Chapter 25 – Chapter 5. Teacher and Maid.
Heavenly horse
An absolute person who has been unified in the martial arts.
Jihyeok also received lessons from the Heavenly Demon several times.
If you follow the world’s logic that if you are taught only once, you will be treated as a teacher, then the Heavenly Demon can be said to be Jihyeok’s teacher.
“They said they were Murim people. You doubted my eyes when we first met.”
… Well, even here, such an existence is very rare.
Even in this place where all the world’s strongest people gathered, there were only a handful of people who could stand against the Heavenly Demon.
“What… , Nothing to hide. It was the first time I lost to the human race. … You are a very good person.”
“I really want to meet you once.”
“Someday that day will come.”
“However… , Why did you bring that up?”
The fairy’s emerald eyes stared at Jihyeok.
“Because…”
She sighed slightly.
“Because I saw a little bit of that person in you.”
… It was correct. Jihyeok’s steps now are copied a lot from the Heavenly Demon’s steps.
As expected, Azel’s keen eye was not an ordinary one. Should I say that she has a seasoned beauty that has nurtured countless talents?
“Okay.”
“Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s the same. That it feels similar … And he used his bare fists without a weapon.”
Jihyeok pretended to be surprised.
“Bare fists? How amazing.”
The fairy smiled.
“At first I thought you were crazy.”
Of course, he must have been a crazy bastard. Because she wouldn’t do such a thing if she wasn’t crazy.
“Anyway, that’s just it. I don’t mean to say anything in particular. When I see you, I suddenly think of the Heavenly Demon…”
“Yes.”
“You can climb higher than that person if you try. I guarantee So don’t think about anything else and keep working hard. Understand?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Okay…”
She pretended to dust her clothes.
“I won’t go away. I have some work piled up.”
“Okay, I’ll be back later.”
“Okay.”
The fairy took off the clearing first. Jihyeok sighed and she looked up at the sky.
… Looking forward to meeting the Heavenly Demon again someday.
Three months really passed in the blink of an eye.
Now, Azel and Jihyeok are accustomed to living together to some extent. Agel wholeheartedly supported Jihyeok, and as if he reciprocated, he constantly trained. The disciple is working so hard, but the fairy has no choice but to take on the role of housemaid herself… Still, she felt rewarded to see him grow day by day.
This guy will be my greatest masterpiece.
He retired a long time ago and withdrew from the fierce front, but Ji-hyuk had no choice but to reverse that decision. Still, he was well worth it. She was ready to give him her all for the last time. So she couldn’t help but fall in love with him even more.
Meal laundry cleaning… , Originally, the teacher did everything that the disciple should have done. At first, I had a bit of a grievance, but now I’ve given up on that idea. If it’s something I have to do anyway, I think I’ll do it with a good heart.
After her morning training, she diligently did housework and finished preparing her own meal for lunch. Soon after, Jihyeok came in.
He must have washed himself in the lake, and his shirtless body and head were wet.
“Are you hungry? Come and eat.”
These days, she has even gone out to the forest to gather herbs for a richer diet. She spared nothing if it was good for her body.
Perhaps thanks to her sincerity, his body has become much stronger than before. Due to the limitations of his race, his muscles weren’t so rugged that he was ignorant like an orc, but he was still in good shape.
“I will eat well, Master.”
Whatever Jihyeok gave him, he ate it happily and happily. Master said that was very special. … Well, considering the food he cooks, it’s normal for him to enjoy anything.
Anyway, while the two men and women were eating like that, they suddenly felt someone approaching. The two of them looked at each other almost at the same time, then looked at each other again.
The fairy’s face cooled in an instant. She hated having someone invade her private space without permission.
Jihyeok didn’t want Izel to accidentally cause an accident, so he stood up first.
“I’ll go out and see.”
She didn’t really dry it either. He left the cabin with his shirt off.
Someone was approaching the cabin along the trail. It was not one, but two. It’s both male and female.
Jihyeok stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back and looked at them.
The older-looking man looked at him and hesitated for a moment. The gap between his eyebrows narrowed at once. He didn’t have a happy face.
Jihyeok seemed to know the guy’s identity. He must have been a warrior… But he couldn’t remember the name. It probably means he’s not a big enough guy to remember the name.
The guy came close to the front of the cabin. And he stood by the garden. The person who followed was a pretty cute-looking woman. Her clothes are also very fancy. … He seemed to be someone of high status.
He felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere. But she couldn’t recall her true identity either.
“Who are you?”
Jihyeok asked. The man stepped forward and opened his mouth. It looked pretty pompous.
“Isn’t it polite to say your name before asking who you are?”
“Do you have the courtesy of revealing your name to a suspicious person first?”
Khumm-. The man had a very uncomfortable expression. It also bothers me that a young man came out of Master’s cabin, and on top of that, he’s such a cheeky guy.
“I am the warrior Jerin. Are you okay?”
“What did you come for?”
“How dare you talk, that’s what!”
The man rolled his eyes. Then the front door creaked open. A fairy came out from inside. Ah. The warrior’s face was wide open in an instant.
“Master-!”
However, the fairy’s face was not as welcoming as the guy’s. There was a bit of displeasure mingled in the grave expression.
“Jeryn, what is this? He suddenly came to the master’s house and raised his voice like that—!”
The man who had acted ferociously until just now slowly crawled in front of the fairy.
“Oh, sorry if you offended me. … His voice has risen a little because interest has suddenly become spoiled.”
“This is my favorite disciple.”
“… Yes?”
Agel was clearly retired. Wasn’t it only three years ago that he declared that he would no longer raise disciples and live a leisurely life?
“What are you here for?”
“Ah… , That, yes here…”
Jeryn introduced her master to the woman next to her quickly.
“She is the youngest daughter of His Excellency the Duke of Balkan.”
“My name is Elizabeth Dolores de Vulcan.”
“… Yes, this is Aizel Raspina. But for what reason… ?”
If she was a princess, she couldn’t treat Eisel carelessly. However, she did not hide her discomfort. She was well qualified to show her attitude.
“Ah, Master, that is…”
“Did I ask you?”
“… Sorry.”
Jerry nodded and apologized. Her temperamental nature, which had been suppressed until now, began to explode.
“Princess, why did you come all the way here?”
“… I came because I wanted to get a letter of recommendation.”
“Letter of recommendation?”
Heh-. The fairy snorted at her. Her eyebrows of a princess were a bit twisted.
“I cannot give that to anyone. It is my honor.”
“I know the arrangement.”
“Then you were fooling around. I cannot give you a letter of recommendation.”
Jeryn stepped out again.
“The Princess is very talented. Even if she becomes a warrior right away, it’s not enough. I will vouch for you, Master.”
“Then I’m going to the academy. Why are you here?”
“Aren’t the academies subject to conditions?”
“That is your case.”
Hmm-. Jerryn let out a long snort of hers. It was a pretty troubled expression. I didn’t know that Master would come out so brutally. … Still, what I thought was close to each other, I felt like I was falling apart here.
“If it was the princess, there would have been someone else to get a letter of recommendation besides me. Why would you?”
“Because they have different weights.”
From that answer, Jihyeok knew that this princess was a person with excessive pride in herself.
Of course, Azel, who was quick-witted, didn’t know that either. She hit her snort.
“And I’m sorry, but I already have the owner of my recommendation.”
“… Yes?”
The princess’ brow furrowed. Jerin glanced at Jihyeok next to her teacher with a puzzled look.
“If… , Is that me?”
“Okay.”
Jerrin was frustrated. She is none other than the daughter of the Duke of Balkan, who took the trouble to come here, but I wonder if she is vehemently refusing. I knew she had an eccentric temper, but this went too far.
But after years of learning under her mentor, he didn’t know how stubborn she was. If you say no, I won’t give it to her even if a knife is put in her throat.
So he abandoned the idea of persuasion.
“But, from my point of view, he doesn’t seem to be a good enough guy to get a letter of recommendation…”
“… Okay?”
Azel smiled meaningfully. If it was normal, she would have run around asking if I dared to doubt my eyes, but her reaction was a bit strange.
Still, Jerryn did not stop. She boasted to the duke that she could get a letter of recommendation unconditionally, but she couldn’t back down. It was not only her face, but also several interests.
“The princess’s talent is recognized even in the empire. From what I can see, there are only a handful of people as outstanding as the princess.”
The fairy laughed even louder. Princess Elizabeth was very uncomfortable. Because she thinks he’s laughing at me.
“Then let’s see who is better?”
“Great.”
Jerin is right—-, he asked at the fairy’s suggestion. She was thinking of proposing first, and she thought it went well.
“Then the winner should have a letter of recommendation…”
It was a bit blatant, but Jerrin put a steel plate on her face. Of course, the fairy could have refused, but she readily accepted.
The fairy looked straight at her princess and said.
“Good… If the princess loses, leave immediately. And don’t ever come back to her again.”
“Great.”
Elizabeth was already hurting her pride. She really came with a good heart, she never thought she would be insulted this far.
Gongnyeo was already being praised by those around her for saying that even if she became a warrior, she was at a level where she was not lacking. She herself was aware of her own talents.
Genius among geniuses.
She wanted to become her hero and make her own excellence known to all around her. Imagining everyone looking up at her made her unbearably excited.
I can’t see anything arrogant about how much Hero I made that year. It’s nothing… !
The princess didn’t even like the fairy. If it wasn’t for the letter of recommendation, she would have kicked it off right away…
Recognizing the achievements of the past, I personally came to this far away, but my attitude is like that… There was really nothing wrong with the rumor that he was eccentric. No, it seemed more like that.
I don’t like him either. An insignificant commoner bastard…
Elizabeth didn’t like the bastard that she called a disciple over there. She just hated it all. After she showed off her skills, she said she didn’t need your letter of recommendation and decided to leave. That would be the sweetest revenge. She laughed inwardly, imagining the look on the face of the fairy in despair.
It’s a punishment for not recognizing the real genius.
Gongnyeo and Jihyeok stood facing each other in the empty lot. She drew her sword.
But he stood there, arms crossed and without weapons. She was upset.
“What are you doing now? … Ha, are you scared?”
Elizabeth skillfully twisted her opponent. As expected, it was a skill worthy of an aristocratic bastard who is good at gossip.
However, when it comes to speaking skills, there was no corner that Jihyeok fell into.
“The weapons look so unfair. You have to match your sewage skills.”
The gongnyeo’s expression cooled. This dog-like pup. The arrogance has gone too far. She swung her sword with the intent to kill.
However, the sword did not touch his body. She swung her sword faster. But this time, too, she only cut through the air.
… This, this, dog… !
The princess gritted her teeth and swung her sword frantically. But her sword couldn’t even touch his hair.
Ah.
Jerin’s elated expression hardened there. She instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
We have to stop now.
“Princess, Princess-! Wait. For a moment… !”
However, the gongnyeo’s eyes had already gone. Jerin’s voice did not reach her ears at all.
This, Mr., Mr. Lee, bitch, bit, bitch, right, right-!
Elizabeth swung the sword with all her might, but Ji-hyeok easily dodged it all. A faint smile bloomed on her face.
Let’s show this motherfucking bitch what the sky is.
I don’t know if it’s because he has a twisted mind, but Ji-hyeok had the most fun in the world playing with sewage. Especially the minions he knew he was going to win and was elated.
The princess must have lost quite a bit of strength, so her sword-swinging speed noticeably slowed.
So let’s start slowly.
Jihyeok stamped his foot on the woman’s stomach, which was revealed to be defenseless.
Oops.
The princess rolled on her floor ungainly. Her luxurious attire has become a mess.
“I’m a princess—!”
Jerryn called her urgently. However, Jihyeok had no intention of ending it yet.
“What are you doing lying there? … Could it be that it’s over already?”
The princess stood up with her eyes reddened and grinding her teeth.
“It’s not over–!!”
Jihyeok smiled.
Yes, it’s fun when the sewage is a bit poisonous.
