Part 2 Chapter 11: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! (11)

Black Tower, 99th floor.
As Pink-fur tried to go down the Tower,
“Ah. I had something to give to Sejun!”
“Me too! I can’t think of anything right now, but I feel like I’ll remember once I see him!”
“Same here!”
A few of the Black Minotaurs tried to sneakily join Pink-fur on the way down the Tower.
If Pink-fur left, someone would have to spar with The Minotaur King.
So they were ready to do anything as long as it meant leaving the 99th floor of the Tower, and going to Sejun, who makes delicious grass porridge? It was an excellent choice. No, it was the best choice.
“No.”
Of course, their attempt was far too easily blocked by a single word from The Minotaur King.
He wasn’t one to just stand by and watch.
How dare they try to run away from training?
“Alright. Only you guys start training!”
The Minotaur King called out only the Black Minotaurs who tried to escape and made them train.
Only endless effort would guide the Black Minotaurs to the Black Minotaurs' heaven <Crete>, where only brave Black Minotaur warriors gathered.
The Minotaur King intended to bring every one of them without leaving anyone behind. Only then could they meet their families, who had been separated.
Though they were apart now, they would be able to reunite there.
As The Minotaur King watched the escaping Black Minotaurs train,
“Minotaur 1, how long has it been since we entered the Tower?”
He asked Minotaur 1, his next in line.
“Hmm. It’s been about 500 years.”
“It’s been that long already?”
“Yes. So now, please pass the leadership to me already and take a rest.”
“Kuh. Nonsense. Do that after you beat me once.”
“Fine!”
As soon as Minotaur 1 finished speaking, he went for a body tackle on The Minotaur King, but
“You’ve only gotten better at tricks.”
Thud!
The Minotaur King lightly received Minotaur 1’s body tackle, jumped up, and slammed Minotaur 1’s head into the ground.
“It’s not a trick, it's quick thinking!"
True to his position as next in line, Minotaur 1 held his ground while doing a handstand, pushed against the ground with his arms, and launched a dropkick toward The Minotaur King’s chin.
Whack.
But it was blocked by The Minotaur King’s hand by a narrow margin, and in that moment, Minotaur 1 used the recoil to recover his posture and immediately threw a right punch.
Thus continued their exchange of blows.
“Ah! Stop hitting me! I surrender! I surrender!”
As usual, it ended with the Minotaur King’s one-sided beating.
A moment later.
Thud.
"Ah. I'm dying."
Minotaur 1 collapsed on the ground, and The Minotaur King standing before him quietly cooled his sweat.
“The Minotaur King-nim, do you remember back then?”
“Back then? Ah. Of course I remember. You were really ugly back then.”
“No, not that! I mean when we first entered the Tower with you and you held our hands and promised to help us meet our families.”
“Ah... I did say that.”
The Minotaur King scratched his head awkwardly with a dark expression and looked off into the distant sky.
“Don’t feel too pressured by those words. We’re old enough to understand everything now. We’re not the sniffling little kids from back then.”
“Yeah. Thanks.”
The Minotaur King gave a bitter smile at Minotaur 1’s words, trying not to burden him.
“Still, I’d like to visit Labyrin again sometime. I was too young back then to remember what it was like.”
“It was a good place...”
A hint of happiness seeped into The Minotaur King’s bitter smile as he recalled the world they lived in, Labyrin. At the same time, there was regret.
Could he have saved more?
Whenever he thought of that day, waves of regret always followed.
Oh. Is this a scoop?!
Whirr.
Detecting the scent of a scoop, Poisonous Bee No. 13,124 from Honeybee News hovered around The Minotaur King, but all it managed to uncover was that the Black Minotaurs’ original world was Labyrin. No further information could be obtained.
What a shame.
Poisonous Bee No. 13,124 felt regret and
[Black Tower 99F Poisonous Bee No. 13,124: [Honeybee News Exclusive!] Black Minotaurs revealed to be from the world of Labyrin!]
First wrote the information she knew as news and sucked up sweet view count honey.
It didn’t earn money,
but over 20,000 people read my article!
It was Poisonous Bee No. 13,124, who continued reporter work solely for the joy of gaining more readers.
At that moment,
“Hey! Poisonous Bee No. 13,124, the Queen wants you to come right now."
Another Poisonous Bee called out to Poisonous Bee No. 13,124.
“Huh? The Queen?”
“Yeah. Your recent work output has been terrible.”
Of course, the price for chasing only news stories without doing actual work was a scolding.
“Ah. What do I do…”
With worried wing flaps, Poisonous Bee No. 13,124 returned to the hive.
***
Kuhohoho.
My Cuengi will love this, right?
On the way down the Tower with a tuna lunchbox prepared for Cuengi.
“Oh?! Hello, Pink-fur nim. Kids, say hello.”
“Hello! I’m Elfo!”
“Hello! I’m Elkogi!”
Pink-fur met ElKa carrying the children on his back on the 88th floor of the Tower and moved together after exchanging greetings.
While they were on the move like that.
Kkosit! Kkosit!
[Hello, Pink-fur nim! Kids, say hello!]
This time, they met the chestnut hedgehog leader Godori and his children on the 83rd floor of the Tower.
Continuing on the move again.
“Hello, Pink-fur nim. Everyone, please greet properly.”
On the 79th floor of the Tower, they encountered the baby birds of the Kingdom of Kov and the bird guiding them.
And a little later.
Ookki! Ookki!
[Hello, Pink-fur nim! Kids, greet properly!]
On the 77th floor of the Tower, they met the banana monkey village chief Ookil and the young monkeys, and the number of people traveling with Pink-fur steadily increased.
Some time later.
“Oh! Greetings! Paku greets Pink-fur nim! Kids, bow quickly like me!”
On the 59th floor of the Tower, Green Goblin Paku joined with the young green goblins.
Something is wrong.
Pink-fur thought that going all the way to the 1st floor like this would not be good, but kept walking for now.
Then
Ppiik! Ppiik? Ppiik.
[Hello, Pink-fur nim! Are you also on your way to Sejun nim? I am too. Kids, say hello. That’s Auntie Pink-fur.]
When Wolgang joined with 100 baby rabbits on the 55th floor,
What should I do?
Pink-fur’s worries deepened.
If they all went down together like this, all the blame might fall on her.
Her concern grew deeper and deeper.
What if Cuengi ends up in trouble with Sejun nim because of me?!
That can’t happen!
As the worry reached thoughts of Cuengi,
Thud.
Pink-fur’s steps came to a stop.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Those following behind bumped into her due to the sudden stop, but thanks to her fluffy fur, no serious damage was done.
The place she stopped was the 42nd floor of the Black Tower. It was where Pink-fur’s child had taken his last breath.
Maybe this is fate...
Kuong.
[Everyone, follow me.]
Thud. Thud.
Pink-fur spoke in a firm voice and led the group into the 42nd floor of the Tower.
[Felix Kindergarten]
Pink-fur established a kindergarten and named it after the name she had meant to give her child on their 1000th day of life.
All the adults who came along each became teachers, teaching what they were good at.
That was how Felix Kindergarten, created unexpectedly, came to be.
No one imagined it would one day become the most prestigious kindergarten in the Black Tower no, in all of the Nine Towers.
Of course, Sejun’s Kindergarten of Destruction was excluded because it had entry requirements beyond standard criteria.
And then
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Mom sent me a tuna lunchbox!]
Cuengi safely received the tuna lunchbox that Pink-fur had sent via Elka.
“Meow? Cuengi, let’s grill that up and eat, meow!”
Kueng!
[No way! Mom packed this lunchbox just for Cuengi to eat!]
Though Theo tried to get a taste of Cuengi’s tuna,
“Why are you eyeing someone else’s lunchbox? I’ll make you a grilled fish lunchbox, Vice Chairman Theo.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
With Sejun stepping in to shield Cuengi, Theo gave up.
“Puhuhut. Everyone, gather around, meow! I have something to brag about, meow!”
Theo ran off excitedly.
At that moment
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. I’ll give Dad one bite!]
Cuengi slyly offered the giant tuna to Sejun, sneaking him a bite behind Theo’s back.
“Hehehe. Thanks, I’ll enjoy it.”
Sejun took a small bite of the tuna and said,
“Wow. It’s delicious! My Cuengi gave Dad this super tasty tuna?”
With a reaction like it was so good he could die,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. That’s right! Cuengi gave Dad something super tasty!]
Nod. Nod.
He made Cuengi happy. Of course, the not-so-secret truth was that there was almost nothing Cuengi didn’t find delicious.
While Sejun was having a fun time with Cuengi,
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park said he’d make me, Vice Chairman Theo, a grilled fish lunchbox, meow!”
Theo was boasting excitedly in front of Blackie and Taecho.
Dadadada.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie wants an Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potato lunchbox too!]
“Daddy, me too! Taecho wants a lunchbox too!”
As soon as they heard Theo's bragging, Blackie and Taecho ran to Sejun and started pestering him.
A little later.
"Sejun, you made kimbap? What's the occasion today?! It's so delicious!"
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Chairman Park’s grilled fish lunchbox is the best, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. The half-half peanut lunch box is the best too!"
[Hehe. Sejun nim's radiating aura of sunlight is delicious too!]
Kuehehehe! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Eating the tuna lunchbox Mom packed with the kimbap Dad packed is delicious when eaten together!]
(Pip-pip! The fruit lunchbox Sejun-nim packed is delicious too!)
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potato lunchbox that the butler made is absolutely the best!]
“Hehehe. Daddy, the kimbap lunchbox is so good! Taecho wants to eat kimbap again tomorrow!”
Everyone who received the lunchboxes Sejun made ate with happy expressions.
“Hehehe.”
I should eat the best end piece.
Sejun also happily ate the end piece of the kimbap.
But seeing such a great reaction to the lunchboxes, he thought, I should make lunchboxes and go on a picnic later.
Where would be a good spot for the picnic?
While Sejun was searching for picnic spots on his smartphone,
[Nutritionist Park Sejun of the Kindergarten of Destruction has fully fed 13 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction].]
[As a reward for fully feeding them, your lifespan has increased by 13 hours.]
[As a reward for fully feeding them, you have obtained 1.3 billion Tower Coins.]
[As a reward for fully feeding them, <Earth>'s evolution experience has increased by 0.013%.]
As the Children of Creation who had started eating first finished their meal, messages appeared.
Hehehe. It’s rewarding to feed them.
Sejun smiled contentedly at the messages.
Then,
[<Earth>'s evolution experience has been completely filled.]
[<Earth> begins evolving into a Level 3 world.]
[<Earth>'s evolution will be complete in 2 hours.]
The tiniest bits of experience had accumulated and finally reached 100%, triggering Earth’s evolution.
2 hours later.
[<Earth>'s evolution is complete. It has become a Level 3 world.]
[All physical abilities of Level 3 residents have increased by 20%, and their potential has increased 10-fold.]
[Due to your home world's level increase, Black Tower Tower Farmer Park Sejun nim's all stats increased by 10% and potential increased by 30%.]
Hehehe. Did I get a little stronger?
As Earth’s evolution concluded,
“Jjokjjok, want to arm wrestle with Teacher?”
Sejun challenged the most beatable one, Jjokjjok, to a match.
Jjokjjok?
Thud!
"Kkeuk..."
He fainted.
“Chairman Park, why did you do something so crazy, meow?! Everyone, step on him quickly, meow!”
Once again, Sejun was stepped on today.
