November 2nd.

It was the first day of filming for Shadowman 3.

Seo-jun and Seo Eun Hye got in the car to leave their accommodation for the first shoot.

Good morning.

The bodyguard who was sitting in the drivers seat greeted them with a smile.

Seo-jun and Seo Eun Hye also smiled brightly and greeted him back.

Thank you for your help today.

Dont worry. Im the best driver in the security team.

The bodyguard had won a fierce competition to drive Seo-juns car. He hummed a tune in his mind as he started the engine.

Seo-jun, who had buckled his seat belt, looked at the drivers seat.

It felt strange that Anh Da Ho was not there as usual.

It feels weird without Da Ho hyung.

Especially since Anh Da Ho always accompanied him during filming.

Hes busy preparing for the exam with the staff from Kings Agency. Theres nothing we can do about it.

I knew Da Ho hyung was preparing for the exam, but hes doing it with the staff? Do they know about the exam?

Seo Eun Hye answered Seo-juns question with a smile.

Nara said they had an exam every time they opened a new branch of Kings Market. Its been a tradition since their grandfathers time. They used to work at Kings Market, so theyve seen it a few times.

I see.

Well, there were some Korean staff at Kings Agency, so it must have been easier to prepare.

How many people do you think will come?

The filming was scheduled for the afternoon. In the morning, they were going to have a simple exam at the set.

I dont know. I told them to come if they were interested. I dont think there will be that many, though.

Really?

Rachel and Evan might have been curious about Korea since they were learning Korean, but other people might not have much interest.

A few minutes later.

Seo-jun and Seo Eun Hye arrived at the set and widened their eyes.

There are a lot of people?

There were more people gathered at the set than they expected.

***

Anh Da Ho, who had received a call from the bodyguard, entered the set with Seo-jun and Seo Eun Hye.

On one side of the set, there were folding screens and an altar that they didnt expect to see in America. Rice cakes and fruits were neatly placed on top of the altar.

The staff who had finished preparing were taking pictures with curious expressions.

Da Ho hyung. Is everything ready?

Yes.

He had asked several directors carefully, but it still felt awkward.

Anh Da Ho read the exam procedure he had written down once again.

Seo-jun will read the congratulatory message. One of the staff from Kings Agency will translate it for you, so pause between sentences.

Okay.

Ill take care of hosting and burning the message.

They had practiced hard in the parking lot of their accommodation.

Seo-jun nodded at Anh Da Hos words.

Seo Eun Hye said.

I think Seo-jun and Da Ho should bow first, since most people probably dont know how to do it.

Seo-jun and Anh Da Ho agreed.

But wheres the pigs head?

Wasnt that the most important part? Seo-jun tilted his head and Anh Da Ho laughed.

Rachel brought it.

A pigs head?

A doll!

A pink pig nose suddenly appeared in front of Seo-juns eyes.

It was a soft and squishy pig nose that looked like it would be fun to touch. Seo-jun blinked his eyes.

When he rolled his eyes, he saw the eyes and ears of the pig doll.

He looked up and saw who was holding the pig doll.

Rachel Hill was smiling brightly.

Rachel! Youre here?

I came with Evan and Ms. Swallen.

Evan Block and Swallen Anne were standing behind Rachel Hill. Seo-jun smiled widely.

While Seo-jun was talking to them, Rachel Hill placed the pig doll in the center of the altar as she had seen in YouTube videos.

The staff who were taking pictures tilted their heads.

Whats with the pig doll on the table?

Yeah, what is it? A decoration?

A passing staff member from Kings Agency explained with a smile.

Normally, they put a pigs head there.

A pigs head?

They couldnt imagine what it would look like. Some of them searched it online. for new novels

The images that came up showed altars with pig heads.

They were real pig heads.

I practiced, but Im nervous.

Do we do it three times?

Yes. Just relax.

At Seo-juns words, they exhaled.

Seo Eun Hye, who noticed their worried expressions as they tried to time their rise for the second bow, smiled and said.

Do you want me to join you?

Yes!

They brightened up at her words. Seo Eun Hye smiled softly.

Jonathan Will stood next to Seo Eun Hye and they bowed together. The four people followed their timing.

Please let us finish well.

He had dreamed of this series for a long time. Director Ryan Will sincerely hoped for it.

Somehow, he felt his mind calm down just by praying like this.

[Prayers: 3]

Please let everyone be safe.

She wished for the safety of their stuntmen, Swallen Anne and Evan Block, Rachel Hill and her son and friends.

[Prayers: 7]

Please make it a good movie.

She hoped that her uncles dream would come true.

[Prayers: 8]

Seo-jun barely held back his laughter as he watched them bow sincerely.

It was nice that they prayed earnestly, but all four of them couldnt catch the timing to get up for the second bow.

They looked around awkwardly, just like Eun Soo did on New Years Day.

The five people who had bowed stepped down and this time, Fallon Park led the Marines staff to bow.

They all tensed up and looked at Fallon Park.

[Prayers: 16]

Next was the stuntmens turn.

Kim Jae Yeon bowed awkwardly under the gazes from all directions. Finally, the staff and the Kings Agency staff also bowed.

[Prayers: 43]

43 people.

There seemed to be some people who prayed with them while watching from the sidelines.

That should be enough, right?

Seo-jun smiled contentedly.

The last step was to burn the congratulatory message.

Anh Da Ho held the message and a lighter in his hand after clearing the nearby objects that could catch fire.

Then Ill burn the message.

Seo-jun watched as the fire caught on the end of the message.

A red flame burned and a notification popped up.

[The exam is over.]

[(Sun)Orc Priests Prayer-Intermediate is activated.]

The congratulatory message burned quickly along the paper.

As they watched the message burn, Seo-juns eyes were elsewhere.

Only he could see the aura that resembled the flames from the message, exploding and embracing the prayers.

Seo-jun smiled satisfied at the aura that headed towards the stuntmen, who would be in the most danger during filming.
