Red Tiger and Shinrok couldn’t hide their shock at what Hwang Jiho said.
“Yellow Tiger nim, you’re thinking of going overseas?”
“Yellow Tiger… You’re not kidding are you?”
“No? It’s been a long time since I breathed in fresh air from abroad.”
“You’ve been busier these days… I see this is what you’ve been preparing for all this time.”
“Hahaha! You’re right.”
Jiho looked at me before exining further.
“Jo Euishin. I know you know this, but the order I received from the heavens is ‘the one that can exist anywhere’, which is, the power to use an alter ego.”
“Right.”
“Thend that reaches the heavens’ order is only here on the Korean Penins, so it’s the only ce where my alter ego can exist.”
I remember looking at Jiho’s status window.
[Exnation]
Yellow Tiger who appears in the Myth of Gaecheon
Received ‘the one that can exist anywhere’ order from the heavens
He can exist wherever he wishes, as long as it is on the ground where the heaven’s order touches
He volunteered to protect the body where the White Tiger was locked up, to which the heavens permitted
(Failed to load.)
Although he can’t use it now because of the heavens’ wrath, I heard that White Tiger’s power to go anywhere is not confined to the Korean Penins.
The Yellow Tiger’s skill of alter ego is very powerful and fraudulent, that’s why there’s such a restriction ced on it.
“You’re thinking of going abroad with your alter ego?”
“Yes. It’s been a very long time since I went overseas.”
Hwang Jiho looked excited.
The old guy who lived for more than 5 thousand years must be thinking of going on a trip meant for high school students.
‘He’s been doing such a great jobtely, so he should catch his breath for a bit.’
His subordinates became speechless at the thought of Hwang Jiho running around in his alter ego.
So Jiho spoke to Olmu instead.
“Olmu, what kind of presents do you want?”
Keeuung?…. Woof!
After that, Jiho prepared to go overseas while thinking about what gifts he should give Olmu and the other descendants, as well as the other kids in our ss.

A few dayster, the newspapers’ overseas coverage schedule began.
On the first day, to use the amodation ticket obtained by the 2nd Year ss Zero students for the energy tag match, the newspaper department decided to gather in advance in preparation for the coverage trip.
Amodation tickets were for Icarus Seoul, a leading hotelpany in Korea.
The hotel was named after the son of Daedalus, the creature with white wings. As such, the VIP floors from the 50th floor have an exterior structure in the shape of a wing.
The wings extended in four directions, east, west, south, and north wings respectively. All suites were concentrated on these four wings.
The ce where we were supposed to stay in was one of the four wings.
“On behalf of the freshmen who entered Eungwang High this year, Moon Saeron will be speaking!”
East Wing, the especially premium lounge on the top floor.
It is the peak summer season where we were supposed to be on vacation, but the newspaper members who rented the top floor suite in exchange for winning the tag match all listened to Moon Saeron’s toast.
All the members held old fashioned sses with round ice balls and carbonated drinks. Looks like everyone was excited.
“Cheers to our adviser who will join us tomorrow, professor Jegal, who is also the biggest contributor to the previous camp. And also to Hwang Jiho!”
“Cheers!”
The clear sound of old fashioned sses clinking here and there was heard.
“Hahaha! Jo Euishin, raise your ss!”
Hwang Jiho, who was mentioned in Moon Saeron’s toast, was sitting right next to me. He lifted his ss with a leisurely smile.
I asked him something as we clinked our sses.
“Hey.”
“What is it?”
“Will you really be ok when you go?”
I think he’s already decided on it, but I still asked.
The head of the Tiger n leaving the Korean Penins.
Although his alter ego will remain here, wouldn’t it be too harsh on his body to be abroad?
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about Yuri. I left the chief sorcerer in charge of her.”
“Chief sorcerer?”
“Yes, he will keep the boundary in ce until Kim Yuri can control her energy pressure.”
Of course, I’m worried about Yuri too, but that wasn’t my top concern.
He put the chief sorcerer in charge of Kim Yuri?
As I observed before, I guess Jiho doesn’t intend on keeping on hiding who he was.
Kim Yuri, who’s also one of my yable characters, won’t make it too difficult for the Tiger n.
“Also, Yuri said that she wanted to learn how to deal with her light skill. Borrowing the power of a higher being, because that jerk is more expert than I am.”
As expected, our ss president and my yable character had a different perspectives.
I’m sure she’s had a hard time, yet she’s shown much improvement even though her body and mind are exhausted from the first explosion of her light skill.
As the vice president, I’m all set in supporting Yuri well in the future.
It was time to down the carbonated drink with much pride.
“Now, attention! I know it’s a bit sudden, but I will be announcing a slight change in our schedule.”
“Eh? Right now?”
When the deputy director of the newspaper club said so, the other members buzzed around.
The deputy director showed a hologram. It was of the director coughing several times before speaking in a solemn voice.
“Although I’m sure everyone is aware already, the newspaper coverage trip is being targeted by Eungwang High’s most dangerous group.” Read this novel and other amazing tranted novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot” website @ novelmultiverse
Eungwang High’s most dangerous group.
When I heard the director say so, I became alert of the faces of the newspaper club members.
‘They’re talking about GeumChanWangChan of Year 2 ss Zero!’
There’s also a ‘dangerous group’ in Year 3 ss Zero, but they don’t have any reason to target our team here on Im Yeonhwa’s boot camp because it’s being conducted during vacation.
Therefore, the dangerous group being referred to by our director is none other than Jegal’s Year 2 ss Zero students.
“We will not change the duration of our stay abroad. However, I’m informing everyone now that the course we will go through ispletely different from what I previously announced.”
“Yep! I’m sorry for not letting you guys know. But when else would we get the opportunity to have Professor Jegal all to our own!”
Looks like the deputy director and the director has a n in mind.
The club members, though flustered by the news, began to praise the director’s n.
“As expected of our directors!”
“I want to go shopping for souvenirs with Professor Jegal… Geum Chansol interfered with usst year so I couldn’t buy stuff in the end.”
Amid the cheers of the members, the director began to exin our trip’s itinerary.
The director, who was showing a map while exining, pointed to the Japanese archipgo.
“Ah, for everyone’s information, we won’t be able to go to Japan again. Their borders are about to close again.”
“Gosh, again?”
“Yeah, you know Saeron’s daad is a reporter, right? They contacted me after knowing our ns for this trip. He’s in Japan right now, and the situation over there might have been unusual.”
The flow of history from this world is quite simr to the real world, but there are of course a few differences.
Especially with the history after the world collision.
The timing of major historical events and their development is slightly different from the real world.
“I’ve looked up information from new sites in Japan, but nothing particr stands out.”
“It seems like media is still strictly under control there.”
“Maybe they learned a lesson from the events of previous world transitions.”
There was an event of world transition shortly after the Republic of Korea established its sovereignty.
Japan’s media and government then made up ridiculous stories, such as Korea was being punished by heaven for not epting the Japanese rule. However, Japan eventually experienced a world transition too in their archipgo.
They consistently tried to hide that fact and treated the people who imed to fight against enemies as psychotic and made them the subject of collective harassment.
Therefore, the efforts for yers’ training and government countermeasures camete for them, and no defensive measures were deployed for areas that suffered enemy attacks from world transition.
There became a conflict between the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Korean Penins. The Japanese government imed that the outbreak was South Korea’s conspiracy and responsibility.
“Ah, perhaps there’s a world transition again in Chiyoda City?”
“Yeah, it seems like it.”
“Really? Again? Isn’t it better to give up Chiyoda now? I think it’s better to just empty the city and have yers reside in the area.”
“They can’t do that because the Imperial Pce is there. If the building waspletely destroyed, they wouldn’t hesitate to abandon the area. I guess they can’t just give it up because the thing is still standing.”
One of the 23 special districts in Tokyo, Chiyoda.
Important symbols for Japan reside in Chiyoda, such as the Imperial Pce, the Prime Minister of the Cab, the National Assembly Shrine, and the Supreme Court. Administration, legiture, and judiciary were all gathered in there.
As if to y a cruel joke on Japan who didn’t believe in the existence of the world collision, numerous bureaucrats including Ministers of State Affairs died from a world transition in Chiyoda.
Among those who died were foreign ministers, so the head of the government demandedpensation from Korea.
Out of the 15 ministers of state affairs, only three survived.
Japan’s situation improved ever since the youngest of the three, the Minister of Culture, Sports, and Science took the responsibility of being the prime minister. From then, as prime minister, he acknowledge the existence of world transitions and started negotiating with the general headquarters of the yers Association.
However, less than a decadeter, he was removed from office.
Since then, Japan’s protocol for world transitions has been motivatedrgely by politics.
It has been their routine to block borders and control the media when they see fit.
“…I wonder if the Korea-China-Japan yer exchange match will proceed smoothly.”
“These days, there’s a notable yer from Japan. A girl who entered an all-girls school this year, and she’s rumored to be from the Flower n. The world’s best genius who defeated Korea and China! I think that’s the way they described her.”
“Ah, I think I’ve seen that on TV a few times.”
“Looking at her experience, I think she’ll be pushed back by Dain.”
Since then, our members spent their time checking our changed schedule and gossiping about the notable yers in the Korea-China-Japan yer exchange match.
We enjoyed our dinner at a specially-dedicated restaurant for the East Wing suite.
‘Hmm?’
While walking back to the lounge after having after-dinner tea, I saw a strange shadow outside the window.
I think the shadow was of a person hanging upside down.
“Suspicious Vice President, what’s the matter?”
“I think I saw something outside.”
“There’s nothing in there though?”
Moon Saeron tilted her head.
Considering the altitude outside the hotel, it sure feels like we’re more than 20 stories from above the ground.
It would surely be weird if someone was just outside our window.
‘If I tell her what I saw, she’d be scared for no reason.’
It bothered me a little, but I just passed it off by saying ‘maybe it’s just birds.’
In the central lounge, we saw Hwang Jiho settle down andugh loudly.
After the enjoyable tea time as we took in the night view…
“Alright then, see you guys tomorrow! If anythinges up, contact me or the vice president.”
“Us second years are going to stay up all night and we’ll y around until morning! If you can’t sleep,e over to my room!”
“Oh, can I go too?”
“Of course! But then, once youe in, you’re not allowed to get out!”
“If you guys just want to chat,e to our room instead of theirs.”
“We’re not just gonna chat around, but a horror-radio-story concept will be our event all night long. We’ll talk about Eungwang ghost stories.”
The members began to flock to the point where they wondered if we needed to rent more rooms.
“Jo Euishin, what do you n on doing?”
“I think Moon Saeron’s just going to tell funny stories instead of scary ones all night long. I’m thinking of going there, or just going to sleep.”
It was my roommate, Hwang Jiho who asked me.
Jiho designated me as his roommate during room assignments.
All the rooms had ample space because we rented out the whole floor. However, the Presidential suite where Jiho was assigned to was even more spacious. It had two bedrooms with its own personal bathroom, a separate conference room, and a dining room.
“Hmm, so we don’t have the share the room for tonight?”
After much consideration, Jiho suggested instead for the presidential suite to be used by the kids. The members of the club soon gathered in the room.
In one corner of the conference room, students yed games loudly, while on the other side, some students took turns in telling scary ghost stories. Eventually, the director and deputy director fell asleep on the sofa.
Most of the newspaper club members were asleep when breakfast time came.
Dingdong.
[Yeom Junyeol] Hello, teacher.
It was Yeom Junyeol’s message that woke me up in the morning.
It seems like he wants to inform me of the weather today as usual.
I’ll be leaving soon, so Korea’s weather information wouldn’t really help me much.
However, Junyeol’s message was different from what I expected.
[Yeom Junyeol] I’ve been thinking about something sincest night.
