Iron Universalism (1)

 

Two days had passed since the suppression of the Zhuge family's rebellion.

Zhuge Gong gave instructions to the warriors and his subordinates from the front, quickly erasing the traces of rebellion and battle.

Maybe it's because they took the initiative to go to the family and cleaned up the blood and corpses together.

Even though only two days had passed, the Gasols' confidence in him had grown considerably.

In the meantime, Zhuge Palace summoned the warriors and his family members to the grand banquet hall.

"Now you declare yourself the head of the family..."

It was a common thought among those gathered in the grand theater. Now that you've cleaned up, it's time for a fresh start.

And, as those gathered here expected, Zhuge Palace declared itself the lord of the Zhuge family.

"I am Zhuge Palace, the twenty-eighth head of the Great Zhuge Family. And today is the day when our Zhuge family begins a new beginning."

But it wasn't just for the story.

"Since ancient times, history has been a mirror of the future, so I think it is necessary to look back on the past for a new start."

Zhuge Palace's words made the audience feel a deep sense of tension.

'To pay for the sins of those who took part in the rebellion!'

'The promise to bury the rebellion was a lie in order to get through the moment!'

A cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of those who had come to such a conclusion.

Most of those who actively participated in Zhuge Kihwan's rebellion had already lost their lives in the last battle, but there were still many who remained neutral or supported Zhuge Kihwan passively after the rebellion succeeded.

Anticipating the bloody winds of the purge, when they prepare to flee or give up everything and begin to look up at the sky with tears in their eyes.

Zhuge Gong's voice rang into their ears.

"The Lord of this family has endlessly pondered how such a horrible thing had happened, in which blood relatives killed each other. But the bottom line is simple. Even though they were blood relatives, they didn't trust each other, and they kept each other in check."

It was completely different from what they expected, so naturally the people in the grand banquet hall were sucked into Zhuge Palace's story.

"If things continue the same way as my father, who went before, it is obvious that there will be another bloodbath in the main house. Now the main family will have to change, and the main family will have to change."

Instead of purging all those who had even the slightest involvement in the rebellion, I will make a difference in Sega.

Then, how on earth is the new owner trying to change Sega?

Everyone in the grand banquet hall looked at Zhuge Palace, thinking of such questions, and Zhuge Gong felt the gaze for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"First of all, I will not let my blood hinder the affairs of the martial arts! In return, I will let you study martial arts according to the level you have reached!"

At Zhuge Palace's declaration, the eyes of those in the grand banquet hall widened to the size of pumpkins.

It wasn't a look of emotion. It was more like hearing something I couldn't believe it.

Since the foundation of the Murim Sega was martial arts, mastering the martial arts of ascension was a symbol of Sega's power.

Zhuge Gong declared that he would abandon his direct superiority and advocate the supremacy of ability and talent, not blood.

But before the shock wore off, Zhuge Gong spoke again.

"Jinxi, come forward!"

At his shout, Zhuge Jinxi, who was standing in front of the banquet hall, stood on the podium with an expressionless face.

But that's just a superficial expression.

'Why did you want me?'

She had never been told that she would be called by name in today's speech, and she was also embarrassed.

However, Zhuge Gong's subsequent declaration shattered even his outwardly blunt expression.

"I will also make sure that the meaningless competition for the successor will not cause any checks and slanders among the people of the Sega family! So let me proclaim it here today. The Soga Liquor of the Great Zhuge Sega is right here· Zhuge Jinxi will be in charge!"

* * *

After Zhuge Palace's unconventional declaration,

Zhuge Jinxi was still in a daze.

She had been dreaming of becoming a family owner, but she didn't expect that she would be so close to that dream.

He saved his father from the rebellion, but he didn't do it with this purpose in mind.

In particular, she had rescued her younger brothers in the process, so she naturally thought that one of them would become a small family owner.

He knew that unnecessary expectations would lead to disappointment and discord, so he didn't even look forward to it in the first place.

It was Mujin who came to visit her as she strolled in front of her hall in a daze in a situation that didn't feel real.

"Monk Mujin· What's going on here?"

"I came to hear that Zhuge Jinxi had become the Lord of the Ox Family. We sincerely reduce it· From now on, I will have to call you Zhuge Jinhui Sogaju Lord. Hahaha·"

Zhuge Jinxi replied with a faint smile to Mu Jin's joke.

"The title is too long, so I think it's uncomfortable... Also, I'm still not familiar with the title of Sogaju..."

"You'll get used to it soon. Amitabha Buddha·"

“··· Well, I don't know. Can I do that?"

Zhuge Jinxi asked with a complicated expression. But it felt more like a question he was asking himself than a question to Mujin.

"Why do you think so?"

Mujin's question made her reflect on herself for a moment, and then slowly opened her mouth.

"Ever since I was a child, it was my dream to become a family owner. But I learned that I couldn't be a family owner just because I was a woman."

Mu Jin just nodded silently and listened attentively.

"So when I was younger, I just had a grudge against the world. Sometimes I resented my narrow-minded family, and sometimes I resented being born a woman."

That's why she's been acting perfect, hiding her true intentions. I used to pretend to be a genius.

Then I met Mujin.

"You made me realize how small my vessel is."

At a younger age than himself, he tossed Zhuge Xuan, the elder of the Zhuge family, with his tongue and defeated him, who was called a prodigy of the Zhuge family, with martial arts.

It made her realize how small the Zhuge Sega family, which had once been her whole world, was.

Since then, her goal has been to become a family owner, but the methods have changed.

I didn't want to be recognized by adults, I wanted to be recognized by the world.

If everyone in Wulin thought she was Zhuge Se's best warrior, then even within Sega wouldn't be able to look down on her.

That's why she's changed. I honed myself in the time I had to try to look good to adults in order to pass on the Sega feasts.

But she couldn't tell Mujin about this.

It sounded too blatant and embarrassing for her.

"Ahem· Then I changed my mind. I thought it would be better to hone myself when I was trying to look good to people."

"That's a great idea."

She blushed slightly at Mujin's compliment, but she quickly changed her expression.

"Thank you. But now that I've changed my mind, I feel like the position of Soga owner is a burden. It's a tough time for Sega, so my role will be important, but I don't know what to do."

At her words, Mujin shook his head, "I see."

'To put it simply, you've grown old.'

Rather than thinking about acquiring a position and authority, they are thinking about what they will do and responsibilities when they have a position and authority.

Just thinking about it made me think that I would do a much better job than the people who were just greedy for power.

"If you're Lord Zhuge Jinhui, you'll be able to do a good job."

She smiled faintly at Mujin's encouragement and asked as if she suddenly remembered.

"If you were in my position, what would you do first?"

The person who changed me and helped me a lot this time as well. A mysterious monk who even has the ability to read fate.

She asked as if she might be able to give me some helpful advice.

And when Mujin was asked by her, he thought for a moment.

'What if I were a sogaju?'

Naturally, his worries went back to the days when he was a monk.

"Hmm· Why don't you tell the people of Sega first?"

After all, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing like iron.

"Iron?"

"First of all, since you are the owner of the Murim Sega, shouldn't you increase the strength of the Sega? As Zhuge Jinhui now knows, the outer air is also very important in martial arts."

"I know that now... But if you're a Soga lord, shouldn't you unite the people of Sega before using force?"

"Well said... That's why you have to tell them about the quality of iron."

“··· Yes?"

Looking at her as if her ears were wrong, Mujin began to preach the theory of iron omnipotence.

"People naturally hang out with people who share the same hobbies. Imagine· The people of Sega are all ironing together and competing in a friendly competition to weigh each other's weight."

“··· Wouldn't that encourage competition and provoke fights?"

Mu Jin blushed at her question and shook his head.

"There is no such thing as a bad person who likes to be iron..."

“··· Yes?"

"Iron stroke is a static movement, unlike martial arts. It's a competition with yourself. Those who have enjoyed such sports for many years know how to control their anger. And if you're really anxious, here's Zhuge Jinxi's master."

"Me?"

Mujin shook his head at her words with a slightly mesmerized face.

"Yes· Now, Zhuge Jinxi's athletic skills are the best, so he is showing kindness to others. Posture will tell you how to build muscle better, and you can learn about the diet you eat and the protein you eat... Instead, it would be great if you could tell me about protein supplements and the order of your daily workouts."

"Do you mean to lead by example?"

"Yes· In addition, if you lift the iron with the other person's muscles when they reach their limit in the course of exercising together, or if you give them words of encouragement and say, 'Just one more time!' when they want to give up, it will be the icing on the cake."

Mujin's eyes seemed to be staring into the distance.

'Ahhh I miss you. My gym

What Mujin was looking at was the scene of a modern gym.

Fitness people who used to take care of their bodies share information with each other and dream of a better tomorrow.

When the limit comes in the battle with oneself· The hot friendship of the gymmates who encourage each other and encourage each other's temperament.

In the process, a sense of comradeship naturally sprouted, and the scenery of the beautiful gym where they touched each other's muscles and gave advice and support filled Mujin's vision.

Of course, it would be impossible to see in a gym where teaching between members is prohibited, but the Strong Health Club that Moojin ran was not such a place.

Some argue that the number of PT members plummets due to inter-member teaching, but Mujin disagreed.

To be precise, I thought that would not happen if a few conditions were met.

The first question is, is the trainer very capable? And secondly, is the gym famous? The third and final one was the presence or absence of an excessive number of elters.

After all, Hellins who visit the gym every year and every month with a commitment to exercise are born without rest.

Naturally, as long as the gym is famous, countless people will come to the gym.

As long as the trainer was very capable, he could have drawn such hellins into the world of PT in the first two or three OT classes.

Beginners will be able to achieve an effect that cannot be compared to helping each other with broad and shallow knowledge.

In addition, when beginners found something wrong in the process of exercising, even if they were not members of PT, if they kindly informed them a few times, they would naturally apply for PT.

I'm grateful that I've received help many times, but in the process of getting help, I'm sure I'm a beginner.

Or because they realized how much of a problem it is for beginners to exercise alone.

In the end, the problem was that it was too much of a mess, but it wasn't that big of a problem either.

In the first place, Helchang refers to those who are more afraid of muscle loss than urinary incontinence. For them, the most important thing to teach others is to build up their own muscles.

In the end, the amount of time they can teach others is limited to one or two hours a day.

The problem was the white-water gym that spent more than six hours a day in the gym.

Weird people who don't have a job and are just exercising.

And Mujin would defeat them in a very simple way.

"If you were a hell chang in the back hand, it would have been enough to hire you as a trainer..."

I wish I had made a bunch of talented guys into trainers at the Strongest Gym like that.

I've worked so hard to grow my gym and succeeded in opening as many as seven stores.

'Who am I, and where am I?'

How did he become Mujin instead of Choi Kang-hyuk?

As Mujin stared into the distance and thought about it, he thought...

Mu Jin's eyes made Zhuge Jinxi's whole body goosebumps.

It wasn't a chill of contempt.

"Are you reading the future of our three families with a new story!?"

If only he could follow Mujin's advice... If only we could spread the word iron, wouldn't it be possible for Sega to develop even more?

Zhuge Jinxi thought.

····

It was a bizarre sight where there were no people who had caught it, but only those who had been caught.
