The chapter opens with a group of students discussing the assignment for the day. The students are divided into three groups and each group is assigned a task. The first group consists of the students from the previous class, while the second group is composed of students who are new to the university and are not familiar with the university's procedures. The group is led by a freshman named Park, who is the only student in the group who is not a member of the first two groups. He is eager to learn more about the university, and he asks the other students to give him the most difficult assignment. He asks the group to divide the work into two parts, one for each student, so that he can complete the assignment in one sitting.
