Sword Art of the Sky Demon. One of the best sword arts, and the best sword art within the Demonic Cult itself. It was created by Chun Ma, nicknad the Sky Demon, who was known for his talent in martial arts. He had risen above everyone else at the ti.
As ti passed by, many sword arts were created to counter the Sword Art of the Sky Demon, and soon the Demonic Sword of the Heavenly God was said to overpower it.
Hou Jinchang’s eyes flickered as he spoke. Yeowun’s sword movent had left a striking impression that he could not forget. Even Lee Hang was shocked to see such perfect sword movent.
‘It’s similar to the Sword Art of the Sky Demon, but it’s much more.’
Lee Hang had seen the Lord use his Sword Art multiple tis already, and thus he was able to conclude that Yeowun’s sword skill was better. Then how did Chun Yeowun learn such sword skills? There was only one possible way.
‘The pedestal!’
The pedestal in the library was known to hold secret regarding Father Chun Ma’s last finding of the truth. However, the back side of the pedestal had been destroyed, so it was left in secret. One of the forr Lords thought the pedestal was useless, so he ordered it to place it in the library as a display.
‘But the backside is damaged...’
Lee Hang had also looked at the back side of the pedestal multiple tis, but he wasn’t sure what it ant due to the marks all over it. Hou Jinchang then asked carefully, “Chief. Do you think his sword skill is from the ped...”
“Instructor Hou.”
Lee Hang cut him off.
“Keep this as a secret between you and for now.”
“...So, you are thinking of the sa thing. Yes, sir.”
Lee Hang nodded. That was the only possible way for Yeowun to have grasped the sword skill. After all, they had reached the sa conclusion. It wasn’t certain as to why Lee Hang wanted to keep this a secret, but maybe this would be better for Yeowun.
Most of the cadets dispersed to go about with their training, but not all of them had left. Two cadets were left. One was a girl who had a round and cute face, but she was taller than most of the male cadets. If it wasn’t for Ko Wanghur, she would probably be the tallest amongst all cadets remaining in front of the building.
‘Oh! She is...!’
Ko Wanghur knew her very well. She was the 222th cadet, Hou Sangwha, known to be one of the top three ranks in power out of the female cadets.
‘...Why is he blushing?’
Bakgi was curious about Ko Wanghur’s expression. Hou Sangwha walked up to Yeowun and spoke politely.
“You were great just now, Prince Chun. I didn’t think you would get Instructor Hou’s tag. Congratulations.”
“I was lucky. Thank you.”
Yeowun pretended to not notice, but he was able to guess why she had co up to him.
“Let be frank. I waited here because I want to join your team.”
After she saw Yeowun fighting against Hou Jinchang, she thought Yeowun was a worthy leader. If she beca his teammate, that would increase her chances of passing the third test. Yet Yeowun didn’t want a teammate just for the test.
“I’m s...”
Chun Yeowun tried to say this, but Sanghwa interrupted to speak first.
“Hold on. I want to ask you sothing first. Will you bring in any individual, no matter their gender, if they are talented?”
Hou Sangwha was serious. It seed like she was mindful of the fact that she was a girl. Yeowun couldn’t just answer simply, but he already had the answer since a long ti ago.
“...If a talented individual wants to join , then I have no reason not to accept. Gender or clan do not matter.”
Chun Yeowun had been discriminated and bullied for not coming from the six clans. He wanted to overthrow such things from the start.
“I see.”
Hou Sangwha then took about ten steps back and swung her wooden sword with a sword movent. Chun Yeowun, Wanghur, Bakgi, and Hu Bong all beca intrigued. She was using the Seven Demon Sword.
‘She has learned the Seven Demon Sword!’
Only a short amount of ti had passed, but she was using the skill flawlessly. Her movents were top-class.
After showing the first sword movent up to the fifth, she ca up to Yeowun again and knelt down on one knee.
“I was touched by your sacrifice that you made for your servant. You said you will accept any individual no matter their gender or clan. If you accept , I will prove that I am worthy.”
She spoke with confidence and strength. There was no reason to decline such an offer made from soone so confident and knew how to show their strength.
“My path will be treacherous and we might shed blood. Can you take that burden on yourself?”
“I wouldn’t say I wanted to join you if I wasn’t ready for that.”
Chun Yeowun then smiled and bowed.
“Thank you. Welco to my team.”
Hou Sangwha then bowed and shouted, “I, the 222nd cadet, Hou Sangwha, will pledge allegiance to Prince Chun for life.”
So, Chun Yeowun had gained the first woman cadet on his team. And there was one who was overjoyed by this event. It was Ko Wanghur. He was so happy that he couldn’t hide his joy.
“Ohh... this is awkward.”
And there was one more cadet who left. He was scrawny and had crumpled hair, and he had been excited over Yeowun’s fight more than anyone else.
“Do you have sothing to say?” Yeowun asked him. The cadet then beca hesitant, and knelt down on both knees.
“I... I want to be on your team, Prince.”
“...And why did you hesitate?”
The cadet then scratched his head and embarrassingly answered, “I have not learned the Seven Demon Sword yet... I wanted to... prove myself to you but I couldn’t find anything to show...”
