Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 126
25. Nuclear bomb dropped on Seoul (1)
A building in Gangnam.
In a luxuriously decorated office, a woman dressed in a suit gathered her wives and raised her voice.
“There isn’t much left now. You just have to suffer for just one more year. “I worked hard to get the grades I have now, but if I ruin it before I can last even a year, it would be a waste of the money and time I invested.”
She specializes in Gangnam.
I was an admissions coordinator.
Her annual salary was in the hundreds of millions, and she specialized in the ‘entrance exams’ of the children of wealthy families in Gangnam, helping them get into the universities of their choice. She enrolled dozens of Korean university students. Gangnam wives, attracted by the reputation, willingly offered up bundles of money to request it, and now the final stage of two years of painstaking farming remains.
I took another step.
The straight gait, stiff head, and unwavering eyes gave confidence to the wives watching.
“I would like to tell the mothers of Daesung Mirae High School here about our future plans. We are planning to open a special class for the final course of the third year of high school. We have invited a famous lecturer from Gangnam as a professional lecturer, and we will also inform you of the schedule of additional points for volunteer work and school activities, as well as competitions that each student must win outside of the school. Since this is the last remaining schedule for the year, you must carry it out clearly. “No matter how good a plan I suggest, it’s useless if you don’t follow it.”
There was no answer.
Everyone is arrogant.
I just nodded.
As the admissions coordinator explained, they were parents of ‘Daesung Mirae High School in Gangnam’ and had already built up a lot of trust through their two years of performance. Excellent grades and grades. The entrance exam coordinator drew a roadmap that would produce the most ideal results, with both paths – the CSAT and the rolling admissions – laid out.
In fact, if you hit the CSAT jackpot.
Although it is possible to enter a Korean university without this cumbersome process, the admission coordinator’s principle is to produce good results in the safest way possible. If they can overcome the threshold of ‘rolling admission’ with the qualifications they have accumulated over the years, the children of these parents will spend the day with a comfortable mind on the day of the college entrance exam.
One thing is certain.
Admission to a prestigious university.
It was a common goal desired by everyone here.
“Keep this in mind. The fact that the next year will determine the lives of our children. Well then, let’s wrap this up…”
Knock.
“…I’ll go in for a moment.”
An office worker carefully opened the door and came in.
For a moment, the admissions coordinator looked irritated.
I seriously asked them not to come in during the explanation, but they looked at me as if I was asking what on earth they were doing.
OK.
An office worker approached me and said something in a whisper.
The admission coordinator’s expression, which at first was about to say something was nothing, gradually hardened as she listened to the whispers.
After the whisper, the office worker left immediately.
Everyone’s attention was focused.
As if asking what the hell is going on.
The entrance exam coordinator said with a very perplexed look on his face as the wives looked at him and told him to quickly tell them what they heard.
“…This is causing quite a bit of trouble?”
* * *
Daesung Future High School.
Since it was still vacation time, the sound of loud shoes spread throughout the hallway.
Again and again.
Again and again.
It was a group of people.
The women, clad in all kinds of luxury goods and giving off the impression that they were Gangnam wives, walked quickly. It was a very nervous gait. Because of the information they heard from the entrance exam coordinator a little while ago, the girls immediately got up from their seats, called the driver, and headed to the school.
Grumble.
bang!
The principal’s office door was opened roughly.
When a familiar face was seen, the woman who appeared to be the representative screamed loudly.
“What the hell is going on!”
“mother. Just calm down first…”
“No, is this something to calm down about? Hello, principal. My kids are 19 years old. 3rd year high school student about to take college entrance exams soon! It’s time to be careful of falling leaves, but what? The kid who came in first place in the national mock exam suddenly transfers to this school? Do you think that makes sense now? “Do you think we would accept such ridiculous behavior at this prestigious school, where transferring schools is not that easy and each level of ranking is sensitive?”
“that’s right.”
“Please explain, Principal!”
Just now.
The information the admissions coordinator received was shocking.
There was a student who unconditionally took first place in the national mock exams over the past two years, and there was information that he was suddenly transferring to Daesung Mirae High School. It was truly unusual. Transferring schools during the third year of high school was not an easy procedure, but schools in Gangnam had no way of allowing such a problem. Even if it was just the grades given below, the transfer of the top student in the country meant that everyone’s rankings were pushed down one level due to that one student.
It turned upside down.
The wives had no choice but to come to the school urgently.
The principal of Daesung Mirae High School.
Ahn Ik-su said hurriedly.
“That’s how things turned out. Since it has already been decided, I have no choice…”
“Are you really saying that you will just accept it?”
Parent representative.
The impression of Jo Hye-ju, the hospital director’s wife, was completely distorted.
“From now on, think carefully before speaking. You know the principal well. What have we been doing as ‘parent representatives’ even before our children entered school? I clearly remember that he not only solved many problems at Daesung Mirae High School, but also took care of the principal’s personal problems. “If you’re thinking of moving on with the excuse that it’s just that, we can’t just sit still.”
“…Yes. “You are right.”
Ahn Ik-soo responded that it was difficult.
Parents’ reaction?
I fully understand.
How much has been invested in this school so far, so how can they accept the transfer of a student who may become an obstacle to their children? That’s not a normal situation either. Considering what he has received so far, An Ik-soo should naturally show a reasonable attitude, but there was a reason why he could not act that way.
That thing.
It was a month ago now.
* * *
Zech.
Dozens of materials laid out on the table.
I felt like the hairs on my whole body were standing on end.
As Ahn Ik-soo looked at the other person with trembling eyes, a man with a cold expression as if wearing a mask spoke.
“As you can see, this is information related to the corruption that the principal committed while running Daesung Mirae High School. Don’t even think about lying. “In addition to what I have shown you now, we have sufficient data to prove corruption, and this is not just a matter that will end in retirement, but you will also have to face criminal punishment.”
The identity of the man.
He was Go Chang-beom’s errand boy.
He appeared here at Kim Hyun-seong’s request.
“And check this too.”
Okay.
Other materials were taken out.
This time it was a photo.
“He often used a certain bar in Gangnam. It hurts to explain that the money came from the parents’ pockets, and the problem is that it doesn’t end with just drinking. Is it okay for someone who is an educator to go to the second round like this? He also has a family. And the funniest thing is this photo.”
Tuk-tuk.
I tapped my finger on a photo.
Ahn Ik-soo instinctively knew the meaning.
“Hey. You are a minor. I must have lied about it at the bar and sent him away, and the principal doesn’t seem to know that either. However, this does not change the fact that he is a minor. What do you think will happen if all these facts are revealed? A person called the principal committed corruption, frequented bars, and even went out with a minor on a second occasion? “Don’t you think something really interesting will happen?”
“What on earth do you want from me?!”
I shouted in a desperate voice.
The leash has already been caught.
From the moment the evidence was presented, Ahn Ik-soo had no choice but to be an absolute loser from the opponent in front of him.
The man chuckled.
I liked that the trash was like this.
When a problem was brought up, he tried to bury the truth through a ‘deal’ rather than atone for it or apologize for it.
Those were everyday people.
The man said.
“You just have to do one thing. One student is planning to transfer to that school. We will handle the administrative issues at the existing school on our own, and the principal just needs to accept it. Of course, I am aware of the problems it causes. If a third-year high school student with excellent grades were to suddenly transfer to a new school, parents would be in an uproar, but what can they do? “The principal’s life must be more precious than that.”
“…That is not something that even the principal can carelessly do. “The pressure from parents at Gangnam schools is more than you might think.”
“Yes, yes, I guess so.”
While working as an errand boy, the man did many things.
But I can tell you this.
This was so interesting that it was surprising how things were going that even he had never experienced before.
“You don’t have to worry about that. “As long as the principal is firm, we will help you.”
* * *
Ahn Ik-soo glanced at his watch.
Not even 5 minutes have passed yet.
As soon as I received notification from the parents, I contacted ‘him’, but I felt nervous because I didn’t know when he would arrive.
for now.
I had to buy time.
Ahn Ik-su said while sweating profusely.
“Of course I tried to cover up this transfer. But how can we prevent something that has no administrative problem? Regardless of the fact that the student in question is the top student in the entire school, we are in a situation where we have to accept him by moving his address to a nearby location and going through legal procedures. “If we don’t accept the transfer, we may have problems.”
“That’s the principal’s situation. What damage will we receive as a result? “How are you going to compensate for that?”
“mother. Don’t get too emotional and think rationally. “Isn’t this a problem that can be resolved by insisting on it?”
“what? “Are you insisting?”
“The principal was such a funny person!”
It was truly a mess.
The position of having to accept a transfer.
We are in a position where we must prevent school transfers.
There was no way the conversation would work.
Jo Hye-ju screamed loudly.
“I thought the principal was a very common sense person, but it seems I was very mistaken. Common sense is the thing. It’s not common sense because we do things using common sense. I wish I had received enough money to eat it. A person who handles appropriate tasks is a person with common sense. This incident. We will make it public. “I will tell people and show them what a big mistake the principal has made.”
“mother! Please calm down….”
“Hey, you bastard!” Do I look serious now? “Don’t you think there might be an obstacle in our children’s lives because of you alone?”
Pop!
I threw the bag on the floor.
The act of casually throwing a bag worth tens of millions of won came as a chilling warning to Ahn Ik-soo.
It was like this.
This is why the messenger’s proposal was puzzling.
The person who grabbed Ahn Ik-soo’s leash was not the only one.
The wives in front of me.
It was the same with them.
While I was fretting and not knowing what to do, another group suddenly entered the principal’s office.
“Ah, you’re here!”
Ahn Ik-soo’s expression brightened.
Impossible plan.
This plan is bound to have many difficulties.
The reason Ahn Ik-su, who had expressed difficulty, eventually accepted the offer was because of the identity of the reinforcements mentioned by the errand boy.
Again and again.
A woman coming inside.
And the women who follow.
When Jo Hye-ju and her wife turned their heads at the loud sound of shoes, the woman who came in first naturally caught their gaze.
“It’s been a while, everyone?”
“…Minwoo’s mother?”
Everyone recognized her.
It had to be that way.
Sky Mom Cafe has recently grown rapidly into Gangnam’s largest mom cafe.
Lee Mi-so, the operator there.
She appeared here accompanied by her members.
