(86)

new semester

When I open my eyes, I see a familiar ceiling.

I think I fell asleep quite late yesterday, but my body is light, the sunlight is very cozy, and even the birdsong… .

Wait, birdsong?

I quickly looked for my cell phone and turned it on, and there were missed calls from several teachers, including Mr. Park.

The time is half past nine.

It is tardy.

I roughly washed my face, changed my clothes as quickly as possible, and ran to the teacher’s office with all my might.

Being late for the first day of work in the New Year… .

I forgot to set an alarm yesterday.

I think it’s fortunate that it’s the operating council period when only the teachers go to work, so I carefully open the door and try to enter, but the door bursts open.

“yes? Mr. Kang, are you going to work right now?”

Damn, I canceled what I said was fortunate.

There is no luck, and even if you run into each other, you run into a sympathizer.

“I forgot the alarm… . sorry.”

“Well, it could be. Be careful next time.”

“Yes? Ah yes. From now on, I will never do anything like this.”

I thought I would hear nagging for at least 10 minutes, but I never thought it would go over so lightly.

Does the effect of winning Sejin still linger?

When I came to my seat thinking that it was fortunate, the teachers around me approached me.

“Sir Kang, it’s been a while. I didn’t answer the phone, so I wondered if he was quitting… Overslept?”

“Yes. I forgot to set an alarm… sorry.”

“Mr. Kang, are you really not quitting? If it were me, I would have quit right away.”

“I will do it until I get a pension.”

“Sheesh, there are more people.”

“really?”

When he said he really didn’t want to quit, the teachers grumbled and took out a 10,000 won bill each and handed it to Mr. Park.

Now that I look at it, it looks like I made a bet, but it seems that everyone except for Mr. Park bet on my quitting.

“Mr. Kang, how about pork belly with soju after work today? Thanks to Mr. Kang, I earned a good amount, so I will give Mr. Kang his share.”

“ah… I was late today, but I drank a little… .”

“You weren’t like that usually. Anyway, I don’t have class today. Ah, now that you’re the owner of the building, are you saying you won’t hang out with common people like us?”

“It can’t be. Okay. I’ll pay for all the money you earned today for the meat.”

“Are you going to go for unlimited refills?”

“Then I’ll pay for the liquor.”

“However much.”

“I will buy it tomorrow.”

“Are you Mr. Choi?”

Mr. Choi has been having a hard time because his wife always gave him too little pocket money. What is it?

“It’s not as much as you, but we all bet on Sejin.”

“Because I trusted Mr. Kang.”

“If I really believed, I should have bet all $1,000. You said you only bet 800,000 won?”

“That’s what I bet with my emergency fund. And Mr. Park, don’t you have to buy two days? He said he bet everything, including his wife, brother-in-law, and eldest daughter.”

“I’ll buy it for two days.”

“Hey, teachers, my opinion is… .”

“There are no classes this week!”

My liver is going to suffer a lot this week.

I was worried that people would distance themselves from me or think that I was precious because I made a lot of money, but I guess I was worrying for nothing.

Of course, the inner thoughts may be different, but I am grateful that I do not openly reject them.

Come to think of it, Teacher Min also said thank you and said she was buying rice, but since the times may overlap, I’ll ask during lunch.

“Oh… I’m moving in the afternoon, so it’d be better to tidy things up in the morning.”

“Did you get your grade assignment?”

“It came out. If you go into the business contact, it’s there. You are a sophomore this year.”

The assignment of which grade a teacher will be in charge of is decided in consultation with the vice principal and the principal, but it is not random.

In December of last year, I submitted an application by writing down my 2nd choice of what grade I wanted to take next year, but I wrote my 2nd year as my 1st choice.

Sophomores are busier than first-years since they go to practice starting in the second semester, but next year, they have to take charge of first-years unconditionally.

Of course, it is not impossible to take charge of the same grade for 3 consecutive years, but most of the teachers tend to avoid the difficult 3rd grade and prefer the 1st grade, so the competition is a bit fierce.

Well, it’s comfortable for me to continue teaching the same kids I used to teach, and I’ve heard a lot from them.

Sejin’s win at WHCU was an achievement, so I thought maybe I could go to the 3rd year, but I’m glad.

“It’s as you wished. What about the teachers?”

In fact, there is another reason why I chose sophomore as my first choice.

Just a school trip.

Just as first-year students go to Gangwon-do every year for a retreat, second-year students go to the same place every time.

The place is Japan, and of course, there are times when I go to Tokyo in Japan, and there are times when I go to Osaka or Fukuoka, but there is a place I never miss.

‘The Black Temple’.

Located in the suburbs of Nagoya, it is the world’s largest fixed portal, half the size of Jeju Island. There is no limit now, but it is said that up to 1,000 people could enter even before the attack.

All of them are desolate sand desert areas, so they have no resource value, but there is a huge temple in the center.

It was all built of black rock, so it was named the Black Temple. Inside the temple, unknown languages were found along with various murals.

Although it was a completely new language that was not found anywhere on earth, famous linguists around the world interpreted two sentences after long research.

The most glorious one chose the path of corruption by themselves in order to prevent destruction.

… The chosen one will gain everything and stand tall on top of destruction.

In the original work, the main characters get their second chance there.

If you look at the interpreted sentence, there is an atmosphere where a great secret is hidden, so the Japanese government strictly controls the entry of foreigners as well as locals, but there are exceptions.

When the portal was first discovered, the top guild nets in Japan at the time gathered and tried to capture it, but failed miserably.

Half of the people who participated in the attack died, and three out of four S-rank hunters died.

Afterwards, another attempt was made, but it failed again with huge casualties.

Hunters from all over the world gathered, and there were quite a few victims, but in the end, the attack was successful in a month.

After the attack, it was revealed that it was a fixed type, and the hunters who played a big role in the attack received a share of the portal, and one of those hunters is our vice-principal.

Thanks to that, our school students visit the Black Temple at least once when they go to Japan on a school trip.

“I am the homeroom teacher of Class 3 in the second year, Mr. Choi is the homeroom teacher of Class 4, and Mr. Jeong is the homeroom teacher of Class 7. Mr. Yeon went to third grade.”

“I also applied for the second year… .”

“That’s too bad. Still, I was worried that there would be no people I knew when I went to second grade, but it is fortunate that there are three people who go with me.”

“I worry about everything. Mr. Kang is the most popular guy in our school.”

“What is my popularity… . Everyone, please do well this year as well.”

“Okay, let’s do well this year too.”

“Please take good care of me too, Mr. Kang. But will you be okay?”

“Yes? What?”

“I heard that Mr. Kang is the homeroom teacher for Class 10?”

“A homeroom teacher? I am now in my first year?”

There are no specific rules, but it is customary not to have a homeroom teacher before the second year of becoming a teacher.

“I heard and saw it. Mr. Kang came in last year. I’m so used to it that I forgot I was a newcomer.”

“Yeah. Well, he must have entrusted it to Mr. Kang because he has the ability.”

“What ability do I have… .”

“What’s wrong, Mr. Kang is good at it.”

“I heard from the other side that the Academic Affairs Director and the Vice Principal were talking, and the Vice Principal said they strongly recommended it?”

Are you in touch again… .

Anyway, why did that nobleman have enemies with me in his previous life?

“Why are you so crying? There is nothing special about being a homeroom teacher.”

“That’s right, motherf*cker. It’s really no big deal. I think I just added class management to what I was doing.”

“… Isn’t that class management difficult?”

“It may be a bit difficult at first, but I think you will do well enough with Mr. Kang. If you become a homeroom teacher, you will receive an additional 20 or more allowances.”

I don’t want to do that because I don’t have to accept 20… .

“If you meet the kids well, it won’t be that difficult, so don’t be too scared.”

Sigh… I thought about going and arguing, but since I’m already halfway there, I don’t think they’ll change it… .

Wait, was this the reason why you were so generous with being late?

hahahaha, I hate communion so much.

* * *

After the meeting, I left the office right away.

In the past, I would have gone straight to the swordsmanship training center and had a cup of coffee while preparing for the class, but starting this year, I can’t afford to do that.

Because the homeroom teacher has to check in the morning.

Needless to say, the 2nd grade classroom is on the 4th floor, so even if you subtract the assembly time, you lose at least 15 minutes a day.

I have a lot of shabby work to do during the semester… .

I walked, thinking that I should have just quit, and before I knew it, I arrived at the front of the classroom.

[2-10]

When I open the door and enter, I see students chattering.

“Everyone, stop talking and check, so sit down.”

Seeing that there were no empty seats, it seemed that there were no absences, but each one was called by name.

It’s because it’s easy to memorize names when you call attendance, but it’s only been one day since school started yesterday, but since there are only 20 students in a class, I think I can memorize them all and check them with my eyes from tomorrow.

“Everything is there. Then forwarding. For the magic class, the interior work of the 2nd laboratory was finished last night, so from today we will go to the 2nd laboratory… Ah, later at 5 o’clock after the 8th period, we will elect the class president and class dean. Prepare the people who will support you separately.”

“Yes!”

“great. So, no one to ask? Go teacher.”

“Hey, sir! When do you start applying for clubs?”

“Circles? I haven’t heard anything else… … I think those who joined the club last year can just do the same, and those who want to join can just inquire about the club they want to join.”

“Aren’t you a club guidance teacher?”

“I want to go to the teacher’s club.”

“Me too.”

Oh, I’m more popular than I thought… creeping horns.

It’s probably because it’s rumored that he usually buys a lot of snacks for the kids.

“I won’t.”

I’m still busy taking charge of homeroom, but I don’t have time to do that.

“Boo.”

“The other teachers all do one at a time.”

“yes? So, should I make a gym or something? Running and doing push-ups for 50 minutes, okay?”

“a… Sir, who goes to a club like that?”

“It’s what I usually do every day… .”

So leave me alone

“Sorry. Have a good class everyone and see you later.”

By the time I said goodbye and left the classroom, it was already 8:30.

When we arrived at the swordsmanship training ground, it was 40 minutes.

I have to do some paperwork to avoid working overtime, but if I turn on my laptop and type Korean, it will be class time.

“Teacher Kang, please have a cup of coffee too.”

A teacher with a lot of muscles hands over a can of coffee. It is Jeong Eun-shik, a new teacher from the 3rd school this year.

Although my image has changed 180 degrees, I still have a face-to-face relationship with the hunter teachers, but unlike other hunter teachers, maybe it’s because I’m new, I don’t seem to keep a distance from me.

“thank you.”

“You must be busy because you are even a homeroom teacher. Teachers who teach outside facilities like us usually don’t have homeroom teachers.”

“Because there are people who are impatient because they can’t pamper me. After lunch, I will buy it for you.”

As we drank coffee and chatted, it seemed that class time was over before we knew it because it was noisy outside.

When I came out, I saw first-year students who were still young.

My kids were like this last year too.

“Wow, that teacher is really handsome.”

“Looks like that teacher Kang Shin-hyeok?”

“right. I saw it on TV. You look much better in real life.”

Children, I still know how to see people.

The 2nd grade training area is a little further up, so after walking for about 3 minutes, I see familiar faces.

I’ve been watching you for the past year, so I don’t expect compliments, but… These guys, pretending not to see them, are busy talking among themselves.

Did I just have to continue with the freshman year?

I think I could have been in charge of the first grade if I had said on the way home from the tournament that I would quit if I didn’t ask for it… .

“Are you all here? I’m going to stretch and run right away, so everyone get ready.”

“Sir, there are still three minutes until class.”

“Don’t you know the teacher’s style? When it’s all over, let’s start. Jinsu you add one round.”

“Why only me… .”

“Do you want to run two more laps?”

The 2nd year class is not much different from the 1st year class.

From the 2nd year onwards, we start attacking portals, but practice starts at the end of April.

Come to think of it, I have to follow too… .

Ugh, I really hate it.

I’m going to eat lunch after my morning class, but I feel a vibration in my arms.

I took out my phone and saw that it was Do-hyun’s mother.

What are you doing at this hour?

“Yes, Do-hyun’s mother.”

―Mr. Kang, is it okay to talk on the phone?

“Yes. It’s lunch time, so it’s okay. What is it for?”

―A little while ago, I got a call from school, saying that our Dohyeon hit a friend… .

“Are you Dohyun?”

―Well, they told me to come to school tomorrow, but I tried to ask Dohyeon about what happened, but I couldn’t reach him. I’m really sorry for asking you this every time you need help… Could you please find out a little bit?

Do-hyun’s personality will hit a friend… Oh, could it be that?

“there… Mother, was it Lee Ji-seong, the name of the friend who was hit by Do-hyeon?”
