But where did the remaining one go? Did he transfer schools?

When I thought about that, Danbal spoke.

“But now they’re the Three Big Boys. Because…”

His lonely voice spoke.

“The remaining one died.”

“…”

No, did he die here all of a sudden?

I was bewildered by the unexpected development. I hesitated to find the right words, but eventually, I spoke up.

“Why did he die?”

“Isn’t that too straightforward to ask?”

Danbal gestured as if to come closer to me. As I leaned in, Danbal whispered softly in my ear.

“In fact, no one knows exactly what happened back then except for the Three Big Boys.”

Was there a need to talk about it so secretly?

“What ordinary students know is… there was an accident involving the Three Big Boys back then, and because of that accident, all the Three Big Boys were severely injured.”

Perhaps Seon Woojin’s hand was also injured at that time? But didn’t Haeyool also get injured? Why did he suddenly die?
As if answering my question, Danbal spoke.

“The one whose name cannot be mentioned has not been seen anywhere since that incident. The Three Big Boys also never mention anything about that person.”

“Then, he could still be alive, right?”

“That’s possible, but… there are rumors. Since then, no one has known about that person’s whereabouts.”

Originally, in creative works, it’s a rule that if you can’t find the body, the person is alive.

In the original work, it was thought that Seol Yubin died, but in reality, he was alive.

“Anyway, that’s how the Supreme Middle School Triumvirate became the Three Big Boys. It’s a sad story.”

It’s a serious story, but I can’t concentrate because of the Supreme Middle School Triumvirate…

Finally, as if admonishing, Danbal said, “So, you must not casually mention that person’s name in front of the Three Big Boys. Understand?”

I nodded my head without laughing or crying.

After finishing the story, Danbal returned to his seat.

Alone, I was lost in thought.

“So, this person named Haeyool really existed…”

After hearing the hidden story, the vague image became more concrete.

“He was probably ^_^, so he must have been kind.”

Considering that each of the Three Big Boys had some screws loose, ^_^ was probably the most normal among them.

“But did he really die?”

It was very suspicious. As someone who was once a web novel enthusiast, in one word, characters like him are always villains.

Maybe I need to find more information.

It might be awkward to ask the Three Big Boys directly. Is there any other way…?

“By the way, how did Choi Yuhan know that name?”

He said he was a transfer student. How would he know something I don’t? Is it not a secret at Haeseong High School?

Well, that could be the case. Perhaps he’s just being cautious here, and it might not be a secret at Haeseong High School.

Anyway, the conclusion is, “Choi Yuhan knows that the Three Big Boys were Supreme Middle School Triumvirate in the past and is trying to provoke them using that information.”

…That was it.

I don’t know the reason for provocation yet.

“The reason these Haeseong High School guys dislike our school is probably not just one or two things.”

However, judging by how he reluctantly brought up the almost forbidden name in this area, it seemed like he wasn’t mentally prepared.

“I should be careful not to cause trouble.”

Thinking of Choi Yuhan’s face, I decided.

“I should be careful in the future.”

Whether I learned a secret of this world or not, time passed, and the Earth continued to rotate.

During that time, nothing special happened.

“Well, today is peaceful too.”

When Seol Yubin first left, every day was tense because I didn’t know what would happen. But as time passed, I got used to it.

“Yeah, let’s live roughly. Anyway, things don’t go my way.”

Let it be. That’s my current mindset.

So, today’s classes were also peacefully concluded. It was time to go home.
I changed my shoes and stepped outside.

That was when it happened.

“What’s going on?”

I heard a commotion from the back of the school, near the open field.

Historically, the open field had been a sacred place for troublemakers, where all ominous incidents began.

“Well, it seems like the aura of another bad incident.”

However, the intuition of the possessor was urging me to go to the open field.

“…Really, this time, I’ll just watch and come back. I definitely won’t get involved.”

I approached the direction where the sound was coming from.

The open field.

There, a group of girls had gathered.

They surrounded a girl, pushing her against the wall. The atmosphere was uneasy.

“A scene of group bullying.”

I frowned.

Although I entered the petty world, it was the first time I witnessed this kind of bullying in real life. Well, except for the time I got bullied by the fan club.

“Should I call a teacher?”

I wasn’t sure how trustworthy the teachers in this world were, but it would be better than doing nothing.

I turned my body to go back to the teacher’s office.

“Hey, I told you to bring money when I ask nicely, didn’t I?”

At the sharp voice, I involuntarily turned my head.

The girl leading the harassment had a ponytail. I didn’t recognize her face, but judging by the color of the name tag, she seemed to be in the same grade as me.

And the girl being harassed was…

“Huh?”

…Seol Yubin.
