chapter 25
25 – That was it (6)
“How is it?”
“The fastest and most effective thing is to ask Professor Heo Tae-hyun.”
I also thought it would come first.
“Professor Heo might be able to extract information through unknown routes.”
“It is, but… Professor Heo is a bit…”
“Do you think it’s going to hit you?”
Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo accurately pointed out my inner thoughts.
“Originally, no one who does spying is trusted and not trusted. I will never say anything stupid in front of Professor Heo.”
“Then tell me another way.”
Professor Yu told me the second method.
“This is a game of odds, but check out the academy Han Min-ha’s parents went to.”
I knew what Professor Yu was trying to say.
If they’re from our academy, you can get their personal information by going through their academic records.
But it could be another academy, and even checking your academic records might not give you any clues.
In that sense, Professor Yu described it as a battle of probabilities.
“Wouldn’t there be another way to find out something rather trivial than nothing?”
“I see. Professor Yu is right. I will try that. Thank you.”
“But… don’t dig too deep. If you don’t want to, get out of here.”
Professor Yoo said to me as I was about to get up from my chair.
“As you know, the Administration is a scary place. Maybe they’re trying to find out about you by noticing that you’re asking the Administration for their names.”
“I’ll be careful. Even if the management bureau questioned me, they’d just say it’s a student advisor problem.”
“Well… that would be nice.”
“Anyway, thanks for the advice, Professor Yoo. I’ll live a life without a doubt later.”
Then Professor Yu shook his head with a low smile.
“Bulmakchang is what Seyeong asked me to go eat. If you’re going to buy it, I’ll treat you to a wine bar later.”
“I will.”
After leaving the general attack classroom, I pondered for a while on where to go before making a decision and moving on.
First of all, you should ask Han Min-ha where her parents came from.
* * * * *
After the lecture on super strength, Yu Hee-won used the break time to reject followers who wanted to go to the canteen.
“It’s okay. I’m not going.”
“Heewon, are you still not in a good mood because of the basic defense studies?”
The basic defense work is to say that the upper class students pretended to ask Professor Hyeon and twisted it.
A top class with excellent elites hidden through basic evaluation.
Some were the offspring of rich and powerful families, while others had their natural talents brought to them by their parents.
Students who have already graduated and are guaranteed a grade of C or higher.
How will professor Gyo Hyo-hyun be seen by such children?
He always wears an achromatic suit and coat with a gloomy expression, uses a quiet tone and behavior, and, of course, is a defense technique that is not popular because his subject is not popular.
From the first day of class, they fired guns and ordered assistants to help them meditate, beating students with iron pipes and shooting rubber bullets.
In addition, there is no news, video, or the usual paparazzi shots to mention.
That’s why I suddenly asked such a question in class.
There, Professor Hyeon replied that he was a retired hero, not active, and that he was a C-class.
To upper-level students who are ignorant of the world and pierce the sky with their arrogance, Professor Hyun-Hyeon will be seen as a gray scarecrow who has no skills but sits down as a professor.
But the followers made a big mistake.
That is, Professor Hyun-hyun is Yoo Hee-won’s advisor.
One of the two reasons Yoo Hee-won chose Professor Gyo-hyun as his advisor was that he liked him.
And Yoo Hee-won has a strong sense of possessiveness.
It was like touching the cherished bone of a fierce dog with a bad temper who would bite anyone.
However, Yoo Hee-won’s reason for rejecting her followers was not just because they broke the professor’s string.
Yoo Hee-won had a place to go.
“Where are you going, Heewon!”
Ignoring the calls of her followers, Yu Hee-won took out a piece of paper.
It was the timetable for the lower classes selected by Assistant Professor Lee Bitna, and Yoo Hee-won looked at it and headed to the classroom on the other floor.
I don’t like it, but I’m on my way to meet Han Min-ha.
Professor Hyeon asked Yoo Hee-won to help Han Min-ha adapt well to the academy and raise her grades.
Yoo Hee-won wasn’t one to follow others, but I thought I had to put in that much effort in order to maintain a good relationship with Professor Hyun.
It is difficult to raise the upper middle rank to the upper rank, but it must be easy to raise the lower rank to the middle rank.
And if it was to adapt to life at the academy, it would be enough for Han Min-ha to be dragged around by Yoo Hee-won.
Because she was Yu Hee-won, who can objectively see her influence among her classmates, she knows that if she takes care of herself, she will not be ignored by other children who are sensitive enough.
great. I’ll do it.
Because that’s nothing.
Yoo Hee-won, who had just climbed the stairs to the lecture hall, stopped abruptly.
Professor Hyun was standing in front of the lecture room on the other side of the hallway.
Yes, Professor Gyo-hyeon, wearing a dark gray coat with a tired face, was talking to Han Min-ha.
The basic defense class is quite far from here.
Did you walk all the way here to meet Han Min-ha?
Is there something important enough to be done face-to-face rather than on the phone?

Maybe it’s a map thing?
By the way… I’m also an advisor, so why are you only talking to Han Min-ha like that?
Read from noble mtl dot com
Maybe I just want to tell you the same thing, but maybe I met Han Min-ha first.
no…? Then why not just leave it in the group room?
I was thinking all sorts of things, but after the conversation, Gyo-hyeon walked to the other side of the hallway.
Han Min-ha, who was about to return to the classroom, noticed Yu Hee-won standing over there and carefully raised her hand.
“Heewon…?”
“Hey. Come here.”
Yoo Hee-won waved his hand, and Han Min-ha hesitated and approached.
“What did you and the professor talk about?”
“Ah. You asked which academy my parents came from. That’s it.”
“Why do you ask that?”
“I don’t know. He just…he said he was curious…”
“But why are you asking in person and not on the phone?”
“That… I stopped by on my way to the administrative office…”
While doing so, he slowly looked at Yu Hee-won’s eyes.
Fortunately, Yoo Hee-won did not seem very angry.
It was because there was no big problem with Han Min-ha’s answer.
What else am I saying… It wasn’t a big deal.
Yoo Hee-won, feeling relieved, said with a sarcastic smile.
“You’re a public class now? What are you doing?”
“Uh…? How did you know I was a public lecturer?”
Then Yoo Hee-won erased her smile and asked coldly.
“What did I ask?”
“Ah… what are you doing in public class… nothing… just… thinking about going to the library…”
“store.”
“yes?”
“Do I have to say it twice?”
“No… let’s go. I’ll buy you some bread…”
“Aren’t you without money? Okay, follow me.”
Yoo Hee-won, who threw the word beggar, felt sorry for her, but she didn’t express it and turned her body with an upright attitude.
Han Min-ha followed Yu Hee-won with quick steps like a lady-in-waiting.
* * * * *
I went to the administrative office, received a warm welcome from the staff, and headed straight to the chief’s office.
Fortunately, Han Min-ha’s parents were all from our Grafford Academy.
If you ask the administrative chief, you can probably see the school record.
“Chief. Do you have time?”
Hearing my voice, Chae Ga-yoon raised his head and smiled.
Chae Ga-yoon was still tired of work with dark circles on her face.
It was like looking at a pile of laundry tightly packed with frizzy hair and a faded gray look.
similar to me
“Professor? What are you doing? Come in.”
“It’s nothing else, there are graduates’ registers in the administration office? I’m trying to find someone.”
“Register? Uh… I can’t just look at that and request to read it.”
“It’s a reading request.”
“Yes. We have to get the final approval from our director and dean…”
The head of administration and the dean are the line of approval? That’s a bit difficult…
“But who are you looking for?”
“He’s a good old colleague of mine, and I was just curious.
“Ah… I need to request a reading…”
Chae Ga-yoon, who had been thinking for a while, opened her mouth as if thinking of something.
“Then Professor, I’ll let you see it secretly… Buy me a meal.”
“great.”
When he answered willingly, it was Chae Ga-yoon who was rather taken aback.
Chae Ga-yoon looked at me blankly and then came to his senses.
“I… Really?”
“Yes. The first one you said is the manager.”
“aaa That’s right, hahahaha… then… uh… wait a minute?”
Chae Ga-yoon hurriedly pounded on the keyboard and asked me for the name of the person I was looking for.
“This is Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah.”
“Han Tae-woo… Seo Ji-ah… Umm…”
Chae Ga-yoon frowned as she rolled the mouse wheel.
“Um… wait a minute…”
Chae Ga-yoon, who was staring at the monitor with a blank expression on her face, tilted her head.
“It’s strange…? There’s no one like that?”
“Yes…?”
Could it be that… even erased the academy register…?
This is something I never thought of…
I really have to go to Professor Heo…
Chae Ga-yoon asked while thinking hard about building a strong mental barrier.
“How old are the people you’re looking for?”
“Age? Um…”
Parents of high school students, they must be in their late thirties or early forties at the earliest.

Most will be more than that.
“Maybe that’s it.”
“Ah, so there is none. You have to look at that in the archives separately.”
“A document?”
“Yes. Old school registers are due to be destroyed soon anyway, so I didn’t bother to transfer them electronically and just kept the originals.”
“That’s good. Then can you get into the archives?”
This time, Chae Ga-yoon showed hesitation.
However, since I firmly replied that I would buy food, I immediately changed my mind and stood up.
“I’ll open it.”
* * * * *
The archives are located in the basement of the administrative building.
The first time I entered the password, and the second time I read my fingerprint, opened the thick iron door twice and went inside.
“It’s bogus.”
“It’s not like that. It’s a place where nothing happens even if a nuclear bomb falls.”
In the dark archives, I could feel the unique coolness of the basement and the smell of old paper.
In addition to the school register, there were old documents that were about to be destroyed, so the inside was quite complicated.
“Chief. I’m sorry, but I’ll look for it myself.”
“Yes…? Ah… um… Yes. Okay. Then I’ll wait outside.”
“thank you.”
After Chae Ga-yoon left, I slowly moved to the place where the school records were kept.
The school register was organized by year and name, so I started looking through the contents one by one, roughly estimating the time.
I wanted to do this, but I had to do it this way.
The quest I was given to make Han Min-ha an S-class.
In order to break it, what you are doing now is indispensable.
After a while, I was able to find Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah’s school records.

Moving to a well-lit area, I leaned against the iron shelf and opened Han Tae-woo’s school register.
The first page was a personal statement with a photo.
While looking at Han Tae-woo’s photo, Han Min-ha moved her gaze downward, thinking that she did not resemble her father.
But at that moment, the mental barrier suddenly began to vibrate violently.
“Ugh…!”
As I gritted my teeth and groaned, I heard someone calling my name.
“Professor Hyun.”
I turned my head and saw a man in a purple suit looking at me.
