<Episode 272> Winter has come. (2)
It is an indication that winter has arrived after fall.
It’s cold air.
As the wind gradually gets colder and the beautifully colored leaves begin to hold their breath.
It was only then that I realized that winter had arrived.
Of course, it’s still too early to call it winter.
It won’t be long before the lush forest turns cold.
The training ground of the nine families.
Hururuk.
Sparks were flying inside the training ground.
Unlike the cold air outside.
The spacious room is filled with heat.
A huge flame was spinning through the air, filling the surrounding area.
The bet is simmering as if it could explode at any moment.
‘Without getting distracted.’
But I was careful not to blow it up.
It withstands vibrations that seem like they could explode at any moment, and compresses and moves them.
My danjeon feels like it’s being squeezed tightly by the recoil.
The flesh that holds the pressure is extremely delicate.
‘Come together.’
He whispered to me as if giving an order.
The flames that had been spreading out in all directions suddenly gathered into the palm of my hand.
Phew-! A strong wind is blowing.
My hair is blowing in the wind created by the bet.
I don’t care.
For now, I just had to focus on making it more complete.
“Phew… .”
As the flame gradually stopped vibrating.
Only then was I able to open my closed eyes.
Where did the white, gentle hands I saw when I first returned go?
A hand that has become very rough and large comes into view.
And on top of that.
A small red ball appeared.
It was the size of a fingernail, but had a subtle, splendid color.
Looking at that, I let out a sigh.

“•••It worked.”
You can’t even imagine how much is at stake in this little bead.
I had to spend at least half of the amount I had.
Because I spread it to the compression of compression.
If you let your concentration go even for a moment, it has the power to explode and blow away the surroundings.
‘But the cost-effectiveness is nothing.’
Just creating this little bead right now cost me more than half the bet.
This means that you can only use it once at the current level.
‘I used it well in my past life, though.’
At that time, in terms of the amount of bets, it was the largest in the Central Plains, excluding Cheonma.
However, it could have been used as much as needed without any compression or adjustment.
‘Right now… . I mean, you can’t just do that.’
Bam.
He clenched the small ball into a fist and squeezed it.
Even though it was detonated with the intention of recovery, the sudden gust of wind caused the training ground to shake slightly.
Flame Jade.
It is one of the nine seasons that can only be used once the Nine Flames Lun Gong reaches a certain level.
What this means is.
‘It came up.’
I meant that Gu Yan Hualun Gong had finally ascended to the Heavenly Realm.
Plus.
‘One step closer to Hwagyeong.’
There was only one step left until we crossed the climax and set foot on a new world.
‘•••You came much faster than I expected.’
I thought it was a realm that could be reached only when the terms and conditions were met.
It was approaching much faster than I expected.
Not only have I consumed a lot of magic stones and energy during that time,
Could it be because he reached his peak at a young age?
It may be because the bet is assimilated into the flesh quickly.
‘•••Even so, each step is the hardest.’
The wall blocking the upper chamber is very wide, large, and thick.
And I can’t find a gap and dig in like I did during the peak.
It’s not nearly enough to break it.
It’s just reaching it, but it’ll take a while to get over it.
Even so,

‘It’s a great harvest to reach the shore.’
During that time, I only practiced to the point of death and achieved results.
I went through all that trouble to make this one crazy bead.
“•••Can we take it easy now?”
It’s not that I necessarily wanted to use this martial art.
Because the fastest and best training to reach the end was the training that formed the Yeom-ok.
You have to be careful with your bets.
It puts ridiculous pressure on his body.
Can you endure this and move the bet?
‘That’s training, isn’t it?’
Even though summer has passed and fall has arrived.
Rather than the cool weather, it felt like I was rolling around in the hot sun all day.
Anyway, I got what I wanted… .
“You can rest a little more from now on….”
-master.
“•••hmm?
As I was shaking off my body, I heard the servant’s voice from outside.
“why.”
-Tell the general what he said. He says the master is looking for you.
“ ”
I immediately sensed something from the servant’s words.
It seems like I’ve eaten a lot of Amagul, so it’s not as if I’m resting like I want.
After entering the residence of the headmaster, I found my room.
Now, I’ve been here several times and it feels somewhat familiar.
“I heard you called.”
“okay.”
Of course, my father’s gaze was still extremely burdensome.
My father glanced at me, then looked up and down for a moment.
“hmm.
I felt something strange in his eyes.
‘You noticed.’
Perhaps he had noticed that I had reached the 涪城.
Anyway, he was still a quick-witted person.
‘In the meantime.’
Even though I reached the end.

There is no sign of father’s enthusiasm whatsoever.
This is because he hid his bets tightly and hid his presence.
Either the gap between heaven and earth was so wide that I couldn’t even sense it.
Whichever it is, the father’s power is still not felt very well.
‘•••That kind of person is only at the level of a master of the 100th Jungwon?’
No way.
I’ve already seen it in my past life.
My father was never a person who would stay at that level.
It’s just hiding its fangs.
The father opened his mouth as he looked at me.
“Not bad.”
“•••thank you.”
It was a compliment, but it didn’t really hit home.
I |
!..
!
… .
It’s monotonous to watch once.
“Third.”
“yes.”
“Why do you think I called you?”
a 99
well…?
‘What? Did I get caught having an accident?’
What could it be?
Did you find out that I blew up the training center while training last time?
No, but since this happened more than once or twice, I couldn’t help but think it was an accident.
Otherwise, the other day, the elder tried to spar with me under the pretense of teaching me.
Are you talking about burning down the entire mountain behind?
To be honest, it was a big mistake on the part of the elders.
If he says it’s teaching and really throws a punch, how can I just run away?
“•••I don’t know.”
No matter how much I think about it, there are too many things that come to mind, so I don’t know.
To my question, my father nodded, took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to me.
“There is no other reason why I called you.”
Advertisements
I accepted the letter my father gave me and opened it.
” ah.”
There was a note written there telling me something I had forgotten while being absorbed in my training.
-Notice of admission date to Shinryongwan.
With the title .
It was filled with flowing words.
Anyway, it’s just a formality, so let’s put it aside.
To summarize, it could be summarized in two lines.
-The blood relatives or disciples of the Sega sect who receive this letter can take the entrance exam to the Shinryongwan.
-If you are even one day late, you won’t be able to take the test.
‘•••They’re here, they’re here.’
I knew that winter was slowly approaching.
I also knew that the appointed day was approaching.
I was so absorbed in my training that I forgot for a moment.
‘It’s the Shinryonggwan.’
It’s a place I never went to in my previous life.
Oh, to be exact, it’s the place I couldn’t get into because I failed the entrance exam.
What the….
Thinking back, it was a pretty vague memory.
To be honest, it was a place you could enter by just breathing.
He started making a fuss saying that he didn’t need to use that kind of stuff to get away with pride.
‘It went down badly.’
My father didn’t say much at the time.
Wouldn’t you have felt embarrassed inside?
For reference.
The eldest sister, Gu Hee-bi, also left Shinryongwan.
It was the rider of the Shinryonggwanjeon flying towards me just now.
Probably first or second place.
I heard that Pang Woo-jin was also a classmate.
‘Just send them to school and get an education. What are you ranking them for?’
Because this is a neighborhood that likes to rank things for no reason.
Even things like this had to be ranked.
“Are you telling me to go?”
“okay.

I asked in a subtle way, thinking that maybe I should say, “If you don’t want to go, don’t go!”
My father’s answer was firm.
‘•••Rotten.’
I’ll just ignore everything else.
I never saw anything like this again.
It seems like he didn’t care because he knew he would fail anyway in his previous life.
‘Do you think I can fall for this?’
It’s too much to swim while the later indices are playing.
I was so big. It’s not that I’m arrogant.
In reality, among those who are called latecomers, there could not have been anyone who was at my level.
‘At best, it’s just Peng Woo-jin… I don’t know about Jamryong.’
It’s an ambiguous position to be called the second best index, so let’s put it this way.
I don’t know about the sleeping dragon because I haven’t met him yet.
In the case of Gu Hee-bi.
I’ve never really stuck with it though.
It didn’t seem like I could lose to her now.
It was something that could have been done by trying it out directly.
When I asked her to stick around, I didn’t want to do it because I thought Gu Hee-bi would like it.
Of course, Shinryonggwan is not an educational institution where only the later generations come and go.
It was like some kind of tacit agreement.
It feels like an educational institution for talented young people.
Should we call it a gathering place for geniuses?
‘It’s not really martial arts, but it’s called sword training.’
To me, it was just a way to build connections and play small-scale politics.
Because countless people know this.
I guess they’re trying to send more.
It’s too late to discuss martial arts and chivalry, the direction in which the world flows has long since changed.
“Departure is in three days.”
“•••All right.”
Even though I know all that.
Not complaining much about what his father said.
There are also things you need to bring with you to this Shinryonggwan.
Because there were several people to see and several people to find.
‘I have to go to the subway.’
I had to stop by Bigodo, which was hidden underground in Shinryongwan, while I was there.

If you were going to go, you had to pack everything you needed.
Before the Heavenly Horse appears and finds the Bigo.
I had to go first and get it quietly.
‘Even so, I never thought I’d actually go to this store.’
Of course, it wasn’t easy even in my heart.
“I’ll get ready as soon as I get back to my residence.”
It’s something that’s already happened.
It’s a point where there are more reasons to go than to run away.
I decided to accept it without complaining.
“Yes. Make sure you take good care of those who are going with you.”
“Yes… I’ll take good care of it… Yes?”
I frowned for a moment at my father’s words.
“•••Who are you going to take care of… . Who else is going with you besides me?”
I asked my father with all my heart.
Then my father takes out another letter and hands it to me as if answering my question.
After receiving the letter and confirming the name.
Immediately afterwards, my expression became even more crumpled.
Three days passed.
It was still autumn.
By the time you arrive in Hanam, where Shinryonggwan is located, winter will have already arrived.
It’s winter when we hold the Yongbong branch meeting.
Since it was the time when Shinryonggwan was opening, there was a greater chance that Maengseok would not do it.
“How many pieces of luggage do you have?”
These are the words that suddenly came out as I looked at the piled up luggage.
I had much less luggage than when I went to Anhui last time.
“I heard that you don’t need to bring anything since you will be supported wherever you go.”
“I might not be able to get in there.”
“Your Majesty?”
Hongwa spits out what he is saying as if to say something strange.
The faith was really heavy.
If it were in the past, I would have thought that I would be treated like a loser and wouldn’t be able to enter.
It’s really burdensome that users’ perspectives have changed recently.
‘It’s all the same since I got that damn nickname.’
After causing a ruckus at Yongbongjihoe.
Somehow, when the servants or Sega tell me that they want me to do something.

Before, I would have said, “Oh, our loser is causing trouble again.”
From the moment you enter the group of snakes and sparrows, you will be able to see the Six Dragons and Three Peaks.
Our Confucius was looking at us with the mindset that there must be a reason for everything we do.
There’s no such thing, you guys.
“•••Alright. Prepare the rest.”
“All right.”
After Hongwa sets the example, he disappears back to work.
I looked sideways with a trembling gaze.
“You’re going too?”
Someone flinched in surprise at my question.
The voice heard afterwards.
“Yes… that’s what happened.”
The person avoiding my gaze was Gujeol-yeop.
I heard last time that this guy was going to go too.
‘You can tell at a glance that the elder took care of it.’
There wasn’t a big problem with going together.
It was convenient for me because there was a guy following me around who could run errands.
‘If it’s someone like this, he won’t fall, right?’
If it’s at the level of a pine needle, it’s not like you can’t get in.
It didn’t reach the climax by going over the wall, but it was still a first-class finish.
I guess it was worth the effort.
‘If you keep getting beaten up like that, you really need to be given a harpoon.’
If you go somewhere and get hit,
I had to give up on that because I had rushed into it without even knowing the topic and with only passion.
However, the problem was not the phrase.
Plus, there weren’t any other familiar kids.
‘Namgungbia was the only one.’
I thought that of course Mo Yong-hee would go.
Because you told me that if you go to me from time to time, you will go with me.
I knew it though.
Namgungbia, honestly, I don’t remember going to know her in my past life.
I was a bit skeptical when he said he would come to me in this life.
‘I think I’ll need it for the rest of my life.’
I think that’s what was said.
anyway.

That wasn’t the point.
“•••so.”
The back of the saddle leaf.
A person appears to be keeping his distance, as if he doesn’t want anyone to come near him.
She was the culprit who was causing me a headache, wondering what to do now.
“Sister, are you going too?”
cue,,
At my call, the girl, now a woman, turns her head.
Resembling Gu Hee-bi.
The woman who resembled Mrs. Mi more than that met my eyes only then.
“•••okay.”
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve heard that voice.
You’ve been avoiding me like crazy, but now you’re finally facing me head on.
She is my second sister.
A direct blood relative of the Gu family who would later be called the Hongyeon Sword.
It was a oral history.
