Chapter 1031 – [Winter of Growth]

As usual, Eden woke up in the morning and prepared for school. The worst thing about preparing Eden’s breakfast is that she takes care of Eden.

“Is there anything missing? Did you pack all your homework and textbooks?”

“Ooh!!!! I got everything!!!!”

“Yes, listen to the teacher carefully today. Oh, Dad will cook something delicious for dinner tonight, so don’t eat dinner and wait.”

“Wow!!!! Delicious!!!!!”

It’s a peaceful day as usual. And after Eden ate breakfast and washed up, he went to school with the worst.

Eden gets off at the front door of the school and waves her hand at the worst going to her store. She even gestures lightly at worst to say hello.

“Dad!!!! See you in the evening!!!!!”

“Yes, Eden. See you later.”

Eden headed straight to her own classroom. In the middle she accidentally almost goes to the 1st grade classroom and then she changes her way in the middle and she goes up to the 2nd grade classroom.

She hasn’t gotten used to it because it’s been a while since her class has changed. Looking at it, she could see that even Eden was a child who made mistakes and that she was human.

“Hello kids!!!!!”

“Oh, Eden is here.”

“Did you come early? Did you come by dad’s car today?”

“Uh!!!!”

“I envy you. I wish my dad would give me a ride too.”

“Isn’t Da-hee your dad like that?”

“I’m busy. I leave early every day, so I don’t have time for that.”

“It can’t be helped. But since you’re trying to feed your family, you should rather understand.”

“……. Eden sometimes acts like an adult when he sees you. Are you really in the same grade as me?”

“We’ve been in the same class since kindergarten!!!!!”

“I know, but I do”

Eden is tall enough to look down at two heads apart from her peers. Even the children say she is short because she has not yet developed secondary sexual characteristics, but Eden was still the tallest person in her class.

However, there was a boy who was the next biggest Eden. The child that Eden considers as the class’ problem child.

Soon after, the child went to school. As soon as he arrived, he threw off his book bag and shouted.

“Hey!!!! Jaeho Kim!!! Put my bag on top of my bookshelf!!!”

“What? Why me?”

“Hey, if you want to do it, you’ll do it. Talk back? Do you want to get hit?”

Because he was bigger and stronger than his peers, the name of the boy who tried to take over his class with brute force was Kwon Soon-wook.

He behaved the same way in first grade. At that time, Eden was not in that class, so he could not stop the situation. Even though Eden didn’t know about the bullying of his class, he had no time to care about the bullying of the other class.

But now it’s different. Eden was in the same class as him and had no intention of seeing the school violence happening right in front of his eyes. He is not the class president because he hasn’t even been elected yet, but at least Eden considers all the kids in this class to be his friends, so he doesn’t stand by.

“Hey!!! Soonwook Kwon!!!! Stop school violence!!!!”

“Mmm, stop!!!!!”

“Stop!!!!”

When Eden came out and shouted, he reacted with a startle.

However, in the end, only words could not solve the violence. Rather, it only makes the other person angry and makes the situation more serious.

“School violence? Hey, is it school violence to ask you to put your bag on the seat?”

“If you make someone do something they don’t like, that’s school violence. Don’t you know that?”

Kwon Soon-wook laughed at Eden and said,

“Hey, Eden Choi. Do you think I won’t be able to hit you just because you’re pretty and a girl?”

As tall as Eden is, she is one head taller than him. However, her physique was above Kwon Soon-wook.

Outwardly, Eden resembles Shion and is skinny. In fact, she was so strong and had strong muscles that she was incomparable to her peers, but that didn’t matter to a child who knew her opponent by her appearance.

As much as weight class is important in martial arts, weight class is important even in children’s fights. Comparing Eden and Kwon Soon-wook, the two had such a difference in physique that they usually took his side.

“And I have a red belt in Taekwondo?

“Are you going to try it?”

“Let’s fight?

Just as we were about to fight and growl at each other, one of the children burst into the class and shouted.

“Teacher is coming!!!!!”

The situation was settled when the teacher came. However, that meant that the current fight had been pushed back, not that the mutual anger had cooled.

Soon-wook Kwon clicks his tongue while frowning. And he said bluntly to Eden.

“You’ve been lucky. There’s no guessing next time.”

“That’s what I’m saying”

The friction between Eden and Kwon Soon-wook started like that. And it was like two flint stones colliding with each other.

When flints collide, sparks fly. And that spark sparks a fire.

It remains to be seen how the fire will spread.

* * * *

The incident happened during lunch break.

Since each class has a set meal order, the children from Eden’s class headed to the lunch room to have lunch. Of course, Kwon Soon-wook was also included.

Today’s menu includes spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, salad, and fruit jelly for dessert.

As it is one of the worst parts, Daemyung Elementary School’s school meals were coming out at a considerable level. There was no embezzlement of meal expenses, and there are many aspects of nutritionists trying to feed the children good food as much as possible.

“Spaghetti looks delicious!!!!!”

“Eden, don’t you only like to eat?”

“No, I like other things, but I just like food more!!!!”

“You’re following someone you don’t know later because they’re buying you something delicious, aren’t you?”

“If someone like that comes out, I’ll pretend to follow them and secretly call 112.”

“You’re quite adamant about that. I don’t know if you’re smart or stupid.”

“Originally, the difference between a genius and a fool is one piece of paper”

“Is that paper a report card?”

The children, who had spent time in line and joked nonsensical jokes, before they knew it, it was their turn to pick up a plate and receive food.

The school lunch lady distributes meals and welcomes the children with a smile. Eden greeted the lady and thanked her for making delicious rice today.

“Thank you for the delicious meal today!!!!!”

“It’s Eden, right? You’ve grown so much while I haven’t seen you during vacation. Yes, it’s worth seeing how you usually eat. Eat a lot today.”

“Yes!!!!”

There are times when food is not enough, but when it is left over, Eden is the first to run, so all the staff working in the cafeteria knew Eden.

No, I can’t help it because I can’t help but know it is the most noticeable among the children. Even so, she was so popular that women of her age who had children of her age wanted to make her their daughter-in-law because she had beautiful silver hair, good looks, and a good personality.

Of course, there are many women who gave up after seeing how much Eden ate.

Anyway, her aunt, who knew how much Eden was eating, secretly put a little more spaghetti on Eden’s share. I’ll give you more if there’s more anyway, but if I run out of food, I can only eat that, so I give as much as possible.

“Oh, there’s a seat over there!!!!”

“She normally should have sat a bit more secluded, but that’s great.”

The children who received the food are seated. Each of them sits with close friends and their own faction, but since Eden’s class is united around Eden, most of them sit and eat together.

On the one hand, it was also a reminder of her Edenian tendencies. She does it because she values ​​eating with everyone.

However, Kwon Soon-wook sat a little away from them and ate. She was Eden, and although she liked to eat with everyone, she was not so forgiving that she ate with people who didn’t respect them.

And the incident happened shortly thereafter.

“Spaghetti is delicious. When will it come out next time?”

“Well, maybe it will come out next month or so?”

“It’s too long. I hope to come back tomorrow.”

Almost finished the meal, now with only dessert remaining, Kwon Soon-wook stood up first.

Then he came to the table where they were and took the dessert, fruit jelly, from Jong-seong’s plate as if it were natural. It was so confident that the victim’s side was dumbfounded.

“Uh?”

“Hey, take it”

And the smile disappeared from Eden’s face when he saw it.

Just like the usual Zion. No, in fact, her face became more expressionless like Shion’s when she was angry.

At least, if expressionless expression was the default, like Shion, other people seemed unchanged and would not be able to recognize the worst except for the worst, but there was nothing more terrifying than Eden’s smiling broadly smiling face. In addition, the inorganic expressionless expression, which seemed to have few emotions, was even more frightening as it looked like a doll.

Eden put down the tableware he was eating and quietly spoke to Kwon Soon-wook.

“Hey, Kwon Soon-wook. Jong-seong give me back the jelly.”

“I don’t like it? And what if I eat some jelly?”

“That’s Jongseong’s share of jelly. You already have your share of jelly. You’re in a situation where you’re stealing food from others.”

That is exactly what Eden hates. For Eden, who likes to eat together, the act he hates the most is stealing and eating.

Of course, just because everyone eats together doesn’t mean it’s a communist mindset that means sharing equally. Eden doesn’t really care about working more and building wealth.

He only expresses his anger at the taking of someone else’s property. Those who are dissatisfied with their own share and covet others’ share are the objects that Eden hates.

“Okay, I’ll give it back”

While Kwon Soon-wook said that, he placed the jelly he was holding on the table and pressed it down with his palm.

As the plastic container was crushed, the contents that could not overcome the internal pressure burst out. The jellies that were scattered and scattered became impossible to eat.

Disregarding food was also one of the things Eden hated. The pulp of the fruit that went in to make that one jelly never grew to become garbage. Anger boils over it.

“Are you done now?”

Eden was about to explode at his sarcastic remarks. He did the things and acts he hated the most in front of his eyes at the same time and even ridiculed them.

But Eden’s personality resembles the worst. And worst of all, there was a part where, unexpectedly, he calmed down when his emotions escalated.

“I apologize to Jongseong. And clean up the jelly you messed up.”

“Nope?”

“I’m sorry. Then put it away.”

“No, bitch!”

Booung!!!!

Kwon Soon-wook’s fist swings. He’s a child’s fist, but he’s pretty sharp, so he’s at the level of being a red belt in Taekwondo. If hit, it will hurt quite a bit.

But to Eden, it looks like slow motion. His physical ability and body vision, strengthened by spiritual power, lightly dodged his swinging fist and grabbed his wrist.

“Uh?”

“Apologize and put it away”

With an expressionless face, Eden grabbed his wrist and did not let go. That was all.

A situation where it seemed like a fight had broken out, and dozens or hundreds of children flocking to eat lunch were staring at this direction, and the feeding lady was also absent.

It’s just the right timing. Eden gave strength to the hand that held his wrist. She’s pretty much even by her standards.

Deed Dede Deuk!!!!

“Kkeuh?!?! Quaaaaagh?!?!?!”

Soon-wook, who suffered as if his wrists were being crushed by Eden’s grip, screamed. On the outside, it was a strange scene of a strong boy screaming as the wrist was grabbed by a skinny girl.

“Let go!!!!! Let go of that hand!!!!!”

“Nope?”

“Fuck it!!!!!!”

“I don’t like it you bastard”

Eden returned exactly what Soonwook had just said. Unable to bear the pain, he punched Eden in the face with his other hand.

And without looking back, that fist also Eden grabbed his wrist. Likewise, Eden’s strong grip is held on the other wrist as well.

Pud de de de de deuk!!!!

“Oh ah ahhhhh !!!!!

In a situation where both hands were grabbed, no matter what he tried to do, he could only kick. Even that can’t get enough of the pain inflicted on his wrist, and he is just about to collapse while shedding tears.

“Cow, hand, let go of your hand. Please let me go!!!! I, I did it wrong!!! Because I did it wrong!!!!!! Heuuuuu…….!!!!!”

“Apologize, put it away”

“I’ll do it!!!! I’ll do it!!!!!”

Eden finally let go of his wrist. He was barely freed, but sobbed at his lingering pain.

And when the pain goes away to a certain extent, the cunning instinct of human beings is revealed. I thought that I had a different mindset when I went into the bathroom and when I left, and that if I attacked Eden now that the restraints were released, I might be able to win.

Anger at hurting his pride by procrastinating in front of so many children, and hatred for hurting him, the moment he was about to clench his fist, Eden sneaked up to him and said,

“Are there kids halfway through my grade watching here?”

“……..”

“If you want to take care of your flimsy pride, do it well. How far will you get ugly?”

Already he gave the girl the ugly look of finding her mother by grabbing her wrist and wringing it out. If you actually experience it, anyone will act like that, but at least the position of the onlooker is completely different.

And even from a child’s point of view. In the end, Eden fought and won. It was the school’s rule that the loser should act according to the opinion of the winner.

But still, if you do something like surprise here. Even so, the ugly appearance of Soon-wook will become even more ugly.

Even a child’s brain stained with pain could think that far. All that remains is to choose.

And Sunuk had no choice but to compromise.

“Mi-I’m sorry, Jongseong-ah…”

“Yeah, good job”

Eden finally laughed. She has a very refreshing smile, the exact opposite of her facial expression from before.

And that look of hers, no matter how much she wanted to deny it, she had a smile that looked just like her father.
