However, you didn't know what high school to go to. You didn't do your research on any good high schools you can go to in South Korea. You didn't even know what city you'd be moving to.
When it was your turn, you went to see Professor Koro in the staff's room with your paper with just "mathematician" written on it.
"Hm... Looking at great midterm grade and overall grades, you would probably be accepted to any high schools." He told you.
"But-"
"Yes, I am aware you are moving to South Korea when you guys kill me. Even then, I believe that you will be accepted anywhere." He said. "Also, may I ask why you only put one option as your career path? I understand why you put your desired school empty, but why only mathematician?"
You didn't know what to say. You weren't even sure why you wanted to be a mathematician other than the fact that you wanted to beat Asano. You thought that it was kinda selfish.
"It may sound selfish... But, I want to beat Asano. He was always ahead of me, especially in math. I thought that if I shift my studies to math, I could beat him somehow."
"Yes... I understand. It is not selfish at all. But is this what you really want to do?"
The room went silent as you didn't know how to answer, but you slowly shook your head, and he put one of his tentacles on your head. You looked up at him and his smile seemed comforting for some reason. He was always smiling, but this time, it felt warm.
"It can be hard choosing a career path, but with remarkable grades like this, I don't understand why you don't do anything that's rather enjoyable than something hard. Your good grades will definitely help if you decide to do something such as art even if you aren't that good."
But that was the problem. There wasn't anything that you could do by enjoying it than having a hard time, but you just nodded your head.
"I will be giving you more time on what you want to do. Please choose something before the week ends. You can come see me anytime. You do not have to tell me what high school you want to go to, however. But please tell me at least your second career path and try to look for something you really want to do." He said, and he let you out the room.
You closed the door behind you, and you sat down and cried in self-defeat. You didn't know what you wanted to do. You thought getting good grades meant you can do whatever you wanted to do, but there wasn't anything you wanted to do.
You then heard footsteps coming in your direction-- probably Karma, since he was after you.
You quickly got up and wiped your tears away, and swiftly went past him.
~~Time skip~~
That night, your uncle got home a lot earlier. You greeted him when he stepped inside, and when he was changed and in comfortable clothes, you asked him to meet you downstairs in the living room.
"Is there something you wanted to ask me?" He asked you.
"Yes, actually..." You said. "Where are we going exactly if we do end up going to South Korea?"
"We will be moving to Gangnam. Anything else?" You fidgeted with your fingers and bit your bottom lip.
"About my high school..."
"What about it?"
"Well... I don't know what I want to be."
"Didn't you tell me you wanted to be a singer when you were younger?"
