Chapter 142 – #37_Genius Girl Point of View
One.
My name is Maria Kim.
He is a mediocre student who attends the Cheonsang-gye re-study academy.
She got this name because of her parents her, who were devout Catholics.
It’s a little regretful that she has to spend her elementary, middle, and high school life, being called Kim Mal, a dishonorable nickname, but I don’t really care.
Anyway, this is the name my parents left behind, so I don’t think about changing my name for that reason alone.
I didn’t have a university as my goal, but I ended up living this disgusting life again because I overslept on the day of the entrance exam.
She honestly didn’t care if she didn’t have to go to college.
People who say they can’t live without a college degree are all because they lack their own abilities.
If there is an overwhelming difference in ability in any field, who will bite with only a degree?
But there is an undeniable truth.
College life is a very valuable experience.
It was something that could only be experienced once in a lifetime, so it was worth trying, regardless of utility.
So, I decided to prepare for another exam.
I made that decision, but there was no burden of having to take the SAT again.
It’s obvious that it’s a problem for high school students anyway.
I was confident that I would get a perfect score like any other mock test if I went back to the past problems for about a week.
It’s hard to say for yourself, but even if you look at it like this, you’re a genius among geniuses.
Difficulties in academics were forever distant from me.
I came to this academy with a scholarship.
Is it just a scholarship to re-study academy? I think it might sound bizarre.
Jaesu Academy is a private facility that pursues profit, but it is a scholarship.
The answer can be found not far away.
Students are evaluated on their performance during the year through a test called the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).
Then, what is the grade of 1 year in Jaesu Academy?
The correct answer is the number of students sent to prestigious universities.
The higher the ratio, the higher the parents’ evaluation will be, and it fits the academy’s position of pursuing profit.
For that reason, I was exempted from tuition for 10 months on the condition that I get good grades to enter Seoul National University.
Needless to say, the mock test record, in which I never got a single question wrong, proved my skills.
There was a condition that if you failed the entrance exam, you had to pay 50% personally, but there was no thought of such a mistake and there was no possibility of realization, so it is as good as nonexistent.
Conversely, as an academy, it would be advantageous if it produced at least one more Seoul National University student, and in my case, there was nothing to lose, probably because I knew that it was a related university as long as there was no natural disaster.
Anyway.
I thought this was part of the good experience.
Life is long and what you can experience is limited.
If I had gone to college as it was, the experience of being a student at Jaesu Academy would have had no connection with my life.
Craving and curiosity for various experiences, and a broken pamphlet I accidentally saw led me to this prison without bars.
However.
It was boring.
Not kidding, it was really, really, really, really boring.
I entered the academy with excitement since January.
Still, I was a fool to expect something different from school.
Tight control of going to and from school, forced study time, and temple-like atmosphere made it so uncomfortable that the breakfast I ate was on top of it.
However, studying for more than ten hours is a waste of energy.
I didn’t want to make eye contact with a problem where I could memorize the answer with just a little thought.
Reluctantly, she opened the book.
Reading has been a favorite since childhood.
It was my cherished hobby to read many, many thick hardcover books until I collapsed from exhaustion.
Reading calms the mind.
I used to feel an intellectual orgasm when my fingertips rustled through the delicate, thick pages of a book.
I’ve never actually experienced an orgasm, so that’s all I can say.
But if you just want to read a book, a beanbag sofa at home is enough.
A bean bag sofa with a soft back and hip support will support my back until I fall asleep while reading a book.
When I thought so, my enjoyable reading time turned into a boring time.
Around that time, I made up my mind.
Let’s stop doing this stupid thing.
I decided to undo my very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very rarely, wrong choice.
Of course, the academy stopped me.
Even if I failed the SAT because I overslept, I think that I would not have been able to send out the ace, who had the best grades in the two in-house exams, as well as receiving perfect scores in mock tests throughout high school .
“Then, why don’t you seek counseling from a counselor?”
“No matter what, my heart won’t change. I’ve been thinking about it for the past month. We plan to return the academy fees that were reduced in advance according to the academy refund procedure.”
“Yeah, that’s because our academy also has rules. Unless there are unavoidable circumstances or unexpected mishaps, the rule is to go out after receiving discharge counseling.”
In the first place, the director, who had never seen him properly at the academy, averted his eyes while sweating profusely.
No matter how I looked at it, I didn’t want to talk anymore because I thought it was nothing more than passing on an embarrassing problem.
“Are you talking about Mr. Yuchan?”
“Yes, yes, I will be free at the moment, so go. I’ll call you.”
“All right.”
Just before closing the door, I heard the director’s sigh.
I don’t think I’m being too strict about it, but I think that expressing one’s opinion clearly should be done regardless of age.
In any case, the Korean culture of judging superiors and inferiors based on age to the extent of being uncomfortable is bizarre and unreasonable.
“Oh! I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
As I was leaving the door of the director’s office, someone bumped into my shoulder.
A schoolgirl with her long pigtails hanging down to her chest and her gold-rimmed glasses.
She says that maybe she is Choi Na-ye.
She rarely remembers her name because she is a student with large breasts despite her sleazy appearance of her.
He was also a student who immersed himself in his studies without a sound of pain in this stuffy space.
Choi Na-ye, who bowed her head and apologized, often walked away to ask teacher Min-jeong a question.
She looked at her breasts for no reason.
It’s just a lump of fat anyway.
As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity and becomes saggy.
Absolutely not resentful
2.
Counselor teacher.
So, Yu-chan.
In the academy, the counselor, usually called Teacher Yuchan, was quite a celebrity in this narrow and boring academy.
In an academy full of older and experienced teachers, he is the only young male teacher and at the same time has a good-looking face and a good body, so it’s understandable.
Her leisurely attitude of her and her mysterious charm of her, which seems to spread that atmosphere around, were enough to make many female students fans.
It seems that he has heard that counseling is also very excellent, and many female students who want to confess to him after the CSAT are finished.
Hearing this, it would seem that I am also his ardent follower, but I was just telling the truth.
I really had no interest in him.
It could be because he didn’t have much interest in the academy itself, or because he thought it was not intelligent to evaluate people by looking at their faces.
A man must have built an unshakable intellect with knowledge and wisdom, and must have a deep-rooted trustworthiness with innate smartness and honed learning.
From here on out, it’s an outrageous speculation, but in that respect, Teacher Yoo-chan was a failing grade.
How much knowledge would a counselor in a jaesu academy, not a professional center, build up?
It is right to praise young students who do not think even if they talk about superficial things as excellent counselors.
I will not deny that some malicious emotions were put into the evaluation.
I hated everyone who thought they were great.
Except for me.
Still, he had the ability to separate his personal feelings from dealing with public issues.
I was thinking of ending this consultation very quickly with only the main topic.
So, it means that I did not intend to refute his persuasion his or use it as an excuse to insult him.
When I gently twisted the wooden door open, I saw Mr. Yuchan drinking coffee.
The counseling room was colder than the rest of the academy.
It was noticeable that the heater temperature was set low.
He frowned as if he was lost in thought while reading a book, and he didn’t even know I had entered the counseling room.
Looking at the wall to the left, various books are lined up.
It’s not like a novel, but each of them was quite difficult.
It was a little surprising.
I must have had the prejudice that handsome men are lighthearted.
“Sir, I’m here for counseling.”
There was no sign of looking back, so he pretended to be popular.
As much as I hate interrupting someone when I read, I thought I’d wait a bit, but it’s too late to notice.
“Oops, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here Did you say counseling? I’ll serve you coffee, so sit down.”
He waved his hand as if he had no face, and he smiled kindly.
It was a smile that must have enchanted many female students.
Maybe I didn’t like the way he lured so many younger students into an older subject.
Even if there is no intention, unpleasant is unpleasant.
At this point when I decided to leave the academy, every minute and every second I was here was a waste.
“No, that’s all right. I’ll be leaving soon anyway.”
“Okay?”
His relaxed reaction His was something precious, so I tried to portray a 20-year-old female student without any quirks.
Even so, he sits down on the sofa across from him without batting an eye.
I couldn’t help admitting that it was an adult response.
“So, what’s the problem? It’s because I haven’t heard the exact story from the director.”
“It’s nothing. I want to leave the academy.”
“Then you are the first discharge counselor of the year. Is it okay if I ask your name first? I need to write a consultation log.”
Putting down the coffee he was drinking and inserting the paper into the settlement board, he clicked the fan and said.
It was a consultation book, so it wasn’t very pleasant that my personal information was left as a record.
Even if it’s a school that will soon disappear.
“No matter how the teacher persuades me, the result of leaving the academy will not change. Do you need something like that?”
“I am not trying to convince you to go to the academy. If there is a problem, I want to listen and if I can help, I want to help. So don’t be so resentful. Don’t worry, only I can see the records.”
Ohh.
At this point, I had to admit a little bit.
I guess I was underestimating him too much.
Maintain composure and placate with soft words in the face of a client’s attitude that would be sufficiently unpleasant.
It was an attitude befitting a counselor.
“I’m Maria Kim.”
“Okay, then would it be okay if I call you Miss Maria?”
“Call me whatever is convenient for you.”
“Yes, Miss Maria, why do you want to quit the academy?”
“Because it’s no fun.”
As far as studying for the CSAT, I have nothing to learn here.
It is a problem that requires only simple memorization and reading comprehension, but I wonder how to be so confused.
“Fun?”
“Actually, coming here was part of the fun. It was all about experiencing life at least once in a place I didn’t think had anything to do with me, like a prison. My conclusion is that there is nothing I can gain from this academy. Can we go now?”
“Sit down for a minute. Don’t be in too much of a hurry.”
Instead of a displeased expression, he gave a puzzled smile and scratched his eyebrows.
To be honest, I was a little surprised at this time.
Rude communication was one of the ways I shook off uncomfortable adults to solve a nuisance.
Most adults want to be respected and treated just because I am a student.
To stimulate their emotions by revealing a spoiled attitude to them, and to keep their own dignity by expelling the disobedient student and cutting off the conversation.
It will leave some sediment, but it is the fastest and most convenient method, so I have used it often.
No matter how much you try to hide your agitation, it will always show on your face.
Yes, for example, the corners of the mouth go down, the eyes tremble, the body movements increase and the ears, nose, mouth, etc. Are touched.
Emotions are always expressed outwardly unless they are trained professionally.
But he didn’t look uncomfortable or angry at all.
“What do you like the most about the academy?”
“Well, the biggest downside is that it’s boring and uninteresting. And in fact, all the students here are dropouts who have experienced failure, right? I can’t even make friends because I look stupid and I don’t deserve it. Ah! And the teachers don’t seem to be teaching very well…”
“Stop, stop.”
Yeah I knew it
As I continued to complain, forcefully, and complain like a shotgun, he raised his hand to stop me.
Just when I was thinking, “Let it go soon,” He said something completely unexpected.
Maybe then
I must have been interested in him for the first time.
