chapter 32
(32)
Let’s buy some rice
I woke up to the sound of the alarm, but I don’t want to wake up, probably addicted to the comfort of the blanket.
If it hadn’t been for an appointment, I would have stayed in bed.
I put my regret behind me and got up.
After vacation, it was a bit uncomfortable to stay in the portal where the master was, but after taking a shower and wiping my body with a dry towel, I hummed naturally.
After we parted after dinner yesterday, we went to the hotel we had visited last time.
I thought it was expensive until I paid, but a hotel is a hotel after all.
I’ll have breakfast and extend it until school starts.
I’ll stop by the master every weekend, but I need a place to stay in Seoul as long as I keep hunting.
The school dormitory is also available, but transportation is inconvenient as it is located in a very remote area.
Come to think of it, I didn’t bring a few clothes, but I’m going to buy some later on the way back from hunting.
I should have bought a car too.
I changed my clothes and came down to the restaurant thinking that there are many places to go for money.
Since it was a weekday, there were few people, so we were able to have breakfast in a quiet atmosphere.
All of them are neat and decent, and the school dormitory food is usually good, but the hotel can’t beat it.
I stopped by the lobby, extended it until school started, and took a taxi after leaving the hotel.
It was morning, so the car was a bit blocked, but fortunately we arrived on time.
After waiting for a while, Mr. Kim and Seol Lee also arrived and got into the car right away.
“Good morning both of you. Did you eat?”
“Yes. I ate with Sunhwa. Shin Hyuk, did you eat?”
“Yes. I ate too. If you ate together, you must have met earlier.”
“Oh, because Lee Seol slept over at my house yesterday.”
“I see. But what is that?”
At the back of the car, I can see several quite long iron rods that I didn’t see yesterday.
One had blades, but it looked like a prefabricated window.
“Oh, that’s mine. I’m going to try using a spear from today.”
Lee Seol, who was driving, answers.
what?
In the original work, Hong Yi-seol never uses a spear.
My specialty is Baktujutsu, and the subject taught at school is also Baktujutsu.
But all of a sudden, what window?
“This time, our school’s spearmanship teacher TO came out. Seol-i will apply there.”
I think I’m referring to the position of Teacher Jeong who quit after being defeated by me, but it’s not Park Tu-sul, but a spearman’s teacher… .
original has been changed.
I’ve been thinking about what I’ve done wrong, but I can’t find anything.
I’ve never been given a window.
“Why did you suddenly make such a decision… .”
“I mean. It’s not even my field of expertise. And since last year, I kept coaxing him to come to school, but he said he would never do it. But yesterday, he suddenly told his dad that he wanted to go to school.”
“that is… The guild contract period is over, and seeing the two of you, I think school life won’t be bad. I get paid while taking a break during vacation.”
Certainly vacation is a merit, but isn’t it better to be part of a guild and earn money?
When I was interviewed at school in the past, I said that I earn a little less than hunters, but when I actually hunt, I think the difference is huge.
I heard that even an A-rank hunter would only be able to earn around 10 million won a month, even with all the various allowances, if he became a teacher, he earned 3,400 from hunting in the portal just yesterday.
Of course, I was able to pay 10% less tax because I was a teacher of an ogre’s unexpected profit, and it was because I ate 80% of it, but an A-rank hunter would easily earn more than 100 million won a month.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for the purpose of building a friendship with the main character to prepare for the future, I think I would have dropped out of school and went hunting.
“Isn’t it difficult if it’s not your field of expertise?”
“Hunters who use spears will have a little more advantage, but the spearmanship taught at school isn’t that difficult, so it will work somehow.”
“The appointment test is not easy… Aren’t you thinking too easily?”
“There is an additional point for A-rank hunters, and it’s only temporary for this semester anyway. If I think I’m right for it, I’ll take the test again next year and switch to Baktujutsu.”
I was worried that the future might change if Hong Yi-seol became a spearman, but I’m glad.

“I made a deposit, so everyone check it out.”
“He came in.”
“I checked.”
An undead monster came out of the portal assigned in the morning.
Since they’re already dead, it’s tricky because they don’t die from quite a few wounds.
Besides, corpses don’t cost much money, and ghosts are so-called beggar monsters that only take up time and money because they can’t do any damage unless it’s magic or aura.
I thought it would take quite a while, but since Mr. Kim was able to enchant the light attribute, it ended faster than I thought.
“The next portal is Siheung, so there is a street. It looks like it will be lunchtime when we arrive, what should we do?”
“I brought lunch.”
“I prepared it too.”
uh?
“If you had told me in advance, I would have prepared myself…” . Then, if there is a convenience store nearby, please stop there.”
If everyone is going to prepare a lunch box, did they tell me to bring it too… .
It’s too much for them to come to fight only among themselves.
I felt it yesterday too, but since the two of them are so close, I feel like I’m the only one left out.
“Yes? I prepared it because I thought Mr. Kang would also eat it with me. Is there anything else you would like to eat?”
do you have mine?
I didn’t expect it at all.
Even when I went on a picnic during my school days, I always paid for gimbap, and none of the girlfriends I’ve met have ever packed a lunchbox for me.
“No, that’s not it, of course I thought I prepared only for the two of you… .”
“Ah, Sam Kang, it’s not like we’re a team, so there’s no way we’re only bullying Sam Kang, and there’s no way we’re the only ones fighting.”
“Did we have such a heartless image? You are doing too much.”
“ah… no.”
It’s touching.
As I live, this day comes.
“Isn’t it a bit like eating in the car?”
“There was a park I saw on my way earlier. There are mats in the car, so how about eating there? Isn’t Mr. Kang okay too?”
“I like anywhere.”
I got in the car and moved a little and got off at the park.
After asking for your understanding, I went to the bathroom for a while, and when I came back, I felt like I was on a picnic when I saw the colorful lunch boxes lying on the neat sky blue mat.
“Can I get you something to drink?”
“It’s okay because I took care of it in the morning. Please have a seat.”
It’s worth it that you did me a favor yesterday.
“Oh, thank you.”
I sat down and opened the lunch box.
The four-layer lunch box consists of gimbap, rice balls, fried tofu sushi, and fruit, respectively.
However, for some reason, rice balls and fried tofu sushi are much smaller in quantity than gimbap.
“Seonhwa made the rice balls and tofu sushi, and I made the gimbap.”
“I make it in the morning, but my dad keeps eating it, so there isn’t much of it.”
“This is enough. Everything looks so delicious. thank you for this food.”
First of all, I took a big bite of rice balls with seaweed powder on the outside.
“Kek!”
“Have some water here. I won’t take it away, so please eat slowly.”
“Go, thank you.”
It’s not because I ate in a hurry.
What the hell is this?
What kind of salt was poured into the barrel… too salty too
I was about to spit it out, so I had no choice but to put a lot of water in it and chew it, but the sweetness came out ignorantly from the inside.
I wondered what the hell this was, so I looked at the contents and saw a brown color.
Could this be chocolate?
“How are you? My dad says it’s delicious, but I don’t know if Mr. Kang will like it.”
Do you think this is delicious?
Vice-principal You seem to have a serious problem with your sense of taste.
“hahahaha, that’s a bit unique.”
I managed to swallow it, but I didn’t want to eat it twice, so I put the rice balls down and picked up tofu sushi.
Since fried tofu sushi comes as a normal product, I thought it would be okay, so I ate it in one bite, but I was wrong.
For some reason, I should have been suspicious since the sour smell was excessive.
Tongue so sour
‘Quadruple Vinegar’… No, I doubt this is ’16 times vinegar’.
In addition, the rice is sour and salty, probably from rice balls, and there is no such thing as a great party.
“Are you okay? My dad’s favorite is tofu sushi that I made.”
How can you like something like this?
It’s almost to the point where I wonder if the reason why I was able to become an S-rank hunter was because I trained with these foods.
“hahahaha… . Vice-principal must be very nice.”
“Don’t talk. As long as you do it every day, he will come next to you and pick it up and eat it all. Today, my dad tried to eat everything, but Mr. Kang stopped me, so I finally brought it.”
Now that I see it, the vice-principal knows her daughter’s cooking skills, not that her taste is strange, but it seems that she chose to sacrifice herself to avoid hurting her.
This guy’s inspiration… If you want to hide it, you will hide it until the end.
Am I okay with being hurt?
I was going to tell the truth even now, but I held back because I didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.
Even though the taste is eccentric, I bought it because I thought about it, and the vice-principal might retaliate.
Fortunately, however, the kimbap made by Hong Yi-seol was normal.
“Why do you only eat gimbap?”
Maybe that’s what you’re trying to do on purpose?
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just by looking at it, the words “Can’t you understand?” come up to my throat, ha… be patient
“Oh, there are only a few other things. Lee Seol and Mr. Kim should also eat it.”
“I don’t like fried tofu sushi and rice balls, so I don’t eat them.”
No, Hong Yi-seol is not like that.
So who wants to eat all of this… .
“Because Lee Seol-i has a bit of a picky appetite. I ate a lot in the morning, so Mr. Kang, you can eat it all.”
Mr. Kim, who speaks with a smile, looks like a devil.
I have to hunt in the afternoon… Eating more will cause problems.
I had no choice but to say something, but Mr. Kim just left the room saying he was going to the bathroom.
“They say they ate everything when Seonhwa came.”
“Yes?”
Without listening to my answer, Mr. Lee Seol puts all the rice balls and tofu sushi in a plastic bag, wraps it tightly, and throws it in the trash.
I’m sorry Mr. Kim, but I didn’t stop him.
No, if Mr. Lee Seol didn’t do that, I would have abandoned him.
“Are you okay? Seonhwa’s taste is a bit peculiar, but since she was young, the vice principal has been telling her that it’s delicious, so she really knows she’s good at cooking.”
“Could it be okay? If you knew, why don’t you dry it in the morning.”
“When I woke up, I couldn’t help it because Seonhwa had already prepared everything. That’s why I prepared gimbap in a hurry… .”
“That’s how it happened. The kimbap was really good.”
“really? Actually, I did it for the first time today… thank you.”
To be honest, it wasn’t super delicious, it was ordinary, but the rice balls and tofu sushi were the worst.
Lee Seol’s face turned red, probably because he’s the type who isn’t good at compliments.
“Shin Hyuk, what are you going to rest next Monday for?”
It’s because of the training theory test, but yesterday I couldn’t explain it properly because I was arguing over the portal problem.
“Oh, there is a new teacher training theory test on Monday. I have to take another break because I have a practical test in two weeks, so I’m sorry.”
“it’s okay. But do you still take exams after you become a teacher?”
“I mean.”
“Have you studied?”
“no. As for the theory, Mr. Kim said it was to confirm what everyone knows, so I didn’t prepare it separately.”
The theory has Kang Shin-hyeok’s memory and is related to school practice, so I’m not too worried.
The problem is that it doesn’t work.
The practical test is said to be a way for trainees to team up and clear the portal.
Teams are not decided, but they say that like-minded people form a team during training. Is there anyone who would like to team up with me?
I’d rather be alone… I guess I’ll know when the time comes.
As we were talking about school life, Mr. Kim returned.
“uh? Are you done already?”
“I heard that Mr. Kang ate it very well.”
They throw everything in the trash and lie very calmly.
“Ah, since I kept eating without thinking… . I’m sorry, Seonhwa-san, you should eat too.”
I’m sorry Mr. Kim, but I can’t help it.
i have to live
“I’m OK. There are still a lot of gimbap. There are also fruits.”
“yes. It must have suited Mr. Kang’s taste. Eat gimbap.”
“If it suits your taste, can you pack it tomorrow?”
I thought it was fortunate that I barely passed, but what kind of lightning was this in the dry sky?
“Yes? No, it will be cumbersome, but there is no need to do that.”
Is this woman really trying to kill me?
“right. It’s convenient to buy and eat.”
Hong Yi-seol is also there.
“If you eat outside every time, it’s not good for your body. It doesn’t take long to make it, so it’s okay.”
“It’s really fine.”
“right. Do you think your master will be jealous if you keep bringing packed lunches?”
“Ah, my dad isn’t even a kid, so he’s jealous. OK.”
It feels like dying and coming back to life.
“I’ll still pack it sometimes.”
I think we should seriously consider getting Mr. Kim out of the party and finding another member.
