*I'm sorry if different nation characters might've interacted with some things that are controversial in real life that might be referenced here. Deeply sorry.*
* Or perhaps some of the names here might've been referred to as real-time people, I'm sorry if it's kinda the same for prominent people since I'm kinda new with Korean namings. I'll try my best for the naming research. Please understand. Thank you. *
[ April 2017 ]
" Father? " Shim Jun-woo asks as he sees his father, Shim Kyungmin who suddenly interfered with the clashing blow.
Shim Kyungmin comes in, he looks around the place and sees Park Gi-mu who lies on the ground.
" Park Gi-mu, huh? " Shim Kyungmin asks.
" So this is the scholarship boy whom you said to be 'smarter' than my boy, Choi Woo-jin? " Shim Kyungmin asks as he sees Park Gi-mu in his petty state.
" Help my...mother... " Park Gi-mu pleads while crawling and touching his dead mother's body.
Shim Kyungmin sees this and feels disgusted at seeing Gi-mu's plea. Seeing this, Choi Woo-jin smirks while Shim Jun-woo is startled while thinking to himself what is actually going on.
"( Why is father here? And why the Choi Clan Leader is smiling like that? )" Jun-woo wonders.
" Disgusting... " Shim Jun-woo says suddenly and quickly stops on Park Gi-mu's body.
" FATHER! WHAT ARE YOU- "
" SHUT UP, BOY! " Shim Kyungmin says while stomping Gi-mu even harder to the ground, making the ground around them shatter.
" A spoiled boy who loses their intellect to the likes of this commoner shouldn't dare to lecture me! " Shim Kyungmin says to Jun-woo.
" What!? what do you- "
" I said, how dare you ranked below this 'peasant insect' in your class!? " Shim Kyungmin shouts and asks which made Jun-woo stutter.
" Class Ranking? why are you bringing that now, father, why- " Jun-woo then sees Woo-jin smirks even more.
"( If I remember correctly, father always wanted me to be the top student in the class, which always happens before Gi-mu comes in. )"
"( He wants me to be that since he was also like that during his young times, just like the forefathers before him. )"
"( For father and his forefather, always gloat about them and their children being more prestigious than the other Noble Clan kids... )"
"( If that's the case... )"
"( Don't tell me... )"
" Principal Choi! Is this your doing!? " Jun-woo asks Principal Choi as he rolls his tongue to tease Jun-woo.
" M*therf- " Jun-woo prepares to strike but Kyungmin quickly hit his stomach with [Needle Palm Strike].
" KUOKH! "
" I hear it all, from the Principal, Jun-woo... "
" He told me that you have been busy hanging around while neglecting your class rankings. "
" Which let this peasant insect be the top of your class and not you, unacceptable! "
" Father, why are you... *scoffs*, bringing this... "
" Gi-mu is... "
" It doesn't matter if he dies or not! " Kyungmin says to Jun-woo.
" What matters is, is you still in the top rank in your 'goddamn' academy, so I can still gloat out your achievement towards the other Clans as my son! "
" For I can't hear the other Clans, mocking me by saying that 'My son's ranking is below that of a peasant commoner insect', I can't hear that! " Kyungmin shouts even more and then punched Jun-woo's back into the ground.
" Sloppy, no wonder your Academic Ranking is dethroned by a commoner, fool! "
" Now stay there while I make sure you're at the top again, fool! " Shim Kyungmin leaves Jun-woo as the weakened Jun-woo sees his father kicking the life out of Park Gi-mu's frail body.
" Peasants shouldn't dare, outcompete, the nobles! " Kyungmin kicks Gi-mu in his hot-headed state.
" Kuokh! " Gi-mu still manage to hold on, while he 'somehow', managed to 'regenerate', even after his Gift Core ripped out.
" What's this, the body's slowly healed? " Shim Kyungmin asks as he sees Gi-mu's slow and frail regeneration.
" Mother, save.. her... " Gi-mu still talks like that while looking at Kyungmin.
" The 'Insect' Gift Ability is 'regeneration', Shim Clan Leader. " Choi Shin-jae tells him while giving Kyungmin a respectful bow.
" His Tier is Tier 2, his abilities are inherited from his dead mother beside him. "
" I've confirmed this while spying on his life for my Uncle since we need to consume both of their Gift Cores to cure his sickness. " Choi Shin-jae tells him more.
" The reason why he's able to survive this is because of his Inherited Gift, Kyungmin... " Choi Woo-jin adds.
" I just realized just now, I even dare to think that he lives because of his god's favor, what a mistake! "
" I see, so the Gift had been inherited not only by the 'core' but also inside the 'genetics', huh? "
" But still, I can't have this trash survive, or else the Government would find all of us guilty for doing all of this violence to a random civilian. "
" Those annoying commoners, who the hell let them in power in the nations' Government, anyways? "
" To even dare to interfere with the Noble Clan's laws, tsk! "
" They even dare to empower more commoner filth to be stronger and more prestigious like that of the nobles, how disgusting... "
" Filthy commoners like these... " Kungmin picks Gi-mu and his mother.
" What are you gonna do with them? " Choi Woo-jin asks Shim Kyungmin while Shim Kyungmin sees Park Gi-mu still slowly regenerate.
Without saying anything, Shim Kyungmin then uses his Gift Ability, Tier 4.5 [Volcanic Land Bend], and use the ability to dig a huge hole in the ground as he throws Park Gi-mu's dead mother first.
" Mo...ther... " Park Gi-mu tries to call his mother as he sees it faintly.
" Father, st- " Shim Jun-woo crawls from his place as he tries to recover and stop his hot-headed father.
Shim Kyungmin looks at Shim Jun-woo and then looks at Park Gi-mu who is faintly regenerating.
" Choi Woo-jin, this kid has weak physicality, yes? " he asks Woo-jin.
" Yes, Kyungmin, like any other who had the 'Supportive Type' Gift Ability. "
" Good, then this won't be a problem if I throw him here. " Shim Kyungmin says while Gi-mu faintly tries to see those around him.
"( Jun-woo-nim... )" he sees Shim Jun-woo who still crawls in the ground.
"( Choi Shin-jae. )" he sees Choi Shin-jae who looks at him and waves goodbye while rolling his tongue.
"( Principal Choi... )" he sees Choi Woo-jin who had just consumed his Gift Core.
"( And.. )" He sees Shim Kyungmin who grabs him by the neck, preparing to bury him.
" You have risen all too far, peasant! " Shim Kyungmin tells him.
" For you to educate yourself along with the nobles is such a blasphemy. "
" For you to not die even after your Gift Core is taken is also such a disgrace. " Kyungmin grips Gi-mu's neck tight.
" I will leave you here now. "
" If you are still able to regenerate, try crawling up, I dare you. "
" But still... " Kyungmin grips the neck even tighter.
" If you survive, I'll make sure to kill you again publically. "
" Over and over again. "
" So this is my advice, insect. "
" Don't try to survive, die. " Shim Kyungmin releases Gi-mu into the hole he made, burying him for good the four see the process properly as Shim Kyungmin bury all their crime shreds of evidence into the deepest of grounds.
" This mess is over. "
" After this, none should ever remember about this. "
" Even you, Jun-woo. " Kyungmin glares at Jun-woo who sees the whole thing in such a fragile state after receiving his father's technique, as he sees the whole thing with a traumatic look.
