Back at their place, the Russo Family were celebrating the achievement of the wizard family competition. Alex Russo is officially the family wizard and the family along with her friend, Harper are both celebrating at their place.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and Alex went to open it. They saw that standing there was a handsome Asian man wearing a black suit and grey-tie along with fancy black shoes and a coat.
"Annyonghasibnikka, is this the home of the Russo Family?" The man asked Alex. She realized that he said hello in Korean and Harper realizes that this man is from either South Korea or North Korea, she learned about the Korean War during History Class at High School and she sometimes get the two Koreas confused.
"Yes, but you said Annyonghasibnikka? What does that mean?" Alex asked the man and before she can cast a translation spell on her wand, he answered her question.
"It means 'Hello' in Korean. Again, is this the home of the Russo Family?" The man asked again.
"Yes, we are the Russo Family. Who are you?" She asked the man. She senses it could be Gorog again so she took out her wand and points it at the man.
"You tell me who you are or I am going to make you disappear to a deserted island!" She demanded but she realized that he is calm.
The man chuckled. "Seriously, you are going to threaten me with a wand?" He asked her. "I know wizards, and I know about you and your family." She was shocked, how did he know?
"For Your Information, I knew about your family wizard competition. I know you are the daughter of Jerry Russo and the family wizard." He said. That is when Alex was shocked that he knew she is her father's daughter.
"Okay, how did you knew about my family? Who are you anyway?" Jerry stepped in and Alex puts down her wand.
"Really Jerry, you don't know me?" He asked Jerry in which he replied he has never seen him before.
"Jerry, it's me. Kim-Shin, from South Korea!" He said to him and Jerry recognized that name. Harper then realizes that he is from South Korea.
"How could I forget, it is really you Kim-Shin!" He exclaimed and they both exchanged hugs and he invited Kim-Shin into the apartment.
"Dad, you know this guy? Is he a wizard too?" Justin asked his dad.
"Yep, we met sometime when I did some wizard stuff in Seoul and I haven't seen him again since then. He is not a wizard but an Immortal Goblin." Jerry explained to him.
"An Immortal Goblin?!" Alex and Justin said in shock.
"Well yeah, he is a decorated military general from the Goryeo Dynasty who was unfortunately framed as a traitor and was killed by the young king at that time. Years after he died, he was cursed by the Almighty to stay immortal forever." He explained.
"That's when I became an immortal goblin, I helped people with my powers and became a kind man in spite of my grieving past, including your father here who I was shocked that he is a wizard." Kim-Shin explained.
"How old are you?" Max asked him.
"I'm 939-years-old." Kim-Shin said in which the siblings were shocked about the age.
"939 YEARS OLD?!" The siblings along with Harper said, surprised.
"Yep, that's my age." Kim-Shin explained.
The family along with Kim-Shin sat down on the sofa and they began to talk about what's been happening.
"So, what brings you here? How's life back home in Seoul?" Jerry asked him.
"Oh, it's been great back home. I'm here on some important business and I read about your family wizard competition on the Wizard Daily and how your son Justin is now the headmaster at WizTech and your daughter Alex is the family wizard, so I decided to drop by and to offer your daughter a once-in-a-lifetime high-end scholarship at the Yonghansan-dong Wizards School in South Korea." Kim-Shin explained holding an offer letter from the university in his hand.
"Wait, the Yonghansan-dong Wizards School? Isn't that one of the high-end wizard schools in the wizard world of South Korea?" Jerry asked him.
"Well, I happened to know the headmaster who was also the former commander in the Goryeo Dynasty and that he became a wizard. He asked me to find any wizards in New York City who will want to go to his school and offer them this scholarship." He explained.
"So, I heard that you're the new headmaster at WizTech?" Kim-Shin asked Justin.
Justin replied and that he also told him how the competition went. In fact, Jerry told Kim-Shin that he thinks about passing his business, the Waverly Sub Station to Max one day since he is the only child in the family who is not a wizard anymore. But Alex is considering about that high-end scholarship offer from the Yonghansan-dong Wizards School.
"So Alex Russo, are you willing to take the offer?" Kim-Shin asked her. Alex was worried and didn't know what to do.
"Let me talk to my friend about it." Alex said and she along with Harper went to the wizard lair to discuss.
"I'm not so sure if I want this, I've read about this school on the WizTech Daily, it is one of the high-end wizards schools that only the best wizards go to and that it is in South Korea." Alex said to her.
"Alex come on. You are now the family wizard and you passed all of Professor Crumbs' Tests, so you should really go for it." Harper said.
"I really don't know. Honestly, I don't." She said.
"Why don't you discuss this with Professor Crumbs, maybe he can give you some advice." Harper said and Alex agreed.
Alex called Professor Crumbs and told him about the offer she received. After further discussions, because she is now a family wizard, Professor Crumbs told her that because of what she did during the family wizard competition, he said that it is okay for her to go. Alex agreed and she decides to go for it.
Alex and Harper both went down and told the family and Kim-Shin her decision.
"All right, I will go for this Scholarship at this wizard school." Alex told them and that they cheered, the family was very proud on where she is now going and Kim-Shin passed the offer letter to her in which she signed her name.
"Well, I will inform the headmaster that you are going to his school, I wish you the very best." Kim-Shin said to Alex who was proud of what she decided.
"Anyways, let me whip up some Korean Japche and Kimchi to celebrate." She said and took out her wand to cast the spell.
"From the land of the morning calm, whip up some Japche and Kimchi!" She casted and Japche and Kimchi were both casted on the table.
