Episode 34 Preparation(1)
One.
A long day has ended.
Woo Ji-han self-destructed and disappeared without a trace, and Ji Tae-hoon may have overexerted himself, but he blocked the explosion and collapsed.
Fortunately, Yoo Da-hee added heels, so there was no danger to his life.
Everyone was in a dazed state, and we returned home after receiving treatment at the nurse’s office with Ji Tae-hoon.
Fortunately, no one asked about the fact that I defeated Fenrir alone.
When I returned to the dormitory, I faced Jeong Ju-won, who had a serious expression on his face.
“Lee Si-woo, what on earth happened?”
It seemed like information about what happened at the playground had leaked out.
Well, something like that happened and it was even weirder not knowing.
Fortunately, I don’t think Jeong Joo-won was able to see that scene in person.
As I listened to the story, I heard a loud noise and headed to the playground, but I was unable to get into the playground.
It felt as if there was a transparent barrier.
‘Rebellions guys, they still have the habit of setting up a barrier before an incident occurs.’
The Rebellions were a group that committed perfect crimes using various items. When working, blocking off space was basic.
Fortunately, this time, thanks to Ji Tae-hoon, he was able to stop Wu Ji-han, but this couldn’t be the end.
I thought about this while explaining to Jeong Joo-won about what happened at the playground.
‘Rebellions is an organization that places great importance on belonging, and this incident clearly… ‘I’m going to hold a grudge.’
And the target will definitely be Ji Tae-hoon or Selina.
‘If anyone dies from the Rebellions… … .’
This episode was no different from a failure.
If someone dies, we won’t all be able to see the ending together, and that means my failure.
Of course, there may be another opportunity.
But somehow I couldn’t shake the feeling that this would be the last time.
Hint received from the system.
It seemed like it meant that it was the last chance, so I had to make sure to succeed this time.
I couldn’t just suffer like this.
‘I guess I’ll have to move forward a little further.’
The future was changing. It was a situation where one did not know when and where a crisis would strike.
There was a need to strengthen forces in order to prepare in advance.
Since the midterm exams were over, I had time to spare.
I decided to completely revise my future plans.
2.
next day.
Despite what happened yesterday, we went to school.
Perhaps the school blocked the fact that Rebellions had appeared in advance, but there were more students who did not know about it than those who knew about it.
Dahee Yoo’s heels must have been effective, and despite the incident yesterday, we went to school looking fine.
Grumble.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk came into the classroom and looked at us. I looked at Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk with a sad heart.
Anyway, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk dropped a bombshell as soon as he entered the classroom.
“The midterm exam report card has been released.”
At those words, the students started talking noisily.
“Miss, why did it come out so quickly?”
“You must have played well, right?”
“I failed at practical skills, but please at least try my handwriting!”
Crack.
“Be quiet and come from the front.”
“yes.”
After hearing teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words, students came forward and started receiving report cards.
I suddenly became curious about the results of the written test.
Because Selina and Dabin Hwang’s answers were different, I had a lot of trouble deciding which answer to choose.
‘Obviously, it was a matter of whether the principal was bald or not, and Yoo Da-hee’s speaking habits, right?’
Yesterday, when I saw that the principal had become an eagle person, I knew I had gotten the problem wrong.
In fact, I had given up on getting first place in the written exam.
“Lee Si-woo.”
“yes.”
When teacher Kang Joo-hyuk called me, I went forward and accepted the report card.
As I was about to turn back, teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang looked at me and said.
“Congratulations.”
“yes?”
“We ranked first in the entire school in our class.”
“… … yes?”
“Even the written exam got a perfect score.”
At those words, the Class 5 students looked at me with shocked expressions.
“Wow, crazy. During the practical exam, I tied for first place with Yoon Mir, so I couldn’t believe it… … .”
“No, you got all the difficult questions right?”
“how?!”
Even I, listening to my friends’ voices, was dazed.
Dabin Hwang and Selina’s answers were different, so I thought about the two and chose them one by one.
However, all the answers I chose seemed to be correct.
“Everyone applauds Lee Si-woo, who saved Class 5’s face!”
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
I heard a strange rhythm of applause and looked up to see Yoo Ah-ram laughing, ‘Hehe.’
I smiled at that and returned to my seat and tilted my head.
‘But it’s strange. Yesterday, the principal… … .’
***
“You’re dying?”
“yes. I don’t think I can just ignore this. Although they are unpleasant to look at, they are the ones who take part in Rebellions’ work. We need to talk. I’m sure the Rebellions guys will come for revenge if they find out what happened to that guy yesterday.”
Principal Won Tae-jin looked confused at Yoo Da-hee’s words.
“We teachers need to try harder.”
“So, speaking of which, I sent a message to Lee Soo. “Rebellions are the ones who grind their teeth, so they will come to help.”
“If it’s Lee Soo, no way…” … .”
“yes that’s right. Geomshin, Ban Isu. “I think he’s going to visit this school. Is that okay?”
Principal Won Tae-jin’s expression brightened at Yoo Da-hee’s words.
“Sure!”
“Okay, then… … .”
Yoo Da-hee, who was opening the door to get into the car, seemed to have suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from her pocket, and handed it to Principal Won Tae-jin.
“Please give this to first-year student Dabin Hwang.”
“all right.”
After being seen off by the principal, Yoo Da-hee left Awakening High School.
As Yoo Da-hee walked away, Won Tae-jin slightly lifted the wig he was wearing and wiped away the sweat.
I felt like my hair loss was getting worse.
“Still, I’m glad that hero Ban Isu is here.”
For the time being, it seemed like the Rebellions had no need to worry.
3.
“Here it is.”
“thank you.”
After finishing the morning class, Hwang Da-bin, Selina, and I headed to the teacher’s office at the call of teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
The reason teacher Kang Joo-hyuk called us was because of the prizes given to those with top grades.
This time too, it seemed like up to three of the top performers in each class received prizes.
“It’s 500 points. “You might be able to purchase some pretty useful items.”
Dabin Hwang and Selina eagerly accepted the canteen points given by the teacher.
But I didn’t take the points and asked the teacher.
“Teacher, can I get something else?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk responded to my words by tilting his head.
“Something else? Like what?”
“I need to go out for a while, but… … .”
I asked Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk to issue me a weekday staycation voucher.
***
“Lee Si-woo, where are you going?”
On the way out of the teacher’s office and back to the classroom, Dabin Hwang looked at me and asked.
“I think I need to come see my mother. I haven’t been able to visit you even once since I enrolled… … . Something like that happened yesterday, and I feel like I can’t concentrate right now.”
“I see… … .”
Dabin Hwang and Selina’s eyes seemed to shine at those words.
Of course, everything I said was a lie.
I was planning to go outside of Awakening High School and look for an item that the main character, Yunmir, was originally supposed to get.
Teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang readily accepted my proposal.
This is because everything was discussed in advance.
I remembered the time I visited Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s training room this morning.
4.
“Lee Si-woo.”
“Yes, teacher.”
“That punch yesterday… “What happened?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words reminded me of a man who mainly used 1-inch punches.
Nam Hyun-woo, a traitor to the strongest guild.
This technique was the technique he mainly used.
Come to think of it, instead of worrying about Rebellions, I should have started worrying about teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
Because Nam Hyun-woo was once paired with teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
I answered Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s question directly.
There was a need to sprinkle some rice cake.
“The guild I want to join after I graduate is the strongest guild.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk looked surprised at my words.
“what?”
“So, I was keeping an eye on the strongest guild. If you look at each tube these days, you can see that people who are quite famous can be found with just a little search, right?”
“Lee Si-woo, you can’t believe it… … .”
“Yes, I followed along after watching each tube.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk looked dumbfounded at my words.
It was nonsense.
If it was a punch that could be seen and imitated, it should have been possible to use it in any number of ways.
“That makes sense… … .”
“It worked? You saw it. One inch punch.”
I interrupted Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk and spoke.
I had to go out strong this time.
Since Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk was my personal tutor, I had many encounters with him in the future.
I couldn’t allow myself to react so sensitively to such a trivial punch.
“I have very good eyesight.”
“what?”
“You can easily imitate what you see with your own eyes if you practice. “That’s what I mean.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk laughed at my words.
It seemed like he thought it was a lie.
‘Well, that can happen.’
Because the talent known to people as F-level was ‘Hwanan’.
Personally, I thought that this Hwanan was truly an ‘EX level’ talent.
“If you don’t believe me, could you show me a technique? “I will try that technique.”
“you… “Are you serious?”
“Yes, and if I am right, I would like you to do me a favor.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk responded to those words with an interested expression.
“What if I can’t follow along?”
“From now on, I will nominate you as my personal tutor until I graduate.”
Personal guidance teachers could be changed once per grade.
Even when I was in my 2nd and 3rd grades, I said that I would choose Teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang as my personal tutor.
For teacher Joo-hyuk Kang, it was an opportunity to have a student who could act at any time for three years.
“good. Then, try following this.”
***
Of course I won the bet.
The technique that teacher Kang Joo-hyuk showed was the six-stroke method that he often uses.
It is one of teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s box fighting techniques, which refers to the sixty-six striking techniques.
I saw with my eyes the sight of the opponent pressing down like water, and although it was clumsy, I recreated the sight.
How could you do it? I had used the six-point method in the second round. Maybe that’s why it was easier to follow than I thought.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk, who saw me like that, realized that I had not lied and granted my request.
Thanks to this, I was able to stay out overnight with ease.
I was thinking of going out right now and looking for ‘items’ that would help me in my battle.
I did… … .
“Why are you following me instead of receiving points and a coupon for a sleepover?”
Dabin Hwang and Selina, who heard me and exchanged 500 points for a night out, were following me.
