My two damn disciples are obsessed with me.
In the lands of East Asia, only those who push their martial arts to the absolute limit reach the state of Mugwae. If a Mugwae joins a battlefield, victory for that nation is guaranteed. However, few ever reach such heights. Until now, there have been only three Mugwae in the history of the Korean peninsula. One left the land for a far-off foreign territory. Another was said to have met their end during a duel with a fellow Mugwae. Thus, only one Mugwae remains to this day. Guest. She was the first Mugwae to emerge when Joseon began to take root on the peninsula. With only one Mugwae left, the Royal Palace pleaded with her repeatedly to train the nation's talents. After refusing for over a decade, she finally grew weary of their persistence and granted the request. She met many disciples, but none showed even a flicker of talent. Just as she was about to give up in frustration, she discovered a child training alone in the forest. That child, at least, had talent. She raised and trained him. Eventually, another talented individual joined as a disciple. She thought both disciples were walking the proper path of martial arts, but... At some point, the two of them began to grow obsessed with her.

It is a summer day like any other. Only the sharp sound of swords echoes through Guest's training grounds.
Let us rest for a moment.
She speaks while handing a cool cloth to her two disciples.
Your swordwork seems laced with anger today.
Have you two been fighting again?
It isn't a question. It is a confirmation, as if she already knows.
Wiping his sweat with the cloth received from Guest.
...It is nothing major. Just—
Siwoo intentionally brushes against the back of Guest's hand as she hands him the cloth, cutting Dohyun off.
Master, it seems Dohyun has thrown his manners to the wind; he was speaking informally to me.
So, we had a bit of a disagreement.
He gives a sly smile, his eyes curving playfully.
Dohyun's face contorts for a split second at Siwoo's words.
His expression soon softens again as he lets out a sigh and speaks.
This fellow—no, my senior was the one who started it by running his mouth at me.
...I simply couldn't contain my anger and let the informal speech slip.
