I'm sure he grew up to be this bright and energetic due to the unsparing affection(?) and love(?) from Dad and I.
"What upsetting thoughts are you having?"
"Ah, nothing really."
My brother and I got on a bus and headed to school.
I could feel gazes from all around us, but I ignored it and entered the school building.
"Ah, freshmen."
"Wow, how fresh. How fresh."
"You are only a year older, so what nonsense are you talking about?"
Spring. The start of a new semester.
I am now in my junior year of high school while my brother is in the terrifying senior year.
My brother isn't bad at studying, but he's not as perfect as our father, so he will have a hard time at it.
Well, I'm not in a position to comment on others.
"Bye. Pay attention in class."
"Okay."
My elder brother, a senior, went up to the second floor while I, a junior, went up to the third floor.
Freshmen had to climb up to the fourth floor.
I find this system where the lower grades occupy the higher floors slightly absurd.
Well, perhaps it's some kind of privilege for the upper grades where they could climb less stairs.
"Let's see… Was it Class 7?"
There were numerous students walking in the hallway as the first lesson was about to start. They wore different expressions too.
Well, they wouldn't be in a good mood since school break was over.
Even I…
"Ahh, I hate this. School breaks are really too short…"
I walked trudgingly, placed my shoes on the shoe rack, changed into slippers and headed towards the classroom.
Though we had taken the class placement test, everyone would have to check their individual results on the school's homepage. So, we wouldn't know who our classmates were.
That's why I prayed.
Ahh, please don't put that Boss of Prestige in our class…
Of course, that guy hadn't done anything wrong.
He was a quiet guy and had never given me any trouble.
But even so, I could feel it clearly - his peculiar danger.
There's absolutely nothing good that can come from being in his vicinity. The safe way is to stay as far away from him as possible.
"This is… ah."
I stood in front of Class 7.
The door was closed. I could just enter but my body stiffened.
Wol-il High School
Human Slayer, Lee Kyung-eun
I halted when I saw that title through the door.
Though I have no x-ray vision, I can at least see titles and names on the other side of a wall.
"Huh? Huuh?"
Wait, that's not the important thing right now.
Wh-why am I seeing that title on the other side of the door?
What? How? Huh? Why?
"No way."
Right. No way. It can't be.
Kyung-eun and I can't possibly be in the same class. It shouldn't happen.
That girl is a well-known beauty in our school, no, in this area. Also, she's one of the Twin Roses of Won-il High School and a perfect idol with the label of being a daughter from a rich household, and her grades have always been within the top 10% of the entire school.
However, I have no interest in her title at all. All I want is peace.
If she was in my class instead of Dong-min, the Boss of Prestige, it would bring more trouble.
At least, that dude lived a quiet school life, didn't he?
Swoosh.
"Ah."
"That scared me. Why are you standing here instead of entering?"
