203 – Two middle-aged and gymnast
A gymnasium in Seoul.
Operating under the name ＜Prime Yeonmujang＞, this is the largest and most famous private gymnasium in Dongjak-gu.
The facility is very clean and private instructors are prepared, so student holders often visit this place as a kind of academy.
Full-time professor at Seoul Holder Academy.
Professor Kim Myung-hyeon, who is now in charge of the department head of the warrior department, also visited this place often in his childhood.
A young day that was tightly united with a little bit of punch and confidence.
He sharpened his sword here, constantly training and improving his skills.
In particular, the days when he used to create his own sword method [Yoo-soo sword] and compare it with his close friend Tak Won-ho’s [wave sword method].
Looking back, I don’t think there was anything more enjoyable than that.
Having a family and becoming a father has changed a lot, but…
As much as the passion at that time.
It was Kim Myung-hyun, whom I have not yet forgotten.
“What do you think?”
By the time I was so lost in thought.
Tak Won-ho, who was polishing his sword next to him, asked.
Kim Myung-hyun said with a shallow smile.
“I thought about the past for a while.”
“Think of the old days?”
“yes. The day I practiced swordsmanship with Professor Tak at this gymnasium.”
Memories of the time when I was making the [Pasang sword method] and [The flow sword method].
It was a sign of an old, young day.
At those words, Tak Won-ho laughed.
“Are you tired of being too busy these days? For some reason, I was sentimental.”
Professor Myung-Hyun Kim.
He was the busiest professor at the recent academy, no matter what anyone said.
He, who was in charge of the ‘villain eradication operation’ and played a role in charge, could not rest even after the operation was over.
Because it was such a large-scale operation, the report was almost finished at the level of a thesis, and I spent time and cooperated with detailed investigations conducted by the government and associations.
Even though more than two months have passed since the incident, the investigation has been carried out until the New Year.
That’s how much the influence the ＜villain＞ clan has had on the country, and how great the ripple power that has destroyed it.
In particular, recently, with the strong recommendation of each professor in the warrior department and Tak Won-ho, he was inaugurated as the head of the academy warrior department…
He had one more title added to his busy schedule.
“Isn’t Professor Tak much busier?”
Tak Won-ho took another drink.
Through this incident, he emerged as the core of the academy’s management team both in name and reality.
During the operation, the incompetence of the other Tak family heirs was revealed, and even as it was revealed that there were some heirs who indirectly communicated with ＜villain＞…
The successors figured it out, and all of them went out.
In this way, Tak Won-ho became the central axis of the academy’s management team recognized by Tak Yun-jae, chairman of the foundation, and accepted by all outsiders.
It was premature to succeed the family, but at least he had all the power in the academy.
As a result, Seoul Holder Academy is finally on the path of transformation, and thanks to this, Tak Won-ho has been busy recently.
“Hmmm. It’s nice to be able to rest like this.”
“That’s right. I thought you would be tied to the academy even during vacation.”
The two of them finished all their busy academy work, and only took a break at the beginning of the year.
The place of rest is the gymnasium.
Tak Won-ho and Kim Myung-hyeon liked to talk while wielding their swords in the gymnasium.
Even when talking about the current situation, he moved his body, and even when he was chatting, his hands did not rest.
Let’s rest while practicing even when we are resting!
that was a long time ago
It was a kind of routine and slogan that came about when the two of them created their own sword techniques.
It was a part that showed how obsessed with swords these people were.
“… Did you find him?”
After finishing preparations at the gymnasium, they were in the middle of practicing swordsmanship with each other.
Kim Myung-hyun suddenly spoke up.
At that, Tak Won-ho stopped his busy movements for a moment.
that one
Turns around, but I knew who I was talking about.
“yet.”
“… You may not be able to find it.”
“You were originally like that. Even now… Even before.”
His name is Seongyeon Hwang.
He was the worst criminal who caused the ‘Gwanghwamun Mass Murder Case’ and the deputy master of the ＜Villain＞ clan that recently raided the academy.
“… … .”
Seongyeon Hwang…
To Kim Myung-hyeon and Tak Won-ho, it was an unforgettable existence.
It’s not just because he was the one who made the country go wild.
now faded past.
In the traces of more than 20 years of time…
Four young men who held swords and studied together.
This is because Hwang Seong-yeon was one of the members in that memory.
One got sick of the world and went on an adventure, and the other, Hwang Seong-yeon, became a criminal… .
That they studied swords together back then.
It was a fact that did not change over time.
“that… .”
Kim Myung-hyun, who was about to add something…
He immediately shook his head and swallowed.
Shuk- Shuk-
Then, quietly, he began to practice swordplay again.
Knowing that feeling better than anyone else, Tak Won-ho quietly followed him and swung his sword.
For a while, quite a while.
Only the sword moved in silence.
“I thought an interesting friend would come in this warrior class freshman.”
In the meantime.
Tak Won-ho brought out a new theme to evoke the atmosphere.
The subject was something that Kim Myung-hyeon also knew.
“You mean Song Do-hyeok’s younger brother?”
“hmm. Hyunah Song. No, now I should call you Song Hyun-ah holder.”
He is the direct successor of the Song family, famous for swordsmanship in Korea’s two major mountain ranges.
＜Yongkwang Sword＞ Clan Master, Song Do-hyeok’s younger sister.
Song Hyeon-ah is entering Seoul Holder Academy as a freshman.
It was a speculative article that appeared today, but it was already drawing attention throughout the holder world.
Kim Myung-hyun tilted his head and asked.
“Were you not a normal person until a few months ago?”
“I knew that too, but it seems that I woke up just then. I heard that the Dragonlight Sword Clan will soon make a shocking announcement, and I was wondering what it would be about.”
“Ohh… .”
Shuk- Shuk-
This time, Myunghyun Kim’s sword moves smoothly.
It was the exact opposite of Tak Won-ho’s swordsmanship, which moved straight and showed destructive power.
“Anyway, if Song Hyeon-ah’s holder comes in, you’ll be busy again. Following Judgment of Fire and Royal, this time, the golden jade leaf of Dragonlight Sword Road entered the warrior class… I’m going to eat some.”
pop-.
But at that point.
Kim Myung-hyeon’s movement, which was swinging his sword, naturally stopped.
And soon, as if dumbfounded, he looked at Tak Won-ho and asked.
“Why am I the only one busy? Professor Tak.”
“I will teach the second grade where Do Jae-hyun is.”
At the shameless words of Tak Won-ho, Kim Myung-hyeon’s expression is stained with resentment.
“No, where is that? Ever since you became a professor, you’ve always been in the same grade, haven’t you?”
“It is time to part ways. And shouldn’t the teacher go on the way to the disciple?”
Although the words are slick, Kim Myung-hyun knew the meaning well.
I worked hard this semester, so next semester I will have fun while teaching Do Jae-hyun.
It was Tak Won-ho who was talking about it.
“Then, I will also be in charge of the second year lecture. Master Do Jae-hyun, I did that first.”
“You are good at jokes. If the department head professor doesn’t teach, then who the hell teaches freshmen?”
“Did you entrust the chief of staff with this?”
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
From then on, Kim Myung-hyun’s point continued.
I recognized it right from the time I was entrusted with the head of the department, isn’t this the complete tyranny of the management team, I want to teach the second year too, the Song family is also famous for swordsmanship… .
The meaningless words continued, and Tak Won-ho laughed and ignored them.
It’s childish, but this was a prank played by two middle-aged close friends.
Boo-boo!
Shuk- Suss-
By the time such light swordsmanship and free conversation were shared.
Suddenly, Kim Myung-hyeon asked Tak Won-ho.
“Professor Tak, but I have a question.”
“I refuse to resign as the head of the division.”
“Not like that.”
At that, Tak Won-ho stopped his sword and turned his head.
“Whatever.”
“You know my daughter-in-law?”
“Kim Chae-eun?”
“yes.”
Kim Myung-hyun thought deeply about something and said.
“My daughter keeps smiling these days.”
“Are you laughing?”
“yes. Like when I eat, and when I rest at home. Even recently, I’ve been able to afford it, so I’m teaching a sword as a light self-defense technique… Even when he swings his sword, he just laughs.”
“… … .”
Kim Myung-hyun usually only talks about his family.
It was because he cared terribly for the only family he had left.
He was the only person he could openly talk to.
Because he was a friend, Tak Won-ho, he was able to say this.
Kim Myung-hyun tilted his head and continued.
“It’s worse when you go into your own room.”
“… room?”
“yes. Should I say it’s embarrassing? I keep making that face before entering the room, and I keep smiling when I go in and out.”
“… … .”
“Why are you doing this? Do you have any clues? Professor Tak isn’t a holder either, but he has a commoner daughter, right?”
At Kim Myung-hyeon’s question, Tak Won-ho paused for a moment.
It was because there was a bar.
After Christmas, the academy at the end of the year.
When I was buried in work…
I once went out to a nearby street to get some fresh air.
And then.
Tak Won-ho had seen Kim Chae-eun.
To be precise, Kim Chae-eun, who walks arm in arm with Do Jae-hyeon affectionately.
‘… … .’
Both of them wore masks and hoods, but Tak Won-ho, who had seen them for a long time, could recognize them at a glance.
One is the only daughter of an old friend, and the other is his only pupil…
In fact, it was even worse that I didn’t know.
and whoever sees it
It was easy to see that the two were in a romantic relationship.
“well. I don’t know either.”
So Tak Won-ho decided to protect the privacy of the two.
I don’t know the details, but Kim Chae-eun’s new behavior probably comes out of such a relationship… .
And when Kim Myung-hyeon, who cherishes her daughter dearly, finds out…
Somehow, it seemed that his quiet personality would suddenly change like a wave.
Although he uses a sword technique that deals with waves, it is best to avoid waves that are too rough.
“… Professor Tak, do you know something?”
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
“Are you trying to fool your friend of 20 years? Tell me what you know.”
“I need to practice more. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been working lately, I’m in the mood to catch up with my student.”
Tak Won-ho gritted his teeth and pretended not to know, and began to swing his sword.
… Somehow the secret is kept.
It was in a peaceful gymnasium.
