Academy Silver Gatekeeper - Academy Silver Gatekeeper chapter 83

83 – When to change – 2

“Hey, did you hear about that too?”

“yes. There has been a lot of talk lately because of that.”

“Honestly, I wonder if that’s such a big deal? In the end, you did it because you wanted to.”

“That’s by the way, because this is something anyone can catch if they put their mind to it.”

A few days after Baek Seo-jin returned to the academy.

In one news, students were increasing their opinions about the work whenever they got together.

Starting with one Gold student not too long ago.

Even after that, a small number of gold grade students visited Baek Seo-jin.

The reason is, of course, that he wants to see the silver level screening.

They had already been confirmed as gold, and they were not even capable of being demoted.

Originally, the rating itself is impossible. Because they are already gold tier.

It is impossible unless you have been demoted for reasons listed in the school rules.

But somehow they saw the silver level screening.

And the result, of course, was to sink to bronze.

Many students who heard the news responded that it was natural.

It’s not that they were forced to, it’s a grade evaluation that they received because they wanted to.

He even promised himself that he would be demoted to bronze if he failed the screening.

However, some students expressed negative opinions about the work.

As a result, if the gold level is reduced, opinions on what to do with external support.

As for why they allowed those who couldn’t get the silver level screening in the first place, it was a kind of excess of authority.

A minority wished that Baek Seo-jin stepped down because this incident became a public debate.

After that, the relatively easy silver level review will come back.

That’s why they don’t publicize this issue only inside the academy.

I tried to spread the story even outside and get the Buddha to come out of it.

Abuse of public power is a very unpleasant thing from the point of view of the ministry.

When he recognized that he had done something that a low-level public official did not even allow.

Wouldn’t it be obvious what action the ministry would take?

However, the answer to that objection was as follows.

[ We will inform you about the complaints that have been received. ]

[ … As in, it is inappropriate to make it an issue because the parties strongly wanted it. ]

What happened this time was not a problem.

It was what the gold grade students wanted, and they acknowledged it too.

In that situation, it was difficult to take issue with the fact that examiner Baek Seo-jin saw the review.

Thanks to this, complaints or objections to the ministry have been fuzzy.

Even if I tried to publicize it, I couldn’t even try because I gave a definite answer that there was no problem.

Rather, the students who had to see the silver level screening seemed to welcome it.

It’s true that I felt a little unfair because I felt like I was the only one suffering.

In such a situation, it was comforting to know that even the gold ranks came on their own.

“Honestly, if it’s at the level of Judge Baek Seo-jin, it’s a good idea to judge.”

“I know yeah. These days, they look at me more closely than before.”

“I fixed it as the examiner told me to fix, so the movements that I had been struggling with all this time became very easy.”

The evaluation of the judges was incomparably better than before.

As expected, it was the fight with Elder that had the greatest impact.

If a person with such good skills is in charge of the judge.

There are many students who wonder if they can get something there.

And as if responding to it, Baek Seo-jin also said in the previous sharp examination.

Now, rather than being a judge, he acted like a professor watching practice.

Informing students of their weaknesses and giving advice on how to fix them.

Lastly, he also pointed out in detail the strengths that need to be sharpened more.

Of course, still he wouldn’t allow a single student beyond silver.

Literally the silver gatekeeper, I can feel the will not to let anyone go.

However, he showed that doing so with malice was absolutely not the case.

Someone who has a reason for doing something like that.

It was the gaze of most students who are currently looking at Baek Seo-jin.

He told his story, and his skills were also proven.

As evidence, not only gold ratings but also platinum ratings are favorable eyes.

Since they are positive, the students who were worried about it were also dispelled from their doubts.

Naturally, the students’ grades are still staying at bronze.

Can’t go over to silver. The examiner does not approve the pass.

That part sometimes made them quite uncomfortable.

But are you losing money by doing so? That’s not it.

Rather, in lectures, especially in training guidance in the practical part and sparring with other students.

Unlike before, they could feel that they were changing little by little.

And it wasn’t just the students’ misunderstanding.

“Everyone. The overall level seems to have gone up a lot these days. Very good.”

Bronzes as bronzes, and silvers as silvers.

The professors in charge of each grade even clapped differently than usual.

He also said that if we keep going like this, everyone will be able to grow one step further.

These were the words of the professors who were trained in real battles.

It’s not a sugar coating on the mouth or an act of ridicule.

It was the advice of seniors who sincerely admired and supported.

Not everyone was like that. Some students are still in place.

And what those students have in common is that if you wait, that annoying examiner will disappear.

They were the ones who kept holding on saying they didn’t want to do such stupid things.

Thanks to this, as time passed, one fact became clearer.

It’s annoying, difficult, completely different from before, and not very pleasant.

In the end, following the words of examiner Baek Seo-jin has created a beneficial part.

And one day, a few days after that.

“Hey! oh my god! I heard that a bronze one just got promoted to a silver rank?!”

“really? Aren’t you lying?”

“Really. just popped up Bronze rank promoted to silver! That too directly to the examiner Baek Seo-jin!”

“who! Who are you! Who liked that picky examiner!”

Who really got the promotion? Who got permission from the gatekeeper?

Several bronze grade students came to mind in the minds of the students.

As well as the existing Bronze and Silver level students.

The gold rating, which was gradually being judged, also showed great interest.

Even the Platinum level students seemed to be curious about it.

First of all, the most likely one is Lee Hyun-woo, who has made a big difference these days.

He was a person known for his tremendous hard work, even being nicknamed the training ghost.

Originally, Lee Hyeon-woo had no special features.

I’m just enthusiastic about everything, to the extent that I’ve only heard the expression ‘Jeong-do’?

Then, while being judged by Baek Seo-jin, his skills suddenly improved.

Even the silvers who were training next to me recently got scared.

It was he who ignited the fire in the judging of the other bronze grades.

A few other students were mentioned, but most expected Lee Hyeon-woo.

If it were him, he would have gone up to silver right away and even aimed at gold at once.

And soon after, the student who was honored with the first silver promotion was revealed.

However, the name attached to the silver rank promotion list was not Lee Hyun-woo.

“what’s this. Kim… Su-hyun? Kim Soohyun?”

“to? No, wait. who? My name is Kim Soo-hyun?”

“Isn’t it Lee Hyeon-woo? why?”

At first, there were obvious signs of bewilderment and surprise.

Because there was someone who was completely different from the person they expected.

However, as time goes by, the embarrassment and surprise disappear.

‘I knew it would be like this.’ is filled with disappointment instead.

“If it’s Kim Soo-hyun, that’s him. Chairman Kang Min-seong’s granddaughter.”

“Oh, fuck. what. You pretended to be great, but in the end you fell for Kang Min-seong?”

This was Baek Seo-jin surrendering to Kang Min-seong and his family.

Whether voluntarily or unintentionally, it seemed that he chose Kim Soo-hyun because of that.

Kim Soohyun. A female student with nothing special except that she is Kang Min-sung’s only granddaughter.

Still, Lee Hyun-woo has shown overwhelming growth recently.

However, Kim Soo-hyun did not reveal anything special in the lecture.

Just like when I first entered the school, it was mediocre.

It was to the point where I wondered if it really was that Kang Min-seong, the granddaughter of that sword demon.

“This isn’t it. Not really.”

“Hey. Let’s go right away.”

“Where?”

“I’ll go get it. Have you been doing that all this time?”

Some of the angry students took the initiative.

They united and ran to Baek Seo-jin as soon as the lecture was over.

Was it just with this thought that the judges were so meticulous?

While only talking slickly, and letting other students go through high school.

The person who is promoted is not a student who will try hard, nor a student who has good skills.

I wonder if he was just a ‘golden spoon’ student with a good family he was born in.

“Examiner… .”

Chaeyoung-! visor-!

However, their objections were not met.

To be precise, he was silenced due to a sparring that took place in the screening room.

The student wielding the sword on the left was Platinum.

It is certainly. Platinum levels are all known for being at the celebrity level of the academy.

From noblemtl.net

Judging by the serious expression on his face, it seems that he is working very hard in sparring.

And the Platinum level opponent is none other than that.

“Are you Kim Soo-hyun?”

Even when he entered the school, he was Kim Soo-hyun, who was at a level that was worse than the bronze.

Thanks to this, the students who had gathered after hearing the news had to stare blankly at the scene.

Kang Min-seong’s only granddaughter was unbelievably poor.

I couldn’t even swing my sword properly.

That was the cold evaluation of Kim Soo-hyun that the students remembered.

But now, as if in denial of all that.

There was Kim Soo-hyun, who showed a very cool swordsmanship.

Without making any concessions, he was sparring with the Platinum rank.

yes. One Bronze level student.
