As Jin Hwa walked through the school gates on the day of its reopening, he couldn't help but feel the curious gazes of his fellow students.
News of the Minotaur incident had undoubtedly spread like wildfire, making him the center of attention.
In the classroom, his classmates whispered and exchanged hushed conversations, their curiosity piqued. As the bell rang and the teacher walked in, one particularly bold student couldn't contain their curiosity.
"Hey, Jin Hwa, what happened that day?" they asked, unable to resist the temptation.
But Jin Hwa, still recovering both physically and emotionally, decided to brush off the question. Instead, he focused on the teacher, signaling the start of a new day.
It was his way of saying he was moving forward, and he hoped his classmates would follow suit.
The class commenced, and the routine of school life carried on, despite the extraordinary events that had transpired.

And the class ended and they can go to cafeteria to eat.

During the break, Jin Hwa headed to the cafeteria to grab a quick bite. As he navigated through the bustling school building, a group of third-year students called out to him.
They had an air of arrogance and superiority about them that he couldn't ignore. With a mischievous grin, he decided to follow them, curious about what they wanted.
The scene shifted to the rooftop, where the third-year students were gathered, their unruly behavior drawing the attention of others. Some of them were smoking cigarettes, filling the air with a bitter scent.
The leader of this unruly group ha joon, known for their confrontational attitude, stepped forward. He looked Jin Hwa up and down with a arrogant grin.
"So, jin hwa, what happened that day? How did you manage to take down that so called minotaur?" The words were laced with arrogance, and Jin Hwa knew he had to tread carefully in this situation.
Jin Hwa clenched his fists as he faced Ha Joon, his anger palpable. "Ha Joon, what do you want?" he asked, his expression seething with frustration and irritation.
Ha Joon responded arrogantly, his tone dripping with condescension.
"I just want to know what happened. But it seems like you need a little lesson because you became prideful of yourself after that incident huh?"
Without waiting for Jin Hwa's reply, Ha Joon called out another student, a guy with a similar height but an athletic physique. The tension on the rooftop escalated.
