Chapter: 200
Yeowun bowed in the end. The cadets then began to mumble to themselves and they began to leave one by one. Those cadets who just wanted to join for the test left without hesitation. Unlike what was expected in the beginning, not that many decided to leave. A total of twenty-six cadets still stayed behind.
508th cadet Yu Paran who knelt on one knee bowed to speak.
“I wanted to join at first just for the test, but I changed my mind after listening to you. Please take me in.”
And it wasn’t only Yu Paran. A total of eight cadets changed their minds after listening to Yeowun.
‘God... is that Mun Ku?’
Ja Wumin was shocked to see one of the remaining cadets. It was 408th cadet Mun Ku who was from the Dragon Fist Clan. Mun Ku was the leader of the group that Ja Wumin was in during the 2nd test, so he knew him. He didn’t know that Mun Ku was here as he silently stayed in the middle of the other cadets.
‘Why is he here?’
Mun Ku was one of the top ten powerful cadets in the academy.
‘Why doesn’t he have a yellow tag?’
This didn’t make sense. Mun Ku was already an experienced master level warrior who should have gotten a yellow tag. Mun Ku then came up to Yeowun and asked, “Prince Chun, can I speak to you?”
‘Mun Ku?’
Yeowun had also noticed him during one of the tests, so knew who he was. However, Mun Ku was limping when he got up.
“You have six tags, right?”
Yeowun nodded. Mun Ku then raised his eyebrows and spoke with anger and bitterness.
“One of them is mine.”
Yeowun frowned at such a weird claim. Mun Ku continued, “My tag was taken by Chun Yuchan of the Blade Clan.”
Mun Ku then began to explain what had happened to him. He had taken the yellow tag on the third day, but Yuchan came to him and told him to join his group.
‘I’m sorry. I don’t side with anyone.’
Mun Ku refused but Yuchan approached him two more times to ask him to join. Mun Ku still declined the offer.
“He then asked me to duel.”
Yuchan insisted and didn’t back down, and at last Mun Ku lost the duel. Yuchan broke his left leg and right arm and threatened him to join Yuchan’s team if he didn’t want to fail the test.
“Mad bastard.”
Bakgi spat as he listened to Mun Ku’s story.
“I was going to get revenge on him after I joined some other group and... and...”
Mun Ku teared up.
“No one wants me with my broken arm and leg!”
He thought he would be able to join the others since he was still a master-level warrior, but the other group leaders refused him coldly, saying that Mun Ku would need to heal first.
“One group accepted me, but I was cast out after an hour. I later found out that Chun Yuchan sent one of his men to tell other groups to not take me in.”
Mun Ku then became angry at someone for the first time in his life.
“So, I wanted to get revenge as soon as I healed up... I didn’t care about the third test anymore... and that’s when I heard what you did.”
