Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 89
19. Conquest of Daesan (1)
Near Cheonil High School.
As soon as you leave the alley, you will see the main entrance of the school, where students are gathered in small groups and smoking cigarettes.
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumor?”
“One of my second-year seniors at Cheonil High School is Kim Hyun-seong. They say he’s really tough? You know Shin Young-min from Thousand Days, right? “He is a senior known around the neighborhood for being good at fighting, but when Kim Hyun-seong was a freshman, he beat up Shin Young-min in front of everyone.”
“omg? Shin Young-min? “Didn’t you say he went to juvenile detention?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
I didn’t know who Kim Hyun-seong was, but I definitely knew Shin Young-min’s name.
There was a time when Cheon-il got into a fight with nearby high school students, and Shin Young-min gained great fame by single-handedly wiping out five of them. So, when asked who the ‘best Daesan’ is, Shin Young-min’s name was always mentioned. The high school students in Daesan, whose hearts were boiling with excitement, tried to stage a large-scale fight to determine who was clearly superior or inferior, but only rumors abounded and nothing actually happened.
One thing is certain.
Shin Young-min was the strongest candidate to win.
The fighting record he has accumulated so far in his mixed martial arts career is enough to praise his name.
I squat down and smoke a cigarette.
A student named Jang Hyuk-jin said.
“Viewungsin. Do you believe all those rumors? The rumor is that that bastard named Kim Hyun-seong robbed the entire second year and even captured Shin Young-min. There’s no way that’s possible. It is true that Shin Young-min was expelled from school and went to a juvenile detention center, but the rumor that Kim Hyun-seong dumped Shin Young-min is clearly wrong. Have any of you seen Shin Young-min fight in person?”
“…no.”
“I’ve never seen it before.”
“So you’re just spouting that kind of bullshit. Shin Young-min is really crazy. One person goes down with each punch he throws, and I’ve never seen anyone fight better than that bastard in my life. “I’m not preparing to become a mixed martial artist for nothing.”
I sucked on a cigarette.
Jang Hyuk-jin had been a very playful student since middle school, and he knew well the fear of Shin Young-min.
Hyunseong Kim?
I heard it through rumors.
However, each and every rumor was so nonsense that no matter how many people around me talked about it, I did not accept it at all. Isn’t the behavior so far unreasonable? If it was an area that was difficult to understand, there was usually a high probability that it was false. Jang Hyuk-jin was convinced that the rumors related to Kim Hyun-sung had been created.
“That bastard obviously…”
“Turn off the lights.”
Right behind you.
An unfamiliar voice was heard.
Only then did Jang Hyuk-jin realize that his friends’ eyes were on him.
“what?”
I turned my head.
When I squatted down and looked up, I saw a student with a stronger physique than I expected looking down at me with a grave expression. I felt a little scared. His bulging physique seemed unusual, and judging by the school uniform he was wearing, it was clear that he was a Cheonil student. For a moment, my mind became confused. While contemplating what to do, I threw down my cigarette and got up to have a chat.
It was then.
“I’m sorry, senior.”
“Hey, stop.”
My friends hastily stopped me.
When Jang Hyuk-jin looked back in embarrassment, his friend lowered his voice while pulling on his clothes.
“Stop it, you idiot. “Look at the name tag.”
In those words.
I checked the name tag belatedly.
At that moment, Jang Hyuk-jin’s expression quickly hardened.
[Kim Hyun-seong]
Jang Hyuk-jin lowered his gaze without realizing it at the name clearly engraved on the name tag.
* * *
The first day was uneventful.
After holding a brief opening ceremony, Kim Hyun-seong immediately called in all the students who were in the 2nd and 3rd grades.
School rooftop.
Students appeared one by one.
Bae Seong-ho led the group up to the rooftop and looked embarrassed when he saw Kim Hyun-seong.
“Is that Kim Hyun-seong?”
“That’s true, but…”
Everyone was taken aback.
It had to be that way.
The Kim Hyun-seong they remember didn’t look like he was very good at fighting, but now he has become much more muscular than before the vacation. I felt an eerie feeling for a moment. It was hard to imagine what had happened to Kim Hyun-seong, who showed destructive behavior even when his muscles were dry.
One thing is certain.
It was clear that he had become stronger.
Even without revealing anything in particular, the force emanating from the school uniform far surpassed that of before.
Everyone gathered.
When the kids who wanted to fight at Cheonil gathered together, Kim Hyun-seong opened his mouth.
“The reason I called you is to tell you my future plans. I heard that in the past, an attempt was made to create a place where high school students from Daesan could compete for ranking, but it fell through after discussion. When I looked into it more closely, I found out that they had made some kind of deal among themselves. It’s a deal meant to do well and live well in each other’s areas, rather than lowering each other’s prestige by sticking together for no reason. In this way, Shin Young-min reigned as king in Cheonil and enjoyed his power by regularly collecting money from children and using violence.”
It was a famous story.
Shin Young-min of Thousand Days.
There are people like him in every school.
This does not mean that all schools in Daesan are like this, but the ‘heads’ who occupied a school, such as Shin Young-min, were extremely reluctant to invade each other’s territory. Think about it. Being the best of a school is the greatest power one can enjoy while a minor. But there was no reason to make a big deal out of it.
More than anything.
It was important that the odds of victory could not be guaranteed.
Shin Young-min is a very strong person, but the heads of other schools also generally have the power to rise to that position.
So we respected each other.
He didn’t bother to bother the schools that had heads like Shin Young-min, but he harassed the students in schools that didn’t. There was no setback anyway. Perhaps for that reason, since Shin Young-min left school, there have been rumors that whether he was expelled or graduated, the 100 days after Shin Young-min disappeared would be nothing special.
“As you all know, I hate scoundrels like Shin Young-min. So, we cleaned up the inside of Cheonil and put in place a system to at least prevent unjust violence from happening at Cheonil. “I plan to expand the scope from now on.”
“No way…”
“Yes.”
Seongho Bae made eye contact.
I spoke in a clear voice to him who was stained with embarrassment.
“I plan to close all schools in Daesan within the next six months. “So that it becomes the same as the current Cheonil.”
* * *
This was a declaration of war.
A reckless and dangerous plan to attack and conquer all the high schools in Daesan without any justification.
Seongho Bae said.
“…Hyunseong. I support you unconditionally, but this is definitely not an issue to take lightly. Do you know why Shin Young-min didn’t touch other schools even though he was classified as an overwhelming powerhouse at Cheonil? That’s because there are heads there who are similar to Shin Young-min and maybe even stronger. That’s why they each created their own ‘kingdom’ and didn’t touch each other’s territory, but if you take the initiative and mess with them, the situation becomes serious. “Regardless of the school-to-school fight, they might all attack us who started the fight first.”
“If they attack us all together. “What happens to us?”
“That means you won’t be able to walk around downtown Daesan wearing a school uniform for 1,000 days. The reason the kids don’t get ripped off by kids from other schools is because Shin Young-min exists. Of course, you have proven that you are stronger than Shin Young-min, but it is not a matter of judging based on strength alone. Shin Young-min was strong but knew how to keep a reasonable line between himself and other schools. That is why other schools did not bother to touch Shin Young-min’s 1,000 days.”
really.
It was a fun story.
It’s just that high school students and minors are the cause, power, and such things.
Kim Hyun-seong researched the composition of Daesan and discovered something.
Current culture.
So, there has been the practice of distinguishing between factions for a long time, and in the 80s and 90s, groups called circles were created and linked to organized crime groups. But the current phenomenon was not that simple. Rather than the hot-blooded kids playing gangsters, the students who knew the existence of the Golden Circle secretly formed such a system.
It was a kind of imitation.
We form forces with each other and maintain appropriate lines.
That way, we can give and receive help when we need it.
When I think about it now, it was truly amazing that the identity of the Golden Circle was revealed years later.
Just as Shin Young-min was active as a mercenary, such a case clearly existed in Daesan.
Even though such people knew about the existence of the Golden Circle and formed such a force, the existence of the Golden Circle was never revealed to the surface. Even if it was revealed accurately, it did not become an event at all. I was blind and deaf. Power made something that clearly existed as if it did not exist.
system so far.
It will change.
He will completely remove the shadow of the Golden Circle from the Great Mountains and build an empire that is not his own kingdom.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“I will definitely uproot the trash from Daesan. Of course, I have no intention of asking you to follow me unconditionally. You will need a clear reason to go along with ‘my purpose’, which has no benefit to you. If I just say I’m scared, it wouldn’t be sincere. Five hundred per school. I’ll give you five hundred. “We will divide it up among ourselves and give a separate bag to the person who contributed greatly to destroying each school.”
Money in hundreds.
Everyone’s eyes changed.
Like Pavlov’s dogs, they were getting used to some kind of deal.
Hyunseong Kim laughed.
“how is it? “Isn’t it worth it?”
* * *
Unlike the special conversation that took place on the first day of school.
Time passed without much difference.
It’s already been 15 days since I got away from the freedom of vacation, got used to classes, and made new friends.
Cheonil’s 1st grade class.
In the classroom that Hyunseong Kim had left, a student tapped his friend.
“hey.”
Sigh!
I hit my head.
When my friend, who had been sleeping on his stomach, lifted his head while clutching the back of his head, a student named Jang Hyuk-jin grinned.
“Are you sleepy? why? “Did you watch any porn yesterday?”
“Why when…”
Bah!
bang!
My face hit the desk.
Jang Hyuk-jin’s expression distorted as he looked at the figure groaning in pain.
“Fuck, that bastard’s eyes have been so unlucky since yesterday. hey. If it’s like X, hold on to it once. Can you hit me a little? Are you confident?”
I couldn’t resist any longer.
While the friend who was just beaten was just an ordinary student who was far from fighting, Jang Hyuk-jin had been quite famous in the neighborhood since middle school. Now that he has entered high school. He looked for prey to solidify his ranking. In addition to the friend who just got hit on the head, there were several friends who got hit by him because they were mistaken.
Early in the semester.
It was a familiar phenomenon.
Who is stronger, who can withstand being bullied, and who can take bullying for granted?
It was time for that hierarchy to be sorted out.
Over the past few days, Jang Hyuk-jin has actually beaten down friends who resisted his verbal abuse, and his ranking is gradually completing. 1st grade predator. That was the way I was looking at him now. Even though I openly argued with my friend and hit him on the head, the students in Class 1 just watched and did not say anything.
‘You idiots’
laughed.
Daesan was narrow.
As expected, it was at the same level as a small bowl, so Jang Hyuk-jin thought that he could easily eat a first-year grade.
It was then.
Grumble.
widely.
The door opened.
Jang Hyuk-jin turned his head for a moment and his expression hardened when he saw an unexpected person.
It was Kim Hyun-seong.
Bae Seong-ho’s group appeared, led by him, and Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes scanned the inside of the class and suddenly walked in the direction of Jang Hyuk-jin.
Stand tall.
“Are you Jang Hyuk-jin?”
I looked closely.
I still couldn’t believe Kim Hyun-sung’s achievements.
But after that.
‘Monster gorilla Bae Seong-ho.’
He was a famous senior.
Even if he wasn’t as good as Shin Young-min, I had heard how good Bae Seong-ho was at fighting.
The atmosphere was strange.
So I’m going to answer obediently.
“That’s right.”
Hyunseong Kim suddenly spoke.
At the same time.
Bah!
“evil!”
Quadang!
Kim Hyun-seong just kicked Jang Hyuk-jin in the abdomen.
