Episode 689. The world is not lived alone. (3)
“Off.”
Cheongmyeong stood up and stretched out in his seat and blinked for a moment. Then, I opened my eyes wide as I saw the sunlight coming through the window.
“W-what is it?”
morning? This can’t be happening?
But no matter how much I tried to deny it, the pouring sunlight did not disappear.
As the sun gently warms the blanket, it is so warm that I can easily fall asleep again… … .
Oh no! Not like this!
Cheongmyeong opened his mouth wide at this absurd situation.
‘I overslept?’
Who was he? It is Cheongmyeong, the plum blossom sword zone.
Of course, I am not proud to say that I have achieved the title of Plum Sword Zone through hard work and without any talent. No matter how clear it is, it doesn’t go that far. Since I had natural talent, it is true that my efforts were efficient.
But anyway, he had never been lazy since the day he first picked up the sword in order to turn his talent into skill.
however… … .
“Oversleeping?”
I? Is this me?
The pupil of Qingming caused an earthquake.
“I-I…” … .”
Laziness is a sin and laziness is a grave sin.
But I, and not the others, overslept!
“Off!”
Cheongmyeong grabbed his head and started scratching it.
“They say people become lazy when their stomachs fill up with oil! At the new table! “How can this be?”
In the past, this would have been unthinkable.
Even during the war, when I had to clearly feel the limitations of my body, I never overslept as much as I do now. Why do I oversleep now that my body is so full of energy?
Cheongmyeong jumped up from his seat and opened the window wide.
The sun wasn’t just up, it was almost in the middle of the sky.
“Heeeeeeeek!”
Whatever was wrong, it was definitely wrong. Cheongmyeong began to hastily get dressed.
“Damn it! Strangely enough, a long sentence of execution appeared in my dream! “After seeing that face, how could Iljin be any good?”
-What are you doing?
“no! “I don’t have time to play right now!”
Cheongmyeong threw on his clothes, ignoring the auditory hallucinations in his ears. Normally, I would have leisurely washed up and left, but now I didn’t even have time to wash the cat’s face.
“Euracha!”
He used his internal strength to blow away all the dust on his body and ran outside as quickly as a beam of light.
In the training hall, all of Hwasan’s disciples were already devoted to training. Even the first generation of disciples were on one side, sweating and swinging their swords.
I can’t believe I’m looking at that.
‘Sin, guilt… … .’
As a result, Cheongmyeong realized the shocking fact that there was still something left in his heart that could be called conscience.
“I’m here?”
“… … .”
“Where have you been? “I haven’t seen you all day today.”
“… … .”
“Cheongmyeong. Do some training. If you go out early in the morning every day and practice like that, will your body be able to withstand it? “How much did you do today to come here so late?”
“… … Yes?”
“Tsk tsk.”
Yoonjong clicked his tongue with a slightly worried look on his face. As I looked at the sadness in her eyes, I felt like a needle was being pricked somewhere in her heart.
“The strongest one trains the most non-stop, so the rest are so burdened that they can’t even rest!”
As Jo Geol spoke bluntly, it started to ache in my side.
‘No, why today…? … .’
If I had heard something like this on a regular basis, I would have pointed my finger at him and given him a round of admonishment. But now, the thief was on his toes, and even if he had ten mouths, he had nothing to say.
“Everyone uh… … “Did everyone come out early?”
“hmm… … . Usually, if you go out to practice at dawn, everyone comes out to practice within half an hour.”
“… … Ban Si-jin?”
“It’s like that.”
Cheongmyeong looks at those practicing with trembling eyes.
Sigh!
Every time sword and sword collided, beads of sweat sprang up from the tightly muscled body and fell pattered on the floor of the training hall. So much sweat had soaked in that the color of the floor changed.
Normally, I would have just seen the sight with pleasure, but now it felt like those sweat droplets were flying like daggers and stabbing me.
no.
In reality, the back of my neck was wet with cold sweat.
‘I should die.’
Not only the executioners, but also the members of the private dormitory training, sweating profusely like that, but lying down and sleeping alone until the sun rises in the sky.
– haha! It sucks!
“Kaaak! Noisy!”
“huh? what?”
“… … “Oh, no.”
Cheongmyeong awkwardly blurted out his words. Then he tilted his head slightly.

“But it seems like everyone is a little more extreme than usual?”
“Rather than being aggressive, it’s about working hard. “More than usual.”
“Yes?”
Just as Cheongmyeong was about to ask, Baekcheon lowered his sword and approached them, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“Whoa!”
“… … .”
Looking at the sweat forming on their faces, I felt like I could see how sincerely they were practicing.
“The event has just ended, so why are you being so drastic?”
“That’s why.”
“huh?”
Baekcheon looked at Cheongmyeong seriously and said.
“Now, there is a blind eye to heaven, and the status of volcanoes has changed from the past.”
“… … .”
“So, as you said before, those we have to deal with will also become stronger. Even if we don’t mention Jangilso and Maninbang.”
Cheongmyeong nodded.
“If I remain the same but my opponent becomes stronger, isn’t the result obvious? So I have no choice but to become stronger.”
Hearing Baekcheon’s words, Cheongmyeong looked at the training hall again with a subtle gaze.
There is no one giving instructions.
In the past, Ungeom had to use evil to train, and later, Cheongmyeong beat him up and made him do it. But now, everyone in the gym is practicing on their own without anyone raising their voice.
As I looked at the extremely serious expression on my face, I felt something tickling my fingertips.
“and… … .”
At that time, Baekcheon distorted his face and glared at Cheongmyeong.
“You train like that, but if we train less than you, we won’t be able to catch up even if we go through life!”
Then, Yu Iseol, who happened to be coming this way, nodded with a life-like expression on her face. Cheongmyeong asked with a puzzled face.
“… … “Is it that important?”
“It’s important!”
Jogeol shouted loudly.
“Honestly, I’m the best person in the world or the best person in the volcano, so I’m not interested in that!”
“… … .”
“I just need to be a little stronger than you! So, if I can put just one bamboo stick on your face, I can climb the mountain with peace of mind!”
Yoonjong and Baekcheon nodded in agreement with Jo Geol’s words.
“I think I will ascend to heaven with my fists outstretched.”
“If you achieve that level of accomplishment, I think Taesangno will come out barefoot and greet you.”
“… … .”
No, these bastards?
“A hundred years are far away!”
“A hundred years won’t take long.”
“It’s worth the investment.”
“It only takes a hundred years to hit that bastard.”
“that’s right.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes shook violently.
‘These bastards are serious.’
Those eyes are definitely not joking eyes.
No, what crime did I commit… … .
“It’s just a joke.”
“I don’t think it’s a joke?”
“Then I’m half serious.”
When Cheongmyeong was at a loss for words, Baekcheon chuckled.
“Everyone knows. “We have a lot of work to do in the future.”
“… … .”
“I don’t think you can change anything significantly by training a little more or putting in a little more effort. but… … “It’s a hundred times better than not doing anything.”
Cheongmyeong nodded silently.
“I’m just doing the best I can at my current position. “Then we will move forward little by little.”
“Watch out for the back of your head!”
“Behave properly!”
Cheongmyeong’s face was a little blank when he saw Jo Geol using a pointer and Dang Soso playing with a pointe behind him. The sound of Hwasan’s disciples devoting themselves to training rang out over and over again.
Cheongmyeong’s eyes shook slightly.
– If you run blindly, you won’t see anyone following you. Do you really think your priests don’t want to keep up with you?
‘What was it like before?’
Even at that time, the training hall was full of people practicing.
But the drops of sweat they shed were not visible to Cheongmyeong’s eyes. But not now. Their sweat is clearly visible to your eyes.
– Please delay a little.
‘execution… … .’
Was this what you wanted to say?
“… … Anyway, the nagging… … .”
“What, man?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled and slightly turned his head. It wasn’t that I was particularly emotional, but for some reason I didn’t want to show the expression I was making right now.
Cheongmyeong sighed lowly, contemplating his expression, and then looked at Hwasan Ohgeom as usual.
“If I practice like this, I will catch up well! “Well done!”
“… … But this bastard!”
Baekcheon gritted his teeth.
visor!
Soon his sword is pulled out cleanly.
“OK! Let’s learn how to practice for the first time in a while! “If I think about it, it’s been a really long time since I sparred with you!”
“Hoo?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Our Dongryong has been winning a bit lately, and his confidence is sky high. How dare you draw your sword in front of me!”
“I’m Sasuk, you bastard!”
“It’s a private residence, so it’s alive. “If it’s not Sasuk, it’s already gone.”
“OK! “Let’s have fun today!”
Baekcheon spouted fire from his eyes and rushed towards Cheongmyeong.
“I’m dying!”
“Are you going to die for that?”
The sword energy emitted by the two instantly swept everywhere.
“W-what!”
“Are you crazy?”
The disciples, startled by the sudden and violent sparring, quickly ran away to a place where the aftereffects of the sword energy could not reach.
Likewise, the remaining Ogeum leaned back and looked at the scene with his arms crossed.
“… … “It’s bloody.”
“No matter how you look at it, it’s not sparring, is it?”
“Is it okay to use that kind of punishment on your brother?”
However, even in the fierce storm of sword energy, Baekcheon and Cheongmyeong’s mouths moved without stopping.
“Today, I will sharpen your chin and take you to the top!”
“You have a big dream. “Do you think anyone can do mountain climbing?”
Let’s go!
Baekcheon’s sword was blocked by Cheongmyeong’s lightly swinging sword and bounced away.
‘hmm.’
The corner of Cheongmyeong’s mouth curled up as his wrist felt slightly cold.
‘You’ve grown a lot.’
In the past, he didn’t know. How precious are those who can cross swords like this, and those who desperately follow in his footsteps.
It was only after I lost it that I realized it.
As the hearing said, if he had looked back a little more at the death penalty at that time, the future might have changed a little.
but… … .
‘It’s all in the past.’
It leaves behind regrets but no regrets. Because there is something he must protect right now.
“Relax your wrists more! “I have no strength!”
“Aaaahhh!”
As the attack was blocked again and again, Baekcheon rushed at him with foam at the mouth. Cheongmyeong grinned.
‘Don’t worry, death penalty.’
Cheongmyeong glanced at the other Hwasan disciples watching this sparring and shouted.
“Because this time will be different!”
His sword makes colorful flowers bloom.
It was a plum blossom blooming again.
“Ah, it’s refreshing.”
Cheongmyeong smiled with a brightly polished face. Then she wiped her slightly sweaty forehead.
He looked around with a face like a hungry cat and shrugged his shoulders.
“I started moving and I’m hungry. “I’m going to eat first.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong walked away, languidly. The lightness of the steps seemed to make those who saw them feel good.
but… … There’s just one problem… … .
Those who were looking at Cheongmyeong’s back slowly turned their gaze towards the training hall.
“… … .”
Everyone sighed in unison as they looked at Baekcheon, lying on the floor, twitching slightly.
“I can’t hit you once.”
“… … “A hundred years might not be enough.”
“Walk. Move to Sasuk Medical Center.”
“… … yes.”
They were Hwasan’s disciples who once again realized that there was still a long way to go.
