The abandoned building was quite far from the neighborhood where I and Seol Yuhwa live. So, instead of walking, we decided to take a taxi.

A moment later.

Seol Yuhwa got off the taxi and asked, “Is this the place?”

In front of the abandoned building, there were several bikes parked, and the noise coming from inside suggested that there were people.

“You found the right place.”

After sending away the taxi, Seol Yuhwa and I stood in front of the abandoned building.

With a nervous heart, I swallowed hard.

‘…I surely don’t have to go inside, right?’

I came this far, but I had no intention of entering. ‘I’m just a powerless ordinary person.’

Even if I go inside with her, I won’t be of any help; if anything, it would be lucky if I don’t become a burden. No, I might collapse before becoming a burden.

Seol Yuhwa seemed to notice that I was trembling, and she chuckled.

“It’s dangerous, so you stay outside.”

I was moved by her words.

‘Wow, impressive. I almost fell for her.’

It occurred to me that no one had ever said such things to me before.

‘Everyone treated me like a rolling turd.’

Indeed, ranked 0 in the world. I blinked my eyes and looked at Seol Yuhwa. Of course, she was just warming up without paying any attention to me.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Seol Yuhwa confidently leaped into the abandoned building.

‘Masks are suffocating.’

I slyly lowered my mask and hid behind the building’s wall, peeking into the inside.

“What the hell are you! Who are you!”

As Seol Yuhwa appeared, the delinquents from Hae Sung High School began to get noisy.

Instead of explaining, Seol Yuhwa moved her body.

Her fierce fist struck the cheek of the nearest delinquent.

Thunk!

A moment of silence ensued.

“This son of a b****!”

Another delinquent next to him got angry and raised his hand. However, Seol Yuhwa easily blocked that hand and kicked the man’s stomach.

Bang!

The kicked man flew far away.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the delinquents from Hae Sung High School started to murmur and look at each other.

Soon, they shouted and rushed towards Seol Yuhwa.

“Yahhh!”

And thus, the fight began.

Despite the clear numerical disadvantage, Seol Yuhwa was not at all overwhelmed. No, she was dominating.

‘That’s… the world’s 0th rank?’

Before my eyes, a splendid and flashy fight unfolded, like an action scene from a movie.

Witnessing the actual strength of the world’s 0th rank was astonishing. With that level of prowess, she could probably be the top even in the world. Whether it’s physically possible with a high school girl’s body is a different issue…

‘The delinquents can’t even put up a fight.’

In terms of fighting, the delinquents from Hae Sung High School were nothing more than puppies in front of Seol Yuhwa.

Seol Yuhwa sent one delinquent flying with an uppercut.

Thunk!

How much time had passed like this?

“Ugh.”

Thud.

The last delinquent collapsed on the ground.

Seeing that, another delinquent shouted in frustration.

“You damn b****! I’ll make you… Ugh!”
Seol Yuhwa kicked one of the delinquents, and the guy flew through the air like a soccer ball.

‘How terrifying.’

Indeed, she was the final boss of this novel. No, not the final boss, but the female protagonist…

Seol Yuhwa bent her body, grabbed the collar of the closest guy, and lifted him up.

“Who’s the boss here?”

Upon hearing this, the guy shouted angrily, “Do you want me to tell you?”

In response, Seol Yuhwa raised her fist instead of replying.

“Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!”

Before the guy could even get hit, he panicked and tightly shut his eyes. The guy, now polite, said with fear in his voice, “The… the boss is not here!”

“Not here?”

Seol Yuhwa narrowed her eyes as if dissatisfied. After a moment of contemplation, she opened her mouth again.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Tell that so-called boss from me.”

While looking straight into the guy’s eyes, Seol Yuhwa said, “If he messes with Jiyeol again, I won’t stay silent.”

The guy, with a frightened expression, nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Seol Yuhwa let the guy go. More accurately, she threw the guy to the ground.

“Heh… nothing much.”

It would have been better if she didn’t laugh like that. I looked at Seol Yuhwa with cold eyes.

Anyway, that’s how Seol Yuhwa taught a lesson to the delinquents from Hae Sung High School. As she had said before coming, there was an overwhelming difference.

Seol Yuhwa lightly brushed off her hands and shifted her weight to exit the abandoned building.

That’s when it happened.

From behind, one guy rushed at Seol Yuhwa with a wooden stick without making any sound.

“Seol Yuhwa!”

I desperately shouted her name and ran towards her. Seol Yuhwa quickly turned around as if sensing something, then swiftly kicked the guy, sending him flying.

“Uwaaah!”

Thunk!

The guy crashed into the wall.

“Heh, persistent guys.”

Seol Yuhwa clicked her tongue.

“Are you okay?”

I sincerely asked, thoroughly checking Seol Yuhwa.

“I’m fine.”

“Still…”

“It’s fine, just clean up.”

I had no choice but to step back.
