Infinite Talent Reset Life Episode 14
Knock knock!
“Come in.”
“Hello, Larry! Ada!”
Emily enters the CEO office.
Then Emily immediately sits on the sofa.
The scent of shampoo brushes past his nose.
“Hi, Johann!”
“You’re here? Did you change your shampoo?”
“I’ll be in 5th grade in just half a year. I need to become more mature.”
“What would you like to drink?”
“Lemonade!”
“Larry and Ada?”
“Same thing.”
Johann walks to the refrigerator placed in one corner of the CEO office and takes out lemon syrup and sparkling water.
Clink clink clink
Ice cubes bumping around inside the large cup.
The sweet and sour scent of lemon spreads throughout the CEO office.
“Thank you.”
“I’ll enjoy it!”
Johann also brings the cup to his mouth while looking at the catalog he was holding just moments ago.
‘Hmm. Should I do this, or should I do that.’
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, Emily. Fairmont School has elective and required subjects, right.”
“…D-did you get accepted?!”
“No, I will get accepted.”
It’s bait they absolutely cannot refuse.
‘If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing I can do.’
I’ll just think of 4th grade second semester as lost time and prepare the qualifications that those who come to study abroad like TOEFL need to prepare for transfer.
“Anyway, I’m wondering which elective subject to choose.”
Besides the 6 basic required subjects that must be completed – Korean, History, Math, Physical Education, Art, Music – there are two elective subjects that must be chosen.
The minimum is 2, but up to 4 can be selected total, and since Fairmont School is a prestigious private school, this number was quite large.
“Ah! Then do Basic Scouting and Cheerleading!”
Basic Scouting, which teaches the basics of what Boy & Girl Scouts learn without actually registering for Boy & Girl Scouts. It’s a subject where you can go to mountains, forests, and the sea once a month.
Johann’s eyes narrow.
“Aren’t you going to study?”
“It’s fine. I’m going to be a model!”
“Ah, I see.”
‘I’ll have to teach her properly later.’
If you’re ignorant, you get taken advantage of. That was an unchanging law.
Johann chose Basic Scouting and Reading.
“Ah, why! Let’s do Cheerleading together too, okay? All my friends are doing Cheerleading too.”
“No. You’re not thinking. Go back.”
Johann had no intention of going where girls gather.
It was the moment Emily’s eyes were about to turn sharp.
Burst!
“Larry! Johann!”
‘Nice, Johnny.’
“Hello, Johnny.”
“Oh! Hi, Emily? You came early today too?”
“What’s the matter, Johnny?”
“Ah, Larry! Come here quickly! The H&M West photo shoot came out!”
Rustle!
Larry quickly runs over and looks at the flyers and catalogs spread out on the sofa table.
“Here it is! Wow, Johann! Is this really you?”
“Ooh? You can spot it right away, Emily?”
“Definitely the looks and presence that you can’t help but spot right away.”
He can’t hear what Emily, Larry, Ada, and Johnny are saying.
‘Is this really me?’
It’s the self that Henri showed him during the shoot, but it doesn’t seem like himself.
He’s bewildered. It’s amazing.
His heart flutters and feels full, and his lips twitch.
It’s somewhat scary and feels like a dream.
‘People living in California and several other states will see these images?’
“How’s the reaction, Johnny?”
“The reaction? Hehe.”
At Ada’s words, Johnny holds out his mobile phone.
Our son’s spring clothes are decided 🙂
It’s winter in California.
Who is this child model? Is he an H&M exclusive model?
Johnny had captured dozens more comments and SNS posts besides these.
“When I inquired with H&M West, they said the clothes from the line Johann shot are selling out first!”
“Wooow! Look at this, Johann! They say you crushed the other models!”
Johann’s lips move more violently as he sees the SNS post Emily is pointing to.
Seeing that, Larry smiles warmly and looks at Johnny.
“Johnny, please prepare a picture frame.”
This is Johann’s first photo shoot. It absolutely had to be made into a frame.
“Puhaha! Yes, understood!”
Ring ring! Ring ring!
“Yes, this is Larry Jefferson, CEO of Rocky Management. Ah, Case Worker! Yes?!”
Larry stares blankly at Johann.
Johann’s eyes tremble as he senses something from the mention of case worker.
“Yes. Ah, I understand. I’ll see you in an hour. Yes!”
Larry opens his mouth after ending the call.
“Johann.”
“Did it work out?”
“Yes…”
What kind of emotion is this.
“The adoption is complete. You’re a Jefferson from now on too.”
“Ah…”
It’s a result he thought was natural, but his heart trembles, his throat trembles, his chin trembles, and his tongue trembles.
His whole body trembles as he pours out tears.
They embrace each other and pour out the same emotions.
“Sniff! G-good job, Johann. Good job. Waaah!”
Emily, Ada, and Johnny also congratulated him with tears.
“Ugly frog.”
“Don’t tease me! How could I not cry at a moment like this!”
This was the moment when Johann, who had been an orphan, gained a family. Tears were inevitable.
“I’m joking. Thank you, Emily.”
Thank you for being happy for him as if it were your own matter.
Thank you for congratulating him.
Emily feels her intention to sulk subside at the warm, rough hand that takes hers.
For some reason, her face flushes at Johann’s tear-filled eyes.
“Congratulations, Larry.”
“Congratulations, Larry!”
“…Thank you. Ah, this isn’t the time for this!”
He needs to capture this moment in a photo.
This day that will bring tears again in the distant future.
It was the moment he picked up his mobile phone.
Ring ring! Ring ring!
“Yes! This is Larry Jefferson, CEO of Rocky Management! Did you say Fairmont School?!”
Larry and Johann’s eyes meet again.
Emily, Ada, and Johnny’s eyes fill with anticipation.
“Ha. Yes, I understand. Thank you.”
Larry’s eyes tremble as he ends the call.
“You said you’d choose Basic Scouting and Reading, right?”
“…Woooah! Johann! Johann!”
Thankfully, good things came all at once.
* * *
Johann opens his eyes and immediately turns on the room light.
He looks at the Fairmont School uniform hanging on the hanger from last night.
A white shirt and dark navy pants.
A cardigan with the Fairmont School logo and a checkered necktie.
After staring at the school uniform for a while, Johann soon turns around and heads to the bathroom.
“Wow. Who is this?”
“Don’t tease me.”
Larry and Ada smile warmly watching his embarrassed appearance.
Larry approaches and takes the necktie Johann is holding in his hand.
“This is how you tie a necktie.”
He’ll continue to help in the future, but it’s better to learn quickly.
“Overlap like this, and turn like this.”
Larry’s hand touching his neck.
His neck feels ticklish, perhaps because of the hair, but his chest feels heavy.
Larry, who has grown a bit closer since receiving the adoption certificate. Now even when he touches his neck, it doesn’t feel threatening.
“Pull it straight like this. Complete.”
“Oh?”
Johann already knows how to tie a necktie, but shows a surprised reaction.
At the click of the shutter, Larry and Johann, who were smiling warmly, look at Ada.
She’s already holding her mobile phone.
“You two men there! Stand side by side!”
“Ah, got it!”
“W-wait a moment!”
Johann hurriedly closes and opens his eyes.
This is his first photo with Larry wearing the school uniform.
He wants to look good.
Suddenly, his presence, which had almost disappeared, grows and harmonizes with Larry standing awkwardly.
Larry’s awkwardness dissolves at the silent words conveyed from below, as if telling him what to do.
Then natural smiles bloom on both their faces.
Click!
“Great! One more!”
Click!
“Ada, you come here too!”
“Wait! I didn’t put on lipstick!”
Larry’s house becomes noisy from the morning with all the commotion.
“…Wow. It’s just like a pictorial.”
“I’ll send the photos to each of you by message.”
“Thanks. Ah, Ada. Now that the adoption is complete, when are you moving out?”
“Y-you fool! Just because the adoption is finished doesn’t mean everything’s over!”
“Huh? Really?”
‘Geez. Those idiots.’
Larry is a problem, but Ada is quite a problem too.
Ding dong!
“Johann! Let’s go to school!”
Emily has arrived.
* * *
Vrooom!
Emily came to pick him up, but Johann traveled with Larry.
Emily also yielded, saying the first day of school should be with family.
They arrived at Fairmont School like that.
“…If anyone picks a fight, kill them.”
“Really kill them?”
“You idiots!”
Thwack thwack!
Ada’s fists land on Johann and Larry’s heads.
“Ugh. Johann handles things well on his own, what more is there to say.”
“That’s true, but….”
“Johann, remember this. At school, once you start being looked down upon, it’s over.”
It’s okay to cause trouble.
“I’ll handle the aftermath, so never bow down to anyone. And don’t kill anyone… try not to cripple them either.”
“Got it. I’ll do it moderately.”
“Don’t bully other people either.”
“…I’ll think about that.”
“Good! Johann, have a good day.”
“Yeah. See you in the evening. …Go quickly. Before Johnny nags you.”
“Grr.”
“Johann, I’m going! See you in the evening!”
Larry and Ada forced themselves to take reluctant steps away, and only then does Emily approach with a boy.
“Thanks for waiting, Emily.”
Johann looks at the boy standing beside Emily.
A boy who resembles Edward, about a year older but a span taller.
“You said Billy, right? Nice to meet you, Billy. I’m Johann Jefferson.”
Billy stares blankly at Johann’s outstretched hand, then turns away.
“…Hmph.”
“That idiot, seriously! Sorry, Johann. That idiot has been acting like this since this year started.”
‘Ah, must be going through puberty.’
The time when darkness fills the heart. If it’s that kind of period, it’s completely understandable.
“It’s okay. He’s probably worried since his little sister’s friend is a boy.”
“Him?”
“I’ve only heard about it, but apparently all big brothers are like that.”
“Hmm.”
Emily thinks for a moment, then shakes her head.
‘That blockhead wouldn’t be like that.’
Billy is just a villain who only researches ways to torment her.
No, that’s not the problem right now. She has something to confess to Johann.
“Um… Johann? I’m a bit different at school than usual.”
“Ah. I know what you mean. Don’t worry. There’s no way I’d misunderstand you.”
“…Thank you! Follow me, I’ll guide you to the Faculty Office!”
Emily’s expression changes as she turns around with a bright smile.
Her walk becomes confident, indifferent, and haughty.
‘She’s living a tough life too.’
Johann shook his head as he headed to the Faculty Office.
* * *
Fairmont School is divided into a total of 5 campuses.
Of these, 1 is the High School Campus, and the remaining 4 are campuses for students up to 8th grade, boasting such an enormous scale that when all campus students are combined, the total exceeds 2,000 students.
Unlike when she arrived at school, Emily walks down the corridor lost in thought, applying lip balm with her collar buttons undone, necktie loosely untied, and skirt rolled up shorter.
The students around her lower their voices.
Emily Sherman, the queen of this campus.
If you get on her bad side, trouble will follow.
Clatter!
“Emily!”
“…Joy! Lucy!”
“Kyaa!”
The three friends, meeting again after about a month, embrace each other and jump around.
“Joy? Did you lose weight?”
“Hehe. I worked out hard during vacation! Emily, you changed your shampoo?”
“I can’t act like a child forever. Lucy, you cut your bangs? Pretty!”
“Sigh. There’s a bit of a story behind that. But more importantly! Who’s that guy?”
“Johann?”
“Yeah! Him!”
Among their 4th grade class, Emily, who had never befriended anyone on SNS except them, had befriended some boy. Naturally, they had to be shocked.
So they immediately called, but Emily had brushed it off vaguely. Today, she couldn’t escape.
“Phew. Well….”
Emily had no choice but to confess everything under her friends’ intense and persistent gazes.
“Wow! A prince on a white horse!”
“Emily! Are you finally dating?! When are you going to kiss?”
Flinch!
“…Don’t say ridiculous things. He and I are just friends.”
Emily’s friends shrink back at her cold tone.
“Anyway, since he transferred here, I’ll introduce you to him later.”
“Really? I’m excited!”
“Don’t get too excited.”
‘Ugh. I don’t want to introduce him.’
She knows because they’re friends. How mischievous her friends can be.
They would definitely say something troublesome and disrupt the meeting.
Perhaps sensing Emily’s mood, Joy and Lucy smile mischievously and change the subject.
“Right. Speaking of transfers, I heard 4 students transferred to 4th grade this time. 3 of them are Asian Students.”
“Chinese Student, Japanese Student, Korean Student. Really never gets old.”
“I’d rather have that Johann kid come to Our Class. You think so too, right Emily?”
“Yeah. Well… if he can’t come, there’s nothing we can do.”
‘Sigh. I really hope we’re in the same class.’
“Emily’s so cool as always! Oh, did you see the Moncler New Collection that came out?”
Just as the Girls were about to share stories accumulated during vacation, the bell rings from the Speaker and the Front Door opens.
The Students quickly return to their Seats.
“Did everyone have fun during vacation?”
“Yes-!”
“Hello, Ms. Molly!”
“Good. I’m glad everyone seems to have done well. You all did your Homework too, right?”
“….”
“I’ll collect them later, so make sure your names are written properly.”
“Ugh.”
The Children booed, but the Homeroom Teacher was completely unaffected.
She smiles and is about to continue when she opens her mouth with an “oh right.”
“Today a new Transfer Students will be joining Our Class. Everyone welcome them with applause! Johann? Will you come in?”
“Yes, teacher.”
Clatter!
‘Kyaa!’
Heaven had granted her wish.
