The kids reacted to what the number one prize was.

Some realized the weight of it coming from a beloved dragon, but there were some kids who werent impressed.

Invitation to the Dragon Palace? Whats that? Sounds like a Chinese restaurant.

Yong-ssaem is a real dragon, Hyodon-ah! I think its the place where the Dragon Clan stays.

Oh, but most of the dragons in Korea live in Yeom Junyeol sunbaenims house.

Thats true, but

Saeum of April made a sharp point.

The Dragon Palace is where dragons stay, but most of the dragons in Korea are staying in the Red Lion team building.

Aside from the ones who took it lightly, I noticed some greatly surprised kids.

The Dragon Palace Is it for real? What a shame.

The best prize was an invitation to the Dragon Palance, huh? Its a pity I didnt win it. Its a place I cant go with my strength alone! Ill definitely aim for the first place next time.

Goo Seulbi and Ong Gildong wanted to go to the Dragon Palace.

Ong Gildong, who lost because of Song Daesoks interventions, looked particularly sad.

Min Geurin looked apologetic.

Ill help you next time. But why do you wanna go?

The Dragon Palace is famous for its rich beauty and gold and silver treasures. Its the boundary between the human world and the divine world.

A more common term for superior beings today the divine.

Their world is separate from the human world.

Although in the mythical age, the human and divine worlds were close, there were frequent visits because the descent was easy through temples.

However, today, superior beings can only stay in the human world for a very short time, and only limited interference is possible.

The Dragon Palace is one of the few places where traces of mythology remains intact. Its romantic.

The Dragon King goes to the Dragon Palace about once a year.

Yong Jegun said in a light tone, but his words sparked exclamations.

Everyone knew Yong Jeguns connection to the Dragon King, but it mustve felt different hearing it directly from Yong Jegun.

The prize suddenly sounds really good now.

I think so too. But I dont want to take away Jihos prize.

Hwang Jiho kept on observing Yong Jegun, trying to figure out his intentions.

The latter only smiled and laughed, not showing a glimpse of his true feelings.

You can transfer your prize, but I want you to call someone close to you if possible. Though I would like it if you come in person.

What the hell is Yong Jegun thinking?

One of the tigers and I already secured access to the Dragon Palace.

I received direct permission from the Dragon King, and one of the Tiger Clan was told to receive a dragon bird from Cheongryong and Hwangryong.

But Yong Jegun gave Hwang Jiho an invitation to the palace as a prize.

Does he want one of our classmates to come?

That would make sense considering that anyone in our class couldve gotten the prize, but I thought differently.

Yong Jegun knew that Hwang Jiho would get it first.

The same goes for Mok Wooram and me.

All the prizes I found were related to Yeom Junyeol.

Among them were limited edition goods.

I felt half joyful and half doubtful with every Yeom Junyeol note that I got.

I liked the prizes and admired Yong Jeguns excellent treasure-hiding skill, but I felt like I was being played in his hands.

I know Yong Jegun intended to have Hwang Jiho find this note.

Is he going to call another tiger?

Yong Jegun organized this game intending to give Hwang Jiho an invitation to the Dragon Palace.

But why?

Does he want two tigers to go to the palace?

Or maybe this mischievous dragons reason is just because

Maybe he thought it would be more fun for two to come.

I havent concluded yet, but it was time to receive the prizes.

Alright, Euishin-ah. You found all the prizes Junyeol-ie prepared. Our Junyeol-ie will be happy.

Are those prizes prepared by Yeom Junyeol sunbaenim?

Yeah, I told him well do a treasure hunt event and he prepared some stuff for me.

These were prepared by Yeom Junyeol, not Yong Jegun!

I knew it somehow as I found it strange that Yong Jegun would have all of those.

I wondered how he got it in stock, but it turns it Yeom Junyeol prepared them!

My sunbae and student prepared such great prizes for our class picnic.

I loved the products, but they became more meaningful since Yeom Junyeol prepared them.

The box containing Yeom Junyeols prizes weighed quite a lot, but it didnt feel heavy at all.

Do you like the prizes, Euishin-ah?

Yes, thank you. Ill thank Yeom Junyeol sunbaenim too.

Our Junyeol-ie will like that.

Yong Jegun laughed with satisfaction.

The things you asked me to do for this picnic, the prizes I did good, didnt I?

He did great with every aspect.

Yong Jeguns performance was highly commendable.

Then can you do me a favor?

Of course.

I have to do something for my playable character who worked so hard.

However, I couldnt answer like that.

There was something that strangely bothered me.

I thought Id regret it if I agreed right here.

When I was about to nod, Hwang Jiho intervened.

Its Mok Woorams turn. He found a lot of item cards.

I found a lot because I was lucky enough. I think I wont need to worry about consumable items for the time being.

Yong Jegun squinted at Hwang Jiho, and the latter raised the corner of his mouth as if he was about to laugh.

I guess the old man etched the dud notes in his heart, determined to make Yong Jegun pay.

Anyway, thanks to him, I was able to avoid answering Yong Jegun.

Just like that, the recreation time ended without me knowing Yong Jeguns intentions.

It was free time after that, and all the kids went out to play.

As we enjoyed the various attractions, the end of the picnic slowly approached.

Everyone played to their heart's content, but they expressed a slight regret.

Theres no place that sells souvenirs

Theyre replacing their mascots and logo so it cant be helped.

All the online shops were closed too. So we made one ourselves.

Not only the souvenir shops but also the unmanned stands, including vending machines, werent in operation.

The only souvenir shop open is on the first floor of the castle on the artificial island which was set up to lure Mok Wooram.

I knew the pushover Mok Wooram wouldnt just pass by it.

Cups printed with photos taken at the peak of the roller coasters, miniatures that played videos of the ghost house, and others.

Mok Wooram would never pass up souvenirs of this memorable day with his muse.

Though he responded to both Kwon Lena and Saeum of Aprils screams.

It was the two of them who screamed a lot in the horror house.

Mok Wooram seemed to be contemplating whether to mention the souvenir shop at the artificial island, but he didnt say anything in the end.

He seemed reluctant to show the dangerous place to the other kids.

In the end, we settled with the souvenirs made by Ong Gildong.

Goo Seulbi looked sad for a second when Ong Gildong said hed give souvenirs to everyone, but she seemed satisfied too to see the others happy.

Going home is also part of the picnic schedule. Everyone be careful on the way back.

Yes!

We had dinner at a restaurant near the theme park, and the autumn picnic of Class Zero was concluded safely.

If going home is part of the schedule, then my picnic isnt over yet.

There were three people in our class whose picnics werent done just yet.

Hwang Jiho, Mok Wooram, and Yong Jegun.

Those three couldnt go home yet.

You all worked hard. I collected a lot of mouse traps, do you need them?

The eradication of mice is one of my wishes, but unfortunately, the rat and I are allies.

Inside the air limousine heading to the meeting place, the dragon and the tiger were bickering over the mouse traps.

Did they forget Mok Wooram was with us?

Rat and dragons, then

Mok Wooram stared at Hwang Jiho, lost in thought.

Even though he knew Mok Wooram was on the verge of guessing his identity, Hwang Jiho didnt pay attention.

This old man doesnt have any intention of hiding his identity from our classmates.

Ah, Euishin-ah, about the thing I mentioned earlier.

Then Yong Jegun butted in.

Are you talking about the favor?

Yeah.

He seems quite desperate, so maybe I should hear him out?

Yong Jegun indeed worked hard and hes my playable character, and he gave me some good gifts today

You have a thick face, Yong Jegun. Did you forget that you were almost killed by the dragon slayer? I cant believe youre asking for something from the benefactor that saved your life. Thats called being ungrateful.

Hwang Jiho is still bitter about the treasure notes.

His words werent wrong, but its a bit weird for him to say to a teacher while hes in his high school student alter ego.

Yong Jegun continued smiling despite Hwang Jihos acrimonious remarks.

I know, thats why Im kindly doing what Euishin wants me to do, am I not?

Youre not well-versed in the human language. Kindly, you say?

The two old men who refused to act their age continued arguing in front of the confused Mok Wooram.

Hwang Jiho said, clicking his tongue.

Our descendant suffered too much. Hell lose his mind if he keeps playing this treasure hunt game with you.

That kid would be glad to be called our descendant. Ill make sure to tell him.

Yong Jeguns words were strangely studded with subliminal messages.

Hwang Jiho is in a position where he cant protect Kim Shinrok.

Hwang Jiho doesnt back down in a verbal fight, but if Kim Shinrok gets involved

It will be difficult for the once-negligent Hwang Jiho to cause harm to Kim Shinrok who continues to be a close friend to Yong Jegun.

Theres been silence in the limousine after the mention of Kim Shinrok.

The word descendant confirmed to Mok Wooram that Hwang Jiho is of royal lineage, but the old man seemed preoccupied with thoughts of Kim Shinrok.

Of course, in the midst of all this, Yong Jeguns mood seemed to be sky-high.

In the meantime, the limousine reached the building owned by the Tiger Clan.

After several security measures, we finally met Seodol and Jared Lee.

At that time, Seodol pointed straight at me.

Its that kid.

What is he talking about?

Jared Lee reacted with great surprise before asking.

Euishin, youre

Jared Lee, a world-renowned player, is one of the people protected today.

Maybe hes known about my activities in the wake of this incident.

He might say that word like Mok Wooram did.

I gulped, preparing my mind for the attack.

Youre Neurus new ambassador?

What? Im not.

Jared Lee seemed to have a ridiculous misunderstanding.

Hwang Jiho added something that made things more confusing.

Jo Euishin I thought you didnt like the spotlight.

The old man talked nonsense before I spoke my mind.

If you say yes, then I want you to be the core model of Hwangmyeong Groups brand identity and

No.

Hwang Jiho talked nonsense.
