29. Purification (4)
It was a quick decision.
The Office of Education, which gritted its teeth and ignored school corruption, ended this case too quickly.
[…] … As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that Daesung Mirae High School Vice Principal Kyung-hee Jin and Teacher Won-gi Jang committed corruption against parents. The Office of Education decided to fire the two people, and at the same time, punish them with criminal punishment to prevent something like this from happening again. We would like to express our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.]
Official website of the Office of Education.
That was what was posted there.
This time, it seemed as if the Office of Education had taken an active role in punishing the rotten school corruption.
The truth was just a deception.
In fact, there were students who directly mentioned the ‘Golden Circle’ during the survey, but that part was completely cut out. The blackout incident in which dozens of students were taken to the hospital, the evil deeds committed by school teachers under the instigation of the Golden Circle, and the threatening of students telling them to keep quiet, etc. are the only cases that have surfaced without rooting out the great evil. Only the problem was brought to the fore.
That wasn’t the only problem.
Even though an official apology was issued, the general public was not aware of the incident.
Think about it.
How often do ordinary people visit the Office of Education website in their lifetime?
As the Golden Circle blocked it from being broadcast as news, the Office of Education’s apology ended with voices echoing internally.
of course.
Jeonghan Ilbo reported the incident.
They revealed the truth to the world through extensive reporting, but the reaction of some people who heard about the incident was heartbreaking.
“The world is coming to an end.”
“I know. “Those bastards called teachers are openly taking money.”
“Hey, that’s what school is like. In my time. If you didn’t bribe the teacher, you would get slapped in front of the kids. Compared to back then, things are more comfortable these days. Kids are so smart these days that even if something goes wrong, they’ll take a video with their cell phone and report it. Look at it now. “The teachers who bullied me in the past were eating well and living well, but it has become a good world where teachers these days are punished like this.”
Adults chatting after reading the article.
Just as expected from the Golden Circle.
Issues that did not go beyond the confines of school eventually faded away in people’s common sense.

This incident.
It did not end with simply dismissal.
As the Office of Education emphasized, the case was handed over to the prosecution to ensure punishment.
Inside the interrogation room.
Jang Won-ki looked at the prosecutor with anxious eyes, seeing a scene he had never experienced in his life.
“… … Please call a lawyer. “I won’t say anything until the lawyer comes.”
After meeting Kim Hyun-seong.
He made up his mind.
Since he had no other choice now, he had no choice but to hold on with the belief that the Golden Circle would protect him.
The Golden Circle will send you a lawyer.
On the surface, he proposed criminal punishment to eliminate noise, but if he carelessly abandons a subordinate like himself, problems will inevitably arise in the Golden Circle. He’ll reveal the truth later. Or, it could end up completely on Kim Hyun-seong’s side, so I believed that Golden Circle would end on a reasonable note.
The prosecutor had no answer.
As Jang Won-gi continued to silently examine the data, he added a word.
“hey. A lawyer… … .”
“You are so naive.”
“yes?”
“The lawyer won’t come. “If you believe in the Golden Circle, just accept reality.”
Moment.
My heart sank and sank.
What on earth does this mean?
Aside from the fact that the prosecutor mentioned the Golden Circle, I couldn’t understand what he said.
The prosecutor chuckled.
“This incident. We were given orders to finish well. In fact, it is possible to roughly conclude the incident in an appropriate manner, but this incident is one that the Office of Education has officially acknowledged and apologized for. Although media exposure has been prevented as much as possible, people who have read articles reported by media outlets such as Jeonghan Ilbo and Janjaengi will lose interest because there is a status that this incident has been successfully concluded. So you must be punished. “In order for this problem to not spread to the Golden Circle, a perfect conclusion is needed.”
“W-what do you mean! We’ve only been following the orders of the Golden Circle… … .”
Quang!
“hey.”
The prosecutor’s eyes changed.
Jang Won-gi closed his mouth as a harsh hand hit the desk.
“If you were going to take the line, you should have had a straight attitude. Yesterday evening. Do you know what information I received?”
Tuk.
threw something
It was a USB.
As Jang Won-gi looked at him with a questioning look, the prosecutor added an explanation.
“This is a voice file sent by Kim Hyun-seong. This contains what you said when you visited Kim Hyun-seong. Oh, Hyunseong Kim is great too. He must have known that he couldn’t create the Golden Circle with something like this, so he sent this to me on purpose. by the way. Even if the intention was blatant, it was an appropriate move to create distrust. A guy who was just a henchman dared to betray the Golden Circle, so there’s no reason for us to protect you at the risk of social condemnation, right? All you have to do is just organize it as you see it.”
“Hey, this! “This is a frame-up!”
My complexion became pale.
Kim Hyun-seong was a devil.
You recorded your conversation and sent it to the Golden Circle.
His statement that he would destroy himself was not a lie.
In the end, to me, who was nothing more than a spy, this recording file had no choice but to be more powerful than anything else.
To Kim Hyun-seong.
To the Golden Circle.
Jang Won-ki was nothing.
With a face that looked like it was about to burst into tears, the prosecutor spoke calmly.

“Okay then, let’s take it easy from now on. Mr. Jang Won-gi. Do you admit to all charges of corruption?”
“if! If I hadn’t gone to see Kim Hyun-seong. “Did the Golden Circle really intend to protect me?”
I shouted without realizing it.
Jang Won-gi’s eyes were earnest.
If I got a positive answer, I was planning on grabbing at least my pants.
however.
“no. We paid you enough money to throw it away in the first place, right? I’m so glad. Thanks to this, we have created such a good cause that even if we abandon you, there will be no internal noise.”
“… … “You bastards!”
Then I realized.
Golden Circle and Hyunseong Kim.
In a fight between two whales, he realizes that he is nothing more than a shrimp with its back blown off.
As he jumped out of his seat and screamed loudly, officials ran outside and dragged Jang Won-ki away.
In the meantime, I saw Jang Won-gi.
The sight of Jin Kyung-hee being carried away after fainting.
It must have been very difficult for her to accept the reality of being abandoned, as she had no cause like Jang Won-gi.
axis.
I stopped resisting.
The strength went away from my body.
As he was dragged away, Jang Won-ki could not take his eyes off Jin Kyung-hee with eyes that had lost focus.

The atmosphere at school was chaotic.
At a time when the principal’s position had not yet been filled, it was a huge incident in which the vice principal and a teacher were lost.
In particular, as the prosecution’s disposition became known, teachers at Daesung Mirae High School showed signs of anxiety.
“… … “If we keep doing this, won’t we be in big trouble?”
“You man! Be careful what you say! Then the words become reality!”
“It’s because I’m anxious too. It is true that Vice Principal Jin Kyung-hee and Teacher Jang Won-gi took the lead in carrying out the work, but isn’t there anyone in this school who didn’t participate in this incident? Not only did everyone stand by, but they also actively participated. What if the fire spreads to us? “If students unanimously point out their teachers, we can never be safe.”
“This person is real!”
The teacher glanced around.
No one listened.
He lowered his voice and whispered quietly.
“So what? Are they really going to punish all of us? We are fortunate that the entire school participated. For Golden Circle, if the entire school is blown up, it will definitely not be easy to deal with it, so they are probably trying to end the problem with the most important vice-principal Jin Kyung-hee and teacher Jang Won-ki. So watch your mouth. “If you make a fuss first, something that could have ended well may become a problem.”
When I heard it, it turned out to be true.
The teacher who was making a fuss closed his mouth.
This school.
They were all accomplices.
Those who actively participated, and those who expressed their dissatisfaction but stood by.
The extent of each person’s fault was different, but no one was completely innocent.
If you’re the only one dirty in a clean environment, people around you will notice, but since everyone else is trash, an ironic situation has arisen where people don’t pay attention. The teacher in front of me was like that too. The senior with an impressive human-like face has been at Daesung Mirae High School for 10 years, but he has found his way to live.
I felt relieved.
If everyone were the same.
There was no need to make a fuss first.
While talking like that, we arrived at the teacher’s office, and a very difficult situation was caught in the eyes of the two teachers.
“… … !”
Hyunseong Kim.
He was in the teacher’s office.
The teacher’s room was as quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
Even though there were many teachers, everyone only paid attention to one student and did not open their mouths.
At that moment, Kim Hyun-seong spoke.
“Ask all teachers to gather in the teacher’s office right now.”
That’s something you can’t say as a student.
“I’ll give you 10 minutes.”
No one.
I couldn’t refute those words.
* * *
widely.
The teacher’s office door was closed.
As the teacher who arrived last took his seat, everyone’s attention focused on Kim Hyun-seong.
It was an absurd sight.
All the teachers at school.
I looked into the eyes of one student.
Kim Hyun-seong, who allowed silence to flow for a moment, calmly accepted the gaze and opened his mouth.
“As everyone knows, Vice Principal Jin Kyung-hee and Teacher Jang Won-gi can no longer return to their teaching positions. Since the charges are clear, you will have to worry about your life, let alone reinstatement. By the way, why are the teachers here still holding their positions? “I don’t think everyone has anything to do with the past incident.”
“… … .”
Everyone was silent.
All they could do was keep an eye on each other, and no one took the initiative.
“Among these, there are teachers who did not actively participate, but there are no teachers who did not stand by. No teacher can confidently deny that everyone is an accomplice. May I tell you a fun fact? The person who reported it to the Office of Education and the person who stimulated the Golden Circle to get teacher Jang Won-gi punished. It’s all me. This means that the future of teachers will be determined by how I behave in the future. Just in case, don’t even think about getting help from the Golden Circle. Teacher Jang Won-gi, who showed distrust, and Vice Principal Jin Gyeong-hee, who tried to trust him until the end. “The results were all the same.”
“… … What should we do? “There must be a reason why this place was created.”
One teacher took courage.
Kim Hyun-seong’s gaze turned towards him.
In his eyes mixed with anxiety, I could see the desire to survive somehow.
A situation like this.
I wanted eyes like this.
By cutting out Jin Gyeong-hee and Jang Won-gi, Kim Hyun-seong tried to complete the picture he had drawn in his head.
“Please stand by.”
“… … “What does it mean?”
“That’s literally it. No matter what instructions the Golden Circle gives or what happens at this school in the future. Close your eyes and block your ears so that you can overlook the worst with the excuse of incompetence. That’s my only request. “If it doesn’t become an obstacle, I won’t bother to remove it.”
everyone.
The pupils shook.
I never imagined that Kim Hyun-seong would make such a request.
Everyone was overwhelmed by the presence of just one person, Kim Hyun-seong.
“Keep this in mind. “I have shown it through my actions and that I never say empty words.”
That was the end.
widely.
I left the teacher’s office.
No matter how the teachers reacted, it was their choice from now on.
This marks the first stage of purification.
The teachers were roughly summarized.
From now on, it will be difficult for the external pressure of the Golden Circle to have any influence.
Since he had created a platform in which he could run wild as he pleased, he planned to immediately enter the second stage of purification.
Remnants of the Golden Circle.
Students including Myung-Hoon Choi.
They will be back soon.
And when they came back.
‘School will be very different.’
This is Daesung Mirae.
Soon, we will face a future like a thousand days.
