“Hello, I’m NoName. Right now, I’m in the capital of Korea, Seoul.”
Saetbyeol and the young friends formed a giant human chain around me, clearing a path.
“I had stir-fried octopus and pork belly for lunch. It was delicious.”
I couldn’t see anything ahead.
I guess the public was the same as well, as their interest shifted from me to Saetbyeol.
“Adella! Wow, Adella!”
“Squeak, I’m passing through!”
In the end, she joined the circle.
Oh, right, I had the broadcast on.

-❓❓❓❓❓
-So you’re not going to eat now, but you already did?
-Is there no mukbang for octopus and pork belly?ㅠㅠ
-LOL, that’s legendary.
-???: The stir-fried octopus and pork belly is delicious, you all should try!
-Why didn’t you turn the stream on earlier? 😠💢
-I turned it on to brag to the viewers~
-Is that Adella next to you? Oh man, I can’t adapt, LOL.
-So many people. Why didn’t I know I was doing a live stream?
-For real, how did everyone find out and gather?
-Na-me, your chick costume is so cute today!🐥🐥🐥
-I idolize you again today, GOAT.
“Hah, hah… It’s hard to walk after a long time.”
Cheon Saetbyeol cursed the school on the hill, grumbling continuously.
-What’s the broadcast title?
-Who goes to school for a domestic trip? LOL.
-Wow, that’s cute.
-Subtitle of the episode) To Na-me, the school is a playground.
-I’m betting that I turned on the broadcast spontaneously again today.
“Isn’t a school trip refreshing?”
There were many foreigners among our viewers.
As we climbed the stairs, the view of the school unfolded before us.
‘It’s actually my first time at the school Saetbyeol attends.’
The world is a collection of facts, not merely an aggregate of objects.
Wittgenstein viewed the world not as a simple collection of individual objects, but as a set of events and facts formed by their interactions.
Thus, travel is undoubtedly a fascinating topic in terms of knowledge.
Is merely visiting a new place what constitutes travel?
No.
The essence of travel is a collection of new events and experiences that enrich life.
Experiencing the culture, meeting people, facing unexpected situations allows us to finally understand the world.
School, Academy.
If the world can be expressed in language, then language is the limit of the world I experience.
In my two previous lives, school had only approached me as a space of oppression and frustration.
But in this third life, I was finally able to grasp its positive aspects.
Like exploring the far side of the moon, as if humanity was taking its first steps on the moon, I jumped through the main gate of Gu Ryong High School.
Thump-
“We are now at Gu Ryong—”
“Waaaaaaah!”
“You don’t have to clap for stuff like this…”
Blushing, I said goodbye to the fans.
It seemed some were waiting around until I came out.
“Today’s weather is hot, so don’t stay here, go to the park near the back gate. I’ll swing by there when I come out.”
I persuaded the fans to head to the nearby park to avoid someone getting heatstroke.
As soon as I stepped onto the sports field, cheers erupted.
Students welcomed us from afar, opening the windows.
From the main gate, a man in a suit came rushing over.
“Hello, Principal! Oh, your complexion looks great! You must be getting treatment at the hospital these days?”
“Oh dear, oh dear…!”
He seemed to have a lot to say, but swallowed his words with the camera in mind.
“Hello. I’m really sorry for dropping by so suddenly. Saetbyeol wanted to visit the school since she returned to Korea.”
“Oh, not at all. We really welcome you, NoName Wizard! We have nothing prepared for such a sudden visit.”
“It’s okay. The unvarnished school is even better.”
-For real, what a burden, LOL.
-Our school’s students are gaining the attention of the entire world?
-Students (not beings)!
-100 million subscribers, 100 million subscribers. Pure skill with barely any fluff, LOL.
-How suddenly incredible.
“This wall mural is amazing, right? Wow.”
“It’s all painted by our school students from one to ten. Isn’t it pretty? Haha.”
“There’s one I painted too. Want to see it?”
“Where?”
“It’s on the opposite side of the building.”
“Why wouldn’t you put it somewhere more visible?”
“Exactly! I wanted to, but the seniors claimed the spot.”
Cheon Saetbyeol took me behind the school building to an old, elevated container.
Upon seeing her painting, I felt like a young child seeing modern art for the first time.
“Is it a demon beast from Kaizen World? It has a scary vibe but a unique sense. Kind of reminds me of Cthulhu.”
“It’s just a cat napping on a roof, you know.”
-Is that even a painting? My five-year-old nephew could do better than that.
-It looks like a cat exposed to radiation.
-This is so ridiculous, LOL.
-What’s truly ridiculous is Adella’s drawing skills.
-Can’t shield this, LOL.
-Na-me, you need to manage your expressions!
-Now I understand why it was hidden behind the school, LOL.
“Oh… hey! You did well! Yep…!”
“Then how well do you think you painted? Let’s see your skills.”
Cheon Saetbyeol squatted down, glaring at me.
“I’m not exactly the best at painting, but…”

Using my wand as a giant brush, I gently pressed a black dot into the empty space.
I stepped back to check the overall estimate.
“Ha, see, drawing while standing is actually surprisingly difficult?”
I began softly outlining the eyes around the dot.
I lightly touched the end of the wand to the cement wall, creating long eyelashes and deep eyelids.
It seemed appropriate for the eyes to hold starlight within them.
I mixed a bit of blue and white pigment to breathe life into it.
As I moved away from the eyes, I started shaping the beast’s face.
Sculpting with smooth curves, I emphasized the jawline with silver and gray.
Due to time constraints, I abstractly portrayed the neck, body, hooves, and legs with swirling curves.
Instead, I layered white paint to give the impression of pure white fur waving.
Finally, I filled an empty forehead with a spiral cone shape.
Following the thinning curve, I applied a gradient effect with silver and gold.
Stepping back once more, I admired the completed unicorn mural.
While the details left something to be desired, it felt alive enough to pop out at any moment.
“This is way better than your cat.”
“No way! You should have at least drawn decently to argue back!”
Click-
The principal silently took out his smartphone and captured the mural I painted.
-Wow, this is insane, insane, insane! LOL.
-Pya pya pya.
-Can you feel the ‘power difference’?
-“Kneel before overwhelming talent!”
-No matter how you look at it, that was a failure in controlling power, LOL.
-You did that in 10 minutes? NoName is truly a monster.
-Adella, let’s not mess with her from now on, ^^.
-This is bound to become a local landmark, LOL.
-I’m going to visit Gu Ryong High School tomorrow to see that.
“Aren’t you hot? Let’s go inside now.”
Saetbyeol said with her voice dripping with annoyance.
With the humidity high, it wasn’t cool even in the shade.
Plus, focusing too much on the painting made me feel a little sweat on my forehead.
The others were also fluttering their t-shirts, trying to cool off.
“Saetbyeol, do you want to use this as a handheld fan?”
“Eh? Sure… Thank you, heehee.”
I handed her the wand.

Vwoosh-
“Ha, now I feel alive again.”
“Shall we drop by the first class? It’s 2nd Grade 1 Class, right?”
“Yup, if we go up those stairs to the 3rd floor—”
“Whoa!”
“Isn’t that the mural!”
“NoName!”
Suddenly, people screamed.
I shifted my gaze in the direction their fingers pointed.
My unicorn drawing was vanishing into dust.
“Waaaah! Sister, what’s happening? Why is the drawing disappearing!”
“Ah…”
The beautiful unicorn vanished into the sky, leaving only the ugly Cthulhu cat behind on the mural.
I scratched my head and muttered.
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t save it before giving it away.”
-?????
-There’s no unicorn…?
-No wayㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-The local landmark has vanishedㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Kyaaaa, please save every 30 seconds!!!
-No wonder I thought it was strange to draw with mana and not do any post-processing.
-Na-me must be so upset…
-It was really well drawn, what to doㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“Don’t stress too much about the objects. What matters is that I painted it after all.”
It was finally time to explore the school.
*
Caught in the carpet bombing of the viewers’ messages, Cheon Saetbyeol quickly became gloomy.
Fortunately, after meeting her school friends, her energy bounced back to a full 100%.
“Saetbyeol!”
“Yo, what’s up, my babies!”
“What on earth is your true identity!”
“I don’t even know!”
The female students hugged each other, jumping with joy.
With the male students in soccer uniforms, they exchanged complex handshake routines with loud applause.
Tap-tap-tap-
“Woohoo!”
“Woohoo!”
Adding a strange cheer at the end.
To allow Saetbyeol a touching reunion with her classmates, I entered the classroom a bit later.
Knock, knock-
When I did, the students threw Cheon Saetbyeol, who was shoulder-to-shoulder with them, to the ground and rushed toward me.
“AAAH!”
Thud-!
“Waaaaah!”
“KYAAAA! NoName!”
“Cute! What’s with this? You’re so tiny!”
“Hey guys, the teacher is here! Sit down quickly!”
A girl with a clear voice controlled the class.
She definitely had the air of a class leader.
“Saetbyeol, sit down quickly…!”
“What for? What are we doing now?”
“Just follow along.”
The students of Gu Ryong’s 2nd Grade 1 Class seemed prepared as they sat in their seats, giggling.
“One, two, three.”
““Hello! We will learn hard, Teacher NoName!””
“Uh…?”
Giggling!
Hahaha!
“Na-me, please teach us! It’s class time now!”
-LOL!
-This is crazy!
-Is it April Fool’s? What’s the prank? LOL.
-These kids are insane with their ideas, haha.
-World’s first 10-year-old teacher.
-Na-me, let’s try teaching a class, would be an absolute blast.
“Are you not accepting this? Are you not?!”
