Chapter 66.2

Chapter 66 (Continued)

Each firearm was fitted into a slot that matched its shape, but only one slot was empty. Did Baek-seo take it?

As I continued looking around, I noticed a trash can. A piece of paper was sticking out from under the lid.

I opened the trash can. There was a crumpled piece of paper inside. I took it out and checked it.

“…!”

A gasp escaped me.

It was a withdrawal application with Oh Baek-seo’s name on it.

[ Reason for Withdrawal ]

─ Personal reasons, but I will be back soon.

The phrase “I will be back soon” was written.

Baek-seo could have just taken a leave of absence.

It seemed she planned to leave Ahsung High School for a while due to matters unrelated to the Disciplinary Committee or the academy curriculum.

However, seeing that the withdrawal application was not submitted but thrown in the trash.

She might have gone through a change of heart during the process and decided she would return soon anyway.

And if I had seen the withdrawal application, the result would have been obvious.

I would have found out what the problem was and, of course, tried to help Baek-seo.

Baek-seo probably anticipated that as well.

“…”

The approval columns for the Disciplinary Committee Leader and the Student Council were blank.

Even if this withdrawal application had been submitted, I would have rejected it.

Because she didn’t want to leave; she felt she had to.

I threw the paper back into the trash.

I had no intention of feeling disheartened. I immediately started examining Baek-seo’s mind map meticulously.

“Kid.”

Eventually, I heard a woman’s voice from behind.

It was Golden Sheep.

“…You knew from the beginning, didn’t you?”

“Roughly.”

I didn’t question why she hadn’t told me. It was obvious I would have been in danger.

For Golden Sheep, I was the priority. She had no reason to protect Baek-seo.

“I told you, didn’t I?”

Golden Sheep said.

“Oh Baek-seo is like a cheesecake precariously balanced on chopsticks. She was fine because you were supporting her. In the meantime, you were being targeted by the Head Principal’s subordinates. Could she have kept her sanity?”

Golden Sheep clicked her tongue.

“Besides, she’s someone who has gotten a lot of human blood on her hands. Moving alone would be more comfortable.”

“Yeah, I know. I think the same…”

“Don’t look for Oh Baek-seo.”

Golden Sheep cut off my answer and spoke firmly.

Her voice was cold as ice.

“You’re not someone who can do anything right now. If you don’t want to die pointlessly, stay still.”

I knew it was a warning.

Facing the Head Principal with my current capabilities was absurd.

Becoming the Disciplinary Committee Leader and planning to use the committee was only to defeat the Six Sinners one by one.

Considering the possibility that the Six Sinners, except for Goliath, might be on the Head Principal’s side, and the fact that the next strongest Spartoi was under the Head Principal’s command.

Even if the entire Disciplinary Committee stepped in, it was easy to envision our future burial.

But… staying still was unbearable after seeing what lay before me.

Before I knew it, I had understood the entire mind map.

I guessed what actions Baek-seo might take and thought along with my game knowledge.

Memories of wandering around, wearing out my shoes looking for the disappeared Kim Dalbi, overlapped with the present moment.

I couldn’t just sit still.

“As long as I don’t die.”

I turned my back and started walking.

My heart was astonishingly cold.

I felt like I wouldn’t fear anyone right now.

***

The dark alley.

Raindrops were soaking Oh Baek-seo and Kim Dalbi.

Dalbi leaned against the wall, staring at the grim reaper standing before her.

A person holding the White Wheel Sword in one hand and a silenced pistol in the other.

Dressed in black to blend into the darkness.

It was Oh Baek-seo.

Baek-seo looked the same as she did in her days as the Head Principal’s hound. There was no trace of mercy in her eyes.

Dalbi spoke with difficulty, managing a strained smile.

“You know…”

Thwack!

The blade of the White Wheel Sword, imbued with magic, pierced Dalbi’s thigh.

“Ugh…!”

As the sudden pain surged, Dalbi bit her lip and suppressed a scream. Blood trickled down her lips and mixed with the rainwater.

Baek-seo pressed the White Wheel Sword into Dalbi’s thigh and stepped on her ankle.

If Dalbi resisted even slightly, the White Wheel Sword would tear through her body.

If she made any loud noise, a bullet would pierce her throat.

“You were annoying.”

Baek-seo’s cold voice blended with the sound of the rain.

“Trying to mess with Woo-jin, I don’t think I can forgive that.”

“Really…? Good for you…”

Dalbi’s body was trembling from the cold.

Having lost a lot of blood, she was now drenched in the cold rain.

Still, a smirk appeared on Dalbi’s lips.

“I see. I guess you annoyed me too…”

Dalbi expressed her honest feelings.

But she didn’t say why.
