chapter 33
32 – 6# Head of the Disciplinary Committee, Kang Seolyeon (3)
Although Yushin stepped in to stop the two, he couldn’t do anything about the atmosphere that had already gone beyond this world. Yuri still looked unhappy.
Seolyeon, too, seemed to have something on her mind. She had been silent, lost in thought, since a while ago. Seeing this, Yushin clicked his tongue. It’s over, it’s over.
There was no more information to be gained. There was no reason to continue this awkward company. Judging so, Yushin clapped his hands in front of the thinking Seolyeon.
“Hmm? What’s the matter?”
“That’s it for today. If you need anything else next time, please ask, senior.”
“Oh, I see. Sorry, I couldn’t pay proper attention.”
“No, no, this is enough.”
At least Yushin’s words were not empty. Thanks to her guidance, he could at least grasp the geography and the atmosphere of the special education building.
The rest, he would have to find out for himself.
Right now, the most important thing for Yushin was the main scenario. The only fact he could deduce for now was that the main scenario was about halfway through.
However, the original protagonist, Baek Yushin, couldn’t grow due to group bullying and ended up taking his own life. It was clear that things had gone very wrong.
But what happened before was none of Yushin’s business. As for reinforcement, that is, combat power, it wasn’t much of a problem. The real issue was the current situation.
‘If this is a scenario like a web novel, the masterminds would have been progressing their plans all this time.’
There was definitely a mastermind here. To give a simple example, the one who turned Instructor Lee Youngseok into an ogre. That entity was probably the mastermind.
However, the masterminds are not just idly playing around.
Each of them would have been progressing with their plans, and the protagonist’s party somehow stops them. That’s the basic gist. But the protagonist, Baek Yushin, couldn’t do that because his growth had stagnated.
What does that mean?
Simply put, it’s like a group project that hasn’t been done at all.
It’s like having a presentation tomorrow.
In a word, it was a disaster.
The masterminds in the main scenario, at least those appearing in the early to mid-stages, would have achieved their goals. Most of them would appear before us in a stronger form.
Yushin, who only had fragmentary information, had no choice but to make such a judgment, and it wasn’t entirely wrong. Although Hyunwoo had taken on Baek Yushin’s role.
Unfortunately, due to his lack of ability.
He produced results that were less than the original scenario. Of course, Hyunwoo himself was satisfied, but that choice significantly increased the difficulty of the scenario.
“Oppa, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, it’s not wrong.”
As Yushin had been silent for a while, Yuri, who had been quietly watching, apologized to Yushin. She thought her brother was in a bad mood because of her.
Thinking about it continuously won’t change much.
It’s just a matter of taking action during that time. And surprisingly, it didn’t take long for Yushin to act. As soon as Kang Seolyeon left, trouble arose.
Class S was greatly twisted compared to the main scenario.
In the original scenario, the student council and the disciplinary committee should have reconciled to some extent through Yushin’s efforts. However, due to the twist, that didn’t happen.
Thanks to that, villains who should have clashed with and been separated from the protagonist Baek Yushin were still in Class S. For example, like the big guy who appeared in front of Yushin now.
“Hey.”
“?”
“Come with me for a moment.”
Not only was he being rude on the first meeting, but he was also beckoning with his finger to follow. What is this? A new type of suicide hopeful? Or just fearless?
It was absurd, but thanks to Seolyeon’s explanation, Yushin immediately saw through the opponent’s identity. Seeing the white badge, it seemed to be the student council.
Since he had heard the explanation from the disciplinary committee earlier, Yushin judged that it wouldn’t be bad to get information from the student council this time, so he held back and took a step.
“Oppa, the atmosphere doesn’t seem good.”
“You guys stay here.”
“Y-Yushin, we can’t let you go alone.”
“I can see your legs trembling from here. Athena, protect them.”
“Leave it to me.”
Maybe it was because of the atmosphere. Even the usually strong-willed Yuri was saying it didn’t feel good and suggested ignoring it, let alone the timid Hayoung.
I understand those feelings well.
To Yushin, it looked like nothing but a trap. However, for the sake of information, there was no other choice. Besides, to be honest, he didn’t think he would lose.
There were about three boys from the student council. They took Yushin to an empty classroom where no one was around. Even as he was being dragged, Yushin looked around.
It seemed that each floor of the special education building had its own territory. The first and second floors were used by the student council, and the third and fourth floors were used by the disciplinary committee. Something like that.
As evidence, the areas guided by Seolyeon, the head of the disciplinary committee, were only the third and fourth floors. And as soon as they came down to the second floor, the student council immediately picked a fight.
“I have a lot of questions for you.”
“Who the hell is this guy?”
“Is he out of his mind?”
The two boys who had been smoking on the desks in the classroom looked at Yushin with incredulous expressions as he confidently walked in.
They had called him to educate the new recruit. They never dreamed he would act so fearlessly. But Yushin didn’t care.
He had no intention of showing them the reaction they wanted. Eventually, one of the student council members, unable to hold back, grabbed Yushin by the collar.
“Is this guy crazy?”
Their purpose was to show their authority as seniors, but also to prevent the promising juniors from surpassing them.
Once you enter Class S,
there’s no doubt about your talent.
Of course, they also had undeniable talent to have entered Class S, but even among geniuses, there are different levels.
For instance, Selena, a second-year student, could use her awakening ability. But the fact that those who entered Class S couldn’t use their awakening ability yet already gave the answer, didn’t it?
So they kept the new recruits in check.
They pressured them as much as possible to delay their talents from blooming. If the juniors rose up, it would be the seniors who would lose their positions.
“What the hell, you punk?”
If there was one problem,
“Your words are too short.”
it was that they picked the wrong opponent.
* * *
Words have a stronger power than you might think.
Because they contain all of a person’s thoughts and emotions. Seolyeon, the head of the disciplinary committee, had no intention of ignoring that meaning. For example, regarding Yuri’s outburst.
Why did that child shout with such a hateful voice?
It came as quite a shock to Seolyeon. Although she didn’t show it, she believed she was doing a decent job of changing the academy.
But today, that firm belief was slightly shaken. What if there was something she didn’t know? What if, in fact, nothing had changed at the academy?
She couldn’t just stand by. Whatever it was, she had to find out for herself.
As soon as Seolyeon made a decision, she immediately took action. Sitting quietly and just thinking is not her style. You have to act to change things.
It wasn’t that difficult to find out.
The rest of Class C, except for Baek Yushin and Yoo Hayoung, were either expelled or forcibly transferred to another academy as a strong punishment.
Thanks to this, Seolyeon was able to easily find out what had happened. The result was more shocking than expected. Not only was there group bullying in Class C.
Even the so-called Sword Saints of the first year persistently bullied Yushin. In other words, Yuri, as the victim’s sister, couldn’t stand it and expressed her anger.
‘Foolish, I was lost in petty satisfaction and missed the truth.’
There is a reason. If she wanted to make excuses, she could. As the conflict with the student council intensified, she unconsciously had no time to pay attention to them.
But Seolyeon did not make excuses for herself. This is clearly her mistake. While trying to make a better academy, she missed these things.
How ridiculous must Yuri, the victim’s family, have found it? However, if there is a mistake, fix what can be fixed immediately. Seolyeon sighed and said.
“I need to have a proper conversation with Yushin tomorrow.”
“Who are you going to talk to?”
“Hmm? Oh, I mean Baek Yushin. He just joined Class S.”
“…….”
Unfortunately, Hyunwoo, who was eating with Seolyeon, overheard this. Hyunwoo’s eyes began to burn with hatred.
