"Huh…? Eu? Yes? Yes… I-I see."

An Eun-young's face instantly turned red.

She tried to answer but couldn't speak. Then An Eun-young raised her finger like she suddenly remembered something.

“Ah, right. The student adviser said for you to go see him straight away…'

“Well. Maybe this incident has even entered the ears of the teachers. Either that, or Park Sung-kwang is planning to beat me."

"L-Let's go together…! I will tell Teacher-nim that Tae-hyuk did nothing wrong!"

Tae-hyuk shook his head.

"No. Recently I have become friendly with Class President."

"Uh, yes. Friendly."

"Then would they believe Class President's claim of my innocence?"

An Eun-young was dumbfounded at Tae-hyuk's words.

"S-Still!"

“I will go to the office now."

“Then I’ll be waiting at the door!”

Despite his words, An Eun-young still wanted to come along.

Tae-hyuk chose not to refuse anymore.

*     *     *

Once he went to the office, the student adviser greeted him more angrily than usual.

“Tae-hyuk! Tae-hyuk! Tae-hyuk! Hey, you son of a bitch. Why did you do it? It has only been a few days since you promised to be reborn. Yes?"

"I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"You bastard! I know. I know it all! Don't try to lie and deceive me. Tell the truth, and I will consider extenuating your circumstances.

"I really don't know what you’re talking about."

"This bastard… Denying it until the end! There was a witness, a witness! Did you think no one saw you when you hit a student last night? His leg was broken so badly that he has at least 12 weeks of recovery! I thought you were a good person who got into small trouble. Have I been deceived? Say something, you son of a bitch."

Tae-hyuk couldn't even laugh due to the sheer absurdity of the situation.

“I harmed a student?"

"Hah! It seems I was mistaken about you. Showing no signs of remorse and reflection after brazenly hurting someone. Who? Kim Jin-soo! I went to the hospital last night and saw him. He was beaten half to death."

"……"

Tae-hyuk clenched his hands into tight fists.

He had thought that it was just a bunch of rumors. But someone was really hurt?

Kim Jin-soo, who had been fine just yesterday, was now in the hospital. What really happened?

'Park Sung-kwang. You really went this far.'

He had broken the leg of his follower just to frame Tae-hyuk.

Tae-hyuk felt anger boiling inside of him.

"Ahyu. This shameless guy. In my heart, I want to make you exactly like Jin-soo. Yet, I'm very sad because I can't. At any rate, a disciplinary committee will be held after the test tomorrow. This will probably result in a suspension or worse. By the way, I will be strongly arguing that you be expelled."

"Is that so?"

The smile disappeared from Tae-hyuk's face.

Expulsion. If An Eun-young wouldn't separate herself from him, then would they be kicked out of school together?

Tae-hyuk felt a fierce anger towards the man called Park Sung-kwang.

“You are still denying it like this until the end! Very well, you can go now.”

“Oh, by the way, Teacher-nim. Have you ever received a bribe from Park Sung-kwang?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Nothing. Keep up the good work."

Tae-hyuk left the office without looking back.

*     *     *

An Eun-young, who had been listening to the conversation outside, looked like she was about to cry.

"T-Tae-hyuk… R-really. I'm s-sorry…"

Tae-hyuk smiled and stroked her head.

“No, I should be the one to say sorry. In fact, I even wanted to play this little game at first."

“P-play?"

“But now, I think that I should go to war."

He had planned to steal the test paper submitted by Park Sung-kwang and make him sit in the re-test alone.

But that wasn't enough anymore.

This was a dirty fight where one of the two people had to be finished.

Either Seo Tae-hyuk would be expelled, or Park Sung-kwang would be ruined. 

 "Hrmm. I thought something like this would happen after I threw the bait."

Shortly after Park Sung-kwang had declared war, Tae-hyuk had called his father's secretary and laid a trap. If it worked properly, then it would be very fatal for Park Sung-kwang.

And…

Tae-hyuk explained his plan to An Eun-young.

Her cooperation was necessary in order for it to be successful.

"… I'll give it a try. But will it really succeed? It seems to heavily rely on luck…"

Tae-hyuk replied in a confident voice.

“I will do it somehow. Believe in me."

"Uh, yes. I trust you."

'Phew. I sound so irresponsible since she doesn't know about the Demon Revealing Mirror. It is good that she still believes in me.'

Tae-hyuk inwardly sighed with relief. An Eun-young trusted him to such a strange degree.

Of course, he had no intention of betraying her.

“Then, shall I start the cheating?"
