The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 67
◈ Episode 67 I am dropping out (2)
Shim Deok-woon, the chairman of Valhalla Academy and a man who was once recognized as a leading man in the industry, was in a very good mood last semester.
If you ask me what was good, most of it was good except for a few really minor things.
It was good that a very prominent genius who could beat the five great families was immediately admitted to Valhalla Academy.
In the end, it was not recorded as an official record, but it was also good that the genius showed overwhelming skills in the school competition.
But what’s even better than that is that the genius who entered Valhalla caught a villain!
And twice!
As a Valhalla student!
Thanks to that, Valhalla Academy’s reputation was now sky-high.
Of course, if you think about it calmly, it is not because of the training at Valhalla Academy that Kim Joo-hyuk was able to deal with villains.
Kim Joo-hyuk is a first-year student who has only just completed his first semester.
But when it comes to media or reputation, that doesn’t matter.
What was important in the end was who dealt with the villain, and what was important was where that person who dealt with the villain ultimately belonged.
That’s why Shim Deok-woon spent this first semester very happily.
Even though he didn’t put any effort into it, donations were piling up at the academy.
‘More than anything’
, it was because there was talk that Valhalla Academy had secretly surpassed White Lotus Society and Hero Academy due to Kim Joo-hyuk’s performance.
Therefore, Shim Deok-woon was in a very good mood last semester and was excited enough to plan a promotion plan for the academy using Kim Joo-hyuk for the remaining three years.
Yes, until I heard that Kim Joo-hyuk was dropping out.
“Huh…”
Shim Deok-un calmed his mind.
This is because I thought Kim Joo-hyuk was trying to test his liver.
Why do you think that?
That was because of the amount donated to Valhalla by the Ventrick family this time.
‘If Kim Joo-hyuk really wanted to drop out, there is no way the Bentrick family would have chosen Kim Joo-hyuk as the beneficiary and donated 5 billion won.’
Of course, there had been an unfortunate incident in the past where family members broke into Valhalla, but that had already ended due to a backroom deal between the chairman and the Bentrick family, so he was confident that Kim Joo-hyuk was watching.
I was sure.
“Kim Joo-hyuk. There is no need to hide your true feelings like that. “If you’ve already come this far, there’s nowhere else to go.”
“What do you mean?”
“Tell me honestly what you want.”
“Is that what you want? “I told you, right?”
“…what?”
“You’re saying you’re going to drop out? “From what I heard, you came because you needed the chairman’s signature?”
“Why don’t you tell me what you want?”
“You want to drop out?”
“…??”
“???”
Don’t you understand me now? Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him with an expression like, Shim Deok-woon thought for a moment that he had misunderstood something, but then shook his head.
Because he clearly saw that the Bentrick family donated 5 billion won to benefit Kim Joo-hyuk.
That’s why the chairman looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and sighed heavily and talked about the donation to the Bentrick family.
“I beg your pardon? Are you donating 5 billion won?”
“Okay, I already know that, so whatever you want-”
“No, I never asked you to donate?”
“…what?”
“I never asked you to donate.”
“….”
After listening to the chairman’s story, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that it was Adelia Bentrick’s opinion, but decided not to say anything.
Adelia Bentrick’s donation of 5 billion won was like saying that she was working hard behind the scenes to score points for herself.
‘Well, 5 billion is still a waste.’
However, even though Bentric donated 5 billion won, there was no reason for Kim Joo-hyuk to stay here, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued the story.
“Anyway, please sign.”
Saying that, Kim Joo-hyuk handed over the paper he had received from Kim earlier.
Sim Deok-un instinctively felt that.
What Kim Joo-hyuk says is not to lie or show off, but to actually drop out.
“Now…wait!”
“yes?”
“Why do you want to drop out?”
“Well, just?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
However, Shim Deok-woon, of course, instinctively knew that Kim Joo-hyuk would not give the answer he wanted, and soon the reason why he wanted to drop out came to mind.
There is one reason why it came out that way.
‘Another academy…!!’
Other academies are trying to steal Kim Joo-hyuk.
Since it was something that was currently being talked about in the news, Shim Deok-woon accepted it as an established fact.
No matter how much I thought about it, that was the only reason Kim Joo-hyuk wanted to leave.
That’s why Sim Deok-un thought.
‘We have to catch it!’
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk may just be a first-year student.
However, the accomplishments he showed to the academy and the chairman were too great to be considered the work of just a first-year student.
Even though I was only enrolled for one semester.
But Kim Joo-hyuk is lost to another academy?
Will Kim Joo-hyuk go to another academy and achieve even greater achievements than what he achieved at Valhalla?
And that consistently?
‘No way… no way!’
For Shim Deok-un, it was something that could be said to be the worst.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk did not express any complaints and left, but after he does well at other academies, it is up to the media to decide what to do with it.
And Shim Deok-woon, who knew how the media picked articles with provocative titles just to get views, never wanted to face that situation.
“…Let’s complain.”
Therefore, Shim Deok-woon spoke while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with a very serious expression.
‘Ah, why on earth is this old man so persistent?’
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned as if he was annoyed, but opened his mouth.
“I’m just dissatisfied with being at this school.”
“Specifically?”
“I just hate it all. “I don’t even like taking classes.”
“So what if you don’t go to class?”
“yes??”
“If I don’t go to class, will my complaints go away?”
In response to Shim Deok-woon’s question, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at him with an expression as if this was some kind of nonsense, but then nodded hesitantly.
“Well, if that’s the case, the dissatisfaction will go away to some extent, right?”
“So that means it hasn’t completely disappeared. “Then what are your other complaints?”
“…Can’t go out when you want?”
“I’ll let you go out when you want.”
“???”
“Do you have any other complaints?”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Shim Deok-woon’s serious eyes with a shocked expression.
So the next day.
[Valhalla “Kim Joo-hyuk’s dropping out of school is a rumor.”]
[Valhalla “Kim Joo-hyuk will live in Valhalla until the end and graduate from Valhalla.”]
[Kim Joo-hyuk, as it turns out, wasn’t in trouble
with Valhalla?] [Valhalla threatened Kim Joo-hyuk. There is also a possibility that he did. ‘Doubtful’]
[White Lotus Association: “I regret this incident.” White Lotus Association owner’s remarks]
“Why aren’t you dropping out?”
Yanrang, who had just finished training and was eating lunch, looked at his smartphone and asked.
“Uh”
“Suddenly? “You said you would do it yesterday.”
“I did, but I thought I didn’t have to.”
“why?”
In response to Yan Lang’s question, Kim Joo-hyuk pondered with a strange expression before opening his mouth.
“Because you don’t have to take classes?”
“…what?”
“Is it literally? They say you don’t have to go to class. “They said you could just go there and they would even build a training room for you.”
“why?”
“I don’t know, but you said you would just drop out and you would do that?”
“That’s…”
That’s not a student, is it? The thought passed through Yan Lang’s mind, but she did not specifically follow up with the question to Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘…I guess it’s something like that.’
As a result of spending time with Kim Joo-hyuk, I realized that when something comes up that I don’t understand, it’s much better for my mental health to just quickly accept it and move on.
That’s why Yanlang thought so and nodded.
like that. Some time passes and Valhalla’s opening ceremony approaches.
[Creation of a special class.]
A new class was created in Valhalla.
####
The villains, guilds, and associations were currently concentrating all their attention on the market.
The reason was because of the building being built in the center of the market, and the reason their attention was focused was because the building made with money was nearing completion.
‘Once the building is completed, the market will take action.’
Of course, Black Cat, the owner of the market, didn’t say that.
However, everyone who was already focusing their attention on the market was preparing to respond at any moment as if the statement was a fait accompli.
First of all, once the market moves, it will definitely bring gain to one side and loss to another.
And in the source of rumors where various speculations and false rumors are being exchanged.
[I really like the fact that the ruler behind the scenes was built faster than expected!]
“First, we did the construction safely and increased the efficiency as much as possible, and somehow it worked out.”
[The ruler behind the scenes smiles and nods his head as if thanking him for his hard work.]
“Thank you… thank you.”
The black cat frowns with emotion at the notification window of the ruler behind it, as if it is compensation for all the hardships it has endured so far.
‘It was really hard…!’
Of course, that building was not built by Black Cat.
However, even if Black Cat did not build the building, he had to supervise the building, and the further problem was that Black Cat had a lot of work to do besides that.
In addition, because his Holy See wanted the building to be completed as quickly as possible, he had been working repeatedly with almost no time to rest for the past few months.
But now that too is over.
Black Cat was extremely impressed that he had successfully built a building made of money as requested by the Holy See, and that he could now rest for a bit.
Therefore, he was overwhelmed with emotion for a while, then sighed lightly and spoke.
“It was completed faster than I expected, Constellation. What should I do?”
Black Cat’s question.
[The ruler behind the scenes says that since it has come to this, he will send a message after it is completely completed in a few days.]
“I understand. “Then, as you said last time, shall we send someone to the five selected people?”
[The ruler behind the scenes nods and tells them to convey the ‘text’ I am giving them to the five people.]
“I will write it down from now on.”
As soon as Black Cat took out a pen and paper and opened his mouth, the master behind the scenes started popping up a notification window in front of him.
After some time had passed, Black Cat, who had written down everything the master behind him had said, asked:
“Can I send it like this?”
[The ruler behind the scenes smiles and nods with satisfaction.]
[“I understand. And if he reads the letter and comes to the market and answers the letter properly, how should we treat him?”]
Black Cat’s question.
The ruler behind him is.
[Sky.]
A notification window appeared on Black Cat.
