Side Story Episode 102. Descendants of the Black Devil (2)
Headquarters training hall.
“From now on, I am going to teach you a new magic technique.”
Perhaps they had already heard the story, but none of the yakshas who heard it were embarrassed.
Yang Baek-ho glanced at the young faces with subtle excitement, then smiled and looked at the footnotes.
“what? “Have I already said everything?”
Instead of Yuljeoksan, who cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression, Gwichang spoke calmly.
“Isn’t this a fact that will be known anyway?”
“I didn’t know you guys were so soft-spoken.”
“Who can maintain composure in the face of new martial arts skills?”
Other than that, it was true.
In fact, Yuljeoksan and Gwichang had been learning new magic techniques for 15 days ago. This was because the new magic technique created was superior to what they had learned.
They are superiors, but they are also yakshas. Of course, I had no choice but to learn.
“What I brought is a total of three types of magic attacks. Unfortunately, you have no authority over what to choose. The reason is because we are a unit organization.”
In any organization, what each person must do is clear.
Among them, there is a role that a combat unit must perform at the risk of death. This is because the whole thing becomes stronger.
“But there is no need to be discouraged. These magic arts are high-level martial arts with little difference in level. “The characteristics are different, but the difficulty in reaching the extreme is the same, so the speed at which each person becomes stronger will vary depending on their efforts.”
Yang Baek-ho stopped talking and looked at the faces of the yakshas.
None of the Yaksas were disappointed. Regardless of whether they chose it or not, if any magician was better than what they had learned now, it could be considered a blessing in itself.
In fact, it was a stroke of luck. I was wondering whether or not it would be okay to get in touch with the church’s leadership in order to learn this level of magic right away.
Yang Baek-ho’s face, which was smiling as he looked at their eyes sparkling with anticipation, suddenly became clouded with worry.
He recalled his conversation with Lee Cheon-sang.
– Honestly, I am against it. I too want our unit to be strong, but uncontrollable power is too dangerous. Moreover, I would have to keep quiet about the fact that I had learned a new magic technique, but is there any way to keep the mouths of so many Yaksas shut?
– I realized something through this mission.
– Something.
– The Yaksha spirit is dangerous.
– Is it dangerous?
– It is not difficult to imagine that there was a conflict at the top for the safe return of our troops. There must be someone on the other side of the leadership connected to the head of the criminal law, that is, the White Bone God Demon, who is preying on us.
– … … !
– There’s nothing we can do about it right now. However, considering their power, we never know when or how they will bring us down. I may not be able to say it openly, but there will be difficult days ahead.
– Would you go that far when you have a grandson of an old man with a white bone?
– The existence of Yoo Sang-cheon is a great barrier, but it is also an absolute weakness. If, by chance, we grab Yu Sang-cheon from the other side and try to shake the White Bone God Demon, we will also suffer enormous damage before that happens.
– Huh.
– We all have no choice but to become stronger, no matter how much risk we take. If such a moment really comes, we can reduce the number of unjust deaths by even one more person.
Lee Cheon-sang’s last words, among them the word ‘unjust’, shook Yang Baek-ho’s heart.
Yes. There should be no unjust death.
While living as a Protestant, he was the one who faced all sorts of checks to the point where I wondered if this was really okay. Due to the overwhelming sense of injustice, I thought about leaving Protestantism several times.
Even if you die, you should not feel unfair. When facing death, you should at least have the pride of having lived as best as you could.
My concerns were great, but my feeling of not wanting to regret anything was even greater.
Yang Baek-ho opened his mouth.
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
Yang Baek-ho, who was crying, glanced at Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang was silently watching the yakshas.
Yang Baek-ho continued.
“You will know. Learning a new magic technique requires its own process. Even low-level magicians cannot view it unless they receive approval from their superiors.”
Yuljeoksan and Gwichang’s bodies flinched.
“But these magic balls I brought with me… … “They are magic craftsmen who have not received approval from their superiors.”
For a moment, the eyes of the yakshas wavered.
Just by not making a fuss, you could tell that they were well-trained magicians.
“To be precise, they are magicians that no one but us knows. There is no need for you to know how these magicians were obtained. However, I promise that it was not stolen from above or obtained illegally.”
Yang Baek-ho paused for a moment and cleared his throat.
In my heart, I wanted to tell them that they were magic craftsmen who worked together with Lee Cheon-sang, himself, Do-heon, and later, Yuljeoksan and Gwichang.
But that wasn’t possible. Who created these demons must never be known.
In the unlikely event that this fact became known to the outside world, he would have to take full responsibility.
“For this reason, as soon as you learn this, you will commit the same sin as me. Of course, I will take responsibility. However, when viewed from above, you and I are just the same people.”
The yakshas swallowed their saliva.
Yang Baek-ho’s eyes filled with strength.
“Nevertheless, the reason I want you to learn these magic techniques is because survival comes first. As you all know, our school is in a very chaotic situation. At any time and in any way, you may become involved in a strange incident and see blood. “You could die.”
“… … .”
“I am proud that I have lived my whole life like a warrior. I am confident that I reached this place without being swayed by any temptation. “There were countless opportunities to seize power, but the reason I rejected them all is because I am a demon and a warrior.”
If anything, it was a dangerous statement. This means that most of the leaders of the party are corrupt demons.
Many demons actually thought so, but saying it out loud was a completely different matter.
Yang Baek-ho was now showing the deepest sincerity he could show. And the yakshas also knew his sincerity better than anyone else.
This is because there was no demon who did not know the stubborn pride of Yang Baek-ho, a blood demon.
“For now, I have found my place. I have a place to put my life on. I have reached a unit that I will not regret even if I die. That is the Yaksha command.”
“… … .”
“There is no opportunity to choose magic. This is because the states have already figured out your individual characteristics and skills, and have appointed magicians that fit your needs. But before that, you have a decisive choice.”
“… … .”

“Anyone who will not learn these magic techniques should retreat to the left and right walls of the training hall.”
The choice of whether to learn magic or not.
Everyone is called out and asked questions like this, but even if they actually have that desire, not many people will say that they do not want to learn.
The training ground has become quiet.
After a while, someone raised their hand.
“I have a question.”
The person who raised his hand was Yang Geon, the leader of the triangle.
Yang Baek-ho nodded.
“Ask a question.”
“What happens if I say I don’t want to learn magic?”
“If there is someone who does not want to learn, not because they have already mastered advanced magic and do not need to learn, but simply because they do not want to get into unnecessary trouble, I will send them to another unit or organization to the best of my ability.”
The yakshas were astonished.
Yang Baek-ho shook his head.
“You can’t be together without learning. Magic has a stricter food chain relationship than any other martial arts. “It would be close to impossible to show the same level of unity and inaction as those who have learned without learning.”
That is correct.
Sometimes, there are people who pioneer a higher level with lower-level martial arts. A representative example was Yang Baek-ho.
However, it was not something that could be achieved through simple effort and experience. You had to have outstanding talent and a lot of luck.
If everyone can reach the pinnacle of martial arts with low-level martial arts, why would anyone go out of their way to acquire high-level martial arts?
Yang Geon said.
“In the end, it is a choice whether to stay at headquarters or not.”
“To be exact, it’s a choice between whether to risk your life or not.”
Yang Baek-ho spoke transparently.
“The moment you learn this magic skill, you will live a life walking on the edge of a knife. “The moment you make a mistake, you are headed down a path where you will be cut to death.”
“… … .”
“We will never do terrible things such as forcing someone to learn or killing someone because they say they will not learn. “Don’t worry about that part.”
Yang Geon said with a smile.
“Commander.”
“Speak up, Chief of Staff.”
“That’s a bit cheesy, but is it okay?”
Guichang glared at Yang Geon with stern eyes. It meant that if you talk nonsense, you won’t be left alone.
Yang Geon was stung, but Yang Baekho smiled and nodded.
“Do it.”
“Honestly, aren’t the majority of people who come to the headquarters a bunch of poor people with nothing to lose?”
Tired laughter came out from among the yakshas.
Yang Baek-ho shrugged his shoulders.
“Honestly, so do I. “I was demoted.”
“We are already living on a knife edge. In other words, if you don’t like your superiors and they start cutting you, it’s a life in which you have to suffer without being able to resist.”
Yang Geon shook his head.
“When will we be successful in learning such magical techniques? We may be weak, but we are not stupid. “It may be a little uncomfortable, but who would be foolish enough to pass up an opportunity like this?”
“That’s your opinion. This is an opportunity, but it is also a poison. “Not everyone is like you.”
“If you’re a member of the Naewon, those who don’t think of this as an opportunity are fools.”
Yang Geon nodded.
“I will learn.”
Yang Baek-ho looked around at the other yakshas.
“Don’t be swayed by the words of the triangular leader. Everyone thinks differently. “Caring about your own safety is not a cowardly or ugly thing, so don’t worry and leave.”
After saying those words, Yang Baek-ho turned his back and looked down at the training ground.
One angle, two angles.
As time passed and half an hour passed, Yang Baek-ho stood there and looked down at the yakshas without saying a word.
At that time, one Yaksha raised his hand.
“There is no need to raise your hands. If you want to get out, hurry… … .”
“I’ve been doing it for twenty years.”
“hmm?”
“I’ve been thinking about it for twenty years. “Isn’t there a chance to become stronger?”
“… … .”
“The leaders may not know, but the subordinates know. We are thirsty for strength. “The reasons may be different.”
“… … .”
“We are all ready to accept our new destiny.”
With those words, the yaksha knelt down.
At the same time, all the yakshas knelt down as if they were waiting.
That was enough. There wasn’t a single person here at the headquarters who didn’t want to become stronger.
Yang Baek-ho’s face was filled with turbulence.
He thought at least fifty people had deserted. He saw that at most he could desert up to a hundred men.
But in reality, no one was left out.
I wondered if anyone would notice, but there was no one. At least if you look at their eyes and energy, it seemed like everyone was of one mind and one mind.
‘thanks.’
He expressed his gratitude to the yakshas and statesmen.
If the unit commanders and commanders had not treated the unit members well, this scene would never have occurred.
Yang Baek-ho said in a calm voice.
“I am starting to teach magic arts.”
