Chapter: 253

‘W-what?! Why am I an idiot?’

Wo Sojung was not well regarded among the female cadets. After the two of them, there were now five cadets who had failed the test within the academy. And there weren’t any challengers to the instructors for a while.

Exactly a year after Yeowun entered the closed room, there were many who passed the fourth test. On the fifth month, Hou Sangwha and Che Takim also passed the fourth test. In addition, there were other cadets who had passed, and one of them was Sama Chak. On the six month, Yeowun’s crew began to have cadets who had now become master level warriors. Ja Wumin, Ojong, Im Yuhan, and Kong Jino all became master warriors.

And in the tenth month, the number of failed cadets increased to fifteen. Ja Wumin and Im Yuhan had passed the day shortly after. And on the first year, Yeowun’s crew dueled to set the new Six Sword among them. The result altered the rank.

First Sword – Mun Ku

Second Sword – Bakgi

Third Sword – Ko Wanghur

Fourth Sword – Wu Sojung

Fifth Sword – Hou Sangwha

Sixth Sword – Che Takim

Bakgi tried hard, but he couldn’t defeat Mun Ku in the end. And with over thirty percent of Yeowun’s members entering the master level, all Six Swords went on to enter the closed room.

After the second year, most of the cadets had now had taken the fourth test. Among the 120 cadets that passed the third test, only 71 cadets passed the fourth test and the others were expelled after failing the test. A total of 19 members from Yeowun’s crew were expelled. They were sad that they couldn’t follow Master’s orders and promised to grow in power for the future. But it was still a great feat that 34 members of the crew had become masters. The one who had grown the most was Hu Bong. In two years, he was now an established master-level warrior.

‘Master is still not satisfied with his progress yet?’

‘I hope he comes out soon.’

Yeowun still hadn’t come out yet, as well as all the others who had entered the closed room, but it seemed like it was longer since Yeowun had entered earlier than any other cadet. And with 80% of the cadets all entering the closed room, the academy was now very quiet. Therefore, the Six Sword duel for the second year was skipped since most of the members were missing.

And on the third day, it was back to fall. There had been a lot of incidents during the third year. All cadets who entered the closed room had gotten out of it, but among the 70 cadets who had gone through closed room training, only 40% of them entered the grandmaster level. In the second and fourth month, Chun Muyeon left the closed room and passed the fifth test on the same day. This showed that he was an established grandmaster level warrior. And during the second and sixth month, Chun Kungwun, Sama Chak, Guk Shin, Mun Ku, Ko Wanghur, and Bakgi all passed the fifth test. Seven more cadets also tried, but failed. What was surprising was that Chun Mukeum was one of those who failed the test.

Among those failed cadets, three of them were killed in the process. Therefore, the other cadets were hesitant on challenging the test. During the third year, the duel for the Six Swords was held again. Unlike before, the cadets had become much stronger for the challenge.

First Sword. Ko Wanghur.

Second Sword. Mun Ku.

Third Sword. Bakgi.

Fourth Sword. Hou Sangwha.

Fifth Sword. Wu Sojung.

Sixth Sword. Ja Wumin.

As shown in the results, Ko Wanghur had become really powerful after the closed room training. His fist skill increased his physical strength as he trained, so he had gotten so powerful that no one could damage his body. Wu Sojung tried hard to defeat at least Hou Sanghwa, but she had grown much larger and she threw Wu Sojung of with one swing of her axe.

And then two more months passed. It was now the harsh, cold winter. Snow fell on a weekly basis and on the mountain at the back of the dormitory, thirteen cadets had gathered together. They were all Yeowun’s members. Three years were enough for these young teenage cadets to have matured. They always gathered here to train together. Ko Wanghur had grown a long beard, and that made him look much older than his peers.

“Huh? Aren’t we all here yet?”

Ko Wanghur became confused as he couldn’t find everyone. Ja Wumin answered him.

“I think they went there again.”

“Oh.”

Bakgi sighed at Ja Wumin’s words and shook his head. The two cadets who weren’t here were Mun Ku and Hu Bong. After three years passed, the two of them often visited the closed room building, hoping their master would come out soon.
