Chapter 254
I stared at the old man, not knowing what was going on.
He coughed in vain and stood up from his seat.
The other elders then all bowed their heads in respect.
"Today is indeed a day of joy and celebration. For my apprentice, Eugene, has created a new Aura technique."
Huh?
"And he has fulfilled one of the requirements for election to the office of Elder. Therefore, I have gathered you all here as witnesses.
No, wait.
"Will Eugene take the test to become an Elder of our Aura Order?"
I've actually created a new skill and caused all of this?
A million thoughts start racing through my head.
I'm going to be an elder? I mean, I'm a first apprentice, or a direct line, or an heir, but I don't think I've ever been an elder.
Or am I even old enough to deserve the title of Elder in the first place?
I have no idea.
I guess I'll just have to ask.
"I have a question."
"Yes, this may have come out of the blue for you, what do you want to know?"
"What are the benefits of being that..elder?"
The most important part is this.
What would I get from being an elder?
It was unlikely that the old man would ask me to do anything that would harm me, but I should know this for sure.
"Heh, heh, that's a question very much like you. Yes, what are the benefits of being an elder? Perhaps it would be better for the other elders to explain that to you. Let the six elders take turns."
The elders gathered here now numbered about six.
The elder with the Chinese character for ' (six) on his chest stood up first and spoke.
"I am recognized wherever I go, as I am an elder of the Budokan, the best martial arts school in Korea."
The other elders nodded simultaneously at his words.
It was the elder with the character ' (five) who spoke next.
"I've gotten a good loan."
"Eh, that's right!"
"Well, is it a merit?"
"It's a merit!"
It's like a forced first-class credit rating.
It's kind of bland, isn't it?
It's not necessarily a benefit to me, butI guess it's a big benefit in a way. Yeah.
Next up, the elder with the character "" (four).
"The Elders have a better understanding of Aura than the other disciples. By sharing their opinions with each other, they can see their own progress improve."
Elder ' (three).
"Just being an Elder in the Budokan is a great career move, and even the most powerful people in the world don't treat us lightly."
In other words, it's an elevation in status, but it's a small advantage for me, who is known to the world as the direct disciple of Master Kwak Chun-sik.
This time, Elder '(two), who stood next to the old man, spoke up.
"It's convenient when borrowing artifacts and equipment from the Martial Hall, since you won't be rejected."
Oh, this is definitely an advantage.
So the last person to speak is Elder (one)?
TLN: Im sure most of you read CN cultivation novels and understood that the elders of Budokan are the same as sect elders in cultivation novels (First Elder, Second Elder and so on.)
Standing in front of me, he stroked his long beard, his expression solemn up until now, and pondered.
Then he slowly put it on. Read latest novels at novelhall.com
"No one can touch us."
No one can touch us.
Wasn't that what the Third Elder just said?
"Technically, if any of our elders are threatened or their honor is tarnished, we will work together to make them pay. That's why we've never been challenged or insulted by anyone, hehehe!"
The elders begin to nod in agreement with First Elder words.
"That's for sure."
"Who are we, men or women, heh heh heh!"
It's a little tough for once, isn't it?
"Do you know how many Elders we have in total?"
"What? How many elders are there? You said earlier that there were up to six elders."
"Originally, there were eight elders."
"?"
"There were eight."
"No, then why are there now.?"
They were people who did not agree with the opinion of the Grandmaster. As the saying goes, if you dont like the temple, leave the temple, if it doesnt match the opinion of the Grandmaster, the origin of Aura style and the owner of the martial arts hall, the best idea is for the person who disagrees to leave.
"Soleft because of me."
"No, because they didn't agree with you."
"Ah yes."
This is definitely because of me.
No, you're excommunicating the elders just to get me in? Two of them?
How serious is he?
I cautiously turned my gaze to the old man and saw the corners of his mouth curling upward.
Frightening man.
"So, all the elders here today have unanimously agreed that you are the new elder. Congratulations, you've already passed two stages!"
Nah, that's just standing still on the board.
Well, bullshit on my part.
"By the way, aren't you afraid of the other elders?"
"Umm. What do you mean?"
In the end, couldnt the position of elder disappear with just one word?
The reason why no group treats its executives carelessly it's because other executives might see it and think that it could be them someday but to officially kick out other elders, I knew there would be repercussions.
However, the First Elder looked at me as if to say, "What are you talking about?
"Do you think the title of Elder' is appropriate for those who have offended the Grandmaster's feelings?"
"Ah."
I had forgotten that most of the people in the Budokan worshiped Kwak Chun-sik.
It was practically a cult.
"Now that you've passed the second one, there's only the third and final gateway left."
" I'm ready, please tell me."
I wasn't so nervous anymore.
I thought that Mr. Kwak Chun-sik must have done something special this time.
"The third gateway is to demonstrate your original technique in front of us. It's the most fundamental requirement for becoming an elder, so you can't let us down."
Would they still take the third test seriously? The gazes of the other elders and the old man turned sharply toward me.
"We'll make sure to live up to their expectations."
"Hmph! That's a good determination, thenmaster. What will you do?"
"What can I do? It's Eugene's skill, not anyone else's, so I have to accept it."
Kwak Chun-sik jumped up from his seat with a shout and ran toward me.
"Come on, let's try the technique you invented."
His gait and tone were so intimidating that it made my hands and feet stiffen.
He even exuded the intention that he sincerely wanted me to come.

I began to spec up in an instant.
"Even you can get hurt."
I let out a loud laugh at my words.
"Hahaha, my disciple could say such a cute thing."
The old man suddenly wiped the smile off his face.
" Well, then I guess I should take it a little more seriously."
He said with a frighteningly cold expression.
"Come."
