Chapter 17: Having Too Much of a Good Thing #4
It was the anticipated day when the exam results would come out.
Understandably, everyone was interested in the rankings of An Eun-young and Park Sung-kwang. After entering the school, the two people had always occupied the first and second places.
Who would be ranked first in the whole school this time?
“I think that Sung-kwang will win this time. These days, his rankings have been very high.
“But can he overcome the wall that is An Eun-young? On the last test, she got an average of 98 points. …The god of studying. Totally."
“But it seems that Eun-young didn't prepare much for the test because she was teaching Seo Tae-hyuk."
“No, Class President is eternally…."
"…Park Sung-kwang!"
"…An Eun-young!"
There was a fiery argument in the classroom.
"Hey! Be quiet! The results you've been waiting for have come out!"
The front door of the classroom had opened and Teacher Jung Nam-ho had entered. There was a big smile on his face.
Teacher Jung Nam-ho started to give out the report cards in the order of the attendance number.
People who got the desired result were cheerful. Those who got lower than they had expected sighed.
"Park Sung-kwang."
It was Park Sung-kwang's turn.
He was confident that he was first in the school, so he walked forward with a smiling face. However, the atmosphere was weird, and Teacher Jung Nam-ho had a concerned expression.
"… Is something going on at home?"
"Huh?"
Park Sung-kwang asked with a puzzled expression.
"Aiyah. We need to do something about this."
"……"
Park Sung-kwang felt like something was unfortunate as he returned to his seat with the report card.
Then he cursed as he opened the envelope.
"…Shit."
'Seventh overall.'
He was a person who had only ever been first or second. It was a satisfactory achievement.
If there was a problem, it was that he had always been behind someone.
Wooduk!
Park Sung-kwang grinded his teeth together.
There was only one reason for this outcome:
An Eun-young. That bitch had backstabbed him. He had copied An Eun-young's answer sheet. So, it seemed like she had sacrificed her own grades. An Eun-young would be seventh place as well. Park Sung-kwang glared at An Eun-young, thinking about how to get revenge.
An Eun-young soon received her report card. Teacher Jung Nam-ho's chest puffed up like he was proud.
"An Eun-young! The first in the school! You've worked hard! Go home and rest!"
An Eun-young smiled gently and bowed toward Teacher Jung Nam-ho.
Park Sung-kwang's eyes widened.
'First in the school?'
It couldn't be.
He had obviously copied An Eun-young's answer sheet exactly. So, why was there a different result…?
“And there is someone else I have something to say to. Tae-hyuk! Come out!"
Seo Tae-hyuk, who had been sitting quietly in his seat until then, walked forward.
Teacher Jung Nam-ho embraced Tae-hyuk enthusiastically.
“I was really surprised! Another first place student came from my class! Tae-hyuk! What did I say? I knew you could do it!"
“T-that is ridiculous!”
“Seo Tae-hyuk is first place?"
"Lies!"
The students fell into a panic at Teacher Jung Nam-ho's words. They knew that he had been studying hard with Class President. Still, it was the first place in the school. He was a gangster who was soon to be expelled.
Tae-hyuk said,
“Well, the problems came from the parts that Class President taught me. I was lucky."
