Chapter 122: School Reopening, Return to School 1
The sun rose.
March 2nd is a fairly special day for students. For some, that specialness might be annoying and frustrating, but for others, it could be filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Finally, I'm returning to school."
Seo Juhwan was on the side that felt anticipation and excitement. It was his first time going to school in ten years, so it was only natural to feel excited. Especially since he looked completely different from his unfortunate and unsightly self before regression.
"Should I check my fortune for today?"
He planned to check with an item draw.
Ding!
[1,000 LP has been used to draw an item.]
[Blessing, 'Blessing of Dream Demon God (x14)' has been granted.]
Seo Juhwan's mouth fell open when he saw the item he received. Blessings could come from item draws too!
"Nice!"
The moment he opened his eyes, luck was perfect. The signs were already good.

The department that Seo Juhwan applied to when he was twenty was 'Publishing Content Studies.' The students called it the Publishing Content department.
Graduates of the Publishing Content department typically get jobs in advertising, publishing houses, or design. There were a few other paths, but if he was going in a different direction, he should have applied to a different department. Or he could have skipped university altogether and pursued relevant certifications.
Seo Juhwan applied to the Publishing Content department simply because he liked books. In fact, when he was twenty, he aimed for the Creative Writing department as his first choice, but after repeatedly failing at the White Day Essay Contest, he gave up on becoming a novelist. Ironically, after graduation, he quit his publishing job and became a full-time web novel author.
'Not that it matters now.'
After regression, Seo Juhwan started writing quickly and had already achieved considerable success. Before settlement, the accumulated amount was well over a thousand. By his early twenties, it was already a monthly salary rather than yearly. If he thought about Bitcoin, worrying about money became meaningless.
"Hmm~."
Seo Juhwan hummed as he walked. He was excited about the university life that would start today.
He came to university purely for the campus life he hadn't experienced in his previous life. He had always walked alone, and it had remained a scar. That's why this time, he wanted to spend an enjoyable university life.
"Huh. Everyone looks so fresh."
Looking at the students heading to school gave him a warm smile. They must all be excited about their first day of university too. In his previous life, he only gave off a gloomy atmosphere because of trauma.
Seo Juhwan watched the students arriving at school. At first glance, you could see the freshness of freshmen, which gave him a slightly ticklish feeling. However, unlike his mood, the students arriving were already panting heavily with rough breathing.
The scene was too familiar, so he shook his head.
"It's really steep after all."
The Publishing Content department, along with a few other departments, was located in the library building, and unfortunately, the library was at the very top of the school. Dae-An University was famous for its steep slopes. In his previous life, he too had climbed this hill desperately. Of course, not even a drop of sweat fell now.
He looked sympathetically at the people struggling to climb the hill. Hold on just a little bit more, kids. By the second semester, an escalator will appear.
[Strong luck regarding sexuality is at play.]
"Ugh. This is killing me!"
As he was silently cheering them on, a tired voice came from ahead.
"How long did you even walk? Why are you so tired? You're always running around playing soccer, but you have no stamina at all."
The voices belonged to a pair of boy and girl. A boy with exaggerated tired motions panting, and a girl scolding the boy. The boy stuck out his lips and grumbled.
"I'm normal, and you're the abnormal one. You monster with muscle. Your legs are thicker than mine, aren't they?"
"What? Want to wrestle right here?"
The girl frowned sharply and turned around.
Unlike the boy's words, the girl didn't fit the word "muscle girl." She had a small face and long, stretched limbs like a model. Her legs didn't seem thick at all.
However, the girl's face was somewhat strange. Whether she had bad plastic surgery or odd makeup, Seo Juhwan couldn't tell with his expertise. Only her drooping eyes made her look fierce when she frowned. She seemed like the type who chewed gum back in the day.
'Oh, that girl definitely...!'
She was in his memory. It was a face he had seen before regression. Before he could fully recall the memory, the boy shouted in surprise.
"Whoa! Image management! This is the way to the department! Lots of classmates will see you? Be quiet, would you?"
"...Call me unnie."
"Hehe. Yes, ma'am, department head unnie."
"No, not department head. Just interim department head. I'm definitely not becoming department head?"
"No, no. Give up. In my opinion, you're already department head."
"I'm going to die, seriously!"
"Aaaaah! A gang member is trying to kill me!"
The boy, despite his heavy panting, quickly ran up the hill. The girl chased after him at an even faster pace, grumbling. Shortly after, a cry of pain was heard, indicating she had caught him.
'They sure have energy early in the morning.'
That's youth, youth.
...Seo Juhwan somehow felt old as soon as he arrived at school. He needed to change his way of thinking a bit.
Lucy broke through his thoughts.
[Master, you have 10 minutes left.]
"Oh no. Already?"
He had spent quite a bit of time just watching people arrive at school.
He quickened his pace. It was good that he had left early; he almost arrived late on the first day.
