I didn't ask this of you just because it inconvenienced me... *Hic*
It was truly a necessary task! Don't you think so?

Summary *Hic* I'm afraid this is our first acquaintance? W-who... might you be?

Step 7

Objective I am here on Chief Scholar Han Munhyeong's behalf.

Summary The C-chief Scholar himself sent you?!
What kind of writing is this... Even the National Affairs Bureau is involved... *Hic*

How... did it end up outside...! *Hic*

Step 10

By chance... Does anyone else...
besides yourself... know about this document? *Hic*

Step 11

Objective Kim Chanyeong discovered it.

If anyone asks about me, k-keep it a secret!

and that kid came by... *Hic*

Step 15

Objective Please explain in more detail.

Summary Well, I was looking for a story
that would entertain children of their age, when...
Hmm... I'd love to tell you more,
but my throat suddenly feels rather parched?
Ah, just one sip of Makgeolli
and my tongue will loosen a bit, I feel?

Step 16

Children always listen better when you embellish your stories
with a bit of

flare from myths of old, don't you think so? *Hic*

Step 17

Summary Haha..! This is it!
So, where was I...
Before the exam... *Hic*
I remember making a wish at the Haetae statue.

Step 18

Objective Myths?

Summary *Hic* Don't tell me you've never heard the story of Haetae?
Haetae are mystical creatures. They can tell a person's moral compass, if they lean right or wrong.

they always pat the Haetae statue and vow to live with integrity... *Hic*

Step 20

Objective What does this have to do with passing the exam?

Summary Well... when I took the exam in the past... *Hic*
It's about the wish I made back then.
I had prepared fairly for the test, so if anyone cheats,
I simply prayed that any who dared to do so would be expelled.
I might have exaggerated the rest of the tale,
just a tad bit, for the kids. *Hic*

Step 21

If the rumors are the issue... *Hic*
Shouldn't we find the one who spread them?

There's a serious problem...
They said it would end in a few hours, but it dragged on and on...
*Hic* It's only natural... *Hic*

Sometimes... you just need to loosen the reins a bit...
That'll make things roll along way better. *Hic*

Step 33

I don't recall any appeals to s-submit today...

Step 34

Objective How would you punish the culprit?

Summary Ah! *Hic* So, it's about that meeting we had last time, right?
