The confused Class 3-0 understood a beat later and had their jaws drop.

They responded enthusiastically to Im Yeonhwa’s proposal.

“Finally, the energy of the universe will be in our…!”

“Ha, it’s dizzying just thinking about coming to school even after graduation.”

“It’s fine with me since I’ll see Miro.”

“Why would you see Miro?”

Class 3-0 intends to come to school after graduation to get the energy of the universe.

Im Yeonhwa was proud of her weak and cute students for making a commitment to achieve their goals even after graduation.

She said she would humor them, but Im Yeonhwa had no clue what the energy of the universe was or why they were looking for it.

“But why are you searching for the energy of the universe?”

“It’s a win to get the energy of the universe and be strong!”

Woo Kihwan shouted loudly in a voice full of rigor.

Im Yeonhwa found her student’s words strange.

The reason why Class 3-0 wants to beat Im Yeonhwa is to make her help them find the energy of the universe.

And yet, the reason why they want to find the energy of the universe is to beat Im Yeonhwa.

Im Yeonhwa was lost in thought as she stared at Woo Kihwan who said something that didn’t add up.

‘Is their train of thought in circles because they’re young and weak?’

Im Yeonhwa’s older sister gave her an advice in the past.

‘Yeonhwa, it’s impossible to understand all the mindsets of ordinary humans, so if you can, just smile and move on.’

Woo Kihwan and the other Class 3-0 kids weren’t normal people in the first place, but Im Yeonhwa didn’t take that into account.

So, she decided to smile generously and move on.

“I see! Then can you explain what the energy of the universe is?”

Without knowing Im Yeonhwa’s thoughts, Class 3-0 gave an excited briefing.

Their explanation, led by Woo Kihwan, was as follows;

The energy of the universe is a huge energy that makes the universe feel.

The strength that even the strong homeroom teacher can’t stand against.

Anyway, it’s a great force.

In any case, Im Yeonhwa nodded as she listened to the dismal explanation.

‘Hm, I thought they were hiding information because the information they put in the booklet was poor, but I guess that was it.’

Im Yeonhwa’s compassion deepened as she felt sorry for her students who were anxiously searching for something they didn’t know.

While she was listening, Class 3-0 was immersed in their own world.

“We were going to win the revenge match on teacher’s day using the energy of the universe!”

“The energy of the universe betrayed us!”

“Geuhk… If the energy of the universe cooperated, we would’ve had the homeroom teacher in front of the Cheondansu!”

Im Yeonhwa recalled the paintball match that they had.

It was a beautiful memory of enjoying a survival match at Mt. Cheonik for three nights and four days.

But for Class 3-0, it was a memory of defeat.

The peak of humiliation they experienced was the moment when their defeat was declared.

Woo Kihwan, unable to hide his feelings of betrayal, disgrace, and anger, wrote this;

[The biggest cause of defeat was the betrayal of the ‘energy of the universe.’ We believed it, but how can it do this to us? Class 3-0 decided to overthrow the energy of the universe.]

‘Was it about being betrayed by the energy of the universe in the message of surrender?’

Im Yeonhwa, who remembered all the words written by her students, recalled.

She doesn’t know what the energy of the universe is, but it betrayed her cute students so she decided that she would scold it.

“Okay, I’ll ask just a few more questions!”

Im Yeonhwa wanted clearer information from Woo Kihwan.

Time, place, number of times that they saw the energy of the universe.

The more questions she asked, the clearer the plan became.

Woo Kihwan found it strange that Im Yeonhwa, who always seemed to fight against their class without any plans, was acting carefully.

Im Yeonhwa answered Woo Kihwan’s doubts.

“Hm, it will be okay to go in recklessly, but it’s cold. We need to shorten the search time.”

“Do you not like being cold?”

Woo Kihwan’s eyes flashed at the thought that he found Im Yeonhwa’s weakness.

As if she sensed it, Im Yeonhwa replied kindly.

“No, weak and young children like you shouldn’t be out for long on a cold day. Cold isn’t good for muscles.”

Class 3-0 was shaken by the sudden fact bomb, but they didn’t fall for her unintentional provocation.

‘We’ll lose if we fall for it.’n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘We’ll get our hands on the energy of the universe and win!’

While Class 3-0 was burning with determination, Im Yeonhwa was relaxed.

She even showed the luxury of posting selfies on her social media account before heading to Mt. Cheonik.

[Catching the energy of the universe with my class!

It’s cold, so I’m worried if the weak kids will be able to follow me ㅠ0ㅠ:;

We need to catch it quickly and have a good rest! ^0^

Students of Class 3-0 who followed their teacher’s account felt like vomiting blood after reading the content, but they managed to keep their composure.

They believed that this humiliation would be over as long as they caught the energy of the universe.

On the other hand, the leisurely Im Yeonhwa changed as soon as she entered Mt. Cheonik.

‘It’s not energy waves, but I’m getting chills.’

‘That strong homeroom teacher is in her tracking mode… I’m overwhelmed!’

‘I’m sure she did this every time we played hide-and-seek. That’s why she always found us.’

Class 3-0 was thrilled to see Im Yeonhwa tracking with all her senses.

Im Yeonhwa was walking slowly, but her energy was unusual, making the students nervous throughout.

They walked the trail for who knows how long.

Soon after Im Yeonhwa looked at a distant place as if she locked in on a destination, she looked back at the students.

“Don’t overdo it but try to follow me.”

Shwooo!

Im Yeonhwa disappeared with the sound of the wind.

The students couldn’t even finish reacting to her words.

“Of course, we can—! She disappeared!”

“Where’s the homeroom teacher going? Anyone wanna explain?”

“Damn it, it’s so hard to keep up.”

The students immediately panicked.

They didn’t know where to go or what to do in the sudden situation.

“We can take a shortcut if we know where she’s going. Use your insight skills!”

Woo Kihwan hurriedly conducted his classmates.

They barely found that their homeroom teacher was heading for the Baekunbong Peak.

When they reached the peak, Im Yeonhwa greeted them with a wave.

“The hunt to Baekunbong Peak is blocked. Professor Kim Shinrok and Yong Jegun said we can’t.”

“What?”

“It doesn’t seem like their intention to hide the energy of the universe, so let’s look elsewhere.”

A lot of things must’ve happened while the students tried to catch up with Im Yeonhwa.

It was questionable how Kim Shinrok and Yong Jegun noticed and stopped her invasion, but they didn’t dig deep.

‘Professor Kim Shinrok is Jiikhoe’s adviser, and they’re in charge of the residential area. Mt. Cheonik is within their jurisdiction.’

‘It’ll be a hassle if we went against Professor Kim Shinrok. We’d have to deal with his previous and current students!’

‘And there’s Yong-ssaem too… It’s foolish to deal with a royal lineage who’s about to ascend.’

‘We mustn’t forget that our target is the energy of the universe and the homeroom teacher.’

More than anything, Im Yeonhwa predicted that the energy of the universe wasn’t there.

Knowing their teacher’s abilities, Class 3-0 trusted her.

“The energy of the universe isn’t something that lives in Mt. Cheonik, but something that visits at random times. Let’s hide in the most likely place!”

“…Right now? Without preparations?”

“Do you need to prepare to sleep?”

Im Yeonhwa was confident of hiding in the mountain for a few days even if she didn’t have survival tools.

She looked at her students with a pitying expression.

“Ah, I see. Yeah, rest and come back. I’ll go hide first.”

“It’s okay!”

“We can go on a stakeout right away too!”

Woo Kihwan went into incubation mode immediately after ordering the necessary food and items from the hideout that they prepared.

Based on Im Yeonhwa’s standards, the kids were poorly undercover but all of them participated.

The most important place they monitored was Cheondansu.

And just in time, something arrived in front of Cheondansu.

‘It’s here…! The energy of the universe!’

Woo Kihwan quietly sent a signal to Im Yeonhwa, though she had been observing it long before the signal came.

It didn’t seem like flight technology, but it looked like a human who was levitating.

It was dark and difficult to fathom, but Im Yeonhwa knew that it was neither human nor enemy.

‘Seeing Kihwan’s reaction, that must be the energy of the universe… But I don’t really feel the universe from it.’

Im Yeonhwa’s doubts were also felt by the students.

They felt that their existence was different from before.

‘It’s a little different from before. It used to be almost transparent.’

‘It’s got more shape and turned black.’

‘That’s true, but that’s the energy of the universe we’ve been looking for!’

As the students of Class 3-0 conversed with only lip movements, they decided to rush.

In the meantime, what they perceived as the energy of the universe, Sanryeong stood before the Cheondansu.

When energy waves overflowed from Sanryeong’s palm, those who were hiding became nervous.

One of the students couldn’t resist the tension and flinched.

Crack.

It was a small sound as if a branch swayed in the wind.

However, Sanryeong recognized that it was an artificial sound.

Sanryeong immediately stopped trying to use a skill and ran away in confusion.

“We’ve been found. Chase it!”

“Aaaahhh!”

Im Yeonhwa followed as the Class 3-0 rushed.

While the students ran with their full might, Im Yeonhwa almost felt like she was walking.

‘I’ll let my cute students make the ball. Or, well, I could fix it for them right away.’

At the end of Im Yeonhwa’s gaze was Sanryeong running wildly.
