Chapter: 46

“What a great morning!”

At the training ground for morning training, Chun Mukeum stood there brightly with a smile on his face. Thanks to Jahyun’s plans of sending the 23rd cadet to the hospital, it had probably solved his problem. Thanks to that, the cadets of the 8th group were able to enjoy peaceful nights for two days at least.

Two days passed. At dinner time after the afternoon training, the 23rd cadet that Chun Mukeum had waited so long for finally returned. His head was wrapped with some small cloths. Mukeum’s face crumpled terribly.

‘If he won’t come to us, we’ll send someone to him.’

It was what Jahyun had planned, and therefore the 23rd cadet was sent to the medical room. The 23rd cadet was a member of a weak clan within the Demonic Cult. Mukeum promised to help his family if 23rd cadet succeeded.

“Interesting. Why didn’t you get expelled?”

Mukeum glared coldly at the 23rd cadet.

The 23rd cadet was on his knees as he answered carefully, “I tried to cut his leg muscle, but his internal damage was so bad that the doctor stayed in the medical room to look after him.”

“Huh? Doesn’t he sleep? Don’t tell me you didn’t have any time to do that.”

“I-I tried to wake up at midnight to do it, but the doctor woke up every time I moved.”

The 23rd cadet wasn’t sure if his lies would work, but he had no choice other than using the excuse that Yeowun had told him to use.

“You couldn’t even get past a doctor?!”

“UGH!”

Mukeum kicked the 23rd cadet’s stomach, knocking him back.

“Damn idiot! You can’t even do that right?!”

Mukeum kept on kicking him, but the 23rd cadet couldn’t do anything. Jahyun stopped Mukuem.

“Prince, stop.”

“What? What do you want?”

“Do you know the doctor’s name?”

Jahyun asked the 23rd cadet and he answered while panting heavily.

“Ugh... it’s... Baek Jongmeng...”

“Baek Jongmeng... Baek... OH.”

Jahyun had asked for a reason. He had learned and studied many things about the Demonic Cult to better assist Chun Mukeum.

“What? Do you know him?”

“He must be an apprentice of the Demon Doctor Baek Jongwu.”

“Really?”

Mukeum then became surprised and stopped. Baek Jongwu was a member of the Poison Clan who was interested in medical skills and became a doctor to the Lord himself. He was a doctor, but he was also a warrior within the top thirty ranks of the Demonic Cult.

“If he is the apprentice of the Demon Doctor, then he might have learned martial arts.”

This was just a guess, and they didn’t know that vague knowledge was inaccurate sometimes. Baek Jongwu did not teach martial arts to his medical apprentices.

“Dammit. Then there was no point in sending this bastard!”
