◈ Mental education (3)
After exchanging warm camaraderie, no trainee was left behind until the end of the raw food week.
And after the four-day raw food week was over. On the fifth day, normal eating continued again.
It wasn’t just the meal that took place. For some reason, the training that took place after the meal also went back to the first day.
“Get ready for the fourteen moves!!”
“evil!!”
Rolling in after breakfast, rolling in after lunch, and rolling in after dinner.
Now it’s time to take a break and get some sleep.
“Please gather everyone at the main training hall!”
For some reason, even though it was late at night, Mujin gathered the trainees in one place.
“Starting today, we begin our final wartime training for three days. If you survive this training, then I will apologize for what I said on the first day. And from then on, we will teach you the ‘external training method’ in earnest.”
At Mujin’s words, the trainees’ eyes sparkled with light even though it was dark.
Now, there are only three days left in this hellish training.
However, on the contrary, thinking about the training so far, the trainees thought that the remaining three days of training would not be easy.
Mujin, who glanced at the trainees’ eyes filled with such worries and expectations, explained the final training.
“There is nothing strange about anything happening in a wartime situation! As you should never relax your guard at any time! For three days from today, you will repeat the training you have done so far without sleep.”
The last training was a training commonly called ‘self-righteousness’ in the South Korean military.
At Mujin’s explanation, most of the trainees sighed in relief.
This was because the last training seemed easier than I thought.
Although he clearly knew that the disciples of the Jongnam faction were secretly relieved, Mujin did not add anything.
He just faintly shows a smile that he can’t hide.
Most of them had devoted themselves to training in the Jongnam sect, and even if they went to the monastery, they had no reason to stay up all night for more than a day, so they did not know.
What a terrible torture it is for humans not to be able to sleep.
“From now on, we will begin the night march!”
The night march begins with three full meals and training in the morning and afternoon.
And Mujin, who ordered the trainees to march at night, headed straight for the Jongnam faction’s palace.
There was no particular reason.
‘It would take more than two hours to go down the mountain, reach the top, and return to Jongnam.’
The purpose was to sleep during the two examinations.
Muscles become bigger and stronger as they heal through exercise. And to recover, you need to sleep.
In other words, if you don’t sleep, you will lose muscle.
* * *
The Jongnam faction disciples who had gone on a night march were given rest.
However, sleep was not allowed.
My body is so tired from rolling around like crazy since morning, but I can’t sleep while I’m sitting down to rest.
It didn’t take long for me to realize what a terrible punishment it was.
Looking at the red-blooded Jongnam Sect disciples trying to overcome their drooping eyelids, Mujin yawned a lot.
“Haaam. If you feel sleepy, you can sleep. “Any idiot who wants to get stabbed in the head while sleeping comfortably in a wartime situation should just sleep.”
“If the person in charge of security and reconnaissance falls asleep during a mission, and the enemy succeeds in a night attack, the alumni will die in droves. “If you fall asleep now, you are no different from committing the deadly sin of knight annihilation.”
“Whether you all sleep or not, I’m going to die of sleep right now! “You trash bastard can come forward now, ring the bell, and go to sleep.”
The Jongnam school trainees, who were already feeling sleepy and drifting in and out of their minds, could not come to their senses due to Mujin’s speaking style that alternated between seduction and provocation.
After a hellish dawn, the morning sun came.
“ruler. “Now then, let’s go eat breakfast.”
And after breakfast, training began again.
The physical training that took place while staying up all day was on a different level from what I had done before.
Even though I was playing at the same level of difficulty, my body was screaming.
But funny enough, the pain was awakening their spirit.
After eating breakfast, I feel so tired that I feel sleepy, but I wake up because of physical pain.
These trainees were wondering, if this is not torture, what is it?
Just like that, the second day passed with the feeling that my body and mind were both worn out.
And the third and final day.
“Today, all you have to do is sit in the training hall and rest.”
Today again, Mujin came out yawning after taking a leisurely sleep to avoid muscle loss.
“However, any trainee who falls asleep will be considered a scum and will be dismissed.”
I had already been rolling around without sleep for two days, and my body was at its limit.
Only those who have experienced it can know how terribly difficult it is to sit still and not fall asleep.
Naturally, trainees appeared one by one with their eyelids drooping. It was not the realm of reason, but closer to the body’s survival instinct.
And at that time, without fail, Mujin’s displeasure erupted.
“I will let my comrades sleep in the middle of enemy lines! “Are you going to let me be captured, tortured, and killed?”
As Mujin shouts, the trainees nearby the sleeping trainee begin to play with their arms and legs roughly.
“Wake up!”
“You can’t sleep. Sasuk!!”
Those who had fallen into a sweet, sweet sleep for a moment suddenly woke up with harsh groans from the pain.
“Kwaaak.”
“Uh-huh! Who shouts so loudly in enemy territory?”
The trainees who woke up came to their senses at Mujin’s shouting and looked around with bloody eyes.
‘Just one guy gets caught!’
You can’t just hit yourself and end it, right?

In this way, a beautiful camaraderie that will never be seen again unfolds in the grand performance hall.
“Wake up!”
puck!
“execution! “You don’t have to die!”
“Aaaah!”
“I didn’t sleep! “I mean, I didn’t sleep!!”
“Uh-huh! Who makes so much noise in enemy territory?”
Thanks to Mujin’s continuous yelling, a bloody battle of wits began in the main training camp.
The disciples of the Jongnam faction, whose eyes are bloodshot from not being able to sleep for two days, look around with their mouths closed, with the mindset of ‘Let’s just get one person caught.’
Then the moment you blink your eyes.
puck!
“town!!”
A fist, I don’t know when or where it came from, hits my cheek, side, and back of my head.
It is a beautiful virtuous cycle in which the student, who wakes up from a sleep that feels like a sweet sleep for a split-second and intense pain, repeatedly strikes the trainee sitting next to him for revenge.
Mujin smiled happily as he looked at the scene of the tragedy.
‘cancer. This is true comradeship.’
In essence, the affection between people is not made up of only good affection.
There was a risk that a relationship that had become close only with friendly affection would fall apart if each other’s feelings were slightly hurt.
However, a relationship filled with both good and bad feelings was almost never going to go wrong.
* * *
From raw food to self-denial, the Jongnam faction trainees persevered by exchanging beautiful camaraderie.
This meant that not a single person was left behind.
The moment Mujin transitions from mid-hours (9 to 11 o’clock) to midnight (11 to 13 o’clock). The disciples of the Jongnam faction were sent back to their lodgings.
It was news that the last hellish training had ended.
The disciples of the Jongnam faction, who had endured sleep for three days, fell asleep as soon as they entered their dormitories.
And around lunch the next day. Mu-jin, who skipped the morning training and left them to sleep, called the disciples of the Jongnam faction to the main training hall.
All of the trainees gathered in the training hall had bruises on their faces and bodies.
Of course, it was a sign of a fight between the two during training.
However, unlike his ridiculous appearance, the eyes of the Jongnam faction disciples gathered in the training hall were extremely cruel.
Mu-jin, who stood on the podium and faced the bright eyes of the Jongnam sect disciples, bowed his head along with the class president.
“I apologize for saying on the first day that you were not suitable for the Great Jongnam faction.”
Since he’s been acting like a dog for the past three weeks, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to bow his head.
Mujin then raised his head and continued speaking with a satisfied look on his face.
“This instructor was impressed by all of you. “I can assure you that those of you who have endured the hellish training are worthy of being called the ‘Great’ Jongnam Sect.”
At Mujin’s words, pride appears on the faces of the Jongnam faction disciples, who were casting bright eyes.
The disciples of the Jongnam faction felt like they were going crazy during the training, but they felt that way after it was over.
Who could withstand the kind of training they went through?
The pride and confidence that there was nothing they could not do was written on their faces because they had endured such hardships.
Mujin added words to those people whose faces were overflowing with pride and confidence.
“But what I am most thrilled about is not because of each of you! As befits disciples of the ‘Great’ Jongnam Sect! The fact is that we completed it without a single dropout! This was an achievement that could not have been accomplished by all of you individually! “It was because there were alumni who trained with me!”
At Mujin’s shout, the Jongnam faction disciples turned their heads and looked at the executioners standing around them.
It was just as Mujin said.
Comrades who pushed and pulled each other when their bodies reached their limit, and who woke them up with their fists whenever their patience reached its limit and they craved food or tried to sleep.
It was an ordeal that I probably would not have been able to endure if I had attempted it alone.
Even though it may be difficult alone, these comrades. There is nothing impossible with these death penalty agents.
The eyes are truly magnificent, and the pride and confidence are evident from the straight shoulders, straight neck, and facial expressions.
And even the warm friendship towards his comrades. They were literally like the symbol of a soldier.
‘For mental education, this will be enough.’
Looking at the Jongnam Sect disciples, Mujin shook his head.
… … .
Anyone could see that there was no trace of a Taoist figure left.
* * *
That evening.
Five disciples of the Jongnam faction came to Mujin’s residence.
“What’s going on, everyone?”
The mental training was over anyway, and everyone was ordered to take a break. There was no reason to come to see him.
‘Are you sure you’re trying to say something?’
Now that the training is over, he may have come to seek revenge for the trouble he has suffered.
As Mujin, who had been thinking so far, was preparing to raise the bet, one of the five gurus stepped forward.
He was Byeok-hwan, who participated most diligently in Mujin’s training.
“Actually, since we had a day off today, the five of us were planning to have a little drink together in Janganhyeon, but since we were already on our way, the instructor thought it would be a good idea to join us, so we came over.”
“Now that training is over, there is no need to call me instructor. But, what about a drinking party?”
Byeok-hwan smiled brightly and answered Mu-jin’s question.
“ha ha ha. At Jongnam, we do not allow drinking or eating meat on special days. And now that three weeks of hard training are over, isn’t it truly a special day?”
I even explained that I had permission from Baekun Jinin, the room manager.
It would be a problem if nearly two hundred disciples went down in droves, so did they just go to the after-party first?
At his explanation, Mujin’s fists were shaking without even realizing it.
‘Damn Shaolin Temple!!’
What a beautiful sight it is to be with the secular world! Shaolin needed to follow their example.
But aside from the complaints about Shaolin, it was quite a fascinating story.
‘I felt like I was bitten because I was only eating what Jongnam gave me.’
Although Jongnam was allowed to eat a minimum amount of meat, the basic rule was still to cut grass.
In the end, in order to make up for the lack of protein, I had to live with those protein supplements that made me vomit on a bad day.
“ha ha ha. “It’s a drinking party with Jongnam’s heroes, so there’s no reason to refuse.”
Mu-jin willingly agreed to accept Byeok-hwan’s invitation.
‘Just in case, you should stay alert.’
It could be that they were trying to talk to each other after giving him alcohol.
