Chapter 111 - Why don't you try before giving up?

I'm back! Owed chapter 1/7

XG 111 - Why don't you try before giving up?

"But Teacher Jang, why don't you think that maybe we could save your students? What if we have the strength to rescue them, and succeed in bringing the church's tyrannical ruling to an end?" Wong Xue Guo stood up and properly faced Teacher Jang. "Don't you want to bet if your students could be saved? Why don't you try before giving up?"

Teacher Jang was flustered, shocked that she would be so ambitious. "There are only so few of us and they are just children. The church has many people and most of them are good at injuring people. Don't say we could rescue the sacrifices, it's already impossible to bring the end to the group."

"I want to try it!"

Eyes widened in shock, Teacher Jang turned to look at Seonmi, who had eavesdropped on their conversation. With a fierce expression, she repeated, "I want to try it. Teacher Jang, they are my friends and I want to save them. When I ask everyone to follow me to the church to rescue them, I plan to search for helpers along the way. If we can't find any, I would abandon the rescue mission."

"Seonmi, it's still dangerous-"

"Teacher!" Seonmi interrupted. "You have said that when we graduate, we will face a lot of challenges in society. But as long as we stand firm and work hard, we will survive and thrive. If we don't try to rescue them, how would we know if we will succeed or not?"

"Please Teacher Jang! Please let us try!" The lanky boy bowed beside Seonmi, earnestly asking his teacher to let them be.

Teacher Jang was worried for his student's safety but their firm determination shone in their eyes finally had him yield to them.

"Princess, what are you trying to do?" Kang Xunsu was very aware that his little princess was vehemently against helping them. So why was she egging Teacher Jang then?

"Well... I'm just curious if he could go against my reasoning?" Alas, she had hit her own feet with her stone!

To make up for her fault, Wong Xue Guo smilingly asked what they would pay them for their help.

"We have nothing to give. Please help us, since you have already met us!" Seonmi said, without shame of her bold request.

"Kind people, please help us!" The lanky guy bowed deeply. "We will die if no one helps us."

Teacher Jang winced. "Kids, don't do that... that's moral kidnapping."

"If you guys are here to loot stuff, you can get a lot from the church. They had grabbed a lot of stuff. I promise thatall of them are yours! We won't take any!" Seonmi promised generously.

Wong Xue Guo gave them an unimpressed look. "That is the reward for our hard efforts, not your payment for getting us to help."

"We really have nothing valuable on us. Our food is given by the school and it's only enough for us to eat. If we give them to you, we will starve," Seonmi said rather pitifully, and the lanky boy immediately supported his friend by giving them his own version of the pitiable look.

Beom Seok's laughter was mixed with frustration. "How shameless. We don't want your food, but your body."

"What? We don't agree!" Teacher Jang immediately stood before his students.

"We are not a prostitution den. There are many ways of using a person's body," Beom Seok explained, but Teacher Jang's expression still does not look good.

"You want us to scout the place first? Get to the front lines when fighting those monsters?" The lanky guy asked warily.

"Nothing as life-threatening as that," Wong Xue Guo assured. "You just need to speak to people on our behalf and maintain our reputation at the same time. I can't explain more now, but you need to answer now before we decide to help you."
