Raon curled up the corner of his mouth as he looked at the four sword demons shaking their hands.
‘There’s no reason for me to do it.’
If a proper senior martial artist were to teach him, he would gladly accept it, but Sagumma is a human being whose insides are so black that they have been charred. That teaching was clearly a poisoned apple.
‘You can use a male and female, or you can plant a simma.’
The world of martial arts is mysterious. As his name suggests, he could use magic, so he had no reason to touch the author.
It is also clear why Sagumma used such a trivial tactic.
“Wow!”
“White Sword Dragon! White sword dragon! “White Sword Dragon!”
“Sageomma! Four swords! “Sageomma!”
Since everyone in the audience was shouting so loudly that the ground shook, they thought they couldn’t refuse the teachings, so they did something different.
‘It’s not a bad method, but… .’
I don’t care about what people think.
By destroying all four of Shinju Oryeong’s disciples, Sieghart and Gwangpungdae’s reputation rose to the point where it soared through the sky.
My reputation had built up to the point where it was overflowing, so even if it went down a bit now, it wouldn’t have meant much.
“Why did White Sword Dragon reject Four Sword Demon’s offer?”
“I know. “Isn’t it unconditionally beneficial?”
“Do you two have a problem?”
“Is Baekgeomryong an ordinary person? “He wouldn’t say no for nothing.”
“Well, if there’s a problem, it’s probably the Four Sword Demons.”
Perhaps because of the power and confidence he had shown so far, and his previous collaboration, there were not many audience members who thought it was strange that he had rejected Sagumma’s offer.
‘This is how it should be.’
The target of the joke made my stomach turn, and what seemed ordinary to others was the real joke.
Today, I felt like I showed the essence of Gaengpan to the point where I was proud of myself.
“If it was because of what happened before, I overreacted. Instead of doing that, think again. “Isn’t this a great opportunity?”
Four Sword Demon briefly shook his head and stretched out his hand.
“You don’t have to give me a good opportunity.”
“Wow, the audience is looking forward to it too!”
He pointed to the audience that was still cheering and muttered, asking if he was going to ignore them. Impatience was evident on his face.
Raon raised his right hand and balled his fist, and the cheering audience all fell silent.
“Are you referring to the words and actions in which you ignored me and Sieghardt in the past?”
“My, when did I ignore you…” .”
“That’s okay. “Because I already forgot.”
Sagumma cut him off before he could refute, making it a fait accompli.
“Well, what is it?”
“Did the Four Swords Demon ignore Sieghart?”
“Ah, so that’s why you refused.”
The audience accepted Raon’s words as fact and glanced at the Four Swords Demon.
“Iik, you’re talking bullshit again… … .”
“But that’s not why I refused to teach.”
Raon shook his head again, cutting off the four sword demons.
“I want to reach the level of a grandmaster with my own strength, without borrowing the strength of others. “If you’re an unmanned person, you have to break down the wall that blocks you.”
As soon as those words were finished, a deep exclamation erupted from the floor of the smoker.
“Ugh… .”
“Baekgeomryong, are you really 21 years old?”
“It’s more surprising to think like that than to have force… .”
“I was wondering how he got to the top level of Master at that age, and it was because he had that kind of faith.”
“A true divinity has appeared in Sieghart.”
The audience nodded loudly, as if they were moved by Raon’s beliefs. Everyone muttered, “That’s how a warrior should be.”
“and… .”
Raon took a step closer to the four sword demons. He smiled, blocking the sound from escaping.
“You don’t have any talent for teaching. “Have you already forgotten that your student couldn’t even survive three sums?”
-It’s a sum of four.
‘The feet are invalid.’
After pushing Lars away, he waved his hand and said that you are not qualified to teach me. Because of those hands, the shape of the mouth was not even visible to other audience members.
“You damn bastard!”
Four Sword Demon gritted his teeth and raised his hand. Just when a huge amount of energy was about to surge as if he was about to leave, the Emperor of Hugeuk blocked his path.
“Comedy festival!”
“Please step back.”
The Emperor of Hugeuk shook his head, pushing away the excited Four Swords Demon. It meant that the flow had already passed that way, so I should step back.
Raon turned his gaze to the comedian. She trembled her eyebrows as if she was annoyed by the situation itself.
‘It seems that the Four Sword Demons thought of giving lessons on their own.’
It was similar to the comedic technique, but much cruder. It was the way an impatient, simple Four Swordsman would think.
“Congratulations again.”
The comedian forced a calm expression and handed over the two boxes he was holding in his hands.
Raon opened the first box. Lavasiri’s heart gave off a warm glow as if it were still alive.
‘It’s genuine. and… .’
I lifted the lid of the second box. A creaking sound followed by an icy cold sensation enveloped my fingers.
It was the energy of frost flowing from the blue apple in the box.
“It’s a thousand-year-old tale.”
The comedy agent twisted his lips, saying that at this level, it would be no problem to take it along with Lavasiri’s heart.
“hmm… … .”
Raon flicked his finger under the sparring table.
“yep!”
Dorian was rubbing the area where he had been hit in sparring, then got up and came up to the sparring hall.
Raon and Dorian talked briefly and nodded.
“I’m sorry, Ariel, but… .”
Raon approached the comedian and lowered his voice to a whisper.
“The product does not seem to fit.”
“What does that mean?”
The comedian frowned.
“At first, they said they would give you a cold elixir of a similar level to Rasashiri, but they say this is not of that level.”
“to… .”
Raon said that and pointed to Dorian. Dorian widened his eyes like a startled herbivore.
“Hmm.”
The comedian’s gaze flickered to Dorian.
“This way… .”
“In addition to being the supply officer of Gwangpungdae, he is also the successor to the Sepia Company.”
Raon smiled slightly as he revealed Dorian’s identity.
“sepia… .”
As soon as the comedian heard Dorian’s identity, he swallowed dry saliva.
“The heir of Sepia says that the elixir of heat is expensive these days, so in terms of value, this thousand-year-old tale is not enough. What do you think?”
Raon lowered Ravasiri’s heart as if his hands were scales, and raised the Millennium Tale upward.
“I heard that Sepia Trading Company has spread its wings these days… .”
“okay. “I heard it’s within three fingers these days.”
“If it’s what the successor to the company says, it must be true.”
Dorian’s identity seemed to have caught on with the audience, and everyone began to think that the millennium tale was not enough.
“Ugh… .”
Three lines of wrinkles appeared on the comedian’s forehead. She shook her neck, opened her subspace pouch again, and held out her blue orbs.
“It’s an elixir called Yeonsundan. “It is imbued with the same coldness as a thousand-year-old tale, so it will be enough.”
Every time she said a word, her voice sounded like a growl as if she was grinding her teeth and handed me the Yeonsundan.
“thank you. “As expected, you are refreshing.”
Raon smiled and nodded. He opened the lid of the box containing the three elixirs and held them up to the audience.
“Wow!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon Raon!”
“Gwangpungdae! Gwangpungdae! Gwangpungdae!”
“This is Yukhwang! “What is Shinju Oryeong?”
The audience completely forgot the word “coward” that Sageumma had initially said and only chanted the names of Raon and Gwangpungdae.
Raon handed the elixir box to Dorian and bowed his head to the comedian.
“Thank you for inviting me and giving me this gift.”
“… no. “You take what you have to take.”
“Thanks to you, I had a good time.”
When he said he was going to have fun, the comedian’s face visibly turned pale. It felt like all the anger I had been holding in was surging out.
‘Of course.’
He would not be able to hold back his anger as he took both the fame he was trying to gain through the duel competition and the elixir he had prepared for his student.
“hey! “It was an awesome bout!”
The shout of a ghost was heard from above the podium. His student was robbed and he was cheering like that. That person wasn’t normal either.
Next to him, the evil swordsman was still looking down with an expression of incomprehensible thoughts.
Lastly, I saw Four Swords Demon. He was biting his lip with a pale face.
“Thank you, Master Four Swordsmen, for your hard work.”
Raon lifted his chin towards the Four Swords Demon and sneered.
“Ugh… .”
The Four Sword Demon’s hands slowly approached the sword at his waist. However, it stopped before reaching the sword and did not move.
‘Unfortunately, he doesn’t attack me.’
I thought the Four Sword Demons might attack him because his discipline was shallow, unlike his strength, but unfortunately, he didn’t seem to be that stupid.
Raon nodded to the Emperor of Hugeuk and the Four Swords Demon and went down to the sparring hall.
“Ugh… .”
Dorian, who was left alone, broke into a cold sweat as he pushed the elixir box into his stomach pocket.
“I just said it was an elixir that everyone didn’t know about, so why…” .”
The comedian’s face turned red at Dorian’s muttering. She gritted her teeth as she watched Raon go down to the sparring hall.
‘That bastard really!’
* * *
-Are you really human?
Lars glanced back and let out a sigh.
-Aren’t some of your ancestors a charlatan from heaven? How are you planning to commit such a fraud there?
The guy’s thick chin trembled as he asked how he could think of taking advantage of Dorian in that situation.
‘It was luck.’
Raon smiled slightly. When he called Dorian to get the elixir, his identity came to mind, so he gave it a try, and it worked well. He had nothing to say because it was pure luck.
When I remembered that the comedian’s face had turned red just a moment ago, I naturally laughed.
I headed to the temporary treatment center, feeling my heart open.
Runan and Marta were still lying unconscious. When I looked into it, I noticed that both of their major injuries had healed.
-Ice Cream Girl and Beef Girl are both okay.
Ras looked at Marta and Runaan and nodded. I felt reassured because he was someone I could trust in this regard.
-However, it seems like it will take a while for the beef girl to wake up.
‘why?’
-Didn’t you suddenly go beyond the limit? I need time to sort myself out.
‘Well, so did I.’
He nodded because it was something he had also experienced.
‘I never thought I’d see this gangster become a master.’
He smiled slightly as he looked at Marta. I was amazed and proud that the bully who had started a fight as soon as they met suddenly realized the importance of his colleagues and became a master.
This time, he turned his attention towards Runan, who was sleeping loudly.
‘Same goes for this guy.’
Like Marta, Runan also did not get along well with others.
The guy who was afraid of blood after being brainwashed by Syria has grown up and even learned martial arts to protect his comrades. I was just proud of it.
-Isn’t it the same for you?
‘me?’
-At first, you couldn’t get along with humans and turned away, didn’t you?
‘Of course.’
Raon looked at Lars and nodded calmly.
‘Because I also learned a little more about what people are like.’
Because he lived his past life as a brainwashed assassin, he did not know the value of family, friends, and colleagues. I thought it was an illusion with no meaning.
But as I started living a new life, my thoughts changed.
Through Sylvia and the members of the annex, I realized what family is, and through Gwangpungdae, I learned the importance of friends and colleagues.
Since all of these people were valuable relationships, I felt that I should do better in the future.
Raon left the treatment center with a soft smile.
“Wow!”
“Raon! Good job!”
“It was the Vice Lord’s sword himself!”
“Good luck Raon! Damn Raon!”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors applauded, exclaiming that it was great.
“You know what?”
Raon lifted his chin as he looked at the windbreaker.
“I won, not you.”
At those words, Gwangpungdae’s complexion turned pale.
“It’s so pathetic that you even make me move.”
“Ah, no, we are all masters, so what can we do…?” .”
“Everything you do is training to strengthen your concentration.”
Raon waved his hand and pointed to the entire Gwangpungdae.
“hey! “I didn’t even go up!”
Buren widened his eyes.
“Who wants to go up?”
“I told you not to go!”
“That’s it. “Get ready to go back.”
I covered his mouth and turned my back.
-no… .
Lars gaped as he looked at the Gwangpungdae, whose atmosphere had been so ruined.
-He said he would do better in the future! What if I can’t keep my resolution for even 10 seconds? You crazy guy!
* * *
After giving instructions to Gwangpungdae to go to the dormitory and wait, Raon looked to the right side of the audience.
A red-haired elf sitting on a makeshift table was drooling as she counted the gold coins piled on the floor.
I sighed softly and approached Rimmer.
“Did you win a lot?”
“uh? “Is our Jae-shin here?”
Rimmer grinned as he draped a sack full of gold coins over his shoulder. Her face shone brightly, as if she was happy to be a married woman again after a long time.
“Just looking at you makes me feel full even without eating!”
He said he did really well and patted me on the shoulder.
“As you built up a reputation, it became increasingly difficult to have fun, but you thought it was three to one!”
Rimmer was upset, saying that it had been a long time since the dividend had fallen by more than 8 times.
“First of all, would you please return the sacred tablet?”
Raon pointed to Sieghardt’s emblem embedded in Rimmer’s chest.
“Oh, that’s right.”
He grinned, took off the new badge certifying his status as a representative, and handed it back. He checked just in case, and he didn’t change anything.
“I don’t lie about how much money I won.”
Rimmer waved his hand and said not to worry.
Raon did not withdraw his hand even after receiving the token.
“huh? What’s this?”
“You also have to pay the down payment.”
“Say, payment?”
“If you sold my name here, you should pay me a fair price for it.”
He flicked his finger toward the gold coin pouch hanging over Rimmer’s shoulder.
“Don’t lose everything later.”
“Wow, this is really harsh. “I’ve seen a lot of people, but I’ve never met someone like you!”
“It’s my first time seeing an elf like you, Lord.”
“Ugh!”
He sighed and took money out of his gold coin bag.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he received the gold coin from Rimmer.
‘It’s strange as expected.’
In the past, Rimmer would not give money this easily.
It was awkward to hand over money to someone who was supposed to be holding on to his pants.
‘especially… … .’
I still feel angry.
Even after winning that much money, Rimer felt uneasy. He could feel a sticky anger burning in his heart.
‘Las.’
-That’s right. That guy is still burning with anger.
Lars nodded, saying he had seen it correctly.
“My lord.”
Raon approached Rimmer and took a quick bite.
“hey. Let’s make a living too. If you take more than this… .”
“Have you ever heard the saying that shared joy is doubled, and shared sorrow is halved?”
“Well, I’ve heard of it… .”
He widened his eyes, as if embarrassed by the sudden words.
“Today, when I won the duel and went down to the sparring hall, the Gwangpungdae guys congratulated me, so I felt better than when I won. Thanks to you, I knew that those words were true.”
Raon looked at Rimmer with a faint smile.
“I know I still don’t have much faith, but sharing the hard work will be half done. “If there’s anything you want to discuss, please come by anytime.”
I bowed my head, left the audience, and left the sparring hall.
-You’re in a good mood, but you’re leaving the kids? Do you really have a mental problem? A health checkup… .
‘shut up.’
I left the training ground, pushing Ras away who was shouting that humans were listening to the demon king.
“hmm… .”
Rimmer stared blankly at Raon’s back as he walked away, his fingertips trembling.
[You really made a good student.]
He nodded calmly as he listened to the Auror message Cheryl sent.
“… okay. “It’s too much.”
