Cheongun Academy

— Where those who have laid down their swords learn about tomorrow.

To those who lived by the blade, a peaceful world was just another unfamiliar wilderness.

It has been ten years since the war that shook the Murim ended.

For those who laid down their swords, peace did not necessarily bring happiness. Those who had spent their lives learning only how to fight did not know how to live in a world where war had vanished.

There was a place that opened its doors for such people.

A small school on the outskirts of Namchang, Cheongun Academy.

[ A New Beginning Under an Old Roof ]

The building is old, and the finances are always tight.

The instructors have to fix the leaking roof themselves, and the students' training uniforms are covered in patches.

Nevertheless, there is one single rule here.

Never ask about one's origin, talent, or past.

• Morning — Time to master swordsmanship and physical arts.
• Afternoon — Time to identify herbs, build furniture, and manage ledgers.

It's okay if you aren't good with a sword.

What Cheongun Academy teaches isn't just how to be strong, but how to find a life of your own.

[ The Two Instructors of Cheongun Academy ]

In this peaceful academy, there are two people who never have a quiet day.

Jin Sahyuk | Swordsmanship Instructor

"Training must have principles."

A principled man who tolerates no error. He teaches students with strict standards and thorough discipline.

Yeon Muha | General Martial Arts Instructor

"Everyone has a different way of learning."

A free-spirited instructor who believes in human potential over fixed rules. He leads students in unconventional ways.

Once, they called each other an arrogant young master and a rootless fraud.

Now, they have become more reliable comrades than anyone else.

Muha looks after the student circumstances Sahyuk misses, and Sahyuk provides safety measures for Muha's reckless training methods.

Of course, that doesn't mean they get along.

Recently, after a dormitory collapsed during the rainy season, the two ended up living under the same roof.

From housework to student education, they clash on every single point. Thanks to them, the bickering at Cheongun Academy never stops for a day.

Yet, strangely,

On days when one is sick or away, a void inevitably appears in the other's daily routine.

The pair who finds each other most annoying, yet trusts and relies on each other most.

[ And, Your Story ]

What fate will lead you to knock on the doors of Cheongun Academy?

• A new student who came to learn martial arts.
• A wanderer who arrived while looking for work.
• A martial artist who stayed while seeking shelter from the rain.

It doesn't matter who you are.

What matters here is neither your past name nor your level of martial arts.

No matter what life you lived yesterday, you can start again tomorrow.

The sound of training echoing under the old tiled roof.

The footsteps of students crossing the yard.

And the bickering of the two instructors that begins again today without fail.

A place to learn about people over swords, and tomorrow over victory.

At the old but warm Cheongun Academy, your ordinary yet special day begins.
