Chapter: 139

Yeowun stopped and looked back curiously.

“Let me ask you something.”

“Yeah.”

“Why did you destroy his internal energy?”

After going so far, Chun Yeowun now was going to get all the fury from the Poison Clan. Yeowun answered calmly.

“...I was just let my anger out of control.”

Yeowun continued, “I was afraid that if I let him be, he would use poison on the other cadets also.”

That made Bakgi astonished. Yeowun was more worried about the other cadets being poisoned than him being blamed by the Poison Clan.

‘This guy...’

He wasn’t just a reckless fool. His decision-making wasn’t perfect, but he was still more of a leader than the other princes that Bakgi had met.

‘He’s different.’

Chun Yeowun wasn’t actually worried about other cadets. He just didn’t want to see the poison that killed his mother spreading across the academy. However, Bakgi had interpreted it as Yeowun’s noble sacrifice and began to think that Yeowun was fitting as a leader.

“What if...”

Bakgi then tried to say something to Yeowun when seven cadets came running for him. They were Yeowun’s team members.

“Master! Where were you?” Hu Bong asked with sweat over his face. The seven cadets looked like they were really worried and sighed in relief. Ko Wanghur also spoke with relief.

“We were worried that you got ambushed. I was waiting for you to come out of the private training ground.”

“Oh.”

Yeowun then remembered talking with Wanghur to go back to the dorm together after dinner time. But when Yeowun did not come out after an hour, Wanghur began searching the academy with the other members. Yeowun apologized to them.

“I’m sorry.”

“No, it is good that you are okay.”

Bakgi then looked at them and smiled bitterly.

‘He already has his own people.’

Bakgi realized that he always distanced himself from the other cadets, so even when he was a leader for the 12th group, no one followed him. Yeowun then asked Bakgi, “What were you trying to say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Bakgi shook his head and returned to his room.

When Yeowun’s team heard about what happened between him and Chun Jongsum, they became concerned. Ko Wanghur of the Demon Fist Clan was also worried about Yeowun destroying Jongsum’s internal energy. Wanghur then gave them a solution to deal with this.

“We have to grow in power for now. They cannot do anything to us while we are still attending the academy, but we are against one of the six clans of the cult. We must focus on growing in power while we can.”

Ko Wanghur was big and muscular, but he was also very intuitive and logical. Yeowun agreed with him. He had to be prepared for the Poison Clan to retaliate in any way. And unlike Wanghur, Hu Bong was worried about another issue.

“Master. I’m more worried about how the Chief will handle this issue.”

The rules of the academy didn’t state that one couldn’t destroy another’s internal power, but internal power was like a lifeline to a warrior, so they weren’t sure about what the academy would do about this issue.
