Episode 311


    The next morning.


    A ce in Changsha, Hunan Province.


    “It looks like there are roughly a hundred people.”


    “Are you surprised?”


    As I swept through the dancers lined up in rows in therge training hall, I let out a soft exmation of exmation.


    I couldn’t tell when I had developed this much power.


    There was a mix of men and women and different age groups.


    Weapons and martial arts were not unified, and individual skill differences wererge.


    Still, each and every one of them was an expert who had reached at least the highest level.


    “How did you get these people together? “There is no way an ordinary person could have been raised to this level in just three years.”


    “Among those who failed the entrance exam, I went to those who seemed to have a solid foundation and made suggestions. “I will give you the opportunity to receive guidance from outstanding experts, so please join the club in the future and be my strength.”


    “Huh.”


    “I got a lot of help from that friend Sogeolgae. “If we had not had the information power of openness, we would have faced difficulties from the beginning, let alone fostering.”


    I nodded with a smile on my face.


    If it was natural, it was a natural story.


    Even though the teacher is not the examiner, he does not have the ability to know all the personal information of the dancers who failed the entrance exam.


    In fact, the person who contributed most to recruiting and teaching them was Sogeolgae.


    [As you know, Master has excellent military power, but hees from poor background and has no power to support him. So, I hope that the elder will support you.]


    [……I’ve felt it before, but you think very much of me.] [


    If you really feel good for me, please don’t refuse my request.] [


    If you say so , [You can’t refuse it.] He


    said he didn’t know what was going on in the world, and I could feel what he was saying.


    I never thought that attaching the cow hanger to Master would have this result.


    “How do you feel? Do you think it’s useful?”


    “yes.”


    “It is stillcking, but if we refine it a little more, it will be worthy of being called elite.”


    Master was also preparing for the future in his own way.


    I felt more proud of that fact than of being able to make up for theck of personnel.


    “Did you make them take a long-acting elixir?”


    “I haven’t even been able to find the elixir yet, let alone administer it. Some of them seem to have improved their inner strength by receiving elixirs from their Segana sect, but most of them just practiced mental techniques honestly.”


    “okay.”


    “So I was going to ask you if you could provide me with a demonic altar.”


    “Of course we have to provide it. “I will cover all costs incurred as a result.”


    I slowly walked around the training ground and looked at the faces of the warriors.


    I didn’t notice it when I looked at it from the podium, but there were some familiar faces among them.


    “Warrior Pang?”


    “I meet my benefactor.”


    After Pang Gon Hu.


    A coteral blood rtive of the Hebei Peng family.


    The original owner of the mother-of-pearlcquerware left behind by Muyeongsintu.


    I never thought I’d see it like this again.


    I thought he would be living a quiet life, taking care of his sick mother with the money he received from giving me the mother-of-pearlcquerware.


    “Thanks to the help of my benefactor, I was able to sessfully treat my mother’s illness.”


    “If anyone hears that you are a benefactor, they will misunderstand. “Isn’t that payment for a formal transaction?”


    “Is there anyone in the world who would pay fifty gold coins for an old box like that?”


    “…….”


    “I may be a foolish bastard, but I don’t know that my benefactor gave me money under an appropriate justification to help me.”


    It seemed like there was a big misunderstanding.


    If he had known about the existence of the Jangbodo in the mother-of-pearlcquerware, he would never have treated me as a benefactor.


    ‘It would have been fortunate if I hadn’t been treated like a Cheolcheon supporter.’


    The warriors around me gave me envious looks as if they had discovered a saint.


    It couldn’t have been that burdensome.


    I’m big! He cleared his throat and immediately changed the topic.


    “I feel like my skills have improved greatly even though I haven’t seen him.”


    “It’s thanks to the teachings I received from outstanding instructors.”


    It’s not that he isn’t, but Peng Gonhu has be apletely different person than when I saw him in Meng’s headquarters in the past.


    The prayer that flowed implicitly was clearly different from before.


    Simply good teaching was not the reason for rapid growth.


    He must have worked hard himself.


    “After my mother recovered, I tried to join the n again with the desire to help my benefactor in any way possible. I took a total of three exams without support from my family. “The results were not good, though.”


    “…….”


    “When I realized my own limitations and was feeling discouraged, the Lord of Torekkeokdae extended his hand to me. I will give you a chance to grow. I epted it without hesitation.


    “…….”


    “I am so happy that my skills have been recognized by my benefactor, and it seems that all my training has not been in vain.”


    Unable to find the words to reply, I scratched my cheek with an awkward expression.


    I tried to change the subject, but ended up hearing something even more serious.


    Another familiar face appeared in my wandering gaze as I lost my way.


    “Warrior Yang?”


    “It’s been a while, branch manager. No, now I should call him Cheonan Inspector General.”


    “A small cooperative is enough. “It is a private affair, and above all, the warrior is not my subordinate.”


    Inhye Yang.


    A coteral blood rtive of the Shinchang family.


    Bothaam’sy disciple.


    Although he was a blood rtive of both families, he did not particrly practice spearmanship and had no enemies in the family.


    It’s just that the family he came from is the Shinchang Yang family.


    She was one of the survivors rescued from Gansu in the past.


    As soon as he recovered, he showed enthusiasm in helping other patients, which still remains in my memory.


    I heard that he lived at the Sichuan branch for a while, butter received a call from his teacher and left for Zhejiang.


    “Did you also fail the entrance exam?”


    “It’s not like that. “I just happened to find out about the existence of this training center and decided to go there with the desire to receive teachings.”


    I thought that might be the case.


    If she had put her mind to it, she would have easily passed the literacy test.


    Although she cannot be said to have great qualities, she was basically a warrior with solid fundamentals.


    The peak of maturity at the age of forty.


    Among the warriors in this training center, she was one of the most outstanding.


    “I still haven’t forgotten the grace of saving my life.”


    “It’s not like you saved your life from me.”


    “The person who gathered the martial arts people of Sacheon and formed a rescue team was none other than Sohyeop. All of the survivors, including myself, who were saved at that time, feel indebted to Sohyeop.”


    “…….”


    I could feel the heat in the eyes of the warriors around me who were looking at me.


    Perhaps it was because of my mood, but the more I exchanged greetings with familiar faces, the more their evaluation of me seemed to increase.


    In addition, there were a few people who spoke to me.


    A man I had never seen before knelt at my feet and thanked me, saying, ‘My family was saved thanks to the coboration of the Humyeonhyup,’ while five or six young men made a fuss, saying, ‘I decided to join the alliance because I admired the reputation of the Sohyeop.’ I was also shaking.


    After amotion broke out.


    After returning to the podium, I cleared my throat once and got to the point.


    “The reason I came here today is to recruit members for Cheonan Gambu.”


    “…!”


    “I think everyone knows what kind of department Cheonan Inspector General is. If you would like to apply, please raise your hand.”


    Pang Gon-hoo, Yang In-hye, and the other warriors who were ncing and observing.


    Everyone raised their hands above their heads.


    I looked slightly embarrassed by the enthusiastic response that was different from what I expected.


    Although it is said that the previous conversation increased the favorability towards me, the Cheonan Inspectorate was basically a department with a fixed period of activity.


    In short, it was a job with an unstable future.


    It wasn’t for no reason that Yu So-hwa seemed conflicted about my suggestion.


    ‘I think around eighty people raised their hands.’


    A crush was a crush and reality was reality.


    No one would want to risk their fate on an unstable job.


    What on earth did they see in me that made them react so passionately?


    “…It’s amazing. Anyway, I never thought that this many people would apply.”


    “It’s natural. Everyone here has promised to provide strength to the Thunder King. “I have to repay what I received as a human being before I became a martial artist.”


    Pang Gonhu’s answer.


    I nced sideways at Master, who was standing with his arms crossed, and burst intoughter.


    How long has it been since Ist saw such a heartwarming sight?


    I was able to see once again that Master was a person of great reputation.


    “I’m starting to worry about my stomach being full. “I’m sorry to those who supported me, but I can’t make everyone a member.”


    “…….”


    In fact, since they were suffering from a serious manpower shortage, it was okay to take all the applicants and make them members.


    However, if that were the case, the teacher who had taught them so hard would feel defeated.


    It was decided to select just 30 people and ept them as subordinates.


    “The criteria for selection will be divided into two. The first is the possessor of superior inaction. The second is someone who is more skilled in administrative work.


    There was a sense of sadness in the eyes of the applicants.


    I subtly added an afterword to encourage theirpetitive spirit.


    “Things like friendship will not be reflected in the evaluation at all. Let’s only look at skills. “I hope you show a good performance.”


    * * *


    After dering that I would take the exam in five days, I left the training center with my teacher.


    The teacher who was walking side by side said with a smile on his face.


    “Rtionships are so amazing. “I never thought there would be people who are close to you.”


    “I was just thinking about that too. But will you be okay?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Aren’t they talented people that we worked hard to develop? “If we make all the high-ranking talented people members of the Cheonan Gambu…”


    “There is no problem. If you ask me that way, didn’t you also rmend talented people to join the torpedo squad?”


    “…….”


    What is the difference between a simple rmendation and giving up the talents you have worked so hard to cultivate?


    There were plenty of things I could say to refute, but I decided not to say them out loud.


    It wasn’t that he was that oblivious.


    “From now on, if there’s anything you need my help with, don’t hesitate to tell me. “I will help you as much as I can within my power.”


    “All right. “Master, please let me know if there is anything you need help with.”


    “Of course.”


    A light conversation.


    However, the meaning contained therein was by no means light.


    The Cheonan Inspector General and the Torpedo Brigade entered into a blood pact.


    Anyone who was involved in the alliance knew what it meant for two forces to join forces whenever necessary.


    ‘Well, since the torpedo squad is not usually attached to the main unit of the alliance, it may not be easy to give or receive help.’


    As Shanxi fell into the hands of Ma Qiao, sporadic battles were taking ce on the front lines in Hebei every day.


    The torpedo squad was frequently dispatched to the battlefield under orders from the leader.


    “Now that I think about it, I see that Seong has grown a lot while I haven’t seen him. “I almost didn’t recognize it.”


    “Only the body has grown, but the mind is still a child. “You take good care of it.”


    “All right.”
