I Became a Law School Genius – 87



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 87

A few hours before the scene where Go Cheol-soo catches Park Yoo-seung leaving work.

Go Cheol-soo came to see Shin Seo-jun who was taking a break from his assignment. He told me to come out for a moment because I have something to talk about.

“sorry.”

Go Cheol-soo who called Shin Seo-jun from behind the building let out a groaning sound.

“Why are you doing this Mr. Lawyer?”

“I tried to do my best to get my junior confirmed… but because of that guy.”

“iced coffee.”

Shin Seojun smiled bitterly.

Shin Seo-jun never knew why this distant senior treated him favorably.

There is no kindness in this world without a price. The request was to become a support base that would increase Go Cheol-soo’s influence if confirmed.

‘…I don’t have time to play around with office politics like that.’

The reason I applied for the Jin & Ahn internship in the first place was because there was something I needed to find out.

The last thing I wanted was to be stranded by Go Cheol-soo’s useless ‘help’.

So he was deliberately trying to draw attention to Park Yoo-seung.

Go Cheol-soo was completely unaware of Shin Seo-jun’s true intentions.

He had no doubt that this handsome junior was on his side.

Therefore there was only one person who was like a thorn in Go Cheol-soo’s eyes.

“Oh by the way. “I don’t know where that damn top came from.”

Park Yu-seung.

He was a guy who casually completed assignments that were targeted so that people who had been a police officer or studied law for a long time could easily complete them.

He stood out in lectures by seniors garnering attention and emerged as a strong confirmation candidate for this season.

Because of this Go Cheol-soo’s plan went completely awry.

“I don’t know what the other lawyers liked about that sloppy guy so much…”

‘Hmm.’

Shin Seo-jun was lost in thought as he watched Go Cheol-soo grumbling.

‘I quickly researched everything that needed to be investigated. It’s time to get rid of this annoying senior.’

After talking with Go Cheol-soo several times Shin Seo-jun had gained some understanding of him.

Ko Cheol-soo’s position within the company was quite isolated.

This is because he was not included in the ‘inner circle’ created by prosecutors who graduated from Korea University.

Because of this I was unable to communicate with other seniors in a timely manner and as the situation continued for a long time my sense of intellect was clouded by my accumulated sense of inferiority and blind desire for success.

In short he was a person who would not hesitate to take somewhat unreasonable measures to achieve his goals.

‘Then… how about something like this?’

“I can’t help it.”

Shin Seojun made up a glum expression.

“Because that friend is good at it. …He is a classmate with such great skills that he ‘dreams of becoming a prosecutor.’”

Go Cheol-soo quickly asked for the rice cake that Shin Seo-jun offered.

“hmm?”

“In fact you can’t even dream with average skills. The career path of being a prosecutor. “There are many classmates at school who believe that that friend will be tested.”

“for a moment. “Is that true?”

“yes. That’s how excellent it is…”

“No not that one. “I want to be a prosecutor.”

A look that said “This is it” flashed on Go Cheol-soo’s face.

Originally Jin & An did not like the so-called ‘two-legged people’ who aspired to or held public office very much.

In the past there was a famous case of a student who received a confirmation but was accused while preparing for a law clerk and had the confirmation canceled.

“It will be right. I also applied for and joined the leadership class taught by a former prosecutor. “The professor is an expert at helping students get tested.”

‘I could use this.’

Go Cheol-soo thought so after hearing the story.

Now that I think about it it seemed like there were signs of that in the assignments written by a guy named Park Yoo-seung.

I didn’t want to look at it in detail so I just skimmed over it and couldn’t understand it properly.

‘How dare you come as an intern at Jin & Ahn while thinking about a different career path?’

The corners of his mouth went up.

‘It just caught on.’

However it was a shame to just tell this to other seniors.

It was true that Jin & An had a tendency to dislike lamb legs but these interns were still only freshmen.

On the other hand all full-scale civil service preparation courses begin in the second semester of the second year.

At this stage even if I accused him of saying ‘This guy is going to go to public office’ I wouldn’t be able to present very solid evidence.

At that level they cannot force Park Yoo-seung to abandon the confirmation which is almost confirmed.

But… it could be used as material to scare a first-year student who doesn’t know anything about the world.

‘It seems to be famous among law students that our company has taken a firm stance on concurrent public service.’

Go Cheol-soo glanced at Shin Seo-jun.

I think this junior may have brought this up on purpose to tell me to move on.

When our eyes met Shin Seojun smiled.

Go Cheol-soo also smiled when he saw that smile.

“I think I found a way. “Hehe.”

“I always trust the lawyer.”

‘Smart friend.’

I felt like if I joined the company this time I would be a pretty dependable supporter.

Since he came right after graduating and has never worked in an organization before he already knows how to do behind-the-scenes work like this. It was extremely satisfying.

But Go Cheol-su who was excited did not notice.

The fact that the eyes of his beloved junior were not smiling at all.

* * *

“You want to be a prosecutor. huh? I can understand just by looking at the reports you submitted. “And at school I heard that he joined a guidance professor’s class for aspiring prosecutors.”

Gocheolsu was laughing in front of me.

“And yet you applied to be our intern? “Don’t you know that all the people who have held public office jobs have been fired and Jin & Ahn have been blacklisted?”

“No that’s it.”

I swallowed a bitter smile inside.

‘Your seniors say I’m fine?’

Everything Go Cheol-soo pointed out was true but as far as I was concerned all the seniors who had decided on hiring had already given the OK for a long time.

For some reason Go Cheol-soo seemed to have no idea that our conversation had already ended.

‘Is that how much it was going around among seniors?’

In other words Go Cheol-soo’s threats were of a nature that did not threaten me at all.

If I reveal the truth here my face will turn red and I will run away.

That might be a pretty refreshing scene but is it enough?

If I were the only one who suffered from Gocheolsu’s manipulations that would be enough. But in reality that wasn’t the case.

His efforts to push his juniors caused other students to feel alienated and the method of selecting assignments could not be seen as very fair.

Even Shin Seo-jun the person in question seemed reluctant so in the end this person was causing trouble to all the detective interns for personal reasons.

If so shouldn’t there be a price to pay?

“…All right.”

After thinking about it I lowered my head pretending to agree.

“haha. Good idea. It would be better to miss out by mistake than to be picked on by Jin & Ahn seniors. That way if you change your mind later you can apply again in the first winter or second summer. “Make a concession this time.”

Leaving behind the excited Gocheolsu’s chatter he packed his bags and left the office.

Suddenly I became curious.

What if they found out that the ‘talented person’ they had worked so hard to bring in by breaking their beliefs had skipped the necessary procedures for hiring because of someone’s threats?

How will those seniors react?

* * *

The last day of Jin & Ahn’s first-year summer internship.

The legal discussion seminar is the finale and the most important part of the confirmation.

At the scene interns in the criminal field were gathered around a table and fiercely arguing about the topic.

“That friend Shin Seo-jun also has considerable skills.”

“Over there Baek Seo-yul the intern is quite… The fact that he seems too competitive is a drawback.”

Senior lawyers standing a step away from them watched the discussion and entered scores on the evaluation sheet in real time.

Seong Jin-tae the general manager of this recruitment process as well as lawyers including Choi Soo-gil who gave a special lecture were all in attendance today.

Of course Go Cheol-soo who was in charge of guiding these interns was also there.

Every time Shin Seo-jun gets a good evaluation he can’t hide his grinning expression.

“This is a high-level discussion.”

Seong Jin-tae summarized it like this.

It was natural that students who could intern at Jin & Ahn had outstanding skills.

However this time perhaps because of the unique selection process used there were students who stood out even after taking this into account.

The seniors who were watching them and talking to each other suddenly sighed as if they were sad.

“But that friend Park Yoo-seung didn’t come?”

“I don’t know. After much deliberation I guess I decided to give up on confirmation…”

“He was a friend I really wanted to pick.”

It was just as they said. Although the students in attendance were showing off their outstanding skills the intern that the senior lawyers initially paid the most attention to and wanted to hire was none other than Park Yoo-seung.

But for some reason Park Yoo-seung did not show up for today’s seminar.

Since I was a student aspiring to become a public official in the first place it wasn’t that strange for me to give up the chance to get confirmation.

However it was a disappointing result for the seniors who wanted to somehow persuade him.

“Let’s take a short break. “Let’s meet again at two o’clock sharp.”

Swallowing those thoughts inside Seong Jin-tae announced to the participants to take a break.

Meanwhile lawyers were not the only ones worried about Park Yoo-seung’s future.

‘…Why doesn’t this human come?’

Baek Seo-yul tapped his fingers on the table as if he was nervous.

In the end she was never able to defeat Park Yoo-seung and that bully until the end of her internship.

From day one I thought that might be the case.

When I thought of Baek Seo-yul’s face sleeping as if he had finished a task that he could only complete by meeting the deadline a long time ago I felt angry again.

That’s why I prepared really well today.

The Internet was not available at this seminar and all high-tech devices including smartphones and laptops had been collected and stored in the next room.

A battlefield where you have to compete purely with the knowledge and logic you have in your head.

Of course considering Park Yoo-seung’s skills shown during the recruitment briefing session these conditions were not particularly advantageous to her but since it was her last chance Baek Seo-yul came here determined to do her best.

However the person who was actually staring didn’t even have his nose exposed.

‘I can’t admit this.’

Thinking about it calmly Park Yoo-seung’s absence was not a loss to Baek Seo-yul.

If a strong competitor leaves the race the probability of receiving confirmation increases.

As a Jin & Ahn aspirant she had to see it as a good thing.

However Baek Seo-yul did not seem to be happy at all if he received confirmation in that way.

Moreover just because Park Yoo-seung was not around not all the spotlight would return to her.

To be honest in the discussion up until now she was also being outwitted by a man named Shin Seo-jun.

Therefore Baek Seo-yul took advantage of the break and left the seminar room pretending to go to the bathroom.

He then secretly went into the next room stole his smartphone and hid in the bathroom.

“hey. Where are you and what are you doing now? “Don’t you know there’s a seminar?”

– …How did you get my phone number?

“That’s not important.”

Actually I saw it in the intern list and entered it.

The reason was that if I couldn’t reach a conclusion with him during this internship or to be more precise if I couldn’t beat Park Yoo-seung I wanted to visit him later and compete with him until he won.

– no. Rather if you use your phone during a seminar you will be disqualified for cheating. If you get caught it’s over. Baek Seo-yul didn’t you mean to go to Jin & An?

“Is now the time to worry about others? “You didn’t even come.”

-….

“Anyway I missed the mark on getting confirmation this time. If you don’t come that gisaeng brother from the police force will eat it. “Rather than be greedy for something that won’t work it’s better to call you and come to a proper conclusion.”

– Heo Yeo-mul-gun is a gisaeng brother of the police force….

Park Yoo-seung on the other end of the phone looked like he was thinking about something. Then as if he suddenly realized something he let out a sigh.

“It’s not too late. It’s only been about 30 minutes since we started and it’s time for the first break. Even if your score is a little lower due to being late you will be able to participate.”

– I understand. Let’s go.

Park Yu-seung readily answered.

– Even if I go now I can still do what I wanted to do… and there are things I need to check.

Baek Seo-yul then muttered something unintelligible and hung up the call.
