    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 139

    “…Gigaroius?”

    The name on the notice looked familiar.

    “You’ve heard it right? “It is an academy that is considered number one in the private bar exam industry.”

    As Hanseol explains there were very few bar exam takers who did not know the name Gigarroius.

    ‘No actually it’s not just the bar exam.’

    Gigaroy Us is a professional bar exam education brand launched by Giga Education a huge education company.

    Originally Giga Education started as a small entrance exam academy but thanks to parents’ desire for education and heated competition for entrance exams it achieved unprecedented success and grew in size.

    Now its scope has expanded like an octopus to include university transfer civil service exams various professional exams and law school entrance exams.

    As it is recognized by everyone as the largest brand in the private education market in Korea its prestige is well-known in the bar exam field.

    “Yeah I know.”

    I pointed to the notice on the smartphone screen.

    “Why are you holding this competition all of a sudden?”

    “Well there are many superficial reasons.”

    Hanseol took a breath as if he was contemplating his expression for a moment.

    “Internally yes. To put it in one word it is because of the emergence of competitors.”

    “competitor?”

    “huh. Do you know what ‘future talent’ is? “It is a famous academy that competes with GigaEdu in college entrance exams and there are rumors that it is entering the private education market for law school entrance exams and bar exams.”

    In fact it is said that several major instructors from various academies including Gigaroyus submitted their resignation letters.

    Although their whereabouts were not revealed publicly some of them privately leaked information that they were ‘transferring to a new academy run by Future Talent.’

    “Gigaroius is concerned that its current monopoly will be shaken. So we are holding a competition like this and trying to promote on a large scale that we can create such good problems and provide high-quality education.”

    It was an understandable explanation.

    ‘Future talent.’

    If an academy has extensive experience in the field of college entrance exams it is bound to be well-versed in the physiology of the private education market.

    Isn’t Giga Education a case in which it has expanded its business by taking advantage of its strengths?

    ‘Plus the financial power to steal away existing instructors. Even the ability to act.’

    Gigaroyus which claimed to be number one in the industry could not help but feel threatened.

    In short this competition was a means for Gigaroyus to prove and promote their strengths.

    A database of high-level problems. And an excellent human resources pool with a history of appearing on the bar exam that makes this possible. That will definitely be a strong reason to entice test takers.

    “But how do you know that?”

    “Mom works there. “There were a lot of people who knew about this place from a long time ago and there were quite a few stories flowing in.”

    ‘indeed.’

    Han Seol’s mother Jang Hwa-eun was a law instructor with considerable experience. As a result it seems like there was information that Hanseol naturally learned as well.

    “Are you doing well with your mother? “After that.”

    “Yeah okay. “We’re still a little awkward with each other but it’s much better than before.”

    The somewhat twisted family situation seemed to have been sorted out to some extent.

    ‘That’s good.’

    “Anyway I think it’s a good way to get new problems at the level you want. But the problem is…”

    “What’s the problem?”

    “It says that the recommended participants for this are 3rd grade or N exam students.”

    In response to Hanseol’s point I looked at the notice again. At the end of the explanation of the purpose of the event there was one more line of short information.

    * Recommended participants: Third-year law school students and graduates preparing for the bar exam (record-type questions will not be administered but optional and case-type questions will be administered with a range and difficulty level similar to the actual bar exam)

    “It’s true.”

    “If they’re going to nail it down like this I guess they’re really going to be picky about paying.”

    The level of the problem is also top notch.

    The only expected competitors are third-year law school students who have learned everything they need to learn or N exam students who have literally risked their lives to study after failing the first exam.

    I face tougher conditions than ever before.

    [Application for participation has been received.]

    I accepted the application with a happy expression as if it was natural.

    “…I can’t stop you.”

    Looking at me like that Hanseol just smiled.

    * * *

    Gwak Tae-yong deputy director of Gigaroyus was in a very good mood right now.

    “The response has been very good. “Isn’t that right?”

    “Oh of course. “As expected you are the vice director.”

    The head of the administrative office received his words rubbing his hands together.

    “At this level it’s clear that future talent will not hesitate even if they come in!”

    On the computer screen they were looking at a list of applicants for this bar exam mock test contest appeared.

    [Total number of people: 2641]

    “The total number of applicants for the bar exam each year barely exceeds 3500. “More than 2600 people applied for this mock exam.”

    “I took a quick look and it seems like almost all N exam students have applied. Even students attending other boarding schools.”

    “Rather than losing out on the pie isn’t this actually making you better off?”

    “Oh of course.”

    “Who planned this great mock test?”

    “Of course you are the vice director! “I can’t help but be amazed by your insight!”

    ‘Hehehe then then. It’s all my merit.’

    Taeyong Kwak was originally an instructor who taught law at Giga Education’s public servant brand.

    Although his teaching skills were mediocre Kwak Tae-yong had an outstanding talent for marketing.

    Noting his talent the headquarters called in Kwak Tae-yong and offered him the position of vice president of Gigaroyus.

    With a salary that was incomparable to that of his time as an instructor Taeyong Kwak quickly accepted the offer and has successfully led Gigaroyus to the present by making full use of his talents.

    ‘It’s been a tough journey.’

    We actively recruited famous instructors from the time of the bar exam and received their advice to prepare systematic courses that are incomparable to other academies.

    Students preparing for the bar exam are always overwhelmed by the enormous amount of learning.

    It’s not easy to even make a plan on your own about what and how to study.

    Taeyong Kwak’s promotional message ‘If you follow the Gigaroyus curriculum you will definitely pass!’ was effective for such students.

    Thanks to this Gigaroyus was able to quickly establish an unrivaled position in the bar exam market.

    ‘I wondered what would happen when future talent entered the bar exam market…’

    The emergence of future talent as a strong competitor. It was a very troubling issue for Kwak Tae-yong as well.

    It was that feeling when instructors who until recently were drinking together in private put down their resignation letters on his desk and looked at him carefully.

    ‘We can’t just tolerate it.’

    How can the existing champion maintain his position in the face of new competitors?

    ‘It’s simple. ‘Because you’re a champion you just have to show what you can do.’

    A human resource pool secured through being in the bar exam market for a long time.

    A question bank and database created so elaborately that it can be compared to actual bar exam questions.

    It was an asset unique to Gigaroy Us that future talents who showed up late could never match.

    We are actively promoting those strengths through this mock exam contest.

    It reaffirms to existing students why it should be Gigaroyus not future talent and also appeals to potential customers.

    “Actually that’s not all.”

    “yes? “Is there more?”

    “okay. “This competition will also serve as a stage to prove how excellent our academy students are.”

    “What do you mean…?”

    “This competition isn’t just for our students right? A large number of students from other academies and those who did not attend the academy at all also participated. What would happen if our kids swept the prize in such a test?

    “It will naturally reveal differences in students’ skills and levels!”

    “That’s it.”

    The value of indicators that can be compared objectively is great.

    What if Gigaroyus students get overwhelmingly better grades than students at other academies or students who do not attend academies?

    Such results will certainly leave a strong impression on many people.

    – How well does Gigaroyus teach?

    This meant that such a reaction could be induced.

    ‘And there’s a good chance that’s actually going to happen.’

    Taeyong Kwak was confident in Gigaroyus’ curriculum.

    Just looking at the mock exams conducted by the academy itself the level of students’ answers was very excellent.

    ‘It’s not just that. ‘Because our children are learning directly from the test committee members who wrote the questions for this exam.’

    How to find issues. Legal principles that are considered important. Rules to follow in narrative.

    In this way Gigaroyus students received lectures directly from the test takers for this mock exam regarding the points that are directly related to scoring.

    How could you possibly lose with such an advantage?

    “I don’t know if there will be one or two places for the excellence award but the grand prize will definitely go to one of our students. “I can assure you.”

    “As expected Vice Director! “You were looking all the way up there!”

    “The grand prize winner will be used as a face madam. Such an amazing student is taking our curriculum. “If you get a perfect score on the college entrance exam at an entrance exam academy they put up a placard right?”

    “indeed!”

    The head of the administrative office applauded as if impressed but then suddenly stopped and asked again.

    “But what if the grand prize winner is not our student?”

    “That won’t happen. “If the grand prize really comes out…”

    Taeyong Kwak declared.

    “I will recruit you no matter what. Whether it’s a scholarship or something. No matter what conditions are imposed. “I will personally come forward and make it a part of our academy even if it means begging for it and announce it as such.”

    “aha.”

    That’s right. In fact it didn’t matter who won the grand prize.

    In any case when the results are eventually announced you will be a Gigaroyus student. Taeyong Kwak had the confidence to make it happen.

    ‘It’s the perfect plan.’

    Taeyong Kwak sat in front of the computer with a satisfied expression.

    “There are a whopping 2600 people. “I thought it would be a success if I could secure only 1700 people which is half of the number of people taking the bar exam but I ended up far exceeding my goal.”

    Even the clicking sound of the mouse is exciting.

    Taeyong Kwak leisurely admired his performance once again. The mouse skimmed through the list of participants on the screen.

    “Third year. 3rd grade. graduate. 3rd grade. graduate. graduate. graduate. graduate. There are definitely a lot of graduates.”

    “It is an opportunity that cannot be missed for N exam students.”

    “That’s right. 3rd grade. graduate. graduate. 3rd grade. …huh?”

    “Why are you doing this?”

    The head of the administrative office asked curiously.

    “What is this?”

    “Is there something wrong?”

    “Administrative Director.”

    “yes!”

    “Didn’t I clearly tell you to write it down in the notice?”

    “What are you talking about?”

    “It will be as difficult as the bar exam and only third-year or graduate students can properly solve it. like that. “So that only those who are ready to change on their own can apply.”

    “Uh… I did use it for now.”

    The head of the administrative office showed the notice to Kwak Tae-yong. It was clearly stated at the end that the recommended participants were third-year law school students and graduates.

    “Then what is this?”

    The head of the administrative office turned his head towards the direction where Kwak Tae-yong’s finger was pointing. Then he rubbed his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.
