Chapter 114 – Dropping Out of School.

I went to the gym after a week.
I just opened the door and went in, but the director looked at me and spoke in an urgent voice.

“Ah! Just then, Sungjin arrives. Great. Seong Jin-ah, let’s play a game of sparring.”
“Yes? As soon as you arrive? I wasn’t even warmed up.”
“What are you doing? Change her clothes quickly. Since important guests are here today, you can only play one game.”

I said yes and went to the locker room to change my clothes.
My locker is right above the locker room in the corner that was full of money until recently.
All the money had already been moved to the secret safe in the office of Hyejeong, the distribution company.

After changing my clothes, I warmed up while watching the team sparring in the ring.
But then, she saw a woman sitting on a chair on the opposite side of our camp, with a bandage wrapped around her ankle and a towel over her shoulder, watching the ring.
She didn’t look like she was 20 yet, but she was very pretty and very familiar.
Apparently she was the first woman I’d seen today and she was strangely like a woman she’d seen somewhere.
Even when I came out and warmed up, I was cheering for the player on my side without giving a single glance, concentrating on looking at the ring and screaming.

After all three rounds were over, the two fighters greeted each other and came down from the ring sweating profusely.

“Sungjin. Get ready. It’s your turn next.”

After listening to the director’s instructions, she took her headgear and climbed into the ring.
I greeted the other player lightly and put on my headgear as I came to our corner.
The other player was a little shorter than me, but he was a very large player with a much more muscular body.

The director checked the condition of the gloves and headgear, put a mouthpiece in his mouth, and went down from the ring.

As soon as the ball rang, he turned around and looked at the other player.
However, the other player was running right away, perhaps trying to catch a win in the beginning.
Now, coming out a couple of steps from the corner, I had no choice but to run into an opponent who was already punching right in front of me.

I raised my left arm lightly to lightly block the straight arm with my right hand, and quickly got out of the corner by moving my body to the right.
As I evaded the attack so lightly and moved my body, regretful sighs erupted from the opposing camp.
The opposing player must have felt that my skills were unusual, so he immediately put his arms in a guard position and jabbed while stepping.
I also guarded according to the rules, and jabbed together to check the distance.

For nearly 2 minutes, we were just jabbing around the ring, searching for our opponents.
I approached first and landed a one-two punch.
Even though I hit the top of the guard, I felt a heavy feeling in my hand.
The opponent flinched at the heaviness in his arm and staggered backwards slightly.
I didn’t miss the gap and caught up right away and stabbed a combination punch that went into a one-two uppercut.
However, the opposing player was also quite good, so he guarded tightly and blocked all my fists.

I still had the strength left, so I continued to swing my fist and drove the other player into the corner.
Even in the middle of it, I could see that the other player was not an ordinary player as I saw a light fist flying.
But then, suddenly, I heard a word in my ears and my reason flew away.

“Kang Seong-ah. Get out of the corner now. Hurry.”

It was a coach’s order for the opposing player, Kang Seong, and the word Kang Seong that I heard in front of me sounded like a glow to my ears, and I was angry and angry.
Gwang Seong-pa, who kidnapped Gyeong-mi and stabbed her in the stomach, causing my child to be aborted. I had to keep my seat.
Of course, now that I am a high school student, I can come forward and say what I can do, but I am the one who went to rescue Kyung-mi when she was kidnapped and fought off a poisonous snake.

In a situation where resentment remained in my heart for not being able to deal with the criminals who killed Uncle Chun-sik, when I heard the word Kangseong, which is similar to Gwangseong-pa, the resentment that had accumulated inside burst out without my knowledge.
Unknowingly, it seems that the resentment against the Gwangseongpa was quite strong in my subconscious.

At that moment, I suddenly shouted ‘evil’ and charged at the other player like a wild boar.
The other player was already in the corner, and I was only looking at myself to get out of the corner somehow, so my body was somewhat weak.

In an instant, I rushed in front of my opponent and began to land nonstop apnea punches that have now become my trademark in the gym.
The opponent somehow tried to avoid my quick fists, but I knocked on him without stopping, whether it was on the guard or anywhere else, so in the end he gave up blocking, wrapped his arms around his head, and was only hit one-sidedly.
The other player had already entered the groggy state, but I was already blind and was swinging my arms like crazy, so I didn’t know the other player’s condition.
He was swinging his arms only with the instinct to kill the person in front of him.

The ball rang.
But I didn’t hear the sound of the gong and continued to swing my fist.
Someone grabbed me by the torso and rolled me to the side, laying me on the ring.
It was only then that I breathed heavily and shouted loudly, “Aah!”

I saw people coming up from the other side, taking off the headgear of the player who had collapsed in the corner, taking out a mouthpiece, and applying cold compresses.
While lying down, I took off my headgear, pushed it upward, and shed tears.

“Is there anything you can do to kill someone? What the hell were you thinking, no matter how many times I called your name, you couldn’t understand me?”

The curator said while gently hitting my forehead with the palm of his hand.
Then he saw me crying with tears in his eyes and stroked my hair.

“Okay. Cry. I know how hard it was for you.”

The opposing player woke up right away.
After I stopped crying for a while and calmed down, I sat on the ring with my legs spread and my head bowed.
The director of the other side came up to me, held out his hand and said hello.

“My name is Kim Kyung-rok. I am the director of Hansol Gymnasium.”

Only then did I jump up with my head up, quickly take off my gloves, bow down, hold his hand, and shake his hand.

“This is Seongjin Lee. Sorry. I can’t control my emotions.. Is the opponent okay?”
“Okay. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it. I guess something bad is going on. Take good care of yourself.”
“Yes. Thank you.”

The director of Hansol Gym gave me a pat on the shoulder and then went down the ring while talking with our director about where he got such a monster, how great he is, and so on.
Only then did I go down the ring and sit on a chair in the corner, drooping over my face with a towel.

Then a woman’s voice was heard from somewhere.

“Boy. Because you are Lee Seong-jin? Hi. My name is Kim Soo-young.”

I was annoyed so I stayed still, but the other side continued to talk.
I removed the towel with my hand and looked at the woman looking down at me.
She looked at the woman looking down at me with a bright smile on her pretty face.

Ah! I remembered who
In the early 2000s, an actress famously won her ticket to the National Sports Festival by boxing in the preliminary round.
She was a very famous actress who appeared in many movies and commercials because she had a pretty face, a good body, and she was good at sports.
She remembered that the actor’s name was Kim Soo-young.

‘Ah~ So it must have looked familiar the first time I saw it.’

Until a moment ago, I was in a bad mood because of Kwang Seong-pa and Mr. Chun-shik, but when I saw a pretty, and even a very good movie star in the future, right in front of my eyes, I immediately felt better.
After all, Lee Seong-jin is weak to pretty girls..

“What’s the matter, did you go crazy like that earlier?”
“Ah~ What.. Just..”
“Is it very bad? Shouldn’t I know?”

Kim Soo-yeong is surprisingly kind, so she kept talking to her.
Well, even in the future, the image was that of a tomboy, but it seemed to be a real personality.
As I smiled awkwardly, Sooyoung Kim limped and sat down next to me.

“Uh? Why are your legs like that?”
“Ah, this. I sprained while exercising. It’s my chronic disease. If it wasn’t for this, I could have gone to the Olympics…”

She seemed to know why Kim Soo-young later became an actress.
She probably wanted to do boxing all the time, but her chronic ankle injury eventually made her career as an athlete impossible.

“Let me introduce you again. My name is Kim Soo-young, and I am 19 years old this year. Seong-jin is 18 years old this year.
“Ah~ yes.. What..”

I didn’t hate Kim Soo-young, who strangely came next to me and acted friendly.
She was even more welcome because she was someone who would become a famous actress in the future.

“By the way, Sooyoung noona is so pretty, but does she do boxing?”

This guy’s work skill that I don’t even know…

“Ah~ over there, the director of Hansol Gym is my father. So ever since she was little she only boxed.”
“Ah… That’s right. You look very nice, manager.”
“Huh. You are a very good manager. But as a father, it’s a breadwinner. Oh my~ I saw you for the first time today and I say all sorts of things.”

It was Kim Soo-young, who was a bit blunt and even a keut.
We chatted for a while after that.

Then our manager approached me.
When the director stood in front of me, Kim Soo-yeong greeted me with an awkward smile, then limped to the place where their officials were.
And he was sitting in a chair and staring at me all the time.
When our eyes met, he smiled.

“Sungjin. You are prohibited from sparring for the time being until your mind is controlled. I’m going to kill people who do things like today. Got it?”
“Yes. All right.”
“Okay. Did Chun-sik have a good funeral?”

The director came on the first day of the funeral and stayed up all night before leaving.

“Yes. Finished well. Thank you for your help.”
“What are you saying. You had a hard time being the resident. First of all, you should train your basic physical strength for the time being and practice your boxing skills.”

The manager thought of my condition and excluded me from sparring.

“Yes. But what’s going on? It’s the first time I’ve seen a group come like this at another gym.”
“Huh. It’s spring now and the weather is getting warmer, right? There’s an amateur competition and a pro entrance test soon. So for the time being, we decided to join Hansol Gym and practice sparring.”
“Ah. There is a contest.”

I didn’t know because I wasn’t interested in competitions, but now that spring has arrived and the weather has gotten warmer, it seems that many competitions are taking place.

“Sungjin, prepare yourself from now on. Are you going to compete soon?”
“Yes? What do you mean by that? I have no interest in going to competitions.”
“Huh. This guy Then you’re just going to rot that precious skill? That I can’t accept Don’t talk nonsense, just follow what I tell you to do. I’ll let you sit up there.”

I couldn’t refute the words and facial expression of the director who was so serious.
I just nodded my head saying I knew roughly and looked at Kim Soo-young.
I was so curious about it, so even when I was sitting over there, I kept my ears perked up and secretly listened to our conversation.
Then, when our eyes met, it was Kim Soo-young who grinned.
For the time being, it seemed like it would be fun to come out to the gym in a different way.
