Although Yong Jegun was absent, the schedule for the night went ahead as planned.

At first, the campfire that we planned was simply about exchanging gifts, eating delicious foods, and having good conversations between the teachers and the students.

In other words, just a chill time to be spent with one another.

However, the Third Year Class Zero seniors had a different tasteful plan.

Before the campfire was set just after sunset, the seniors distributed paper cups with flower candles that they made themselves.

Dont tell me this is Are we about to do the legendary candle lighting ceremony?!

Everyone who experienced a youth retreat knows what campfire candle lighting is.

Its a ritual of historic traditions where emotions are stimulated with clich words exchanged between young students during youth retreats.

Just as expected, Woo Kihwan naturally became the host and began to set the mood.

When Woo Kihwan signaled, a Class Zero senior who was part of the Korean Traditional Music Department began to play the Haegeum.

(T/N: Haegeum is a traditional string instrument.)

The instrument seems to be borrowed from the musical center of the resort.

The campfire, candlelight, and haegeum dont seem compatible at first, but the senior who played the Haegeum was so outstanding that the atmosphere felt all-natural and nice.

Even the teachers admired the clear notes from the haegeum.

In the deep darkness where you cant see yourself, your friends, your teachers, and your surroundings, I will light the candle that will ignite the light of hope.

Players can see well in the dark with their night vision.

Theres no way we cant see anything.

I thought so, but I decided to let it slide.

After lighting all the candles

Against the background music of haegeum playing the song Like Flowers Bloom and Fall, Woo Kihwan spoke seriously.

Now Close your eyes and think about yourself, your friends, your family, and your parents.

Sentimental words that Id never imagined to come out of Woo Kihwans mouth touched the hearts of the other kids.

The sad tune being played with the haegeum and Woo Kihwans low voice stimulated the emotions and conscience of the adolescent teenagers.

Eventually, a number of students started crying.

Mom

It was Bang Yoonseob who whimpered.

I wonder if its because he had a difficult time with Tak Geosans training and being attacked by the Class Zero zombies, or if he just has a lot of sins to his mother.

As soon as Woo Kihwan stirred the mood, Bang Yoonseob, who already had tears in his eyes, couldnt stand the continued emotional attack and began to wail.

Moon Saeron announced in advance that she plans to create a commemorative video, so she would thoroughly and continuously film throughout the trip, especially during group activities.

The scene of Bang Yoonseob wailing is being recorded vividly, and I dont know if this guy would remember it and regret it in the future.

Im feeling emotional.

I miss my mom.

Hng.

In our class, Saeum, Min Geurin, and Song Daesok cried.

As expected, my playable character is full of emotions.

Along with the light of our candles, lets blow all the mistakes that weve made in our life so far and open up a new tomorrow. On the count of three, lets put out our candles. Three, two, one!

Although the candles were extinguished and the haegeum performance ended, the atmosphere was still devastated.

Many of the kids struggled with Woo Kihwan and his groups emotional plays.

Our lives are short, and the time wed spend as high school students is even shorter. Friends and teachers Value the precious relationships and connections that youd build during the short days that we are in high school.

In the midst of the commotion, Woo Kihwan started talking nonsense.

Teacher and student. The relationship between the two should become closer and tighter. And for that reason, we are going to have a Yaja Time. Ya, Im Yeonhwa!

(T/N: Yaja Time is when juniors or younger people get the chance to talk down or drop honorifics to their seniors or people older than them.)

Woo Kihwan mustve lost his mind.

So all the buildup so far was just an excuse to have a Yaja Time.

A loud barrage of words broke out from the microphone held by Woo Kihwan.

How could you do that to me and my classmates, Im Yeonhwaaaaa?!

Im Yeonwa responded to Woo Kihwan.

Yes, Kihwan-ah? What is it?

Im Yeonhwas face was still at ease.

Rather than getting angry at the sudden drop of honorifics, she seemed to wonder what her cute students have to say.

How could you! How could you tell us that were of no help during the attack from the second world and then tell us to get lost?!

Looks like hes still upset about Im Yeonhwa telling him and his classmates to get lost at the otherworld attack at the frozen point.

Im Yeonhwa replied as if she couldnt understand what Woo Kihwan was saying.

I never told you to get lost though?

You told us to stay in one corner because you think were hesitating and getting in the wayyy! Thats the same as telling us to get lost!

Im Yeonhwa answered kindly when she saw Woo Kihwan getting teary-eyed.

But its true that you were hesitating, Kihwan-ah. You guys are too weak. Is it because youre still young and your muscles arent fully developed yet? Ah, but you guys now are weaker than when I was your age and in military high school no when I was in middle school.

In the end, the Yaja Time planned by the Class Zero seniors had no blow on Im Yeonhwa.

Rather, Im Yeonhwa was delighted, saying that she felt closer to her cute students.

Im Yeonhwa spoke in a motivated voice.

Kids, I didnt know that you hate the weak version of yourselves so much. From now on, I will train you even better!

Hearing Im Yeonhwas words, the leader of the primates Woo Kihwan grabbed his neck and collapsed on the spot due to stress.

Looks like the Class Zero sunbaenims and Professor Im Yeonhwa are really close. Will we have that kind of relationship with Professor Ham Geunhyung when we reach the third year too?

Shall we do Yaja Time too?

Geu-Geunyung-ah Ah, no I cant!

I felt relieved that my kind-hearted classmates arent influenced by the jerks in class zero senior class yet.

When Woo Kihwan collapsed, the atmosphere among the first-year students returned to normal and we all enjoyed a fun campfire.

A long time ago, the Bear Goddes chose the word Sad as her modifier.

The Pure White Bear had his eyes blinded by his family.

With that, a suggestion was made out of pity for the goddess situation.

Your tragedy cannot be prevented by my power, nor can it undo it.

But whenever your favorite red tiger gets hurt, Ill tell you when, where, and why it happens.

So, stop being sad and wake up. If you fall here now, how can you protect your beloved red tiger from evil?

After accepting the favor from the superior being, the Bear Goddess rose again.

With her name now being Sad Bear Goddess, she became an important character in the Bear Clan as one of the Eight Real Bears.

In the territory of the Tiger Clan, the Red Tiger destined to be tied up was tied up in the end.

Although it didnt do much damage to his body, things changed after the collision between the worlds.

The Red Tiger was released from being tied up and became able to move again for the Tiger Clan.

Red Tiger seldom gets hurt because he can hide and protect himself with his red fog, but hes already been hurt twice this year alone.

One time was in the hands of the Jogangreyob, the head of the Pig Clan.

The second was in the hands of the Bear of Agony, one of the Eight Real Bears.

Whenever the Red Tiger gets hurt, the Bear Goddess recalls what she heard that dawn of January 1st.

The one from the myth No, the Red Tiger derived from the legends will die within one year.

It was someone who hid and spoke with a false appearance, the Red Wall Thief, who said so.

It turned out that the daring Red Wall Thief, who spoke in front of the three-eyed cane of truth, was not lying.

On that day, the powerful man who destroyed the Hwangmong Auction was none other than the Red Wall Thief.

The Sad Bear Goddess trusted the words of the Red Wall Thief, and she handed over the Weight of Wealth and Life item card.

One of the Weight of Wealth and Life was used inside the Eungwang High School. The Red Wall Thief is in Eungwang High.

Although she knows where the Red Wall Thief is, the Eungwang High School is not a place that the Bear Goddess can access because its a sacred place for the Tiger Clan.

It was only after the Red Tigers encounter with the Sangbosimgeumpa that the Bear Goddess actively moved.

Hes of Tiger Clan, and if the area where the Red Wall Thief is located is in Eungwang High, then its impossible for me to personally help him.

Thinking like so, the Bear Goddess contacted another person of royal lineage and close to Eungwang High who she could trust and cooperate with in finding the Red Wall Thief.

It was none other than Yong Jegun.

Through Yeom Junyeol, the Bear Goddess handed the Sign of Absence item card to Yong Jegun and urged him to find clues about the Red Wall Thief.

If Yong Jegun, who has excellent intuition skills, uses an item that connects sensation through Kimopolea, hed be able to see through the Red Wall Thief which borrows other peoples appearances.

Yong Jegun shows a favorable attitude toward her son.

Therefore, its obvious that hed cooperate in finding the Red Wall Thief who can save the Red Tiger.

That day, the Red Tiger did get hurt a little while protecting Shinrok. Did you call me because of that?

Yong Jegun quickly had a grasp of the situation.

Red Tiger got hurt during the youth retreat of Eungwang High, and this vacation was kind of a continuation of that interrupted trip.

She knew for a fact that the First Year Class Zero students would be present on the trip to Joo-OH Island.

In addition, the Eungwang High website shows that Yong Jegun is a teacher who teaches the Class Zero freshmen.

With that information, the Bear Goddess found an opportunity to meet with Yong Jegun.

When reminded of the fact that the Red Tiger was hurt, the Sad Bear Goddess smiled vaguely and did not reply properly.

Huhuhu, Im not sure.

Yong Jegun didnt question further, but he looked ecstatic for a moment when he looked at the hem of the Bear Goddess red dress.

Did you know that Mr. Red Tiger and Shinrok reconciled?

Hearing the word reconciled, the Sad Bear Goddess eyes slightly opened wider.

In order to hide her expression, the Sad Bear Goddess raised a folding silk fan and covered her face.

At the end of Yong Jeguns short story, the Bear Goddess was smiling behind her fan.

I called you out here to give a fun story, but in the end, Im the one who received interesting news from you.

Because the item that you gave me was that useful. Thanks to you, I had a good year.

The Bear Goddess adjusted her expression before folding her fan and bringing up the main point.

The day after the typhoon hit the Korean Peninsula, the people of Devil Race who knew me grumbled to me. Something thats hidden around here was broken. There was another thing they said aside from the complaining.

What is it?

Yong Jegun asked with an intrigued face.

Yong Jegun, when was the last time you visited the Dragon Kings Palace?

The last time I went to see the Hwangryongs face during the succession ceremony of the Dragon Kings Lady Shaman. So thats about fifty years?

So the Dragon Kings Shaman changes every fifty or so years?

Yep. Next year, well have the ceremony again after the new shaman is chosen.

Hearing Yong Jeguns words, the Bear Goddess nodded.

Its best that weve met before the sunset.

Its soon time for me to go, though. Does that anything have to do with Red Tiger?

The Sad Bear Goddess slightly tilted her head.

Its a gesture that made her look unsure.

I do not know if it has something to do with him. But I want to prepare for the risk. Because I think the man who can hurt him badly has something to do with it.

The one who can seriously injure the Red Tiger is related to the Dragon Kings Palace?

Yong Jegun wanted to ask more, but knowing that the Bear Goddess wouldnt have information further than that, he closed his mouth.

It was the Bear Goddess who broke the silence.

If this continues, its true hes really going to die within a year.

Saying so, the Bear Goddess eyes became full of life.

Yong Jegun took notice of how the Bear Goddess phrased it.

It was as if it was information she obtained from someone else.

Yong Jegun asked right away.

Who said that Mr. Red Tiger is going to die?

The child who took the appearance of the descendant that the dragons adore very much.

Theres one student who immediately came to Yong Jeguns head.

Jo Euishin.

He was the Red Wall Thief who borrowed the appearance of Yeom Junyeol.

The Red Tiger will die in a year? I dont think its referring to the retreat where the Red Tiger was hurt, or where hed be seriously injured.

The Sad Bear Goddess whispered to Yong Jegun.

Tell this to that child. Tell him that theres something he shouldnt forget if he intends to keep on wearing a crow mask.

Yong Jgeun listened to the quiet voice of the Sad Bear Goddess who spoke to his ear softly.
