Chapter 121 – The Blood Witch (6)
After the lockdown order ended.
As if trying to make up for a lacking part, the class curriculum ran quickly. He had never met Beatrice separately after that and had a related conversation. The student council was so busy with the soon-to-be presidential election that we had to greet each other while running into each other.
There was no time to have a serious talk. I also needed to check the overall martial arts once. Nothing special happened. At least, I thanked Professor Chungha, but when did I get a request to visit the volcano?
So, the weekend is here again.
Unlike before, my schedule was obvious. Bachelor during the week, Protestant on the weekend. It is a daily life that goes almost like a hamster wheel.
“Welcome. Lord.”
Upon arriving at the Shinkyo branch, Eun-chae Ryu and Eun-joo Hong, the lord of the Red Dragon, greeted her politely.
“Is there anything special?”
I asked Ryu Eun-chae as I went straight to the Jeokryongdae training location. She silently nodded her head.
“Yes. Since then, there are a lot of groups that notice, so it’s quiet. There are no people who want to incur the wrath of the Protestant Church, and as for the political faction, it seems that the Murim lord did a pretty good job cracking down on the house.”
“Because our president is pretty scary when he gets angry. The political faction won’t be doing anything big for the time being either.”
“Yes, I’ve only heard of the prestige of the telegraph. It was huge. Powerlessness to the point of being impossible to analyze… I wasn’t comparing myself to you for nothing.”
Unfortunately, his physical condition was not enough to fully project that power. This wasn’t something to talk about casually.
Whee ae ae ae-!
As I approached the Jeokryongdae gymnasium following Ryu Eun-chae’s footsteps, a strong wave-like sound resounded in succession. In the vast gymnasium, there was a woman brandishing her sword with her sky-blue hair flowing.
“Is he alone?”
“Yes. It’s rest time for the other crew members. I tend to train like that without taking a break.”
This time, Hong Eun-ju, who silently followed me, responded.
‘Is it a hole characteristic?’
Unlike the magic arts series that pour out explosive careers, Jeonggong was characterized by a history that flowed proudly like the sea. In terms of stamina, it definitely excelled. Of course, the power of the blue cloud sword he had learned was no less than that of magic gong. The more you go up in martial arts, the more you become a beauty in all directions. It was like that even with my Heavenly Demon Sacred Art.
“Uh?”
An enemy stopped his sword and widened his eyes, assuming that I was approaching.
“How are you?”
“Geez, Captain.”
Suddenly, the enemy held out his palm to block my approach.
“Why?”
“I’m just like that right now.”
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“No… I’m a girl too.”
He carefully put his sleeve to her nose and sniffed her lightly.
“It doesn’t smell, so don’t mind it.”
“Aww…!”
The enemy, whose face had become like a ripe tomato, lowered her head.
“Ah, whatever! I’ll wash up and come back!”
As she reached her arc, the enemy ran away. He may have even used a trickle ticket to run, and as the afterimages remained, his new form seemed to grow.
“…”
Ryu Eun-chae looked at me with a bewildered expression, but she lightly ignored it.
“I’m sorry, lord. Because the enemy has no relation to the original body…”
Hong Eun-ju frowned and apologized.
“No, it’s my fault. Next time, I will tell you in advance.”
Since that happened, I should have known that I could be sensitive. It must be said that it is difficult to see as before. I lacked attentiveness.
After the drop disappeared, I arrived at my private reception room, guided by Ryu Eun-chae. There was something to give to the enemy anyway, so it just happened.
While waiting leisurely while drinking the coffee Eunchae Ryu gave me, Jeokha hesitantly opened the door and came in. The strong scent of shampoo washed over me.
In a pure white dress that was not suitable for training, her skin was more bright than before, as if she had just finished her make-up.
“That… I’m sorry.”
“No, don’t mind, sit down.”
“Me?”
“Okay.”
“Can I go out?”
Surprisingly, Ryu Eun-chae asked first. I don’t know if he noticed what happened between me and the enemy. I nodded. It doesn’t matter if Ryu Eun-chae listens, but he’d better be considerate of the enemy.
Tak- Eventually, Ryu Eun-chae closed the door and left. I was stunned just in case. The enemy’s eyes trembled slightly.
“Leader?”
He took a small box out of his pocket and put it on the table.
“What’s this?”
“Gift.”
“Yes?”
“Have you finished digesting your internal organs?”
Nod It seemed that he had finished capturing his previously increased inner strength.
“Why are you so shy? It doesn’t suit you.”
“Every time I see the face of the captain, I keep thinking of you.”
The pouting of the lips is pretty cute. I spread my arms a little exaggeratedly.
“Come on. Let’s hug.”
“I do not like it.”
Even though he said he didn’t like it, he sat right next to me. I opened the box A refreshing aura spread all around. Inside was a phantom the size of a finger. The enemy’s eyes widened.
“Elixir?”
“Come and pick it up. Take you.”
“…Why? Did you come and pick it up? It’s always a joke.”
“Because what you eat seems to be the most efficient. I received it as a reward for winning the Musinje, but it’s a joke.”
First of all, me and midsummer don’t work. Due to the nature of the sun or lunar eclipse, even breathing increases internal energy, and when I asked Han Yeo-reum, he said that he took off a piece of ice crystal and absorbed it altogether. Somehow, as the days went by, his inner energy increased exponentially, and that was the reason.
I didn’t even have a piece of it, but I had a nuclear bomb-level hwamajeong in my body. There was nothing to say. I had already taken enough elixir there. Cheon Ha-yeon had already reached Hwagyeong, and since she was young, she had been drinking elixir instead of rice, so it was all the more meaningless.
The other members of the Red Dragon Corps had strong stomachs, so they were able to get them and eat them on their own if needed.
In the end, even if my selfishness was excluded, the most suitable target was the enemy. Maybe it was because Cheongseong was ruined, but when I checked it before, there weren’t that many of them. Just enough to fit the boundaries.
“Can I really eat it?”
The enemy hesitated and hesitated to accept it.
“What are you doing with just this?”
“Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem normal.”
“Like Taecheongdan, an extinct shaman. Wouldn’t the effect be better since it’s the same Tao family?”
“Taecheongdan…?”
“Uh. Taecheongdan.”
“…I heard that it’s a rare elixir that’s hard to find even when your hearing is intact.”
“Don’t talk, take it. Before forcing it into your mouth. No, eat now.”
“Yes? My heart is still ready…!”
“What is the mental preparation?”
I immediately tore open the scepter and put it in the enemy’s mouth. It’s better to definitely strengthen your subordinates than to become a piece of shit for nothing. You’re not alone anymore
Unable to overcome my violent hand, the enemy eventually swallowed his elixir and hurriedly sat down on his cross-legged seat.
‘Certainly, it works well.’
The momentum that arose from the enemy’s body was unusual. I heard that there is an example of breaking through the realm with an elixir. It didn’t seem like that was the case for nothing.
Relaxingly waiting for Jeok-ha to finish his fortune-telling breakfast.
A message came.
[Hello, Young master. This is Moorim Inspection Department Park Soo-ho.]
He exchanged contacts, but he was the one I never expected to come.
***
After taking the elixir, accept the enemy who ran amok until he collapsed halfway.
I quietly left the branch in time for dinner. I went into a cafe with a view of Mokhyeoncheon, near the branch office. There, the man I had seen before was frowning and looking at something on a tablet.
“Oh, are you here?”
He looked at me and smiled. I was a little shaken up.
“Yeah, it’s been a while… Not so long.”
“Iced Americano, are you okay?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“I will buy this.”
I didn’t have to hold back. Team leader Park Soo-ho came to me with coffee and sat down. Then he picked up a steaming cup of coffee and put it down hastily.
“Aww, sorry.”
“It’s okay. I didn’t expect to see you again this early.”
“I agree.”
“The offer I made last time is valid.”
“Ugh. That’s done.”
Team leader Park Soo-ho shook his hand. I didn’t think I would be eaten anyway. It was just a tea to ventilate the atmosphere.
“I want to know the business. What order did you get from the NIS?”
Team leader Park Soo-ho glanced around. There were not too many people in the cafe.
“I heard that unmanned soldiers can hit something amazing. Is that possible?”
“Already hit.”
It’s amazing. As soon as he sat down, he hit me.
“Also. By any chance, do you remember what happened in Kaesong?”
“Of course. I remember.”
The scenery there is probably hard to forget. It was the place where I first realized how much of a gutter this world was. Hundreds of corpses hung like chunks of meat, the sight and stench of terrible demons were still vivid.
“First of all, I apologize for investigating Young master’s activities without speaking.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
I would have been much more disappointed if I hadn’t researched anything about me. I mean it’s incompetent. Of course, there was no way he was incompetent, so of course he would have thoroughly investigated me.
“Do you remember Sergeant Ahn Tae-joon?”
“Yes. He was the one who used the call sign Romeo One. What’s wrong?”
Taejun Ahn. There was a time when I saved a person who should have died as a file. I was also in charge of cleaning up the Kaesong facility.
“No. There are no problems with your surroundings. He is still actively working on his mission. However, a problem arose in the part related to the underground facility.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t care about work at all after that. At the time, I lacked the ability to do anything.
“If it is a problem, in what part?”
“After Sergeant Ahn Tae-joon’s report, I came out directly from the top and finished the probation. I saw whether Grandmaster Ahn Tae-joon was silent, and the contents about Young master were left out. The problem is after. Even though the large-scale facility where such a terrible thing happened was discovered, the higher up quietly buried it. There was pressure.”
“If it’s the top line, how high does it go?”
“Up to the commander of the 4th Operational Command in charge of Gaeseong.”
“A 4th lyricist commander would be a lieutenant general. It doesn’t seem like they are in a class that can easily succumb to pressure.”
“This is Lieutenant General Bae Joong-myeong. The person who put the pressure is Dang Jae-seop, a 4-term member of the National Assembly. The constituency is…”
“Four thousand?”
“…Yes. In Sacheon alone, I was reappointed to the fourth term.”
