I Became a Law School Genius – 44



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 44

“Of course I should go out.”

There is no room for argument there.

“also! “Then your name will be written on the team member list?”

“But I’m not going out with you.”

“…uh why why?”

Hanseol looks back with a hurt expression.

“You’re saying you don’t need me now that you’ve gotten better at studying?”

“Is that really true?”

Among the people I can find there is no teammate more reliable than Hanseol.

The rules of this court argument competition are very similar to the second free evaluation.

They are presented with various records and materials related to a given case and must construct and argue a legal argument in a short period of time.

Absolute lack of time.

Even if search is allowed the side that is familiar with many precedents and legal principles is bound to have an advantage.

Although I am not inferior in this respect the amount of information is different from Han Seol who chews and swallows whole collections of precedents.

“Then why?”

“It’s simple.”

I answered.

“You’re going to civil service. “I’m going to be a detective.”

The Jain Court Argument Competition is divided into civil and criminal sectors.

Of course preliminary rounds will be held separately for each law school and a total of two teams will be selected one for each field.

In the original work Hanseol applied to run for office in the civil affairs field.

In fact not only she but most of the top students applied to the civil affairs field.

In order to participate in the argument contest you need to know not only substantive law but also procedural law and since you will be learning civil procedure law next semester participating in the contest is efficient as it serves as prior learning.

Since criminal procedure law is a subject that can only be tasted in the second year there is no need to take it already… This was a common perception and a tip passed down by seniors.

‘But I’m not.’

Prior learning? I’ve been getting sick of that for over ten years.

Anyway I planned to re-learn all of the litigation law by the end of the first semester and summer vacation.

In that case there was no reason to be tied to civil affairs.

A subject I am more confident in and like.

That’s detective so I choose detective.

Therefore unfortunately I could not compete on the same team as Han Seol who was going to participate in the civil affairs competition.

“I also feel sorry for losing a reliable ally like you. But now that it’s like this there’s nothing I can do…”

“Am I going to become a detective too?”

“…Huh?”

What does this mean again?

“Why?”

“Civil studies are advantageous for doing good deeds next semester but choosing criminal studies doesn’t mean you can’t do good deeds in civil procedure law.”

Hanseol pointed at me.

“And because I need you Park Yoo-seung to win.”

“What?”

“As you know I am weak in applications. “I am confident in writing down what I know but it is difficult to analyze and break down a problem I am seeing for the first time and find an answer.”

Hanseol solved this problem with an enormous amount of input.

If you are vulnerable to unfamiliar things you can make sure that nothing you see in the exam room is unfamiliar.

However there are limits to dealing with completely new stages such as the second evaluation of Freero or this debate competition in that way.

“Of course you will try your best like you did in free-ro… but after all this is your specialty.”

I’m not saying I’m going to take the bus.

We’re talking about joining forces because we each do what we’re best at.

I was lost in thought as I looked at Han Seol who was smiling awkwardly.

‘It’s different from the original.’

Hanseol was destined to compete in civil affairs.

Then he faced off against Shin Seo-jun who also chose civil affairs and lost the match handing over the position of representative of Hankuk University Law School to Shin Seo-jun’s team.

It was an opportunity for the narrative that had been building up since the beginning of the semester crossing between rivals colleagues and more starting to become complicated.

However in this world because I was there from the beginning there was almost no contact between Han Seol and Shin Seo Jun.

– If that guy asks to do something like study he’ll be fierce.

– why?

– Because it will be safer that way.

-What are you talking about….

There were some parts that I intentionally erased.

If you become involved with Shin Seo-jun you will be caught up in the spectacular second half of the original story and end up like an expendable item.

I didn’t want to abandon such a reliable support group like that.

Han Seol was not particularly friendly towards Shin Seo-jun so he followed my advice even though he was skeptical.

Because of that the story has already changed a lot from the original as far as she is concerned but I never thought it would unfold differently until the debate contest.

‘Not bad… okay?’

In the original work Hanseol was just one of the pieces that Shin Seo-jun could conveniently move.

Her presence or absence has very little influence on the main story.

Why is there a case where readers’ dopamine is stimulated by depicting them as if they have acquired a great ally or valuable item in the early part of the work but in the latter half of the work it is reduced to no real presence?

Hanseol was such a case.

Would there be any problem if Han Seol changed the field of participation or won the legal argument contest?

After weighing it for a while I decided that I didn’t have one.

“If you say so.”

I nodded.

“Thank you team leader.”

“huh. me too.”

With a satisfied smile Hanseol filled out the participation application form.

As I watched it I immediately realized one thing.

“But isn’t this a three-person team?”

“right?”

“Who will the other one be?”

First of all Lee Ha-ru is eliminated.

If I took him there it was clear that he would play games until the day before the finals and then fall asleep on site.

I’m barely able to do what I need to do but it’s still a long way to go to expect me to do my part in a competition like this.

‘There was no way he would do it in the first place.’

I already tried talking to Taewoon Yoo but he declined saying that after going through the midterm exams he needed to work harder on his studies.

Yoo Ye-seul and Kim Seung-pil also said they had other schedules.

Nowadays it is not easy to find new members.

This is because the name Park Yu-seung is still looked down upon by his peers.

There was one opportunity for improvement in the Constitutional Court’s thesis case but in the process of resolving the Seo Hee-jin issue all those who approached were rejected so it felt like an even more isolated island than before.

“I have a secret weapon.”

However Hanseol confidently declared.

“Would you be surprised if you found out?”

“Who on earth are you…?”

* * *

The news that the preliminaries for the Jain Legal Argument Contest had been announced spread quickly.

Most of the top students seemed to have considered participating at least once.

It was the same for Shin Seo-jun and those around him.

“Let’s do it together. Mr. Jeong Min-sik.”

Shin Seo-jun tapped Jeong Min-sik on the shoulder in a rather friendly manner.

Jeong Min-sik who has consistently held the third seat since his free days was a very valuable financial resource.

However Jeong Min-sik slapped Shin Seo-jun’s hand away and gave a short reply.

“I won’t.”

“Uh why?”

Shin Seojun asked as if he was surprised.

It was unexpected for him.

He knew that Jeong Min-sik had a strangely ambivalent jealousy towards him but even more than that he thought that if Jeong Min-sik had a strong sense of resonance he would definitely join his team to win the championship.

But Jeong Min-sik had his own thoughts.

‘I can’t be covered in this bastard’s shadow forever!’

I admit that Shin Seo-jun is outstanding. And I don’t hate it as a person either.

His fault is that he’s so perfect that he doesn’t smell like a person but isn’t he still being quite nice to Jung Min-sik himself?

Receiving the trust of an excellent human being and receiving envious looks from others satisfied Jeong Min-sik’s self-esteem in his own way.

However Shin Seo-jun’s existence was also the culprit that damaged his self-esteem.

– But both of them are truly amazing. At the entrance ceremony I got first place and third place and at the first round I got first place and third place and my overall rank was first place and third place. It just doesn’t change.

– Look at Jeong Min-sik. Even now I’m watching multiple choice OX on my phone. There’s a reason for everything.

– Seojun plays tennis goes out for drinks and does everything he can but he is in first place.

– This guy… he’s just in a different weight class.

Min-sik Jeong recalled a conversation he heard at the Legal Clinic the other day.

‘Damn it I know!’

Shin Seo-jun who always maintains first place in a relaxed and dignified manner.

On the other hand he devoted all his waking hours to studying and worked hard but he barely managed to get a third place so he was nothing more than an ordinary person.

Not even second place.

Sitting right above him was Hanseol a monster with outrageous memorization skills.

It feels like you’re dying to study but the performance itself as a study machine is simply inferior.

This can’t be happening. It shouldn’t be like this.

I work harder than anyone else. I should be the best.

Otherwise it has no meaning…

Whenever he looked away from his book even for a moment such dark thoughts ran through Jeong Min-sik’s mind.

Therefore for him this Jain Court Argument Competition was an opportunity.

It is almost impossible to beat Shin Seo-jun sexually anyway.

But wouldn’t it be a different story if it were a competition?

Going on the same team as Shin Seo-jun was a handshake.

Even if a good result was achieved there was a high possibility that Shin Seo-jun’s performance would be buried in the process and it was fortunate that there was no stigma or stigma attached to being on the bus driven by Shin Seo-jun.

That was the reason why Jeong Min-sik wanted to go out as an independent team.

It would be the best scenario to beat Shin Seo-jun and win but I knew very well that realistically it would be difficult.

In that case we should at least show them standing shoulder to shoulder.

“I’m going out as a detective.”

That was Jeong Min-sik’s conclusion.

“You won the civil affairs preliminaries and represent civil affairs. I will win as a detective and represent a detective. “Let’s meet at the top.”

I was confident.

The criminal field was likely to be empty anyway.

Most of the top students who are sincere and good at studying are flocked to civil affairs jobs where they can combine prior learning.

Even Shin Seo-jun who had mastered all of criminal law was competing in civil affairs.

Most of the students who applied for detectives were in the lower to middle class.

The goal is to somehow overcome the lack of academic performance and use it as a stepping stone to get appointed to a public office.

There was no way I could lose to those bastards.

Jeong Min-sik knew very well that his eyes were twisted as he always looked at the unreachable ceiling and that countless people were crushed beneath his feet.

However Shin Seo-jun poured cold water on that confidence.

“It won’t be easy.”

“what? “Are you saying I’m going to lose to a detective or some other idiot?”

“Please stop calling your classmates ‘Palpoon’. “They are all smart and capable people.”

Rather than that Shin Seojun shook his head.

“This detective will probably come out.”

“That person? “Who are you talking about?”

“You know. “That Park Yoo-seung.”

“…!”

‘okay. clearly.’

Shin Seojun swallowed his sleep.

Park Yoo-seung was someone who caught his attention from the beginning of the semester.

The sense of finding hidden clues between the lines of a question and weaving an answer based on a solid understanding of basic legal principles.

Although others may not know Shin Seo-jun recognized at a glance that his talent was real.

Therefore we contacted them but received a disappointing response so we excluded them from inclusion.

Park Yoo-seung’s view of justice was the kind that Shin Seo-jun detested and there seemed to be no room to delve into and take advantage of.

But now that quite a bit of time has passed even that is doubtful.

‘It’s strange.’

His performance in the legal clinic is understandable.

Jang Yong-hwan’s leadership team required performance results so he must have wanted to actively utilize his talents to score points.

However in the recent theft incident Park Yoo-seung made a somewhat strange move.

By distributing a summary of Professor Han Il-gu’s thesis he was able to use it to improve his own position.

But instead of doing that he turned away all the people who came to him to get information and became even more alone.

If that was going to be the case why did they show off the data in the first place?

Did he simply want to deceive? That wasn’t very likely.

Rather considering that it was Park Yoo-seung who tackled Seo Hee-jin’s presentation afterwards…

‘On purpose to lure out the criminal Seo Hee-jin?’

They advertise in the neighborhood that they have valuable data in their possession attract criminals and plant false information in the data to create evidence that is difficult to uncover.

What if it was like that?

But what does Park Yoo-seung gain by solving the case? It was not an appropriate behavior for him who had taken the attitude that ‘being good at law is justice’ and had no interest in right and wrong.

It’s hard to fathom.

And the presence of an unfathomable human being was not a good sign.

Seojun Shin had a purpose for entering Hankuk University Law School.

It’s a bit different and perhaps quite personal than just working hard to become a lawyer.

Therefore it was not welcome to see a human who could not be controlled or used hanging around.

‘Let’s find out more.’

Maybe we can get some more clues about Jeong Min-sik by having him collide with Park Yoo-seung.

After finishing the calculation Shin Seo-jun sounded slightly worried.

“Jeong Min-sik is excellent but Park Yoo-seung is not an easy opponent. “You know that I’m the type that shines especially on stages like this.”

“Are you saying I’m going to lose to that guy?”

As expected Jeong Min-sik went on a rampage.

“Don’t be funny. “You might not know it but I’m not that bad of a person to be caught by a piece of trash who wasted my entire life.”

“Of course I support Jeong Min-sik.”

“Don’t support me but believe me!”

Jeong Min-sik who was grinning opened the door and went out.

‘This should be enough.’

Jeong Min-sik had a strong complex about not getting results compared to his efforts.

You may be wondering how a third-year student at Hankuk University Law School ‘didn’t get any results’ but there were people of this type in the world.

Park Yoo-seung was someone who directly touched Jeong Min-sik’s complex.

Hasn’t the person who was known for his unresponsiveness now reached right under Jeong Min-sik’s chin?

Just the thought of being overtaken made Jeong Min-sik literally risk his life in the fight.

Life or death.

If you’re fighting with all your might you’ll see something.
