Chapter 279 – Chapter 279 Magic School Shutra (2-14)
“Sonya Friedrich.”
“… Yes.”
Sonya was concentrating on keeping her hands together in front of a professor and not showing even the slightest trembling to the other person.
She was nervous that even her hair might blow away.
Facing the nervous Sonya, the professor waved her hand down and opened her mouth.
“Don’t be too nervous. Anyone who sees it will know that you have committed a serious sin.”
“But because of me, the professor was harmed….”
Sonya asked the professor who was currently in front of her to go out in the process of fulfilling Lewis’ earnest request the day before.
And because of that request, the professor hasn’t been able to get off work until now because he’s looking for Louis.
However, the professor didn’t look very angry despite staying up all night.
“What is the damage… Anyway, it was left because of the test paper security issue. I called you because I was worried about you.”
“My concern… Are you talking?”
“Okay. It’s nice to be nice to students. That was the reason why I recommended you as an assistant professor.”
“….”
Her professor in front of Sonya was the one who recommended her to be her assistant professor.
Her professor, who had recommended Sonya to her, continued her remarks, observing her carefully.
“You need to be a little selfish.”
“Selfish….”
“Okay. What if you get stuck while helping one of the students?”
“Ho, by any chance an assistant professor….”
Sonya could feel her heart pounding in her uneasy mind.
But it didn’t happen that she was anxious.
“Will I use it if the promotion to assistant professor is nullified with just such a thing….”
“Whew….”
“Look at this. Isn’t your own future important too?”
The professor kept reminding her of her current situation, mixing her criticism with advice.
“Sonya Friedrich. Teaching her students, her caring heart is well understood. However, if you give affection to all the students like that, when a student who really wants to give affection appears, you will treat that student with an empty heart.”
“… I will keep that in mind.”
“I hope you understand. It’s test time soon. Let’s go.”
Sonya thought as she followed her professor.
‘I’m a student who wants to give affection….’
Sonya had been trying hard to give affection to all the students.
Even if she was an unlikable student, she gave her affection for the student’s future and burned her passion for education.
‘Education… If you think about it, why did I work so hard with such fire?’
Sonya hadn’t been this passionate from the start.
At first, she just focused on teaching her students, and she didn’t pay much attention to searching their students’ hearts.
But at one point, she taught her students with all her heart and soul, spending her own time, without questioning the act.
‘… Let’s keep her advice in mind as much as possible.’
Sonya thinks so, and she takes over as test supervisor and goes into the classroom with her professor.
In the classroom, her teaching assistants and many students began to stare at Sonya and her professor.
And one of the students caught Sonya’s eye.
‘Whoops…. I must have prepared well for the test.’
As soon as Sonya saw her holy guardian, she was smiling involuntarily.
Sonya, who hates the word favoritism, couldn’t help but react.
No matter how much she wanted to see all the students equally, it was a phenomenon that she couldn’t help but go to the man who finally satisfied her desire.
The professor went up to the podium in the classroom, and Sonya stood next to the professor and looked at the students.
The professor went up to the podium and started talking.
“I will explain the test method.”
It’s a story the professor tells every year, but he explained it in detail for the first time students.
Roughly summed up, the content was to refrain from acting unnecessarily suspicious, and to leave the room after handing over the test papers to students who have solved all the questions.
And once you leave, you can’t re-enter again.
“First, let’s look at basic attribution.”
At the same time as the professor spoke, the teaching assistants standing side by side began to distribute the test papers on the table in an orderly manner and put them on the students’ desks.
The students began to express tension with their facial expressions as they looked at the size and number of pages of the test papers.
The test paper boasted the amount of 15 sheets of paper the size of a poster.
Starting from the first test, which is said to be the least difficult, with this amount, the students began to harden their expressions in intimidation.
‘All the students taking the first exam look the same.’
Among the nervous students were Luna and Louis.
Compared to the other students, he maintained his composure, but he could not completely hide his tension.
‘As expected, student Luna is also nervous. And… Yes?’
Sonya fixed her gaze and checked once again the scene she was watching.
Sonya’s pupils contained the Holy Guardian.
But his look….
‘Oh….’
Sonya couldn’t take her eyes off Seong Su-ho, who had a calm and serious expression different from her young, playful appearance in front of her.
‘It was like that. But… He also has a manly side, so Luna would have liked it too.’
As Sonya waited with a wry smile, the professor next to her echoed her voice through the classroom, announcing the start of her exam.
“Okay, two hours from now. Open the test paper.”
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The sound of test papers unfolding all at once stirred the classroom and the exam began.
Sonya was right around her students, preparing for the unexpected.
The overriding goal is to prevent cheating.
It was a system in which the professor checked the front on the podium, and the rest of the staff walked around the classroom to prevent cheating.
Sonya casually walked behind the students and checked her exam papers.
‘These are really well-balanced issues. I always think about it, but the dean is amazing.’
Sonya looked back at her students and glanced over her test questions, and she passed Luna’s seat as she checked her test papers.
Luna was solving problems as she wrote neatly enough to calm the viewer’s mind.
‘Like her personality, she’s really meticulous. For other students, it would be time consuming, but since Luna writes things down quickly, she won’t run out of time at all.’
Sonya checked her Luna’s condition and moved again, relieved, and she just happened to pass Louis’s seat.
Compared to Luna’s, Lewis’s test paper didn’t have much writing on it.
However….
‘… Awesome. Am I going to turn over unnecessary calculations to mental arithmetic?’
Looking at her Louise, even Sonya, who could not give a good evaluation as a human being, could not help but appreciate her Louise as a student.
At first glance, it was because not only the solution process but also the speed were extraordinary.
‘… Louis will be the first to hand in the exam papers.’
Sonya judged that she would never see a student who was faster than Lewis.
It was because Sonya herself had never seen a student who could solve such a skillful problem while going to Stra.
Including myself….
Lewis’s knowledge was still at the level of a student, but it was safe to say that the level of application was that of a professor.
Sonya moved her feet again and looked through the other students’ test papers.
Even though everyone had only passed two or three test papers, they started to fall into countless troubles while tearing her hair or nails.
‘Well, that’s normal….’
As she thought so, the student she had been expecting began to appear in her eyes.
She didn’t have high expectations.
From Sonya’s point of view, his magical skills were mediocre.
The reason I wanted to see his test papers now was because I was curious.
‘Well… Yes?’
Sonya rubbed her eyes, wondering if there was something wrong, then checked again.
Seong Soo-ho’s test papers were clean, and he kept turning over the test papers to check the questions without thinking about solving them.
Even the easiest questions on the first page of the test paper were not touched.
‘Are you going through the exam papers? No, you don’t have to waste your time….’
Sonya forgot her position as her test supervisor and began to worry about him behind the Seongsuho with a selfish expression.
However, Sonya’s concerns were not put to shame, and Seong Soo-ho did not touch the pen at all on the test paper.
‘Is it because it’s really difficult? I really didn’t learn while on suspension… ?’
Sonya started to worry about Seongsu-ho the same way she worried about her own future, even though it wasn’t her own test.
However, apart from her concern, she was unable to continue spying on a student.
‘Ha… Let’s look around and then come back.’
Sonya let out a sigh inwardly and began to take her steps again.
And not long after she took her steps, the sound of the tip of her pen cutting through paper and the sound of paper fluttering came from behind her.
Crunchy…. Crunchy….
Sonya was able to let out a sigh of relief as she heard the nib screeching behind her.
‘Yeah, there’s no way I can’t solve it. I was worrying for nothing.’
Sonya smiled and returned to focus on her supervision.
She went around like that and looked at the exam papers of various students, but in the meantime, she deliberately did not turn her feet toward Seongsu Lake.
It was because, apart from her curiosity, Sonya was worried that Seongsu-ho wouldn’t be able to pay attention to her gaze.
The test went smoothly, and about 40 minutes passed before I knew it.
Sasak… Sasasac… Sasasasak.
With only the sound of the fountain pen torturing the paper, the sound of scraping marble tore through the room began to reverberate through the room.
Awesome!
“… ?”
Not only the professor on the podium, but everyone in the classroom turned their heads toward the fricative sound.
And that gaze included Luna, Sonya, and Louis.
There was one student who was the only one who was looking elsewhere.
“Student? Did you finish the test?”
“Yes.”
“….”
It was Seongsuho.
Seong Soo-ho held up the test paper and made an expression asking what to do, and the professor looked at Sonya with a blunt nod.
“Professor Sonya. Please collect the test papers at the entrance from now on.”
“Yes….”
Sonya made her way to the entrance of the classroom, looking at her Seongsu-ho with a worried expression.
And Sung Soo-ho follows her.
As soon as Sonya stood at the entrance of the classroom, she quietly opened her mouth to Seong Soo-ho so that others could not hear.
“… Did you do your best?”
“Yes, even if I took the main attribute test, I thought I couldn’t do my best.”
After saying that, Seong Soo-ho smiled and whispered softly in Sonya’s ear.
“It’s nothing else, it’s a subject taught by Professor Sonya, so I wanted to solve it faster than others.”
“… Whoops.”
Sonya smiled as she saw her usual immature Seongsu-ho.
That was the moment she accepted his test paper.
Awesome!
“… ?”
It was the moment the second person got up from his seat.
No matter how easy the original test was, it was rare for a student to get up an hour before.
Even more so, when things did happen, most of them were when I was not feeling well and left the lecture room being supported by another teaching assistant.
Sonya said she had never seen a student come out with all the problems she had before an hour before.
But today I saw two of them.
Louise, without asking the professor, came straight to the entrance of the classroom and handed Sonya her exam paper.
“Here, everything is solved.”
“… Thanks for your work.”
Sonya tidied up Louis’ test papers and put them on the podium like Seong Su-ho’s test papers.
However, the mere act of putting the test paper on the podium started to complain to Sonya, as if Louise was uncomfortable.
“Professor Sonya…. Anyway, I don’t think you need to take care of this guy’s test papers, do you?”
“… What do you mean?”
Lewis continued to disparage him even though Seongsu-ho stood by him.
“If you haven’t studied, you should do your best even for the test, but I don’t think you need to take the test papers from a guy who gives up just because a problem can’t be solved.”
“Lewis student… Now that statement….”
Sonya showed a displeasure that was incomparable to when Luis molested her, and forgot that she was in the middle of a test, and she was about to lash out at him.
Looking at Louis like that, Sung Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders and said.
“He speaks fluently despite being slow.”
“This bastard….”
It was the moment Louis was caught in a small provocation by the Holy Guardian and tried to threaten him.
“Students there. When the exam is over, leave quickly.”
“Ugh… Yes.”
Louis looked at Sung Soo-ho and sneered at the professor who gave him a penalty point and scolded him for going out.
“After all, the results will come out after the exam. Until then, keep bluffing to your heart’s content.”
After saying that, Lewis left the classroom.
After seeing Louis like that, Sonya spoke to Seong Soo-ho affectionately.
“I had a hard time with the test. Do your best for the next exam.”
“Thank you.”
Sung Soo-ho smiled and left the classroom.
Looking at Seongsuho, Sonya pondered his test papers.
‘… Should I check it out?’
There was no reason why it would be a big problem for an adjunct professor who was walking the exam papers to read the contents.
Sonya slowly lifted Seongsuho’s test paper and she began to carefully look through it.
..
..
Half of the students were missing in the classroom before I knew it, and Sonya greeted one of the students while receiving her test paper.
“Did you see?”
Luna answered Sonya in her slightly limp voice.
“Yes….”
“… ? I’m not too energetic for what I’ve seen. Are you feeling unwell?”
“That is….”
Only then was Luna able to tell Sonya about the bet between Seongsuho and Louise.
She was also worried about the fact that she was just betting, but she said that she was constantly worried about Seong Soo-ho, who passed the exam quickly and left.
Then Luna pondered over Sonya and she started asking a question.
“Professor Sonya… Excuse me for saying this, but you saw Suho’s test paper earlier, right? How is it?”
“Well… That….”
Sonya noticed the assistants tidying up her classroom and the professor on the podium, then she put her mouth in Luna’s ear and whispered.
“Go ahead and ask.”
“… Yes?”
“Ruler… Go. Wouldn’t it be best to ask yourself?”
“That… Yes….”
Sonya tapped her Luna on the shoulder and guided her carefully out of her classroom.
Sonya thought to herself as she watched her Luna walk out of the classroom like that.
‘I’m envious. Really… I envy you….’
Sonya held her Luna’s test paper and stared at the classroom door with a bitter expression.
