Chapter 2: Ring of Rebirth (2)

The third period was the same as any other day.
Suddenly, everything changed.
At first, Choi Hyuk thought that the student next to him was pus.h.i.+ng him. That wasn’t the case. The student was being pushed as well. The middle of the cla.s.sroom distorted and the students were roughly pushed towards the walls along with their desks.
Shrieks, screams and smas.h.i.+ng sounds were mixed together until it suddenly became quiet.
In the middle of the cla.s.sroom, a ring that took up half the cla.s.sroom started to appear. It was similar to a boxing ring, however, there was a semi-transparent wall that wrapped around it and it was floating at waist height.
As soon as the ring had completely materialized, the sounds erupted again.
“It hurts…”
Female students who had severely collided into something groaned.
There were many students that were easily injured as they didn’t exercise regularly.
Even in this situation, everyone looked for their phones.
“Ah… the frame cracked!”
Someone threw a fit. Behind him, others sympathized with him.
“Huh? Mine too.”
“Mine as well!”
There were only noises of people supporting their phones.
The cla.s.sroom door wouldn’t open.
“It really won’t open!”
Although the know-it-all b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Lee Mingi, tried his best, the sliding door wouldn’t budge. It didn’t even wobble.
“Move.”
Lee Mingi was surprised at Kang Minho’s shout and moved aside.
At the same time Mingi moved aside, Kang Minho ran and kicked the door. If Mingi didn’t avoid it at the right time, he would have been hit instead of the door. Kang Minho raised his knee up to his chest before striking out in front of him. It contained the full force of 190cm tall man. However…
Cras.h.!.+
The sound wasn’t refres.h.i.+ng.
The sliding door didn’t even move a bit.
‘How could it be like that?’
Choi Hyuk was completely surprised. It did not follow the laws of physics. He felt an enormous sense of inconsistency.
It looked like Kang Minho’s leg hurt as he walked with a slight limp. Although he quickly stood like nothing was wrong, his expression darkened.
“Quiet! Quiet! Stay calm. Kang Minho, go sit in your seat.”
The stocky authoritative teacher who appeared to be in his forties tried to control the students. However, it wasn’t an easy task to complete amidst the confusion.
“Teacher! Something’s written in front of the ring!”
Once a student near the blackboard shouted, the students all gathered towards the front of the cla.s.sroom. The ring was in the middle of the cla.s.sroom and it was too cramped and chaotic for 30 students to gather around it.
Only after everyone had pushed him away with no concern did Choi Hyuk slowly make his way to the front. There were words written on the semi-transparent wall. Fortunately, there were no students taller than him besides Kang Minho, so he had no trouble reading from the back.
[The Ring of Rebirth]
Karma will be distributed when you climb into the ring.
The first person to climb up can choose their opponent. Unless someone subst.i.tutes for the chosen person, that person will stand in the ring.
Only when you kill more than one person on the ring are you permitted to leave.
You can kill up to five people.
You have no choice. Kill. Only then will you kill.
“Murder? Kill someone?”
A female student was astonished.
“f.u.c.k, is this real? G.o.dd.a.m.n, f.u.c.king d.a.m.n. What a f.u.c.king scoop.”
Bae Hyunsung shouted with a loud voice.
“Quiet, quiet! Stay still until we fully understand the situation!”
Although the math teacher wanted to keep the situation under control, the female students protested.
“How are we supposed to understand the situation when our phones are dead?!”
The math teacher who wasn’t good at handling female students couldn’t find a solution. It was only chaotic, there was no one that was properly a.n.a.lyzing the situation.
Choi Hyuk quietly sat in a corner. At a glance, he looked like he was scared. However, his thoughts were complicated.
‘If what is written is true, what should I do?’
The students had already checked the windows. They wouldn’t open. Nor would they break. They didn’t even budge.
‘If I can’t leave here, will I starve to death? No, before I die how would I get rid of my p.i.s.s and s.h.i.+t?’
It was a critical problem.
“Quiet! Bae Hyunsung, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Aren’t you going to sit?”
The math teacher seemed to have made up his mind as he personally grabbed the students’ arms and forcefully sat them down in their seats. He didn’t even let the female students off. Although Bae Hyunsung and a few others had a dissatisfied look, they still had the common sense to not pick a fight with their teacher. And the math teacher had a strong build.
A scene unfolded where students listened to their teacher, sat down in their chairs and conversed with each other. While constantly checking their phones.
‘I don’t think that it’ll be solved like that.’
Choi Hyuk’s heart slowly started to beat harder.
‘Would it really be solved by waiting? What if, like the words written on the ring, we could only leave by killing someone?’
Choi Hyuk forcefully tried to control his thumping heart.
‘Would I have to live by killing someone?’
Choi Hyuk couldn’t forget that day his mother cried endlessly. He never fought after that day. It came to a point where he would shake his head at the thought of hitting someone. It had already become not a belief or a decision but a hardened habit.
Choi Hyuk made up his mind.
‘If… everyone plans to starve to death, I will too.’
