Thursday, November 20, 2020.

Finally, the day of the final battle dawned.

I slowly opened my mouth as I looked at the countless instructors sitting in front of me, their eyes filled with seething heat.

“Are you all ready?”

Then the instructors who were sitting in their seats began to shout in a loud voice.

"Yep! Ready!”

“Just leave it to me!”

“I was waiting!”

Something that wouldn't normally happen. It was an unusual reaction. Because if it were like any other time, they were gentle tremblings trying to keep the name of teacher.

But today... It was different.

[2021 College Scholastic Ability Test]

Today is the day of the SAT.

It was a day to check the blood, sweat and tears of the past year.

Of course, it was 700,000 high school 3rd and N students nationwide who took the SAT.

'Even the instructors are nervous. It all depends on the grades of the students.’

So, it was not unreasonable for the instructors to burn like this.

After today, their status will also be very different from what they are now.

"great. As the director, I am truly grateful to the teachers for participating so diligently.”

Then the instructors looked at me with their eyes shining. I looked into their eyes and opened my mouth slowly.

“Okay, then, let’s tell each team and the school you will be in charge of. Team leader Lee Arin?”

As if Irene was waiting, she quickly got up from her seat. Then she stood up straight and started calling the instructors by name.

“Mr. OO Choi, Mr. OO Kim, Mr. OO.”

"Yep!"

“The three of you, please go to Gangdong Middle School.”

"Yep!"

“And Mr. Lee OO, Mr. Park OO, and Mr. OO Kim.”

"Yep."

“I think the three should go to Whiram High School.”

"Yep"

"to the next… .”

A name that is called incessantly. The instructors put on a subtle smile on their lips.

By this time, you should have known that most of the people who were close to each other were assigned to the same school.

What I want to do today is... Taking care of students' mental health. Watching the students last as they enter the exam hall. That was it.

Of course, these things were originally done by the students' families or the teachers and juniors of the students' schools.

However.

‘There is no other school that cannot be called a school.’

In fact, in terms of time alone, the academy was also the place where students spent most of their time and depended on it.

So, the more people standing in front of them before the first test in their lives, the better.

‘There is nothing more painful than walking through an empty school gate.’

Therefore, we decided to take responsibility for the students until the end.

That too… To the extent that, after this test is over, the rumors that the head of the hermit crab academy is crazy spread throughout the Dead Sea.

That's when I was thinking about this plan.

“… Lastly, Mr. OO and Mr. OO Park are from Gyeongan Middle School. That is all."

After finishing her call, Ia Lin covered the file iron she was holding.

I looked around the instructors in front of me.

“Did each of you know where he was going?”

OK."Yep!"

Instructors with concise answers.

I nodded and opened my mouth.

"great. Now, from now on, the administration team will hand out the list and photos of the students. Of course, as you all know, I'm giving it just in case, so if you're worried about it, please check it again. As much as possible, it is a school with students in the class, but there are cases where this is not the case... And as I said before, did you bring the letters?”

Most of the instructors nodded their heads. But there were some people who avoided my gaze with awkward expressions.

“There is still plenty of time, so if you haven’t prepared it yet, please write it quickly from now on. Oh, and to those who wrote letters… All you have to do is put a letter in the gift provided by the academy.”

When I finished speaking, Irein stood up and opened the door to the classroom.

Soon after, the other staff began to bring gifts prepared by the academy.

“The students’ names are written on each gift bag, so please put them in accordingly.”

However?

The faces of the instructors who opened the gift bag to write a letter hardened subtly.

I looked at it and smiled brightly.

In fact, I did just that.

Inside the envelope they saw... … .

[Jeongeup Baek Ok-sun Master's Homemade Oat Sticky Rice Cake Hermit Crab Edition]

[Jeju Island Wemi Luxury Tangerine Golden Flavor Hermit Crab Edition]

[Right-handed analog hermit crab edition]

.

.

The gifts specially ordered for the students of Hermit Crab Academy will be neatly packaged.

“Director, did you pass this on to the branch students as well?”

One of the instructors asked.

I nodded.

“Aren’t those students from our academy? Of course I have to give it all back.”

For a moment, the instructors' faces become blank as if they had been hit with a hammer.

He seemed to have noticed that the gifts in the gift bag would have cost quite a lot of money.

'I heard a lot. Because the price of any apartment was enough.’

Actually, there was no need to do this in the first place.

Because like everyone else, I could only buy a few boxes of chocolate and turn them around, and then just give it a go.

However, I did not want to end the last year with those who have shared joy, sorrow, pain, and hope in such a hazy way.

I just wanted to hold each person's hand, but... As long as there was only one body, we couldn't go all the way.

That's why I wanted to express that feeling even in this way.

so after a while.

When the instructors put all the letters they had prepared in the gift bag.

"Oh right. Manager. But do you each move in your own car?”

One of the instructors asked me as if he had suddenly remembered.

I shook my head well.

"no."

“Oh, then, do you go to the school bus?”

"no."

"then… ?”

I opened my mouth as I looked at the people with puzzled expressions.

“Now is the time to arrive. Everyone, pack your bags and go outside.”

“… ???”

“Maybe you can look forward to it.”

* * * *

Inside the spacious Starcraft van.

Yuna Kim looked at her organizing notes with an anxious complexion.

This was because in a few hours, the time when this organizing note was no longer needed was approaching.

But then.

“Yeon-ah, would you like some chocolate?”

Kim Yeon-seo asked Yuna Kim in a cautious tone.

It seemed that she was trying to relieve the tension of her brother, who had been shaking her hand since before.

However.

“No, sister. I'm fine."

Yuna Kim refused Kim Yeon-seo's offer with a crying expression.

She knew Kim Yeon-seo's heart to release her own tension, but it was because her CSAT-named week seemed incomprehensible to the pressure.

“Whew… .”

Yuna Kim took a deep breath as she looked at her trembling hands.

I'd rather not know if she knew anything, if she had been in the 20th Corps before, when she didn't know anything about it, if she had done that, she wouldn't be able to laugh and talk even at this moment.

But now she... She could never do that.

Because she now had a goal she had not told anyone.

And to achieve her goal, it was essential for her to get a good score on this exam.

So her condition is natural tension of tension.

Her hands and feet were trembling and her stomach was pounding.

If she ruins her exam today, she'll get her test scores lower than she thought, because her own goals are too far away.

‘Kim Yuna, make up your mind!’

Her family looked at her like her with her pitiful eyes.

The SAT is essentially a battle with oneself. All they could do for her was to pray that she hopes her exams are over.

But then.

Kakao Talk-

Yuna Kim's cell phone rang.

Then, Yuna Kim, who had just killed her before, checked her phone as quickly as her kite snatching her prey.

In an instant, a flower bloomed on her face, Yuna Kim.

Her family looked at her Kim Yuna with a puzzled expression on her face.

She was like her hedgehog with her thorns upright until just a second ago, she is what she is today. Because it was like a Bennett puppy that just got out of its mother's arms.

However, whether or not she knows their thoughts, Kim Yu-na checked her cell phone and started preparing to go out with her luggage.

She opened her mouth as if she was not surprised by her sudden expression.

“Yeon-ah, do you want to go already? We still have plenty of time, but can we come in later?”

“No, I’m not in yet!”

"then?"

“Sam has arrived!”

“… school teacher?”

“Ah no. Joon-Young! Mom and Dad! I'll be there after I'm in, so go in first!"

Then someone quickly jumped out of the car to catch him.

“… … ”

After Yuna Kim got out of the car, Yuna's father, who looked at each other's faces for a while, sighed and got up.

“Shall we go out too?”

However, it was because she could not send Yuna Kim into her exam hall as it is.

OK.

“It must be so. Because Yuna probably won't come back."

The other family members also got up and nodded.

and after a while.

quiver-

in front of them out of the car.

[Hermit crab]

The limousine bus with the name written in big letters stopped.

“… … .”

When they heard Yuna's words, they thought of a school bus at most, but they couldn't keep their mouths shut as they looked up at the bus in front of them.

No, because it was a sight I never thought I would see on the morning of the entrance exam.

That's when they looked up at the bus with blank expressions.

win-

I hear the hydraulic pressure drop on the bus door... In it, Kim Jun-young appeared.* * * *

“Sam! Can I eat this?”

I turned my head to the sound of a ringing in my ear. Then, Kim Yuna, who was sitting on the massage chair looking at her organizing notes, was pointing at her chocolate pudding.

She seemed to be asking if she could eat chocolate pudding.

If it was someone else, it would have been worth nodding her head right away without worrying about it... … .

The problem was that the person who asked that was Yuna Kim.

Because, on her side table next to her, the remnants of the chocolates she slaughtered were piled up like a mountain.

“… … .”

Well… I was a little worried, but considering how much Yuna Kim usually eats, I thought it would be okay to that extent.

It's probably unavoidable to crave a party on a day like today.

'Hmm… Maybe eating some chocolate won't make a big deal out of it, right?'

As I nodded with the words to eat in moderation,

"Oh yea!"

Yuna Kim smiled her hearty smile and began to spit her chocolate.

Well, it looks like you're eating more than I expected... … .

'I'll be fine. Yuna must have thoughts.’

I shook my head and looked around.

OK.

I caught my eye of the students lying on the massage chairs, the students studying in the partition, and the parents chatting while sitting at the table.

This is a rest bus made by remodeling a large limousine bus. It was inside the so-called ‘hermit crab exam bus’.

When I first decided to take care of the students, I had a few concerns.

‘How can I reduce the pressure on students?’

‘How can I make my students take the exam in good health?’

‘How can I remember the day of the SAT in students’ minds as a pleasant and sweet day rather than a painful day?’

And at the end of that worry, I decided to create a space where students can rest comfortably, not just rest, but have fun.

We have prepared a bus with almost everything, including massage chairs to relieve students' fatigue, simple washroom facilities, simple meals and snacks, and the best lunch boxes made by the hotel.

It was because I thought that it would have a better effect on the students to sit on a comfortable massage chair and drink hot cocoa and prepare for the exam than to eat cold tangerines while shaking in the classroom.

And as a result.

“When I got out of the house, I felt uncomfortable because I couldn’t wash it, but it’s refreshing.”

“Sam! Uh, how much is this massager? We want to have one in our house.”

“Oh, it’s chocolate, but it’s not very sweet. But it's delicious! What does this taste like?”

The happy faces of the students.

“Thanks to the director, I have a good rest. thank you."

“Heh heh, I never dreamed that I would be resting in a place like this on the day of the SAT.”

“After all, everyone has a reason to go to hermit crab academy or hermit crab academy.”

The satisfied laughter of the parents was able to catch both.

I smiled and nodded my head at their words.

They may think that I have made an excessive investment, but in fact, the money I heard now was not a lot of money compared to what I would get.

Because if my predictions were correct, I'll be getting back to you with a lot more money than the money I've spent now.

So for now, it was right to pay attention to the convenience of the students as much as possible.

This year's blue will start with them.

‘Not much left.’

* * * *

and after a while.

[8:00 pm]

When the check-in time is about 10 minutes left.

“I will go!”

“Ah, I’ll come with a perfect score!”

“Sam! Please fight!”

The students stood up and greeted each other with fresh faces.

I looked at them and opened my mouth.

"Fighting! Everyone, never give up!”
