Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 487



Only Noblemtl

487. Genius and Hard Worker (2)

Jang Yu-joong took a sip of water to calm his expression.

Jang Yu-jung took a moment to catch his breath and examined the students one by one.

Jang Yu-jung was a little confused now.

I thought there was only one person who came close to the correct answer.

That scholar was none other than Peng Hanbin from Habuk Pengga.

But the student himself wasn’t raising his hand.

That wasn’t all.

Even the Confucian scholar who had kept the lamp burning all night sat silently.

The sight of everyone else raising their hands confidently was something that even he, who was praised as a genius scholar, could not understand.

Jang Yu-jung decided to first find out the truth.

“You tell me.”

The student he was referring to was none other than Choi Yu-ji.

Choi Yu-ji stood up from her seat and smiled.

“The clue to the correct answer I found is ‘habit.’”

“Oh, so you found the next clue?”

“The next thing I found was the word ‘學 (學)’.”

“That’s amazing.”

“No. It would have been impossible without the help of other students.”

“Hmm, so you didn’t find it by yourself?”

“I didn’t find the answer alone. I thought it was impossible to find the answer alone. I thought that finding the clue to the answer in this vast Confucian Academy was like finding a needle in a haystack. That’s why I gathered the strength of the Confucian scholars.”

“Oh, you’ve figured out exactly what I meant by asking the question. So, have you found the rest of the clues?”

“Yes, I found it.”

“I heard that the other students agreed with you, so I will ask them freely. What about the rest of the text?”

“If you put all the letters together, you get the word ‘If you learn and practice from time to time, why not say it?’”

“Then I guess it would be better to finish interpreting it as well.”

“This is a phrase from the book of learning, ‘Learning and practicing it in due time, how can it not be enjoyable?’”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“thank you.”

As Choi Yu-ji slightly lowered her head, the surroundings began to become noisy.

It was the exclamation of the students who were on the same boat as Choi Yu-ji.

“and.”

“They say that no student has passed Dean Jang Yu-jung’s exam… … .”

Jang Yu-jung continued speaking, leaving their cheers behind.

“Why do you think I brought this up?”

“I think it’s meant to awaken our mindset.”

As Choi Yu-ji bowed her head slightly, Jang Yu-jung continued speaking.

“That’s amazing. Then tell me the solution process.”

“Phew, what do you mean by the solution process?”

“If you solve a problem, shouldn’t you explain how you found the clues and how you combined them?”

“… … .”

Choi Yu-ji suddenly became a dumb person who had eaten honey.

He didn’t find the clue; he bought it.

Because of this, it was impossible to know where the clue came from.

Choi Yu-ji turned her head and looked at Yang Seok-bong.

Then he winked urgently.

Of course, Yang Seok-bong had no idea where the clue came from.

At that moment, Choi Yu-ji’s head turned violently.

“I can’t tell you where I found that clue here.”

“Can I ask why?”

“Because we all found that clue together. I will tell you after discussing it with the other students.”

“hmm.”

Jang Yu-joong looked at Choi Yu-ji while brushing his beard.

The gaze was so intense that Choi Yu-ji found herself avoiding eye contact without even realizing it.

Jang Yu-jung glanced around the classroom and continued speaking.

“All students who have pieced together the clues to the problem, raise your hands. If your solution is correct, I will give you all the highest marks.”

At that moment, all the students who sympathized with Choi Yu-ji raised their hands.

Everyone raised their hands except for exactly two students.

Jang Yu-jung nodded after seeing that sight.

“I’ll be out for a bit, so let’s discuss it.”

“thank you.”

As Choi Yu-ji bowed her head slightly, Jang Yu-jung continued speaking.

“But know this.”

“… … .”

“If you fail to explain the solution, I will consider it cheating. This includes all the students who raised their hands just now.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Yu-joong left his seat.

In an instant, the classroom turned into a scene of chaos.

Everyone started to surround Choi Yu-ji.

In the midst of the chaos, Yang Seok-bong, with a calm expression, cleared his mind.

Actually, I debated whether to raise my hand or not.

But he couldn’t raise his hand because he was under contract with Hanbin.

Yang Seok-bong quietly looked at Choi Yu-ji, who was at the center of the chaos.

Explain how you gathered the clues to the correct answer?

Choi Yu-ji couldn’t figure this out.

Even the person who decided the answer doesn’t know.

At that moment, Choi Yu-ji walked towards Yang Seok-bong, pushing away the students who had gathered around him.

Choi Yu-ji, who was walking while exhaling breath, stopped in front of Yang Seok-bong.

“Tell me.”

“What are you talking about?”

As Yang Seok-bong tilted his head, Choi Yu-ji quickly continued speaking.

“Tell me where you found the clue. Didn’t you sell me the answer?”

Choi Yu-ji’s one word brought about quite a big ripple effect.

The surrounding area was bustling, and everyone surrounded Choi Yu-ji and Yang Seok-bong.

Yang Seok-bong answered calmly, not paying attention to the gaze.

“Haha, how would I know that?”

“Didn’t you say you’d pay money if it wasn’t the right answer?”

At Choi Yu-ji’s words, a voice was heard from behind.

“That’s the case when it’s not the right answer.”

Everyone turned their heads at that voice.

There, Hanbin was smiling brightly.

Choi Yu-ji tilted her head when she saw Han-bin suddenly barging in.

“Why are you interfering?”

“The one who found the clue is me.”

“Heh heh, you found a clue? You, the one who made a bet with me, gave me the clue?”

“That’s right.”

“Then you will have to take responsibility for this disaster.”

“I will take responsibility.”

“Then tell me where you got your clue.”

“Will it be okay if I tell you? If I tell you, you will win this match. But you want me to tell you? And if it is not the correct answer, I will pay you ten times the amount, but if it is the correct answer, then the deal between you and Yang Confucian is fair.”

“… … .”

Choi Yu-ji looked at Han-bin without saying a word.

Although I felt bad, there was no flaw in Hanbin’s words.

As Hanbin said, he got the answer right.

Although the answer is correct, the problem is in danger of being solved because the solution process is not revealed.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Do I look like a Confucian student who came here to study?”

“… … .”

“I am a traveler who will stay here quietly.”

“Then why did you make a bet with me?”

“Didn’t you make the first bet? And I didn’t make this bet to make some money.”

“You mean you don’t need money? Tell me where you got that clue.”

“You misunderstood what I said.”

“What do you mean? Are you trying to fool me?”

“It’s not about making a little bit of money, it’s about making a lot of money.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly!

A white wind blew at that sound.

Whoosh.

It wasn’t the wind, it was a fairy tale.

In an instant, the story that had crept in through the dense crowd of students unfolded its bundle as if it were a given.

There was quite a lot of paper stacked up there.

Everyone was astonished at the sight.

Hanbin flipped through the paper as if counting coins and checked the contents written on it.

Hanbin, who had checked the contents, stood up from his seat.

“We don’t have much time, so those who raised their hands earlier, please sign quickly.”

“… … .”

The students just looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because I couldn’t understand what Hanbin was talking about.

Then Hanbin shouted again.

“If you sign here, I’ll tell you how I solved that problem!”

“… … .”

But no one responded.

Hanbin smiled at that sight and held up a piece of paper.

Then, without hesitation, he tore the paper apart.

Wham!

At that moment, Choi Yu-ji stepped forward in a hurry.

“Why are you doing this to us now?”

A deep furrow appeared between Choi Yu-ji’s eyebrows.

It seemed like things were headed towards disaster.

Cheating on Dean Jang Yoo-joong’s exam?

That means the path to central politics is blocked.

I don’t know why it turned out this way, but I had to prevent the worst.

At that time, Hanbin answered with a kind face.

“I’m not the one digging the ground to do business. I need to get something out of it.”

“Will you let me know if I sign?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Then I will sign.”

“You can’t do it alone, everyone who raised their hand must do it together.”

“hmm.”

Choi Yu-ji swallowed her saliva.

Looking at the contracts piled high like a tower, it was clear that they had been prepared in advance.

Choi Yu-ji looked back.

At that moment, everyone nods.

Everyone unanimously agreed to sign the contract.

Choi Yu-ji, holding a brush, asked again.

“If I sign, will you let me know for sure?”

“Since when have you become so distrustful of people?”

Hanbin smiled and pointed to the contract.

Yang Seok-bong, who was looking at them, was shocked.

This was exactly the same as how he looked ten days ago.

Yang Seok-bong was also dragged around like this.

Yang Seok-bong opened his mouth as he looked at the pile of contracts.

When I came here, I thought that I or Choi Yu-ji would be the leaders of this year’s incoming class.

But everyone was bound together by a contract that was thicker than blood.

In a way, I thought I was superior because I signed the contract first.

The problem is that within a week of being here, only one person took control of the temple.

then?

Thinking about the future, Yang Seok-bong let out a sigh without realizing it.

“phew.”

* * *

After a while.

Jang Yu-jung tilted his head after checking the answer.

When I came back and asked again, Choi Yu-ji explained exactly how she got the clue.

“A promise is a promise, so first I will give you the scroll that the palace bestowed upon you. And to those who raised their hands earlier, I will give them all a pass to this semester’s classes.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Yu-jung took out a folding screen and handed it to Choi Yu-ji.

“thank you.”

“Heh heh.”

Jang Yu-joong laughed in vain.

They kept their promise, but I knew that the process they went through to solve the problem was quite complex.

In fact, Jang Yu-jung had seen all their actions from outside.

I couldn’t hear their conversation, but I could tell from their actions what was going on.

In Jang Yu-jung’s view, Choi Yu-ji and the rest of the students were threatening someone.

The first person to threaten was Yang Seok-bong, and he even threatened Pang Han-bin, who came to stop him.

Why did they threaten them both?

Considering all the circumstances, we cannot help but conclude that the ones who figured out the answer were Pang Hanbin and Yang Seokbong.

In a way, it was an absurd act of misconduct.

But a promise was a promise.

There was another reason why Jang Yu-jung kept his promise.

It was because of the four characters ‘non-human transmission’.

This was Jang Yu-jung’s educational philosophy.

Jang Yoo-joong decided to focus only on a few people he had his eye on.

After verifying the solution to the problem, Jang Yu-jung quietly shouted to everyone.

“You can all leave now. Just!”

“… … .”

When the students who were about to get up stopped, Jang Yu-jung continued speaking.

“Students Peng Hanbin and Yang Seokbong, please stay for a while.”
