Chapter 589: End of the festival (4)

Support Ex-Rank

Chokryong was immediately soothed by Yeom Junyeol’s apology.

Her mood got better and better, perhaps because her student called her “grandma” constantly throughout the conversation.

When he saw Chokryong smiling, Yeom Junyeol said something as if he was waiting.

“My mother is quite lonely. Please come over often, Grandma.”

“No way! That child is satisfied with just you and Yeom Bangyeol. It’s hard to see her face even if I’m in Korea because she doesn’t come out of her room. Even if I ask her to go on a trip, she doesn’t say she wants to go…”

Chokryong spoke with a blatant expression of disappointment.

But even if she refused to travel, what does she mean by Yeom Junyeol’s mother refusing to go out of her room?

‘Yeom Junyeol’s mother doesn’t appear in the media very often, and there’s not a lot of information about her.’

Pro Player Team Master Yeom Bangyeol.

Student Representative and Star Player Yeom Junyeol.

Wanderlust Dragon Chokryong.

It was a little surprising that all the family members close to her were extroverts.

Well, perhaps she prefers staying at home because the people around her are like that.

“She promised to travel around the world together when I graduate. Maybe we can go together, Grandma.”

“…Really? Won’t I be a disturbance?”

“No way. I’m telling you because I want you there, Grandma. My mother also said she wanted you to come.”

Chokryong disappointment disappeared like snow at Yeom Junyeol’s few words.

It’s usual for people of royal lineage to care much about their descendants, but it seems that Yeom Junyeol is especially loved among the Dragon Clan because he only chooses words that are kind and full of affection.

After having a friendly conversation with her grandchild, Chokryong spoke with a face that was several times brighter than the first time.

“Thank you so much for saving my pupil and grandson. The same goes for that bad guy Yong Jegun… What the hell is that jerk thinking these days, tsk.”

Does Chokryong know about Yong Jegun’s ascension?

There were other things to be pointed out other than Yong Jegun’s ascension.

If I were elderly and saw Yong Jegun fight with the Class 1-1 kids today, I would’ve thought the same thing.

Yeom Junyeol doesn’t seem to know much about the ascension, but he smiled awkwardly as if there were many things he could guess from.

“I’m relieved to hear about the benefactor who is such a nice child. Call me if anything happens. Oh, maybe my replies would be delayed during my trip.”

After exchanging device codes, Chokryong went to see the festival.

I didn’t know much about her from PMH, but she was a dragon of warm character.

‘Yeom Junyeol’s also very different from PMH.’

In PMH, Yeom Junyeol was quite a difficult fellow to approach.

Considering the situation, which he faced when he came from a short-term study abroad, it was inevitable.

Yong Jegun, who was almost like an older brother to him, and Eungwang High students who were close to him passed away.

Yeom Junyeol reacted violently to being called Little Hongryong and was wary of strangers.

I never imagined that Yeom Junyeol would regard me as his teacher.

The Yeom Junyeol from PMH will track down That Word, not to make him his teacher, but to identify and confront him.

“Thanks for your time even though you’re busy, Euishin-ah.”

“No, thank you for introducing me to such an important person.”

I was happy to be introduced to a dragon close to Yeom Juneyol.

Since then, there were minor incidents that occurred during the festival, but it was completed safely.

It was almost too peaceful.

And that’s how the festival came to an end.

“Cheers to the successful festival!”

The kids bumped glasses with each other at Kim Yuri’s toast.

After the closing ceremony, Class 1-0 moved to an after-party.

The venue was Kim Yuri’s house, and the atmosphere was much brighter than when we stayed there to study for the exams.

‘The furniture arrangement changed and some decorations were added, but it feels so different.’

The living room was decorated with Christmas trees and wreaths.

The little light bulbs that the tree was decorated with were accompanied by Christmas balls, ribbons, and some lettering decorations.

The ornaments are said to be made by Kim Yuri’s father after he was discharged from the hospital.

“So many things happened, but I’m glad the festival ended without any problems!”

“There were some though.”

“I’m not saying nothing happened at all, Daesok-ah. It’s just that it ended safely without any casualties.”

Min Geurin refuted, but Song Daesok wasn’t wrong.

There were so many things that happened at the end of the closing ceremony.

“I hope the song that Kwon Jein sunbaenim played comes out on official platforms.”

“I made a sheet music as soon as I heard it. I’ll give it to you if you need it.”

“Already? Wow, you even got the markings…”

Kwon Jein’s new song was released and performed during the closing ceremony.

She was supposed to play another song, but it seems that Kwon Jein was inspired during the festival.

The new songs released were interpretable as The Dazzling Cyan Pearl.

‘Dazzling is sort of similar to ecstasy, and cyan is Yong Jegun’s color. Everyone will be reminded of him from the title.’

The object of Kwon Jein’s inspiration was Yong Jegun.

Kwon Jein is said to have outlined the song after watching the chess match between Yong Jegun and Sung Gukeon, and the professor’s showdown with Class 1-1.

When Kwon Jein said she wanted to change the song that she’d play, the organizers immediately gave permission.

Kwon Jein’s new song shone just like the title and was free just like Yong Jegun.

The playful melody was full of joy and surprise.

However, after the peak of the song, the sound of the violin scattered softly and faintly, leaving a lingering impression.

— As far as I remember, Professor Yong Jegun is a free man, but I thought he would definitely land on the ground after his flight.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After finishing the song, Kwon Jein left a comment.

She must’ve had many thoughts when she saw him at the festival being that she was also his student.

— But now, I think he’s going to go straight up to the sky.

Kwon Jein had no idea about the ascension, but she pinpointed it so accurately.

Hearing Kwon Jein’s words, Yong Jegun couldn’t help but smile.

“Will our assistant homeroom teacher change next year if Yong-ssaem goes to the sky?”

“I hope he continues to be our assistant adviser though… I don’t know what will happen next year.”

After the conversation about Kwon Jein’s song, the kids briefly talked about Yong Jegun.

Thanks to the words inadvertently thrown by Dokgo Miro while dividing the black forest cake…

“Who will be our class’ homeroom teach next year?”

The kids in our class stood in attention at Dokgo Miro’s words.

They seem to be put in a panic because they never imagined the possibility of our homeroom teacher being replaced.

They were dissatisfied with the news that Professor Ham Geunhyung was busy and couldn’t come to the after-party and that he might not be able to join us for Christmas, but it must’ve been a shock to hear about the thought of the professor being changed.

“So our problem right now isn’t the assistant homeroom teacher. What should we do?”

“Since the third years are graduating, maybe Professor Im Yeonhwa will be in charge of us. She’s a good person too but…”

“I heard that Professor Jegal will be Class 2-0’s homeroom teacher until they graduate.”

“Well, the seniors lied down at the lobby to protest for that to happen.”

“Then we should do that too! I’ll ask Chansol sunbaenim how they did it.”

The kids rejoiced at Saeum of April’s words

Are our classmates thinking of following Class 2-0’s footsteps?!

Professor Ham Geunhyung is an objectively excellent player, so I understand how our class feels.

I vowed to play the most dangerous role for my classmates if the occupation of the faculty house lobby takes place.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Really?”

“Yes, our class is well-behaved for a Class Zero, so our homeroom teacher will want to keep handling us. Other teachers don’t want accidents happening after changing homeroom teachers for nothing.”

Hwang Jiho, who had always been quiet, spoke a long sentence.

His words made the faces of our classmates bloom, and the atmosphere was amicable again.

“Oh right, I was going to talk about the Christmas event schedule.”

Kim Yuri’s words made the sweet taste of whipped cream and strawberry disappear from my mouth.

“You mean the charity event that starts on Christmas Eve, right?”

“Yes! We’ll use the screening video from the festival so there’s nothing to prepare. But I think I’ll be absent on that day so…”

Kim Yuri apologized.

She’s greatly affected by water and she wanted to be excused from school since it’s going to snow on Christmas Eve.

In order to take advantage of that point, Nabiryeong sent Kim Yuri into Eungwang High and made her run away until she ran out of power.

Kim Yuri’s runaway swept away the enemies that hit Eungwang High, but Kim Yuri wasn’t safe.

In PMH, the plan of Nabiryeong made it easier to deal with the First Christmas scenario, but I have no intention of sacrificing Kim Yuri.

‘I thought she might refuse to take private lessons from Jukho on Christmas Eve, but it’s a relief.’

Kim Yuri wasn’t the only one who won’t attend the Christmas Event.

“I can’t come too.”

After Kim Yuri, Song Daesok expressed his intention to be absent.

He’s in the middle of an important project so it’s already difficult for him to find time.

It’s said that he was forced to take a leave to attend the festival.

There were quite a few eyes that took pity on Song Daesok, who was planning to work on Christmas Eve instead of being with Min Geurin.

‘It’s more reassuring that Song Daesok will be outside the school on that day. He’ll continue to watch Eungwang High through the player satellite.’

The next one was Hani, who was not on campus during the First Christmas scenario.

“I’m sorry, I’ll make time on the second day.”

“I’m thinking of going to Hani’s nursery too.”

Hani and Gong Cheonghwon were at the nursery that day.

The two leaves after the First Christmas scenario.

The two must’ve planned to spend a simple Christmas at the nursery.

The difference from PMH is that Dokgo Miro will also be there.

“I think yours truly will also be gone.”

Finally, Hwang Jiho expressed that he will be absent.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to the nursery too.”

“Hahahaha! No. I really wanted to participate, but it’s too bad.”

Dokgo Miro looked very wary of Hwang Jiho’s words.

Since Hwang Jiho kept on bothering Hani, it was natural for her to react like that.

In the end, Kwon Lena, Maeng Hyodon, Mok Wooram, Min Geurin, Saeum of April, and I will participate in the Christmas Eve event.

On the surface, there would be six of us.

‘Someone might double-check that Hwang Jiho and Hwang Myeongho are absent, so we have no choice but to do this.’

I couldn’t work with Hwang Jiho directly, but I could do something else thanks to that.

“Can I leave it to you, Jo Euishin?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded.

The preparations for Christmas are finished.
