Chapter 118: Reform (4)Jin Hayeon, who had been looking at me for a moment, returned to her usual calm expression and looked at Master.
"Those are overly generous words of praise."
“Hahaha. I don't think Il-mok said anything untrue.”
Master, stroking his beard with the relaxed face of a country elder, suddenly turned serious and looked at me.
"Very well. I'll follow your opinions regarding the Hall of the Demonic Way and the children's education. However, that’s not the most pressing issue at hand, is it?”
Only now did the Hall Master of the Demonic Way seem to regain his senses, his surprised face returning to its usual stern expression.
"That's correct, Young Master Il-mok. We must first deal with Instructor Chu Il-hwan's matter."
Right. The original topic wasn't the fucked up education policy of the Demonic Cult.
It was about how to handle Chu Il-hwan who had attacked me, and whether Chu Il-hwan was truly a mole.
The only problem was...
'This goddamn side effect.’
My head was already spinning from the side effects, and once again it was starting to wring out every last drop of knowledge and wisdom I had.
And it was all connecting back to that damn education policy.
"Instructor Chu Il-hwan's matter can also be handled in connection with the Cult's educational system, Master."
"???"
Even Master looked at me with a face full of questions, as if he hadn't expected this.
"What do you mean by that?"
“Didn't we just decide to reform the Hall of the Demonic Way over the next three or four years before we raise the entry age? We can solve this problem through that reform.”
“Be specific.”
"Most of the students in the Hall of the Demonic Way have already learned Demonic Arts from a young age, leaving their minds unstable. And this applies to the instructors as well. Therefore, we should now station a physician from the Pure Mind Hall permanently at the Hall of the Demonic Way. For regular counseling and treatment."
"While that's a sound idea, I don't understand what it has to do with Instructor Chu Il-hwan's matter."
Master asked on everyone's behalf, but they all wore equally puzzled expressions.
"First, maintaining Chu Il-hwan's instructor position without holding him accountable in the current situation would be problematic."
I added an explanation for Master, who was tilting his head.hing was certain.
'If I had stayed there any longer, my Demonic Arts would have been shaken.'
The single jolt of emotion had made it feel burdensome to continue facing Young Master Il-mok.
'Is this the joy of being recognized?'
She decided to categorize this feeling as nothing more than a subordinate’s joy at being recognized by her master and composed herself.
'The White Hand Demonic Art isn't a martial art that only discards evil emotions. I can't disappoint the Young Master.'
Only by being able to discard even a feeling like joy could one truly reach the state of Extremity.
She immediately sat down in the lotus position and began to circulate the White Hand Demonic Art.
To become a person useful to Il-mok, she would willingly freeze away every last one of her emotions.
