94 – Hard work, civil servant – 3
For lunch, due to Suhyeon’s strong insistence, we decided to have lunch at the academy cafeteria.
Even though I said it was okay, even though I said it had nothing to do with lunchtime.
The reason was that I didn’t like anything that would disturb me in the slightest.
“The fact that the dean is calling means that it is important. Then you shouldn’t be late. Wouldn’t it be better if you were there in advance?”
That, Suhyun. Being late is a problem, of course, but going early is a bit of a problem.
Lunch time is literally a time to rest, but to go in advance.
I know you care about me, but this judge is so sad.
“… yes. It would be better for Suhyeon to do as you say.”
I had a strong feeling that he was trying to take care of me, so I finally decided to accept Suhyeon’s opinion.
Certainly, it took more time to hang out in the academy than to eat lunch out.
Considering the travel time, being tight is right.
‘And considering the level of the academy restaurant, it’s actually better than most restaurants.’
The academy is said to have painted with money instead of cement and paint.
It is the best educational institution that nurtures the most important force, ‘people with special abilities’.
Can a restaurant like that be normal? Then what kind of complaints do you want to hear?
The story of a famous chef coming here and suffering a slap in the face is well-known.
After that, I went back to my home country and said, ‘You stupid sandwiches! You guys are cooking worse than a cafeteria!’ It is said that he even cast a novel galgeum called ‘Galgeom’ or something.
“Oh, eat a lot! Judge!”
“Soohyun and you too. Slow down, don’t be shy.”
“Yep! I will!”
If someone hears it, they will know that they are giving a very important order.
When I was told to eat slowly, ‘I will definitely do it!’ is a bit strange
While eating, I looked at Suhyeon once in a while.
When we first met, let alone eating, even talking.
Even when I passed by for a moment, I was busy taking care of others.
Should I say that someone is going to take him, like a baby deer who is very nervous?
‘Actually, it wasn’t a baby deer, but a witch who hid her powers.’
There is a feeling that things are going a little differently from the original plan.
It started with not being able to hand Suhyeon into the hands of the villain.
Somehow, the Red Witch became very dependent on me.
As a bonus, I became the object of interest for elders who didn’t want to deal with it.
But, it’s okay. Aren’t you anxious? at all.
It’s not about going back to the original world, nor about keeping the flow of the original.
only one thing you want accomplishing what I want to achieve.
to live more to hurt less. And smile brighter.
“Hey, Judge. I want to ask you something, is that okay?”
Suhyeon, who was eating in the middle of the meal, secretly parted her lips.
I had been guessing that this would happen a little while ago.
‘I can’t stand it because I’m so curious.’ I felt like doing it.
“Don’t say it’s okay. It may be a question. Previously. Suhyeon, I’ll try to guess what question you’re asking. Do you want to ask if honesty discipline is a heavy punishment?”
“uh… How did you know?!”
“I can know everything.”
Once, in a joking way, he answered like that.
By the way… Why did your expression suddenly change like that?
You open your eyes wide and look at me.
Then he covered his mouth and shouted ‘Hee!’ And I’m holding my breath
I couldn’t figure out why Suhyeon was doing that.
“Soohyun. Suhyeon?”
“… Ahhh! Yeah! Judge! Did you call?”
“Are you okay? Now, it seems a little strange.”
“Yes. say it’s okay Absolutely. Yes, of course. The judges now understand my feelings… .”
… Hey, Suhyun. I guess it’s not what you think right now.
It’s just that I read the change in expression when the story of honesty came out earlier.
Because Irina says that all the answers come from the expression on my face.
I didn’t just manage my expression, I also looked at other people’s faces more carefully.
As a result, it helped to understand the other person’s intentions, just like Irina did.
Especially when all the emotions are revealed on the face like Soohyun right now!
“… Anyway, let me answer that. It is really very difficult to get promoted in civil service. Since it is a public service, honor is also very important. If these two are intertwined, if you do something that harms the honor of a public official, promotion is virtually impossible.”
The seats that can be climbed up are fixed.
On the other hand, those who go up are numerous. always overflowing
This is why even the smallest of mistakes can have an impact on promotion.
“okay. I thought honesty was a very small disposition.”
“Everyone thinks so. But no. That’s enough.”
“Yes. If the judges are satisfied… .”
Suhyeon’s next words sound very small and faint.
When I asked him to say it again, saying he didn’t hear it, he waved his hand saying no.
‘Well.’
Faint but ‘… You don’t have to.’ I think I just heard the word.
What do you mean you don’t have to do anything? Suhyeon.
*
The public official who said that he had a hard time with the judge was disciplined with suspension.
As soon as I heard that, I quickly looked up honesty.
‘Honest… A disciplinary measure that prohibits one from engaging in duties for a certain period of time… .’
is this a punishment? It’s not like you’re completely excluded from work, just being unable to come out for a certain period of time?
you’re just taking a break You’re telling me to take a vacation until it’s quiet and then come back later.
I was furious for a moment. He said he was the one who made the judges very difficult.
It is said that he was a human being who openly shamed him in front of him and made him bear the disadvantages.
just honesty? Is it all about keeping them out for a certain period of time?
‘I don’t think this is a bit. No matter how you think about it, this isn’t it.’
If the examiner didn’t say the following.
I would have tried to give a greater discipline by any means.
“Everyone thinks so. But no. That’s enough.”
Even though it’s such a light treatment, that person is satisfied.
yes. Then let me do it too. Let’s turn our attention to that part.
I want to do it somehow, but the judge was satisfied.
“Maybe I won’t have to step out.”
Oh, I think the voice was too loud.
just as expected. The judge asked what he said.
I replied that it was no, but I was very sorry.
You lied to the judge and not to anyone else. It shouldn’t be like this.
But to be honest, I think you’ll be worried again. I hate that too.
Let’s go over this one time. Anyway, you’re not going to do anything.
“Then Suhyun-ah. I’ll go first. Listen carefully to the lecture.”
The examiner smiled brightly and waved his hand.
My heart flutters every time I see him like that.
My head heats up, and my lips that want to laugh twitch.
I want to run to that person right now and play a fool.
to smile more please support me more Please stay closer
‘But… no. Not yet, I can’t.’
yes. Not yet. I am not qualified right now.
I have to work harder to be more confident than that person next to me.
After parting with Judge Baek Seo-jin, I moved on.
There are no lectures after lunch. And the same goes for ‘that man’.
“I’m here?”
‘Comrade.’
That person is still bronze, but I’m up to silver.
I still have him I think of Lee Hyeon-woo as a comrade.
Others had a negative view of the judge at first.
I say it’s great now, but that’s because the judges are active again and again.
It was faintly visible that he had subtly jumped on the bandwagon of that fame.
But Lee Hyeon-woo, standing in front of me and brandishing a sword.
From the very beginning, I rated the judges highly. I noticed that you are a great person.
Since then, I remember him for not treating me carelessly and always politely asking for a review.
Lee Hyeon-woo recognized the greatness of the judge at a glance. So, he is my comrade.
“Are you going to play again today?”
“Yes. And the rules are the same as before.”
“call.”
Instead of the usual wooden sword for training, a real sword full of spirit is presented.
Matching rules between me and Hyunwoo Lee. Do it with a real sword, not a wooden sword unconditionally.
And don’t use grass, but do your best in this fight.
If you compare my skills to Lee Hyun-woo, you can say that they are almost equal.
The difference is, while I focus more on the sword itself.
That man knew how to properly distribute it to other parts, not just the sword.
i want to learn that I want to make that part mine. No, it has to be.
‘Irina. To fight that woman even a little bit better. And furthermore, to protect the judge from everything that is hostile to him.’
crazy yellow. It’s been quite a while since I sparred with that woman.
I have never won a match against her.
No, let alone win, he never even launched a proper attack.
Irina was fast, and I was slow. I was dull and she was sharp.
In contrast to the overwhelmingly strong woman, I was just a weakling myself.
“With this, can you protect Seo-jin oppa from me? Try harder.”
I’m not giving you advice. The woman is laughing at me.
Mouth full of ridicule, eyes full of belittling energy.
And her body, which wasn’t even nervous, was telling me that.
‘decomposition.’
yes, disassembly. too broken I’m upset, I’m going crazy
Rather than Irina looking down on me, rather than ignoring me like a child.
From noblemtl.com
Just imagining that woman is next to the judge makes the fire soar.
A big flame that will never go out, that will swallow me whole.
However, I can never become foolish when I think of the judges.
Acknowledging the flame, he ignited it even louder, but he did not burn it and eat it.
The more angry he got, the more his mind fluctuated, the colder his reason.
I do not hold back my anger. But I didn’t even put myself in there.
What I have to do, the way I have to go, I decided to see only that.
for the judges. for that person. For the future to stay by his side.
‘Irina is also Irina, but her enemies are different.’
The elder who made the judge covered in blood, Kwak Hyuk.
I heard that he was the one who tried to kidnap me one day.
If it was me in the past, I might have trembled in fear.
To be honest, I’m still a little bit nervous.
But, you have to get over it. I will overcome it and make you pay for your sins.
wait. What I did to the judge, I will repay you in the same way.
