Third-rate School Leader

Episode 13

“Why do you look so unwelcome?”

“Because there is no reason to be happy.”

“Why? Because of what happened last year?”

“Honestly, it’s not something to welcome.”

“That kid is really prickly.”

Geumdogwang, who had been smiling and saying a few words, looked toward the house and asked.

“What about Jangsan?”

“Master is not feeling well and is inside.”

“okay?”

Geumdogwang answered calmly and walked inside.

“I need to meet your master.”

Dokgo Jin only looked at it with indifferent eyes and did not stop it.

At that moment, the door opened and Mt. Ijang came into view.

“Geumdogwang, why did you come here? Knock knock, knock….”

“Oh, now you’re out.”

“Why did you come?”

Lee Jang-san urged for an answer.

I forced myself to hold back a cough. I didn’t want to look weak in front of my friends.

Geumdogwang said, raising one corner of his mouth.

“Sell us this house. We’ll pay you handsomely.”

Knock, knock… … .

The cough I had been holding in burst out.

“Wh, what the hell are you talking about?”

“I’m thinking of opening a Dongbaek Inspection Center. I think this place would be perfect.”

“Get out. I have no intention of selling the house.”

“I said I’ll pay you generously. I’ll give you one hundred and twenty nyang. But since you’re my friend, I’ll pay you twenty nyang more than I would give you.”

Lee Jang-san also knew that Geum Do-kwang’s words were right.

Before Dokgo Jin picked up the gold and silver treasures, he had looked into selling the house. At that time, the price offered by the village chief was 100 nyang. The price was given because the land was relatively large.

But now, even if they offered me two hundred nyang, let alone one hundred and twenty nyang, I had no intention of selling it.

He could be confident after watching for the past year.

Cheonhwamun would not end up as a third-rate sect with no name. It was certain that one day it would become famous in the world.

In that case, this place will become the birthplace of Cheonhwamun.

“No matter how much money you give me, I won’t sell it. So just go back.”

“Oh, don’t be stubborn and just sell it. You’re going to have to sell it anyway.”

Lee Jang-san noticed that Geum Do-kwang’s speech was strange and frowned.

“What? What do you mean? Do you have to sell it anyway?”

“We took this picture at Dongbaek Checkpoint. Here.”

“What? Who cares! Knock knock, knock….”

“I’m telling you this because you’re my friend. Sell me before the kids get hurt, Inma.”

Lee Jang-san gritted his teeth and shook his clenched fist.

Dokgo Jin saw that and took a step forward.

“Master, please go inside. Cheoksan, bring Master inside.”

“Yes, Ambassador.”

Docheoksan, who had grown bigger in size over the past year, walked towards Ijangsan with a stomping sound.

“Oh my, the adults aren’t even finished talking yet….”

As Geumdogwang spoke, he raised his hand and shook it slightly.

One of the Dongbaek Inspection Officers who had been standing at the back blocked Do Cheok-san’s front.

“Hey, Inma, the adults are talking. Get out of the way.”

Do Cheok-san glanced at Dokgo Jin.

Dokgo Jin instinctively felt that he had to make some decision here.

Are you going to fight or are you going to talk?

He made his decision in a single breath.

“Chuk-san, Master… bring him inside.”

Geumdogwang and Dongbaekgeommun are after this house. It’s clear that they won’t give up.

Even in my opinion, if Dongbaek Inspection is going to create a fountain and expand outward, this village is the best place.

And this is the only house in this village that would be fit to make a fountain.

If so, then it is something we will have to face at some point.

“These kids… Are their ears blocked….”

Another camellia swordsman stepped forward, muttering.

This time, Cheol Woo-young and Yeongho-cho stepped forward.

I’ve had countless fights with the ambassador over the past year. But I’ve broken up every single day.

As a result, I could now tell what the ambassador was trying to say just by looking at his every word or the movement of his fingers.

Now it seemed like the ambassador was determined to start a fight.

‘Come on, let’s give it a try.’

‘We are not weak anymore!’

Cheol Woo-young and Yeong-ho-cho took deep breaths and raised their air power.

I’ve never had a real fight before, but I wasn’t too worried.

The fight with Dokgo Jin was just as brutal as the actual fight.

I had been enduring such hardships for nearly a year.

“Our ambassador told us to invite Master inside.”

Cheol Woo-young, who spoke with a stern expression, stood in front of the Dongbaek Inspection Team warriors together with Yeongho-cho.

“Look at these kids? Little brats….”

The Dongbaek Inspection Team’s soldiers attacked Cheol Woo-young and Yeongho-cho while swearing.

Still, he did not take out his weapon and swung his sword.

Cheol Woo-young and Youngho Cho also faced each other with long fists.

The Dongbaek Swordsman did not even consider the Cheonhwamun disciples as their opponents.

They are just third-rate disciples the size of a rat’s tail.

However, the sweat and tears shed by the disciples of Cheonhwamun over the past year were not in vain.

Cheol Woo-young and Yeongho Cho also fought against the Dongbaek Inspection Team’s warriors with their fists instead of weapons.

The two people who turned their bodies to block the opponent’s attacks quickly and strongly counterattacked.

The Dongbaek Inspection Team warriors were taken aback by the unexpectedly strong counterattack.

On the other hand, Cheol Woo-young and Yeong Ho-cho, who had gained confidence, pushed back the Dongbaek Inspection Team soldiers who were panicking and retreating.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the two men’s attacks struck the bodies of the Dongbaek Swordsmen.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh! This dog…….”

The eyes of the Geumdo Gwang and Dongbaek Inspection Warriors widened at the unexpected situation.

But soon they came to their senses and two more jumped in.

“Where are you guys!”

“These kids…!”

Dokgo Jin didn’t stop them.

He said, still looking only at Geumdo-kwang.

“If I beat you, how about we give up here?”

Geumdogwang’s eyes went up.

‘This insolent bastard…!’

I cursed at him inside, but I didn’t say anything out loud.

It’s really annoying, but I have no right to say that. I’ve already lost once.

Still, it didn’t matter that I had to grind my teeth.

Ugh.

“Are you sure you can beat me?”

“If you don’t have confidence, drink it.”

“That arrogant tone is still there.”

At that moment, Dokongseok flew out like lightning and attacked Dokgojin.

“You little shit!”

Dokgo Jin stretched out his right hand as he watched the rushing Dokongseok.

“I don’t know about other people….”

He clenched his fist in a small circle while extending his arms.

“…You need to get some advice.”

He took a step to the side and deflected Dokongseok’s attack.

The moment of avoidance itself was so exquisite. It almost seemed as if I had just turned around by chance and avoided it.

At the same time, a swung fist struck the potter’s face.

puck-!

He was hit so hard that his face appeared to turn to the other side.

From his mouth, two yellow teeth flew into the air along with blood.

“Kueeek!”

The scream sounded like a pig being slit.

The potter’s stone, which had floated up and bounced a few inches to the side, fell to the floor.

dump.

Day after day, day after day, collapse after collapse.

The pottery stone that had fallen to the floor crawled with its eyes rolled back, scratching the floor with its fingers.

“Euuuuuu.”

Dokgo Jin glared at Dokongseok with eyes that were as cold as frost.

“What? What are you going to do with Soha? Huh! Be thankful you didn’t break your neck.”

Pubbuk! Pubbuk!

From the side, there was the sound of a water-soaked bag being knocked again.

Screams and swearing were also heard.

“Ugh! F**k….”

Dokgo Jin could tell the result just by listening to the sound. He could also tell what kind of trick Cheol Woo Young had used.

“There is no correlation between speech and skill.”

Dokgo Jin spoke in an indifferent voice and met Geum Do-kwang’s eyes.

Geumdogwang clenched and unclenched his hands.

It was a chilly day that gave me goosebumps. On days like this, my hands never sweat.

But strangely enough, my hands were sweaty.

‘Fuck!’

At that moment, Geum Do-kwang, who was looking into Dokgo Jin’s eyes, realized the reason for his incomprehensible reaction.

‘The kid’s eyes are unwavering, and he has no emotions. As if he has been through many years… countless life-and-death struggles and his emotions have become dull. How could he do that…!’

It was ridiculous.

He has been watching Dokgo Jin since he was young.

When you were nine?

Lee Jang-san brought a young child as his disciple.

He was smart and intelligent, but he was a bit timid. Because of that personality, he was later bullied by his priest, Sa Jong-hak.

Even though he knew that fact, he didn’t tell Jangsan Lee.

I plan to take it away someday when it falls off.

But the Dokgo Jin in front of me was absolutely not the same kid from back then.

‘What the hell happened to this kid?’

“Are you going to do it or not?”

Dokgo Jin asked again.

At the same time, there was a sound of a sword being drawn from the side.

Sreung!

The evil voice of Dongbaek Inspectorate’s warrior could also be heard.

“Your Majesty! Let’s just wipe these bastards out.”

You idiot! You don’t even know the situation!

Geumdogwang raised his left hand.

“Stop!”

The Dongbaek Swordsman, who was about to draw his sword and attack, hesitated.

Geumdogwang was scared that his pride would be shattered. But he was even more scared of his life being completely ruined.

The disciple, Dokongseok, is crawling on the floor… .

‘That’s the trouble the genie brought upon himself.’

He looked up into the sky for a moment, lowered his head, and spoke with a show of force in his neck.

“No matter how much I want this place… I don’t think it’s right to steal my friend’s house. Let’s go!”

The Dongbaek Swordsman, who had drawn his sword, blinked.

“Your Majesty…?”

‘Hey, you little punk. Can’t you see something strange even after looking at it with your own eyes? Can’t you see how scary this little guy is?’

Geumdogwang held back the urge to punch him and turned around.

If you want to beat Dokgo Jin, you must kill him.

If he fails to kill Dokgo Jin today, one day all the anger will fall on his own head.

But honestly, I didn’t have the confidence to kill Dokgo Jin.

No, I was scared.

So I spoke like a friend of Jangsan Lee who is like no other in the world.

“This is my friend’s house, Inma! How can you kick out a dying friend? Stop talking nonsense and do as I say! I’ll take full responsibility! Just help Seok!”

He quickly turned his head and looked into Dokgo Jin’s eyes.

This time it didn’t feel like before so it was worth facing.

“Hey, Dokgo Jin. I’m not a person who has no sense of humanity. I just can’t help it.”

Dokgo Jin, who had noticed Geum Do-kwang’s feelings, held back his laughter and spoke.

“Anyway, thank you. If I ever have to sell this house, I’ll tell the landlord to sell it to you.”

“Really? Then I’m good.”

In this way, negotiations took place between the two people.

Dokgo Jin also had no complaints.

It was fortunate that it ended like this. If a fight broke out, it was a problem whether I lost or won.

Because Dongbaek Inspection won’t stay still.

“Jangsan, see you next time.”

Geumdogwang greeted him with an awkward smile.

Lee Jang-san waved his hand with difficulty.

“Okay, go quickly. Don’t be greedy.”

“Child, get well soon. Next time I see you, let’s have a drink together.”

Geumdogwang spoke with an awkward expression and turned around.

* * *

Dongbaek Geommun’s Wind Sword Master, Gi Do-cheong, urged Geum Do-gwang, who returned empty-handed.

“Hey, Geumdo-kwang! Can’t you even handle something like that properly?! What did you learn by going to Yanggajang?!”

Geum Do-kwang made a strong excuse, as if Jang-san Lee was his best friend in the world.

“Then what can I do? I can’t just take over the house of my dying friend, right?”

The words and expressions were so earnest that even the prayer leader lowered his voice a little.

“Hey Inma, who told you to steal it? Didn’t they tell you to buy it with money?”

“What if they don’t sell it now? I don’t want to be a bad guy who takes my friend’s house by force!”

“Ahhh, this kid is really….”

“My lord, you may be able to do it, but I can’t! I can’t!”

It was then that the door opened with a bang, and a young man in blue silk robes entered the room.
