Episode 10
The one who most actively took up treasure hunting at Seolha’s command was Phoenix Corps Vice-Leader Yu-un.
In fact, he had already gotten his hands on several notes.
However, that game had to stop before long.
The forest had become a complete mess due to the fight between four women.
At first, he thought about intervening as a vice-leader, but somehow he was gripped by a strange premonition that he shouldn’t get involved.
Since it was a dispute between female disciples, it seemed like it would look better if Leader Seo-ryeon stepped in rather than himself.
“Hm?”
The moment Yu-un made up his mind, he saw the male disciples crouched together in a corner.
“Hmm.”
He was the Phoenix Corps Vice-Leader.
Though he hadn’t done anything as vice-leader yet, his sense of responsibility was already sky-high.
The dejected atmosphere of the male disciples drew Yu-un’s steps.
“Vice-Leader, you’ve come.”
“Please sit over here.”
When Yu-un approached, the disciples hurriedly stood up.
“No need for that. We’re all similar in age, so be comfortable.”
Yu-un casually found a spot and sat down first.
“Would you like some too, Vice-Leader?”
Baek Jin-seo still had plenty of jerky left. Taking the jerky he offered and putting it in his mouth, Yu-un asked.
“But why are you three gathered here?”
“Why else? Because of those witches over there.”
At Yun Ha-ram’s answer, Yu-un’s gaze turned forward.
“Witches?”
“Have you heard of the Three Great Witches of the Main School?”
When Yu-un shook his head, Song Mu-hyeon continued explaining.
“It’s not an official title, but more like a nickname given among the later disciples.”
“Why witches specifically?”
“Haha, well…”
Song Mu-hyeon laughed awkwardly but eventually spilled the truth.
“Since you’ll find out anyway, I’ll tell you in advance. All three of them are masters who possess considerable martial arts skills at relatively young ages. But…”
Song Mu-hyeon lowered his voice and leaned close to Yu-un.
“Every single one of them has a terrible temper.”
“Ah, so that’s why…”
“If I may add a bit.”
Yun Ha-ram joined the conversation again.
“That ghost-like girl over there is Gwi-nyeo. The one going crazy with rolled-back eyes is Gwang-nyeo. The one wielding the greatsword is Hyeol-nyeo. They say she goes berserk at the sight of blood, hence Hyeol-nyeo.”
While listening to the explanation, Yu-un suddenly tilted his head.
“But that young lady… why?”
What caught Yu-un’s eye was Yang Ha-rin.
Yang Ha-rin, spinning her spear with a bright smile, didn’t seem out of place at all among the Three Great Witches.
“Come at me! Come at me!”
Yang Ha-rin shouted while swinging her spear around.
Because Yang Ha-rin suddenly jumped into the center, the Three Great Witches momentarily stopped fighting and watched each other’s reactions.
“What are you all of a sudden?”
“Are you in the same class as us too?”
“What? Us? Who exactly are you comparing to whom right now!”
“She’s obviously not normal either, just looking at her!”
“I’m perfectly normal, you know?”
Jeon Hye-yun and Im Cheong readily admitted they weren’t normal.
On the other hand, Ma A-jin clearly drew a line between herself and them.
“What’s she saying?”
“Does she think she’s not just because she says so? Tsk tsk!”
When Jeon Hye-yun and Im Cheong clicked their tongues and mocked her, veins bulged on Ma A-jin’s forehead.
“I’m really not! So please stop lumping me together with you guys!”
“Bullshit!”
“Then why did you butt in here?”
“That’s because you two were fighting and got dust all over me too! So annoying!”
“Not everyone charges in like a dog just because they’re annoyed.”
“What? A dog?”
“Why? Should I bark for you instead?”
“Woof woof!”
Jeon Hye-yun and Im Cheong joined forces as if they were on the same side to tease Ma A-jin.
“Damn it, these bitches!”
“Not coming in? Really not coming in? Then I’m going in first? Huh? Don’t regret it! I clearly said I’m going in, right?”
As Ma A-jin’s patience reached its limit, it was ultimately Yang Ha-rin who lit the fuse.
She was itching for action but they were just having a war of words, so she had no choice.
Whoooosh!
Yang Ha-rin swung her spear at Ma A-jin, who was closest to her. Since it was a first strike, she held back somewhat.
Clang!
Befitting an outstanding later disciple of the Hyeon-ma Tak Family, Ma A-jin easily blocked Yang Ha-rin’s spear.
It was also the moment her patience completely snapped.
“Ugh! So annoying! Everyone just die except me!”
Ma A-jin couldn’t hold back anymore and thrust her sword at Yang Ha-rin.
Jeon Hye-yun targeted Ma A-jin’s back.
She smiled wickedly and swung her greatsword like a storm.
Naturally, Im Cheong couldn’t just stand still either.
Thud!
“…!”
A massive amount of dirt flew and covered Jeon Hye-yun’s face and body.
“Still not enough. Hehe! Not enough. More, more!”
Im Cheong’s long hair fluttered as she sank deep below.
“Just how long are you going to keep throwing dirt!”
“I must repay what I received. Hehe!”
This time, dirt rained down from above.
“Damn, crazy!”
Jeon Hye-yun’s body shook like a leaf.
Tremendous rage consumed her.
“Is it similar? No, a bit lacking?”
Im Cheong circled around Jeon Hye-yun, examining the dirt and leaves she was covered in.
“I’ll kill you right now!”
Dense killing intent rose from Jeon Hye-yun’s entire body. Crimson light shot from her eyes.
“Kill…”
Just as Jeon Hye-yun’s greatsword was about to cut Im Cheong in half!
Suddenly, a black shadow struck first.
“Don’t cause trouble for innocent people! You ghost!”
The owner of the shadow was Ma A-jin.
Ma A-jin, who was attacking Im Cheong, had dirt on her shoulders and parts of her hair.
“What’s that sister doing picking a fight with me?”
Yang Ha-rin, who had been complaining, suddenly pointed her spear at Jeon Hye-yun.
“How about the petite sister has a round with me instead? Huh?”
“A round my ass. You’re all dead!”
Jeon Hye-yun spun her body like a top and launched a fierce attack.
This time it was directed at multiple people, not a specific individual.
“Whoa!”
Yang Ha-rin let out an exclamation and swung her spear relentlessly to match the greatsword’s trajectory.
“The fighting is getting rougher.”
Yun Ha-ram muttered while chewing on jerky.
“At this rate, there really will be trouble like you said.”
Song Mu-hyeon watched Ma A-jin with worried eyes.
“When our big sister gets angry, no one can stop her…”
Baek Jin-seo was also restless, worried that someone might get seriously hurt.
“Gwi-nyeo is just as unstoppable.”
“You think Gwang-nyeo would be any different?”
“How did three of them end up meeting… no, is it four?”
The three men’s worried gazes naturally turned to Yu-un.
It was a simple thought that since he was the deputy leader, he might have some solution.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Did he really have a plan?
To their expectant faces, Yu-un suddenly pointed his index finger at the air.
“What…?”
The confusion lasted only a moment.
Suddenly, sharp energy poured down from the sky like arrows.
Swooooosh!
Over ten streams of sword energy struck the battlefield at terrifying speed.
Clang!
Yang Ha-rin’s spear was driven into the ground by the suddenly descending sword energy.
Clank!
Ma A-jin’s sword was also knocked away and scattered on the ground.
Clang!
Jeon Hye-yun barely managed not to drop her greatsword, but her body swayed as she lost balance from the impact.
Around Im Cheong, who was the only one without a weapon, sword energy embedded itself, restricting her movement.
In the center of that storm, Phoenix Corps Leader Seo-ryeon revealed herself.
“You little brats!”
Seo-ryeon stepped on Jeon Hye-yun’s greatsword and simultaneously kicked her in the chest.
Thud!
“Gah!”
From the powerful blow, Jeon Hye-yun flew back, hit a tree, and collapsed to the ground.
“I’ve been too lenient.”
Seo-ryeon’s form disappeared like smoke.
Where she reappeared was behind Yang Ha-rin.
“Ugh!”
Yang Ha-rin was struck in the back of her knees and slammed into the ground before she could even counterattack.
“This place.”
True to her nickname as the Divine Wind Witch, Seo-ryeon’s movements were unpredictable.
Thwack!
“Hup!”
With just one strike, Ma A-jin clutched her stomach and collapsed.
“Is amusing?”
Seo-ryeon walked steadily toward Im Cheong.
Im Cheong desperately tried to dodge, but Seo-ryeon’s fist landed precisely in her side.
“Ugh!”
Im Cheong groaned and crumpled.
The three great witches and Yang Ha-rin, who had been engaged in chaotic battle, writhed in pain and rolled on the ground together.
All of this truly happened in the blink of an eye.
“W-wow!”
Exclamations burst out from among the male disciples who had been watching from afar.
“She’s on a different level.”
“The appearance of a true witch.”
“As expected of our Leader.”
Before Seo-ryeon’s overwhelming martial prowess, they couldn’t close their mouths for a while and continued to marvel.
