I Became a Law School Genius – 34



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 34

“Tsk.”

Jang Yong-hwan who was driving a black sedan clicked his tongue.

‘…Is this a waste of money again?’

Jang Yong-hwan had already taken off his clothes and left the prosecution office several years ago.

If he had any regrets it was that there was a case that he was unable to properly resolve once while on active duty.

Even after retiring and focusing on nurturing younger generations Jang Yong-hwan continued to personally pursue the truth of the incident.

This time I had just rushed over after hearing that a new witness related to him had been discovered.

But there wasn’t much profit.

After cross-checking with the data at the time it became clear that what the witness witnessed had nothing to do with the incident.

In the end Jang Yong-hwan had no choice but to return to school helplessly.

Squeak. It was the moment I parked my car in the parking lot.

“Oh my someone said it was our ace Professor Jang.”

Unfortunately I ended up running into Vice Director Choi Seong-cheol the person I most hated meeting.

“How are you preparing for the midterm exam?”

Although he was acting friendly he had a bone in his words.

The question was “Why are you so busy shooting at a time when there is so much opportunity to work?”

“I’m done.”

That’s why Jang Yong-hwan answered immediately.

“We have selected the questions to be tested and have students study on their own using the remaining preliminary questions. “I remember sending you the completed problem file. Did you see it?”

“Haha since I have so much work to do these days… I guess you are Professor Jang.”

Only then did Choi Seong-cheol change his mood and joke.

“I have very high expectations from Professor Jang. In particular aren’t the first-year students being taught this year outstanding students compared to previous years? “If you pay a little more attention and guidance wouldn’t you get the best output ever?”

“I’m sorry but that will be difficult.”

Jang Yong-hwan blurted out.

“I always teach any student to the best of my ability. So it’s impossible to do any better than this.”

As expected it was a horse with bones.

It may be reasonable as a manager to select and invest only in worthy students but it was a criticism of Choi Seong-cheol’s attitude which was a failing grade as an educator.

Choi Seong-cheol’s expression distorted for a moment but then he returned to a smiling face as if it had never happened before.

“Your words are a role model for an educator haha.”

You can’t treat Jang Yong-hwan rudely.

From the perspective of Choi Seong-cheol who is obsessed with performance he cannot afford to neglect a talented person like Jang Yong-hwan.

This was even more so because of the power struggle in the professorial community.

Jang Yong-Hwan is in a neutral position not belonging to either the director faction or the vice director faction.

Depending on where his steps lead the balance of power will be greatly shaken.

Jang Yong-hwan also cannot completely ignore Choi Seong-cheol who is in the position of deputy director.

In the end the two had no choice but to maintain a front line on the outside even though they deeply disapproved of each other on the inside.

“…Well I agree that you are an excellent rider.”

“Is that so? When I analyzed the test score data it was no joke when compared to previous jockeys. “In particular that friend named Shin Seo-jun is a thing.”

“He is a talented student.”

Contrary to his answer Jang Yong-hwan showed a shocked expression.

It was true that the student named Shin Seo-jun was an exceptionally talented student.

At first glance his interpersonal relationships seem to be good and his leadership skills seem to be quite excellent.

‘But for some reason… I have a strange feeling.’

Eyes that seem to be hiding something.

In particular the way he looked at himself from time to time seemed to have a cool aura.

‘And his face. Somewhere…’

However Jang Yong-hwan immediately shook his head to dismiss such thoughts.

His intuition was pretty good but it was not a good idea to rely on intuition and make predictions and prejudices.

Wasn’t he also his student?

“I have my eye on another student.”

So I just said that.

“Oh who? “If there is a student that Professor Jang deserves special mention he is definitely a great student.”

“This is a student named Park Yu-seung.”

“Kek.”

Seongcheol Choi was truly disgusted.

“That friend is a bit.”

“Do you know the student?”

“Any professor who has ever taken a liberal arts class at a business school would not know this. Have you never heard of Park Yoo-seung Business School is a mess? “He also harpooned my Bentley.”

“Has there been such a past?”

Jang Yong-Hwan received the comment as if it was nothing special.

“But now that student’s skills are real. It’s a great gemstone. “He is a student who is not just good at studying but has potential as an investigator.”

“…Well you seem talented.”

Seongcheol Choi reluctantly agreed.

He recalled his work at the Legal Clinic.

I thought he must have been a talented person but he immediately pointed out the hidden issues of the case and arrived at the truth in an instant.

The attitude of persuading and reassuring clients without hesitation.

However I did not want to acknowledge Park Yu-seung.

Personally I have plenty of reasons to dislike him and isn’t he the maternal nephew of the political director Kang Chang-soo?

That’s why Choi Seong-cheol squeezed out one word.

“But law is not a study based solely on talent. “If we don’t make a concerted effort won’t we have no choice but to fall behind again?”

“Student Park Yoo-seung doesn’t try hard?”

“That’s right. I’ve lived my whole life as a fool so how easy would it be to change my mind overnight? “I don’t think it will last long.”

Then Jang Yong-hwan’s eyes lit up.

“If you really think so… how about we make a bet.”

“A bet?”

“The deputy director knows very well how petty I am in raising problems. “We always design it so that grades are calculated based on how much effort you put into studying.”

“That’s famous. Because the ability to differentiate is clear current students’ satisfaction is high.”

“The grading results for the multiple-choice test I gave will arrive soon. I’m betting that Park Yu-seung won first place. If someone else comes in first place let’s assume that the vice director wins.”

“What kind of funny bets are there?”

Seongcheol Choi snorted.

No matter how smart you are or how talented you are if you don’t study diligently every day you won’t be able to get a high score on Jang Yong-Hwan’s exam.

It cannot be denied that Park Yoo-seung has brilliant ideas.

But no matter what Seongcheol Choi couldn’t imagine that idiot attending the library diligently.

Moreover the class taught by Jang Yong-hwan was filled with elites.

Not to mention Shin Seo-jun it was a field filled with a large number of top-ranked students starting from the second and third seats.

Among them anyone can take first place. Isn’t this a bet that Choi Seong-cheol can never lose?

Therefore Choi Seong-cheol came to this conclusion.

‘Professor Jang meets a student he likes for the first time in a long time so he’s being a little pushy.’

Effort is just a basic thing that must be done. Yong-Hwan Jang had declared that his goal was to find students with real talent.

Of course Jang Yong-Hwan gives the best teachings equally to everyone.

But that’s because you can’t know who is a valuable gem unless you teach it.

There had to be a different disciple that I cared more about.

This time it happened to be Park Yoo-seung so it was clear that he was giving a trust that was somewhat out of touch with reality.

In Choi Seong-cheol’s view this was an opportunity to punch Jang Yong-hwan who never showed any weaknesses.

“What are you going to buy?”

“If the Vice Director wins I will support whatever agenda the Vice Director presents at the next faculty meeting. Instead.”

“instead?”

“If I win… that’s right. “When selecting the team for the Jain Legal Argument Competition please vote for the team I nominate.”

“…Jain court argument contest? “Suddenly?”

“Not suddenly. “After the midterm exams the on-campus preliminaries begin immediately so it won’t be long.”

‘Hmm. That’s how it comes out.’

Seongcheol Choi stared at Yonghwan Jang with wide eyes.

The Jain Legal Argument Competition is a competition in which students selected as representatives from each law school across the country exchange legal arguments as if they were in a real court according to a set topic.

To be selected as a representative you must first pass the school preliminaries.

Using mock court facilities legal battles are held similar to the finals and professors analyze and evaluate the results to determine the national team.

In general these school preliminaries boasted fierce competition.

Above all students who advance to the finals and win are exempt from document screening in the process of selecting prosecutors or trial researchers in the future.

‘In other words it doesn’t reflect my performance.’

In places where outstanding students flock such as the Korean University Law School there are quite a few students who are pushed out in academic competition even though their skills are objectively excellent. This is unavoidable because the average level of the group is high.

In order for such students to pass for public positions such as prosecutors or judicial researchers they had no choice but to compensate for their insufficient academic records with performance in the Jain Court Argument Competition.

Therefore Choi Seong-cheol has so far selected the national team mainly from students with poor grades rather than from students who showed outstanding performance in the preliminary examination.

Good students who submitted their grades anyway can produce good results even without these competitions so this is effective in increasing performance.

Students who were pushed out even though they did well may feel that it is reverse discrimination but what can they do?

Fairness was not a value that Choi Seong-cheol considered very important.

‘So you’re saying don’t do that this time?’

Of course it wasn’t a story I really liked.

But more than that I was more interested in the card Jang Yong-hwan presented.

I will support any agenda at least once.

At a time when the power struggle between the director faction and the deputy director faction is tightly balanced if Jang Yong-hwan added his strength most cases could be passed.

There was no way I could refuse such a delicious blank check.

“That’s good. “Let’s do that.”

It’s a bet you can’t lose anyway.

Seongcheol Choi smiled and asked Yonghwan Jang’s proposal.

Then after waiting for a while Jang Yong-hwan’s smartphone vibrated loudly.

“Ah it looks like we’ve arrived.”

Jang Yong-hwan handed out his smartphone to Choi Seong-cheol asking him to check it for himself.

I clicked on the file called ‘grading results.xlsx’ attached to the email from the teaching assistant.

The lower ranks are not even considered anyway.

Seongcheol Choi immediately scrolled up to check the top ranking.

“Who’s in third place… Oh it’s Shin Seo-jun?”

The student who I thought had the greatest chance of coming in first place ended up in third place.

Choi Seong-cheol was momentarily taken aback but quickly changed his mind.

Wasn’t this a test that was suddenly given as Jang Yong-hwan was away?

A multiple-choice test is a highly volatile test and it was natural that there would be some ups and downs if taken without notice.

There are many cases where students who excel at simple memorization achieve better results than students who excel at everything.

“Second place is… Hanseol.”

This student who was second in the entrance exam was such a case.

However even though Choi Seong-cheol’s analysis turned out to be correct he could feel sweat forming on the back of his neck.

Unless the chief or second chair is first place.

Who on earth is this guy sitting at the top of the performance chart?

‘no way. No that can’t be….’

Without realizing it Choi Seong-cheol pushed the screen up to the top of the file with his strong fingers.

and.

“…I can’t believe it.”

“You promised.”

At Jang Yong-hwan’s words Choi Seong-cheol quivered his lips and returned the smartphone.
