Chapter 15 (1/2)

“Kids, wake up We’ve arrived at Boseong”

The students who’d all fallen asleep due to the 5 hour-long trip, began waking one by one at the teacher’s voice

Stretching, Seung-ho also stood up and started waking the others up

Thanks to the fact that they’d left early in the rilled short-rib patties Because Boseong was fareen tea patties were said to be incredibly delicious

The 7th class students got off the bus andlined up next to it Seung-ho took a headcount like a proper class president and then stepped back in the group with Sang-wook

“Wow, it really feels like the countryside here”

“I know, right?”

“There are no high buildings; it’s all mountains”

As soon as they went inside and took their seats, the delectable patties were set out in front of the on the hot surfaces of flat stones The meat cooked with a delicious sreen onions laid on top drove them crazy

“Woah”

“Check out the sound!”

“One slab of meat is almost the size of a notebook!”

“I better take a picture”

Thepicture, Geurilled short-rib patties into bite-sized pieces

“Thank you for the food!”

The students’ chopsticks simultaneously headed toward the patties One piece dunked in ssa popped in their mouths; another dipped with the speciality sauce joined it

The rich juice and sauce flavours joined in their ues

‘It’spatties this delicious!’

Due to the appetite of 6 growing boys, the grilled short-rib patties disappeared in a blink of an eye

‘I have to come here with Mum next time’

After finishi+ng a satisfying reen tea fields Since they were called fields, he’d thought that they would be spread out over the plains, but it looked as if they’d been carved straight into the mountains It was the very definition of ‘staircase fields’

“Are we going all the way to the top?”

At the female student’s worry-filled question, the teacher answered firmly

“Of course There are to be no exceptions in our class”

“Ah, is this some kind of obstacle course experience?”

“School trip this is a school trip Since I’ve doneveteran, it’s going to be hard for h, so control your pace while you hike and don’t go off on side trails”

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher started up the mountain first

“Woah, how are we supposed to go up there?”

“Honestly, it looks like we came here to hike”

“We ht?”

Seung-ho had sihts Not only did the inclination look incredibly high, the distance to the peak seemed very far away

‘When are we supposed to go up there?’

Still, it was his first proper school trip He didn’t want to cos were too hard

As soon as he stood on the steps leading up to the green tea fields with the others, a half-transparent panel popped up

QUEST:

Be the first to reach the sureen tea fields Surpass even the homeroom teacher

Reward: 15 points

Strength flared up within hih motivation to work hard

“Guys, I’ll be going up first”

When Seung-ho, who had looked exhausted just a second ago, spoke with an enthusiastic face, the kids couldn’t understand it at all

“What are you suddenly doing?”

“Take it easy It’s not like they’re going to give you anything if you’re the first to go up”

Seung-ho laughed and shook his head

‘You guys aren’t going to get anything, but I’ll be receiving so’

Waving his hand, he bid his friends goodbye

“I’ Take your time”

Leaving the others behind hi up the mountain He’d have to work hard in order to catch up with Teacher Ryu Han-shi+n, who had gone up using a hiking staff

Seung-ho’s current staher than the average person In tith by far

After running for a while, he caught up with the kids who’d lagged behind froone up first

The good thing was that he’d passed all of the kids from the 7th class However, he’d have to be in first place if he wanted to receive the quest points In order to do that, he’d have to go up faster than Teacher Ryu Han-shi+n

‘How far up did this teacher go?’

The other students were either resting on benches here and there or taking co-ho had no such time to spare

‘It’s a whopping 15 points’

But the sta to tire Wiping his sweat, Seung-ho asked the kids next to him a question

“Guys, have you seen Teacher Ryu Han-shi+n by any chance?”

“He went by a o, I think”

As the fe-ho’s face

‘I want to be that sleeve that is wiping his sweat’

Seung-ho smiled and nodded his head

“Thanks”

One minute was not h his breath was starting to shorten, he could handle it if he pushed just a little bit more

“Excuse me…”

After gathering his strength, he was starting to go up again when the fe-ho

“Yeah?”

“Can you give me your number?”

Those who are et asked for his nu?

“A-ah Okay”

Seung-ho aardly entered his nu out

“W-well, I’ll be going”

He’d so for the teacher’s location, but he always became flustered in these types of situations

‘Should I raise self-confidence, dignity, or stuff like that?’

He could think about it after receiving the points After all, he’d need the points in order to do anything He had been feeling frustrated anyway because he hadn’t gotten any quests since beco class president, so he had to earn points today to make up for all that time

However, desire and skill differed After walking for quite a while and co up to the middle of the 5th class students, his stamina was already at its limit

‘It’s a waste to just let the points go, after all this’

As he stood in place and was getting his breath back, a good idea occurred to him

‘Instead of throwing away the 15 points, I could just invest points in staht?’

It would have been nice if he’d thought of it earlier, instead of after he was already exhausted

‘This stupid intelligence is of no use for anything except studying Do I have to raise the ‘Tricks’ statistic or so?’

Grinning, Seung-ho invested 10 points into his staht away
