Survive at the Academy With 3000x Sensitivity 7

Chapter 7 - 3000x Sensitivity Study

Second day of school.
The first class was a class called 'Theoretical Understanding of Skills'.
To my right was Choi Da-hyun, who had registered for the same course as me, and to my left was Lim Kang-tae.

He told me

"Hey, do you know what kind of person Professor Jeong Na-jung is?"
"I don't know."

Lim Kang-tae smirked.
... It was the look you get when you teach me something you don't know.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this guy an explanation bug.

He began to list all sorts of information about Professor Jeong Na-jeong.
To be honest, I'm not really interested.
Still, I can't tell you to shut up when you explain so hard.
I have to respond a little bit.

"So Professor Jeong Na-jeong is the youngest academy professor ever, is this?"
"That's right! Hey, you're twenty-five this year. Professor. Professor. He said that he published several papers in top international journals."

Professor at the age of 25.
I know you are the elite of the elite.
Come to think of it, I think I saw the name on TV as if I was passing by...

Kang-tae Lim, who was continuing his explanation, tilted his head and asked me.

"But how did you take this class without even knowing the professor?"
"I just applied."
"Wow, bad luck. How competitive is Professor Na-Jung Jeong's lectures?"

I didn't even press the course registration button, but this course was on the registration list.
I just thought it must be a mistake and passed it over without thinking.
It was a required course anyway, so there was no reason to cancel it.

Lim Kang-tae cast his gaze toward Choi Da-hyun this time.

"Dahyeon also came with Professor Jeong Na-jung, right?"
"Yes? Uh... I-I'll do something like that!"

She replied with an awkward smile.

Drooling—.
The classroom sliding door opened.
A woman stood on the podium, making the brisk sound of her shoes ringing on the floor.

Black hair and black eyes.
To her, she was a very ordinary woman.

She glanced around the classroom.
Then he fixed his head in my direction for a moment, then grinned.

You're not looking at me are you?
Ah, it must be because of Choi Da-hyun, the daughter of the Western Guild.
After all, money is the best thing for a professor, um.

"Everyone is present. Oh, by the way, I don't end early because it's my first class. From the first day, I will go hard."

I heard the sighs of some students.
... Even to my right where Choi Da-hyun is.
Surprisingly, isn't it that you like studying so much?

The female professor took her chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Whether you read it straight or backwards, it's still Na-jung Jung. I wish you well for the next semester."

Lim Kang-tae,
"Yes, thank you!!"
Cried out loud.
It seemed that she wanted to look good for Professor Jeong Na-jung.

After that, the lecture went on as usual.
... Professor Jeong Na-jeong, who is in the teaching position, squeaks her yawn as if she is bored.
Could she be the kind of professor who doesn't care much about anything other than her own research?

"The status window you enjoy is also a kind of skill. It's the Andrew-Miyamoto system that was developed 30 years ago. In short, it spreads insight skills to you as shared skills. Open the status window once."

Following the professor's guidance, I muttered the status window to myself.

It was the result of continuous exercise from the day I took the awakening test until now.
... It was really hard to level up.
I thought that this is why people who have trained since childhood have an unconditional advantage.

"Now, I will explain each item. In fact, this is the most important thing to you, so take notes."

After about 3 hours.

"I will stop here for today. Be sure to review it."

It was a 3-hour class, but I really lectured continuously without a single break.
It was about three years since I dropped out of high school, so I felt a little welcome.
At least it's more comfortable than the Nogada version.

Professor Jeong Na-jeong stepped down from the podium and grabbed her sliding door handle.
I thought she would just leave
"Oh right."
Then he suddenly changed direction.

"Student wins engineering, right?"
"Yes? Yes..."

I was putting her textbook in her bag when she suddenly came in front of me.
Choi Da-hyun and Lim Kang-tae, who were next to me, also widened their eyes.

"Come to my lab in the afternoon."
"Yes?"

At Professor Jeong Na-jeong's words, Choi Da-hyun, more than me, said, "Oh, I can't..." ." She said at a loss.
Then the professor turned his head to Choi Da-hyeon and asked.

"Why not?"
"Mr. Daeseung has an appointment with me in the afternoon..."
"Is it that important? Are you dating? If it's a date, I'll understand."

Dahyun Choi pouted his lips and shook his head.
Maybe it was because I wanted to get another massage today, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to.
We cannot disappoint our valued customers.

I whispered to her in a low voice so as not to enter other people's ears as much as possible.

"I'll do it right after I see the professor. So, okay?"

The color radiates from her face,
"Yes!!"
She answered loudly.
To the point where all the other students in the classroom stared.

Professor Jeong Na-jeong came out and looked at Choi Da-hyun's face in turns, and she smiled.

"That's how it happened."

You're making a face as if you understood something yourself.
Soon after, she said as if informing and left the lecture room.

"Then see you in the afternoon."

... I haven't said I'm leaving yet.

*

All afternoon lectures are over.
I moved to the academy research building.
Once inside the building, I didn't know which floor to go to.
Because Professor Na-Jung Jeong didn't tell me exactly where her lab was.

She approached the guard room.
She was going to ask the guard.
However, a male student was arguing with a security guard.
The color of his tie makes him look like a sophomore.

"No, why can't I see Professor Chung?"
"I don't know if you ask me. Professor Jung says he doesn't want to meet you guys, so what are you going to do with me?"
"Ha, sir..."

A sophomore male student continued to get irritated and argued with the security guard for over 5 minutes.
He just snuck in, thinking that waiting for him would kill the day.

"Mister, where is Professor Jeong Na-jung's lab?"
“Oh, are the students looking for Professor Jung? No, Professor Jung told me not to let students into the lab. Give up and go for a while, I'm so bored to death.”

I was called by Professor Jeong Na-jung...
The security guard looked really tired because of this 2nd grade boy.

Just come back next time
If there is something really important to me, I will contact you on my own.
It's the professor's fault for not telling us the exact location of the lab in the first place.

"All right."

I turned around and was about to go outside when a sophomore male student muttered.

"Where is the first grader..."

... No, seniority matters when meeting professors.
It would be embarrassing to die, but even if I fought, money wouldn't come out, so I just grabbed the doorknob.

At that time,
Ding-.
The sound of the elevator arriving on the first floor was heard.
At the same time,
"Where are you going, engineering students!!"
The sound of shoes echoed quickly.

Before long, her right hand landed on my shoulder.
He held me tight as if he was trying to catch me.
Even though she was wearing shoes, she was able to run in a blink of an eye and her grip on her shoulders was no joke.
She said that there are many awakened people among the academy professors, and she seems to be the same.

"You don't like coming to my lab like that?"
"... No, that's not because I don't know where the lab is."
"Then you can ask the security guard."
"My uncle just told me to go."
"Ah..."

Professor Jeong Na-jung cleared her throat several times as if she was embarrassed.
Then he squeezed my wrists and pulled me toward the front of the elevator.

The 2nd year male student stood in front of her with her eyes wide open as if she saw me like that.

"Professor, the student council vice president—."
"Get out of the way."
"Professor, let's talk for a moment..."
"You would have said Vicky? I am not interested in students."
"So you're interested in this first grader?"

He glared at me fiercely.
You're popular, Professor Jeong Na-jung.
... I feel like I'm getting a strange hatred for some reason.

She replied with a sigh of her own.

"Students must be special at irritating people?"

The second-year senior clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth.
Soon, Professor Jung Na-jung stepped out of her way.
With my common sense, I couldn't understand why he wanted to meet the professor personally...

She rode the elevator with her.
She pressed the [3] Button and told me.

"Keep it in mind. My lab is room 302. Got it?"
"Ah yes."
"Anyway, all Awoken people have strange heads."

... Doesn't that mean me and myself included?
Because both she and I are awakened.

After getting off the third floor, Professor Jung Na-jung opened the door to room 302 with her faculty member ID.
I had never been to a lab before, so I thought it would be pure white and clean, just like it was on the news.
But she was messy with all sorts of papers and things, like a thief.

"I thought that students would come, so I organized it in advance. How is it, is it tidy?"
"Yes? This is... ?"
"... I tried."
"... Yes."

No, a professor needs to teach students well and do research well.
I went inside her, affirming her as best I could.

"Sit here. I'll make you a cup of coffee."
"Ah yes."

Forgetting me in the round bread chair, she filled the flask with water.
And she put it on top of a lit alcohol lamp.
... Why are you boiling the water like this?

A few minutes later, as the water bubbling, she poured the water from the flask into the drinking cup.
I tore off a coffee mix and poured it into the cup.
No, if you're going to put it in a cup after all, what's the difference between boiling water in a kettle?

She stirred well with a spoon and handed me her coffee cup.

"How about it, it's a bit like a lab, right?"
"... Yes?"
"Yes?"

Did you do this on purpose to make me look good?
No, in the first place, you learn to boil water with an alcohol lamp in science class in elementary school.
Because he is a genius professor, common sense is a bit twisted...

I took a sip of coffee.
It was a normal mix taste that I always ate in the Nogada version.

"Professor, so what are you doing with me?"

If I didn't keep my massage promise with Choi Da-hyun, I would be sullen, so I wanted to finish my conversation with the professor and go back.

She said with a small smile.

"It's amazing, student. All the other students are anxious to meet me."
"Ah, yes..."
"I'm not bragging, I'm just saying."

Professor Jeong Na-jeong grabbed the mouse of the computer in front of her.
And she played a video file.
It was a video of the entrance exam match that took place with Choi Da-hyun in January.

"Dae-seung student."
"Yes."
"From the first time he avoided Dahyun's attack to the fact that Dahyun's body got weird, everything was done by Daeseung, right?"

The professor asked with a very serious expression.

"I cannot tell you."

If it becomes known to the world, there will surely be laws to destroy my skills.
I still haven't decided if I'll continue to make a living as a hunter after graduating from the academy, but I wanted to be as careful as possible.

"I won't announce anything about skills to the academic world. Just my intellectual curiosity. Only I will know."
"I cannot tell you."
"I am stubborn... After all, you probably don't want to tell others about your unique skill."

Professor Jeong Na-jeong weakly bit her index finger on her lips and said, "Um..." Did.
It seemed to be her habit when lost in thought.

"It can't even be done with money, right?"
"It makes money. The larger the amount, the more my stubbornness shakes."
"... Oh yeah?"

She was Professor Jung Na-jeong, smiling a little as if she was dumbfounded.
