That punk still hasnt co?
Although the question was asked in passing, Ak Yeon-Ho broke out in cold sweat. The person who had asked the question was the headmaster of the Azure Dragon Academy, who was famous for intimidating even his fellow instructors, and this was the third ti he was repeating himself.
Haha, hell be here soon, Ak Yeon-Ho awkwardly laughed, even as Mae Geuk-Lyom glared daggers at him.
Mae Geuk-Lyom frowned, not liking Ak Yeon-Hos answer. Youve been saying the sa thing for a while now. Admit it, you dont even know where he is, do you?
T-That
Ak Yeon-Ho felt wronged. Why is he picking on when its his own grandson whos late! Sadly, as much as he wanted to complain, he couldnt bring himself to do it in front of the terrifying Headmaster.
Y arent you reading this at ?
He just said that hell be away for a few days due to personal reasons he stamred.
Did he run away because he lost his confidence?
No, definitely not.
Hmph, well see, Mae Geuk-Lyom snorted, then left to talk to the other prospective instructors.
Ak Yeon-Ho sighed. Things might get really dicey if he shows up late
The practical examination for new instructors at the Azure Dragon Academy had already begun. In front of Ak Yeon-Ho, the first batch of instructor applicants stood on the podium, giving a trial lecture to selected students.
Uhm, according to the principles of Taiji
Every sect has a slightly different interpretation of the Yin Yang and the Five Elents, so there are differences in how to read and understand their martial arts manuals. In this case, its best to use
The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, which disappeared centuries ago, is the predecessor of the Blood Cult. Back then, the first Blood Demon united those who opposed the Heavenly Demons decision to migrate

The instructors eagerly gave their lectures, sotis even stepping down from the podium to demonstrate their martial arts.
The students reactions, however, were generally either cold or taunting.
YAAAAWN, Im getting sleepy.
Wow, is the instructor only at that level?
Wait, what you just said. Isnt that too biased and personal?
At the sight of the unruly students, Ak Yeon-Ho gulped. Seriously, are kids these days all like this? They arent much younger than , are they? Im a little envious of them
Unlike Ak Yeon-Ho, who practiced martial arts as he was told, the students here at the Azure Dragon Academy didnt hesitate to ask questions or make rude comnts if they didnt understand or like sothing.
On the left side of the lecture hall, the Azure Dragon Academy principal, vice principal, and existing instructors busily scribbled down notes as they evaluated the new instructor applicants.
Hoo Myeong Il-Oh let go of the breath he was holding as he finished up his lecture and walked back toward Ak Yeon-Ho.
Ak Yeon-Ho handed a water canteen to him and praised, Good job, Il-Oh hyung. How do you feel?

Dont make rember it. The kids clung on to my every word as if they were going to bite my head off the instant I made a mistake, and the instructors were glaring at from the side Hey, I didnt ss up, right?
Your lecture was the best so far. Im sure the students and instructors will appreciate it, Ak Yeon-Ho said. He was exaggerating it a bit, but Myeong Il-Ohs lecture was definitely one of the more outstanding ones.
Myeong Il-Oh heaved a sigh of relief, then looked around and asked, By the way, is Baek-hyung here yet?
No. I havent seen hide nor hair of him.
I hope nothing bad happened to him. He really should have returned by now
Before they knew it, Ak Yeon-Hos turn was nearing, and Baek Su-Ryong turn was right after his. The two young n nervously looked toward the entrance of the Azure Dragon Academy.
WHOOSH
If youre seeing this, you are at the wrong place.
There was no sign of anyone, except for a dog grunting and defecating by the main entrance.
He still isnt here, huh. Mae Geuk-Lyom, who had briefly gone to check on the students, approached the two. There was a hint of disappointnt on his face, and a trace of anger in his voice.
Like father, like son, it seems Mae Geuk-Lyom mumbled, releasing a chilly aura.
The instructors who were waiting for their turn shivered.
Mae Geuk-Lyom added icily, Since he still hasnt shown up, Ill have to assu that hes not keen on the job. Candidate Baek Su-Ryong is rejected.
W-Wait a minute! Ak Yeon-Ho objected without thinking.
As Mae Geuk-Lyoms sharp gaze swept over him, he gulped and inwardly cursed, Fucking bastard, why the hell are you so late! Now I have to buy ti for you
Headmaster, Su-Ryong hyung-nim will be here soon, please just wait a little longer.
Ive heard you say that four tis, so when will he co? After the exam is over?
Ak Yeon-Ho sighed. Honestly, I dont know when hell co. Hes not a person who would run away, so sothing unexpected probably happened.
How can you be so sure? You havent known him for long.
Thats Recalling Baek Su-Ryongs shaless face as he declared that he would build the White Dragon Academy in front of the Azure Dragon Academy and surpass it in ten years if the interviewers failed him, Ak Yeon-Ho hesitated.
Im saying thisfor the future of the Azure Dragon Academy.
Y arent you reading this at ?
The future of the Azure Dragon Academy?
Su-Ryong Hyung-nim said that if you failed him, hell build the White Dragon Academy across the street from the Azure Dragon Academy, and ten years from now, his students will beat the crap out of the Azure Dragon Academy students.
Hell what?
If you disqualify him, youll know that Im telling the truth tomorrow.
BWAHAHA! Having overheard the conversation, several of the prospective instructors burst out laughing at the absurdity of Baek Su-Ryongs declaration.
Even the tightly clenched, seemingly immovable lips of Headmaster Mae Geuk-Lyom twitched. He stifled a laugh and muttered, That audacity of his is just like my daughter.
What?
Nothing.
Ak Yeon-Ho couldnt quite put a finger on Mae Geuk-Lyoms random mood swings, but it wasnt a bad sign.
In a slightly gentler tone, Mae Geuk-Lyom said, Ive already given him a lot of leeway. If he still isnt here when his turn cos, I wont have any choice but to reject welcos you.
Myeong Il-Oh walked up next to Ak Yeon-Ho and cautiously asked, A-About that, Mr. Headmaster, would it be possible to make Candidate Baek Su-Ryong the last in line?
Mae Geuk-Lyoms eyes lit up with delight even as he contradicted himself, Nonsense. Do you think take this interview for a joke?
Thats not what I ant
If you suggest sothing like that one more ti, youll be
Is there a problem? A certain soone who had been watching the exchange from afar suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned around, only to see the Three Absolutes Sword Namgoong Su and the Blazing Blade Kwak Cheol-Woo walking toward them.
Conscious of the stares he was receiving, Namgoong Su placed his hands behind his back and smiled gently, saying, The students are tired, so we decided to take a short break.
Y arent you reading this at ?
Most of the new instructor applicants looked at the Azure Dragon Academys Star Instructor with either admiration or envy.
However, Ak Yeon-Ho wasnt most people. He shot Namgoong Su a death glare even as he wondered, Why is this person here?
Namgoong Su pointedly ignored him and asked, Headmaster, are you facing any problems with these people? I was worried about the commotion, so I ca to see if you needed help.
Its nothing to worry about, Mae Geuk-Lyom replied, waving his hand dismissively. Theres an applicant who hasnt co yet, so we were just discussing whether to reject him right away or wait a bit longer
Does that applicant happen to be Baek Su-Ryong?
Yes.
Read this at , or else.
Namgoong Su smiled warmly, but an ominous chill imdiately ran down Ak Yeon-Ho and Myeong Il-Ohs spines.
Oh no, he must have had an ergency. Theres no way he ran away because he has stage fright or was afraid of embarrassing himself during his demonstration lecture
Enraged at Namgoong Sus blatant sarcasm, veins popped out from Ak Yeon-Ho, Myeong Il-Oh, and Mae Geuk-Lyoms foreheads at the sa ti.
He didnt run away.
Baek-hyung is not that kind of person.
Iagree with them, Mae Geuk-Lyom added, glaring icily at Namgoong Su.
This is a free translation. You should not be seeing ads.
That made Namgoong Su a bit flustered, he wasnt about to let that stop him from saying his mind. Hmm Then, since Candidate Baek Su-Ryong seems to have gotten involved in an accident, why dont we push his turn to the very end?
But if we do that, it wouldnt be fair Mae Geuk-Lyom objected.
Namgoong Su cut him off, saying, That is, of course, assuming that the applicant who was originally last in line agrees to it.
The pale-faced applicant in question imdiately threw his hands up in the air and exclaid, I-Im good! Ill give way! Ill give way as many tis as you want to!
With the affected party so eager, Mae Geuk-Lyom found it difficult to say anything more.
Namgoong Su had bent the whole situation to his will in an instant.
Then lets do it that way. Vice Principal, I apologize if this seems arrogant of , butperhaps we, the Azure Dragon Academy, need to show a little leniency to our applicants?
Ah, of course we should, and dont worry, Mr. Namgoong, the Principal wont care about sothing so trivial. Kwak Cheol-Woo nodded enthusiastically.
I may be the best instructor in the Azure Dragon Academybut why is Mr. Kwak, my senior, being so submissive? Namgoong Su, who had gotten his superiors approval in a flash, wondered.
He then turned around to face Ak Yeon-Ho and smiled, saying, This should be good news for Candidate Baek Su-Ryong, who didnt run away, but instead t with an ergency, right? Since weve given him this much consideration, he should be able to arrive here in ti now.
Ak Yeon-Ho didnt answer and only continued to glare at Namgoong Su. So this is what you were aiming for all along.
You ought to read this at .
If Baek Su-Ryong failed to make it on ti even after all the concessions, he would instantly be branded a coward. However, even if he did make it, he would have to give his demonstration lecture under the pressure of countless judging stares.
The later ones turn, the greater the stress.
The reason for that was because as ti passes, both the students and instructors fatigue build up from going through lecture after lecture. Accordingly, their evaluation standards would also increase.
On the flip side, if the final lecturer does a great job, then it would leave a very lasting impression
However, demonstrating such skill was difficult even for instructors who had been teaching for more than a decade.
Namgoong Su smiled wryly. Nah, theres no way a peasant who has only ever taught village children could have such skills.
Even now, he hadnt forgotten what Baek Su-Ryong had said to him during the interview.
How about I just beat you to a pulp right now?
I thought he at least had the guts to back up his words, but it seems that hes just a coward who ran away from the demonstration lecture. I absolutely wont forgive a guy like that.
Everyone at the Azure Dragon Academy will know youre a coward. Ill make sure of it. It doesnt matter if you show up late. Ill humiliate you so badly that youll never set foot in this city again.
Namgoong Su smirked. Personally, Im very much looking forward to Candidate Baek Su-Ryongs demonstration lecture. I hope he arrives on ti.
With a lingering smile on his lips, Namgoong Su turned and returned to his seat.
Read this at , or else.
Behind him, Ak Yeon-Ho, Myeong Il-Oh, and Mae Geuk-Lyom stood side by side, glaring daggers at him.
With that kind of attitude, Su-Ryong Hyung-nim will definitely co and put this guy in his place.
Yeah, Im sure he would.
Bastard grandson. If you dont get here on ti, Ill kill you myself.
Ti flew by without caring for the trios feelings, but even as the final turn drew nearer and nearer, Baek Su-Ryong did not appear.
