Chapter: 31

‘Does this man really want me as his apprentice?’

Yeowun looked at Submeng. He looked like a drunkard, but he was still a Right Guardian. Yeowun also felt that he really wanted to help him out.

‘Then I should make him on my side.’

He knew how helpful it was to have one ally when everyone else was an enemy. He then barely got up with a pale face and got down from the bed.

“Oh?”

Submeng looked at him intriguingly and Yeowun bowed deeply to the ground.

“I accept Right Guardian as my teacher. Please take my bow.”

Yeowun bowed, shivering from the pain. Submeng became satisfied. Yeowun tried to continue bowing, when suddenly he was pulled up by internal energy.

“Stop. The blood of Chun does not bow to anyone other than the Lord himself.”

That was the law of the cult.

“Heh, my apprentice.”

Submeng then felt embarrassed for saying such words and he held up Yeowun with his internal energy to put him back on the bed.

“You will need to rest today. So until I come back, look through that note and learn.”

Submeng then grinned and walked out. It was unexpected, but it was fortunate that Yeowun had gotten such an ally in the academy.

And at the training ground, squad forming was taking place. And when it was almost over, Chun Mukeum of the Loyal Clan grinned ominously.

‘We are in the same squad, you peasant. Hehehehe...’

After Chun Yeowun was taken to the medical room, the ceremony came to a halt as all the students needed to meditate to heal.

‘Hmmm.’

People were curious as to what would happen to Yeowun who vomited blood out from his mouth, but Left Guardian Lee Hameng’s attention was elsewhere. The first rank to the heir, Chun Muyeon of the Wise Clan, and fifth rank Yuchan of the Blade Clan had endured the first test as if it were nothing.

‘They are beyond expectations.’

Not taking any damage from Hang Soyou’s half-powered attack would require at least hundreds of internal energy.

‘They are beyond the level of students.’

They were already at the level of powerful warriors. It obvious why the rumor of the Wise and Blade Clans taking the throne was spread.

However, they weren’t the only ones who had withstood it without taking any damage. The other members of the six clans endured without much trouble and there were also eight other students who also endured it.

‘I thought they were all weaklings, but this is interesting.’

It felt like there might be powerful warriors in this year’s academy. All in all, that was going to be decided after four years when it was all over.

A total of 415 students passed the first test. It was 200 less than the first test from ten years ago as the test had been more difficult due to Chun Yeowun.

Not everyone knew it, but some of the students who looked back like Mukeum were angry to see the intensity of the test because of Yeowun.

After dragging out the failed students, all the remaining students were officially appointed as cadets and they each were given a bronze tag with the number 3, symbolizing that they were now low-ranked warriors of the Demonic Cult.

“Is this the beginning now?!”
