This is the first day of elementary school after the entrance ceremony.

I changed into the clothes my mom coordinated for me last night, fixed my hair, and looked in the mirror.

In your opinion, isn’t it a pretty face?

He has such a young face that I can’t say for sure, but if he takes good care of himself, he could become a handsome man.

Could it be that the bastard was hiding this kind of truth in his voluminous flesh?

I didn’t know, so I just ate it like that.

Or maybe the scoundrel didn’t have this kind of face.

I have put in a lot of effort since ancient times.

For fear of his mouth popping out, he never bit a pacifier, never bit his fingernails, and never rested his chin on his hand since he was a newborn.

I also took regular naps during the day, massaged my growth plates before going to bed, and didn’t even chew gum.

At this point, won’t the heavens be impressed by my efforts and give me a handsome face?

Actually, I take after my mother a lot, so I think there’s a good chance that I’ll be handsome as long as I don’t do anything weird.

Anyway, I was told to be at school by 8: 50, so if I leave now, at 8: 30, I think I’ll be able to get there on time.

“Mom, I’m going out.”

“Take care and come back safe. Make some friends!”

By the way, my mom is worried because I don’t have any friends other than Minjun.

No matter how much my body dominated my mind, my mental age was far from matching that of a seven-year-old.

Elementary school may seem difficult, but as you get closer to adulthood, you will naturally be able to make friends.

Well, actually, I didn’t have any friends in my past life either, so if you have them, you have them, and if you don’t, you don’t.

Still, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have.

That’s how the first day of school began.

The noise from next door while waiting for the elevator told Minjun from the first day that he would be late.

“Kim Minjun!!!”

Even if Minjun’s mother had taken up vocal music, wouldn’t she have been good at it?

The shouting is clearly audible even though the front door is closed. What a powerful voice.

As Minjun walked down the street, amazed by his mother’s voice, I began to see quite a few elementary school students like me.

There were some children who were freshmen and whose mothers brought them there, and there were also children who seemed to be family and went together despite the age difference.

When I arrived at the classroom and observed the children, I saw a variety of children, including some who were awkward because it was their first day and just sat there, and some who were noisy and chattered together as if they had come from the same kindergarten.

I was sitting in an empty seat about halfway through when the teacher came in.

“Hi kids. Do you remember me from two days ago? I’m Song Ji-hyo, your homeroom teacher. Please sit anywhere. Since there’s no class president, skip the greetings for a moment. Why don’t you stand up? The teacher will tell you your attendance number. Just sit there. Okay? ”

“”Yes””

“1 Kang Hyun-jae 2… 3…”

My attendance number is 12, so I sit down in my seat according to my attendance number.

After a while, a girl who seemed to have princess complex, wearing a princess-like dress and even a headband, sat down next to me and glanced at me.

Since ancient times, if you treat children with princess syndrome well, they will be in big trouble.

I realized that if I did that to the kids in kindergarten who were trying to get my lips wet, I would be in big trouble.

“1 Can you be the temporary class president?”

“Yes.”

“When the teacher comes in and says ‘hello’, you should just say ‘Attention! Salute the teacher!’ Okay?”

“Yes.”

“The rest of the kids, since I’m currently the temporary class president, you can just salute me and say hello, okay guys? ”

“”Yes.””

“Let’s try it. Right now.”

“Attention! Salute the teacher.”

“”Hello.””

“That’s right. Good job! From now on, I’ll greet you like this during morning assembly and take attendance. Got it?’

“”Yes.””

“Okay, now it might be awkward, but let’s say hello to each other and tell each other our names.”

Is this what a 17 vs. 17 group meeting feels like?

I thought it would be noisy, but it was quieter than I thought.

“Hello. I’m Shin Yuri.“

A partner suddenly greets you from the side.

“Yes. I am Seo Jae-hoon.”

“Where do you live?”

“Why?”

“…Just?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Yeah.”

“…..”

“Do you have any questions?”

“Do you like Snow White?”

“Yeah!!”

“Do you think you’re pretty?”

“A little bit? Why?”

“I just thought I would be pretty.”

“Am I pretty?”

“No. It’s like the beginning stages of princess syndrome, just like Bowen.”

“…..”

There was no further conversation with my partner.

Since you said a little bit, it was the beginning.

I feel a little sorry for that kid, but if you’re a Snow White fan with the early stages of princess syndrome, you’ll have to act as bad as possible to keep your lips shut.

“There is no class today, but I will hand out textbooks. You can take them home or put them in a drawer, okay? ”

“”Yes.””

“You can each take one book in front of you. There are just the right number of people, so come out in order of your attendance number and take one per subject! It’s too heavy to take all at once, so if your partner goes out next to you, go out with them and carry them!”

The children return to their seats with their books, with their partners, according to their attendance numbers.

When it was my turn to go out, I got up and Shin Yuri also got up next to me.

As I went forward and picked up the books one by one to build a tower, someone spoke to me.

“Give me some too. I’ll help you.”

“It’s okay. I can do it by myself.”

“The teacher asked me to help. Give me some too.”

“I said it’s okay? I said I can lift it by myself?”

“The teacher told me to help you!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

I handed over all the books I was holding and went back to my seat.

Shin Yuri carrying it, groaning as if it was heavy.

If you act this badly, you won’t even try to bite my lips.

Since these lips were not saved to be given to elementary school students, they should be nibbed off in the bud beforehand.

After a while, Shin Yuri got up and I followed her. Like me, she built a tower and returned to her seat with three of the eight books.

I did my best to show that I was not bad, so this should be enough. I hoped that Shin Yuri, who returned to her seat and pretended to be angry while puffing out her cheeks, would not let the princess syndrome go from the early stages to the middle stages while casting a sneer.

“We’re finishing early today, but starting tomorrow, we’ll have regular classes and lunch will be served in the classroom starting this year, so there might be parents who want to pack lunches just in case, so please make sure to tell them! Got it?”

“”Yes.“”

“Don’t be late tomorrow, just sit where you are now! Everyone, go home safely and see you tomorrow!”

“”Yes.“”

The kids excitedly ran out carrying their bags, and I slowly got up, carried my bag, and headed home.

As I was walking home the same way I came in the morning, I felt like someone was watching me from behind. I looked back to see if it was the early stages of princess syndrome that was following me.

“Jaehoon, what class are you in?”

It was Minjun who approached while waving his hand.

“You in class 2?”

“I’m in class 6!!”

“Okay. Let’s go home.”

“Yeah!! But do you know that guy?”

“Who?”

“That girl was looking at you?”

Shin Yuri is hiding behind a streetlight and looking at you. Princess disease is indeed dangerous.

“Why are you following me?”

“Because you didn’t tell me where you were!”

“Why are you curious about my house?”

“I just asked, but you didn’t tell me!”

“No. It’s a secret. Go back.”

“Why is the house a secret!!”

“Their house is over there, the apartment next door to us!”

Minjun, who is not helpful, interfered again today.

“Really? Thanks. Are you Jaehoon’s friend?”

“Yeah. We’ve been friends since we were five.”

“Then let’s be friends with me too!”

“Yeah!!”

“Then I’ll go now. Bye!”

“Yeah. See you later!”

Huh? Isn’t this a chance to shake off my princess complex?

Minjun, who is not helpful, seems like he will be helpful.

“You don’t have a girlfriend right now, right?”

“Huh? No, why?”

“How was he just now? He was so affectionate and nice.”

“Umm… Mom told me not to date just anyone?”

“She’s not just anyone. She’s my only partner in the class.”

“Really? Then I’ll think about it!”

“Okay. Good idea! Let’s go.”

I think I can shake off the princess syndrome tomorrow if I talk to Minjun like a prince.

“Son!! Are you here?”

After breaking up with Minjun and coming home, my mom came running out of the room as if she had been waiting for me.

“How was elementary school? Did you make any friends?”

“No. I finished early so I don’t have any friends and it’s the first day so I don’t know.”

“My son needs to make some friends too!”

“Okay. Let’s go register for the workout quickly.”

“You have to eat before you go.”

Today is finally the day to register for the workout.

My mom said no more than three and only allowed two.

So I thought, maybe I can learn kicking and punching from one place, and I found one.

Namely kickboxing.

This is literally a space to learn kicking and punching at the same time.

After kickboxing, there is judo. This allows you to learn everything from kicking and punching to subduing.

Isn’t this mixed martial arts (MMA)?

2 years. If I train for exactly 2 years, I will be able to beat 5th grader Park Si-woo technically, not in a dogfight, when I am in 3rd grade.

This will bring my grand five-year quest for revenge to an end.

First of all, I need to eat before I register for the exercise program.

While my mom was preparing dinner, I checked the stocks I had bought a month ago.

KOSPI index is 834 KOSDAQ index is 830

Looking at the rate of return, it’s 12 percent. 7.38 million won became 8.26 million won. This is a good amount.

If you sell when the index reaches 925, your return will be over 20%.

“Eat your food, son~”

“Okay.”

I must tell my mom this good news.

“Heh. I can’t get a kiss from Mom?”

“Did it go up?”

“The yield is 12 percent?”

“You haven’t sold it yet?”

“I didn’t sell it.”

“Okay then.”

“Why?”

“It’s not earned until you sell it, son.”

“Really? Then I’ll tell you when I sell it.”

“Yeah~”

I wasn’t confident.

I absolutely cannot lose confidence.

At least this time I think I can beat Mom.
