The whole school buzzed with freshmen stories on the day of the interview.
The interview was set forter this afternoon, but the sessful candidates were almost confirmed.
Everyone was ready to wee their juniors.
Thinking of the iing freshmen that I knew, I considered the reaction natural.
‘My yable characters, Eunho, and the descendants are iing freshmen. It’s natural to be excited.’
I was confident that the people I knew would surely get in.
Still, I paid attention to the kids who seemed nervous while taking the test.
Hwang Jiho noticed me and said some nonsense.
“Are you curious about the result of the entrance exam? I can tell you in advance if you’re curious.”
I don’t know why he’s saying that.
I’m sure the kids I knew would pass.
I ignored him as usual and proceeded with the preparations for the festival.
“Practice well, Jo Euishin. Tell me if things aren’t going well. Yours truly will tutor you and give you advice.”
What the hell is he on about?
My part isn’t that difficult anyway so I won’t have to ask Hwang Jiho for an unnecessary favor.
While we were having lunch and practicing for the festival.
“Yuri, can you contact Seulbi and Luis? Can theye to the festival?”
“Ahaha… I could contact them, but I don’t think they cane easily.”
Kim Yuriughed awkwardly at Kwon Lena’s question.
There’s no way the two attention-seekers would miss a big event like this festival though.
I don’t know about the others, but it was odd to think that the two wouldn’t be able toe.
I wonder what’s going on with them?
When I was getting a little worried…
“Why? Is Gildong— I mean, is Luis okay?”
Min Geurin, the one who got closer to Ong Gildong, asked.
Song Daesok looked emotional for a while after hearing that, but no one paid attention because everyone was busy with their work.
Kim Yuri seemed hesitant to speak for a moment, but she eventually gave in.
“Luis said he met a… He said it’s difficult toe home because he’s in a three-game match against a dark swordsman in ck darkness.”
What is Ong Gildong doing abroad to make Kim Yuri recite such an embarrassing line?
Hani seemed confused about whether she heard the words right, but Dokgo Miro kindly exined that she heard it right.
“What’s that guy doing overseas?”
“ck darkness… it’s redundant. Why does he have to use such modifiers…”
“Since he’s in the middle of a three-game match, I think he’lle back after at least two matches.”
While talking, our ssmates seem to have remembered why the attention-seekers went overseas.
Ong Gildong left a big hintst time.
Hwang Jiho guessed it.
— They must’ve gone looking for our ssmates who aren’t going to school. Two of the three are overseas.
If so, it was highly likely that Ong Gildong was going against our ssmate who hasn’t attended school yet.
Ong Gildong seemed to already feel the aura of ss Zero.
I already feel the unusual energy, but I don’t think it would be bad to let them run loose and not go to school.
Unfortunately, however, my ssmates seemed to think differently.
“But if he wins, does that mean the guy he’s against will go to school?”
“Then that ck darkness… the ck swordsman would go to school. That leaves two more!”
Kwon Lena, who couldn’t bear to say the words, was delighted nheless.
The other kids seemed to be looking forward to having another ssmate, while Song Daesok was nonchnt.
‘Most of the kids are looking forward to it, and Professor Ham Geunhyung would be happy too. The same goes with Yong Jegun…’
In the end, I also decided to cheer for Ong Gildong and Goo Seulbi.
I wanted to support them from the beginning since they’re my yable characters, but this decision was now from the heart.
If the swordsman goes to school, the attention seekers wille too.
Maybe then our ss would really be a ss Zero.
Well, we’re ss Zero from the start but the kids in our ss are nice and calm.
I had mixed feelings, but I spent my lunchtime practicing for the festival.
Saeum of April checked his device and spoke with a bright face.
“Maybe a friend I know will enter Eungwang High as ss Zero next year. He’s here for an interview!”
I was surprised by his words.
Isn’t his contacts constrained to the April n and the people from school?
Perhaps the kid is rted to the Chicken n that Saeum of April is rted to, or maybe the kid is from the April n.
‘I don’t think anyone from the April n will enter school this year though…’
Since his uncle, Semin of April, was the closest to his age, I don’t think there’s anyone in their family younger than Saeum of April by a year.
“A friend? Can I ask what kind of person they are?”
“This is the kid I met on the first day of school! I ran into him while serving as a guide and he recognized me and said hello.”
Saeum of April’s first day in school was April Fool’s Day.
On that day, the Bear n rushed to the school’s vicinity and tried to overthrow the taxi that Eun Seoho was riding.
The driver fainted, and Saeum of April stopped the incident.
“So something like that happened on the first day…”
“That day was the Eungwang High tour, right? Oh, he was alonest time, but he came with her younger sister today. I guess they’re going to enter school together.”
“A sister? Are they twins?”
“No, they’re not twins, but they’re just 10 months apart. Their hair is very simr so I almost mistook them for twins too.”
Saeum of April rambled on, excited about having juniors next year.
He must’ve run into Eun Seoho and Eun Iho yesterday and became close in an instant.
He already exchanged device codes with the two descendants.
I was strangely relieved to hear that.
‘I wanted Saeum of April to be close with the Tiger n. This is good.’
Although it isn’t revealed yet because of some circumstances, it was actually Saeum of April who saved Eun Seoho that day.
I felt sorry that I was the only one being treated like a benefactor.
Hwang Jiho looked at me and pressed his temples.
“You’re thinking of useless things again, Jo Euishin…”
“What? There’s no way Euishin has useless thoughts.”
“…You’re really following Jo Euishin well.”
Saeum of April answered Hwang Jiho without knowing what was going on.
Hwang Jiho’s words were more useless than I thought, so I immediately nodded to respond to Saeum of April.
While Hwang Jiho was dumbfounded, Saeum of April continued to speak in a bright voice.
“He knew that I was in ss Zero! Is it obvious that I am? They said they wanted to get into ss Zero and they’re asking for advice.”
Isn’t it a bad expression to look like someone from ss Zero?
Though Eun Seoho and Eun Iho must’ve known it from Hwang Jiho’s stories.
Since Saeum of April looks like aplete model student, I thought other kids would contest him being part of ss Zero.
“A little bit of ss Zero was publicized during ylist. Maybe that’s how they found out.”
“Our ss is small so people can memorize us quickly I guess.”
After a nice lunch break, the kids who will serve as guides moved back to their designated areas.
Today’s patrol was calm because the test sites were reduced.
I had a break when the interview started, so I decided to buy a drink.
I bought orange juice for myself and handed over Yuri’s cafe mocha.
“Euishin-ah, were you with Cheon Dongha sunbaenim’s brother yesterday?”
Kim Yuri spoke while looking at her device.
It’s a relief that she was checking the bulletin board.
‘It’s about time the rumors started to circte.’
It’s not just my ssmates who are excited about the new students joining Eungwang High.
Among them, the most noticeable iing freshman was Cheon Eunha, Cheon Dongha’s brother.
Aka Eunho.
Top students, student leaders, and sons of chaebol families paid attention to him.
The bulletin board article that Kim Yuri showed was like this;
[Let’s talk about World of Eye’s dongsaeng]
<i>World of Eyes, </i>Cheon Dongha’s alias.
The post is referring to his dongsaeng, Eunho.
It was a short article, but the view count was high.
[I saw <i>Steel Wedge</i> and <i>Nameless Supernova</i> with him. They don’t look alike, but they look like close brothers.]
There was no picture shown, but the response was explosive.
The title seemed to stimte people’s spection more because the content was limited.
Everyone was shouting in thements for more content.
[I got excited but there are only two lines? ;;;]
[What the, tell us more? ?? ]
[Let us in on the good stuff too,e on.]
[I saw him with the former student representative too. O.o He was handsome. Different kind of handsome from Dongha.]
[^ I don’t know what he looks like but I think I know what you’re talking about.]
[I thought Cheon Dongha doesn’t have a brother? What’s this?]
[(Thisment has been deleted.)]
[(Thisment has been deleted.)]
[(Thisment has been deleted.)]
[^ Why are there multiple deletedments here? Did they post a picture?]
[^ Ah… I saw thement before it got deleted. I don’t think I should say it though.]
[^ Hints please ??]
[^ TC… Cheon-ssi… Ehem…]
I stopped scrolling after seeing deletedments.
TC Group with shady rumors, the Cheon Family, Cheon Eunha the illegitimate child.
It was inevitable that those rumors would spread, but this was much faster than I expected.
‘I can’t stop this.’
There’s only a limited amount of work I could do in this case.
I was worried that Eunho would get fingers pointed at him.
Something simr happened when he was Cheon Sungheon, so wouldn’t that hurt his feelings very much?
I used to be an ipetent senior who couldn’t do anything for him back then.
I gave up my bitter heart and answered Kim Yuri.
“I was near the test site during lunch and I ran into him.”
“I see, I hope Cheon Dongha sunbaenim’s brother gets in. Ah, thanks for the coffee.”
Kim Yuri didn’t probe anymore.
While we were quietly drinking our beverages, a message notification came on my device.
I excused myself and checked it.
When I saw the message, the depressive mood disappeared and I suddenly became alert.
[Yonf Jegun] I’m done with patrol so I’m on the way to the Dragon Pce. ^^
