“Therefore, it is a matter of great regret that Shin Sa Imdang is on the 50,000 won banknote. I think it would have been much more meaningful for Yu Gwan-sun, the independence activist, to be featured instead. I believe this is connected to the fact that the South Korean government, when it was first established, couldn’t completely rid itself of pro-Japanese elements…..”
And Friday came again.
After finishing the passionate lecture of the 4th-period Korean history teacher, we ordered chicken from the cafeteria to our clubroom for lunch.
While we were having a heated discussion about whether to put a bed or a computer in the newly expanded space, teacher Jang Hwaeun entered the clubroom during the CA session.
“Hello~! What are you all doing?”
“If you put a computer here, that f*cking punk is gonna watch p*rn here all the time. There’s no need for that…..”
“Konoyaro-! Isn’t the bed also unnecessary because only you can lie down and sleep…..”
[T/N: Konoyaro (コノヤロ) translates to ‘this guy’, ‘this idiot’, ‘this punk’ etc.]
“Alright, stop fighting you two!”
Teacher Hwaeun entered and separated the lively argument of Jinhee and Dukhun.
“I got the range for the surveillance cameras that you asked about. Of course, I made sure no one noticed.”
“Thank you.”
In the midst of the chaotic atmosphere, the Teacher grabbed a magic marker pen and started drawing on the whiteboard.
“The range captured by the surveillance camera extends all the way from the doorframe at the central entrance to the mirror in the main building. The back door is also slightly visible, which makes the range surprisingly wide.”
“Then this way……”
We gathered one by one and stood in front of the whiteboard.
“It seems impossible to get closer. We’ll probably have to stand outside and throw something to break it.”
“Really? In that case, we can stand right by this doorframe, throw something like a rock to break it, and then quickly dash to the other entrance….”
Teacher Jang Hwaeun was helping the students without any hesitation, even though we were breaking the school mirror.
I nodded after hearing the explanation.
“Yes, that would be good. There are no CCTVs anywhere else.”
The main building has four entrances in the four directions.
And like most schools, our main building is an elongated rectangular shape.
Since there are doors in the four directions, north, south, east and west, it might seem like the building is square. However, with one entrance on each side of the hallway, and the front and back doors of the central entrance, it would be more intuitive to say the main building has four entrances.
The CCTV at the central entrance of the main building captures both the north and south, meaning it records both the front and back doors at the same time.
“If we throw it from the main entrance doorframe like this and run straight to the east or west entrance, we might be able to avoid being captured on the surveillance cameras.”
The Teacher drew an escape route with a red magic marker.
“But the problem is not the CCTV, it’s the people.”
“That’s what I’m worried about too, Prez. The soccer team must be playing in the playground now, do you think we can avoid being caught?”
“Well, let’s see.”
I pointed out the window, indicating to them to look down at the playground.
“There’s a little height difference between the podium and the stairs going down. I think it’ll be okay.”
The main building and the playground weren’t on the same flat level; there was a height difference of about five steps.
When the sports day is held, the large and thick stairs are used as seating for the students, where they gather in a crowd to cheer.
The height difference, along with the railing of the platform where the Principal stands during the assembly, should be able to hide us.
“And since they’re all cheering and playing, I don’t think they’ll hear the sound of a mirror breaking……”
“Then, here, this way……”
.
.
.
After a while, the bell for 5th period rang.
We waited for all the students to move to their respective club activity locations and then reviewed our plan once more.
“There are 7 of us. We’ll split up into 3, 3, 1.”
3 at the west entrance, 3 at the east entrance.
We spreaded out everywhere, to keep an eye on whether any teachers were passing by, and to monitor which route was the safest.
The one who would lose in rock-paper-scissor would take the role of the tagger, breaking the mirror in the center staircase.
As soon as they throw a rock and the mirror is broken, the tagger will receive hand signals from the east and west teams and choose the safest route.
Then, everyone would return to the clubroom on the 5th floor.
“Easy, right?”
“Oh, I’m nervous.”
Jinhee let out a mocking laugh.
“It’s been a while since I broke any glasses of school and ran away.”
“Check if things have quieted down. Let’s get ready.”
“Let’s see……”
Gyeongwon, who was watching the playground through the window, came over and opened the door to look out into the corridor.
“Clear.”
“Did everyone go to their clubs?”
After looking around, I called the club members together.
“Okay. Then let’s decide who’s going to be the tagger.”
“Rock-paper-scissor! Rock-paper-scissor!”
Sunah lost.
We gave Sunah a rock before splitting into two teams.
“Don’t worry, fighting.”
“Yeah……”
Splitting into two teams from the 5th floor, we headed down the east and west stairways.
When we reached the first floor, Sunah, who had come down with the east team with me, stepped out the door holding the rock in her hand.
“Fighting.”
Instead of answering, Sunah just nodded with a nervous expression.
We stepped outside and toddled toward the center.
The corridor was completely devoid of any sound, likely because the students were busy with their club activities in their clubrooms.
The only sound that could be heard from the playground was the occasional shouts of students from the soccer club playing under the bright sunlight.
Finally, Sunah reached the front of the central entrance, standing in the doorway to avoid being captured by the CCTV, and quickly scanned the surroundings.
[Lee Joon: If nothing happens, run east for now. There’s no one there.]
[Ahn Gyeongwon: There’s no one on the west side either.]
Sunah checked her phone, then nodded in our direction from afar before stretching her arms back with all her might.
She threw the rock and then hastily dashed back towards us.
“Hurry, hurry!”
“Haa, haa.”
Sunah arrived at the east entrance, her face flushed red.
With our hearts pounding, we quickly sprinted up the stairs, taking two or three steps at a time, all the way to the 5th floor.
“Run, run……”
“Huff, huff……”
We sprinted down the 5th-floor corridor without a sound and quickly hid in the clubroom. Inside, the members of the west team, who had already arrived, were panting and catching their breath.
“Oh, you didn’t get caught, did you?”
“Oh, no one saw it. It’s okay……”
“So, did it work, Prez?”
No.
I swallowed hard and shook my head.
“No…… Ah, it seems it didn’t work out. The system isn’t showing any messages.”
“Ugh……”
The members groaned.
It was probably one of two things.
Either the mirror didn’t break, or it did, but that wasn’t enough to get rid of the ghost story.
“I threw it with all my might….”
Sunah muttered with a hesitant expression.
“… But you didn’t see it breaking, did you?”
“No, as soon as I threw it, I ran away……”
“Hmm.”
I gave Sunah a comforting pat in the air with a polite gesture.
“You did your best, did your best. We’ll be able to confirm it during the break time.”
“Uhm……”
“Let’s rest for the rest of the time.”
“Huu.”
After taking a short break like that, the bell signaling the end of the 5th period rang.
We all rushed back down to the first floor together.
“… What the heck. It’s not even cracked.”
Amid the crowd of students passing by, we casually checked the mirror.
There were only slight traces, but the mirror was perfectly intact.
“What is this? Is it tempered glass?”
Jinhee knocked on the mirror as if she was dumbfounded.
I was surprised and quickly stopped her.
“We’re being recorded right now, so don’t do anything reckless.”
“Ah, sorry about that.”
“Everyone, this way……”
We gathered in a corner of the first floor hallway.
Teacher Jang Hwaeun also looked around and bent her knees next to me.
“So, what do we do now?”
“Hmm…… in my opinion.”
I put on a hesitant expression and shared my opinion.
“I think we need to break it more actively. Maybe smash it with a hammer or something…..”
“But it’ll all be captured on camera, so how can we……”
“Well, we’re all wearing the same uniform, so if we just cover our faces, it should be fine… Anyway, let’s pick the next tagger and discuss. Rock-paper-scissor, rock-paper-scissor.”
This time, Teacher Jang Hwaeun was picked.
“Me, me……”
Raising her hand that was showing a scissor, the Teacher showed a terrified expression.
“Wait, hold on a second, guys. You all have the same uniform, so if you cover your faces, you might not get caught, but I’m in plain clothes. I’ll get caught right away.”
“That’s true.”
We glanced at each other.
“Then how about changing clothes?”
“I think it would be okay if you change into a school uniform.”
“Whom, with whom?”
The Teacher, flustered, looked around at the female members.
That’s when I realized.
‘Oh, they might not fit.’
The teacher has a very curvy figure, typical of an adult woman, so none of the uniforms of our female members would fit her.
‘Sunah is naturally small, and Hayoon is also very skinny.’
At least Jinhee was somewhat average in build, but as a typical backbencher delinquent, she has already shortened her uniform as much as possible.
If the Teacher tried to wear it, it would rip right away.
“I can try changing into a male uniform……”
“But Teacher, it’ll all be revealed because of your breasts.”
Jinhee giggled misbehaviosly.
“R-right? It might be a bit much?”
The Teacher hurriedly tried to defend herself.
“Right, so let’s pick again. After all, I’m the teacher, and breaking the school mirror and running away is a bit-”
“It’s okay. I just so happen to have some spare clothes in the clubroom.”
I nodded with a serious expression.
“Spare clothes…?”
“Yes.”
I nodded and led everyone back up the stairs.
“Actually, even the school uniform is not a great choice since it can identify us as insiders, but with the clothes in the clubroom, we could easily disguise ourselves as an extremely suspicious outsider.”
“Wow, a suspicious outsider!”
Gyeongwon nodded in admiration.
“Definitely. If we look like outsiders on the CCTV, they probably won’t bother to look for the culprit inside the school. I think it’s a good idea, Prez.”
“Right?”
“But what kind of clothes are they……”
“You’ll know right away once you see them! They’re clothes that look completely suspicious.”
“……?”
The Teacher followed me with a bewildered expression.
I opened the door to the clubroom with a serious expression.

[Fetish House SM Play Full Body Latex Sexy One Piece – 4 points]
The latex full-body suit I had hurriedly bought as protective gear instead of a spacesuit last time.
I had left it hidden under the sofa, thinking I’d just keep it there for now, but I never expected the perfect timing to use it would come.
‘Lucky me.’
However, the Teacher, with a dazed expression, was just holding the suit.
“Y-you want me to wear this…?”
“Yes.”
One of the Teacher’s eyebrows twitched.
“W-where did you even get this……”
The Teacher’s expression was one of complete disbelief, almost absurd.
But a loss in rock-paper-scissor is still a loss.
Sunah had already accepted her turn and thrown a stone.
And especially since she was the Teacher, there was no room for refusal. She was a member of our club, so she had to do her part.
“You’ll wear this, smash the mirror with a hammer, and run away. That should definitely break it, right?”
“But, don’t you have any other clothes….?”
“……”
The Teacher asked, twitching the corner of her lip as if she wanted to hit me.
“With your ability….. you can buy any clothes right now, right……?”
The Teacher’s hand trembled as she held the suit, showing her hesitation.
She wasn’t entirely wrong.
With my abilities, I could easily order a perfectly normal outfit from the system Store.
But ‘normal outfits’ were meaningless in this situation in the first place.
The goal was to make her look like a completely suspicious outsider when caught on CCTV.
“… Doesn’t this look really suspicious? What kind of clothes do you want if not this……”
“How about…. at least clothes that’s a bit loose……?”
“Well…… ”
Is she really that embarrassed?
‘She is supposed to do this without anyone seeing anyway, and even I wore it without any problem…’
I opened the Store window with my arms crossed and an awkward expression.
“What other outfits could cover the whole body and still look completely suspicious..…”
As I was looking through the Store window with a tired look, and the Teacher was about to put down the latex suit with a shaky expression.
A clean and beautiful voice echoed through the clubroom.
“Teacher.”
“…..?”
“You’re being too much.”
“……”
A sharp tone, as if making a firm judgment.
For a moment, silence flowed through the room.
With our eyes opened wide as if they were about to pop out our sockets, we turned to Hayoon.
Hayoon lowered her eyes and folded her arms across her chest.
“These are the points we earned through a lot of hard work. Do you think it’s that easy to use them?”
“… What, what… … ?”
The Teacher looked at Hayoon with a visibly embarrassed expression.
We also tried to stop Hayoon by saying, ‘Hey, why are you……’, but she blurted out what she wanted to convey with a cold expression.
“Points should be used where they can only be used as points. Do you have any idea what Joony had to go through to prevent them from being wasted on material items?”
“……”
The Teacher shifted her gaze nervously, her mouth twitching.
“Uh, what kind of thing… are you talking about?”
Sunah, who had been quietly observing the atmosphere, answered softly on behalf of the Teacher.
“He retrieved money that was… tied to a dangerous criminal organization…”
“……”
“And he even risked his life.”
“…..!”
The Teacher, flustered by the two girls’ relentless words, stammered.
“R-really…?”
Her gaze, which had been wandering pitifully as if asking for help, turned to Gyeongwon.
“I, I didn’t know. You guys didn’t tell me……”
“……”
“I, really, Gyeongwon……?”
Gyeongwon, who was called, pushed his glasses with an embarrassed expression.
“… It’s true.”
“……”
“They are speaking the truth, Teacher.”
“……!”
Dukhun nodded his head with a heavy expression.
In the end, unable to withstand our gazes, the Teacher trembled and picked up the latex suit again.
“R, really…? I haven’t even done anything for you yet…”
I couldn’t even recruit Teacher Hanari. The Teacher muttered under her breath as she unfolded the suit.
“This… This is embarrassing… I can’t be left out…… ? But Sunah also did her turn, and I… I’m the teacher who has to protect you, you guys……”
As she said that, Teacher Jang Hwaeun finally gritted her teeth with determination.
“Eeeeek!”
She suddenly unfolded the suit and lifted it into the air as she declared.
“I’m going to do it!! I’ll try to be brave and wear this without hesitation!!”
“Wow!”
“Applaud everyone!!”
With her eyes tightly shut and her face as red as a ripened tomato, she made the sudden declaration, and we all instinctively clapped.
“Huff… huff……”
“Wow… Wow……”
Clap, clap, clap.
Now, a 34-year-old single English teacher, who can finish two whole chickens by herself, will be wearing the full-body latex suit and heading out to break the school entrance mirror!
“But really, where did you even get that?”
Dukhun asked me with a slightly excited face while clapping.
“I don’t think they sell it in a normal clothing store……”
“That’s right……”
Sunah and Gyeongwon, both looking like they’ve never seen anything like this before, glanced at the suit the Teacher was holding, inspecting it from every angle.
“I knew Joony had such a taste.”
Hayoon with her arms crossed, smiled slightly and stood next to me.
“If you want, I can wear something like this too.”
“… Oh, d, don’t misunderstand, guys.”
I hurriedly made an excuse.
“I wore it briefly as a protective suit when I went to hide the money bag in space. I bought it from the system Store.”
“… It’s good.”
Jinhee also opened her mouth and slowly examined the material.
Before anyone else’s attention could be drawn, I pushed them out of the way.
“Alright, alright, let’s make space so the Teacher can get changed.”
