chapter 148
(148)
The body is very heavy.
It’s a portal today and I wanted to take a good rest, but Sejin called me a little while ago asking me to go to the portal.
If he didn’t go, Luciel would even scratch the gourd, so he had no choice but to use warp magic to Sejin’s house.
“Good evening.”
“You look very tired today.”
“I have been busy all day. I will never go to a cafe in the future. No, you have to be a homeroom teacher or not.”
“I was worried, but it seems that the business went well?”
“Don’t talk. how many people there are.”
I laughed while taking pictures all day for the service, and my mouth felt cramps.
While preparing the cafe, I bought 5 days worth of coffee and 3 days worth of bread and waffle ingredients in advance.
However, even after selling all the materials they had bought in advance, they ran out of materials in the middle, so they borrowed them from other classes and even sold out all of them.
“Were there that many?”
“yes. Later, when they said there were no coffee and drinks, there were even people who asked if it was okay to just reserve the goods because they would pay for it.”
Of course, I didn’t feel like doing that, so I apologized and sent it back.
I didn’t have any materials to sell tomorrow, so I had to take the kids out in the evening to buy materials again and talk about the production of additional goods.
Not only that, but I had to go to the martial arts competition in the middle as a reinforcement.
It was probably the busiest day at school.
Still, starting tomorrow, I decided to sell only a certain amount and close the door early, so it will be a little better.
“there… Teacher, then you can’t get the goods even if you go on the weekend?”
“Not really. He said that things like mugs and towels would be sent by courier tomorrow morning.”
“How about that pillow and photo book?”
“It’s a bit difficult to make again, so I can’t give it out on the day.”
Sejin, why does he look so disappointed?
“Still, I decided to pick two people every day and send them later.”
“That’s fortunate. there… Sir, could I purchase it separately?”
Now that I see it, did Sejin and this guy also aim for goods?
“There is nothing impossible, but it will take some time.”
Originally, I was going to ask him to buy some if it didn’t sell, but he didn’t tell me because it sold well.
“I’ll be there from 8 o’clock on Saturday, but if you can’t buy it, ask me.”
“That… yes.”
* * *
“You waited a long time. Then, let’s start the long-awaited 2024 Martial Competition finals!”
It’s not as much as last year, but there are a lot of people filming at the broadcasting station.
“I’ll be back.”
“Seo Eunseo, you can do it! You did well. Do you know that the teacher always believes in you? Fighting!”
After encouraging me, Eunseo bowed her head to me and went up to the arena first.
“Sir, please support me too.”
“uh? yes. Silver water. I look forward to a great match.”
“It’s too much.”
“What is too much?”
“Eunseo and I have different cheering tones. Just cheer for Eunseo, saying she’s in her class. Boo.”
“No way. Hurry up and go up.”
Actually, my one pick was the essence of working hard even during the festival.
However, he met Eun-soo in the semifinals and unfortunately lost, so the final was a match between Eun-seo and Eun-soo sisters.
The festival is over now.
“Who do you think will win Mr. Kang?”
Teacher Park asks from the side.
“well. Because they both have the same skills. Wouldn’t the more desperate one win?”
Of the two, as Eunsoo said, it is true that Eunseo is more attracted to her, but Eunsoo is only half different.
“No matter who wins, both of them are in the swordsman class, so they’ll go to WHCU this year too.”
“I guess so.”
“This year is America, right? I wish. I travel abroad every year.”
“a… Mr. Park, what are you talking about? It’s not like Mr. Kang is going to play, and there must be a lot to be concerned about. That’s right, I have to make up for it during vacation.”
Mr. Jung, who was next to him, reprimands Mr. Park.
Come to think of it, I need to reinforce it again during vacation… .
“Well, that’s right.”
“Mr. Kang, can we make patriotic bets again this year?”
“A patriotic bet?”
“You know why? You’re talking about WH Toto.”
“well. The winner hasn’t been decided yet, and the other opponents haven’t been analyzed, so I don’t know yet.”
I really don’t know.
Even if either Eunsoo or Eunseo advances, it’s not at the level of guaranteeing victory.
If Sejin hadn’t learned martial arts last year, he would have lost to Bianca, but it is true that their skills are somewhat less than Sejin’s, even excluding martial arts.
Of course, if you teach martial arts like Sejin, winning won won’t be difficult, but is it really necessary?
It was because I made a bet with Kim Dae-chan that I taught martial arts to Se-jin.
I might be able to make a lot of money with WH Toto again this time, but honestly, I don’t think I’m short of money right now, so it’s ambiguous.
I think I need to think a little more about this part and watch the Dalian, but it seems like a game will come soon.
At first glance, it looks like Baek Joong-se or Eun-seo’s slight advantage, but as long as Eun-seo is not slightly, it is 20 times more advantageous.
Eunsoo, that guy is still not doing his best even though he said he wouldn’t let me go to the tournament.
On the other hand, Eunseo is doing her best as always.
As expected, not long after, Eunseo blew away Eunsoo’s sword with her sword, confirming the championship.
In the first place, there is not a big difference in skill, but if the mindset is different, even if you don’t see the result, it’s a video.
After watching the awards ceremony and the interview, I returned to the classroom.
It’s not as good as the first day, but the lines are still long and the classrooms are full.
“Teacher, how did the finals go?”
“However, our Eunseo won.”
“Wow!”
“oh my god!”
“As expected, our vice-captain!”
All the children who couldn’t go to the cafe because they were too busy are happy as if it were their own work.
“Then, isn’t our class the best class confirmed?”
“Oh yea! A ski resort for winter vacation!”
If you win the battle competition, a whopping 30 additional points are given to the class with the winner.
Sales are, of course, number one.
“It’s not certain yet, so shouldn’t we be too vigilant?”
I got 60 points, so it’s right that I’m ahead, but there’s still a lot left until vacation, practice, and final exams.
As on other days, I am busy taking pictures of the customers who visit the cafe, signing autographs, and doing fan service.
“Sir, shouldn’t we go now?”
Checking the time, it’s already 5:00.
“That’s right. I will be back.” It is open until 6:00, but after leaving the classroom and stopping by the dormitory for a short time, I moved to the auditorium.
This is because on the last day of the festival, they have to rehearse for the after-party performance.
The vice-principal said he would remove it if he wanted, but in the end I decided to do it.
I already know that all the other teachers are doing it, but if I change it belatedly, gossip may come out… No, it comes out 100%.
Anyway, I can’t say I’m not responsible for Mr. Kim leaving school, so it’s not that I don’t understand the position of the vice principal at all.
Well, I was promised that I wouldn’t retaliate like this in the future, so that was fine.
It’s still awkward with sympathy.
It’s not that we don’t talk at all, but we don’t talk about things other than work.
To be honest, I didn’t think much of it, but the sympathy said that I would not accompany the WHCU competition this time, as if I was very uncomfortable.
When I came to the auditorium, there were quite a lot of people.
“uh? Mr. Kang, you are here early.”
This is Teacher Min, who is in charge of the performance at the Huya Festival.
“I heard that the rehearsal for the later festival starts at 5 o’clock… .”
“Mr. Kang’s order is later, so you can come slowly.”
“it’s okay. I will watch and wait.”
There are a lot of students wearing fancy costumes, probably a dance performance team, and I see teachers like me who came to perform.
There are three representatives of the first year, including Mr. Jung, who is in charge of swordsmanship in the first year.
They are all new recruits this year, so they probably came out because they had a chance like me, but their faces are full of confidence.
The first year teachers prepared an idol cover dance.
I’ve seen them practice with reinforcements a few times, and everyone danced quite well.
The 3rd grade representative is a magic show.
When I saw them practicing, they made birds with fire, rabbits with water, exploded in the air, and spread like fireworks.
Visually, it’s quite flashy, but from the Hunter’s point of view, it’s not that amazing.
“I guess the singers are still there?”
Usually, singers do not come to college festivals or high school festivals, but Hunter School is different.
Because it is sponsored by the country’s leading conglomerates, it has a lot of money that is incomparable to most universities.
I heard that a pretty popular girl group and boy group came last year as well.
Of course, I couldn’t watch it because I was managing access at the school’s main gate.
“Does Mr. Kang like singers too?”
“No, what… I don’t have a particular favorite singer, but… .”
“Singers don’t rehearse. you’re a pro They are also people for whom time is money. They come and sing only the contracted songs.”
“I guess so.”
I thought I would be able to take a closer look at the rehearsal, but it’s a bit disappointing.
“Was Mr. Kang a song?”
“Ah yes.”
“You can listen to the legendary song that was rumored to be heard by the children.”
“Who said that? what a legend… .”
“All the kids say that. During last year’s retreat, you destroyed the 2nd school with your own song without accompaniment.”
“What is smashing… .”
“Be humble. I hear you do it live without even playing the accompaniment. I’m looking forward.”
“It’s because I don’t have time to record separately, so don’t pressure me too much.”
Even if I say this, I actually practiced very hard.
I don’t want to be humiliated even though I’m forcing myself to do it.
After sitting down to tune my guitar and watch the other teams perform, it was my turn before I knew it.
I sang lightly and adjusted the settings, but Min approached me.
“I think we should do the same setting as we did last time… .”
“Settings are not the problem… Mr. Kang, I was really surprised. I think I know why the kids called him a legend.”
I practiced a lot, so I sang lightly and focused only on the setting, but I feel a bit embarrassed.
“You are over-appreciating.”
“Oh, you are too humble. You just wrote that song, right? The song you sang last time?”
“Nope. It’s a different song.”
Muzz’s song is good, but this time I prepared a different song.
“I want to hear another song, but do you have any plans to do two songs?”
“Yes? no, that’s kinda… . In fact, it’s not even what I wanted. Since it is a festival performance in the first place, shouldn’t students be interested in it?”
There is no big difference between one or two songs, but the teachers are involved in matching the assortment.
I think the main characters of the Huyaje should be students.
“Hey, where is that? Teachers are also members of the school. It’s not a Hunter school student festival, it’s a school festival.”
After hearing it, it’s not like there’s no point at all… .
“Everyone was looking at me in awe, but I think there will be a lot of encores?”
“hahahaha… . So time is too… .”
“It takes a few minutes to do one more song. There is no sound source file anyway, so there is no need to prepare separately. Then I think we can do two songs.”
“no… .”
“Mr. Min, let’s start the next rehearsal.”
“uh? wait for a sec. Personally, I think three songs would be fine.”
I was going to say it was hard, but I just said what I had to say and left.
I don’t think my song will be very popular when real singers come… .
What, does it matter?
In the first place, whether or not to do more encores is necessary.
While watching the rehearsal of other students, the students who helped with the proceedings said that there was a waiting room behind the stage installed in the playground for those who had finished the rehearsal, so they left the auditorium.
When you arrive at the stage installed in the playground, you can see several tents behind it.
Is that the waiting room?
I tried to go in because there was an A4 paper attached to the waiting room, but it was too noisy inside.
I entered the tent in the corner to see if there would be a quiet place.
There’s no one there and it’s perfect, so I’m trying to look at my phone, but it’s so noisy outside.
“Sia unnie, you are so cool!”
“Eunryu unnie, you are so pretty!”
There must have been singers who were said to be performing.
I am about to go out to take a look, but the tent is pulled down and women pour in along with some men.
Looking at the colorful outfits, it looks like a group performing today.
“Brother, are there people inside?”
“What are you? I thought this was a waiting room for our kids.”
“is that so? I came in not knowing… .”
“You don’t know what, you malicious sasaeng!”
I don’t listen properly and my hand comes to me first.
