chapter 18
018. Reward Harvest
“11 Points. “This is the highest test score ever.”
This snake speaks with a grin.
11 Points.
Does this score make sense?
“Didn’t you say 10 is a perfect score?”
“For the first academy test, it was traditional to get a perfect score of 10. “They only give you tasks that you can’t complete perfectly in the first place.”
This poisonous snake came down from the window in a motion that made a sound effect called ‘Sappun’.
“Student Siwoo did it perfectly, right? “My rating is 10 points.”
She lifted her index finger and waved it gently.
“Add 1 subjugation point to that, making it 11 points.”
Is it okay for the academy system to run like that?
Receiving a good score is something to be happy about.
However, distrust in the future evaluation system is about to arise.
Doksa Lee said with a smile.
“Of course, this is the original regulation. “It’s just that the rule was never used.”
Then she shrugged her shoulders and said.
“This is the first time I heard about such a rule from the principal.”
… This was my first time hearing it too.
Even though the settings of Amman Gakheonheon were carefully planned, I expected that the empty parts would be filled in on their own.
So, I was prepared to some extent.
Anyway, I didn’t expect there to be a completely new back story regarding the academy exam.
‘After all, it’s dangerous to take actions that deviate too much from the main story.’
This time, luckily it worked out for the better.
But that doesn’t mean God will always be on my side.
‘No, I didn’t listen until now. On the contrary, I doubt it because I am lucky.’
My thinking circuit works like this because I am filled with disbelief about the luck that comes my way.
“Student Siwoo, why do you make that expression? Don’t you like your score? “Please drop me off?”
This poisonous snake is teasing me with a mischievous expression.
“No. I’m happy. “Please give me 11 points.”
It’s not important, but….
I will never change it.
I can’t change it.
My eyes are the ones taking away what was once given to me! I cannot allow this as long as I am watching.
“hahahahaha! It’s a joke. “It’s funny because I can’t tell Siwoo’s reaction.”
“Is that so?”
I responded with a smile.
… Am I becoming a strange character?
Doksa Lee saw my expression and asked.
“That’s the end of why I called student Si-woo, but it looks like he still has some business for me to do?”
It’s scary.
Now comes the main topic.
What I want from Doksa Lee now is a letter of recommendation.
In order to be able to take Professor Kang Geom-seon’s classes, you need a letter of recommendation from Doksa Lee, his favorite student.
‘It was a little different from the plan, but it garnered enough attention from Doksa Lee.’
He smiled warmly.
“I have a favor to ask. “Instructor.”
“Oh, please… ? Just because I like Siwoo, I have no intention of giving him unfair help. “You know, right?”
She approached with a slightly lewd smile.
“Of course, if you’re asking me out on a date, I’ll think about it.”
… I guess I was wrong.
This person is not a true educator.
I guess they just have fun teasing students here and there.
“I know. “I just wanted to ask for a letter of recommendation.”
“A letter of recommendation?”
“I want to take Professor Kang Geom-seon’s class.”
When Professor Kang Geom-seon’s name was mentioned, Doksa Lee frowned a little.
“Why are you taking Professor Kang Geom-seon’s class?”
It would be better to be sincere rather than paying lip service.
“I’m doing it somehow, but I still need to train my body to match the skill book I’m lacking. Professor Kang Geom-seon is the best at wielding a sword, and I know that he can completely change people.”
The viper played with his lips as if he was thinking for a moment.
“If you are a Siwoo student, wouldn’t you be interested without me having to write a letter of recommendation?”
That can’t be possible.
“I know that Professor Kang Geom-seon thoroughly judges her based on her skill book. “I was afraid that no matter what I said, I would probably get cut from the document.”
At my words, Doksa Lee took out a piece of paper and began writing with a fountain pen.
“If it’s a request like this, I can grant it. “It may be anyone else, but if you are a Siwoo student, you will be qualified.”
She said that and held out a piece of paper to me.
[Recommendation letter
The above student is very outstanding……
Therefore, we ask for your convenience so that you can take the class.
Instructor Lee Doksa.]
The content written is a solid and standard letter of recommendation.
Why are you doing this again?
This is not it.
“I understand that Professor Kang Geom-seon does not accept letters of recommendation like this.”
Professor Kang Geom-seon doesn’t read anything unless it’s a three-line summary.
“You guessed it well. Do you really want to take Professor Geom-seon Kang’s class?”
What’s so funny about this snake?
She burst out laughing and continued her talk, waving a letter of recommendation.
“I’m sorry. Students who know that I am Professor Kang Geom-seon’s student sometimes come to me and ask for this. “If I knew Professor Kang Geom-seon’s personality, there would be no way he would accept such a letter of recommendation.”
She took the paper I was holding and crumpled it.
Then she took out a piece of paper and started writing in large letters.
“I think that student Kim Si-woo will really be able to persuade Professor Kang Geom-seon without my help. “It was just a joke.”
‘My life…. No, The fate of the world is at stake. ‘Don’t play around.’
“Now, take it.”
This is the letter of recommendation she once again presented.
[Recommendation letter.
1. High judgment
2. Good movement.
3. He’s a genius
Guaranteed by his beloved disciple Lee Doksa! Box.
You will definitely regret it if you do not receive it.]
…It’s true that I wanted something like this.
‘I guess this is really okay.’
I think he read my expression.
“I’m sure you will accept that.”
“Thank you.”
***
As a result, I received a letter of recommendation from the instructor at Lee Dok-sa that I wanted.
There is no need to talk about Baek Arin.
She achieved everything she set out to achieve with her first test.
“There’s a bonus too.”
There is an unexpected score of 11 points….
The unexpected harvest is of interest to the principal.
[Psyche’s Stone] Is one of the gifts that must be obtained someday.
Coincidentally, the location of Psyche’s Stone is inside the principal’s office.
‘Now that I’m enrolled and the first test is over, it’s still a long way off.’
Still, it will be a little easier because you have already stamped your eyes.
‘Still, I didn’t know that instructor Lee Doksa would be this interested in me.’
Doksa Lee is the instructor in charge of the A-1 class.
If this were income, it would be income.
I took out my cell phone from my pocket and looked at the time. It already said 5 o’clock.
“I guess I’ll have to go soon.”
To the dormitory full of my treasures.
***
“Ninety-five.”
Whoo!
“Ninety-six.”
The flame was constantly igniting in her hands.
A cruel training method that pushes oneself to the limit.
‘If it wasn’t fake….’
If it weren’t for this training, Kang Hwa-yeon felt like he couldn’t sleep.
If Pan Pagia’s appearance had not been due to training, she would have surely lost many lives.
Not the hero who defeated Panpagia.
I managed to subdue him by sacrificing more than 20 colleagues….
‘Isn’t that also true?’
Not only were there no heroes who defeated Panpagia, but dozens of people died.
Even when it came to subduing Panpagia, she wasn’t even the main character.
Obviously, Baek A-rin played a leading role in the subjugation.
‘Because I am like this…’ !’
Baek A-rin corrected her own ‘wrong’ method.
Baek A-rin took the lead.
She couldn’t admit it.
But she had no choice but to admit it, so she was pushing herself hard.
If things continue like this, she will never be able to reach her father.
It will be different from what my father expects.
“One hundred!”
Only then did Kang Hwa-yeon flop down on her floor.
“Ha…. Ha….”
Kang Hwa-yeon wiped away the sweat as if it was raining.
‘How did Arin know…? ?’
Of course, she knew that Baek Arin was ahead of her in terms of intelligence.
Because that was Baek Arin’s strength that she was proud of.
‘Anyway, Panpagia happened to appear in the first test? If….”
Baek Arin knew about her first test and used it to get her high score?
“No, it doesn’t make sense.”
Baek Arin scored lower than herself on her test.
‘There is no meaning in using it. Then why on earth….’
Kang Hwa-yeon couldn’t shake the feeling that her guess was fundamentally off somewhere.
‘Plus, the action was too big to be called Arin’s strategy.’
She has been with me for over 10 years.
That’s why Kang Hwa-yeon couldn’t have known.
Her methods were too different from Baek A-rin’s to say that she knew in advance.
“Is it really just a coincidence?”
Of course it can be.
However, it would be uneasy to dismiss it as a coincidence.
‘That’s not possible, but it’s more natural that Arin didn’t know anything.’
She was sighing at her complicated head.
A story that suddenly came to mind at that time.
– Baek A-rin, her younger sister, and Kim Si-woo were rescued at the above gate, and Kim Si-woo was the only one injured.
Whether she liked it or not, Kang Hwa-yeon heard about the clan’s incidents.
After this incident, she found it strange that Baek A-rin suddenly took interest in Kim Si-woo, but she thought it was just curiosity.
‘What if Arin really didn’t know?’
Even though he has information, he cannot use it, and is a person who is close to Baek Ah-rin other than himself.
“Kim Si-woo… ?”
Kim Si-woo’s face passes by for a moment.
“I was crazy…. “Why is he here?”
Kang Hwa-yeon tried to ignore her thoughts.
“I thought it was too complicated. Come to your senses, Ganghwa-yeon.”
The moment she scolded herself and was about to wipe her sweat and stand up.
With the sound of the door opening, her father Kang Young-ho came in.
“Father… ?”
“I heard about the academy. I defeated a B-class boss monster….”
“It was just training.”
“But subjugation means subjugation.”
“….”
Kang Hwa-yeon She wasn’t a ball herself, but she just couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
Awkward and long silence.
‘It must have already reached my father’s ears.’
Kang Hwa-yeon closed her eyes tightly.
But what you hear is something unexpected.
“… Good job.”
“Yes?”
Kang Young-ho said that and turned back.
‘Have you not heard the news properly from your father?’
That can’t be possible.
This is the meticulous Chairman Kang Young-ho.
“… “I guess I did well.”
How long has it been since I heard a compliment?
However, her excitement was soon overshadowed by her rising shame.
***
‘Gadong Dormitory’
Unbelievably shabby appearance.
A wooden building that looks like it might collapse at any moment.
Doesn’t fit my world view at all!
Perfect with horror!
This is my sweet home where I will live from now on.
Wait!
