Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 12
EP.12 Guryonghoe (6)
Guryonghoe (6)
When the Guryongjeon started, Paeng Ah-hee was in trouble.
It was good to subdue Paeng Woo-jin with the help of Elder Lee, but as soon as Paeng Woo-jin woke up, he declared that he would not go back in the same way.
Paeng Woo-jin, whose cheeks swelled up like steamed buns, stood up and made a fierce expression for a moment.
“I didn’t know this.” He smiled dejectedly.
However, Paeng Woo-jin said that the promise was not wrong, so he would accept it.
He refused to return, saying that it was just unfair that he had come all the way here, so he would go see as much as Guryongjeon.
Paengwujin is definitely a cow.
Except for the family head and elders of the Paengga, he is in the highest position and is certain to inherit the position of the head of the family in the future.
Not only Paeng Ah-hee, but even the search party of Paeng Ga couldn’t do anything about it.
“I’m going to go, but I’ll just go see this.”
“What do you want to see so much?”
“It’s unfair… to come all the way here and not see anything.”
“What a pity, what a pity! It’s just pulling out the sword belt and making it boring even at the top. Just go back to Sega quickly…”
“If you keep doing that, I will go to Yeom Ah-gwon and Dae-hyeop to argue? Are you going to argue that this is nonsense?”
Paeng Ah-hee shut her mouth at Paeng Woo-jin’s ding-kang. she knew
This madman is really going to do it.
Paeng Woo-jin also promised that he would return quietly after the Kowloon Battle, so he gritted his teeth and allowed it.
‘…Yes, about a day. It’s fine for a day or so.’
Cooling down like that, he brought Paeng Woo-jin to the arena where the Guryong War was taking place. They said that they would serve them to a good seat at Cheonil Shopping Mall, where they saw Paengga’s uniform.
Peng Woojin denied this.
It’s an unexpected visit, but I can’t even get special treatment.
I ended up sitting in the general seat. Looking at Paengga’s uniform, I can feel the eyes of the people looking this way.
Half of them were divided into those who thought it would not be true and those who couldn’t talk hastily because they were Moorim people.
Paeng Ah-hee felt bloated at this uncomfortable attention, but Paeng Woo-jin didn’t care.
I don’t even know when I bought it, I’m holding dumplings in my hand.
“Brother… when did you buy that again?”
“huh? I just bought it.”
“When was it a while ago…”
No, it seems like I’ve been by your side the whole time, when the hell did you buy it?
Paeng Woo-jin was a person whose actions could not be grasped from one to ten. As a martial artist, the elders say it may be the greatest talent in Panga history.
Apart from that, it was clear that he was a strange person.
‘I’ll run away saying I’ll come back after playing.’
Wrinkles formed between Paeng Ah-hee’s forehead, perhaps thinking of that time.
“Let’s start Ah-hee!”
Whether he knows it or not, Paeng Woo-jin only cheers with dumplings in his hands.
Guryongjeon was not a miraculous sight from Paeng Ah-hee’s point of view.
Paeng Ah-hee, a native of the four generations, grew up among the warriors who were said to be the descendants of the family. It would not have been so strange to see small and medium-sized clans in the mountains or collaterals of Sega compete.
Of course, among dozens of couples, there were a few that stood out. They weren’t exactly eye-catching.
In the meantime, Paeng Ah-hee was looking at Paeng Woo-jin.
It seems to be watching with interest, but it is an eye that looks empty.
Paeng Woo-jin has been like that since he was a child.
What do you think and why do you pursue only fun with such talent.
Even though he looked like he was about to leave anywhere alone, he accepted the position of Sogaju without complaint.
A person who seems to leave at any time. Paeng Ah-hee was very anxious about that.
When the head of household asked Paeng Ah-hee to go with the search party, she replied that she would do so without hesitation.
It probably wasn’t just because of the guilt that day.
In no time, it became night. All the sparring in Guryongjeon had also come to an end.
“I have to go now. Brother.”
Even at Paeng Ah-hee’s words, Paeng Woo-jin was unmoved.
“Brother?”
Wondering why, I followed Paeng Woo-jin’s gaze and saw that someone had gone up to the empty central arena.
“That person…” He
was tall for a woman and had tight ponytails in a red uniform that symbolized Kuga.
‘Did you say Gu Yeon-seo…?’
It was a girl whom I had met several times at the party of the political faction. Her older sister, Geombong, was an indispensable talent, and I heard that Gu Yeon-seo was no less talented.
Soon after, Guyangcheon also goes up to the training ground.
Even from a distance, an uncomfortable expression, as if it had been bitten by an insect, catches my eye. Anyone could see that it was a face that said, ‘I don’t want to do that.’
“Why is that guy going up there?”
“It seems like they’re doing direct sparring.”
I looked up to see what it meant, and there was a strange piece of paper in my hand.
[After the Kowloon Battle, there will be a sparring ceremony for the brilliant stars of the Gu family.]
[Thank you for your love.]
“…When did you receive that again?”
“Did you hand it out when you came in?”
When?
Paeng Ah-hee moved her gaze to the arena again.
Gu Yang-chun and Gu Yeon-seo seemed to be talking about something, but it was too far away to be heard.
It was the same when I tried to improve my hearing by looking around my inner air.
Peng Woojin said.
“You can’t hear it. There’s a bet curtain around the arena.”
“Mak?”
“If it’s enough to cover that range at once… Yeom Ah-gwon Daehyeop must have done it.”
Paeng Ah-hee understood Gu Yang-chun’s expression. No matter how you look at it, it was an unwinnable fight.
She knew more than anyone else about Gu Yangchen’s inaction.
Compared to the boy’s lineage, it was infinitely insignificant. If you stick with Gu Yeon-seo, you will probably roll on the floor miserably.
Even if it happened in such a large crowd, Peng Ah-hee would surely hang to death.
Peng Ah-hui had never felt pity for Gu Yang-cheon, who now seemed a little pitiful.
The two are still having a conversation, but Elder Lee, who was observing, shouts with all his strength.
Then, Gu Yeon-seo jumped at Gu Yang-cheon without hesitation.
Paeng Ah-hee’s eyes widened at Gu Yeon-seo’s speed.
‘Quickly…!’
There is no shaking more than necessary in the wooden sword, which is swung according to the speed of the jump. It was said that the ability to support the center is excellent.
step by step again.
Choshik, which continued without hesitation, was talking about how much Gu Yeon-seo had been training without hesitation.
‘…Can I win if I stick?’
I honestly wasn’t sure.
Paeng Ah-hee did not have the confidence to receive Gu Yeon-seo’s sword attack that continued smoothly on the spot.
I feel that the pride I should have as a blood relative of Paengga is diminishing little by little.
“Gumbong’s younger brother?”
Paeng Ah-hee suddenly saw Paeng Woo-jin’s eyes twinkle as he watched the sparring.
The eyes that felt empty all day were full of vitality.
Paeng Ah-hee saw it and suppressed the unpleasant feelings that slowly rose up inside her.
“…You are Gugane’s blood relative, so he must be Geombong’s younger brother.”
Even so, he couldn’t hide his blunt voice.
Even in his own eyes, the narration was great. to the point of envy.
“Isn’t it amazing to have such a smooth sword strike…?”
“It’s hard to do that at my age.”
“that’s right. I think it’s great to deal with inner strength moment by moment.”
“That’s why I’m avoiding all of them.”
huh?
Paeng Ah-hee felt something strange about Paeng Woo-jin’s answer. What did Gu Yeon-seo avoid?
In the first place, Guyangchun couldn’t even counterattack and was groaning.
Paeng Ah-hee followed Paeng Woo-jin’s gaze again.
Following his gaze, Paeng Woo-jin was looking at Gu Yang-cheon, not Gu Yeon-seo.
‘Didn’t you read the narration book?’
Then what do you see and feel? Paeng Ah-hee could not understand.
“It’s half a beat fast.”
“yes?”
“Look closely, the sword is moving half a beat before it reaches its destination, so you already know where to aim and how to swing it.”
After hearing Paeng Wujin’s words, I took a closer look at Guyangcheon.
It was definitely unique. Guyangcheon’s movement is much slower than Guyeonseo’s.
If I had stuck with Gu Yeon-seo, I wouldn’t be confident.
It was a speed that he could cut immediately if he had been with Gu Yang-chun.
‘Is that so? But how…’
Gu Yang-cheon is slower than him, and Gu Yeon-seo is faster than him.
There should have been a game in the first place, but the two were sparring for more than ten matches.
“What the hell.”
As Paeng Ah-hee, I couldn’t figure it out.
As time passed and the match was not easy, Gu Yeon-seo took a stance as if she wanted to increase the number of wins.
I could see a light bet forming on Gu Yeon-seo’s wooden sword.
A sword technique used by first-class swordsmen.
It was different from the sword sword that was used only when it reached its climax.
Even Paeng Ah-hee seemed to have condensed deep internal energy.
Seeing this, Paeng Woo-jin spat out in a resolute voice.
“I can’t use it.”
“why? It looks great.”
“It’s amazing, I squeezed it in so tightly that it wouldn’t be easy even if I received it myself.”
Even if Paeng Woo-jin receives it himself? At those words, Paeng Woo-hee couldn’t help but be surprised.
“But even so, if it doesn’t fit, that’s it. Trying to use something I’m not used to, my posture is broken and my breathing is twisted. The motions I already made only with impatience aren’t even worth rubbish.”
It was a cold-hearted criticism that made even Paeng Ah-hee, who was not the party involved, feel cold. However, there was nothing wrong with Paeng Woo-jin’s discussion of martial arts.
It was then. Gu Yangchun’s expression changed. The ready-made Gu Yeon-seo leaps wildly.
Gu Yangchun saw it and did not take any special action.
Just step back and move your head slightly.
That was it. However, with just that small movement, Gu Yeon-seo’s sword attack was dispelled.
and.
– Bahah!
‘what?’
Paeng Ah-hee certainly never looked away. However, I heard the sound of something breaking, and Gu Yeon-seo collapsed.
“What… what happened?”
“amazing…!”
Paeng Ah-hee moved her gaze at the excited voice. Paeng Woo-jin was making an expression he hadn’t seen in years.
“Gu Family didn’t have only sword sticks.”
It was the expression of a bright child who said he had found something really interesting.
******************
– My sister had to be born as a man.
It was a thought that Gu Yeon-seo had alone when she was about ten years old.
The older sister was a person with a talent for martial arts as well as the dignity of a son of a famous family.
only fifteen. At the same age as herself, her older sister inherited the nickname of Geombong (劍鳳).
The older sister inherited the nickname of Geombong, which was considered to be the exclusive property of the four generations and the old file room.
It was so cool and proud.
When my older sister graduated from Shinryonggwan with the top class, she was appointed as the head of the five swords of the Gu Family at the age of just over the terms and conditions.
Even though it was something that could not be done easily, everyone acknowledged it.
He was recognized for having the ability to do so.
What a person. Perhaps with time you will become a better person.
However, he cannot become the head of the Gu family.
At that time, Gu Yeon-seo thought of her younger brother.
Her sister and herself are the children of the main wife, and Gu Yangchen is the child of a concubine. However, Gu Yeon-seo liked Gu Yang-cheon’s mother.
He was a kind person.
That’s why I also liked Yangcheon Guo. It was a time when I didn’t care if I was a concubine or half-brother.
But one day she disappeared. It was really a moment. He gave orders not to search for his father even if he searched for where he had disappeared.
Nobody found her on Sega.
It was from then.
That the Guyangcheon started to break down.
He only showed a violent appearance to the gasols, and his sharp words and eyes did not cover the target.
lazy and indolent I also heard that they put their hands on pretty Gasols.
far from effort. The sense of entitlement grew stronger day by day.
The family tree is passed on by men from generation to generation.
Since then, the father has not taken any more concubines, and the only son is Guyangchun.
Leaving such an outstanding sister.
Leaving me working so hard
My sister had to be born as a man.
Or maybe the country should have been too.
He hated Gu Yang-chun for being full without knowing what he had.
He hated Guyangchun, who was being destroyed without knowing what he had.
‘what?’
The hazy mind returns little by little.
My memory was hazy from the time I drove the flamethrower into the sword.
Guyangcheon stands in front of you. Guyangchun, which must have been much smaller than himself, looked quite large.
‘Is it a dream?’
shiver.
When I wiped my nose with the back of my hand, there was a lot of blood. why am i bleeding? Isn’t this a dream?
Then why did Guyangcheon grow so big?
Gu Yeon-seo noticed the contradiction in the gradually clearing vision and mind.
Guyangcheon did not grow.
his vision was lowered.
Gu Yeon-seo was sitting on the floor of the training ground.
“What the hell… how…”
“I understand you.”
Gu Yeon-seo lifted her head at the voice she heard.
“I understand you won’t like it. It doesn’t matter if you hate me, it won’t change anything much.”
Because of the bright lanterns, a shadow was cast on Guyangcheon’s face, making it difficult to see his expression.
However, Gu Yeon-seo could clearly see Gu Yang-chun’s pupils.
I don’t feel anything. Gu Yangchen’s eyes were numb. There were no obvious emotions like joy or anger.
I’m just looking down at the old book.
Gu Yeon-seo wanted to run away from that creepy sensation, but her trembling body did not move.
“What you said is very fucking, but I understand that too.”
what did i say Gu Yangchun’s words reminded Gu Yeonseo of what she had said.
‘I’d rather not disappear like your mother.’
the heart gets cold
No matter how insane he was, it was definitely something he shouldn’t have said.
What should I do? Should I ask for an apology now? In the meantime, the thought of having to apologize to Yangcheon Gu made me vomit.
Whether or not he knew what Gu Yeon-seo was thinking, Gu Yang-cheon continued.
“I will understand, so please understand that I am doing this.”
I couldn’t ask what that meant.
The last thing Gu Yeon-seo remembered was Gu Yang-cheon’s palm.
Squeeze-evil!
