Chapter 979: Regret (13)
The answer to the question of why I attend Gong Cheong-hwon's class was simple.
It’s because the class content is excellent.
However, considering that students aren’t just studying but are also evaluated on their grades, it might seem suspicious at first.
Perhaps it was because Gong Cheong-hwon’s name was mentioned, but I heard Huang Jiho’s voice, now more subdued, in my ear.
[He’s been giving instructions this whole time. It seems like they’re directing what Hirano Seiji should say to you.]
From the moment I noticed the trap, it seemed that Hirano Seiji was being given real-time instructions on what to say.
They likely wanted to hear that I was taking Gong Cheong-hwon’s class due to external pressure.
Of course, they’d also want to hear that this external pressure is tied to the Hwangmyung Group or Andain, but I had no intention of saying anything like that.
I responded with something that seemed harmless to anyone listening.
"I'm really interested in otherworld conquest and energy studies. Gong Cheong-hwon’s classes on energy sciences are very insightful."
Hirano Seiji seemed slightly relieved, but soon his expression shifted again, possibly receiving more instructions.
It wasn’t appropriate to persistently ask about grades on our first meeting, and I didn’t think he wanted to do so either.
