The bell rang waking Gyun up, he felt refreshed as he sat up in his chair, he stretched his arms as leaned back in his chair. He looked around in class it looked like the class had filled up while he was sleeping, everybody was looking at the front of the class.
Gyun leaned to the side to get a better look at the front of the class where some sort of commotion was going on. But people were blocking his view, he heard some thuds and and some crying through all the commotion. -Damn someones getting their asses kicked, well guess bullies and delinquent are everywhere, but not my problem-. He leaned back in his seat, as he grabbed his binder out for the first class.
"Hey you fuckers didn't I pay you more then 1 million won for protection, last semester, and those guys from Gangbuk beat the shit out of me! I'm just asking you to either deal with them or just give me some of my money back! You take money from us every week but you don't even do anything! All I want is for you to beat up that fucker from East Gangbuk technical! I'll even give you 3 million won!"
Gyun's head perked up, - extortion through protection fee's, I'm familiar with this, and 3 million won, thats's quite the sum for a high schooler he must be one of those rich kids who goes here. Perhaps I should intervene, after all that's a lot of money....no let's observe for a bit longer, I'm sure there's a reason why 3 million won isn't enough for these guys-.
Gyun tried to look through the crowd and he caught view of someone on the ground and a group of 3 tough looking guy's. -They look capable enough to take on most, they must be athletes-. "Hey Jin Cheon you know the reason Chen Ji is not someone our school wants to mess with, there's a reason why he leads most of Gangbuk. It's your bad luck for annoying him, all the money in the world won't protect you from a monster like him, so just shut up and pay up for causing a scene."
Most wouldn't be able to hear since it was whispered but Gyun with his superhuman senses picked it up. -Hmm someone needs someone else beat up, but the person they need beat up is strong and has connections. Oh this must be one of those student gang things, I remember they were surprisingly organized even in middle school, yeah those pricks didn't mess with me because the school and my skill made me untouchable. From the numbers that whiner's throwing around it seems pretty profitable- Gyun was quickly formulating a plan as the commotion settled down as the kid payed up and the kids left.
Everybody went back to their seats to socialize since the teacher though the air was still notably tense. As the kid who was beat up sat alone in the corner, Gyun noticed that nobody seemed to notice him yet.
-Let's keep it like that for now, but those bullies weren't from this class, well I guess it makes since this is an advanced class and delinquents have a habit of being low scorers in academics. But they were definitely all three athletes from the glimpses I got of them, they had well developed bodies and from the way people treated them their definitely not low on the ladder.-
Gyun leaned forward as the teacher entered and began his morning speech, Gyun was trying to think of a way to maximize his benefit. The teacher continued, "well as I said welcome back from break, and today we have a new student his name is Gyun Sung. Gyun please stand up and introduce yourself to the class."
The class as a whole seemed surprised
"Wait where"
"We got a new kid"
"Let's hope he's not like Genji's crew"
Gyun heard several reactions, he stood up -am I supposed to just do it from here or the front?-. He decided to go for option one, "my name is Gyun Sung and I'm a second year here, I plan on joining the kendo club my brother also goes here and he's a first year, uhhh that's all". The teacher spoke "ok give him a quick round of applause"
He sat down, -ugh such a hassle-, public speaking was never his strong suit and was one of the things that held him back even in murim where the sword was law. To his surprise his classmates were pretty forgiving, especially the female students, he heard some comments among the halfhearted clapping.
"wow stupidly goodlooking"
"He's tall"
"Ugh the girls are going to have a fielday"
Gyun let out a sigh in exasperation -this is why I sit in the corner-, he checked the time on the clock. -Ok my schedule says we have lunch in 3 hours- Gyun turned his attention to the teacher who had begun to launch into the lesson.
----------------------------------
Lunch time 3 hour's later
Gyun had several people pester him on his way but now that he was in the lunch line in the cafeteria with the rest of their grade. He felt the attention but that wasn't what he wanted, -no where is he?- he looked for the kid from earlier.
-There- he spotted him sitting next to several other kids, to Gyun they didn't look like outcasts. -That means today was an exception of circumstances-, "hey kid what did you want".
"huh" Gyun turned his attention to the lunch lady, "Oh I'll have uhhhhh.." Gyun tried to remember the menu. "uh kimchi and rice?" he said -I think that was on there- the lunch lady sighed she set a platter of kimchi and rice on his tray. Gyun thanked her and got out of line, -it looks decent- he thought.
Gyun headed to where the kid who had been beaten up before was talking with a group of friends. "Hey Jeemin you got to hop on tonight and we'll play a few rounds and rank up to platinu-" the guy cut himself off when Gyun sat next to him. -Let's keep it simple and short- Gyun thought as he took bite of the rice.
"What you said to those other guys in the morning about that guy from East Gangbuk does the offer still stand?". The guy who had a black eye and was from earlier looked at his friends, they shrugged at him. He looked suspicious "are you saying you can take on Chen Ji, you realize who he is right?"
Gyun replied, "trust me, I'm more then capable you can pay me upon completion" Gyun said with a smile. "Ok that sounds fair, but aren't you the new kid Gyun from my class?"
Gyun leaned back and sighed "yeah I am, here put your number in my phone I'll handle it then text you." Gyun handed him his phone, he took the phone and put in his contact info "oh yeah I don't know if you knew but I'm Jin Cheon".
Gyun smiled as Jin gave him his phone back "text me the school and grade this guys in, I want 5 million won."
Jin Cheon opened his mouth to say something but upon second thought he closed it. -This guy, he's confident and has an amazing physique, plus he's on the kendo team. I guess using a weapon would give you a big advantage- Jin thought.
Gyun took Jin's silence as an answer and left to go eat at another table he was invited to.
Jin had a thought occur to him, -if this guy can really handle Chen Ji and his crew then he can take on this whole school. I heard he was on scholarship here so he must be good enough to at least place top ten in national's. I might have to add another name to list but for now let's get on his good side.- He thought as he pulled his phone out to send the info.
Gyun uncomfortably sat with a group of people who seemed to be somewhat popular. Gyun just smiled and gave one word answers to questions he was asked.
"I heard your here on scholarship because of your Kendo"
"Yes"
"You must be pretty good"
"Very"
"Huh did you win any titles?"
"National"
-how long is this going to continue-Gyun thought but at that moment his phone vibrated in his pocket.
"Ah one moment let me check this message" Gyun said separating from the group. He opened his phone and checked the message from Jin.

Gyun smiled -that's more like it, now let's see, it'd be best to handle it during school hours since it be easy to find him but my parents will know. I guess I can handle it tomorrow by pretending sick in the morning to miss school-
