Chapter 522: Model (6)

It wasn’t long after sunrise, and the surroundings were still dark.

But having the two beautiful characters from PMH made it seem like it was bright.

Ahn Dain stared right at Yong Jegun and spoke.

“It’s 7:30 AM on a Sunday.”

Ahn Dain said the time calmly.

Her voice sounded as clear as usual, but there was a hint of resentment.

Yong Jegun wasn’t like ordinary teachers.

Despite being the longest employee of Eungwang High, he’s never been promoted or taken up homeroom classes.

Being the assistant homeroom teacher of our class this year was the exception.

Yong Jegun doesn’t carry many obligations.

‘I haven’t seen him work overtime. He’s probably doing that not to get promoted.’

Today is Sunday, a rest day.

At half past seven, it was pretty early in the morning.

Unlike other teachers who go to school even on holidays, there’s no way Yong Jegun would do something like that.

Ahn Dain made that point clear.

“Yeah, I know.”

Yong Jegun replied softly.

He seemed to like the edge that Ahn Dain was showing, though Ahn Dain didn’t seem particularly disturbed by his attitude.

Instead, she posed a question.

“Did you come to meet our homeroom teacher?”

There was stress in her words, but maybe that was just me.

Her pronunciation is usually even and clear though.

I felt proud to see her bravely speak to the mischievous dragon, something that most students in Eungwang High are reluctant to do.

“Yeah, I’m planning to meet Professor Kim Shinrok too.”

“Our homeroom teacher was very busy yesterday.”

“You know it well.”

“I heard that my classmates, who were training at night, ran into Professor Kim SHinrok who was returning from the faculty room.”

Kim Shinrok must’ve gotten busier these days.

A lot of people have fallen onto the jurisdiction of the Tiger Clan, and those who were difficult to handle were assigned to Kim Shinrok for torture.

Other than that, two senior knights belonging to the Oath of the Three Knights intervened with our class picnic, all the while Kim Shinrok is in charge of the dragon slayer Cadmus.

And like a cherry on top, Kim Shinrok was busy trying to connect with Sung Gukeon.

‘Seeing Ahn Dain follow him so well, Kim Shinrok must be a very hardworking teacher too... He’s amazing.’

But on second thought, there was something strange.

Why is Class 1-1 so quickly informed on what Kim Shinrok is doing?

According to Ahn Dain, some of them saw Kim Shinrok return late last night.

And right now, it was just past dawn.

How does Ahn Dain know all that?

Perhaps their class is keen on sharing information quickly as they’re extremely wary of the issues that Yong Jegun causes.

Ahn Dain is their class president, I know she has a greater appreciation for her homeroom teacher than the other kids in her class too.

Yong Jegun answered with a pleased face as if having the same thoughts as me.

“Professor Kim Shinrok was very busy yesterday. I was busy too, I was on a picnic. I’m glad it’s a rest day today.”

Yong Jegun exquisitely scratched Ahn Dain’s mind.

Although supervising a picnic is one of a teacher’s tasks, it’s not really a difficult job.

Though we had to cope with attacks yesterday, few people knew of it.

To paraphrase what Yong Jegun said, “Oh, Shinrok was busy working yesterday? I was busy too. Playing outside. But it’s great that today’s a rest day.”

It was flustering, but since the professor talked to me first, he was a bit hard to evade.

“Hello.”

“You’re ever so polite. Did you think about the suggestion I made yesterday?”

“...I’m thinking about it.”

“Yeah, it’s not good to rush you. Alright, I’ll go now. See you tomorrow.”

Why did he have to bring up such a thing in front of Ahn Dain...

Ahn Dain’s eyes were burning.

Shortly after Yong Jegun’s excitement, I greeted Ahn Dain and went out to train.

On the way, I mainly talked about Olmu and the picnic, to which Ahn Dain asked about Yong Jegun’s whereabouts during the picnic.

Yong Jegun appropriately packaged and delivered the story in a way that makes it seem like the treasure hunt was something he really enjoyed.

“I see. Thanks for telling me, Euishin-ah.”

I wonder what Ahn Dain is thinking.

I was worried, but I didn’t feel like interrogating the title heroine so I just moved on.

And then, come Sunday afternoon.

Yoo Sanghoon sent an uncharacteristically long message.

[Yoo Sanghoon] My class will have an emergency meeting on Monday.

[Yoo Sanghoon] What happened at the dorm?

Ahn Dain called an emergency meeting.

Does she really intend to unite the class to overthrow Yong Jegun?

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I decided to prepare myself.

Ahn Dain and Yong Jegun...

I’ll try to support them both.

Monday.

With Year One Class One going to school early, locking their classroom door, and preparing for something, a very important schedule began in Eungwang High.

It was the final exam for the third-year students.

In consideration for the third-year students who were preparing for college admission and employment, their exams will be held early.

That’s how the final exams for Eungwang High seniors began.

“I hope the Class Zero seniors do well on their final exam.”

Kim Yuri sounded worried, perhaps about what Woo Kihwan’s class would do.

“There’s a senior in Year Three who wanted to stay in school until they become in the same class as Miro...”

Is she talking about the Class Zero senior in the Korean Traditional Music club who almost didn’t take the CSAT to watch Dokgo Miro’s performance?

When Kwon Lena said worriedly, Dokgo Miro reassured her.

“It’s okay. I talked with Jung Haeon sunbaenim.”

“The fansite sunbaenim?”

“Yep.”

Although it wasn’t revealed, there was a big conflict over the declaration of the senior who wanted to overstay in Eungwang High to be in the same class as Dokgo Miro.

Jung Haeon, Dokgo Miro’s fansite, talked to the senior who wanted to overstay.

She declared that if the senior goes through with their plan, she will use all her personal connections, experiences, and abilities to block the senior from the fandom.

When Jung Haeon mentioned blocking the senior from buying tickets, goods, fan sign events, and participating in music broadcasts, the senior finally gave in.

“Oh, that’s right, I wanted to ask Miro a favor.”

“Hmm? What favor?”

“We’re planning to open recruitment after the fourth quarter student representative meeting, and we’re planning to select candidates by recommendation. I wanna recommend you, Miro.”

Kim Yuri floated a hologram.

On it, the title “Eungwang High Student Promotion Ambassadors”

Under the heading were photos of Yeom Junyeol and Yeom Garam, the cover models of this year’s Eungwang High promotional materials.
