The more I become the 155th master, the more passionate I become.
Jin Ha-ryeong ordered noodles and alcohol.
She came alone, but for some reason she ordered two bowls of noodles.
Her expressionless expression and soft tone made people nervous, and neither Jeom So-i, who was taking the order, nor Seo Dae-ryong, who was sitting across from her, could look her in the eyes.
And she had a knack for finding people who weren’t nervous about her.
Our eyes met, and I caught a glimpse of something in her eyes. It must have been rare for someone to look at their own face so calmly.
But soon she turned her gaze elsewhere.
Seo Dae-ryong’s electric sound flew in.
―It’s really pretty. The women of the Jeongpa faction are really very pretty.
Seo Dae-ryong’s voice came to mind.
Although she felt Seo Dae-ryong’s eyes spying on her, she did not pay any attention to it, as if it was a familiar daily routine.
Soon, alcohol and two bowls of noodles came out.
As she was about to pour herself a drink, Seo Dae-ryong gained courage.
“I’ll pour you a drink.”
Jin Ha-ryeong stared at Seo Dae-ryong.
“There is no other meaning. “It was fate that we just sat in one place.”
However, Jin Ha-ryeong poured and drank alone without saying a word.
There was a sound of self-reproach as the world was collapsing.
―Oh, I said it in a very boring way, right? Sitting in one place was meant to be! ah! My grandfather wouldn’t have said that either.
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong asked me as he put down his drink.
“Are you going to participate in the Soryong Battle?”
He looked at her for a moment, then looked at Seo Dae-ryong and said.
“Our master is participating.”
“young master?”
“yes. “I am your servant.”
Jin Ha-ryeong looked at me and Seo Dae-ryong in turn with an expression of surprise. Seo Dae-ryong scolded me for no reason, with a look in his eyes as if he were asking if you were a master and he was a servant.
“It’s because the young guy grew a beard. Hey! “Isn’t that dirty beard confusing you?”
“I’m sorry, Master.”
Soon she started eating noodles as if she had no interest in this or that.
Seo Dae-ryong’s electric sound flew in.
-Looking at it again, it’s not good. This woman.
I laughed inwardly as I looked at Seo Dae-ryong pouting his mouth.
At that time, a man in his early thirties came into the guest room. Judging from his prayers and gait, he was a considerable expert and looked like Jin Ha-ryeong’s bodyguard.
“I’ve been looking for it for a while.”
“sit down.”
“You have to go now.”
“Sit down first. “We’re not the only ones here, right?”
The man looked us over quickly and sat down next to her.
She pushed the noodles in front of him.
“eat. “The noodles here are delicious.”
She knew this man would come to visit her and ordered two bowls of noodles.
“it’s okay.”
“I’m not okay. “Hurry up and eat.”
“yes.”
The man started eating noodles. I slurped down the noodles and quickly finished the soup.
If Ian were there, he would have said he understood the man. Guard warriors have no choice but to make it a habit to eat quickly like that.
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong said to him.
“If you eat it that fast, you’ll die from your insides before you get stabbed to death.”
“I am okay.”
“You’re okay. “It’s always because I’m not okay.”
The man stood up and urged her on.
“You must go now. “He must be looking for you.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Jin Ha-ryeong finished his drink, stood up, and went outside with the man.
As she disappeared into the distance, Seo Dae-ryong said with faint eyes.
“I came here as if by fate and left after eating only noodles.”
“I heard you didn’t like it when you saw it again?”
“It’s just my narrow-mindedness, but that doesn’t mean she’s ugly. “Of all the women I’ve seen here, she’s the prettiest.”
“She can’t do that.”
“why? I can’t look like a servant, right? Yes?”
“No matter how much I grow my beard, I cannot hide my identity as a master.”
“Why Mr. Gakju?”
“Because the love between the Heavenly Demon’s son and the Murim Lord’s granddaughter is such a fateful love.”
Seo Dae-ryong was surprised to hear that she was the granddaughter of the Murim lord.
“You’re the Murim Lord’s granddaughter?”
“As I said, I’m the type of person who can’t do anything if I don’t get first place. “If you don’t go out, you won’t go out. If you go out, you have to do your best.”
Where could Seo Dae-ryong’s pulpit have appeared? I guess my personality was created because of this hard work.
Seo Dae-ryong won the match the next day.
“Are you saying you didn’t even watch my match?”
“There is an interesting matchup on another off-stage.”
“Who? “You’re not the Murim Lord’s granddaughter, are you?”
“that’s right.”
This time, I watched Jin Ha-ryeong’s match. Considering Seo Dae-ryong’s skills, he might have to face her. Of course, it wouldn’t be right away because the groups were different, but if I became the winner of the group and advanced to the finals, I could face her.
And there was a more important reason to care about her. She was the target and center of the conspiracy planned by this Cheonmyeonghoe. She will definitely be the conduit that connects me to them.
“And what if I meet a strong enemy?”
“Would you have just gone? I went to see who the opponent was. “You won by attacking the left loophole, right?”
“uh? “How did you know?”
“I saw him walking.”
It relieved Seo Dae-ryong’s feelings of admiration. Because this is my moment to admire him.
“Does it feel good to win?”
“Honestly, it’s awesome!”
“Good job.”
Seo Dae-ryong could not hide the joy on his face.
“Do you know when you feel the best? Surprisingly, it wasn’t the moment of defeating the opponent. The best time was when I finished dancing and came off the stage. I was more nervous and excited at that moment when people looked at me, cheered and applauded me. “This time I realized why I am a person who is very conscious of what other people think.”
“The more expert you become, the more people will want to look at you, right?”
“Is that possible?”
“why? Do you think it will become more gentle? Becoming more humble?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Suppose someone becomes the best person in the world. The moment you become the best person in the world, will you like the fact that you beat the existing best person in the world? Or would it be better if from that day on, everyone respected and looked up to me as the best person in the world?”
Imagine going somewhere and shouting, ‘The best person in the world is coming!’ Imagine that everyone you meet looks at you with respect and envy. Imagine always hearing the drums of victory and applause and cheers.
“Everyone’s heart is the same. No, the more you become an expert, the hotter and more primal your desire may become. The greatest person in the world has a broader heart? Is that really true? I am the best person in the world and you treat me like this? Are you confident you won’t fall into this trap? “Do you have the confidence to bury that pettiness that you no longer have to hide?”
After a moment, Seo Dae-ryong spoke.
“But you’re not Gakju, right? “You won’t, right?”
“Why do you think I’m not? Am I not a person? Same. “I’m trying not to.”
“I feel so good having this conversation with Mr. Gakju. I feel like I have finally become truly unmanned. I wonder when I’ve ever felt my heart pounding like this. “I sincerely apologize for insisting that I would not participate in this competition.”
However, our Seo Dae-ryong’s mind changed the next day.
“I almost died! It’s not just that I almost died, I really almost died! Ugh, I told you I wouldn’t! “I want to go back!”
“It was scratched. are you okay.”
“You got scratched? Can’t you see this blood? Oh, if I hadn’t narrowly avoided it, I would have had a hole this big in my shoulder! “The sword was so big.”
“Your opponent can’t even get up right now.”
The opponent who had seen the blood on Seo Dae-ryong’s shoulder was unconscious and still unable to come to his senses.
“I don’t know. Please send me home! “I’m going to go water the flower pots!”
Seo Dae-ryong, who was like this, felt better again the next day.
Seo Dae-ryong was receiving the attention he wanted even from off-stage.
Even though he was just walking, there were many eyes glancing at him. They even whispered among themselves.
“What is this?”
“Yesterday, that guy was the favorite to win the Hwangja Group. “Thanks to you, you also became one of the people receiving attention in this competition.”
It brought all the attention to the opponent who had a hard time defeating it yesterday.
“Don’t look at that blue dress on the right. He looked at me twice. Ah, I see you again.”
“No matter what, walk a little faster, right?”
Seo Dae-ryong was moving slowly, enjoying everyone’s attention.
“ah! “The women on the far left seem to be buzzing while looking at me.”
“To me, it looks like they are discussing what to eat.”
At that time, a young woman wearing a sword rushed over and greeted Seo Dae-ryong.
“I enjoyed the game yesterday. Fight well today too.”
I nodded and left.
Seo Dae-ryong froze and stared blankly at her back.
“Mr. Footnote.”
“why?”
“Aren’t you paying people money to buy something to make you feel better?”
“Considering how proud you are, I would like to say yes, but no.”
“Really not? “This really feels like a dream.”
Seo Daeryong was really happy. I think it was the first time that a woman came first and expressed this kind of interest.
I wanted him to enjoy this joy and excitement. He will never forget the dance here.
I hope Seo Dae-ryong will sit his grandson on his lap and tell him stories about those days. The story begins with, ‘It may be hard to believe, but this grandfather is young.’
“Let’s go! To win!”
Was it because of the woman’s support?
Seo Dae-ryong continued to win and easily won the royal group and advanced to the finals. Now, the finals were a competition in which the top players from each group gathered together to compete.
“I’m going all the way!”
Seodaeryong was on fire independently of his mission. Yes, it is a moment that will come only a few times in life. This will be a more thrilling, exciting, and valuable moment than becoming the best person in the world when you get older. Yes, burn brightly, great dragon.
