Chapter 38
Naturally, Danwooseong arrived first.
He hadn’t gone at full speed. He’d only put enough distance between them to ensure the two were keeping up.
Shortly after, Baek Han-gyeong, his face pale, and the Young Master of Chupungnakyeop, who looked somewhat better, arrived almost simultaneously.
Baek Han-kyung’s legs were trembling and his breath was ragged, yet he still wondered how the match had ended.
Dan Woo-sung stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at the two of them, prompting Baek Han-kyung to ask with a flushed expression.
“Your Highness, who won? I think I won by a narrow margin.”
Chu Pungnakyeop, the young master, looked straight at Dan Wooseong as if demanding a direct answer.

Dan Woosung, acting as referee, addressed the two.
“What difference does that make?”
“······.”
“I won anyway. If you want to settle this, run all the way over there and back. Then we’ll have a proper contest. Care to take me up on that, you two?”
The young master of Chupungnakyeop cleared his throat and replied.
“You two go ahead. I’ll enter later with my household. I plan to stay at an inn outside anyway. Let’s just call it a draw.”
Baek Han-gyeong turned and asked.
“Autumn Wind… no, I am Baek Han-gyeong of the Martial Arts Alliance. Let us properly exchange names. I apologize again for my earlier slip of the tongue.”
