Chapter 198: The Society Is Everywhere (4)


    May was known as the family month.


    It epassed Childrens Day, Parents Day, and Teachers Day, providing students with days off and making it a very important and special month.


    -Thank you, Teacher Sofa!


    -Thank you, Buddha! But why did youe on a Sunday this time?


    -Honestly, Parents Day and Teachers Day should be days off too. Agree?


    Is it only a holiday for children? Parents and teachers need rest too!!


    Just say you want to rest!


    Ugh, I wish I didnt have to work but still received my sry regrly!!


    May, therefore, had more days offpared to other months.


    From the academys perspective, ording to traditional educational policies, various events were prepared in May.


    The most representative event in May was, of course, the sports festival.


    What imagees to mind when you think of a sports festival?


    An event where parentse, spread out a mat, andy out chicken and pizza to eat?


    Where childrenpete to see who can run the fastest and stamp their hands with stamps?


    Where a recreational event expert from somewhere showers the blue and white teams with cheer points using a retreat meta?


    While that might be the case in regr schools, the sports festival at Sejong Academy feels quite different.


    -Eh? Sports festival? Isnt that just a ranking battle among ability users?


    -It shouldnt be about dividing into blue and white teams; its just about me winning thepetition, right?


    -Sports festival? What sports festival> Its just the Sejong Premier Martial Arts Competition.


    Indeed.


    -Who holds a sports festival for ability users? Its real when ability users fight and hit each other.


    -Oh, the higher-ups named it a sports festival. What else would you call it if not a sports festival? A ranking battle?


    -Right? Heh, Sejong Ind is a ce of education! You cant just divide students rankings from first tost willy-nilly. Officially, at least. Hehe.


    -But Im going to be the champion of the sports festival.


    -Yeah, you can be the champion of B ss. Im going topete with A ss and enter the A ss power pool~


    Officially, its a sports festival, but in reality, its a ranking battle based on the abilities honed over March and April to determine who is the strongest at Sejong Academy.


    Who was the strongest in C ss.


    Who among B ss could challenge and defeat someone from A ss.


    E sspeted among themselves to rank, and the top of E sspeted with the bottom of D ss, where the winner advanced to D ss.


    In some cases, an E ss could experience rapid growth and be reevaluated as C ss in this importantpetition.


    All students have been eagerly waiting for May, when they can officially raise their overallbat power evaluation.


    -This years sports festival has been postponed.


    -What?


    The sports festival was originally scheduled for May 4th.


    Since Childrens Day on May 5th was a public holiday, most sports festivals took ce on May 4th so that students could give their all the day before and rest on May 5th.


    -Well, it makes sense to postpone it.


    -Youre going to hold a sports festival after Duoexini caused such amotion? The dean will get criticized and fired right away.


    -Its a bit off to have the sports festival right after the Sephiroth Knights or something like Zenros returns on May 3rd, isnt it?


    However, due to the Duoexini incident and the Sephiroth Knights releasing Zenros and the hero agents on May 3rd, the sports festival was postponed.


    May 14th.


    -Thats understandable.


    -We cant not have the sports festival. Ive been preparing sincest winter to prove myself.


    After about a ten-day dy, the Academys students were gearing up for the sports festival as a way to shift the atmosphere of the entire Academy - Sejong Ind.


    To prove their abilities.


    At this point, when strongbat power and a strong will are needed due to the Duoexini incident, one must prove they are the true heroes of this era.


    Im going to be the issue maker of this sports festival!!


    To prove they are the protagonist, everyone is stepping up their research and training of abilities.


    Then, a rumor started circting and began to attract peoples attention.


    -Two S-ss heroes from Japan are staying on Sejong Ind for a month, right?


    Japans S-ss heroes.


    Hayabusa and Nadeshiko.


    -The sports festival period oveps, right? Maybe?


    -Isnt one of theming as a guest? Right? Sitting next to the principal and watching, asking, Who is that person?


    -Youre really drinking a whole bowl of kimchi soup ahead of time.


    With the arrival of two heart-fluttering beauties, many guys hearts were set aze.


    -Even so!


    -If I marry Nadeshiko, Ill live in Japan!


    -They say its good for your body to be with an S-ss, but I cant really find the words to describe it. Hehehe.


    -You cant resist abalones and ms if theyre S-ss. They must be so chewy.


    If things went well.


    An international hero marriage might be possible!


    -But arent rtions with Japan a bit sour right now?


    -Yeah. Its all because Susanoo made a mess, so our rtions are pretty bad now.


    -Ah, about that.


    Just then.


    [I, I mean!! Waaaah!]


    [I finally became a hero! My friend turned out like that, and I couldnt do anything!]


    [How much Ive tried to change the world, Waaaah!!]


    [Im so sorry!!]


    Since the person who caused the ident apologized in a way that made everyone almost burst intoughter, thats all anyone didjustughed it off.


    -It feels petty to be angry over something like this.


    -There were no casualties, and everyone came back safely in the end.


    -Ive seen Susanoo get defeated, so Im not really bothered anymore~


    The incident that could have escted tensions between Korea and Japan was somewhat neatly resolved with the culprit breaking down in tears at a press conference.


    -Ah, forget Susanoo! The only thing that matters is being patriotic with 17-year-old high school girl Hayabusa, and Japans top beauty, Nadeshiko!


    -How can you be patriotic with the Japanese?


    -Then, world peace!!


    Now, the only goal left was to win over the two S-ss beauties.


    -Aaaah! I want to spend a night in Ulleungdo with the S-ss beauties!!


    -Dont say that out loud, you idiot!


    -Could you phrase that differently?


    -Aaaah! I want to contribute to world peace with the two S-ss beauties together!


    -Well done.


    So, the men on Sejong Ind were dedicating themselves to developing their abilities, all for the allure of the kimchi premium.


    -To the meat in the soup, Gazuaaaaa!!


    -What are you talking about, you lunatic?


    Perhaps.


    Desperately hoping to establish a certain rtionship with the S-ss beauties.


    As a result


    Naturally, the students began to hope for such an opportunity.


    -Whats the student council doing?


    Feeling the pressure from everyone, whom the student council should represent.


    -If you dont invite Hayabusa and Nadeshiko as guests to the sports festival, you wont get away with it!


    Apanied by a frenzied threat.<hr>


    Seems like everyones obsessed with those girls.


    Werent you here to borrow a book?


    I came here to hide for a bit today.


    While working as a librarian, I couldnt help but be startled by Yoon Iseon suddenly appearing at the loan desk area.


    Why are you hiding there?


    Theres nowhere else to hide.


    Yoon Iseon was now hiding under my desk.


    No onees here anyway.


    Thats an exaggeration. People stille to borrow books.


    How many in an hour?


    Maybe one or two.


    Thats good enough. Give me a sign when someonees. Ill keep quiet.


    Squeezing into a space between my legs, she hid without making eye contact.


    What about your Taeguk Watch?


    Its in my room.


    Is it okay for a student to walk around without their Taeguk Watch?


    Before Im a student, before Im the student council president, there are times when I want to have my own time too.


    Yoon Iseon grumbled and began to conjure something magical from below.


    Everyone I meet keeps asking whether Hayabusa and Nadeshiko will be special guests at the big sports festival, or the boys say theyll impeach the student council president if we dont invite them. Its annoying.


    Everyone is crossing the line. Ah, someonesing.


    I lightly tapped my foot and adjusted my posture.


    Can you check this out for me?


    All checked out.


    Ah, right. And I have a question.


    The male student with sses nced up and down at me, hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fist and asked me.


    Do you happen to know where to get ones hair done?


    I do it myself at home.


    What product do you use?


    Just a hairdryer.


    Yes. Thank you.


    The male student left with a somewhat saddened face, holding the book. The titles of the books he borrowed were all about health, physique, and body management.


    Theres a saying that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.


    However, thinking about the fundamental reason why that male student borrowed those books makes me feel that his intentions might not be so pure.


    What kind of books did he borrow?


    The Secrets of Body Management. How to Build Muscles. Stuff like that.


    All to look good for Hayabusa and Nadeshiko, right?


    Probably.


    With the arrival of the S-ss, men started paying even more attention to their appearances.


    While they had been managing themselves before, now they were even more focused on self-care, trying to appeal to their masculinity as males.


    If they manage to catch the eye of those two, they might leave this country and go to the neighboring one.


    Wouldnt they be criticized for running off to another country like that?


    If an S-ss from another country wants to marry them and take them away, if they face criticism, it would likely stem from jealousy. Adults would actually be happy about it. Going abroad and spreading our Korean seeds widely.


    Since there are actually people who would genuinely be happy about it, I cant easily dismiss it.


    A Korean C-ss got an S-ss from another country pregnant?


    Nationalistic TV would ster that issue everywhere in no time, turning the whole world upside down.


    Teacher?


    Yes.


    Do, do you have something in your pocket?


    No.


    .


    Yoon Iseon was silent for a moment.


    Teacher.


    After a pause, Yoon Iseon inquired.


    Will the Gobline to this sports festival?


    Looking up at me from under the desk, she posed the question.


    Why do you ask?


    Just.


    Yoon Iseon continued with a veryplicated expression.


    Hayabusa and Nadeshiko said they woulde out to watch the sports festival if the Goblin appeared.
