Magic world + real world = 12 hours?

04. Ranking

Tiring - When the bell rang, the students each moved busily and sat down in their respective seats, and then the homeroom teacher came in.

Druk - Jisung Oh... no, Teacher Jisung, who comes in with a bright smile and greets the students while holding the attendance sheet.

You can't call me Jisung-ohrabeoni at school, right? Um -

"Hey guys~ How was your weekend?"

[2 - 1]학생들

"It wasn't fun~"

[29]윤지성

"Yeah~ I'm not really curious haha"

To Teacher Ji-seong, who smiled brightly and said he wasn't curious, our reaction was...

[2 - 1]학생들

"Hey.. what is that!"

It's all 'woo'. As expected from that teacher and that student... The school was so lively and had a great atmosphere that I was able to adapt quickly.

..This is all thanks to Teacher Ji-seong's ability to create a good atmosphere. He's the kind of person who always makes you feel good just by looking at him.

[29]윤지성

"Sleep - today is going to be like that, oh my."

[2 - 1]학생들

" why?? "

[2 - 1]학생들

" what?? "

Everyone was taken aback by Teacher Ji-seong's sudden words and was racking their brains trying to figure out what he meant.

I know what that special fact is!

The special news is that the number one student in our school's ability ranking, 'Kim Jae-hwan', has transferred to our class!

I heard that there was a kid named Kim Jae-hwan who was originally in class 2, and he was so famous and had such high magical powers that he caused a lot of trouble. Is that why the teacher of class 2 gave up on being his homeroom teacher?

As a close younger sister of Teacher Ji-seong, I was the first to know about this fact.

Students who don't know that are racking their brains trying to read Teacher Ji's thoughts.

[29]윤지성

"Haha.. That's right, this time our school achieved first place in the rankings.. "

[2 - 1]학생들

" no way..? "

[2 - 1]학생들

"Kim Jaehwan?? Is that Kim Jaehwan?? "

[29]윤지성

"That's right, just like you guys thought... Kim Jae-hwan moved halfway?"

But... that must be the beginning of Teacher Ji's fatigue. Unaware of that, Teacher Ji-seong just smiles brightly.

[2 - 1]학생들

" wow.. "

[2 - 1]학생들

"Come in quickly!"

The children, unable to hide their excitement, immediately turned their gaze to the front door of the classroom where Kim Jae-hwan was about to appear, and as if they had been waiting, the front door opened...

[29]윤지성

"Come in, Jaehwan."

Druk - Kim Jae-hwan walked towards me. One step, two steps. As his long legs stretched out, his captivating appearance caught my eye.

[18]김재환

" high. "

As soon as Kim Jae-hwan came in, he sat down in front of the podium and said hello. Of course, his greeting was just two words, 'Hi.'

I only said those two words... why do I now see Teacher Jisung's future? Already sensing the bullying and squabbling atmosphere, I shook my head from side to side.

[29]윤지성

"Okay - you all know his name, right? Kim Jae-hwan. He's the same age as us... What's one thing that sets us apart?"

[2 - 1]학생들

"Ranked #1!"

Everyone was thinking and saying the same thing. Yes, as expected, he's ranked number one.

[29]윤지성

"Yeah, that's right."

What's so fun about that... Teacher Ji-seong smiled as if he was satisfied with our class's answers.

[29]윤지성

"Well then... that's enough introductions. Where should we sit... Oh, is there a seat you'd like to sit in?"

.. Even though it was an introduction, it was only a few words and that was it.. and Teacher Ji-seong asked Kim Jae-hwan where he wanted to sit first.

Then, Kim Jae-hwan, who had heard Teacher Ji-seong's words, looked around at the classmates.

[18]이여주

" ...? "

As I was looking at Kim Jaehwan's face like that, I had the illusion that I was making eye contact with him. Oh, no way.

[18]박지훈

"Is he looking at me?"

Suddenly, my best friend, Park Ji-hoon, spoke to me. I was a little surprised since I'm usually reserved, but I quickly hid my feelings and started talking.

[18]이여주

"Isn't it because you're so pretty?"

[18]박지훈

"I see."

Park Ji-hoon blushed and scratched the back of his neck as if something was strange. His appearance overlapped with Dae-hwi's, and he looked so cute that I couldn't help but smile like a mother.

Park Ji-hoon was a child with a very pretty face, who didn't talk much and always seemed focused on what he was doing.

I don't know his abilities because we're not that close, but I think it's probably a strong ability.

Because I happened to see it written in the rankings.

Maybe... I think it was ranked 8th... I think it was around that point.

[18]박지훈

"What... why are you looking at me like that?"

Park Ji-hoon blushed and looked at me strangely. I was startled by him, but... I kept thinking that he was so cute that I looked at him with a motherly smile.
