Chapter 50: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction!(50) / 774 |
TL: Hanguk
PR: MiniPixelZ
Black Tower 99th Floor.
“Red Grandpa, play with Mulmul!”
Thanks to Pobi’s efforts, Mulmul, who had peacefully taken a nap, approached Ramter along with Sotteok, Huljeok, Tongtong, and Pangpang. It was because Ramter’s fire attribute aura felt friendly.
-Oh. Okay. What should we play?
Ramter asked in a flustered voice, trying to be as kind as possible. It would be a big problem if he made the children cry.
“Hide-and-seek!”
-Oh. Hide-and-seek is great. Puhahaha. When it comes to hide-and-seek, I, the great Red Dragon Ramter Zahir is the best. Even my grandson says it’s no fun playing with me because I’m too good at it.
However, being good at something and being good at playing with kids were entirely different matters. He should have remembered why Perion said it wasn’t fun to play hide-and-seek with him.
-Then Grandpa will be the seeker. Everyone, go hide.
“Yes!”
Thus began the game of hide-and-seek.
“Ninety-nine, one hundred. Now, I’m coming to find you!”
After counting, Ramter began searching for the children. Determined to show off his skills, he searched diligently.
“Waaah~! Red Grandpa is mean! Mulmul, found too fast!”
“Hwaah! Sotteok hadn’t even hidden yet….”
“Pangpang worked so hard digging a hole!”
He found the hiding children in an instant as if setting a record, and made them cry. He didn’t know how to go easy.
And then
“Guys, why are you crying? Because you’re crying, Shyongshyong is sad too. Hwaaaang!”
The crying started to spread.
If it spreads now, it’s over!
“Kids, look over here! There’s something yummy!”
Sensing the crisis, Pobi hurriedly raised his voice to draw the children’s attention and then took out dishes he had secretly saved from Sejun’s kitchen to eat later, capturing their focus.
“Oh?! This is made by Teecher-nim! Huljeok knows it!”
“Jjongjjong recognized it right away too!”
“Hehe. Pobi Teecher-nim, can I eat this?”
“…Yeah. Go ahead.”
Pobi answered in a hesitant voice. He didn’t want to give it, but there was no other option.
With this, I can buy time until the food runs out.
But what do I do next?
Pobi pondered how to calm the children.
At that moment
-Kuhahaha. This is Sejun’s food, right? Let’s eat some too.
-Duhahaha. Shall we?
-Hohoho. Sounds good.
-Huhahaha. I’ve been stressed lately and craving Sejun’s food…
Without reading the room, the leaders tried to eat Sejun’s food along with the Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction.
“Gran.d.pa.s.”
Pobi quietly called the leaders through clenched teeth.
-Ahem.
-Cough.
The leaders cleared their throats and turned as if they had always intended to go elsewhere.
And then
-Sejun really knows how to educate kids.
-Yeah. Look how mature Pobi has become.
-I saw earlier, he doesn’t even pick at his food anymore.
-What?! Pobi stopped being picky?! Should I quickly send the Silver Tower to Earth and send our Silvia to Sejun along with dragon scales as payment?
-Hey! Crisella, wait your turn. The first to receive punishment from Sejun is our Perion! Come to think of it, because of Perion, the Red Tower arrived on Earth early.
-Okay. Then when Perion returns, our Silvia will…
-No. Our Ajax comes first! Because of Ajax, the White Tower was the first to arrive on Earth!
The leaders began plotting to have Sejun give punishment so they could send their grandchildren to the Kindergarten of Destruction. Thus, the Kindergarten of Destruction began to evolve into not only a place for future creator gods but also a kindergarten for great dragons.

“Taecho, do you want Daddy to teach you how to swim?”
After almost destroying… no, trying almost all the rides in the water park with his group, Sejun spoke to Taecho.
He was confident, having already graduated two students from his swimming class.
Who were those two?
They were Blackie and Cuengi. Honestly, Cuengi learned from Blackie, but
That’s all because I taught Blackie well.
Sejun considered that to be his own achievement too.
“Yes! Taecho wants to learn to swim!”
Taecho nodded enthusiastically at Sejun’s words.
Thus began Sejun and Taecho’s swimming lesson.
“Let’s start with kicking, shall we?”
“Like this?”
Splash. Splash.
Taecho sat at the edge of the pool, eagerly fluttering her feet, learning how to kick by following Sejun.
“Oh. You’re doing well. Our Taecho will learn in no time.”
“Hehe. Because Taecho is Daddy’s daughter!”
At Sejun’s praise, Taecho became happy and her confidence soared.
“Then shall we try it in the water now?”
“Yeah!”
Sejun held Taecho’s hand and guided her to kick in the water.
Splash. Splash.
“Oh. Good job. Now let’s try it while holding the tube.”
“Okay!”
As Taecho followed the lesson well, Sejun quickly moved on.
“Now, from there, let’s try combining arm movements and breathing. Mmm-pah! Mmm-pah! You breathe like this. Got it?”
“Yes! Mmm-”
Following Sejun, Taecho dipped her face into the water.
“Pah!”
At the same time as pushing the water with her right hand, she turned her head to the side and exhaled sharply.
Ping.
…?!
A gust of wind brushed past Sejun’s left ear.
And after a slight delay.
Boom!
Crashing sounds came from behind.
At that moment.
“Pah!”
Taecho exhaled again.
Ping.
This time, the wind brushed past Sejun’s right ear.
Boom!
The sound of destruction echoed again.
As she became short of breath from swimming, Taecho had unknowingly used strength, activating her dormant power, which was then released through her breath.
“Uh… Taecho, how about we learn to swim when you’re a bit older? Daddy suddenly feels really tired….”
Sejun, who had been staring behind himself for a while, carefully suggested. Behind Sejun, two long and deep craters had formed, cutting across the water park and Neverland.
This is dangerous. I might die teaching her to swim! The Earth could be destroyed too.
For mere breathing, the power was way too lethal.
I should probably compensate Tae-jun-nim’s nephew too.
The holes were so deep it looked like it would cost a lot to fill them.
“Okay! Since Taecho is a good daughter, I won’t make Daddy tired!”
Taecho replied bravely to Sejun’s suggestion.
“Yeah. Daddy will never make our daughter angry either.”
Sejun replied with a voice full of determined resolve.
As Taecho’s breath ended up destroying the last remaining rides and pool, Sejun and his group headed toward the only swimming pool that was left.
“Hehehe. Sejun, I’m happy to float on a tube with you.”
“Puhuhut. Eating Churu while floating on Chairman Park’s lap is great, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’m getting sleepy… Kyoororong.”
[Hehe. This is nice.]
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Even when Cuengi stays still, Cuengi moves!]
(Pip-pip. Let me know if you need anything! I’ll bring it to you!)
“Hehe. This is fun!”
The swimming pool they used had flowing water, so just sitting on a tube kept them moving along with the current, a lazy river.
Sejun and his group let themselves drift with the flow of the water and enjoyed a leisurely time.
About an hour passed like that.
Clank.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie has arrived!]
Blackie opened the void storage.
Boing.
And leapt out.
But.
Oh?! It’s water?!
The place Sejun was in was the middle of the swimming pool.
Blackie had assumed it was ground, but panicked upon seeing the water.
Sharalang!
Caw!
Ppiyak!
Mumu!
Fortunately, his subordinates caught him before he could dive into the water.
Plop.
Thus, Blackie safely landed on Sejun’s belly.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Youngest, greet him! He’s the Great Blackie’s butler!]
He introduced Akasha to Sejun.
Jingle! Jingle! Jingle!
[Hello! The youngest greets you! I’m sorry about earlier!]
The small white snake, Akasha, spoke through the bell on her tail. As she was reborn, her tail had returned.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Give the youngest a name!]
Blackie requested a name from Sejun.
Tail, bell, snake…
And so, Sejun’s naming show began.
“Since you have a bell on your tail, let’s go with Kkobangi. Nice to meet you, Kkobangi.”
Akasha, the snake that strangles the world, became Kkobangi.
Kkobangi?
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. As expected of the Great Blackie’s butler, you’re a naming genius!]
“As expected of Sejun-nim!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
…

5.251.205.82
When the Blackie Family rejoiced at the new name Sejun gave Akasha.
[The effect of Talent: Namer has been activated.][A special effect has been imbued into the name Kkobangi.]
[All of Kkobangi’s stats have increased by 10.]
[Kkobangi has awakened the talent: Bell-ringer.]
As the Namer effect activated, Kkobangi’s stats rose.
Jingle! Jingle!
[Sejun-nim, thank you for giving me such a nice name! Sejun-nim, you’re so handsome!]
“Hehehe. Really?”
She obtained the talent: Bell-ringer, with a knack for flattery.
Grrr. Kking?!
[Grrr. Hey! Kkobangi! Are you flattering the Great Blackie’s butler right now?!]
That’s my butler! Don’t you dare!
Unhappy that Kkobangi was flattering Sejun, Blackie growled and
Thud.
Held another round of mental training with Kkobangi.
A little while later.
(Pip-pip. We’re vacationers floating on water~)
Jingle. Jingle.
To Peaspeas’s song, Kkobangi matched the rhythm by swaying her tail like an instrument.
Sejun, sitting in a tube floating along with the current,
“You see this line? Just pour the hot water up to here.”
He explained seriously to Aileen and Cuengi while pouring hot water into a cup ramen.
Peaspeas had brought cup ramen from Sejun’s void storage, and Cuengi and Iona made the hot water.
Hehehe. I really wanted to try this.
Sejun smiled happily as he watched the ramen cook atop the tube.
Eating cup ramen in a lazy river?
Normally, you’d get smacked by your mom or kicked out of the pool, but since it was just him and his group here, it was fine.
Even if a spill accident occurred, Sejun had the Cleanliness skill and could purify it right away.
And honestly, the surroundings were already devastated, so this kind of accident barely counted.
“Hehehe. Looks tasty.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It smells delicious!]
Following Sejun, Aileen and Cuengi also poured hot water into their ramen and waited for the noodles to cook.
Three minutes later.
“You can eat it now.”
Sejun spoke to the group, opened the lid, and picked up some noodles with his chopsticks.
Then.
Slurp.
He began eating the ramen.
It tastes even better than usual.
Like the kind of ramen you’d eat on a plane, it somehow tasted better. Not that he’d ever eaten ramen on a plane.
After filling up on cup ramen,
Kuhhh.
Eurorong.
Gororong.
…
..
.
Sejun and his group began taking naps while floating on the water.
About an hour passed like that.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
An alert began to ring.
“Mmm.”
What’s that sound?
Sejun, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes at the notification interrupting his sleep.
“Huh?!”
[The leaders of the great Nine Dragon Tribes have failed to control the 23 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction].][The 23 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] are attempting to destroy the Black Tower.]
[A quest has occurred.]
[Quest: Please hurry and bring the 23 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] to the Kindergarten of Destruction. If you fail to bring them within 3 hours, the Black Tower and the territory of the Great Black Dragon will be destroyed.]
Reward: Peace of the Black Tower and the Great Black Dragon’s territory, delay of the arrival of the five towers on Earth by 3 days, 5% evolution experience for <Earth (Lv. 5)>
He discovered a quest message urging him to bring back the Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction quickly.
“Haha.”
Sejun smiled contentedly after reading the message.
The Destruction kids are doing well.
Just from the message, he could feel how much the leaders must’ve suffered.
Though he thought they’d hold out for three days…
Vacation’s over.
At the same time, he realized that this sweet vacation he’d been thoroughly enjoying had come to an end.
Still, he didn’t feel dissatisfied. He’d had a short but fulfilling vacation with his group, and thanks to the quest reward, the other towers’ arrival on Earth had been delayed.
“Guys, let’s wake up.”
Sejun woke the others, took Aileen, Flamie, and Taecho home, then headed for the Black Tower.
