Life’s Second Round in Epic Mode

is completed by the end of this year.”

 

“Of course, it's only been a little over a month since you started.
Your company is still in its growth phase, but you must be ahead of your peers in terms of social activities, right?”

 

“I'm still learning.”

 

“But you'll also learn a lot from school, especially from participating in various events and festivals.”

 

Yi Geon quickly grasped the teacher's intentions.
Even though he had not experienced it in this life, he had dealt with similar situations in his previous life.
Nevertheless, Mr.
Park Hyuk-seong, his homeroom teacher, was subtly steering the conversation, trying to get what he wanted in a relatively moderate manner.

 

Even in the 2030s, all sorts of troublemakers used their power to extort money.
Most of what the teachers desired came not from their own wishes but from the demands of their superiors.

 

“In order to fulfill the social responsibilities that come with being the CEO of a rapidly growing conglomerate like Taco Max, I will do my best to contribute to the promotion of my alma mater, Chunggong High School, and help create a sense of pride and accomplishment for our juniors, seniors, teachers, and staff.”

 

“Ah? Oh..
I see.
You certainly have a different perspective as a successful entrepreneur.”

 

Feeling the pressure from Yi Geon's powerful speech, the homeroom teacher decided that the information about his parents on the family background form was useless.

 

'It seems a cunning cub has emerged from an ordinary, impoverished home.
Every word he says is sharp and quite intimidating.
Well, at least he's a student running a business, and he helps the school in various ways.
Two birds with one stone…'

 

“Thank you, teacher.
If there's anything you need for an event or the school, don't hesitate to call on me.
Despite being extremely busy with my business and studies, I wouldn't dare neglect my duty to shine a light on my alma mater.”

 

Yi Geon quickly reached a conclusion, simply because he was annoyed.
The homeroom teacher's face brightened as if he had swallowed a digestive.

 

“Hahaha, that's right, Yi Geon is very smart.
He's great at studying too.”

 

“Thank you for the generous praise.
While working, no matter how close the relationship, there are often instances where we embarrass each other.
I hope that I can always laugh with you, teacher, until the day I graduate.
Always.”

 

“Ha…
ah…
hahaha, of course, Yi Geon.”

 

Mr.
Park Hyuk-seong broke into a cold sweat.
Normally, a high school freshman would be busy shrinking back in front of a teacher, but he felt as if he was being pulled into the conversation, like he was dealing with a high-ranking official or CEO.

 

If he had seen Yi Geon getting a backhand smash from his sister for his cheeky behavior, his thoughts might have been different.
However, Yi Geon appeared to have no weaknesses, like not even a needle could penetrate.

 

“What are you all doing? Hurry up and move!”

 

At that moment, the vice principal rushed into the teacher's office, urgently.

 

“What's the matter, vice principal?”

 

“There's chaos at the school right now.
Stop the classes immediately, call the students, and start spraying water from the main entrance.
Get the cleaning crew started.”

 

“Vice principal, who's coming?”

 

“An overseas VIP and the deputy minister of education are coming with the director of scholarships.
Also, the deputy minister of foreign affairs is accompanying them.”

 

The news of the director of scholarships' visit caused an uproar in the teacher's office.

 

Unlike the 2030s specific position of Grade 6, the 1993 director of scholarships held power equivalent to an inspection by a division commander.

 

On top of that, it wasn't just the headquarters, but the deputy minister of education was coming as well.
The school was undoubtedly going to be turned upside down.

 

“What could they possibly want to see at our school? Aren't all the schools busy preparing for the Daejeon Expo?”

 

“That's true.”

 

The vice principal was just as clueless.

 

“I don't know.
They just said an important person was coming.”

 

As the situation suddenly became hectic, the homeroom teacher, who had finished his business, sent Yi Geon back to the classroom.

 

'What on earth is happening?'

 

It was unlikely that an overseas VIP would make a surprise visit to a high school.

 

Yi Geon, who was quick to assess the situation, was unaware of the butterfly effect his actions had caused.

 

At the school entrance:

 

“Is this Chunggong High School, where the student in question attends?”

 

“Yes, that's correct.
Officer Kim, please open the main gate.”

 

A line of black sedans entered the school.

 

Who was the person accompanying the deputy minister of education, who even made the director of scholarships flustered, causing such a commotion?

 

Students diligently cleaning the window sills hurriedly closed the windows at the surprised teacher's words.
