Side Story Episode 95. Perspective on magic (3)
two days later.
“… … .”
Yang Baek-ho was reading the transfer order at the commander’s office.
It was something I would have glanced at once and put it into my head, but I couldn’t do that now.
Yang Baek-ho, who had been reading the transfer order for a long time, looked up.
There was one young man there.
Has he just turned twenty? He had a very thin body and was as tall as a bamboo.
‘Your eyes are strange.’
It looks both gloomy and hot. He was a young man whose temperament is difficult to judge.
Yang Baek-ho looked at the young man’s body.
It looks skinny at first glance, but any expert will know this. This young man is quite disciplined.
This was especially true of the hands. Her fists and palms were covered in layers of calluses that had torn off and reattached. It could be seen that he was an expert who had practiced the technique for a long time.
Yang Baek-ho opened his mouth.
“Yoo Sang-cheon (劉詳天).”
The young man, Yoo Sang-cheon, bowed his head in silence.
“You worked as a member of the Internal War Protection Court, then returned to the External War and demonstrated outstanding ability in various organizations. However, there are no units that last three months.”
“… … .”
“Is there any other reason?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“There’s no reason why you couldn’t settle down in one place?”
Yang Baek-ho buried his back in the chair.
“Did you have an accident?”
“I don’t think so, but I don’t know how it would look from above.”
The corners of Yang Baekho’s mouth slightly rose.
‘What a strange guy.’
The Teenage Demon Lords are the highest level of Protestantism.
Among them, the White Bone God Demon was the highest-ranking elder who had been serving as the Demon King for thirty years and had great authority. This young man was the grandson of the White Bone God Demon.
However, Yoo Sang-cheon was different from Yeon Chi-sang, a bitch.
He didn’t seem arrogant and didn’t seem like he would give in to power.
A thick and sharp prayer. He seemed to have a strong likeable personality that could be either a thorn in his side or a trustworthy subordinate, depending on his superior’s personality.
Yang Baek-ho nodded.
“The Yasha Command is a unit impervious to external pressure. Speak openly. “I know that you are the grandson of the White Bone God Demon.”
“yes.”
“Still, I can’t put you at the level of a leader right away. “It’s not even possible to be at the footnote level.”
“yes.”
It was a blunt answer.
I didn’t say anything that would embarrass the listener, such as I didn’t want it in the first place, I don’t like that kind of thing, are you really going to treat me like that, etc.
“But your martial arts skills seem to be at least that of a commander.”
“thank you.”
His tone was so stiff that I wondered if he was really grateful.
Yang Baek-ho adjusted his posture. Still, it was a comfortable position.
“In other words, if you had been part of the command since it was just founded, I think you could have become a leader from the beginning. “Unfortunately you came a little late.”
“yes.”
“But, I don’t know if you heard, but we lost a lot of men on our first mission. “There were a lot of casualties, especially in one army.”
Yoo Sang-cheon asked a question for the first time.
“Is it because you are weak?”
Yang Baek-ho shook his head.
“It is a unit that is more flexible than the Lee and Third armies, but is more determined. “The captain and the yashas there had a lot of fights during this mission.”
“… … .”
“Originally, the first and second armies are operated with one hundred and fifty men, and the third armies are operated with two hundred men. There were not many casualties in the second and third armies, but the first army lost half of its men.”
“… … .”
“I will assign you to a group, that is, to a section.”
“All right.”
Yang Baek-ho smiled.
“Aren’t you scared? The character of each state there is very unique. As unique as he is, he has great insight and wisdom. Thanks to this, the unit has become stronger, but it also rolls a lot.”
“As of today, I have become a member of the Yaksha Command. “I just absolutely obey my superiors’ orders.”
“That sounds quite nice.”
“However, since the Commanding Lord has a positive opinion of my skills, may I ask you a favor?”
Yang Baek-ho thought. This guy’s voice is really hard.
He was a different type from Lee Cheon-sang. If Lee Cheon-sang’s voice reminded me of an emotionless rock or iron ore before it was processed, this one reminded me of a thick and strong tree.
“If I can listen, I will. “What is your favor?”
“I want to fight the unicorn.”
“The reason is?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s under a demon who is weaker than me. But I want to know who he is.”
“You want to know who it is? “I want to feel for myself what kind of person I am?”
“That’s right.”
“You’ll find out in a few days.”

“I don’t think there’s any better way to know a person than by fighting.”
Do you see this guy?
Yang Baek-ho thought things were getting more and more interesting. As a commanding lord, he shouldn’t have fun with such things, but the discrepancy between Yu Sang-cheon’s origins and personality was that unusual.
“I guess it doesn’t matter. “Doing chores with your affiliated yaksha is your superior’s business and not my business.”
“… … .”
“Ask me directly. “He probably won’t reject it.”
“All right.”
It was a tone that did not convey any sense of regret.
Yang Baek-ho kept trying to stop himself from laughing. For some reason, I felt like if I attached this guy to that guy, Cheon-sang Lee, something pretty interesting would happen.
Furthermore, I thought that if this guy was firmly established as a yaksha, it would be of great help to the workers.
Yang Baek-ho looked to the side.
Yuljeoksan, who had been standing there silently until now, closed his eyes.
“yes?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“That’s right.”
Yang Baek-ho pointed to the bundle on the table with his chin.
“Hand this friend over. And guide me to every corner.”
“All right.”
“And I don’t mind telling Ilgakju about the conversation I just heard.”
Yuljeoksan grumbled.
“If anyone sees me, they will think that I am a rare person.”
Yang Baek-ho, who completely ignored Yuljeoksan, spoke to Yoo Sang-cheon.
“That’s Yuljeoksan Mountain in Igakju. “Get familiar with the face first.”
Yuljeoksan grinned and held out the bundle, as if asking when he had complained.
“It’s called Lee Gakju Yuljeoksan Mountain. Nice to meet you.”
Yu Sang-cheon bowed his head and accepted the bundle without saying a word.
Yuljeoksan whetted his appetite. He had a hard time with these stiff, silent guys.
Yang Baek-ho raised both hands.
“Okay, let’s go out now. And Yoo Sang-cheon. “Congratulations on your enlistment.”
Two people from the commander’s office headed to a corner.
Yuljeoksan asked.
“You’re the grandson of the White Bone God Demon?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh, that’s right. “I didn’t even know he had grandchildren.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, I learned your recommendations.”
“That’s right.”
“I feel like there is a lot of prayer. That solid prayer is more impressive than the accomplishments you have achieved. “I envy you.”
Yoo Sang-cheon glanced at Yuljeoksan Mountain.
Yuljeoksan was stroking his chin and tasting his appetite. Why is there no such difficult and useful talent in our unit? He was muttering things like this, but his voice was so loud that even if I didn’t want to hear it, I had no choice but to listen.
Sangcheon Yoo opened his mouth.
“I have heard of the nickname ‘Red Lion.’”
In an instant, the smile disappeared from Yuljeoksan’s face.
He looked at Yu Sang-cheon with surprising eyes.
“Red lion… … It’s been a while since I heard this. But have you ever heard of that nickname? “I don’t think I’m the type of person to care about such things.”
“I heard that he is a master who is good at using strong fists to pressure his enemies based on his strong physical ability.”
“Hoo.”
“I heard that he is an expert who is more fearsome in a one-on-one battle than in a melee, and that when he gains momentum, he possesses the martial arts skills of a beast that no one can stop.”
Yuljeoksan smiled sheepishly.
“It’s a story from when I was immature. And as you probably know, if you just rush in like that without being able to control your momentum, you won’t live long.”
“You didn’t intend to live long, did you?”
“What kind of bloody words are you talking about? “I want to live long.”
“I heard that he was a person who fought countless battles with Gui Gukchang under the blood demon Yang Baekho. “He didn’t like power struggles and petty people, so he went under him.”
Yuljeoksan stopped walking.
With suddenly cool eyes, he asked quietly.
“Did you hear anything else?”
The expression changed, but the voice and tone of speech remained the same. It wasn’t intentional, but it seemed to make the other person nervous.
Sangcheon Yoo continued.
“I heard that when he is truly angry, he tears his enemies to pieces indiscriminately with both blood-red hands.”
“… … .”
“I heard that he also earned the nickname Red Lion at that time.”
Yuljeoksan, who was quietly looking at Yu Sangcheon, grinned again.
“It did. If you think about it, it was a time when I was truly unstoppable. Well, I’m not much older now.”
“… … .”
“I didn’t know you cared for me so deeply.”
“I am interested in those who are strong in bare-handed fighting.”
“Hoo, are you proud of this? “If the grandson of the White Bone God Demon is keeping an eye on me, I think I can hit it pretty well.”
“Even though I practiced it without a proper teacher, I heard that it is so good that it competes for the lead in Shingyo in terms of actual martial arts talent.”
Yuljeoksan laughed bitterly.
“It’s all just nonsense. Regardless of talent, effort, or saying things like this or that, it’s all meaningless. People live reality. “It’s not good to think of the past and feel sad or regretful.”
“We are Mine.”
“Isn’t Mine a person?”
Yu Sang-cheon’s eyes deepened.
Before we knew it, the two had reached the corner. I wasn’t particularly in a hurry, but I walked quickly so it was natural.
A strange sound came from behind one of the buildings. It looked as if someone was having a fight with baktujutsu.
“Listen carefully.”
Sangcheon Yoo saw Yuljeoksan Mountain.
Yuljeoksan said with a calm face.
“Whether or not you ask Ilgakju to do business with you is none of my business.”
“… … .”
“But I want you to keep this one thing in mind. Ilgakju is different from me and Gwichang. In a way, it can be said that he is the scariest person in the Yaksha Spirit.”
“You mean more than the command lord?”
“More than the command lord.”
“… … !”
“I have no mercy towards my enemies, and I do not show my true intentions to my own people. At least that’s what I thought before going out.”
“Do you mean it’s different now?”
“It is the same to have no mercy towards the enemy. And they are strict and even cold when it comes to incorrect behavior. However, he is a person who shows his true feelings transparently to his own people.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“It’s good. But it took a while for me to think that that tendency was good.”
“You seem to be a person with likes and dislikes.”
“At least he has much more likes and dislikes than you.”
“… … .”
“It doesn’t matter if you apply for a secret service from Ilgakju. However, actions that disrupt the unit’s atmosphere or violate rules must be strictly avoided. “Power and flattery don’t work for monopolists.”
“Good.”
Yoo Sang-cheol’s eyes lit up.
“I like people like that too.”
Yuljeoksan chuckled.
After a while.
bang!
With the sound of a drum exploding, someone flew across in front of the two people.
“Oops!”
There was a yaksha who was clutching his stomach and gurgling. He must have been hit so hard that his face turned white.
Yuljeoksan whistled.
“Isn’t this training too harsh from broad daylight?”
“Are you here?”
“You came. And here comes a gift.”
Yuljeoksan hit Yu Sangcheon on the back.
“Say hello. “That person is the owner of a corner, Lee Cheon-sang’s footnote.”
For a moment, Yoo Sang-cheon’s eyes wavered.
Muscles like the roots of a giant tree were writhing on his bare upper body. I screamed as the sunlight hit me, sweat dripping down my face.
Although he looked very dynamic, his face was actually still.
Phew.
The golden haze slowly dispersed.
After the demon-like energy disappeared, only an emotionless madman remained.
Yu Sang-cheon lowered his head.
“It’s called Yoo Sang-cheon. Some… … .”
“from now on.”
“yes?”
Lee Cheon-sang pointed in front of him with his chin.
“Get ready.”
