I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 52

Episode 52: The Swordsman’s Assassination Squad

A few days have passed since the Bronze Devil incident.

I’ve gotten a little used to life here.

But the training ground had a strange atmosphere that was different from before.

Those who had gone on a retreat with me that day didn’t even want to talk to me, let alone make eye contact with me.

There was no mention of training.

He didn’t even bother Danyarang.

“Shigang. What happened?”

Dan Tae-yong, who couldn’t stand to watch, grabbed Shi-gang’s shoulder and asked.

“What! What, kid? Nothing happened.”

He swung his sword in vain, losing his temper.

The group was divided into two groups: one that avoided me and the other that looked at me with suspicion.

“Your Majesty! Could you please lift this? It’s too heavy.”

“Don’t joke. When I was younger, I could tell that much with my fingers… … .”

“Don’t lie. The little sect leader went to Kiru at that time… …. Oh! Why are you hitting me?”

“Shut up, man.”

Of course, there were some guys I became really close with.

Danya has been following me around the whole time and now she’s starting to say things that she wants to say.

“Chi-Woong, I will wash your clothes and bring them to you after your training is over. I also have to train.”

“Ugh… … . Got it.”

The atmosphere of the assassination squad was changing so subtly.

“Whew!”

There was still one guy who was still the same. Danshikang would always glare and spit whenever he saw me.

“Little Master. This… … .”

As I stared blankly to the side, Danyarang held out a neatly ironed blue robe.

It was the uniform of a guerrilla squad with the character for sword engraved on the chest.

“Wear it?”

“yes…….”

As I accepted the robe without thinking, I heard Dan Tae-yong’s voice from the other side.

“Would a great prince like you wear such shabby clothes? Make him a dragon robe and bring him one.”

“Tae-yong’s death penalty, wouldn’t the underwear worn by the women of the Hwanhee Palace suit you better?”

“Kihyohohoho.”

I glanced over and saw Dan Taeyong smirking, while the rest were glaring at me blatantly.

When one becomes quiet, the rest go wild.

I placed my hand on Danya’s shoulder as she passed by and asked her in a casual manner.

“Hey.”

“yes.”

“Who is the tall and skinny guy next to Dan Tae-yong? Doesn’t he have an unusual smile? He seems like a supporting actor.”

There are two people next to Dan Tae-yong.

One of them was nothing special, but the one who burst into a strange laugh was a man with a large clown face, a long, thin body, and narrow eyes that stood out.

“Uh… … . Single-shot death penalty?”

“It’s a bongo.”

Dan Tae-yong and Dan Bong.

Are they just the same guys as Danshikang and Danyeok?

“Oh, yes. But why?”

“Can you help me for a moment?”

“Yes? But I have something to do… … .”

“Did he order it again?”

Of course, he’s a short-sighted person. Danya-rang made a helpless expression, then nodded and said.

“yes…….”

It’s simple, I shouted out loud.

“See you!”

“What the hell? You called me with such bad luck?”

“I’ll take him away for a bit.”

“Hey, what are you talking about!”

“Okay? Let’s go.”

“Ugh… … !”

I took quick strides, pulling Danyarang’s body.

“A dog like…”

The sound of Danshikang’s curse can be heard again from behind, but no action is taken.

I pretended not to hear anything and just left the training ground.

*Arriving at the well with Danyarang, I first changed into my robe. It had been a long time since I had worn such symbolic clothing since the Pungryongui (風龍衣). Perhaps it was because of the memories, but I didn’t feel bad about it.

The problem is that it’s just a famous school’s clothes.

“Why did you call me? Did you call me to see if I fit in? Yes, I fit in. Is that okay?”

Danyarang spoke coldly. Looking at his expression, he looked cold and narrow-minded.

I shrugged and said nonchalantly.

“That’s obvious. I have a question.”

“Oh, yes. I guess so. What is it?”

“Why are you crying? You’re not even a kid.”

“I don’t want to refuse Shi Kang’s request.”

“Why? I think he hates you the most.”

“There is a good reason for that.”

“What is that?”

“… … I don’t want to talk about it. And don’t ignore me for doing chores. It’s something I have to do as the youngest.”

“You’ve never done that before?”

“Don’t lie.”

“Why is preparing for work so much work? It’s a blessing.”

“yes……?”

Ignoring the surprised Danya, he sat down quietly on the stone by the well and got to the main point.

“What is the role of the assassination squad?”

No one knows his stuff better than the youngest.

“That… …Why are you curious all of a sudden? You never asked before.”

“Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been here. I feel like I don’t know much.”

“From the perspective of the sect leader, aren’t they just a group?”

“When laypeople gather together, they become a group, and groups gather together to become a sect. A sect creates a palace, and a palace creates a teaching. If even those who stay with them do not try to know, how is that any different from a small sect leader not knowing the teaching?”

“… … Is that so?”

“Okay, so tell me now.”

Danyarang shook her head, came to her senses, looked around, picked up a branch, and began to draw a picture on the ground while explaining.

“There are three groups representing the Swordsmanship. One is the Cheonghwa Group, the most elite group that moves for the Lord or the Princess. Then there is the Baekbyeong Group, which the majority belong to. Lastly, there is the Chuksal Group, which stirs up the enemy camp at the front and pursues the enemy to the end.”

I nodded. The role of the Pungryongdae was not much different.

Usually, in such organizations, mental strength takes precedence over martial arts. It was not easy to take the first step against a complete enemy.

You can tell just by looking at me, the leader of the cult, and showing my teeth.

“It seems like the population here is younger than other places. Why is that?”

“The assassination squad… … all have no family.”

Isn’t the Sword Palace itself a family?

I looked at him in bewilderment. Yarang seemed to have anticipated my thoughts and continued with a hollow smile.

“Not everyone with the Dan surname has no family. But all the members of the Cheoksaljo are orphans. That’s why the young lady who treated them like family is special to them all.”

Was that so?

It seems that for them, the woman named Dan Ye-hwa was a complete family member.

“Hmm… … Then what about Danjiho? I haven’t seen his face for a while. Don’t you call him Master?”

“Yes. Because if you call him ‘Master,’ he will be respected. No one calls him ‘Chief’ like that.”

Danyarang spoke firmly, as if proudly.

If he was recognized to this extent by the youngest, I thought that he was a pretty manly person, even though he had a fiery temper.

“You have great faith in your leader.”

“I’m not the only one. I can confidently say that there is no one in the Sword Palace who hates the young lady and the leader.”

miss…….

I feel embarrassed again for no reason.

I avoided eye contact and smiled bitterly.

“Anyway, the reason everyone hates the Little Leader is because his skills are only top-notch compared to his status, but the biggest reason is because he took the young lady away.”

Thanks for reminding me again.

So, isn’t that why you came here with the intention of repaying your sins?

Feeling frustrated, I changed the subject again.

“… … More than that, what is the hierarchy within the assassination squad?”

In response to my question, Danya took a shallow breath without saying a word, got up, and walked towards the training ground.

As we followed behind calmly, Danyarang continued speaking in a low voice as we entered the training ground.

[In the death squad, you only need to know the four death row in order to know the order. You saw him, right? Only the supporting characters above the order.]

As I turned my head to follow Danyarang, I saw a large, rugged man with his bare body enduring three attacks with his eyes closed.

He’s the one who whispered in my ear when I was dealing with the Bronze Devil.

Thud, thud, thud!

“Big! Is this all you can do? You’re weak and falling.”

The crew members clenched their teeth and swung their wooden swords, but it was no use. Their sturdy muscles, as if they had mastered external techniques, seemed to repel everything like a defensive weapon.

“Whoaap!”

As if he was getting tired of it, Yeokman raised both his arms and the wooden sword shattered with a loud crash.

“Ugh. It’s my turn now.”

“Ugh… … .”

“F-f*ck… … .”

After that, all that was shown was the scene of him being grabbed by the collar by the police and being thrown to the floor.

Once again, Danyarang turned her head. This time, there was a tall figure standing behind a large shield that blocked the view in all directions, facing the men.

[Third in the hierarchy, single-handed executioner. He is known as the most eccentric person in the assassination squad. Of course, his skills are certain.]

At that moment, Danbong’s long arm twisted like a snake and with an irregular attack, he dodged the shield and accurately stabbed the opponent.

“Ugh!”

“Oh oh… …? Hiding is of no use, right?”

It seemed like he was someone who valued cheerfulness and joy. It matched his naturally long body type perfectly.

“Hey, stop it!”

As the northern crew member fell backwards, his body covered by his shield, the rest of the crew quickly moved to fill the empty space.

One of them slipped through the gap and slammed the shield lying on the ground, then jumped up and swung his sword at the other three.

“Hey hey hey!”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“Ahhh… … .”

The crew members, who had been stabbed in the back of the neck, fell forward toward each other.

If that hadn’t been a wooden sword, the three would have already lost their lives. The one on the floor… …looks like he’s already passed out.

“So this is how the match was decided. Kyohoho!”

[I can definitely tell you’re a weirdo.]

As soon as the signal was sent, Danya-rang smiled bitterly and this time turned her gaze to the center.

There, Taeyong, with his cross-shaped scar carved into him, and Shikang, who looked obviously vulgar, stood facing each other.

All the remaining crew members had already gathered around to watch this.

[The two highest ranked brothers are Dan Shi-gang and Dan Tae-yong. So far, they have 127 wins and 128 losses. It’s hard to say who is higher, but one thing is certain… … .]

A heavy sigh was felt naturally in Danyarang’s voice.

The guy didn’t continue speaking and instead watched the two fight.

“Shigang. Is that okay?”

“Ugh. You better take care of yourself. I’m in a really shitty mood today.”

“Please note.”

Taeyong and Si-gang chatted lightly, but they also circled around each other, thoroughly spying on each other.

Phew!

And without saying who would go first, they both shot forward at the same time.

If you’ve sparred hundreds of times already, you know each other better than anyone else.

You must have felt that it is not easy to find a loophole.

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

The first to take the lead was Danshigang.

Even though the blade was dull, the white noise of the wind blowing through the smoke filled the smokehouse.

It was a simple and perfect sword strike aimed at the left shoulder without a single inch of error. Even if it was blocked, it was enough to start a series of attacks.

Exactly!

As Dan Tae-yong barely managed to block it, as expected, Shi-gang turned his body around and tried to cut his right waist this time.

But.

Bam!

Contrary to expectations that Taeyong would defend himself, he kicked Shikang in the side.

“Ugh… .”

The moment Shigang was pushed back and hesitated, Taeyong’s counterattack began. Unlike Shigang who mainly used Kwai and Hwan, his black sword contained the secrets of the middle and the river.

Shhhhh!

Taeyong’s sword thrusts forward and stabs fiercely.

Shigang pushed away the body that was being pushed and turned his body over, letting his one second pass. At the same time, he quickly raised his left foot and hit Taeyong Cha’s elbow.

Pot!

Taeyong’s wooden sword flew into the sky, spinning, and Shikang took a step back so as not to miss it, then jumped up again and stabbed with his sword.

On the other hand, Taeyong looked embarrassed as he looked back and forth between the wooden sword and the sword.

“Today is the approval of Shi Kang’s death penalty?!”

The crowd was in an uproar.

But in my eyes, the fight is not over yet.
