Absolute Regression

32nd Snacks are needed.

The next day, a branch of Hwangcheongak was opened in Magachon.

The location was set up across from Pungryu Bar. It was a really small branch, so only one new investigator and one executive officer were assigned there.

Jo Chun-bae, the owner of Pungryu Bar, who was watching the necessary furniture being put in and the signboard being put up, looked at me and asked carefully.

“Mr. Lord, why is the branch located here?”

“Let’s say you were treated unfairly by our school’s warriors. “What have you done so far?”

“…How can you do it?”

Cho Chun-bae’s question contained everything. How can I do it? I just felt unfair.

“If it’s something involving our school’s warriors, you can come to Hwangcheongak and report it. “Has anyone around you ever experienced that?”

“No, as far as I know, none.”

There is no choice but to be there. In order to come to Hwangcheongak, you must go to the main gate of the school and report the purpose of your visit, and go through not only identity verification but also a body search. I even had to go through that process several times to get to Hwangcheon Pavilion.

So who will go and report it? In the end, Hwangcheongak was virtually abandoned by the residents of Maga Village.

“The owner, please tell me some rumors. “If Magachon residents are harmed by our school’s warriors, they can come to this branch and report it.”

“But… everyone will hesitate for fear of retaliation.”

“I guess so. So we will announce it soon. “If you retaliate against the accuser in connection with the Hwangcheongak investigation, you will be beheaded.”

“A real sentence? “Oh, you are really opening a branch for us.”

Cho Chun-bae was greatly moved.

Originally, he would not have believed it was a formality. I thought that if I did that, I would eventually become famous.

But this time, Cho Chun-bae was excited because he had seen and heard firsthand how I dealt with Yang-tae, the Baekdogwi, and his father.

“Hey guys, come here and listen.”

He began to inform people in the area about the existence of the branch.

It was unknown how many people would confess their injustice in the future.

However, no matter what the number is, this attempt will play a big role in establishing the discipline of our school. Now that it is easy to report, the number of cases of recklessly harassing the weak will decrease.

Seo Dae-ryong seemed to be in a good mood upon returning after finishing organizing the branch.

“You should have done this a long time ago… You did a great job.”

“It’s a question of where to place the center of gravity.”

“What does it mean?”

“Until now, Hwangcheongak’s center of gravity was at its head. I solved problems in various organizations on campus by paying attention to Palmazon. It deviated from its original purpose and degenerated into a handmaiden of power. From now on, I will place the center of the Nether Pavilion on the bridge. It begins with protecting the residents of Maga Village, the lower-class warriors, who are relatively weak and are being unfairly treated. “You just have to remember one principle in this process.”

“What is that?”

“The weight of life is the same. Even on a low-level uninhabited island called Mazon, the weight of life is the same. That’s why we handle things with the same standards.”

Passion flashed across Seo Dae-ryong’s face.

“If someone else had said this, I would have thought it was bullshit. It’s just a pathetic idealism that ignores reality. But I trust you, Lord.”

“Is this an insult or a compliment? “Did you just curse at me?”

“If you approach more fearfully, I will be the first person to accuse you.”

I chuckled as I watched the back of the guy walking away.

And there was one thing I had to do to maintain the power of the Hwangcheon Pavilion that I told him about.

* * *

I summoned all the executive officers.

“See you, Lord!”

They raised their voices and greeted them. With Baekdogwi being imprisoned this time, my popularity has increased even more than when I first took office.

Not only did his popularity increase, but his authority also increased. The attitude of those who secretly looked down on me because they thought I was pushed out by my older brother in the succession structure also changed. When we encountered each other while walking, we lowered our eyes first.

“I am grateful to all of you who have devoted yourself to our cause so far.”

I came to the side of the podium, gave them a hug and expressed my gratitude. The executive officers also greeted me with their arms raised in unison.

“Is this the first time we’ve gathered by ourselves without investigators?”

“yes!”

“On a good day like today, you should tell good stories, but today I am going to tell you something a little uncomfortable.”

The executioners became nervous at my words.

“As you all know, there are people in our school who disobey and challenge our authority. The devil did that and the demons did that. The reason is simple. “Because they think they are stronger than you.”

It was a story that would hurt my pride, but I didn’t tell it. I have something to say to the investigator and something to say to the executioner. For these people, talking directly will be more effective than talking back.

“Any of Palmazon is good. “Can you take my orders and arrest the Hundred Demon level leaders?”

No one could answer confidently. This was reality.

“Why not? This is because they believe that their fists are stronger than the laws of this country. What should I do to change this? It’s simple. Your fists need to be stronger than theirs. “If you were scared, you wouldn’t even dare to think about it.”

Everyone’s expressions flashed. They must have experienced at least once that their authority did not work.

“I want you to become stronger than you are now.”

Of course, the current executive officers are also strong. However, it is not strong enough to overwhelm the elite warriors. Similar or rather slightly lower.

“So, starting today, we will cancel all schedules and begin special training.”

There were various reactions to the term special training. Some people were happy, while others were frowning.

“If you don’t think this change is right for you, it might be a good idea to quit now. “I will send you to another department, so please come forward.”

After hesitating for a moment, two people walked out. They honestly said they wanted to go to another department.

I promised to assign them to the departments of their choice and sent them away.

“Don’t pay attention. There is no need for everyone to fight in the Nether Pavilion. All we have to do is support our school in a suitable place. “Are there any more?”

No one stepped forward.

“good.”

I gestured to the person who was waiting in the distance.

He was none other than Jangho, the three major lords of the Demon Army. The strongest man among the great lords of the Demon Army.

Since the last time I killed the demon lord and avenged my friend, he had become very fond of me.

“He is the one who will give you special training starting today.”

Since a new demon lord had not yet been chosen, all demon lords were on standby. So this request was possible.

Jangho stepped in front of them. From his large size to the scars on his face. He overwhelmed the executioners.

“I am Jangho, who is in charge of your training for the time being. Personally, I took on this task because I respect each person here. The training will be harsh. Instead, I promise one thing. Those who endure it will definitely be stronger than before. Do you understand?”

“yes!”

The executioners answered loudly.

“Training starts after half an hour. Let’s all get ready and gather again. dissolution.”

All the executioners dispersed, leaving only Jangho and the two of them.

“What is the atmosphere of Magun these days?”

“It’s confusing. “It will be stable only when the next demon lord is decided.”

I also heard many rumors about the next demon lord. Because it was such an important position, I heard that my father and Sima Ming were struggling to appoint him, and I also heard rumors that the Magons were beginning to move to appoint him.

“I’m sorry for asking for help at a time like this.”

“no. Please call us anytime. Confucius, no, I will come running at any time if you give the order.”

“Thank you.”

Jangho was about to leave and turn around when he heard a voice coming from somewhere.

“Now there are two days left.”

When I turned my head, I saw a Hyeolcheon cutting board sitting on the wall behind me.

“You really have nothing to do.”

“When you reach the level of Amazon, time is in abundance.”

“If I become the head of the cult, there will be a lot of work for the Mazon to do.”

“If you want to do that, hold my hand.”

Hyeolcheondoma is putting pressure to somehow achieve his will.

“If your brother finds out that you’re doing this, he’ll be upset.”

“You understand. Isn’t it natural to want to go with the person who is better? Do you know why I hate political factions? I’m putting too much thought into this. If you just say it’s good because that guy has money and it’s good because that guy is stronger, then it’s okay, what’s the matter of agreement and morals? “If you’re honest, you might think you’re going to be cursed.”

“Isn’t it the same for me?”

“what?”

“The idea is to go with the side that is better. Other Mazon might want to join hands with me, right? Among them, there may be some who are better than the elders.”

The answer might have been difficult, but Hyeolcheondoma responded with ease.

“Look at this Confucius. “Do you believe in your abilities and potential?”

“yes.”

“I am confident that I will become the Heavenly Demon.”

“there is.”

“I was the first person to notice that. Doesn’t the ability to understand someone’s true value tell you who will do best?”

“Even though I’m an eloquent speaker, I can’t stand up to you.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. See you in two days.”

The Hyeolcheon Doma burst out laughing and flew away.

‘The old man speaks so convincingly.’

At first glance, this all sounds correct. But if you think about it calmly, it seems almost unreasonable.

It was only recently that I began to receive attention on campus. Everyone will be paying attention to my changes.

It’s just that Hyeolcheon Doma got entangled with me and came forward first. It’s like claiming it’s yours just because you spit on it.

Joining hands with Hyeolcheon Doma? It doesn’t make sense. If he were truly on my side, it would definitely be of great help.

But you can’t join hands with him like this. Because the initiative is still held by Hyeolcheon Doma.

* * *

The next day, I was watching the executioners being trained on the hill overlooking the training grounds.

Jangho was harsh. It was truly a training that involved cutting blood and bones, but the executioners were gritting their teeth and going through the training.

Jangho stimulated everyone with just one word before the start.

-This is the training our demon army does.

This one word was enough. If you can’t endure the demon army’s training, you’ll be admitting that they look down on Hwangcheongak.

I thought Jang-ho was a really smart person. Because there was nothing more effective than stimulating a warrior’s pride.

Jangho’s cry was heard from afar.

“Hold on! A wife, a child, a friend, anyone can betray. But I won’t betray you with the sweat I’m shedding right now!”

I chuckled while listening to Jangho’s shout. It was funny that Jang-ho, who had never been married, mentioned his wife and children.

‘By the way, you’ve met the right person.’

That moment when a thought crossed my mind that it would be really reassuring to have a warrior like Jang-ho.

‘ah!’

A good idea occurred to me regarding the blood chopping board.

* * *

On the third day, Hyeolcheon Doma was waiting for me at the place where I first proposed holding hands.

Just like back then, he was drinking while leaning on the blade with his sword stuck in the ground.

“Are you ready to drink my drink now?”

I sat across from him.

“I’m ready.”

Hyeolcheondoma smiled broadly with a satisfied face and poured the drink.

I toasted vigorously, but I didn’t drink.

“Why don’t you drink it and put it down?”

“I need snacks.”

“snack? “What kind of complacency is the company’s leader in charge of?”

A disapproving look appeared on Hyecheon Doma’s face. I realized that the snacks I was talking about were not actual snacks, but rather a certain requirement.

“What snacks do you need?”

I answered in a tense atmosphere.

“Ma-kun.”

Hyeolcheondoma’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

“Please put the devil in my mouth.”
