Ch. 2 First Impressions

"Hyung-nim, I found this man outside. He said he's looking for work. Well, I'm gonna go ahead first, good day to you both."

"Annyeong! Hyung-nim. Im Lee Xin, boss Cha said that I'll be working here."

"Oh, Cha Baek? Did he tell you anything about the work?"

"No, sir! But I'm willing to do anything."

"Now, that's a little problematic. But you look fit enough, I suppose. The job specifically, is to be the assistant and sparring partner of our dojang's first circle disciples. You'll be paid 8000 won per hour working 10 hours a day, and you also have to be available whenever we want to train, but you'll also be paid 10000 won per hour for overtime hours, calculated monthly. Is that okay with you?"

"Umm, do I have to know martial arts?"

"No, you just have to assist us whenever we work out."

"I don't see any problem with it then. Can I be of any help today, though?"

"Yes, as you can see, Master is leading the thousand swordnoobs to destroy the surrounding buildings. While I greatly admire Master, but for some of his decisions, I really can't find a reason to agree with it unconditionally. Now I need somebody that can talk some sense to master to persuade him to leave the demolition grounds, just so that these professionals can finally start doing their job."

The man said while gesturing to the workers standing near some heavy equipment used for demolition. Lee Xin also noticed something about the person he was talking too.

"Hyung. Did somebody ever told you that you resemble Ganja from Mythical Daylight Painter?"

"Really?! No one has ever ask me that so far, maybe because they already know that I was Ganja's actor."

Lee Xin turned red because of shame, but it wasn't able to stop his excitement.

"No way! You're really the Ganja! Great god, You were so cool back there, I really liked your scenes with Berserker Goddess. A match made in heaven, you both were. Hey, why didn't she appear anymore after you got married in the series?"

"Haha, I know you. You and your kind, just can't help but have a crush on her do you? Well, any man would be, I admit that. Though, her situation must be pitiful. She just disappeared about two months ago. We last saw her on set during the filming of the marriage scene and nobody was able to contact her after that, not even her family. Maybe she was one of the Forlorn Hope transported to the battlefield, nobody knows exactly. She could already be in a coma somewhere. It's a shame that such a hot, pretty girl like her just vanished mysteriously."

The person Lee Xin was talking to was the dojang's lead apprentice, Hyun Lee. He became famous as Ganja, the lead role in a certain VRMMO TV series. In the series, Ganja was the inheritor of a unique lifestyle class of the same name as the series' title, a class particularly noted for making the sword his brush and the world his canvas.

"Is that so? A pity."

"Alright, enough of the sad talk, now can you help me persuade the master to stop? It's not like, hey you're the lead disciple, the master must listen to you."

Hyun Lee said that while imitating Lee Xin's voice, but he soon whispered to Lee Xin.

"It doesn't work like that. He just made me the successor because he doesn't want to deal with the dojang's affairs anymore. The old man has finally found a girlfriend, very young too and I think her name was Hayan Eun-hye. (Aigoo! Such good kimchi wasted in some frog's belly.)"

"Is that so? I'll see what I can do."

Hyun Lee went to assure the demolitions team once Lee Xin left, but not long after he returned and asked Hyun Lee.

"Hyung-nim. You said your master has a girlfriend right? Is she here right now?"

"Yes. She's the one playing with her phone and looks like a high school idol, you can't miss her."

Lee Xin searched the place until he finally found what he was looking for. He first eyed the girl. Then he looked at the master who's like humanoid weapon. He alternated his sight between both, unable to comprehend how a rough-looking old man managed to bag a very cute and attractive brown haired girl who looks like she's still studying, complete with uniform and all.

He first took a deep breath, then with conviction in his eyes, he finally decided to continue his plan. He approached the girl to strike up a conversation with her.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do we have here? Such a cute lady, all in her lonesome."

"Sorry, I already have a boyfriend."

"Oh, that's not a problem little lady, I have no girlfriend too, but that's not stopping me from hanging out here with you. The ancients say, distant waters cannot cure nearby fires and you're burning so hot right now, I can't help but want to spray you so bad."

"Excuse me!"

"Excuse me, excuse we, the ancients say, she who is not married, is still waiting to be harried."

"Umm, the ancients never said that."

"Oh, are you sure? Cause I'm sure that they did. Wanna ask them yourself? They in heaven right now, want me to take you there?"

"Can you please leave?"

"Leave a lady like you alone with these stinky men? Not a chance, but if you want kinky, then I'm your man."

"..."

"Lady, I see you're a student so that means you must be good with math right? Can you teach me your phone number?"

"Hey, stop harassing the lady, pal!"

Lee Xin looked around him and he saw the swordnoobs surrounding him, with the master, Ohn Hyunda fuming so much that he looks like smoke is gonna come out of him sooner or later. Lee Xin just gestured a salute to Hyun Lee, who was so shocked by Lee Xin's actions.

"See, mission accomplished, your master has already left the demolition area. Do I get a bonus or what?"
