One year later—

On this day, there was a graduation ceremony for the third year students of the academy.

A deserted place not far from the auditorium where the graduation was being held—

Ma Yeon-hwa had a pretty red uniform and looked at Mumu with a tense face. Mumu smiled as he said,

“Senior. Congratulations on graduating.”

Ma Yeon-hwa, the third year member who was ranked third all of last year, with the position of second being taken by Kang Mui, and an endless effort put in, she eventually completed the academy with her best in third.

She hesitated to speak to Mumu.

“You too, congratulations, on becoming a Supreme Warrior.”

A “Supreme Warrior.”

Right.

Mumu completed the basic course as of last year and served as a special warrior after that. This was a desperate measure on the part of the academy to hold onto Mumu.

The position of Supreme Warrior previously known as Heavenly Teaching Staff had been changed.

And such a title was given to Mumu.

“There is nothing special when staying in the academy.”

Mumu mumbled, scratching his head. Seeing him like that, she smiled.

He was saying that this wasn’t much, but Mumu was already being called as the best in Murim.

And it was absurd for him to still be a student. Even after taking classes for a year, he was still helping out other students.

“But what did senior want to say?”

At the question of Mumu, Ma Yeon-hwa’s face slightly changed.

Now that she had to leave the academy, she saw this as her only chance.

‘Foxes.’

For a year, she made numerous efforts to seduce Mumu, but she failed due to the many competitors she had. Besides, unlike the other men, Mumu didn’t seem that interested in women.

It was like an impenetrable wall as he continued to train his muscles as if they were his true soulmate.

That was why she failed every time, but today the graduation was her last chance.

She spoke in a nervous voice,

“You see…”

At the same time, there were people hiding and watching them.

It was Tang So-so and Guyang Seorin.

These girls who were in their third year now, were the foxes who didn’t let Ma Yeon-hwa approach him.

They were now hiding and watching because they were interested in what was happening.

“Hear it?”

Guyang Seorin clicked her tongue at the question of Tang So-so.

“I don’t. I heard that you had hit the super master level but that unnie is truly a monster.”

It seemed to block out the sounds around her, and as they got a little closer their presence would be felt so they endured it from this distance.

“…Is she trying to seduce him thinking this is her last chance? Tch. Such a shameful way.”

“Right. Because you didn’t let her.”

“What?”

At Guyang Seorin’s words, Tang So-so’s face turned red and she asked loudly, to which she was hissed at to be quiet.

Tang So-so whispered,

“I-I can seduce him if I make up my mind.”

“Puah. What, seduce him with that body?”

“You want to see the end today?”

Flinch!

Guyang Seorin flinched at the words of Tang So-so.

Actually, they did bump into each other fighting for Mumu and at that time Tang So-so showed off hidden techniques which had defeated her.

Despite being strong, Tang So-so never stopped training and continued to work hard to overcome the wall of Full Body Poison form.

That is why she still wanted to avoid any rematch with her.

“Should we try it?”

“Try what? Ha!”

At Tang So-so’s question, Guyang Seorin fanned herself like she was hot.

This was a matter of pride, and right then—

“Uh?”

“What is that? Seems like an answer…”

“There.”

At the words of Guyang Seorin, Tang So-so turned. There, Ma Yeon-hwa was flushed red but with a bitter face.

On the way to packing up.

A young man approached Ma Yeon-hwa who was leaving, and asked,

“What happened?”

“I was rejected.”

“… Ahh.”

The man sighed. For a year he knew that she wanted to be with Mumu, and so he wanted her to win.

But things didn’t seem to go well.

“It cannot be helped. Because he has such a heart.”

She was the one he wanted Mumu to be with.

It was her last chance to revive her lost sect. But contrary to her wishes, she was rejected.

“…”

The young man looked at her feeling sad. It was strange, sad to see her not being able to fulfill her wishes, but he was happy too.

‘I am selfish.’

He was a man and he couldn’t help it. The young man who was looking at her, spoke in a soothing voice.

“Do not be too discouraged by this. I will stand by your side.”

“… Thanks. Baek Wol.”

“When you leave the academy, I will play a song to calm you down.”

There was a song she loved and he was going to play it.

Ma Yeon-hwa looked at the man and smiled.

“I am glad you are here.”

Saying that, she patted him on the arm.

“But now that we finally got our hands on what we needed, we need to push ahead to building our sect.”

Jeon Hyeon Da Luo Arts—

A hidden martial art kept in the 3rd underground floor of the library.

The true purpose of her coming here was for that, and with that being recovered, she had the opportunity to revive the sect again.

“I am sure we will do it.”

“Right. We should re-establish the sect and avenge the blood spilled.”

She wanted to make the Forces of Justice pay for what happened. Determined, she looked at Baek Wol.

“If we start again, do we change the name of the sect?”

“The name of our sect?”

“Yes, Sacred Sect seems too soft. No , it actually looks weak.”

“Then do you have any names in mind?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be nice to have a strong name? Blood in the sense of making it spill or making others pay the price of the spilled blood…”

Kwang!

‘!?’

Before their discussion was over, the wall of one side of the training hall which was to the right of the dorms was broken.

Swish!

Steam flowed from his body. It was a muscular boy with bronze skin.

Seeing that, Ma Yeon-hwa’s eyes shone.

He had a form similar to what she knew.

“Ah… I am sorry. I couldn’t control my strength when training. You didn’t get hurt… right?!”

The boy apologized and looked at Ma Yeon-hwa.

The boy was fascinated with her beautiful form, and to this she smiled,

“What is your relationship with Mumu?”

“Uh? You know my cousin?”

Cousin? Then this guy was the cousin of Mumu who was joining the academy now?

Ma Yeon-hwa looked at his body, and he really did resemble Mumu.

“Is there anyone in the academy who doesn’t know your cousin?”

At that, the boy scratched his head.

“Right.”

“You name?”

“Hae Muah.”

‘Hae Muah…’

Ma Yeon-hwa mumbled it in her mind. It seemed like she had to remember this, and she asked the boy who couldn’t take his eyes off her,

“Did you learn that from Mumu?”

“Ahh! This one? You can say I did. However, it is not as good as my hyung, hyung can do it with just his muscles, but I have to use internal energy to control it. Should I say that it is a weird way of developing it on my own?”

“What? You developed this on your own?”

Then this could be considered as pretty shocking talent too. A guy just 17 years old was experimenting on things to make them better for himself.

Hae Muah smiled.

“Yes. I named it, True Blood Diamond Body, doesn’t it sound nice?”

She just stared at the boy for a while and then smiled,

“It is cool.”

“R—right?”

“You said Hae Muah?”

“Yes!”

“If you want to expand your scope of martial arts after finishing the academy, come visit me.”

‘Ahhhh!’

At her suggestion, his eyes shone.

Was this the unavoidable fate which the ‘Murim Journal of the Lonely Genius of Murim Alliance’ which he was given from Mumu was talking about?

His heart pounded.

Eight years after that.

. . .

At the front of a manor—

A tall handsome man was restlessly walking in the yard.

It was Mumu.

Two beautiful women were looking at him.

It was Guyang Seorin and Tang So-so.

“Miss. You must be worried about unnie right.”

“Since she is a bit old there could be a problem with her hearing and maybe danger to the ones around.”

“Well. It is. It is amazing still. There is no order, but when we see it that way, why did Dan Baek-yeon, no, Seol Yeon unnie have to have the first child.”

Dan Baek-yeon, no Seol Yeon—

That was her true name.

She was originally from the North Sea Palace and they gave the name of Dan Baek to those who inherited the position of the palace lord and Seol to the women.

As she was a survivor, she used Dan Baek to make herself strong and went back to rebuilding the palace.

“The ancestors of the palace helped a lot. To rebuild the ice palace.”

Guyang Seorin fanned her face, and Tang So-so nodded at the words.

On the other hand, looking at Mumu anxiously, they thought about when it would be time for them to give birth.

At that time, will he be as nervous as now?

Maybe they need to have a kid to know.

‘Hmhm, I will try.’

Jrrr

Just imagining it made it feel better, Guyang Seorin clicked her tongue, looking at Tang So-so.

‘… What did she think for her to bleed from her nose?’

Her nosebleeds didn’t stop. And it was then—

-Uah! Uah!

—came the cry of a child from the room where the midwife and physician went.

Soon, their mother-in-law, Hae Ha-rang, came out and Mumu moved to her.

“What happened?”

To which she smiled and said,

“Yeon is safe and our pretty granddaughter is safe too. Congratulations son.”

‘!!!!!!’

A smile spread across the faces of those who were waiting. This was good news.

The birth of a life.

One more to the family.

‘Kid, nice to meet you.’

Mumu’s bright smile was full of happiness.
