Chapter 1544 – [Life as a Senior in High School After Completing the CSAT]

Time passed and Eden’s graduation ceremony arrived.

Today is a special day. We’ve had entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies several times, but it’s like an event where Eden has completed compulsory education and become an adult.

Eden took out her school uniform for the first time in a while and prepared to attend the graduation ceremony. Of course, me and Sion as well.

“It’s Eden’s high school graduation ceremony… It’s a new feeling.”

“It’s proof that children will one day become adults. They will always be children in our eyes.”

“I am now an adult and a transcendent person!!!!”

“Maybe even if Eden becomes a negalord, her mom and dad will still see her as a child.”

Shion even took her camera and prepared to take pictures of her Eden all day today. She was like that at other times, but today she is especially different, so she pays more attention.

Afterward, we headed to school. Daemyung High School, which Eden attended for three years… Now it is time to leave here.

It seemed like only yesterday that I entered school, but now I am graduating. Time flies.

When we arrived at the school, it was crowded with people. Perhaps because they were also parents attending their children’s graduation ceremonies, I felt a strange sense of kinship.

“It looks like there are some kids who didn’t come.”

“So?”

“I guess they didn’t come because it was a hassle, or there were some boys who couldn’t come because they had to go to the military.”

“Wow.”

“I think I will worry a lot about sending my son to the military when I have a son.”

“No, what are you thinking about son already?”

“Wow!!! The late baby brother!!!!”

“Even though she was born now, there is an age difference, so I think my daughter will be happy and raise her like a son.”

“Maybe so.”

Siblings, who are naturally not that different in age, fight all the time. If we were of a similar age, we would have similar thoughts and thoughts, but we have no choice but to fight. It is especially at its peak during puberty.

However, if the age difference is large, the law is different. Even though we are only 10 years apart, my older sister was 18 when my younger brother entered elementary school. When her younger brother’s head grows to a certain extent, the older sister becomes an adult and goes out into society. By then, she is at the level of a son rather than a younger brother.

Especially if our Eden is so kind, she will feed her little brother to the point where he might wonder if his stomach will burst and he will die. Like a grandmother on a holiday.

“But are you really thinking about your little brother?”

“Mom is there, but your dad is putting it off.”

“No, even if you raise him, you can’t raise him here. By the time the baby is born, Eden and I will come out and be known to the world as the son of a flawed son and the sister of the Wakamo shrine maiden.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“But you’re not completely thoughtless either.”

“At least not now.”

Even though Eden was born, Zion thought it would be nice to have more children of her own, and I also thought about providing for her.

Just having another child does not guarantee that the child will be a boy. Originally, when Eden was born, you could have decided on her race or something like that, but she was just born randomly.

In the first place, a child is not born with such things decided in advance. What’s important is how much love you care for your child.

Anyway, after talking about various things, we entered the school gymnasium where the graduation ceremony was held with Eden. Since it’s indoors, it’s a noisy place where kids talk a word, but it’s a strange feeling to think that it’s the last time.

No, I think Eden feels this more than me. It’s a place I’ve only seen a few times, but Eden must have used it every time I had a class.

“Then I’ll come to the graduation ceremony. See you later!!!”

“Okay, see you later.”

“If you need to take a picture after it’s over, please tell mom. I brought a camera too.”

“Okay!!!!”

Graduates take their seats. Parents also sit in a separate area and watch their children’s graduation ceremony.

Speaking of graduation ceremonies, I have seen elementary school and middle school graduation ceremonies, but the atmosphere was different now. Children who came to the graduation ceremony on their own would at least know what today means.

Eventually, the time came, and the graduation ceremony began in earnest. The opening ceremony begins with the national anthem, and since it is a graduation ceremony these days, we even watch a separate video.

The video is the graduation ceremony of the graduates so far. The graduates who have attended this school so far… And this year’s protagonists were not anyone else but those who are here now.

Well done. But the further you go, the longer the video becomes. Well, it feels like watching something like school history, so it might be better.

Next was the principal’s speech. It’s a familiar yet boring thing, but at least today was a little different. When you think of it as the end, everything feels new.

“Well, I would like to express my sincere congratulations to the parents and graduates who gathered here today. The graduates who graduated without any problems over the past three years are now ready to go out into society or go on to college…”

No, let me correct that. Boring is boring.

It’s a good word, but if it lasts for more than ten minutes while you’re just listening, it’s just boring.

Principal, please be reasonable on a day like today. No, is it actually longer because it’s a day like today? It’s a special day because it won’t be any different over there.

But eventually time passes. The long sermon came to an end, and soon we moved on to the next stage, where there was a diploma award ceremony.

Of course, it is not given all at once, but the representative goes out and receives it. I wondered who would be the valedictorian, but it was no one else but our Eden.

“Ms. Eden Choi will be awarded the diploma as the representative of the graduating class. The above student was the only student in the country to get a perfect score on last year’s CSAT, and is a student who has enhanced the school’s reputation by advancing to Seoul National University.”

“Ugh, good. Shion, take a lot of pictures.”

“It’s still like that.”

It’s a good thing to do well and become a representative. Hey, there will be a rumor throughout the neighborhood that our Eden is good at studying. No, it probably happened a long time ago.

Eden went as a representative and received a diploma. Her body and appearance are so mature that it cannot be said that she is a child who has just become an adult, but perhaps that makes her even more attractive. In addition to Zion taking pictures with his camera, I also take videos with my cell phone.

I never thought the day would come when our Eden would graduate from high school… It’s such an amazing thing. Even though I see it right in front of my eyes, it doesn’t feel real.

While I was blankly taking pictures, the diploma presentation was over, and soon it was time to move on to the next step. Today’s protagonists are definitely the graduates, but the teachers who took care of those graduates, so they could graduate are also today’s protagonists.

Each teacher who worked hard comes out to say hello and give them a bouquet of flowers that we had prepared in advance. In one way or another, it is a heartwarming sight.

After a few turns, the graduation ceremony slowly came to an end. The graduation ceremony ends with the school song being sung again.

“This concludes the graduation ceremony. Dear graduates, you have worked hard over the past three years. Thank you.”

Soon, loud cheers are heard. The children also feel happy that they have graduated.

The graduation ceremony itself is over, but the event is not over. Honestly, it’s not a good idea to just go home like this.

First, Zion and I decided to join Eden. Eden was receiving a bouquet of flowers from her juniors along with her diploma, and before she knew it, her arms were filled with bouquets.

“Our Eden is very popular.”

“I will surpass high school students!!!! WRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!”

“No, don’t say anything a vampire would say.”

“Now, I have completely escaped my senior year of high school. It can be said that I am a full-fledged adult.”

“Oh, that’s right. I want to take a graduation photo with other kids. Is that okay?”

“Do whatever you want. Let’s meet a friend and take a picture together.”

It is rare for her to visit her alma mater outside of her thoughts. Because of busy social life or other reasons, it’s a good idea to keep some photos to remember.

We started taking photos of Eden outside her gym with her friends to commemorate her graduation. Take pictures in front of statues or stairs at school, with various school facilities in the background.

“Then let’s take a picture. One, two, three!!!”

“Vienna sausage kimchi fried rice!!!!”

“There was a lot of stuff in it except kimchi.”

It took Eden a long time to take pictures, perhaps because she had good connections. That’s because we have to film just the two of us, film together, and even film the same kids multiple times at once.

We took some pictures, but there were also some pictures taken by the parents of the children we were taking pictures with. Eden took pictures with her children without any discrimination, and she took pictures with them in their entirety without using her usual spirit form ability to avoid being photographed.

“The boys will keep their graduation photos for the rest of their lives.”

“There will be an uproar if I post that on the internet.”

“It’s no problem!!!! Create an Instagram account right away!!!!”

“You’re playing a player. I appreciate my daughter’s ability to act.”

Until now, I have avoided exposure to media such as photos and videos, but now I will actively participate. Maybe that’s why Eden took a normal photo to commemorate her graduation, and she can also use SNS.

To be honest, I thought it was strange that a girl in her prime didn’t even have a social media account… But now I feel relieved.

“Hey!!! Eden!!!!”

“Oh, Minji. Where have you been?”

“I came here to meet my parents for a moment. But you said you could take a picture with the kids? Is that okay?”

“It’s okay now.”

“Wow, I’m scared of what will happen later. Once the rumor spreads, both strange and famous people will be interested.”

“What do you think?”

“Well…”

Minji gave me a quick look and blurted out her words. Then she bowed her head and greeted me.

Among Eden’s friends, Minji is one of the few who knows the identities of Eden and me. She reacts that way because she knows that even if a problem arises later, she has the power to overcome it.

“What about Dahee?”

“Dahee will be here soon too. I came because you asked me to meet you here. Ah, here he comes!!!”

Dahee, Eden’s old childhood friend, also walked here holding a bouquet of flowers. If you think about it, that kid also got into Seoul National University along with Eden. It’s just that the faculties are different.

Still, there is nothing wrong with having a friend who goes to the same school as you. It’s actually better, and I don’t have to eat alone. But I don’t think Eden can eat alone in the first place because there are so many people.

“Ah, uncle, ma’am. Hello?”

“Yes, Dahee. I heard you got accepted to Seoul National University too? Congratulations.”

“No. Rather… Um.”

“Dahee, what are you trying to say?”

“You did better on the CSAT than me.”

“What’s wrong with only getting two questions wrong?”

“Is there a big difference?!”

Dahee got 2 questions wrong on the CSAT… Well, even so, if she did well, she did well. In the first place, the reason I got two questions wrong on the CSAT was not the name of someone’s dog, but a grade 1 was a confirmed score.

However, from Dahee’s perspective, it seemed a bit annoying that Eden, who had better grades than her, applied to a department with less competition.

“The competition for business administration was fierce this time, but you can go to the wide-ranging food and nutrition department… And go to a better place, right?”

“I want to cook!!!! Not touch money!!!!!”

“… Let me stop talking.”

Dahee’s tone seemed like she was fighting, but her true intentions were because she was worried about Eden. If you go to the same university, it’s better to choose a department with a promising future, but I’m thinking of Eden who chose the minor.

What a good friend. I think I understand why Eden and I have been friends for a long time and have remained close friends.

“Let’s take a commemorative photo while we’re together!!!”

“If I take a picture with you, it will come out ugly!!!!”

“Hey, what’s wrong? We can just look at it among ourselves. Gather together!!!!”

Eden gathered together with Minji and Dahee and looked towards the camera. Shion smiles faintly and takes a commemorative photo of their graduation.

“Then I’ll take a picture. One, two, three!!!”

“Quattro Cheese Whopper!!!!”

“Aside from the cheese, there was a lot of stuff in it… No, it’s okay.”

Snap!!!

And a commemorative graduation photo was taken that will remain with the children for a lifetime. It’s an ordinary photo of three people, but on the other hand, a photo that captures that time in the past will bring back memories of that time every time you look at it again.

Time that has passed does not come back. No, although our faction’s Four Heavenly Kings are the absolutes of the beginning and origin, they still rarely come back. So the only time you can feel that emotion is then.

“It’s the university entrance ceremony again in a few days. Ah!!! I’m busy!!!!”

“You’ll be busier once you enroll. They say Seoul National University is strict about studying and maintaining grades.”

“Hey, when you guys talk about that, I feel sad that I didn’t go to college.”

“Minji, how do you get a job or something like that?”

“I got you a job as a manager. Manager, did you understand my schedule well?”

“Yes, of course, master.”

I wonder if I could get her a job through my connections, but Eden will become famous, and then there will be various temptations and deals for that manager as well. In such a situation, she can trust her close friends more than others, so there is room for trouble.

At least he doesn’t seem like a kid who would betray himself for money. Moreover, I don’t think Eden will give me a little bit of salary.

“After I finish, I’m going to go to a Chinese restaurant and eat a full course of Chinese food. How about you guys?”

“Uh… Chinese food is greasy and that makes you gain weight.”

“Don’t you only gain weight in your chest or buttocks? If you lose weight, it starts from your waist.”

“Wow, I really want to hit you so fucking hard…!!!!”

“Anyway, let’s go together!!! On a day like today, it’s a Chinese restaurant!!!!”

Anyway, that’s how Eden’s graduation ceremony came to an end. Now she is completely out of high school and going out into the world.

I’ve been busy so far, but I’m going to get busier in the future. But on the other hand, I am a little excited because it will be completely different from my quiet daily life.

Only the absolute one of fate knows what kind of future will come.

… Suddenly I became really anxious.
