The fact that Jecheon Daeseong insisted on setting the time for the irregular luncheon meeting based on the school trip was an expression of his intention to intervene in this matter.

However, Jecheon Daeseong had already expressed his intention when he intervened in the meeting with Yoo Sang-hoon, Jang Nam-wook, and Do Si-hu last time.

Even so, it seemed that he had sent this message not simply to urge or give a hint.

Jecheon Daeseong was not an ordinary being, so he seemed to have read his intentions.

‘If things continue like this, he must have noticed that I won’t call Jecheon Daeseong.’

Jecheon Daeseong was needed to prevent the hunting party that would bring a large army on Christmas Eve without causing much damage.

That’s why I stepped forward and actively persuaded him, but in fact, a corner of my heart was holding me back.

Jecheon Daeseong had a younger brother, Mujigi, who had been held captive by the mastermind for a long time and was exhausted.

In addition, the aftermath of the incident caused by the comrades who had gone to Seocheon together intervening in the present world was dealt with by Jecheon Daeseong.

Judging from the extent of the damage to the altars and records of the superior beings who had performed the miracle that day, Jeondan Gongdeokbul, Geumsin Nahan, and Palbu Cheonryong, they must have suffered such great damage that they would have had difficulty controlling their bodies in the divine realm.

‘Jecheon Daeseong used such great power that he could calm the cold and the rampage of the barrier that he could not control even with all his might. He must have performed the miracle with the determination to be destroyed.’

The superior beings of this world are not omnipotent.

For example, the Dragon King God is a powerful being, but he found out about the shaman’s betrayal late, and after that, it was already difficult for him to intervene in the present world. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jesukcheon and Wolgung Hanga, superior beings close to the Tojok, bought time during the attack on April Fool’s Day, but were not able to intervene enough to completely protect them.

The gods of heaven... ... You could tell by looking at what happened to the Hojok.

In the case of the Cheonshin, it is unclear whether it was because they lacked ability or simply because they had no thoughts.

They were vaguely considered virtual beings who could do anything, but after the clash of the other worlds, their limitations were revealed.

That is why the term “higher being” was used more often than “god” when referring to them.

‘Based on the circumstances seen in the replay of Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha, Jecheon Daeseong in Plumago joined hands with the Yongjok. He must have been lured to the TC Research Institute and defeated. But didn’t a higher being intervene at that time?’

Jecheon Daeseong’s comrades probably didn’t know, or they couldn’t save him even if they did intervene.

Jecheon Daeseong’s comrades must have kept watching, but the mastermind must have kept this in mind and made a plan, so even if they intervened with the intention of annihilation, they would have created a situation that could not be overturned.

Anyway, I was reluctant to use Jecheon Daeseong, who was traveling the world as a clone to recover traces of his comrades and even take care of his sick younger brother, as a favor.

Even if I could use a clone, I wouldn’t want to take on other tasks while leaving my younger brother behind when I had exhausted my strength.

So, there seemed to be only one reason Jecheon Daeseong would actively step forward in this situation and one way he had prepared to persuade me.

[Me] I think your younger brother’s condition has improved a lot. Are you going to introduce your younger brother at the irregular luncheon meeting?

[Jecheon Daeseong] As expected, a benefactor is quick-witted!

It was as expected.

Jecheon Daeseong, whom I met in the summer, said that my younger brother would get better around the time the season changed.

It’s early September now, so it’s still the weather that suits summer, so it’s hard to say that the season has changed.

Still, I didn’t think Jecheon Daeseong would lie.

[Jecheon Daeseong] I want to show you my younger brother’s health, so please come. My younger brother wanted to say hello to his benefactor, so he told me to definitely invite you.

I recalled the last time I saw Mujigi.

In Jecheon Daeseong’s arms, with his back to the destroyed huge tank, was a small girl wrapped in his jacket.

Even after being tied down under the river, Mujigi had become so weak that it was hard to recall the great monster that made people afraid.

Thinking about that, it was hard to refuse.

However, the person who identified Mujigi’s location that day was Hojok, the person who found the tank was Yeom Junyeol, the person who treated him was Yoo Sanghee, and the person who caused the most damage to the TC Research Institute was Do Wonwoo.

I wonder if I have enough stakes to be called a benefactor, but I think it would be good to go and talk to him to clear up any misunderstandings.

And I should prepare to make a move.

[Me] How about before the school trip? The sooner the better.

What I meant was that I was suggesting that Jecheon Daeseong be included as a chess piece for this school trip.

[Jecheon Daeseong] Yes, once the schedule is set, I will invite you first.

I think I should clear my schedule for the irregular luncheon.

I should tell the tigers about Jecheon Daeseong, but since the white tiger will probably be reading their minds anyway, I decided to leave it to them.

If you understand, tell them well.

After thinking briefly, I went straight to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.

The weather was clear and cool in early September.

The weather was nice and everyone was excited because it was the beginning of the semester.

It would be better than being engrossed in studying from the beginning of the semester, but it was a shame that many children were wasting their energy on useless things.

It was because the good juniors started doing strange things without knowing who they were tricking.

“Yisin, oppa! I’ve gathered all our lists!”

“You said you needed 50 recommenders? It was hard to choose 50 people.”

When Eun-i-ho and Eun-seo-ho asked me to stop by the first-year section, they handed me something strange.

I went to see what was going on, but I almost dropped the shopping bag containing the chestnut pudding I made with the chestnut jam I bought at MITRON to give to my juniors because I saw something so ridiculous.

The two of them handed me a signature form recommending me as the student body president.

At that moment, Cha Seok-won, who was standing nearby and watching, spoke up.

“That’s why we played rock-paper-scissors yesterday? We need at least 50 people, but it can be more.”

“Really?”

“Great! Then should we go get more autographs from the other kids?”

“I’ll sign first before that.”

Cha Seok-won must have wanted to sign too.

I decided to make my intentions known right away before my juniors wasted their time.

“I have no intention of becoming student body president. I’ll just gratefully accept your feelings.”

Thud, thud.

I could hear something falling or crashing here and there in the hallway of the first-year building.

Most of the kids were watching me as if they were peeking, and they dropped what they were holding or leaned against the wall as if their bodies were exhausted.

I don’t know if it was a joke, but it seemed like everyone had high expectations since so many signatures had already been collected.

I was embarrassed because my ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) juniors seemed to be overly disappointed.

‘Could that be it?’

When electing class presidents or student body presidents, some kids choose the person who seems like they’ll buy snacks if they’re elected.

Isn’t it because I often buy snacks for my juniors?

I concluded and said,

“Even if you don’t become student body president, I’ll buy snacks often.”

But that wasn’t enough to appease my juniors.

Not only Eunseoho and Eunyiho, but even Yoon Yeorang, who had already received a bite of maroon pudding, opened her eyes wide and looked this way.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Oh, I didn’t sign because I wanted to eat snacks.......”

“Me too.......”

“I want to eat snacks.......”

“You shut up.”

At that moment, two familiar laughters could be heard outside the open window.

Some of the juniors looked out the window, startled by the cheerful sound.

They both sounded like the tigers in our class.

Cheong-ho had gone to Taeho-kwon morning training, so the only tigers left were White Tiger and Hwang Ji-ho.

Eun-ho, the tiger’s conscience who had stopped by MITRON by chance in the morning to help them choose the menu and share the shopping bags, said.

“Don’t worry about it. People who have nothing better to do are just coming here to watch and laugh.”

Eun-ho smiled as he closed the window.

When the noise was blocked, his mind calmed down a bit.

“Hyung, Eui-shin, you should try to persuade them with another word.”

“What, Eun-ha signed too!”

“That’s right! Don’t you want to see Eui-shin become the student council president?”

Did Eun-ho sign too?

Even though he doesn’t show it, Eun-ho cherishes Eun-seo-ho and Eun-i-ho very much.

So if those two asked him to sign, Eun-ho wouldn’t have been able to refuse.

I felt sorry for Eun-ho, who must have suffered because he got in the way even though he knew I had no intention of becoming the student council president.

Even in this situation, Eun-ho persuaded the juniors for me.

“I thought a lot when I saw Eui-shin take the time to visit the first-year building despite his busy schedule. If he becomes the student council president, he’ll be even busier, so it’ll be harder to buy snacks and play with us. Eui-shin is worried about that too.”

“Ah!”

When Eun-ho finished speaking, exclamations erupted from here and there as if he had just had a revelation.

But when I listened to Eunho, it seemed like he was recommending the student council president just for the sake of snacks.

I thought about that, but decided to stop pointing that out for now.

“There are many potential students in our grade who could become student council president. When the candidates are finalized, think carefully and cast your vote.”

“Then I’ll pick the person that Eui-shin hyung picks!”

“That’s right, Eui-shin hyung knows and sees the second-year students better!”

The juniors at least expressed their intention to pick the person I supported.

I wondered if this was okay, but Eunho didn’t seem to have any intention of calming down the mood.

“If we unify the candidates instead of dropping out, the kids will be more convinced. We’ll support the person that Eui-shin hyung supports. I and the other kids trust Eui-shin hyung.”

The expression “unifying the candidates” really bothered me.

I did nothing, but now I'm in the race for student council president.

I still don't think there's anything wrong, but anyway, since my juniors are smiling and eating pudding, there doesn't seem to be any immediate problem.

The commotion that occurred in the morning continued after school.

When I arrived in front of the central district club building and was about to head to the newspaper club's office, Hwang Ji-ho, who was walking next to me, grabbed me.

"Jo Ui-shin, you don't need to go to the club. We have somewhere to go. I was going to call the kids in my class, but after talking to them, I found out that we're going to the main event, not the preliminaries. We decided to meet up.”

“I didn’t tell you?”

“Of course I did, since I didn’t mention that I was going to surprise you.”

I’m also in class 0, so I don’t know what they ended up talking about without me knowing.

Hwang Ji-ho didn’t explain properly and instead headed to the club room, he headed to the gymnasium inside the club building.

When the door opened, my eyes were dizzy at the sight that unfolded.

It was common to see people in the school gymnasium, but the problem was that they were doing it.

Everyone there was playing chess.

“This is where we choose the chess representatives for the military academy exchange competition. Since there were many applicants, we decided to hold the preliminary and final rounds separately.”

Last year, the Stalemate Chess Tournament didn’t have this many applicants, which was surprising.

The increase in the chess population was welcome, but the problem was the participants.

There were too many kids from our class who participated in the preliminaries.

There were Sa-wol-se-eum and Cheong-ho, who had taken the time to take a beginner’s chess class, and Guseul-bi and Ong-gil-dong, who had added check patterns to their Aurora uniforms, perhaps because they were in chess competition attire.

That wasn’t all.

‘Why is that one there?’

The white tiger was also shamelessly mixed in.
