Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 30

7. Kim Si-woo (3)

At first, it was curiosity.

In the confrontation between Kim Hyun-sung and Kim Si-woo, Jeong Doo-cheol first observed the situation.

That’s how sparring began.

Jeong Doo-cheol, who had been watching in silence, could not hide his shaking eyes at some point.

‘Look at this?’

Bah!

It was a powerful kick.

It was an attack aimed precisely at the timing of Kim Hyun-seong’s attack, and while his opponent was hesitant, Kim Si-woo quickly widened the distance. Now I see that he was a guy who learned sports properly. I didn’t expect much from his handsome appearance, but his strong body and explosive kicks were not something that could be created in a short time.

That wasn’t all.

As the opponent defended solidly, he induced the opponent to attack from the bottom and then unexpectedly aimed for the head.

Sigh!

Kim Hyun-seong stumbles.

It worked.

There was no particular problem with Kim Hyun-seong’s movements until just before, so this was purely a blow created by Kim Si-woo’s personal abilities.

‘Kim Hyun-seong or Kim Si-woo. Why on earth are these kids being bullied? Even if you don’t receive special instruction from me, it’s a skill that most of your classmates will understand. Besides, I’m only 17 years old. If you have a striking ability like Kim Si-woo, it’s only a matter of time before you debut as a professional even if you only have a few basic skills as a mixed martial artist.’

I like it.

damage.

It is not a skill that can be created only through effort.

Kim Si-woo is not only gifted with explosive kicking ability, but also has the sense to widen the distance and instantly dig in for a kick. This was a clear talent. While working as a UFC fighter, I encountered many talents, but there was not a single athlete who showed explosive power like Kim Si-woo at the age of 17.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Kim Si-woo had a clear weakness, and Kim Hyun-seong immediately dug into it as if he had read his thoughts.

sudden!

Quadang!

“also.”

He let out an exclamation.

Ground after kick catch.

Indiscriminate pounding after occupying the upper position.

In a situation where the striker was attacked in a standard way, Jeong Doo-cheol was confident in what he had in mind.

‘If Kim Si-woo is physically talented, Kim Hyun-seong is mentally gifted. Although it is difficult for someone with no professional experience to make a rational judgment against a striker, he did not drag the opponent into a disadvantageous striking fight and instead aimed for the opponent’s lower body. A keen sense of breaking down explosive kicks. If Kim Si-woo has the talent to succeed in the pros, someone like Kim Hyun-seong can also aim for the top spot.’

both.

It stimulated my desire to become a leader.

In fact, he sometimes imagined becoming a leader.

What if we directly nurture someone who is born with overflowing talent, unlike ourselves, who have hit the wall of reality? Then there would be no need for steroids or anything like that. Even if you don’t use shortcuts, you will be able to dominate the UFC stage, unlike yourself, who was criticized by people.

Past life too.

I met Kim Moo-yeol and faced my own desires.

However, a little earlier than in his previous life when he met Kim Mu-yeol, Jeong Doo-cheol remembered his new dream.

Finally, the sparring was over.

When he saw the two boys sprawled on the floor talking, he let out the burning desire in his heart.

“You two. Wouldn’t you just stop fighting and start working out with me? “If you just follow me, I will risk my life to send you to the UFC.”

Hyunseong Kim and Siwoo Kim.

Jeong Doo-cheol hoped that they would become his disciples.

* * *

Attention was focused.

Jeong Doo-cheol expressed his honest thoughts in response to the eyes staring at him in silence.

“Because I had a deal with Hyeonseong, I tried to avoid making such a proposal. But look at you now. You are born with a brilliant talent for mixed martial arts. “If you put your mind to it and focus on your workouts, I will do my best to help you both advance to the UFC stage and succeed.”

The more you talk.

The aspirations became clear.

My voice grew louder as I became more confident in myself.

“Hyunseong. You said it a little while ago. Fighting with the gangsters doesn’t help your life at all. Let’s drop out instead. Then you won’t have to get involved with the iljin and you’ll have more time to focus on exercising. I will take care of all your food, clothing and shelter. Even though I am buried in the domestic industry, I still have many contacts who keep in touch with me. “It’s not just a promise; I can definitely bring you to the top.”

It was a tempting offer.

But that’s it.

Kim Si-woo noticed Kim Hyun-seong’s feelings and asked Kim Hyun-seong calmly, with an expression that did not seem the least bit perturbed.

“Director, why did you start exercising?”

“It must be because you have talent. Like you, I was noticed by a teacher who taught me, and it actually matched my interest, so I decided to take this path. “If I can do it, you can do it too…”

“No. That’s why it can’t be done.”

It was a cold voice.

Kim Hyun-seong took off his blood-stained gloves and met Jeong Doo-cheol’s gaze directly.

“I’m not interested in fighting at all. Even though it’s so painful that I want to give up at every moment, I just endure it in order to survive. I feel like I will die if I don’t achieve my goal, so I struggle desperately. The director said. The management of the officials is strictly the responsibility of the director, and what I am saying is that it is an overstepping of the authority. “There is clearly a deal between us, but if you say something like that, you can’t come to the gym anymore.”

“Hyunseong….”

“So think carefully. This is not a matter of persuasion, not a matter of choice. If you have a different opinion than me, you can withdraw from the transaction and just follow the director’s path. “Don’t disturb me.”

I got out of the ring.

There was no eye contact.

Jeong Doo-cheol couldn’t bear to catch Kim Hyun-seong as he nervously left the gym.

* * *

When I came out.

Kim Hyun-seong heard the sound of footsteps hurriedly following him.

Knowing that the owner was Kim Si-woo, Kim Hyun-seong stopped and looked back.

“From now on, think carefully before answering. Are you confident that you won’t regret your choice to be with me?”

“Oh, I don’t regret it.”

A face stained with blood.

Swollen eyes.

My face was a complete mess.

But I didn’t feel guilty.

If he had just succumbed to this level of violence, he would never have accepted Kim Si-woo no matter what.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“okay. I won’t stop you. “There is one condition.”

“What?”

“The first thing is to do proper training with me. If director Jeong Doo-cheol maintains his current attitude, he will change gyms, but if not, he goes to the gym with me every day. “I will pay all the costs associated with it, and if you don’t keep up with the training even a little bit, then it’s over.”

“good. “If you have the first, tell me the second as well.”

“Secondly, only intervene in things you can handle. If it is a fight that is obviously impossible or involves a violation of the law, never get involved. “If I do that, I will somehow take you away from me.”

“That’s…”

Kim Si-woo trailed off.

Something you can handle.

It was an ambiguous boundary.

In the first place, if I had planned to do anything, I wouldn’t have followed Kim Hyun-seong, but looking at Kim Hyun-seong’s firm gaze, it didn’t seem like a negative answer would work at all. However, I had no intention of seriously accepting the second offer. If the moment comes when you need to cross the line, it is not too late to resolve the matter then.

‘Because it’s just words.’

“I will accept it. Is it over now?”

“No, there is a third and final one.”

Kim Si-woo.

It is a name that weighs heavily on my heart.

During the years I lived as a vegetative person, many names were consumed by revenge, but that name left behind a clear feeling.

Thank you.

Such a being.

A friend like that.

I didn’t want this life to be wasted.

Although he accepted it due to Kim Si-woo’s strong will, Kim Hyun-seong instead tried to use this situation to change Kim Si-woo’s future.

“Finally, Myungjin Construction will deposit your living expenses every month. receive. Don’t ask what kind of money it is or how such a thing is possible, just take it. If you refuse this offer, I will never accept you. And study. “If the day comes when I can escape this hellish reality…”

I laughed.

It was the first smile I allowed a friend to see in my life.

“I want you to live much better than others as if nothing happened.”

* * *

I returned home.

In the simple but warm home, Hyunjin, the only younger brother, was watching a game program on TV.

“What are you looking at?”

“Oh bro!”

My eyes were fixed on the TV.

His excited face proved how much he liked the program.

“This is a really important game today. If we win this game, the team I support could advance to the finals. You know it too. A game I play sometimes. Later, when you reach the finals…. Ah ah! Baker’s solo kill!”

There was an uproar.

Kim Hyun-seong hid a bitter smile as he looked alone and clenched his fists.

‘Final. Yeah, I really wanted to go to the final.’

Past life.

The team supported by Kim Hyun-jin dramatically succeeded in advancing to the finals.

Even though Hyunjin clearly wanted to intuit it, he never told Kim Hyunseong about it. He knows it too. If he were to tell his truth, Kim Hyun-sung would go to great lengths to tighten his belt.

It was a bitter reality.

Since he couldn’t buy his younger brother a home computer, let alone his favorite competition game, Kim Hyun-jin could only enjoy games ‘sometimes’. Sometimes it wasn’t a choice, it was a reality. Still, because he was a good younger brother who never showed any signs of it, I was suddenly overcome with emotion as I projected the image of my younger brother crying profusely after coming to the hospital.

Quickly.

I gritted my teeth.

I tried to look away.

“I’m watching. “I’ll cook you something.”

headed to the kitchen.

The kitchen was a space spanning a small living room, but Kim Hyun-seong prepared dinner while hiding his expression.

grandma.

Hyunjin.

Kim Si-woo.

They are precious people.

In order to prevent them from suffering because of you and to help them live a life different from their previous life, you must never become weak. Youngmin Shin and the Golden Circle. He will tear apart those who stand in his way. It was better for his hands to be stained with blood than for even one scratch on his people.

Park Min-cheol’s gang.

Jinwoo Park.

It’s only the beginning.

Kim Hyun-seong’s expression was distorted like that of a demon, and his bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to shed bloody tears at any moment.

“brother. “I also have sausage!”

“okay.”

Moment.

Kim Hyun-seong’s expression changed completely.

The moment he made eye contact with Hyunjin, he put on the mask of a good brother and smiled kindly, as if he had never done that before. There is no need to tell your younger brother the reality. In his previous life, he went to Cheonil High School and was subjected to a lot of bullying just because he was Kim Hyun-seong’s younger brother, but in this life, a different future awaits him.

Just then, I received a text message from Jeong Doo-cheol.

[I’m sorry, Hyunseong. As you said, there is a clear contract between us, but I think I got greedy in the moment and crossed the line. Let’s proceed with training again as per the contract. I will never ask you to debut as a professional again, but please remember this one thing. What I said will always be valid. If you think you want to debut as a professional athlete, I hope you can tell me honestly at any time.]

I put my phone in my pocket.

A single sentence saying that he would fulfill his contract with Jeong Doo-cheol was enough rather than the words he had been talking about.

I swallowed my anger.

I suppressed my boiling emotions.

Calmly.

Step by step.

I will make the plan I have been repeating in my head for 10 years a reality.

‘It will definitely succeed.’

A few weeks after that.

Time passed quickly.

Although there have been many big and major incidents recently, Cheonil has had quiet days since the Shin Young-min incident.

It was truly the night before the storm.

And finally.

The day of the midterm exam for the second semester of high school dawned.
