Chapter 1327: Gawitnal (9)
Gong Cheonghwon was, without exaggeration, the incarnation of kindness in every aspect—his character, appearance, voice, and gait all radiated goodness.
Yet, the way Gong Cheonghwon expressed that kindness was sometimes extreme.
His overflowing zeal to impart knowledge to students sometimes manifested as brutally harsh exams, and he even struck down criminals threatening the world’s goodwill with words—literally, using language-based magic.
Eunho described Gong Cheonghwon’s “walk” as follows:
―Suppressing illegal item traffickers, tracking down the hideouts of Jin clan smugglers, or removing harmful psychic residues from the surface without safety gear hardly qualifies as a simple stroll.
Gong Cheonghwon undertook those acts alone, which sent chills through the Ho clan once they learned the details.
Even among the Ho clan, though they had come to recognize him as a rookie, they still had no memory of him, nor did he have the same power during the Gaekcheon myth, so their unease was understandable.
But in truth, the Ho clan’s own methods were as extreme as Gong Cheonghwon’s, so in essence, they were alike.
‘When the freshmen went to the youth retreat, he handled pests affected by psychic energy,’ they said.
Though aware that pests resist language magic, Gong Cheonghwon personally undertook pest control work for the students.
He also called that work a “walk.”
“Who did you beat this time? I’ve never seen anything survive your walks.”
