< Episode 65 Ignoring the Demonstration Department (3) >
The name of the young man with the slitted eyes and hooked nose is Wibucheong.
He was a member of the faction of King Gyeongchin the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor and a candidate whose selection to the Geumui Commission was confirmed.
He is a descendant of Dochalwon (都察院) Jeong 3rd rank Jwabu Doorsa and is one of the nine leaders of the Salyeonmaeng (邪連盟) which can be said to be the three major powers of Wulin. was taught.
As he was the only one who had mastered the martial arts of the Sa-Ryeon Maeng a branch of the Sado branch rather than the martial arts he stood out among his cadets.
Of course he didn’t mind this either.
He said that he would go to a higher place anyway and that they would become losers in life.
Meanwhile Wibucheong met people of interest for the first time.
Those were the later exponents of the Heaven and Earth Meeting.
‘Are they the Heaven and Earth Association?’
Cheonjihoe one of the three major powers of the martial arts group was an organization that advocated neutrality rather than political affairs and pursued martial arts based on the might of the jungle.
However in reality they were treated as Safa.
Maybe that’s why they felt familiar to Wibucheong who had been influenced by the Four Leagues League.
It was better than those who talked about justice and all but said hypocrisy that didn’t work.
Wi Bucheng snorted and said to Mo Kyung-un.
“under! It’s famous. “A guy who hadn’t even learned internal skills properly suddenly jumped from a lower level class to an upper level class in five days.”
“You’re saying you haven’t learned internal skills properly?”
“They said that child’s constitution prevents him from learning internal skills. It was just trash. But that guy suddenly skipped a grade ahead of the selection process for the Gold Medical Council. “Don’t you get a feeling when you hear this?”
“You mean it smells bad?”
Wei Bucheng grinned and said at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
“Perhaps because we are from the Daecheonjihoe we have something in common. “I am Wibucheong.”
Wi Bucheng extended his hand to Mo Gyeong-un.
A strange look appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
‘ah. Did you say that this person was also a member of King Gyeongchin’s faction?’
According to the information it would be so.
Among the two disciples of the Jongnam faction Geum Jong-hyeon and Wei Bu-cheong there will be a candidate whose selection to the Geumui Committee has been confirmed.
Of course I wasn’t really curious about which of them was the nominee.
And there was no interest in the Wibucheong itself.
However there was no need to make things awkward here so Mok Kyung-un held his hand and smiled.
“It’s Mok Gyeong-un.”
“Tillage? “It’s a rare idyllic castle.”
“They say so.”
‘You sound like you’re talking about someone else.’
It was strange but it wasn’t surprising so the Wibucheong didn’t show much.
Above all Bu Cheong-eun took this opportunity to build relationships with the later exponents of the Cheonjihoe who he considered to be of a similar faction although their factions were different.
However unlike him Mok Gyeong-un’s attention was directed towards the person he was offending.
“Do you know what the author’s name is?”
At this Wei Bucheng raised one eyebrow and said.
“What are you going to do knowing the name of such a scum?”
I don’t understand.
King Gyeongchin who leads the faction was already quite interested in that guy.
It was quite annoying because of that but why are the people I want to be with showing interest in that guy and not me?
“I guess you don’t know?”
“There’s no way you wouldn’t know right? “Why do you even care about such a scum?”
“I thought you were a kind person but it seems you are a jealous person?”
“what?”
Wei Bucheng frowned at those words.
Then he spoke to Mok Gyeong-un as if he was displeased.
“What are you talking about? Why am I jealous of that bastard? “There’s no need to get to know a guy like that.”
“I also skipped a grade today.”
Wei Bucheng was taken aback by Mo Kyung-un’s words and said
“You and that guy are different. “You are from the Cheonjihoe one of the three major martial powers and that guy…”
“What does it matter? I also skipped a grade in one day. “I don’t think I’m any different from that friend.”
“No what the hell…”
“Don’t I have a foul bug-like smell?”
“….”
Wei Bucheng closed his mouth tightly.
Since he was from Cheonjihoe I thought he wanted to build a relationship but now he has changed his mind.
This guy didn’t suit me at all.
Somehow I once again understood why the Four Leagues Alliance had never formed an alliance with the Cheonjihoe which was a member of the same faction.
‘Damn it.’
Wei Bucheng glared at Mo Gyeong-un as if he were annoyed and then quickly walked away.
-You’re like a moth.
Cheongnyeong said snorting at her.
Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders.
-well.
It didn’t seem to be a personality issue at all.
He asked me to tell him who it was and seeing him show such hostility to me it seemed like he didn’t just hate me for skipping a grade.
‘I wonder why.’
He probably doesn’t have similar reasons as himself.
Mok Gyeong-un who was staring at him while he was doing push-ups while standing on his head immediately opened the power of the three eyes of his right eye.
The purpose was to find out what was strangely disturbing about the author.
however
‘!?’
Mok Gyeong-un tilted his head.
As expected he really had no inner strength.
It wasn’t something that was specifically stored away or hidden through special laws or prohibitions.
This was a truly unexpected result.
-Why are you doing this? rebirth.
-I don’t think I really learned the inner skills.
-Did you mean internal skills? So does that mean he only learned external skills?
-…At first glance I don’t understand why he’s in the advanced cadet class.
The advanced class can only have first-class experts or higher.
However it is almost impossible to deal with a top-class expert with only external attacks.
The young man spoke casually.
-Like that sentient being said earlier it might be possible if there is someone behind the scenes who works hard. After all the imperial palace is a political playground.
-hmm.
-If there is nothing don’t worry. After all the goal is not to intervene in their factional fight.
-That’s right.
Mo Qingyun soon canceled the magic power of the Three Eyes.
If he really hadn’t learned the inner skills there was no need to worry about it as Cheongryeong said.
However I don’t know why I feel something is bothersome about that person.
The original source of life the source of life seemed a little larger than that of ordinary people but that was all.
* * *
So the next day arrived when the demonstration ceremony was held.
Advanced class cadets were waiting at the training site with nervous faces.
At that time a group of people came to the training ground.
Everyone’s eyes turned forward.
Wearing red and blue beer uniforms and gold belts they were members of the Gold Safety Committee the supervisors in charge of ignoring the demonstration.
“Wow.”
Some cadets who were looking ahead let out an exclamation.
That was because Geumuiwi who was in the lead and wearing a red beer uniform was a truly peerless beauty.
However unlike these cadets Mok Kyung-un had a puzzled expression on his face.
‘Hmm.’
I heard what the golden belt on the red beer uniform meant.
It was Yuk Cheon-ho who could be said to be the head of the Yukseonbu among the Geumuiwi Committee in charge of practical work.
Excluding the Southern Jin Musa and Northern Jin Musa who are said to be the pinnacle of Jinuiwi I heard that among the practitioners those with the most outstanding martial arts skills are the Six Six Heavenly Lords.
Among them two of them were on the stage.
However the male Yuk Cheon-ho had reached the level of fully mature transcendence which was exactly what was expected but the energy felt from the beautiful woman Yuk Cheon-ho was only at the peak level.
If he was hiding his energy it didn’t seem like that.
‘what?’
Mok Gyeong-un stared at her then turned her gaze back to the man who had been concentrating on her training yesterday doing her handstands and push-ups.
-Why are you doing that?
-…no. Maybe it’s just an illusion.
Mok Kyung-yun shrugged his shoulders.
Then Yuk Cheon-ho the man on the podium stepped forward and opened his mouth.
“All cadets be quiet.”
The room instantly became quiet due to the loud powerful voice.
Looks of surprise are evident here and there.
Everyone knew that the inaction of the six thousand warriors of the Jinuiui had reached the pinnacle but it seemed astounding to experience directly the inner power of these six thousand warriors.
“amazing.”
“This is Six Thousand Issues.”
It was an object of envy for those aiming for the Gold Medal.
The man Yuk Cheon-ho seemed to have felt the gaze of these people shrugged his shoulders with a satisfied expression and then opened his mouth again.
“The main office is Chae Ho-seong the supervisor Yuk Cheon-ho who was in charge of the selection process for the Geumui Commission….”
“This is So Yerin of the Six Heavenly Lake.”
The cadets cheered at the subsequent introduction of the female Yukcheonho.
Chae Ho-seong shook her head at this sight.
As expected there was no way to surpass the popularity of this beautiful Hongil branch.
“Quiet!”
The hall became quiet again after Chae Ho-seong’s words.
Then he continued speaking again.
“You may have heard from the head of the demonstration department training center but by ignoring the demonstration department the secondary candidates for selection to the Geumui Committee will be selected.”
Of course everyone knew this until now.
The main point was right after.
“Then from now on we will take the first selection process a test to measure your endurance. “Here all those who do not reach the first-class internal strength level which is the minimum standard of the Geumwiwi will be eliminated.”
‘A resistance test?’
As the selection process began immediately the venue quickly became chaotic.
* * *
The warriors of the demonstration department were busy moving around and preparing to measure the internal strength.
Meanwhile Chae Ho-seong of the Six Thousand Troops came down from the stage and looked at the six people in blue beer suits.
These were deputy supervisors drawn from the six departments of the Geumuiui Commission.
The symbol of the blue beer suit is the protection of heaven.
And the number of silver threads engraved on their right arm indicates which Buddha they belong to.
The ranks of the Geumui Committee in charge of practical work are as follows.
Jeong 7th rank Gungun Jong 6th rank Sibaekho Jeong 6th rank Baekho Jong 5th rank Bucheonho Jeong 5th rank Cheonho Jong 4th rank Yukcheonho Jeong 4th rank Jinmusa.
Above that there are commanders commanding comrades and commanding officers who control all of the Geumui Committee.
Since the command line actually plays the role of handing down orders the real power could be seen as belonging to Jinmusa which is why the pinnacle of the Geumuiwi is called Jinmusa.
These heavenly guards are assigned to the six ministries of the Yukseongwan in groups of at least two and at most four.
Therefore it could be said that second-in-commands from each ministry came.
Through this test the aptitude for each department was determined and the number of personnel was determined so the Cheonhos had to carefully examine the trainees.
“How is it? “Are there students you like in each department?”
The guardians of each ministry had already obtained the personal information of senior cadets.
In response to Chae Ho-seong’s question Hwa Yeong-in the guardian of the inner palace who is in charge of the safety of the royal family and the royal family (the empress and other royal guests) sighed lightly and said
“In any case the front line department did not look into it in detail because they had no choice in ignoring the Financial Services Commission.”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
Six Thousand Tigers Chae Ho-seong cut off his words appropriately.
This was because he had many eyes and ears.
As Hwa Young-in the champion of the frontline department said it was difficult to bring in truly useful people in the Geumuiwi Committee because they were assigned to the frontline department as appointees.
However if this is said openly it will be heard by those appointed to office.
“How is Seonbu Lee?”
“When I looked at the list I found a friend named Geum Jong-hyun to be the most interesting.”
“Hoo. Geum Jong-hyun.”
Other heavenly kings also showed interest in the words of Siwooryang the heavenly king of Seonbu Lee.
They too were interested in a car with an unusual history.
The appointees say there is nothing they can do about it but it is not only that the son of a 5th rank Shiganghaksa of the Academy of Sciences a member of a literary family became a disciple of the Jongnam faction but his grades are good enough to be in the top five among the students.
“Same as us. Isn’t it? Oh Cheonho.”
“That’s right. “Yukcheonho.”
Chae Ho-seong the Six Heavenly Commander agreed with the words of the Three Heavenly Commander Oh Mu-gi.
They too were keeping an eye on Geum Jong-hyun.
He was excellent at martial arts had good grades and because he came from a civilized family he was probably brilliant so he was a talent worthy of being coveted by the Samseonbu the intelligence department.
“The third-elected department received the senior position last time so please make some concessions this time.”
“Hahahahaha.”
Chae Ho-seong laughed heartily at Siwoo-ryang’s words.
And he flatly refused.
“I don’t like it.”
“That’s too much.”
“Then get promoted quickly.”
“Hmm.”
In any case all heads of the Yukseongwan gather together to decide on those who ultimately pass the Geumwiwi Mushi examination.
So there was no point in talking about it like this now.
Chae Ho-seong the Six Heavenly Commander who enjoyed teasing Siwooryang the Heavenly Commander this time asked Mak Myeong-bo the Heavenly Commander of the Four Masters.
“What about the firing squad?”
“In our private division Namgung Cheonghyeon of the Namgung family stands out. “Due to the nature of our firing squad which is in charge of Geumok it would be good if someone with the best martial arts skills would join.”
“indeed. “I see.”
Everyone thought that Nangong Qingxian’s name would be mentioned at least once.
He is one of the seven major martial artists of the martial arts world and the grandson of Namgung Jin the martial sword of Changcheon.
From the time he came in he was at the beginning of his peak and with his swordsmanship skills alone he was able to overwhelm all of the cadets.
This was acknowledged by all the heavenly rulers of Yukseongwan.
“well.”
Then someone said.
Everyone’s eyes turned to him.
He was the man with the darkest expression among the six Heavenly Tigers.
The leader of this Geum who had numerous scars on his face was Mac Ha-gyun the Cheonho of the Oseonbu who was said to be in charge of the most secret matters.
“What does that mean?”
“The most outstanding people in this race may be the later exponents of the Heaven and Earth Council. In particular it was difficult for cadets Nie Chun and Meng Wuyak to even guess their inaction.”
“…ah!”
To these words Mak Myeong-bo the guardian of the Four Masters did not deny.
He too had belatedly reported that later exponents of the Cheonjihoe were participating so as soon as he entered the training ground he watched them closely.
And the result was a masterpiece.
As the Cheonho Mac Ha-gyun of the Oseonbu said it was difficult for even the Cheonho of the Geumwiwi himself to guess the inaction of those named Seopchun and Mong Mu-yak.
This was not at a level that could be specified by the late-stage index.
“It seemed like they sent it with purpose.”
Indeed it was the Cheonjihoe that pursued the most essential martial arts among the three major martial powers.
I didn’t know that this neglect could lead to completely unexpected results.
“From what I can see even someone named Yeom-gyeong looks quite formidable.”
At that time Taehoin the Cheonho of the Yukseonbu intervened.
The others chuckled at his words.
Because he was a disciple of the lay school of the Hwasan school he highly regarded Yeomgyeong who was a formal disciple of his ascetic monk.
Of course there are some who take sides but a cadet named Yeom-gyeong was also a brilliant student with grades ranked in the top five.
While preparations were being made to conduct the internal measurement Chae Ho-seong the Six Heavenly Commander who had listened to the opinions of all the Heavenly Lords of each department of the Six Heavenly Halls now tried to organize things.
“now. I listened carefully to the opinions of each Heavenly Emperor. Now if we measure our internal strength we will find out who is superior among them.”
“I guess so. This is how it ended up Yuk Cheon-ho. “How about we make a bet?”
“bet?”
“How about a bet for a company dinner?”
Chae Ho-seong the Six Heavenly Commander showed interest in the words of Lee Seon-bu’s Cheonho Siwooryang.
Even so after work ended today the supervisors were planning to gather together and have a light dinner.
Chae Ho-seong the Six Heavenly Tiger looked at each of the Heavenly Tigers.
“I agree.”
“Me too.”
“Please do so.”
Everyone seemed to be in agreement and Chae Ho-seong the six-thousand-year-old said with a grin.
“If everyone is focused on one person the bet won’t work and it won’t be fun so if two or more cadets gather together you can choose another cadet.”
“All right.”
In this way a bet was made regarding the cadets’ performance measurements.
I bet each cadet found it just as interesting as when I first asked their opinion.
The only one who did not express an opinion was So Ye-rin the Sixth Heavenly Tiger who showed no interest as if she had no interest in this bet.
He was so expressionless that it was difficult to know what he was thinking.
Chae Ho-seong the same Yuk Cheon-ho said this.
“Isn’t it true that we also decided on the six thousandth number of cows? “It’s just a company dinner.”
She looked at Ho-seong and Cheon-ho without saying a word and carefully parted her lips.
“Hasn’t our Heavenly Guardian Taehoin already decided on Yeomgyeong?”
“huh? “Does that mean that there was someone who thought differently about the So Six Thousand Lakes?”
“….”
Saying nothing was closer to an affirmation.
Everyone was curious about this.
“Who are you?”
“As expected is it Nie Chun or Dream Muyak from the Heaven and Earth Council?”
“Or Nangong Qingxian?”
Perhaps feeling burdened by the questions asked by the Heavenly Tigers So Yerin the Six Heavenly Tiger silently took a step back.
Yuk Cheon-ho Chae Ho-seong said he was frustrated with this.
“Anyway it’s not a bet by department it’s a bet by each individual so let’s talk about it.”
Then she quietly opened her cherry-like lips.
“…I’m Zhou Yunxiang.”
‘!?’
Everyone was dumbfounded by her words.
This was because a cadet that no one expected was mentioned.
That was so absurd to her that even Cheonho Hwayoungin of the front line department who showed no particular interest in betting after her looked puzzled and asked.
“So Yukcheonho. “Aren’t you confused with Joo Sang-jae the second son of Seungsin Preceptor?”
“Oh I guess so. Well then. “That cadet also has high grades.”
“So are you betting on Joo Sang-jae?”
Hearing these words Yukcheonho So Yerin shook her head and said.
“It is Zhou Yun-hyang the third son of Seungshin Gyowi.”
“Ha… this is right.”
“Aren’t you just betting for fun?”
“So Yerin Six Thousand Ho that girl became an official disciple of the Gongong Sect not long ago but she has never been able to learn internal skills.”
“I think you’re doing this on purpose to buy a place for a company dinner.”
Not everyone was convinced by her opinion.
Nevertheless she tenaciously insisted on becoming a cadet Zhou Yunxiang.
She had her own reasons for choosing him.
However there was one more person who had a strange problem with this choice.
She turned her head and looked at the off-white cadet who was staring at her among the sobbing cadets.
She said ‘Did you say neck tillage?’
Even though he was from Cheonjihoe he was the only one who did not receive any attention.
The reason was simple.
This was because he was particularly incompetent compared to the other two.
But in her eyes this felt like a disconnect.
‘…It’s strange.’
Why do I feel a sense of ferocity and intimidation in that smiling face?
