Chapter 290 – Chapter 290 Magic School Shutra (2-25)
‘Whoa… I really need to develop my stamina.’
All the way to the restaurant to eat breakfast, I casually held onto my waist and walked.
[Did you not recover?]
‘No, I’m not sick…. Do I have to say that a combination of factors worked?’
[… ?]
I had a feeling of phantom pain, as if the pain I felt for a while yesterday was still there.
Up until now, I had never thought of lifting Luna as difficult at all.
However, when I overworked my back and lower body in that position, I could see how crazy the field trip was.
It was a moment when I could confirm that I lost my sense of reality after seeing it only through games every day.
‘I’ll have to practice a lot when I’m with Cho Seo-hyun later.’
I’ll have to ask Cho Seo-hyun, the best heroine, as my field practice partner….
Now that I think about it, what kind of expression would you make if I asked you to go out, even though you haven’t experienced it for a while….
I’m curious!
I also smiled and headed to the restaurant, and on the way to the restaurant I could see a group of men.
We meet early in the morning and chat diligently.
The moment he passed by, he glanced at me and started saying my name.
“Is that Seong Soo-ho?”
“Yes, first place in practical skills….”
“Is that real?”
What is ‘that’, you motherfuckers?
I wondered what it was, but I was already overdoing it and I cut my nerves and headed to the restaurant.
But they weren’t the only strange group.
The group of girls I met next, and the group of boys I met next, some of them glanced at me and mentioned my name.
The problem is that I don’t know what you’re talking about….
‘Is it because he became famous by winning first place?’
It’s nice to see you paying attention, but I thought it would be burdensome to see you like that every day.
‘It will be resolved on its own after summer vacation.’
Thinking so, as soon as I arrived at the restaurant, Armonia asked me via communication.
[Suho, but why didn’t you come back right away?]
‘Ah….’
I was going to come back right away after flirting with Luna yesterday, but she took Luna and unknowingly lay down on her bed and went to sleep right away.
Why didn’t I return to the ship right away.
That’s right….
“Good morning?”
“….”
It was to go after Louis to his heart’s content.
I saw her pacing at the entrance of the restaurant as if waiting for someone, and I immediately tapped her on the shoulder and asked him.
“What do you think? Did you do well on the test?”
“… Huh.”
‘… The reaction is lukewarm than I thought?’
In fact, I hadn’t come back because I wanted to see what I was now and see Louise, her face flushed red, going on a rampage.
But Louis calmly glared at me and snorted, but she didn’t show any anger.
If this is the case, there is no reason for me to delay my comeback….
I wish Louis would be angry enough to cause her alopecia areata….
I asked Louis again.
“Hey, did you do well on the test? Aha. Are you already treating me like a noble? Do nobles always have fun and talk?”
“This bastard….”
As the bet story came out, at least some reactions started to come up.
Since he is such a proud guy, strange words came out of his mouth the moment he tried to bully him before eating, thinking that he would not be able to stand it if he kept bullying him.
“A piece of trash.”
“… ?”
“Are you doing well on the test with cheating and then campaigning like that? Aren’t you ashamed?”
At Lewis’ words, along with the students at the entrance of the cafeteria, the students inside rushed in and began to watch.
I asked with a puzzled expression.
“What? Cheating?”
“Yeah, don’t you know it’s spread all over the school? You guys are already famous for stealing exam questions and getting first place?”
Haha….”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
But I could look around and guess how serious the situation was.
“You must have stolen the test papers, right?”
“I was suspended, but other than that I couldn’t understand….”
“Isn’t it the original style to be good at studying? You see, I was studying late at the library.”
“What did we play?”
I occasionally saw students representing my position, but it was only a minority.
Rumors rushing like a raging wave quickly swallowed up the opinions of the minority and began to wander around the school like the truth.
‘I have nothing to say because it’s real.’
[….]
In fact, I had no words to say that it was the truth that I got first place by stealing the real test papers.
But in this situation, I couldn’t just let it go.
If I really tell you not to talk nonsense here and get over it, Lewis will use this rumor as an excuse to make a bet.
During the summer vacation, I planned to go to the Louis family and pamper myself, but things went wrong.
‘It’s a bet I won, but I can’t just go over it.’
I asked Louis calmly.
“By the way, what proof is there that I stole the test questions?”
“Need confirmation? Shouldn’t you just turn yourself in if your grades don’t match your skills?”
Louis was blowing words out of his mouth as if he was stamping out my cheating.
“Shouldn’t it end with a suspension if I surrender now? I heard that if you get caught, it doesn’t end with expulsion. You have to surrender if you want to save your life.”
Haha….”
I was struggling to somehow make my cheating the norm.
‘What should I do….’
While I was thinking about how to overcome this difficulty, I heard a clear female voice from behind.
“What are you all doing here?”
It was three elderly professors who squeezed through the round group of students.
And the professor with a clear voice was the old woman in the middle of the three.
“What are you doing at the entrance to the restaurant?”
“Ah… That is.”
As I was about to open my mouth, scratching my temples with my fingers, Louis made a save first.
“Now I have something to tell you about this guy’s cheating.”
“Cheating?”
Not only the old woman professor, but also the professors next to me began to look at me, raising their eyes at the word cheating.
‘It’s bothering me….’
***
The response was much hotter than expected.
Most of the professors tried to pass it off as nonsense, but the rumors that went up and down among more students than expected spread out of control.
Lewis was called to the professor and they had a talk.
Lewis’s words were simple.
The situation pushed beyond suspicion, saying that Sung Soo-ho’s cheating should be regarded as confirmed.
Even the professors were ridiculous at Lewis’ words, but it was hard to pass them off easily.
If only Lewis had guessed, he would have just passed it off as a madman, but it was because many students had similar thoughts.
Looking at Louis like that, the old woman professor opened her mouth.
“As you say, let’s say that student cheated. Wouldn’t that be proof?”
“That….”
Lewis also mumbled, unable to answer the evidence.
He simply had to prioritize making the bet void.
“Then are you doing this without any proof?”
“There is no evidence. However… We have a way to prove it.”
“How to prove it?”
Lewis carefully suggested to Professor Magta a way to verify Sung Soo-ho’s cheating.
However, as soon as Professor Magta heard him, he screamed loudly.
“Nonsense!”
“But only that way….”
“Do you know how absurd the student just said is? What qualifications do students have….”
The professors who were listening to Professor Magta’s cry began to whisper quietly.
“It’s embarrassing.”
“I see, the students outside seem more agitated than I thought….”
Professor Magta listened to the voices of the professors next to him, then closed his eyes and began to think.
No matter how much suspicion there was of cheating, the test was already over.
In such a situation, it was a big problem to turn a student who won first prize into a cheater out of vain suspicion.
More than anything, I decided that if I fumbled through this tumultuous situation, it would create a bigger headache as summer vacation progressed.
‘If that student didn’t really cheat, it would be difficult for the school if rumors continued to spread like this.’
When a first-place student returned from summer break, she decided that if she was already branded as a cheater at school, it wouldn’t do her good for the school and the student’s image.
Looking at Professor Magta’s expression like that, Louis started to smile.
‘Sung Soo-ho… Don’t you know that you didn’t take the test the normal way? Let’s see.’
..
..
“Because I was put in such a situation, I called in to hear the student’s thoughts.”
“Ah….”
Professor Magta immediately called Seong Soo-ho and began to explain her situation.
I understand that the student’s position is difficult, but it was said that it could become more difficult if it was passed on as it is.
Professor Magta was too stupid to say what she was saying, so she couldn’t force it on the students.
“Of course, students also have the right to refuse. It’s not like I’m forced to do it.”
“Well… If you think about it, it’s a reasonable doubt.”
“Then what will you do?”
“Can you tell me how to solve it?”
Professor Magta nodded and said.
“Among the students who expressed their dissatisfaction with the students earlier, the student who represented them was confidently creating a problem.”
“You mean to solve it?”
“Right. To be honest, we don’t really like the situation where students evaluate students.”
At least, Lewis was able to drive it this far by demonstrating his second-place skill.
If he had been a student below 5th place, let alone 2nd place, he would have been on the penalty line.
‘It’s really ambiguous…. Really, this student may have cheated, but it seems that the student is slandering him because of the ranking problem….’
If Magta had not been a suspended student, Seongsu-ho would not have been easily swayed by these problems.
However, it was difficult for Magta to accept the fact that a student who had been suspended for a month had placed 3rd in writing and 1st in practical skills as soon as she returned.
Seong Soo-ho started asking Magta with a puzzled expression.
“If it’s not rude… Wouldn’t it be more persuasive if the professors gave us problems?”
Seong Soo-ho’s words made sense.
As Professor Magta said, it was ridiculous for students to evaluate students, and I was sure that if the professor raised a problem, everyone would shut up on their own.
“Student… You said you were acquainted with Professor Sonya?”
“Uh… Yes.”
Seong Su-ho was taken aback when the name of the strange person suddenly came up, and the professor said with a puzzled expression.
“It’s really funny for me to say this, but the student who came as the representative said it. It’s like taking advantage of their friendship to secretly leak test papers.”
“No! Never!”
Seong Soo-ho forgot the situation in front of the professor and jumped up to protest, but Magta immediately shook his hand and spoke.
“I know. We never think so either. In the first place, adjunct professors have nothing to do with exam papers or problem solving.”
“Ah… It’s such an absurd word. I was angry for a moment. Sorry.”
“It’s okay. First… What can I do?”
Sung Soo-ho nodded his head and smiled briefly raising the corner of his mouth.
“I will accept it even if it is to keep the school from harm.”
