Duels with real blades are always terrifying to watch...

Put down whatever you're holding and *Hic* talk!

Is that friend alright? It looked like he was properly stabbed...

A gentleman should be taking pleasure in academics,
and yet I met you in a place like this?

The Seoryeon Corps used to practice with wooden swords,
but it was eventually deemed meaningless for skill improvement.

Being able to see it all at once makes it even more spectacular.

Since the Seoryeon Corps is a group that practices duels with real blades as a way of life,
we need a lot of medicinal herbs for treating wounds.

But I don't really like crowded places.
I don't think I'll be coming back.

Well done, Junghyuk! It was a splendid match, for a junior!

Do you even know who our lady is?
If you don't want to see something unpleasant, quit it!

I wonder if Sanghoon will be alright...
He seems to be badly injured...

*Hic*! Y-you scoundrels! What are you, *Hic*, doing?
Who is your master!? *Hic*!

They say there is a treasure at Balanhosu that infinitely heals wounds.
Think it was something called the "Onaetu" potion..?

Greeting are both the beginning and the end. Understand?

Blind Thrust is truly a terrifying technique...

It's better to watch things leisurely from over here.

It's my turn to duel with real blades... *gulps*

Let's stop throwing away old books.
Aren't books just scattered all over this country anyway?

True musa fear not a duel with real blades.

Grandpa, is it okay to handle the book like that?

But it was a great match. It was quite intense, wasn't it?

No way, right? Geez, tsk tsk...
You said there was a lot to see, and you were right!

Because the match was so serious and solemn,
I didn't feel it right to wager any bets over the outcome.

Everyone has amazing skills.

Send that senior for treatment quickly!
You, go with them!

It's hard to see from a distance.
I want to get a closer look...

With the special treatment medicine of the Seoryeon Corps, you will recover quickly.

Ah, this drink is absolutely amazing!

Be grateful that there's special treatment medicine always available,
for without them, we'd dare not think of engaging in duels with real blades.

Want a drink? What?
You don't allow bottle chugging?

It is because of such duels with real blades
that the Seoryeon Corps exists today.

That's it, that's it. You're all doing good.

There are still many gaps in your moves. Go and get treated quickly.

Hey! I had to come closer just to listen better!
Stop snipping those scissors and go away!

Ugh... Ugh... *coughs heavily*

They did a great job...
I want to climb up there!

Arrows are very important to a musa.
The force of arrows shot using the stub arrow method is rather something to behold.

That's not allowed. Look, don't touch.

Why are we only given ten arrows per quiver?

This seems to be the only thing that remains unchanged
from when we came here in the past.

Rely solely on arrows and neglect your skills with the blade...
Why is this person making a fuss here?

It's nice to see up close,
but there's also a certain charm in enjoying it quietly from a distance.

Why are you causing a commotion here?
As a member of the Seoryeon Corps, you must abide by the rules!

Oh, I brought you the
items that you ordered.

Originally, there were never enough arrows here,
but since the arrow restriction policy, we have plenty.

Hey, hold on.
Just wait a little bit longer.

Ugh... I must survive
this year's ranking match...

The Seoryeon Corps is a group that speaks with skill.
The ranking match is currently underway.

The maehwa cherish the maehwa trees,
so we tend to them frequently like this.

This ranking match determines whether you will be
an officer for a year or a menial worker.

Oh my, have you been deceived all this time?
These items are the real deal!

We, the new officers six, greet you!

"Every day, you must draw fresh water to fill the jar..."
This is a motto from the Hwasun Valley maehwa guidebook. Wow...

We, the new officers six, greet you!

"Strength is essential for handling a spear..."
Hmm, I see.

We, the new officers six, greet you!

New maehwas spend three years here
and train in only chopping firewood.

The six new officers appointed from this ranking match
are quite exceptional in their skills.

The feeling's mutual. Your skills in wielding the crescent blade
are truly exceptional!

Those at Hwasun Valley go through frequent and rigorous training,
so a considerable amount of medicinal herbs must always be kept in stock.

We, the new officers six, greet you!

This was originally the lodgings for Chungwol's,
but this place is now used as a pharmacy for maehwa's now.

We, the new officers six, greet you!

I brought the ingredients for the maehwa's meals.
Phew... It's tough.

We, the new officers six, greet you!

Phew... Are you ready? I'll go first!

Come at me!

This is the ranking match event to determine
the hierarchy of the Seoryeon Corps members.

The top six survivors of this ranking match will become officers,
while the bottom ten will be assigned menial tasks.

These people here are the ten who fell behind in the ranking match.
They will be doing menial tasks for the next year.

Ha... I'm doomed...

From being served rich gukbap to now having to serve it...

I can manage fetching water,
but having to traverse so far for measly wood is too much...

They say Imoogi, who ascended as the Azure Dragon at Rising Storm Falls, imbued its energy here,
so we shouldn't cut down trees in this area?

Ah... Goodbye to this armor for a year...

You never know what will happen...

What happens if I don't survive the ranking match that takes place next year..?

What kind of question is that?! You'll get stuck doing menial tasks again, that's what!!

Ha... In a year, I will make it into the top six.

Ugh... Am I the last one...?
I must continue to train diligently even while doing menial tasks...

This Seoryeon Corps is slowly growing on me...

I am collecting the arrows used in the musa training.

Many of the arrows used in training are still usable.
We store them separately here.

I am brewing a decoction for the musa.
I hope they recover soon...

The wounds from training are quite severe...
I should use antidote powder and dictamnus root...

They train so rigorously here...
No matter how much medicinal herbs I bring, it's never enough.

You speak of martial arts like you're a seasoned fighter...
If you're that passionate, why not join the Taebaek Clan already!

We of the Seoryeon Corps should return to practicing martial arts as before!
We must be able to defeat our opponents with our bare hands, and not just our blades.

It may sound like a good goal to set oneself to,
but mastering both the blade and the crescent blade is not a feat to take lightly.

What you are looking for should be around here somewhere...

This is where the Master of Seoryeon Corps, General Seok resides.

General Seok is in this building.

It's a real chore to go far away to get wood every time.
I must win the next ranking match to get out of this task...

This area is said to be imbued with the energy of the Azure Dragon,
so we shouldn't cut down trees here! We've no choice in the matter.

I need to talk to the kitchen lady... We need more vegetables in our meals!

Do you know the best gukbap in this land? Dalbeol? Bukpo? No!
It's right here, in the Seoryeon Corps!

The gukbap of Seoryeon Corps is known for its rich meaty broth!
Half pork, half soup, and even the broth is thick! Hooah!

The gukbap of Seoryeon Corps boasts a rich meaty flavor,
but it seems to lack vegetables...

That's right. To wield a heavy crescent blade like ours, meat is essential,
but vegetables are also necessary for health.

Don't be such a picky eater... Eat some kimchi and vegetables as well.
