Chapter: 254

“At least they aren’t alone,” Hou Sangwha commented.

But Ko Wanghur shook his head.

“Two is not enough.”

“Mun Ku isn’t someone we shouldn’t be worried about,” Bakgi answered and the other cadets nodded. Mun Ku, who had passed the fifth test, was now within the top 100 warriors out of the entire Demonic Cult. There was no need to worry about such an experienced warrior.

“...Yes, but the competition to the throne is much more fierce. Didn’t Chun Kungwun make an offer to you at the cafeteria the other day, Bakgi?”

This was what Ko Wanghur was worried about. With the academy entering the fourth year, the candidates were now pushing to increase their influence and power. Chun Muyeon, who didn’t do much until he had passed the fifth test, was now aggressively recruiting cadets. And the problem was that they were also approaching Yeowun’s crew.

“Do you think I will go to the other princes?”

“No, I’m just worried because we don’t know what they might try to do.”

Chun Yeowun had been missing for three years, so it was natural for the others to take advantage. After all, they were warriors without a master. Ja Wumin also agreed.

“Ko Wanghur is right. Chun Kungwun is no different than Chun Yuchan. We have to be careful.”

“...That’s why we stick together like this.”

This was why they always stayed together unless they trained at the private training rooms, but it was becoming more serious. Ko Wanghur then became worried and said, “We should go get them.”

They then moved out to go pick the two of them up.

At the northwestern corner, in front of the closed training room, over twenty cadets had circled around two cadets threateningly. The two cadets were Mun Ku and Hu Bong. Ko Wanghur’s worry had come true. It was Chun Kungwun who had brought these twenty cadets. Mun Ku glanced around at the cadets with their weapons. They were ready.

“I will say this for the last time. I am not here to hurt you, so why don’t you consider my offer very carefully? Mun Ku?” Kungwun asked.

Hu Bong shouted back, “You bring weapons and circle around us. Then you say you are not here to hurt us?!”

“I’m not talking to you. Shut up.”

Chun Kungwun was not interested in Hu Bong. He wanted Mun Ku who was a member from the Black Dragon Clan, which was as large and almost as powerful as the six clans. Kungwun had approached Mun Ku multiple times already.

“Didn’t I refuse many times already?”

Mun Ku refused again. Kungwun already knew that Mun Ku, as always, would refuse this time around too.

“Then there is no other way. I will do it my way.”

“...What are you talking about?”

“I just think it’s necessary to educate my future pawn.”

Chun Kungwun did not hesitate to use force. After all, they were in the Demonic Cult where power trumped everything. Kungwun pulled out his sword.

“Let’s do this. You duel me, and if you lose, you become my servant.”

“This is outrageous.”

“If you win, I will let you go.”

Chun Kungwun was already ready to strike. Mun Ku narrowed her eyes. There were too many experienced warriors surrounding them, giving her no choice to run away. She also took steps to ready herself.

“This is going too far, even for a prince!” Hu Bong shouted and raised his sword. He couldn’t take this rude approach.

“I warned you not to interfere.”
