Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 18

4. Change (4)

Letting go of Kim Hyun-seong.

After the gym was closed, Jeong Doo-cheol sat on the floor and drank without any snacks.

Suddenly.

I drank it down in one go.

I had already emptied a bottle, but let alone getting drunk, I didn’t even feel drunk.

“…Doocheol. “You are the worst.”

Just now.

He was ashamed of himself.

So, to restore his pride, he pushed Kim Hyun-seong to the limit, but funny enough, he didn’t want Kim Hyun-seong to collapse. If you really fail, you won’t get 100 million won. I had really complicated feelings as I watched Kim Hyun-seong, who endured until the end in a situation where reason and emotion were in direct conflict.

Anger and relief.

It was a conflicting feeling.

Kim Hyun-seong survived with his own abilities, but in fact, if the intention was to take him down, he would not have been able to endure.

‘I guess I fooled myself. If Kim Hyun-seong exceeds the standards I set, he must have thought that he had some justification for being sold for money. I was planning on accepting the offer from the beginning.’

of course.

I was surprised by Kim Hyun-seong’s will.

So I went even harder, but I couldn’t deny the fact that I was captivated by 100 million won. As proof, the cell phone screen caught Jeong Doo-cheol’s attention. Kim Hyun-seong said he would send 100 million won by tomorrow, but barely an hour later, the amount of 100 million was stamped on his account.

[Depositor Go Chang-beom 100000000 won]

100 million.

The corners of my eyes were trembling.

People think that being a UFC champion makes a lot of money.

In reality it is different.

Due to the nature of mixed martial arts, where matches can only be held once or twice a year depending on physical condition, there was not much left after paying all the financial expenses required to prepare for a champion. Fortunately, the champions were in a better situation. Those at the lower levels received truly ridiculous amounts of fight money, and some fighters even formally protested the structure in which most martial arts organizations make money.

If only we had had a few more title matches.

Jeong Doo-cheol would not have been this poor.

Just when he was about to repay his debts and make money, a drug scandal broke out and he fell into the abyss. So the meaning of 100 million had to be special. It was an amount that could provide comfort for a few years to his wife, who calculated the household account every day and had a hard time meeting him.

I drank alcohol in succession.

Teaching Hyunseong Kim.

It’s wrong.

If people found out, they would criticize me harshly, but in fact, maybe this was actually a good thing.

‘If it weren’t for this 100 million won, I would have accepted the broker’s offer.’

a few days ago.

The broker of a new fighting group has a special offer.

They asked him to compete with the title of former UFC champion, but they forced him to use drugs to show off his skills in his prime. I seriously thought about it. Since the fight money was worth tens of millions of won, I thought that it would be okay to use drugs again if my body was dirty anyway.

It’s only difficult once.

The second time is a matter of situation.

Even though he regretted using drugs, Jeong Doo-cheol spent each day falling apart.

That’s why he may have been excessively upset by Kim Hyun-sung’s comments pointing out drugs.

In a previous life, he accepted a broker’s offer.

He competed in a new fighting group and was discovered to be using drugs again, putting an end to his career as a fighter. Kim Mu-yeol’s excavation occurred after that. Because he knew the life Jeong Doo-cheol lived, Kim Hyun-seong was able to make the suggestion without hesitation.

he is.

He was someone who would do anything for money.

Jeong Doo-cheol, who had been drinking for a while, sent a text message to the broker.

[I will pretend that the offer never occurred.]

If you have the money.

There was no reason to accept the broker’s offer.

100 million was enough.

“…This is the last derailment of my life. “After this, I will no longer be sold for money.”

Finish this job well.

I will teach my juniors in the future.

Talented juniors who can be truly loved by people who don’t follow the same path as them.

Kim Hyun-seong’s house was turned upside down.

The grandmother, who was preparing the table again while waiting for her grandson, looked like the sky was falling as soon as she saw Kim Hyun-seong’s face.

“Oh my baby. “What the hell is going on?!”

Kim Hyun-seong’s face.

It was truly a mess.

His entire face was swollen, and blood stains were visible all over his clothes.

Anticipating my grandmother’s reaction, I tried to stop by a sauna, but after checking the mirror once, I gave up. This was not something that could be hidden. Kim Hyun-seong headed straight home, and his grandmother, who was checking Kim Hyun-seong’s physical condition, shouted as if she were angry.

“That guy. What kind of child made our baby like this? Just say it. “This old woman will scold you.”

“It’s okay, Grandma.”

“It’s okay! “What’s wrong with looking like this?”

The grandmother could hardly calm down.

Kim Hyun-seong felt touched for some reason when he saw the grandmother shouting loudly for a long time.

‘…grandma.’

When I was young, I thought my grandmother was very harsh.

She was a person who never thought about what to eat or what to wear, and because it was her daily routine to tighten her belt every day, there were many times when I hated my grandmother as a child. When Kim Hyun-seong became a vegetable, the grandmother did not spare him. They admitted him to a hospital in Seoul, which they said was expensive, and did whatever it took to get treatment, even canceling his savings if necessary. It was an instant for a family that had built itself well to collapse due to just one person, Kim Hyun-seong.

My heart ached.

I can’t believe that such a lovely grandmother suffered because of me.

As her eyes turned red from tears, the grandmother took it in a different meaning.

“Why does a baby boy cry?”

at last.

The situation ended with a light slap at school.

The grandmother said she would go to the other party and overthrow him, but after Kim Hyun-seong persuaded her for over an hour, she was able to calm her anger. His younger brother, Kim Hyun-jin, goes to school until late at night. Kim Hyun-seong, who started eating with his grandmother first, spoke in a cautious voice to the grandmother who was looking at him.

“grandma. “Do you have a subscription account?”

“Of course there is. “I’ve already been putting in 100,000 won every month for over ten years.”

“I heard that Myeongjin Construction is taking subscriptions for apartments, so give it a try. You never know. “I might win.”

The grandmother’s eyes widened.

Subscription account.

I signed up for it ten years ago after a close bank employee told me about it, but I have never once thought about using it. The word was an offer, but to my grandmother, it was no different from a savings account. When my grandchildren entered college, I planned to cancel my subscription to raise money for tuition.

said the grandmother.

“…They say it will be a problem even if you win the subscription.”

“That’s what ignorant people say. These days, loans are readily available, so even if I just sell this villa, paying the balance won’t be a problem at all. “If you can’t afford it, you can sell the pre-sale rights to others.”

It was a complicated statement.

The grandmother showed a surprised expression.

“Since when did my grandson become a real estate doctor?”

“What is the doctor?”

Hyunseong Kim laughed.

This life.

He didn’t just want revenge.

I hoped that my only grandmother would live a prosperous life until the moment she closed her eyes.

I wanted to just give him 100 million like Jeong Doo-cheol, but it was clear that if I handed over a large sum of money without conditions, the grandmother would look suspiciously. The subscription is a plausible excuse. The moment you enter a subscription in your grandmother’s name, Go Chang-beom will automatically add your grandmother to the winner’s name.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“Be sure to apply. “Please don’t forget.”

I took a spoonful of soup.

Kim Hyun-seong swallowed down his emotions as he saw his grandmother’s warm gaze looking at him.

The next day.

After finishing school, Hyunseong Kim went straight to the gym.

Jeong Doo-cheol carried out training as promised and prepared a physical training program for Kim Hyun-seong, who is still a beginner.

“Whether it’s fighting or sports. Everything you do with your body must be based on physical strength. If you have the stamina to swing your fist a few times and be out of breath, there is no point in teaching anything. Hyunseong Kim. If you are that desperate, hold on tenaciously from now on. “If you fail along the way, I won’t teach you any more.”

Jeong Doo-cheol’s remarks.

It was the moment when the gates of hell opened.

Although he lowered his standards to match Kim Hyun-sung’s level, the physical training program he prepared was for professional athletes. Starting with light rope jumping, Kim Hyun-seong was pushed through various exercises such as stepping, treadmill, and dumbbell exercises. Since it was the first day, it was easy to do things roughly, but Jeong Doo-cheol spoke firmly.

“Two hours a day. “Hold on for just two hours.”

It was two hours, but it was truly endless hell.

Kim Hyun-seong is also good at exercising.

So even Kim Hyun-seong, who was called an all-rounder at school and always came in first place in physical education, started to exude sweetness as soon as he started exercising. My head was spinning. Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes were stained with venom as the situation was pushed to the limit even more than when he fought with Park Min-cheol’s gang.

I had to do it.

Youngmin Shin.

To him who has trained in mixed martial arts for many years, he would be nothing, and if he could not withstand even the occasional physical training, he would not be able to win against Shin Young-min. Moreover, Shin Young-min is not the final target. For Kim Hyun-seong, who had to go beyond 1,000 days and enter Gangnam, this moment of taking his first step was very important.

Preparing to become stronger.

No matter how good the background was, whether it was Go Chang-beom or Kim Young-cheol, it was meaningless if they were defeated.

supported by evil

Just as he did not give up until the end even after being beaten by Jeong Doo-cheol, Kim Hyun-seong did not express the slightest dissatisfaction even though sweat poured down like rain. Jeong Doo-cheol is the one who created Kim Mu-yeol. Thinking that there must be a reason for his teachings, I forcibly held on to my stumbling body and carried out the training.

In the distant future.

Jeong Doo-cheol may pay a price for teaching him.

If there is a rumor that Jeong Doo-cheol taught him to commit more than just school violence, he will be criticized by those around him like the drug incident. But I didn’t care about those things at all. If it weren’t for him, Jeong Doo-cheol would have turned to drugs again, and 100 million won was enough to compensate for the problems he caused.

Just there.

I was thinking of getting only what I could get.

Kim Hyun-seong did not have enough human emotions left in this life to care about other people’s lives.

* * *

First training.

Jeong Doo-cheol looked at Kim Hyun-seong and showed a look of surprise.

‘You’re going to last the whole two hours?’

Although he spoke strongly, I actually thought that Kim Hyun-seong would collapse in less than an hour.

however.

Kim Hyun-seong held on until the end.

Even though he was breathing heavily, he ran to the bathroom and vomited out everything in his stomach. He returned with a pale complexion and said that he would train again. It certainly seemed like Kim Hyun-seong had a reason to become stronger. And those scenes strongly stimulated Jeong Doo-cheol’s heart.

‘He definitely has talent. If you have this level of mental strength, you will be able to succeed even if you debut as a professional player.’

I was jealous.

If you came in as a regular disciple.

Kim Hyun-sung must have seriously envisioned his future as a professional player.

However, since the relationship was a transaction, I had no intention of influencing Kim Hyun-seong with foolish thoughts.

‘I’ll give you exactly what I received. At school they make sure no one your age can touch you.’

The path to becoming a leader.

He dreamed of a new future.

That’s why I opened a gym and was creating a training program using my recent experience working in active duty. It was a markedly different approach from other leaders. While most leaders talk about standard methods, Jeong Doo-cheol went through all sorts of experiences, even those that were not one-sided.

Athletes who use drugs.

Destructive methods that will bring even such druggies to their knees.

Even though he got dirty because he stepped into muddy water, Jeong Doo-cheol was able to create a new territory.

Past life.

Three years later, Jeong Doo-cheol met Kim Mu-yeol.

He taught him how to become stronger without using drugs, and with his teachings filled with regret, Kim Moo-yeol proudly became UFC champion in a fair and fair manner. Kim Moo-yeol told the media. He said that he was lucky to have met Jeong Doo-cheol and that thanks to him, he was able to become stronger without using shortcuts.

It was still the same now.

The training method that made Kim Mu-yeol stronger.

‘One year. I will bring you up to the level you want within one year.’

This was being applied to Kim Hyun-seong, a high school student, three years early.
