◈ Episode 112. Why are you here? (3)
In the place that used to be Tiara’s hideout and has now become a meeting place for the constellations, Heukrok looked at the smartphone in his hand and made an incomprehensible expression.
Currently he is on his smartphone.
[Terrorism by the American Contractors Association! whoever?!]
“… … “You got hit?”
Because I was watching the news.
“… … .”
Of course, there was no mention anywhere in the news that the two constellations were affected.
However, it was clear that the American Contractors Association had been terrorized, and that the black and white duo had been attacked, even if their thoughts were not heard at all.
That’s why Heukrok tilted his head as if he didn’t understand at all.
“So why bother sending just those two? “It would have been better if we all just went together and ran wild.”
When Cheongahwi, who was looking at him from the side, opened his mouth, Heukrok tilted his head and answered as if he still did not understand.
“Honestly, I thought those two guys would be able to get all those magic stones without any threat.”
It was not a lie, but sincerely, Heukrok thought that those two would be able to steal goods from the Contractors Association, so he sent only those two instead of sending the entire group.
If the whole thing was inherited because of something like this, Heukrok’s plan could have been disrupted.
However, contrary to their expectations, the black and white twins were unable to complete their mission and their bodies disappeared.
Even though I sent my thoughts to the Black and White Twin Ghosts several times since yesterday, they have not responded in any way.
‘… … ‘The contractors are strong enough to handle the black and white twin demons?’
Of course, even before those two died, I knew that Hwacha and Hong Gui had been defeated by the contractor.
However, unlike guys like Hwacha and Hong Gui, the Black and White Twin Ghosts were quite strong, to the point where you wouldn’t know if they were one by one, but if they were together, you would think they were strong in their own right.
In particular, the combination of the Black Demon Eye and the White Demon Eye had a history of massacring many people in the past world over 300 years ago, or even over 300 years ago.
But they were killed in a place worse than the world it was 300 years ago?
Can’t you just complete this simple task?
“… … “Something is strange.”
Therefore, Heukrok began to suspect that something was a little wrong.
####
300 years ago, Kim Joo-hyuk opened a military service.
A military officer called Mushinmun (武神門), literally created to teach martial arts.
So why did Kim Joo-hyuk create Mushinmun?
Is Kim Joo-hyuk so kind that he shares his power without anything in return?
It wasn’t.
Or is it for Kim Joo-hyuk to gather disciples and create his own faction?
Also it wasn’t.
The reason why Kim Joo-hyuk became a military officer at that time was simply because he wanted to make money comfortably.
Of course, someone might have seen Kim Joo-hyuk like that and thought it was absurd.
Basically, being a military officer meant you could make money, but it was never comfortable.
Moreover, for Kim Joo-hyuk, who had to make sure that he finished something if he started doing something in the first place, the idea of earning money comfortably by teaching students was nothing short of nonsense.
And Kim Joo-hyuk knew that very well.
Because it didn’t make sense to not even understand one’s own personality in the first place.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk was looking much further ahead than those who were only talking about the future.
okay. If I had to elaborate, it would be the future after Kim Joo-hyuk teaches all of the students he is currently teaching.
To be more specific, Kim Joo-hyuk’s plan was this.
Now that he has created Mu Shinmun, he takes it upon himself to raise his students.
And that too, with all my passion and sincerity, without any need to teach again in the first place.
After raising his disciples to the point where they no longer went around getting beaten up, Kim Joo-hyuk planned to have those disciples take on more disciples.
Also, instead of just one person like himself, he created other military officers and made many disciples like the military officers in the ‘city’.
If it got there, Kim Joo-hyuk’s plan was no different from a success.
When the disciples started earning money by hiring other disciples, Kim Joo-hyuk’s goal was to live without doing anything with the money the disciples regularly brought him.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s goal was to work hard in the beginning and live comfortably until the day he died, so he created a newspaper in a remote place, not in the city, and began training disciples.
No, to be exact, I had already trained two disciples before, but I started training disciples in earnest after creating Mushinmun.
Dungwi, who is prostrating before his eyes, was one of Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples when he created Mushinmun.
At that time, Kim Joo-hyuk was thinking that two students were not enough for his comfortable retirement.
Although he started running the newspaper immediately, there was no income coming in from the newspaper, so he still had to go out and do various odd jobs.
And while literally doing various chores, Kim Joo-hyuk met Sosim.
The sight of a boy being sold at a low price by his parents, unable to hide the traces of wounds that were evident all over his body.
In fact, trade was natural in such a ruined world.
In the first place, where are human rights when the country has been overthrown?
The weak will just be eaten as they are.
A strong person just lives well as he is strong.
A world of survival of the fittest.
That was a word that well described the world 300 years ago, and Kim Joo-hyuk did not particularly deny that world.
Just one.
Except slaves.
I don’t know everything else, but Kim Joo-hyuk maintained a strict zero tolerance for slaves.
The reason is because Kim Joo-hyuk was also a slave.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk took the child away from his parents, who were trying to sell him off for a low price, and made him his disciple.
It was at a time when he needed more students to teach besides the ones he was teaching right now.
Of course, just teaching two people was annoying enough for Kim Joo-hyuk.

However, considering future income, Kim Joo-hyuk absolutely needed more disciples, so he took on Sosimi as his disciple.
That was how the guy currently called Dungwi became Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciple.
Kim Joo-hyuk met her after such a long time and asked her how she was doing.
What happened after he died?
Likewise, how are you doing over the past 300 years?
The guy answered very sincerely.
Regarding the first question, he said that he heard a voice just like the other disciples.
In the case of the second question, she also answered Kim Joo-hyuk’s question faithfully.
I answered-
“hmm… … . So, I think it’s been about 180 years.”
“180 years ago?”
“yes. “At that time, there was a samurai who said he was the best in swordsmanship.”
“Because there is?”
“I killed it.”
“… … ?”
“And 140 years ago… … “There was a group called ‘Jonshin’ that introduced themselves as the most powerful group in the world.”
“however?”
“Likewise, they were annihilated.”
“… … .”
When Kim Joo-hyuk stared at Tugui with a blank expression for a moment, the guy, who was still prostrating and slightly tilted his head, seemed to think for a moment and then spoke with a ‘!’ as if he knew something.
“sorry. “I told you a story from too long ago.”
“… … “Definitely a story from 140 years ago is an old story.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s agreement, Tugui seemed to think for a moment again and then spoke.
“Then it was roughly 30 to 40 years ago.”
“What is that?”
“Around that time, a group of evildoers called the Blood Lions appeared.”
“however?”
“I killed them all because they were talking about how they were the strongest in this world.”
“… … .”
“Besides that, about 10 years… … About 20 years ago, a fool with the title ‘THE ONE’ went around bragging about being the strongest, so I killed him.”
-I had a strange feeling that it was a murder report, not a current situation report.
“… … So, why did you kill those guys?”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been thinking for a moment, asked her why, and she answered as if it were very obvious.
“Those guys were so cocky. How dare you use the title ‘strongest’, which is only reserved for teachers, as you please. This is ridiculous. “Isn’t that right?”
An angry voice that can be heard even though you are wearing armor that covers your entire body.
At that moment, Kim Joo-hyuk pondered whether he had ever said such a thing 300 years ago, but quickly shook his head.
Kim Joo-hyuk at that time was a little arrogant when I think about him objectively, but he wasn’t like that.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment again and spoke.
“Wait a minute, but when you kill them like that, you mean they went around killing all the guys who said they were the strongest?”
“no.”
“Then what is it?”
“First of all, we watched as the main characters those who were promoted by others as the strongest, and if they arrogantly called themselves the strongest, they killed them.”
“… … “You had your own iron rules.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Tugui nodded and spoke.
“Still, Master, it seems like nothing has changed from before.”
“In what way?”
“I don’t think anything has changed about how kind you are.”
“… … .”
Even though he looked like he was wearing a very sharp helmet and talked like that, not only did nothing really resonate with him, but more than anything, Kim Joo-hyuk was far from gentle.
‘… … Have you ever heard of being kind?’
Still, just in case? Thinking about this, Kim Joo-hyuk thought back to 300 years ago, but quickly shook his head.
No matter how much I think about it, Kim Joo-hyuk has never heard of such a story.
Rather, the only nicknames he often heard were nicknames such as tyrant or butcher, which were very far from gentle.
Kim Joo-hyuk continued to think like that for a while, but soon erased the thought from his mind and started talking about another topic.
More specifically, a story about other disciples.
The guy listened to Kim Joo-hyuk’s story for a while and then shook his head.
“I am truly sorry for not being able to help you, Master, but I have not heard any news about the others yet.”
“okay?”
“I’m really sorry.”
Tugui bows his head as if he has no shame.
Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly realized that she hadn’t changed at all.
‘It’s really the same as the old days.’
From the attitude of taking everything seriously to the stiff tone of speech.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk smiled.
“No, it’s okay, it’s just the other kids, so you can take your time looking for them, and in fact, right now-”
He soon said that with a smile on his face.
“-It was a time when I needed you.”
