Chapter: 52

Impeng shouted and the students gritted their teeth. Impeng was angry that there were still students who still couldn’t keep up even after two weeks. Chun Yeowun, who was known to have zero internal energy, probably wouldn’t be able to hold up. Impeng turned to him.

‘...What? Why is he still okay?’

Chun Yeowun was looking ahead without any sign of exhaustion. His sword and shield did not move an inch.

‘Did he really just return from the medical room?’

Impeng had seen that himself, so that was obvious. It was astonishing to see Yeowun keeping up with the group so well. Impeng’s view of Yeowun began to change. And when half of the students began to quiver, Impeng flashed the yellow flag.

The students then moved around to change formations. The second formation was a semi-circle around the target so that the enemy to have nowhere to flee.

“Yes! Slowly!”

The students took a step forward to pressure the enemy. No one made any mistakes and they closed in without failure.

“Good! Very Good!” Impeng shouted and Mukeum became surprised. This wasn’t what he expected.

‘How come he isn’t making any mistakes at all?’

Yeowun should have made some mistakes already, yet Impeng didn’t seem to raise any questions. Instead, he was applauding the group for the good formation, which meant that no one had made any mistakes. Yeowun was in the back so Mukeum couldn’t see him in the first formation, but now he could see him.

‘What?’

Yeowun looked fine. This formation was harder to maintain since they had to keep swinging the sword from top to bottom, but Yeowun didn’t even look tired.

‘Did he really not learn any martial arts?’

Jahyun stood close to Yeowun but even his right arm was shaking. It was hard to believe, especially when Jahyun was from one of the high-ranking clans.

‘Damn peasant. I won’t let you take all the glory.’

He then thought he should make Yeowun take the shame. Mukeum sent a telepathic message to Jahyun.

[If you hear me, nod.]

Jahyun became surprised, but he kept his cool and nodded slightly. Sending messages required at least thirty years of internal energy or more.

[At the third formation, move on my command.]

Mukeum sent the words to Jahyun who smiled and nodded in response. After a while, Impeng flashed the blue flag for the third formation.

This was the hardest one as the shields had to be stacked together and the swords were thrust in between them to create a sturdy defensive line.

‘This is easy.’

Yeowun had learned all kinds of formations through Nano’s simulations, so following it was easy. The other students were careful about pushing the sword through to not stab the person in front.

“Be careful, but also be quick! Do it!”

The formation change became slower and Impeng shouted angrily. But soon, the formation was complete. Chun Yeowun was in the middle of the shields, but the student who had to put the sword through from behind was Jahyun. All that was left for them to do now was to hold their positions.

‘I see your butt.’

Jahyun smiled and raised his leg. He then focused internal energy to kick Yeowun to make him fall.

‘Peasants are suited for crawling on the ground!’

He couldn’t make a sound, so he placed his foot on Yeowun’s butt. Yeowun then looked back at the feeling of the shoes on his butt and he moved his eyes up to see Jahyun.
