Chapter 10.2
ㅤ
Cheong Juhwa couldn’t even argue back. She knew better than anyone the influence that the title of direct bloodline and rising star of the Cheong family held.
ㅤ
Cheong Haram, who had been looking at Cheong Juhwa with a bitter face, glanced around and said,
ㅤ
“Just in case, is there anyone who wants to pair up with her?”
ㅤ
No one could answer. The second-year students, who knew her usual behavior, were all busy avoiding Cheong Haram’s gaze.
ㅤ
Simply being in the same grade wasn’t enough to stand up to her; she was on a completely different level.
ㅤ
Just as Cheong Haram smiled in satisfaction, the teacher in charge of the class finally entered the lecture hall. He was a middle-aged man in a plain suit, someone I didn’t recognize.
ㅤ
“My apologies for being late due to a meeting. Let’s start the class right away.”
ㅤ
「𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.」

ㅤ
As a faculty member, his level was higher than that of the students nearby, but his overall ability was just average. He was the type who focused on his role as a teacher rather than being a field agent.
ㅤ
「𝙃𝙚’𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢.」
ㅤ
Cheong Haram seemed to realize this as well and smiled faintly. From this point on, the rest was obvious.
ㅤ
“Hmm?”
ㅤ
Yoon Ilrok, who was puzzled by the strange atmosphere in the lecture hall, was interrupted by Cheong Haram.
ㅤ
“Teacher, is there a problem?”
ㅤ
“Oh, no, it’s just. . . . . . .”
ㅤ
Yoon Ilrok made a face as if he had made a mistake.
ㅤ
Perhaps he had activated his Crisis Perception trait and grasped the general situation.
ㅤ
Yoon Ilrok glanced at Cheong Juhwa, who had her head bowed deeply, and chose to look away.
ㅤ
“Let’s proceed with the class.”
ㅤ
Cheong Haram smiled in satisfaction, while Cheong Juhwa, who realized the bleak future that awaited her, bit her lip tightly.
ㅤ
“In this class, we will learn about the positive. . . . . . through exchanges between students of different grades.”
ㅤ
Yoon Ilrok briefly explained the outline of the class. After that, the formation of teams began immediately.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .So, I hope you will find a partner who can help you grow through meaningful conversations. You will have 30 minutes to do so.”
ㅤ
As soon as he finished speaking, the students began to move busily.
ㅤ
Some had already decided on their partners, while others were checking each other’s backgrounds and specialties, looking for someone they liked.
ㅤ
However, no one approached Cheong Juhwa.
ㅤ
No one even dared to look at her.
ㅤ
Cheong Haram, who was smiling, said to Cheong Juhwa, who looked desperate,
ㅤ
“There’s no place for you here.”
ㅤ
“. . . . . . .”
ㅤ
“So, get out of the academy.”
ㅤ
Cheong Juhwa couldn’t even lift her head, but Cheong Haram seemed to think it wasn’t enough and tried to open her mouth again.
ㅤ
And I slowly began to walk towards the two of them.
ㅤ
Thud.
ㅤ
Thud.
ㅤ
At first, my footsteps were drowned out by the sound of conversation.
ㅤ
However, as I continued, the surroundings gradually grew quiet, and one by one, people’s gazes began to focus on me.
ㅤ
Murmur. Murmur.
ㅤ
『Hey, who’s that kid? Didn’t he hear what she said just now?』
ㅤ
『It’s Han Kang-yoon. Is he really going to. . . . . . .』
ㅤ
『Why is he doing that? Is he crazy?』
ㅤ
The whispers buzzed in my ears, but I didn’t care about them. After all, I had been hearing the same things over and over again since the entrance ceremony a week ago.
ㅤ
Thud. Thud.
ㅤ
With each step I took, tension filled the lecture hall. Some people gulped so loudly that it was audible, while others turned their heads and checked the situation with sidelong glances.
ㅤ
Thud.
ㅤ
Finally, when the silence had settled and only the sound of my footsteps echoed, I was able to reach the two of them.
ㅤ
“. . .I’m sorry, but aren’t you allowed to form teams with second-year students?”
ㅤ
Cheong Haram approached me with a grin. Of course, she didn’t mean it literally. It was a kind of threat and warning, telling me that this was my last chance to turn back before things got out of hand.
ㅤ
Naturally, I had a prepared response to that.
ㅤ
I smiled back at Cheong Haram and calmly replied,
ㅤ
“I know.”
ㅤ
That was the moment when everyone in the lecture hall completely froze.
