Episode 236: The End (終幕)

“I don’t buy it.”

The moment I answered him.

"what?"

The madness that surrounded him was fussy.

I opened my mouth slowly, looking at his blankly relaxed face.

“I don’t buy it because I don’t need it.”

Then he looked at me with a look that he didn't understand.

"why not? For what the hell?”

I smiled and looked at his face.

“Well, I think education reform would be possible without the power of K-edu.”

In an instant, his face contorted.

“Don’t say nonsense! Even if it takes 10 or even 100 years with the power of hermit crab academy now, education in Korea will never change!”

A face that was determined as if it was never going to happen. These were the words of a person who did not have any doubts about his words.

“Why do you think so?”

When I asked, he licked his lips and opened his mouth.

“Because the cubs of wild dogs will run at every turn! It may be less now because there are people in my country, but if you wait a little longer, everyone in the car you were eating in will try to bite you!”

It was an absurd reason.

“No, if there is something wrong, isn’t it natural to be criticized and corrected?”

Then he snorted and accepted my words.

“Ha, do you think they have any great cause or idea? funny sound. They bite because they just want to bite. So stop being stubborn and nod your head! It is said that assholes succumb to strong powers!”

Then he looked at me and asked for an answer.

It seemed that he had fallen into his own world and lost all of his original intelligence.

‘It’s bittersweet.’

I clicked my tongue and opened my mouth slowly.

“I will decline. I have no interest in dictatorship.”

Then, in that moment, his face turned red and his eyes began to turn red.

“Hey, you’re only revealing your true colors now. cowardly bastard In the meantime, I thought I was going to flirt with reform or anything like that, but I had no intention of jumping into the reform. What's wrong with dictatorship? don't talk shit It's not that I don't like the dictatorship, it's that I'm afraid of the situation. I'm afraid I might fail. That’s why I fear that people will criticize me!”

I sighed and looked at him.

When things didn't go the way he had hoped, he seemed to finally let go of his reason.

“It’s ugly. Please stop now, sir. I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no intention of matching the hero's play."

In an instant, he screamed.

"what? Hero play?”

"Yes. From now on, it has to be me. You're saying things like that need strong power, but if that's not a hero game, what would it be?"

Kim Ho-beom's eyebrows twitched.

“This is not a hero game! Only powerful people bring about change. That is the truth of the world!”

“Calm down. Stagnant water is bound to rot.”

“Originally, society is like that! Social change is like that in the first place! A leader with strong power. If not, it will be a thousand years, a hundred years, and nothing but the same. Is the stagnant water rotting? stupid bastard! Those who are not afraid of it have made history!”

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“And everyone who said that turned into a monster. So, rather than becoming a hero, I will become a person, a kind neighbor, and a kind teacher. And I believe that reform can be achieved in that way.”

It was.

As he said, those in power can easily change society, but that change was not always a good change.

This is because the will and power of those in power are bound to sprout under the will of beings who do not have power.

We came to understand this simple fact and important truth only after witnessing countless pains and deaths.

The problem is that there are still people who forget that fact and are misled by the name of absolute power and the false idol of a hero.‘Just like right now.’

After giving me some tissue paper, I continued to speak slowly.

Because I can say a word to a beast that pretends to be human on the edge of a human.

“So, I want you to just keep in your mind the idea that it must be me and that I have to lead other people as an educator in this world. I am ready to admit that I am wrong at any time.”

After I finished speaking, I looked at Kim Ho-beom.

OK.

“… … .”

The figure of Ho-beom Kim, who licked his lips with his distorted face, but was unable to say anything, caught my eye.

I smiled and got up from my seat.

“Then I’ll just let you get up. I heard that you are undergoing a tax audit, but I hope that you will receive it and never meet again. Goodbye."

Then he started walking out of the room.

But then.

"at there."

A growl was heard behind his back.

But the conversation with him is already over.

All that was left was to get out of the old monster's nest.

I proceeded slowly, ignoring his voice.

But maybe I was the only one thinking like that.

clink-

“Stand there!”

A teacup flew from behind and crashed into the door.

The cold tea dripped onto the floor.

'under… .'

When I turned around with an absurd heart, Hobeom Kim was looking at me with the eyes of a beast full of murderous intent.

“You are going to fail. very miserable. Even if you go there and cry and beg, I will never accept it.”

I smiled quietly at his words full of malice.

“Fail… well that would be nice However, I will do my best to leave a good failure for future generations. Sometimes good failures are worth more than bad successes.”

Then he looked at me with his eyes full of anger.

“Can you say that even if it eats your dreams?”

I nodded my head resolutely.

"Sure. My dream is to become a ‘good’ instructor. Wouldn’t it be natural for a good instructor to make the people he taught become a hero rather than becoming a hero himself?”

After I finished speaking, I opened the door without looking back.

And he left right away.

Kim Ho-beom, who was left alone in the tomb-like room, was staring into the air with a blank expression.

a few years later.

[…] Acquisition of Mr. Park's English classroom by a foreign company, and the bankruptcy of Season School. Former K-Edu-affiliated academies are getting caught up in incidents every day, such as the illegal political fund lobby case of Cheongchul Oram Academy. This situation began five years ago after the disappearance of K-Edu CEO Ho-beom Kim… ]

scroll down

Then, articles related to K-edu and people's comments caught my eye.

[There was no separate Mr. ‘The Fall of the Princes of Private Education’]

[K-edu’s children… 'Early end of the prince's war']

[The complete downfall of the private education empire... ‘Results according to the new era’]

[Comment: Huh? What is K-edu? Was there such a place?]

[Comment: ㅇㅇ In the past, there was a place where kids just went crazy and raised their grades hahaha]

[Comment: Right haha ​​I got hit a lot while I was there too ㅠ]

[Comment: Huh, kids these days don’t know K-edu well? We all went to K-edu academies.

[Comment: K Edura… It's a name I haven't heard in a long time]

Five years ago, when I turned down Hobeom Kim's offer. K-edu had mobilized all sorts of methods to interfere with the hermit crab academy's business and the education reform business of the Office of Education.

[Private education market in chaos due to excessive expansion of ‘S Academy’]

[Doubts about the education reform project… Driving private education work?]

[Experts, the effect of Korean baccalaureate is ‘Well?’]

It was probably a sabotage operation that felt Kim Ho-beom's malice, to be more precise, the malicious intent that lost his reason.

But after a while... Due to the excessive abuse and burden of subordinate academies, the increasingly tight pressure of public power and people's distrust, K-edu was rapidly divided and faced opposition from the academies under its control.

‘K-Edu headquarters apologize for excessive power!’

‘I can’t live like this! I impeach Kim Ho-beom!’

‘We are not slaves! Stop excessive competition!’

And as a result.

[Shock, the disappearance of CEO Kim of the giant K-edu!]

As CEO Ho-beom Kim, who had to read through his academies, suddenly disappeared…

[Sr. Park’s English classroom, K-Edu and K-Edu break up!]

[Season School's OO Director, K Edu exercise of authority over the stake!]

[Cheongchul Eoram Academy, Director Park OO participated in the election of the next representative of K Edu]

.

.

The giant dinosaur of the academy, the king of private education, K-edu, who had held absolute power for decades, disappeared into the dew of history.

‘Hwamu eleven and nine hundred thousand… .'

A lot had happened after that.

After the fall of K-edu, a number of incidents have come to me, such as sudden chaos, checks on the hermit crab academy of the academies that have risen from the chaos, and various incidents surrounding the education reform project, conflicts of interest, etc.

[Large academies in Seoul designate ‘S academy’ as the main culprit in disrupting the market order]

[Seoul Regional Private School Foundation Council, ‘opposition’ to the reform policy of the Office of Education]

[Universities express concern over the secondary education reform policy of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education]

There were times when I wanted to give up.

It was because, as CEO Ho-beom Kim said, countless people stabbed me with countless words.

But.

‘You must not fall. Let's hold on, we'll hold on and we'll hold on again.'

I couldn't fall down, I couldn't give up.

If I fell like this, if I gave up, it was clear that I would have to endure an incredibly long time until the world I wanted and the educational environment I wanted came.

‘Let’s get up. Get up and move.’

And as a result.

[Ministry of Education, Reinforcement of the Existing Paid System and Implementation on a Pilot from this Year]

[Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education’s Korean-style baccalaureate, feasibility review result ‘good’]

[, aka 'Kim Jun-Young Law', the private school foundation that has become a hotbed of corruption is ready to be renewed!]

Of course, they put the education reform project on track in a much faster time than originally expected.

‘Achieving KRW 1 trillion in sales in a year’

‘The most influential school of the year’

‘The most preferred school for parents’

‘No. 1 school I want to go to’

While occupying the majority of the private education market.

[Shock! What is the next goal of Kim Jun-young, a private school tycoon? ‘Public Education’]

[Ministry of Education, CEO Jun-Young Kim’s Alternative School Establishment ‘It’s Possible’]

[CEO Jun-Young Kim, purchasing a large-scale land near ‘Daechi-dong’ in Seoul]For the first time in history, in the middle of Seoul, or to be more precise, in a part of Daechi-dong occupied by the hermit crab academy… It was possible to establish an alternative school of 500,000 pyeong.

It was truly an emotional moment.

I, who was struggling with a monthly salary of 1.2 million won, was finally able to extend its influence not only in private education but also in public education.

Just thinking about it, I could still hear Dok Go-gyeong's voice telling me that an alternative school was being established.

‘CEO Kim, you’ve come all the way here. That's great. Now that the official approval has been granted, you will be able to realize your dream from this year.’

I looked out the window.

Then I saw a huge forest in the middle of Seoul, picturesque buildings filling it, and the ‘hermit crab academy’ surrounding it like a folding screen.

'Hmm… Shall we build another domed stadium?’

But then.

“Kim Young-jun! You didn't do your homework again! Come to work!”

A familiar voice was heard.

When I slowly turned my head, even though I became a teacher, I was still naive, confused, and the cruel Yuna Kim.

“Hoho, Miss Yuna. Go slow. And what if you fall again?”

Eunsol looking at Yuna Kim with a hyacinth-like figure in full bloom.

and.

“Hey, Miss Yuna. That's why you said the exam was too difficult!"

"that's right! Yuna's exam is so hard! And so violent!”

“Oh, Eunsol! Please stop Yuna-sama!”

The smiles of the students caught my eye.

I smiled and got up from my seat. Then, slowly, he approached the window and opened it wide.

“Miss Yuna Kim, don’t be too harsh. The teacher used to... .”

OK.

Yuna Kim, who was running towards her children, looked at me with a sullen expression.

“Ah sir! really! Don't talk about the past!"

He seemed to want to hide his past.

I looked at him and smiled.

Dokgo-kyung once asked me.

what is your dream What lies at the end of your path.

Then I said

‘There must be a ‘person’ at the end of that road.”

I got up.

Then a low-pitched voice came from behind me.

I hummed the song and slowly made my way towards the place where the people were waiting.

Come mothers and fathers through the land.

And don't criticize what you can't understand.

Your sons and you daughter are beyond your command.

Your old road is rapidly agin.

Please get out of the new one if you can’s lend a hand.

For the times they are a changing.

mothers and fathers of the world.

Don't blame me for not understanding you.

Your sons and daughters are out of control.

Your old road is rapidly getting old.

If you're not going to help, don't stop me.

Because times are changing.
