“It’s not me who’s crazy, it’s you!”
Nam Soang’s atmosphere changed.
“Do you have any idea what you are doing? You know how big crime you committed, don’t you?”
“I know! I know very well!”
Then Nam Soang remembered something about the secret passage. The secret passage had been carefully kept secret. Secret passage being discovered was usually nothing because it was a passage that changed its ways on a certain cycle.
‘To think such passage have disappeared?’
Then possible leak of confidential information was probably from the man in front of him, Sung Kak.
“Is it you?”
“What do you mean?”
“The secret passage!”
“What about that?”
“The secret passage is gone! Did you informed the other teachers?”
“Hah!”
Sung Kak snorted.
“Did you guys even told me about it? I was only a guy cleaning after your mess.”
“….”
“Do you have anything left to say?”
“….”
“If you don’t have one, go. And don’t waste your youth in the useless T.Y.C. and live a better life!”
Sung Kak’s dismissal made Nam Soang to grind his teeth and be kicked out of residence.
“Whew.”
Standing in the yard and looking at Nam Soang, Sung Kak took a big breath.
“You must feel better.”
Sung Kak looked behind him. Kang Hyuk was standing in the yard.
“Yes, I feel much better.”
Sung Kak laughed.
“I almost died trying to hold back my desire to yell at him. And finally…”
Sung Kak’s eyes became tearful. It was because of all the suffering, and Kang Hyuk understood. Listening to Sung Kak’s situation last night, Kang Hyuk presented him with a plan. In usual circumstances, Sung Kak should have been terminated from his position right away. Discipline should have been strictly applied, but his situation was really sympathetic. Only man with his wife was dying, who will not touch the bribery was a cold-blooded or clogged man. Kang Hyuk suggested a voluntary retirement to avoid being kicked out of the Academy. And Kang Hyuk introduced him to a new job. It was none other than the martial arts instructor of the Ji Chulmook family. But Sung Kak chose to go back out to Murim.
He said he wanted to help others with his talent. Perhaps it was a choice for him to pay off his sins. Kang Hyuk supported the choice.
“Then the warrior I helped to join the academy…?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. He should have been kicked out, but we’re not going to do it because there are a lot of people who would be in trouble because of him. But.”
Kang Hyuk continued.
“He won’t get promoted. To a point that seems strange. When he stays below in rank than younger members, he will realize something.”
“Thank you very much.”
“You should thank Clan Leader, not me.”
“If I could, I will. Please thank him on my behalf.”
“Okay, what about those students?”
“Don’t worry about them, too. I’m not going have them kicked out.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you still worried about them?”
“They are still my students, aren’t they?”
Kang Hyuk grinned.
“I’ll see you at the morning meeting, then. You should say goodbye.”
“Of course.”
Nam Soang strode to the campsite.
“He dare slap me in the face and- what? Don’t lose your energy in useless things? How dare a teacher taking a bribe speak to me with such thing?’
He wasn’t going to let this slide. It was because the price for hitting him on the face was that he would be relieved only if he paid Sung Kak back.
‘A hand-written poster put on every building in Academy will be good enough! Hahaha!’
Already in his head, he was thinking of avenging his humiliation to Sung Kak without thinking about what he did.
“…?”
Then someone came up to him. Wearing the blue consent, he was intimidating from the very beginning. Nam Soang seemed to know who was before him. Only Superintendent’s escort had this kind of vibe to them.
“Student Nam Soang.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I’d like you to follow me for a moment.”
“N-no!”
With a hunch that something big would happen if he followed the guard, he refused, and ran away. But it was impossible. Guards were in a group of four so there was no way that these people who caught criminals or those infiltrating Academy professionally could not have caught students such as Nam Soang. Especially with the secret passage has disappeared.
Eventually, Nam Soang was captured by the guards.
“No, let go… … Nnngh!”
Guards had captured Nam Soang’s paralyzing blood seal, he could not bring anything out of his mouth.
“You punk! If you go, you will go!”
“Do you know how much trouble we ran into because of you guys?”
“Let’s go, then!”
They took Nam Soang to Superintendent’s office
