Star Instructor, Master Baek - Chapter 663

Side story episode 4. A familiar scenery

“hmm?”

Geo Sang-woong, who was writing a speech for graduates, stopped his hand and raised his head. As he looked out the door, the signs of his juniors that he felt outside of him were scattered in all directions.

“It’s been strange for a few days… … .”

Geo Sangwoong scratched his chin with his fingers and tilted his head.

The juniors were strange. It wasn’t something that happened for a day or two, but it was because they were definitely different from usual.

“… … Is it because of this too?”

Geo Sang-woong looked down at the graduate speech he had already rewritten several times and muttered.

A few days ago, I remembered being bullied by a group of juniors who came out of nowhere.

-Screw it first!

-Well, what is it, you bastards!

It was a good thing that I desperately protected my face, but my eyelids were almost bruised as black as a male cat before the graduation ceremony.

“If your children are upset about something, say it out loud. Acting foolish like kids… … .”

Geo Sang-woong guessed the reason why his juniors acted like that.

That day, Heonwon-gang helped me up after I was sprawled out on the floor due to a joint attack and asked me this bluntly.

-… … Senior, do you want to graduate?

Heonwon-gang asked the question, but everyone was paying close attention to Geo Sang-woong’s answer.

Geo Sang-woong looked around at the faces of each of his juniors and answered with a simple smile.

-That’s right. Can’t we just be students forever?

-… … It won’t work. Screw you one more time!

-hey! hey! You guys, wait a minute!

In the end, after some more arguing, I was finally able to break free from my juniors.

Geo Sang-woong was not angry about such a thing. Rather, he felt sorry and grateful to see his juniors’ shoulders slightly drooping.

This meant that the juniors were sad about their graduation. Although the way it expresses those emotions is quite extreme.

“If you are unsuitably soft-hearted… … .”

It was an assessment that most people who knew Cheongryonggomang would not agree with, but Geo Sangwoong truly thought so.

From that day on, Geo Sang-woong felt his juniors’ perspectives change. Moreover, it wasn’t just the gaze that changed.

-senior. Either eat some more of this or not.

It’s really a small thing, but there are a little more side dishes in front of you, and you are naturally excluded from cleaning or dishwashing duties.

-Oh, okay, go ahead and prepare your graduation speech.

-We will do it. Don’t worry about your seniors.

-Wash first. Or would you like me to push your back too?

-It may be a little late, but I should treat you like a senior from now on.

With the thought that Geo Sang-woong would graduate from Cheongryong Academy and leave Baekryongjang, his juniors began to show him various considerations.

I almost felt sorry for no reason. However, I didn’t necessarily take the initiative to clear up the misunderstanding.

“This might be the last time I get treated like a senior by those guys… … .”

It was time for Geo Sang-woong, who had laughed out loud, to look into the graduate speech again to edit it.

Kyaaa!

The majestic roar of a baby beast was heard outside the door, and Eun-ho, carrying a baggage as big as his own body on his back, opened the door with his front paws and came in.

“What did you bring?”

Geo Sang-woong reached out and unpacked Eun-ho’s baggage, revealing dumplings wrapped in cotton cloth.

A pleasant smile appeared on Geo Sang-woong’s lips as he saw the steaming warm dumplings.

“haha! “I was hungry at the moment, so it was good.”

When I took a big bite of one of the dumplings, thick meat juice flowed out. Eun-ho, who personally delivered the dumplings, took one of his own with his front paw and started eating it.

“I’m sure you’ll be fine with the death sentence…” … .”

Geo Sang-woong suddenly thought of Sagon.

Even now that the war with the Blood Cult was over, he still did not properly understand the relationship between White Water Dragon and Sagon.

Although I experienced unbelievable things in the world of imagination, I did not bother to find out or dig into the past of the two people.

However, there were a few things I wanted to ask Sagon when I met him again someday.

There was no need to rush. Since they are connected by the same teacher and the same martial arts, they will definitely meet again someday.

“… … “It’s already been so long.”

Geo Sang-woong looked out the window, organized his graduate speech, and stood up. Then he picked up Eunho, who was looking at him intently, and placed her on his shoulder.

“I’m going to visit the Cheongryong Academic Center. “If you’re bored, shall we go together?”

Eun-ho nodded, yawned on Geo Sang-woong’s broad, strong shoulder, dozed off, and quickly fell asleep.

Kyaaaam… … .

Geo Sang-woong quietly left Baekryongjang while listening to the soft breathing sound of the baby beast, which had already fallen into a deep sleep.

* * *

Geo Sang-woong arrived at Cheongryong Academic Center and headed straight to the student council building.

Dok Go-jun, who is busy spending the last days of his term as student council president, looked at him with a friendly attitude.

“Seniors. How are you preparing for your graduation speech?”

“It wasn’t easy. “I’ve written and deleted it several times.”

Geo Sang-woong smiled sheepishly and changed the topic. He didn’t just come to the student council for no reason.

“Anyway, what brought you here today?”

It was the day before the graduation ceremony. There was an urgent request from the student council to visit all four grades, and Geo Sang-woong did not forget to arrive, albeit a little late.

“Actually, it’s not me today… … “Soso called me because he had some business to do with his seniors.”

As soon as Dokgojun returned to the academy, he smiled and said even though he looked tired from the many things he had to handle. It was a smile that made me feel happy for some reason.

Of course, it was a smile that Geo Sang-woong could not sympathize with at all.

“… … Dangsoso? I feel uneasy for some reason… … .”

“You can go into the room over there and wait. “I guarantee you, you won’t regret it.”

“Tsk. Since my junior from Dokgo said that, I guess I’ll pretend I’m being deceived and go in.”

Geo Sang-woong entered the room that Dok Go-jun told him about without letting down his guard.

The room was quite spacious. On one side were various types of weapons, and next to them were clean and colorful military uniforms, hero guns, and leather shoes. And I also saw the fourth graders who came first.

“Geo Sangwoong!”

“Bang Baekhyun?”

A bright smile appeared on Geo Sangwoong’s lips as he found a familiar face. He walked towards his friend with long strides.

“How are you here? “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be able to come to the graduation ceremony?”

“I was able to come a day early because the staff was considerate. So I went home and my mother told me to quickly go to the student council.”

“If I had known it would be like this, you could have just given the graduation speech… … .”

“haha. I didn’t have the nerve to do that. And you are the one giving the graduate speech this year, right?”

In the past, the two young men were called the Blue Dragon Couple and had high expectations from many people.

Geo Sang-woong and Bang Baek-hyeon, who were about to graduate, playfully bumped their fists as if they were back when they were freshmen.

“… … “It’s been a while for both of you.”

At that time, a young man with a tired voice and a somewhat old-fashioned appearance approached them. This time, a smile full of joy appeared on Geo Sangwoong’s face.

“Brother Mo Hyeong-woo, it’s been a while! “What about the imperial palace?”

Mo Hyeong-woo shook his head with deep shadows under his eyes.

“… … It’s a scary place. I’m really glad and grateful that the king viewed it favorably, but… … “I don’t know if I can do well there.”

Seeing Mok Hyeong-woo’s timid appearance as if he had lost confidence, two people who were in the same grade but were much younger brothers came to comfort him.

“But you’ll do well. “Isn’t your brother an experienced worker with military experience?”

“If you’re having a hard time, quit it and come to the Murim Alliance. “There are many people in our group who view Brother Mok Hyeong-woo favorably.”

“haha… … . I don’t know if I should like this or not… … . By the way, are all the Omangnani juniors doing well?”

While the three men were chatting for a while, Dang Soso opened the door and appeared.

“Seniors. “Have you been waiting long?”

But Dangsoso was not alone. Following her, students with a strangely gloomy atmosphere came in one after another.

Each of them had a small presence and sharp eyes, so if you had encountered them without knowing, you might have thought that experienced assassins had barged in.

“Friends who came with us later… … “Aren’t you part of Papa Rock Ji (波波樂志)?”

The first person to notice their identity was Baekhyun Bang. Indeed, a member of the Murim League’s Tongcheon University and former student council president had a sharp eye.

“that’s right. Paparakji members decided to help.”

“Help?”

“The reason we gathered our seniors today is… … .”

Clap la la rock-

When Dangsoso winked, the Paparakji members began to spread out the literary materials they had brought with them on the floor.

The restrained gestures felt like a routine, so the fourth graders who did not know English flinched without realizing it.

“W-what is it?”

“you. What did you do… … .”

Tang Soso smiled and reassured his seniors.

“I want to leave a tribute to each of my seniors before the graduation ceremony.”

“No, so suddenly… … ?”

“You should have told me in advance. “I just came here without even washing.”

“At least it’s fine clothes… … .”

Fourth grade students about to graduate looked around at each other awkwardly. I was embarrassed and embarrassed to suddenly be drawn with such disfigurement.

The person who came forward at that time was Geo Sang-woong.

“Hahaha! “Sounds fun, right?”

He understood Tang Xiaoxiao’s intentions. The goal is to create one last good memory for seniors who are about to graduate.

“My junior has prepared this much for me, so I can’t leave him out. So what should I do?”

“You can take a comfortable position. “You can wear the clothes and weapons over there.”

When I wondered why there were weapons and clothes on display in one corner of the room, it seemed like they were there as props.

Geo Sang-woong asked his juniors while stroking the head of Eun-ho, who was sleeping on his shoulder.

“Is it possible for you to draw this guy too?”

“S-sure!”

“It’s actually better… … .”

Kyaaa?

Eunho woke up to the sparkling eyes looking at him.

“haha. Soso planned something interesting.”

“… … “As time passes, these memories become more precious.”

Bang Baekhyun and Mok Hyeongwoo also smiled and took their respective positions.

Bang Baek-hyeon turned his body to the side and slightly drew his sword, while Mo Hyeong-woo held his spear and took a stabbing stance that he had practiced more than anyone else over the past four years.

“Can I try on the clothes here?”

“I should have brought the team uniform worn during the Emperor Tianwu.”

“Does anyone have a copper coin?”

As the three people took the initiative, other fourth graders also waited for their turn one by one. At first it was embarrassing or awkward, but eventually everyone enjoyed the situation.

Tang Soso, who was watching this, laughed quietly and eerily.

“Hehehe. Now, I won’t have to worry if my seniors who have graduated go to the competition and get into an accident. The graduate who tarnishes the reputation of Cheongryong Academy is… … “We will hunt you down ourselves.”

“ha ha ha… … .”

“Well, let’s pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Dangsoso may say that, but his intention was probably much greater to create memories for seniors about to graduate. maybe… … .

Anyway, it was a fun time for everyone. The entire process of holding various postures, including the martial arts technique that each person enjoys using, talking about memories accumulated over the past four years, and drawing pictures of them, became new memories again.

“Then let’s all see you tomorrow!”

“They go out to drink! “Don’t be late!”

“Geo Sang-woong! “Look forward to the graduate speech tomorrow!”

The way back was already getting dark. It was winter, when the sun set quickly. Geo Sang-woong headed toward Baekryongjang with a cheerful pace, as if he were drunk even though he had not even had a drink.

Eun-ho, who was in Geo Sang-woong’s arms, stuck out his head in the chilly night air. As Eun-ho’s gaze focused on one place, Geo Sang-woong asked with a puzzled look.

“why? There’s something over there… … .”

After a while, Geo Sangwoong also discovered the outline of a person approaching in the dark. The lightly tense muscles wriggled so that they could move explosively at any time.

But after a while, Geo Sangwoong’s eyes widened and the corners of his mouth turned up.

“… … teacher!”

“Do you feel better?”

Baek Su-ryong was walking with his signature sly smile. He asked when he saw that his student was coming from the direction of Blue Dragon Hall.

“Did anything happen?”

“I’m on my way after stopping by the student council. “The party prepared something fun for the graduates.”

“… … Dangsoso?”

Geo Sang-woong had to suppress his laughter at the sight of Baek Soo-ryong being nervous. When he remembered that most of the few names that made the world’s best person nervous were in the Blue Dragon Academy, he eventually couldn’t hold it in and burst out.

“ha ha ha… … ! Oh, what about the governor and student head teacher who went with us?”

“The two went straight to the school building. Well, it’s almost as if my father was taken away.”

“teacher. “I decided to give the graduate speech.”

“… … okay? “Good.”

When Baeksu-ryong and Geosangwoong returned together, Baekryongjang immediately became noisy.

“teacher!”

“Why are you coming now!”

“What about our gift?”

“You didn’t just eat something with your senior, right?”

Baek Su-ryong shook his head at the sight of his disciples flocking in and chatting like baby birds waiting for their mother bird.

“You guys. “I’m going crazy, so let’s sit down for a moment.”

It was the scene of Baekryongjang that had become familiar to everyone over the past year. Geosang Woong took a step back from his juniors and took in the sight.

“… … .”

It finally felt real.

Tomorrow, I will have to put an end to my four years at Cheongryong Academy.
