chapter 12
12 – Organization of advisory professors (4)
Time passed quickly, and it was time to select the lead students.
The professors of the Faculty Department often met in the office and had meetings and selected students individually.
Today is the day when administrative assistants receive their hopeful advisors from their classmates and submit them to the faculty department.
So, if a professor and a student are compatible, they are immediately organized as an advisor.
However, proper coordination is necessary in cases where there are conflicting views, and in cases where a specific professor or student has no votes.
It’s not like you can decide to pick a child you like, and all students must have an advisor.
As expected, the biggest concern of the professors was who Yoo Hee-won hoped for.
Naturally, Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo of the comprehensive attack emerged as a strong candidate.
On the other side, Professor Heo of Information Acquisition and Operation was looking at me with a meaningful smile.
That person seems to already know the outcome.
Professor Jin Se-young, who was sitting next to me, whispered to me.
“Professor. Is Professor Yoo Hee-won by any chance?”
“No. All the other professors seem to be hoping for Yoo Hee-won.”
“Of course. How important is a career as an advisor to a future S-class hero?”
“Is that so? I guess so. But I’m burdened with things like that.”
At that time, the head of the faculty entered the classroom with the decision board on his side.
“Did you print out all the student wish lists?”
“Ah, yes. Here it is. I got it from the head assistant.”
Professor Huh got up from his seat and began turning the papers in front of him sideways.
The professors who received the list looked for something while flipping through the pages.
He is trying to find out who the students want him to be, and who the professor Yoo Hee-Won wants is.
“uh…?”
Professor Jin Se-young was the first to speak.
After that, all eyes began to turn to me with questionable exclamations here and there.
“Professor… Yoo Hee-won… took a picture of the professor…?”
Jin Se-young looked at me with a puzzled face.
I just smiled without saying anything.
because I already knew
What I wanted to know was not whether Yoo Hee-won filmed me.
Who did Han Min-ha film?
I pretended not to notice the other people’s gazes and kept flipping the paper backwards to find Han Min-ha’s name.
Oh, here you are. Let’s see.
uh? What is this?
Han Min-ha’s Hope advisor column was blank.
Literally nothing was written.
By regulation, all students must have an advisor.
It is a different concept from administrative assistants, and even if you submit a blank like this, a professor must be assigned unconditionally.
Hmm… blank…
It might be a good thing for me.
If Han Min-ha had hoped for another professor, the process of becoming her advisor would have been a little more complicated.
Since no one hopes, that means it doesn’t matter who it is.
And…
I looked through the documents several times, but except for Yoo Hee-won, there was no student who wanted me as an advisor.
It’s not my personality or such a problem, but this is how the subject of basic defense is treated in the first place.
If I were going to choose an advisor, I would choose a professor with a useful major that would be of some help after graduation.
What is basic defense?
Why…? Because it feels like
Does not matter.
I don’t care how my major is treated.
However, apart from that, the other professors were still very upset that Yoo Hee-won had applied for me.
“Professor Gyo. Why did Hee-Won Yoo take Professor Gyo? It’s not because he’s looking down on basic defense science, it’s because he’s really amazing.”
When someone asked, I smiled and shook my head.
“I’m not sure. Maybe it’s a way of expressing confidence.”
“That makes sense, too. Honestly, he’s… kind of like that.”
At that, the professors showed a gesture of agreement with a muffled voice.
Of course, Yoo Hee-won is said to be showing outstanding skills not only in my subject but also in other subjects.
The same was true of his arrogant and arrogant attitude.
So, many professors wanted to teach Yoo Hee-won, but on the other hand, they didn’t seem to like her very much.
Rather than Yu Hee-won herself, I want her ability and background.
Due to the fact that basic defense science is not a popular subject and that Yu Hee-won’s personality is like that, the professors quickly understood the situation as he said.
So, fortunately, there was no questioning about whether there was some kind of back story with Yu Hee-won.
It seemed that they dismissed it as a happening of the degree of ‘Anyway, it’s a strange thing’.
“Isn’t there a list of hopeful students that I put together the other day? Isn’t there a matching one with this one? I made sure to make one.”
“I have it ready.”
The head assistant and other assistants drew a matching list and brought them by number.
The professors soon began busily flipping through the papers.
It was to check whether the student he wanted also applied for him or not.
Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo of Comprehensive Attack had too many students who wanted to, so he created a separate page, and other professors lined up in order of popularity of the subject.
Except for the fact that Yoo Hee-won chose me, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Except for one.
“Huh? What is this? Professor, are you serious?”
“What?”
Jin Se-young pointed to a specific page and asked.
“Han Min-ha. Did the professor really take the picture?”
Then, other professors around me opened the page and showed similar reactions.
“Han Min-ha… isn’t this him? He wears glasses and has dark hair.”
“That’s right. That piece of shit.”
Like Yoo Hee-won, Han Min-ha seems to be at a similar level throughout, not only in my subject but also in other subjects.
Still, it sucks, how can you do it…
“Professor Jin. Han Min-ha. How about your class?”
“Until now, I couldn’t get my feet off the ground.”
At the point where it’s almost a month, I can’t even rise, which is the basics of flight.
that’s kinda serious
“Professor. I’ve never taken an advisor before, so I wondered what was going to happen this year, but why is it a kid?”
“Yes. Among the many freshmen… why are you struggling to buy them?”
When other professors asked me questions with puzzled expressions, I replied with a smile.
“Wouldn’t it be rewarding? Being able to attract and graduate a child like this.”
If Nara doesn’t set herself up as an advisor, it will be difficult for Han Min-ha to graduate, who is bullied by lower classes.
“How could you think of that… you’re amazing…”
Professor Sei-young Jin seemed to be moved by my words, her eyes shining and her hands clasped together.
In the case of the other professors, about half of them said it was like that, and half of them had expressions like ‘what bullshit’.
After that, the first matching was conducted under the leadership of the head of the faculty department.
Groups are moderately lumped together, and through meetings between professors and students, they confirm each other’s intentions.
After that, based on the results of the interview, the final advisor is organized.
A student has only one advisor, but an advisor may have more than one advisor.
So, as far as I know, in the case of comprehensive attack and flight courses last year, there were more than 20 instructors.
I didn’t even pay attention to the other kids because I was thinking of getting only Han Min-ha.
And there are no students who wanted me anyway.
It’s convenient.

Because of the interview, the research building was constantly visited by young students.

Most of the professors and students had a meeting while taking a walk and drinking tea in a friendly atmosphere, but my case was a little different.
An interview with prospective guidance students is essential.
This is because the content of the interview must be recorded and registered in the system to be left as evidence.
So I had to call Yu Hee-Won for an interview, and Yu Hee-Won with an arrogant smile did not look very nice.
“They hoped for me to be their advisor.”
“Did I tell you? I want you to be my advisor.”
“That’s right. That’s why the other professors were very disappointed. There are many professors who want to properly guide Yoo Hee-won.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“It does matter.”
I looked at Yoo Hee-won calmly and said.
“I’m a basic defense professor. It’s an unpopular subject that’s almost useless to heroes, and I’m also not in good shape. It’s true that it’s a little burdensome to teach excellent students like Yu Hee-won.”
“So what?”
“There are many other great professors at the academy. For example, like Professor Yoo from General Attack. It is difficult to change an advisor once it is decided, so think again. “
Yoo Hee-won twisted the corner of her mouth and made a sneer.
“I want to be the professor’s guidance student. I think it would be quite useful if I learned defense techniques.”
“But it was Yoo Hee-won who said that mental barrier, the ultimate defense technique, is ‘mental grabbing’.”
“You’re not sure you’re still holding those words in, are you?”
“I’m remembering it rather than storing it in. What I want to say is this: I’m a person with a lot of shortcomings to become Yu Hee-won’s advisor.”
Yoo Hee-won narrowed her eyes and stared at me.
“Did the professor also select the student he/she wants?”
“No. As you know, I haven’t had an advisor in years.”
When I lied without raising an eyebrow, Yu Hee-won carefully examined my expression.
However, it would probably be impossible to detect any hint of a lie from me using the mental barrier.
“I understood the professor’s words well. But…”
Yoo Hee-won stood up from her seat and looked down at me as if looking down on me.
“Maybe it will.”
That arrogant confidence…
After Yoo Hee-won left, I immediately called Han Min-ha’s administrative assistant, Assistant Bae Ye-bin.
“Teacher Bae. I need to have a meeting with Han Min-ha regarding the selection of my advisor, so please send it to the lab.”
[Ah… are you Korean…?]
Assistant Bae was flustered and blurted out his words.
“Are there any restrictions?”
[Restrictions… That’s… Professor. I’m sorry, student Han Min-ha… I dropped out as of this morning…]
