Chapter 264. I’ll Handle That
While Ha Mu-baek was focused on the affairs of the Namgung Family.
Time at Gyoryong Hall flowed just the same.
The cadets of Waryong Corps Twentieth Group were sweating day by day in preparation for the Hatuji.
That much.
They were getting stronger.
Maengryong Corps Seventh Group, and Twentieth Group.
All of them were devoted to teaching and training them.
“How did it turn out?”
Dan Mok Un-rae muttered while looking at the eastern sky.
“What?”
Dang Jin-san’s question.
“The Instructor, Ji-hu, and Ji-yu.”
After people from Ji-hu and Ji-yu’s family came to Gyoryong Hall.
Their atmosphere seemed to become strange, then they suddenly left.
Ha Mu-baek went with them too.
They probably went to the Namgung Family.
What was happening there?
“You worry about everything. What kind of person is he?”
Then a voice suddenly spoke up.
It was Baek Ri-pyeong.
His eyes showed firm trust in Ha Mu-baek.
“That’s true.”
Dan Mok Un-rae quickly agreed with those words.
Right, what kind of person was their instructor?
Wasn’t he someone who seemed to know no impossibilities?
No, was he even human?
A person who made one have such doubts.
***
“I said I’d go easy on them since it was kids fighting. Then I won’t interfere in kids’ fights.”
Gu So-so’s eyes blazed bright blue with venom.
After Cheol Ryeong finished his wall-facing meditation and came out.
Gu So-so didn’t leave Gyoryong Hall. Rather, she dug deep into the circumstances.
And Gu So-so learned all the circumstances.
Ha Mu-baek.
The kids that bastard who wasn’t worth chewing up and spitting out was in charge of were Maengryong Corps second-year Seventh Group.
And the ones who had a match with the group her son belonged to were the trash of Waryong Corps first-year Twentieth Group.
But what was wagered was those Maengryong Corps Seventh Group bastards.
They said they could order around those bastards Ha Mu-baek was in charge of however they wanted for the entire second half.
He was someone who got so involved in children’s affairs.
What would his feelings be if the children he taught ended up in that state?
Since he had said those words himself, he wouldn’t be able to interfere in that fight.
What was it called, Hatuji?
She would show him a lesson then.
So now Gu So-so was supporting the cadets of Waryong Corps First Group with all her heart and strength along with Gu Tan-gil.
Spirit medicines, weapons, and even training.
She even brought in the Iron Armor Cavalry from Cheolgi Workshop.
Intensive training that suddenly began at an unusual time.
Naturally, the cadets of Waryong Corps First Group rebelled.
Byeok I-gyeom, Tak Mu-jeon, Gong Gu-pae, Hwa Bo-myeong.
Were they ordinary people?
They looked down on Waryong Corps Twentieth Group, and their pride in themselves was tremendous.
There was no way such people would train in preparation for Hatuji.
However.
Gu So-so’s fierce blue momentum.
Gu Tan-gil who stepped forward with that momentum.
Because of those two people, they had no choice but to be worked to the bone.
Waryong Corps First Group rolling around while cursing inwardly.
They couldn’t even dream of heading to pleasure houses on rest days.
“Didn’t you say there’s a kid with quite fair beauty in Maengryong Corps Seventh Group? That child would probably be better than No Ryu-jang-hwa from the pleasure house, right?”
This remark from Gu So-so also lit a fire in the hearts of Waryong Corps First Group cadets.
“Fuck, what the hell are we doing?”
During a brief rest after rolling around in the training ground for a while.
While Gu So-so and Gu Tan-gil were away.
Byeok I-gyeom spat out rough curses.
And he glared at Cheol Ryeong.
“Stupid bastard. What kind of mess is this for us because you did something useless?”
Byeok I-gyeom’s reproach.
Cheol Ryeong glared back at Byeok I-gyeom.
“Who was the bastard that brought this useless bet?”
At Cheol Ryeong’s words, Byeok I-gyeom’s face twisted hideously.
“Didn’t we all agree to it?”
“Bullshit.”
The atmosphere between the two became increasingly hostile.
But the remaining three didn’t seem inclined to stop them.
They had no choice.
It was Byeok I-gyeom who brought the bet.
It was Cheol Ryeong who brought his uncle and mother to create this mess.
Both were disagreeable to the remaining three.
“Stupid bastards…”
Tak Mu-jeon muttered.
Gong Gu-pae and Hwa Bo-myeong nodded at those words.
Byeok I-gyeom and Cheol Ryeong’s heads snapped around.
The five glared at each other with blazing eyes.
“Fuck. You guys sure gobble up the spirit medicines they give you well. Really.”
When Cheol Ryeong spat out curses as if displeased.
“You all seem to have energy to spare.”
Then a voice was heard.
The five’s bodies stiffened.
They had no choice.
It was someone more frightening than Gu Tan-gil, more than Gu So-so.
Cheol Ryeong couldn’t understand at all why that person was here.
When Cheol Ryeong first saw that person, he thought his uncle and mother had gone insane.
To call that person for such a trivial matter.
The one who appeared leading twenty Iron Armor Cavalry.
Gun Mu-han.
The greatest master of the Iron Weapon Guild and commander of the Iron Armor Cavalry.
Why on earth would he come to Gyoryong Hall because of the cadets’ bet?
It was far too excessive.
Regardless of Cheol Ryeong’s thoughts.
Gun Mu-han gave his all.
“Since you have enough strength to fight each other like that, I can have expectations, right?”
Gun Mu-han’s heavy voice.
At those words, the faces of the five cadets turned deathly pale.
***
Han Seol-bing was on the roof of the academy.
The place where Ha Mu-baek often climbed to look out over Gyoryong Hall.
Han Seol-bing’s gaze from that spot was directed toward the Waryong 1st Group training ground.
The Iron Weapon Guild was seriously putting the Waryong 1st Group cadets through their paces.
They even used various elixirs.
Using them on Cheol Ryeong, who was the Iron Weapon Guild Master’s nephew, was understandable.
But they fed elixirs to the other four as well.
“Why are those bastards acting like that?”
Han Seol-bing muttered as if she couldn’t understand.
How shocked she had been when Gun Mu-han appeared.
She had witnessed firsthand the power of the Iron Armor Cavalry he led in the last war.
Han Seol-bing never dreamed that things had escalated this much because of Gu So-so’s grudge against Ha Mu-baek.
However.
“This puts our kids at too much of a disadvantage. And Dan-ju isn’t here in this situation.”
She had intended to leave it to the cadets alone.
But if things turned out like this.
It was no longer a children’s fight.
Now it had become an adults’ fight.
Maengryong Seventh Group wasn’t her assigned cadets.
But she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
She thought that Ha Mu-baek had left his post trusting that she was at Gyoryong Hall.
“Wait. It seems like I’m always just cleaning up after Dan-ju…”
Han Seol-bing chuckled softly after muttering that.
So what if that’s the case, what does it matter?
She would end up doing it anyway.
Han Seol-bing, who had been watching the Waryong 1st Group for several days, finally moved.
Considering the time left until summer break, she wondered if it was too late.
But she had faith that Ha Mu-baek would come up with some amazing plan when he returned.
“Oh, Instructor Han?”
The Maengryong Seventh Group and Waryong 20th Group cadets, who were concentrating on training, focused their attention on Han Seol-bing who suddenly appeared.
“You’ll be in big trouble if you keep doing this.”
“Pardon?”
Dang Jin-san tilted his head and asked.
“The Waryong 1st Group kids. Do you know what they’re doing right now?”
Han Seol-bing’s question.
“Well, I heard the Iron Weapon Guild is properly supporting them.”
True to being Maengryong’s information source, Dang Jin-san was aware of their movements.
“Right. But is it okay for you to be doing this?”
At Han Seol-bing’s question, Dang Jin-san shrugged his shoulders.
“Still, what can we do? Instructor Ha isn’t here either. We have to do our best with what we can.”
At Dang Jin-san’s calm words, Han Seol-bing frowned.
“This isn’t the time to say such things. What did you bet in your wager?”
“Our second half of the year?”
At Dang Jin-san’s answer, Han Seol-bing sighed and shook her head.
Then she pointed at Yeon Ha-min with her finger.
“Ha-min. You bet Yeon Ha-min!”
Han Seol-bing shouted angrily.
“Seongdo Hwahwa Prince Dang Jin-san!”
Han Seol-bing mentioned Dang Jin-san’s nickname from his delinquent days.
Dang Jin-san quietly looked at Han Seol-bing.
“You should know how those bastards will use that bet condition, right? If she has to serve them as they please for the entire second half?”
Dang Jin-san hung his head low.
He knew.
Of course he knew.
He also knew the lustful gleam in those bastards’ eyes at the time.
“Then you shouldn’t be picky about means and methods. What kind of comfortable nonsense are you spouting!”
At Han Seol-bing’s scolding, Dang Jin-san hung his head even lower.
Since it was a situation he had created.
He had nothing to say in response.
“Last year’s Summer Tournament. How did you prepare for it?”
Han Seol-bing wasn’t at Gyoryong Hall then.
So she needed to know that first.
Yeon Ha-min spoke in a gentle voice, telling the story of a year ago in detail.
After hearing everything, Han Seol-bing nodded.
“Good. Then Maengryong 20th Group, Seventh Group, and Waryong 20th Group will have joint training.”
Han Seol-bing made that decision.
“What? Even Waryong?”
Since they had different supervising instructors.
A question about whether it would be possible.
“I’ll handle that.”
“Um, then what about Maengryong group training?”
Dan Mok Un-rae’s question.
It was training that Han Seol-bing was responsible for now that Ha Mu-baek was away.
“What are the other instructors there for? Those people are instructors too. And Instructor Ha will take responsibility for other parts. Since Instructor Ha is the one who left his post without permission.”
With those words, Han Seol-bing disappeared.
She went to have a showdown with the Academy Director.
Peng Do-yul had no choice but to accept Han Seol-bing’s request.
Since he hadn’t prevented the Iron Weapon Guild’s intervention, he had no justification to refuse her request.
So that afternoon.
Maengryong second-year Seventh Group and 20th Group.
Waryong first-year 20th Group.
These twelve people.
Left Gyoryong Hall.
Their destination was Moklan Mountain in the Daebyeol Mountain Range.
This is where the Hatuje will be held.
The morning of the first day of June.
Ha Mu-baek returned to Gyoryong Hall.
With twenty days remaining until the summer solstice.
“Hm? What’s this?”
The moment he entered Gyoryong Hall, Ha Mu-baek could tell.
Many people were missing.
All of Maengryong Corps 7th Unit and 20th Unit that he was in charge of.
And Waryong Corps first-year 20th Unit was also absent.
Han Seol-bing was also gone.
“Did Seol-bing make a move?”
That was the only thing he could think of.
She wouldn’t have just moved without reason.
Since she was an instructor affiliated with Gyoryong Hall, she would have followed proper procedures.
In the end, if he went to find Academy Director Peng Do-yul, he would learn the full story.
“Well, it’s probably because of those bastards.”
Ha Mu-baek’s gaze turned toward the training ground of Waryong Corps first-year 1st Unit.
The ki sense of those gathered there.
Gu Tan-gil and Gu So-so, whom he thought would have left long ago, were there.
In addition to them.
“Gun Mu-han…”
A comrade-in-arms from the last war.
Due to the nature of the military groups they each led, they had fought on different battlefields.
But sometimes they encountered each other.
At those times, he had admired the power of the Iron Armor Cavalry.
A situation where children’s fights had become adult fights.
Ha Mu-baek went to find Peng Do-yul.
“You’ve come?”
Peng Do-yul greeted Ha Mu-baek calmly.
Now.
He showed signs of having adapted to the human called Ha Mu-baek.
Peng Do-yul personally brought out a teacup.
“What about Namgung Ji-hu and Namgung Ji-yu?”
This was because there had been no news of their return.
“They probably won’t be able to return in the first half. Oh, and those two changed their names. To Namgung Hu and Namgung Yu.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s answer, Peng Do-yul made a subtle expression.
He too knew the rules regarding names in the Namgung Family.
The difference between two characters and one character.
Rumors about the incident that occurred at the Namgung Family Estate had not yet spread.
That was natural.
Since it was something that happened in the inner courtyard of the Namgung Family Estate.
The people of Hefei only knew that something had happened at the Namgung Family Estate.
They didn’t know what that something was.
“It seems there were complicated matters.”
Ha Mu-baek nodded at Peng Do-yul’s words.
“Where did Seol-bing go?”
Ha Mu-baek’s follow-up question.
As if he had expected this question, Peng Do-yul answered with a calm face.
“She went to Moklan Mountain. Because children’s fights became adult fights.”
“As expected…”
“You’ll go too, won’t you?”
Peng Do-yul asked as if it were obvious.
Ha Mu-baek nodded.
Since the other side had come out in earnest, he too had to step forward in earnest.
“Then what about Maengryong Corps’ group training? With one instructor also leaving.”
Ha Mu-baek hesitated.
Since it was his responsibility.
“I’ll take a look at the situation first.”
“I’m counting on you.”
At Peng Do-yul’s request, Ha Mu-baek nodded and stood up from his seat.
Group training was in the afternoon.
Ha Mu-baek first headed to the academy rooftop.
To check how those bastards were being taught at Cheolgi Workshop and what level their skills had reached.
