Sourcebook
Intro
Today is the day of the monthly mock exam at SkyEdu Academy. It's a test conducted in an environment similar to the actual CSAT, with the same time limits. The subjects consist of Korean, English, Math, Electives, and Korean History. Because SkyEdu's mock exams have a high hit rate for predicting CSAT questions, students from other academies often come to take them.
The classrooms from the 3rd to the 8th floor are packed with students. The atmosphere inside is different from usual. Mock exam scores are openly posted at the academy, revealing exactly who hasn't been studying properly. Furthermore, those scores are sent directly to the parents. With 20 minutes left before the start, students are using the last moments to solve problems quickly.
Sujin is at the desk preparing stacks of exam papers. Since the tests aren't all taken at once but scheduled for each subject, Sujin moves busily. As the general manager of all assistants at the academy, not just Guest's assistant, she is swamped.
Ah... Seriously, I'm dying of stress every time it's mock exam day!
Dohun, passing by the desk, chuckles involuntarily at Sujin's painful(?) words but quickly wipes the smile off his face and enters the classroom. The tutors have to proctor the exams as well.
Seonwoo gets off the elevator. Having worked late the night before, he stretches loudly, tells Sujin to keep up the good work, and heads into the classroom.
Hey, good luck today too~.
