School of Evil - School of Evil Chapter 3

At that moment.

Contrary to the class being over, Park Mincheol’s group, also known as the gang, had not yet left the classroom.

“Everyone, remember. What was taught today will be in the upcoming  midterms-.”

It was the Korean teacher known as Park Chan-hoo.

Once the teacher started talking, there was no end in sight, and even though the bell rang, he continued to speak. As a member of Park Min-cheol’s crew, they couldn’t help but feel burned inside. As soon as the class was over, he planned to trample on Kim Hyunsung, but when the class didn’t end, he became irritated.

“That guy is freaking annoying.”

“I know, right? It’ll be great if their class ends earlier too, right?”

The back of the classroom.

Park Min-cheol’s group grumbled.

Jung Min-ho glanced at the clock on the classroom wall and remembered Kim Hyun-sung’s appearance.

“By the way, Kim Hyunsung, is he on drugs or something? He looks as if he’s lost it. I thought it would be solved easily. Has that story started to spread around?”

“There’s no way..”

Cho Yong-taek shook his head.

Park Min-cheol and Kim Hyun-sung’s dispute.

It wasn’t a coincidence.

It was true that Kim Hyun-sung had challenged Park Min-cheol, but in the first place, Park Min-cheol’s group had intended to use Park Min-cheol to crush Kim Hyun-sung. However, Kim Hyun-sung’s reaction was not what they expected. It’s normal to be crushed by a head of snow, but when Kang Chang-seok approached him, he didn’t back down at all.

Unexpected.

The calculation was messed up.

Jung Min-ho had a fierce look in his eyes as he recalled the incident with Kim Hyun-sung.

“Whatever the reason is, he disrespected us in front of everyone, and if we let that kind of attitude continue, the other kids will disrespect us, too, so let’s just crush him once and for all, no matter what he asks for. Let’s make sure Kim Hyunsung never looks at us with that cocky attitude again.”

“Of course, that motherf*cker, I’ll kill him.”

It was Kang Chang-seok.

He had almost bumped into him once, and now his head was filled with thoughts of crushing Kim Hyunsung.

Even boring classes have an end.

“So with this I’ll end today’s class.”

There was no rush.

As the Korean teacher walked out, Park Min-cheol’s group stood up from their chairs with a leisurely pace.

“Let’s go.”

There was nowhere to run.

School is a limited space.

In order to fulfill his duties as a student, Kim Hyunsung would not be able to escape.

Park Min-cheol’s group was in class 8.

Kim Hyunsung was in class 1.

As they walked slowly down the street, Jung Min-ho’s gaze caught sight of a group of students gathered around class 1. An ominous feeling came over him. A thought flashed through his mind that Park Min-cheol might be in danger, and Jung Min-ho’s face twisted into a grimace.

“F*cking a$shole!”

“Run!”

They run.

The moment they reached class 1, Park Min-cheol’s group could only freeze at the sight before them.

“You’re late.”

Hyunsung blinked.

Park Min-cheol was covered in blood, and Kim Hyun-sung was holding him down.

* * *

There was nothing more to say.

Before he had time to assess the situation, a furious Kang Chang-seok burst into the room.

“You son of a b*tch.”

Tadadak.

It was fast.

The sight of the big man charging at him brought back familiar memories in Kim Hyunsung’s mind.

The last ten years.

Countless times he’d taken virtual revenge while in a vegetative state.

Park Min-cheol had never been the problem.

The problem was Kang Chang-seok.

No matter how he tried to take him down, there was no way he and his gang, led by Kang Chang-seok, could handle him. Kim Hyun-sung might be a good fighter, but he wasn’t good enough to overcome one-on-one. If he was that strong, he wouldn’t have been bullied by Park’s gang for three years.

So.

What the hell to do.

After failing countless times, Kim Hyun-sung came up with a plan that his past self wouldn’t have done.

It was simple.

Click.

Bam.

“Crack!”

Kang Chang-seok screamed.

Just as he was about to lunge and pounce on Kim Hyun-sung, Kim Hyun-sung grabbed one of the locks he had already identified from his locker and slammed the metal part into his head. It didn’t matter to him at all. Kim Hyun-sung would stop at nothing to get his revenge, and as soon as he saw Kang Chang-seok stagger, he grabbed him by the hair and slammed the padlock into his head.

Bam.

Bam, bam, bam.

Twist.

His eyes rolled back in his head.

Even though Kang Chang-seok had been exercising, there was no way he could stand against a hard iron.

And then.

He grabbed him by the hair and pulled him down, delivering a kick to the face.

Blood splashed, and Kang Chang-seok’s huge body fell babackwardand the two men who were about to charge after him felt their bodies freeze for a moment. In reality, it was only a moment. With Kang Chang-seok so quickly subdued, Kim Hyun-seong didn’t even have time to react.

‘This is my only chance.

His target was Choi Soo-taek.

By the time the diminutive fighter realized what was happening, Kim’s tackle had slammed into him.

‘If you put your weight on him, he can’t hold on. And there’s a school hallway behind him. Once he’s on the ground, he’ll never be able to react to a follow-up attack.

Puck.

It was a thoroughly calculated move.

Replaying the revenge scenario over and over again in his head, Kim Hyun-sung figured out the best way to deal with Park Min-cheol’s gang. As expected, Choi Jong-taek was stunned on the ground. While he was mocking, Kim Hyun-sung punched him indiscriminately in the face. He flailed his hands in an attempt to fight back, but Kim held him in a mount position and pummeled him to death.

Jung Min-ho?

He didn’t care.

Whether he came after him or not, he had to finish off Kang Chang-seok first, and then Cho Myeong-taek.

He had to.

Not outnumbered.

Kim Hyun-sung’s eyes were red, and he didn’t stop punching even as Cho Myeong-taek’s resistance waned.

Pow!

Puck, puck, puck!

Blood splashed.

His hands were stained with blood.

When his opponent could no longer resist, Kim Hyun-sung raised his fist and let out a ragged breath.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”

It was physically exhausting.

He had prepared for the fight thoroughly in his head, but his body, a high school freshman, couldn’t handle the intense moments. But he couldn’t stop now. Kim stood up and looked behind him, forcing down the breath that was building up under his chin.

Not yet.

There was one more.

When he looked back, he saw Jung Min-ho’s face streaked with panic, and the other students who had gathered behind him like a backdrop.

* * *

Jung Min-ho was horrified.

His pupils were shaking violently, and he couldn’t accept the fact that his friends had left in an instant.

‘……Kim Hyun-sung is this strong?’

High school.

It may seem like a schoolyard joke to adults, but the boys who first enroll in the school play against each other to organize the hierarchy. Kim Hyun-sung was included in this process. The sincere and good-natured Kim Hyun-sung got into a few fights with the other students, but he proved himself and moved away from the bullies.

However.

It was never this bad.

It should be impossible to subdue a single Kang Chang-seok, but Kim Hyun-sung was like a demon.

“Mmph, mmph.”

He let out a hiccup.

He was surprised.

When Kim stood up and looked at him, he wanted to run away.

‘I’ll never win.’

A chain of events.

This was a monster.

Kim Hyun-sung slammed the lock on Kang Chang-seok’s head without hesitation, and if that wasn’t enough, he continued to beat him until he passed out on the floor. He didn’t stop there. At the thought that he might end up in the same situation as his friends, Jung Min-ho, who was a good fighter in his own right, completely lost it.

“We should get to the end of this, right Minho?”

Kim Hyun-sung approached.

At the sight of his friends’ blood, Jung Min-ho positioned himself to fight, but his face was filled with fear.

It was a close call.

It was then.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing over there?!”

The voice was ferocious.

A large man broke through the crowd.

Hearing the commotion, Kim Young-chul, the teacher of class 1, rushed in.

* * *

In fact, it was a natural result.

It was not in the classroom, but in the hallway, so even the teachers couldn’t help but hear it.

Pandemonium ensued.

The school was turned upside down.

This was a huge incident.

This was no ordinary school violence, and three students were left covered in blood because of Kim Hyun-sung.

Kim Young-cheol, who had taken the victims to the hospital, had a harsh look on his face when he saw Kim Hyun-sung.

“Hey, Kim Hyun-sung. Are you crazy? There’s limits to how far you can go when you scuffle with other kids. Those students got onto ambulances with bloodied faces. This won’t end at the school level. Over the past decades I’ve been in the school, It’s my first time seeing a kid like you do something so daring, regardless of the consequences. You should brace yourself. The victims’ parents won’t stay still about this either. You’ll have to pay for your act.”

It was a harsh atmosphere.

It didn’t matter what kind of student Kim was or what started the fight.

Look at the state of the victimized students.

Faced with the prospect of taking the blame for everything that went wrong, Kim Young-chul drew a firm line in the sand and looked like he was going to eat Kim Hyun-sung alive. His irritation was palpable. He couldn’t understand why this student, who was usually so well-behaved, would bother him so much by making a mistake.

First of all.

At the very least, it was bullying.

He should open a bullying committee and make Hyun-sung pay for it, so he wouldn’t have to face the consequences himself.

But.

“Teacher, there’s no reason to make everything so big. Is this your first time dealing with schol violence?”

“……what?”

Gui was suspicious.

This is a situation where Kim Hyun-sung has to beg for forgiveness.

As if falling to his knees and crying wasn’t enough, Kim Hyun-sung looked up at Kim Young-cheol with a cold face devoid of guilt.

“Isn’t there something you’re really good at? Please take care of this like you did with everything else. Let’s not make this into a case, but bury everything. Could you cover everything up so I won’t be in such a mess?

“You bastard!”

Zap-!

My head snapped around.

The cheerful sound drew the attention of the teachers in the staff room.

They didn’t say a word.

Their faces twisted and they looked away, as if the violence in the staff room was a deserved punishment.

‘Yes, this is why I died.’

A past life.

He didn’t die from bullying alone.

The bullying of his peers, like Park Min-cheol’s gang.

And the neglect of adults.

They squeezed the life out of Kim Hyun-sung.

Especially in the case of Kim Young-cheol, the homeroom teacher of class 1, who was a scumbag who couldn’t be called a proper teacher.

He remembered it clearly.

He remembered how Kim Young-cheol lived under the guise of a teacher.

As he tried to slap him again and again, Kim Hyun-sung bared his blood-stained teeth.

“That’s enough.”

“You bastard!”

He laughed.

Looking at Kim Young-cheol, who stiffened for a moment, Kim Hyun-sung lowered his voice so that only he could hear.

“Teacher, lower your voice. Please, If not. I won’t be able to stay silent about the dirty money you eat up like a pig, from the parents of students. If I’m not wrong you also stay in very close touch with Minho’s parents. Now, would you like me to scream about that time before? Aside from that incident, I have a lot of other things to talk about. For example…a scandal with an…english teacher? That’s why I’m telling you to just keep it down.”

“So, moderation, you f*cking a$shole.”
