(41)

Maybe it’s dawn, the roads are cool, but the heart is stuffy.

Less than a day had passed since the article was posted, but rumors had already spread and I became an unscrupulous teacher who touched underage students.

I called dozens of times on my way to and from Seoul, but the people who said Despachin and Despachin did not answer.

Of course, it wasn’t just that he was sucking his fingers.

All day yesterday, I prepared evidence to prove my innocence while explaining no to the people around me.

Originally, as soon as the sun rose today, I went to the broadcasting station or newspaper with the evidence I had prepared to prove my innocence and to sue the place where I first posted the article, but now I am on my way to the training center in Daejeon.

Because of the goddamn new teacher practical evaluation.

Since it has become ‘national trash’, I tried to find out if I could postpone the practical evaluation or receive it later, but it is institutionally impossible.

Unless there are special reasons such as death in an immediate family member, natural disaster, serious illness, or injury for more than 3 weeks, postponement is not possible, and if you do not take the evaluation today, you cannot start classes from next semester.

So, I am going to Daejeon, crying and eating mustard.

Since the training center does not control cell phones or the Internet separately, everyone should know my story… .

In the first place, it is known that the guy who was viewed badly as a non-hunter school was also touched by a minor student, so it is already good to see that he will not give an opportunity to explain and act like a bug.

Luckily, I got a call from Mr. Kim before I left, and there was a reporter from a major media company among my acquaintances.

The practical evaluation is conducted in the form of randomly organized hunters attacking portals that match their grade, so I plan to finish it as soon as possible and return to Seoul.

Because I decided to meet not only the clarification but also the lawyer.

I don’t expect cooperation and I’m going to do my best to finish it as soon as possible, so I hope I don’t get into a fuss.

Because I feel like I’m going to be beaten to death if someone touches me right now.

As I calmed down and drove the car, I arrived in front of the training center before I knew it.

At 9 o’clock in the auditorium at the training center, there was a lottery and an announcement was made, but it wasn’t even 8:30 yet.

If I went in early, I wouldn’t look good, so I took out my phone, thinking I should go in a little later.

The first thing I saw was email.

Yesterday I couldn’t get in touch with you, so I had no choice but to send an e-mail that refutes the contents of the article item by item, asking for a corrected report, but I still haven’t read it.

Anyway, even if they come and give me a corrected report, I won’t just skip it.

I clicked on the article still hanging on the main page to check it, but the number of comments increased again.

most… No, 99% of it is about swearing at me and asking me to get rid of it right away.

1% is advertising or politics.

It is full of curse words that I can’t even say in my mouth, even mentioning that I am an orphan and from a non-hunter school.

The primary responsibility is the journalists and media accidents who posted these ridiculous false articles.

Yesterday, at the consultation with the lawyer, I heard that you can sue malicious comments that cross the line, whether they are wrong or legitimate.

I was going to put my phone in because I thought it would only hurt me if I kept looking at it, but I got a call from an unknown number.

I was about to ignore it, but pressed the call button.

I wrote down the number in the e-mail, so it could be a reporter.

“hello.”

―Are you Shinhyuk Kang?

“Yes. you’re right.”

―My name is Kim Yeong-kwang, a human rights investigator at the Student Human Rights Education Center, Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. I am contacting you because of this controversial incident.

“ah… .”

There was also a position from the police in the articles that were pouring in after the incident broke out, and although Eunseo is a minor, she is 16 years old, so if they mutually agreed, they could not be punished legally, and since there was no separate report, they said that they could not come forward.

―Mr. Kang Shin-hyeok, you need to come here by 9:00 tomorrow because you have to undergo a related investigation.

Even if they can’t be punished legally, they can be punished, so the Office of Education seems to have stepped in, but it worked out rather well.

“Can’t it be done today, not tomorrow?”

―Isn’t there a practical evaluation for new teacher training today? So tomorrow… .

“I will investigate first. As for the practical evaluation, how can you do something about it?”

It’s a bit of a waste to have already come down to Daejeon, but it’s much better than being framed and being judged.

I’ve already prepared all the evidence.

―That sounds like a bit difficult… . Just take it and come tomorrow.

was flatly rejected.

I felt like cursing, but I managed to hold it in.

“I’m really sorry, but then can I go after the practical evaluation today?”

―Hmm, I heard that the practical evaluation of new teacher training takes quite a long time. We all leave work at 6 o’clock, so you have to come by 3 o’clock at the latest. Is that possible?

3 o’clock is enough.

I said okay and hung up the phone.

When I checked the time, it was nearly 9 o’clock, so I drove to the training center.

“How did you get here?”

“Because of today’s performance evaluation.”

“Could you give me your ID?”

The look on the security guard’s face when he was checking his ID card goes bad.

He returns his ID card with the eyes of looking at trash, but it seems that this person also saw the article.

I felt like a beggar, but I held it in and headed to the parking lot.

I park the car and head to the auditorium, but the back of my head hurts.

“Isn’t that Kang Shin-hyuk?”

“Right. What kind of mug did you come with?”

“That’s right. How can you touch a disciple?”

“Did you see the article too? I heard that I was only in the first grade of a female high school. The real world is going crazy.”

“I don’t want to be in the same group as that trash.”

“Just looking at it, it seems that he seduced her with a face that looked like a parasitic brother. They say you didn’t even go to Hunter School.”

“Then you must be an orphan?”

“They say that the squids are responsible for the disgrace of the fish exhibition, and I don’t know if we, who teach students in good standing, are also being criticized for such garbage.”

I can hear you doing it on purpose.

All of them are strangers, but my face has already been sold.

Because I appeared on Witube in the past and the Witube Cyber Rexcars carried my photos that were uploaded to the school homepage.

Haa, I expected it to a certain extent, but actually experiencing it really makes my fist cry.

I want to tell them not to talk nonsense when they don’t even know me.

However, after chasing each and every one of them, I thought that I couldn’t do that and that they wouldn’t believe me, so I arrived at the auditorium, reminding myself of the patience I had to endure.

The situation was similar in the auditorium.

no one comes around me

Last time I found the female teachers I spoke to, but they didn’t give me a glance and turned away.

I didn’t even expect it in the first place.

Group assignments have begun, but still stinging eyes are pouring out, so I hope my name will be called soon.

Whether it’s a B-class portal or an A-class portal, once the decision is made, I’ll quickly destroy it and go to clear my name.

“Then, we are the last member of Group E. Shinhyuk Kang!”

It’s the E group.

Right away, Group E wrote down the location of the portal to attack on their cell phones.

“Haa, why did you have to be in the same group as that trash?”

“I’m lucky.”

“It looks like a beggar, really.”

Some people who are in the same group as me frown and express their dissatisfaction… Who knows what’s good?

I didn’t want to even talk at all, but I wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so I approached the man who was decided to be the leader of Group E.

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

I said I would move individually to the man who only nodded his head without looking at me with bug-seeing eyes.

I brought a car anyway, and no one wants to go out with me.

There may be something like cooperative spirit in the evaluation category, but right now I don’t have the time to worry about that.

The man said yes, so I left the auditorium and returned to the parking lot.

I took a navigator and it took 15 minutes.

Pretty close.

Thinking that it was fortunate, I drove the car following the guidance of the navigation system and arrived near the portal.

After parking the car and climbing the mountain a little with the sword, you see soldiers standing guard with the portal.

I was in such a hurry that the other team members didn’t seem to have arrived yet, but every minute and one second was wasted, so I went straight to the soldiers.

“Are you from the training center? Give me your ID… ah.”

The expression on the sergeant’s face as he asked for an ID instantly hardened like that of a security guard.

The other soldiers nearby also stare at each other with a muttering.

“Isn’t that Kang Shin-hyeok?”

“Does it seem right?”

“Didn’t the platoon commander say yesterday that portal training teachers are coming here?”

“Yes it was. Do you think that son of a bitch is still going to continue doing things like that?”

“really… What are the police doing, they don’t catch trash like that.”

“I saw an article in the morning, but the girl was 16 years old and there was no report, so the police couldn’t do anything about it.”

“Didn’t the parents of the girls report it? It’s really shameless. A guy like that is also a teacher… .”

These days, soldiers also use cell phones, so it seems that everyone recognized me.

“Here it is.”

After looking at the ID card, he returns it with a rotten face.

“I wonder if I should go in first, okay?”

“You can do whatever you want.”

His expression and his blunt tone were quite intrusive, but he endured it.

Because doing what you want means you can go in.

I thought that they might tell me to wait until the other team members came, but I jumped right into the portal thinking it was fortunate.

* * *

“Hosik hyung, I’m in Group E too.”

“yes? That’s great.”

“I heard that the trash was going to your brother earlier, what did you say?”

“Maybe it was embarrassing, he said he would act individually. I’ll even go to the portal. I had no intention of burning it anyway.”

“Individual actions? Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”

“I don’t know if that garbage dies or not. It’s not that we told them to quit, they said they would take individual actions on their own.”

“That is true. So it’s like our group is 9 people… It must be a bit tight.”

“I’ll catch a few if I don’t want to fail at all. And Youngshik, hyung, it’s A rank. Nothing to worry about. Don’t you believe me?”

The portal to be attacked as a practical evaluation task is 10 B-class people.

It may take a little more time, but clearing is not a problem even if one such scumbag is missing.

“Of course I believe. How reassuring it is to be in the same group as your brother. Please take good care of me.”

“yes. Oh, did Yeongsik say your car was a 12-seater carnival?”

“Yes. When we go later, we all go in my car.”

“That would be better. So let’s get ready If you are in Group E, please gather here.”

We gathered the members together and had time to briefly introduce each other.

The crew members asked questions because they couldn’t see the trash, but they explained it as if they were talking to Yeong-sik.

Some members of the crew seemed to be concerned about whether there were actually 9 members like Yeong-shik, so they reassured them that it was okay, prepared and decided to meet at the main gate by 10:00.

I was going to leave a little earlier, but everyone said that the location of the portal was close and that I could take care of it within today anyway, so I asked if there was a need to rush, so I set it at 10:00.

After returning to my room and getting ready, I spent time surfing the web, and it was already 10 o’clock.

I hurriedly came to the front door… what?

Young-sik has no car, and the other members of the crew are nowhere to be seen.

I couldn’t have left first, so I took out my cell phone to make a call, and then I saw a black carnival coming out from the parking lot.

Young-sik said he was dozing off, and other members of the group came one by one to apologize for being late, so I was about to say something, but I held back.

I’m not on time either, so there’s no need to spoil the atmosphere.

When we arrived at the portal, it was past 10:30.

The portal our group was assigned to is only 15 minutes away from the training center, but everyone was late and Yeong-sik took the wrong route in the middle, so we lost a lot of time.

It would be impossible to finish it before lunchtime, so I think I should handle it moderately, come out around 1:00, eat, and continue.

But I don’t see any garbage.

They said they would act individually, so they said they would understand, but if they don’t come at all, they’ll be disqualified.

I don’t care what happens to that guy, but I approached the soldier who was on the lookout and asked because it could spark me, and he said he came around 9:20 and went in.

The soldiers ask me if Kang Shin-hyeok is an unscrupulous teacher, but it seems that the soldiers noticed and entered the portal first.

At 9:20, did you wait for over an hour?

If it were someone else, I would have been sorry, but feeling sorry for such a scumbag is a luxury.

“Everyone goes in. Kang Shin-hyeok came first and entered.”

“Brother, what honorific do you give to such a scumbag?”

“All such scum should die.”

Chewing Kang Shin-hyuk, he entered the portal with everyone.

It is a very good mountain terrain.

It’s relatively easy and the rewards are good.

“Hosik-hyung, Kang Shin-hyeok entered first, right? Can’t you see?”

“I heard you said you were acting individually. Aren’t you hunting first?”

“a… Mr. Minseo, the article says that he is a Hunter Rank B, but this is a 10-person B-class portal. How do you get around alone?”

“If the soldiers weren’t lying, I think you went alone?”

weird.

From the beginning, they said they would act individually, but I thought they would act in such a way as to take care of one or two monsters that follow us and miss us… .

“Are you excited to die?”

I am of the same opinion.

“Honestly, such garbage is cheap even when it dies.”

“If Jo Won dies, don’t we all lose our evaluation points?”

“He said he would take individual actions first, and he came alone, so we don’t mind… .”

I was so startled that I stopped talking.

The sky, which was blue until we arrived, started to turn yellow.
