Chapter 198

No Need to Look with Such Surprised Eyes

Go Jaeyeong entered through the classroom back door.

Because my seat the very back by the window almost a straight course.

I put down the approval documents looking.

My and Go Jaeyeong’s eyes met in the air.

“What matter?”

I turned the chair round and stepped down on the floor.

Before Go Jaeyeong answered, small heads inserted between Go Jaeyeong and my vision.

Our class kids.

“Jeong-hyeok good kid!”

“Gave us candy and chocolate bar and cookies like this!”

“Kid bullying a kid staying still bad kid!”

“Fighting bad!”

Gathered and shout even trembling.

Our class piyaks blocking saying will do the snack price received?

Unexpected favor.

“Why acting up in others’ class?”

“Return to your class! Will call teacher!”

“Our class teacher tyrant Tyranno? Extremely scary!”

Go Jaeyeong slightly tilted the head and looked at the kids with crooked eyes.

“Move.”

“Oh, said don’t come!”

“Said move.”

“Eohuk!”

Even boldly blocking brief.

If Go Jaeyeong advances retreats hesitantly exactly that much.

Somehow even next class kids flocked and looking into our class with interesting expressions.

“Seems fighting again.”

“1 class boss that one? There extremely handsome kid.”

“So the transfer student targeted?”

“How 1 class kids tightly united and blocking?”

“1 class unity not joke. Boss really strong seems!”

What boss.

Because the homeroom teacher’s extreme favoritism pouring, kids couldn’t even dare touch me.

“Okay so move.”

I pushed through between the kids and stood facing Go Jaeyeong.

Go Jaeyeong looked at me as if absurd.

“Skill also good? Minions really many.”

“What minions. Same class friends. Refrain from rude words.”

I glanced at the wall clock.

“Break time almost ending. Matter?”

“······.”

“Heard looking for me.”

I scanned Go Jaeyeong up and down.

Appearance messy whether fighting with next class kids.

Fully flushed face, breath choosing heaving shoulders, residual hair stuck to the face because of sweat, disheveled ponytail, disheveled clothes.

“Looks tired.”

“Nothing to care?”

“For reference I’m the principle not avoiding fights that come.”

“Who said came to pick fight?”

Go Jaeyeong tightly frowned.

“Lend English book a bit.”

“······.”

Our class piyaks blocking in front of me of course even other class kids crowded in the hallway and doorway couldn’t hide absurdity.

“English book?”

“No, saying made this fuss borrowing English book?”

“Then why fought with next class bosses?”

Go Jaeyeong sighed sweeping the residual hair stuck with sweat.

“Didn’t know elementary school 1st grade learns English.”

That correct.

U-gwang private school a bit fussy on the academic side.

Other textbooks would be Ministry of Education common, but school discretion class separate again.

“Only you known kid······ ah, annoying.”

Making a humiliating expression what this.

I smiled faintly and opened the desk drawer rattle.

Took out the English textbook and English notebook and held out to Go Jaeyeong.

“Here.”

Ding dong daeng dong~

Class bell rang.

Go Jaeyeong turned with a whoosh.

“Owing favor only today.”

Absolutely not saying thank you even if dying.

Indeed seems that woman I know correct.

-Owing favor······ only this time.

Even spitting such sound while carried on my back covered in blood.

Even when young that speech habit, the same?

* * *

These few days school life becoming tiring because of Go Jaeyeong.

Because our class piyaks’ interest all tilted this way.

“Jeong-hyeok, how know that transfer student?”

“You two close?”

“So came to borrow English book.”

If knew would be like this should not have lent the English book?

“If you and that one fight who wins?”

Well. Don’t know because not properly fought?

‘Looking into that woman, knife using skill particularly art.’

Dagger hit rate also, gun handling skill also considerable level.

Degree okay seeing as skilled professional killer.

‘Calculating saw great benefit from the three months training learned from that woman.’

Three months time too short to acquire practical martial arts.

Still because clinging all day weapon handling skill noticeably improved.

After that I steadily dug into military killing martial arts and could obtain great results.

Thanks to I who was merely ‘a guy who fights quite in the back alley’ from some point called ‘a skilled person counted on fingers in this floor’.

“That transfer student, knocked down all 1st grade bosses except our class!”

“Not even a week since transferred?”

“Already five 2nd grade bosses who charged hearing rumors broken.”

“Nonsense! How 1st grade beats 2nd grade?”

“That a girl!”

The reason kids fully excited and exhaling nose breath.

‘Indeed in such little kid times 1 year difference in development state quite large.’

Not only difference in height and weight.

Difference coming from reflexes and muscle control, balance sense and athletic ability larger.

‘In little kid times when male and female physical ability difference doesn’t widen tremendously. So Go Jaeyeong also can fight quite.’

In young times occasionally girls taller and stronger than boys with good development state visible.

But experiencing puberty the difference between male and female greatly widens.

‘Still strictly gender difference exists. Kids know that so cheering like that.’

Kids tensed nerves on Go Jaeyeong’s news.

News burst about once a day.

Yesterday won fighting someone, today won fighting someone again.

All such news though.

“That one’s body movement not joke. Learned something like Chinese martial arts?”

“Don’t know up to that, but taekwondo definitely not. Don’t learn such chokes.”

“Surely pro wrestling? Like this bang! Like that puk! Joints art!”

“Maybe judo. Seeing grabbing collar and slamming professional.”

No.

I shook the head.

When the smuggling king threw and stuck the knife preparing mackerel, Yu Jong-tae also recognized.

-Seems lived mercenary life long? Israeli practical martial arts.

Israeli practical martial arts, Krav Maga.

Martial arts that systematized practical adaptive street fights occurring in back alleys or streets and began educated as Jews’ defense means.

‘Because modern military martial arts focused on survival killing power excellent.’

Began gradually introducing to training led by US CIA, FBI, Delta Force.

Also taught in special forces and PMC and overseas dispatch units of several countries.

“Surely like this the transfer student knocking down all our school bosses?”

“Ei, no matter still not against 6th grade brothers.”

“Think if stone held in that one’s hand. 6th grade brothers heads also break?”

“Ya, size difference this much! If that one holds stone 6th grade brothers hold iron pipes!”

No matter how strong the transfer student not against someone, who stronger.

Flocking and piyaking every break time every day.

Ears hurt.

“Why the transfer student not touched only our class?”

“By any chance because of Jeong-hyeok?”

As if waited our class piyaks looked back at me.

Sparkling sparkling eyes very burdensome.

“Surely that transfer student, not liking Jeong-hyeok?”

“Somehow! Excluding only our class and going to hit 2nd grade bosses.”

“Jeong-hyeok extremely handsome. Makes sense.”

What makes sense?

You wrongly pointed firmly wrongly pointed?

Several methods if method to shut that noisy mouth.

“Person eating bear jelly?”

“Me! Me!”

“Me too!”

“Jeong-hyeok, let’s be best friends from today!”

Piyaks without distinction you me held out fern-like hands sparkling eyes.

Indeed this method easiest and fastest.

* * *

After Go Jaeyeong transferred noisy days continued.

In some meaning seems quite tremendous.

‘Seems no need to fight so noisily though.’

Because an act I absolutely wouldn’t commit.

Because becoming uselessly tired this and that exactly dislike.

‘Back alley fight chickens all such.’

Because strength overflowing,

Because wanting to show off strength,

Because have to prove with strength.

In the back alley no day fights stop.

Whether I want, or not want, the result have to fight doesn’t change.

I also lived so.

‘Now a bit quiet.’

Classroom quite peaceful whether because all kids returned home.

I remained because duty.

“Erased the blackboard, washed and dried milk cartons.”

“Washed and hung the rag, washed the water kettle and water cups and overturned on the drying rack.”

“Now only throwing trash at the trash incinerator end? U, dislike.”

The duty girl who remained and cleaned up with me shuddered looking at the trash can.

“Huk, cockroach!”

Tak.

I hit and caught with the broom holding.

Swept and threw in the trash can, the duty girl screamed and stamped feet.

“How throwing cockroach in the trash can!”

“Then where throw?”

“Th, that······! So that······!”

“Dislike bugs?”

“Horrible!”

The duty girl said as if about to cry.

“Where the side threw the cockroach? I will hold the opposite handle.”

“Enough. I will throw this.”

“Heavy.”

“Not particularly.”

I lifted the trash can with a whoosh.

“Worked hard today. See tomorrow.”

“······Really trying alone?”

“Yes.”

“Th, thank you······.”

The duty girl fiddled fingers.

“Then tomorrow I will wash all milk cartons. Kettle and water cups too.”

“Enough. What’s this special.”

Trudge trudge.

I headed to the trash incinerator holding the trash can.

The duty girl followed from afar carrying the backpack.

Said okay to just go twice, but don’t know the reason following to the end even answering ‘yes’ obediently.

Opened the trash incinerator door and entered inside.

Rustle rustle.

Some small head squatting and busily searching trash.

Not knowing the ponytail fully disheveled pushing aside trash piled like a mountain,

Not knowing clothes dirtying,

“Ah······!”

Even not caring blood dripping from the hand cut by broken glass pieces.

No leisure searching trash mindlessly.

I put down the trash can tak.

“Go Jaeyeong, what doing there?”

“Have something looking for.”

“What looking for?”

“Important item.”

Go Jaeyeong busily searched trash without even looking back.

Every time blood dripping thud thud yet not caring.

“This one about to have big trouble.”

I grabbed Go Jaeyeong’s wrist.

“Treat the wound first.”

“No time for that.”

“Hand mess. Know?”

Not only the wound cut by broken glass pieces.

Hand black because soot remaining from burning stuck, small cut wounds not one or two places.

“Let go this.”

Go Jaeyeong tried to shake off the held hand.

But I tightly gripped changing wrist snap.

Go Jaeyeong tried several more times to shake off the hand but useless.

Quite strong for a girl but only that.

The technique of detaching the held hand and counterattacking terrible.

“What looking for like this?”

“Mind your business.”

Go Jaeyeong shouted nervously.

“Not even looking together.”

“Can look together.”

No need to look with such surprised eyes.

“Said important item. What?”

“······.”

“Two hands better than one hand. Moreover both my hands fine.”

“······Necklace.”

Go Jaeyeong bit lips.

“Looking for the necklace with locket.”

Only then could understand why Go Jaeyeong searching so crazily.

The necklace this woman always wore.

Even though the photo put inside the locket already ruined as much as ruined hard recognizing original state.

The woman habitually opened the locket every night and looked for a while.

“Why looking for that here?”

“Said threw in the trash can.”

Came sense what situation turning.

This intentional.

“Have to find before burning trash.”

“I will look so you go to the health room first.”

“Have to look together. My item.”

“If wound opens more have to sew, if bacterial infection may have to cut off.”

“······!”

I rolled up sleeves.

Grabbed the long tongs placed in the trash incinerator.

“Don’t be stubborn.”

“How trust you······!”

Click.

Someone locked the trash incinerator door from outside.

This also clear intentional.

Tak.

I bumped fingers.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’
