Chapter 729: Guest

After talking to the attention-seekers, our classmates were already getting ready to go home.

They were busy erasing the scribbles on their faces before leaving the team building.

“Hahaha! It’s a waste erasing the masterpiece of yours truly. I’ll draw it one more time if you ask me to, so don’t be too disappointed.”

“I’ll erase it for you, Hani-yah!”

“…”

Hani got caught up because she erased her scribbles too late.

Hwang Jiho laughed and Kim Yuri looked at him with a complicated expression, while Dokgo Miro helped erase the scribbles on Hani’s face.

Even the competent class president didn’t know what to do with the childish thousand-year-old tiger who calls our classmate his “close friend.”

‘I don’t know about Song Daesok, but if Hwang Jiho keeps doing that, I think Kim Yuri will deduce Hani’s identity.’

Looks like the old man doesn’t have the intention of hiding his identity and his friend’s.

“You’re back. I was going to go find you if you hadn’t come.”

The laughing Hwang Jiho turned his head and looked at me.

I thought he was busy playing with his “close friend” but I guess he noticed that I was gone.

In any case, I didn’t respond to him since I didn’t have anything in particular to say.

I looked someplace else and saw Min Geurin.

She was dithering, visibly wanting to say something to Mok Wooram.

I wonder why he didn’t give the energy violin to Kwon Lena.

“Geurin-ah, if you keep looking at him like that, the pushover will cry!”

“I think you’ll cry instead if she talks to you, Daesok-ah.”

Song Daesok interrupted while Min Geurin was hesitating, and in the end, the two didn’t get to talk.

When the party ended, the Lake of Eternity sent people to see the kids off.

Hwang Jiho and I were going to Eunryeonggwan, so we headed back to Eungwang High with the other dormitory kids.

“VP, are you staying at the dorms today?”

“Jo Euishin is going to stay in my mansion.”

“I asked the VP, why are you answering?”

“Hahaha!”

Maeng Hyodon was dumbfounded, but Hwang Jiho was brazen.

I spoke to Maeng Hyodon, Mok Wooram, and Hani who are staying at the dorms.

“If you need anything, just contact me.”

“…Isn’t that guy bothering you too much?”

“Don’t worry, my dear friend. Yours truly values his benefactor.”

“I’m not asking you.”

Hani worriedly asked as if she thought I was being dragged around by Hwang Jiho.

I think I remember Cheongho being the most caring among the tigers despite not speaking much.

That’s why her students are waiting for a long time.

“Thanks for your care, Vice President.”

Mok Wooram spoke in a soulless voice.

He was energized during the birthday party because Kwon Lena was around, but I guess not now.

I don’t know what the energy violin craftsman is thinking about, but I wanted to see if I could do something to help.

After seeing off the three, Hwang Jiho and I headed to Eunryeonggwan.

As Hwang Jiho took the lead, the Cheongrang Lake opened.

“We’ve been waiting for you, Hwangho, Jo Euishin.”

Jeokho greeted us as we entered, behind him were Kim Shinrok and Baekho.

The former was meditating, while the latter was taking a step back.

With them were Eun Seoho and Eun Iho, who were messily trying to use their energy waves.

“It’s Hwangho-nim and Euishin oppa!”

“Do you want to see us use our light skills? We can use it well now!”

Eun Seoho and Eun Iho are training with them today?

The two of them seemed to be training first while Kim Shinrok was meditating.

Hwang Jiho looked at the young descendants with his Glare skill.

“Your energy waves aren’t in the best state. Show it next time.”

“We’re okay. We can use it one more time. We want to show it to Euishin hyung.”

“Instead of practicing using our light skill, we want to train to fight with the Tiger Clan!”

The kids want to train like Kim Shinrok as soon as possible.

It would be nice to have them train with him now, but I think it would be dangerous for the kids who just learned how to deal with their light skill.

“Not until you can use your light skill properly. Other than that, you have to practice combat skills. Didn’t you say you want to be top notchers in Eungwang High?”

“But the entrance exam is over!”

“The entrance exam is not the end. Didn’t you say you admire Ahn Dain? Ahn Dain entered school with Joo Soohyuk and she never missed the top spot. I’m sure she studies during vacation too.”

The kids settled down at the mention of Ahn Dain.

Perhaps because Ahn Dain became part of the Tiger Clan, the kids seemed to be motivated.

“Why don’t you train with Ahn Dain next time? She wanted to be close to you.”

“Really? Dain unnie wants to be friends with us?”

“We can train with Dain noona?”

“I recommended it during our last meal and she accepted. Oh, schedules have to be adjusted since that child trains with her classmates too.”

Hwang Jiho often used his alter ego to watch the situation with Ahn Dain’s family, and he must’ve suggested it while they were eating together.

I was very grateful that Hwang Jiho cared about Ahn Dain.

It was great to see that Ahn Dain seemed to blend in quickly with the Tiger Clan.

‘By the way, is Ahn Dain training with her classmates? That means Yoo Sanghoon is training with them.’

The showdown between Class 1-1 and Yong Jegun came to mind.

Don’t tell me they’re training for Kim Shinrok again this time.

When the next semester begins, the classes will be changed up except for Class Zero, but it seems like Class 1-1 will continue sticking up for Kim Shinrok.

‘Now that we’re in second grade, a special class will be formed.’

Classes are organized by admission grade alternately with the exception of Class Zero whose composition doesn’t change.

That’s why Ahn Dain and Joo Soohyuk are in different classes.

In the second grade, this method of class organization changes a little.

After placing exceptionally excellent children in Class One, the remaining nine classes are divided so that the average grades are similar.

One of the goals of the students of Eungwang High is to enter Class One and maintain it until their third year.

‘The top notchers, as long as they’re not in Class Zero, could be in the same class. Just like Yeom Junyeol and Cheon Dongha.’

This means that by the second grade, Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain could be in the same class!

In PMH, the two weren’t placed in the same class because Joo Soohyuk entered Class Zero, but it’s different in this world.

There’s no reason for Joo Soohyuk to enter Class Zero, so those two could be in the same class.

I was already overwhelmed to think that Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain would organize class events together.

However, something bothered me while thinking about the class arrangements.

‘There’s a possibility that Class Zero students will change.’

Students of Class Zero don’t always stay until they graduate.

Class Zero is where high-potential, problematic students who need special attention from teachers are put in.

Therefore, if professors deem that a problematic child would no longer cause problems, they’re recommended to be removed from Class Zero.

‘There are a few candidates in our class.’

First was our president, Kim Yuri.

Kim Yuri voluntarily decided to enter Class Zero because of her fear of her light skill.

However, now that she can control it to some extent, she’ll be able to leave Class Zero if she wishes.

If it’s Kim Yuri, she could be in the same class as her best friend Ahn Dain.

‘Other than her, Dokgo Miro, Min Geurin, and Song Daesok can go to another class if they want, but I think those three will stay.’

The reason why they were assigned to Class Zero is because they openly declared that they wouldn’t attend school.

Now that they’re attending well, there’s no reason for them to be assigned to Class Zero.

However, Dokgo Miro is likely to remain in consideration of Hani, and Min Geurin and Song Daesok will stay since they don’t like many people and they follow Professor Ham Geunhyung well.

The rest will automatically be left in Class Zero because of their origins, their internal affairs, and the weird stuff they’ve done at school.

“Jo Euishin. Ahn Dain made some suggestions to boost the learning motivation of incoming second graders. Do you know that?”

While I was lost in thought, Hwang Jiho talked to me.

I thought about what Ahn Dain would’ve suggested, but I couldn’t find any answer right away.

Is it related to her training with her classmates?

Before I could ask, Hwang Jiho added first.

“She said why don’t we assign Kim Shinrok as the homeroom teacher of Class 2-1.”

What does that have to do with promoting learning motivation?

I searched my head to come up with a reason, but the young Eun Seoho and Eun Iho answered first.

“Class 2-1 is a special class, right? Then that means students have to be in the top 10% to enter Shinrok hyung’s class.”

“Then I think students will work hard to get in! Can Shinrok oppa be the adviser to Class Zero instead?”

Listening to the two, I finally realized it.

If Kim Shinrok is assigned as Class 2-1’s homeroom teacher, then all his fans will study hard to get in.

Students are willing to fight against Yong Jegun for Kim Shinrok, so I’m sure they’ll do as much as study hard.

I admired Ahn Dain’s wise suggestion/

“Hahaha! It must be difficult because Ahn Dain said it first. Class 1-0’s homeroom teacher is outstanding, so I’ll think about it after a year.”

“It will be fun to be in Shinrok oppa’s class…”

“Dain noona took dibs first so…”

Won’t Im Yeonhwa be the next Class 1-0 homeroom teacher?

GeumChanWangChan won’t let go of Jegal, and my classmates also really like Professor Ham.

The only Class Zero teacher is Im Yeonhwa, and considering her strength, she would be suitable for the job.

‘Eunho, Eun Seoho, and Eun Iho will be part of Class 1-0, so it’ll be hard for an ordinary teacher to handle them. If it’s the strong homeroom teacher though, I’m sure she can do it.’

As we talked about class assignments and homeroom teachers, I saw Kim Shinrok standing nearby with an earned face.

He must’ve heard our conversation after his meditation.

He seemed flustered to hear that there are tigers who want him as their homeroom teacher.

Looking at Hwang Jiho’s expression, it’s clear that he brought it up for Kim Shinrok to overhear on purpose.

Hwang Jiho explained how persistently Ahn Dain suggested him.

“I have something to say about the next training.”

When Kim Shinrok, who had his face down, couldn’t even greet Hwang Jiho, Baekho-gun spoke up.

He stopped Hwang Jiho’s mental attack in consideration of his student.

When Hwang Jiho stopped talking, Baekho-gun looked at me and spoke.

“I want Jo Euishin and the descendant who can summon a dragon to help with training.”
