Chapter: 33

“One of my group’s cadets, the 7th cadet, is in the medical room.”

“And?”

“I do not want one of our cadets to be left out or missing so that our entire group fails.”

“What is it that you are proposing?”

“I want to let him know what we had heard today while he was gone so that he will not be left out.”

He thought all of the six princes did not like Yeowun, but it seemed like Mukeum was different. Impeng became pleased and nodded, “Good. I applaud you for your sincerity, and you seem to know about the importance of this second test. So, I will take your advice and go to the 7th cadet and give him the information myself.”

“Huh? N-no, that won’t be necessary. I can go myself...”

“The main building is off-limits to cadets except under special circumstances.”

Chun Mukeum became frustrated.

‘Goddammit! This is bullshit!’

His purpose was to go to Chun Yeowun and break his leg or something, but he didn’t think he wouldn’t be allowed to enter the building at all. He tried to imply that he was the heir of one of the six clans, but he realized his background didn’t apply in this academy and gave up.

“Understood, Instructor. Oh, and can you tell me when the 7th cadet will be returning to us?”

He then needed to wait until Yeowun returned.

Around dinner time, Instructor Impeng went to Chun Yeowun’s medical room as promised. Yeowun was in self-healing mode and was asleep. Impeng couldn’t wake Yeowun who was badly injured and asked Baek Jongmeng on how long it would take for the boy to wake up.

“Hmm. He will need at least two weeks in bed.”

“Two weeks? That will be too long for him to move up to the second step. Can’t he wake up earlier?”

Impeng didn’t like the idea of letting his group fail due to one student. It was survival for the students, but it was a competition for the instructors.

“Well, he doesn’t have any internal energy so it takes time.”

Impeng then had to leave knowing that it would take two weeks for Chun Yeowun to heal.

‘Well, he’s out of luck.’

He thought Chun Yeowun was unlucky, but he later learned that it was not true.

The next day, someone walked into the medical room before dawn. It was Submeng the Crazy Blade.

“Heh heh... apprentice. It’s your teacher.”

He came back too fast.

A day ago, Baek Jongmeng had to quickly work on Yeowun. He tried to put needles in Yeowun so he could heal up.

‘Will it be suspicious if I get better so fast?’

If Yeowun was to heal with the Nano Machine, he’d be fully healed within a day. He then became concerned. Making himself heal fast would be suspicious, but he couldn’t dare to waste time and risk being left behind.

‘Would it be better I just fill the time needed without becoming suspicious? Let’s ask the doctor how long it will take me to heal and choose.’

Yeowun then turned to Baek Jongmeng who was preparing his needles.

“Doctor.”
