During the operations meeting, we decided on which teachers to send on the overseas business trip.

— We’ll send Principal Hwangbo Yoon and leave Jegal. We need to decide where to put the other head teachers.

Hwang Jiho floated holograms of each faculty member in position.

A picture of Jegal was placed inside Eungwang High, while Hwangbo Yoon’s photo was placed outside.

Hwang Jiho floated a picture of Im Yeonhwa and Ham Geunhyung.

— I don’t think everything will go well at the International Player Educators Forum, but I don’t know if the meeting between the youth exchange officials will be safe.

I agreed with him.

Im Yeonhwa, Ham Geunhyung, and Choi Pyeondeuk were the three senior teachers sent on the business trip in PMH.

Two of them were strong teachers, so even if there was a problem during the trip, it would’ve been resolved quickly.

They returned home without much trouble, but the situation now is different.

I didn’t want to choose to send Hwangbo Yoon alone.

— Personally, I want to send Ham Geunhyung and leave Im Yeonhwa behind.

— How come? Isn’t Ham Geunhyung Hwangho’s homeroom teacher? Wouldn’t it be reassuring for the freshmen Class Zero to leave him behind?

— I know how well my classmates respect Ham Geunhyung. I just think Im Yeonhwa is suitable for this operation.

Hwangho replied like so when Jeokho asked.

— Both Ham Geunhyung and Im Yeonhwa are strong players. But didn’t Im Yeonhwa show good resistance to energy poison? In any case, Im Yeonhwa can be used to target the frozen otherworld, so I think she’s the more appropriate choice considering the situation.

Hwang Jiho is right about that.

Im Yeonhwa, the strong homeroom teacher, endured well against the energy poison.

Im Yeonhwa and the Class 3-0 sunbae-jerks went to an intense boot camp instead of preparing for graduation, exams, and making memories during their last summer vacation of high school.

During that boot camp, they lived miserably on a deserted island, facing a typhoon and having their food supply destroyed.

The messy uninhabited island episode didn’t end there.

During underwater training, Class 3-0 found the entrance to a frozen otherworld.

However, instead of participating in the attack, seniors of Class 3-0 were forced to crawl into Joo-Oh Island like beggars as they stole Bang Yoonseob’s bread.

— We found a frozen otherworld during training and… the entrance broke and suddenly something like poison came out…

— We were told to get lost and… that she’d deal with it herself…

— Geuhk, even poison doesn’t work on that strong homeroom teacher… how can we win against her? Aish… We fought but were told to escape… But we were too hungry… Geuhng!

Woo Kihwan, the head of then-primitive men, delivered the strong homeroom teacher’s performance.

Im Yeonhwa appeared in Joo-Oh Island a bit later than them, looking very fine.

She said this about attacking the frozen otherworld;

— I couldn’t gain strength because my body was strangely heavy after attacking the otheworld. I rested a bit though and felt better!

Im Yeonhwa was exposed to energy poison but it didn’t seem to have adverse effects on her except that her body became a little weaker.

Purification or healing skills can relieve poisoning, but Im Yeonhwa seemed to have overcome the poison just with her strong body.

After recalling such an incident, Hwang Jiho said something.

— And Ham Geunhyung is vulnerable to close combat. Going three steps closer to him, his bow skills won’t be much. Ham Geunhyung uses a bow to fight, but against Im Yeonhwa in close combat, he’d surely lose.

That was a given.

Not many people of royal lineage are likely to win against close combat battle against Im Yeonhwa.

Considering those factors, it was right to choose Im Yeonhwa just as Hwang Jiho is saying.

But I thought differently.

I wanted Professor Ham Geunhyung to remain in Eungwang High from the beginning.

‘From the Black Screen’s perspective, it’s more troublesome if Professor Ham will remain.’

The Black Screen sent completely strong people of royal lineage to Eungwang High, people who can’t be beaten by students alone.

However, the story will change if the right teachers will join.

Jegal and Gong Cheonghwon, users of Spiritual Word.

And Ham Geunhyung who can knock down the Cow Clan.

I really wanted those three to remain in Eungwang High.

So I took the opportunity to speak after Hwang Jiho.

— I want to send Professor Im Yeonhwa on the trip and leave Professor Ham Geunhyung behind.

Even though I opposed his thoughts, rather than being offended, the old man looked at me with sparkling eyes.

I was about to give the reason when Hwang Jiho interrupted me.

— You wouldn’t have chosen to leave Ham Geunhyung just because he’s Class 1-0’s homeroom teacher. Wait, wait a minute. Don’t say it yet. Let me guess.

Hwang Jiho’s eyes glistened as he suggested various possibilities.

His guesses were focused on Professor Ham Geunhyung’s ability to shoot.

‘It will be difficult to guess even if he’s the chairman because he doesn’t know every detail of Ham Geunhyung’s light skill.’

Professor Ham Geunhyung’s light skill, Marksman’s Sight and Barebow, is connected to four superior beings.

Write your story with lіght~nоvel~cаve~c~о~m as your canvas.

Through his light skill, Professor Ham Geunhyung can borrow gods’ famous palaces, shrines, and their gaze.

This is widely known along with his reputation as the Legendary Archer, but the details of which superior beings aren’t disclosed.

Professor Ham Geunhyung is a man of few words, and he’s not rash with using his light skill.

Even without the power of superior beings, Professor Ham Geunhyung is a master archer and he usually fights with his own archery skills.

Therefore, only a few people know all the names of the four superior beings that are connected with Professor Ham.

Of course, I am the exception.

— It seems to be related to the Legendary Archer’s light skill. He’s a playable character in the game. Euishin hyung must’ve checked all his abilities then.

Eunho said so after listening to Hwang Jiho’s guesses.

From what he said, it doesn’t seem like Eunho checked the abilities of all playable characters, but he seems to know what I’m thinking.

Upon receiving a hint from Eunho, Hwang Jiho’s expression turned bright.

— Four superior beings are lending power to Ham Geunhyung. Was one of them Yiyi? Oh, I see.

Hwang Jiho saw my expression and concluded that he got it right.

— There’s a story that Yiyi couldn’t ascend after shooting the nine suns. His companion, Hang-ah died as a human being after leaving for the Moon Palace. But there are cases in which dead humans are promoted to superior beings due to beliefs created by future generations. I guess that’s the case.

Hwang Jiho was right.

The Jade Emperor sent Yiyi and his companion to the ground.

Hang-ah took two of the fleet given by the Queen Mother of the West and returned to the Moon Palace, and Yiyi lived as a human and died after being betrayed by his disciples.

However, the achievements left by Yiyi were recorded in mythology, and in later generations, became known as the Archer God.

‘It’s not strange that Hwang Jiho couldn’t think of him right away since it’s not clear if he’s a superior being.’

When he found out that Yiyi was one of the superior beings who lent strength to Professor Ham Geunhyung, Hwang Jiho agreed without hesitation.

— Let’s go with Jo Euishin’s suggestion. No one can deal with Apis’ incarnation better than Ham Geunhyung.

In the myths, Yiyi shot and killed the sun and monsters who burned the ground, one of which was a monster called Yayu.

Yayu’s head is in the form of either a dragon or a human, and his body is in the form of a cow or a snake.

Therefore, the Archer God that toppled Yayu was suitable to deal with the Cow Clan.

‘But he has to hit his body.’

Only Yayu’s body is in the shape of a cow.

In other words, even if he hits him in other places, it won’t do much damage.

Considering Professor Ham’s archery skills though, it’s unlikely that he’d miss.

That’s why I led the cow here, where there are no students to use as shields or hostages and he has no way to escape.

With the debuff from Class 3-0’s vice president’s performance, the cow is slowed down and he won’t be able to dodge attacks.

Swish! Swish!

As soon as he saw the arrows, Apis’ incarnation jumped to life.

Or perhaps he just instinctively moved to protect his vital point.

He wrapped his body with energy waves to protect himself.

Soon, when the arrowheads reached Apis, his raincoat was torn and he was completely revealed.

Wounds on his arms and legs had already begun to heal, but his torso…

Drop, drop…

Blood oozed through the torn raincoat and dropped on the floor.

It wasn’t a fatal wound, but it revealed that the arrows from Ham Geunhyung were the best weapon to pierce the cow’s torso.

“I will burn all those arrows with the power of Apis!”

Once the rain of arrows passed, Apis’ incarnation raised his arm and took his hand to his horn.

The horn was topped with a sun disk.

Light flashed out as he tried to blind us and burn everything around.

‘How can an incarnation produce this much power!’

It should be cold in the middle of winter, but the heat was blowing around the cloud bridge as if summer had come.

Class 3-0’s vice president was also sweating.

As the incarnation of Apis said, the arrows were about to melt before they reached him.

But the more I saw the intense light, the more I became convinced.

‘Using the power of the sun in this phase, Apis’ incarnation can’t see itself at all.’

Before the next arrows flew in, I said a word.

“It must be true that your prophecy has lost its power. Did you cooperate with that person because of that?”

“Huh, you’re still at ease. When I burn that archer and that performer, I’m coming for you next.”

I wasn’t really at ease.

Rather, I was just telling the truth.

I decided to say one more thing.

“Yiyi’s arrow shot down nine suns. How can you use the power of the sun in front of him? It’s clear that you can’t see even a few steps ahead.”

Swish!

At the end of my words, a single arrow flew instead of a downpour of arrows.

The white arrow pierced the horn and sun disk precisely.
