    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 50

    After confirming our victory we immediately left the moot court.

    Jeong Min-sik was still standing behind me but there was no need to worry about him anymore.

    Now take care of it.

    ‘As soon as something was over it seemed like Bae Hyeon-joong came over and started talking…’

    There are a lot of things to take care of.

    I don’t know what Bae Hyeon-joong was thinking about being there or what he was talking about but it wasn’t a category I needed to pay attention to.

    Didn’t I show enough tolerance at this level?

    Let bygones be bygones.

    It was time for me to look ahead and leave those left behind to write new stories among themselves.

    “Ugh anyway I’m done. “Everyone worked hard.”

    Hanseol stopped walking and stretched.

    “What am I? “He did all the hard work.”

    Lee Haru pointed to the ‘Nalmeok’ icon on the laptop screen and received the comment.

    “Oh by the way did you get any data?”

    Suddenly I had a crazy thought and asked Lee Haru.

    Wasn’t the purpose of her participation in the competition to collect data needed to improve raw food?

    “yes.”

    Lee Haru nodded and raised his thumb.

    “I have no idea where the error is coming from. It seems difficult when texts with different formats and grammatical contexts are put together… There are ways to do this.”

    The improvement in Nalmuk’s performance is welcome.

    There will be many things I will use in the future.

    Currently the focus is on summarizing complex legal documents but as enough data is accumulated it will be possible to advance to providing solutions to legal problems on one’s own.

    Then I can use it to review my judgment or get ideas.

    Haru needs me to get the materials needed to improve performance and I use her program for free to help me get things done more efficiently.

    It is a perfect reciprocal symbiotic relationship.

    “Now that you’ve done one thing let’s go to the game room?”

    “Well this match is only just beginning. Rather now is the time to get really busy.”

    That was clearly true.

    He had only achieved his first victory but if he wanted to win the preliminaries and become the representative of Korea University Law School he would have to face a team made up of second-year seniors.

    In particular among the second-year students who took on the challenge of becoming a detective there was one real monster.

    To be honest this is an opponent you can’t be sure you can beat even if you give your all.

    ‘Okay we’ve only just crossed the first hurdle.’

    “Hmph.”

    “I’m like a law school student so what’s this?” “You’re starting to look more like an adult now…”

    “Hing.”

    Lee Ha-ru stuck out his tongue and ran away.

    “Ugh let’s not talk.”

    “What do you think? Haru looks good like that. “It heals you when you look at it.”

    “Where is this game junkie?…”

    Instead of answering Hanseol chuckled. I looked at her for a moment and remembered what I needed to say.

    “Oh and thanks to you I survived this time.”

    “huh?”

    “I’m talking about the precedent of the law of enhanced confession. “I never would have thought that a precedent that was so outdated that it could not even be computerized would become an issue.”

    “Hehe my method is quite useful too isn’t it?”

    Hanseol straightened his shoulders as if he was proud.

    ‘Quite something.’

    As I have said many times Hanseol’s study method is the best if you can master it.

    The reason I can’t do that is because my brain capacity is not infinite like this walking human copier.

    As a mere ordinary person there is no choice but to pursue efficiency.

    “Anyway I won thanks to you.”

    “90% of the victory is yours. “If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have come up with the idea to shake up the illegality of evidence.”

    After congratulating each other on our contributions and deciding on a schedule for our next meeting I parted ways with Hanseol and left the building.

    As I told Haru there was a lot of work left to do.

    ‘You should especially look at the Special Criminal Act.’

    In this game alone the crime of drunk driving stipulated in the Road Traffic Act not a crime under the general criminal law was on the question.

    It’s a shame that I studied to some extent but if I didn’t know the Widmark formula I would have wasted time there needlessly.

    Considering that time was tight we had to prepare more thoroughly.

    That’s why I was about to hurry my steps.

    Clap clap clap.

    “It was a great argument.”

    Even though it was a refreshing voice a somewhat uneasy voice called out to me.

    “Why are you here…”

    “It’s been a long time since freero.”

    When I look back he is ranked #1 on the list of people I don’t want to get involved with no matter what happens.

    “How have you been? Mr. Park Yu-seung.”

    Shin Seo-jun the main character of this world was looking at me with a mysterious smile.

    ‘…How long has this been happening?’

    The mock court is located on the third basement floor of the Law School.

    Since there were no other facilities it was a place with no reason to visit unless you were a third-year student taking a mock trial class or a student coming down for a legal argument competition.

    The problem was that the first preliminary match in the civil affairs field in which Shin Seo-jun participated was held yesterday.

    Shin Seo-jun confidently overwhelmed the opposing team and easily achieved victory.

    So there was no reason to come here today.

    …Unless you came to watch someone else’s game.

    ‘I have a bad feeling.’

    “Didn’t I tell you this last time? “I have nothing to talk about with you.”

    I waved my hand at Shin Seo-jun as if to tell him to go away.

    “And it would be the same there.”

    During free play Shin Seo-jun was clearly disappointed in me and left.

    Although he is crooked he is a person with his own sense of justice.

    In fact the quality is worse.

    This is because they have a firm belief that everything they do is absolutely necessary and therefore justifiable.

    I delivered a clear message to Shin Seo-jun.

    I am a worthless snob who only sees the law as a means to an end so please do not try to get involved.

    It was undoubtedly the human image that Shin Seo-jun hated the most.

    “Aha I did.”

    Shin Seojun’s eyes narrow.

    “But… I’ve changed my mind recently.”

    A cunning snake-like gaze flew out and stuck in me.

    ‘Hey man why is this happening?’

    “The serial theft incident that happened last time.”

    “!”

    “Actually one of my friends also had his secret book stolen and asked me to help solve it. I was preparing to try my hand somehow but Seo Hee-jin suddenly turned herself in. “I’m so glad.”

    “…I don’t know what you want to say.”

    “Is that so?”

    Shin Seojun smiled.

    “Then let’s leave it at that. “For now.”

    He said he knew everything.

    ‘Did you get caught?’

    Apparently Shin Seo-jun realized that I was the mastermind behind solving the serial theft case.

    Indeed one of the heads was as good as a ghost. Should I say that I have a good feeling?

    “If you caught me just to talk about something I don’t understand I’ll go back. “I have a lot of work to do to prepare for the competition.”

    “Oh wait a minute! Actually that competition.”

    Shin Seo-jun pretended to be flustered and changed the topic.

    “Park Yoo-seung you are aiming to become the head of the detective field at Hankuk University right?”

    “no.”

    “yes?”

    “What I’m aiming for is higher.”

    I blurted out.

    “I will win this competition. “Becoming a law school representative is something I must do.”

    “Haha as expected….”

    Shin Seojun let out a small exclamation.

    “What a wonderful spirit. But even for Park Yoo-seung it won’t be that easy.”

    “Why?”

    “There is a huge mountain lurking in the detective field of this competition.”

    I realized what he was saying.

    “If you say Taesan… do you mean second-year senior Gu Min-hwan?”

    “Oh do you know?”

    “You can’t not know.”

    Gu Minhwan.

    He graduated from the same police academy as Shin Seo-jun and was several grades higher than him.

    ‘In other words he is a person who has worked as a current police officer.’

    ‘I came to law school while working’ in other occupations and having a police background have completely different implications.

    This is especially true for those who graduated from the police academy and worked as an officer in the investigation at a front-line police station.

    ‘Because we use things we only read in books while working every day. The starting line is different in the first place.’

    While ordinary law school students talk about the requirements for seizure and arrest they smile bitterly as they recall the arduous memories of applying for a seizure warrant and arguing with prosecutors.

    When someone underlines the concept of ‘notice of the right to refuse to speak’ a scene is played in the mind of a former police officer where they catch the criminal sit him down and then repeat the manual-like line ‘You have the right to remain silent…’

    If you think about it normally it can’t be a game.

    Those who worked as current police officers show excellent adaptability to law studies and it is nearly impossible to catch up with them especially in relation to criminal law.

    Even the person in question Gu Min-hwan if I remember correctly was a person who took the lead in solving an unsolved case and was even promoted to the rank of inspector in recognition of his contribution.

    A specialist in investigative practice submitted his application to the criminal field of the legal argument competition.

    Anyone could have predicted that there would be more than one person who would be so shocked by the news alone that they would run away.

    “I don’t know. “At least he’s a senior in your department.”

    But what I know is only so much.

    This is because Goo Min-hwan is also a character who only appears in one or two scenes with a simple setting in the original work.

    In this episode of the legal argument competition Koo Min-hwan sweeps the preliminaries as if it were a given and participates in the final round of the legal argument competition as a representative of Korea University Law School along with Shin Seo-jun’s team.

    In the process his appearance was all about establishing a slight confrontation with Shin Seo-jun as if something had happened in the past.

    I thought it would play a big role in the future because it was portrayed with some force but instead it just became a Macguffin without much description after that even in the courtroom argument episode.

    That’s why I know he’s a great human being but I don’t know anything more than that.

    Shin Seojun listened to what I said and shook his head.

    “That’s right….”

    Then out of the blue he made a suggestion.

    “I know him personally. Actually I don’t know a little I know ‘a lot’. So… if it’s okay with Mr. Park Yoo-seung.”

    Shin Seojun smiled.

    “I’d like to give you some information about Senior Minhwan… How do you feel?”

    “…what?”

    “As Mr. Park Yoo-seung knows the essence of this competition is not much different from the debate competitions held by middle and high school students.”

    It was as Shin Seo-jun pointed out.

    For and against. Guilt and innocence. There was an infinite similarity in the structure of throwing up a subject matter that divides two clearly conflicting positions and then fighting to see if each person’s argument and logic were correct.

    Therefore unlike ‘exams’ or ‘competitions’ this legal argument competition has a unique feature.

    “In the sense that the ‘enemy’ exists.”

    Shin Seojun nodded at my point.

    What needs to be fought is not the problem itself.

    This is the ‘other party’ sitting in front of the speaking table across from us.

    To put it to the extreme in a legal argument contest even if our team has no idea about the topic presented we can still win if the other team deducts a lot of points by saying absurd nonsense.

    “That is why… how much you know about the enemy can also be a key variable in determining victory or defeat.”

    ‘It’s a story that can’t be denied.’

    What the other person knows and doesn’t know.

    In what areas are you strong and in what areas are your weaknesses revealed?

    What is the nature and background of the habit of designing arguments?

    Knowing these things makes it much easier to come up with estimates when designing your argument.

    For example when dealing with Jeong Min-sik this time I had a rough idea of ​​how much Jeong Min-sik had prepared for criminal procedure law.

    He has enthusiasm and excellent fundamentals.

    Of course if I had been given two weeks I would have been able to master at least the core provisions that form the framework of the litigation law.

    However the schedule was too tight to learn about in-depth issues.

    Therefore he could hardly respond to attacks that raised issues such as ‘illegally collecting evidence of autographs’ or ‘laws on confessions and reinforcement of confessions in trial court’.

    From the beginning we thought that would be the case and designed the attack method that way.

    On the other hand I don’t really know anything about Gu Min-hwan who I will be dealing with in the future.

    Naturally it was impossible to come up with an estimate for the other side and design a claim.

    It was clear that I had secretly hoped that it would be good to have a little more information.

    ‘The problem is that it was this guy who brought it.’

    I thought while glaring at Shin Seojun.

    “Haha you’re doing too much. “Have I done anything to warrant such caution?”

    ‘I did. loads. I plan to do so in the future.’

    I was deliberately avoiding it so I couldn’t see it in person but if it had gone like the original Shin Seo-jun would have already reached out to the pieces of chess to use as he pleases.

    Jeong Min-sik is probably one of them.

    Perhaps it was Shin Seo-jun who fueled his complex and pushed him into this confrontation.

    “What is the price?”

    I asked the guy.

    “What is the price?”

    “What do you mean by price?”

    However Shin Seo-jun just responded in a natural manner.

    “There is no such thing. Well to put it bluntly I kind of wish that Park Yoo-seung would defeat senior Min-hwan.”

    A strange light flashed through the guy’s pupils.

    “I don’t like that person very much.”

    I knew that because there was a scene in the original where they confronted each other as if they were disapproving. The problem was that we did not know why or to what extent the conflict was being created.

    ‘Don’t take this.’

    The benefits that can be gained are clear. Fighting an opponent you know is much easier than fighting an enemy you don’t know.

    On the other hand risk is uncertain. However I am not very willing to follow Shin Seo-jun’s wishes and more than anything there is nothing good about being tangled up with this guy for a long time.

    I move the scale in my mind around.

    Eventually a decision was made.
