3 years later.
At dawn.
I came out early in the morning to get some fresh air and started walking along the trail.
The dense buildings seen around the walking path showed that the world had developed a lot.
It may be the same for other people, but for me today is a little more special day than others.
It was the day I graduated from Gakseong High School.
“You are the graduate student representative… … .”
Originally, the position was held by Yoon Mir, but suddenly the position of school representative became mine.
The world was peaceful.
Occasionally the Awakened caused trouble, but since the Awakened members of guilds spread all over the world stopped them, the number of crimes decreased significantly.
Peace achieved after repeating the same life three times.
And happiness.
It felt like a dream.
Jiyiing.
While I was walking happily, the phone I had in my pocket started vibrating.
When I took out my phone and looked at the screen, a messenger had arrived.
-[Nag Demon King]: Are you awake? Graduation ceremony today. Starting with reporters, seven heroes will also come, and people from all over the world will be watching the broadcast. So, you have to come dressed neatly. got it?
– Me: Yes, I know very well.
-[Nag Demon King]: Why are you speaking like that?
-Me: Sorry, I’ll get dressed up and go.
-[Nag Demon King]: Today is the long-awaited graduation ceremony, so please watch it. See you later ♥
-Me: ♥
Even today, Yoo Ah-ram was still nagging a lot.
From that day on, Yoo Ah-ram and I became the official couple of Gakseong High School.
At first, people didn’t believe it, but after seeing Choi Seol and Ban Hye-jin staring at each other in front of Yoo Ah-ram, the students confirmed that it was true and spread the school’s biggest scandal far and wide.
Thanks to this, Yoo Ah-ram, who was already famous for ‘Aram TV’, became even more famous.
Even though that happened, we got along well as friends.
Choi Seol and Ban Hye-jin were still following me even though I told them I was dating Yoo Ah-ram.
Aram didn’t like it at first, but after three years, he seemed to want to do it now.
Selina and Hwang Da-bin threatened that they would not leave Aram alone if he made her cry, and even now, Aram was on my side and was having fun harassing me.
While thinking about various things alone, I glanced up at the sky.
After I chose Yoo Ah-ram that day, there were no messages from ‘readers’ at all.
I didn’t know if they were angry because they didn’t choose the heroine they wanted, or if they disappeared because they showed me a satisfactory ending, but I still thought they were watching me.
Because this was a world in a novel.
“If you don’t get ready soon, you’ll be late.”
If I was late, the Great Demon King would nag me again, so I had to go get ready quickly.

[Congratulations to Gakseong High School students on their graduation]
There was a placard congratulating the graduate on the front door.
“It seems like just yesterday that my mom dropped my son off here for the entrance ceremony, but he’s already graduated.”
“Haha, mother. “Why is your mother crying?”
“Okay, everyone else is doing it, so why are you crying?”
“Aren’t you sad?! “I know very well what our Siwoo has accomplished since entering Awakening High School!”
“Oh, you know. Honey, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. “Well, can you please put down that gun?”
I chuckled as I watched my father struggling with my mother.
My father, a barrier master, began traveling to guilds around the world and working to build barriers, and my mother lived as a bodyguard assisting my father.
Perhaps because of the trauma of not having much time together during the third round, my mother and father are still living a happy married life.
“I’ll go first. “They say there’s a lot to prepare because you’re the valedictorian.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Son, congratulations on your graduation!”
“thank you. Then, I’ll see you later at the graduation ceremony!”
After saying goodbye to my parents, I headed to the dormitory.
Since I stopped by the house because it was the weekend, I came out wearing civilian clothes, so I had to go pick up my school uniform that I left at the dormitory.
“Is the world’s greatest issue maker here?”
“I’m busy today, so I’ll accept your pranks next time, Joowon.”
“I’m serious? “Everyone in the world is paying attention to you today!”
While changing from civilian clothes to school uniform, I listened to Jeong Ju-won’s shouts with one ear.
“Either way.”
“Don’t just listen. “Are you sure your thoughts haven’t changed?”
“Uh, you agreed, and the others also agreed. “It’s going to be uproar, but everyone will understand, right?”
“The problem is other heroes, wouldn’t they be against it?”
The reason why Jeong Joo-won was feeling so relieved was because of the guild selection that would take place today.
Students graduating from Awakening High School choose a guild upon graduation.
The public’s attention was focused on the guilds to which students with promising futures would belong in the future.
However, several people, including me, are not planning to choose a guild today.
“They are competitors now anyway. It doesn’t matter if you disagree. And I guess other kids have already said it.”
“Well, I guess everyone got permission?”
“I guess so.”
I dressed up in my school uniform and looked at the mirror.
Although it was my body and face, it was pretty good.
“Anyway, should we really name the guild that way?”
“I don’t know, but if I change it at will, the Great Demon Lord may be angry, roommate.”
I sighed.
If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.
Siu Guild.
It was the name of the guild I was planning to create upon graduation today.

When I went outside to go to the graduation ceremony, Yoon Mir was waiting for me.
“It’s sparkling. “I thought you wouldn’t even plan a graduation ceremony.”
“… “I couldn’t help it because people would make a fuss if I didn’t decorate the house.”
“Kkkkk, you’re a filial son. “But what happened?”
“When I told him about the guild, my father got angry.”
At Yoon Mir’s words, I imagined Yoon Ga-on screaming in anger.
Isn’t it time to respect your son’s opinion?
Well, I had created a guild to pass on to my children, but I felt like my children would yell at me if I told them they were going somewhere else.
“So, what did you say?”
“I said that Chilseong only follows Ilseong.”
“please. “What if you too are influenced by Master?”
Perhaps because he had recently received guidance from Choi Kang, it seemed that even Yun Mir was being contaminated by his master’s second year of middle school.
By the way, it’s Chilseong. It was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.
A name for the main characters of Part 2 who cleared the final gate in Round 3. Chilseong.
The only people who remember that are those who have memories of the third episode.
“So what did Hero Gaon Yoon say?”
Yun Mir grinned at the question of Jeong Ju-won, who was standing next to me.
“He told me to do whatever I wanted.”
“Oh, awesome. “You gave me permission?”
I never thought I would actually get permission.
I looked surprised.
The story about Siwoo’s guild came up while we were having lunch together not long ago.
As the graduation ceremony was slowly approaching, it was time for each of us to choose a guild, and we were sharing information about which guild we would go to.
However, since most of my friends were children of heroes, they all seemed reluctant to go to their guild.
‘Then, how about we create a guild among ourselves?’
At that time, Jeong Joo-won said that as a joke.
After hearing that, Yoo Ah-ram started creating a real guild by mobilizing all of his personal connections and financial resources he had accumulated while working as a YouTuber.
The name of the guild was Siwoo Guild.
When the idea of creating a new guild and running it among ourselves came up, the eyes of my friends who had been sighing changed.
In the end, I ended up taking on the position of head of a guild, which I never wanted to do.
As we talked like that, we arrived at the graduation ceremony hall.
Buzz.
There were so many people. When I thought about standing in front of so many people, I automatically sighed.
“Representative of graduates. “Are you here?”
As soon as I arrived at the graduation ceremony, teachers started looking for me and Jeong Ju-won, who heard their voices, said to me.
“Hey, roommate, I’m calling you.”
“Ha, yes.”
“I have to do better later?”
“okay. See you later.”
From here on, you have to keep your head straight.
Anyway, today is not only the graduate representative, but it is also my first appearance as the guild leader of the Siu Guild.
I walked toward the podium with brisk steps.
4.
“Does Siwoo look nervous too?”
“Ah, senior.”
Perhaps because my expression was stiff, Choi Min-ji, a senior who graduated from Gakseong High School and became a teacher, smiled at me.
“I don’t think it’s as good as my senior.”
Senior Minji Choi’s expression hardened at those words.
Senior Choi Min-ji, who went up to the podium as the graduate representative last year, literally moved like a robot.
“… “Will you forget about the dark history?”
“Haha, sorry.”
“I’ve been watching for two years, so I know the order of events and things like that. The most important thing is, of course, when choosing a guild. Because everyone’s eyes are on you. “Speak well.”
“thank you.”
“end.”
It’s over already?
From what I remember, the valedictorian had quite a bit of work to do.
“I don’t know about other people, but I heard you can just do whatever you want? Anyway, people are filming your every move and it is being released on video. “They just told me not to order anything.”
Such irresponsible teachers!
“Are you really free to do whatever you want?”
“Yes, the principal said it was okay.”
“Yes, got it.”
After receiving instructions from senior Minji Choi to do whatever I wanted, I returned to my seat in class 1 of the 3rd grade and was able to see my friends showing off their charm.
“What is it, you guys?”
“why?”
“I don’t think they are the people I used to know?”
Hwang Da-bin wore the white school uniform she usually wore. The black hair contrasting with the white made Hwang Da-bin shine even more.
Selina was neatly dressed in a dark red school uniform, and her red hair gave the illusion of sparkles.
“Thank you for the compliment. You really decorated it up really well, didn’t you?”
At those words, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram, who was preparing to film from a distance.
Yoo Ah-ram, who was running around with her brown hair flying around, was wearing the same black school uniform as me today.
“It’s pretty.”
“I’m drooling. Wipe your spit, then go and have a good talk. “It was very difficult for me to convince Master.”
From the looks of it, it seemed like Selina and Dabin Hwang also got permission somehow.
When I looked back to see what the other kids were doing, I saw that even Ji Tae-hoon was giving his thumbs up.
They say no parent can beat their child, and that seemed to be exactly right.
“Then, from now on, we will begin the graduation ceremony of Gakseong High School. To the valedictorian!”
“Do well!”
“go for it!”
I went up to the podium while receiving support from my friends.
I see you are graduating.
Lee Si-woo, who lived for the ending, was no longer here.
From now on, I will live the life I want.
