Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“That bastard...!”

“Miss Min-yong. The teacher is patient.”

“No, I have nothing else to bear, how could he do this to me?”

“···········?”

Ji Chang-hyeon, a teacher in charge of English classes at Gunpo Hi-Tech High School, put on an absurd expression on the words of Kang Pil-yong.

However, Kang Pil-yong did not know that and continued to be angry as if he was angry.

“How much I loved and loved him in the past, but instead of repaying his kindness, he is repaying him with his enemies, isn’t he?”

“Grace?”

"Yes. How seriously did I teach him?”

“····.”

“When I think of that, I can’t even live with the heat inside me even now.”

"under······."

Teacher Ji Chang-hyeon made a face that he was annoyed, and turned around as if he didn't want to talk anymore.

‘Before, after being so mean to Lee Jun-hyuk and swearing at him from behind, why did he come to Inje and say such nonsense all of a sudden?’

It was an absurd situation for Ji Chang-hyun.

However.

‘Because I am such a human being, what……..’

It was not the first time Ji Chang-hyun had seen Kang Pil-yong for over ten years.

‘Every time I go through it, I can’t get used to it, but I have to live with it anyway.’

If he spoke harsh words or harsh words to Kang Pil-yong for nothing, but harbored any resentment, his teaching life became very difficult.

So Ji Chang-hyun just concentrated on his work like other teachers.

“Let’s see, Lee Joon-hyuk...”

However, Kang Pil-yong was still reminiscing about the gae-mushi he had been subjected to earlier, and he was shivering alone without doing any work.

All the other teachers glanced at Kang Pil-yong and liked that he ate only sweet potatoes, but thanks to Lee Jun-hyeok, he drank carbonated cider after a long time.

*

“What happened all of a sudden? Are you suddenly number 1 in the country after 17 years of disappearance?”

“That’s it, sir.”

I sat down on a quiet school park bench with Lim Chang-yong, had tea time and chatted.

“A lot has changed here too.”

I said that as I looked around the outdoor break room built behind the canteen.

'In the past, everything was a mountain...'

Suddenly, a large apartment complex was built next to the school, and the wall around the cafeteria, which was originally blocked by a wall, was also demolished and turned into an outdoor lounge with a shade.

“In 10 years, even rivers and mountains change, so of course they change.”

“But, Professor Kang Pil-yong is still here.”

“Well… that’s right.”

When the name Kang Pil-yong came up, a shadow suddenly fell on Lim Chang-yong's face.'After all, it seems that these days, you are still a nuisance to other people...'

I didn't even want to call Kang Pil-yong a teacher, but I had no choice but to use my honorific title because Lim Chang-yong was right in front of me.

'I was also a fixed-term teacher, and I was a human being who had no ability and barely made a living with pull-ups every two years...'

With that ability, he had endured for over 20 years so far, so the yangban could also be seen to be great in some respects.

'Let's read a little bit about that person...'

There was no need to read the memories of Lim Chang-yong, he immediately read the traces of the wind and collected the memories of Kang Pil-yong.

- Teacher Kang Pil-yong, you said you had an accident again this time? Did you say that the eardrum ruptured when you hit the child by mistake with a stick?

- Teacher Kang Pil-yong talks too much behind the scenes. Cursing other teachers while not seeing them, huh... It's really disgusting to see that he's still surviving because he sucked at the principal and vice-principal.

- I don't know why the yangban continues to remain in the teaching profession. The content of the class is also crap, the students do not teach well, and the other teachers are only harmed in business every time. If a person doesn't have the ability, he has to be kind, eh...

'Well······.'

Even though I haven't read a few, I'm already getting goosebumps all over my body.

‘Even if it’s a crappy school where students smoke in the bathroom during breaks and students don’t even study, how can a teacher like that spend such a long time in the teaching profession?’

No matter how much I thought about it, I did not understand the education system in this country.

It didn't make sense.

‘Maybe this is an area that needs to be corrected.’

I thought that I only had to deal with my company and North Korea-related affairs, but the chronic education problem that had piled up inside South Korea was more serious than I thought.

“Anyway, Junhyuk. I'm really glad you're doing well."

“It’s all thanks to the teacher. what."

“He left after less than a year with me, Abu.”

"Really. When I was preparing for the entrance exam this time, the words the teacher gave me helped a lot.”

“Is that so? Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

The teacher was shy, but inside she was very happy and smiled.

Actually, my words are not lies, because the study method taught by Lim Chang-yong was very useful in another world.

“Anyway, today is the graduation ceremony for the kids I teach, and you came at just the right time.”

“Graduation?”

"okay. Even though you didn't graduate properly, wouldn't it be nice if you, as a senior at this school, could say something nice to the juniors graduating this time?"

"Hmm······."

You want me to stand on the podium for the graduation ceremony and give a speech?

'Somehow that's not my style...'

He was extremely reluctant to appear in front of others, so he avoided such positions as much as possible.

However.

‘Still, it’s a teacher’s request, so let’s talk about it…’

If I was going to go into society and would like to talk about the harsh reality of society, rather than talking about a grand vision for the future, I wanted to talk a lot to the students who are going to enter the university.

“Well, I have nothing to do today, so I will. what."

“Thank you, man.”

The teacher patted her on the shoulder if I was willing to spare her own spirit and thanked her sincerely.

So, I went back to the office with the teacher and prepared some good words for the students.

*

“With congratulations to the 60th graduates graduating today, the future is endless…”

When the students went to school, and at 11 am, the graduation ceremony of Gunpo Hi-Tech High School began.

Along with the words of the principal and vice-principal, various events of juniors congratulating the graduates followed.

“Ha ha-!”

They were usually students who wanted to go home quickly, so they yawned like they were sleepy and chatted among themselves.

“Doesn’t our school invite celebrity events to celebrate graduation?”

"Hey nigga, where's the money in our school for that? And now, what do you spend that money on the 3rd graders who are losing their loss?”

“Accept that.”

“Anyway, when we graduate, those people and us will be each other. just be the uncle. Now, by law, we are each other’s teachers and students, so we have no choice but to do something like this. Otherwise, there is no soup.”

"after······."

As I listened to the students' sharp factual assault from a distance, I sighed for a moment.

‘It seems like they don’t know anything, but that’s how they know everything.’

To be honest, it was a graduation ceremony that did not contain much sincerity, so the students seemed to be waiting for this time to end quickly.

‘Anyway, the difference of opinion is important.’

In fact, what most people misunderstand is that 'thoughts end up as thoughts and have no effect on reality.'

But if you take a closer look, you'll find that our thoughts really control our reality and our entire life.

'If you think you're going to live a rough life, you're living a really rough life, and if you think you're going to live hard, you'll live a hard life, and so on.'

Is it mind control?

Depending on which direction one's thoughts are directed, the person's reality and future will change.

Of course, there was also a problem with schools that did not lead students to actively pursue their dreams and ideals.

But, how long do parents and teachers have to feed them?

‘Your life is about pioneering yourself. From one to ten, no one is in charge.’

Even if it was a den of garbage, if he had a willingness to change, he could get out of that den, and if he assimilated into the atmosphere of the den and looked at the world only cynically, he would end up living a life of triviality just like that type of person.

‘After all, people with good mind control are the most successful people in the world, right?’

Talent?

Talent is, of course, important.

However, in the end, in my view, the ultimate victory depends on the person's will and persistence.

Do those guys know that a talent that looks big right now is a shallow talent that can be turned over when looking back later?

“Come on, students who are graduating this year. Were you tired of being nagging at Kkondae until the end?”

“····.”

"Yes!"

A few playful friends didn't notice and spit out their deepest thoughts as if it was the last time.

"all right. Kkondae's nagging should end here..."

After having such luck, the principal immediately looked at my seat and opened his mouth again.

“A special senior came to my alma mater for the 3rd grade juniors graduating today. You are the most talked about person these days as the longest-serving person in the country. Do you all know who it is?”

“Lee Joon-hyuk!!!”

“Lee Jun-hyuk senior!”

“I love you, senior!”As industrial schools have gained popularity in recent years, many female students have also been enrolled in our school.

So, along with the shouts of the male students, the shouts of the female students were also intermittently mixed.

'Oh, I'm going to die of embarrassment...'

Even though I had heard of the pre-show in advance, I couldn't help but feel my face heat up.

thump thump.

I got up from the front seat and walked to the pulpit.

“Wow, the national chief!”

“Senior, I absolutely love you! Please marry me!”

“Hey, are you crazy? What are you talking about?”

After all, there were a lot of girls who boldly applied for a confession because they were still high school girls.

Of course it's all a joke.

smart.

“Ah-!”

I tested by tapping the mic twice, and then immediately started speaking.

"Hello everyone. This is Junhyeok Lee, a dropout from Gunpo Hi-Tech High School.”

“Wow… huh?”

“A dropout?”

“Aren’t you a graduate? Why dropout?”

The students who were shouting at the word “dropout” suddenly tilted their heads with bewildered expressions, and the teachers who sat in the faculty chairs all looked up at me with puzzled expressions.

“Actually, I have never in my life ever thought of myself as a graduate of this school.”

“·················ogue.”

“I couldn’t go to school in my first year for personal reasons.”

"Ah···."

“It was.”

The students shook their heads as if they understood.

Some students even looked at me with sympathy.

“It’s amazing that you’ve even made it to the top of the country in such a poor environment.”

Some students suddenly went back to happiness and started having strange delusions about me.

I am towards those students.

“However, when I took the GED and finished first in the country in the SAT, I suddenly turned into a graduate of this school. I found out for the first time today. I thought I was a graduate of this school.”

“Fuhaha, what is it?”

“Then, aren’t you saying that I suddenly dropped a spoon at school because I dropped out of my senior from school and then suddenly got a perfect score on the SAT after 17 years and became the top national in the country?”

“I think I put a straw in it? Junhyeok sunbaenim’s fact assault is boring…”

“If I had acted like I didn’t know, no one would have known, but you have a very pleasant personality. That’s great.”

The students laughed at my declaration of a bomb and put on a face that they were going to die.

“How did this happen? Teacher Kang Pil-yong?”

“·······There is no portion of noodles. principal."

This time, Kang Pil-yong, who actively promoted this work by sleeping with a straw in the nation's No. 1 Jun-hyeok Lee and walking to the placard, was confused as his face became contemplative.
