I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(72)

Results prove the process

“It’s also Sejin. I’m okay with that second school student, but I don’t think I can compete with her at all.”

“It’s a natural result since we’ve been winning since freshman year.”

Still, I have already endured 3 minutes, probably because I am a student who made it to the finals.

However, it didn’t seem like it would last more than 5 minutes, but sure enough, Se-jin blew the other student’s spear away.

Then, as the sword is aimed at the neck, the opponent raises his hand.

“Winner Kim Se-jin!”

The referee’s decision is met with cheers and applause from the crowd.

“Shouldn’t I go and hug you and say that you did a good job?”

“Mr. Hong, wouldn’t that be overkill? I’ve said it before, but it’s a natural result… . We can celebrate when we come down.”

Of course there was applause.

Martial Arts Tournament winner for 3 consecutive years.

The main character who will enter the school two years later will also set the same record, but our Sejin takes the title of first.

I was going to briefly say my impressions and approach Sejin as he came down from the arena to congratulate me, but so many students, including student council executives, classmates, and our kids, approached and congratulated me. There is no room for me to intervene.

I haven’t been able to say congratulations yet, but the awards ceremony has begun.

In fact, right now, Sejin is really angry with me.

When the round of 32 was held the day before yesterday, I arrived just in time with him on my back.

The match started exactly at 2:00, but there was a draw at 1:30.

Like the preliminaries, the finals were conducted in a way that numbers were drawn in order of name to determine the opponent, but fortunately, I was not disqualified and entered the last remaining seat.

However, in the round of 32, a teacher from another school who was instructing a student against Sejin raised a complaint, saying that if he did not come during the match, he should be disqualified.

Perhaps it was because if the lottery was done in order of name, his student could not have been against Sejin.

It was only the order of the lottery that was changed, and I arrived before the start time of the game, so I thought there was no problem, but the relevant regulations were not clearly set, so I was in danger of being disqualified.

Sejin hoped that he would come up with some kind of excuse soon, but as soon as he heard the sound of disqualification, he bowed his head with a disappointed look on his face, so I made an excuse instead.

He said Sejin was late because he was severely constipated.

It’s nothing else, it’s because of the menstrual phenomenon, so could you please understand?

I was in too much of a hurry to say anything, but the effect was amazing.

Our vice-principal and other school vice-principals, who acted as judges for the martial arts competition, as well as the teacher who had complained, made faces, but eventually agreed.

Conversely, Sejin glared at me with an expression that looked like he was going to eat me, but he promised to teach me properly from now on, but I couldn’t let him get disqualified like that.

I was worried that he would sprinkle ashes on the finished rice, saying that it was not Sejin, but fortunately, he did not deny it either.

I’m a little sorry, but thanks to that excuse, I was able to avoid being disqualified and win the championship.

I’m graduating soon anyway, and I’m going to teach martial arts in the future, so I’d like you to move on… From that day on, the expression on my face is as cold as the north wind and cold snow.

I was thinking about how to appease him when a man came up to me.

“Hey, you’re Professor Kang Shin-hyuk, right?”

“Ah, yes. you’re right.”

Now that I see it, I am a PD who has been filming martial arts competitions from the first day until today.

“I heard that the teacher helped Ms. Sejin prepare for the martial arts competition this time. After the awards ceremony, we are going to interview the winners. Could Mr. Kang appear?”

“Yes. All right.”

The interview was held right after the awards ceremony.

“Let’s meet student Sejin Kim, who set a record of winning the martial arts competition for the first time in three consecutive years in the martial arts competition called the flower of the Hunter school festival, and teacher Shinhyeok Kang who helped us. hello.”

“hello. I am Kim Se-jin, a 3rd year student at the 1st Hunter School.”

“hello. I am Kang Shin-hyeok, the swordsmanship teacher at the 1st Hunter School.”

“Student Sejin Kim, congratulations. It was really impressive how he never lost his composure throughout the game. Are there any opponents who felt a little bit intimidating?”

“that is… I don’t think there was anything… .”

“hahahaha. If someone else said that, they would call it arrogant, but Sejin Kim has won since his freshman year, so he deserves it. Then, changing the question a bit, this year is the last year for Kim Se-jin.”

It’s true, but I was worried that I might be criticized for sounding arrogant like the moderator said, but fortunately, they packaged it well.

“Yes.”

“Is there any student who is likely to play an active part in next year’s martial arts competition?”

“there is.”

“I don’t think Gu-yoon Hwang, whom I met in the finals, is a junior, so who is he?”

“One of my juniors is Seo Eun-soo, this time she fell in the quarterfinals, but since her sophomore year she has been practicing, so I think if she builds up more mana and develops all the time like now, she will be able to achieve good grades.”

I don’t know if you’re watching the interview, but I think Eunsoo would really like it if he heard it.

“You were a student of Seo Eun-soo. Undoubtedly, Seo Eun-su was also very impressive for a freshman. I didn’t win the championship in the first year like Sejin. Come to think of it, didn’t Teacher Kang Shin-hyeok teach Seo Eun-soo?”

“Ah yes. you’re right.”

“I’m already looking forward to next year’s martial arts competition. Now, this question may be a bit sensitive, but you won the Mutu competition and secured the right to participate in the WHCU, which will be held in January next year. In the last tournament, it was really disappointing to meet the winner, Bianca, and get eliminated in the first round.”

“I think it can’t be helped because I lost because I lacked my skills, but I’m sorry for disappointing many people who supported me, and it was very disappointing personally.”

“I wonder how you plan to prepare for this WHCU competition.”

“We plan to prepare for the competition together with Mr. Kang, who is next to us, to help us.”

“With Teacher Kang? Since it’s vacation soon, I thought we’d go to the Ares Guild where Sejin Kim’s father lives and do special training, but that’s surprising.”

“that is… I thought it would be better to prepare with the teacher rather than going to the Ares Guild for special training… .”

“Student Sejin’s trust in Teacher Kang is great. Then, I would like to ask Mr. Kang a question. Sejin won the championship and Seo Eun-soo advanced to the quarterfinals despite being a freshman. Is there any special secret?”

“There is nothing special to say. I don’t think it’s because I taught well, but I think it’s the result of the students’ hard work.”

Even though Eunsoo received a lot of help from Pahoeshik, if she hadn’t worked hard, she wouldn’t have been able to make it to the quarterfinals, and Sejin would have won the championship even if I hadn’t taught her.

“That is a very humble answer. How far do you think Sejin can go in the WHCU competition next year?”

“I think your question is a bit misleading.”

“Yes?”

“I never thought about how far I would go. Our goal is to win.”

As soon as he finishes talking, Sejin looks at me with a slightly embarrassed expression, but it seems he didn’t know that I would openly talk about it in an interview.

“Wow, Mr. Kang’s confidence is amazing. Many people expected Bianca, the winner of the last competition, to win this competition as well… .”

“I don’t think I need to say more now. Results will prove the process.”

* * *

Two weeks have already passed since the festival ended.

The response to the interview with the winner of the Martial Arts competition was quite enthusiastic, and many media outlets received many offers for additional interviews through the school.

However, the week right after the festival was the final exam, and it was the end of the year, so I had a lot of work, so I didn’t respond.

Anyway, I said everything in the interview at that time.

“Then, let’s finish the vacation ceremony above.”

As soon as the teacher in charge of the host finished speaking, the students rushed out of the auditorium.

All the students leaving the auditorium had smiles on their faces, and they all seemed excited because it was vacation.

Even if it’s a vacation, it’s not a vacation because of the preparation for the competition at the end of January.

From the week after the martial arts competition, he used reinforcement time to teach martial arts to Sejin.

The source of the martial art was said to have been found in a portal when he was dispatched to China, but at first he was a bit skeptical.

It is not that there are no martial arts novels in this world.

Se-jin doesn’t normally read martial arts novels, but if you search the Internet for words like martial arts and martial arts, you’ll find them all related to martial arts novels.

However, he asked me to trust him because it was the secret to how quickly I became strong, and after using the Inner Mind Act once, my doubts disappeared like melting snow.

So, for the past two weeks, I focused on converting basic knowledge of martial arts and current mana into inner strength without any Dalian.

“Finally it’s vacation. Time flies so fast. When Mr. Kang was on vacation… Ah, Sejin decided to help with training, right?”

“Yes. It starts today.”

Originally, I was planning to start after resting for about 2-3 days, if not a week, but Sejin said he really wanted to train, so I decided to start right away from today.

The A-rank portals that occur in Seoul have been completely swept away by large guilds, so competition is fierce.

Therefore, with many portals appearing, I decided to work in Gangwon-do, where there are few large guilds, and since it is far away, commuting to and from work would be difficult, so I settled for a lodging.

At first, I thought of a hotel in Gangneung or Chuncheon, but I rented a pension because I thought it would be difficult to teach martial arts comfortably as there are people watching and CCTVs everywhere.

It’s a pension close to Mt. Seorak in Inje-gun, but it’s a bit out of the way, but I’ll do everything by car anyway, and there’s a mart a short distance away.

Above all, it was close to the portal where the master was located, so it was easy to stop by, so I decided to stay at the pension.

“Sir, I heard you are going to Gangwon-do during vacation?”

It’s Minhee’s guy.

“Yes, but why?”

“Sir, we are going to the ski resort together during vacation, and the teacher is going too.”

“What is a ski resort? Teacher, I am not going to Gangwon-do to play.”

“Isn’t February fine? The competition ends in January.”

“Guys, teachers are people too. You should take a break too.”

“Teacher, you said last time that if you advance to the finals, you will receive one more wish. I will write it.”

Eunsoo, I thought you forgot because you didn’t say anything after the martial arts competition.

“Did the teacher say that? I remember well… .”

“You’re not saying you’re not doing well, are you? We’ve all heard.”

Chet. I tried to get over it, but it didn’t work, so I decided to go together around the beginning of February, and returned to the dormitory, saying good-bye to the kids for a good vacation.

I’ve been to a sledding range since I was young, but I’ve never been to a ski resort… well, it will work somehow

I feel a vibration in my pocket as I move my luggage that I packed yesterday into the car.

When I took it out, it was Sejin.

“Yes, Sejin. Have you packed all your things?”

-Yes. I had it sorted out yesterday. Where can I go?

“Don’t you have a lot of luggage? The teacher was going to take the car to the front of the dormitory.”

―It’s a backpack and a carrier, so I can carry it.

“But since I’m on my way out anyway, would you like to wait at the entrance of the dorm?”

-I know.

After loading all my luggage, I go to the female dormitory and see Se-jin carrying my luggage.

We got off, loaded the luggage together, and picked up Sejin.

“Sir, how long does it take to get to your accommodation?”

“Well. It takes a little over two hours on the navigator, but since there will be many parents in front of the school, wouldn’t it take a little longer?”

When I left the main gate, the road was clogged with cars, reminiscent of the way home from the holidays.

I regretted that I should have started a little slower, but I still got out of school faster than I thought.

“Can I really not come home?”

“it’s okay. I told you a few days ago, but he said he would understand without saying anything.”

“Your mother too?”

“Oh, my mother said to stop by for a while… .”

“Then, shall we stop by for a moment?”

“No. Right now, the competition comes first, so you can call often instead.”

Still, it is fortunate that my mother is different from Kim Dae-chan.

“there… Sir, are you going to eat lunch?”

“You can do that, or you can eat at a rest area on the way. The teacher doesn’t matter, so you choose.”

“Then go eat. Teacher Hong and Teacher Kim would also like to eat together.”

“yes? Teacher Hong and Teacher Kim aren’t coming today?”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t I tell you last time? Both of you have work, so they’ll be back in three days.”
