I Became an Academy Fraudster

Chapter 55

Kik-

Jeong Ha-yeon opened the front door and greeted Cha Ji-yoon.

Cha Ji-yoon raised her head and looked at her face.

Her eyes were red.

“…Did you cry?”

“No. Crying means someone cried.”

As she said that, she wiped her eyes.

“Do you want to come inside first?”

Jeong Ha-yeon led her charge, Yun, inside her own house.

“..Aren’t the other family members home right now?”

Cha Ji-yoon said as she looked around the inside of her house.

“Yes. Now is the time to be working. Rather than that, tea here.”

Jung Ha-yeon handed Cha Ji-yoon a cup of tea.

“Thank you.”

Cha Ji-yoon was handed a car.

“Rather than that, what did you come to my house for?”

“…I came here to see if I was sick.”

“A. I can’t be sick I am completely healthy.”

“…Then why didn’t you come to school?”

“I had some personal things to think about.”

“…Can’t you tell me what’s going on?”

“..Yes. Sorry.”

“…”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Jung Ha-yeon’s face.

Her eyes were still red.

She was obviously clear about what was going on.

“..Yeonah Ha.”

“Huh?”

“How many years have we known each other?”

“Since I was a toddler, it has already been about 10 years.”

“Yes. We’ve been together for 10 years already. Can you trust me and tell me what’s going on?”

“….”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Cha Ji-yoon for a long time without speaking.

“…At that time, from the time Nam Do-yoon and Radeon watched swordsmanship sparring, Ha-yeon’s expression was very bad. Did something happen that day?”

“Huh-“

Jeong Ha-yeon let out a deep sigh.

“Are you really not going to tell anyone?”

“…Of course not.”

“Then I’ll be honest.”

“..Yes.”

Cha Ji-yoon nodded.

“Aren’t you a bit puzzled too?

“..What do you mean?”

“Nam Doyoon said he would drop out if he lost in the swordsmanship match with ‘Radeon’ that day.”

“…Obviously.”

“You didn’t wonder why you did that?”

“…Certainly.”

Cha Ji-yoon also nodded.

There was no particular reason for him to engage in a swordsmanship match with ‘Radeon’.

With that, he even risked dropping out.

“It was actually because of a bet he made with me.”

“…A bet?”

“Uh. Nam Do-yoon told me to give up the person I like now if he wins against Radeon.”

“…A person you like?”

“Uh. I actually have a crush on someone, but Nam Do-yoon caught me.”

“…Who do you like?”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at Cha Ji-yoon.

“I can’t really tell you that. Sorry.”

“…Rather than that, did you mean that Nam Do-yoon engaged in swordsmanship sparring with ‘Radeon’ on the condition that you give up on the person you liked?”

“Yes.”

“…That means Nam Do-yoon is that person you?”

“…Yes. Maybe he likes me Otherwise, there’s no way I could tell you to give up on the person you love.”

“…Do you know what he did to win that swordsmanship sparring?”

Cha Ji-yoon looked blankly at Jeong Ha-yeon and said.

“What did you do?”

“…”

Cha Ji-yoon couldn’t bear to open his mouth.

Cha Ji-yoon remembered Nam Do-yoon, who was wielding a sword a week ago.

The sword he wielded was really bad.

He barely picked up the sword a week ago.

So, he beat Radeon in a week.

No matter how gifted in swordsmanship, it was impossible.

However, if there is only one thing that explains why he was able to defeat Radeon.

“…The old book of Count Asura.”

Cha Ji-yoon muttered in a low voice.

If you use it to strengthen your talent for swords, that’s explained.

In exchange for his own lifespan, he strengthened his talent for swordsmanship.

That would explain why he was able to beat Radeon in a week.

Cha Ji-yoon stared blankly at Jeong Ha-yeon.

How much do you have to love to be able to do that?

To make Jeong Ha-yeon give up on the person she likes even by sacrificing her life.

I couldn’t even imagine it for Cha Ji-yoon.

“…Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Huh?”

“…In order for that person to win that sparring match, the truth is…”

“What are the facts?”

Cha Ji-yoon couldn’t bear to speak.

If I said this, it seemed that she would feel a tremendous sense of indebtedness.

So she couldn’t bear to say it out of her mouth.

“…Nothing.”

Cha Ji-yoon smiled.

“A. What’s not funny?”

“..More than that, how do you feel?”

“…My heart?”

“..Yes.”

“I’ve been in a crush for quite some time. That heart is not easily erased.”

“…What do you think of Nam Do-yoon?”

“Huh?”

“…What kind of person do you think Nam Do-yoon is?”

“Are you really honest?”

“…Yes.”

“It’s just that my social skills are completely at the bottom. He came up to me right away and told me not to hang out with anyone and to give up on the person I like.”

“….”

“If you just look at it, you look like a crazy person. If I tell him not to go out with him, then he shouldn’t go out with me? What are you?”

“….”

Cha Ji-yoon pondered.

Why did Nam Do-yoon say and act like that?

And soon, an answer came out.

“…Actually, both of his parents are dead.”

“…Huh? Huh?”

Jeong Ha-yeon made a surprised expression.

“…My parents all died when I was young by a group of demons.”

“…Really?”

“…Yes. Perhaps that person lost his parents at a very young age. Chag is not even 10 years old.”

“….”

Jeong Ha-yeon couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

“…That person couldn’t even go to school. He just lives day by day in order to survive.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…..”

“… His parents died early, and he must have done everything to survive. How strenuously he must have lived for a child not even 10 years old to survive.”

“….”

“… There must have been only two types of people to him. He is someone who helps his survival or someone who gets in the way of his survival.”

“….”

“..Keep your head down on those who help you survive, and recognize those who get in the way as your enemies.”

“….”

“…That’s why this is probably the first time I hang out with my peers. So I think it’s because I’m very clumsy.”

It was only then that Jeong Ha-yeon understood.

Nam Doyoon’s words and actions seem to lack sociality.

He lost his parents early.

Before he even received socialization training from his parents.

And, at the age of less than 10, he was thrown into the jungle of society.

For him, there would be no reason to hang out with his peers.

He just lived day by day in order to survive.

For him, being friends his age would have been a luxury.

The first time he got along with his peers was when he came to ‘Elpon’ Academy.

Of course, he had no choice but to struggle with his peers.

“…..”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Jeong Ha-yeon for a long time.

He had a rather complicated expression on his face.

“…Then I’ll be on my way.”

Cha Ji-yoon stood up.

Jung Ha-yeon sat there blankly, and she stayed there for a long time.

***

I am sitting in the library of ‘Elpon’ Academy.

[PM11:30]

It’s already been 5 hours since I came to the library.

And the closing time for this library is 1:00 AM.

Nevertheless, when I looked around, I could see many students sitting there.

The reason is that right next week is midterm exam week.

The midterm exam is divided into practical and written sections.

It’s a practical test. I know what kind of test it will be.

Perhaps my practical test will be ‘Son In-hyeok’.

All you have to do is prepare well for it.

Of course, practice is also important.

However, handwriting is just as important.

That’s why the library is now packed with students.

I opened the book.

[Basic Example 1) When the real part of an arbitrary delta function D is a complex number greater than 3, if you define (d) = 1/5s + 1/9s +1/14s +d…. What is the formula for n(d)?

And then he let out a deep sigh.

This is Example 1 problem.

I’ve been struggling with this problem for 5 hours.

In other words, I haven’t been able to solve a single problem for 5 hours now.

That’s when I was struggling with the problem.

A fragrant smell spread from behind.

And soon the smell started wafting from the seat in front of me.

I looked up and saw the person in front of me.

She was Jeonghanna.

“Today is the first class I promised you, isn’t it?”

The transaction that Jung Hanna and I made the other day.

I will send her my next project

She decided to take care of my studies for about 30 minutes.

She glanced at my book.

“You were solving example 1, right?”

“Yes. But this doesn’t work out.”

“..Where is the blockage? I’ll see you.”

I handed her a blank notebook with her solution process written on it.

She glanced over and nodded her head.

“Wrong approach to this part.”

She said, pointing her finger at my notebook.

“It’s because I misinterpreted the function here. To properly interpret this, we need Lewis’s formula, which is ~”

After that, she told me the formulas needed to interpret the function.

“..If you put in those formulas and calculate them, you get the answer like this.”

We talked for almost 10 minutes without stopping for a moment.

“….”

However, I didn’t understand a single thing there.

Everything she says sounds like an alien language.

However, the real problem is that everything she explained is something that any student at the ‘Elpon’ Academy would know.

Of course she would have assumed that and explained it.

“Now, would you like to apply what I said and give it a try? There are some things you can only understand by doing it yourself.”

“….”

It was my arrogance.

I thought I could understand it, but I still can’t understand it.

There is only one way left for me.

[Skill 7 ‘Advanced Intelligence’ – You will be able to understand perfectly what the other person said. LV1. (The amount that can be understood is determined by Nam Do-yoon’s unique ‘mana’ in the chamber.)

The problem was that I tried to learn this without unlocking it.

“…You know.”

I told Jeonghanna.

“Huh? Why?”

“Can I ask for one thing?”

“What is it?”

“Couldn’t you take a break from tutoring for a while and take a look at it the day before the midterm exam next week?”

“So you’re not going to take tutoring while you’re on break, are you saying you’re going to take it on that day? 30 Minutes a day piled up”

“Uh.”

“But, are you really going to be okay? It would be much better to receive it steadily every day, rather than rushing to receive it the day before.”

“There is a reason why I had to do that.”

“Hmm- Really?”

Jeonghanna looked at me for a long time.

“Yes, what. If you want to do that, you do. However, it is true that I am a little worried.”

After saying that, Jeonghanna stood up.

I have to unlock that skill as soon as possible.

And ‘Son In-hyeok’ is holding the item needed to unlock it.
