Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription¶
Scope¶
This transcription follows all 138 ordered reader images embedded in the supplied Chapter 13 MHT. Readable English dialogue, narration, major sound effects, and visible action are preserved where legible. Promotional and scanlation-credit material is summarized rather than reproduced line by line.
Content note¶
The chapter contains severe school bullying, poverty-based humiliation, gang violence, threats of mutilation, and an adult assaulting hired criminals.
Images 001–014 — The “Great Khan” challenges Na Hwa-jin¶
The chapter resumes with the yellow-jacketed delinquent known as the Great Khan of Gu-un confronting Na Hwa-jin.
He boasts about the reputation he built through violence.
I CRUSHED THIS WHOLE AREA EIGHT YEARS AGO.
He believes age has not changed the hierarchy he established and assumes Na is simply another adult who can be intimidated.
The delinquent throws a punch.
Na’s kick reaches him first.
The impact folds the larger youth backward before his fist can connect.
Na explains through the exchange that confidence based only on defeating weaker people is not strength. The Great Khan has spent years surrounded by students who fear his name, not opponents capable of challenging him.
Na continues striking him until the young man can no longer control the pace.
Images 015–035 — Gwonhyeok’s first experience of class humiliation¶
A flashback shows Gwonhyeok in elementary school.
He comes from a poor family and enters an apartment playground where wealthier children immediately notice his clothes and background.
The children insult his mother and say poor families should not have children.
One boy repeats an adult’s cruel remark about poor people using contraception.
Gwonhyeok initially endures the words in silence.
Then he attacks.
The bully falls, and the other children become frightened.
Gwonhyeok discovers a simple rule that seems to erase class shame:
if he can beat people, they cannot look down on him.
The insight becomes the foundation of his identity.
Images 036–054 — Violence becomes social rank¶
Gwonhyeok grows stronger and more aggressive.
He tracks down students who once mocked him and forces them to bow or apologize.
Other delinquents gather around him.
He creates a hierarchy where physical strength determines:
- who may speak;
- who receives respect;
- who performs errands;
- and who becomes a target.
The admiration he receives feels like proof that he has escaped poverty.
In reality, he has reproduced the same humiliation that first wounded him.
The timid Hyeongju remains near the bottom of this system.
He and Gwonhyeok attend the same school for years but barely exchange meaningful words.
Images 055–073 — The construction-site ambush¶
The present-day confrontation shifts to an unfinished construction site.
Adult gangsters have been paid to attack Gwonhyeok.
They restrain him, beat him, and prepare to make the punishment permanent.
One man threatens to cut off Gwonhyeok’s hand at the wrist.
For the first time, the school tyrant occupies the position he forced on others: surrounded, helpless, and dependent on whether stronger people feel mercy.
Hyeongju appears.
He has every reason to walk away.
Instead, he interferes.
Images 074–096 — Hyeongju refuses to watch¶
Hyeongju strikes or shoves one of the adults and begs them to stop.
The gangsters laugh at the small student.
They beat him repeatedly.
Hyeongju continues kicking and struggling even after his body begins failing.
One attacker remarks that the boy has been resisting for nearly ten minutes.
A monitoring message or emergency signal reaches Na:
BABY IN TROUBLE!
Hyeongju’s heart rate is displayed at approximately 177 BPM.
Na arrives and asks why he risked himself for someone who made his school life miserable.
Hyeongju says he and Gwonhyeok are not friends.
That does not mean he can watch adults mutilate him.
THERE ARE LIMITS.
Hyeongju’s answer rejects the hierarchy both groups accept. Gwonhyeok’s cruelty does not make every cruelty toward him acceptable.
Images 097–116 — Na learns that the attackers were hired¶
Na confirms that the men were paid to beat Gwonhyeok.
The gangsters order him to leave.
They assume a government employee will avoid a fight with adults.
Na says their age changes the amount of restraint he must show.
These are not students requiring corrective discipline.
They are hired criminals who threatened children with mutilation.
He removes his jacket or adjusts his posture and steps forward.
Images 117–138 — No need to go easy¶
The adults rush Na with fists and weapons.
He dismantles the group through direct strikes, throws, and joint damage.
Heads collide with concrete and steel.
Arms are twisted beyond ordinary fighting range.
Na tells them that, because they are grown men, he does not need to soften every blow.
LET’S LET OFF SOME STEAM.
The hired gangsters finally understand that the quiet-looking civil servant is far more dangerous than the school tyrant they were paid to punish.
Gwonhyeok and Hyeongju watch from the ground.
The chapter ends with Na still standing over the adults, prepared to continue until they fully understand the boundary they crossed.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Gwonhyeok’s violence began as protection from class shame¶
The chapter explains the wound without excusing the hierarchy he later built.
Hyeongju’s action creates the first real challenge to Gwonhyeok’s worldview¶
Strength did not save Gwonhyeok. A person he treated as weak did.
“There are limits” becomes the moral center¶
Hyeongju refuses both submission to Gwonhyeok and revenge through passive complicity.
Na distinguishes students from hired adults¶
His response becomes much harsher once he confirms that grown criminals were paid to mutilate children.
