Gong Cheong-hwon was a popular teacher because he had everything he needed: personality, attitude toward students, teaching ability, talent, appearance, and voice.

However, not many students enrolled in Gong Cheong-hwon’s Enemy Studies class.

If you studied hard, you wouldn’t fail most classes, but even if you attended every class, previewed and reviewed, and completed assignments, the difficulty of Gong Cheong-hwon’s tests was extremely high, making it very likely that you would fail.

That’s why among Gong Cheong-hwon’s students, there were many who didn’t attend classes formally but chose to listen to lectures online instead of being evaluated.

In other words, since there were only a few students who actually attended classes, it was easy to tell if they were absent.

“Didn’t you have something to do with the other students?”

Baek-ho held back a laugh at the word student.

Baek-ho, Hwang-ho, Cheong-ho, and Jo Ui-shin were not old enough to be considered high school students in terms of actual age.

Hwang Ho laughed, saying, “There is no age limit to learning! Hahaha!” as if he was having fun going to school with his friends, but Jeok Ho criticized him for having no conscience, and Jo Ui Shin silently thought that Hwang Ji Ho was acting old.

Baek Ho jumped from the slide to the floor to hide his crooked eyes, but Gong Cheong Hwon, who had a keen eye, saw that he was about to laugh.

Gong Cheong Hwon felt relieved while looking at his face.

“It looks like things went well since you look happy.”

“Yes, it ended well.”

Baek Ho looked up at Gong Cheong Hwon with his body lowered right after landing and said.

Even the arrogant Baek Ho was polite to the newcomer.

Also, since they were a teacher and a student, people outside were somewhat concerned.

Whenever Jo Ui-shin saw such a sight at school, he would sarcastically think, “Did you know that white tiger knows how to use honorifics?” and at the same time, he would think, “Even with that much strength, he shows the true character of a strong man by being polite to a newcomer,” which made Baek-ho laugh.

That’s why he treated Gong Cheong-hwan even more politely in front of Jo Ui-shin, and Jo Ui-shin, who realized that his thoughts were being read, threw the canned drink at him and got annoyed.

“A really strong tiger just jumped from a high place!”

“He can jump from even higher places.”

“Wow!”

The height of the slide was less than 2 meters, so it was nothing to Baek-ho, but to Ye Beom-yeong, an elementary school student, it seemed high, so he thought it was amazing how he could jump down so easily.

Baek-ho liked Ye Beom-yeong’s compliment.

Ye Beom-yeong was a classmate of Hwang-ho, Heuk-ho, and Jae-ho, and was Jo-ui-shin’s playable character, and he was also honest and smart, so Baek-ho also had a crush on him.

Baek-ho lightly picked up Ye Beom-yeong, who was hanging on his arm, and threw him high into the air and caught him repeatedly, wanting to play with him. Ye Beom-yeong laughed and liked it, but Gong Cheong-hwan’s expression was not bright.

If Ye Beom-yeong hadn’t shown signs of being lonely today, Baek-ho would have lightly and highly thrown Ye Beom-yeong into the air and caught him, enough to stop him.

If Baek-ho wasn’t sure that Ye Beom-yeong would miss him, he would have stopped that dangerous throwing and catching game a long time ago.

“I was lonely because many of the kids in my class were absent today. Thank you for playing with me.”

“No.”

“Really? It would be better to say that Baek-ho played with me rather than playing with me. You must have had some work to do, but did you come here because you wanted to skip class and play with your child?” There was a lot of substance in Gong Cheong-hwan’s words.

No matter how well things ended, there must be a lot of work to be done, so why are you playing around?

If you’re just going to play, you should at least come to class.

That’s what Gong Cheong-hwan’s words were interpreted as.

Thanks to Eun-ho, Baek-ho, who had become good at reading the hidden meaning of soft words, immediately figured it out and answered.

“I came because I have something to do.”

Gong Cheong-hwan was puzzled by Baek-ho’s words.

There was nothing for Baek-ho to do here.

This place had nothing to do with this incident, and Gong Cheong-hwan had no place to go, so he was here now.

The teachers who were leading the third graders had left Eun-gwang High School, and since Yong-je-geon was also involved in this case, it was concluded that it would be unnatural and difficult to deploy more teachers.

And even if the possibility of targeting Eun-gwang High School or the person concerned was low, it couldn’t be considered zero.

That is why, in preparation for this operation, the main force of the clan was away, so in order to prevent the descendants of Eunho from being attacked and taken hostage in Eun-gwang-gu, they decided to take a break from school.

In the first grade, Class 0, Jo Ui-shin had missed school for a few days, and many students were absent because they didn’t feel like going to school, so Eunseo-ho and Eun-i-ho’s absences were not noticed.

Even though Gong Cheong-hwon, the homeroom teacher, knew about the situation, he felt complicated when he saw the empty classrooms, but he was cautious when he was in school and visited the daycare center where he usually volunteered, increasing his patrol time.

“Is it difficult to do something in front of Beom-yeong? It’s almost time to eat, so you should wash up and change your clothes.”

Gong Cheong-hwon said to Ye Beom-yeong as if trying to appease him.

Ye Beom-yeong still looked like he wanted to play more, but all the children in the daycare center listened to Gong Cheong-hwon, who was like an older brother or uncle, so he quickly answered, “Yes!”

Ye Beom-yeong let go of Baek-ho’s arm and tried to run into the orphanage building, but Baek-ho caught him.

Ye Beom-yeong, who secretly wanted to stay here longer, quickly stopped in his seat and looked at Gong Cheong-hwan.

“Do you need Beom-yeong for that job?”

“Yes.”

“How about explaining it in more detail?”

“It’s faster to just do it.”

Gong Cheong-hwan quietly looked at Baek-ho.

Eun-ho was in charge of nagging Baek-ho when he did something stupid, but sometimes the new person would talk to him directly.

Before saying that, he would always watch him first.

Baek-ho knew that excuses wouldn’t work, so he would always send Jeok-ho or Hwang-ho, who had been in the same accident as him, as a substitute and leave.

Since there was no close friend here to listen to his nagging, Baek-ho decided to do what he had been planning to do quickly.

Baekho pushed up Yebeomyeong’s sleeve slightly.

Then, his wrist was revealed, revealing the sealing technique that sealed Yebeomyeong’s Gwangrim.

It was a technique designed for Yebeomyeong, who was in a state where Gwangrim was always unfolding.

“Student Baekho, what are you trying to do?”

“I know when I see it.”

Before Gong Cheong-hwon could pour out his accumulated complaints, Baekho poured his supernatural power over the sealing technique.

As the pure white supernatural power wrapped around Yebeomyeong’s wrist, the light of the sealing technique temporarily lost its power.

Gong Cheong-hwon thought that the sealing technique would be broken by that ignorant supernatural power, but the form of the technique did not collapse.

Baekho could have broken the sealing technique at any time, but he had temporarily neutralized it by adding or subtracting power exquisitely.

Ye Bum-yeong didn’t know what was happening and stared at Baekho’s power wave. Soon, he unconsciously developed Gwangrim and opened his eyes wide at Baekho.

“Wow! White tiger! It’s a very strong white tiger!”

“You’re good at seeing things.”

Did he want to show off and show off to Ye Bum-yeong, who could see through the essence of the target, that he was the best Baekho in the Hojok clan?

Gong Cheong-hwan had a sharp thought without realizing it.

However, Baekho’s purpose didn’t seem to be to show off his true self.

Baekho lightly lifted Ye Bum-yeong’s body, who was shouting, “Let’s play with the white tiger!” and turned it around to face Gong Cheong-hwan.

Perhaps thinking it was some kind of game, Ye Bum-yeong didn’t feel dizzy and was happy.

“Do it one more time!”

“If you tell me what you see now, I’ll do it.”

“Teacher Gong Cheong-hwan and the daycare center!”

“Look at the teacher more closely.”

Ye Beom-yeong took a close look at Gong Cheong-hwon as instructed.

Gong Cheong-hwon couldn’t figure out why Baek-ho was doing such a thing.

Ye Beom-yeong was a child who came from a different orphanage, so the time they knew each other was shorter than Cheong-ho or the other children, but they had plenty of time to interact with each other.

Ye Beom-yeong was incredibly good at picking out the clans, but he never said anything about Gong Cheong-hwon.

‘The clans treat me like a new person, but I guess there’s no trace of that left on me.’

According to Hwang-ho, when Gong Cheong-hwon was using his supernatural power, he felt Cheong-ho’s protection.

However, he didn’t seem to feel anything that could specifically identify him as a new person during normal times.

If Gong Cheong-hwon had some kind of energy even during normal times, someone from the clans or someone with Eun Gwang-go’s outstanding supernatural power would have said something a long time ago.

Still, Ye Beom-yeong was so special that he couldn’t assume that he wouldn’t feel anything.

Even Yeom Jun-yeol didn’t notice Hwang Ho’s presence when he wasn’t concentrating, but Ye Beom-yeong had the power to see through the other person’s true nature with just a glance.

If Ye Beom-yeong, who was like that, took the time to look closely at Gong Cheong-hwon, he might find something.

Ye Beom-yeong opened his gentle eyes wide and looked at Gong Cheong-hwon.

“Hmm... They’re mixed!”

“What’s mixed?”

“Light and shadow! They’re really mixed well!”

Baek-ho wasn’t surprised, as if he had expected Ye Beom-yeong’s words.

Gong Cheong-hwon was also concerned, but he wasn’t that shaken.

Even though he knew he was involved with a new person, he somehow accepted it naturally, and that was the case with those words now.

Rather than being surprised, he felt the word ‘shadow’ sinking deep into his heart.

“Remember the shape of the mixed light and shadow well.”

“It’s hard, but I’ll do it!”

Baekho, who had suppressed Yebeomyeong's sealing technique, played with the child as promised.

Baekho threw Yebeomyeong down the slide and then quickly teleported down to catch him, which was a crazy thing to do.

Gong Cheong-hwon couldn't focus on the situation in front of him because he was thinking about the shadow, but he couldn't stand to watch him do that, so he said, "Stop it," with the power of his words.

Baekho stopped only after hearing those words.

"Are you trying to see my true nature through Beomyeong? Was it more important than today's work?"

"In terms of priorities, it's not, but today's work was all done safely, and my friends are doing a [N O V E L I G H T] good job of cleaning up."

"I guess it was something that had to be done."

"There are always a lot of tigers around here, so when there are fewer clans and there's nothing to do, I told Yebeomyeong to look at you."

Yebeomyoung was a good kid, but he had a childish side.

When Gwangrim's power was unleashed, he was distracted by the tiger, so he went home.

It was hard to see Gong Cheong-hwan because he was busy.

Still, there was no need to come now, but Baekho seemed to dislike the way he was playing, even though he didn’t know who had ordered him to do so.

Gong Cheong-hwan asked.

“Who asked Ye Beom-yeong to look after me?”

“I am the one who gave protection.”

Baekho had not tried to hide the fact that he had given protection to Jo Ui-sin, so Gong Cheong-hwan knew this.

Gong Cheong-hwan asked in a puzzled manner.

“A student of Ui-sin? When did that happen?”

“When I was asleep.”

If Jo Ui-sin was asleep right now, he would have protested, saying, “Stop talking nonsense and come listen to the other tigers’ nagging,” thanks to the protection.

However, Jo Ui-sin was awake and surrounded by tigers, so he couldn’t say anything to Baekho.

He said, holding back laughter as he heard Jo Eui-shin lose his senses at the sound of the Red Cliff Bandit.

Baek-ho told Jo Eui-shin what he had been thinking in his dream.

“You received half from your younger brother, so I said you would have the clue to the spirit.”
