“Cool…Cool…“

I couldn’t fall asleep until 4 a.m. last night,

He was lying face down on the desk with his eyes closed.

Every single lesson was about something I already knew,

There was still some time left until the performance evaluation and midterm exam.

During class, I just look out the window,

I was thinking of ways to combat future events.

In the end, I became mentally exhausted due to the boring classes,

Fortunately, during breaks, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, albeit briefly.

Cradangtang—!

At that moment, the back door of the classroom opened and a girl came in.

“Kids…! There was a fight in the hallway!!“

“What? fight? Who is fighting with whom?“

“The second-year seniors are coming down… and beating up the first-year kids indiscriminately…!“

“What…? 2nd graders…? Why suddenly…?“

‘Oh, well, I guess it’s that season around now.’

It’s called [Discipline]

I don’t know why this custom still persists at Central Academy, a prestigious school.

Every year, at the beginning of the first semester, second-year students flock to the place where freshmen are.

There was a culture of trampling on anyone who was rebellious or did not like them.

A culture that literally disciplines first-year students.

That day, I also shouted loudly to the second graders at the time, ‘Stop it!!!!’

I was beaten like a dog on a dog day and carried to the nurse’s office.

Lauren was the grateful child who carried me out of the crowd of seniors that day.

Lauren always approaches me when second graders spot me.

The days that always stayed by my side began.

“Master.“

Natsuki poked my cheek while I was sleeping.

“It’s noisy outside. Should I take a look?“

I raised my head and looked at Natsuki.

Even though they are currently second-year seniors, they are ultimately high school students.

It was obvious that they were rookies who had barely even reached level 2.

The Natsuki in front of me is clearly a level 2 awakened person.

Moreover, I could trust her with a lot of combat experience, but…

For some reason, I felt like sending her away would cause more trouble.

If you got caught up in a fight, it would be difficult to deal with it.

At least if I step forward as a member of the student council, the school will cover me.

“Hmm…no, I’ll clean it up and come back.“

Although it has not been officially active yet,

After all, I am definitely a member of the student council’s leading section.

If I dozed off in this situation, I was sure I would hear something from Xiao later.

“Then I too…“

“No, it’s okay. They’re all trash anyway… I have business to attend to those bitches too.“

I took off my padding and walked straight toward the hallway.

Then the girl standing next to the back door grabbed my arm.

“I…can’t go out…! It’s so dangerous…!“

“Yes, that’s right…! There’s no such thing as a fuss because all the second graders have come here now…!“

I yawned and gently shook her hand off.

“It’s okay. Just in case, please call the student council members later.“

“Ugh…Ugh…!”

I smiled at them and quietly closed the back door.

thud—!

The sound of something hitting hard was heard from far away in the hallway,

Kagak—! Kaga-ga-gak—!

Sparks flew violently and the sound of blades clashing could be heard.

I adjusted my school uniform jacket and walked towards them.

There, students were seen fighting in front of the wide central hallway.

Several other first-year students were lying on the floor in the hallway, probably because they had already been beaten harshly.

They are standing in a line holding various weapons.

Compared to freshmen, they have a solid physique, and the magic that touches their skin feels relatively stronger.

It was clear that they were the second graders who led this incident.

‘Hey… it’s the same as it was back then.’

Kagagak—Kagagak—!

The sight of him standing at the forefront and swinging his sword fiercely,

And the action of violently repelling a quickly swung sword strike.

A merger was taking place that no one could hastily step forward.

“Huh…Huh…Huh…“

“Phew…is this year’s first year doing well? It’s more fun than I thought…!“

‘Yuri… Mr…?’

I quickly took out my shield from subspace.

She waved her straight black hair and raised her dagger,

It fell violently vertically.

Then, sparks flew out from the sword body and the opponent was instantly pushed away.

“You guys…! You can’t go to that classroom… I’ll stop you…!“

“Yeah… it’s more fun that way!!!“

At that moment when the second-year gang rushed towards Lee Yu-ri as a group,

I immediately jumped out in front of her and raised my shield.

Tong—! Boom—!

“Master…!“

Numerous blades and blunt weapons struck the shield violently,

Heavy gray smoke rose and obscured the view.

Boom—!

I swung my black shield and spread a smoke screen.

Then, visibility began to clear.

“Yuri, are you hurt?“

“Yes…!“

Yuri Lee was breathing heavily.

But fortunately there were no signs of injury.

I adjusted my shield and stood proudly in front of her.

“Fighting is prohibited on campus. Seniors.“

“Ah… It’s not fun, is it really like this?“

The female student standing in front of me adjusted her longsword.

Pink funky hair and multiple piercings in her nose.

And he even has a habit of scratching his head when he doesn’t like something.

It was Carmella, the second-year bully who beat me up that day as an example.

“Hey, first year. What are you doing now? I’m in the middle of having fun… but you’re disturbing me…“

Carmela aimed the tip of the blade at my neck,

I looked at the second graders expressionlessly.

A green name tag attached to the chest.

And all of them are holding weapons in a threatening manner.

As roughly expected, it seemed like they were trying to discipline the freshmen.

“Let’s do that. I think you have enough discipline at this level.“

“Hmm…no, not yet.“

She then pointed her sword at Yu-ri Lee and me.

“I think I’ll be quite satisfied if I just beat up the two of you. It would be a shame to quit now.“

I sighed and put the shield into subspace.

Then I turned my wrist and stretched for a moment.

“What is it? Not even using a shield? Or is he a magical awakened person?“

” Wow… First graders these days are fearless… Should you make them like that too? “

“If you kneel down and pray right now, they might give you a little help. You look pretty cute. Even now my man…“

I ignored them and clenched my fists,

A strong blue magic power began to flow from both my hands.

bang—!

I immediately kicked away the sword Carmella was holding.

Then the blade immediately flew towards the wall next to it,

It had penetrated very deeply into the concrete wall and was firmly embedded.

“What…what…?“

“Yuri, step back for a moment. Once your magic power is restored, we will support you from behind.“

“Yes…young master…!“

I put one hand in my pants pocket,

He waved his hand at the second graders.

“If you quit now, I will look after you. If you don’t want to fight, stay back.“

“Such a crazy bastard…!“

The moment Carmella was about to pull out the sword stuck in the wall,

I quickly jumped towards them.

Quickly kick your toes and jump up into the air,

The first student who approached me was strongly kicked in the abdomen.

bang—!

“Wow…!

Sensation of multiple ribs being broken at the same time.

She flew very quickly towards the back,

It crashed into the second graders standing behind it and collapsed.

It was as if the bowling pins were knocked down by a single blow from a bowling ball thrown with full power.

“Mi… crazy…!“

“Did this go around…!”

Boom—!

A huge ax swung horizontally.

I immediately ducked down to avoid the attack.

Then he twisted his waist and raised his fist upward,

I inserted it exactly into the corner of her chin.

Kwasik—!

“Kuheook…!“

She was floating in the air, blood pouring from her nose,

She then struck the stomach of another dealer standing next to her with her left fist.

Sigh—!

“Wow…!”

“Mi… crazy…!“

“Hey!!! Use magic!!! Quick!!!“

Carmella, who had barely pulled out the longsword from the wall, screamed,

Then the students hiding behind began to recite magic spells all at once.

“Fire Arrow!!!“

“Chain Lightning!!!“

“Ice Storm!!!“

Brightly colored lights burst out from the staff all at once,

One by one, magic drawn by the power of the elements was fired towards me.

‘If I avoid this, other kids will get hit…’

Another first grader who was lying next to me,

And then he looked back at Yuri Lee, who was recovering behind him.

And immediately he quickly blessed my entire body.

[buff]

bang—!

It’s so scary—!

Grumbling—-!

Numerous strong elemental attacks hit my body directly,

I didn’t even blink and just felt the magic flowing through me.

As another gray smoke rose.

I could hear the wizards sighing in relief from across the room.

“Did you get rid of it…?“

Buuuung—!

I swung my fist at the thick gray fog.

At that moment, a strong wind rose along the path of the fist, as if cutting through the air.

In an instant, the thick smoke dispersed.

“Ma… this is ridiculous…! There’s no way I’m still fine after being hit by those magic spells…!“

“This is crazy…“

I swung my fist at Carmella, who was trying to say something,

Then she raised her sword and blocked the attack.

The tip of the tightly clenched fist hit the sword body hard.

Damn it!

Starting from the bottom of the sword, the entire blade began to crack.

Carmela looked at me with a shocked expression.

“You…what on earth are you…!“

I kicked her right ankle hard while she was distracted.

Kwasik–!

“Khaaagh…!“

“Why talk so much while fighting…!”

Carmella immediately fell helplessly on the floor,

I then raised my heel and struck her vertically in the face.

bang—!

Blood spattered into the air, and she writhed in excruciating pain.

I grabbed her pink hair and lifted her up,

Then he glared into her eyes and spoke coldly.

“I am Seojin Han, a first year student. And you definitely picked the wrong person to fight.“

“Tsk…what…you crazy bastard…“

The moment Carmella pulled out the dagger from her waist and was about to stab her,

Hiss—!

Pak—!

A dagger flew out from behind and hit her right in the palm of her hand.

◦ at What the fuck…what the fuck…!!!“

“Master, are you okay…!“

I smiled and nodded to Yuri.

She took out another dagger with a happy expression,

I waved my hand at her as if it wasn’t necessary.

bang—!

I immediately hit Carmella’s head hard against the wall,

Then she fell limp, as if she had lost consciousness.

“Mi… crazy…!“

“Do…run away!!!“

The wizards, who were firing magic skills from behind, saw their leader, Carmella, fall.

It immediately turned around and started running away.

“Where…!“

I raised my finger and aimed it at them.

[Tracked Delivery]

Buuuung—!

In subspace, a baseball bat flew at very high speed,

Kang—!

Rotating horizontally at a very high speed,

At the same time, he hit the backs of the three girls’ heads hard.

Uddangtang…!

After examining the condition of the fallen second graders,

I was looking at the wounds of other first years.

Burned wounds from being stabbed with a sword or being subjected to harsh magic.

If we don’t, all the second graders here will be taken to the nurse’s office.

It seemed better for me to treat him right here.

[cure]

So let me stretch out my hand and let the magic flow.

One by one, their wounds recovered quickly.

“Stop!!! He’s a leader!!!“

At that moment, several students rushed from the end of the hallway,

Xiao, who was walking slowly in the middle, and I made eye contact.

“Ah, Seojin. Did you subdue it?“

Xiao blinked and looked at the figures lying on the ground.

The first graders must have finally come to their senses and staggered to their feet.

The seniors who had been beaten so hard were still lying limp on the floor.

“Ha… You did this again this year, without fail. I must have repeatedly urged them to strengthen crackdowns at the beginning of the semester…“

Xiao sighed and placed his hand on his forehead.

The student council members standing next to her lowered their heads with nervous expressions.

“Sin…I’m sorry…! Chairman Xiao…!”

“Anyway, thank you very much. Thanks to you taking the initiative to solve the problem, I saved myself a lot of trouble.“

“It’s natural. Because I also belong to the student council.“

Xiao chuckled and tapped my shoulder.

He then lifted Carmella, who had fallen to the floor, onto his shoulders.

“Han…Seojin…were you… a member of the student council…“

She looked at me with eyes full of hate,

I smiled brightly and said to Carmella.

“Of course, I’m not stupid. There’s no way there’s a fight in the academy when you’re not even a member of the student council, right?“

“What…dog…child…!“

When Carmella struggled and reached out for me,

Xiao immediately slapped her hard on the back of the neck.

widely-!

Then Carmela fell limp again and lost consciousness.

“Anyway… Did you deal with all these second graders… by yourself?“

The chairman looked at me and tilted his head,

I nodded and fiddled with my wrist.

“I subdued him with my bare hands… to avoid injury as much as possible. I was fortunate that I didn’t have to take out my weapon.“

“Hmm…“

Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

Then, in a charismatic manner, he began giving orders to other student council members.

In an instant, the situation began to settle down,

The moment I was about to go back to class with Yu-ri Lee.

“Seo Jin-gun.“

She called me over.

I turned my head and faced Xiao.

“Thank you for your hard work. And… I realized once again that you are a really interesting man.“

She was smiling brightly and twisting her long brown hair,

I smiled and nodded

I walked towards Yu-ri Lee, who was waiting for me.

“Yuri, should I take you to the nurse’s office?“

“Ah…no. I’m fine.“

Yuri’s expression became a little stiff and he avoided my eyes.

I felt like she was hiding her hurt, so I asked her persistently.

“If you are injured, it is better to get treatment in time. If you don’t, you’ll end up with scars…“

“Master. Since when did you join the student council?“

She looked at me with sparkling red eyes.

‘Ah… That’s right, Yuri, I guess you didn’t know.’

Now that I think about it, I’ve never told her.

No, there was no reason to say it in the first place.

I looked at her with an expression of confusion.

“Yes, that’s right. But why?“

“I see…you’re moving away from me again…“

Yuri looked at the floor and wiggled his fingers.

I smiled brightly at the downcast woman.

“Then Yuri can join the student council too! You were fighting well against the second grader earlier!“

“Yes…? My…am I…?“

Her expression instantly brightened and she looked at me,

I nodded to Yuri with a confident expression.

The second year that we fought with earlier, and even Carmella.

The level of magical power felt was clearly that of a level 2 awakened person.

Even though Yuri Lee is a 4★ character and a pure dealer,

Level 1 competed against Level 2 for quite a long time.

That fact alone was proof that she was talented.

“Yes! how is it? The student council will probably be officially recruiting new members in a little while. Maybe if I ask the head of the family, he will write me a letter of recommendation.“

“I…really…!“

She smiled brightly and took the hand I held out.

Yuri Lee immediately stood up vigorously.

The moment I was about to return to class,

The first-year students, who seemed to have just come to their senses, stood up one by one.

Then they started gathering towards me and surrounding me.

“Han Seo-jin…! You saved us…!“

“The first year students won against the second year seniors…! And that too alone…!“

“Awesome… It was truly an amazing skill!!! I pretended to faint and watched the fight… He was so strong…!“

As if they had realized that the fight was over, the front and back doors of the classroom next to the hallway opened.

The students came out one by one and were singing my name passionately.

“Han Seo-jin! Seojin Han! Seojin Han! Seojin Han!“

“The hero who saved us from our seniors…!“

“I even heard that you belong to the student council…! Han Seo-jin will protect us in the future…!“

‘Uh… does that happen…?’

I was quickly grabbed by the legs by the gathered students,

It was raised in the air and began to be shouted at.

“Hurrah…! hurray…! Long live…!“

‘Really… it wasn’t a big deal…’

I soared into the air while listening to their loud cheers.

A few minutes later, the instructor and teacher dismissed them.

I was barely able to return to the classroom with Yuri Lee.

——-

Inside a teacher’s office.

I was sitting on the sofa and yawning.

In front of me, the second-year students who had been beaten by me earlier were sitting in a row.

They stroked my swollen wounds without even meeting my eyes,

They were just hoping that their parents would come quickly.

“You shouldn’t have backed down when I warned you earlier. Why did you start a fight for no reason… Tsk.“

I was drinking a can of Let’s Be,

They were sniffling and muttering something.

“What is this… I touched that bastard for no reason…and this is what happened…”

“What kind of man is that strong? It’s ridiculous…”

“Ah…it hurts so much…you damn bastard…”

Let’s wait like that for a while.

The parents, very angry, kicked down the door and came in together.

Then he looked at the faces of his children,

He started pouring all kinds of insults at me, who was sitting across from him.

“This crazy guy…! How dare you take my daughter…!“

“Oh my…look at my daughter’s face…! I…I…!“

“XX bastard..! XX to XX to XXX!!!! That XXX guy!!!“

I calmly drank my coffee,

While they were excited, spitting and talking about killing me and all.

I was looking at Carmella’s wounds.

Maybe it’s because I was able to control my strength well in between.

There seemed to be much fewer injuries than expected.

Of course, she will be in need of donations for a while.

In the first place, women in this world have good physical strength and good resilience,

I thought the bones would heal quickly and the injury would heal.

“Let’s sleep. Stop it.“

The director walked slowly among the excited parents.

She sat down next to me and took out a folder and some photos.

Afterwards, he began to read the incident report written by the student council with elegance.

Starting with the circumstances of the incident, the fact that multiple students attacked me.

And swords and other weapons were used against me, who was unarmed.

The situation in which magical techniques were even launched was recorded on CCTV.

‘Fortunately, I didn’t hit a blind spot… I think it was a good idea to fight there on purpose…’

“That’s not all… Student Seojin Han is also male. It’s an incident where several women assaulted a man… aren’t you all ashamed?“

The chairman’s words hit the nail on the head with the second-year students and their parents.

They ended up frowning and huffing, as if they had nothing to say.

He glared at me and started to get angry.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing.“

I took out a tape recorder that I had hidden in my pocket.

When I pressed the play button, the sound of them swearing was properly recorded.

The chairman sighed and started listening to the recorded audio.

“This…this…! Wait, that’s because we’re excited…!“

“That’s right…Student…Is it really like this…? Huh…?“

Numerous verbal abuse directed at socially vulnerable men.

If I could at least perform a tearful performance in court,

In the event of a lawsuit, the case could be handled very favorably.

I could have received a fairly decent settlement amount.

“You even verbally abuse student Han Seojin like this. Now, I don’t think you know what kind of position this is? Now, we are here because all of your daughters have done something serious enough to get expelled from school…“

Beatrice rebuked them elegantly and in an old-fashioned way,

They became mute and bowed their heads to me.

“Please…Please Student Han Seojin…? Please…please be generous.“

“Well…“

‘I got caught.’

I sat with my knees crossed and rested my chin.

Then he spoke coldly to them.

“Actually, I felt a little sorry that it seemed like they took control one-sidedly. But, because of the verbal abuse you made earlier… I changed my mind a little.“

At one word from me, their expressions turned pale,

I then delivered the final blow.

“Because parents are like this, their children are also like this… right? Chairman. I have absolutely no intention of going to the same academy as these people. But it’s not a serious enough issue to file a lawsuit…“

I winked at the chairman,

Beatrice immediately smiled shallowly and held my hand warmly.

“Originally, student Seojin Han could have filed a lawsuit against you… but if your children quietly submit a letter of withdrawal, we will proceed immediately without any additional disciplinary action. I think this is a much better choice than having a criminal record for school violence. What do you think? “

She and her parents nodded without saying a word,

I also turned off the tape recorder I was holding as a sign of consent.

So they could never set foot in Central Academy again.

I was watching them being kicked out of school with their bags on their backs.

“Seojin, are you satisfied with this much…?“

The chairman stood next to me and asked how I was doing.

I smiled brightly and nodded at her.

“Yes, I feel relieved.“

“Yes, that’s just you.“

As I drank coffee with the chairman,

I closed my eyes for a moment.

The taste of revenge achieved after 5 years.

It tasted very sweet.
