Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: To Higher Places

-Coin dropping on table . -

The 500 won that Jae-Hyuk threw was spinning on top of the table .

He looked pathetic .

"Do you want to get beaten up again? What kind of look is that, asshole!"

It seemed that nothing has changed .

'…I forgot to bring my nail clipper today! It was a mistake that would leave a great regret in my life . There was one that I received from the advisor grandpa…'

It was then .

-Punch . -

Jae-Hyuk's fist flew and hit me right in the chest .

"Aren't you out of it?"

With his cursing and punching, it got everyone's attention .

I quietly shook my head .

Fainted? No, it didn't hurt at all! Actually, it felt rather pleasant .

All the things that waste did, all of it came back to me one by one .

Firstly, with his one punch, I was sure, that this person's level is roughly about 40 since it has only been a year since he Awakened .

Even if he was a warrior class Awakened, he could not raise only his strength in the beginning .

It seemed that, in the beginning he raised his stamina and only after spring break started to put points into strength .

If that was the case, then it shouldn't even be 50 points .

If a normal person was hit with it, they would most likely instantly die on the spot .

But this trash, he threw his punch really well . 1

I was actually thankful, the thought of giving him a bit of mercy just went poof .

'This waste is now dead meat! Kuku, bastard, you better start asking for forgiveness!'

I turned my head and looked at him without being noticed by everyone else .

Out of my 18 years of life, this is the first time that I smiled a little .

The moment he saw that, he continued cursing and throwing another punch at me .

Then .

-Hand grabbing fist sound . -

With minimum effort, I easily grabbed the punch .

"Wha-what the? Let me go! Bastard! Shit!"

It seemed as though he was extremely shocked that his right hand was caught . He was giving it his all to try to regain his hand .

Those who were only spectating all had expressions of confusion .

Other than the trash Hwang Jae-Hyuk, I did not rage or lament at the rest of my classmates .

If I was in their shoes, I would only be a spectator as well .

'Yes, it seems for today, I need to be a blue pen teacher for this guy . '2

As I finished my thought, I laughed, looking straight into Jae-Hyuk's eyes .

-Evilly smiling sound effect . -

Then .

-Punch . -

"Ka . "

-Ruckus from tables falling over . -

While letting go of Jae-Hyuk's hand, I threw my fist into his chest .

Then, he instantly fell over .

"To the weak, you are strong, but to the strong, you are weak . "

I spoke while sitting atop of Jae-Hyuk .

"Those . "

-Punch . -

"Waste of people . "

-Punch . -

"Is why this world is shitty . Asshole . "

-Punch . -

I threw another punch into his chest .

The sudden rage towards him overlapped with the rage I had against the debt collectors .

-Panting from pain . -

I had placed 160 points into strength .

Every time I punched Jae-Hyuk, he screamed at the top of his lungs .

Despite that, he seem to have his pride, and looked towards the crowd .

My rage that was released, it was as if a dam had burst opened .

"It hurts, doesn't it? But you won't die quickly, and you won't bleed . Why? Because your stamina is great, isn't it?"

-Slap . -

Now I flattened out my hand and struck his cheek .

One more .

-Slap . -

"Ugh! This bastard!!!!! I will kill you!!!"

It seemed that after being struck in the face, he felt embarrassment, and thus he tried to struggle with all his might .

However .

To make sure that he could not move, I was pinning both his arms with my legs and he could only flail about uselessly .

"I guess you could take more hits? That's right, that way I don't feel guilty as I hit you . Please, struggle more!"

-More punching and slapping . -

Other than his cheeks, I hit him on the body where it wouldn't show .

After that, he raised his upper body and slowly tried to talk .

"Pant . Pant . You bastard . You're not going to get away with this . "

'This guy, only his mouth is still alive . '

Even though he was a person who was still alive, a scent of rotting decay emanated from him .

I did not want to hear a single word from this waste .

Finishing my thought, I took another step towards the talking man .

-Foot steps . -

"Do you know who I am? I am a Noblesse guild member… Shit, shit, don't come closer!"

As I came closer, he stopped talking and trembled .

Oho? A Noblesse guild member? 'Welcome, my brother!'

Then .

-Lightning flash . -

I raised my hand .

"Ee-eek! Do-don't come closer!"

As I raised my hand, he violently trembled .

Looking at him, I started to laugh .

And then, I lowered my hand and gently stroke his head .

"Class is going to start . Today's not the only day we can settle this, right? Jae-Hyuk?"

Hearing my words, Jae-Hyuk shook with rage before running away out of the classroom .

The classmates around me, all looked at me with worry, thinking, 'Is this a new devil that has appeared?'

To them, I said .

"I don't blame any of you! I would have done the same thing you guys did . But did you know? That the scariest thing in the world is not trash like Jae-Hyuk, but those who are silent!?"

'Wow, I'm really cool! This is why all the girls fall for me! Tonight, if I do really well in bed, I feel like this would be the best moment in my life!'3

It was a line that I was proud of . I hope I don't remember this in the future…

-Bell ringing . -

The bell that signified the first class after summer break rang .

As soon as the teacher entered, I raised my hand and said .

"Teacher, Jae-Hyuk went to the restroom!"

***

After that, Jae-Hyuk did not return to school for over a week . He must have been very embarrassed…

Oh well, it didn't matter . I could hear how he's doing through master Park Hyun .

He was working hard learning strategies about the level 12th dungeon .

Any time that I wanted to bully him, I could simply go over and bully him .

After that incident, I became a super star at school .

Out of the 1000 students, only 3 became Awakened, and one of those was me .

And I had an incredible growth rate during the summer break, taking the highest ranking for myself .

I used to look down upon Jae-Hyuk who slept in school all day, but I became just like him .

If it wasn't education that was required by the nation, I would have escape and go hunt in the hunting zones .

From 5PM to 5AM, I stayed in the hunting zones .

I could not give up my 12 hours of hunting a day .

Because I did not have any down time, I was able to hunt 3-4 hours more than the average Awakened .

And because of that, yesterday, I reached level 61 .

With all the money that I earned, I was able to purchase a skull ring, a skill book and was now leaving the market .

After waiting for four days since I ordered, I was finally able to receive the ring .

It was a very popular ring .

This ring had strength +20 .

The 20 strength was nearly 25,000,000 won . 4

Of course, if I counted it in levels, it was a 4 levels difference .

However, something more surprising than that, was the cost of the skill book .

Even though it was only a warrior class skill book, it was 120,000,000 won . 5

A ridiculous price if I say so myself .

To get to the higher level dungeons, it was a choice I had to make .

Two days ago, to make sure the debt collectors couldn't say a thing, I gave them 100,000,000 won .

It was a warning to not bother us for the time being .

If I kept growing at this rate, then I guess I would have to worry about if I should dip the anchovy in soy sauce or hot sauce . 6

I had no thoughts of paying off the rest of the debt, maybe the cost for reparation after I crush them .

With that thought, I also thought that I needed to convince my mother…
