Self-Introduction – Amae Shizuko

Q5. Please freely describe your strengths.

……Fufu, you’re thinking this right now, right?

Ah~ someone definitely wrote this for me, with that kind of feeling♡

Then why don’t you try to find out?

The paper I enclosed with my self-introduction, who on earth researched that?

Ah, of course, the archive address I just uploaded will come up Kya Shizuko Super Genius☆

“Haa…….”

The old professor, while reading the last part of Shizuko’s self-introduction, couldn’t help but sigh and touch his

forehead.

Especially the star shape instead of the period was the trigger.

Whether it was a first-round pass or fail, he wanted to tear up this self-introduction right away…….

But he couldn’t.

But…… isn’t this dangerous? Professor Seo Anguk?

Mentioning a professor of that school in a self-introduction.

It’s not uncommon.

If you read a self-introduction that knows how to write a little, no, correction.

If you read something that clearly shows that you received some self-introduction coaching from somewhere,

you could easily find phrases like, Especially, I am interested in the research of Professor ~~ of the ~~ department……..

However, being mentioned like this is really unprecedented,

“……Phew.”

It could truly be called an unprecedented form.

Because he’s my teacher’s teacher, even though the research content doesn’t completely overlap…….

For now, since it’s the same field of study…… Yes, that’s right.

If this goes on, Professor Seo Anguk, what if he gets suspected of secretly helping me……?

C-could it be a parachute☆_*?!!

Aat♪! Doesn’t this mean you have to call me and make me explain♬?!

Don’t you think so? Seo. An. Guk. Professor? “haha”

This crazy aggro.

Content that is indistinguishable from a self-introduction or a threatening scam email.

Surely, if it were another professor, or even before that, at the level of the admissions officer,

it would have been cut straight away and wouldn’t have come up here.

Even if he wanted to ignore it at this point, he couldn’t.

Because, look.

“Did you read everything~? Professor Seo Anguk?”

“So, what do you think? No, since you are the person, don’t you have something to point out? Professor Seo Anguk.”

“Th…… even though I’m the same professor, I haven’t even gotten tenure yet…… as a junior…… I-I don’t know if I

should say this…… but…… P-Professor Seo Anguk…… this…… no matter how I look at it, it seems like you crossed the

line…… r-right? P-Professor Seo Anguk…….”

“Haa, hey friend. Isn’t it better to just admit it now? Even if it’s heartbreaking that you lost your favorite disciple, of

course, that was a tragedy, but…… Even so, you can’t put in a parachute like this. Professor Seo.”

The fellow professors are calling his name like crazy and making a fuss.

If he tried to smooth things over, he would be branded as a piece of trash who pretended not to know because he got

caught.

So he couldn’t dare to ignore it.

“……Haa, how many times do I have to say that it’s not true!”

The only thing Professor Seo Anguk could say right now was something that sounded like an excuse.

“This Amae whatever Shizuko super genius or whatever high school girl, no, middle school girl……! Besides, a

Japanese! No, how would I know a Japanese woman?!!”

Nevertheless, he tried to deny it somehow, but it was not effective.

“Oh my~ Shizuko super genius…… You called her by that nickname…… Professor Seo Anguk.”

“Haa, whether she’s a middle school girl or a high school girl, super☆genius♡, it’s irrelevant information. Of course,

that would be an important part. For you, Professor Seo Anguk.”

“I-it can’t be…… A-although…… I-I’m…… a part of the government’s policy to…… foster female scientists…… I-it’s not

my place to say this…… B-but no matter how much, a-a child of a Jap…… J-Japanese…… w-woman…… Y-you’ll be

reported for…… l-lack of gender sensitivity…… O-of course, it’s nothing to those who have already gotten tenure……

For example, like Professor Seo Anguk.”

“Haa, that’s right. What Professor Ryu Hongdan just said is correct. Back in our time, we used to say whatever we

wanted, like room, Hyeri, commie, but times have changed, haven’t they?”

“Hic…… I-I…… a-a commie…… I-I’m not…… O-of course…… b-because of me…… N-North Korea…… g-got…… n-

nuclear weapons…… b-but they won’t even give me f-food…….”

“No, no! I’m not saying you’re a commie, Professor Hongdan……!”

“I-I’m not a commie……! Haaang! Kim Il-sung, you son of a bich! Kim Jong-un, you son of a bich! Kim Yo-jong……!

Keh?! Cough, cough!”

“……W-well, anyway! Even if it’s a child who calls herself the disciple of your favorite disciple, in these times, a

middle school girl and a Japanese color are a bit much, aren’t they? Of course, for some people, it might be a good

thing, like you, Professor Seo.”

It wasn’t effective, it only made things worse.

Besides, the situation was a mess,

but everyone was jokingly attaching his name to the end of their words…….

They were playing around.

“……These professors!! What kind of trash human do they think I am?!!”

Professor Seo Anguk was so dumbfounded that he got angry for real,

but the answers of the four professors who returned afterwards were unchanged.

“Hmm~ Professor Seo Anguk, do you know that the Child Protection Act was updated again this time? Y-you look a

little dangerous…….”

“Why are you asking the obvious? Professor Seo Anguk. You’re a lo♡…… No, a pe♥…… Phew, what’s the point of

saying it, I’ll just clean my glasses.”

“Um…… Can I be honest……? You traitorous son of a bich!! How dare you try to cultivate a child of a Jap as a South

Korean technology spy, did you really forget the Japanese colonial period?!! It’s not me, but rather you who is truly a

com―”

“……Ah, come on! Professor Hongdan! Didn’t you forget your medicine time?!”

“―Ah, that’s right…… Thank you…… Gulp, gulp. Hehe, I’m getting happy…….”

“C-cough! Anyway! In the end, if you, the head of the department, make a decision, our physics department will send

an OK, but…… what if other departments rise up because of that?”

A fellow KAIST professor, and a bad relationship that has continued since they were classmates to professors.

An old friend.

“Also, you know the style of the current president. How sensitive he is to recent events.”

At his mention of ‘recent events’, the other three professors quietly shut their mouths.

“…….”

Because Professor Seo Anguk was so devastated by that incident,

as a professor in the same department, they knew too well by seeing it from the side.

Even though he was old, he was so full of emotion, literally fighting! The man who was the very definition of that,

was expressionless for a while after that incident.

The reason why they were a little too over-the-top and joking around just now was

because Professor Seo showed emotion for the first time since then.

“Especially since you are a directly related person…… He’s extremely reluctant to have a repeat of 15 years ago. He’ll

be focusing on media response even now.”

“…….”

“Professor Hongdan…… No, Professor Ryu Hongdan and Professor Song Sua may not know because they are from a

later generation, but you and I are different, aren’t we?”

“……No, that guy…… that kid would never make such a choice…….”

“Haa, hey friend. That’s not what I meant.”

“……No matter how

end up! That guy would never commit suicide……! This Seo Anguk knows it!!”

The police concluded that it was a sudden cardiac arrest of unknown cause as a result of the autopsy by the National Forensic Service.

The media led public opinion to give the nuance of suicide.

The president of the school was just busy responding to that.

“This Seo Anguk…… This I know it…… I was his advisor……!! Maybe even more than that guy’s parents!!”

He met the guy’s parents. At the funeral.

They were crying sorrowfully. For losing their only son.

Was it because of the trash media?

Or is it because everything is just the parents’ fault?

His parents were blaming only themselves. Saying it was because they gave birth to him like that. Saying it was all

their fault.

‘No.’

It wasn’t.

It couldn’t be.

That guy, that kid, that son of a bich.

That kid…… wouldn’t be a kid who would commit suicide.

Even if he decided to do so, he would shout to the world, “This world is

ed up!!” in front of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and set himself on fire.

Amae Shizuko, the kid of some Jap who he doesn’t even know, calls him a teacher,

his advisee was such a cool guy.

‘That guy…… my disciple…….’

Never giving up in any storm.

Even if he gives up, to the world, to this unreasonable sky,

at least he throws a punch.

Such a stupidly cool guy.

“Phew……! As expected, when the glasses are clean, the vision is different.”

“?!”

“H-hic……?!”

“Y-you……!”

At that time, the young male professor who had finished cleaning his glasses opened his mouth.

Because the atmosphere was so heavy, everyone was keeping silent and looking for the timing,

but the real reason why the glasses professor was quiet was because he was really diligently cleaning his glasses.

It wasn’t to consider Professor Seo Anguk.

“Professor Jin…….”

“Please call me Professor Jin Junggeon. Even if the years are different, I am also a full professor with tenure.”

Professor Seo Anguk glared at him as if he wanted to kill him, but Professor Jin Junggeon countered casually.

“Professor Seo Anguk, does anything change if you play the sympathy card?”

“……?!!”

And even provoked him one more time.

“So, since I was a student, I didn’t really like Professor Seo Anguk’s papers. Rather than the content itself, the

unnecessarily emotional and figurative English word choices in the paper that should be cool and sharp, and

especially the outlook section after the conclusion, contained only overly optimistic interpretations that seemed to be

filled with personal feelings.”

And yet one more time.

“….this glasses wearing son of a b*tch! since when did he have the right to speak.”

“h-hey Jin Junggeon, you’re going to far”

Eventually, Professor Seo Anguk lost his temper and yelled,

and his friend was trying to stop him somehow, at that time,

“Let’s send a request for supplementary documents, to Japan.”

Professor Jin Junggeon said, adjusting his glasses with his middle finger.

“
, no, to Amae Shizuko, that child.”

It was simultaneous with that statement.

“Well, no. The second semester admission schedule is tight, so it would be better to contact her right now. I’m not

sure if international calls will work, but since it’s Japan, there’s no time difference. Luckily, the phone number is

listed here in the academic record.”

Professor Jin Junggeon started entering Amae Shizuko’s phone number into his cell phone.
