44. After bad weather (8)
Owned by the Ju-Oh Group, Ju-Oh Island.
When the world changed because of the Clash of Different Worlds and the ban on island trade was lifted, Ju-Oh Group bought a few uninhabited islands.
Ju-Oh Group named the island in the best location ‘Ju-Oh Island’ and built a non-profit purpose resort on it.
The sole purpose of that resort was to promote friendship between Ju-Oh Group’s selected VIPs and offer a place for them to rest.
If one had no connection to the Ju-Oh Group, no matter how much money they had, they wouldn’t be able to visit Ju-Oh Island.
Before, when Cymopoleia decided to return because of the abrupt incident, more people were disappointed rather than relieved.
And now, we were heading to the Ju-Oh Island.
‘I didn’t expect to go to the Ju-Oh Island for the Youth Training Camp.’
According to the whole Youth Training Camp schedule, Ju Su-hyeok invited the 1st year class 0, class 1 and class 2’s students and teachers to the Ju-Oh Island for four days and three nights.
No matter how he was the great-grandson of the current Ju-Oh Group’s head, renting the whole Ju-Oh Island during vacation season wouldn’t be simple, but as expected, he was worthy of the title hero.
‘Is it because Ju Su-hyeok’s position rose during the summer vacation?’
During summer vacation, Ju Su-hyeok was actively conquering the otherworlds.
Of course, he wasn’t just simply conquering otherworlds.
Solving things like the secret of the villa buried in the perpetual snow, purifying the remains left from the certain Jin tribe’s garden, the case of a series kidnappings disguised as running away from home, etc.
Was it because some of the incidents and people who made him mentally explode during the 1st semester were removed?
Ju Su-hyeok was growing and showing more of the actions worthy of the title hero than in the game.
It wouldn’t be bad to take a rest for now relying on the favor of the title hero, who had grown for the past weeks.
In name, it was a youth training camp, but because there was no schedule built on discipline and force, it was simply a trip.
“Guys-ah, you came!”
On the Son of Heaven deck, under the 2-tier parasol.
Kim Yuri vigorously waving her hand appeared.
Because Kim Yuri was in a short-sleeve t-shirt and wasn’t wearing any wrist accessory, her long arm was revealed in the sun.
Kim Yuri was still unable to completely control her Gwangrim and she couldn’t adjust the superpower wave’s load when using the attack skill.
However, perhaps the guidance of the chief shaman which Hwang Jiho attached to her was effective, she succeeded in suppressing the superpower waves enough that it was possible for her to live a normal life.
Before going to pick up Kim Yuri, Hwang Jiho spoke like this:
— We will stay around Kim Yuri to watch her for now. We received Her[1] permission.
— We thought of limiting Kim Yuri’s activities range to inside the divine realm of Eungwang School. When she goes outside of the divine realm, the chief shaman or superpower user of that level will be attached to her.
Hwang Jiho added to it with a confident face.
— Well, there won’t be any problems on this trip because this one is also going, right?
I hated to look at that overflowing with extreme confidence attitude, but I was reassured at the thought that this bastard was going to protect my Playable Character.
Looking at Kim Yuri who joyfully harmonized with the class children, I was also overjoyed.
‘I was worried that even after the Gwangrim sealing disappeared, Kim Yuri will keep wearing long-sleeve clothes, but I’m glad. It seems she is fine now.’
I saw a few of our class children behind Kim Yuri.
Kwon Lena, who stayed in the cabin when she was at Son of Heaven before to take care of Kim Yuri, who wasn’t feeling good.
Han Yi, who wasn’t here that day because she was doing volunteer work at the Eungwang Brilliant Light Children’s Home.
Even Min Guerin in the center of the children, who cover her face with the AR glasses and a hood.
The children, who boarded the Son of Heaven for the first time, or couldn’t enjoy sailing during the Youth Training Camp.
‘Hwang Jiho lent the Son of Heaven? That’s some good thinking.’
As Cheong-ho’s disciples were stationed in the children’s home every day doing chores, the manpower increased, so Han Yi could also join the trip this time.
I thought it would be a bit difficult for Min Geurin to come, but she said that she wanted to go first.
— There will be many people, but… Everyone will be from Eungwang School. As everyone from our class is going, I want to go too.
The Art Club seemed to be fine, but as if it was still difficult for her to deal with the class 1 and class 2’s children, with whom she had almost no contact with, Min Geurin hid between the class children.
She relied on the class children, the hood, AR glasses and Song Daeseok.
But compared to Min Guerin who ran away on the first day of the midterm exam because seven people were too many, it was amazing growth.
Min Geurin sometimes took a step back or stopped, but she was steadily moving forward.
“Let’s take a picture on the deck!”
“I’ll bring teacher Ham Geunhyeong-nim.”
“Where is Seeum?”
“He is flying with the vice homeroom teacher.”
In the sky, Yong Jegeon and Sawol Seeum were flying matching the speed of the boat.
As if Yong Jegeon regretted he couldn’t board the Cruiser, or in to other words Son of Heaven during the Youth Training Camp, he was diligently running around and playing.
Yong Jegeon, who was said to board Son of Heaven for the first time, annoyed Kim Sinrok by asking for a guidance.
Kim Sinrok in courteous, polite and roundabout manner expressed ‘I’m busy so get out and don’t act like we’re close in front of the students’, but Yong Jegeon diligently stuck to him.
Luckily, it was wrapped up when the kind Sawol Seeum volunteered to be a guide and asked to be taught the way to control the flight skill to match the speed of the boat.
That was Yong Jegeon, but currently, in our class there was a bigger troublemaker than Yong Jegeon.
“Hey, is Uram okay?”
After Kwon Lena worriedly asked, Mok Uram, who was sitting with his face in the icepack, jumped.
Mok Uram opened and closed his mouth a few times, and then stretched out on the sunbed again and covered his head with an icepack.
Seeing how he didn’t faint, it seems he got a bit accustomed to Kwon Lena.
“He doesn’t look okay.”
“Is this fucker sick somewhere?”
“Hahaha! Mok Uram is healthy.”
He would be probably fine if Kwon Lena didn’t speak to him.
Since we didn’t want to force Mok Uram to stand up, we decided to take a group picture on the well illuminated deck side, close to the sunbed where Mok Uram was stretched out.
… Was it really okay to take Mok Uram’s picture when he was out of his senses like this?
I had such doubts, but Mok Uram should like the picture taken together with Kwon Lena, probably.
“Teacher Kim Sinrok-nim, can you take a picture?”
“… The devices provided by Eungwang School have auto-shoot function.”
“But a picture taken by someone personally is different, you know? And it’s a group picture with the class kids.”
Yong Jegeon, who finished flying and appeared, caught on in the meantime and spoke to Kim Sinrok.
Kim Sinrok was making a kind teacher face as usual, but somehow his eyes were gradually turning eerie.
Kim Sinrok had a look saying that he wished to stab a thumbtack in Yong Jegeon’s tongue right now.
On the other hand, Yong Jegeon had a face like he was dying from happiness, even though it wasn’t his special ecstatic face.
‘Was Yong Jegeon’s personality like that?
He was more overflowing with mischievous and energetic than the Yong Jegeon I saw in the game.
It may be because his old close friend was alive unlike in the PMH’s development.
‘It seems that Yong Jegeon wants Kim Sinrok to reveal that he is a descendant and walk around openly.’
I recalled the words Yong Jegeon spoke when I saw Kim Sinrok’s real face in Hwang Myeong-ho’s great mansion.
— Ah, it’s your first time seeing that face? This one is his real face. Isn’t it much better? As he continues to change his identities, he also changes his face, but if he doesn’t do that and just lives exposed like me…
But even if Kim Sinrok revealed that he is a descendant, it wouldn’t be easy to reveal the face I saw.
As the Ho tribe and Ung tribe were at odds like before, it seemed difficult to show the face that was a spitting image of Jeok-ho and Ungnyeo of Grief to the world in the current situation.
“Let’s stand here!”
“Uh, there are no people right now. Let’s take a picture quickly.”
The children, excluding Mok Uram, who was suffering from something like a sunstroke on the sunbed, gathered.
Besides the children, there were also the homeroom and vice homeroom teachers, teacher Ham Geunhyeong-nim and Yong Jegeon.
“I’m taking picture on three, two…”
When the children put their strength into their eyes, as if trying to avoid taking a picture with closed eyes.
Before Kim Sinrok’s countdown ended, Hwang Jiho, Yong Jegeon and Ham Geunhyeong suddenly looked towards Kim Yuri.
‘This…!’
A powerful superpower wave, that was tied around Kim Yuri before, flickered for a second.
Soon the powerful superpower wave exploded around Kim Yuri and disappeared beyond the deck.
The instant the exploding superpower wave touched the sea surface.
Paat! Chink!
The sea surface swayed lightly, and then after a moment, a water pillar and a fountain rose high into the air.
As the fountain was small compared to the size of the Son of Heaven, it wasn’t enough to disrupt the sailing, but it was enough to soak our backs.
“Ack, cold!”
“What?!”
The children who reacted late were showered in water.
There were only a few children who noticed the fountain rising early and put on the superpower wave, or like me reflexively wrapped their bodies in the superpower wave and were fine.
“Hahahaha! Is everyone refreshed?!”
“Only that lunatic fucker isn’t wet.”
“No, Uisin also isn’t wet! As expected, Uisin is amazing!” [2]
Hwang Jiho laughed happily as if he knew something like that would happen.
Han Yi, who was soaked in seawater, quietly glared at Hwang Jiho.
“….”
“Hahahaha! Do you want me to lend you a towel?”
“No need.”
“Hahahahaha!”
That geezer was happy.
Looking at the scene, it seemed that she roughly acted like this even during her days as Cheong-ho.
I saw Kim Sinrok, who was Cheong-ho’s disciple, look at Han Yi and Hwang Jiho with a complicated expression.
As the tigers, which one was his master and one was like his uncle, became students and were acting like this, it seemed that his mood was subtle.
“Guys-ah, sorry… there is one a bit mischievous higher being, and they seem to want to make a good background, so they moved the superpower wave on their own.”
Kim Yuri, who was soaked in seawater the most, made an apologetic face.
Because the higher beings connected to water stuck to Kim Yuri, if she came close to water, it would be a bit difficult to control her superpower waves.
“It’s as Yuri said. The background came out pretty.”
“Heuk, that’s true.”
“Let’s me see it too!”
After Min Geurin, who checked the picture together with Song Daeseok, spoke, Kim Sinrok sent a photo to each of our devices.
Because the people who looked towards Kim Yuri, the line was a bit scattered, but the scene of the water droplets reflecting sunlight pouring down looked dreamy.
“Ask them to do it one more time!”
“If it’s fine with Yuri, can we do it again?”
“Right! Even if we get wet, there is a whole body drier in the cabin and the weather also is nice, won’t our clothes also dry quickly?”
Kim Yuri, who was hesitating, smiled as she replied:
“Ok! I’ll ask!”
While Kim Yuri calmed down her superpower wave and appeased the higher being, the children made a line again.
“I’ll also block it with a superpower wave this time.”
“Wrapping the superpower wave around the body is a bit difficult.”
“Hahahaha! Should I make a barrier?”
Like this, we took several group pictures.
There were several pictures with Mok Uram stretched on the sunbed on the side, but luckily when we took pictures, he wasn’t unconscious, so the group pictures came out pretty good.
‘It’s quite different from the picture taken on the Son of Heaven before.’
The previous time, during the Youth Training Camp, there were only a few people to take a group picture on the Son of Heaven.
Because there were many 1st year class 0’s members who couldn’t come, or were in the cabin or were hiding in the sky.
That day only six people took a picture on the deck, me, Hwang Jiho, Maeng Hyodon, Sawol Seeum, Song Daeseok and teacher Ham Geunhyeong-nim.
Looking at the group picture where the people were doubled, I was filled with a strange feeling[3].
While I looked at the pictures several times, the Son of Heaven arrived at the Ju-Oh Island.
*~*~*
[1] Her — Hm. Okay, so the word used is 본인 (bonin meaning ‘a person the topic is about’) which doesn’t exactly mean that Hwang-ho is respectful, but it has a more official, formal feeling than other words that could be used here. It’s something you would often see in official or legal statements. Jo Uisin is also using it in his narration.
[2] “No, Uisin also isn’t wet! As expected, Uisin is amazing!” — Sawol Seeum’s sentence.
[3] strange feeling — or subtle, or ambiguous, or marvelous.
Translator’s note: Jo Uisin. That’s happiness, and you’re allowed to have it.
