006 All Master’s Path (1)

bang-

The door opened with a sound like it was about to break.

The windows of the classroom are trembling.

When she raises her head with a frown on her face, she sees Yuna Kim’s face engraved with dissatisfaction.

“Teacher! Teacher! Are you really going to high school? Oh, why are you going?”

Horrible indoor manners.

As soon as he saw my face, he started flirting.

Where the hell did this guy come from? I haven’t even told the teachers yet. I don’t think Park Hoon ever talked about it.

The teachers’ faces, startled by the sudden commotion, rise above the partition, then check this and disappear.

while shaking my head.

However, Yuna Kim does not raise an eyebrow even after seeing the reactions of her teachers.

“You can’t go to my sister’s class! If she goes higher than that, she can’t win!”

You see, I think you heard this guy from her sister… No way, Yuna, did you mean to beat her sister sexually?

The face of Yeon-a, who was staring at me with a blank expression, and the face of Yun-a, who is running around like a puppy, overlap. Similar but subtly different faces.

I answered with an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry, Yuna. Life is about money.”

Then, the goofy guy narrowed his eyes.

He seemed to think it would look menacing to others… but he didn’t seem afraid of a passing frog either.

Ignoring the bet, the guy immediately makes a face as if he’s decided on something.

“Woo. Then I will write a wish ticket! My wish is that the teacher continues to teach me! If you don’t follow it, it’s betrayal! Because what did the adults do every day? Be sure to keep your promises like an adult this time too!”

I nodded my head without a word. It is not a difficult wish. No, it’s more welcome on my part.

“It’s quite possible.”

“really?”

I say it again and again, but you have to listen to the end of Korean.

“Sure. Instead of tutoring.”

Classes will have to be transferred to high school, but in some cases, tutoring is possible within the academy.

Thanks to Yuna Kim, I learned the truth about USB, so it would be better to do that.

After hearing my answer, Yuna Kim contorts her face with an expression that she has suffered.

She then ran up to her and hung on her arm.

“Oh, sir, how shameful! I also wrote a wish ticket that I saved!”

“If you use that important thing carelessly, you use it.”

“Ugh… that’s really bad!”

I was worried inside because I didn’t know what kind of wish he would write, but it was fortunate.Yuna Kim grumbled for a while, then slammed the door of the classroom and left.

bang-

While shaking his head as he looked at the back of the guy who came and went like the wind, Ji-sung, who was sitting next to him, sneaked up to him and offered him a cup of coffee.

The smell of instant coffee.

It suits my taste much more than the one the director gave me.

“Sam Kim, are you moving to high school? hey it’s really good So, when do you start class?”

Ji Hyung-sik said with a soft smile.

He hesitated over something he hadn’t said before. He nodded his head with a characteristic, friendly expression on his face.

“Yeah, in five years, it’s time to go up to the high school. We know best how hard Kim is working.”

It was a topic I was reluctant to talk about openly because it was the second classroom where the marginalized from the academy gather, but if it were you, it wouldn’t matter.

“Actually, I think it will be moved right after this midterm exam is over. I didn’t know the exact date because Park Hoon came down and I was going…”

Then he tilted his head with a slightly puzzled expression.

“After this exam? Would it be a little tight?”

In fact, in the confrontation with Park Hoon, I was able to easily win thanks to an out-of-standard item called USB, but it was not a simple task to change positions with him.

He said that he would change it at any moment only when he was making a bet.

Some schools have not finished exams yet, and subject research has not been done after exams.

In addition, as the instructor changes during the semester, it was necessary to persuade the parents of the students to take my classes.

“Well, you have to endure that.”

Ji Sung-hyung’s face hardened a little after hearing my words.



“okay? Then there must be a lot of preparation…but was it your first time in high school, Mr. Kim? Will Park Hoon-i do a good job taking over?”

‘It can’t be’

I’m glad I don’t have to gossip about my students and parents.

I guess I went crazy yesterday… and shredded all the documents, leaving only the level where I wouldn’t be insulted?

The children’s test scores are probably in order, but you can’t expect things like previous year’s class materials.

If you are a typical successor instructor, it would not be strange if you suffer from panic disorder because of the burden.

However.

It was also an issue that didn’t apply to me.

Would it be better to prepare based on this year’s SAT exam paper? Or is it a test paper you will see soon so that you can see the effect right away?

Or both?

Actually it doesn’t matter either way. All you have to do is keep the good, just enough to avoid suspicion that there is an insider.

“Actually, Park Hoon isn’t the kind of person who can take over well…”

Jisung hyung shook his head with a worried face as to whether he interpreted my silence in a different way.

“Well… that’s right.”

I wanted to answer that it wasn’t such a problem, but I had no choice but to spit out a vague answer because it wasn’t a concern to tell anyone.

Then Ji Sung-hyung’s expression thought for a moment, then he smiled and opened his mouth.

“Kim, do you have an appointment for dinner tonight? Because I was in high school too. Would you like to have a drink or two?”

* * *

Sizzling-

A samgyeopsal restaurant a bit far from the academy.

The meat cooks with a delicious sound.

“Mom, please give me another bottle of soju.”

I raised my hand and placed an order.

The quality of the meat is good for the price, and it is close to the subway station, so it is a favorite place for those in the second office who are in need of money.

I heard that the people in Office 1 often go to the beef restaurant across the street.

“I used to come here very often…”

I drank a glass of wine and looked around the store.

The idol poster holding a bottle of soju, the busy staff, and me, grilling meat while clinking glasses.

It was a familiar landscape.

“Is not it. How much would it be just to drink with you here? After the first session, I came almost every day. I used to curse a lot at that time, remember?”

Ji-sung, who had been talking about high school classes for a while, paused for a moment and looked around and said, It was a shameful memory.

“Of course I remember. Do you remember when you came to the director and cursed at the bottle of soju?”

“Ah then… the day you broke the bottle and cursed at the toad on the soju bottle, saying you looked like the director, and it wasn’t a joke anyway.”

This place was like a bamboo forest to me, who struggled through life at the academy day after day.

At that time, I thought I would go crazy if I didn’t relieve the stress that had accumulated against Park Hoon, who laughed at the director’s tyranny and subtly demeanor, and the students who had no motivation.

“If I hadn’t solved it like that, I wouldn’t have been able to survive.”

“but···”

It was only a few days. A lot has changed in a few days.

“Yeah, it’s good to see you doing well these days. After five years of hardship, now is the time to get lucky.”

After pouring out a glass of soju, he poured the drink back into his own glass.

To be honest, there was no one more unlucky than Ji Hyung-sik in front of me.

In terms of career, I am not pushed by anyone at the academy and, unlike me, who came from a jijap university, I have a strong academic background, but since I came to this academy, I have been locked up in the second classroom and treated as trash.

Today, his broad shoulders seemed particularly small.

Things that didn’t seem urgent to vomit up my anger are now starting to appear.

“Let’s have a drink.”

braided-

The sound of the glass clinking was particularly cold.



The overcooked meat piled up one after another, but I didn’t even think to eat him at all.

“brother. Have some snacks and drink. Then, if you get deceived, what will you do tomorrow?”“·················ogue.”

As the wine piled up, one or two, his mouth got tighter and tighter.

“brother. What are you doing these days?”

He smiled bitterly for a moment, then opened his mouth with a smirk.

“···no. I just do it because I’m worried about hearing my wife nagging me.”

It was my expectation, but it seemed to have nothing to do with it.

“Brother… no, brother. What’s wrong? During that time, you have accepted my truth a lot, so sometimes you have to show the truth to me so that the balance is right.”

“·················ogue.”

“Oh, really, talk to me!”

“·················ogue.”

He swallowed for a moment at my continued question, but after a while he opened his mouth.

“actually······.”

Here’s what he said about the story.

After many of the students he was in charge of moved up to the high school, the director began to interfere with his classes in every way.

Of course, he had occasionally ridiculed or sarcastic about students’ grades before, but he wasn’t as blatant as this time.

Even yesterday, when I entered a class that was going well and tried to observe recklessly, I had an argument with the principal in front of the children, and some of the students quit the academy because of that.

As things turned out like this, I thought it would be difficult to stay at the academy any longer, so I thought of quitting, but even that doesn’t seem to be easy as the director fell over the issue of severance pay.

“·················ogue.”

When he finished speaking, his face turned pale.

“They said, “Do you just drop your children’s grades and run away without hesitation? Damn, if you keep going like this, you won’t be able to set your feet on the academy, so if you want to go out, please raise your kids’ grades…”

He spoke in a self-helpful voice and poured every last drop into his glass.

A full glass of wine drips down.

Moment.

A pretty good idea popped into my head.

A distant future that seems natural to those who own USB.

If Jisung hyung joins us in that future, I think it would be pretty good.

Because he has everything except luck.

Although he may not be able to produce instant results, he is a master at creating a foothold for explosive growth by steadily and solidifying the basics of children.

In a math subject where understanding and basic skills are important, he is a very strong instructor, but the director just doesn’t recognize it.

‘Well, I’m personally ignorant,’

I design the future that will unfold in the future, and I took the first step with my mouth.

Thinking about the future, it would be better to finish it neatly with this place now.

“brother. Can I help you with a little finish?”

At my words as I fill the glass, Ji Sung hyung only tilts his head with a puzzled expression.
