Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 83

17. People looking for Kim Hyun-seong (7)

Final exams were in full swing in Gangnam.

Inside the classroom.

Kang Min-woo showed a blank expression.

After finishing the final exam, he was struck by a strange feeling that was different from usual.

‘…How is this possible?’

6 years of elementary school.

3 years of middle school.

And the final exam of my first year of high school.

While experiencing numerous exams, Kang Min-woo realized that as he got older, his brain was not as smart as he thought. It was a very harsh reality. The father is truly a man synonymous with genius, but his only son can’t even follow his father’s toes.

So I lost interest in studying.

No matter how much my mother supported me, I could not accept the reality of falling behind my peers.

But this time was different.

It was easier than I thought.

As he solved the problems, Kang Min-woo reached the last question even though only half of the test time had passed.

‘Have I become smarter?’

no.

I knew it myself.

Unless I took a drug that made me smarter like in a Hollywood movie, there was no difference between the person I was back then when I managed to pass the midterm exam and the person I am now. Then there was only one correct answer. In fact, I was solving problems the whole time the final exam was going on. Kang Min-woo had only one fact that complicated his mind.

‘It exactly matches the type of problem I was told about in the tutoring. It was an area I studied intensively, so it was bound to be easy for me.’

I got goosebumps.

How is this possible?

Hyunseong Kim provided tutoring and accurately specified the types of questions that would appear on the final exam. At that time, my friends joked and laughed at me for imitating an instructor. And what was once dismissed as a joke became reality. Although not all of the types of questions Kim Hyun-seong mentioned were asked, they overlapped a lot with the actual exam, so Kang Min-woo had no choice but to solve the questions easier than in previous exams.

It was then.

When I got my phone back after the test was over, a beeping sound rang like a fire.

[How did you all go on the exam? I hit the jackpot!]

[Kim Hyun-seong, what on earth is this guy? When Kim Hyun-seong specified the expected problem types, I wondered what he was doing, but most of the problems actually came from those types! Do you really know what this guy is up to?]

[Kim Hyun-seong is a god. The god of study has descended on us!]

The group chat room was in chaos.

This made it clear.

He said that the emotions he felt during the final exam were not just his own, but that it was truly a miracle that everyone experienced the same.

That means.

‘Kim Hyun-seong was right.’

In just 15 days, Kim Hyun-seong created a miracle.

* * *

It was truly an auspicious event.

Lee Mi-so, who checked the test scores, hugged Kang Min-woo with a happy face, as if she truly had the world.

“Our beautiful son! “You worked really hard!”

“Oh mom! “I’m suffocating!”

“Why? “Don’t sleep!”

Kang Min-woo struggled.

The strength of a 17-year-old high school boy would be enough to push away his mother, but Kang Min-woo was embarrassed but did not actively push his mother away. It was a reaction I hadn’t experienced in a really long time. Lee Mi-so hugged Kang Min-woo as if he couldn’t breathe and repeatedly showered his face with kisses.

Side side.

“son. What do you want to do today? Is there anything you’d like to have? “Just say something and this mom will listen.”

“…Let’s just eat out.”

“Really? Then, as soon as Dad gets off work, let my son eat whatever he wants!”

Only after such an uproar was Kang Min-woo able to escape from his mother’s arms and return to his room.

widely.

The door was closed.

In the quiet room, traces of studying were visible.

It was a strange feeling.

Whenever he checked his grades, Kang Min-woo felt like a criminal.

When he was in elementary school, he seemed to have met expectations, but as the problems became more difficult, Kang Min-woo seemed to lag behind the top students in Gangnam. Of course, this didn’t mean that I couldn’t study at all. It was good enough, but it didn’t fall into the ‘top’ range that Lee Mi-so expected.

This time was different.

The average score increased by a whopping 10 points.

I felt like my self-esteem, which had been steadily diminishing, was restored by seeing my mother’s smiling face.

dump.

sat down on the chair.

As I was blankly taking in this moment, I heard Lee Mi-so’s excited voice outside the door.

“No, it’s nothing else. “My child’s average score on the final exam increased by a whopping 10 points this time.”

“Oh my god, really? This final exam was that difficult? What should we do because our Minwoo is pretty? “Most of the other kids said their scores dropped, but it wasn’t just 1 or 2 points, the average score went up by a whopping 10 points.”

“Minwoo was originally smart. I just haven’t had any luck so far. “Whose son is he?”

It was very chaotic.

Lee Mi-so repeatedly called a new person when the phone hung up, as if she would never let go of the phone even for a moment. In fact, Kang Min-woo knew very well why his mother was so desperate for grades. Kang Min-woo’s father was a true genius who took an elite course, and his mother was also smart, but her qualifications were slightly lacking compared to his father. So, whenever Kang Min-woo’s test scores did not meet expectations, people around him wondered if it was because he inherited his mother’s blood.

“Mr. Ha-.”

Why?

Kang Min-woo’s eyes turned red in a situation where he should have been truly happy.

I wanted to do this from the beginning too.

I wanted to completely meet my mother’s expectations so that my mother, who loves me, would be truly happy.

But I couldn’t do that.

No matter how hard you struggle.

No matter how hard you try.

There was something called a wall.

In Gangnam, there is no one who doesn’t try hard, so due to the difference in talent, Kang Min-woo always had to be pushed to the background.

This time was different.

Test scores went up.

Kang Min-woo was in tears after receiving a grade that could be considered top-notch.

I cupped my face.

“…This is so good.”

How long will it be?

It fully meets the expectations I have had since elementary school.

Kang Min-woo couldn’t put down his hand that was covering his face for a while.

The next day.

Sky Mom Cafe members gathered together, led by Lee Mi-so.

One member said with a serious expression.

“As everyone knows, there is nothing we haven’t done to improve our children’s grades while they are studying in Daechi-dong. If someone said they were good at teaching, I would sign up early in the morning, and if there was a rumor that someone else was going to teach well, I would do whatever it took to get a seat, even if it meant spending money. Every time, my grades went up. Even if only slightly. “We have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to improve our grades, but this is a result that makes no sense.”

“…I still have doubts about whether this is real. “How can your grades improve so much in just 15 days?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Including Kang Min-woo, most of the average scores rose by more than 5 points.

It was a tremendous achievement.

Still, since they were students who performed above average, even a difference of just 1 to 2 points was a great improvement in the overall perspective. However, a rapid growth of more than 5 points was achieved. And that too in a short period of 15 days. For mothers with deep roots in the private education world, this situation could not help but be truly embarrassing.

Lee Mi-so said.

“The point we need to focus on in these results is that Kim Hyun-seong got a perfect score on the mid-term mock exam and the final exam, and as he ‘affirmed’ to us, he raised the grades of all the children without exception. When I asked Minwoo the secret, do you know what he said? “Even though the teaching was not as arduous as other academies, the grades were bound to go up because the types of problems were accurately identified.”

“Specifying the type of problem? “Is that possible?”

“It’s impossible. No one can say for sure what kind of test questions each school will ask, but it seems that Kim Hyun-seong has the ability to at least understand what the current test questions trends are. What does that mean? This is real. All the teachers who teach well in Daechi-dong have annual salaries exceeding hundreds of millions, but this means that the child who studies alone in Daesan teaches better than those teachers. If the. “What do you think will happen if this fact becomes known to other mothers?”

Moment.

Everyone made eye contact.

I knew it without having to say it.

“…Everyone will flock to you to give you tutoring.”

“is it so. So, you must never tell this to anyone. We, the five of us here, are the only ones who know of Kim Hyun-seong’s existence. “I think that if anyone were to tell people about this, they would know without having to explain that it would be eating away at their own children.”

It was an unspoken agreement.

All mothers.

I didn’t want that situation.

A tutor like Kim Hyun-seong was not something that could be monopolized simply because he had money.

This was truly heavenly luck.

Luck given by heaven.

So, from now on, I had to hold on to this luck and never let it go.

“I contacted Kim Hyun-seong yesterday. He said he would go down to Daesan and visit him in person. That’s why I’m saying this…”

If the ability has been verified.

Now it was time to pay the price.

“How much can everyone spend on their children?”

* * *

That afternoon.

Lee Mi-so came down to Daesan.

At a familiar cafe where we had met before, Lee Mi-so showed an overly polite attitude.

“teacher. Thank you very much. “Thanks to the teacher’s excellent teachings, Minwoo and the other students’ grades were able to improve significantly.”

From student to teacher.

The name has changed.

Lee Mi-so spoke in a subdued voice as she watched Kim Hyun-seong.

“Actually, the reason I came to visit you is because I hope you will continue to teach our children in the future. I think the period is about two years until the children graduate, but it would be shameless to ask that such a long period be considered an existing condition. The tutoring schedule will be the same once a week, but we will give you 10 million won per person per month. And if you get good grades like in this final exam, we will give you a special reward. How can you be okay?”

It was an unprecedented condition.

1,000 per person.

It meant 5,000 per month in return for working hard once a week.

The sight of them giving up such a huge amount of money made me realize that the moms at Mom Cafe are Gangnam wives.

In fact, the conditions were not that important.

I was planning on accepting it as long as I expressed my sincerity.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“There are conditions.”

“Just say the word. “I’ll accommodate anything.”

“Please hold a tutoring schedule once a week, but please minimize other academy schedules so that the children can fully learn what I teach. “They say you need a basic academy for prior learning, but if you study too much, it will be difficult to perfectly learn what I teach.”

“That’s…”

I felt hesitation.

Reduce academies.

It was not an easy problem.

Then, if I fell behind my other friends, it was really difficult to catch up.

but.

‘You raised your average grade by 10 points in just 15 days. Let’s believe it.’

The miracle of final exams.

I had no choice but to believe it.

Lee Mi-so nodded.

“all right. “Anything else?”

“As I said before, please keep our relationship a secret. I heard that a student named Kim Hyun-seong was separately teaching students including Kang Min-woo. “If such rumors start to spread, I cannot guarantee that I will continue to provide tutoring in the future.”

“of course. “I will keep it a secret, no matter what!”

Lee Mi-so smiled happily.

Keep it secret.

For her, it was something she welcomed with open arms.

I was worried that someone might think of something else while giving grades on the final exam, but Lee Mi-so’s face brightened when she was asked to keep it a secret first. She achieved all the conditions she wanted. In the future, Lee Miso monopolized a great teacher named Kim Hyun-seong, and as Kim Hyun-seong, she created a link with helicopter moms.

The deal is over.

Seeing Lee Mi-so trying to get up from her seat, Kim Hyun-seong asked a question.

“By the way, what did your husband say he does?”

“Is it him?”

Lee Mi-so laughed.

“I am a deputy chief prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

Deputy Chief Prosecutor.

A living power that can be felt only by its name.

This was truly a coincidence.

Kim Hyun-seong didn’t intentionally approach him, but the word “deputy prosecutor” cleared up all his doubts.

The reason why Lee Mi-so is obsessed with her children’s education.

Why is he not associated with the Golden Circle even though he possesses considerable wealth and power?

It was in her background.
