12. Transfer student from Seoul (5)
Moon Chang-ho’s expression hardened.
In response to a more aggressive response than expected, he spoke in a suddenly cold voice.
“Your words are a bit excessive. It’s meddling. No matter how divided we are by region, we are all partners leading education in Korea. Still, do you think I am not qualified to point out Daesan’s problems?”
[The world describes it as an act of overstepping authority.]
“This person is real!”
Quang!
I hit the table.
It was clearly hostile.
Moon Chang-ho could not accept this situation where the local superintendent of education was protesting against him.
“Hello, Superintendent Cho Dong-jin. Then you could end up in real trouble. Do you think I don’t know about the corruption going on not only in Cheonil but also in Daesan’s educational system? When we are in a mutually supportive relationship, we pretend not to notice the secrets and ignore them, but if something like that comes out, I can’t just sit still. “In order to solve the problem of Cheonil, we have no choice but to trouble the entire Daesan region.”
[That goes for me as well.]
“I beg your pardon?”
[A rumor has circulated in Daesan. There is a group called the Golden Circle, which plunges the lives of innocent students into abyss in order to fulfill specific requests. I would like to ask Superintendent Moon Chang-ho. Are you confident if you go into a mud fight? I can assure you, I will never die alone.]
Golden Circle.
Moon Chang-ho kept his mouth shut as the reality was openly mentioned.
I had no idea the other person would turn out like this.
[Sometimes people in Seoul make a big mistake. Since we couldn’t advance into Seoul, we’re content with securing a spot in the provinces. Of course, such people exist, but people like me are here because I was born and raised in this great mountain. Do you know what that means? There is no back for people like us. Since I have no intention of climbing to a high place, there will be no problem in my future life even if I have to fight with the superintendent of education who has great aspirations. Well, if you step down from the position of Superintendent of Education, you can just live the rest of your life without any regrets.]
The phone was not on speakerphone.
Chansu Jeong could not understand how the situation was going on due to the mumbling voice.
Just looking at Moon Chang-ho’s expression, it wasn’t positive.
Until the phone hung up like that.
[So, do it in moderation. The superintendent and I. Aren’t they too much of a dog to bite each other?]
Tuk.
Moon Chang-ho could not say anything.
* * *
I hung up.
Jo Dong-jin leaned back on the sofa and looked at the person sitting across from him.
“Daehwan. This is all I can do. “Moon Chang-ho is more of a coward than I thought, so I can’t criticize him openly, but if someone tackles me from behind, I can’t do anything about it.”
“Thank you, brother.”
Oh Dae-hwan and Jo Dong-jin.
They spent their childhood in the same neighborhood.
Since we had been hanging out together on the playground since we were young, we were able to reveal each other’s bottoms without hesitation.
Dongjin Jo said.
“But is it okay to handle things like this? If the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education steps forward, it would mean that the power of the group called the Golden Circle is formidable. So what if you see blood for no reason? “If those in power decide to dig up this Daesan’s corruption, you know that neither you nor I will be safe.”
“I know. “I’ve only been a teacher for a day or two, so you don’t even know that.”
Oh Dae-hwan sipped tea.
He smiled softly at the warm feeling traveling down his esophagus.
“By the way. Doesn’t this person’s heart have no choice but to lean towards someone who is willing to do something for him? Myungjin Construction, which will build a ‘new gymnasium’ for Cheonil, is a priority to me rather than a name I’ve never heard of, whether it’s the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education or anything else. older brother. No matter how much support it receives from the city, Myungjin Construction invested a lot of money in this project. This is not just lip service; it means that Ko Chang-beom, who is expected to be the next chairman of Myungjin Construction, is a person who can provide real benefits to us.”
“Then when the corruption is revealed. “The principal’s position is over.”
“I guess so. However, as long as Cheonil can be reborn as a prestigious school, it does not matter if I am not the principal. “My dream is a love and personal desire for my alma mater, not necessarily a desire to rule over it.”
Those words just now.
This was the reason why Oh Dae-hwan received support from Daesan.
Although he is a person who commits corruption on a regular basis, the sadness of being ignored because he was from a rural area came out in an unusual form. Love for your alma mater. He wanted to make the school he graduated from a prestigious school recognized nationally so that Oh Dae-hwan would no longer be ashamed of the fact that he was from Daesan.
The people of Daesan had no choice but to welcome it.
There is an educator who does something for Daesan, so how could someone from Daesan dislike such a person?
When it comes to crayfish, I prefer crab.
Arms are bent inward.
The same was true for Jo Dong-jin.
Oh Dae-hwan’s stained values did not seem that bad to Daesan citizens.
Oh Dae-hwan said.
“older brother. We need to think smarter now. There are many people in the world who have money and power, but very few people actually use it for great purposes. The reality is that all money and power is concentrated in Seoul, but Myungjin Construction, as a company from Daesan, spends a huge amount of money in Daesan. Is there any company in the world that pours as much money into Daesan as Myungjin Construction? doesn’t exist. “We just open our mouths for people who could do something for us, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.”
widely.
I put down the teacup.
Looking at the empty glass, Oh Dae-hwan showed a strange smile.
“And you don’t have to worry too much. The child we are looking after. From what I’ve seen, he’s smarter than I thought, so I’m sure he’ll never step down from his position as Superintendent of Education.”
* * *
The situation was a mess.
Although nothing was properly organized, Chan-soo Jeong had to call Tae-jun Choi.
Take off.
[Taejun. The situation is a little bit difficult now, but for now, you can ignore what the principal and teachers are saying. If they try to slap you like they did this time, just shake them off and get out. And the disciplinary committee will never be convened. They probably don’t want to have such a muddy fight.]
Something.
The nuance was strange.
Taejun Choi instinctively knew that a problem had arisen.
A little while ago, Chansu Jeong spoke as if he could solve the problem right away, but now he seemed sorry for the situation being out of control. If he does not receive the support of the Golden Circle, Choi Tae-jun will end up in a foreign land. Knowing that fact, Taejun Choi asked back in a slightly stiff voice.
“… … What if I get expelled?”
[That won’t happen. Even if there is, I will receive it back in Seoul. I have no intention of continuing to go there anyway.]
“under-.”

I sighed.
My face was numb.
The area where I was hit had not yet been properly treated, and I felt confused as the situation unfolded differently than expected. It’s only the first day of school. It was a request I took lightly, but from start to finish, nothing went as planned.
‘f*ck, I’m at a loss. ‘What on earth are you asking me to do?’
It was a dilemma.
What if I give up on a request midway?
Trying to gain Jeong Chan-soo’s support will actually lead to the problem of worsening relations with him.
However, it was not easy to proceed with the request.
Although I have only lived in Cheonil for one day, I have already experienced how strong the iron wall of Cheonil is. Dealing with Kim Hyun-seong with harsh words was not a problem. Even though he was a strong man who defeated Shin Young-min, he was confident of winning, but the problem is that the purpose of the request is ‘continuity’.
It’s not just one instance of bullying.
So that your grades drop.
To fall into despair.
Constant harassment was necessary.
I honestly didn’t have the confidence to break through the people who claimed to be Kim Hyun-seong’s guards and make them experience continuous despair.
‘It’s a matter that requires time. I can’t be confident of success either.’
But what if.
If only I could succeed.
Choi Tae-jun will receive the blind support of Jeong Chan-soo.
Taejun Choi said.
“I will. I will stay at Cheonil and make the request a success. However, please remember this one thing.”
That day was a mess.
Taejun Choi had made a decision.
He took the Golden Circle exam, earned a B grade, and gained wealth and fame.
A crossroads of choice.
It’s still the same now as it was then.
Taejun Choi showed sharp eyes.
“I saved the broker’s life once. “I am Choi Tae-jun, and no one else.”
* * *
The storm has passed.
Choi Tae-jun calmly returned to the classroom, and no one raised any more problems.
Jinwoo Park too.
Bae Seong-ho too.
Even the second-year gang.
He did not point out the person who made him into a blood clot.
As Cheon-il, there was no reason to bring up the issue and turn it into a muddy fight, and as Jeong Chan-soo was unable to solve the Daesan cartel, he ultimately decided that it had to be resolved in the ‘student’s domain.’ Thanks to this, the boring time passed. While a day or two passed without a problem, Taejun Choi felt a truly terrible feeling.
Inside an empty classroom.
Taejun Choi was left alone.
It was an outdoor class, but no one told him.
“… … .”
This wasn’t the first time something like that happened.
Taejun Choi shattered the peace of a thousand days.
Everyone, whether it was kids playing or regular students, hated Taejun Choi, and there was no one who would talk to him even if he was conscious of the gaze of those around him. Didn’t he touch Kim Hyun-seong, the King of Thousand Days, in the first place? There was no reason to go against the trend. So naturally, Taejun Choi was reduced to an outcast acknowledged by Cheonil.
It was absurd.
It was my first time being treated like this in my life.
Fighting skills are the most powerful power you can have during your school days, and Choi Tae-jun was confident that he could win against anyone in a thousand days. Then of course he should enjoy the most powerful power, but a thousand idiots never came close. He was treated as invisible, as if he wasn’t supposed to exist.
‘Damn you bastards.’
Malice was building up.
As the day passed, my anger grew.
‘I will definitely succeed in the request. I will make you, not only Kim Hyun-seong, but all of Cheonil’s bastards deeply regret treating me like this.’
It was a matter that required time.
First, I contacted my friends in Seoul.
The plan was to go on an expedition to Daesan, recruit surrounding schools, and put pressure on Cheon-il to make Kim Hyeon-seong a loner. He was confident that his plan would succeed. Since he was bringing in friends who were famous in Seongdong-gu, he did not think that even Daesan could stop him if he joined them.
And with harsh words.
I was confident even on my own.
Although it was only one fight, Taejun Choi was convinced that Daesan could not handle his class.
A few days have passed since then.
After finishing the morning classes, it was lunch time.
Just like any other day, Taejun Choi ate alone.
‘It’s so damn tasteless.’
Is it because I eat alone?
Or is it because it really doesn’t taste good?
Eating time was a struggle.
In Seoul, I waited until lunchtime for the snow to disappear, but lunchtime in Daesan went by so slowly that the second hand was barely noticeable.
I ate my meal quickly.
When the tray was almost empty, someone suddenly sat down in front of me.
Squeak.
widely.
“… … ?!”
I looked ahead in surprise.
Choi Taejun’s action was the king’s order.
Although no actual order was given, everyone acted that way because Kim Hyun-sung wanted it to.
But who?
Are you saying he sat in front of me?
Taejun Choi looked ahead with wide eyes and felt his expression quickly harden.
“Does it look like rice suits your taste?”
My hair stood on end.
A face I ruminate every night.
Kim Hyun-seong, the target of the request, suddenly appeared before my eyes.
