Chapter 65 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 65: Reunion with Celebrity Han Mina
Jeong Bong-sik sighed deeply as he sat in his office.
“Ha.”
There was one reason.
“Oh, that’s too bad. It’s such a shame…….”
Jeong Bong-sik was watching a video.
It was a video of the monthly evaluation of Class A sent by academy, student that his company was in charge of.
And in that video, there was a scene of Yu Ah-ra fighting on equal terms with Baek Han-beom.
“How on earth did you do that?”
Bong-sik muttered as he looked at Yu Ah-ra on the screen.
It was clear that just a few months ago, she was a student who was on the verge of failing a grade.
Not only him, but all of the tutors under his tutelage had let go of Yu Ah-ra.
– This kid has no potential.
– She’s finished. She’ll never grow.
– She’ll probably repeat a year again and get expelled from the academy.
So he went to see Kim Si-woo. He saw Si-woo when he was forming a party together, when he was active as hunter.
Si-woo was someone, who made the skills of the party members grow incredibly.
Jeong Bong-sik also received some help.
It was a very simple tip, but Jeong Bong-sik improved a lot with just that one small tip. Thanks to that, he became famous as a hunter and was able to reach this point.
Although he didn’t receive any direct help after the party was broken up by Shin Seo-ah hitting him in the back of the head.
So Bong-sik hoped Si-woo would just get Yu Ah-ra out of the failed class.
He was capable of that.
But.
“To put her straight into class A as the top student in her grade…….”
It was an unbelievable growth.
Not to mention, he achieved that in only six months.
No, if you think about it, it was even shorter than that.
Has there ever been anyone in the history of the Academy who was promoted from Class D to Class A in that short period of time?
‘No, not at all.’
Kim Si-woo not only helped Yu Ah-ra, who everyone said would not be able to do it, to escape from being a repeat student, but also promoted her to Class A. Not only that, he also made her have a showdown with Baek Han-beom, who is called the ace of Class A.
It’s one of the two.
Either all the tutors in the company, including himself, are blind fools who can’t even recognize a student who is destined to succeed. Or Kim Si-woo has an extraordinary talent for developing talent.
Bong-sik was jealous.
Yu Ah-ra?
No.
It was Kim Si-woo who made Yu Ah-ra like that.
So, in order to recruit him, he tried to threaten, not threaten, Daesung… … .
‘It didn’t work at all.’
Well, if he was someone who could do that, he would have already been under Daesung.
It was a mistake that Bong-sik made because he was anxious.
When he thinks about the expression on Kim Si-woo’s face when the name Daesung came up…
“Ha, I really regret it. I regret it.”
If they had recruited Kim Si-woo into the company a little more cleverly, Yu Ah-ra’s groundbreaking promotion would have been an achievement for the company.
He swallowed his saliva.
There are four levels of tutoring run by Bong-sik.
A basic course for students in Class D.
A general course for students in the lower ranks of Class C and the upper ranks of Class D. An
intensive course for students in the upper ranks of Class C and the lower ranks of Class B.
Finally, an elite course for students in the upper ranks of Class B.
The tutoring fees varied greatly at each level, and the courses and teachers in charge were all different.
Why isn’t there an A class?
Because students who can get to that level don’t need private tutoring.
There are private tutoring classes, or hunters from guilds that have been in contact with them for a long time come to teach practical skills.
To begin with, this private tutoring business was not aimed at students in Class A. There is a limit to what regular teachers can teach.
But what if Kim Si-woo had been there?
All the students in Class A might have been studying at Bong-sik’s academy.
Of course, it has been running well so far.
It has only been a year and a half.
It is a short period of time, but now, the number of students taking the basic and general courses has exceeded 100 across all grades.
If calculated quarterly, it is a truly enormous income.
There are 20 students taking the advanced course and 10 students taking the elite course.
When students who took the elite course often moved up to Class A, Bong-sik would advertise it extensively.
That a certain student had been promoted to Class A.
And that he had signed a contract with a famous guild.
Then, rumors would spread among the students.
Even though they are adults, they are still students. Why would a student who have money to sign up for private tutoring, wouldn’t join?
In fact, the ones who gave Bong-sik money were not the students, but their parents. Bong-sik also knows that there is already a community among them.
It shows how desperate parents are to see their children succeed.
If he had let word of mouth spread.
After all, that’s what marketing for private tutoring is all about.
If Kim Si-woo had been the company’s teacher, he would have achieved tremendous success by now.
“Should I try contacting him again?”
Bong-sik thought while holding his cell phone.

“Agggggggggggggg!!!”
After finishing his training, Kim Si-woo screamed and got up from his seat. It was the first time in a
while that he trained as if it were a real fight.
To test out his S-rank skill, Mobile Strike, which he had acquired for the first time.
“It’s all ruined.”
He muttered as he looked at the training equipment that was shattered by his fist. The power of the mobile strike which he received from Lee Hye-ri was truly destructive.
All the training equipment protected by mana was shattered under his fist.
This was the first time this had happened.
No matter how much force Si-woo applied, the equipment would not break was shattered like this.
“The telekinesis was also good…….”
This is no joke either.
The feeling of lightness in the body as soon as you cast the mobile strike, the explosive power you feel when you strike once, the destructive power you feel when you swing your fist or swing your weapon.
It felt different from telekinesis, which simply gave the feeling of using magic.
“Whenever I fight Daesung, this skill will come in handy.”
Kim Si-woo only used the skill count once for testing, but he got some good data. And that’s it.
“Just having two or more skills is a pretty good merit.”
Although there is a limit to the number of times you can use it, just having it allows you to engage in a variety of battles.
After quickly evading the enemy with a mobile strike, you can use telekinesis on the exact spot where the enemy attacked you.
Or you can intercept the enemy with telekinesis from a distance without giving them any distance…
Hunters below B-class can easily be dealt with something like this. The problem is fighting the truly strong ones…
“Wouldn’t it be okay to teach several students?”
Si-woo finished today’s training by finally loosening up his sore muscles.
“Let’s go buy some dinner at the convenience store and then go in.”
He don’t even want to cook. He’d used up all the energy he had left on training, so now he should just go home and get some sleep.
“Whew, it’s going to cost a lot of money to compensate for this.”
When Kim Si-woo was a hunter, he could break dozens of these without any financial impact.
He could earn more than that.
Now that he didn’t earn that much, he have to be careful when practicing from now on.
After finishing organizing like that, he was on his way back home.
“Did you see that woman who just passed by? She had an amazing body.”
“Her breasts are really… I told you I was shocked when I saw her.”
“Isn’t she a celebrity? She was even wearing sunglasses and a mask.”
“Hey, why would a celebrity be in this neighborhood?”
Kim Si-woo heard several men talking. He passed them, without thinking much of it and headed to the convenience store.
“Excuse me. Just a moment.”
A strange woman’s voice was heard.
“Hey, didn’t you hear? Over there!”
No, to be exact, it was familiar, but the force in her speech was different. The owner of the voice he knew spoke in a completely creepy tone.
“Hey!”
When Si-woo turned his head, there was a woman standing there wearing sunglasses and a mask.
She looked at him with her arms crossed. She was wearing familiar sunglasses and a mask that covered more than half of her face, but still had a lot of space left.
It was Han Mina.
‘The atmosphere is different than usual.’
It was the appearance of the celebrity he often saw on TV.
There are many cases where people change in an instant.
However, in Han Mina’s case, only one thing came to mind.
Her ability is hypnosis.
Now, she has appeared in front of me as the celebrity Han Mina through self-hypnosis.
‘I never thought the celebrity Han Mina would appear in front of me.’
Kim Si-woo thought Han Mina would hide her celebrity status until the end.
It was unexpected for a celebrity to come to visit. There are two reasons for this.
Either she was so confident in her abilities that he completely forgot about her.
Or she was so precarious that she had to come to me.
Since Si-woo had no way of knowing her true feelings, he had to find out now.
“Who are you?”
It was a face he had seen many times, but he pretended not to know her.
She must have thought he was hypnotized and had forgotten her.
“You don’t know?”
“I have no idea.”
Kim Si-woo was honestly surprised by how drastically the person had changed, to the point where he wondered if it was the same person.
“Really? You know……. I’m more famous than you think.”
Again, again, again.
She walked towards him and took off her sunglasses and mask. Her confident eyes and charming smile were enough to seduce people.
“Hey, Ms. Han Mina? Are you really Ms. Han Mina?”
Si-woo pretended to be surprised and shouted at her.
“Nice to meet you. You’re Kim Si-woo, right?”
“Yes, but how do you know me?”
“Ah…….”
Han Mina was embarrassed by Kim Si-woo’s question and kept her mouth shut.
‘Didn’t she even think about this?’ she scolded herself.
“Oh, that’s because I actually know Yu Ah-ra.”
“You mean Ah-ra?”
“Yes.”
It’s a little different from what Ah-ra said.
She said that it seemed like they were in the same grade, but they didn’t really have anything in common.
But there is no need to doubt here.
Whether she was really close to Yu Ah-ra or not was not important in this situation. What was important was why she came.
“What happened to Ah-ra?”
“Oh, that’s not it… Actually, it’s more of a problem for me than Ah-ra.”
“Is it Mina’s problem?”
“Yes.”
This is a problem that has befallen Han Mina.
Is it really true that such a famous celebrity would come to him, for private tutoring?
If that is the case, then it is a very precarious situation.
Wasn’t she doing well in both the Academy and the entertainment industry?
What’s the problem?
“I heard you’re a skilled private tutor. Would it be possible to take a tour to see how you teach children?”
“A tour?”
“Yes. My growth has slowed down recently.”
“…….”
Kim Si-woo kept his mouth shut for a moment, understanding the implications of what was meant by slow growth.
‘I know that I am the one who taught Ah-ra, and she emphasized her friendship and the reason she brought up the issue of her growth being slow.’
It was simple. She wanted to learn from me. She wanted to develop her abilities.
It was a blessing that came from an unexpected place.
Just as Han Mina wanted me, Si-woo also desires to have her ability, ‘hypnosis’.
That’s why he had to teach her no matter what.
No matter how much her current grades and future potential were.
But.
“I’m sorry.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry, but it’s not in my power to decide whether or not to observe students’ classes.”
He can’t show you.
Neither Yu Ah-ra’s class nor Lee Hye-ri’s class.
“Ah, but……”
“This is a matter of students’ privacy.”
“P, privacy?”
“Yes. It’s a sensitive issue, isn’t it? You mean showing it to others?”
“Oh, uh, uh, that’s right. It’s a sensitive issue……”
There was a saying among hunters that they should not show their skills to even their party members.
If they revealed both the strengths and weaknesses of their skills, it would be no different from revealing all of their assets.
Lee Hye-ri was especially sensitive because she had recently been learning the new Heavenly Spear method.
Ah-ra would refuse.
She had been having a lot of bad feelings lately, so she wouldn’t want anyone in her class.
So he declined.
It was the best condition for recruiting Han Mina, but it was a matter of trust between the students and him.
“T-Tell me, then you can’t show it to me?”
“Yes, I’m sorry. Even if you’re Han Mina, that’s impossible.”
“Then what if I get permission from the student herself?”
He don’t think it will work, so is she going to hypnotize those kids?
“That won’t work either.”
“Yeah, that’s right…….”
First of all, Si-woo told her not to do it. He couldn’t stand the thought of her trying to persuade his students through hypnosis.
‘Even though I can resist hypnosis, I can’t guarantee that other students can.’
The initiative in this negotiation had to be mine alone.
If someone had to change the rules, Si-woo preferred, to do it himself, and if he had to give permission, he had to do it himself to gain the upper hand.
Maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Han Mina, who had been trying to figure something out on her own, blushed.
“Okay, then there’s no other way. I’ll go. Goodbye.”
She ran away with her head down. It was a pity.
In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered if she had started the tour right away.
Ah-ra would hate it, but the process of persuading her wouldn’t have been difficult.
‘It’s no fun to just give permission.’
She needed to be a little impatient.
Celebrity Han Mina. How many times has she been rejected in her life?
Not that many, right?
Even less after she got hypnosis.
So he rejected her.
To increase her urgency.
‘If it weren’t for your desperation, you wouldn’t have come back to me.’
Even if you think you’ve erased someone’s memories through hypnosis, it’s not easy to find the person who revealed their true self behind the mask.
‘It’s a shame that I can’t recruit her right now…’
‘Because the desperate ones will try to find the well.’
When she starts to feel desperate, this time she comes to me. To take advantage of this.
‘I need Ah-ra.’
Among his acquaintances, she was the only one who had even a passing connection with Han Mina.
***
‘Pervert, pervert, king pervert!’
He clearly said he couldn’t show it. He can’t show it because it’s embarrassing.
Surely, he’s not really going to strip the kids of their clothes and do something dirty?
How much of an obscene thing did he do, to such extent that you can’t show it to anyone?
Han Mina thought about asking him through hypnosis. But she still had a radio schedule tonight.
If she hypnotized him here and now, she wouldn’t be able to go to the radio schedule tonight.
‘There are plenty of opportunities. And I didn’t necessarily have to hear the man’s answer.’
“I should go and ask Yu Ah-ra tomorrow.”
Han Mina made up her mind.
