Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 36
8. When compromise is impossible (6)
Unlike hot school.
Shin Young-min was left alone in the empty classroom.
“…You crazy bastard. “You followed the second grade kids even though you clearly knew what was going on.”
I heard it from a junior.
Since Kim Hyun-seong has been fiercely rebellious from the beginning, Bae Seong-ho is leading the way and they are trying to trample on Kim Hyun-seong right now. Suddenly, the face of Bae Seong-ho, who was thrilled by his words that he would be the leader of the team, came to mind.
“Seniors! We will never disappoint you. Regardless of the means, I will tear Kim Hyun-seong to pieces and show you what happens if you get out of the sight of my senior in Cheonil. And I will also prove that Bae Seong-ho is the ‘next’ person to follow in his footsteps.”
It was trustworthy.
If he had the power to move the entire second grade class due to his strong physical strength, which is called a monster gorilla, there was no way he could not handle one Kim Hyun-seong. But strangely enough, Shin Young-min was not relieved. Seeing Kim Hyun-seong not backing down even when dealing with him, I felt like it wouldn’t end like this.
‘Kids don’t take what happened back then seriously. It’s surprising that he attacked me, but it’s true that he came out cowardly because he couldn’t handle me. The problem is the result itself. In any case, as soon as I touched Kim Hyun-seong’s friend, he left a clear result that I couldn’t move hastily. ‘I never let go and moved the teachers and made it impossible for me to do anything in 1,000 days.’
Real or ring.
It’s not just about strong kids that are scary.
Even if it wasn’t overwhelming violence, the vicious venom that inevitably produced results could never be ignored.
The same was true for Kim Hyun-seong.
Couldn’t he have expected this to be the case?
Even though he had completely suppressed his ability to act in Cheonil, he came to see him separately, talked about Myungjin Construction, and even made threats. From the beginning, it was clear that his mind was preparing for all possible scenarios. But was such a being not prepared for the danger that would come from being complacent about the result of getting a perfect score on the midterm exam?
Absolutely not.
Even if Bae Seong-ho and the entire second year were mobilized, the person trying to deal with him would not collapse like this.
Just one clash.
It was a confidence given by instinct.
Because he had accepted failure in advance, Shin Young-min was not at all embarrassed by his friend’s sudden report.
“Youngmin! We’re in big trouble! Bae Seong-ho and Kim Hyun-seong went head-to-head, but Bae Seong-ho was completely eliminated!”
“okay?”
It was as expected.
Shin Young-min looked out the window and asked in a calm voice.
“How many children were harmed by Kim Hyun-seong?”
“Uh… there were three first-year students and six second-year students, so a total of nine people were attacked by one Kim Hyeon-seong.”
“That should be enough.”
I looked at my friend.
On his face, which was stained with embarrassment, Shin Young-min showed a smile that gave him a strange sense of relief.
“Proceed as planned. No matter how much of a scumbag the principal and Kim Young-cheol are, Cheonil is a school that cannot support illegal activities. “If it were an incident where nine students from Cheonil were eliminated, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.”
I took a step back.
Not strong violence.
First, we will first destroy Kim Hyun-sung’s background.
* * *
The plan was step-by-step.
This would not have happened if Kim Hyun-seong had been defeated by second-year seniors, but Bae Seong-ho’s defeat encouraged the next step.
Cheonil’s teacher’s office.
A group of students shouted with urgent faces.
“teacher! teacher! “There’s a fight outside right now!”
“I saw it clearly. No one touched Hyeonseong, but he suddenly hit his friends, started a fight with his second year seniors, and went to the incinerator. “I don’t know what will happen if it continues like this.”
Under the tunnel.
The plan then went ahead.
Instead of Shin Young-min coming forward, he was asked to provide direct evidence that Kim Hyun-sung used violence.
Past disciplinary committee.
The expulsion of Park Min-cheol’s gang proved that Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol are looking after Kim Hyun-seong, but that doesn’t mean they can cover everything. There are hundreds of witnesses to this incident. No matter how good the background may be, the violence used while many students are watching cannot be tolerated.
“Tell the teachers what happened today. It wasn’t the 1st grade kids fighting or the 2nd grade kids fighting, but Kim Hyun-seong unilaterally used violence. If we kiss, it won’t be easy to talk about ‘legitimate defense’. Well, it doesn’t matter even if Kim Hyun-seong’s innocence is acknowledged. “It’s not a problem that will end just today. If things like today pile up, you won’t be able to handle it in the end.”
It was Shin Young-min’s order.
Wanting to impress him, the first-year junior shouted with a heated face.
“I’m telling you, if you do this, you’re going to be in big trouble. I came back to check a little while ago, and Kim Hyun-seong was beating up the second year seniors like a crazy person. “If we don’t go quickly, I don’t know how many people will end up in the emergency room like in the last incident!”
It was perfect.
If the fire is lit to this extent, the teachers who are watching Oh Dae-hwan will have no choice but to take off their heavy asses.
That was enough.
If Kim Hyun-seong is repeatedly forced into situations that cannot be ignored, he will have no choice but to stand on the stage of judgment one day. The excuse of self-defense may work once or twice, but it will not be a perfect excuse every time.
however.
Contrary to the reactions he had expected in his head, the first-year junior faced a completely different situation.
widely!
Homeroom teacher of class 8, 1st grade.
Park In-hwan nervously put down his pen.
Then he looked at his first-year junior and shouted fiercely.
“Hey you bastards. Do you think I don’t know your intentions? “There’s nothing going on in the incinerator, so stop talking nonsense and go home.”
That was the end.
Confirmation of truth?
Minimal effort?
There was nothing like that.
Park In-Hwan shouted like that and continued his work as if nothing had happened.
* * *
A few days ago.
Kim Young-cheol called the teachers together.
Kim Yeong-cheol spoke with a somewhat stern look on the faces of the teachers who did not understand the English language.
“Do you all know it’s the Golden Circle?”
“…Golden Circle?”
“Does that have anything to do with this position?”
No one.
I didn’t know about the Golden Circle.
It was a natural result.
If the Golden Circle had been a group known to local teachers, their identity would have been discovered much faster than the future Kim Hyun-seong experienced. The teachers could not hide their embarrassed expressions at Kim Young-cheol’s remarks. It was an unexpected development to mention a specific group that I had never heard of, rather than any serious matter at school.
“I will tell you briefly. There is a group called the Golden Circle in Korea. They are a vicious group that pushes students to the bottom in exchange for compensation, and after our own research, we have confirmed that this is a credible fact. Everyone must be very embarrassed. “You might think it’s irrelevant because it’s the first time you’ve heard this story, but the incident of Park Min-cheol’s gang is a representative work of the Golden Circle.”
“What does that mean…”
“Does that mean you intentionally harassed student Kim Hyun-seong?”
“you’re right.”
Moment.
The teachers felt their hearts sinking.
Teachers who find happiness in a repetitive life knew that Kim Young-cheol’s remarks would cause great upheaval.
Kim Young-cheol said.
“Everyone’s mind will be complicated. Depending on your connection to the Golden Circle, your career as a teacher may end in one fell swoop. What I can tell you is that no one in this room is free from responsibility. Not only Park Min-cheol, Yong-taek Cho, Min-ho Jeong, and Chang-seok Kang, but also Seong-ho Bae, Young-min Shin, etc. There are dozens of students already associated with the Golden Circle. “If this issue comes to the surface, not just a few teachers but the entire world may be blown away.”
It set the mood.
A whole thousand days.
It’s a problem that needs to be dealt with.
Even if there were truly unrelated people, Kim Young-cheol’s strange tone gave everyone the same sense of responsibility.
“I would like to take this opportunity to ask you something. I’m not asking you to go along with what’s going to happen. Even if the existence of the Golden Circle is revealed, you can continue to deny it until the end. Just watch what happens from now on. “Don’t pretend to be a just teacher and then leave behind a case that you intervened in the affairs of the ‘Golden Circle’, and live your normal life as you always have.”
A lot of eyes.
I felt a lot of emotions.
Kim Young-cheol knows.
Even though the emotions they feel are different, Cheonil’s teachers have fundamental similarities.
That is avoidance.
Just as Kim Hyun-seong’s case was buried in the distant future, it is absolutely unfair to those who silently maintained their positions as teachers despite Oh Dae-hwan’s corruption to make Cheonil a prestigious school. This does not mean that everyone is as much trash as Kim Yong-cheol, but the degree is different, and they were not people who could fully bear responsibility.
so.
It relieved my guilt.
I’m not telling you to agree, but to stand by and watch.
This is not a request to share the burden of sin, but rather a request to avoid looking away and ignore reality.
That’s exactly what I said.
A teacher came forward.
“I don’t know what happens next, but as a teacher…”
“Yes, yes. I know. But keep this one fact in mind. The Golden Circle’s target is Kim Hyun-seong, and we cannot guarantee how it will be viewed differently from the truth the moment it engages in any behavior that harasses him. This means that those who chose not to watch school violence out of a sense of justice may later look like trash who participated in the Golden Circle. And above all, this is Daesan. “If there is someone who opposes this incident, which even Principal Oh Dae-hwan said he would ignore, the future at Daesan cannot be guaranteed.”
Mixed with appropriate threats.
Even the teacher who came forward because he had a sense of justice had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and avoid eye contact.
The board was made.
Everyone avoided eye contact.
Kim Young-cheol laughed at their inability to handle their guilt.
“You all don’t need to take it seriously. This is actually a good thing. If scumbags don’t use school violence in the first place, the ‘future events’ I’m talking about won’t happen. “We simply do not stand by and take the side of the perpetrator.”
Conversation of that day.
It was a variable that Shin Young-min did not expect.
* * *
Things took a strange turn.
No matter how many times we sent our juniors, none of the teachers wanted to go to the incinerator where violence occurred.
‘Something is wrong.’
Shin Young-min’s expression distorted.
One or two people would have understood.
However, Shin Young-min knew that there was something in the situation where everyone, including Park In-hwan, was ignoring reality.
“You bastards of trash.”
It was certain.
Teachers’ neglect.
They chose to sit on the sidelines.
The only way for a shrimp to avoid getting caught in a whale fight is to not intervene in the whale fight in the first place.
‘Now the teachers are not trying to create an alibi for witnessing Kim Hyun-seong’s violence. If the number of victims increases, there will definitely be a problem, but the responsibility will be passed on to others, not Kim Hyun-seong.’
I bit my lip.
A feeling of disgust arose.
Shin Young-min doesn’t think he lived a clean life, but it was hard to believe that people called teachers came out like this. Still, isn’t this a school? Even if Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol are the same, the current situation in which the entire Cheonil Party agrees has incited hatred towards ‘adults’.
The clear fact is:
If things continued like this, the plan was a failure.
It was virtually impossible to maintain this plan while sending dozens of people to the disciplinary committee.
‘Children like Bae Seong-ho will remain loyal until the end, but if one or two people are truly disciplined, then there will be some wavering children. In the end, it won’t be a single drop of beans for them. The only kids who will risk their lives for me are a few frontrunners like Bae Seong-ho.’
at last.
There was no way.
If the teachers did not move as intended, Shin Young-min had to use the most reliable method.
‘Only unbearable violence can solve the problem.’
Squeak.
I got up from my seat.
Hyunseong Kim.
그 개새끼를 찢어발기기 위해 지금부터는 자신이 직접 나설 차례였다.
* * *
Shin Young-min left the classroom.
As I was going down the stairs to go to the incinerator, my cell phone suddenly rang loudly.
I tried not to take it.
Until I saw the name that appeared on the screen.
[Old man]
Stop.
I stopped walking.
Why?
The name saved as Kkondae.
At the realization that it meant his father, Shin Young-min instantly felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
