The fifth elder, Hang Soyou, didn’t look all that excited as she watched Chun Yeowun being carried away. The amount of blood he threw out was proof that he had taken heavy damage. Lee Hang soon walked up to her.
“You went too far.”
“W-what are you talking about?”
“You almost killed him.”
After she acquired the musical wave skill, she had never seen a person take that much damage. It almost made her think that her attack skill had increased in damage. She beca embarrassed at Hang’s words and asked, “He... did he really not have any internal energy?”
She felt much better as she knew that her attack worked, but it was impossible to withstand her attack for so long without internal energy, which she couldn’t believe. Hang shook his head.
“No. None.”
“What?”
“He has no internal energy. He kept his oath.”
“That can’t be... how can one withstand my attack without any internal energy?”
Only about thirty students withstood her attack, and even so of those were down on their knees or vomiting from enduring so much. Moreover, those students had internal energy.
“He should’ve passed out a long ti ago.”
“He already had taken internal damage for quite so ti. It was his will that kept him standing.”
“His will? You think that makes sense?”
“...It is beyond our imagination.”
It almost made Hang want to take him in as his apprentice if he wasn’t a bastard son of the Lord. However, Hang was a realist. He had no intention of taking on such a controversial individual as his own apprentice.
“HAHA! That’s interesting. He just endured it, huh?”
Right Guardian Subng spoke amicably although he usually paid no interest in other matters. Hang answered annoyingly, “It’s none of your business. Go away and drink all you want.”
“Bah, I was going anyway without you speaking to , redhead.”
“Drunkard.”
“Puny girl.”
Subng spat and walked away from the stage. They were both guardians, but they didn’t get along very well.
“Well, either way, he did not have any internal energy and there is no problem. And for what you did... it will be reported to the Lord.”
“...Understood.”
Hang Soyu was still unconvinced, but she couldn’t say anything further because of the warning she had received already.
‘The Left Guardian will never side with that lowly peasant.’
She then walked away and Hang turned to the students crawling on the training ground.
“Ugh... what should I do now?”
He couldn’t continue onto the next step with this situation.
Behind the training ground was the main building of the academy. On the second floor was the first aid room, and Baek Jongng, the apprentice of the Baek Jongwu, was here. He had just gotten into the office from the orders of his teacher last night. He was excited to see as many patients as possible within the academy to gain more experience.
That’s when soone began banging on the door.
“Doctor! Patients!”
“Already? Co in!”
He had not seen that many patients recently since all the giant Wulin forces were busy training their forr warriors and they were in tis of peace.
‘This academy is great!’
He was eager at the thought of seeing many patients. As the door opened, two academy staff ca in with the patient. It was Chun Yeowun who was drenched in blood.
“What! What kind of test puts a man in such a state?!”
This much blood could only co from fatal sword injuries. The staff mbers shook their heads and answered, “He has taken serious internal damage. He does not have any internal energy so Left Guardian has asked for you to take special care of him.”
“THIS is from internal damage?”
It had been ten years since he was the apprentice of the famous doctor of the Demonic Cult. He had seen many patients, but he had never seen that much blood from a patient with internal injuries.
“Well, he’s all yours now. We’ll be on our way.”
“Oh, okay.”
The staff knew that they had things to do and that they were needed so they quickly ca out of the room. However, one of the staff mbers stopped curiously. Another staff, who was his superior, scolded him on the spot.
“We’re busy! Co on!”
“Uh, hm. It’s nothing.”
He felt that Chun Yeowun looked much better when he put him down on the bed, but he shook his thoughts away. After the staff was gone, Baek Jongng sat next to Yeowun and began checking on him.
“Hmm...”
Yeowun then opened his eyes slightly and looked at Jongng. It felt so painful when he was at the training ground, but the self-healing had healed him enough to allow him to get back up.
‘I didn’t think of this..’
He realized this as he was being carried up to the dical room, so he ordered Nano to stop healing him. He just focused on healing his painful throat and neck and decided to let everything stay as is until the doctor worked on him.
“Irregular and fast heartbeat... he must have taken a huge amount of internal damage.”
Jongng made the conclusion after checking Yeowun. However, it was still weird to have let out so much blood.
“Not even biting a tongue can do this.”
Jongng then walked over to his desk to get so needles when soone burst into his office.
“Oh! My!”
Jongng was shocked that he fell to the ground on his butt. He turned to the man who had walked in. It was a middle-aged man with a red nose and a bottle of liquor.
“Right Guardian?”
“Huh? Why are you here?”
“And why are YOU here? I thought you should be at the ceremony?”
“Hah, so are you the doctor of the academy this ti?”
Subng didn’t respond to Jongng and just kept asking his own questions. Jongng sighed as he knew Subng was this kind of man.
“A little one ca to the big league then, eh?”
“Ugh. So, why are you here? I hope it isn’t YOU who got hurt?”
“...Oh, is that sarcasm?”
“Hahaha, of course not.”
Subng then looked away from Jongng and turned to the bed. He then smiled with interest.
“Oh? Look at this brat. Interesting kid.”
“W-what? What’s going on?”
Subng then walked up to Chun Yeowun who was on the bed. Yeowun beca frustrated.
‘W-what? Why is he here all of a sudden?’
He felt panicked that the Right Guardian himself had co up to the office, thinking that he might have noticed that he was acting all along.
‘...Dammit.’
The terrible stench of alcohol and breath bothered him.
“Why are you pretending to be asleep?”
Yeowun felt his heart sink and flinched. Then, an unknown force pulled him up from the bed. He couldn’t move as he hadn’t been healed yet, but the internal energy sent by Subng pinned him straight up.
“If you keep pretending, I’ll smack you.”
Yeowun had to wake up. He then saw the drunk man who had been on the stage. Yeowun frowned and retorted, “How did you know?”
Subng laughed, flashing his yellowed teeth.
“Hahahaha! Aren’t you an interesting one?”
Subng laughed for quite a bit and continued, “Any experienced warrior can see through you if you are awake or not just by listening to your breath, kid.”
