Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 104
20. Aftereffects (4)
The next day.
Byung-su Han’s father burst into the school.
Han Cheol-ho shouted with a very angry face.
“Who is Kim Hyun-jin? “What kind of bastard made our precious son’s face look like this?”
“Are you Byeongsu’s father?”
“Yes, I am Han Byeong-soo’s father. “Who are you then?”
“This is Lee Hak-beom, Byung-soo’s homeroom teacher.”
The look in his eyes changed.
The reason he came to the teacher’s office instead of class 3 was to show his anger to the teachers.
“Oh, is that our homeroom teacher? That’s good. Please explain. Byung-soo said that the boy named Kim Hyun-jin usually ignored him and when this incident occurred, he was the first to bump his shoulder and throw a punch. Are you saying that my child should just suffer while the other person is acting so innocent? Yes violence is wrong. “It is true that it is wrong, but isn’t there such a thing as self-defense?”
Okay.
I glanced around.
There were some familiar faces.
As he was born in Daesan and spent his entire life here, his connections were incorporated into the school as well.
Is it because I received a signal?
The teachers stepped forward and spoke in subdued voices.
“Teacher Hakbeom Lee. Byungsoo’s father’s words are not necessarily wrong. Finish it on an appropriate note. “It was a fight between two kids, but I don’t think there’s any need to make it more serious.”
“that’s right. And looking at it, it seems like Hyunjin started the fight first. “Just give Hyunjin some disciplinary action and be done with it.”
The plate was laid.
Han Cheol-ho spoke in a triumphant voice.
“In order to end this matter without a problem, I need to receive an apology from the other party’s guardian. If you don’t…”
“Let’s stop there.”
Lee Hak-beom’s expression became cold.
It was different from what I expected.
Although he could have been swayed by the atmosphere, he calmly expressed his thoughts.
“The reason I called your father was not to handle this case biasedly. So, now that the situation is not clearly resolved, I have no intention of hastily punishing someone and talking about Malchus. I am a teacher at this school and that is the principle that guides students in the right direction.”
A principled person.
Old man.
It wasn’t a nickname given for nothing.
Even though he knew who the opponent was and what his background was, Hakbeom Lee did not show the slightest favor.
“Hyunjin’s guardian will be arriving soon. “Let’s talk about it then.”
* * *
I moved to the counseling room.
Han Cheol-ho did not come alone.
Han Byeong-min, Han Byeong-su’s older brother and eldest son, also attended.
Of course, I had to submit an early dismissal form to the school, but I thought it was necessary for my eldest son to accompany me for the sake of my youngest child.
“Byungsu. There is no need for a boy to be scared about something like this. What did you do wrong? If the teachers say something, tell this dad. If there are kids who are bullying you, tell your older brother. “If you are my son, you should straighten your shoulders and live proudly.”
“okay. “If you had told me from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Two men.
Han Byeong-soo laughed at the support of his father and brother.
It was truly a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
In fact, Byung-soo Han wasn’t that good at fighting, but he never once expressed regret since elementary school. The adults bowed down to my father, and my friends were embarrassed by my older brother. As I lived a life where I was always treated differently, I really didn’t like guys like Kim Hyun-jin who contradicted me.
‘You idiot Kim Hyun-jin. So you should have seen it better right away.’
This incident.
Rather, it became a fun event.
After Kim Hyun-jin is punished, ‘one’s own existence’ will become an area that cannot be dared to be crossed at Daesangwa High School.
It was then.
The door opened and I saw Lee Hak-beom and his face for the first time.
A student who appears to be around the same age as Hyunjin Kim.
He was too young to be a guardian.
At that moment, when Han Byeong-soo was looking at him with a questioning look, Han Cheol-ho and Han Byeong-min’s eyes turned to ‘that student’.
Moment.
The expressions on both of their faces twitched.
It originally had a knowing expression.
Hakbeom Lee sat down.
As Kim Hyun-jin and the mysterious student sat across from him, Lee Hak-beom opened his mouth.
“Originally, Hyunjin’s grandmother was supposed to sit as his guardian, but since he was unwell, his older brother came instead. This is an issue for which we have asked for your understanding in advance, so please understand. Now, I will tell the guardians about this incident. According to students who witnessed the scene at the time, Byeongsu was the first to start a fight. Rather, Hyunjin tried to solve the problem with an apology, but Byeongsu threw a punch, and the fight inevitably escalated. “What does your father think about this?”
“No, what is that!”
Byungsoo Han widened his eyes.
witness.
There was someone who told the truth.
Even though I was furious about the unknown witness, I had faith that my father would solve this problem well.
This is a person whose arms are always bent inward.
Han Byeong-soo struggled to swallow his anger, but Han Cheol-ho’s remarks were different from what he expected.
“…sorry. This is my fault for raising my son incorrectly. “I will thoroughly scold my son and be careful to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
“dad!”
My head turned.
It was a completely different attitude from when I visited the teacher’s office.
Han Cheol-ho’s eyebrows jumped up at the look in Han Byeong-soo’s eyes.
“Han Byung-soo! Quickly apologize! The teacher said According to witnesses, you started the fight first and threw the first punch. But you lied to me and made the teachers scream? “Why don’t you apologize quickly?”
“I said I didn’t do that! Why don’t you believe me! “Brother, please say something.”
It was strange.
This time, he grabbed his brother and appealed to his emotions, but Byung-min Han avoided his gaze and muttered in a voice that sounded like he was crawling away, wondering what was going on.
“…It’s true that you did something wrong. So just apologize and get it over with.”
“Oh really!”
What the hell is this?
I didn’t understand what was going on.
Even just yesterday, in the car on the way to school.
And even a little while ago.
His father and brother told him not to worry and that they were on his side, but he couldn’t understand their sudden change in attitude.
No more.
No excuses worked.
A situation where not only witnesses but also guardians have been betrayed.
Hakbeom Lee organized the situation.
“In this case, Byung-soo’s crime is very serious. Not only did he unilaterally assault his friend, but he also tried to cover up the situation with lies. There will be ‘official punishment’ at school for this. Do you agree?”
“…I agree.”
“Then, we will end this situation by disciplining Han Byeong-soo.”
The situation has been resolved.
Contrary to expectations, it was a one-sided defeat for Han Byeong-soo.
The two guardians stood up.
Then Lee Hak-beom looked at Kim Hyun-jin’s guardian and said.
“Oh, Hyunjin’s guardian, please stay for a while. “I have something else to say.”
* * *
The counseling room where everyone has left.
Lee Hak-beom said while looking at Kim Hyun-jin’s guardian, Kim Hyun-seong.
“I heard it through rumors. Principal of Myeongjin Construction Cheonil High School. I heard that prominent people in Daesan are openly pushing you. “Actually, I don’t like you that much and I don’t think this is the right thing to do, but I called you to this school as your guardian because I want a good child like Hyunjin to go to school without any problems.”
A series of situations.
It was Lee Hak-beom’s calculation.
Lee Hak-beom knew what kind of person Kim Hyun-seong was.
How would Byung-soo Han’s father react if he appeared?
“If this incident ends with the students’ minor deviance, Hyunjin, who was beaten by Byungsoo, will have a hellish school life. Other people call me a principled person and an old guy, but I’m not that stubborn of a person. I just want students to live a normal life like everyone else. “For some reason, you seemed to have enough ability to protect Hyunjin.”
“thank you.”
I meant it.
Kim Hyun-seong bowed his head towards Lee Hak-beom.
his presence.
This was the reason why Hyunjin Kim was sent to a science high school.
In my past life, when school violence emerged as a social problem, the work of ‘Teacher Lee Hak-beom’ in Daesan became known to people. At that time, there were Golden Circle clients in science high schools as well. After Kim Hyun-seong’s death, the Golden Circle’s power rapidly expanded into local areas, and Lee Hak-beom was fired from the school while trying to protect a student who was the Golden Circle’s target. Still, he did not give up until the end. Even though it meant completely losing his life, he took care of the victim by transferring him to another school and giving him private tutoring.
Later.
He was able to return to his job as a true educator.
As the identity of the Golden Circle was revealed and his honor was restored, Kim Hyun-seong remembered Lee Hak-beom’s name accurately.
so.
I wanted to send Hyunjin Kim to a science high school.
Cheonil High School is Kim Hyun-seong’s world, but it is also a world full of bad educators such as Kim Young-cheol and Oh Dae-hwan. That’s why, like Lee Hak-beom. I hoped to create a future at a school with teachers who truly care about students.
If it’s Lee Hak-beom.
We will not bow down to power.
At the very least, you will make the right decision for the student.
Of course, the expectations were not completely correct.
Contrary to the expectation that he would handle the task in a straightforward manner, Lee Hak-beom knew how to take advantage of Kim Hyun-seong’s presence.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“I will be careful to ensure that something like this never happens again. If Hyunjin makes the same mistake as the perpetrators, please punish him as severely as today. I will accept it as I should. Thank you so much.”
I bowed my head.
For the right educator.
Hyunseong Kim was willing to bow his head.
* * *
Han Cheol-ho.
After leaving the counseling room, he looked anxious.
‘It’s clear. He was the student sponsored by Managing Director Go Chang-beom.’
Go Chang-beom.
He was once a badass representing Daesan, but he has recently shown good performance and has emerged as a strong successor to Myungjin Construction. For Han Cheol-ho, who runs a construction company in Daesan, he was a person for whom even giving up his entire liver and gallbladder would not be enough.
But recently.
Rumors circulated.
There is a student who Go Chang-beom wholeheartedly supports, and there are rumors that he may be his secret child.
Of course, it was nonsense.
Although it is not an impossible age to have an accident at an early age, there were many things that did not make sense to form a link between Kim Hyun-sung and Go Chang-beom. The important thing is that Go Chang-beom sincerely supports Kim Hyun-sung. It wasn’t just a one-time thing, it was to the extent that Myungjin Construction built a gymnasium at ‘Cheonil High School’.
For that reason.
A montage of Kim Hyun-seong was sprinkled.
If you meet a student like this, at least try not to make mistakes.
It was a kind of warning.
This meant that Go Chang-beom should not create a situation that would make Myungjin Construction look bad by touching a student he sponsored.
That was the same as my brother’s position.
Byung-min Han was not the best at Daesan Mirae High School.
I was one of the students who was just having fun, but I recently heard a rumor that Kim Hyun-seong single-handedly defeated Jeong Hae-min’s gang. But how on earth could he take his younger brother’s side? At first, I was thinking of warning the guy named Kim Hyun-jin who dared to mess with my younger brother, but the moment I found Kim Hyun-seong, all my thoughts disappeared.
I couldn’t touch it.
This was forbidden territory.
When Jjang from Daesan Mirae High School was brutally beaten and went to school, Byeong-min Han thought that he would never come near Cheonil.
Without even knowing what the two were thinking.
As soon as Byeongsu Han left the counseling room, he whined.
“No really, what is this! He said he would solve everything. He said he would take my side. But what if I just say I’m sorry? If I get disciplined this time, I’m sure I’ll have problems when I go to college…”
“Hey, Byung-soo Han!”
Before Han Cheol-ho spoke.
Byungmin Han screamed.
When Han Byeong-soo suddenly stopped talking and looked at him in surprise, Han Byeong-min spoke with a murderous expression.
“You don’t know who he is? “Did you touch Hyunjin Kim without knowing who he was?”
“who? “Who is it?”
“Kim Hyun-seong.”
“what?”
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
For a moment, cognitive dissonance arose as to whether he was the protagonist of the rumor, and then Byeong-soo Han’s eyes suddenly shook as if he realized the reality.
“…That Kim Hyun-seong?”
“Yes, Kim Hyun-seong from Thousand Days. No, no matter what, you don’t have to touch people while you’re at it. If it’s Kim Hyun-seong, he’s the one who ate up the entire Daesan, and he’s also sponsored by Myungjin Construction. “What should I do if a bastard from a construction company touches Kim Hyun-seong without knowing his father’s situation?”
“Ugh.”
Han Cheol-ho sighed and turned his head.
Then I realized.
What did you do wrong?
It was then.
Before Byung-soo Han could react, the door to the counseling room opened and Kim Hyun-seong appeared.
“hey.”
“…!”
Byungsoo Han was very surprised.
When I thought it was Kim Hyun-seong from Thousand Days, the person looked different.
“Follow me. Your brother and that bastard called Dad there.”
In those words.
Byungsoo Han’s heart sank.
