‘Was that guy from Hae-seong High School?’

I felt a mix of shock and betrayal.

‘But why was he wearing a different school’s uniform?’

Noticing my gaze, the boy scratched his head and chuckled.

“Ah, I haven’t been transferred for long.”

No wonder I didn’t recognize the uniform!

I almost cried out of frustration.

‘But wait a minute. If a guy from Hae-seong High School is looking for Seong Ji-chan…’

A bad premonition crept up on me.

Then, one of the delinquents wearing a Hae-seong High School uniform spat out some saliva and muttered.

“Seong Ji-chan, that bastard. Today’s his funeral day.”

They really came to fight!

Hae-seong High School and Je-il High School have a long-standing rivalry.

Especially the current boss of Je-il High, Seong Ji-chan, and Hae-seong High’s focus, Ryu Tae-gun, have been known to have bad blood since middle school.

Fights between the two schools were common.

It wasn’t surprising.

‘Here we go again.’

It was about time, considering there hadn’t been a major clash with Hae-seong High since the last kidnapping incident involving Yoo Hee-na.

‘Time for another dramatic event.’

I just hoped I wouldn’t get involved. Too bothersome.

As I was lost in thought, the Hae-seong High School delinquents had already vanished into the distance.

I watched their retreating figures and thought.

‘…But why doesn’t anyone stop them?’

Despite classes being officially over, it was odd no one stopped them from wandering around in a different school’s uniform.

I expected at least the school security to show up.

It seemed in this insane world, relying too much on teachers was a bad idea.

Of course, unless the heroine disguises herself as a teacher.

‘Well, let’s just go home.’

Fighting is the domain of the school boss.

A righteous student like me should gracefully step back.

I decided to head home without hesitation.

‘But earlier… there were a lot of people.’

There must have been around twenty of them.

The sight of the Hae-seong High School delinquents with their menacing aura came to mind.

‘It should be fine… right?’

Considering the last time the top three guys fought in the abandoned building, they should be okay. Probably…

‘Yeah, that’s right. Seong Ji-chan is the boss. He’ll be able to handle it.’

I tried to convince myself and headed home.

Well, I was about to.

‘Logically, that can’t be okay!’

I stopped in my tracks, unable to take another step.

‘Let’s think about this again.’

Seong Ji-chan in a 20 against 1 situation. Is that physically possible?

This world does have a high school girl who’s the world’s top ranker, but that’s the heroine. Seong Ji-chan’s situation is a bit different.

Typically, in stories like this, where the heroine is the most powerful, the hero is relatively weaker.

I even remember the hero getting beaten up by the heroine… but let’s skip that. The point is, the heroine usually outshines the hero.

‘Even with Seon Woo-jin and Ban Ha-min, Seong Ji-chan might have trouble handling it all alone.’

I bit my lip anxiously.

‘But it would be weird to ignore him after spending days together.’

It’s silly for an extra like me to worry about the main hero, but still.

I pondered seriously.

‘But if Seon Woo-jin is with him, it should be okay, right?’

‘…No, he said he already went home.’

‘Who’s in the health room right now? Definitely not Lee Yeon-ho.’

‘Seol Yu-bin usually isn’t there this late.’

‘Judging by what I saw, Seong Ji-chan should still be in the health room. He’s always sleeping around this time.’

‘So, Seong Ji-chan will be ambushed alone?’

‘Why doesn’t Seong Ji-chan just go home!’

Ugh, my head was about to explode.

I finally made up my mind.

‘Alright, I’ll just check the health room quickly. If Seong Ji-chan is alone, I’ll tell him to run.’

If the Hae-seong High School guys are already there when I arrive?

Obviously, I’ll run away without looking back.
“My life is precious, after all.

‘I can’t just stand around. Let’s hurry to the infirmary.’

I turned around and re-entered the school gates.

‘…Is no one here?’

Before entering the building with the infirmary, I hid behind a wall and cautiously peeked out.

Fortunately, it seemed the Hae-seong High guys hadn’t found this place yet.

But I couldn’t let my guard down.

Since they are characters related to the original story, they had a higher chance of finding the second infirmary compared to regular extras.

‘Really no one?’

I checked the surroundings once more. There wasn’t a single shadow of a person, let alone a Hae-seong High student.

Feeling a bit more relieved, I took a deep breath and went inside the infirmary.

Carefully, I called out, “Seong Ji-chan?”

But the infirmary was silent.

‘Gone?’

The lights were off, and the inside of the infirmary was dim, though some light still filtered in through the windows as the sun hadn’t completely set yet.

I stepped further into the infirmary.

“What the, there’s no one here.”
