Episode 339
In the end, a place makes a person.
Gaon’s position, which was strengthened by the activities of party members including Shin Yoo-seong, made Jin Byeong-cheol harmful. Now that there is no place that threatens the position of Gaon in Korea beyond the prestigious school, Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal, has long become a symbol of peace like a white dove.
[Good job. The tower looks scary at first, but in front of the courage of the hunters with their colleagues!! After all, isn’t it just a game of numbers?]
Of course, Jin Byeong-cheol, as if he hadn’t abandoned his last greed, told Shin Yoo-seong to go around and challenge the 30th floor.
‘…Until this point, you’ve been the usual principal.’
However, Jin Byung-cheol’s change occurred after that.
[Oh and that… Belden enrolled in Eita? This is my entrance gift.]
Although there was a minor mistake in mistaking Velvet’s name for Velden, Jin Byeong-cheol handed over a square box as Velvet’s entrance gift.
I found out how great the value of the box was after searching for Pocket.
[Universal Hunter Set (for children)]
[Owner of the Mind’s Eye! Strong recommendation from Shoichi, the best hunter in Japan!]
[Shoichi: It has performance that is not lacking at all even if active hunters use it.]
[Academy City Branch Manager! A proven product recommended by famous hunter Meirin!]
[Meirin: Yes. I recommend it.]
[The product that is a hot topic as a gift from 7th grade hunter Roger to his nephew!]
[Product price: 98,000,000 won]
The price of the hunter item that Velvet received as an entrance gift is a whopping 9.8 million won.
‘By the way, the headmaster can make such an amazing thing… for this much money… I could make a lake out of banana milk.’
Shin Yooseong had never taken out the artifacts or money he had obtained for personal use. Thanks to that, the amount of 9.8 million won felt so enormous.
‘Since the principal gave me such an amazing item… I should give Velvet an unforgettable present.’
Then, as a parent, it is a natural thing for you to give Velvet an even better gift.
“It’s a gift for Velvet…”

No matter how big the world is.
Even if it is the first test.
No matter how many mistakes you made.
“Kyauuu- I’m second!”
There’s no way the score will change if you keep checking again, but Velvet checked the scorecard again.
[Gathering Test Scorecard]
[1: Yuhan – 335 Points]
[2: Velvet – 331 Points]
[3: Radian – 92
Points ]
Orca comforted Velvet.
“Little Master! He must have taken the same test before. The next test is, of course, the master’s victory!”
But Velvet shook her head.
I narrowed my eyes and rejected Orca’s gentle consolation too resolutely.
“No, this is Velvet’s mistake! Velvet is… you know! Such an easy mind! That you’re just repeating the same mistakes!”
“Here, little master…”
“Don’t worry! Climb! We’re going to make Velvet stronger over the holidays! And Velvet knows how to be strong!”
How can a dragon that is not even a few years old become stronger than this? Velvet’s topic made even Orca, the former boss of the tower, intrigued.
“…How Dad became stronger after hearing from Sumire’s mother!”
In addition, when Shin Yoo-seong’s name was mentioned, the credibility of Velvet’s claim skyrocketed.
“Oh, that way…”
But there was no easy way.
Strong power, of course, comes with bitter patience and cost.
“Kyahang-! That means going to the mountains and practicing a lot! Velvet won’t come back until she’s the strongest!”
Orca nodded as Velvet started packing up her things for the trekking trip.
‘…little master. You’ve made up your mind!’
Orca looked at Velvet’s determined eyes and made up his mind that he would follow suit.
“Would you like to come! The mountain is a scary notice! So, you must be prepared!”
Velvet and Orca, who now have eyes as determined as one, started preparing for the mountain climb together.
“Socks first! The mountain needs a lot of socks!”
When Chuck-
Velvet pulled out a sock and put it in his pocket, Orca continued to explain as if he had been waiting.
“you’re right! Food, clothing and shelter are the most important things for humans! Among them, righteousness is the basic of basics.”
“You have to put cake in your pocket! Sumire’s mom made it yesterday-!”
“Hmm… Certainly, cake is a high-calorie, high-sugar food! It must be a survival food!”
“And a tent! If you have this, you can make a velvet house anywhere!”
“great! You managed to cover all your food, clothing and shelter with just three items!”
“And a teddy bear! This is what Adela’s mother gave me!”
“Hmm… that’s right.”
Starting with the teddy bear, Velvet’s preparations for the mountain began to get weirder and weirder.
“Because I have to sit down during reading time! Add a desk and a bookshelf! And it will last a long time! You should include a lot of children’s books!
Even if you enter the mountain, do you mean that you should never neglect your studies?
“Hmm…”
I still believe in the performance of the pocket, but isn’t it really dangerous now? However, Velvet’s preparations for climbing the mountain were just the beginning.
“And Velvet drank the bed too! Velvet… can’t sleep on the floor. I hate hard things.”
“Ummm…”
“I’m also taking a break from the sofa.”
“If you sleep in a bed… you don’t need a sofa, right?”
To have a bed and not need a couch sounded like cake and bread to Velvet.
“if! If you’re going to eat cake, you’ll have to sit somewhere! But the bed is not comfortable to sit on!”
Unlike sofas, beds don’t have backrests, so Velvet wasn’t wrong.
“okay! A must-have if you want to sit down and rest instead of lying down!”
In the end, Orca, who was willing to agree with Velvet’s opinion, gave a clear answer.
“As expected, little master shouldn’t go to the mountain!”
“Kyaaang!? why!?”
“Because little masters never adapt! You will be back in one day!”
“Oh, the eyepatch…”
Even if it’s just for today.
After eating a hearty meal of warm rice prepared by Sumire and even cake for dessert, Velvet could not adapt to the lonely and wild life, patting her stomach and taking a nap while listening to the fairy tales Adela read to her.
“Mountains are scary places. It’s a place where you shouldn’t bring a bed, sofa, cake, or doll!”
At Orca’s courageous advice, Velvet sat down.
“Kyaa kyahang! That kind of…”
“And you won’t even be able to eat a warm meal, let alone a storybook.”
Velvet knows the truth.
That the mountain is a harsh world, a world without children’s books and without Sumire’s food.
“I want to ask. Little Master… Does he still have the courage to move on! to get stronger! Can I give up the comfort of the moment!”
hot-!
Velvet stood up from her seat at the question of Orca, who held the fin nicely.
“Orca…”
A person has to sacrifice to get something. Sweet fruit is not given on its own. Velvet was placed at the crossroads of that choice.
Doo-woong!
Having made up her mind after a long thought, Velvet clenched her fists vigorously and said to Orca.
“Then I won’t go to Velvet!”
There are countless ways to become strong.
And in Velvet’s life, there are still more important things than strength!
“Velvet wants to watch fairy tales at home and eat cake!”
At Velvet’s decision, Orca just smiled happily.

Shin Yoo-seong called three people to support him in order to get help with the huge worry of being an entrance gift.
“I see. Admissions gifts are such an important subject!”
The eldest daughter, Sumire, was responsible for the presents for her three younger siblings by herself.
“Hmm, it’s an entrance gift. In fact, we already bought a lot from the center…”
Kim Eun-ah, a solver who solves all problems with ‘money’.
“At times like this, you have to approach it through the eyes of a child.”
There was an unexpected brain adela who insisted on a new approach.
Of course, it was not easy to suddenly think about it from Velvet’s point of view.
If there’s something lacking, I can fill it up, but right now, Velvet is so plentiful. There were four mothers and fathers who would do anything Velvet wanted.
“A child’s gaze…”
Kim Eun-ah pondered.
Then, what did Velvet not do? Should it be restricted to objects? If you want to go somewhere, where does Velvet want to go?
“It’s hard to think about it all of a sudden. How are you, Sumire?”
However, when Kim Eun-ah could not come up with a clear answer no matter how much she squeezed her brain, she handed the baton to Sumire.
“What I wanted when I was young… I wanted to put meat in curry instead of fish cake… Oh, I also wanted to drink high-quality barley tea after seeing the advertisement. And black tea… It’s like a drink for ladies in manga…”
Did Kim Eun-ah think that Sumire’s case wouldn’t be helpful at all? He slowly turned his gaze to Adela.
“What about you, Adela?”
What did you want to have as a child? Adela pondered the question for quite some time.
The only gift he gave his heart was a teddy bear at most, but Adela also had a wish.
[What do you want for this birthday?]
[Whoops, a surprise like this is nice, but Adela rarely asks for anything.]
Yes.
this is the memory
Clearly, Adela had a gift she had so longed for.
[I am…]
Adela, who found her memories through long ruminations, opened her mouth.
“Brother.”
It was a very short word.
“…I’ve always wanted a brother.”
Looking at Adela smiling in bitterness.
“Adela you…”
“Mr. Adela….
Kim Eun-ah and Sumire thought.
“As expected…”
“That’s…”
The most dangerous of these is, of course, Adela.
