The school trip was a total of 3 nights and 4 days.

There were no major incidents for the first two days.

Although the schedule was disrupted by Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang, the students had a peaceful time.

It was hard to know what each person was thinking, but from an observer’s perspective, it was clear that everyone was enjoying the school trip.

‘Limiting it to the school trip, we haven’t gotten anything more than what we could find through the game so far.’

Since Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang were included in the accompanying teachers, the students didn’t let their guard down.

However, surprisingly, the school trip went smoothly without any problems, and everyone gradually became relieved.

The problem started on the third day.

They waited for the students to relax and use up their energy from playing, so they didn’t cause any incidents from the beginning.

“Shouldn’t we let the Dragon Clan’s benefactor sleep for a while? It’s been a while since the day changed.”

“If you don’t tell the benefactor of the clan about the dragon clan, Jo Ui-shin will be able to relax a little and relieve his burden.”

“Our Ui-shin, the benefactor of the dragon clan, didn’t even sleep a wink every time he replayed. Unlike me, the clan just watched him all the time.”

The dragons and tigers who had been quiet for a while started again.

Even though Yong Je-geon had been picking a fight like that, most of the targets he had replayed before died early, so they ended quickly, so there was no time to rest or anything.

It took some time, starting with Yong Je-geon, who had survived for about a year.

“The fact that the benefactor of the clan had such a precious ability was a secret only to the clan, so you guys didn’t even have a chance to stop him.”

“Mr. Hwang Ho, you admit that you knew but didn’t stop him.”

“Be quiet. Don’t disturb Ui-shin’s concentration.”

Among the noisy parents who were talking excitedly, Kim Shin-rok was the only one who was normal.

As the replay drew to a close, quite some time passed, but the old Jin tribesmen were doing and saying the same things.

It must have been frustrating, because Kim Shin-rok nagged me and the other seniors, saying that I had forgotten that we were students, and that I should be aware of myself as a teacher.

Yong Je-geon, who was listening to that while giggling, retorted.

“Of course, I know that Eui-shin is doing hard work. So I relieved the worries of our classmates who think of Eui-shin as a burden.”

“What are you talking about?”

When the story of the classmates came up, Teacher Ham Geun-hyung, who had been watching Cheon Dong-ha and Ma Jin-seung with a serious face, turned his head.

His face was so fierce that someone who didn’t know him well would have been surprised and run away.

“Our Yong tribe’s benefactor, Eui-shin, is currently concentrating on the replay, so it’s hard to contact him. That’s why when we were handing out Jeju Island souvenirs, I told him to tell me if he had anything to say for the time being.”

“Recently, the kids in my class have sent me many messages asking about the whereabouts of the Hojok’s benefactor. I guess it was all because of you.”

“Good job, Yongjegeon. It would be good for the kids who are my classmates to know that the relationship between our Yongjok and our benefactor is strong.”

“No matter how much you guys fly and crawl, those kids are my classmates, so they are much closer to Hojok emotionally.”

I felt warm when I saw Yongjegeon collecting presents for the kids in Jeju Island, but I guess he was just doing it for this moment.

Teacher Ham Geun-hyung stood up from his seat, his face becoming even more sinister as he thought.

“I should contact him too. If the kids think that Yongjegeon and Jo Ui-shin are acting alone, they will be anxious.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Mr. Hwang Ho must have bragged that he was acting together. Even if they do, they will probably think that Ui-shin, me, and Mr. Hwang Ho are doing something.”

“......I’ll check the device for a moment.”

Teacher Ham Geun-hyung manipulated the device messenger, as if he had decided to contact the children in the class.

Unlike the leisurely old parents, Teacher Ham Geun-hyung and Yeom Bang-yeol °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° acted sensibly.

Yeom Bang-yeol occasionally left his seat to receive calls from the device, but he always returned within 3 minutes, and Teacher Ham Geun-hyung continued to stay by the side of the seniors of the leadership team as their guardian.

However, if I had to pick the person who was thinking the hardest among the people present, it would be Cheon Dong-ha.

Cheon Dong-ha currently had the most information out of the three, and he was watching the situation closely, so my eyes went to him.

‘As expected, Cheon Dong-ha. I had been feeling uneasy for a long time.’

Cheon Dong-ha was the first to notice something was going to happen in Jeju Island during the school trip.

Since he had noticed it early, he must have felt a heavy sense of guilt and burden when the incident broke out.

Instead of looking at the messy chairman’s office or closing my eyes, I looked at the faces of the three people.

The replay was still in progress, so my eyes were spinning, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the peacefully sleeping faces of the three.

My head was even more complicated now, mixed with the situation in the replay.

‘Huh?’

At that moment, my vision was blocked without a sound.

Before I could detect any movement, my vision suddenly went dark.

I realized too late that the white tiger had flown at super speed and covered my eyes.

It was the result of the ignorant and incompetent leader showing off his talent and strength.

“Focus on one side.”

No matter how absent-minded I was, I was upset that I realized too late that the white tiger had done something like that.

I tried to move my hand away or get out of the range of the hand.

However, the white tiger moved its hand in accordance with my movements, annoyingly.

My vision was still blocked, but somehow the surroundings became quiet and the old Jin tribe who had been talking about my whereabouts didn’t stop me.

“Don’t disturb me.”

“I didn’t disturb you.”

Actually, I didn’t really bother you.

There was something else I had to do now.

My family and teacher were enough to watch those three sleeping.

What I had to see was something else.

“You know a lot.”

When I closed my eyes to concentrate, the white tiger finally let go.

At that moment, the third-year seniors in the replay were starting their third day of the school trip.

More than half of the school trip to Jeju Island had passed.

In the meantime, no major problems occurred.

The teachers were keeping their eyes open to prevent anyone from touching the students throughout the entire trip.

In addition to Cheon Dong-ha, all the autonomous organization executives, including Yeom Jun-yeol, were focused on making the school trip a success, but the teachers were enjoying the trip leisurely.

‘They’re a bit lazy, but there’s no problem. Why are they leading the students and doing their work like ordinary teachers?’

Cheon Dong-ha expected that when Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang went to the dormitory, they would search the students’ luggage under the pretext of a surprise inspection, find fault with them, and abuse them, or if they didn’t touch the students, they would sneak out to a nightclub and have a drink at night, and do other ugly things.

However, Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang were so docile that some teachers found it strange.

Some students were relieved by this, but there were a few students who were even more wary, like Cheon Dong-ha.

The opponents’ trick was to deliberately place problematic teachers to distract the good players.

‘They’re acting as if they won’t leave anything to be caught later. Even before and after Christmas, those teachers were like that.’

It was a well-known fact that Choi Pyeon-deuk performed administrative work so amazingly that it was difficult to catch him.

When the Christmas incident broke out and students were dying, public opinion was rife about what the teachers were doing, but those gang members avoided all criticism.

The main figures of Choi Pyeon-deuk’s gang were away from school for legitimate reasons such as business trips and sick leave.

Even though Seong Guk-eon thoroughly investigated, nothing on paper could be found that could catch them before and after Christmas.

‘Rather, the students are the ones who are the problem.’

Cheon Dong-ha looked at Ma Jin-seung, who was lying down with sunken eyes.

Ma Jin-seung got in trouble for picking a fight with Yeom Jun-yeol again at the travel destination.

Ma Jin-seung, who had no idea what he was thinking, suggested a horseback riding competition at a complex cultural facility themed around horses.

Yeom Jun-yeol, who didn’t want to deal with Ma Jin-seung on such a nice day, ignored him and tried to provoke him with the word “So Hong-ryong,” but was dragged into a horse-drawn carriage by Kwak Kyung-gu’s hands.

‘If I had been a little later, Jun-yeol or a member of the Red Lion team would have stepped forward.’

Kwak Kyung-gu, who had a portable fan hanging around his neck, preached.

“Don’t provoke Jun-yeol. It’s already hot, and he’s getting hot.”

“The night wind is cold, so can we fight at night?”

“Better do that.”

“Kyung-gu, whatever. If you cause an accident, you might be denied entry to the next scheduled location. Have you forgotten how hard it was to adjust the schedule?”

Since Kwak Kyung-gu was no help, Cheon Dong-ha ended up preaching.

‘Come to think of it, it was hard to plan the course even though we aimed for the off-season.’

It’s common for school trips to avoid peak season for reasons such as safety and convenience.

However, since there were quite a few group travelers besides the Eun-gwang High School students, it was difficult to plan a course due to overlapping reservations and other reasons.

In addition, since Choi Pyeon-deuk’s gang’s tricks overlapped, there were courses that students avoided.

One of them was trekking on Mt. Halla.

“We can see the mountain as much as we want at school, but why do we have to come all the way here to climb it?”

“These days, the trees and grass on Mt. Cheonik have all died, so it honestly doesn’t feel like a mountain.”

Students who got off the chartered bus for transportation looked up at Mt. Halla and grumbled.

Even if the Eun-gwang High School students had good stamina, unless hiking was their hobby, they wouldn’t like to come and climb a mountain.

Still, there was one advantage to climbing a mountain.

About an hour after we started climbing, most of the teachers who guided us were exhausted and left.

“Hey, they’re gone.”

“Oh, it feels good just not to see those disgusting faces.”

As they climbed the mountain, the accompanying teachers dropped off one by one.

Ordinary Eun-gwang teachers would not get tired at this level, but since Choi Pyeon-deuk focused on connections, background, and flattery ability rather than skills, it was natural that the group was not good at climbing the mountain.

Of course, a small number of ordinary teachers accompanied the students without saying a word, and there were also bodyguards moving around without being noticed by the students.

By the time lunch time approached, Choi Pyeon-deuk's group was completely wiped out, and their ugly faces were gone.

The students, who had lost their appetite due to exhaustion and exhausted physical strength, begged for food.

“I reserved a lunch box at the rest stop, so don’t slow down and walk.”

“Can I use my powers to go faster?”

“No. There are also ordinary tourists.”

When Cheon Dong-ha coldly refused, the students grumbled and followed suit.

It was when the sun had reached its zenith in the sky.

The sky suddenly became darker and darker.

“The weather forecast didn’t say it would be this cloudy.”

“It must be passing clouds.”

“It’s less hot because there’s less sunlight.”

The students seemed to welcome the clouds.

However, they didn’t feel cool because it was humid.

Cheon Dong-ha felt a strange sense of discomfort as he looked at the clouds covering the sky.

‘We should secure a raincoat just in case. ‘Should we check the inventory at the next rest stop to see how much raincoats they are selling?’

Cheon Dong-ha tried to check the inventory status of the rest stop by manipulating the device, but the connection was not good.

On the device’s hologram screen, only the words ‘Connecting’ appeared, and it was not connected to the tourist app provided by Jeju Island.

It seemed that the connection status was not good because it was in the mountains.

‘It’s a shame to waste the Ineungpa, but it’s better than having problems later. If it doesn’t work out after checking the situation, let’s get off the mountain now.’

Instead of using the device, Cheon Dong-ha wanted to check the inventory of the rest stop, the weather conditions, and the maintenance status of the remaining trail through Gwanglim.

It was when Cheon Dong-ha used Gwanglim to survey the entire Hallasan Mountain.

In one corner of the mountain, the remains of the Ineungpa with a unique color and energy were visible.

Cheon Dong-ha felt a strong sense of foreboding.

‘I think I saw it in the clues that Soo-hyuk showed me.’

The power that Cheon Dong-ha had just caught his eye was very similar to the power that Jin-jok had used to drive Seong-guk-eon to death.

In the meantime, the sky had become even darker.
