Chapter Title: Top Student of the School Hides Her Regression
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A chilling silence fell.
The parents who had been trying to defend their children somehow, and even the huffing vice principal, all lost their words and simply stared at the TV screen.
Amid everyone's stunned shock.
Jeong Eun-seong entered through the wide-open front door.
He strode forward, literally shoving the vice principal out of his way since the man was blocking his path. He yanked out the USB, pocketed it.
And threw a punch at Park Su-hwan.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Thwack!
An ominous sound rang out, but Jeong Eun-seong didn't stop.
"Wha..."
What the hell are you doing? He's the one aspiring to be a celebrity!
That was when I let go of Seo Jae-kyeom's arm, which I'd been holding back, and ran to stop Jeong Eun-seong.
"Just go fuck yourself and drop dead!"
Bang Eun-ji, who had somehow entered our classroom, charged in and smashed the corner of her phone into the back of Jang Ji-won's husband's head.
That was the spark.
"Get lost!"
"You crazy bastards!"
As if something had exploded, the girls swarmed toward the teacher's desk. They grabbed whatever they could find and lunged at Park Su-hwan's gang. Punching, grabbing collars and shaking, slamming with elbows...
The girls from the other classes who had been watching also rushed into the classroom.
Eight or nine girls piled onto each boy. They dragged Park Su-hwan and Do Ha-jun into the hallway by whatever they could grab and beat and stomped them. Crash! Desks were pushed over, chairs toppled.
"Hey, grab him!"
"Stomp him!"
"You, back off!"
Gyeong Se-in, who usually got all flustered and excited just seeing Jeong Eun-seong, had her eyes rolled back in rage as she shoved him aside.
She yanked a keyboard off the computer desk and bashed Park Su-hwan's head with it, thwack thwack. Beside her, Ye-su-a grabbed the collar of Do Ha-jun as he tried to flee. Buttons popped off with a clatter.
I snatched the USB from Jeong Eun-seong's hand as he was pushed right up next to me.
"Guys! Stop, stop! Calm down!"
"Ha-jun-ah! Someone help our son!"
"You're all crazy!"
The vice principal stomped and yelled at the top of his lungs, but he couldn't rein in my friends whose eyes had rolled back in fury.
Of course they were crazy.
Does this look like a situation where anyone could stay sane?
Girls are scary when they get mad, right? Teachers, please understand.
I shrugged at Jeong Eun-seong and Seo Jae-kyeom, who had suddenly gone quiet.
"I'm joining them. You two stay crumpled up."
Don't get involved in girls' business.
"I hit him."
"No. I did."
"No. It was me."
The girls' revenge didn't stop even after lunch ended. It finally ceased when Do-yeon, with the calmest expression of all, picked up a fallen chair and hurled it.
'All eight of them got beaten without even getting a hit in.'
One-on-one, the boys would be stronger, but no one beats a mob.
With the girls united as one, it was impossible to measure who hit how much.
Especially in a situation like this where they were all insisting it was them.
"I started it, okay?"
"No, I did. I'm the ringleader."
"I hit him the most."
Kim Ga-eun ran her fingers through her disheveled hair and sneered.
"Punish us if you want. But you'll have to punish every single second-year girl."
"Yeah! We'll all get punished equally!"
"Expel us all and turn second year into an all-boys school!"
"Why should you get expelled? Those wrongdoers should!"
Yeon-hee's mom shouted, her face flushed red.
Right. Do Ha-jun isn't the only one with a mom. Our girls have moms too.
Once the kids' fight ended, now it was the parents' fight.
"I've failed to raise my child properly. Whatever punishment the school decides, we'll accept it gladly..."
There were people like Jang Ji-won's mother-in-law, who readily admitted fault and apologized.
And others like Do Ha-jun's mom, who still hadn't come to her senses.
"But violence is never okay! No matter how much they provoked you, the moment you resort to violence, the hitter is always wrong!"
Even Do Ha-jun's mom like that.
"You wanna go right now? Then I'll leak that KakaoTalk group from the boys to the press."
"I'll make sure that content goes into your son's permanent record! What's the point of college? What's the point of studying? You'll just sexually harass girls in your major there too!"
When it became clear their sons were at a disadvantage no matter who looked, they shut their mouths.
And Park Su-hwan's dad, whom I'd wondered where the twist was.
The uncle who had gone all the way to the smoking area at the high school ☆High School★ and came back late, sauntering in. After hearing the situation.
"You!"
He beat his son like a beast right in the middle of the classroom. The kid whose face was already purple from the beating.
"You little shit!"
"Dad, calm down...!"
Park Su-hwan got beaten like a dog. In front of all the kids watching.
For Park Su-hwan, who loved showing off, it was the ultimate punishment.
Seo Jae-kyeom's mom, watching the scene with a disgusted expression, lifted her head and declared.
"Only the boys should be punished."
"Jae-kyeom's mom! How can you say that when you raised a son too...!"
"What? My son wouldn't do something that sleazy."
In the end, the incident concluded with only the eight boys who started it being disciplined, excluding the girls.
The scheduled parent-teacher conferences turned into meetings about this incident.
"Serves you right."
I sneered at Park Su-hwan, who was huffing and sniffling in front of the teachers' office.
I'd detoured on my way down from the nurse's office just to taunt him since I spotted him there.
From inside, I could hear Do Ha-jun's mom sobbing and begging for mercy one time, then screaming about suing. Next to her, Do Ha-jun's dad was snapping, 'Stop it, you're embarrassing us!'
Park Su-hwan's dad? After beating his son to his heart's content, he went off for another smoke.
Park Su-hwan glared at me as I jeered.
"Don't get cocky, Kang Da-hye. You think you're special just because Jeong Eun-seong and Seo Jae-kyeom take your side?"
"What? Are they the Chamber of Commerce? Issuing special privilege certificates?"
If I'm special, it's because I'm lucky enough to have regressed.
If those two are special, it's because they got tangled up with a regressor like me.
Sometimes I feel like the protagonist of a regression story!
I teased Park Su-hwan, who looked like he wanted to kill me but couldn't bring himself to.
"Right. What did you say last time? That you won't talk to anyone below Seo Jae-kyeom or Jeong Eun-seong level?"
'Nah, no way. Kang Da-hye's not that level. I'll pay you to talk to me.'
Thinking about it, this bastard has been treating me like a girl he pays to talk to since then.
"Don't flatter yourself. I don't talk to you guys not because I'm stuck up, but because I'm afraid your cheap vibe will rub off on me. I hate your level of hanging around watching that kind of video in class, and I hate your intelligence for not even knowing it's embarrassing."
It's not my problem. It's yours.
"If you don't fix that personality, no girl will ever talk to you in the future."
I tapped my phone and showed him the girls' KakaoTalk group.
Yeah~ That one your gang always spies on through Jang Ji-won.

Even while you were getting beat, they weren't talking about you at all. Just Jeong Eun-seong.
"That's why you pull aggro from girls like this. Because otherwise, you have no way to interact with them."
"That orphan fuck..."
"Huh?"
Still hasn't come to his senses.
I tsked and pocketed my phone.
"Must be nice. Having parents who beat you like a dog in front of your friends."
"......"
Thinking about it, it pissed me off.
He couldn't even whimper when Seo Jae-kyeom hit him, but with Jeong Eun-seong, he immediately pulls the orphan card... Is Jeong Eun-seong an easy target?
"Don't underestimate Jeong Eun-seong. He's got a million female fans behind him!"
I kicked Park Su-hwan's shin while he was off guard.
"Ack!"
I bolted.
Straight to the nurse's office where Jeong Eun-seong was.
