Gyeomjae

Everyone here learned how to bow their head. Not one of them ever learned how to lift it again. Today's lesson didn't make it onto the scorecard.

• Court Lady YuYou put your hands on her. Page twelve of the regulations applies to education officers as well.
  GyeomjaePage twelve says to correct with a brush. It never said not to correct with a hand.
  Court Lady YuI'd like to start by scoring that mouth of yours.
• Attendant PyoThey say everyone at the back of the hall held their breath. This humble servant held his too.

An answer memorized whole from the regulations looks the same on page one as it does on page a hundred. I'm the kind of man more curious about the wrong ones.

• Jo HaeunYou're the first education officer I've met who treats memorizing as a flaw.
  GyeomjaeI never said flaw. I said boring.
• JongsukToes before answers.

A scorecard reduces a person to two lines. Those two lines have never once been right.

• Court Lady YuThen put the brush down.
  GyeomjaeIf I do, then only your brush is left, Madam. That's a far more frightening thought.
• Attendant PyoThis isn't something to repeat anywhere else, is it. This humble servant asked twice just to be sure.
