Chapter 11

Chapter 11 – Model Student Seo Tae-hyuk???

“Yes! I will become a model student!”

Tae-hyuk lifted his head with an expression of enlightenment .

The most effective way to change the future was to change the present .

Then what was the easiest thing to do right now?

The answer was easy:

Become a model student .

‘Yes . Raise my grades and go to university . Isn’t that a different result than getting a job right after graduating high school?’

He would never enter Sungjin Group as a guard .

Tae-hyuk was burning with the will to study . All of a sudden, sparks burst around him .

Ppak!

“Stop talking! Come on! Do you think this is your house? Sleeping in class and then suddenly talking nonsense! Do you have a complaint against me?”

His homeroom teacher, Jung Nam-ho, was standing in Tae-hyuk with the attendance sheet .

The man seemed ready for a barrage of strikes at any time .

Tae-hyuk rubbed his head where the attendance sheet had hit .

‘Freaking painful . ’

It was fortunate that Robbery didn’t work when he was hit with something .

‘Uwah . . . When did class start?’

It seemed like some time had passed while he had been concentrating on his plan for the future .

"Why don’t you just take a break from school? You have already been absent five days this month . I wanted to see my student very much . ”

He had been busy catching a killer and buying gifts for his sister .

He couldn’t say this to his teacher .

It was true that he had neglected his studies .

‘Um . I can’t do this . I will set up some countermeasures after I get out of this lesson . ’

Tae-hyuk groaned and said,

“Ohh . . . I’m sorry . I think I have a cold . Can I go to the infirmary?”

"What did you say? A cold? You look totally fine! Are you faking right now?”

He was correct .

Jung Nam-ho was famous for not letting students leave school early .

However, Tae-hyuk had a skill .

‘If I use Voice Modulation . . . ’

Tae-hyuk was reminded of an actor he had never met . He then manipulated the Demon Revealing Mirror .

[Voice Modulation has been used . ]

-You can directly imitate the voice of Kim Bum-soo .

The national actor Kim Bum-soo!

He was a super famous actor who had become well-known after his role as a father with a terminal illness in a drama .

His dying performance had been almost at the level of a god .

At that moment, it was reproduced by Tae-hyuk .

"Cough! T-teacher-nim . . . Really . I feel like I’m dying . ”

It was a voice that seemed like he was about to cough up blood at any moment .

Voice Modulation didn’t just end with changing the voice .

It copied a person’s distinct accent or way of speaking . Any special skills related to the voice was also possible .

This was a fraudulent skill with endless utilization possibilities .

Voice Modulation was clearly on a different level in comparison to Robbery .

"Eh? Are you really sick? Where did you go that you would catch a cold? What a fool . "

The entire class laughed at the words that came from Teacher Jung Nam-ho’s mouth .

There was only one man who didn’t laugh .

"Teacher-nim, ignore the fool who gave up on life and continue with the lesson . ”

“Ah, yes, Sung-kwang! Let’s start the class!”

Jung Nam-ho’s attitude changed by 180 degrees .

Park Sung-kwang was well-educated, and his father was a politician .

He was a model student who was different from the troublemaker Tae-hyuk, who had always skipped school .

In addition, his cold appearance and celebrity looks meant he was always popular with women .

The sounds of “kyaa!!” could be heard when he passed by .

Jung Nam-ho quickly found the class president .

"Class president! Take Seo Tae-hyuk to the infirmary . ”

“Yes, I understand,”

A frail voice answered .

An Eun-young, the class president, rose from her seat and approached Tae-hyuk .

She hesitated to reach out a hand to Tae-hyuk, who was a troublemaker .

“T-tae-hyuk . . . T-the infirmary, l-let’s go . ”

She started stuttering due to her nerves .

'I’m sorry . I’m just feigning an illness . ’

Tae-hyuk started to leave the classroom with An Eun-young’s support . However, Park Sung-kwang’s eyes made him uncomfortable .

It almost contained a killing intent .

‘Um? Did I steal his money or something?’

Tae-hyuk had no contact with Park Sung-kwang .

Park Sung-kwang was the son of a politician and a model student . As such, he always had friends gathering around him .

He was the so-called influential figure .

In contrast, Seo Tae-hyuk had often skipped school due to his part time work .

In the end, he was treated as a troublemaker .

Even though they were in the same class, Tae-hyuk had never spoken with him before .

'Did I see correctly? He’s looking at me right?’

Tae-hyuk walked slowly to the back of the class with An Eun-young’s help .

Park Sung-kwang was looking at them with an almost predatory expression .

Tae-hyuk wasn’t mistaken .

‘ . . . I’ve seen that gaze before . ’

It was in the prison . Park Sung-kwang seemed like the guards when they looked at the inmates .

The distance between the two people was decreasing .

In the end, Tae-hyuk passed right by Park Sung-kwang .

At that moment, Tae-hyuk laughed and called out to Sung-kwang,

"Park Sung-kwang . "

“ . . . . . . ”

Sung-kwang looked into Tae-hyuk’s eyes without saying anything, but a vicious contempt was seen in his eyes .

It was like he was irritated that Tae-hyuk was even breathing the same air as him .

Then Tae-hyuk said,

"Your fly is open . ”

Park Sung-kwang’s expression distorted .

He realized that the zipper of his pants was open .

Tae-hyuk shrugged and walked out of the room with An Eun-young .

* * *

"Um, I think I’m okay now . I can go alone . ”

Tae-hyuk said as he left the classroom and turned off the Voice Modulation skill .

He instantly turned from a dying patient to a normal high school student .

“B-but . . . Teacher-nim . . . ”

An Eun-young was a timid, petite girl .

So, it was inconvenient for him to move since he had to lean down to get support .

An Eun-young was a brilliant student who had never failed to get 1st place ever since she had entered the school .

She had a rivalry with Park Sung-kwang who was always 2nd place in the school .

Furthermore, her credibility with the teachers was high due to her sincere nature .

Thus, she had been in charge of the class since the 1st grade in high school .

‘In the end, didn’t she get into S University with a full scholarship?’

The nation’s top university .

For Tae-hyuk, it was just a distant story .

"Then let’s walk to the infirmary together . Will that be okay?”

"Eung . . . ”

Tae-hyuk looked at An Eun-young’s back as he walked towards the infirmary .

At that moment, he came up with a good idea .

‘That reminds me, doesn’t she stay after school to teach other students?’

Her explanations were easy to understand, so her study group was very popular .

If Tae-hyuk wanted to go to university with his sister, he needed to raise his grades .

‘Yes, I should ask her to teach me . ’

Then he would become a model student .

He thought about how he could ask it naturally .

As he was thinking about it, he felt a vibration in his pocket .

Brr!

‘Hiik!’

It was an unexpected situation, so he barely prevented himself from screaming .

It was the Demon Revealing Mirror .

'What is it again?!’

[Seo Tae-hyuk]

-Title: God of Crime

-Rating: Commoner (Lacking conditions for upgrade)

-Skills Possessed: Robbery (Lv 1)

Voice Modulation (Lv 1)

???

Tae-hyuk’s eyes widened .

It was an alarm announcing the emergence of a new skill .

There was only one thing it meant .

A crime was happening in the area .

At first, it was the pickpocket . The second was voice phishing .

Then . . .

Tae-hyuk thought of all the people he met today .

‘It isn’t Noona or Tae-min . Then . . . Teacher Jung Nam-ho or Park Sung-kwang . Also, An Eun-young . ’

One of these people were associated with a crime .

Tae-hyuk swallowed his saliva . Unlike before, there were three candidates .

It would be easy to figure out if he knew what the crime was .

He looked at the Demon Revealing Mirror that only displayed ‘???’ with resentful eyes .

His thoughts was complicated . He just wanted to become a model student .

'Still, it is better to have more skills . First, I should determine who the perpetrator is . ’

However, An Eun-young’s condition was strange .

"Uh, eung . . . ”

She moaned as she started swaying and then began to fell .

If she hit then cement floor, she was likely to become seriously injured .

In the end, Seo Tae-hyuk didn’t hesitate to grab An Eun-young .

Heavy!

He could feel something big that didn’t fit her slender body .

‘She did look tired, but to think she would suddenly fall down . . . ’

An Eun-young had dark circles around her eyes . He wondered if she had been staying up late in preparation for the exam next week .

It seemed possible for An Eun-young who was always studying .

[Robbery has been used . ]

-You have succeeded in stealing the opponent’s belongings! 

‘Crazy!’

The probability of success for Robbery was 10% .

However, this time, it succeeded in just one go .

“T-tae-hyuk . . . S-sorry . I’m a bit tired these days . . . ”

An Eun-young shook her head to get rid of the dizziness and stepped away from Tae-hyuk .

“It seems like you are the one who should go to the infirmary and rest . I’ll help you there . ”

"I- I need to study . . . ”

"You should take a break . You don’t want me to carry you there, do you?"

“ . . . . . . ”

An Eun-young nodded slowly .

After diverting her attention, Tae-hyuk placed a hand in his pocket .

“ . . . . . . ”

He could feel a soft cloth .

Fortunately, it was the top part .

‘I think I’m going to go crazy . Fuck . Why does it keep stealing things like this?’

It was a situation where he couldn’t say anything, even if he was caught red-handed stealing .

‘If I get one more point, then I’ll be able to prevent this!’

The bigger issue was how to return it to the original owner .

Keeping it was a problem .

However, returning it was also a problem .

Tae-hyuk was distressed .

It felt like he reached a crossroad marked with Raccoon City and Silent Hill .

At this moment, his head was moving faster than Einstein’s .

‘Ah, I don’t know!’

Tae-hyuk felt like vomiting as he spoke to An Eun-young .

"Eun-young, you seem tired, so do you want to see a magic trick?”

“H-huh?”

Tae-hyuk placed his hands together like he was clapping .

When he opened his hands, white underwear appeared .

“Look! This is my alchemy!”

An Eun-young turned red the moment she realized what it was .

Peok!

She snatched the underwear and kicked Tae-hyuk’s leg with her shoe .

Then she literally ran away .

"I gave it back though . Ow . . . ”

In this situation when he needed her help, it seemed like their relationship had deteriorated .

Tae-hyuk sighed slowly,

“ . . . I’m screwed . "
