Episode 233 reunion (2)
Sierra’s story was sudden, but it was enough to stimulate Lois’ interest.
A look flashed in his eyes.
“What does that mean?”
“… “It is exactly what it says.”
“therefore… “It’s not a coincidence that you and I ended up together?”
“okay.”
“Surely the group formation wasn’t decided arbitrarily?”
“That’s right, groups are selected randomly. but… … .”
“… … ?”
“Except for a few students.”
“under… … .”
A sound of exasperation came out of Lois’ mouth.
“Tell me more about it.”
“Students at Transcendental Academy receive equal treatment regardless of status… This is a well-known fact. But that’s all a thing of the past now.”
In the early days, the Transcendental Studies Center did not disclose the background of its students in order to foster excellent Transcendental Scholars.
Additionally, the operating policy treated all students equally.
However, as the proportion of students entering the Transcendental Studies Center increased dramatically each year with the number of children from aristocratic families, the Transcendental Studies Center could not help but pay attention.
A representative example was the top-notch facilities at the Transcendental Learning Center.
So gradually time passes.
As the stagnant water gradually rotted away, rotten feelings began to vibrate throughout the academy.
“On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the academy. but… “There is a backroom deal going on behind the scenes.”
“Backroom deal?”
“When the children of a family with power and wealth enter an academic institution, the officials of the academic institution who received money accommodate the children of that family.”
“… … .”
“A representative example is the group appointment ceremony that is assigned at the beginning of the lower class. “The official of the institution who received the bribe puts the student in a group with other students with top grades or with students of their choice.”
“… Is that you and me?”
“It’s not just you and me. Bühn, Liam, Olivia, Evelyn. “Those are the only ones I know for sure, but there are probably a few more besides those four.”
“what? “What about them?”
Those mentioned by Sierra.
They were none other than the twins, the Flame Brothers and Sisters.
‘Look at this?’
I laughed out loud at the unexpected corruption of the academy.
Then Lois looked at Sierra.
“Is something strange?”
“… … ?”
“If, as you said, the fact that you and I became a team was also manipulated, don’t you know that you also went along with it? “I guess your family also engaged in backroom dealings.”
However, Sierra hated being paired with her on the first day.
So the story went around and it came back to the beginning.
Sierra responded with a bitter smile.
“I didn’t want to be paired with you through manipulation. also… My family doesn’t have enough money to do backroom deals. if… Have you ever heard of the Cassius family?”
“No, this is my first time hearing it. “Are you famous?”
“It’s famous… It’s not that famous. Because it’s a completely ruined family. And that ruined family is my family.”
“Then how on earth did you and I end up together?”
“that… “This was done by the Cyron family.”
“Syron? “The Cyron I know?”
“okay. My family owes a huge debt to House Cylon, and I… He is nothing more than a puppet under the control of the Siron family. All my expenses, including what I eat and what I wear, come from the Siron family, and in the end… It becomes our family’s debt again. I want it to die… hate.”
I don’t know what happened to Sierra’s family and Cyron’s family.
However, I could vividly feel the deep hatred and anger toward the Siron family in her eyes.
At this, Lois shook her head.
‘That’s why I was so desperate for the scholarship.’
Also, only then did it all make sense.
Why did Sierra refuse to team up with him?
And why couldn’t I talk about it.
‘No matter how unintentional it may be, it is true that I committed injustice.’
Moreover, the person who planned such a thing was the family that owned this Cyron territory.
I wouldn’t have been able to open my mouth easily.
Lois crossed her arms and looked at Sierra.
“Why are you telling me that now?”
“As I said before, I realized that hiding it wasn’t the only solution. The reason I keep hiding this is… I thought it was an example of the kindness you showed me. “I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.”
“Well, that’s okay.”
Lois waved her hand as if she was unfamiliar.
Sierra’s face looked very bright as she revealed her true feelings.
It was evident how much pain she had suffered due to this problem.
Of course, that wasn’t Lois’ concern.
There’s only one thing he’s interested in.
“by the way. Do you know who the person who takes money and manipulates group composition is?”
“… “I don’t even know that far.”

“hmm… okay? “It is certain that it exists.”
“That’s for sure.”
“That’s enough.”
A person who would intervene and even manipulate the operation of an academic institution would not be a low-ranking person.
‘I was told that as I went on, various corruptions would become apparent, but… … .’
This was even more rotten than he thought.
The corners of Lois’ mouth twitched slightly.
‘There’s a lot to fix.’
It seemed like extensive cutting would be necessary to cut out the rotten parts.
That was the day Sierra confessed her conscience.
One line of text has been added to Lois’s kill list.
* * *
As the end-of-semester evaluations ended and vacation approached, the atmosphere at the academy became quite excited.
As the tight school schedule came to an end and it was time to return to my hometown, it was natural for me to feel that way.
However, on the other hand, there were people who lived with worry.
“Uh, what should I do? My father will try to kill me when my grades come out this semester… … .”
“My mother told me to pack my bags and come back right away if I didn’t make it to the top 50… … . “If she’s not going to get even 50th place, then why pay all that expensive tuition?”
“ha… … .”
“ha… … .”
The results that will be announced soon caused concern to many people.
And apart from that, a bizarre scene unfolded within the academy.
“Hehe, is Lois there?”
“ah… … .”
Lois, who is openly frowning right in front of you.
A harsh sound came out of his mouth.
“Damn old man, here you go again.”
Moreover, they were horrified when they found out that the person receiving the ridicule was Meister Harold.
Of course, those who have seen the same situation over the past few days just have faces that say, ‘Is this today?’
And the person who was scolded in front of him also smiled kindly.
“Hehehe, you’re an old man.”
It was a scene that other Meisters who knew of his strict appearance would have been shocked to see.
Either way, Lois still frowned and shouted.
“Oh, Yeongtaeng! “I’m not doing it!”
It has been a long time since the manners that we maintained until now disappeared along with our patience.
Lois waved her hand as if shooing away a bug.
“Please go! “Why do you keep chasing me?”
“Uh-huh! Who said they were chasing me? “I was just going on my way and I was so happy to see you that I came to say hello.”
“… “Is this the student-only lounge?”
“Hmm!”
The student lounge in the dormitory is located directly opposite the professor’s lab.
No matter how much I thought about it, it would be absurd to say that I stopped by while passing by.
Harold, who was coughing in embarrassment, put an iron plate on his face and walked out proudly.
“Hmm! Well, I also have some errands to run.”
“Then why don’t you go take care of business?”
“… Instead of being like that, why don’t you really try writing a paper with me.”
It was this sound again.
This is something I’ve heard so many times over the past few days.
Lois’s expression became grim again.
“I won’t do it!”
“why! Why don’t you do it! “Are you going to let your knowledge rot like this?”
“Yes, that’s what you plan to do, right?”
“It is a waste of talent and a loss of human knowledge!”
“If you want to write a thesis like that, write it alone! “I won’t interfere?”
Harold’s face hardened at those words.
“You have been my technician and researcher for decades. “Do I look like an unscrupulous person who would steal a student’s research results, having never once coveted other people’s research over the years?”
“I’m not saying to intercept it, just take it! “I give permission?”
“Heaven and earth know that that is the result of Royce’s research!”
“If only you kept your mouth shut, you wouldn’t know?”
“Uh-huh! My conscience knows, so how can I pretend not to know this? Instead of that, let’s write it together. It’s really burdensome… okay! What about co-authors?”
“I’m a co-author and I’m Nabal… No thanks!”
Royce’s speaking style is a strange mixture of informality and formality.
And Harold passes this off without any hesitation.
People were left speechless at the strange behavior of the two.
‘What on earth does a Meister like about a guy like that…? … .’
‘A meister who comes without getting tired, or a guy who throws away such a meister… … .’
On the other hand, the students’ gazes watching him also contained envy and jealousy.
While the two were bickering, a student ran into the lounge.
“It floated, it floated!”
“what?”
“Your grades are up!”
“really?!”
As soon as the words were finished, the students rushed out.
However, Shiva and Harold asked as they looked at Lois, who was alone and not even moving.
“Why don’t you go, Lois?”
“Are you not going?”
Lois answered their questions indifferently.
“The outcome is obvious anyway, so why bother moving? “If you’re that curious, you should go alone.”
It was a voice dripping with confidence and composure.
In response, Shiva shouted, “I’ll be back” and left the lounge, while Harold looked at Lois with strange eyes.
So there are only two left.
Lois, who had become one body with the sofa in the lounge, treating Harold like an invisible person, suddenly stood up from her seat.
Harold, who was trying to cajole once again by taking advantage of the opportunity, shouted in surprise at the sudden situation.
“Uh, where are you going?”
“I’m going to run some errands.”
Lois then runs out of the house as Harold chases her.
Harold looked at his back and quenched his appetite.
“Tsk… “I guess I’ll have to step away today.”
Harold thought there was still plenty of time to appease Lois.
Putting his regrets behind him, he trudged back to his lab.
Meanwhile, Shiva arrives at the place where the end-of-semester grades are posted.
He stood on tiptoe at the back of the crowd and checked the report card.
The first thing that came into sight was the results of the control panel.
There were so many people that I couldn’t see any lower grades, but that was enough.
“wow… … .”
An exclamation came out of Shiva’s mouth.
The top five performers included all the names he knew.
-One. sierra
-2. carny
-3. Cannes
-4. tania
-5. kendrick
Royce and his group swept the top scores.
Shiva looked back with continued admiration.
In any case, the grades in the class you belong to are more important than the grades in other classes.
The technical class report cards posted side by side came into view.
-One. royce
There was no surprise.
Just in case, it turned out to be the same.
The name of Royce, who proudly took first place.
Shiva’s eyes widened as he looked down.
-2. Wow.
-3. Shiba.
His name was included in third place.
Shiba, feeling so dazed, pinched his cheek, but as expected, it wasn’t a dream.
‘How is this… … .’
The group he was in was eliminated in the round of 16.
Nevertheless, taking third place… … .
‘ah! take notes!’
Unlike the control class, the performance of the technical class cannot ignore the weight of the written exam.
Maybe your written test score wasn’t that bad.
While Shiba was so happy, an assistant came in and posted a large piece of paper.
[Level technical class written test scores]
Students’ names written under the large title.
And the moment they saw the name written at the top, a cry of astonishment came from the lips of the technology class students.
“This is crazy?!”
“oh my god!”
This is where the eyes of the technology class students were focused.
Lois’ name was written there, of course.
But what surprised the crowd more than anything else was the average score written next to Royce’s name.
-One. Royce 100/100
“average… 100 points?”
“therefore… “Full score?”
“Perfect scores in all subjects?!”
“Lois, that bastard, didn’t you just hand out the answer sheet and leave as soon as the test started?!”
“Now, wait a minute… “So, you’ve solved Professor Harold’s last problem too?!”
In the history of the Transcendental Learning Center, the world was buzzing with the highest score ever.
Shiva, mixed in, recalled what Lois had said.
[What about blank paper? I solved everything and came out.]
That’s how Lois answered her question about whether she came out with a blank paper.
At the time, I thought it was just a joke.
“that is… “It was real?”
Shiva’s face became blank as he realized the truth.
Meanwhile, the person who once again caused a huge stir.
Royce, who had escaped saying she had some business to do, was looking down at the Transcendental Science Building from high in the sky.
The reason he left the lounge was because the communication box rang urgently.
The signal that Lois had been waiting for so long.
“It’s me, Finn.”
[Lois, William has moved!]
It was the moment when foolish William, who had been making Lois’s costume explode, was caught in a trap.
