When Jin Yunho and Shin Dong-hae arrived at the multimedia classroom, they found that there were already people inside. A young man wearing glasses was directing a few students to set up the podium. Jin Yunho approached the man, and only then did he put down his work and introduce himself: "Hello, I am Professor Young Sang-myeong from Seoul National University, and I am also Professor Choi Joon-deok's assistant. I am responsible for organizing the students to listen to your lecture tonight."

Noticing Young Sang-myeong's cold demeanor and the hidden sarcasm in his words, Jin Yunho was somewhat surprised. _What have I done to you? Why are you so indifferent and dissatisfied?_ Jin Yunho initially thought that his lecture tonight had forced Young Sang-myeong to work overtime, delaying his rest time, which was why he was unhappy. However, noticing his defensive expression and the hostility in his eyes, Jin Yunho realized something was off. He and Young Sang-myeong were strangers with no significant connection, so Jin Yunho speculated that Young Sang-myeong's defensiveness and hostility could only be explained by his identity as a trainee prosecutor.

After realizing this, Jin Yunho was about to probe Young Sang-myeong, but the class time arrived. Reluctantly, he had to focus on the lecture first.

The Law and Politics Department of Seoul National University mainly cultivates three types of students: lawyers, judges, and prosecutors. The students attending the lecture tonight were all aspiring prosecutors, and they were among the best.

Looking at the over 100 students below, Jin Yunho was not nervous at all. He had faced dangerous criminals calmly, and a group of students was nothing to him. Moreover, he had often tutored his sister who was preparing for the civil service exam, so he was quite experienced in teaching.

However, before the class started, Young Sang-myeong tried to undermine him. Young Sang-myeong introduced him to the students: "We are fortunate to have the most outstanding judicial examination top scorer in Korean history, Mr. Jin Yunho, with us tonight. He will share a lot of profound knowledge with you. Please pay attention and listen carefully. Let's give Mr. Jin Yunho the warmest applause."

After his introduction, Young Sang-myeong left the podium to Jin Yunho and sat among the students, waiting to see him fail. _A lucky top scorer in the judicial examination is showing off at Seoul National University. If I don't give him a taste of his own medicine, he'll think he's something special. Can just anyone lecture at a university of this level?_

Young Sang-myeong was already unhappy with Jin Yunho, and after learning about his identity as a prosecutor, his hostility only increased.

On the other side, Jin Yunho felt somewhat awkward as he walked up to the podium. _What the heck! Introducing me like this, making me seem so great, you want to see me fail and embarrass myself? What have I done to you? This grudge, I'll remember it._

He picked up the microphone and first humbly addressed the students to mitigate the negative impact of Young Sang-myeong's introduction. Then he briefly introduced his background and began his lecture:

"I am a 2003 judicial examination candidate. Five years have passed, and the exam content has changed. To be honest, I have also forgotten some of the knowledge. Therefore, tonight's lecture will mainly share my experience, focusing on the rules of the exam.

Before we start, let's do an experiment. The first female student in the first row, please stand up and introduce yourself to me."

Hearing Jin Yunho call her name, the girl looked around, confirming it was her, and then stood up. She first bowed to Jin Yunho and then said, "Hello, my name is Lee Mong-yao."

Jin Yunho nodded and asked her to sit down before continuing:

"Did you see that? When Lee Mong-yao answered my question, she bowed. Because I am older and have passed the judicial examination before her, I am her senior, so she bowed in response. This is a rule, a social etiquette rule that exists in reality.

Similarly, there are rules in the judicial examination. Let's analyze them and uncover the veil of these rules.

The exam paper in my hand is from last year's English section. I believe you are all familiar with this paper. Let's analyze the first reading comprehension question.

This short article is an essay discussing whether it is reasonable for Koreans to prefer Korean beef. It is divided into four paragraphs and has five multiple-choice questions.

The rule I am talking about is: the four paragraphs correspond to the first to fourth multiple-choice questions, and the fifth question tests the candidate's understanding of the author's viewpoint.

In other words, to save time during the exam, you don't need to read the article first. You can understand the five multiple-choice questions first and then find the answers in the article in order.

For example, the first question asks about the difference between Korean beef and imported beef. After reading the question, you can go directly to the first paragraph to find the answer.

This method can save a lot of time and increase the accuracy of your answers."

Jin Yunho's theory caused a stir among the students. Previously, they would read the article first, then the multiple-choice questions, and then go back to the article to find the answers, which meant they had to read the article at least twice.

However, if they followed Jin Yunho's method, they only needed to read the article once.

This novel exam technique and theory were something they had never heard before. Some students took out last year's English exam papers and analyzed them, finding that the answers to the first multiple-choice question were indeed in the first paragraph, the second in the second paragraph, and so on.

Some students were enlightened, thinking Jin Yunho's exam method was very practical and impressive. However, others were skeptical, believing that Jin Yunho's 'rule' exam technique was not scientific and could not be generalized. One of these skeptics was Professor Young Sang-myeong.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jin Yunho, may I interrupt? I would like to remind you that this is a school. When anyone is teaching students, they must maintain a rigorous attitude and not mislead them or teach unscientific or incorrect knowledge."

Young Sang-myeong was polite, but his words were harsh, almost accusing Jin Yunho of being a fraud.

Jin Yunho frowned, not expecting Young Sang-myeong to be so low, trying to embarrass him in class. _Since you insist on being hostile, I won't be polite either._

Jin Yunho countered, "I don't understand your point. Do you think I am talking nonsense? Speak with evidence. Please provide examples to refute me. You can choose any reading comprehension question from the last 15 years of English exam papers."

"I can responsibly tell you that this exam technique is the result of two years of analysis and research on exam papers from 1993 to 2002. It is reliable."

After Jin Yunho was transported to Korea and became a 7-year-old child, he was determined to become a prosecutor to change his family's poor living conditions and pursue his passion for criminal investigation. For over a decade, he did only two things: helping his mother deliver jajangmyeon and preparing for the judicial examination.

He did not attend school but spent all his free time studying for the judicial examination. His diligence, combined with his previous life's experience, allowed him to master many exam techniques, and the 'rule' exam technique was just one of them.

This 'rule' exam technique was widely known in the future China, and a regular college student could learn it by paying a fee at an educational institution.

However, Young Sang-myeong was unaware of Jin Yunho's unique background and the educational situation in China. When he first heard about Jin Yunho's 'rule' exam technique, his first reaction was disbelief. Such an impressive exam technique was unheard of. If it really existed, why hadn't anyone mentioned it before? He thought Jin Yunho's examples were just coincidences.

But seeing Jin Yunho's confident demeanor, he hesitated. Could this exam technique really exist?

With the help of a few top students, he searched for evidence to refute Jin Yunho, but after more than ten minutes, he found nothing. It seemed that every reading comprehension question did indeed follow the rule Jin Yunho described.

At this point, the students below also flipped through the exam papers, verifying that Jin Yunho's exam technique was real. They were all amazed. _Using this technique, how much time could we save in future English exams?_

Subsequently, these students became Jin Yunho's fans and supporters, even idolizing him.

During this time, Jin Yunho was leisurely playing with the computer on the podium, even starting a game of Minesweeper. He wondered if Young Sang-myeong would be furious seeing him so relaxed.

Noticing the gradually quieting audience, Jin Yunho finally looked up and said, "Ha, it seems you have all verified it. From your expressions, I can tell you believe in the authenticity of this 'rule' exam technique."

"Sorry, Senior Jin Yunho, I misunderstood you. Please continue your lecture. We want to learn more about the 'rule' exam technique," the girl named Lee Mong-yao stood up and pleaded.

"Ha, don't worry, I'm not angry. Students should have the spirit of seeking the truth, like the one who stood up to challenge me. He is a role model for you all," Jin Yunho said with a mischievous smile.

_He is a role model for you all._

_He is a role model for you all!_

This phrase kept floating in Young Sang-myeong's head, making him furious. As a respected lecturer at Seoul National University, he was now categorized as a student and even called a role model for others. This was a subtle insult.

He wanted to argue but had no valid point, so he could only suppress his anger. This made Young Sang-myeong extremely frustrated.

On the podium, Jin Yunho glanced at Young Sang-myeong with a sly smile. _You wanted to undermine me, to mock me for not having anything profound to say. Now that I've introduced this groundbreaking 'rule' exam technique, what do you have to say?_

Jin Yunho turned back to the students, temporarily putting aside his personal grudge with Young Sang-myeong, and continued to explain the exam technique in detail. He provided examples and analyzed its applicability in constitutional law, civil law, criminal law, and economics.

The lecture lasted nearly two hours.

The students benefited greatly and were all smiling.

The only one unhappy was Young Sang-myeong. He did not expect his actions to backfire, making Jin Yunho shine in class and earn high praise from the students.

Frustrated, Young Sang-myeong left the classroom before the lecture ended, unable to bear seeing Jin Yunho's triumphant face.

After the class, Jin Yunho remembered Young Sang-myeong. He had been so engrossed in the lecture that he forgot his original plan to probe him and see if he was involved in the case. But when he tried to find Young Sang-myeong, he was nowhere to be found.

_Damn it! Use your brain! You're here to solve a case, not to be a lecturer!_

Jin Yunho slapped his forehead, feeling guilty.

"Boss, you did great. The students were all captivated. You should consider becoming a lecturer," Shin Dong-hae said, trying to flatter him.

Unfortunately, his flattery backfired.

"Get lost!" Jin Yunho snapped, irritated by the reminder.
