Chapter 367

[(Side story) Employee welfare at Lim’s Restaurant]
– Morning class. Sensory enhancement training.
“Ughhhhh!”
Soshinhan, who felt his life was in danger, screamed and threw himself to the side. A fireball the size of a basketball passed him and crashed into the wall behind him.
-Phew!
The aftermath of the explosion alone brought a terrible heat.
‘If you hit something like that squarely…’
Soshinhan shouted, turning his head in the direction from which the fireball came.
“Lily you! Are you planning to kill me?!”
There was Lily, sitting at the picnic table and eagerly tearing off a chicken leg.
-Roaring!
Lily, with a new flame floating in the air, blinked her big eyes with a natural expression.
“If I avoid it, I won’t die, right?”
“If you can’t avoid it, you’ll die!”
“Then you can avoid it, right?”
“You, you, you, really!”
In a situation where common sense and conversation did not work, Soshinhan pounded his chest, but it only hurt him.
“no way. just joke.”
Lily smiled brightly, waving the chicken leg she was holding in her hand like a symbol of peace.
“It’s okay because I adjusted it to the point where I wouldn’t die from one hit. hmm. “It might be a bit dangerous in three or four rooms… but there are a lot of potions anyway.”
Lily pointed to the top-quality potion bottles piled generously next to the chicken box.
Some of them were empty, but they were all used by Sosinhan.
…It means that he died and came back to life just as much as the potion bottle over there.
“Then let’s start again!”
“Lily! wait for a sec! “I have something to say!”
“What should I say?”
Soshinhan barely stopped Lily’s attack and then desperately shook his head.
‘What should I say?’
Coincidentally, Daine and Lilith went out together to run errands today, so Lily was in charge of morning training alone.
How disgusting it is to see a little guy eating chicken and only sending sparks flying from afar…
‘Anyway, he’s still better than the boss.’
“What do you have to say?”
Unlike the boss, who told me to say what he had to say after training and brandished a wooden sword, Lily at least waited.
“So…”
Soshinhan thought hard.
If you were the boss, there would be no room for trickery, but if Lily was still young, wouldn’t you be able to persuade her to relax somehow?
“…Would you like to go eat pork cutlet?”
“Don cutlet?”
As expected, it responded immediately to food.
Soshinhan, who saw Lily’s eyes change brightly, lied without even putting saliva in his mouth.
“huh. I recently found out about a delicious pork cutlet restaurant nearby. “The pork cutlet there is really delicious.”
“Then let’s go eat after training!”
Soshinhan stumbled for a moment at the unexpected counterattack.
“They say they’re only open for business until lunchtime. And I’m going on vacation starting tomorrow…”
It felt like Soshinhan was going to die because he was tired enough to come up with such a lame excuse.
“I’ll buy you the pork cutlet…”
But Soshinhan didn’t know.
The girl in front of me may seem innocent on the outside, but she is a veteran superhuman who has gone through all kinds of mountain warfare and dogfights and fought against all kinds of villains.
This means that a hastily made lie can be easily detected.
“wow. Mr. So, I didn’t see it that way… Are you lying because you don’t want to train now?
Lily narrowed her eyebrows and glared at him.
“Uh no. “That’s not it, I just…”
Soshinhan stuttered in embarrassment at Lily’s reaction, which was different from what he expected.
“joy.”
Lily snorted and waved the half-eaten chicken leg in the air like a magic wand! I swung.
-Roaring! Grumble! Grumble!
-Roaring! Grumble! Grumble!
-Roaring! Grumble! Grumble!
Fireworks began to increase one by one in the air, and soon they were in full bloom, covering the sky.
“Li Li Lily! “Wait a minute…”
Soshinhan stepped back with a pale face and looked at Lily.
The girl glared at the liar with a sullen expression.
“I told you to double the intensity of the training if you act trickier during the training.”
“This is much more than twice as much!”
“Question and answer dance! “You lied about food, so you should be put to death!”
As the chicken leg Lily was holding was aimed at Sosinhan, a fireball covering the sky in red poured down.
And all at different speeds and angles.
“Aaaahhh!”
Soshinhan frantically dodged the attack with screaming spirit.
-Whisk! Whick! Whick!
I mobilized all my senses to anticipate an attack and moved and moved, squeezing the muscles of my entire body to their limit.
“Aaaahhh!”
Training that pushes you to your limit every day.
Thanks to this, Soshinhan’s senses and ability to manipulate his body have developed rapidly in recent years, to the point where he can now sense attacks coming from behind even if he closes his eyes and covers his ears.
Of course, knowing it didn’t mean everything could be prevented.
“Huh huh huh…!”
As time passed, I became out of breath, lost my concentration, and my feet became tangled, and I ended up allowing the attacks one by one.
-Phew! Pow! Bubble bubbling!
About 10 minutes later, So Shin-han lay down on the floor looking gaunt, with the hair on his entire body scorched by the fire.
All of his gray, almost silver fur had turned black, and smoke was rising from his entire body.
“Kill me…”
Lily came up next to Soshinhan, who was lying in a state unable to open his eyes and gave him a potion.
Lily said, patting Soshinhan’s shoulder with her small hand.
“It’s shameful that I lied earlier, but I’m really good at avoiding it now, right?”
“…really?”
“huh!”
The corners of his mouth twitched without hesitation at Lily’s praise.
In fact, I felt more confident about myself than anyone else.
The recent training did not result in a sharp increase in physical ability or magical power.
But…
‘I think I know how to use my body properly now.’
Soshinhan was gradually gaining complete control over his body and magical senses.
It was true that training was really hard, but it also felt satisfying.
“Then I’ll take a 10-minute break and then do it again!”
“…no. After all, it would be better to die…”
So Shin-han sighed in despair, but got up and sat cross-legged.
“Seuup… Huu-”
He was exhilarated by the internal training method that his boss had taught him not long ago – I asked him what the training method was, but Daein didn’t tell him that it was nothing – and replayed the movements from the training just before in his head.
***
-Afternoon classes. martial arts training.
So Shinhan looked at the people standing in front of him with surprised rabbit-like eyes.
‘Why why are these people here….’
Today, four instructors from Moorim were specially invited to replace Daein, who was absent.
“Cluck. Let’s see how much you’ve learned.”
The three friends of the world gathered in the backyard of Im Sikdang, led by Cheonma, who had a never-ending smile on her face as her love affairs went well recently.
“Oh my. There is nothing to be discouraged. Feel free to unfold what you have learned.”
With a gentle expression, Geomseong told Sosinhan to use his martial arts skills. He also recently had a pink meeting with Jang Young-shin’s mother.
…But if there are people who have a partner, there are also people who don’t.
“this guy! “Can’t you do it right?”
“conflict! The basics of footwork are not there! “Basic!”
The two legends of the political faction shouted at Sosinhan, spewing out such bloody energy that one might think they were the heads of a dog bird.
They were Dowang and Sinchang, who still could not escape Solo.
“Eight! There isn’t a single corner I like! “Why is there so much hair on my body?”
“yes? That’s inevitable when you transform…”
“Why don’t you talk back to an adult!” The upper water must be clear for the lower water to be clear! After all, the teacher is the disciple!”
It seems that the two old men wanted to vent their anger under the pretext of teaching martial arts.
“Cluck. Such pathetic guys. “Why are you taking out your anger on the fact that you couldn’t find a partner?”
“Tsk tsk. “I’m embarrassed because of you all.”
Cheonmugeuk, who saw the scene from the side, giggled and Geomseong also clicked his tongue as if it was pitiful.
“Shut up you bastards!”
“You bastards! “Are you still sworn brothers?”
“Cluck, click, click.”
“Tsk tsk.”
At that time, Lily, who was eating a snack and watching Soshinhan’s martial arts training, sighed.
“Grandpa Sinchang, the king of Dao. “I think I know why you don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Whoops…!”
“Cough!”
The girl achieved a critical blow that even the Heavenly Demon and the Sword Saint could not achieve.
In any case, the four old men who were invited as daily instructors taught Sosinhan with sincerity on behalf of Daein.
What this means is that right before he died, he put the highest quality potion to one side and rolled it around to the point where it wouldn’t be strange even if he died.
After the afternoon classes were over.
-dump.
Soshinhan lay down on the floor again and looked at the sky.
“Haa….”
I felt like a rag that had been squeezed with all my might.
This means that my entire body and mind were completely shaken.
“The damn weather is clear without a single cloud…”
Then Lily came over and told me about the next class.
“The third period is character strengthening training. “Professor Ho…Guho will come and teach you.”
“huh. Okay…”
Again.
A single tear flowed down the corner of Soshinhan’s eye.
***
For the next few weeks, Soshinhan spent most of his time eating, sleeping, and training at Lim’s Restaurant, except for classes at WHA – to have natural contact with Anjun at school.
WHA’s classes, which had been difficult to follow, now felt like a warm-up exercise.
“Seup… Huu-”
Soshinhan took a long breath, concentrated his energy, and slowly opened his eyes.
His body was not noticeably bigger than before, but it became as hard as a marble stone, and his eyes calmed down.
Now, there was an air that could only be found in a veteran who had fought many life-or-death battles.
“Isn’t that almost a modification of a human being?”
Lilith, who saw that Soshinhan’s mood had changed completely, looked back at Daein with a puzzled expression.
The great man spoke as he stirred the special mana nutritional food to be fed to Sosinhan with a ladle.
“What about renovation? “It’s finally at a usable level.”
“That’s the standard for an old man…”
By the standards of adults, he may still be no different from a young chick, but compared to a few weeks ago, he was just like any other person.
‘Well, each and every one of them provided support every day, which was like a lifelong gift…’
High-quality mana nutritional food and one-on-one intensive tutoring provided by the best instructors at each level in turns.
Events that others would never experience in their lifetime were everyday occurrences for Soshinhan.
“Well, if you were his disciple, you would probably get that much benefit.”
“That’s because you’re not a disciple. hmm. “This should be enough.”
Lilith shook her head in response, which was now almost like a reaction.
“You know how difficult it is to be persuasive even when you speak for yourself, right? “What Shinhan oppa is learning now is Pacheon Shin-gong.”
Instead of answering yes or no, Daein lightly shrugged his shoulders.
“Let’s assume our restaurant has excellent employee welfare.”
“…If we just hire a few more employees, we’ll conquer the universe.”
At that time, Soshinhan got up from his lotus position and walked towards the two people.
Because the trick had been laid out in advance, So Shin-han could not hear the conversation between the two people.
“president. There’s something I’d like to ask you about the martial arts skills you taught me before…”
“Really? “Let’s eat this first.”
The great man laid out the completed mana nutrition meal on the table, and the two sat across from each other and had a heated conversation about martial arts while eating.
Mostly, it was the small person asking questions and the big person providing explanations.
‘You’re still saying I’m not a disciple?’
Lilith looked at Daein with disgust, but Daein didn’t seem to notice her gaze as he was concentrating on teaching martial arts to his only employee.
***
A few days later, an order came from Redfinger to bring in new believers to Anjun.
