Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Pobi Teecher-nim, then when is Tejun Teecher-nim coming?”
“Right! Why isn’t Teecher-nim coming to pick up Mingming?”
The children who had finished eating started to look for Sejun.
“Uh… kids, Teacher Sejun said he’d come tomorrow, remember? If we just sleep one more night, we can see him! Isn’t that nice?”
Pobi gently coaxed the children with a kind voice.
However.
“Bongbong too!”
“Tejun Teecher-nim!”
“Tejun… ugh… Teecher-nim~”
Pobi’s words didn’t get through to the kids who wanted to see Sejun right away.
The children began revving up to cry.
“Grandpas! Emergency! Do something, anything!”
Pobi, who had no other way to soothe the children, asked the leaders for help.
-Kids, look at this! It’s Sejun!
-Aigoo! It looks just like him!
The leaders used illusion magic to create an image of Sejun and distract the kids.
“Huh?! Tejun Teecher-nim?”
“It’s Teecher-nim!”
The children rushed toward Sejun’s illusion and jumped into his arms, but passed through the illusion emptily.
Thud.
They fell.
Oh no!
Seeing that, Pobi covered his mouth in horror. The worst had happened.
“Gomgom fell! Teecher-nim didn’t hug Gomgom! Waaah!”
Starting with Gomgom, who burst into tears from the injustice of falling and the betrayal that Sejun didn’t hug him,
“Teecher-nim is fake!”
“Mulmul got tricked!”
The other children also began wailing on the floor.
Bang! Bang!
Every time the children rolled on the ground, their surroundings were destroyed.
-Kids, calm down!
-If you stop crying, we’ll play with you!
The leaders tried to soothe the children from a distance with only their voices. They couldn’t get close due to the durability of the dragon statue.
“Kids, should we sing the Poruru song together?”
Pobi, the only one able to approach the children, tried his best to soothe them.
“No! There’s no Tejun Teecher-nim!”
“I wanna see Sejun Teecher-nim!”
“Bring Sejun here-!”
“Kuku, bad manners! You should say Sejun Teecher-nim!”
Thud.
“Eek! Shyongshyong hit Kuku! Kuku’s mad now!”
Thud.
As the situation worsened, even that became difficult.
“Why did Shyongshyong hit?”
“Shyongshyong hit first!”
“No! Kuku said Sejun Teecher-nim’s name all wrong, so Kuku is worse!”
The children’s sudden fight started escalating into a group brawl,
Bang! Bang!
The Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction, consumed by anger and growing gigantic, began laying waste to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
Thankfully, just in case, all the residents of the Black Tower had been moved to other floors, so there were no casualties.
Just as the 99th floor of the Black Tower was about to collapse from the brawl of the Children.
[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]Sejun arrived.
…What the heck is all this?
Sejun was a bit flustered as he looked at the devastated 99th floor of the Black Tower, but he quickly regained his composure and said,
“Kids, Teacher is here!”
He calmly walked straight into the battlefield where the kids were fighting.
Though it was dangerous since the Destruction Children hadn’t noticed Sejun’s arrival yet.
“Puhuhut. As long as I, Vice Chairman Theo, am here, the great hybrid Chairman Park is safe, meow! Meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehehe. dad is protected by Cuengi! Yap!]
Thanks to Theo and Cuengi, there was no danger.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Kids! Great Blackie and his butler are here!]
Blackie also barked hard to let them know that he and Sejun had arrived.
“Huh?! It’s Sejun Teecher-nim!”
As the kids discovered Sejun one by one, they began to calm down, and the fight ended anticlimactically.
“What? They stopped crying that fast? Without snacks or Poruru?”
-As expected, Sejun is great with kids.
-Exactly. I should send my grandkid to Sejun too, fix their picky eating and tantrums.
Pobi and the leaders looked at Sejun with eyes full of awe.
[Recognized by beings of Transcendent level, the rank of Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun has increased.]Thanks to that, Sejun’s rank went up a little.
Oh. I’m overflowing with power!
As Sejun’s innate energy rose, he could now absorb a little more energy from the core fragment.
“Haa. But the house and the field are all ruined.”
Sejun sighed so deeply it looked like the earth would sink as he looked at the devastated house and farm.
“Teecher-nim, are you mad?”
“Teecher-nim, sorry….”
“Teecher-nim, Dongdong did wrong.”
The children, glancing at Sejun’s expression, timidly approached and apologized. Once their excitement died down, they began to see the things they hadn’t noticed before.
And then.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi’s herb field is gone! The ten-thousand-year ginseng that Cuengi was growing for dad died!]
Cuengi returned from his herb field holding a limp ginseng with a face that screamed, ‘I’m going to kill…’ His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
“Oh no?! Cuengi Teecher-nim is angry!”
“When Cuengi Teecher-nim gets mad, he’s really scary…!”
“We’re gonna get beaten to dust at this rate!”
The children trembled in fear.
“I think Nene broke that earlier….”
“No! It wasn’t Nene!”
“It really hurts if you get hit….”
“Nene said it wasn’t her!”
They began trying to identify the culprit.
“Oh. Nene has a good idea! Let’s pray to God!”
“Ah, right. If we pray to God, just like how the sun and moon lowered a rope, our wish will come true too!”
Thinking of the Sun and Moon play, Nene and the children came up with a way to resolve the situation.
“Then what should we pray for?”
“Let’s ask to go back to before we caused the accident.”
“Yeah!”
The Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction closed their eyes tightly and began praying to God.
Too cute.
Sejun smiled as he watched the Destruction Children clasp their hands and pray.
Traditional fairy tales really do have an effect.
At the same time, he felt a sense of pride in the education he was providing.
But aside from Taecho, aren’t those kids the highest gods themselves? Is there even a god who can grant their prayer?
As Sejun expected, there was, of course, no being who could grant the Destruction Children’s prayer.
Please return us to before we caused the accident!
Please return us to before we caused the accident!
…
..
.
Instead, the desperate will of the future Creator Gods stirred causality and began to move the world.
As a result, Sejun’s dead crops and Cuengi’s herbs came back to life, and the scorched fields began to rewind as if time itself was reversing, restoring everything to its original state.
“Huh?!”
The kids had powers like this?
Sejun was amazed at the abilities of the Destruction Children.
At that moment.
“Bro-ther-in-la-w-!”
Ace’s dragon statue flew toward Sejun.
When the children had arrived.
“That’s our Teecher-nim!”
-No, He is Ace’s brother-in-law!
They had fought over Sejun, and Ace’s dragon statue had been broken in the process. It had been under repair, but just now, it was restored.
“Brother-in-law! Please scold them! They’re the ones who broke my statue!”
Ace tattled immediately.
“Come on. My dear baby brother-in-law is generous. The kids did it by accident, so let’s forgive them. More importantly, wanna eat some Yonggary Chicken?”
-Puhihihi. Yes!
All his anger melted away with Yonggary Chicken.
“Alright. Just wait a bit.”
As Sejun fried the Yonggary Chicken,
I should also take care of Ajax.
He also cooked pancakes, which Ajax liked.
“Only take 100 bottles of alcohol each. If you take more, I’ll confiscate everything. Vice Chairman Theo, keep a close watch.”
He handed out the alcohol he had been fermenting to the leaders.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! The great hybrid Chairman Park can trust me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow! Dragons, Vice Chairman Theo is watching you, meow!”
Fwoosh!
Theo burned Sejun’s money, covering his eyes with his two front paws now glowing golden,
Fwoosh.
Theo’s eyes turned golden.
-That’s scary. He awakened clairvoyance like that?
-Theo, I really don’t think he’s normal.
The leaders were shocked at the sight.
-If he were normal, would he be watching us like this?
-Gahaha. Fair point.
When it came to Sejun, Theo had no limits or common sense.
As the leaders each carried off 100 bottles of alcohol,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Dragon-nims! Hand over the heart fragments to the butler of great Blackie!]
Blackie, waiting outside, barked in a tone that posed no threat to the dragons while extorting them.
-Hmm? He can make Sejun stronger?
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Of course! Great Blackie can do it!]
-Muhahaha. Giving them isn’t hard.
-Yeah. We wanted to give them before but couldn’t. Here, take them.
The dragons willingly handed their heart fragments to Blackie.
Hehe. With this, I’ll upgrade butler!
Blackie dashed over to Sejun and began synthesizing the core fragment with the heart fragments of the remaining six great dragon attributes that weren’t yet in the core.
With Sejun’s return, the 99th floor of the Black Tower had regained its old liveliness.
***
Black Tower, 75th floor.
Ppyaek!
[Jeras-nim, I’ve caught the culprit!]
Black Torch entered Jeras’s office, grabbing a green frog by the scruff of its neck.
And then.
“Welcome, Prince Black Torch. Hm. So it really is the petty thief, Kaeruri Niru. Well done. Here is the bounty: 1 Tower Coin.”
He received the bounty from Jeras.
Taking mercenary requests during training journeys was pretty much the norm. Black Torch, Shak, and Fatty were diligently working as mercenaries, accepting various requests.
“With this, Prince Black Torch is now a C-rank mercenary. Here’s your C-rank mercenary badge.”
Normally, they would need to go to the Mercenary Association to receive one, but someone of Jeras’s status could issue any badge below A-rank as long as the qualifications were met.
Ppyaek!
[Thank you!]
Black Torch smiled as he looked at his C-rank mercenary badge.
Up until now, they’d only received truly trivial requests, but from C-rank onward, they could meet strong opponents.
As Black Torch stepped out of the Wandering Merchant Guild Headquarters,
Ppiik!
[Enjoy delicious fried carrots!]
Ppiik!
[We also have sweet carrot juice!]
Shak and Fatty had unfolded a cart and were running a temporary food stall. A long line of customers had formed around it.
Since bounty rewards alone weren’t enough to cover living expenses, they were running the food stall as a side job.
And surprisingly, the line stretched out about 50 meters.
Black Torch, Shak, and Fatty had unexpectedly excellent cooking skills, and word of the food stall had spread, attracting crowds.
Am I going to become the legendary Black Rabbit of the restaurant world at this rate?
Black Torch began seriously wondering whether to keep running the food stall.
***
Black Tower, 99th floor.
While everyone was peacefully resting and eating Sejun’s food,
5.251.205.82
-Sejun, actually, the reason the Red Tower came to Earth so quickly is all because of Perion. A week ago, Perion exhausted me, and I ended up making a mistake.
Ramter approached Sejun and spoke.
“What?”
-Yeah. You must be angry. You should be. I’ll summon Perion right away, so take him to Earth.
“Huh?”
What is this?
Sejun was confused, not understanding what was going on.
At that moment.
-Kuhahaha. Ramter, why are you making it complicated? Sejun, just take Perion and work him hard.
Kaiser cut in.
“Ah. I just need to work him hard?”
-Exactly. Grind him hard and shape him up like Pobi.
Ah-ha!
Sejun understood the dragons’ intentions.
“Hehehe. That’s not an easy task, though.”
-That’s fine. What do you need? Just say the word, Sejun!
-Sejun, could you work our Hokus too?
-And our Garrick as well.
The leaders began asking Sejun to take their grandkids too.
“Puhuhut. Dragon-nims! Nothing in this world is free, meow! Give me your scales, claws, and horns, meow!”
As expected of the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Even the mighty dragons make requests to our Chairman Park, meow!
Theo, moved by Sejun’s greatness, collected dragon scales, claws, and horns from the leaders and packed them in the bag.
Once Theo had finished collecting everything,
“I’ll take the kids for now and then work out a schedule.”
Sejun pretended to be busy, stirring up the dragons’ impatience.
A short while later.
“Well then, we’ll be going.”
-All right. Go safely.
-Take care.
Receiving a warm send-off from the leaders, Sejun returned to Earth with his group and 23 Destruction Children.
And thus, Sejun’s fulfilling 2-day, 1-night vacation came to an end.
