“But I understand that the commotion related to Ha Hyun’s entrance has only just subsided. We cannot take in another disciple here and stir up trouble within the family again, can we?”
That’s right. Jang Munin let out a light sigh.
Ha Hyun is 13 years old this year. Two years from now, he’s planning to take in a thirdgeneration disciple, and even at fifteen, it would be much more natural and cause no commotion for him to enter as a thirdgeneration disciple rather than a second.
Nevertheless, forcing him into the volcano as a secondgeneration disciple, just as Yuun said, was because he had pushed for it. Jang Munin, like the first time he heard him speak at length, had also seen him push for it for the first time.
“You knew, didn’t you?”
The statement had several meanings, but the most significant was, ‘Even though you knew, you pushed for it back then, didn’t you?’ Yuun, who understood this, only now, nearly a year after bringing Ha Hyun, revealed everything.
“Yes. Now everyone knows of Ha Hyun’s extraordinary achievement for his age, but back then, who would have welcomed him except for me? Furthermore, I was the only adult Ha Hyun trusted, so how could I ignore him?”
“……Right, that’s how it was. You’re right.”
Jang Munin looked down into his teacup with a newly bitter heart.
Now, Ha Hyun shows outstanding talent, but when he first came to the volcano, he was just a young, frail girl who had lost her home overnight and become unstable. Even her natural demeanor was somehow blurry, giving the impression she could disappear at any moment.
The situation was pitiable, but without Yuun, nobody would have taken her in, and the child was highly likely to have gone down to Hwaeum.
Jang Munin slowly sipped his tea, organizing his thoughts.
Anyway, it was time to return to the main point.
He intended to first draw a line with Yuun, saying, ‘Two special favors are not allowed,’ then, as the person who brought her, listen to his opinion and discuss the boy’s situation together.
There was no longer a need to draw a line, so they just needed to listen to his opinion and decide together.
“What do you think is the best way to handle the child?”
Jang Munin asked, thinking of various options internally.
Nothing was clear, though.
Firstly, like Ha Hyun’s case, they could place the boy under another firstgeneration disciple and take him in as a secondgeneration one, but, as Yuun had previously mentioned, this might cause more trouble within the family.
It’s not uncommon to meet a talented child outside and immediately take them in as a disciple. Such things occasionally happen, and always cause some problems.
Such children always display enough talent for everyone to acknowledge, but in Ha Hyun’s case, her talent was not immediately apparent at first, so there were a few more issues.
‘The fivestar talent has been revealed, and it’s been almost a year since she received the dojo, so everyone seems to have accepted it on the surface.’
A few months ago, there seemed to be a disciple who hadn’t accepted it yet, but that had also somehow been resolved.
Jang Munin recalled the story he had heard from Jinneung, Ha Hyun’s Daesabu, and her priest, and nodded internally.
‘So, it can be said that Ha Hyun’s side is almost problemfree now, but…’
If they took in another young boy as a secondgeneration disciple, who was not of proper age, it would surely be a problem.
It was no different than throwing sparks onto the fire that had just been suppressed.
‘Even Ha Hyun could be affected by the sparks.’
Not giving a dojo and taking in as an inner disciple like a secondgeneration one was another option, but it was equally vague. The timing of taking in a disciple is not set in vain.
Ignoring the timing and inserting him as an inner disciple would make proper training impossible.
‘The inner disciples of the current secondgeneration distribution are learning the FiveElement Plum Blossom Sword.’
How could a commoner boy, who needed to build up his physical strength first, fit into that?
‘So to just give her menial tasks would be……’
Jang Munin thought up to that point when Yoo Woon, who had been contemplating and choosing an answer with him, opened his mouth.
“As soon as I saw her, it was clear she was a martial artist, and after talking on the way here, she’s quite intelligent. It would be a waste to make her do something menial, and the only problem is distribution, so I thought of letting her stay at the volcano for a while, and if she wants, I considered making her a thirdgeneration disciple.”
“A thirdgeneration disciple.”
Jang Munin laughed, deflating like a punctured balloon. It was a journey of over a month from the capital to the island, and he found it funny that he hadn’t asked such a question all this time.
“You didn’t even ask how old that girl is this year, did you?”
“Excuse me?”
