The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend

100 – Episode 100 Ah, how can I put up with Cheonyuhak’s birthday party! (1)

Let’s talk about Cheonhwa Group for a moment.

Among the five largest conglomerates representing Korea, he is a prestigious family who holds the first place by an overwhelming margin.

Chun Yu-hak’s great-grandfather, the grandfather of the present family, is not only wealthy, but also a famous figure as a hero who took the lead and worked for the world even before the hero system was established in the early days of the dimensional collision.

Well, to put it simply, it’s a chaebol family from a typical modern fantasy.

There are several characteristics of blood in such a cloth family. Looking at the external characteristics, first of all, there is ridiculously gorgeous blond hair.

Because of his great-grandfather’s blood, all those who were born in the heavenly family have dark blond hair.

Next comes the beautiful appearance.

All of them are endowed with a plastically beautiful appearance, but to be honest, this was not Chun Yu-hak, but his sister’s friend’s trick, who wanted her to appear as a heroine.

Okay, and this is the last one. This is not an external factor, but their personality, an internal factor. Most of them are flashy and like to stand out.

I like talented people just by looking at Cheonyuhak right now, but don’t you enjoy standing out yourself more than that?

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

“A birthday party?”

“…Yes, my father said to invite all of you.”

Even a guy who likes to stand out like that is embarrassed when his parents throw their 17-year-old son’s birthday party on a fucking huge scale, almost like a festival.

Ah, hahahaha I couldn’t stand the birthday party at Cheon Study Abroad ha ha ha ha

How embarrassing Cheonyuhak is, his usual dignified attitude was nowhere to be found, he was holding his face with one hand and shaking his head.

Oh, really.

It couldn’t be better than the awesome news that gives you energy on a Monday morning when you tend to lose energy.

Actually, I was aware of Cheon Yu-hak’s birthday, but in the original work, it passed without a hitch in a dark atmosphere, so I never imagined that such a fun event would be held.

It’s not just me, but all the other kids are laughing or showing interest, so it’s not a strange reaction.

Only lilacs.

“Still, I’m glad you threw a party on my birthday and it seems like we got along well.”

He was saying such a cheesy thing, but seeing that his expression was slightly shaking, he must have been anticipating it in his heart.

That Chun Yu-hak is not a great person to be ashamed of on a fairly large scale.

Bad guy. Do you think that’s the worst thing you see sometimes? Rather laugh out loud, Illak!

But I have a small question that suddenly popped into my head.

“Hey, studying abroad.”

“…Why is that?”

Oh, it’s refreshing to see such a low spirits.

“If you’re embarrassed that much, shouldn’t you just not invite us?”

It’s already embarrassing to have such a large birthday party, but in fact, the reason he’s fundamentally shy right now is probably because he knows we’re coming.

But if you don’t like that, you don’t have to invite them.

“…He said he would go find it himself.”

“Huh?”

“They said that if I don’t invite you, they won’t end with invitations, but will carefully visit the academy cadets one by one and invite them to the party.”

…Oh, my God. Wasn’t the situation worse than you thought?

A father who throws his 17-year-old son’s birthday party as a large-scale event, visits the school and invites all the students one by one if the son says he doesn’t invite his friends…?

Even that’s the head of Korea’s top conglomerate…?

I can’t end it with the word “Fuckin’ bad”.

My father was a real man.

No, how big of a party is he calling all the academy cadets…?

At this point, I’m a bit scared too, right?

“Anyway, since that has happened, everyone should measure their clothing size.”

“… Huh?”

“…Ah, you’ll have your own suit, so it doesn’t matter, but the other kids don’t. I just need it because I need to match a dress or a suit.”

…Wasn’t that a birthday party?

I imagined it to be large because it was said to be very large. Are you going to build it bigger and more splendid than I thought?

Or was there an event like Shiba Cheonyuhak’s birth festival, but I didn’t know about it because it wasn’t written in the setting book?

I was a bit nervous when Cheon Yu-hak said, ‘It looks like your father is going to do something grandiose.’

Not only me, but the other kids’ expressions darkened a little at the expression of the guy who was too dark.

“…Don’t worry. Because it won’t hurt you I try to minimize the troublesome procedures as much as possible and enjoy it.”

When he said that, his face looked like he had already given up somewhere.

*

Yes, I will be honest.

I was complacent.

No matter how much it is an academy novel and a crazy worldview, the line of common sense will be kept.

Well, even if you are from the nation’s top conglomerate family, how sincere would you be on your son’s birthday? At best, he would rent a hotel and throw a party like my father did.

That’s exactly what I thought.

The moment I saw a flying boat flying through the sky while leaving school together, I had to realize what a crazy idea it was.

-A birthday party for Chun Yu-hak, the eldest son of Cheonhwa Group. Cheonhwa Group provides free meals and drinks.

-Buffet-style meals by inviting famous star chefs! A large number of theater companies and musicians are invited…!

-All halls of Cheonhwa Hotel temporarily open!

-Tons of things to see and do! At night, a colorful parade is waiting for you to go around the night city!

– Wow! There has never been a festival like this before…!!!

“Wow…”

Hani was just looking up at the sky in admiration.

“…Cheer up.”

Even Lilac shook her head wondering if she couldn’t use her shield anymore.

Yuna Lee looked at the billboard of the flying boat and the face of Chun Yu-hak in turns and prayed.

“Yu, studying abroad is fine. You must have thoughts. He probably actually controls the number of people and separates really important guests from regular visitors!”

Only Zuri was desperately trying to hit the shield, but to my eyes it only seems to be hitting with the shield.

Unexpectedly, Gaeul Kim was thinking hard about something, but it probably isn’t that important.

“Ha.”

And what was the reaction of the long-awaited Chun Yu-hak, he returned to his usual cool face, smiled, and looked at the airship with blank eyes for a long time.

“I’m going crazy.”

We desperately held back our laughter because we were so sad that there was nothing we could do other than look at him with his cool face and even his ears stained red.

No, but really.

This is the mindset of the characters in the novel…?

To celebrate your 17-year-old son’s birthday, prepare a parade with airships in the sky? As the head of Korea’s top corporation and as a parent of an adolescent son, I want to ask if this judgment is really correct.

*

Returning home, Cheon Yu-hak thought about dying for the first time in his life.

No, every birthday was grandiose.

I met a lot of people at parties, such as gifts and political figures.

…Coming to think of it, it seemed like it was the first time since that incident that I celebrated my birthday this big.

The day he and Kang So-hyun first met.

Since the day he had a ridiculous accident and he stood alone to stop him, his father and family had been quiet as if they were going to sleep for a while.

-Aren’t you afraid of me…?

I know it’s not now, but at the time I thought my family was afraid of me.

Because I was too young to notice that everyone kept their distance from me because they thought of me.

For asking that question to the only guy who talked to me then and thereafter.

Maybe I was foolish.

Yes, after hearing that answer that day. Maybe I’ve come to regard him as a friend in the true sense of the word.

-What are you saying, you were developed by me~ Yeah, I’m not scared at all! Hee hee hee!

Oh, no. At the time, I think I wanted to put a fist on a smiling face.

“Ah, did you come to study abroad?”

“Hmm? Sister? It’s strange that you’re home on weekdays.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a grandiose birthday party like this. I was asked to participate.”

“My birthday is Friday. Do you still have some time left?”

“Yes, but will your father listen?”

“…Sorry.”

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault. Looking at the sky today, you must be suffering the most, right?”

“…No.”

If the father was worried about his son’s mental weakness and wanted to give him mental training, it was quite effective, so I would like to ask him to stop, but it was still tolerable.

“Oh, is Sohyeon coming too? I heard that Nahyun got better.”

“Yes, I think it will come. Other than that, some friends are coming.”

“…Oh, do you have any other friends besides Sohyun?”

“I know very well that my personality is a problem for smooth relationships. But there are a few people I’m close with, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Oh, our studying abroad is great. Ah, I also want to meet Sohyun after a long time. Looking at the picture Nahyun sent me, she still looks pretty.”

… Considering what had happened in her childhood, the words that she probably never wanted to see came to her throat, but he restrained himself.

Surely, if he said this, his sister would bother him.

“Whoa, anyway, I hope my father doesn’t do something more.”

“Well, that must be hard, right?”

“…Yes?”

“Actually, I was going to tell you earlier…”

The moment my sister was about to open her mouth, I heard my father’s voice screaming from afar.

“Not enough…!!!!”

…Not enough? What? If this is not enough, how much more embarrassing experience do we have to go through?

“This kind of birthday party that anyone can do is not the best…!”

Well? I don’t think there are many people who have experienced a birthday party like this other than myself.

My father came out of the door and flew right in front of us with pure white wings spread on his back like his own symbol.

“I’ve been thinking about it, and I don’t think a festival that is just big and fancy can’t be the best party.”

“I’m sure not, but if you’re thinking of downsizing, I’m in favor.”

“It’s still not enough, but what about reducing the line?”

Has there been anything that made you sad recently? Does not exist.

You seriously think this is for me.

I’m going crazy.

“As expected.”

“…Yes.”

“It seems that love is lacking.”

“…Yes?”

“Youth is love! Isn’t it a topic that kids your age will be most interested in?”

Well, I can’t really say no, but it depends on the person…? At least he himself is more interested in martial arts than love.

“However, it would be difficult for the elderly to enjoy it if it was set in a casual atmosphere like a blind date.

That’s fortunate. No, isn’t it fortunate?

“So the concept of your birthday party this time is a prom.”

It wasn’t fortunate at all…!

“Well, by any chance, is the martial art you are talking about a martial art that a martial artist should follow?”

“That sounds like fun too, but after all, isn’t that what a prom is, dancing and kissing each other?”

“Father.”

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“Could you take a look at it just once…?”

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of forcing it on the general public. It is a ball held in the main building with only state guests and invited guests like your friends.”

Anyway, my father seemed to have already been hooked on the concept of prom.

Now that this has happened, there will be no way to stop the decision without forcibly inheriting the title of head of the household.

Once you decide, do it.

Because that was my father’s motto.

“I need to rewrite the invitation! I want everyone to come with their partners!”

After saying that, my father flapped his wings again and flew towards his room.

…How will I see their faces tomorrow?

Actually, I thought I knew why my father acted like that.

Because you’re young, it’s probably half a bluff to talk about the interests of people your age.

Perhaps the daughter-in-law candidates who saw themselves at the birthday party. So, it must be an intention to introduce you to the women you have chosen as my wives.

…And half of you must have an ulterior motive that you want to see your children dating.

A father who cares about his son’s friend’s love story…

He’s always been a respectable father, but today, for real.

“…That sucks.”

It was really fucking bad.
