Silence fell inside the room.
Fifteen students...
Sprawled across the floor.
As for Leon...
He was still laughing.
> "Hahahahaha!"
>
Then, he wiped his tears away.
And looked at Kim.
> "You know..."
>
> "I feel pity for your enemies."
>
As for Kim...
He looked at the mess around him.
Then, he sighed.
> "I feel pity for the furniture."
>
Silence fell.
Then, Leon burst out laughing all over again.
Even Myra, Kyle, and Doran...
Began to laugh.
But suddenly...
Leon's laughter stopped.
Because Kim...
Began gathering the wallets of the unconscious students.
Leon looked at him in astonishment.
> "What are you doing?"
>
Kim looked at him calmly.
> "Investing."
>
Ten minutes later...
The fifteen students woke up.
Only to find themselves tied up.
And in front of them...
Kim was sitting down.
With Leon right beside him...
Who was watching with a curious grin.
Meanwhile, Myra and the other two...
Stood there completely bewildered.
Then, Kim smiled.
> "Good evening."
>
Everyone turned pale.
Especially the blonde young man.
> "You bastard!"
>
> "Let us go!"
>
Kim smiled.
> "Of course."
>
> "But first..."
>
He pulled out several sheets of paper.
Then, he placed them in front of them.
Leon's eyes widened.
As for the students...
They looked utterly dumbfounded.
> "What is this?!"
>
Kim replied calmly:
> "Debt contracts."
>
Silence fell.
> "What?!"
>
He smiled.
> "Beating you was free."
>
> "But the treatment..."
>
> "The disturbance..."
>
> "And the broken furniture..."
>
> "Are not free."
>
Then, he pointed to the papers.
> "Either you pay..."
>
> "Or..."
>
He gave a gentle smile.
> "I will send tonight's recording to the administration."
>
Everyone turned paper-white.
Because they were the ones who had attacked first.
And they were the ones who would pay the price.
As for Leon...
He was staring at Kim.
Then, he began to clap slowly.
> "A demon."
>
> "You are a demon."
>
Meanwhile, Kim...
Sipped his tea quietly.
> "Harsh word."
>
Then, he looked at the students.
> "Now."
>
> "Sign."
>
Half an hour later...
The fifteen filed out.
Their faces were pale.
And their spirits were utterly crushed.
As for Kim...
He looked at the window that appeared before him.
[320 points obtained.]
[A new title has been unlocked.]
["The Creditor"]
He smiled faintly.
As for Leon...
He began to feel a chill.
Because he realized something terrifying.
Since the very beginning of the incident...
Kim hadn't gotten angry.
He hadn't sought revenge.
And he hadn't brawled.
Rather...
He was waiting.
Just waiting.
As if everything...
Had been part of the plan the moment they knocked on the door.
Then, Leon asked suddenly:
> "Kim."
>
> "Did you know they were coming?"
>
Kim looked at him.
Then, he smiled.
> "No."
>
> "But if I were in their place..."
>
> "I would have done the exact same thing."
>
Then, he continued calmly.
> "People don't surprise me."
>
> "Because they repeat themselves."
>
At that exact moment...
Inside Professor Reinhardt's office.
He was watching everything.
Even the contracts.
Even the points.
Even that final smile.
Then...
For the first time in years.
He laughed.
He laughed out loud.
> "Hahahahaha!"
>
> "What a monster!"
>
But suddenly...
He stopped.
Because his office door opened.
And Elder Eldar walked in.
He looked at the recording.
Then, at Kim's name.
And silence fell.
Before Eldar said calmly:
> "Watch him."
>
Reinhardt's eyes narrowed.
> "Because you suspect him?"
>
But Eldar...
Smiled.
A mysterious smile.
> "No."
>
> "Because I fear for the others."
>
