Chapter 241 – Chapter 241. Become a Scholarship Student
I was surprised to see the screenshot Yoon-kyung showed on her smartphone and asked Yoon-kyung back.
“Is this really true?”
The actual test is on March 28th, and what I recently took was a mock test conducted at a large academy.
When I think of that time, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I had a hard time in an empty classroom with Park Ye-ri, who approached me after the mock test, but I originally went to see the actual mock test anyway.
Even if it was the mock test scores, the seats in the library for scholarship students provided by large academies and scholarships were at stake.
My grades there were far superior to what I thought.
Yun-kyung smiled at me in the seat next to me and told me.
“Sure~. Oh, oppa, didn’t you know?”
Normally, it is normal for everyone to get up and go home, but when Yoon-gyeong seemed to show me something, the study members did not leave their seats even after they got up and came to Yoon-gyeong.
Other study members gathered around and talked.
“What is it?”
“Show me some~.”
Other study members gathered around me and Yoon-kyung, and I looked at the photo file Yoon-kyung showed me with them.
The picture Yoon-kyung showed her was a piece of paper that looked like an announcement stuck on a bulletin board going up from the 1st to the 2nd floor of a large academy.
It seemed to have been superimposed on top of the previous announcements, but behind that paper, there were several other sheets of paper, giving it a slightly thick feel.
And, there was none other than my rank number stamped there.
It seems that the school announced it.
According to it, my mock test score was no different than 3rd place.
‘Wow, that’s great. Did I rank third in the mock exam?’
For a little over three months, I felt rewarded for reviewing the lessons from last year and the year before last, re-reading and solving problems.
The academy mock test usually held by the academy is still a test at the academy, and the practical mock test I saw had to go to the school set by the academy, so of course not that many people participated.
However, I was able to see that it was an index that could be judged positively about one’s own learning performance.
Actually, I thought it would be nice to become a scholarship student at an academy, but the odds of becoming one were low.
While I was working part-time and earning money, I took a break from studying, so I thought that even though I had the skills I had before that, I felt that I was lacking a lot because it was my third year.
Even if you are a low-level chin-up scholarship student, you can enter the self-study room for scholarship students provided by the academy, so it is true that I took the test with some expectation, but I thought the possibility was not high, so I did not expect to become such an advanced scholarship student.
Even if there were only a few hundred people, it was such a high-ranking scholarship student. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the screen Yoon-gyeong showed me once again, so I enlarged it and watched it again.
“Yoon Kyung-ah, is this the result of this test?”
“Yes.”
After Yun-kyung answered, he told me.
“Your brother is so cool. You worked so hard, this is enough to really pass this year.”
“Ah.”
I was still bewildered while answering Yoon-kyung’s words.
Yoon-kyung asked me again.
“Isn’t there a text message from the academy? Isn’t this usually announced?”
“Maybe.”
I was about to come to my senses and take out my smartphone to check incoming text messages, but then I gave up.
‘It’s close to the academy, so I’ll have to go to the desk myself.’
Bonamanna, my inbox would have been flooded with text messages from beauties.
Now that the times have changed, no matter how much you block things like investment, spam text messages are constantly coming in, and even such spam text messages are buried in the huge amount of text messages sent to women.
It’s hard to show Yoon-kyung a cell phone in that state, so I stopped picking up the smartphone.
If it was true that Yoon-kyung took the picture anyway, I thought I would have to go to the academy desk to get information about the study room for scholarship students and receive a scholarship.
All the other study members who checked the photo files with me were as surprised as I was.
In particular, Eunhee and Hyena noonas were surprised and spoke first.
“Wow~, Jinhyeok-ah, it’s really jackpot~, 3rd place? Still, a few hundred people didn’t even take that test~!”
“How can it be. What if you have such a good-looking face and study well?”
The words of congratulations, of course, felt good.
And usually, there were many cases where women who didn’t know me well thought that I would be a daydreamer building a wall from the time I was born.
For some reason, there is a prejudice that good-looking men don’t wear their hair and drink and play all the time…
Ah, it is true that I spent a lot of time in my busy life drinking and playing.
But even though I played when I was drinking, it wasn’t the best, but there were quite a few times when I wasn’t playing, but I still tried to focus on my own and try to do something.
‘Still, with my current skills, this grade is undeserved.’
As I came to my senses, I made up my mind again.
I thought that I would not be vigilant for the rest of the days and would devote myself to learning until the end.
And I thought about the awards that third-class scholarship students receive.
‘If you were in 3rd place, you would get a scholarship student’s individual seat, a 2-month final lecture ticket, and a scholarship of 500,000 won.’
What I liked the most was getting a scholarship student’s individual seat.
Of course, the 500,000 won scholarship felt good to me because it was free money coming in out of nowhere.
However, it is difficult to see that money is such a big influence anyway.
And in the case of a 2-month final lecture, I have no intention of using it.
The reason is that in most exams, when preparing for the end of the exam, rather than listening to lectures, I have the time to sort things out by myself, and I am the type to remember the contents I have learned so far better in my head.
Anyway, since I was able to get a scholarship student’s individual seat in the end, I could see that I had achieved the purpose of the last mock exam.
No matter what I do, I think that if I work with a long-term goal, the sharp edge of my concentration may become a little dull in the middle of the way to that goal.
A few meaningful changes along the way to such dullness would make the path to the goal more efficient.
That’s why I thought that the scholarship student’s individual seat had the most merit rather than money and lectures.
‘Come to think of it, is it from this week?’
Since the 2-month final lecture ticket was also available in person, I thought I could sell it appropriately, and I thought I could go to the academy desk, tell me the account to deposit the scholarship to, and then be guided to the scholarship student’s individual seat.
When I saw the picture Yun-kyung showed me and I was thinking about that, Ho-chang, who saw the picture, started talking to me.
“Jinhyuk~.”
Hochang continued to speak while wearing a mask.
“Then shouldn’t we shoot one shot? Haha! Since we received a scholarship, let’s shoot the studymates coolly!”
Hochang said so.
The appearance of Ho-chang, who refused to give me a mask and said that he had to shoot me, could have been antinomic.
However, I thought it would be a good thing for me to shoot happily on a happy day as all the study members are struggling together.
‘It looks like everyone hasn’t eaten breakfast anyway, so it’d be nice to eat one morning set together.’
When I heard Hochang’s words, I smiled and told everyone.
“Okay. Today I’m going to shoot one set, so pick whatever you want~.”
Everyone was delighted when I decided to give a small treat.
“Come, really?”
“Nice~!”
“Thank you, Jinhyeok! I’ll eat well!”
Personally, I thought it would be nice if a fast food restaurant didn’t have a separate breakfast menu like this and just sold hamburgers.
Eating less in the morning is less burdensome and there are good things, but even though it was a set of muffins, the amount was not that large.
However, I went to another place to have breakfast separately, so I decided to just solve it properly here.
Everyone chose a set of muffins, and Hochang was very hungry, so he ordered another chicken snack wrap for dessert.
We sat around the study area for a while and talked for a while while eating a set of morning muffins.
“There’s not much time left for the real test now~, right~.”
“Has the application period for level 5 been over?”
“Hey… Who the hell is taking the 5th grade?
“Are there too many subjects?”
Our study members had a strong consensus on the civil service exam, so we could have endless conversations about it.
I decided that I had confirmed that I had become a scholarship student a little late, so after the study was over, I spent only enough time to eat muffins and drinks and head to the academy.
When it was time to go to the academy, the people were divided 4 to 2.
Sang-won hyung and Hye-na noona went home.
And I, Yun-Kyung, Eun-Hee noona, and Ho-Chang went to the academy anyway, whether it was taking classes or going to the academy’s self-study room.
Among them, Hochang was probably more likely to go home and play the game after accompanying Yoon-kyung and Eun-hee on their way to the academy to try one more word.
In the meantime, if I look at it once, it seems that when Hochang came to the academy while I was in the academy study room after studying, Hochang came to the academy study room and then went home within 2 hours most of the time.
It was probably because the purpose of Hochang was to talk to Yoon-kyung and Eun-hee noona, or to raise the game level after returning home, rather than to increase the efficiency of learning.
As expected, on the way, Hochang was trying to say one more word to Yun-gyeong and Eun-hee.
“Yoon Kyung-ah, do you take herbal medicine these days? My brother found a good vegetarian buffet. Can’t we have lunch together there?”
“Haha… No, I recently had enteritis. I can’t eat.”
“Really? Shall we go to the hospital with you then?”
“No, it’s chronic, chronic. Going to the hospital is useless, and it’ll be fine if you just leave it alone.”
“Then can you call me when you feel better? Let’s eat together with you.”
“Yeah… I don’t know when it will get better.”
In spite of the constant rush of Hochang, Yoon-kyung was trying to get rid of Hochang, saying that he was taking herbal medicine, he had enteritis, and he didn’t know when he would get better.
Even Yun-gyeong, who had been asking me to eat first because she wanted to fuck me, didn’t seem to want to spend the night with Ho-chang.
More than that, I think it’s a pity that Hochang has a lot of enthusiasm for games and girls and not that much enthusiasm for learning.
However, it seemed difficult for me to give direct instruction.
Studying is not something that can be forced.
In particular, studying for civil service exams can be even more so.
If it’s a midterm or final exam during school days, the preparation period is short, so grades may go up by force.
However, I think that the probability of passing the exam by ordering someone else to study for the civil service exam, which is a job that many people risk life and death to learn, will not be so great.
It seems that the efficiency is much better when you do something on your own initiative by your own necessity.
In that sense, I hope Hochang goes well, but it doesn’t mean much to me to study.
Thinking about that, I arrived at the academy with the four of us, Yoon-gyeong, Eun-hee, and Ho-chang.
The distance between the fast food restaurant and the academy was very close, so we arrived quickly.
After arriving at the academy and going up the stairs a little, I went to the desk on the second floor and talked to the others.
“Ah, yes. I have something to do on the second floor. Everyone, work hard~.”
Everyone received my greetings and went up to the third floor or higher, where the self-study room and lecture room were located.
“Brother, work hard~!”
“Hello Jinhyeok!”
“Go~.”
After sending them off, I went to the desk on the second floor to receive scholarship information.
