Opening — Na rejects the gang’s rule¶
An adult G.Y enforcer tells Na Hwa-jin that the criminal world has a simple rule: the loser submits to the winner.
He says the adult gangsters are only doing what they are supposed to do after losing to the student who founded G.Y.
Na refuses to waste time on a puppet who surrendered his judgment to a high-schooler.
The man attacks.
A real-fight specialist¶
The adult is physically imposing and experienced.
He threatens to tie intruders to a stone and drop them into the Han River, or tear open their stomachs.
Na watches his movement and realizes that the man relies on a lifetime of street fighting rather than organized martial-arts instruction.
The gangster initially believes his larger body and criminal experience guarantee victory.
Na’s speed and timing immediately challenge that assumption.
Quietly taking opponents down¶
The chapter also follows Jang Kwon-hyuk’s fight at G.Y headquarters.
Kwon-hyuk moves through the adult enforcers one at a time.
He does not complain about being outnumbered or use accumulated injuries as an excuse.
The narration describes him as Guwon’s “great monster”: a fighter who continues advancing no matter how many opponents appear or how much damage he absorbs.
The gang begins to understand why his reputation survived even after he stopped ruling the school.
Na is surprised by the adult’s endurance¶
Back in Na’s confrontation, the adult withstands a powerful strike and remains standing.
Na acknowledges that the man is not a weak criminal.
The claim that a high-school student defeated him now sounds more alarming.
If this adult truly submitted after losing, the hidden student must possess extraordinary violence and control.
Memory of Choi Ga-yoon¶
The thought of a dangerous student triggers a memory.
A woman speaks to a younger Na while he is still in military uniform.
She says she is worried about a violent student in her class. The boy gathered delinquents and caused trouble every day.
Rumors suggest connections to gangs.
The vice principal and homeroom teacher advised her not to become involved because the student was large, intense, and frightening.
She cannot accept that response.
“BUT STILL, I CAN’T GIVE UP ON HIM, RIGHT?”
The woman’s belief that teachers should not abandon difficult children clearly shaped Na’s later view of education.
Na turns the fight into interrogation¶
The adult tries to continue despite fatigue.
Na catches and twists his hand or fingers, breaking his balance and inflicting enough pain to end the exchange.
The man screams.
Na’s face becomes unusually intense.
He orders him to speak.
“TELL ME.”
“WHAT’S THE NAME OF THAT HIGH SCHOOLER?”
The chapter closes on Na realizing that the leader behind G.Y may be connected to the teacher from his past.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. “The loser submits” is treated as moral surrender¶
Na does not accept physical defeat as a reason to participate in crimes against children.
2. The adult gang’s strength increases the threat¶
A teenager capable of defeating and commanding such men is not an ordinary school delinquent.
3. Choi Ga-yoon’s belief enters the present case¶
Her refusal to abandon a violent student explains why Na’s reaction to G.Y becomes more personal than a normal investigation.
4. The chapter ends with identity, not victory¶
Na has already controlled the adult fighter. The urgent question is the name of the youth who created the organization.
