Chapter 273 – Chapter 273

〈 Song Jung-shin 〉

Yesterday, I wondered if there was only a theory class, but today, the first class was none other than ‘art’.

“Wowaaaaa!”

The excited reaction of the children is completely different from yesterday.
Miho, who naturally lay down to sleep, tilted her head and raised her upper body.

“Today, I plan to draw about the future hopes of all of you who have seen a lot during vacation. The teacher brought all the colored pencils, so please use them carefully and don’t break them. So that other people can use it too?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”

I don’t know what it is, but I was certain that I didn’t have to keep listening to boring stories like yesterday.
In addition, since the other children were excited to answer, Miho was able to follow the teacher’s class without hesitation.

“Please come forward and get your sketchbook.”
“Yes! Let’s go, Noah.”
“Yes, sister.”

Miho, who received a sketchbook full of white and a set of colored pencils given to each person, looked at the object in her hand her in wonder.

“Ohhh… Teacher! Teacher!”
“Yes, why?”
“What are your hopes for the future?”
“That means you can draw what Miho wants to be when he grows up.”
“… !”

At that moment, Miho could immediately think of a singer in his mind her. He sees the singers he saw on You Tube flicker before his eyes her.

However, it was quite difficult to transfer what came to her mind her into a sketchbook.

“To…”

Clearly, a clear picture had been completed in his head her, but what actually settled in his sketchbook her were bone monsters who could hardly be distinguished.
On the other hand, the picture of Noah drawing next to him was very amazing.

“Eek!”

It’s not even alive and moving, but it was a pretty picture for anyone to see.
After about 30 minutes, Song Jung-shin started to check the children’s drawings one by one.

‘There are a lot of cute pictures, probably because I’m a first-year elementary school student.’

Last year, when I was a homeroom teacher for a 6th grader in elementary school, most of the jobs were ‘unemployed with a lot of money’, ‘I want to get a job quickly and eat fried chicken’, and ‘popular streamer’ .

Now, I see a lot of jobs like teachers, office workers, and scientists.

‘After only a few years, these innocent kids… Do unemployed people with a lot of money become the number one kids?’

Song Jeong-sin let out a small sigh.
At times like this, the flow of the times comes to mind. Also, how cruel the world is.

By the way…

“Miho, can you tell me what you drew?”

I thought it was a picture of a gnat monster holding a bone and defeating monsters.

“Singer, singer! This is Mike!”

It was Mike, not stick bone.

“I see, becoming a singer is my dream.”
“Kyaaaaang!”

Still, I feel proud to see a child who used to lie down and sleep during Korean or math classes, but is following along so well in art classes.

‘Next, Noah… ?’

Song Jeong-shin couldn’t help but tilt her head while checking what Miho’s brother, who could be said to be an honor student among honor students, had drawn.

The quality of the painting itself was very good.
The color was so rich that it was hard to believe that it was expressed with only 12 colored pencils.

The problem is the content of the picture.
It was a picture of a huge silver dragon lying down and smiling while hugging the humans who seemed to be family.
No, just being able to recognize this directly showed how great Noah’s painting was.

“What are your hopes for the future, Noah?”
“Hehe, I want to become a better and stronger dragon than I am now and protect my family for the rest of my life.”
“Oh my… That, that’s right.”

What should I react to?
Still, he thought he had gotten used to the sudden behavior of first graders as he spent the first semester, but he never dreamed that there would be a first grader who wanted to become a dragon.

“Noah can definitely be.”
“Thanks sister.”

… What on earth should I do to understand this sister?

“Then, shall we put the pictures we each drew neatly on the wall behind us? Thumbtack is dangerous, so I’ll use tape.”
“Yes!”

Miho was excited.
If it was something like this class, I thought I could enjoy it until lunchtime.
But she was excited until the first period.

Righteous living in the 2nd period and society and morality in the 3rd period were enough to send Miho back to the land of dreams. However, the 4th period, just before lunchtime, was physical education.

“Sister, sister… The 4th period is physical education, so we have classes on the playground.”
“… !”

Miho, who thought she was only in this boring classroom, quickly grabbed her shoes and went out to the playground.

“Kyaaaaa!”

She seemed to live.
Instead of the stuffy air in the classroom, the clear blue sky air and the scent of trees planted around the elementary school.

The summer sun that heats up their heads and backs couldn’t stop these energetic first graders.

“Jjae-aeng, jjaaeng!”

It was the exact opposite of Song Jung-shin, who was already out of breath despite wearing a sun cap and sunglasses.

“Everyone, let’s start with warm-up exercises. What did you tell me about the reason for warming up?”
“I don’t want to get hurt!”
“You’re right. So, one, two, three, four… Two two three four…”

Before he was hurt, Song Jung-shin, who was already approaching 40, felt his whole body sore just from warming up.
In particular, the neck, waist, and knee joints scream.

‘… Oh, I can’t do it.’

Originally, there was something I had to teach separately, but it seemed like I had to move on to ‘dodgeball’, which is the children’s favorite today.

“Then, would you like to go separately with the class president and get some dodge balls from the gym over there?”
“Quaaaaa!”
“Wowaaaaa!”

When nearly 20 children screamed in delight at the word “Dodgeball,” Miho tilted her head and shouted out equally excitedly.

“So, what about dodgeball?”
“It’s a sport where you throw a ball in a given space to hit the other person, or avoid or catch a flying ball, sister.”
“Oohhhhh… !”

After hearing the words, Miho was even more excited.
On the other hand, Noah looked a bit scary.

“Noah, don’t worry. Sister will definitely protect you.”
“Yes, sister!”

Dodgeball started like that.
Both boys and girls, everyone was excited and struggled to catch the ball rolling on the floor.

Song Jeong-sin, who was fanning himself under the shady stand, barely caught his breath.

“Whoa, I’m going to live now. Today is PE for 4th period, so buying ice cream for the kids is a bit like that. After this is over, it’s time to eat lunch.”

Song Jung-shin never took her eyes off her children her, even when she took her breath away.

“Hey! What if I throw it like that!”
“Take this!”
“Kyaaaaagh! Whoa, it’s out.”

You’re really full of energy, overflowing.

“Children playing dodgeball under this scorching sun without paying attention to the heat. Wouldn’t that cause you to eat the heat and collapse? If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought you the key to the auditorium.”

While muttering like that, more than half of the people who were out on both sides before they knew it.
In the midst of all that, the one that stood out the most was the sisters Miho and Noah, who had blonde and silver hair that reflected sunlight.

“The physical is exceptionally good.”

Well, first graders in elementary school are said to have good stamina so that they can run around all day long, but apart from that…

“Kyaaaaang!”

… To be honest, can there really be a first grader in this world who, apart from being a grass field, jumps 2 meters in place, turns around in the air and lands lightly with one foot?

If you haven’t been continuously learning from your parents, who are the national rhythmic gymnasts since you were 5 years old, you can’t do that kind of ridiculous movement…

‘If Noah were ordinary, would he be ordinary?’

… While thinking, I saw the ball fly right into Noah’s face.

Usually, in this situation, children close their eyes and sit down, or reflexively raise their hands to protect their faces.

However, instead of panicking, Noah casually reached out and held his dodgeball lightly with both hands.

“Isn’t it scary…”

Even adults are afraid when a ball flies in front of their face.

“Hehe, I think a ball like this would only tickle me even if I hit it 100 days. Sister, I’ll give you the ball here.”
“Kyaaaaang!”

“Kang!”

Of course, there was no way there was a kid in the first year of elementary school who could beat Miho, whom he could never match, and Noah, who would snatch it up without hesitation.

When the game ended in an instant, the children expressed their dissatisfaction and said,

“Because you two are so strong, the game is no fun. You two go to another team.”
“Ugh! Ha, but Miho and Noah are her older sister her and her younger sister her…”
“It’s a game, so it’s okay. Try it with another team. Besides, Noah never threw a ball.”
“Oh, my God…”

Miho had to split Noah and her team according to her according to the opinions of the children.
As the game progressed, Noah always gave the ball to his side rather than throwing the ball himself this time.
Miho dodges all the balls, and if he accidentally picks up a ball, everyone except Noah is out.
And then…

“Here’s the ball… Uh?”

Suddenly, only Miho and Noah, naturally the strongest, were left in the arena in a one-on-one situation.
The kids who saw it clenched their fists.

“Ohhh, I can see who is stronger.”
“Miho is older, is Noah older?”

I did n’t know that Song Jeong-shin would be so interested in dodgeball as a first-year elementary school student, but she could n’t take her eyes off her.

“Hey, what should I do, sister?”
“Mi, Miho could surrender as her sister her, but… Then it’s no fun. Come on, Noah.”
“Ooh, oh, okay. Sister… Then I’ll throw it lightly?”

It was said to be thrown lightly, but Miho, who knows that the standard is dragon, deliberately tells the children behind her to move away.
I looked at the ball falling from Noah’s fingertips with more concentration than ever.

Miho, who witnessed how the dodge ball left Noah’s hand and flattened due to the air pressure, threw herself to the side.

“Ugyaaaaagh!”

No matter how I look at it, I thought that if I got hit, I would go to the hospital.

Pushout, boom!

In fact, the dodgeball thrown by Noah hit the wall of the new school building at the end of the playground, making me wonder when it flew there, and it exploded with the sound of a bomb exploding.

“…”
“…”

The children who witnessed it, as well as the teacher, were momentarily at a loss for words. However, the most heartbreaking thing here was Miho, who avoided it by a margin.

As the flashlight flashed by, he remembered what Lucas had emphasized to himself several times.

“Dragons are the absolutes of this world. If you face them, you must get down on your knees and beg for their salvation. Do you understand, Miho? That is the only way for elves and dwarves, these races, to survive even after encountering a dragon.”

Took, took…

Feeling the cold sweat running down his chin, Miho cautiously knelt down in front of Noah and said while bowing.

“Miho is lost…”

And he added a word.

“… Save me.”

Seeing that, Noah was greatly embarrassed, so she knelt down and bowed herself, and her PE class her was over.
