Third-rate School Leader

Episode 4

“Wow! Thank you, Ambassador!”

“I will study hard!”

Dokgo Jin smiled happily after hearing the priests’ confident answers.

‘Children. Thanks to these guys, it’s less boring.’

From that day on, the priests followed Dokgo Jin and practiced Baektasansu.

If there was anything lacking, Dokgo Jin would point it out and teach me.

The young priests found the Baektasansu training more difficult than they had thought, but their hearts were happier than ever.

Learning new martial arts.

That alone was reason enough to sweat.

On the other hand, Sajonghak found that appearance laughable.

Who teaches whom on this topic?

The Dokgo Jin he knew was a coward and weakling.

After falling off a cliff, his head went crazy and his personality changed, but he could still destroy anything he wanted.

I was shocked to hear that such a person was teaching priests.

Besides, when I looked at it briefly, it seemed like the herbivores were simple and child’s play.

He paid no attention to the priests’ training, and after breakfast he went out to the village with Yeonghocho.

Master Jangsan Lee would sometimes come out and watch his disciples practice.

He didn’t stop him even though he was learning martial arts that he hadn’t taught him.

Anyway, he couldn’t teach anymore.

If there was one more thing I could learn, I had to learn it. If I wanted to go out into the world of martial arts and survive for a long time.

Moreover, the method that Dokgo Jin was teaching felt unusual.

I thought that if the young disciples studied hard, it would be helpful when they went out into the world.

‘But where did you learn that?’

Cool, cool.

He looked puzzled, coughed, and turned away.

Every time I coughed, I saw blood on my hands, and it seemed like my health was getting worse.

‘Well, I wish I had learned it somewhere. If only I could become stronger… .’

He smiled bitterly and entered the room so as not to disturb his disciples.

‘I have to hold out until the kids grow up…’

Dokgo Jin, who was standing in the yard, sighed as he looked at the back of Jangsan Lee.

‘Haa, at this rate, I’ll have to take on the role of master as well?’

The only good thing is that teaching priests is fun in its own way.

I pushed him quite hard, and he kept up well even though he was sweating profusely and having a hard time.

‘What wonderful guys… .’

* * *

Seven days after the clash between the four schools.

That day too, Dokgo Jin practiced Baektasansu after dinner.

When he finished his training around midnight, he went into his room and used his energy to control his vital energy.

Only ten years of experience.

It was still so weak that I couldn’t even send a message. But I wasn’t disappointed and practiced the exercises at least twice a day.

But when the time came,

The door opened slowly and someone came in silently.

As I turned my head and carefully closed the door, the face of the person who opened the door was faintly visible in the moonlight.

It was a private school.

Dokgo Jin, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, did not move an inch as if he did not know that Sa Jong-hak had come in.

Sa Jong-hak chuckled at the sight.

“That stupid kid is studying the basics really hard.”

He approached Dokgo Jin, laughing in a soft voice.

“What great secret method could a low-level disciple of the shaman sect have taught you? It would be better to learn how to swing your fists and work harder to learn that.”

He stopped right in front of Dokgo Jin and fiddled with his fist in front of his chest.

“I tried to hold back as much as possible, but I can’t stand it anymore because those little shits are ignoring me.”

He chuckled again and brought his face close to Dokgo Jin, who was motionless.

“Dokgo Jin, I hate you for pretending to be good when you’re an orphan with nothing to show for it. I want to kill you. Because of you, I always get blamed.”

A fresh blue murderous look flashed in his eyes as he spoke softly, almost growling.

“So, I plan on finishing it off today, you piece of shit!”

He suddenly put strength into his fist and raised it towards Dokgo Jin’s chin.

Boohoo!

Just before his determinedly swung fist reached Dokgo Jin’s jaw, Dokgo Jin’s head automatically turned back.

Sa Jong-hak hesitated because he knew that Dokgo Jin’s head was not broken by his own fist.

“uh?”

At that moment, Dokgo Jin, with his head tilted back, fell backwards.

Then he rolled over to the side.

Dokgo Jin quickly rolled over twice and got up, hitting the floor with his left hand.

‘Whew, that almost happened.’

At the end of the exercise, someone came in.

When I heard the voice, it was Sa Jong-hak.

But he couldn’t move.

The mind method he was using was a mind method of a much more profound level than what Sajonghak thought.

The problem is that the physical condition is so poor. It is like thin ice that will crack even with the slightest touch.

Even if you suddenly stop your movement, you won’t be able to avoid serious damage.

If Sajonghak had taken action right away, he would have been helpless.

But Sa Jong-hak wasted a thousand precious hours laughing at him.

Thanks to that, I was able to dodge Sa Jong-hak’s punch just in time.

It just grazed the tip of my nose, but it wasn’t a big shock.

‘I almost got hit while sitting down.’

But there was no time to think any further. Sa Jong-hak was rushing in.

“You son of a bitch! That’s where your luck ends!”

Dokgo Jin took one step back and turned his body to the side to avoid Sa Jong-hak’s attack.

When Sa Jong-hak missed the second attack, he instinctively crouched down to prepare for the attack.

Dokgo Jin sneered at the sight.

“Why is that little boy talking so much? He wasn’t looking out for me, was he? Or is his mouth always that light? Well, I’m glad I didn’t get hit.”

“This dog is …!”

Only then did Sa Jong-hak realize what had happened and his face turned red.

“Good, damn it! To be honest, I also felt a little uneasy about beating up a guy with his eyes closed.”

“Ha! That’s funny, you punk. Did you swing your fist with all your might because you felt uneasy?”

“Die, you brat!”

Sa Jong-hak rushed in again.

This time, Dokgo Jin did not avoid it either.

It wasn’t something that could be avoided.

It was so poisonous that it could attack a person who was flying. I didn’t know when something like that would happen again.

I had to use this opportunity to break his spirit and make sure he never thought of that again.

He’s not the type of person to be easily discouraged.

“Okay! Let’s finish it today!”

Dokgo Jin waved both his hands as they faced each other.

In the darkness, the two people’s fists exchanged rapidly.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sounds of attacking and defending, hitting and being hit, also crossed over quickly.

Bam!

Sa Jong-hak’s head turned around.

“Ugh!”

Phew!

Even my waist was bent like a shrimp.

“Ugh!”

Pubbuk! Papababak!

Gulp.

Sa Jong-hak, who was in a crouching position, staggered back while covering his head with both arms and shook his head.

‘Ugh. Hey, what happened?’

Just a few days ago, when I got hit once, I got hit twice.

But today, it was difficult to hit even one when getting hit twice.

Moreover, every time I was hit, my body shook with a strong impact.

Even he, who was confident in Matt’s house, could no longer endure it and eventually had to step down.

‘How could this innocent little brat…?!’

Dokgo Jin ran towards him, who was fed up.

“Why are you backing down? You have to see it through to the end!”

‘Huh!’

The startled Sa Jong-hak instinctively stepped back, kicked open the door, and ran outside.

Dokgo Jin didn’t chase after them.

“Ha, that kid. He runs away quickly.”

I was just trying to beat him enough to not die.

Still, I didn’t regret it too much.

Even if I get kicked out, I won’t be able to act recklessly for a while.

“Ambassador!”

“Ambassador brother!”

When the priests heard that a fight had broken out, they rushed into the room.

Looking at Dokgo Jin with eyes full of worry, you and I asked each other.

“What happened a little while ago?”

“By any chance… Is Director Lee here again…?”

“But why did Director Lee run out of the house?”

Dokgo Jin spoke honestly.

“Oh, I was a little upset.”

“…….”

“It’s true, Inma.”

At that moment, something flowed out of Dokgo Jin’s nose.

As a warm feeling spread across his lips, Dokgo Jin absentmindedly licked his upper lip with his tongue.

Salty yet spicy taste.

It was coffee.

“Oh, shit….”

Was it because of the blow that grazed the tip of my nose earlier?

The priests looked at the archbishop with worried eyes as he bled profusely from his nose.

* * *

It was quiet for a while after that happened.

As if he didn’t want to run into Dokgo Jin, the student of Sajonghak, he went out right after breakfast and came back around dinner time.

Sometimes I would eat dinner out and come back late at night, and there were days when I wouldn’t come home at all.

The priests were of the opinion that it was better.

It was better than having trouble because of private studies.

It was after seven days had passed.

The sun had set and it was time for dinner, but Sajonghak and Yeonghocho had not returned.

Recently, there were days when he didn’t come in, so Jang-san Lee and his brothers didn’t think much about it.

So that day, we ended up having dinner without both of them.

That evening.

Dokgo Jin, who was practicing yoga in his room, narrowed his eyes when he heard noises outside.

It seemed like Sajonghak and Yeonghocho had arrived.

If that were all, nothing would have happened.

But then I heard a raspy sound, like the wind. It sounded like a person groaning.

‘What? Did you get hurt while going outside?’

He got up, frowning, opened the door, and went outside.

There was a man sitting next to me on the inside of the door.

“Ugh….”

The groan was the sound that came from him.

Dokgo Jin’s eyes widened when he saw him.

“Youngho Elementary School?”

Unlike Sa Jong-hak, Yeong Ho-cho didn’t drink much. He didn’t collapse because he was drunk.

Besides, he rarely groaned.

Dokgo Jin approached Youngho Elementary School and asked.

“What happened?”

Yeonghocho opened his mouth with difficulty, panting.

“In… Master’s room….”

“what?”

“Director… Hurry up….”

Dokgo Jin, who had an ominous feeling, turned around and ran to Jangsan Lee’s room.

Dokgo Jin opened the door and opened his eyes wide to see Jangsan Lee lying in the darkness.

“this!”

Startled, he ran into the room.

Lee Jang-san, who had been lying down, raised his head with difficulty.

“Is this…Jin…?”

Dokgo Jin, who had been looking at Jangsan in a hurry, carefully picked him up.

“Are you okay?”

In a rush, I tried to say, “Are you okay?” but then changed my tone.

“Ugh, put me to bed….”

Lee Jang-san said with a groan.

Dokgo Jin hugged Jangsan and laid him on the bed.

“What happened? Is it a private affair?”

Lee Jang-san made a bitter expression at Dokgo Jin’s question.

While I was reading a book, Sa Jong-hak came in.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s not something else… I have something to tell you.”

“okay?”

Jangsan Lee offered the seat without thinking too much.

“Sit down.”

“Yes, Master….”

But Sa Jong-hak, who had come closer, pretended to speak and then waved something around.

Jangsan Lee, who was hit in the head, lost consciousness and fell down.

Dokgo Jin came in just as he was coming to his senses.

Lee Jang-san turned his head, looked at the display case, and sighed.

The bottom of the display case was a mess. All the items inside had been taken out.
