Chapter: 158

“You?”

Bakgi became confused at Ko Wanghur’s decision. Bakgi had spent a few days with them and Ko Wanghur ate a lot, which was fitting for his big body. It was shocking to hear Wanghur, who ate three times more than the other cadets, to decide to skip a meal.

“Well, you are our temporary leader, so you need protection.”

He didn’t want to miss a meal, but he also thought that he needed to protect Bakgi. There was no telling what might happen because of that yellow tag. Bakgi then shook his head.

“I’m going straight to the private training room, so don’t worry. Besides, we’ll all be together when we leave the training room.”

“Yes, but...”

“It’s okay. You go ahead and eat dinner.”

Bakgi assured Ko Wanghur and headed off to the private training room. Wanghur usually made rational choices, but his temptation for a meal was so strong that he couldn’t make up his mind. Ohjong shook his head.

“Hmph. Hu Bong and I will follow him, so you go ahead and eat.”

“Oh! Will you do that?”

Wanghur brightened up instantly.

“Yeah. As you said, he is our temporary leader.”

“Thank you! Please look after Bakgi.”

Ko Wanghur then gladly moved into the cafeteria. However, Hu Bong didn’t look so happy while following Ohjong.

‘...Do my thoughts not matter?’

Hu Bong wanted to eat too.

Ohjong and Hu Bong quickly caught up to Bakgi who was walking alone toward the private training room. Bakgi looked at them weirdly.

“Didn’t you guys go to eat?”

“Well, I can skip a meal. We are here because you are our leader. We can’t let you get beaten up, you see?”

“...Well, if you are so concerned, then you won’t eat anything even if the 7th cadet returns,” Bakgi replied, and Ohjong laughed. Hu Bong frowned but followed wordlessly. It was his protest for not asking him if he wanted to eat.

“Hmph!”

Ohjong coughed and pretended as if he didn’t know. The three of them then walked toward the private training room. Bakgi had internal energy that was just a bit under the sixty-year mark, but his skills rivaled that of a master-level warrior. Therefore, he was allowed to use the wider room.

“I use the other building, so you don’t need to follow me.”

“Who knows?”

Ohjong and Hu Bong followed him until they reached the entrance. Bakgi said this wasn’t necessary, but he was thankful for such action. This was very different when he was alone in the 12th group. The three of them walked up to the front entrance of the building.

“We are here now, so you don’t... huh?”

Bakgi frowned. It was due to the fact that he sensed people around them.

“What’s going on?’

Ohjong then looked around. He recently had become a high level warrior, so he also felt the people approached from behind. Soon, people charged out from the back of the building. There were about twenty cadets.

‘Dammit...’
