Academy Silver Gatekeeper

34 – Unexpected luck – 2

The second time I came to the dean’s office. I guess I’m the only one who came here so often among the dispatched positions.

“Sit down.”

Fortunately, I didn’t crush the students like last time.

To be honest, I treated Jung Yoo-hyeon similarly, but nothing happened.

There is a high possibility that he is keeping his mouth shut because his pride is hurt.

“I heard you had a lot of trouble yesterday.”

“ah… No, dean. There were already other people with special powers, and the monsters were bigger than I thought… .”

“Not that.”

other than that? What then?

“That crazy… hum, hmm He said he was with Irina.”

I let out an exclamation in the moment.

How stupid is it to say that even Ma Hak-joon is a crazy bitch?

“Are you talking about Irina?”

“Yes, Irina. You were our student not too long ago. Originally, it should have been a 2nd or 3rd year.”

“I heard. It was so ridiculously powerful that he graduated early.”

“It would be nice if it was just strong. It was a problem because I couldn’t figure it out as much as I was strong.”

“… Was that enough?”

“I’m saying this as pure as possible.”

Phew, Ma Hak-jun even let out a long sigh.

Seeing that scene, Irina felt amazing again.

There was a reason why the villains called her a crazy bitch.

“Anyway, I’d like to ask you a little more about yesterday.”

“I will answer honestly, but I don’t know much.”

“Was it really a gate? It’s not like someone lured the monsters or captured them alive and released them.”

That’s what villains do sometimes. Lure or capture monsters and release them into the city center.

Then, of course, the people with special powers fight, and take advantage of the gaps in the borders for a while.

Rob somewhere, or assassinate someone, or something like that.

From Ma Hak-jun’s point of view, this is a part that can raise doubts.

It’s been a suppressor that’s been working fine so far. I knocked down the probability of the gate appearing.

Since the gate suddenly appeared, it is natural to think about other things.

But everything that happened yesterday is true. It is a kind of precursory phenomenon.

After passing the initiation part, we have now arrived at the development part.

“It was the gate. sure I saw it right in front of me.”

“It’s really a gate.”

“That’s right.”

“The suppressor apparently worked normally, but… .”

Judging by the muttering while fiddling with his chin, it seems that he even confirmed it.

“If you say that too, it’s a big deal.”

“I. There was also a story about Irina… .”

“It’s so hard to believe what he said. Don’t you know that you’ve been through it too?”

I’m sure that even if you’ve experienced it once, you’ll know Irina’s unpredictable madness.

I could feel it again there. Crazy yellow bitch, you were more stupid than rumors.

“Paek Seo-jin, examiner.”

“Yes, dean.”

“Actually, it is. I just got a call from you wanting to see your on-the-job evaluation.”

“You mean me? I already failed the field job exam before.”

“Isn’t it absolutely impossible to fall once? And these days, the number of talented people belonging to the country has decreased so much, they say they are frantic to find new talent.”

People with national abilities. It is the same ‘public servant’, but the treatment is the difference between heaven and earth.

The salary you receive, the pension you will receive later, and the social treatment you receive.

everything is different No, saying that it is different is considered an example.

“So I will ask you this. You can quit dispatching and return to the department if you want. Then, some time later, you will have an exam for a field inspection.”

“Is that so.”

It’s not bad. Good thing. Suffice it to call it a life reversal.

If you fail to enter the academy, the only thing left for those who have awakened this ability is the person with the ability belonging to the country.

However, Baek Seo-jin failed even that and eventually chose a 9th grade administrative position.

Thanks to this, I was tagged as a low-level civil servant and hit here and there.

At a time like this, push your back to take a field test from above?

That means there’s almost a hundred percent chance of sticking, so I’m going to establish a new relationship.

‘Good so far. Good… It’s nice.’

Remember, when you think things work out the best, it’s when you’re most likely to fall.

You should always look underneath. Perhaps, there might be a stone beak somewhere.

If you didn’t find it and ran, you would fall and break your jaw.

And now, for me, that stone beak was none other than the gatekeeper characteristic, a stepping stone to reversal.

“To be honest, I don’t really like it.”

No matter how much it is against the monsters, or against the invisible enemies of the game.

Although it is said that it has come to the fraudulent stage of manifesting characteristics.

The academy is a space where you can grow more confidently.

In addition, the waiting time is also nailed to the case of the screening of ‘inside the academy’.

I have no intention of stopping here. No, you shouldn’t stop.

Like Lee Hyun-woo, like Kim Soo-hyun, I also have to grow more.

Even if I deal with the monsters later and fight the villains.

For me now, the academy is both the site and the gate.

To put it bluntly, the ‘line’ where I can grow is the ‘Academy’s Silver Level Judge’.

“Why are you not willing? Looking at your skills, I don’t think you can compare to before.”

“It is.”

“If you really don’t have anything to hide, your refusal to move forward even with such skills may seem to mean something different in the eyes of others.”

Ma Hak-jun’s worries were extremely realistic.

He took the academy entrance exam and took the field job exam, but he failed in all of them.

That kind of guy now has enough strength, but he’ll give up right away.

To be honest, even if it were me, I would narrow my eyes because I thought it was suspicious.

‘I can’t help it. Except for the ability to properly move on to conversational skills.’

Fortunately, I already knew about Ma Hak-jun’s tendencies.

He is an old man who gives great marks to his care for others.

Even though he himself can live without any worries just like Kang Min-seong.

Isn’t it quite a headache to take on the position of the academy dean by volunteering?

“At first, when I awakened this ability, the whole world seemed to belong to me. But as time passed, I got to know it. There are plenty of people like me, and there are so many better ones. I wouldn’t have grown like this if I hadn’t pushed myself harder.”

In reality, it was just a life of repeating going to work and leaving work.

I didn’t even exercise properly, let alone train. I only played games at home.

However, since it would be difficult to investigate his actions after that, he decided to flesh it out in moderation.

For example, to the level of a low-level civil servant who secretly worked alone and sweated hard.

“Then I felt something. Even people who aren’t that great, if you pull them with all your might, maybe they can grow even more. I’m at this level, but wouldn’t it be possible for people who are better than me? These are people who may be insignificant right now, but one day they can become outstanding people with special abilities.”

“… If not, isn’t it right to be an instructor or, at least, a faculty member?”

“That’s good too. However, what I want to look at is not the outstanding people right now, but the people who were pushed out because of their lack of talent like me. Among them, these are the ones who still want to move forward.”

I think you gave a good answer. Ma Hak-jun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

That reaction was certain to come out when an answer I liked came out.

“At first, I was half-forced to assume this silver level judge position. But as I did, I knew. This place is exactly what I wanted. It is a position where you can push more and pull more.”

“Then, it must be the same reason why they were judged so fiercely. If you look at it carelessly, it won’t help those kids at all. It won’t give any stimulus to growth.”

That’s right, that’s it. Dean Ma Hak-jun.

I play the drum, and Ma Hak-jun plays the janggu. There is no moment more certain than this.

With this, he refused the field job and built up a justification for wanting to continue to be dispatched.

Ma Hak-jun also drools repeatedly, as if he thought this was my sincerity.

“Originally, it would be correct to take the field job exam… .”

It’s not pleasant. It’s a big deal if you do something wrong and your character gets sprained.

The academy where 100% of the characteristics are expressed is the safest.

Even if you leave the academy later, you have to grow as much as possible here.

Someday, I will have to team up and fight with objects.

It is no different from having to grow step by step from the laning stage.

“If your will is so firm, I may be able to help.”

“Are you sure?”

“Even though it seems like this, there are a lot of people who know. If you ask them, it won’t be difficult to keep you here as an examiner at the academy.”

It is also a connection worthy of a hero of the past. Yes, this is Ma Hak-jun.

If he helps, there will be no more talk of field work.

Taking the test anyway is my freedom and it’s my judgment.

It cannot be forced because there is a shortage of talented people belonging to the state.

“If you’re done talking, I’ll go back to my seat.”

In fact, when I go back, I see a picture with only flies flying again.

Ma Hak-jun nodded and indicated that he should go away.

“Paek Seo-jin, examiner.”

“Yes, dean.”

“Thank you.”

I want to know what to say thanks out of the blue.

When I asked an unspoken question about what I was thankful for, Ma Hak-jun finally said.

“Evacuating the citizens yesterday and helping my fellow supernatural powers. It was a great look. This nogu can’t do any more. Now, I am so grateful that great young people like you are doing it.”

I almost burst into laughter at that moment.

Nogu. Literally an old body. A word referring to the elderly.

This is the word that Ma Hak-jun calls himself. So it was no more ridiculous.

Could the old man who blocked the elder’s spear from the front be an old man?

“Let’s go. And on the spot, do your best according to your words.”

As an ally, he is the most reliable old soldier in the world.

At Ma Hak-jun’s words, I nodded and left the dean’s office.

“… You must have heard everything.”

After Baek Seo-jin disappeared, Ma Hak-jun slowly parted his lips.

Then, a voice was heard over the phone cleverly hidden on the desk.

[He was a strange friend. Seniors. ]

“No. You are a great friend.”

[Then, should I keep the dispatched job? ]

“I want you to do that. If a young man like that is at the academy, I feel a little relieved.”

[ All right. ]

“Thank you, Chairman. It must have been a bit of an unreasonable request.”

[ no. Actually, I got a similar request. ]

“A similar request?”

In response to Ma Hak-jun’s question, the head of the Association of People with Extraordinary Ability drool and said.

[Actually, Senior Kang Min-seong also requested that Judge Baek Seo-jin stay at the academy. ]
