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.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

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!”

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.
