*CHAPTER 13*
🪷🪷*Mi Jin Ah's POV*🪷🪷
Students scattered.
Then—
Eight black luxury cars rolled through the gate.
Perfectly aligned.
One by one.
*GOLDEN 8*'s parents.
They exited their cars.
Composed.
Professional faces.
Then—
At the gate—
The media still stood.
I almost laughed.
Slowly—
They walked.
Passed me.
Gone.
I turned around.
Sighed.
Then—
Returned to class.
Whispers rose.
Murmurs spread.
I knew it.
They wanted to face me.
But—
They were scared.
They'd die.
Mr. Oh entered.
Physics teacher.
Books clutched under his arm.
Mr Oh:
"So today we are doing physical forces and—"
Before he could finish—
One egg flew.
Hit his bald head.
Mr Oh:
"Huh… who… who threw it? Who did it?"
The whole class fell silent.
No one spoke.
Crazy.
He grabbed his wooden rod.
What was he even thinking?
Of hitting *Seoul High* students?
Only in his dreams.
I stood up.
Everyone looked at me.
Me:
"I did."
He raised his head.
Then—
Looked down again.
What was even happening?
Me:
"It's me."
He pretended not to see.
Mr Oh:
"Ah… I get it. It must have slipped from your hand. It's okay. Sit down."
What.
Even he was scared.
The whole class erupted into laughter.
I turned around.
Quiet.
Pathetic.
The Principal entered.
Followed by—
The *GOLDEN 8* parents.
Principal:
"Okay. I'll cut the long story short. These people here have come to pay respects for the late Park Jae In and the comatose Han Tae Min. Let's all close our eyes and observe a moment of silence."
Huh.
Not even *Kim Ha Na.*
Wow.
They opened their eyes.
Principal:
"Let's clap for them as they return to their work."
Everyone clapped.
Except me.
***
My phone vibrated.
Anonymous:
"Play safe. Danger ahead."
I stood up.
Walked straight to the door.
And no one—
Even dared to ask—
Where I was going.
***
I dialed the number.
No answer.
Instead—
A robotic voice.
The number was not in service.
What a fool.
If he really wanted to fight—
He should come face to face.
I walked back to class.
Passing—
The GOLDEN 8 French classroom.
They said—
French was only for the rich.
Then—
I heard whispers.
Voice 1:
"I have to transfer. I can't die yet. It seems someone is targeting us."
Voice 2:
"Not just us. The whole school. I heard someone died even before Jae In. Do you think that's natural?"
Voice 1:
"Hey, remember that person was killed by Jae In. She was the prime suspect. Judging by Jae In's temper, she was capable of doing that. After all, that girl tried to snatch Jae In's position on the billboard. If it were me, I would have done the same."
Oh.
So they were the same.
I chuckled.
If that is the case—
Then—
I have no choice—
But to eliminate this dumb system.
Now—
Let's move to Rank 1.
After him—
The game—
Will be over.
