Chapter 35- Time Is Up
Jin-woo\'s body then pivoted and his other leg swept out at the second boy.
Having enough time to react to Jin-woo\'s kick, the second boy shifted his body in a position to tank Jin-woo\'s foot and then catch it. But the moment Jin-woo\'s leg landed on his chest it felt like a wooden bat had slammed against his sternum, the pain caused him to let out a cry of agony.
The force of Jin-woo\'s kick was so strong it swept the second boy off his feet and made him land a few meters away in front of the crowd of students.
The sounds of Jin-woo\'s kicks landing on the two boys sounded impactful and it caused everyone to instinctively wince.
The remaining two boys, however, were equally dauntless and they used Jin-woo being occupied with the first two boys to approach.
The third boy threw out a punch which Jin-woo barely dodged, but the fourth boy used this chance to wrap his hand around Jin-woo\'s neck.
"Come here."
The fourth boy said as he quickly retreated so Jin-woo would lose his footing. The third boy also approached and further held down Jin-woo.
Before Jin-woo could think of a way to get away from the twos\' grasp, a few more boys sprinted out from the side of the crowd and grabbed onto him.
"Quick, hold his arms!"
"Damn it, why is he so strong?"
Thud!
"ARG!!"
Jin-woo\'s leg suddenly lashed out and one boy let out a cry before collapsing to the ground clutching his thigh.
"Fuck, forget his hands, grab his legs before he cripples someone!"
It took seven boys dogpiling Jin-woo before they could wear him out.
"Jin!"
Yoon-min called out from across the crowd, but he and Micah were being blocked by more boys.
"Move him over there until he calms down."
Ye-jun said as he dismissively waved his hand to the side.
"Finally, we can leave."
"To think he would try and lock us up in here."
"Yeah, but don\'t you think it\'s strange? He was warning us about going out after someone fell through the window."
"…"
"Wait... You don\'t think he has something to do with it do you?"
The students all came up with different speculations about the reason behind Jin-woo\'s weird behavior, but despite the dark theories put forth, they didn\'t hesitate to move toward the gate to leave.
"Let go!"
Jin-woo yelled as he watched his class unlock the gate to leave.
"What\'s with you, Vice Prez? Just calm down."
One of the boys holding Jin-woo said; he was holding Jin-woo not because of Ye-jun but because he was somewhat worried about this class VP of his.
Jin-woo tried to struggle some more before he finally gave up. He watched helplessly as more people from his class left the tennis court. Suddenly, the sense of danger lingering at the back of his mind dramatically spiked.
Jin-woo\'s expression became solemn as he shifted his gaze back to the body beneath the window.
"Let him go, get off him!"
Yoon-min and Micah finally got past the blockade and rushed up to shove the boys holding Jin-woo. They all let Jin-woo go seeing that he had calmed down.
"Jin, are you okay?"
Yoon-min asked after glaring at the seven boys who had been holding Jin-woo.
However, Jin-woo didn\'t answer or even look in his direction. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the students gathered around the body beneath the window.
"Jin?"
Yoon-min called out to Jin-woo again, even waving his hand in front of his face, but Jin-woo continued to remain silent.
Yoon-min and Micah couldn\'t help but share a look of worry when they saw this.
Suddenly, Jin-woo said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Time is up."
When Yoon-min was about to ask Jin-woo what he meant, a sound of commotion came from the students who were gathered around the body beneath the window.
Yoon-min and Micah looked over to see everyone scattering frantically—the screams erupting from the mouths of the female students reaching all the way over here.
"What the…?"
Yoon-min tried to ask what was happening, but his face along with Micah\'s suddenly stiffened when they got a clear view of the body beneath the window after everyone ran away.
The body that was initially lying motionlessly on the ground, was now bent over a male student. Another boy, perhaps a friend of this male student, instead of retreating, dived toward the female student on top of his friend.
Two more boys stepped forward to help and they finally managed to pry the female student off. But as they were holding down the frantically struggling female student, the male student who was attacked suddenly began twisting about on the ground. Then in the next second, he stopped, only to suddenly spring up from the ground and sped toward the nearest female student who was too slow in retreating.
Shrill screams echoed out from the female student as this boy jumped on top of her before he began…
"Wha-What the fuck? Is he biting her?"
Yoon-min asked while staring at the strange scene with a confused expression. However, the trembling of his voice gave away that he was getting nervous. A word had sprung into his head when he saw this scene, but Yoon-min denied it almost immediately, this wasn\'t some movie.
However, he wasn\'t the only one who had this word come to mind when they saw this scene. Micah and Jin-woo, as well as the students who just exited the tennis court, had similarly thought about that word.
"What are you doing?! RUN!!"
Jin-woo was the first to react, and he screamed at his classmates who were just standing outside the tennis court like rigid posts.
Jin-woo\'s shout seemed to knock some sense back into the students as everyone hurriedly turned and rushed back to the tennis court.
"What\'s going on?! Why is he biting her?!"
"Damn it, isn\'t that a fucking zombie?!"
"Are you being serious? Those aren\'t real! Those two must have gone crazy or something!"
The students began to panic as they returned to the tennis court. At the same time, the dozen or so students who had first gone out to look at the body were coming back.
Jin-woo immediately rushed towards the gate shoving his classmates aside. The feeling of danger was blaring in his head causing his heart to palpitate with fear. By the time he reached the wide-open gated entrance, all the students who were initially outside and could move had entered the tennis court… except for one girl.
As this girl came staggering towards the entrance of the tennis court, Jin-woo suddenly slammed the gate shut and quickly bolted it.
"No! What are you doing, let me in?!"
The girl cried out in panic when she saw that was locked out. However, Jin-woo only took a step back and looked down at the hand she was cradling. The girl\'s other hand was covering the area, but Jin-woo could see blood spilling out from between her fingers.
A cold chill worm its way up Jin-woo\'s spine and reached his brain, causing his head to go numb. Heart beating wildly in his chest, Jin-woo took another step back away from the gate.
