Chapter 292 – Chapter 292 Magic School Shutra (2-27)
“Wait. Professor, this… The answer is… Do you think everything fits?”
Louise was taken aback by the line, looked at the owner of the voice, and immediately let out a sigh of relief.
He shook his head from side to side and began to fill his head with rude thoughts about Sonya.
‘Are you trying to help in this situation? Stupid….’
Louis had no feelings for the woman who had humiliated him, even though he had once had a crush on him.
She still instinctively looked at the body, but her heart had long since cooled.
‘What the hell is good about a guy living such a low-class life….’
In addition, seeing the way he showed affection to the person he hated so much, beyond cooling off, even hatred was rising.
Louis gave Sonya an unkind look, but did not open her mouth.
‘I wish I could go out with that idiot at this point.’
Even while they were constantly sending out disparaging remarks about Sonya, the professors gathered around Sonya and began to look over the problem.
Louis shook his head at such a figure and whispered so that only the Holy Guardian could be heard.
“Professor Sonya is also really mean. I’m talking to you of hope torture. Isn’t it?”
“Hey… Don’t speak carelessly.”
Louise started to feel better when Seong Soo-ho, who had been bluntly and casually listening to him, put on an annoyed expression for the first time.
Until now, provocations have always been Seong’s job.
The fact that he was the first to strike back gave Lewis an indescribable sense of happiness.
Cursing Luna was something she would never have imagined even as Louise, but she was confident that her gossip about Sonya would stretch her like a cobweb.
The moment she tried to pull out even more gossip, a buzz began from the side where her professors were gathered.
The reason why professors think Lewis and Seong Su-ho are amazing is because they showed that level of ability even though they were students.
If the professors spent more than 30 minutes on the written test, it was a big enough incident to become one of the humiliating incidents that will be talked about for the rest of their lives, ridiculed by those around them.
They solved all the problems within a few tens of seconds and started whispering.
(This….)
(Unless we went senile as a group….)
(Quickly tell the dean…)
Louis, sensing that the atmosphere was out of the ordinary, began to look toward the professors.
And finally, the professors opened their mouths as they took Lewis’ notes and handed them to the dean and head professor.
“That… Dean, the problem is….”
“Well?”
The dean and head professor began to go over the problem together.
No more than 10 seconds on a problem, I was checking the problem with a quick scan.
After checking the exam questions together, the dean started to laugh, and Magta began to look at Louis with a furrowed expression mixed with about 5% pathetic.
‘What? Why are you doing that?’
Louis only then sensed her strangeness and began to look at the note the dean was holding.
The dean, realizing how Louis was feeling right away, approached him and handed him the note.
“Let’s check it properly.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“I think you should try solving the test questions yourself?”
“No, the exam questions… Certainly… Exactly… I… Overnight….”
Louis, speechless, hurriedly took the note the dean was holding and began to look through it.
Even if it was a problem that the professors had solved in an instant, it took time to solve it mentally because Louis hadn’t accumulated that much experience yet.
However, that was the story at the level of professors.
Lewis was already mentally arithmetic at a speed unparalleled among his classmates, solving problems in a flash and flipping through notes.
The previous four questions were correct as he knew.
But after that, something strange happened.
Even though it was his handwriting, he began to feel alien as if he were solving a completely different problem.
And when he finally got the answer to the fifth question, Lewis started to hear ringing in the ears as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.
It was wrong.
It wasn’t the story of the answer Seong Soo-ho wrote down.
The answer he remembered was wrong.
“This can’t be like this!”
Lewis continued to solve the next problem, and the next one after another.
But they were all right and wrong.
Seong Soo-ho’s answers were all correct, and he proved that his answers were all false.
“Nope… I can’t do this….”
With the last question in front of him, Louis trembled and couldn’t muster the courage to read it all.
It was because he felt that if he made a mistake on even the most difficult problem, his school life would become hell beyond shame.
Louis, his pale face, trembled with his hands, and he did not solve the last problem, but stared intently at it.
The dean approached him and asked.
“How did you solve it?”
“Oh no! Moo, the problem is strange!”
“Heh heh heh, how strange is the problem?”
“Boo, sure… Someone… Stealthily… Changing the numbers….”
Haha….”
He shook his head and opened his mouth.
“This problem is obviously made by you. There is no sign of fixing the problem. And even if it was corrected in an elaborate way, how many corrections would it have made in this short time?”
“Yeah, but….”
Lewis turned his head and looked around the auditorium.
The huge crowd of students in the auditorium looked at Lewis and seemed to have a rough idea of what was going on.
(What is it? Why are you like that?)
(It’s not that Sung Soo-ho was wrong, it seems that Louis made the problem wrong.)
(Well, even if it was a modified version of the original problem, it wouldn’t have been as easy as a student’s level.)
(Because he looks like that, Louis looks like an ordinary student too.)
(The 2nd place must have been a bit crazy.)
Everyone had a good impression of Louis so far, so it wasn’t an atmosphere to criticize him greatly.
But to Louis’ ears, the students’ conversation sounded like a hellish rumble resounding throughout the fall of his own reputation.
(Awesome, then is it that Seong Soo-ho got a bit more right?)
(Aren’t they all right?)
(Ah, that’s ridiculous…. If it was a problem that Lewis made up for himself like that, it would have been fucking difficult.)
(You don’t know how many guesses yet. You’ll have to wait a little longer.)
Perhaps because of the atmosphere of sympathy with Lewis, everyone was hoping that even if Louis made a mistake, Seong Su-ho would be branded as a cheater.
The reason was simple.
The purpose was to increase their rank and to erase their sense of guilt.
At least, the students who had previously expressed a minority opinion came together again to defend Seong Su-ho.
(Yeah, stealing test papers like the dean said earlier is ridiculous.)
(That’s right. On top of that, how did you get first place?)
While everyone was agitated, the dean stepped forward and opened his mouth to the students.
“First of all, Seong Su-ho solved all of Louis’ problems perfectly. The answer was perfect, and this time cheating couldn’t even happen. Right, Student Lewis?”
“Ha, but… Certainly….”
Haha… And there is a part that the student overlooked.”
“… ?”
Everyone tilted their heads at the dean’s words, and the dean opened his mouth with a smile.
“As the students in the classroom I was supervising at the time would know, I kept observing Seong Su-ho from behind as he solved problems during the main attribute test.”
“… Yes?”
At Lewis’ question, the students started whispering as if they remembered now.
“Professor Magta, the original supervising professor, was absent due to unavoidable circumstances, so I took his place, and I heard that there was a student who said he was taking the exam so quickly, so I was curious and watched from the beginning to the end.”
“Ha, but! Poetry, something in practice….”
“The practice was the same.”
“… Yes?”
“I was curious at the time of the practical test, so I watched Seong Su-ho in the room taking the practical test.”
When the students heard that, they opened their mouths and began to stare blankly at Seong Su-ho and the dean.
It was a shocking thing for the students.
It is an important test that can lead a lifetime, and if the dean observed from behind, few students would be able to take it properly.
However, in such a situation, Seong Soo-ho took first place in practical skills.
The students listened to the dean’s words and began to talk noisily with each other.
And the contents of the conversation began to become gigantic as the opinions of the minority gradually swallowed up.
“Ha… Ha… Nonsense….”
One by one, each of them began to enter Louis’s despair-stained eyes.
Seongsuho and Luna.
The two of them obviously looked at him from a distance, but to Louis, the two of them began to form in his mind as a scene.
Louis slowly began to stagger as his legs gave out.
Professor Magta approached him and opened his mouth.
“Once the case is over, please follow me for a moment.”
“Huh… Yes….”
Louis’ heart was pounding like an urge to leave this place right away.
Students, professors, dean, Seong Su-ho, Sonya, and… Luna.
All of these people’s eyes were on him, and he felt like committing suicide if he could avoid these gazes.
A man tapped Louis on the shoulder as he tried to leave so quickly and stopped him.
As Louis turned around with a pale face, the man who had stopped him whispered quietly.
“Bet, I’ll look forward to it. No way… Aren’t you going to just pretend you don’t know?”
“This bastard….”
Shame, humiliation, disgrace, shame.
All the emotions I felt while watching Sung Soo-ho’s expression stimulated the blood vessels in his brain and started to encourage murder.
But he spoke, his family’s honour, keeping his spirits intact, and with all his might he refrained from his desire to kill.
“Me… Louis Brandrup…. A promise once made is never kept.”
“Good good. I’ll look forward to it.”
Crunchy….
Seeing Seongsuho’s flirtatious expression, Louis turned around while grinding his teeth.
Louis felt resentment and humiliation rushing in at the same time, and he unknowingly ran after Professor Magta with tears in his eyes.
***
‘Performance sure!’
[The idea was good.]
‘Because it must have been an incomprehensible situation except for his own mistakes.’
An aristocrat on the level of Louis must have clearly recognized his own handwriting, and he must have judged it to be his own mistake.
In the first place, professors are watching around, and there can be no crazy person to fix the problem.
‘But I’m that madman.’
I corrected Lewis’s problem using Enel without damaging the paper at all, and thanks to that, I was able to turn Lewis into a rare idiot.
However, the students who had been agitated until now were still speaking on the side of Lewis.
Above all, although Lewis was dragged along, he would not be easy to take a big reprimand.
It’s enough to say that he was ahead of the curve and represented the students.
‘Well, it would be nice if that level of spirit remained.’
I smiled heartily, anticipating what Louis would look like later.
The dean came up to me and smiled and gave me a pat on the shoulder.
“I suffered. Still, I’m really glad I cleared my doubts like this.”
“Thank you.”
The dean nodded at my thanks and went to the professors and began ordering them to disperse.
Like that, the students and professors in the auditorium left the auditorium to do their own thing, and before I knew it, only Luna and I were left in the auditorium.
With a bitter expression on her face, Luna approached me.
“….”
“….”
Luna said nothing to her, and neither did she say anything to me.
It was pitiful.
Luna was clearly trying to treat the bastard as a human being, even though Louis was obviously annoying her.
I have to make Luna someday completely abandon her bastard and choose me, so she even felt sorry for her.
If it wasn’t for me, maybe I wouldn’t be worrying about this.
“Sorry.”
“… What are you sorry about?”
Luna suddenly lifted her head at the words of my apology and sent her questioning eyes.
I told her with all my heart.
“If I didn’t show up… Honestly, you wouldn’t have suffered like this.”
“… I don’t know that, and I don’t like Suho.”
Luna let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth.
“If that is life, you have to accept it. Water and fire do not mix. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to make one of them non-existent.”
“….”
“And….”
Luna clasped her hand in mine and she let out a big sigh.
“Please don’t say that you didn’t show up. That is… It is the word that hurts the most.”
“… Okay.”
I squeezed Luna’s hand and kissed her softly on the lips.
