I Became a Law School Genius – 27



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 27

“You are a catfish that runs wild in a small lake.”

A long time ago Yu Ye-seul’s father said that to her.

There is nothing special about being a creature that lives in a small lake.

Insects such as dragonflies snails and freshwater crabs are at the bottom of the food chain.

The only things that feed on them are small fish frogs and salamanders.

In such lakes catfish are nothing short of asymmetrical power.

The moment he appears he is the king of the lake making everyone run away in confusion and bow their heads.

But what would happen if a bull shark fell from the sky one day?

Catfish’s small kingdom will collapse in an instant.

Conversely what if you fish out the catfish and release it into the open sea?

As expected I have no choice but to avoid fish that are much larger than me.

That’s why her father said that.

So that you know that you are a catfish so that you don’t get hurt by fussing over whales or sharks.

‘Hmph that’s funny.’

Of course Yu Ye-seul just snorted.

As the daughter of the CEO of a large law firm there has never been a single thing that didn’t go her way.

In particular Yoo Ye-seul was good at handling and moving people.

Sometimes he gave away his financial resources and sometimes he misled others with clever rhetoric and words and actions.

In this way as the daughter of a law firm CEO I became accustomed to the secret struggles and messy political battles that I had to face in the future.

Because of this I developed the habit of thinking twice about everything but there was no harm in crossing the stone bridge after pounding on it.

Yu Ye-seul has always successfully built her own kingdom.

Until I entered law school and met a bastard named Park Yoo-seung.

At first I thought he was nothing special.

I heard that a famous gangster during my undergraduate days suddenly got high grades so I assumed that he had resorted to a trick with his family’s help.

So I deliberately went over and shook that part a little.

If he were to be caught he planned to use it as a weakness and place Park Yoo-seung under his influence.

‘I thought so.’

– As for the secret… Are you talking about the ‘secret’ that Ye-seul Yoo used when she won the grand prize at the Ministry of Justice Law Paper Contest during her high school days?

Rather his secret details were revealed to his opponent.

Since it was already done a long time ago it must be a secret that no one knows but my head turned white.

Yoo Ye-seul who retreated as if running away began investigating Park Yoo-seung.

And then I noticed.

‘Something is strange.’

It was clearly true that this man had been behaving as a bastard throughout his undergraduate years.

However as soon as I entered law school I recorded overwhelming grades as if my soul had been replaced.

He also showed a performance in real time that could not be considered manipulation.

Yu Ye-seul had no choice but to admit it. Park Yoo-seung’s skills are real.

‘but.’

There was no way something like that was possible.

Natural talent? No matter how talented you are it takes time to refine and shine.

One of the two had to be false.

Whether Park Yoo-seung was outstanding in law school or Park Yoo-seung was an asshole during his undergraduate years.

If what you show when you come to law school is real…

A terrifying thought passed through Yu Ye-seul’s head.

‘The appearance of a maniac is a lie?’

If you’ve been deliberately pretending to be a mindless person everything is explained.

In the first place it was strange that Park Yoo-seung knew about her long-standing scandal.

If he had really lived as an idiot there is no way he would have read the entries in the law paper contest that Yu Ye-seul participated in when she was in middle school.

‘But why?’

Why has Park Yoo-seung been imitating an idiot all this time?

And why has it now begun to reveal its true face?

Yoo Ye-seul suddenly thought about the succession structure of Yuseong Group to which Park Yoo-seung belongs.

Park Yoo-seung’s older brother Park Tae-yang whom I met several times at parties.

At first glance he seemed like a nice businessman but behind the scenes he was a dangerous man who would do anything for his own ends.

Park Min-ha the older sister is not as dark as him but she has a fiery personality and needs to destroy everything that bothers her to relieve her anger.

They would have been too threatening enemies for Park Yoo-seung who was still young.

What if Park Yoo-seung had been deliberately pretending to be a poor person and hiding his true colors in order to avoid being warned by them?

If he was secretly hoarding knowledge and power and drawing a big picture.

‘Now that I think about it.’

For a while I heard from a source in the Yuseong Group that Chairman Park was finally trying to decide on a successor and he said that he had been feeling that way for some time now.

According to Yoo Ye-seul’s investigation it was around the time that Park Yoo-seung had just returned from his hometown.

‘As soon as he started moving he shook the chairman of the Yoosung Group…?’

Yu Ye-seul swallowed her saliva.

The source of Yu Ye-seul’s confidence is her background.

The daughter of the CEO of Taejong one of the top three large law firms in Korea.

However law firms were originally a labor-intensive industry centered on human capital.

Even if it is a ‘large’ law firm with hundreds of lawyers its absolute sales volume is actually not that large.

At best is it similar to a mid-sized company?

It was nothing compared to the Yuseong Group which was a giant in the business world.

From the beginning among Taejong’s major advisory clients were many of Yuseong’s key affiliates.

In other words the scale of the water itself is different in the first place.

An image flashes through Yu Ye-seul’s mind.

A huge snake lying coiled in a deep cave.

No it’s not a snake.

‘…Jamryong (潛龍)!’

It was a giant dragon that was holding its breath waiting for the moment to take flight and devour everything.

How deep is the will and tenacity it possesses and the heart it forged by deceiving the eyes of the world?

For a moment Yoo Ye-seul realized that she had touched an absurd being and was overcome with fear.

As his father said he was nothing more than a catfish.

The problem is that what she touched was not a shark or a whale but a dragon that was crouching and waiting to wake up.

‘What should I do what should I do what should I do…!’

The magazine in which my father’s thesis was published was recovered in limited quantity from the market.

However we were unable to secure the number of copies taken by academic members with whom we had a falling out or lost contact at the time.

What if Park Yoo-seung contacts them? Yu Ye-seul was finished.

My admission would be canceled in an instant and if I couldn’t become a lawyer I couldn’t follow in my father’s footsteps.

‘…No no. Let’s calm down.’

Yu Ye-seul suddenly came to her senses.

‘Yes it’s not too late.’

Park Yoo-seung did not take any action after warning Yoo Ye-seul that day.

Even though he investigated her secrets and pinpointed her weaknesses why did he not strangle her?

Maybe he’s trying to give me a chance. Yu Ye-seul concluded that.

It is a test of whether you have seen through your own identity and whether you have the insight and judgment to do so.

If you go to yourself now ask for forgiveness and volunteer to become a useful tool you may be able to avoid the worst outcome.

In any case it was impossible to revolt once the weakness was discovered.

If you can’t win you have to join.

I can only hope that there is a place for me in the huge blueprint he draws.

At that time Han Seol who always goes with Park Yoo-seung posted a study recruitment notice.

If you go over there Park Yoo-seung will definitely be there.

For Yoo Ye-seul this was nothing short of the last chance.

So Ye-seul Yoo held her smartphone with trembling hands and wrote an application message.

* * *

“I will do anything you ask me to do! Even though I look like this I’m quite capable. Please don’t throw me away….”

Yoo Ye-seul looked like she was going to get hit by a triple-header if she didn’t stop her right away.

Even when I asked him what he was talking about he remained the same.

“You’re telling me not to reveal your true intentions! Okay I’ll watch my mouth!”

“What are you saying you crazy person?”

It seems that Yu Ye-seul had completely misunderstood something.

I don’t know what kind of mistake it is that I end up waving the white flag like this.

For me who was thinking of confronting her if the situation arises it was an incredibly frustrating development.

‘…But there’s nothing bad about it.’

Yoo Ye-seul is actually quite capable.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing if I could use Ye-seul Yoo whether for assignments for this study or other things that would happen at Hankuk University Law School in the future.

Above all in the original work she was a villain who stood in conflict with Shin Seo-jun and constantly held him back.

If I could control Yoo Ye-seul Shin Seo-jun would be able to solve problems more quickly.

In the end I spoke to Yu Ye-seul who was almost lying face down on the floor.

“Please get up. yes.”

“…Are you using me?”

“Okay so please stand up. “Don’t take such a low profile in front of others.”

“thank you! thank you!”

“Okay so let’s go.”

“yes!”

Yu Ye-seul jumped up and shook her head like someone who came back from the dead.

Then when I gave the order to congratulate the guests they left the study room with rapid steps as if they were flying.

“I lived!”

It felt like I heard that sound.

“…Huh.”

In any case should we say that the Yoo Ye-seul incident has been resolved to some extent?

The only person left was Kim Seung-pil the most important person in this interview.

‘Let’s focus.’

Seungpil Kim was different from other law school classmates who seemed like children.

He was not a person who could easily be judged.

If you can make him an ally he will be of great help to you… but in order to prevent the development of the original story from being too distorted we had to find out his current intentions first.

I called Seungpil Kim on my smartphone and brought him into the room.

“Oh is it my turn?”

Seungpil Kim opened the door and sat down across from me.

“You want to join our constitutional study.”

“sure.”

Seungpil Kim answered with a smile that gave off the feeling of a member of society.

In fact he had been working for many years so he was quite old.

“Can I tell you why?”

Actually I didn’t think I would get an answer.

This is because Kim Seung-pil was not an easy person to reveal his true feelings right away.

That’s why.

“Actually” he said.

I was surprised when Seungpil Kim immediately said that.

“I became interested in Park Yoo-seung.”

“…yes?”

“No no. Don’t misunderstand. “I don’t mean that.”

Seungpil Kim waved his hand and continued speaking.

“Park Yu-seung do you know what I am here for?”

“You’re a reporter. “You exclusively covered a huge scandal that shook the Republic of Korea.”

“As expected you know.”

“Because you are that famous.”

Seungpil Kim smiled saying it was an honor.

“The public praises me saying that I am a true reporter who brings justice or that I am a hero who uncovered a massive group crime that was almost buried but… that is far from the reality. “I’m just a human being pursuing my own interests.”

“Interesting?”

“That’s right. I didn’t have any great ideas when I hit the reporter. “It just seemed fun to touch on legal issues while covering the case.”

And now Seungpil Kim pointed at me.

“Mr. Park Yu-seung. “Your actions intrigue me.”

“….”

“Isn’t anyone curious? “What kind of path will the second-generation chaebol who threw off the ‘bastard’ overnight take in the future?”

‘No this human too?’

For a moment I felt like my vision was becoming blurry.

So to summarize this person was just like Yu Ye-seul.

I was just studying hard after being possessed out of nowhere but people with their own will were following me.

‘What path do you walk?’

I just want to quietly hone my law skills and achieve my unfulfilled dream.

Everything else I did was just making it easier or getting rid of distractions.

But it didn’t seem that way to other people.

Seungpil Kim nodded as if he knew everything and made a suggestion.

“thrice.”

Seungpil Kim showed three fingers.

“From now on we will allow Park Yoo-seung to use the media whenever and however he wants. “Even though I had less time I was able to put in a bit of effort in various aspects as the number of cases was so large.”

“…What is the price?”

“Please allow us to observe Park Yoo-seung’s actions. For now that’s it. Let’s start with what you fit into this study. In fact it is true that studying the Constitution is difficult.”

Even if it’s me shouldn’t I have to take the bar exam? Seungpil Kim joked like that.

“Oh and.”

“and?”

“Maybe later. “Please let me write articles about Park Yoo-seung whenever I want.”

‘Is this the main point?’

“I have a pretty good feeling. “If it’s Park Yoo-seung I have a feeling that he will give me another scoop of a lifetime.”

Even though he eventually said he quit Seungpil Kim was still a journalist.

I seemed to see a burning desire for interesting stories in his eyes.

‘How do I do it?’

To put it simply it’s a three-for-one deal.

I could use Seungpil Kim three times and it was enough to provide news for him once at the end.

Being able to borrow the power of the media whenever you need it is a great help.

‘okay. For example just about that issue….’

The only thing to note is that now I am ‘Park Yoo-seung’.

Fortunately this bastard never committed any serious crimes but his behavior was so bad that he was in a lot of trouble if something went wrong and became an issue.

There was even a possibility that it could seriously hinder my path as a prosecutor.

This part had to be clearly pointed out.

“There are conditions.”

I spoke to Seungpil Kim.

“I will never write an article in a way that is harmful to me. “If you write an article be sure to get my review and only include content that has been approved.”

“Nothing much. great.”

“…Are you really okay?”

“Because I had no intention of harming Mr. Park Yoo-seung in the first place.”

Well then. Negotiations were concluded.

Seungpil Kim extended his hand to me and I hesitantly held his hand and shook his hand.

“Then please take care of me.”

After sending him out I was left alone and muttered.

“…What the hell is going on?”

I was just trying to find members to prepare for the exam.

But suddenly two human resources that could be used in all directions came rolling in.

“I guess I’ll have to notify Hanseol of his elimination.”

From the beginning I decided to follow my wishes in selecting study members so it wasn’t wrong but I felt sorry for something.

They ultimately failed because it had nothing to do with their interview.

I’ll have to take care of something later. Study materials or something.

Anyway it wasn’t a bad result. Rather it had to be seen as very good.

In fact the two were talented individuals who were well suited to the original study purpose.

“Yes we have selected study members so we need to prepare quickly.”

A strategy that will surely overcome the infamous ‘Constitutional Court’ test.

All the ingredients are available.

Now was the time to take action.

After briefly explaining the situation to Hanseol I returned home and began making the necessary preparations.

The amount of work was heavier than I expected so I stayed up almost all night.

And the next afternoon.

“now. “Let’s say hello.”

I gathered the six completed study members into the study room.

Han Seol Lee Ha Haru Yoo Tae Woon Yoo Ye Seul Kim Seung Pil and me.

“This is Seungpil Kim. Please take care of me.”

“I’m Yoo Ye-seul….”

After formally greeting the new members the projector was turned on and everyone’s heads turned to the image projected on the wall.

“This is what we must do from now on.”
