Academy Silver Gatekeeper - Academy Silver Gatekeeper chapter 99
99 – Let’s work hard, Examiner – 5
There is no need to go into detail.
Kang Min-seong is also a person in a position as great as Ma Hak-jun.
Even if the information reaches you, you will know the general news because it has already arrived.
The meeting in the dean’s office and the many conversations we had there.
And even one hypothesis I came up with in that situation.
As soon as the story ends, Kang Min-seong nods and opens his mouth.
“… The mutation hypothesis was expected. But the growth of monsters.”
“Do you think it is impossible, Chairman?”
“I mean, it hasn’t happened yet. It’s not like the current situation has been happening for several years, hasn’t a lot of time passed? It’s never happened before, so I can’t help it. I’m sorry if you’re upset.”
“Nope. it’s okay. I fully understand.”
The appearance of mutations among monsters has been happening for a long time.
On the other hand, the ‘growth’ of the monsters had never happened before.
Of course, it is natural to not easily agree with my hypothesis.
Still, I can’t help but feel a little sad.
I thought that things might be easier if I got help from Kang Min-sung… .
“But, no one else, you. Now that you, whom my granddaughter follows so much, say, I don’t think it’s something to be taken lightly.”
“… .”
Do I appreciate my ability or is it just because of Suhyeon?
I was a little confused, but decided to pass by pretending not to know.
The positive answer came out, so from my point of view, it was a good thing.
“If your hypothesis is correct, then it must be quite serious.”
“Why do you think so?”
“That is also according to your opinion. A situation where many talented people are stagnant. I agree with that.”
In the early days, it is said that everyone rolled like crazy without any ratings or anything like that.
Then, now that I have more time to spare, I further subdivide the number of people.
It was taken for granted to focus on missions appropriate for each level by applying grades.
It’s not that the people with special abilities were disappointed with their initial rank and sat down.
Rather, there are many cases where they work hard to dream of a higher grade.
However, the problem is when you reach a certain level by doing so.
Being satisfied with that and not thinking about moving any more.
Anyway, even if it’s a B grade, it’s enough to eat and live.
C grade isn’t too bad either. All you have to do is escape the class D.
I don’t even want an A grade. No one goes there.
It’s good to live in a high place, but it’s enough if it’s not the lowest place.
As such thoughts spread, it became a C grade, or a B grade no matter how high it was.
Most of them only reached that point and stopped trying any further.
“It’s not that I don’t understand. Even if it’s not that difficult to go from D to C, going from C to B and from B to A takes effort and time that is incomparable to that.”
“Even then, I’m not sure if the ratings will go up.”
“That’s it. If you are satisfied with your current grade right now and focus only on your work, you will have no trouble making a living. It’s not like there’s an absolute lack of superpowers like before, it’s because there are enough of them.”
The behavior of silver level students at the academy is also part of that.
There is no reason to suffer and die, just do it in moderation, it is enough now.
I did all sorts of training to improve my grade, and I put off dungeon subjugation and gate processing.
If you don’t get very positive results, you’re just wasting your time.
In addition, the number of people with special abilities is increasing, so it is saturated here and there.
If you don’t come, you can ask someone else to do it, and if you are pushed out like that, your work will fall.
This is why they are trying to work only in a certain line.
In the past, a person with special abilities who were the only heroes to save mankind.
However, in the current situation where it has become a job, it was probably a natural result.
“This is ridiculous when you think about it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“In the end, the sure way is to become stronger on your own. I have to grit my teeth and do it in order to save my life. Heh heh heh! It feels like it will remind me of an old scene.”
Existing superpowers and academy students all have to roll like dogs.

Just like the early world when monsters raged and gates appeared here and there.
Those who don’t try will be weeded out and only those who overcome themselves can advance.
Kang Min-seong seemed to really like that fact.
“… Did you, by any chance, know that and push the students?”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it? Bronze students can say that they did it to advance to silver, but there is no reason to instill a sense of competition and urgency to reach the silver or gold levels. Examiner Baek Seo-jin, what if you are a bad person who is intent on bullying students?”
To be precise, what Minsung Kang said is correct.
However, if I admit that, there are too many things that cannot be explained.
How did you know about the cataclysm of monsters you had never experienced?
Even about what appeared in time for it to happen.
It’s usually not a nuisance. So, you have to mention it again.
“It just happened to fit.”
“Is there another reason?”
“If you are the president, you must have already heard about it. Isn’t it?”
“What is that… ah.”
From Kang Min-sung’s expression, ‘I made a mistake.’ The energy called passes by.
Perhaps Soo-hyeon talked about it. My ‘story’.
There is something I realized after losing a friend who was active as a person with special abilities in the past.
Rather than being complacent, it is important to move forward even when it is difficult.
In order to let the students know about it, they are enduring unpleasant sounds and uncomfortable gazes.
Even if Suhyeon had kept her mouth shut, she must have heard it through someone else.
It was because there was no way that Kang Min-seong was unaware of the fact that Ma Hak-jun also knew.
“Hmm. Hmm. that, i’m sorry If I ever uncovered the past… .”
“Not at all. Rather, it did not have a good effect thanks to it.”
Kang Min-seong nodded his head right away as he made a corner to escape.
I’m right. I’m coming back with good results, so my friend will be able to live forever.
‘sorry. A friend whose name I don’t even know.’
Even if I worry about it, I worry about it so much that I’m worried that I’m going to have a cerebral palsy.
But I can’t help it. It’s in the middle of making a thick broth, but you can’t take out the beef bone.
“… Examiner Baek Seo-jin.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“How, I want to help you once. Are you okay?”
What is this all of a sudden? would you like to help? What?
When I looked at Kang Min-seong with that meaning in mind, he immediately continued.
“It is still just a hypothesis. So, when the countermeasures you mentioned are brought out, the social atmosphere that will say that it is not just forcing sacrifices and obligations for no cost again. He said he would help solve it to some extent.”
While Suhyeon was kidnapped by Elder and brainwashed.
Kang Min-seong showed great distrust of the government itself, including the Association of People with Extraordinary Ability.
Then he even acted independently, and in the end, he even went out of power.
Because of that part, I did not expect much from Kang Min-seong.
Momentarily, ‘It’s not very helpful.’ did you think
stupidly. It seems that he has not yet subconsciously accepted the world as it is.
But not anymore. Because Suhyeon is by Kang Minseong’s side.
Kang Min-seong also did not lose all power while taking independent actions with distrust.
Rather, it was letting me know that I had become a strong supporter with trust in me.

“Where did you go, so late? I thought you couldn’t stand it and went back.”
At Ma Hak-jun’s words, Kang Min-seong shrugged once.
Then, I took out the words I heard from Baek Seo-jin a while ago to my friend.
“I heard the rough story. The reason you called me was probably because of a different hypothesis put forward by examiner Baek Seo-jin than the mutation hypothesis, right?”
“what. You said you were going to see your granddaughter, so was Judge Baek Seo-jin with you?”
“Suhyun followed that young man too much. Now, rather than looking for Suhyeon directly, it is more accurate to say that if you find examiner Seojin Baek, Suhyeon will be by his side.”
“… .”
Ma Hak-jun, who was staring at Kang Min-seong blankly, quickly smiled.
Not good. When he smiled like that, he was Ma Hak-jun, who always joked around.
“It’s just sad to see. right?”
“What are you talking about? I am not sad at all.”
“Stop talking nonsense, be honest. I already have a sad feeling all over my face.”
“It’s okay, because it isn’t.”
No matter how much he said no, Ma Hak-jun kept asking Kang Min-seong over and over again.
A prank and revenge on a slightly immature friend who embarrasses herself every time.
Knowing that, Kang Min-seong suited it appropriately.
“Your heart is already full of sadness, what?”
“… yes. It’s sad. did it happen? Don’t be sad! Suhyeon is not interested anymore… .”
“What are you so sad about? I can’t stay by your side forever.”
Ma Hak-jun, who lightly clicked his tongue, went back to the main topic.
“How do you see it? Do you really think there is a possibility in the hypothesis of examiner Baek Seo-jin?”
“There is always a possibility. To be honest, I can’t say it’s zero.”
“It is, but… It’s the growth of monsters. If this is done wrong, it may cause great social chaos.”
At those words, Kang Min-seong clicked his tongue.
“When was there no confusion? Even when those monsters first appeared, and when the untreated gate became a dungeon. There was always confusion. You just have to get used to it.”
“Are you not even worried?”
At Ma Hak-jun’s question, Kang Min-seong shook his head.
And, of course, I am worried about the juniors who have been stagnant for quite a long time.
How could they not be worried about the sudden whipping to those who were like wagons in mud?
“But, isn’t it dangerous now if we don’t get out of the mud immediately?”
Tapping Ma Hak-jun on the shoulder, Kang Min-seong continued.
“Let’s wait. If that doesn’t happen anymore, the mutation hypothesis is correct. Rather, if such a phenomenon continues to be reported, then the hypothesis of examiner Baek Seo-jin is correct.”
At his words, Ma Hak-jun finally nodded.
