Chapter 343
Do-Jun read the newsletter that Byeol brought home from daycare. The main announcement was a reminder about the field trip to Han River Park scheduled for the next day. He had already learned about the main points through the parents’ group chat a few days earlier, so he focused on the details. The required items were a sketchbook, crayons, and, if needed, some personal snacks. Finally, the daycare would provide lunch, so they reminded parents not to pack one for the trip.
Parents felt relieved to learn that the daycare would provide lunch. With most families now having dual-income parents, preparing a packed lunch was no small task.
“Now, shall we start getting weddy?” Byeol asked eagerly.
Excited for her field trip, which was more like a picnic, Byeol was already packing her things into her daycare bag on her own. She stuffed in her sixty-four-color crayon set and then crammed the remaining space with juice and snacks until the bag was about to burst. Satisfied, she grinned brightly, eagerly wishing for time to pass faster.

Planning a field trip required a lot of preparation for the teacher. From choosing a main learning goal to setting the time, location, and schedule—everything needed careful planning. But for most parents, their child's meal was always the top priority.
Ji-Hye, who had been reviewing the field trip plans, turned her attention to the news on the TV.
⌜Now, for our next story. While Behemoth is advancing through the eighth floor of the Core, Fissure experts have been speculating about which Deep Realm Rankers they might encounter based on the Hunter’s Bureau’s latest report. The updated ranking from August is as follows.⌟
A list of Deep Realm Rankers from first to thirtieth place filled the screen. The display then switched to show the silhouettes of two men, each marked with a large question mark. Beneath them, the names “Baal” and “Imfelheim” appeared. After that, more Rankers’ names scrolled in. These were individuals who had grown stronger within the Core, surpassing their natural limits to reach the prestigious status of Transcendents.
Ji-Hye shook her head and refocused on her task. She intended to consider the children’s preferences when preparing lunch for the next day. When she asked them what they wanted to eat for lunch tomorrow, the most popular answer had unexpectedly been kimbap.
“Alright. Kimbap it is.” She decided.
Kimbap was the perfect picnic food. Its contents were packed generously and densely inside the seaweed wrapper, making it filling yet smaller in size compared to other typical lunch options. As she twirled a pen between her fingers, thinking about where to place the order, something on the news drew her attention.
