Chapter Index



    Park Ji-hoon vs. Kim Tae-oh.



    Perhaps because it was the first problem, the number of people who failed was small.

    Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon in front of him glances behind him, seeming to be wary of Kim Tae-oh.

    Once the few wrong people were eliminated, the next problem quickly came up.

    -One of the greatest achievements in mathematics is the discovery of 0, which comes from the Buddhist idea of emptiness. 0 was incorporated into the calculation structure as a proud number rather than a simple symbol.

    So which country first started using the number 0 in mathematics?

    Perhaps it was because it was a test for all students, but I also understood that there was no topic.

    No matter how basic it may be, the younger you are, the more disadvantaged you are.

    I wrote ‘India’ and heard it, and a large number of 1st and 2nd grade kids were eliminated.

    ‘Useup… I’m leaving like this…’

    There were 400 people left, and this time they were able to receive 10 points.

    In the third grade, there were quite a few students who received 10 points.

    – This is a shrine that houses the memorial tablets of past kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty, and is a place where ancestral rites are held in a grand manner even today.

    Built as a temple to enshrine a deity and offer ancestral rites, this place is the largest single wooden building of its time in the world and is characterized by its long side shape. Where is this place that is also called the ‘Parthenon’ of Asia?

    For a moment, I had no thoughts.

    Because I never learned it…

    I just wrote down the longest building built during the Joseon Dynasty.

    ‘Jongmyo’

    No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the right Jongmyo…

    As a result, the correct answer was Jongmyo, and more people survived than expected.

    Of course, the first and second years were all wiped out.

    And Kim Tae-oh and Park Ji-hoon wake up and look at each other.

    Dayeon was working very hard on solving problems in front of me.

    And the problem started. As soon as I heard the problem, I dropped my pen.

    -Starting in the mid-17th century, Russia advanced into the Heilongjiang area as part of its southward policy, leading to constant conflict with the Qing Dynasty.

    This treaty led to an adjustment in the relationship between the two countries.

    This is the border delimitation treaty concluded between the Qing Dynasty and Russia in 1689, and was the first treaty concluded on equal footing by the Qing Dynasty with a European country. What is this treaty?

    After thinking about it for 3 seconds, I realized.

    ‘Yes, I won’t do it, I won’t do it, the problem of such a thing is ridiculous.’

    If you’ve read it even once, you’ll guess, but world history is probably only read by kids preparing for high school.

    In the end, I raised the white flag, but Dayeon got it right.

    The correct answer is ‘Nerchinsk Treaty’

    I patted Dayeon’s head, who was very surprised that I was wrong.

    “I’ve never seen this before in my life… I’ll cheer you on, stay strong!”

    “huh!!!”

    I went back to my class and started cheering, pushing the shoulders of Tae-oh Kim and Ji-hoon Park in front of me.

    “Aren’t you cheering?”

    “”…..””

    I called the class president and whispered to him.

    Let’s support Dayeon, who is left alone.

    The class leader stepped forward and began to lead.

    “”It’s Lee Da-yeon!!!!””

    match! match! match!

    “”cheer up!!!!””

    match! match! match!

    You might have thought Dayeon would be shy, but she just doesn’t show it, she likes things like this.

    Dayeon, smiling brightly while looking at me, solved the problem.

    Dayeon eventually stopped in second place.

    As they approached the class, everyone was busy praising Dayeon.

    We were also able to receive 15 cheer points.

    The soccer match that started in the afternoon had the highest score, so if you won all the time, you could get 900 points for today’s victory.

    But… I was interested in the goal score.

    100 points for each point scored by the player who scored…

    In particular, first year students were given a lot of time to play games…

    Dayeon noticed me smiling next to me.

    “What’s wrong with Siyuna?”

    “Are you good at soccer, Taeo?”

    “Yeah! It really flew.”

    “Hehehehe. Give me a travel voucher to a 5-star hotel… ah heh.”

    “…?”

    As expected, the game started to go as expected.

    Ji-hoon, who caught the ball from the start, jumped out, and Kim Tae-oh also jumped out.

    Suddenly, Park Ji-hoon passed two people with a phantom dribble, as if he was trying to showmanship, then did a Marseille turn and fired a mid-range gun.

    Pow!

    The soccer ball flew at a speed unimaginable by the leg strength of a 14-year-old in his first year of middle school, and it turned out to be a goal 15 seconds after the start of the game.

    “”…..””

    Park Ji-hoon scores a goal just like in the old Kung Fu Soccer movies.

    The playground became quiet, and the massacre began.

    Have you ever heard 32 goals in one game?

    Even though it is a youth game, 32 goals are scored in this place where there are quite a lot of talented players…

    I, too, am dumbfounded when I watch this.

    “Wow, you got 3,200 points in one day?”

    By adding 300 victory points, the score reached 3,500 points in one game, and since the team was a freshman who could play two more games, the teachers started to get upset.

    As if showing what it means to lose balance, Kim Tae-oh and Park Ji-hoon, who were on fire, naturally started competing with each other to see who could put in more.

    Those who play kung fu soccer have literally become one with the ball and everything.

    The teachers felt serious when they scored 28 points in the next game.

    Everyone was taken aback by the sight of them achieving the feat of scoring an average of 30 points.

    I approached Jihoon Park and Taeoh Kim who were resting with drinks.

    “Don’t showmanship, try cooperation. Let’s get 50,000 points and exchange 1.5 million bottles of water.”

    The boys in my class, who had heard my plan without even thinking about it, began to be shocked.

    “Aren’t you curious? With 1.5 million bottles, you could fill a playground with bottled water instead of grass.”

    “”…..””

    I went back to my seat and ate pizza with Dayeon.

    “As expected… the pizza is Damino’s.”

    But I guess the teachers had no intention of going along with my plan.

    The score was reduced to 50 points.

    Even though we protested, it seems like they ignored us and tried to change the rules because there were only people in our class who could do it.

    But without hesitation, I went to the auditorium where the principal was.

    “Are the rules really this easy to change?”

    The principal must have known me and greeted me warmly.

    “No, but isn’t the difference in scores too big…?”

    “I guess you don’t think that you would naturally feel bad if the grades you worked so hard to get were decided by the teachers alone without discussion?”

    “”…..””

    “Do you know what’s being said between us right now?”

    Teachers listening to me.

    “The idea is to get 25,000 points and exchange them all for water. Would you like to carry 750,000 bottles of water?”

    Of course, it was just my opinion.

    “”…Huh?”“

    “I’m not going to change it to water, so why don’t I put my scores back to their original state? Let’s ask my classmates to do something they want to do one by one. Or, since I don’t have any regrets, let’s change it to water.”

    I continued the discussion with the teachers who were seriously concerned.

    When I returned to Dayeon, Dayeon looked at me.

    “What did you say?”

    “Huh? I decided to go with the soccer score.”

    “really?”

    “Yes, instead, I took the class leaders with me to propose a new menu composition.”

    “aha!”

    The next day, it was clear that luxurious was the word used to describe our class.

    Our class shows the flex of ordering and eating everything without even eating.

    Everyone received a one-day cushion pass, sat on the cushions, filled five coolers with ice, and filled them with drinks.

    “This is it~”

    I put on the sunglasses I brought from home.

    Because they were my dad’s, the sunglasses took up more than half of my face.

    “I like you~”

    Dayeon was looking at me, and Jihoon noticed what I was saying.

    “Of course, I like luxury goods, but I don’t really see common things.”

    “”…..””

    Kim Tae-oh also looked at me due to the sudden curse coming from behind me.

    Dayeon looked at me with worried eyes and put a straw filled with ice into her mouth.

    I didn’t move, just drank the juice that Dayeon was holding and looked at the ceiling.

    Tae-o, who was watching this, said something to me.

    “Is it true that you see Dayeon as a friend?”

    “Don’t just try to look bad, but try to read the minds of people who want to do something for you, right? Dayeon just did it for you, right?”

    Dayeon looked at Taeoh next to her and nodded.

    “Stop teasing me, Kim Tae-oh.”

    “huh…”

    Dayeon and I fed each other a lot.

    “It’s comfortable because you’re not wearing a skirt.”

    Jihoon looked at me and said.

    “What the hell? Even if you wear a skirt, you still spread your legs.”

    “…?”

    “Oh sorry…”

    Our class changed our plans to spend the luxury trip rather than go on a trip, and quickly used up a lot of points.

    It’s a generous score that one person can use right away if they want to eat something.

    Everyone was thankful to Taeo and Jihoon.

    Except for the kid named Kang-hoon who was hit by Ji-hoon before…

    “Melon sounds delicious…”

    Thanks to Dayeon’s words, 30 plates of deliciously cut melon were delivered.

    Sitting luxuriously in the shade, wearing sunglasses and feeling the hot wind, I felt like a hermit.

    I took off my sunglasses and put them in the glasses case.

    And then he said as he put it in the bag that Dayeon was carrying.

    “I brought this without my dad’s knowledge, so if I get caught or lose it, I’ll get hit by my dad right? Please~”

    “huh…”

    The last day of the middle school sports day was held, and I sighed when I saw the line in front of me.

    I was now…touching face painting paint.

    Next to me were full of art teachers and little seniors who did art.

    The line in front of me was very long.

    And that too with little boys.

    I took pictures of all the pictures I could draw and placed them in front of me, but the teacher and I wrote that anything was possible.

    When asked to make it into a cat, I quickly drew it with a pencil on the paper in front of me.

    A method of drawing the desired picture on A4 paper with the shape of the face drawn on it, and then drawing it on the face.

    I said, waving my hands.

    “Come closer.”

    “huh.”

    They are little kids who get excited by my touch alone.

    I drew every single fur and made it into a real cat.

    “”and…””

    The speed was faster than the time the child next to me was drawing a cute rabbit on his cheek.

    The next person was Dayeon.

    “I’ll draw you a pretty picture.”

    “huh!!”

    I started drawing a pink flower on Dayeon’s face with all my might, and the teacher next to me couldn’t hide his surprise.

    Dayeon laughed as if she was tickled by the brush strokes that even most professionals could not follow, but she moved the brush according to the tremors.

    “It’s done~”

    Dayeon checked her face in the mirror and covered her mouth.

    “So pretty!!!”

    “It’s because Dayeon is pretty.”

    “huh!”

    When Kim Tae-oh tried to move along with Dayeon, I waved my hand, and Dayeon grabbed Tae-oh’s arm and brought it in front of me.

    “Draw Tae-o too!”

    “…I am…”

    Taeo looked around and pointed at the stars.

    “Please…don’t…”

    Kim Tae-oh must have thought of a small, cute star…

    I grinned and drew the night sky all over Kim Tae-oh’s face.

    “Puhahaha.”

    The night sky, as brilliant and powerful as Van Gogh’s starry night, was stuck on Kim Tae-oh’s face, and Dayeon turned her head back as if she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

    The teacher and kids were impressed by my drawing skills, but look at that overwhelming night sky…

    Kim Tae-oh noticed the smell and avoided it, but since it had already been spread widely, he sighed and waited.

    The picture itself was overwhelmingly beautiful. Because the stars in the night sky emit light into the blue darkness…

    If only it weren’t plastered all over the person’s face.

    “Don’t erase that until Dayeon erases her face? Dayeon will be embarrassed if she draws on her face alone.”

    “You!!! Haha… I understand.”

    Park Ji-hoon looked at Kim Tae-oh and started laughing.

    “Ah, what’s wrong with your face? Crazy, I’ve got the night sky on my face. I’ll make a wish when a shooting star falls.”

    After that, when I signaled for Park Ji-hoon to come, he gave me a straight face.

    “no.”

    “come.”

    “hate.”

    “You told me to come?”

    “…no…”

    “one two…”

    Before he knew it, Park Ji-hoon’s face was perfectly radiating its presence, with the orange sunset on the sea embracing pink clouds.

    Kim Tae-oh couldn’t help himself either, so he chuckled.

    When I saw the two people standing like that, I had a hard time drawing because my hands were shaking because they were laughing so hard.

    It’s been a while since I created two satisfactory works.

    Dayeon taking a photo.

    I stopped for a moment and went and took a picture together.

    The final soccer final is approaching, and I can’t say that my drawing didn’t have an effect on today’s game.

    In a match against 3rd graders, he overwhelmed the kids who couldn’t concentrate because they were laughing because of the faces of strikers Taeoh and Park Jihoon.

    In the meantime, there was a boy who got a cat painting from me, and Park Ji-hoon lost the credit for laughing.

    Lastly, the kids who represented our class and participated in a talent show.

    The sports festival has ended.
