I've seen a lot of people leave abusive comments for writers and get sent to another world, but I must be the first one to come back from an editorial office in a frenzy with a sledgehammer and a hammer.
When you watch dramas, the old chairman characters fall down holding their backs when they get too angry. It was true. After a moment of extreme confusion, I finally calmed down. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my room and looked at my changed appearance.
My hair was a mess of tangled blond. I was quite tall and bulky, with a muscular body and tattoos on my wrists and forearms. This main character, who looks like a street gangster, is none other than Han Seong-jin. He's the infamous NTR guy who appeared at the end of Love in School and is very well-known in the academy and the surrounding area. It was truly amazing that when I became Han Seong-jin, his past memories came back to me as vividly as if they were my own. This gave me the full story of what Han Seong-jin did, how he lives now, and what his relationships are like.
"Tsk. People are like this because of the environment they grow up in."
He was the main culprit who caused the NTR ending by barging in at the end of the light novel with no explanation, but when I looked back on his life, I found it even more surprising than the person I wasn't able to become. I picked up the cell phone next to the creaking bed. There was a pattern lock, but as soon as I held the phone, the pattern input became as natural as if it had been mine from the beginning.
There were already a lot of messages. A good portion of them were trashy messages from gang group chats. They talked about getting together and riding motorcycles, wondering where to go, which clubs had good "water" (slang for girls), and hitting home runs. Since I had already decided to meet some iljin girls from an all-girls' high school and have them stay with me, I even told them to come and choose me first.
In addition to the group chat, there were several personal chat rooms.
[Sex Partner 5 / 22 / C Cup / Big Pie / Jungle]: Seong-jin~ Are you free today? My parents are going on a trip, and my younger brother is also going to a study cafe, so we have a lot of free time at home.
The problem is that only the numbered sex partners and some physical characteristics of the women were saved, not their names. She was a pretty girl with a mole around her mouth and a brown layered perm that looked quite good on her, but I don't even know her name. I'm sure he heard it, but it probably means that Han Seong-jin didn't even remember it properly. The same was true for all other chats.
I sent a short reply to the personal messages from the "sex partners," saying that I had no time for now. After sending a message to the gang telling them to handle it themselves since I was in too much pain to move, I checked other messages.
[Web Transfer] For a smooth opening ceremony, Jinsoo Higher Education Academy students are requested to gather in the auditorium on the 5th floor of the annex by 9 a.m. on March 2nd and be led by their homeroom teacher.
"It's before the semester starts… Then it becomes something that never happened."
I felt uncomfortable thinking about the heroines who were NTRed, fawning over Han Seong-jin, and even changed their appearance. I had liked the heroines so much… But I'm glad I'm Han Seong-jin. Since I am the culprit who committed NTR, if I just act properly, that won't happen, and we will be able to create a just world here. A world where the heroines are happy.
First, I need to encourage the key players so things can go as they should.
The First Day of a New Life
The opening ceremony of Jinsoo Higher Education Academy on March 2nd was still quite chilly. From what was described in the original work, the high school seemed to have a similar role to a real high school. The difference is that the entrance age is one year older than a typical high school. Since it had been a while since I graduated, I went to school with a little bit of excitement.
But as soon as I passed through the school gate, I received countless reactions from students. They weren't asking to shake hands.
"H-Han Seong-jin…"
"Hey, don't make eye contact for no reason. What if he notices?"
"What class is he in? Please, not our class, no."
It was obvious that they were terrified.
'Wow, you've really lived a splendid life.'
As soon as they saw me, I could feel the students around me getting anxious. I was scary, and the gang I was with was scary, so the students kept their distance and quietly avoided eye contact. As I recalled, I had never personally committed violence against students at other academies. The problem was that the little guys in my group were not like that. If they made a slight mistake, they would easily resort to violence, and since I, the leader, did nothing to stop them, our group was an object of fear at the academy.
'First impression is zero points.'
The gang was scary, but I never thought about how I, the highest-ranking person in the gang, would be viewed by ordinary students. It would be nice if I could just be easily accepted by everyone as a reformed person, but it would be strange for everyone to suddenly look at me favorably when I have such a bad reputation.
So, while receiving all the fearful looks from the students, I made my way through the crowd to the fifth floor of the Jinsoo Bridge Annex where the opening ceremony would be held.
"Oh, Seong-jin!"
"Hey, it's been a while! Why was it so hard to see you during vacation?"
The iljin gang saw me as their leader and greeted me. I roughly acknowledged their greetings and glanced at the signs held by the teachers standing in front of the auditorium.
'Third year… Class 3.'
As we headed toward the third-year class, a look of great despair appeared on the faces of the students standing there. I just passed by those guys and found one person.
'There he is.'
Short and neat… so, he has hair cut just like a "student" and looks quite small compared to me. A male student who looked somewhat unconfident, but his face was quite handsome. Gong Young-bae. He's the main character of the romantic comedy light novel Love in School and an unlucky man who ended up having all the heroines NTRed by me, Han Seong-jin.
And next to him was a female student with long black hair and a very voluptuous figure for her age. She was chatting with Gong Young-bae. She had a pretty face, but her long eyelashes and mole under her eye added to her charm, and her lips were shiny no matter what she put on. This female student, who had a special appearance compared to other students, was Lee Yu-ri, the student council president of Jinsoo High and Gong Young-bae's childhood friend. She's an unfortunate heroine who has feelings for Gong Young-bae but can't confess them, and both of them end up in a relationship only to be captured by Han Seong-jin.
'She's even prettier in person.'
It was a face I had seen many times in illustrations, but the real Lee Yu-ri boasted an overwhelming beauty that was even better than the illustration. I was momentarily staring at Yu-ri Lee, then cleared my throat, reminded myself of my original purpose, and approached Gong Young-bae.
"Hey."
Gong Young-bae turned to me, took one look at my face, and his complexion instantly turned pale.
"N-no…"
Well, I shouldn't make people this scared from the start. I smiled and placed one hand on Gong Young-bae's shoulder. I spoke in a more gentle manner.
"Yes, you are Gong Young-bae. I have something I want to say for a moment. Why don't we talk about it separately?"
"H-hi!"
Perhaps because of my harsh impression and reputation, I ended up scaring Gong Young-bae even more, contrary to my intention. Then, Yu-ri Lee stepped between the two of us and blocked me.
"What, what? Are you Han Seong-jin? What do you have to say to Young-bae?!"
"I called him because I have some business to discuss. You don't have to worry about me talking to him. Hey, Gong Young-bae. It will be over soon, so come out for a moment. This is not something I should say in front of other people."
"Hehe… U-Yu-ri…"
Gong Young-bae was pathetically busy standing behind Yu-ri Lee, who was shorter than him, and just looking at me. There was no way I wouldn't be scared of Yu-ri Lee, but what was this bastard doing, using his childhood friend, a girl, as a shield?
"Hey, what are you doing hiding behind her? I said it won't take long. Just finish it quickly before the opening ceremony starts."
"Huh? Hey!"
I lightly pushed the resistant Yu-ri Lee to the side and waved my hand at Gong Young-bae. I didn't want to hold a man's hand and drag him away.
Gong Young-bae, who saw Yu-ri Lee being helplessly pushed away, looked at me with trembling eyes and had no choice but to follow my gesture. Yu-ri Lee got angry and tried to follow, but I stopped her, saying that other students around her might get into trouble.
Thanks to that, I escaped into the deserted hallway with Gong Young-bae for a while, and as soon as we were alone, I asked him a blunt question.
"Hey, Gong Young-bae."
"Why…?"
"From now on, listen carefully to what I say and make your choice. Lee Yu-ri, Jeong Eun-ji, Choi Su-yeon."
When the names of the three women were mentioned, Gong Young-bae's eyes trembled as if there was an earthquake.
"Which of these people are you going to date? Tell me."
