Chapter 6
Several days had passed, and Peter was surprised that Jiwoo still hadn't responded to his messages. He and Johan were now working together to find the remaining crew members.
"I know someone who'll join us," Johan said as they walked. "Not just him, but all his men too."
Peter's curiosity was piqued. "Who is he?"
Johan grinned. "Jin Seongjin. He's the current national wrestling and judo champion, and he was my top contender a year ago. Originally from Chuncheon, but he lives in Gangnam now. He's got a bit of a tyrant streak – all 200 boys from Gold High are under him."
"Gold High? Isn't that in South Gangnam?" Peter asked, puzzled.
Johan nodded. "Yeah, Seongjin and Gold High are fighting for freedom against the Monsters. If we offer to let them join us and fight the Riders, we could have them conquer the South too."
They hopped on Johan's motorcycle and headed south. As they approached Gold High, they saw 200 men rushing towards them, having recognized Johan.
Peter and Johan exchanged a look before leaping into action. Johan's fists flew, taking down opponents with precision boxing combos. Peter, utilizing his improved stats, dodged and weaved through the crowd, his strikes leaving a wake of unconscious bodies.
Back-to-back, they fought. Johan ducked a wild swing, allowing Peter to leap over him and deliver a spinning kick to their assailants. Peter then dropped low, sweeping the legs from under two attackers as Johan finished them with swift uppercuts.
The fight lasted mere minutes before all 200 men lay defeated. Breathing heavily but grinning, Peter and Johan made their way into the school.
They found themselves face-to-face with Jin Seongjin, a muscular young man with black hair tied back in a ponytail. Peter discreetly checked his stats:
Name: Jin Seongjin
Age: 20
Height: 6'3"
Strength: MR
Speed: SSR
Stamina: UR
Endurance: SSR
Intelligence: B
Potential: S
Seongjin's lips curled into a smile. "Welcome," he said, his deep voice echoing in the empty hallway. "I've been expecting you."
