School of Evil - School of Evil Chapter 4

Park Min-cheol case.

In his past life, Kim Hyunsung endured hellish days after that incident.

Every day, he was dragged by Park Min-cheol and mercilessly beaten to a pulp, making it impossible for him to sleep with torment like running errands for the games even after school. He had no way to express it other than calling it hell. Kim Hyunsung, who managed to endure somehow, made a decision that he couldn’t continue his studies in this way.

He went to see the teacher.

He knew it wasn’t such a good solution, but he felt he needed an adult’s help now.

However.

“So, that happened?”

Kim Young-chul’s reaction was indifferent.

He didn’t ask about Kim Hyunsung’s situation in detail; he just listened without any interest. If it had ended there, Kim Hyunsung wouldn’t have resented his homeroom teacher. Seeing Kim Hyunsung speak with a desperate voice about his situation, Kim Young-chul made a mistake by not resolving the problem.

“Hey, Park Mincheol, Is what Hyunsung saying true?”

“Ey, Teach~ There’s no reason why I have to bully my friends like that. We just joked around a bit and since I have quite a big build, Hyunsung must have misunderstood that I bullied him.”

“Kid, Whatever it is, don’t bully your friends. Don’t you think so too? Nothing good will come out of punching each other in the face. Do the rest of you understand?”

“Yes!”

“Yes, sir! I’ll keep that in mind~”

Kim Young-chul and Park Min-cheol’s gang.

Kim Hyunsung had a serious story at stake, but they joked, laughed, and solved the problem except for the victim. Kim Hyunsung, as he left the faculty room, couldn’t control his trembling hands. He knew what was about to happen, and as expected, as soon as he left the faculty room, Park Min-cheol showed a fiercely contorted expression.

“Follow me, Kim Hyunsung.”

“Idiot, did you think you’d do something if you snitched on the teacher?”

He was dragged along.

Dragged into the incinerator, a space sanctioned by the gang, Kim Hyunsung paid a price that day for confronting his homeroom teacher. He was beaten terribly, as if driven insane, as the price for standing up. Normally, violence might have stopped once blood flowed, but despite his nose bleeding and his face swelling, they kept slapping his face and tripping him up. Unsatisfied with that, they trampled on his face, but Kim Hyunsung gritted his teeth, crouched his body, and stubbornly endured like a tenacious person.

He was frustrated.

He was angry.

How did he end up in this situation?

And if a teacher is supposed to be a presence, isn’t it their role to genuinely resolve a student’s difficulties?

Pfft.

“F*ck you!”

“I’ll really kill you today!”

It was then.

As he struggled to keep his face covered, Kim Hyunsung happened to look out the window of his school building.

On the other side of the window.

There was a familiar face.

That person was clearly Kim Young-chul, and Kim Hyunsung felt an urge to shout with joy at the fact that his homeroom teacher witnessed him being mistreated in this manner. Now, this wouldn’t just pass as mere pranks among friends. Witnessing undeniable evidence, Kim Young-chul, often referred to as a bulldozer, would undoubtedly administer severe punishment.

At that moment.

Silently.

He turned his head.

Even though clearly witnessed, that person disappeared into the building as if completely unrelated to him.

He couldn’t believe it.

He wanted to deny reality.

Only later did he find out.

Kim Young-chul was a trash taking money from parents, and it was the parents of one of Park Min-cheol’s gang, Jung Min-ho, who were funding Kim Young-chul. From the start, he had no intention of resolving Kim Hyunsung’s issues.

* * *

The corners of Kim Young-chul’s eyes twitched.

He quickly scanned the room, wondering if the other teachers had heard Kim’s revelation.

Luckily, none of the teachers were watching.

Breathed a sigh of relief, Kim Young-chul stared at Kim Hyun-sung, his face contorted into a murderous expression.

“Where did this a$shole get this bullsh*t-“

“Teach.”

Hyunsung interrupted.

Kim Hyun-sung, who had anticipated Kim Young-chul’s reaction, spoke in a calm and organized voice.

“From now on, when you speak against me, you should think carefully before you speak. I know that you were introduced to Jung Min-ho’s parents through a university senior, weren’t you? So you’ve been taking care of Minho even before he was admitted to this school, and as a reward, you receive a payment every month. I also know that you’ve been having an affair with the English teacher, a married woman with three children. That you often use Motels as a place to stay. Should I say more? You’ve been living a pretty dirty life, and Don’t even think of passing this as nonsense, If all the problems are revealed, your life as a teacher will be difficult in the future, won’t it?”

Whisper.

Hyunsung leaned back in the chair.

Spitting out the blood that had pooled in his mouth, he looked up at Kim Hyunsung in surprise.

“If you’re going to act like that, I’m going to trample on your life, even if I have to make you quit this school, teach.”

“…….”

He was speechless.

It was impossible for him to know.

A past life.

By the time Kim Hyun-sung was in third year, Kim Young-chul’s private affairs were revealed, and his wife came to school and slapped him refreshingly, and stamped on the divorce papers. As it turns out, Kim’s wife was a very wealthy woman, and it was also rumored that everything that could be considered property belonged to her, if that were true, It’s certain that Kim Youngchul feared his affairs being revealed the most.

Thus.

There’s no way this blackmail doesn’t work.

His shaky eyes proved it, and after a moment of silence, Kim Youngchul struggled to speak.

“…I, What do you want me to do, Hyungsung?”

I realized what was going on.

The bulldozer took a step back, realizing that if he messed with Kim Hyunsung, something really bad could happen.

Kim Hyunsung laughed.

“It’s simple, if you’re going to shut me up, keep up the attitude you’ve been living with.”

“What does that mean…?”

“Continue to live like a scumbag. Turn a blind eye to your students’ affairs, bury them even though you know it’s wrong. From now on, you’re going to do a lot of things for me, and if you do whatever it takes to keep this from becoming an incident, I’ll never blab about your secrets until the day I graduate.”

I ducked my head.

In a voice that was a little too loud and sure for the other teachers to hear.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

* * *

He left the faculty room.

Walking down the corridor, he recalled Kim Young-chul’s final words.

“…I’ll try.”

A despairing face.

A forced voice.

Kim Young-chul kneeled to reality.

Despite being in a situation where he was being threatened by a mere student, he saw no way to resist. Sending Park Min-cheol’s gang member to the hospital proved Kim Hyunsung’s determination. Knowing that messing with a stubborn person like him would lead to mutual destruction, Kim Young-chul, having already established a stable reality, couldn’t help but feel fear.

After Kim Young-chul’s incident, Kim Hyun-sung tried to solve the problem on his own.

He attacked Park Min-chul’s gang from the front.

Even though he knew he couldn’t win the fight, he threw his fists and tried to escape his hellish reality.

That day was especially intense.

He knocked out Park Min-cheol and broke Jung Min-ho’s nose, but he was also hit by Kang Chang-seok, sending Kim Hyun-seong to the hospital. It was clearly a two-way street. Technically, the bullying from Park Min-cheol’s gang should be blamed, but the reality that awaited Hyun-sung after the day’s events was very harsh.

“Hyun Sung started it first.”

“How can this be?! my son’s precious nose is broken!”

“We won’t let this matter slide by!”

Park Min-cheol’s gang claiming victimization.

And the intervention of adults.

The situation had been reversed.

For Kim Hyunsung, who had no parents, it was an area where he couldn’t do anything, and his grandmother, a basic livelihood recipient, couldn’t bear the domineering voices of affluent ladies bedecked in luxurious brands. She lowered her head. Faced with a warning that threatened to trample over Kim Hyunsung’s life, his grandmother, with a strong temper, had no choice but to lower her head.

The school violence committee was convened.

The outcome resulted in disciplinary action against Kim Hyunsung.

While Park Min-cheol’s gang continued their school life without any issues, Kim Hyunsung, who became a vegetative, reflected upon his situation.

Since then,

He realized later after falling into a coma.

To exact revenge on Park Min-cheol’s gang, he realized that relying on sheer force alone wouldn’t be enough. He had to perfectly handle even the involvement of adults to carry out genuine revenge.

Kim Young-chul.

He was merely the first card he had thought of in advance.

Upon reaching his destination that had approached suddenly, Kim Hyunsung temporarily set aside the tumultuous thoughts in his mind.

There was something he needed to do first.

Creak.

Thud.

He opened the door.

As the door to Class 8 opened forcefully, the students inside the classroom looked at Kim Hyunsung with surprised eyes.

And among them.

“Jung Min-ho. Let’s finish what we started.”

Jung Min-ho, a member of Park Min-cheol’s gang, froze with a pale face.

* * *

Kim Hyunsung was summoned to the faculty room.

Jung Min-ho appeared to be irritated as if wondering when he became frightened.

“Son of a B*tch, are you really insane?! I’m going to tear him apart and kill him as soon as he returns!”

Boom!

He kicked the desk as soon as he entered the class.

His classmates didn’t dare to say anything as he vented his anger.

He knew what was going on.

Kim Young-chul, who had a close relationship with his mother, would not let Kim Hyun-sung get away with beating three of his friends to a bloody pulp. At the very least, expulsion. If Kim Hyun-sung was expelled from the school, he wouldn’t have to see him anymore, and then he wouldn’t have to worry about fighting with him.

Honestly, He was terrified.

The problem was that his other friends must have been watching, and he lost his temper.

Thud.

He sat down on the chair.

His anger diminished.

At that moment, it felt like if he ever met Kim Hyunsung again, he could completely crush him.

However.

Thud.

“Bang.”

His head turned.

With Kim Hyun-sung charging straight at him, Jung Min-ho didn’t know how to resist and allowed himself to be punched. The moment he saw Kim Hyun-sung, his body stiffened. He was good at fighting, so he should have reacted this way, but the sight of Kim Hyun-sung returning after being dragged to the faculty office was like a ghost.

Arch-enemy.

He had become a mouse in front of a cat.

After falling to the ground, he looked up to find his fist filling his vision.

Bam!

“Keughh!”

His eyes popped open.

From then on, He couldn’t think straight.

His face fell helplessly to the ground, and was punched repeatedly by Kim Hyun-sung.

Smack!

Smack, smack, smack, smack!

Blood splashed.

His face was a mess.

Jung Min-ho, who had been so angry earlier, but now he was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a plea within Jung Min-ho, wishing to scream for mercy in the situation where he was being beaten like a dog. Kim Hyunsung was truly a lunatic. Jung Min-ho, who had been struggling to survive by any means, suddenly noticed a familiar face beyond the classroom window.

‘The Bulldozer!’

It was Kim Youngchul.

For a moment, he was filled with hope.

Youngchul, who was being paid by his mother, would not stand idly by while he was being beaten like this.

But then.

“…… Fuck.”

Kim Youngchul’s face contorted.

Despite the obvious eye contact, he averted his gaze and turned to walk away, as if he hadn’t seen him.

At the same time, a desperate voice pierced my ears.

“Don’t even expect the slightest bit of help because no one in this school will ever help you.”

Finally, he understood.

Something had gone wrong.

As Kim Hyunsung’s palm dominated his field of vision, Jung Min-ho tightly shut his eyes.

Squeeze-!
