A few days before the sports festival, the school was completely turned upside down.
“Have we practiced until now? Does this mean we can’t have our sports festival?”
“Just close it! Our school has the Four Great Kings and the Blood Scent Guild leader, you know?!”
During the break, the students gathered in front of the classroom monitor, anxiously watching the news on the screen.
[At a high school located in Gangnam District, a black and foreign gap is visible on the sports field. This is a gate. The gate was first discovered at…]
The sports field was bustling with the filming crew and reporters from the broadcasting station. Gates were not always featured on the news whenever they were discovered.
“The Dungeon Management Bureau has stated that, since this school is attended by the Four Great Kings and the Blood Scent Guild leader, there is no need to worry about student safety.”
The reporter, who was broadcasting live from the sports field, could be heard through the open window.
“Contrary to expectations that the Four Great Kings and Blood Scent Guild would take control of the gate, the guild that will be closing the gate at this school is ‘Onsaemiro’.”
This was a school in Gangnam where the top-ranked students attended, with the Four Great Kings and Blood Scent Guild leaders.
The gate would be closed by a guild from this school, which was quite an interesting development.
“Jibin! Why didn’t the Four Great Kings get the bid this time?”
“Yeah, when I saw the morning news, I thought for sure the Four Great Kings or Blood Scent would close it!”
The questions poured in towards Han Jibin, the most approachable member of the Four Great Kings. Sitting on the desk, Jibin cheerfully answered.
“We have too many tasks, and Onsaemiro doesn’t have as much to do!”
“Ahhh.”
The children quickly understood and nodded, and the classroom, which had been loud, quieted down a bit.
“Wait a minute. Does this mean Do Ihyeon is coming to our school?”
“Ahhh! I’m definitely going to see him that day!”
“Where? Are you going to enter the dungeon with him?”
The classroom, which seemed to quiet down, became noisy again. The girls were all talking excitedly about Do Ihyeon, the leader of the Onsaemiro Guild.
“It’s hard to even see Do Ihyeon, but we’ll get a chance now!”
They were so enthusiastic that they referred to the gate opening on the school sports field as an opportunity to see him, showing their astonishing fan devotion.
No one in the room dared to argue with this view.
Onsaemiro, the guild where the second-ranked Hunter, Do Ihyeon, was the leader, was one of the famous Seven Great Guilds, currently holding the third rank in the guild rankings.
Do Ihyeon was famous for being the leader of the infamous Iljin High, and with his handsome face, he was just as renowned as the Four Great Kings.
However, seeing him in person was so rare that it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime event.
It was so difficult to catch a glimpse of him that if anyone happened to see Do Ihyeon, even girls who weren’t close to the person would gather around, clamoring for a review of what he looked like in person.
Because of his shy personality, it was rumored that he hid away to avoid being surrounded by fans.
The mood in the classroom quickly shifted, and the girls, excited about the thought of seeing Do Ihyeon in person, blushed with anticipation.
The day of the sports festival arrived, and the much-anticipated day had finally come.
“Ihyeon, let’s go.”
In the classroom of Iljin High, which was located just across from Gamsung High and a nearby apartment complex, Ha Maekgeum, a member of Onsaemiro and the top student of Iljin High, shook Do Ihyeon awake, who had been sleeping face down all day.
He usually went for late-night walks for chocolate and caught up on sleep at school, so normally, Ha Maekgeum wouldn’t have woken him up, but today was different.
It was the day they had to go and close the gate that had opened on the sports field of Gamsung High.
“Ugh.”
How many times had it shaken?
Doihyun slightly flinched and gradually lifted his upper body.
The white face was clearly marked with the same crease as his school uniform that had been pressed against it the whole time.
“Hey, get up quickly!”
Haemalgeum, muttering that she didn’t know whether she was a friend or a mom, forcibly made Doihyun sit up.
As a result, Doihyun stood up straight, still rubbing his eyes as he seemed drowsy.
“Ah, is it lunchtime?”
Despite being the one who had won the auction for the Gamsung High gate, Doihyun started talking nonsense, earning a sharp glare.
Haemalgeum grabbed him and dragged him along with the guild members through the high school entrance.
When the group in navy blue uniforms came out of the school in broad daylight, pedestrians passing by looked at them curiously.
“Gasp, is that Onsaemiro?!”
Thinking they were delinquent students, a passerby tried to walk away quickly but stopped when they saw Doihyun, who had been nearly dragged out by Haemalgeum.
It was the real Doihyun!
The passerby quickly reached for their phone to capture this monumental moment.
At that moment, a thick hand covered the phone camera.
The passerby, slowly lifting their gaze from the screen, flinched when they saw the owner of the hand.
“One picture, ten thousand won.”
“W-what?”
With a threatening glare, the passerby couldn’t respond outwardly and only thought to themselves,
‘They are really delinquent students!’
I never thought I’d be extorted by a high school student.
As expected, the passerby rummaged through their wallet. However, there were only two one-thousand-won bills, a card, and an ID.
Seeing this, the delinquent high school student spoke with a voice as thick as his hand.
“Cash only.”
When did he start speaking informally?
Though frustrated, the passerby couldn’t argue and had to walk away with tears in their eyes.
Haemalgeum, who had been watching the scene, gave a thumbs-up, signaling approval. Doihyun, who had been ignoring it, now seemed to snap out of his stupor, walking with bright eyes.
When Doihyun and the Onsaemiro guild members arrived at Gamsung High, they hesitated when they saw the distant reporters. Knowing that Doihyun avoided reporters, everyone wondered why so many were gathered.
As the guild members, flustered by the unexpected press, stood frozen, Haemalgeum, who saw Doihyun’s lack of movement, irritably messed up her hair.
She boldly walked ahead and pushed her way through the reporters.
Thanks to her, a wide path opened, and the guild members moved to surround Doihyun like bodyguards.
At that moment, all eyes were on one spot.
Surrounded by his guild members, Doihyun casually walked toward the gate, his long legs swinging.
The students pressing their faces to the windows followed his steps with their eyes.
Knowing that if they cheered loudly, Doihyun would feel pressured and run straight into the dungeon, everyone kept quiet as promised.
After Doihyun entered the dungeon, followed by the guild members, the school was in complete disarray.
“Did you see that? Did you see?!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen Doihyun in person!”
“How is it that his hair is silver too? Ah, he’s just perfect.”
The female students, who had been eagerly waiting for the real-life encounter, looked out the window with dreamy, misty eyes, still longing.
The class was practically not progressing at all because of it.
Among the students who were sticking to the window, Dana was also there.
She had no interest in it, but she stood by the window with her friends, and as soon as she saw Dohyun, her eyes widened.
‘He’s definitely the main character.’
Even though he might not have appeared in “The 0th Rank Gangster is Living a Double Life as a Nerd,” in this world, there were quite a few students who were the protagonists of their own novels, just like the couple from the Last Gate who exchanged terrible confessions.
Such students all had shining appearances like that.
Among them, Dohyun had an appearance that stood out, like the top 4 most famous delinquent students of the school.
From his unusual silver hair, skin so pale it seemed as though he hadn’t seen sunlight in years, sharp features that could be seen from a distance, and overall an ethereal appearance that gave off a mysterious aura.
“How long does it usually take to close the gate?”
“I don’t know? But if we keep waiting, maybe it’ll eventually close.”
The teacher, who had almost given up on the female students talking with dreamy voices, continued with the class regardless of whether the students were sticking to the windows.
“We have gym class in the afternoon, right? Let’s do the class outside on the field!”
“Hey, hey. Will it be okay? How are we supposed to have class with the gate still open?”
“Ah, I want to see it up close.”
Maybe because the trustworthy top four delinquents and Yeonhayeon were in the same class, the students kept murmuring with a sense of regret, as if they had lost their courage.
“Hey guys, once we enter the dungeon, we won’t be able to get out soon, so let’s just take the class.”
At that moment, Eunbada, the class president, stood up and sent the students back to their seats.
Seeing the students who ignored her words but listened well to the class president made the teacher sigh, but they quickly continued the lesson.
With just a little more effort, it seemed like Yeonhayeon’s sharpness would snap in half, but luckily, it didn’t.
It was really, truly unbelievable, but the gym class was held outside on the field.
“Haha, anyway, it’s not a problem to have class here with Class 3, right?”
The PE teacher, speaking in a carefree tone, and the excited students, practicing for the sports festival with bright faces, were all just amazed.
‘Are all protagonists in novels this fearless?’
It had been several months since I fell into the world of a novel, and I was now having doubts about the personalities of the students.
I got up from the bench to practice for the event I was participating in.
This time, the event was the foot on the barrel race.
The students of the class stood in a line, bending at the waist, and I stood at the very front of the line, taking off my shoes.
‘This is so nerve-wracking… Really nerve-wracking…’
The students on either side of me, Jikanhan and Eunbada, extended their hands.
I had to take their hands, but… would I be able to climb if I did?
I slightly turned my head and tried to avoid looking at the frightening faces of the female students in every classroom window.
It felt like if I took their hands, they would immediately break through the windows and run toward me.
“Dana, trust me.”
Eunbada, with a refreshing expression, created a cringeworthy atmosphere, making me want to escape this situation even more.
But what could I do?
I had to do it.
As soon as I grabbed their hands and placed my foot on the first barrel…
“Hah! Onsaemiro!”
“Already? No wonder
