Episode 112: New People (5)

Hermit Crab Academy's office.

“Come on, say hello to everyone. These are the new teachers. And this is Eunsol, who is in charge of the English department. Ji-Sung Park, who is in charge of mathematics. Lastly, the Vice President.”

We introduced each other to the newly hired instructors and the original members of Hermit Crab Academy.

OK.

"Hello! It is a strong one.”

"nice to see you. It’s called the Ministry of Justice!”

Ambitious greetings from newly hired instructors.

“It’s Eunsol.”

“My name is Ji-Sung Park.”

"haha. There are a lot of people who are full of fighting.”

The relaxed greetings of the hermit crab academy members came and went among the people.

So after introducing each other to some extent.

“Now then, I have to guide you. Those in the math department can follow Ji Sung, and those in the English department can follow teacher Eun Sol.”

He looked at the instructors and said.

Then, the eyes of the new instructors turned to Ji Sung and Eun Sol.

Park Ji-sung with a nice smile.

Eunsol with a soft smile.

There was a sense of relief and anticipation on the faces of the instructors who saw the two of them.

No matter how much solo play is a school job, if the person right above you is not a normal person, difficulties will arise in the school life.

“They are both in charge of the math and English department, respectively, so if you have any questions, you can ask them. Then Eunsol and Jisung, please.”

Jisung and Eunsol nodded their heads after hearing my words.

“Then let’s briefly talk about each team.”

Then Ji Sung and Eun Sol led the instructors back to their seats.

It was like ducklings chasing after their mother.

I looked at them with a happy expression.

That the hermit crab academy was finally ready for normal operation, it was because seeing that image made me realize again.

In fact, in the meantime, I was busy taking care of nearly 150 students with the power of only me, Eunsol, Jisung, the director, and Arin.

Thanks to this, I was earning close to 200 million won in net profit every month.

Even if the academy members worked hard to take care of the students while saving their sleep, it was not easy to cover the lack of work.

No matter how large the academy grew, the number of instructors to maintain that size was absolutely insufficient.

But.

'Now that's not going to happen.'

I looked around the office once.

Then the vice president is tapping the keyboard from one side.

Ji Sung-Sung and the math instructors who are busy organizing their desks.

And next to him, Eunsol and the English language instructors were talking to each other.

‘Now we can operate at scale.’

A total of 12 new instructors were recruited through recruitment over the past two weeks.

There were 4 students in the Mathematics Department, 5 in the English Department, and 3 in the Korean Language Department.

If we included two assistant instructors to help the instructors, we were able to take care of the current students as well as those beyond them.

Of course, there were still plenty of empty seats in the classroom.

The position was planned to be expanded after seeing the trend of more students coming in.

‘Because we cannot ignore the salaries of instructors.’

So when I look around the classroom and think about my future plans.

“I… the manager.”

Someone's voice came from behind.

When I turned my head, Hana Kang was looking at me with a nervous face.

"Yes? Why?”

when i ask

“I…but our team leader hasn’t come yet?”

Kang Hana said in a cautious tone.

Oh, I did something.

Apparently, they were looking for the head of the Korean language department to guide them.

After all, I introduced the team leader only to the English and Mathematics departments earlier.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“Oh, you didn’t know yet.”

“...?”He slowly opened his mouth to the people of the Korean language department who were making a puzzled expression.

“The head of the Korean language department is me.”

OK.

"Yes? Ji... Really?”

They looked at me with expressions as if they had heard Darth Vader's confession.

"Yes. For now.”

Let me answer calmly.

The instructors' faces hardened.

Apparently, it was an unexpected greeting from their point of view.

At least, it seems that he wanted someone who was not burdened like the English or Mathematics department to be the team leader.

“Now, everyone, come this way.”

After talking to them, I walked away slowly.

The Korean language instructors started following me with a tense expression on their faces.

after a while.

“Now, you can use the desk over here.”

He said, pointing to the desks on one side of the classroom.

Then, the Korean language instructors began to organize the luggage with the expression of a daughter-in-law afraid that the naughty mother-in-law would wake her up.

Because right next to their seat...

Because the letters [Director's Office] were flashing.

“·················ogue.”

I saw them glancing around at me and organizing my luggage.

A bitter smile formed on his lips.

But that didn't mean they didn't like it.

It wasn't that I didn't really know their hearts anyway.

‘I would be stunned to know that I was originally going to use the same seat without the director’s office.’

I looked at the director's office and thought.

Originally, I was going to use a similar position with other instructors like other team leaders.

Probably because I was more familiar with the name of instructor Kim Jun-young than the name of the director.

However.

‘Director Heo Heo should stay away from the instructors.’

'right. If Teacher Kim shared the same seat, maybe they wouldn’t be able to drink water properly?’

‘I also think it’s good to follow other people’s advice just this time.’

To the extreme disapproval of other people who heard my thoughts.

‘Hey, do you really need to do that?’

I decided to create a small space in one side of the classroom while thinking about it.

But now that I look at it, if I had used the same seat as the other instructors according to my insistence, it would have been a situation where the instructors could not even drink water properly, as Ji Sung-nim said.

‘I’m still more comfortable with the instructor than the director.’

I shook my head.

Unfortunately, it was something I had to get used to.

After all, I didn't want to give up my position as a director and return to my position as a lecturer.

“Everyone, please take it easy. If you need a multi-tap, please let me know. First of all, I am the leader.”

When I said that, the Korean language instructors nodded their heads awkwardly.

But as he nodded, it seemed he had no intention of asking anything from me.

‘It will get better when we get to know each other.’

By the time the instructors had finished organizing their luggage.

“Well then, shall we get together for a moment?”

I said.

Then, the instructors put down the things they were organizing and came to my place.

I gave them a cup of tea and slowly opened my mouth.

“For now, I plan to hand over the position of team leader of the Korean language department to someone else soon.”

The instructors, who were drinking tea with a cautious attitude, looked at me with a surprised expression.

“Is someone else coming?”

Kang Hana said with a curious expression.

In fact, most of the instructors who came in this time were in their late 20s to early 30s, and their careers were arduous.

So, she seemed to think that, naturally, she would invite an experienced lecturer from outside as the team leader.

However.

"no. I am going to choose one of you.”

I never thought of that.

Personally, I agree with the saying that the place makes the person.

Then, as soon as the words were finished, Hana Kang raised her hand.

As I nodded her head, she opened her eyes and opened her mouth.

“Are you going to decide right after the probationary period is over?”

From the looks of it, it seems that he is aiming for the position of team leader in his heart.

In fact, it is worth it.

Once you take on the position of team leader, your salary as well as your speaking power within the academy will be much higher than that of a regular lecturer.

Then, a light of vigilance appeared on the faces of the other Korean language teachers who listened to her.

From the looks of it, everyone seemed to have a bit of a heart for the position of the team leader of the Korean language department.

Not bad in terms of improvement.

From a manager's point of view, this was welcome.

However.

“I’m not going to pick it up right away.”

Excessive competition was not allowed.

“A month is not a very long time to judge which of you is the right person for the position of team leader.”

I looked at everyone and opened my mouth.

“But it won’t take long.”

Then she said Kang Hana raised her head.

Eyes full of longing.

But it wasn't just her.

I made eye contact with the instructors who looked at me with ambitious expressions.

This is where it really starts.

* * *

“The sniper that came after a long time! broadcast! Everyone, did you miss me?”

Let's shout in front of the cam with a lively voice.

[User 1: Oh! it started! it started!]

[User 5: I was waiting!!!!]

[User 20: Hahaha Yuna! It's the first time in a few weeks!?]

[User 770: Ugh! First of all, the night wind is one shot reload! launch!]

In an instant, viewers took over the chat window.

And right away.

['User 770' presented '500 Night Balloons'. Congratulations.]

['User 5' presented '10 Night Balloons'. Congratulations.]

['User 1' presented '30 Night Balloons'. Congratulations.]

.

.

Support from users started pouring in.

Then Eunsol and Yuna, who were next to me, looked at the chat window with slightly surprised expressions.

Probably because I thought that people's interest would have diminished to some extent since I took a break from broadcasting for the past two weeks.

But in reality, rather than diminishing interest, people's interest seemed to have increased.

I looked at the camera and opened my mouth.

“Thank you very much to everyone who supported us. It's been a long time since I've been here, but it's nice to be greeted like this as soon as you arrive."

Then, various words started popping up in the chat window.

I've been wanting to see you for a while.

Why haven't you done it in a while?

Please don't disappear again, etc.

Most of them were words that showed affection for sniper broadcasting.

"Yes. Sorry everyone and thank you again. As previously announced on the blog, we were unable to broadcast for two weeks because our academy moved to an expansion.”

I looked at the camera and opened my mouth.

“So, did we prepare a small event as an apology? How about an event everyone? Shall we not?”

You can't eat this all the time, isn't it?

Viewers say, 'Event! Event!’ Sing the song.

“Then, 50,000 viewers of the sniper broadcast, let’s start the hermit crab academy expansion commemorative event ‘Catch the Hermit Crab’ from now on.”

“It's simple. I would like to present some problems related to our academy. If you get it right, we will send you a small prize.”

I stopped her and signaled Yuna Kim to prepare.

"Rager!"

Yuna Kim nodded her head and took out her product she had prepared and held it in her hand.

I slowly opened my mouth.“Some products are just...!”

Then, as if Yuna Kim was waiting, she held a chicken-shaped card in her hand.

"Voila! Chicken Gift Corn!”

“Your all-you-can-eat dinner. Chicken. We have a sufficient number of gift cones in stock, so we hope you will work hard to guess.”

Then the chat in the chat window started going up.

[User 40: All? lol]

[User 1: Whoops God! lol]

[User 20: If it's a quiz, I'm confident!]

As expected, the power of chicken was strong.

I loosened my neck a bit and then started talking into the mic.

“Now then, let’s go to the problem! First problem! What is Yuna, the self-proclaimed sniper broadcast mascot, her favorite food in the world?”

[User 1: Well, isn't that also chicken? Because it is a Goddess!]

[User 5: No, if you're my age, um... is it tteokbokki?]

[User 20: It looks like ice cream to me?]

[User 100: Macaron! Last time I saw you eating macarons. Yuna sister!]

At that time, Yuna Kim, who was looking at her chatting window, smiled and gave me the correct answer.

I opened my mouth slowly, looking at the camera.

“The answer is macarons! [User 100] who gave the correct answer will send you a chicken gift cone with Yotube ID, so please enjoy it.”

Then the people who got the correct answer later than [user 100] started to clamor.

[User 382: No, I also made macarons!]

[User 112: Me too! Give me too!]

I opened my mouth slowly, looking at the chat window.

“There are still plenty of gift cones left, so please do not be disappointed if you are wrong or late, and please continue to solve the problem!”

“Now, let’s go to the next question. How old is Eunsol, who is the English team leader at our academy?”

When the next question appeared, people's attention was focused on it in an instant.

[User 423: Um, Eunsol-sama? age?]

[User 34: 20s?]

[User 234: Surprisingly, he may be in his 30s...]

[User 23: I'm definitely not in my 30s lol]

[User 322: Yaㅤㅇㅣㅋ A blood line just stood on Eunsol's forehead!]

Surprisingly, after a while, the correct answer came out.

“Ah yes everyone, the correct answer is 28 years old. The 30-year-olds were a little too human. We will send chicken to the ID of [user 5] who got the correct answer.”

But then.

[User 54: Huh? Come to think of it, Junyoung is 33 years old, so Eunsol was in high school when Junyoung was in college, right?]

One of the viewers asked me.

"Ah yes. I guess so.”

I nodded and said.

It was a thoughtless word.

However?

Suddenly Eunsol's face turns red.

···what?

"Eunsol, if it's hot, you can go out for a while and come back..."

“Oh, no. I just suddenly got a fever. You will be fine soon.”

um, what It was a little weird, but I thought I was fine.

But in the meantime.

The chat room started to get noisy.

[User 1: A jackpot event! Jackpot case! There's a riot in the other room now!]

[User 5: What's going on?]

[User 20: Hahaha, did you see that too?]

The moment I was looking at the chat window for something.

[User 20: https://www.yotube.com/?gl=KR&hl=koloa/ For those who haven't seen it yet, use the link here and check it out because it's great]

A link came up.

Viewers kept asking me to check, as if they had already seen the link.

‘What is it?’

I tried clicking the link.

OK.

News articles written in English pop up all over the place. It seems to be quite a foreign topic.

Next to him, Eunsol slowly translated the news leadlines.

“Total prize money of $3 million. The 1st Yotube Worldwide Quiz Contest...?”
