Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 51
11. Cheolongseong (鐵甕城) (3)
Outside the school.
Bae Seong-ho lingered in front of the school gate.
After school, the students who came out in groups of twos and threes looked at Bae Seong-ho and avoided their gaze. Even if he lost to Kim Hyun-seong, the monster gorilla’s reputation will not go anywhere. Bae Seong-ho was still avoided by students because problems could arise if they started a fight for no reason.
Apart from that atmosphere.
Bae Seong-ho was still not convinced.
Regardless of whether Kim Hyun-seong would accept him, he was afraid of the person named Kim Hyun-seong himself.
‘They say senior Shin Young-min’s incident and Kim Hyun-sung have nothing to do with it, but it’s definitely related to Kim Hyun-sung.’
Before the incident.
Hyunseong Kim visited the third grade classroom.
He said that he would take responsibility even if he harassed Shin Young-min, and after that, Shin Young-min suddenly attacked Park Min-cheol’s gang and was stabbed. Bae Seong-ho was not stupid enough to accept the incident as is. Shin Young-min was bullied silently and he bullied Park Min-cheol’s gang to the point of pushing them into a corner.
It only made sense if the premise of Kim Hyun-seong was established.
I felt truly afraid.
Even though he ascended to the Thousand Days’ Throne by defeating Shin Young-min, didn’t he stubbornly end one person’s life?
And yet.
‘I can’t give up this opportunity. The reason Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol, who are famous for being snobs, are devoted to Kim Hyun-seong is because they received that much from him. Kim Hyun-sung is clearly not a clean person, but someone who gives sufficient compensation depending on how much he does for himself. Otherwise, the rumor that Choksae said that there was no smoke in the chimney would not have just come out.’
18 years old.
Ordinary students are at an age where they focus on their studies and dream of a normal future, but Bae Seong-ho did not exist in the normal range to the point where he was loyal to Shin Young-min. A world of darkness that can be easily seen through internet media. Because I always longed for that world, I had a reckless dream of living as a broker in the Golden Circle.
It is now a shattered dream.
In this situation where he had to draw up a new future, he had nothing to offer but his body, so he had to do something.
Just then, a familiar face appeared from a distance.
Bae Seong-ho, who instinctively turned his head to avoid gaze, gritted his teeth and turned his head again.
I made up my mind.
He took a step forward and blocked Kim Hyun-seong’s path.
“…Hyunseong. “I have something to tell you, but can you give me some time?”
Cautious tone of voice.
A very shrunken face.
Kim Hyun-seong stared at Bae Seong-ho.
It felt like an eon for Bae Seong-ho, and Kim Hyun-seong walked past Bae Seong-ho and blurted out something.
“Follow me.”
In those words.
Bae Seong-ho hurriedly followed Kim Hyun-seong.
* * *
It was an alley.
Bae Seong-ho spoke carefully in a place where people could not see.
“…First of all, let me apologize for the past. Actually, I didn’t have any hard feelings toward you, but senior Shin Young-min. No, I couldn’t help it because the dog told me to attack you. You know it well. Shin Young-min was called the devil senior on Thousand Days. “I did that because I didn’t know what would happen if I rebelled.”
“I understand, so get to the point first.”
“okay.”
Kim Hyun-seong’s reaction was calm.
Bae Seong-ho took a breath and poured out his thoughts in response to an unpredictable reaction.
“I heard a rumor. If you are really planning to organize the surrounding schools starting from the 1000th anniversary, would you be able to accept me? This situation must be absolutely absurd to you. Not long ago, they were fighting to the death, so it must be strange for them to come in with their heads down like this. Just to be honest, I need money. Although I had no particular use for it, the reason I followed Shin Young-min around the fighting world was because I wanted to make money. So, if your goal is to need ‘a boy who listens well but is also good at fighting’, how about me? “I am confident that I will never disappoint you.”
We made eye contact.
Seongho Bae felt suffocated.
Just like when he spoke earlier, Kim Hyun-seong seemed to be contemplating his reaction while sparing his words as much as possible.
A moment of silence.
As Bae Seong-ho waited impatiently for action, Kim Hyun-seong finally opened his mouth.
“I want to ask you something. They say you came up with Shin Young-min’s plan. “Is that true?”
My heart sank.
Hyunseong Kim’s words.
It was true.
When Shin Young-min called his juniors to the bridge, Bae Seong-ho announced his plan to bring down Kim Hyun-seong out of loyalty to Shin Young-min. It wasn’t a bad plan in its own way. If things had gone according to common sense, no matter how much Cheonil High School looked after Kim Hyun-seong, it would not have been able to prevent all the problems.
I was sweating profusely.
Despite his appearance as a monster gorilla, Bae Seong-ho’s head turned quite a bit.
As I came up with the plan, I was still weighing in my head whether telling the truth was really the right thing to do.
‘You can’t lie.’
Kim Hyun-seong’s question is:
It means that you heard the truth somewhere.
First of all, I said I would become an obedient person, but I couldn’t lie from the beginning.
“…that’s right. “I planned it.”
“That’s fun. If the plan went according to plan, you, the leader of the vanguard, would definitely have been disciplined. Does this mean you have the confidence to handle such a situation? You know. “It wouldn’t have just ended like it did with Park Min-cheol’s gang.”
“At that time, I thought it was more beneficial. “If I prove it with results, I will gain Shin Young-min’s trust.”
It was as expected.
Bae Seong-ho was more attractive than I thought.
There is no change in the fact that the fundamentals are trash, but he still had the ability to accurately understand the situation and take action. Even if you were punished by the disciplinary committee. If he had been able to destroy himself according to his plan, Bae Seong-ho would have definitely achieved what he wanted by receiving a recruitment offer from Golden Circle.
Kim Hyun-seong lives a new life.
We wanted to meet three conditions.
The first is your own power, the second is the force that will deal with the Golden Circle, and the third is the background that will alleviate the problem.
My own strength came from sweating blood every day at Jeong Doo-cheol’s gym, and I was preparing the background to ease the problem to some extent through Go Chang-beom. In that case, from now on, we had to have the power to deal with the Golden Circle. And inevitably, that force cannot be made up of only people like Kim Si-woo who are approached with favor.
Think about it.
school violence.
Why on earth would students with a normal mindset participate in the plan to wipe out the rebels?
Either yourself or Kim Si-woo.
Or Bae Seong-ho, who lived like trash to begin with.
This was only possible when one screw fell out.
In the process of forming a force, what is important is not how trash the opponent is, but what they can do for your plan. The first thing to consider was whether it was worth utilizing.
Bae Seong-ho looks nervous.
It did not fit with its reputation as a monster gorilla.
Although his massive physique was reminiscent of a wild beast, he was a controllable figure, just like he followed Shin Young-min.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“I am willing to accept you. “But only if you pass the test I give you.”
* * *
The location has changed.
It was Jeong Doo-cheol’s gym.
While Jeong Doo-cheol was away for a moment, Kim Hyun-seong threw a glove to Bae Seong-ho, who came into the ring.
Tuk.
“Hold on.”
“Why is this… Ah, I understand.”
I hastily put on my gloves.
Kim Hyun-seong also put on his familiar gloves and took long strides toward Bae Seong-ho.
“I really hate trash like you. However, if I accept you, there is one condition that is absolutely necessary.”
“What is that….”
Bah!
got his face blown off.
Bae Seong-ho turned his head before answering and raised his guard with a puzzled look on his face.
Bah!
Knock knock knock!
The fist continued to explode.
Bae Seong-ho, who had not yet grasped the situation, heard Kim Hyun-seong’s voice.
“A dog that listens well. No matter what I tell them to do, they beat me one-sidedly like this. A dog that follows unconditionally without showing the slightest question. “A dog that sticks out its tongue at the reward I give it and wags its tail even when I pick up the stick.”
Bah!
“Wow.”
A fist dug into my abdomen.
Bae Seong-ho opened his eyes and gritted his teeth, but did not think of confronting Kim Hyun-seong.
Hyunseong Kim’s words.
It was blatant.
It meant holding on.
Even if it is violence without reason.
He told himself, the owner, to accept it by wagging his tail.
“I guess the reason you came to see me is because you heard rumors about the scholarship. I know that? “That’s a rumor I started.”
Bah!
“And it’s true. Unlike Shin Young-min, I can give you enough money right now. “Just like Kim Si-woo received a scholarship just because he was my friend, you can do the same.”
sudden.
Bah!
A knee kick hit my face.
Bae Seong-ho’s face was thrown back and blood was splattered, but Bae Seong-ho still did not resist.
“But those damn bastards who show their bullish tendencies in front of me.”
Sigh.
I grabbed my head.
He kept his face fixed and continued to throw punches.
Knock knock knock!
“It’s completely unacceptable. So you have to act like a gentle dog at school. Like a vicious dog that only bites those I designate. Like a vicious dog that is calm at home but shows its fierce teeth outside. I have a willingness to compensate for such a dog. “A reward that would make me have no choice but to wag my tail.”
Bah!
Bae Seong-ho stumbled.
The will has been sufficiently proven.
Bae Seong-ho now showed the qualities of being a dog by lowering his guard and taking the hit.
dump.
Bae Seong-ho collapsed.
He was sprawled on the floor, gasping for breath, and his face was so messed up that he could no longer see his previous appearance.
Up there.
Drop, drop.
Blood flowed.
Seeing the blood on his gloves, Kim Hyun-seong took off his gloves and squatted down in front of Bae Seong-ho.
And then.
I
grabbed his hair and pulled it up.
The blood stuck to the floor came up along with his face, but Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes did not waver at all.
He smiled softly.
Even as time passes.
It was a smile Bae Seong-ho would never forget.
“How can you do it?”
* * *
That evening.
Jinwoo Park suddenly received a call.
I only knew it was Bae Seong-ho’s order, but when he arrived at the tunnel, he reacted in confusion.
‘Why are there also third-year seniors?’
This set.
Bae Seong-ho took the lead.
Then, of course, seniors above their grade should not be included, but even third-year seniors gathered in groups and expressed dissatisfaction. Naturally, they couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Even though Shin Young-min entered the juvenile detention center, the young junior called them unilaterally.
“Why the fuck are you telling us to come or go?”
“You’re climbing up because Youngmin isn’t here.”
“It’s better. “Let’s put Kim Hyun-seong out of the question and establish discipline for Bae Seong-ho and the kids today.”
The atmosphere became harsh.
The first and second graders could not bear to open their mouths and waited anxiously for Bae Seong-ho to arrive.
That’s 10 minutes.
I heard footsteps from afar.
“come.”
“Baeseong… huh?”
“Why is his face like that?”
Led by Bae Seong-ho.
The second-year powerful people walked to the tunnel bridge.
It was still an expected situation, but Bae Seong-ho’s face had changed so horribly that he was unrecognizable. His face was clearly normal until he left school. If so, something happened after school, and even the third-year seniors were so embarrassed that they couldn’t tell what was going on.
Stand tall.
Bae Seong-ho stopped walking.
Shin Young-min stood where he always spoke and spoke to the many eyes looking at him.
“I’ll just say it once. “You third graders, listen carefully too.”
“Are you in third grade? “You damn…”
The third grader’s reaction was ignored.
No matter what he said, Bae Seong-ho continued talking.
“I decided to follow Kim Hyun-seong from today. So, what I am saying is that there will no longer be a middle ground at Cheonil High School. Whether you follow Kim Hyun-sung or not. “There will only be two types of kids who play around a little. So those who won’t follow, raise your hand right now.”
It was a shocking development.
Before I could even accept the situation.
“Because I will kill them all right here and now.”
Bae Seong-ho showed a youthful expression.
