I Became a Law School Genius – 70



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 70

The first to raise her hand was a female student whose face I had never seen before.

“I’m not asking a question related to the content of the special lecture is that okay?”

“Anything is okay.”

After hearing Jeong Seok-gyu’s answer the female student asked back.

“I would like to ask a question regarding the selection of scholarship students by the Shinyoung Foundation. Are there any specific criteria for selection? Grades and such…”

“That’s an important question huh.”

Jeong Seok-gyu smiled kindly.

As someone who knew very well how demonic nature was hidden behind that mask I was shocked.

“Grades… of course they are important. “Isn’t this the most direct sign of your skills and the hard work you put into acquiring them?”

But Jeong Seok-gyu shook his head saying he didn’t think that was everything.

“You are all brilliant enough to be admitted to law school. This is especially true if you are here at Hankuk University Law School. So rather than being tied to grades I want to look at the vision and story the person has.”

Vision. Story.

“That’s a nice thing to say but… it’s not a practical answer.”

“I guess so.”

I responded to Hanseol.

“That’s just to say that they will select you based on your background.”

“Eck.”

Of course individual achievement is also important. Some people will be selected as scholarship students by the Shinyoung Foundation purely based on their skills.

However since it is a private organization the Shinyoung Foundation’s scholarship application documents allow all personal information to be filled out without filtering.

For example parents’ occupation residence relatives etc.

In fact it was common for success or opportunities for success in society to be given based on such things.

Who said that the best specs are gold spoons?

Considering the real purpose of selecting this ‘scholarship student’ it was not that difficult to guess what Jeong Seok-gyu would look for to secure his future side.

‘It was actually like that in the original.’

In short this was the first step in Jeong Seok-gyu’s grip on Korea University Law School.

Not only is the intention impure but it actually produces not very good results.

At Korea University Law School it often happened that students who decided on a top career path early on would ignore other students or form cliques among themselves.

Invisible conflicts of power took place between those who were confirmed by large law firms and those who were not and there were many cases of underhanded tactics and fraud over opportunities to be selected for public office.

However a new element comes into play here: the Shinyoung Foundation scholarship student.

Scholarship recipients suddenly become successful at law firm internships and are recommended for outside activities and their arrogance skyrockets.

There were also those who boasted and believed that they were a privileged class holding the guarantee of success.

Naturally there are signs of discomfort and conflict in the student society and in that harsh atmosphere all sorts of incidents begin to occur.

‘It’s not good for academics.’

If possible I would like to do something but it was also true that I couldn’t see a clear number at the moment.

For now I’m just sitting there with the intention of gathering information and thinking of countermeasures.

“Another one. “I will only accept one last person…”

The aide who looked like he was about to collapse at any moment asked that question but this time no one raised their hand easily.

In fact the content of the special lecture was probably not something Jeong Seok-gyu had prepared with any sincerity and it was not a topic that students would particularly pay attention to.

In the end if there was anything I was curious about it would be the Shinyoung Foundation issue but it seemed like no one would come forward as the Q&A just confirmed that it would be difficult to expect a perfect answer.

Just as the aide’s face was about to brighten a little.

“This is Seojun Shin a first-year student at Hankuk University Law School.”

Unlike the student from before Shin Seo-jun raised his hand and even said his own name.

After being handed the microphone with the opportunity to speak he stood silently for a moment.

The gaze was directed at Rep. Jeong Seok-gyu without the slightest wavering.

The mouth which was always smiling and showing a secret smile became stiff.

As if Jeong Seok-gyu seemed to be puzzled by this he opened his mouth and was about to pick him up when Shin Seo-jun spat out as if stabbing him.

“…Do you remember?”

“what”

“Two years ago.”

A quiet voice as if something is being suppressed.

“About Lieutenant Shin Seo-ah’s case.”

At that moment the air in the classroom froze.

* * *

That was the end of the special lecture.

Rep. Jeong Seok-gyu left the room saying he didn’t know what he was talking about and Vice President Choi Seong-cheol came out of nowhere and chased the students away telling them to hurry up and leave.

In the empty classroom only Shin Seojun remained.

I also left the first law building among the students rushing out.

I was planning on going to Law Building 2 where the reading room is located or going to the student cafeteria to get a meal but there was a hand holding me.

“you are….”

“This is Yang Seong-tae the chief aide serving Rep. Jeong. “You are Park Yu-seung right?”

It was Jeong Seok-gyu’s aide who looked bloodless.

He who gave his name as Yang Seong-tae asked me if I could spare some time when the congressman asked to see him.

“…You said you would see me? “Now?”

“yes.”

‘Hmm.’

To be honest I wasn’t that reluctant.

My very existence is a variable.

In the original main story Park Yoo-seung is not even mentioned at this point.

There’s no telling what kind of butterfly effect it might cause just by sitting there so what good can there be in getting entangled with the final boss the key character in the scenario?

But it was true that there was no way to avoid it.

Yuseong Group especially its owners Park Geon and Jeong Seok-gyu are quite strongly connected.

There is no way he would have missed the news that the asshole of the Park family suddenly reformed.

When he calls me like this it seems like he’s planning something… If I don’t figure it out properly it becomes more difficult to respond.

In the end they said there was no choice but to go.

“All right. “Where should I go?”

“Oh I’ll take you this way.”

Aide Yang Yang-tae contrary to his vague impression was the type of person who did the job clearly.

In that short period of time he arranged for a Japanese restaurant in the form of a room where the story could not be leaked and called a black-tinted vehicle to transport me.

“uh. “Thank you for your hard work.”

When I knocked on the door of the designated room Jeong Seok-gyu was sitting there.

He appointed his aide Yang Seong-tae as Son Dae-jung and I suddenly found myself standing across from the National Assembly member and addressing him alone.

“Sit down.”

As I sat down Jeong Seok-gyu looked around.

“It’s not bad considering it was arranged in a hurry. “Isn’t it enough to serve Yooseong’s youngest master?”

“…It’s not even possible.”

The soul inside this shell lived a life without knowing a meal more precious than cup noodles.

Although I have managed to adapt to a more comfortable life now I have never forgotten the memories of poverty that were etched into my soul.

Moreover this restaurant was decorated with luxurious Japanese-style props such as flower arrangements and ukiyo-e making it reminiscent of a Japanese restaurant.

At first glance the number of zeros written on the menu seemed a bit odd.

I couldn’t come out until I started complaining.

“You have business to attend to.”

“Haha this guy. What’s so urgent? “Let’s eat first.”

“Because I know you’re a busy person.”

I had no intention of holding a social gathering with the final boss.

Interest flashed in Jeong Seok-gyu’s eyes when he saw my sharp rejection.

“Oh really.”

He shook his head.

“Firearms are definitely back. “It’s completely different from what I saw last year.”

Jeong Seok-gyu cast a searching gaze.

“Have you ever had a chance to make a firm decision?”

He is not stupid. Ears are also open.

He must have always been paying attention to the Park family his biggest sponsor and must have done some research into my transformation.

How do I look now in the eyes of Jeong Seok-gyu?

The prodigal son who had almost thrown away his life until he was in his mid-twenties belatedly began to focus on studying law.

What does this worn-out politician see in me and what kind of picture does he draw?

“There was nothing like that.”

I chose my words carefully.

“I just found my dream too late.”

“It’s a dream so that’s good.”

Jeong Seok-gyu poured sake into his own glass. He asked me if I wanted a drink but of course I declined since I had to study in the evening when I got back.

“nice.”

Jeong Seok-gyu took a sip of his drink and took a deep breath.

“Yoo Seung. “What is your dream?”

“I will be a prosecutor.”

“…is that all?”

“yes.”

That’s all I’ll tell you. With that meaning in mind.

Our eyes met each other on the table.

Just when there was a strange tension and the silence seemed to continue there was a knock on the door.

The food has arrived.

“Why don’t you come in?”

A feast of dazzling Japanese cuisine was spread out on the table.

Is this called kaiseki cuisine?

I did not necessarily refuse this invitation. Because there is no sin in delicious cooking.

“Yoo Seung-kun.”

Jeong Seok-gyu said as he was stuffing lily tofu into his mouth.

“I think very highly of your potential.”

The tofu itself had no taste but its light texture naturally invited me to the next pair of chopsticks.

I picked up the monkfish liver and seasoned vegetables and poured them all into one mouthful.

‘…is it delicious?’

Indeed expensive dishes were expensive.

“Even students who have developed the habit of studying throughout their lives usually don’t achieve the same level of accomplishments as you. The talent itself is different from its roots. “Maybe you will become as great a lawyer as your grandfather.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“But it seems like that talent isn’t limited to law.”

Jeong Seok-gyu’s eyes sparkled.

“Decision on successor. “I thought it was postponed?”

“!”

How much do you know about the internal circumstances of this human family?

“According to the original plan Park Geon was planning to confirm a successor by the middle of last month. He probably chose Taeyang. “Because he is better suited as a leader than the somewhat emotional Miss Minha.”

However as time passed there was no sign of a successor being decided.

On the contrary movements within companies that had been preparing for this came to a halt.

Jeong Seok-gyu deduced from this that some kind of ‘variable’ had occurred that caused Park Geon to decide not to finalize the succession plan.

“And that… if you look at Amman there is nothing other than your rapid rise Yoo Seung.”

“….”

“How on earth did you roast and boil that stubborn friend Park Geon?”

Baked and boiled. This is nonsense. I was simply struggling to secure the right to continue attending law school.

It was Park Geon who evaluated and made his own judgment.

“What do you want to say?”

“Succession competition. “Aren’t you planning on jumping into it in earnest?”

Jeong Seok-gyu’s answer to my question was unconventional.

“If it’s okay with you I plan to fully support you. what do you think about it?”
