Mubong Cheon.
This is a character who has never appeared in the original work.
He is one of the first generation strongmen and has achieved many achievements to leave his name in history.
I don’t know why he didn’t appear directly in the main story, but he was mentioned a few times.
[ His battles are beautiful. ]
[ Judgment, magical power, physical ability, skill and technique. A character that has reached its peak. ]
[ A person who has reached the end of martial arts. ]
Everyone who met Cheon Mu-bong had admiration and respect for his strength.
Decades have passed since I retired from active duty.
His body was senile.
But the experience and knowledge he has. They have been fused and developed further over the years.
So…
The essence of nothingness, ‘muri’, was unfolding in my body right now.
Pishun-
I see an arrow flying between my eyes. I thought I should avoid it, but my body didn’t move.
Cheonmubong’s magical power restrained my body.
At the moment I thought I should avoid it, it was my arm that moved.
Arms moved, palms outstretched toward the arrows flying by.
The moment the arrow collided with the palm, magic flowed over the palm like water.
‘Crazy…… !’
From noble mtl dot com
I couldn’t understand the current situation even after seeing it with my own eyes.
‘I thought I was holding an arrow… under. What a crazy man.’
The arrow shot by Cynthia was flying towards her. In addition to the speed she shot, the power generated by Cheonmu-bong moving my body was also added.
‘Sia’s magical power and strength are close to that of a mid-level hero, but she sent them back using only her magical power?’
“… Bout!”
Cynthia looked so flustered that her eyes twinkled, but she calmly drew her bow once more and she fired an arrow.
She then struck an arrow that was flying at her.
This could also be called an art, but… Seeing Cheon Mu-bong’s ridiculous ability, I wasn’t very impressed.
“Huh… Feel so good. I thought I was going to avoid it, but to hit it and explode it… If I could give you one piece of advice, I would say that judgment is not very good.”
“… May I ask why?”
“Try shooting again. Let me show you.”
Cynthia and I kept quite a distance.
She nodded and fired her arrow again at her.
An arrow flew towards me. Like the last time, just before the arrow hit, Cheonmu-bong stretched out his hand, let out magic energy, redirected the arrow and sent it back to Cynthia.
“Ha!”
And Cynthia, too, shot her bow and tried to subdue the arrows that were flying towards me.
But… The moment the two arrows collided, the trajectory of the two arrows changed.
“…… !”
Pick! Pick! Two arrows crossed each other and stuck to the floor and the wall.
“With magic… No, no. When returning the arrows from the beginning, they added rotational force to the arrows so that they deflected the moment they collided.”
Cheon Mu-bong nodded at Cynthia’s answer.
“You have good eyes. In this way, if you change the direction of the force just a little, you can make it deviate, and if you infuse it with magic power, you can maximize the direction of that force.”
He grinned as if he liked Cynthia’s talent and moved his mana to loosen the muscles in my body.
It was a strange feeling.
Is it like getting a massage while still?
‘Um… I have nothing to do. Maybe it’ll be better than I thought?’
I regretted this idea after a while.
… sh*t.
“hahahaha! Feel so good! Uncharacteristically for an archer, you are also excellent at close combat!”
Before she knew it, Cynthia’s body approached her, and her body threw her fist at her.
Cynthia lifted her knee to block her blow, kicking me with her foot opposite her and pulling me back behind her.
“I guess I have to do it a little better. Seongjin-ah, it may hurt a little, but bear with it.”
“Yes? What is that….”
Magical power wrapped around his body. At the same time, the view changed.
Wood Deuk- Wood Deuk!
“Turn it off!”
Her muscles rapidly repeated contraction and relaxation, exchanging sums with Cynthia at a tremendous speed.
‘Sir… Baal….’
Woodeuk wooddeuk wooddeuk-
Beep beep beep-
My body wasn’t flexible, so I took a dodging action and my muscles were cramping.
Muscles that are not normally used are moving, and the muscles are moving to a range beyond the limit, so there was no way I was fine.
Me and Cynthia’s bodies stopped while exchanging sums at the bloody sound.
I heard Cheon Mu-bong’s voice from the side.
“Uh… hmm… Are you okay, Sungjin?”
“… Just go ahead. You can drink the potion later.”
“I got it. If it’s hard, tell me.”
“I’ll put up with it somehow, so just roll it… Compared to the old days, this is a nobleman.”
“Chuck. Good. Seongjin, you guys have grown up before you know it. Good night. Then go right Sia. You’d better be prepared.”
I shouldn’t have said this.
Listening to Cheon Mu-bong’s back story, I realized it.
“Today, I will make sure to embody the basics of the flow of power. Even this much will be of great help for tomorrow’s exam.”
Mu-bong Cheon manipulated my body with magic and showed off all kinds of skills.
Rather than using a large amount of magic, he used a small amount of magic and little strength to deal with Sia with minimal force.
At the same time, the muscles begged to die.
If I didn’t treat this, I felt like I would become a real idiot.
‘… Do whatever the f*ck you want.’
Because I tried to display the skills of the awakened people with the inflexible civilian body and the body of an ordinary person, it was natural that subordinates came to my body.
It was while enduring the muscle tearing pain.
Wood Deud Deude Deuk!
A tremendous pain has been overwhelmed and the view is dark.

“Uh… ? Hey, did your eyes turn upside down?”
Cynthia stepped away from her, she said. Han Seong-jin’s eyes showed only the whites.
“Ugh. You are down now.”
“Yes?”
“Ah. Nothing. The words came out in vain.”
Mu-bong Cheon inadvertently put his thoughts into words.
‘Sungjin is this guy… One mental strength is awesome. I deliberately rolled it hard to stun you, but can you survive this? Huh…. I’ve felt this for a long time, but if I had just awakened, I would have become a mercenary or a hero. It’s a pity.’
From the beginning, he put forward Han Seong-jin as a pinch hitter with the intention of knocking him out.
It was to have a conversation with Cynthia alone.
You might say it’s too much, but… Considering that Han Seong-jin was protecting Cynthia, it was an inevitable prescription.
‘Anyway… I didn’t want to go this far either… It can’t be helped because Seongjin won’t give you a chance to talk with Shia alone.’
Mu-bong Cheon checked the condition of Seong-jin Han.
It was possible to understand simply by taking a quick glance. How much her muscles are damaged and where are the badly injured parts.
And Han Seong-jin was injured at a level that could only be cured with a potion. She said she was not seriously injured.
“Fortunately, you seem to have passed out. Let’s see the potion… Here you are.”
Mu-bong Cheon took out an advanced potion he was carrying and fed it to Seong-jin Han. There won’t be any problem with this.
“That… Are you okay?”
“I used an advanced potion, so there should be no problem. Don’t worry too much I was so excited that Seongjin just rolled her body.”
“Whew….”
As soon as she heard that Han Seong-jin was okay, Cynthia let out a sigh of relief.
“… I’m sorry for me.”
“Kuhm… no. Seong-jin will help you too, so you won’t think badly of it.”
“Is that so?”
“Sure.”
Mu-bong Cheon saw the pure face of Cynthia, and his heart felt heavy for no reason.
‘Sungjin completely passed out… Then, can I just get rid of the guys next to me?’
He glared at those who were Han Seong-jin’s bodyguards and who acted as his eyes and ears.
– Go.
– Yes?
-Do you want to search?
– No… Seniors, I still have my role….
-Do you want to go or just go?
-… I’ll just go. Still, promise me that you won’t harm me.
-Why are you saying the obvious? I won’t risk my life to cause problems with Sungjin, so go.
-Then, I’ll wait outside the building.
– I wonder.
Cheon Moo-bong bluffed the one who looked like the strongest among the bodyguards. He gave a warning with a shot of mana, and he went in very well.
He used his magical power to create a curtain to prevent sound from leaking out, but it was a measure that he didn’t know.
“Hey….”
After kicking out the bodyguards, Cynthia was crouching down, staring at Han Seong-jin.
Looking at the expression on her face, she was full of regret.
‘You’re a very kind-hearted kid, which is rare these days.
Although he had only seen one side of her, Cheon Mu-bong guessed Cynthia’s personality based on his experience.
“Siya. Would you like to talk for a moment?”
“Ah, yes.”
“First of all, I have to say I’m sorry for being a jerk….”
Chen Mu-feng openly opened his heart.
“Actually, I know that you two are not dating.”
“Ah, ah… that….”
“I felt that you liked Sungjin. But Seong-jin must be the problem for her.”
“… Yes.”
“Sungjin probably likes you too.”
“… Really?”
“How many years have I seen him… Besides, he’s a guy who doesn’t even talk well unless he’s open-minded. He has changed a bit since coming to Korea, but he hasn’t changed much. It’s been like that since before. In that respect… I was quite surprised to see you hanging out.”
Chun Mu-bong saw Han Seong-jin as someone who was always preoccupied with something. He was obsessed with something, and he didn’t care about anything else.
He didn’t care much about human relationships either. He had only a few people close to him. The rest is just a shallow relationship formed by money.
“Do you remember when I said earlier that Seongjin was like a son?”
“Yes.”
Cynthia nodded her head.
“When I say like a son, it means that this guy is not my son. Isn’t it different just by looking at the last name? It’s not something I would say when Seongjin passed out… This guy grew up alone without parents. Maybe that’s why his personality is a bit rough. I picked him up and took care of him. So even though there was no blood involved, he felt like a son. Of course, Sia, you are someone’s precious daughter, but….”
“Ah… I am an orphan too.”
“Kuhm… I’m sorry.”
From noble mtl dot com
“No.”
It was only then that Mu-bong Cheon remembered that Cynthia was an orphan. I saw her while researching… She had forgotten for a moment.
“Anyway, I am saying this because I have something to ask of you.
“… She had heard about Seong-jin’s ideal type before. Although she is a bit old. Now that I see her, that’s exactly what she looks like.”
“If you were just a little taller, would it fit?”
“Huh? How did you know that?”
“… Uh… No, I asked my brother.”
Cynthia reluctantly changed her title because she thought it was okay to say that she was an uncle here. She
She’s never been able to call her Mister.
“But… I heard that you’re just like me and I’m not?”
“They look so similar, how could they? Seong-jin doesn’t know what he really is, so she’s like that… She was that kind of guy from the beginning. In that respect… I hope you will listen to my one request.”
“Yes!”
Mu-bong Cheon wanted Seong-jin Han to live well.
But taking advantage of others was not in his temper. He said frankly.
It may be too much interference. It could be an old man’s home book. However, he sincerely thought of Han Seong-jin.
She doesn’t deliberately try to get along. However, it only floats.
“It would be nice if Shia would actively express her feelings to Seongjin, even if only until you have a heart. It’s not that she’s usually dull, she doesn’t understand even when people around her talk… I’ll make sure to compensate you for that time. And it’s not coercion, so if you don’t feel like it, it’s okay to refuse.”
“I’ve decided. I am….”
Cynthia listened to Illien’s advice, who just woke up, and she followed his words.
“I am serious. Father! I will make you mine!”
“… Ha ha ha! Okay. You’re a father It feels like having a daughter.”
“It feels good to have a father, too. Lol.”
Mu-bong Cheon opened the subspace and put something out.
Then he reached out to Cynthia.
“Ha ha ha. This is a gift for my new daughter. I hope you will accept it.”
“Thank you!”
