Episode 58. What billiards and stars have in common
‘But it’s still pretty good. In the past, when my attack was successful and the animal was even slightly injured, it would cry and run wild and tell its mother, causing an uproar.’
Geum Na-ryeon, Jong Ri-mae’s mother and Jong Ri-hyuk’s stepmother, harassed her son by punishing him by starving him or locking him in a warehouse whenever he got hurt.
However, the more he rebelled, the more Jong Li-hyuk trained harder and narrowed the gap in martial arts skills.
Fortunately, Zhong Limei was too lazy.
Meanwhile, Jong Li-hyuk was sent to the Qingcheng faction.
It may have been Geum Na-ryeon’s plan to oust him, but it was undoubtedly an opportunity for him.
And he had no intention of missing that opportunity.
Jong Ri-hyuk erased his identity one by one. He did not hesitate to do all kinds of dirty work in order to mix with the purebloods of the Blue Star faction.
But…
as it happens, Zhongli-mae, the most damned and hideously unpleasant person in the family, has come into the Qingcheng sect as an uninvited guest.
Jong Li-hyuk suddenly felt angry.
He swung his hand even more fiercely.
Then, Han Yi-bi became the subject of Jong Li-hyeok’s threshing with an even higher probability.
Han Ibi thought in such pain.
‘Damn it… The desire to start the Great Hongmong Law rises up to my throat. No, there’s no need to go that far… If I could just occasionally mix in the Cheongseong faction’s Maehojang and apply it irregularly, I wouldn’t be beaten as easily as I am now.’
However…
in a situation where the two disciples of the Qingcheng sect were wide awake, it was impossible to carelessly use the martial arts of the opposing sect.
Note… and refer to… and again…
Puck!
‘Ahh! ‘It hurts so much!’
But there was also a lot to learn.
By hitting Jong Ri-hyuk’s martial arts with my body, I gained a lot of insight into how to efficiently use Chosik with similar levels.
‘It’s the same whether it’s Jong-ri Myeongjeong’s sword method or Cheongseong’s sword method. ‘It is only soft transformation, application, and combination that escapes the rigidity of herbivory that allows it to exert overwhelming power even in situations of similar force.’
At that time, Jong Ri-hyuk spoke.
“It’s meaningless anymore. “Let’s stop now.”
Then Han Ibi shouted loudly.
“What is meaningless? I was beaten like this. “Do more.”
At that time, Han Yi-bi found a loophole in Jong Ri-hyuk’s herbivorous diet.
It seemed like a loophole was revealed while talking about quitting.
Han Ibi was delighted and sharply stabbed the wooden sword towards his solar plexus.
‘I can’t breathe and I’m sneezing. Try being embarrassed in front of a woman once. Hehehe.’
It was then.
Jong Li-hyuk’s wooden sword, which seemed to have been folded backwards, suddenly flew over his shoulder in a semicircle.
It was like a rainbow drawn in the shape of a sword…
And Han Ibi realized that she had been deceived.
This is a very common attack method called ‘Heocho’.
Sigh!
A sound louder than ever echoed throughout the ascetic hall.
Han Yi-bi was struck by Jong Ri-hyuk’s wooden sword in the center of her head.
“You bird…”
Cursing welled up in my throat, but I couldn’t spit it out.
This is because I lost consciousness in an instant.
* * *
Han Ibi felt her mind slowly coming to her senses.
I was thirsty.
And then a huge headache comes on in an instant!
Han Ibi almost screamed without realizing it.
A familiar voice was heard at that time.
It was Seo Ui-jae.
Han Ibi decided that it would be better not to open her eyes for now.
“How is your condition?”
It seems like there is someone next to me.
“It was not a fatal injury. “It’s just a minor injury, but I think I’ll need some medical care for a while.”
Judging by the way he speaks, it seems like the congressman is probably an unreasonable person.
Although the Cheongseong faction did not have a resident councilor, there was a councilor who was often called upon in times of emergency.
So, it could be said to be a kind of partnership.
At that time, Seo Eui-jae said.
“Hyuk never gets excited when we dance, and he never causes serious injury to the other person… but this is really strange. “I’ll have to meet you after this.”
the congressman said.
“They said it was a normal dance. “There were witnesses.”
“A witness?”
“That’s right. What was his name… But there’s no need to ask the witness. Elder, have you never heard of the infamous ‘Zhongli Murei’? This guy must have attacked someone. He was envious of his older brother’s position in the Cheongseong faction. “It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.”
Seo Eui-jae said while tilting his head.
“But rumors tend to be exaggerated… and from what I experienced first-hand, this young man was not so blind.”
“The worse he is, the better he is at hiding himself. “It would be good for you, Elder, to be careful.”
Han Ibi was so angry that she immediately opened her eyes and wanted to grab the congressman by the collar and shake him.
What do you know?
But that can’t be possible.
Han Ibi managed her breathing and stayed in the same position so as not to notice that she had woken up.
Seo Eui-jae said.
“I will always pay heed to what you said. Anyway, there was a message from the Murim League… so I was watching closely.”
The congressman said while looking towards Han Ibi.
“That’s right. It is Kang Ho-in’s duty to always be careful. Maybe that friend is like that too. “Even in a fainting state, he is rolling his eyes here and there under his eyelids, observing the general trend.”
Haha… I knew…
Han Ibi couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyes with an awkward smile.
* * *
‘Still, I think I’ve become as close to rat droppings… no, as close to fingernails… maybe as close to snot.’
Han Ibi was thinking that way.
Even though he was beaten to dust on a rainy day, his relationship with Jong Ri-hyuk has improved that much.
However, it was difficult to attract Jong Ri-hyuk to the Cheongseong Long Speech Selection Contest at this level.
‘Hmm… did I think wrong? I guess I should have used the top-down method rather than the bottom-up method…’
While he was masturbating to himself, he thought that it was time to develop strategy 2-2.
Strategy 2-2 is ‘Convert Bok Yeon-hwa’s mind to get Jong Ri-hyeok to participate.’
Even though I failed to change Jong Ri-hyeok’s heart, I thought that it would not be impossible if the relationship was improved to the extent of an eye-catching effect, so I thought it would not be impossible if I returned to Yeon-hwa.
So Han Ibi made a plan to attack Bokyeonhwa.
But….
she was so focused on the Cheongseong Long Speech Contest that I couldn’t meet her at all.
As an elder, you have to prepare for a selection competition and perform well in the competition, but your only disciple is poisoned by unknown evildoers… It must be stressful
.
‘But it wouldn’t be Han Ibi if she gave up like this.’
Even though I wasn’t really ‘obsessed’ with work at work, so I ended up doing it haphazardly and got to this point…
It’s something I really like.
So, hasn’t he reached the ‘level of mastery’ when it comes to billiards stars, including ‘Pump’?
And all while attending college!
These are all areas that cannot be achieved without investing enough time and perseverance.
With such tenacity, Han Ibi went to Bok Yeon-hwa every day and asked if she needed any help.
Then finally,
“Then come to my dorm early tomorrow.”
wow.
Finally, I received permission to repeat it. She was the first to surrender.
So Eun-ri’s inconvenience must have reached a peak as she was unable to handle chores due to her poor health.
So, Han Ibi took care of the errands Bok Yeon Hwa told her to do for a while.
There were so many different types of errands.
There were times when I had to go to town and buy the items I wanted, times when I had to copy something, and sometimes when I had to deliver documents or goods.
As these days progressed, a time came when Bok Yeon-hwa became insensitive to Han I-bi’s presence.
Naturalness is only possible when you sell it like this. It doesn’t happen overnight.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Hahaha. It’s a job I hated so much about sales and sales, but there are times when I put it to good use. Catching and providing what the other person wants first. That’s what a salesman and a salesperson have in common.’
As the long essay contest approached in a day or two, work became even busier.
Each time, Han Ibi gritted her teeth even more and carried out her duties as a quasi-secretary more thoroughly.
There was literally nothing in return…
but this was the result of a fierce struggle to normalize the story.
He lived really hard every day like a soldier waiting to be discharged.
As a result, strange(?) speculations sometimes appeared about the relationship between Bok Yeon-hwa and Han I-bi.
In fact, they were originally relatives, and Han Yi-bi liked So Eun-ri to death…
Sometimes it was annoying, but I ignored it anyway, thinking that the important thing was to return home.
Then one day it happened.
Han Ibi was helping to organize Bok Yeon Hwa’s personal library.
Although it was not that big, it was filled with basic martial arts books and information related to martial arts that Yeonhwa Bok had diligently collected.
Today’s mission is to find an old book that cannot be found no matter how hard you search.
Originally, the two of them had been going through the library together since morning.
However, one of Cheongseong’s disciples came to visit Bok Yeon-hwa.
It was a story about an emergency meeting of elders being convened due to a call from Jang Moon-in.
Yeonhwa Bok said.
“I’ll come back quickly, so you can keep looking for the book.”
“yes. Elder. “I will search more thoroughly, so don’t worry and go.”
Bok Yeon-hwa left the dormitory with the disciple who had come to call her.
“Hwiyu-.”
Han Ibi sighed and stretched.
‘Do you have to be that strict to be liked by men? As expected, Master’s tastes are unique, haha.’
She was truly the epitome of a fierce woman, so I felt like she would have been exhausted if I had had her as my boss.
She said that what she was looking for was ‘Guimunjong (歸門終)’, a book that compiled the civil service examinations of martial arts masters.
He was wandering around looking for the book, thinking that it was absolutely not suitable for the painting of the Lotus.
Of course, showing it on the outside is prohibited.
They say that you have to find and use the first pitch you want in the competition…
In this way, an event, no matter how big or small, is completely steeped in the blood and sweat of the people who prepare it.
Even the smallest details, ‘one by one’.
‘Anyway, it’s not my part. All I have to do is find a book.’
However, as I was just looking through the shelves, I had a slightly different thought.
‘Baekpalgiyeon and Gwangnyeo have been a bit quiet these days. It’s about time to start ringing… Hmm. Could it be that now is that time? The atmosphere is just right. I accidentally open a book and my crazy girl reacts to it. Tiring. 100% information has been captured! Like this.’
Of course, it is difficult to intentionally invest time. There is no guarantee that it will work.
But Han Ibi has to find the book anyway.
So, it would be a good idea to try harder to touch and open all kinds of books.
At that time, a thought suddenly crossed Hanibi’s mind.
‘haha. From my experience in sales, when something like this happens, it appears in an unexpected book. It’s dusty because no one has touched it, or it looks like there’s no interest…’
And with that, Han Ibi glared at the spine where the bookshelves were lined up with eagle eyes.
‘Activate Nganjutsu!’
Tiring!
[Nanganjutsu has been activated.]
Nice to meet you, madwoman!
[Warning: The target of Nganjutsu does not exist.]
Huh? It looks like he’s doing this because something isn’t moving.
But trust me! Ngansul start!
The entire bookshelf began to turn into a green screen.
There was some concern that visibility would be lower than when it was in full color, but the
clear contrast of the green color made it possible to identify the titles on the shelves more clearly.
‘Things that look ordinary! Look for things that seem useless first.
