Chapter 352 The Tragedy of Group Assignments (1)


    Arcadia, another reality, humanity''s first virtual reality.


    Dex is a being who has brought about numerous changes in the world.


    Although everything waspletely unknown to the public, he was a person who boasted more powerful influence than anyone else, but he was just an ordinary college student living a very ordinary life.


    “So, ording to a paper recently published by Dr. Howe Schmitz of MIT, it was said that it is necessary to develop a special algorithm to maintain the efficiency of the architecture that constitutes and maintains virtual reality and the stability and integrity of data packets. However, since nothing is known about the algorithm currently used in Arcadia, numerous researches and developments rted to it are being actively conducted in the academic world...” A


    plex lecture that makes you feel confused just by listening to it.


    However, the sophomores gave up on understanding and gave up understanding, wondering if this was once or twice, sitting on chairs and just nced at the clock while waiting for the lecture to end. And exactly when the clock points to the hour. Professor Taehoon Kim put down the marker in his hand.


    “Time is running out, so let’s finish the lecture today.”


    “You worked hard!”


    Greetings bursting out from here and there as if they had been waiting for him to finish his lecture. Then, looking at the undergraduates who were getting up to pack their belongings and leave the ssroom, he said as if he had forgotten.


    “ah. And now, the final exam was originally scheduled for next month...” What


    college students hate the most, but ironically and secretly wee.


    final exam.


    College students hate the exam itself, but knowing that the moment they finish the final exam, the long-awaited sweet vacation will begin, so they stop everything they are doing at Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s words and begin to focus on him at once.


    “Originally, the schedule for the seminar in the US, which I was supposed to attend during this vacation, was suddenly moved forward. It seems like you don''t have enough time to give it a test and evaluate it. That''s why I''m saying this just in case...”


    Professor Kim Tae-hun frowned as if he was in trouble. Seeing him, who would never normally see him, the eyes of the students began to widen with anticipation. And Professor Kim Tae-hoon answered their expectations very honestly.


    “I’m thinking of recing the final exam with an end-of-semester report this semester, but would everyone be okay with that? Instead, let’s give them group assignments, not individual assignments.”


    Substitute group assignments for exams.


    At those words, everyone''s faces turned into shock.


    ‘Group task...?''


    ‘Instead of that vicious final exam... you''re going to do it with one group assignment?''


    ‘Such crazy... Are you saying that I don''t have to prepare for that horrible amount of exams this time?''


    A proposal like heaven that would never be imagined by professor Kim Tae-hoon. So, in case they change their minds, they scrambled to answer without saying who would be first.


    “That’s right. We''re all right, Professor.”


    “Group assignments are also good. I do.”


    “I think that''s a very smart idea, Professor!”


    “Professor, I think the preparation of the end-of-semester report can be a useful time to end the semester.”


    At this moment, all the students are united in one mind, mboyantly teasing their tongues, and agreeing with his thoughts. And Professor Kim Tae-hun smiled and nodded his head as if he was d for their reaction.


    “I''m d you think so. Then... this final exam will be nothing. Information rted to the end-of-semester report will be announcedter through the teaching assistant, so keep that in mind.”


    Professor Kim Tae-hoon leaves the ssroom first with those words.


    After he closed the door and left, thunderous cheers and cheers erupted from inside the ssroom, as if a bomb had exploded.


    “and! oh my god! You''re not taking the test? really?”


    “Is this a true story? Is our professor really the kind of person who would pass on like this?”


    “I know yeah! Group assignments are just fun!”


    “that''s right. It doesn’t evenpare to preparing for that crazy final exam.”


    Sophomores in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University are overjoyed that they do not have to take exams. They each left the ssroom with faces full of joy. Without seeing the dark shadows that would unfold before them.


    * * *


    End of semester report to rece the final exam.


    Detailed information about him was shared with everyone through a group chat room in less than a week.


    “Hmm..... For each group task, 4 people must work together as a group..... The topic can be anything rted to virtual reality...”


    Anyone who wantsplete freedom without a fixed topic or format Professor Kim Tae-Hoon''s task is to make a report by forming a group of four people. It was an extremely generous and easy assignment that allowed me to gauge how unusual this situation was, considering my usual strict personality.


    “Jaeyoung, do you have any topics you want to cover in this assignment?”


    Jae-gyun asks with his eyes shining as if he is having fun. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shook his head.


    “Well... I don’t have anything in mind...”


    “Really? Then, think about it step by step... Well, first of all, I said that four people should form a group, so I should gather two more people, but has anyone thought of it?”


    Jaeyoung and Jaekyun cannot submit the report alone. At least two more names were needed to be written down in the assignment, but to Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, whose academic life was almost an afterthought, none came to mind.


    “Well... wouldn’t it be fine if it was just someone who wasn’t moderately angr?”


    “That’s true, but... wait a minute...”


    Jaeyoung’s words lead to Jaekyun fiddling with his smartphone while chatting with someone while busy. And he started to twitch his face as if he didn''t like it.


    “what''s the matter?”


    A jae-gyun that looks ufortable to nt something. And Jaeyoung, who looked at him with curious eyes and asked, was able to roughly grasp the situation.


    “That''s... I asked Chaeyeon if she made groups...”


    “I asked...?”


    “That... Tae-soo and I are looking for other members...”


    “Um...”


    Kang Tae-soo.


    Jae-kyun and high school ssmates in the past, but the two do not get along enough to be called a bad rtionship.


    The fact that they were openly fighting a fierce battle of nerves with Chae-yeon was a famous story that went beyond the department and spread throughout the working ss university, so Jae-young spat out a silence at Jae-gyun''s words.


    “Hey Jaeyoung.....”


    “I don''t like it.”


    “...I haven’t said anything yet.”


    “Looks like they''re going to ask if it''s okay to team up with the two of them.”


    “.....”


    Jaekyun sticks out his mouth at Jaeyoung’s words and puts on a sullen expression. However, Jaeyoung shook his head in a firm tone and said.


    “Don’t let me get caught up in that crazy love triangle with you, Chaeyeon and Taesoo. It’s a really obvious video of what will happen when the four of us do group assignments.”


    It is clear that even with a trivial thing, they will fight all kinds of nerves and fight aung daung. It was his honest feeling that he didn''t want to be with them in their crazy love affair, so Jaeyoung shook his head as if he hadn''t even thought about it.


    “Yeah, but you said before that you shouldn’t leave Chaeyeon alone with that bastard. He said he had to work hard to win love somehow.”


    “...when the hell did I say that...?”


    Jae-gyun makes strange noises that he can''t even remember. He asked back as if he was absurd, but Jae-gyun said with a confident face.


    “Last year! You said that at the fair! Don’t just sit back and watch Tae-soo’s son attack Chae-yeon.”


    The virtual reality expo where Jaekyun''s talent was first discovered.


    Did I say that at the time? That time when Jaeyoung is recalling her memories with a smile on her face. Jaekyun checked the message at the continuous ringing sound and held up his cell phone to Jaeyoung and said.


    “Chaeyeon asked first if we couldn’t find all the members yet.”


    “Um.....”


    The situation where Chaeyeon suggested that we do an assignment together first. When Jae-young had an ominous intuition that if he refused, Jae-gyun''s whining wouldst for quite some time, Jae-young pondered with a serious face.


    “ah. Jaeyoung-ah Jebaal~. Let''s just be together. huh? You can just do nothing. I''ll do everything, even what you have to do.”


    Jae-gyun, who does not hesitate to do things that make him cringe while even performing aegyo that does not make sense. At his desperate request, Jaeyoung sighed as he trembled with an expression of boredom.


    ‘Ugh..... Shall we just throw it away and go find another group?''


    In my heart, Jae-young has the urge to leave Jae-gyun alone and escape in search of his own way. However, Jaeyoung nodded after thinking for a moment because he didn''t know what would happen after he left this ignorant hukou-like thunder-naked man between the girl and the girl, and he didn''t know what to do next. .


    “Yeah... do as you please.”


    “really?”


    “Anyway, no matter what I do, I get an A, so it doesn’t really matter. I''m just worried that you''ll make a dark history by doing strange things again, so don''t expect anything from me.”


    In fact, Professor Kim Tae-hoon promised an unconditional A regardless of assignments or attendance. Of course, it was necessary to pretend to work hard because it was strictly kept secret from the other ssmates, but until now, Jaeyoung had never been stressed out because of the extremely difficult exams and assignments.


    “huh! Hehehe! I''ll do everything, so just match the assortment. Thank you so much Jaeyoung.”


    Jae-gyun smirks at Jae-young''s eptance and sends a message to Chae-yeon right away. Looking at him with a pitiful look, Jaeyoung closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.


    ‘Really, I don''t know if this guy has no sense or he''s just stupid...'' It''s a


    shame because his exceptional talent shined. Jae-kyun, who couldn''t lift it and didn''t know that he should have gone to school without anyone knowing.


    But after the birth of Arcadia and virtual reality.


    His status has risen to a level that no one can touch at this popr university.


    The first Arcadia Special Schrship student.


    A creator that Mizuni''s chairman praises highly.


    In addition, the winner of the 1st Imagination Competition directly hosted by Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the creator of the masterpiece of the century, ‘The Space Invasion of the Earless Cat Robot'', which caused a great stir in the entire Western world.


    Mr. by the way


    Beyond Seomin University, he is a future talent and a key prospect that the world''s film industry is paying attention to. Originally, it was normal for the surroundings to be crowded with many people, but no one lingered around Jae-gyun because of his unapproachable peculiarity.


    A dirty eye. A fashion sense that cannot be seen with only two eyes.


    A body like a fat uncle and an appearance that doesn''t seem to be doing any maintenance at all.


    Jae-gyun, who seems to have gathered all the elements that would never have a good impression on him. So, Jae-young thought of Jeong, who was kidnapped by the Japanese intelligence service, and decided to ept his unreasonable request.


    And the first day of the group assignment meeting.


    Jae-young sincerely regrets and regrets the choice that was swayed by his emotions.
