The Swordsman Hid His Apprentice 10

Chapter 10 – 10. I Became a Swordsman’s Disciple.

“Nice to meet you. He is an old swordsman of the Cheongseong faction who is undeservedly called Baekdo Jinin.”
“It’s an honor to meet you, Jinin. My name is Baekwoon, a disciple of Swordsman.”
“Huh? A swordsman’s apprentice?”

It was a car greeting Baek Do-jin, who had a meeting with the guidance of the branch manager. Just like Baek Do-jin, who had a face that seemed like he was hearing it for the first time, the head of the branch head tilted his head from the side, and the gaze went back and forth between the swords.

At that, Geomhu shrugged his shoulders with a calm face, and his heart fluttered. Since it is so large, it was spectacular to see it sway even in small movements. Yesterday, after being beaten up and watching it over and over again, they had developed some tolerance now, but the branch manager and Baek Do-jin turned their heads away as if they weren’t used to it.
No, thinking about it, I think my back was bent a bit too.

Could it be that the blood almost rushed to the lower leg? Even though he has reached the age of old and middle-aged, he still seems to have corrected himself like a military man. Hagisa, I was also a thousand people from the future, but I was pretty correct.

“I couldn’t sleep yesterday, so I went out for a walk at night, and I met Baek So-hyeop and talked about it, and I found that it was related to the text. So I decided to accept it as my personal disciple.”
“Is he volcanic blue?”
“That’s right. Even if you know the world, you really don’t know.”

Perhaps the fact that he drew plum blossoms with the six-point sword method positively induced the idea of ​​accepting him as a disciple, but the branch manager who did not know that fact just tilted his head. Because I knew that Geomhu and I had just met each other yesterday. As a third party, he would not be able to understand the unfolding situation.

In the meantime, Baek Do-jin smiled kindly and clapped.

“Heh heh. Congratulations. The swordsman finally accepted the disciple.”
“Is this something to be celebrated?”

Originally, it was strange to be a master of a prestigious political faction without disciples. As long as the martial arts does not have serious side effects or is difficult to learn, as in the case of the mysterious munpa, it is common for students to exist. That’s why, when I was embarrassed by Baek Do-jin’s congratulations, he came to the side and whispered an explanation.

“As an outsider of hers, what can I say, her gift for teaching swordsmanship is poor. She learns much faster from the other Elders of the Volcano Sect than she learns from her.”
“Still, aren’t there people who can be taught and be called disciples?”
“This is a rumor, but as far as I know, the main education for sword fighting is training through sparring in real life. If you go under one of the great disciples and receive instruction, it can be regarded as having been briefly taught by a master of the same school.”
“…Ah.”

I had a guess. Apparently, it was just yesterday’s teaching, and after beating me with her training sword, it was hard to tell whether this was actual training or beating under the guise of her training. So, even if her ability to cope with actual battles rises, she will not be very effective in learning martial arts.

Also, in an era where fighting with monsters is the main focus rather than fighting between warriors due to the existence of the demonic world, learning martial arts skills rather than fighting skills increases the probability of survival. So, there is no choice but to be a young and strong special case like me.

“You be careful too. She went under the sword and went with her spirit to receive her teachings, and there are not one or two patients hospitalized by her.”
“…Thank you.”

But it’s already too late.

She was beaten so badly yesterday that she voluntarily beat Mori.

‘It’s crazy that my boneless bones are amazing. If it wasn’t for that, I might have been hospitalized as the real Baek Do-jin said.’

At first, I thought it was a ganja and was trying to incapacitate me by beating me up, but to my surprise, it hit me like that and there was no hostility at all, so I could barely realize that it wasn’t. As Baek Do-jin said, if it were not me but another soldier, he would have suffered a fracture or an internal injury and should have spent several days recuperating.

In a word, the swordsman was not good at measuring, let alone teaching. He was amazed that Gosu could do that.

“Heh heh. But don’t hate her too much. It’s all because of her circumstances.”

Also, what happened? Seeing Baek Do-jin’s mouth full of bitterness, I suddenly became curious.

“If it’s not rude, may I ask what it is?”
“That’s not something I can answer. Have a serious talk with your teacher later, if you want to get closer.”

Saying that, Baek Do-jin falls down. After all, she had such a great personality that I could understand why she was nicknamed the “White Way” When I saw her saying, “Don’t hate swordsman too much” Or “Take a serious talk about her later.” They say that she has neither a name nor a hundred degrees. I looked at him and moved to the swordsman’s side.

Seeing me approaching, Swordsman glanced at Baek Do-jin, who was having a conversation with the branch manager, and carefully asked me.

“What did you talk about with Baekdo? Believe me, I wasn’t talking behind the back of this stern teacher.”
“The teacher said that he was envious because he was young.”
“I don’t think that’s the case… Well, I’ll let you go this time.”
“Thank you.”

Baekdo Jin-in and her swordsman were warriors of her contemporaries, so it was not particularly strange to envy her for her class. She didn’t seem to believe my excuses very much, but the corners of her mouth went up slightly when I heard that she looked young, as if to prove that her woman was her woman.

Baek Do-jin and the branch manager approached after the talk while the swordsman grinned.

“The guide is the super-accurate and the extreme member, Baek So-hyeop… Sword Hu’s disciple will do it. Sword Hu and Baek Do Jin-in, please head to Ma Gyeong-ju, who will be recovering his strength in the shortest time. It must be a monster, so we must hurry.”
“Okay.”
“That’s right, Moyong.”
“All right.”

As the three of us nodded with determined eyes, the branch manager continued the story.

“First of all, I will look for additional people I can send, but I hope you don’t expect reinforcements and start hunting monsters. Also, it may not be necessary for Swordsman’s disciples, but Swordsman and Baekdo Jinin start fighting in the Devil’s Realm. Please take this sweet pill when you do.”
“Sniff sniff. Hey, Moyong. What is this medicine?”

Do-jin Baek rolled the red pill received from the branch manager and smelled it, but in the end, he couldn’t figure it out, so he asked the person who gave the gift to use it.

“That’s an elixir called saengyeomdan 生炎丹. If you eat it, you’ll feel burning inside for a period of time, but at the same time, they say you’ll have a strong resistance to flames during that time. It is the elixir of the old world.”
“… No, how did you get it in one night even though it was the elixir of the old family?”

Baek Do-jin asked as if it was absurd, but I and the swordsman were curious as well. Although inferior to the five generations, it was not far behind, so it was not strange to have such a leap, but the Guyang family is the Murim family based in Anhui Province.

It was impossible in terms of time to get the elixir from them in Anhui Province and return to Sichuan in one night.

The branch manager replied in a tone that it was not a big deal.

“I just exchanged the low-level elixirs that I personally have with the fresh dyes of the collaterals of the Old Yang family who are working in the alliance.
“Thank you, Moyong.”
“Okay, branch manager.”

I couldn’t understand at all when I saw the two masters who simply understood the explanation of the branch manager and expressed their gratitude for their consideration.

Branch manager Lee, what the hell are you doing?

***

Thus, the hunting party, consisting of a very small group of three people, headed for the Devil’s Nest 〈 Firebird’s Nest 〉. When I arrived, I was in the middle of running at a moderate pace, controlling my fatigue so as not to be exhausted.

Normally, not having a conversation would be easier to save energy at times like this, but I couldn’t stay still because I was curious about the identity of the branch manager. So, it was a little off to ask Baek Do-jin, who I hadn’t met for the first time today, so I approached the swordsman who became a teacher yesterday and asked a question subtly.

“Master, by the way, what kind of person is the head of the Sichuan branch?”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you easily give a person like me something like a summons and find and give an unfamiliar elixir called a raw salt group in one day? It feels like my common sense is twisted a lot.”
“Hmm. Maybe you felt that way.”

He responded convincingly to my question, saying that it could be done. If you see a reaction like that, you might be able to explain why.

Even if she didn’t have to rush to ask, she waited, thinking that she would talk to her soon, and as expected, she began to explain.

“Do you know what the Sichuan branch manager’s nickname is?”
“I do not know.”
“Then do you know what his realm is like?”
“Isn’t it the beginning of the transcendent peak?”

That’s why I was able to easily subdue the spirit with the Dragon’s Eye. It’s not that he’s weak, but with the help of the Murim League branch manager who lives in this era full of demons, he should have matured or reached the extreme.

At my answer, the swordsman nodded his head.

“Yes. His inaction is not outstanding even though he is the head of a branch in charge of a region. The funny thing is that even after he worked so hard when he was young, he said that he did not improve as if that was the limit of his talent. He decided to use his talents on the other side. As a result, he earned the nickname 投資之王.”
“The king of investment?
“Yes. Such a nickname may be an insult to a warrior. But the branch manager, who accepted it as if it were true, worked harder and won the position of the branch manager of Sacheon in the Moorim League at a young age. In short, his skills will be followed in midfield. This is at least not among the Murim people. The fact that he believed in you and invested in the summoning team doesn’t seem to be bad for you, and at the same time, he saw that you had a fairly high potential to become a master in the future, so he gave it to you with a big heart. Trusting the branch manager’s discernment also plays a significant role in this teacher’s acceptance of you as a disciple.”
“Okay.”
“If you feel grateful to him, then he will become a master later and you just have to get close to him. So, for now, let’s focus only on conquering the Devil’s Edge.”
“Yes, Master.”

While accepting the words of the sword, it was recorded in my head that the branch manager of Sacheon was the king of connections.
