Chapter 3

003 Straw? NO! aircraft carrier!

“Yeonah. Let’s focus, focus.”

The test paper you are holding in your hand is heavy.

Although it is a thin sheet of A4 paper, the time and pride of the past five years are at stake on this one test paper.

But

“Sir, is that class over? Why am I the only one left? What about letting the other kids go?”

The guy who will take the test tomorrow didn’t help, so there was no way to progress.

It has been like this since the first time I talked about taking supplementary classes.

‘Uh, why? Why do I have to? why? Why?’

I wanted to squeeze the head of this guy with a bloated face and tilted his head as if he didn’t understand the English language…

“Yuna you…”

“Yes?”

this wretched guy. He already knows everything, but pretends he doesn’t know.

However, in order to win the bet with the manager, I need this guy’s help, so I have to use every method I can to get this guy’s heart back.

“Don’t you want to get good grades?”

Let me speak in a soft voice.

“Hehe.”

The guy just smiles with an innocent face without saying anything.

He let out a deep sigh inwardly.

USB in my pocket right now. This is the only place I can lean on now.

If the future exam papers in this book are really real, Yuna’s will to do well on the exam will be enough to turn it around.

‘What is it?’

There must be some way to change this guy’s heart… Something that his age would like…

“Yeon-ah, do you have anything you would like to have? Or whatever you want to eat.”

Rather, I decided to ask in a cool way. Yes, there must be something you like.

But this guy was only pouting his lips and twitching the back of his nose.



“no! None at all. My parents buy me everything I want to eat.”

Because of the guy who keeps trying to get out, he’s on the verge of burning out from the inside.

But there is not much time left.

As the time that I had set aside for supplementary classes ended, my heart was burning as well.

In the end, I raised both hands.

“If you get over 60 points tomorrow, I’ll listen to everything you want to do. Let’s do what the teacher tells us to do today, okay?”

A karate ball thrown out of desperation.

but?

Surprisingly, Yuna’s response is good.

“Oh really? Wow, I promised. Is there no way to break this?”

“uh?”

When I panicked, Yuna glanced at her watch and rushed.

“Hurry up. Teacher! test study! test study! You don’t have much time! Cheer up! Cheer up!”

It seems that the guy’s attitude changed so easily that it was ridiculous,’Now that’s not important.’

The only thing that really matters is the fact that he has to carve the test in his head for the remaining 40 minutes.

I wanted to tell them to pull out all the questions stored in the USB and memorize the question numbers and answers as they are… but that’s too dangerous.

His memory is also questionable, and if the USB is fake, the score won’t even be 20.

And no matter how desperate I was, I didn’t want to do it even as Myeongsaek was called a teacher.

For this reason, I started to tell the teachers to memorize the difficult problems that they give to control the average score as much as possible, and other problems that can be solved easily with a little study, step by step, enough to avoid incorrect answers.

So after some time has passed.

“Teacher! Here, this, this, the answer is a poetic speaker, right?”

“That’s right! And look at page 45 of the textbook! yes there…”

As if before, the atmosphere in the classroom had changed significantly.

For some reason, he also seemed to be burning strangely, but it must be his mood.

Even if he couldn’t understand the whims of the adolescent girl, this time, he didn’t hate his whim.

“… Teacher, is this this?”

nothing

What kind of teacher can hate a student who wants to study with such a dazzling gaze?

The day goes by so quickly.

Soon the day of the decisive battle arrived.

* * *

next day.

There was an uncomfortable atmosphere in the director’s room.

“Mr. Kim. Remember yesterday’s bet?”

The director narrows his eyes and looks at me.

In the name of a meeting before the children left school, it seemed like this from the time the lecturers who went to work were gathered together.

It seems like you are very determined to get me out.

Laughter erupted from everywhere at the manager’s words. These are the instructors belonging to the 1st Office, including Hoon Park.

However, the second office, where most of them were in a similar situation to me, had a generally bitter expression.

close-

The director took a bottle of juice from the refrigerator and opened the lid.

And he smiles and opens his mouth.

“This is not some kind of secondary school. It’s a space for adults to do business, you know that words spoken out have legal effect, right? I trust that you will act responsibly. Teacher Kim has a great sense of responsibility, right?”

The director seemed to take this opportunity to sort out the ones he didn’t like, and to establish his own prestige for the teachers who would watch it.

However, he had no intention of falling into such a childish provocation.

For me, this bet was not just a matter of winning or losing, nor was it a matter of whether or not to go to the academy.

USB.

Is it real or fake? That’s important. It was a matter of whether or not I could seize this opportunity that would never come again in the world.

If only the contents of the USB are real, what’s the point of not getting fired from this small local academy?

Thanks to this, I was able to keep my mind calm enough to respond calmly.

I am now seeing farther away than others.

“Are you just leaving now? There is no response to the manager’s words. Huh.”

The director smiles as if he is displeased with my unexpectedly calm attitude.

Then, the instructors in the first classroom began to speak one word at a time.

“That’s it. Aww, who knew that all that politeness was a pretense? No, is it easy to raise 20 points to 60 points in one day? Your opponent must be your opponent. Against Kim Yuna, the commander of the 20th Corps of Heaven.”

When the gossipist Park Hoon couldn’t stand the time and intervened again, he opened his mouth as if he didn’t want to give up even the devil’s grandmother, who was in the same department of Korean language.

“I’ve been through that girl named Yuna Kim once, and she’s so nervous, hey, she’s really looking forward to it… No matter how much money she pours into a truck. Even if the Daechi-dong 1st hit instructor comes over there, what’s 60 points, can’t even get over 50 points?”

After all, isn’t it just lying down and spitting when a teacher curses a student?

They were waving their tails at the director and painting my face with shit.

The faces of some teachers who know it well are wrinkled. Among them, Eunsol’s face was the most impressive, and it was as if he was looking at filthy filth.

So, a few minutes passed.

“Did you come outside the director?”

One of the classroom teachers, who had been out for a while to prepare for class, opened the door to her conference room and said,

“Then, Mr. Kim. let’s get up It’s the last one though, so you should check it yourself, right? I’ll take a look and see if I’ve packed well.”

The manager urged me in a cheerful tone.

* * *

Yuna Kim’s back view outside the window was very dark, contrary to what I expected.

The guy who sits with her head down on her desk, with her head crumpled, looks too small.

She looks like a person who can’t see who has passed the exam well.

A smile grew on her head’s toad-like face. It’s ironic that she’s the head of an academy she likes even though she didn’t take the exam.

A truly incomparable human being.

“It looks like I won. It’s normal, though.”

The director, who arrived at the door, vigorously opened the door as if he had become a triumphant general.

“Yeon-ah, did you do well on the exam? How many points do you think will come out?”

And the moment when Yuna Kim lifts her face, surprised by the bluntness.

thud-

My heart also fell.

Yuna Kim’s face was distorted as if she was about to drop her tears at any moment.

Oh, did you miss the exam? Was the USB just a joke to catch people?

It felt like the straw she had grabbed was shattering in her hand.

“Teacher… Teacher… How are you…”

As Yuna Kim’s crying face turned to me, it was as if a large needle flew into her chest and pierced her.

“Hey, so, don’t cry and talk about it… So how many points did you get?”

The director was really showing the end of humanity.

No, my academy’s student is crying because he didn’t pass the exam. Is that what you are saying as a director?

All expectations were crushed, but as an adult, I was too sorry to see it that way.

“Stop, sir. I will leave.”

When I say it out loud, it is rather refreshing. Let’s go, this school.

“No, I’m not asking because of something like that. I have to manage the raw scores.”

The director lifted his hand from Yuna Kim with a chuckle as if he had achieved his intended purpose.

Yuna Kim bit her lip as if trying to hold back her crying.

“Teacher… I had a wish for you…”

No matter how clever she is, is she a child?

“It’s okay, because you worked hard… I’ll listen, just tell me”Then that moment.

fuck-

Yuna Kim’s crying face turned into a smiling, chattering cat.

Her eyes, which looked like they were about to burst into tears, were curved like half moons,

The director and I had no choice but to stare blankly at him until the twisted corners of his lips turned into a long smile.

“Oh really? I only got 59 points because I pushed a few. Did you really say you would listen? Oh yea!”

Then, the corners of the director’s lips go down.

“Uh… what? How many points?”

Yuna Kim replied cheerfully.

“59 points!”

·····················································································?

The director blinks his eyes with a bewildered expression. The exam questions at the school Yuna Kim attends are very subjective, so it is difficult to get a score by taking them.

But how did Yuna Kim of the 20th Corps more than double her score in one day?

However, that was not the end.

“There could have been more, but at the end of the last few questions, only that came out. Sam! All the parts that you filmed came out, how did you do it? Are you a superpower?”

As usual, the boy’s eyes twinkled as he looked back at me with a lively reply.

Instead of answering, I just smiled. my heart is pounding

I checked again.

“Yeon-ah, did you really get all the parts I checked out?”

“Yes. Totally creepy! Because the high difficulty problem came out just as the real teacher said. Even the subjective answers were exactly the same! Absolutely crazy!”

It was the answer I had longed to hear.

What I thought was straw was actually an aircraft carrier.

exam questions for decades to come.

From the performance evaluation to the entrance exam. All the tests that measure, evaluate, and share the class of human beings in Korea are all in my hands.

The director who was denying reality in front of his eyes was not even noticed.

“Master. The manager won. As promised, I’ll organize it right now and leave. You have worked hard all this time.”

“no······.”

The director could not continue speaking as if he was bewildered by my sudden words.

“Oh, sir, are you going to this academy? A. I’ll talk to my mom and move on too. Sam where are you going? I’m coming too! My friends too!”

The 20th Corps corps commander, who was listening quietly, ran around like a puppy.

The director’s eyes trembled anxiously.

I’m trying to soothe Yuna, who keeps sticking to her, and head to the office.

“Kim… Mr. Kim! Wait”

There was a loud thumping sound behind my back.

“Hey there, Mr. Kim. Wait a minute. Listen to me.”

The director spoke in a gentle tone like never before.

“Yes, what happens to the person who lost the bet? Oh, severance pay?”

When I asked, the manager waved his hand.

“No, severance pay, who said such a disgusting thing? just···”

The director said in a subdued voice, sweating like rain that didn’t suit the season.

“Why don’t we make it a draw?”
