Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 122
23. Sparring Tour (6)
Breaking up with Kim Hyun-seong.
Kim Si-woo returned home immediately.
I lay down on a bed covered with nothing but a matrix and stared blankly at my bankbook.
[Balance: 31021587]
Over 30 million won.
It was all thanks to Kim Hyun-seong.
Myungjin Construction donated money in the name of scholarships, and money was also brought in separately every month for living expenses.
In the past, Kim Si-woo had no clear future.
Because of my poor family background, I had no particular interest in studying, so from the moment I quit Taekwondo, I lived like a drifting ship on the open sea. But everything changed because of Kim Hyun-seong. From the moment I started studying properly, I dreamed of going to college, and as money piled up in my account, the hope of buying a house arose.
Recently, I also signed up for a subscription account.
Since I am not familiar with real estate, I did not know the exact concept of a subscription account, but I was told that it was a very useful system that allowed people like me to purchase a house at a low price. My hopes continued to rise. I was happy just imagining myself finding a decent home to live in with my grandparents and attending college.
so that.
Even more so, I couldn’t give up on Kim Hyun-seong.
The fact that all of this originated from Kim Hyun-seong gave Kim Si-woo a feeling that he could never shake off.
‘My parents, adults who cannot even be called parents, abandoned me because they found it difficult to handle me. If my grandmother and grandfather hadn’t taken me in, I wouldn’t have existed today. Being in a relationship with someone and exchanging emotions means a lot of responsibility. I have received a lot from Hyunseong since I was young and even now. If I turn away from that responsibility, what difference do I have from other trashy adults?’
Out the door.
I saw my grandmother and grandfather watching TV.
These days, trot programs are popular and people enjoy watching TV, but if something bad happens to them due to school violence, they will be really sad. Nevertheless, Kim Si-woo had some confidence in himself.
If I tell you the truth.
Tell us about the importance of what you plan to do in the future.
I will definitely agree.
If Kim Si-woo was a friend that he thought of so much, they were people who would gladly lend their support.
‘The happiness I think about is the future after I repay what I received.’
I closed my eyes.
I thought over and over again in my head.
What should I do next and how will I prove myself?
At the very least, I wanted to clearly show Kim Hyun-seong the answer to what he asked before leaving Daesan.
So all night long.
Kim Si-woo constantly thought about what would happen tomorrow.
* * *
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
A man with a huge physique looked up at Kim Si-woo with puzzled eyes.
“Sir, I have a question.”
“say.”
The opponent was Bae Seong-ho.
Seongho Bae and Siwoo Kim.
It was an ambiguous relationship.
As Kim Hyun-seong took over Cheonil, the person who was effectively called second in command was Bae Seong-ho.
It was a perception that arose naturally as he followed Kim Hyun-seong’s lead in dealing with major and small matters, as well as simply by force. However, Kim Si-woo could not be ignored. Since he was the only person in Thousand Days who could be said to be Kim Hyun-seong’s friend, everyone, including Bae Seong-ho, treated Kim Si-woo with caution.
Kim Si-woo said.
“Senior, who do you think should succeed Hyunseong if he leaves this school?”
“what?”
It was a random question.
Bae Seong-ho frowned.
“Why are you asking that?”
“Just answer me.”
“Of course it’s me. I admit that you are Hyunseong’s friend, but that doesn’t mean you have anything to prove to succeed him. “It’s not that you’re weak, but everyone will think that’s normal.”
“As expected, isn’t it?”
Kim Si-woo laughed.
It created a strange atmosphere from earlier.
“That’s the real problem. My senior will soon graduate and leave this school, but the perception that Hyunseong’s vacant position is not mine does not change. My juniors, who usually followed their seniors, would probably express their suppressed emotions at the thought of a new world opening up, rather than acknowledging me. “Someone may try to replace Hyeonseong, and someone may revive the evil habit of school violence.”
“Get to the point first.”
“Why don’t you join me?”
“This guy has been talking like shit since a while ago.”
Grumble.
widely.
Bae Seong-ho stood up.
Eyes were focused.
Bae Seong-ho, who had a huge physique, seemed to be looking down at Kim Si-woo.
“You started the argument first. know?”
It’s just a harsh word.
I didn’t rush in first.
Kim Si-woo knew the reason.
Bae Seong-ho was holding himself back at the thought that Kim Hyun-seong might get hit by touching him for no reason.
Those restrictions.
Those shackles.
Kim Si-woo himself released it.
“You don’t have to worry about any problems arising from fighting with me. No matter what happens to me, Hyunseong will never retaliate. “I promise you that.”
“okay?”
No more words were needed.
He stated his intentions.
The intention was accepted.
The moment when Bae Seong-ho immediately swings a huge fist.
stroke.
Bah!
Kim Si-woo threw his fist and punched Bae Seong-ho in the face.
Quadang!
* * *
Cheonil was noisy, unlike usual.
Whenever students gathered in small groups, they talked about Kim Si-woo.
“Wow, I heard Kim Si-woo hit senior Bae Seong-ho?”
“Bae Seong-ho? “What happened?”
“I don’t know exactly, but according to the people who were there, they said it was just development. Not only that, Kim Si-woo told the third-year seniors to come to him if they have any complaints about him over the next week. “I heard that he intends to make sure that he is the next in line after Kim Hyun-seong before he graduates.”
“omg. “Is Kim Si-woo that good?”
“therefore. Was Kim Si-woo originally this strong? “I think I was robbed by Park Jin-woo once before.”
The school was noisy.
Kim Si-woo’s actions.
It was unconventional.
As Kim Si-woo publicly announced that he would organize his ranking, third-year seniors actually visited Kim Si-woo.
Bae Seong-ho’s defeat proved Kim Si-woo’s skills.
However, it was difficult to accept the fact that Kim Si-woo, not Kim Hyun-seong, was older than the third grader, and seniors who had improved their fighting skills after conquering Daesan flocked to him. Thanks to this, Kim Si-woo fought every time he had a break. Even though my seniors flew away and my desk became a mess, my classmates and teachers did not intervene at all.
It was a tacit agreement.
No one stopped Kim Si-woo from doing this despite the fact that Kim Hyun-seong had given permission to do so.
Sigh!
The third-year senior’s head turned.
The senior gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to Kim Si-woo, but Kim Si-woo slightly let go and punched him again.
Bah!
Slurp thump.
The senior fell down.
When Kim Si-woo raised his head, he saw other seniors.
“next.”
“…You’re so fucking arrogant.”
Another senior approached me with long strides.
In fact, considering how much stamina was consumed, it was very unreasonable for the fight to proceed immediately, but the situation was not leisurely enough to consider that. The fact that they fight one on one. That alone was enough. The senior seemed to be walking slowly, but suddenly sped up and hit Kim Si-woo.
sudden.
It was a strong tackle.
Kim Si-woo’s destructive kicking power has already been proven several times, so he tried to compete somehow.
but.
It was a meaningless challenge.
Ahn Dong-yeop too.
Daemyung Hwang.
He tried to take down Kim Si-woo like that, but didn’t he already prove that it was impossible even at the professional level?
Sigh!
“Ugh.”
While approaching, he was hit in the face.
A moment of slight stumbling.
Sigh!
A one-two followed.
That was the end.
Kim Si-woo looked beyond the sight of his senior collapsing.
“next.”
* * *
A few days after that.
Siwoo Kim’s ranking continued.
At first, the 3rd graders rushed at him, but later on, the 2nd and 1st graders, who were known to fight quite a bit, challenged Kim Si-woo.
As a result.
Everyone was defeated.
A second grade friend visited Jinwoo Park and asked.
“Park Jin-woo, don’t you take on challenges? Now there’s really only you left. “In fact, no one can beat Kim Si-woo except you.”
“…why me?”
Park Jin-woo’s complexion became pale.
Actually, it’s not that I didn’t think about the challenge as the rankings began, but my thoughts completely changed after seeing Kim Si-woo deal with his seniors. At first I clearly won. There was a record of turning Kim Si-woo into a blood clot in the bathroom, but after that, Kim Si-woo became stronger than when he was robbed one-on-one.
That monster.
How do you deal with it?
Park Jin-woo laughed awkwardly.
“…Do I really need to be the best? “If there is a number one person, there is also a number two person, and I am fully satisfied with the number two person.”
“Kim Hyun-seong is number one.”
“Maybe a third person wouldn’t be bad…?”
virtually.
It was the moment when the ranking was finished.
Cheonil’s students spoke.
“This incident proved it. “Except for Kim Hyun-seong, there is no one who can deal with Kim Si-woo.”
“The real Kim Si-woo is also a bastard. “How can you think of throwing away Kim Hyun-seong’s halo and reorganizing the hierarchy on your own?”
This made it clear.
Siwoo Kim now.
He was the second-in-command of Cheonil that no one could deny.
* * *
Time passed quickly.
Also the Kim Si-woo case.
Lost in the flow of time.
The positions of Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Si-woo were once again acknowledged, but the lives of the students did not change significantly.
And finally.
Final exams, which signify the end of the year, are over.
As soon as the test papers were submitted, the students cheered.
“It’s over!”
“It’s winter break now!”
“Ahh, it’s liberation!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Confirming the correct answers to the test was also an important issue, but for now, I couldn’t hide my joy at the immediate sense of liberation. Kim Hyun-seong quietly organized the test papers among his noisy friends. For Kim Hyun-seong, winter vacation did not mean the end. Since it meant a new beginning, I first checked whether the results were satisfactory.
‘10,000 points, 10,000 points this time too.’
It was thanks to thorough study.
Thanks to the memories engraved in his mind and his persistent efforts, Kim Hyun-seong was able to not make a single mistake on a question.
With this, the board was set.
Your grades.
own existence.
It would be a disaster in Gangnam, which is sensitive to rankings.
It may not matter if you prove yourself through the CSAT, but Kim Hyun-seong was a thorn in the side of students who drew a ‘university roadmap’ based on their grades. With one person transferring, everyone’s rankings will be pushed back one level. It was clear that Kim Hyun-sung’s overwhelming performance would not leave a single exception.
It was then.
Someone approached Kim Hyun-seong.
“…Hyunseong.”
A familiar face.
It was Lee Jeong-min.
A friend who was the starting point of Kim Hyun-seong’s bullying and whose difficulties were ignored by the disciplinary committee.
He hesitated and then spoke.
“It may be shameless, but I wanted to say that I was truly grateful for the time.”
Immediately after the Kim Si-woo incident.
The rumor spread overnight.
There are rumors that Kim Hyun-seong may leave school.
Lee Jeong-min was not the only one who approached Kim Hyun-seong.
There were other friends beside Lee Jeong-min.
“I was really grateful too.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to go to school comfortably.”
It was an unexpected sight.
Eyes were focused.
A sudden thank you from friends.
This was a development that even Kim Hyun-seong could not have expected.
