The Law of Webnovels-Chapter 512
Chapter 512: Chapter 512
.
Before taking immediate action, the guy shortly exchanged eye contact with Jung Yohan, who just observed the situation, standing aside with his arms crossed.
When Jung Yohan nodded, the guy turned his head back to Eun Hyung and roared confidently, “You bastard!! I have no idea what you just did, but that won’t work for me! How dare you attempt to get the Number o…”
Before he got to finish his sentence, Eun Hyung knocked him down with a single blow. The guy flew all the way to the end of the stage.
Watching the guy rolling over and over on the wooden stage like a spring roll, the host revealed mixed feelings on his face. He switched his gaze to Eun Hyung.
“I didn’t announce the start of the game, so what you just did is a foul play,” he said.
“Ah, really? Then, am I suspended?”
“Our rule doesn’t allow anyone being suspended. We should just… have a rematch.”
“I will, then,” replied Eun Hyung with no hesitation.
The host walked toward the guy with short and quick steps then carefully asked if he wanted a rematch. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand as a gesture of surrender.
On the other hand, Eun Hyung seemed to have no interest in where this game was heading to.
“Oh, but throwing a fist is indeed convenient. My uniform isn’t torn out, is it?” he exclaimed, touching his sleeves.
Someone whispered, “Do his parents own a school uniform shop?”
Even I couldn’t deny it. Feeling a mild headache, I turned my head back to Eun Hyung as I heard Yeo Ryung say, “I wish he could worry about himself just the half of him being concerned about his school uniform.”
That was all we wanted for now.
Amid the complicated and weird silence, Eun Hyung’s fight began, at last. Jung Yohan, who just watched the situation with his arms crossed until that moment, finally put all his henchmen to the game.
However, Eun Hyung didn’t show any signs of fatigue while dealing with the endlessly lunging guys. Moving as minimally but efficiently as possible, he knocked them out one after another. Even those who weren’t Jung Yohan’s henchmen but intervened in the fight from time to time, expecting that Eun Hyung would now feel exhausted, just left the stage with a blink of an eye after Eun Hyung’s punch and kick.
There was now a distance between the spot, where Eun Hyung was fighting, and the people surrounding it.
Watching the sight with mixed feelings, I stood up from my seat. I quietly told Ban Yeo Ryung, “Let me go to the bathroom.”
“Uh, yeah,” she replied nonchalantly, fastening her gaze upon the stage. Usually, she would have joined me on the way to the bathroom, but since this was a breathtaking battle, she seemed to keep her eye out until the end.
I walked across the seats alone and pushed the door to step outside.
Looking around the interior of Sung Woon Science High School’s gym, I emitted a whoop. The entire tile flooring in the hallway was shining like a mirror in the pouring sunlight through the glass wall.
“What a facility!”
Attending a prestigious high school where characters in web novels went, I was quite used to the extravagant interiors and facilities, but this school also looked as fancy and well-equipped as ours.
Each locker and shower room that could be seen along the hallway were all so magnificent like those for the members of the national teams.
It was fun to have a small school tour, but anyway, where was the bathroom? I frowned while recalling the memory of myself being lost on my way to find the bathroom.
Back then, when Eun Jiho asked me for going to the corporate party with him, I was lost, wandering around the top floor of Hotel Juno where I finally bumped into Yoo Chun Young’s oldest brother, Yoo Gun.
‘It’s still so humiliating… How foolish am I?!’ I shook my head, thinking about the embarrassing moment. Then the sign of the women’s bathroom came into view, just in time.
“Wow, thank God!”
With a bright look on my face, I dashed toward that side, but at the same time, I asked myself, ‘You remember the way back, right?’
Anyway, that didn’t matter for now. The moment I tried to fling open the bathroom door, someone seemed to be inside.
I quickly released my hand from the doorknob. Since today was a weekend, only those who were here to watch the Ranking Battle would be using the bathroom.
Most of the people in the audience seat seemed to be just normal students, but they also looked quite threatening too…
‘Should I just wait outside?’ While I wondered for a second, someone murmured from inside the bathroom.
“… Geez… everything’s screwed up…”
The voice sounded spooky as if the person was doing an ouija board. But, hold on… did the person just say, everything’s screwed up? What the heck was that?
I wasn’t sure whether I should keep eavesdropping or not, so I just stood still, rubbing the doorknob. The murmuring continued through the gap between the slightly open door.
“How did it go this way? It can’t happen… Ah, I don’t know. Am I just getting it wrong? No, I am not…”
After hesitation, I opened the door and stepped inside. Although I wasn’t sure what was going on, the person seemed to be less threatening according to the voice.
Indeed, only a girl who looked like a middle school student was inside. Looking pale, she was standing in front of the sink, placing her hands on it, but once I came into her sight, she put them down with a flinch.
Looking at her face reflected in the mirror, I blinked and thought, ‘She’s the girl I saw in the audience seat?’ While everyone was hanging on the balustrade dangerously, she was the only one keeping her seat with no interest in the overall situation.
As I stared at her obviously, the girl was in a fluster, then she turned on the water and began to wash her hands.
Quickly closing the faucet, she didn’t try to dry her wet hands, but instead, came toward my direction.
The moment she walked past me closely to step outside the bathroom, for some reason, I had a strong sense of déjàvu. It was an utterly different feeling that I had from when I saw her earlier.
Then, at last, I realized where this weird sensation came from.
“Oh, you’re the… the girl… who bumped into me in Balhae Hospital…!” I shouted.
She was the mysterious little girl with a hoodie on who quickly ran away from the bodyguards of Yoo Chun Young’s family and bumped into me! After she stopped by at the hospital, both Eun Hyung and Yoo Chun Young’s fathers woke up from coma simultaneously like a miracle. Thus, I had a suspicion that she could be a saint or a person with supernatural powers.
Ever since she heard the word, ‘Balhae Hospital,’ the girl looked already so pale like a sheet of paper. Just as I approached her, she strongly pushed me away and quickly ran outside.
‘Hey, come on! I didn’t say anything harsh… What’s wrong with her? That makes her more suspicious!’ Rambling those thoughts in mind, I soon recovered my balance and ran after her hurriedly.
Both of us dashed outside the bathroom and ran full speed along the hallway of the gym.
The smooth and gorgeous-looking tile floors now felt so slippery and uncomfortable. Trying not to stumble down a couple of times, I shouted, “Hey, let’s talk for a minute! You don’t need to run away when I’m just asking you for a talk! Do you feel guilty or what?! You won’t be something like a superhero or an alien!”
I wouldn’t be doing an alien autopsy or what, so I had no idea why she was escaping that way. It was her mistake, of course, to break into a patient room without permission, but since the result wasn’t bad, no one would put her into trouble.
That was when the girl glanced back, gasping, and yelled, “It’s me who wanna ask, who are you?!”
“WHAT?”
She deserved to be interrogated, but why on earth was she asking about my identity? Feeling so dumbfounded, my running speed turned slow.
If she aimed for this effect, that little girl was clever, but the more I thought about her question, it didn’t make sense because her voice sounded so sincere.
She retorted again, “You shouldn’t be here! Everything screwed up because of you! It’s all because of you!!”
“What?!”
Her words weren’t negligible that I finally stopped running and stood still on the spot.
Soon, I pulled myself together and chased her again. When I ran around the corner, she disappeared like a ghost.
As if the chase just now was something that happened in my dreamland, the hallway was empty. Glancing around, I mumbled, “Where did she go out of the blue…?”
