Graduation points are affected!

Yoon Shik and Wang Wook were taken away by the inspectors of the academy to the Dongwollang, the building used by inspectors. Sunwo and Do Yeong too followed them. Sung Tae and others on the other hand got happy.

"He will be expelled surely this time. There is no chance that they will be going to spare him. Violence in Sungkyunkwan is prohibited," asserted Chan Sul and laughed along with others.

"Only if the things Wang Wook was saying are true," stated Sung Tae. "If Yoon Shik's mother did such a heinous crime then I think his family will be punished. He loves to defy everyone and now I wanted to see how he will escape this," said Sung Tae and smiled.

"Not only punished but he will be debarred from giving Gwageo (Civil services exam). Sangmins when are given such things usually rebels and the way he converses depict that he is not happy with the system. I still wonder how he learned Hanja (upper-class language) and traditional Chinese. Someone has helped him definitely to be a rebellion against us Yangbans and Chungins," pronounced another disciple of the academy, Chang Min.

"His wings needed to be cut soon which will be done today. But Do Yeong and Park Sunwo will try to defend him," Sung Tae. The seniors came there and told them to take their respective seats and after that give their attendance. The chaos was died out in a while and everyone started eating.

Lee Eunshi finished his food and left from Jinsasikdang Hall. His eunuch Jeong Gwon came to him and kowtow before him. "Aish, you do not need to do such a thing in this academy. Do you want everyone to know about my identity?" Lee Eunshi queried him.

"Daegum (His Excellency), please forgive this servant," said Jeong Gwon, lowering his head. Lee Eunshi raised his hand to him but then put his hand down. "Do not call me with this title anymore. Look into my eyes," muttered Lee Eunshi and looked around.

"Daegam, how can this petty servant look into your pearl eyes," asserted Jeong Gwon.

"You, do you not know in this academy there can be many hidden enemies of mine. So, do not call me with that title. Just call me master or something like that but do not use that title and this 90 degrees bow you do not have to do," proclaimed Lee Eunshi. Jeong Gwon raised his head and looked at him. "I will follow your orders, master," he said.

"Master, I heard there was a fight inside Dongwollang Hall," Jeong Gwon said. Lee Eunshi started walking towards his dormitory which was on the eastern side. "Hmm, there was a fight. One of them hit the other so he will be punished," answered Lee Eunshi. "He has anger issues, I guess. He entered this place after so much hard work and now it will be wasted in a second. Idiot" muttered Lee Eunshi.

"Who are you talking about, master?" Jeong Gwon asked.

"Yoon Shik," replied Lee Eunshi.

"That Sangmin boy?!" chuckled Jeong.

"Yes. Do not title him as a Sangmin. He is not anymore," stated Lee Eunshi. "Leave it aside; tell me why did his majesty change the rules of the academy? I have to share a room with four others and that is annoying," muttered Lee Eunshi. They turned left when saw the inspectors going towards their dormitory.

"What are they doing here?" Lee Eunshi wondered. Jeong Gwon too looked in that direction. "It seems they are going to check his room, master," said Jeong Gwon.

"What?" exclaimed Lee Eunshi and started running to his dormitory. "Daegam" he shook his head "I mean Master, do not run. You will hurt yourself," said Jeong Gwon.

"I am living in the same room as him. If they will check the room then they could find the royal seal which I have left in the room," asserted Lee Eunshi. Jeong Gwon got worried upon hearing those words.

"Master, how could you make this mistake?" Jeong Gwon said. They reached outside the room. The inspectors were checking the things there when Lee Eunshi stopped them. "Halt at your places and stop this investigation," Lee Eunshi said loud enough.

The chief of them came ahead and said, "Sorry, but orders have come so we have to do. Do not worry, we are checking Yoon Shik's identity only," asserted the chief inspector. Lee Eunshi took a breath of relief and told them to continue their investigation.

"Chief, here I found the Identification Tag of Yoon Shik," said one of the three inspectors. Kwak Hong Shi took Hopae (Identification tag in which the bearer's name, place of birth, status, and residence is engraved) from the inspector. He then turned to Lee Eunshi and bowed his head before leaving from there with the other inspectors. Lee Eunshi quickly walked in and went towards his bed. He has put the seat inside the pillow so he took it outside and looked at it. "I have to hide it at a nice place for the time I am in the academy," thought Eunshi.

In the office of Inspectors and Investigation, Yoon Shik was being interrogated. The Head Inspector and Investigator, Kang Ye- Joon put forwarded questions before Yoon Shik which he had to answer. "Is it true that your mother ran away with you and your sister from her house?" was the first question which he had to answer.

"We did not run away. We left the house because my birth father was abusive. My grandma used to live in the village nearest to the kingdom so we started living there," replied Yoon Shik.

"So, Jang Shiwo has adopted you two?" Ye- Joon asked the second question.

"Yes. After a day of my mother and grandmother were murdered. Ahjussi Jang then came forward and took care of us. He is my father now," asserted Yoon Shik.

"Is there no relation between your mother and adopted father?" asked Ye Joon.

Yoon Shik clenched his fist and replied, "No."

"Sir, here is the identification tag of Yoon Shik," said Hong Shi and forwarded the Hopae to Ye Joon. He read the identity of Yoon Shik and then looked at him. He then put it down and turned to Wang Wook.

"How is he your cousin?" Ye Joon asked.

"It is in relation. We are separated by family status," asserted Wang Wook.

"Then how dare you use the name of his mother to excite Yoon Shik? Proofs are needed for saying such things against a person. Do you not think so?" Seuk Han Min stated. Yoon Shik looked at him and found it was the same person who he had seen in the palace.

"And you, Kim Yoon Shik. No one is allowed to use violence in the royal academy in any situation. This is your first day and you started throwing punches here? Is this way you are going to work for great Joseon?" Seuk Han Min questioned. Yoon Shik lowered his head while Wang Wook smiled.

"I apologize for this. But the way he questioned my mother's character made me lose my temper," Yoon Shik declared.

"A scholar never gets violent in his acts in any situation. The definition of Scholar starts from there- no violence at all," asserted Ye Joon. He then turned his head to Seuk Han Min and asked, "What should be the punishment for this?"

"Since it is the first day and both of them did wrong. How about cleaning the clothes of everyone here on this Wednesday?" opined Seuk Han Min.

Kang Ye Joon agreed and looked at Yoon Shik. "You will do the washing clothes job this Wednesday. You will wash the clothes of every person of this academy," Ye Joon announced the punishment for Yoon Shik who accepted that readily.

"Your hands will be going to hurt," Ye Joon asserted and then turned to look at Wang Wook.

"Do not smile too much. You started this thing so you will be punished," said Ye Joon, looking at Wang Wook who got worried upon hearing those words. "You will not speak for two days. Joo Won will follow you around every time. If you will try speaking then you will be flogged," pronounced Head inspector, Ye Joon.

"Head chief, but is this not wrong to give a minor punishment to Yoon Shik? He tried killing me," Wang Wook asserted.

"Two punches do not kill a person. His punishment is severe enough. He will cry after washing so many clothes on the laundry day," Seuk Han Min stated. "Since it was day 1 for you two so punishments are not that severe. Do not worry- no one is expelled from the academy for showing violence against each other but the graduation points are indeed affected by that. I hope you two will make it to the finals by earning those points else keep living here for another year," declared Seuk Han Min and smiled, looking at Yoon Shik.
