Chapter 190 : Emergency Response Committee
Recently, Murong Yoo had been living a life that could not be better.
The days he had always dreamed of in the past.
Training under the best teachers, feeling the reward of growth every day, and strengthening his friendship with his peers.
Murong Yoo, considering the fairness with other students, had been finally eliminated from the promotion examination and was now in the supplementary class.
He took classes in the supplementary class during the day and trained with his grandfathers at night.
And so, while living a restless life for about a year, Murong Yoo came to realize one fact.
Perhaps because he had been living the life he had dreamed of for so long, he had completely forgotten.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Today was the day he was training with his younger grandfather.
"Grandpa, you know. Why am I training so hard right now?"
The martial world was more peaceful than ever.
The world was also stable without any particularly rough spots.
Of course, this life of daily development was what I wanted.
In the past, how many tears had I shed during the days when I only tried and my skills did not improve.
But there was a limit. Isn't it okay to train a little more loosely now?
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Obvious?"
"Yes. Don't you have to lead the Divine Cult in the future?"
I also know now. That my dad is a direct descendant of the leader. So I will also become a direct descendant, and I will inherit the position of leader in the future.
But you know. Even if I think about it, that will be a very distant future.
Judging from the ages of the current leader and my dad, wouldn't it be about 50 years from now?
Or the current leader could just continue.
"Grandpa, in order, isn't my dad supposed to be the leader?"
"Phew, you see. There's a big reason for that."
"A reason?"
"Hmm... It seems it will be a very important story, so come to my office tonight."
At my grandfather's serious atmosphere, I didn't ask any more and just nodded.
When night came, there were quite a few people in the office I visited.
"You're here."
The current leader, Hyuk Won-sang, who was praised for having achieved the most peaceful era among the past leaders of the Divine Cult.
The former leader, Hyuk Sa-wol, who had unified the martial world for the first time and had achieved the greatest achievement in the history of the Divine Cult.
The person who had first broken the balance between the Divine Cult and the Righteous Faction, and one of the candidates for the best under the heavens that everyone acknowledged, the former leader, Yoo Jin-sung.
In terms of talent, the one who was called the best in history, the hidden blade of the Divine Cult, Yoo Soo-ah.
Simply put, all the direct descendants of the leader, except for my dad, were gathered in one place.
"Why is everyone gathered here?"
"For now, sit down. Because we are going to have a very important conversation from now on."
When I sat down, my great-grandfather, the biggest adult here, continued.
"Originally, according to the principle, Jae-ha should be the next leader."
I nodded.
"But if Jae-ha becomes the leader, the Divine Cult will end like this."
When I tilted my head, not knowing the reason, my younger grandfather continued.
"Jae-ha is more than excellent and is a person who is absolutely necessary for the Divine Cult. But he is lazy."
"What?"
It was an incomprehensible statement. As a martial artist, I can say that a lazy person can never become a master.
No matter how much of a natural talent one has, a person who is not supported by effort is bound to be eliminated.
Because that is martial arts.
How many geniuses have appeared and disappeared in this world.
This is all because of a lack of effort.
"Jae-ha's talent is the best in history! But his laziness is also the best in history! If Jae-ha becomes the leader like this, the Divine Cult... no! The world will surely be destroyed!"
I secretly looked at my aunt. She was an aunt who would not compromise an inch when it came to my dad. A strange older sister who always had the modifier 'great' on her lips when talking about me.
The fact that such an aunt was still meant that what was being said now was true with a very high probability.
Still, I believed in my dad.
"Excuse me, isn't that an absurd statement? My dad is still working hard to protect the world."
"He does what he's told to do well. It's just that he doesn't do anything on his own."
The one who was speaking with a sigh was the current leader and my uncle.
My uncle continued with tears in his eyes.
"This is all because Jae-ha had a hard time since he was young."
"It's because we all couldn't do our roles properly."
This was my younger grandfather.
"If we had let him live a life of honey from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened."
This was my great-grandfather.
"Let's let my older brother live a life of honey a little more."
This was my aunt.
Although I thought they were being too lenient with my dad, I, who had the lowest rank here, could not argue.
My great-grandfather said to me seriously.
"So if Jae-ha becomes the leader, you, as the young leader, must diligently lead this Divine Cult! Your mission is very important!"
This sounded like I had to take the blame for everything.

Supplementary class.
I was thinking about what had happened last night.
"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
At the question of Paeng Yoo-ran, who was taking the class with me, I confessed my worries.
"You see, yesterday..."
"I see."
"You're not as surprised as I thought."
"Well, I had a rough idea. Seeing the promotion examination back then, and the recent actions of several people."
"Actions?"
Namgung Cheon, who was next to me, joined the conversation.
"Yoo, you seem to be clueless sometimes."
"Me?"
"Yes. Look over there."
The place Namgung Cheon was pointing to was a wall.
On top of it, two heads had popped out, and when they made eye contact with me, they quickly went back in.
"Those two have always been here observing you since we started taking the supplementary class."
The identity of those two was my great-grandfather and my younger grandfather.
"And it's not just those two. Look at the roof over there."
When I looked at the roof, another head appeared and then disappeared. It was my uncle.
"In a situation like this, we can also guess easily. About who the leaders are looking at with affectionate gazes."
Paeng Yoo-ran continued.
"So if the young leader becomes the leader, it will be a big problem. Isn't that what you're saying?"
"That's what the adults say."
"But the young leader we saw was polite, liked children, and was a responsible person."
"That's also true."
"Then the answer is out."
I focused on Namgung Cheon's words.
"We can just see for ourselves and judge."
As expected of the rare genius born of Namgung.
"Alright! How about after class?"
"Okay. I'll also say that I'm postponing my training today."
An hour after the supplementary class ended, we met again.
"First, let's find out where the young leader is."
At Paeng Yoo-ran's words, I and Namgung Cheon nodded. And we were able to find the young leader, my dad, without much difficulty.
Inside a pavilion that was luxuriously decorated for anyone to see.
A man was lying down.
In front, there was a huge lake, and around, pine trees were creating a suitable shade and the scent of pine, and inside, golden carp were playing.
-Is the person over there your dad?
-Yeah!
-But your aunt doesn't have a boyfriend, right?
-Why is my aunt coming up here? And Cheon-ah, do you know how much of an age difference there is between my aunt and you?
-Age doesn't matter in a man's love. How would you kids know?
-For now, focus on this. My future is at stake. And if it goes well, I'll introduce you to my aunt.
-Be sure to keep that promise.
The three of them focused on what they were doing again.
-The young leader is moving!
"Mmm."
All he did was turn over.
By the time an hour had passed.
-Someone is coming!
-Looking at his clothes, he seems to be an elder.
-Is he finally going to do his job as a young leader!
"Young leader, how should we handle the last matter?"
"Tell my older brother."
"Yes! I understand!"
-It's right to tell the leader.
-That's true.
-It's only been an hour since we started observing. Let's focus a little more!
"Shall we start spending the day productively?"
-Is he finally going to do something?
-Now! We can finally see his dignity as a young leader!
-My mom said. That my dad is busy every day doing a very important job.
And the restaurant they arrived at.
"As expected, the food here, made by the leader's exclusive chef, is the best!"
-F-Food is important.
-T-That's true.
-N-Not yet. My dad will surely show me something!
"Now! Since we've eaten, shall we finally spend the day productively!"
-It's coming.
-Finally!
-Something big is coming!
Yoo Jae-ha going to the training ground.
-It seems he's going to train.
-To think he's training even after reaching the Harmony Realm! This is the attitude of a true martial artist!
-I told you something big was coming!
"Ah! This is not the place!"
Yoo Jae-ha going to the main gate.
In front, a beautiful woman was waiting.
-Y-Yoo! Don't tell me your father!
-T-This is unacceptable. Even if he's a friend's father, an immoral act is!
-That's my mom.
-R-Really?
-Yeah.
-As expected of a family man!
-By the way, your mother's skin! Can I ask how she takes care of it?
-I'll ask her separately later. Yoo-ran, focus.
-Be sure to!
"Honey! Is it okay for you to come out like this again?"
"Don't worry. My older brother will take care of everything."
"Oh my! By the way, is Yoo doing well?"
"Of course, the two elders are teaching him with all their heart and soul. You look even prettier today."
"You're also handsome."
And so, the day ended, and the next day.
-Yesterday was an uneventful day.
-He seemed like a family man and a good person.
-Let's both focus.
Yoo Jae-ha, who was lying in the pavilion, gets up and heads somewhere.
-He's going to the leader's hall!
-It seems he's finally going to work!
-Of course, he's the young leader. I told you something big was coming!
Yoo Jae-ha entering the leader's hall.
-But how do we get inside?
-Don't worry. My grandfathers told me about a secret passage.
The sound of conversation is heard.
"Older brother, it's a little cold to sleep in the pavilion because the season has changed."
"What? My younger brother can't be cold! Alright!"
-The leader is being too lenient.
-He's not the leader we knew.
-Don't tell me something big is coming tomorrow?
The next day, the elders all moved the pavilion to the south.
A month had passed.
-He eats delicious food every day, takes a nap every day, and then plays with his pretty wife. I also want to be a young leader.
-I know, right. I never knew being a young leader was such a honey pot.
-S-Something big is coming.
In the end, the big thing did not come.
Murong Yoo was having a discussion with Paeng Yoo-ran and Namgung Cheon.
The topic was 'The Divine Cult, Is It Okay Like This?'.
"As long as the current leader is here, the Divine Cult will not collapse."
"That's right. I've only seen the leader working in the leader's hall."
"And when he had time, he would also help the disciples with their training."
"Honestly, although he's the leader, he's so pitiful. I've never seen him rest."
"But the young leader is the complete opposite."
"The big thing never came in the end."
"What are we going to do now?"
"We have to create a Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Emergency Response Committee!”
