain.

My whole body felt uncomfortable because it was wet with sweat.

The pain that echoed through every joint rang through my head.

Crazy… .

I can’t even breathe properly.

Yeongpoong, who started training together, was casually playing magic next to him.

Youngpoong said that he was going to climb the mountain behind him again with sandbags hanging here and there on his limbs…

‘Aren’t you crazy?’

I wasn’t the one who went through regression and neglected training.

I thought that I had been doing intense training whenever I had free time.

No matter how ‘it’s’, this is too much, too much…?

In the middle, I could see the other three disciples training, but there was an overwhelmingly large amount of training for Yeongpoong.

“So-hyup, are you okay?”

As if he was worried about me lying down, Young Poong approaches after finishing the magic trick.

I could see sweat beading on my forehead, but I was dumbfounded at Youngpoong’s expression of being refreshed.

“stamp… .”

“Yes?”

“… Why are you okay?”

“Yes… ?”

From Yeongpoong’s point of view, this would be a more absurd question.

‘Has my body been weak this far?’

To be precise, it may have been a lack of effort.

The need to increase the amount of training was felt.

Even after going through death, I feel embarrassed that I lived a little indolently.

It was difficult because of my exhausted body and slightly foggy mind, but it was fortunate that I did not lose anything.

I guess it gave me an opportunity to calm myself down a bit.

‘… Still, I won’t go this far.’

He forced his throbbing body up.

I couldn’t move easily, so I ended up having to make a bet, but I managed to do it somehow.

[Is it okay?]

Shin Noya asks as he wipes his sweaty face.

‘What do you mean?’

[They say you have a problem with your body, so it’s okay to use your body like that.]

Shin Noya’s words must be that the problems caused by the collision of energy do not affect the body.

Mouth fire ring ball, volcanic pottery, and something hidden inside.

Just thinking about it makes me want to put so much in my body.

Wearing two things that the owner doesn’t care about and doesn’t pay the rent for… .

All the more, I laughed out loud because I was given a time-limited decision saying that I don’t know when these things will explode.

but.

‘It’s still fine.’

I understood what Shin Noya was talking about, but so far it was fine.

It’s not a trivial thought like ‘if it was going to explode, it would have exploded long ago’.

To some extent, it was because there was a part that was expected.

Even the way to get better was expected to some extent.

Not a cure.

It was a problem with a solution.

‘… I didn’t want to do it even if I died.’

Even if that was true, it was something to think about for a while.

So far.

He asked Yeongpoong, raising his sweaty head with his hand.

“Are you going to train more then go?”

“Yes? Oh, of course I have to go further, but I’m only halfway there yet.”

“Yes… ?”

“That’s too bad… Gu So-hyeop seems to be feeling a little unwell today.”

“… I didn’t get any sleep tonight.”

“ah! Then you must be tired!”

I wasn’t tired at all, but I was glad I had at least one excuse.

He shook his head at Yeongpoong’s harsh words.

It was a figure to be followed as a warrior, but why was it somehow reluctant?

[Because I haven’t tasted training yet. tsk tsk… If you run one more lap, you’ll get used to that kind of excruciating pain… . Giving up without running this… .]

… Are the people of the volcano not normal, or am I abnormal?

It’s become something I don’t know much about.

After getting some water and washing off the sweat, I changed my clothes well.

Taking a peek at the residence, Namgoongbia must have had enough sleep to find that she was taking a nap.

Wi Seol-ah was sleeping next to me, and I felt like sisters, perhaps because they were both radiant children.

I’m dying because it’s hard to walk properly now, but I didn’t like it when I saw him sleeping comfortably.

I immediately approached the two and grabbed the nostrils with my hand.

“Ugh!”

“… ?”

Weiseol-ah jumped up as if she was out of breath.

Namgoongbia widens her eyes, but doesn’t wake up.

this isn’t happening… ?

Looking at Wi Seol-ah, who woke up on the contrary, her pretty hair, which Hongwa must have worked hard to touch, was a mess from tossing and turning while sleeping.

Looking at it, I said.

“If you go to sleep as soon as you eat, you become a pig?”

“… yes… Yes?”

Perhaps I hadn’t woken up, I looked at Wi Seol-ah, who was in a daze, and I roughly stroked her hair and woke up.

Namgoongbia had already woken up, but it seemed that she was already asleep again.

“young master… .”

“yes?”

“Where are you going?”

“Here, the master craftsman is calling.”

“Does it take long?”

“Well… ? I don’t think it will take very long.”

“Come before bed… ?”

“People have to sleep, so you should come before bedtime.”

Sleeping on the street is now a requirement.

Such an uncomfortable bed was enough for her previous life.

“Then it’s okay! Bye!”

After saying that with a smile, Wi Seol-ah lay down next to Namgung-bia again.

I decided to leave it a little longer anyway, since Hongwa will appear and drag me to work in a little while.

With a creaking body, I walked to the long gated residence.

While going, I felt the disciples of Hwasan glancing at me, but I turned off my nerves because it looked like a strange animal.

As long as there is no hostility, it doesn’t matter.

As I approached the door before I knew it, I heard Maehwaseon’s words from inside the residence, ‘Come in.’

I didn’t even say I was going in yet… . Keep your ears open too.

As I carefully entered the residence, I was sure it smelled of plum tea, just like the last time.

This time, proper refreshments were prepared.

“I think you said you didn’t have it the other day, but did you buy one?”

“Yeah, I thought there weren’t too many, so I went down to the prefecture yesterday and bought some. Doesn’t it look delicious?”

It looks sweet and delicious, but… .

Now that I’m no longer looking for something sweet, I just passed it off with a smile.

“What did you find me for?”

As soon as I sat down, I asked why, and Mae Hwa-seon laughed.

“I thought it would be like drinking some tea… . Anyway, Mr. Goo’s personality is really impatient… .”

“ah.”

Mae Hwa-seon’s gaze, as if he was overlapping with Elder Lee’s, was very disquieting.

Everything is fine, but I don’t think he resembles that fiery old man… .

It was nonsense.

My mouth was a little dry, so I took the medicine and one that was placed in front of me, ate it, and rinsed my mouth with tea.

Mae Hwa-seon, who may have seen my slightly ruined expression, sighed and quickly continued talking.

“No big deal, do you remember the cabin we went to yesterday?”

“Yes… . Isn’t that where the swordsman is?”

The place where Geomhu is being treated by Shinui is the place I went to yesterday, but I couldn’t forget it.

Mae Hwa Seon handed me an unknown letter and said,

“Can you give this to Tae’s bastard and come back?”

“Me?”

It was a rather embarrassing request.

Because it was a difficult thing to say to a foreigner.

Why am I doing this?

There are so many disciples of Hwasan just by looking outside?

Like Young Poong, Young Poong, Young Poong.

Unbeknownst to me, an expression saying that I didn’t understand well because I couldn’t manage my expression came out.

Mae Hwa Seon sees it and smiles.

“You look like you don’t know why he’s asking you this.”

“Honestly, yes. It’s a bit ambiguous to tell outsiders.”

“… In fact, most of the volcanoes don’t know that Swordsman is there.”

I was momentarily dazed at what Maehwaseon said.

Nobody knows?

“The fact that the child is sick is something that most people don’t know.”

“Why did I find out about such a seemingly important story… ?”

“…”

If most of them didn’t know, it would be a story that not only Youngpoong, but also the three great disciples, the second great disciples, and maybe even the first great disciples wouldn’t know.

Why do I know such an important story?

Did Maehwaseon have an idea?

However, Mae Hwa Seon could not easily answer my question.

It looks like she’s slightly avoiding her eyes, maybe it’s an illusion… ?

I asked with a fluke eye in a strange feeling.

“Have you forgotten?”

“… Big! I will… Riga!”

The reaction made it even clearer.

… Did you really forget this?

Mae Hwa Seon’s clearing of his cough and reaction made him more and more confident.

Suddenly he took me to Shinui, so I wondered if he was thinking about something, but he said he did it once?

volcanic wave… . Is it really okay like this?

[…] God of Heaven and Earth… .]

Shin Noya has finally reached the point where he seeks God.

“Anyway, the fact that I, who am not a literary man, is helping me with this… ”

“Medicine.”

“Yeah?”

“Didn’t you take the medicine?”

“What is that… ?”

I looked around for a while to see what Maehwaseon was saying out of the blue.

There was a gap in the medicine and bowl prepared for refreshments.

It was because I ate one earlier.

‘… Could it be that since you ate this, it’s not a mean thing to ask for help?’

I wanted to believe that it wasn’t, so I had nothing more to say when I saw Maehwa-seon, who kept avoiding her gaze as if she was strangely embarrassed.

It felt like the slightest remaining illusion about Maehwaseon that I had in my heart was being shattered.

Realizing that, I told Mae Hwa-seon.

“Jangmunin… .”

“… yes.”

“I think I know why Jang Moon-in is close with our Elder Lee… .”

“… Great.”

As he mentioned Elder Lee, Mae Hwa-seon turned his head.

It seemed that he was ashamed of himself.
