Chapter: 214
Ko Wanghur and Hou Sangwha had become master-level warriors since they didn’t slack off on their own training when the team training was over.
“Thank you, Master.”
Hou Sangwha was glad that she had become a master-level warrior. She was now the second master-level girl cadet.
“This isn’t enough. I will do my best to be the First Sword of the master.”
Ko Wanghur was not satisfied however. The words from Wanghur ignited a weird competition between cadets.
‘First Sword?’
‘Hm...’
With an increasing number of cadets, they began ranking themselves unofficially. One of the members of Bakgi’s group, Yi Chan, spoke out.
“I’m not trying to offend anyone, but I think the First Sword title fits my leader Bakgi, or Mun Ku better.”
“Yes. They are stronger in terms of power.”
Cadets from Bakgi’s group agreed and Wanghur’s members began to respond.
“Wanghur is strong enough to claim that! I’m offended, thank you.”
“He can be the Second, or Third Sword.”
“What?!”
Members began to speak up with their thoughts, arguing with each other. This made all the group leaders surprised. Yeowun then heard Che Takim’s telepathic message through his ears.
[I expected this would happen as you have many who follow you, but it was faster than I expected. Master, its time for you to decide on the ranking of these members.]
‘Hm...’
[Loyalty is good, but the cult relies on power. You have to keep that in mind.]
Yeowun nodded at Takim’s message. It seemed like it was time for Yeowun to clear out the ranks, as that was needed for an organization to function properly.
‘What should I do?’
The best thing to do was to have everyone duel against each other since that was the Demonic Cult’s tradition, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to duel against one another since the third test was just around the corner. He couldn’t let anyone get hurt in the process. Yeowun thought for a while and finally made a decision.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
He didn’t speak loudly, but every cadet became silent at once. Yeowun’s influence over the seventy-one cadets was commendable. When everyone became silent, Yeowun began to speak.
“I have heard your opinions. I think it is time for me to appoint our ranks. Do you all agree?”
“Yes, sir!”
The cadets answered in unison. They also became curious as to how Yeowun would decide on these ranks. Obviously, some members were more powerful than others, and they would most likely stand in front of the other members.
“Six people.”
‘Six?’
The cadets wondered if this maybe meant that Yeowun was going to appoint only six high-rank members.
“I will appoint the top six warriors. They will not have ranks over each other and they will be titled the Six Swords.”
