Chapter 39: Chapter 39

A four-day holiday passed in the blink of an eye and again Monday morning. As the date of the grade announcement approached, the cadets left the dormitory with nervous expressions.

“Eh. I’m nervous… … .”

“If I get worse grades than before, my mom will kill me.”

“I have to be at least in the middle not to fail… … .”

The environment and perceptions change depending on which class they are in, and their life in the future will change depending on which class they graduate.

Therefore, at Sungjin Academy, few people were optimistic to think that it was one of many tests, and everyone was bound to be nervous.

“Ah… … It’s killing me… … .”

Except for only one person.

Kang Yoo-sik’s eyes were dull as if he couldn’t sleep even a wink. Kim Jin-hyuk looked at the appearance that only showed fatigue rather than the tension of the exam.

“Did you not sleep yesterday?”

“Yes. I slept… … but I haven’t slept much.”

Actually, he slept for 2 hours. It wasn’t only for a day, but for three days in a row, so he has to be tired.

‘I can bear this much because the body is healthier than before… … If not, I would have collapsed earlier.’

When Kang Yoo-sik unintentionally felt how healthy he had become, he made a bitter smile and Kim Jin-hyuk looked at him worried.

“Is something bad happening?”

“no. It’s not that, it’s rather a good thing… … .”

Kang Yoo-sik, who replied a little bit, recalled what had happened for the last three days.

After promising to write a thesis with Ban Hye-young. From that day on, Kang Yoo-sik visited her laboratory every day to help write a thesis.

In fact, when it comes to writing, it was to write the proof process while helping Ban Hye-young’s experiment, but this was more difficult than expected.

‘I thought my head would really break… … .’

Kang Yoo-sik knew to some extent about the technology developed when the conundrums were proved, but he did not understand the concept itself.

To compare it easily, he knows how to make all kinds of food in a microwave, but he doesn’t know how to make the microwave!

‘It was fortunate that I had read several papers before the returning. Otherwise, my knowledge level would have been exposed already.’

He’s still helping Ban Hye-young as much as she’s satisfied, but if it is like this, he does not know when he will be caught.

That’s why Kang Yoo-sik has been studying so hard while reviving his memories with the memory map for the last three days.

‘At least half a year until the thesis is completed. I can’t continue to live like this until then… … I have no choice but to do it as much as I can.’

He tried hard for three days, wondering if he could increase Ban Hye-young’s debt, but she was completely immersed in the thesis, so it didn’t seem to have a chance to do so.

It would be better to give her a clue by giving application methods that he knows while making excuses not to stay for long, rather than using all energy on this.

‘That’s it. I worked hard for three days.’

If he was a genius, he would have helped her with all his energy, but what could he do? He’s not a born genius anyway.

From today, Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to take a good rest, looked at Kim Jin-hyuk, taking away his fatigue.

“Let’s go. Before it’s too late and it’s crowded and hard to see.”

“Oh, yes. Okay.”

Kang Yoo-sik hurriedly headed for the main building and arrived at the central entrance where the test results were posted.

Although they came early, the inside was crowded with cadets who arrived earlier, and the inside was quite noisy.

“No… … Is that possible?”

“It’s not impossible cause he caught three B-class monsters.”

“But still it’s a fake made with magical power… … .”

“Bullshit. Could you catch it when it’s fake?”

The silver class cadets looked up at the top of the bulletin board and made a loud noise without even paying attention to their grades, so did the cadets who came late.

“Yoo, Yoo-sik… … you… … .”Kim Jin-hyuk looked at him with an unbelievable expression, as he called, all the eyes of the cadets around him poured into Kang Yoo-sik.

Kang Yoo-sik, who looked at it, looked at the top of the bulletin board that the cadets were looking at.

[Kang Yoo-sik-Special upgrade to Diamond class.]

His promotion to a diamond class was proudly posted.

* * *

One hour after midterm grades are posted.

In just an hour, the news of Kang Yoo-sik’s special promotion spread not only to the silver class but also to the entire Sungjin Academy. That fact was shocking to all cadets, and there was a natural repercussion.

“No matter what, they have to observe the school rule.”

“He seems to have some skills, but for the diamond class… … .”

“I think it’s absurd… … .”

Whatever it is, the first thing that happened makes a lot of gossips. Some cadets complained that they had to observe the school rules but couldn’t say it outright.

“If you don’t want to die out of nowhere, just be quiet… … .”

“Just mind your own business, what’s all the talking? What, do you want to fight with me too?”

“It’s ugly. Could you shut up?”

It was only because it was unprecedented, it wasn’t impossible considering the Kang Yoo-sik’s grade.

He was on the first place in the written test which is known that it’s successful if you get only 50 points, but he received 80 points in the spell power test.

In addition, He received gold class level grade from the devil fight test, and diamond class level grade from the monster fight test, so in fact, he is not at the level of the silver class.

Because of that, even though there were some complaints, the atmosphere went to admit the Kang Yoo-sik’s promotion, and Kang Yoo-sik was summoned separately instead of taking classes in the morning.

“This is the room you will be using in the future.”

Kang Yoo-sik, who Yoon Hee-jin guided, toured the newly assigned dormitory.

The living room has an enormous area with an open view, and the outside veranda was more spacious than the former dormitory.

The bathroom had a huge bathtub, and there were four rooms, all of which were equipped with basic furniture such as wardrobes and beds.

‘It’s amazing… … .’

He visited a diamond class dormitory before to meet Hwang Hwi-chan, but it’s quite different from that time.

Even if it’s the same space, just thinking about how to fill it up makes his heart beat.

“If you have any furniture or equipment you need, please ask the school before ordering. Anything that has been reviewed can be put inside.”

“Is there anything like monetary aid that the school provides?”

At Kang Yoo-sik’s question, Yoon Hee-jin nodded.

“There is no support on that. As you know, the class can change every semester… … .”

“Oh, well. There is no guarantee that I will be a diamond class for the next semester.”

It doesn’t mean it’s over because you came up, but you have to keep it as much as you can no to go down. Therefore, the school also left the dormitory facilities to the discretion of the cadets.

For that reason, decorating was only for those who had a lot of money or thought that they had completely settled in the class.

‘Honestly, I don’t think I will go down… … .’

Is there a need to spend money in such a dormitory, when he doesn’t even have enough to invest on the stocks including the master? When Kang Yoo-sik is pondering.

“… … Of course, there is a way.”

Yoon Hee-jin, who was looking at him, carefully brought up the story.

“Is there a way?”

“Remember the interior designer who was praised by you before?”

Kang Yoo-sik replied with a smile when he noticed the method Yoon Hee-jin is mentioning.

“Oh, yes. Sure.”

“I reached out to him and delivered the message, he said that he could support a little bit.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. He said it’s a small service for future customers.”

Kang Yoo-sik saw Yoon Hee-jin talking casually with a slightly unexpected look.

‘It seems that she likes it.’

There is no way she supports me just by complimenting Yoon Hee-jin’s sense of the interior.

Considering her personality before return, it’s clear that she found the possibility from him to take care of these little things.

‘I don’t need to refuse it.’

It may not be simply a favor, but there is no need to refuse it. Kang Yoo-sik smiled and nodded.

“In that case, I’d rather ask him. I’d like to tell him directly, can I ask the designer’s contact information… … ?”

“Huh? Oh, that’s… … Because he doesn’t use a cell phone. I will contact him by e-mail instead.”

Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Yoon Hee-jin’s image trying to hide him in case his identity is discovered.

“Okay. Well then, please tell him that I appreciate it, and that I will definitely pay back later.”

“Yeah. Please leave it to me.”

“Then, let’s go to the next place.”

Kang Yoo-sik briefly looked at the dormitory building under Yoon Hee-jin’s guidance and then moved to the Diamond Class’s main building.

“Huh… … .”

Kang Yoo-sik, who entered the main building of the Diamond Class, smirked as he looked around.

Compared to the silver class, the gold class’s main building felt like a palace, and the main building of the diamond class was really different from the world itself.

The ceiling’s height was double higher, and the corridor floors were all pure white special marble, and the walls were engraved with colorful embossed patterns.

It’s not just a simple metaphor, Kang Yoo-sik was amazed by the appearance that looks like a moderately luxurious palace.

‘I heard it’s gorgeous, but… … I’ve never thought it would be this much.’

What is the reason why the main building was decorated like this? When Kang Yoo-sik made an incomprehensible expression, Yoon Hee-jin, who was ahead, replied as if she knew it.

“The Diamond Class is a representative place of Sungjin Academy, so the head of the academy paid a lot of attention. He said it shouldn’t be compared externally or internally to any other place.”

“That’s why he made it like this.”

“Yes. Compared to the British Round Academy, it is modest, but they have an impression that it is too much. We are the right level.”

At the Yoon Hee-jin’s explanation, Kang Yoo-sik looked at the main building again.

Certainly, it is as flashy as the director’s office, but there is no feeling of luxury. Probably because he thought this is the place used by the Diamond Class.

‘Am I going to take classes in a place like this from now… …?’

Unlike the Gold Class, which he could hear about it to some extent, he hadn’t heard about the Diamond Class.

This is because it was separated from the other two buildings and was a little isolated with the sense of an upper class.

‘There are actually many upper classes too.’

How would they accept me, who suddenly rose from the silver class?

In fact, he could clearly see what would happen, and he thought that there would be joy for that, so Kang Yoo-sik decided not to think deeply.

Under Yoon Hee-jin’s guidance, he briefly looked at the main building of the Diamond Class, and the time was close to lunch.

“The basic guide ends here. Do you have any questions?”

“No. That’s enough.” “Good thing. Luggage will all be moved today, and you can start taking a diamond class lecture tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your guide.”

“Don’t mention it. Please do your best in the diamond class.”

He said goodbye to Yoon Hee-jin, and soon after, the bell rang to announce lunchtime.

Upon hearing the sound, Kang Yoo-sik realized that the time had come and smiled and took out his cell phone.

‘Let’s see… … .’

Kang Yoo-sik opened the contacts and immediately called a person, and the connection sound began to ring.

The opponent doesn’t answer as if busy. But Kang Yoo-sik waited until the connection sound was completely cut off.

-… … Hello.

Just before the connection sound was cut off, a voice was heard.

“Teacher, do you have time for lunch?”

-Why why… … ?

A voice filled with embarrassment. Kang Yoo-sik replied with a big smile to Nam Gung-ryun’s voice that made him thrilled.

“The promise, you have to keep your promise, right?”
