I am not a philanthropist

Talking about it is a bit strange.

If someone else hears it, I think it might be misunderstood… Well, it doesn’t matter since there’s only Sejin and me here anyway.

“Teacher? Why don’t you stop talking?”

“No, it’s nothing, so just eat it quickly.”

Sejin seems to have finally made up his mind and bites off a wild ginseng.

“Ugh, it’s too bitter.”

“What is written in the mouth is good for the body. Don’t just swallow it, chew it thoroughly.”

The master said that it would be worth competing against Bianca even if only mana was changed to inner strength, but it was not worth doing, so I had to win unconditionally.

Because my goal is Sejin’s victory.

In order to secure victory, after the martial arts competition, he searched everywhere to find wild ginseng to feed Sejin.

All the places I looked at said it was difficult to find wild ginseng in the winter, so I wondered if it shouldn’t be done, but I got a call saying that I got wild ginseng from one place.

It’s been a while since I’ve collected it, but it’s well stored and it’s not bad, so I went straight to it.

I thought it might be a scam, but the moment I saw it, I knew it wasn’t a scam.

Because it was winter, there were no red berries or leaves, but I could feel the powerful mana from its body.

When I asked how he got it in the middle of winter, Simmani, who canned wild ginseng, died of an acute myocardial infarction last week.

As soon as Sejin finished eating the three, he instructed him to use the Internal Gongsim Act and put his hand on Sejin’s back.

“Sir, sir… Your body is too hot.”

“Originally yes. Concentrate while thinking only about the simbeop. If you lose your mind, it’s a joke.”

Through the hand that touched his back, he injected internal energy and sent it to Sejin’s Danjeon.

It seems to be using the mental method, but the energy of the wild ginseng is running rampant, perhaps because Sejini’s inner strength is so lacking.

Calming the energy of wild ginseng with internal energy, he first began to pierce the veins.

“Quaaah! Sir! It hurts so much.”

“You said it would hurt a little.”

“article… Not a little bit!”

Master said that each person is different, isn’t it?

Sejin, who is normally so dignified that he doesn’t even say that he’s having a hard time, seems to be on the same level as me in the past to the point where he grumbles like this.

There was nothing I could do about it, so I told him to be patient and once again sent my energy into the vein.

At first, it seemed like a solid fortress, but it collapsed even though I didn’t try ten times, maybe because I added some of my inner strength to the energy of wild ginseng.

I think it took quite a while to get it, but it was so much easier than I thought.

The wild ginseng I got this time is about 80 years old, but it’s not even older than the one I ate last time.

I think it’s because Sejin is still young.

In the past, Master said that the older you get, the more waste products accumulate in the blood vessels and the thicker the walls, so it is easier to penetrate the blood vessels when you are younger.

“You held up well.”

“Sir, sir… Are you done now?”

It’s a dying voice.

“no. There is still one left.”

I’ve pierced the vein, now I have to pierce the poison vein.

“Yes? Aww! Teacher! I think it hurts more than before.”

“It’s tough. I won’t die, so I’m going to use the sim law.”

Once I hit it, it seems that poison veins will take a little longer than im veins.

It feels much thicker than the vein, and the energy of wild ginseng seems to have been consumed quite a bit to pierce the vein earlier.

I thought that once I started, I had to finish it.

It feels really exhausting, but if I had known it would be this hard, I would have taken it to the master and asked him to report it.

“I had a hard time being patient. Because it’s over now… uh?”

I told him to rest now and I was about to leave, but this guy passed out.

The master said that if he passed out, he would say it was a joke, but seeing that the poison vein was safely pierced, it seems that he passed out at the same time as he was pierced.

I didn’t want to lift a hand by using my strength almost to the limit, but I couldn’t leave Sejin sleeping on the floor like this, so I hugged her.

It doesn’t look heavy at first glance, but it has a subtle sense of weight, perhaps because of his height and muscles.

I put him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and left the room.

Anyway, he is a disciple who needs a lot of hands.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the smell of something burning hit my nose.

I hurriedly came to the living room thinking there might be a fire, but luckily it wasn’t, and Sejin was wrestling with the frying pan.

“Sir, sir, are you awake?”

“yes. What did you burn?”

“Well, I was going to prepare breakfast… .”

Looking at the crying guy, it looks like he’s completely eaten up.

When I approached and looked at the frying pan, it seems that they were trying to make fried eggs, but it seemed that they hadn’t even oiled it, and the pan was all burned to a pitch black.

“What kind of breakfast is this guy who can’t even cook ramen? You should have woken the teacher up if you were hungry.”

“Just like yesterday, it seems like the teacher is doing everything… . sorry.”

I can’t get angry at him with his head down and his sullen appearance.

“Well, it’s not difficult… The teacher will cook for you, so don’t do this from now on.”

“Yes. Oh, let it go. I will do the dishes.”

“yes. Kimchi jjigae is okay for breakfast, right? I’ll make you something delicious for lunch.”

“The kimchi stew is also good.”

“yes. I’ll wash my face first and come back.”

I quickly washed my face, came to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.

I took out the kimchi I bought from the mart yesterday and sliced it, and cut half the onion I bought to eat with the meat and put it in the pot.

“Pork? tuna?”

“I’m all good.”

“Since it’s morning, let’s go clean with tuna.”

Lightly sprinkled with cooking oil, fried in oil, poured water, opened two cans of tuna, drained one and a half cans, and put them in.

It’s best to boil it with rice water or broth, but it’s too cumbersome to do so.

“It’s okay to have egg rolls instead of fries, right?”

Personally, I prefer egg rolls to fried ones.

“Yes!”

Thinking that the answer was good, I took out four eggs from the refrigerator.

I cracked an egg in a rice bowl, loosened it well, took out the green onion, chopped it into pieces, added half of the tuna I had left earlier, and added a pinch of salt to make egg rolls.

Served with seaweed, this is a pretty decent breakfast.

“Because it’s quick and easy, you make the stew right away, and you make the egg rolls so well… I think the teacher is really great.”

“Over again. Even if you don’t flatter, the teacher will do all the cooking, so go and heat up some rice. Can I use a microwave?”

“Ah, yes.”

I opened the stew and looked at the seasoning. It would taste better if I boiled it a little longer, but it’s still not bad.

I put in the green onion I had left while making egg rolls earlier and closed the lid again.

“How are you feeling? Doesn’t it feel like something has changed?”

“I feel full of energy. I think I’ll win even if I fight against the teacher… oh!”

He spoke so confidently, but I was dumbfounded, so I ate a chestnut.

“Who wins without even being able to avoid the night.”

“Try hitting it again. Avoid… Ouch!”

Seeing Sejin fall down clutching her forehead reminds me of the past.

I think I ate wild ginseng and messed around with the master a lot, but maybe the master at that time felt the same way as I do now?

“Once you finish eating, let’s do a bit of simbeop training and try sparring.”

“Yes. I will do the dishes.”

After eating, I drank a cup of coffee and waited for the dishes to finish.

“I’m done. I’ll go to my room and change some clothes.”

“Would you like to sit down for a while before that?”

“Yes? Ah yes.”

“If you ate, you should pay the bill, right?”

“Calculation? How much is the meal?”

“Not the rice, but the price of wild ginseng that the teacher fed you yesterday.”

“ah… .”

He looks a bit disappointed, perhaps because he didn’t expect me to pay him, but I’m not a philanthropist.

“Is it very expensive? If you tell me the price, I’ll talk to my father… .”

“It’s about a teacher’s salary for a year, but you ate it. I won’t take your father’s money.”

“Then when I get the prize money from the competition later… .”

“You still have a long way to go to get the prize money. Interest will be charged in the meantime, is that okay?”

“Is it? de… I’ll give it to you.”

I roll my eyes with an expression that says too much, but if I do more, I think I’ll really hate you, so I’ll have to stop joking around here.

“It’s a joke. You don’t have to pay me back.”

“Yes? If it’s not money… no way?”

Sejin suddenly took a step backwards while wrapping his arms around his chest.

oh my… What the hell is this guy really thinking… .

“Sir, I… Ouch!”

“It’s not what you think, so come and sign this.”

As he spoke, he took out a folded document from his pocket.

“car… Is it an IOU?”

“Because it’s a joke. what is an IOU WHCU Match Prediction Agreement.”

In most sports games, there is a system that pays money according to dividends if you predict the match, commonly called Toto.

Similar systems, although under different names, are operating abroad, and the World Hunter Association, which hosts WHCU competitions, also operates a match prediction system.

aka WH Toto.

Some criticize that it is not enough to make children fight and even bet money, but most of the remaining profits after paying dividends are used for humanitarian purposes such as aid to developing countries or relief activities for countries affected by natural disasters, making it legal in all countries. is recognized as

Even if it is legal, the rules are quite strict, once only adults can participate in betting and multiple bets are not allowed.

In addition, officials such as educators, family members, and relatives of participating students can only bet on students who are related to them.

However, even officials can bet on other students if they receive a match prediction agreement from a participating student.

“If you receive and submit this, you will be able to select other students. So you want to bet on Bianca too?”

“What did you say. Can’t you see the third row down there?”

WH Toto’s bet amount is strictly limited to $1,000 per person.

However, participating students can bet even if they are not adults, and there is no limit on the amount.

Furthermore, the winning prize is automatically bet.

The original prize money is 3 million dollars, which is by no means a small amount, but when it is paid, it is paid with dividends added.

Bianca, the winner of the last competition, also won in her freshman year, so this time the dividend was less than double, but when she won the first year, the dividend was 20.3 times, setting a new record for prize money.

$60.9 million. In terms of Korean currency, it is more than 70 billion won.

Lee Ji-sung, the main character of the original story, finished his freshman year and went to the WHCU competition and broke this record by winning the championship. Earn.

“You didn’t want to bet on Bianca, but because of the bet limits?”

“answer. Why did Sejin leave you and hang out with Bianca? You don’t want to donate to the World Hunter Association.”

Those involved who can only bet on participating students can also bet without limit on the amount if they receive consent from the student.

“How much do you want to hang out?”

“Of course it is all property. I’m going to scrape the loan to the limit and bet it all.”

“big… Are you going to take out a loan?”

The main character of the original work also made bets by drawing money, writing a memorandum stating that he would hand over not only the pocket money he had saved up until now, but also the real estate in his name and stocks to be inherited in the future if he met his older brother and failed to repay them.

Of course, no matter how hard I try, I can’t attract as much money as the main character, who is a third-generation conglomerate.

Still, the other day, I sold the body of a giant sandworm and got 500 million won, and the stock went up a lot, so if I sold everything and got a loan, I could easily raise about 3 billion won.

No, I think I can make up to 5 billion if I do well because there is profit from hunting A-level portals this time.

WH Toto’s exact dividend has not been released yet, as betting begins two weeks before the start of the tournament and ends one week before.

Still, if you listen to the predictions of the experts, Bianca’s win in this tournament is also likely, so Bianca’s dividend is almost the same as the original amount, and the other students’ dividend is basically 10 times or more.

Moreover, since Sejin was eliminated in the first match last year, the dividend will be higher.

Ten times 5 billion is 50 billion, and 20 times is 100 billion.

“I told you. The teacher says that our Sejin believes in it.”

“No, no matter how much the loan… .”

“I don’t think that will happen, but really, if things go wrong, Sejin will feed you.”

“female… I will work hard.”
