Volume 20. Chapter 12.

The radar of a boy named Lee Yoon Chol, who had recently entered high school, began to spin. A completely new school, a new class and new classmates. Lee Yoon Chol, who was sitting at the last desk, examined the atmosphere around. Moreover, his gaze was stern and predatory. With one glance he quickly identified those who were weaker than him. And also those who will be worthy to become his friends. In this world, called the classroom, the real jungle law reigned. Even in high school, Lee Yong Chul ruled everyone in the chicken coop with his fists. In his opinion, most of his classmates looked like easy, helpless prey. Almost everyone who met his eyes quickly looked away. “It sucks,” he thought boredly. However, suddenly a guy with a wide a smile on his face. “This is Joe Song Ho.” He was just one of those “friends” who went about their business in the neighboring area. In addition, they occasionally crossed paths with each other and drank together with their friends.

-Are you here too?

-Yeah. They greeted each other and discussed the news from their circle of interests and began to compare their successes. But this did not last long. Joe Song Ho heard about Lee Yoon Chol’s notoriety, so he nodded and asked the latter for support.

-Take care of me, okay?

Lee Yoon Chul grinned and shook Joe Song’s outstretched hand Ho. Now they are establishing a certain hierarchical position, and this guy will be classified as a “friend.” So, he was already halfway to establishing hierarchical relations with the rest of the class. But there was one guy who for some reason strongly got on Lee Yoon Chol’s nerves. He was not an exemplary student who sat at his first desk, but he was not a punk who attracted attention while sitting at the “gallery.” A strange guy who sat in the middle of the class and didn’t even look away when their eyes met. In every class there is always someone like this guy

-a fool who does not know his place and needs an “incident” to understand who is above and who is below. This jerk turned around and looked directly at Lee Yong Chol, and then sighed, as if he noticed something

-something funny, and looked away. Obviously, the school bully could no longer put up with this and got out of his place. Dururuk… The sound of a chair rubbing on the floor loudly rang out to the whole class. Naturally, the views of the entire class immediately gathered on Lee Yoon Chole. The boy enjoyed his attention and, feeling at his best, went straight to the eccentric who did not yet know his place.

-Hey. As soon as Lee Yong Chol reached out to grab the guy by the shoulder and turn him around, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.

-Wait a minute. Noticing that this is Joe Song Ho grabbed his hand, Lee Yoon Chol asked.

-What is it?

In his voice, there was a clear discontent, which made Joe Song Ho nervously swallow the saliva.

-We are from the same high school. If it’s not difficult for you, then don’t bother him.

-… of one school?

Did he defend this eccentric simply because they went to the same school?

there may be two possible reasons. First: for some incredible reason, everyone is forbidden to touch this guy. Or they didn’t respect Lee Yong Chol. The face of the high school student’s bully instantly hardened, and he kicked the eccentric chair a couple of times. who didn’t even bother to turn around during this mess.

-Hey, hey?

Who the hell are you?

Cho are you silent?

Do you have a mouth or something?

Joe Song Ho’s face quickly turned pale, and he tried to stop the conflict. Lee Yoon Chol’s patience ran out, and he hit his “friend” in the arm, looking at him with fierce eyes.

-Let’s go out. Lee Yong Chol left the classroom, and two others left him. his bipod, who graduated from the same high school. He stopped right at the door and looked around. His eyes noticed Joe Song Ho, who was already sweating with excitement, while the “eccentric” seemed to spit on what was happening. A cold, formidable aura filled the eyes of Lee Yoon Chol. ***

-Khe-hyuk!

Joe Song Ho barely stood on his feet, there was no face on him. But Lee Yun Chol was clearly not satisfied, his eyes remained all the same cold-blooded and cruel. He pressed Joe Song Ho against the wall and asked a question.

-Who the hell is this kid?

Who is he that you are interceiving for him?

!

The battered boy was breathing heavily and painfully, then he spat the saliva mixed with blood onto the ground. Through strength, he raised his long-suffering head.

-He was the strongest in our high school.

-…?

Lee Yoon Chol tilted his head slightly to the side. Did this kid go crazy after a little scuffle?

Everyone in the district knew very well that Joe Song Ho and his gang kept their entire high school at bay. However, he nodded and answered in more detail.

-We couldn’t even touch this guy with our hand. Today I intervened, because I was afraid that everything would turn out even worse. At first, Lee Yoon Chol decided that this was nonsense, but Joe Song Ho’s eyes were too serious for something like that. “This son of a bitch… What is he carrying?

” But this could not be. If such a cool dude existed, then there would definitely be some rumors about him. The name of this eccentric is Song Su Ho. Lee Yoon Chul has lived in this backwater since elementary school, but he had never heard that name before. Besides, how can this nerd give a fight back?

Lee Yoon Chul got even more angry, deciding that Joe Song Ho dared to put him as a coward in front of the class because of some kind of weirdo. Smeek!

From a powerful blow by Lee Yoon Chol, Joe Song Ho’s head turned to the side. And the cheek that got hit was swollen and reddened. The bully high school student apparently engaged in boxing from early childhood, and therefore his punches were clearly serious. However, Joe Song Ho on in fact, he was not afraid of this. At the same time, while he silently endured Lee Yun Chol’s powerful blows. He noticed “this.” “… !

!

!

” The bully stopped striking only after he noticed that Joe Song Ho’s eyes widened in surprise. He turned to look back. That same eccentric was approaching directly to them. Joe Song Ho lowered his head lower, as if he didn’t want to meet this guy’s eyes, and whispered. -Just… apologize to him. I’m not joking with you.

-This fucking son of a bitch…!

Lee Yoon Chul grabbed Joe Song Ho by the hair to shake the boy’s head, but he was already silent. When the first one was going to express a couple more rudeness… The reason for this conflict, Su Ho, finally appeared before them. Perhaps due to a preliminary warning from Joe Song Ho. Even Lee Yoon Chul, who first hits and then asks questions, immediately took a couple of steps back and looked carefully at Su Ho. He did not look small against the background of the bully or Joe Song Ho, but this eccentric was not particularly tall. His physique also looked quite ordinary. His neck and wrists, not hidden by his school uniform, looked strong, but it did not look like this boy was engaged in martial arts or something like that. The longer they looked at each other, the less Lee Yoon Chol believed the words of Joe Song Ho. Completely ignoring the hooligans, Su Ho came closer to Joe Song Ho and examined the last face of the latter.

-Tsk, tsk. From dissatisfied sounds came from his mouth, as if he were upset about this. Su Ho turned to the boy.

-Hey, Song Ho.

-… Yes.

-Let’s imagine that you do it too. I mean, all this is enough for self-defense, right?

Joe Song Ho nodded without hesitation.

-Good. Let’s do it. What were they talking about?

Lee Yoon Chul listened to this conversation with a puzzled face, but it soon turned into a furious discontent.

-Hey. When he held out his hand to grab Su Ho by the shoulder to turn him toward him, a sudden flash of light blinked right in front of Lee Yoon Chol’s eyes. Bang!

Lee Yoon Chol fell to the ground unconscious. After a moment, the two bipods behind him were also knocked out. bam, bam!

“How wild he is…” Joe Song Ho could only be surprised to see what was happening. If not for his sharp dynamic vision, honed through exercises and training, he would not have seen these amazing movements. One hit on the face of Lee Yong Chol, and one hit on the vital organs of his sixes

-his attacks were accurate, like a car, and wild, like a fierce predator. When he “Mistakenly” provoked Song Su Ho, he eventually wondered whether such an amazing power could belong to a man or not. But after that, his school life became completely stress-free, contrary to his initial expectations. Looking at the collapsed and motionless Lee Yong Chol and the sixes, Joe Song Ho scratched his head. “…” His bully had a broken nose and his sixes had bones. Rumors must spread quickly. Rumors that the “famous” Lee Yoon Chol from high school XX was beaten by Joe Song Ho from YY high school. Even the bully will keep his mouth shut, because this rumor is much preferable to giving everyone around to find out if some nameless inconspicuous schoolboy knocked him out. “Well then…” Another line was added to his victory list. Since it was a victory that was handed to him, Joe Song Ho felt awkward about all this. While he was overwhelmed by difficult thoughts, Su Ho came closer and held out his hand.

-Since everything has turned out like this… Let me cover you if anything, okay?

Joe Song Ho shyly scratched his cheek. and then silently shook his hand. Well… Not such a bad deal. ***

-Wow, Joe Song Ho has hardened those three?

-I immediately felt that it was not as simple as it seems, so I was not surprised.

-I heard that he practiced judo from early childhood and was quite famous in his area. Thanks to the news that Lee Yoon Chol and his sixes were in the hospital, the atmosphere in the classroom quickly warmed up. Moreover, Joe Song Ho was now even treated like a hero, because it turned out that he was trying to protect a boy who graduated from the same high school as he. Although this was the beginning of the new school year, and all the children felt awkward and insecure in front of each other, this topic created a miracle and melted the atmosphere in the classroom. But even then, Su Ho just looked at the sky alone. The end of the school day was near, and the blue skies above his head gradually turned into shades of saturated amber. For some reason, he stubbornly he wanted to yawn, and he could hardly restrain himself. “… I am bored.” And really, he was completely bored. Recently, he often yawned for no reason and was bored more often than ever before. There was such a vague, distant feeling that he was too used to those things that constantly surprised and made his heart beat faster. Whenever he came across this feeling, it became harder and harder for him to resist this boredom. Dururuk… The door to the classroom opened. And the eyes of the students went to the doorway. Joe Song Ho did not show and returned to his place.Ohhh-!

Children looked at the beaten face with envy and respect. Undoubtedly, now Joe Song Ho has become the leader of the class instead of Lee Yoon Chol.

-Hey, hey. Su Ho continued to look out the window, not paying attention to others, but in the end someone then poked him in the back and returned to reality. He turned around and saw a girl with a good appearance who wanted to talk to him.

-The friend who saved you returned in such a terrible state, but you won’t even say hello to him?

-… I already said.

-Oh, okay. The girl heard his short answer and seemed embarrassed by this awkward conversation, after which she quickly opened the textbook to hide her face. Meanwhile, he stared out the window again. “How boring…” The sun was approaching the horizon. *** The school day was finally then it ended. While everyone around was trying to quickly escape from the school, Su Ho was standing by the window to look at the athletics field outside. The students went out of the school gates. He did not like such crowds. His mother always laughed and said that in this respect he was exactly the same as his father. He read the book he had taken in the library and then looked up, thinking that it might be time to go home now. Nobody has been in the classroom for a long time already. Su Ho slowly packed up his backpack and threw it over his shoulder. It was nice to relax alone, but if he had spent even more time wasting it, he would have definitely been late for home for dinner, and this, in turn, would have seriously angered his mother. And okay if the story ended on this. Now the news that his mother got angry will reach his father’s ears… “Damn, okay. I can imagine what will happen to me. ” Su Ho’s skin got goosebumps and he quickly shook his head. How many more years does it take for his father to stop being so scary?

Seriously, now an unpleasant thought crept into his head that, even if his father finally gets old, Su Ho will still not be able to defeat him. He winced once more and quickly headed for the exit from the class. But when he tried to open the door… “The door… doesn’t open?

” If it was locked, it would certainly open, no lock would withstand his strength. The door didn’t move at all, as if it were a wall. “What is happening?

” Su Ho’s eyes widened, he ran to the other door and grabbed her by the handle. But the situation was the same here. Now, completely shocked, he quickly ran to the window and looked out. And there an incredible sight was played before his eyes. All the students who passed through the school gates, athletes engaged in the field, cars driving along the road, pedestrians walking along the sidewalk, and even a ball flying in the air… … Everything just froze. “But how is this possible..?

!

” Su Ho clenched both his fists and hit the window with all his strength. Boom!

Unfortunately, the window did not break from the blow, and his fists bounced off him as if from the rubber wall. “… !

!

!

” then. Su Ho quickly walked away from the window, walking backwards, and stubbornly tried to understand what was happening here. And then “this.” appeared. Su Ho sharply turned to the black round “hole” that appeared out of nowhere at the end of the classroom. At first it was the size of a volleyball ball, but quickly grew to a larger size until it became big enough for a person to go through it. It was like a door into the darkness, so dark that it seemed like it was pulling him. Ordinary children would be scared to a swoon, but… Instead of screaming or crying, Su Ho put his hand on his chest. Ba-tamp, ba-tamp, ba-tamp. His excited heart was pounding with emotions. Maybe. Maybe he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. “Mom said that I all the time I remind my father, right?

” If the father were in his place… What would he do?

The answer was pretty obvious. Ba-tamp, ba tampa, ba-tampa… because his pounding heart already made his legs move. Su Ho stood in front of the Gates and touched their surface. Buzz… Buzz… Although they sparkled like electricity, he did not feel any pain. No, instead he even felt much better, as if he was returning to his hometown, from which he had recently left. There was a strange, vague feeling of deja vu, as if he had already passed through such a Gate. Su Ho slowly and carefully regulated his breathing. His wildly beating heart finally found some calmness, and his head seemed to clear. “Good.” A brief smile surfaced on his lips. And then he jumped inside the “Gateway””, Not doubting for a moment.
