The wardrobe had three options: mask, clothes, and shoes.
â¶ Leather Shoes
â· Indoor Shoes
â· K-Boots
Common leather shoes immediately stood out, but the K-Boots made no sense to him.
{K-Boots have been equipped.}
âWowâŠâ Seol-Hwi exclaimed in admiration. They fit perfectly and wrapped comfortably around his feet when he took a few test steps. He reached down and touched the ankle, finding that the boots appeared to be made of normal leather, albeit hard like a horse hoof.
âShall I wear this tomorrow?â
He then went back to the first choice, the mask.
{Military Mask has been equipped.}
âOhâŠâ He turned to admire himself in the mirror and his expression brightened. Rather than an animal mask, this one was one in indigo, black, and yellow. With these dark, subdued colors, it would be easy to blend into the night and into vegetation.
âBut thisâŠâ Seol-Hwi looked at the wall Bigun had smashed through. It was flustering, but he didnât need to move to a different residence.
âAhh.â Seol-Hwi lay down on the bed. âIâll worry about it later.â
As usual, the save option popped up at the end of the month. Seol-Hwi overwrote his second slot, just in case.
And then he shut his eyes. It was winter; his bed was very cozy.
Seol-Hwi woke up confused. As soon as he opened his eyes, time froze. A while later, something absurd happened: Seokdu, the carpenter who accompanied him on the mission, was in his room with a hammer.
[Seokdu]
âHyung! The wall had a hole in it when I got here, so I fixed it.â
Seol-Hwi turned to the repaired wall. It was like new.
âAh, seriouslyâŠâ It was strange, but he got used to it the more he thought about itâeven the capricious flow of time.
Speaking of which, another window popped up.
[Early in the morning, the members of the command unit hear that Seol-Hwi defeated Bigun.]
Who leaked the rumor?
Seol-Hwi then found himself presented with each memberâs reaction.
[Yong Jin]
âThe captain took down Bigun?â
âSurely not.â
âIn hindsight, it seemed like he had his own tricks.â
Yong Jin seemed to be talking to someone:
[Jeok Seong]
âAre the rumors reliable?â
âIâm surprised.â
âMaybe the person we wanted is reallyâŠâ
Jeok Seong was sitting on a branch when he heard the news. He seemed surprised.
[Yorim]
âI thought he was unusual. As expected.â
âWe wonât have any trouble from now on, right?â
âWe should take good care of him.â
Yorim paused in the middle of washing his face in the river to talk.
[Seo Ryeong]
âSo⊠what do we do?â
âIâm not angry, just⊠a bit embarrassed.â
âNo one knows him.â
Seol-Hwi sat in the training room near the window. Unlike the others, her reaction wasnât good. That was no surpriseâshe had less favorability with him than the others.
After a moment, his surroundings turned white and then Seol-Hwi was back in his room.
[Membersâ favorability has increased.]
{Vice-Captainâs Favorability}
1st Member, Yorim: 60/100(â45) (Friendly)
2nd Member, Jeok Seong: 60/100(â45) (Friendly)
3rd Member, Yong Jin: 75/100(â50) (Friendly)
4th Member, Seo Ryeong: 6/100 (â100) (Curious)
âOhâŠ!â Seol-Hwiâs eyes shone. With just one battle, his favorability level had increased, and the status too. This was a promising way to quickly increase his favorability.
Seol-Hwi took another look at his outfit in the mirror.
âClothesâŠâ The military look was unusual, but cool. âShould I get started?â
He approached the door.
{Please set a schedule for month 10 of year 96. (15/36)}
â¶ Teaching
â· Take a Mission
â· Warrior Training
â· Walk Around
The choices here hadnât changed, but Seol-Hwi was troubled by the decision.
Hmm⊠He was planning on taking warrior training, but heâd changed his mind. After winning against Bigun, his favorability with his subordinates had risen. It made him wonder how they would react to him right now.
â¶ Teach as Vice-Captain (Available)
â· Perform the Captainâs duties (Unavailable)
Right. First off, favorability has to be at maximum. Seol-Hwi resolved to get his unitâs favorability as high as it would get.
{You have chosen âTeach.â}
Another question.
[Where would you like to go?]
â¶ Training Room
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
What? Thatâs it? Seol-Hwi was a little shocked by the lack of choice. Well, it might not pop up every time.
{Moving to Training Room.}
{Today, Hidden Truth members will be taught martial arts.}
Class didnât start right away. When the white light faded away, time was frozen and the members were looking at him.
[Yong Jin]
âOh? Your clothes are a little⊠Where did you get them?â
âThe more I look at it, the better it gets. Itâll be especially good for moving at night, right?â
âI donât suppose you⊠have any spares?â
[Jeok Seong]
âI want to ask you why youâre dressed like that.â
âTo be honest, I donât like it.â
âIâm going to stay away from you.â
[Yorim]
âEveryone has their own tastes. I respect that.â
âWhat do I think? Well⊠if you like it, what else matters?â
âWell, anyways, it has nothing to do with me so it doesnât bother me.â
[Seo Ryeong]
âYouâre wearing that? Um, are they comfortable?â
âIt looks a bit weird. Just my opinion, though.â
âDonât keep asking me. I hate answering you.â
Yong Jin was welcoming, Jeok Seong didnât like it, Yorim was respectful, and Seo Ryeong didnât want to talk to him. At least he had their attention.
Oh. He was surprised that their affinities would change.
His teachings proceeded.
[Day 1: Teach the Hidden Truth Squadâs Iconic Demonic Martial Arts {Advanced}]
[Day 2: Teach the Hidden Truth Squadâs Iconic Demonic Martial Arts {Advanced}]
Nothing special happened. They went through the material quickly
[Day 31: Teach the Hidden Truth Squadâs Iconic Demonic Martial Arts {Advanced}]
The monthly schedule was done.
[Membersâ level of understanding has increased.]
Same old messages.
It had been three months since. Usually, Seol-Hwi would be pretty bored at the end of the month, but it was different this time. The skills he gained made time move fast, and the memories slipped into his head in bits and pieces.
However, his three months of work did not give him the results he wanted.
[Membersâ favorability has increased.]
{Vice-Captainâs Favorability}
1st Member, Yorim: 80/100(-) (Very Friendly)
2nd Member, Jeok Seong: 80/100(-) (Very Friendly)
3rd Member, Yong Jin: 80/100(-) (Very Friendly)
4th Member, Seo Ryeong: 31/100 (â5) (Curious)
No one went past 80. He wondered if he should try changing his clothes again, but he didnât want to risk losing favorability instead. As a result, three membersâ favorability sat at 80, while Seo Ryeongâs was low. It probably had something to do with the previous incidents.
Well, it wasnât importantâif he kept teaching, it would rise one day. Problem wasâŠ
{Please set a schedule for month 3 of year 97. (19/36)}
â¶ Teaching
â· Take a Mission
â· Warrior Training
â· Walk Around
If he went with the same as before:
â¶ Teach as Vice-Captain (Unavailable)
â· Perform the Captainâs duties (Unavailable)
He couldnât do it. If he tried:
{You have nothing to teach the members.}
â¶ Teaching
â· Take a Mission
â· Warrior Training
â· Walk Around
And he was back where he started.
What do I do now? Troublingly, he had hit a wall in terms of increasing affinity.
Wait! Seol-Hwi picked the fourth option. Maybe this is the solution. Missions and warrior training had nothing to do with the command unit, so if there was an answer it would be here. And, now that he thought about it, there was an option for the command unit last time.
{Where would you like to go?}

â· Fourth Discipleâs House

â¶ Command Unit Dorms
As expected! He chose the third option without hesitation.
{Moving to the Command Unit Dorms.}
