I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 39
“Just figure it out.”
“…yes?”
“Whether you secretly return the items and pretend not to know or reveal the truth and offer a sincere apology to each and every person. “It’s up to you to make your own choices.”
Seo Hee-jin blinked as if not understanding the situation.
“Do you forgive me?”
“forgiveness? “Is that possible?”
As I have said repeatedly I have no right to forgive Seo Hee-jin on behalf of others. I have no intention of doing so.
“I have no right to judge you or pardon you. He is just a third party who randomly intervened and accidentally discovered the culprit. “Isn’t it a bit funny that I decide how to treat you?”
So I leave the decision to Seo Hee-jin herself.
“You think your conscience is being tested.”
“It’s called conscience….”
“In light of one’s own sense of justice and morality. Is it appropriate to just return the stolen items and continue living as carelessly as before? Is it still okay? “If it’s not okay what should I do to take responsibility for the damage I caused?”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“Anyway aren’t we all people who came together to become lawyers?”
There must have been a dream.
There must have been a goal.
So wouldn’t you have tried so desperately not to fail?
It is a story about reflecting on how honorable your actions are in light of that dream and ideal and walking down a path that is not shameful.
It is okay for Seo Hee-jin to publicly admit to her crime.
That is also the direction my personal conscience and view of justice want and it will be an opportunity for the weak Seo Hee-jin to reflect on her actions and move forward.
On the other hand even if she just closes her eyes and casts ignorance it can’t be helped.
Because it is not the result of my choice or decision.
In any case this is an ending that Seo Hee-jin opened up herself.
Whether it is in line with justice and equity or not is a matter that Seo Hee-jin must worry about and take responsibility for.
‘Now how are we going to get out?’

We cannot know the weight of dreams carried by others.
So show me.
Your resolve.
Seo Hee-jin who had remained silent for a long time finally opened her mouth softly as if she had made up her mind.
“I am….”
* * *
“So it ended up like this.”
Hanseol pointed to his smartphone with a mysterious expression. What is displayed on the screen is a group chat room with all of my law school classmates.
[There is something I want to tell you.]
Seo Hee-jin’s apology message that started with that phrase was floating around there.
Of course it wasn’t my intention to apologize with just a few text messages.
She announced in detail what she had done and wrote down that she would personally go to each person and return their items and apologize.
‘Well I thought it would turn out like this.’
Seo Hee-jin is not a very strong-willed person.
The fact that I committed theft in the first place was the result of suffering from obsession and anxiety and I was not shameless enough to endure the pangs of conscience.
In the original work he was caught up in Shin Seo-jun’s fake CCTV operation and had to return the items.
It was easy to guess that he would not betray his conscience.
‘That’s what I wanted to believe.’
I am an outsider to this world.
As a reader ‘In the Law School’ was the webtoon I loved more than anything else.
Hankuk University Law School was the stage I dreamed of and longed for and I read each episode envious and admiring all the students who appeared.
That’s why I wanted to give it a chance.
I wanted to believe that I could turn it around.
Since they are novices who have not yet stepped foot in society they may make mistakes and be swayed by temptation.
Even so I was hoping somewhere in my heart that they would be able to face their own mistakes and reflect on themselves.
“How are the kids reacting?”
“A few people turned around and cursed asking how they could do that… but overall the atmosphere seemed to be forgiving. “I think he was originally a good kid who helped those around him well.”
In fact there were even people who offered to help me study saying they were sorry for not noticing that I was mentally concentrated enough to do that.
It seems that Seo Hee-jin’s usual reputation wasn’t that bad.
But no matter what it would never have been seen if a picture of someone being forcibly accused had been drawn.
‘Well I can’t not take responsibility at all.’
It’s not that there are no people to take issue with.
In any case since he touched someone else’s property and caused a disturbance there was still a possibility that he would be subject to some kind of disciplinary action according to school regulations.
‘Now that things are like this it will be difficult to negotiate with the president of the society.’
Compared to the original work in the end rather than helping Seo Hee-jin I ended up pushing her to a more disadvantageous end.
The original idea of trying to soften the sharp attitude of the President of the Real Rights Law Society by showing grace had gone astray.
But that’s not that disappointing.

As I said before it is good to have data and if you don’t have it it is just as good as not to have it.
The presence or absence of data does not change the essence of skill.
If you can’t find a model answer it’s a problem that requires more attention and discussion and you can come up with a solution yourself.
‘Oh by the way I forgot to bring it.’
In order to upload the materials to catch Seo Hee-jin I actually hid the materials related to Civil Law III past exam questions deep in my locker but I forgot to retrieve them.
I was planning on finishing my past exam analysis tonight. I had no choice but to turn towards the reading room.
“for a moment. “You there.”
And in front of him he encountered an unexpected person.
“…President of the Real Rights Law Society?”
Seo Su-jin the president of the Real Rights Law Society a reclusive person who never leaves the dormitory study room was standing in my way.
She replied scratching her matted hair.
“Don’t call me that. Because the Real Rights Law Society has disappeared.”
“Oh yeah.”
I backed away slightly from Seo Su-jin.
Why on earth did you come to me at this time?
Could it be that your younger brother is being disciplined because of you so you came here to point a finger at me and tell me to take responsibility?
When I glanced at him with wary eyes Seo Su-jin who had been averting his gaze here and there reluctantly spoke up.
“Thank you…thank you.”
“yes?”
“I heard you stopped Heejin. “I knew you had a hard time after entering law school but I didn’t know you were under enough pressure to do something like that.”
Perhaps the fact that I as the older sister am like this played a role. Seo Su-jin muttered bitterly.
“I was sorry last time. I was so unstable that I just ended up acting cold. “After I calmed down a bit I looked back and realized that I shouldn’t have reacted like that.”
Seo Su-jin took out a bag of medicine from her pocket and put it in her mouth.
When I was preparing for the bar exam I saw many people taking the same-looking medication prescribed at the hospital so I knew right away that it was a tranquilizer.
‘Did he even go to a psychiatrist?’
“And… I heard you said that.”
“What?”
“Even those who failed must have worked hard. “There were just better people.”
Seo Su-jin touched her forehead with a trembling hand.
“No one told me that. “Everyone pointed their fingers at me and criticized me asking if it was possible for a child of your caliber to fail the test or if I was lazy and negligent.”
But there’s no way she was really lazy.
From the perspective of a law school student becoming president of the law society was not an easy task.
I probably wish I had studied more and researched more than others not less.
Rather it is highly likely that cases like Seo Su-jin faced such a result because they were overwhelmed by too much studying or lost direction and wandered around.
It may be said that I was foolish but I couldn’t help but feel unfair when people called me lazy.
“What can I say… it was a little comforting.”
While saying that Seo Su-jin handed me something that looked like a document.
“Take it.”
“Is this…?”
“You said you were a freshman right? Civil Law III isn’t going to be taught by Professor Jeon Gyu-wan yet. As you can see I am like this and have nothing… but as the former president of the Real Estate Law Society I can do this much.”
The wad of paper that Seo Su-jin held out was the model answer to Jeon Gyu-wan’s previous question that I had been looking for.
When I looked at Seo Su-jin in confusion she turned around waved her hand and left as if running away.
“What is this?”
I was giving up on the model answer but a pumpkin came rolling in from nowhere.
I followed with my eyes the direction where Seo Su-jin had disappeared and opened the bundle of model answers.
“In general it’s similar to what we made.”
At a glance I noticed that although the outlines were similar the detailed precedents were different and there were some parts that introduced unheard of conflicting theories.
This was an element of extra points that I would never have been able to figure out if I hadn’t seen the model answer.
Even though I was dumbfounded the big benefits were clear.
I smiled and turned the pages and suddenly realized that the stack of paper was too thick for the model answer.
“What else is there?”
As I flicked through the pages a bit more documents in a completely different format appeared after the model answers.

[Jeon Gyu-wan]
When I looked at it it turned out to be creative problems and their solutions made by processing the logic of past bar exams created by Professor Kyu-wan Jeon.
The questions of the bar exam were quite different from those of today.
Current bar exams usually split the text into small pieces to ask one issue per question.
This method focuses on how well you know and can explain issues that may be asked rather than on your ability to find issues.
On the other hand during the bar exam vague and comprehensive questions such as ‘Discuss the legal relationship between soldier A and justice’ were often asked.
This is asking how many legal concepts can be caught from a given text and how complex relationships between them can be unraveled.
This is a type that requires deeper understanding and interpretation skills.
As such it was an appropriate task to test the limits of one’s skills but I couldn’t help but feel that it was a bit excessive for preparing for the national exam.
“…Still it’s nice to see you after such a long time.”
In fact this is more familiar to me than the current bar exam and its questions.
The direction of thinking habits and the tempo of reading text are aligned with this.
In fact it was to the point where I had to practice restraint to avoid writing answers that delve too deeply.
Therefore I decided to solve these problems together before the exam.
It might be asking too much to recommend it to others but if I can solve it on my own it’s okay.
If you have time left it wasn’t a bad test of your skills.
Feeling good about the unexpected harvest and the pleasant scent of problems I hummed and went back to my room.
It was a very satisfying day.
* * *
“It was a very unsatisfactory day.”
Seongcheol Choi muttered that while he was locked in his study.
Actually I’m not just dissatisfied today. These days I am dissatisfied every day. Of course the reason was decided.
Seongcheol Choi stared intently at the list of students in his hand.
His eyes were fixed on just one name.
“Park Yu-seung….”
Seongcheol Choi made a groaning sound.
It was now difficult to even count how many times this Korean University graduate had fed him water.
It was a bad relationship that had continued since his undergraduate days and his grades and performance in the legal clinic weren’t enough so he even ended up losing a small bet with Jang Yong-hwan.
“What happened?”
I acknowledged that he had talent but I had no doubt that he was lazy in his efforts.
There’s no way the stale water that has accumulated all your life can fall out like that all at once.
However Park Yoo-seung once again easily overcame the hurdle of Jang Yong-hwan’s problem which could never be overcome without effort.
Seongcheol Choi gritted his teeth.
He was not very familiar with failure or unexpected variables.
Choi Seong-cheol’s career in the financial industry over a dozen years has been filled with nothing but success and he has always achieved whatever he wanted.
However things went awry after I took over as a law school professor.
Of course he quickly rose to the position of vice president but Choi Seong-cheol ended up meeting opponents who were not easy.
Current director Changsoo Kang. That little old man.
And Jang Yong-hwan.
A strange man whose plans I cannot figure out.
In addition even the director’s nefarious nephew was now messing with Choi Seong-cheol’s perfect plans.
“…No we can’t leave it like this.”
Choi Seong-cheol’s pride couldn’t tolerate being embarrassed by a young law school student even though he didn’t know about the other two.
Something has to be done.
We need to set a stage where Park Yoo-seung’s origins will be revealed and his insignificant nature will inevitably be exposed.
“There was a way to do that… yes there was one!”
Choi Seong-cheol who was wandering with nowhere to go caught sight of a wad of paper rolling around on his desk.
It was a commercial law midterm test question for second-year students that Choi Seong-cheol tried to ask but discarded.
The reason for discarding it is simple.
“It’s too difficult.”
These questions were created by refining the logic of issues from the bar exam.
The complexity of the academic depth of thinking required by the bar exam does not fit the current bar exam trend at all.
It may be effective in discriminating among top students but it is not very appropriate for training many students.
It is a reluctant option for the vice president who must consider not only top-ranked output but also the bar exam passing rate.
“…But this is not the time to be bold.”
It was only recently that Park Yoo-seung showed off his skills. It’s safe to say.
No matter how hard I tried I would have had no choice but to accumulate knowledge as if I was cramming for the bar exam in a short period of time.
“Is it possible to respond to these problems in a way as shallow as that thought pavilion?”
If the questions are full of the essence of the bar exam he will most likely have a hard time.
It is not a bad idea to strengthen the first-year students who are the golden standard-bearers.
The more I thought about it the more it seemed like a good idea.
Seongcheol Choi started looking through the bookshelf with a smile on his face saying he remembered a trick.
The materials in his library were not limited to problems created by Choi Seong-cheol himself.
Various works created by other professors based on their research on bar exam questions were often sent to him for reporting purposes.
Since professors’ writing activities are also reflected in the law school’s accreditation evaluation it was natural for me as vice president to keep track of such trends.
“I found it.”
Not long after Choi Seong-cheol took a bundle of paper and put it in my hand placed it on the desk and opened the laptop.
Then I started writing emails to send to first-year professors.
-This is the deputy director. Regarding the questions for this midterm exam…
Seongcheol Choi glanced at the bundle of paper he had just put down.

[Jeon Gyu-wan]
One of the decisive battle weapons he was proud of that could surely put Park Yoo-seung to shame was showing off.
