In the meantime, So Hyun also arrived at school for "an appointment with the principal" which was actually set up by the agents from the North. Right from the moment she entered the school, she could sense something wrong was going on. In addition, the whole school was encased in a strange and ominous silence while the security man some magically how disappeared.

"Hello Mrs. Kang, it's nice to see you," Captain Cheetah smiled and greeted her as she stepped into the principal's office.

"Oh hi," she looked at the man with her eyes wide open, taken aback by the principal's absence, "It's the principal here? I have an appointment with him to discuss my son's academic matters."

"About that, the principal's feeling unwell today so I'm here to talk to you regarding that. Sorry for not informing you earlier," the man awkwardly smiled and pointed his hands at a chair, "Please have a seat. By the way, I'm his assistant, Kim Yong Min."

"Oh OK, Mr. Kim," So Hyun nodded and sat down.

As So Hyun nestled on the cushy chair, she began to smell some blood inside the room. Discreetly moving her eyes around, she could see a corpse in the security attire, hidden in a locker. "Did he kill the security guard? He didn't even attempt to hide the body well," she thought to herself and peered at Cheetah, who seemed to be preparing some drinks.

"Is there anything wrong?" the man asked as their gazes met one another.

"Ah... it's nothing," she shook her head profusely, "I'm just curious about what you're serving me."

"It's just some tea. Here's yours," he put a cup of tea onto the table and sat down.

"Thanks," she said and picked the cup up. Placing it near her nose, she realised it smelled like bitter almonds, similar to the poisonous substance cyanide. She held the cup in that position for a little to pretend as if she was drinking it. But she was not as she focused on another thing, the mischievous smile on the man's face when he looked at her drinking the tea.

They then went on to talk for a little while, during which So Hyun could hear a weird noise from upstairs. It sounded like somebody was hit by a bat, or perhaps something along that line. When she mentioned that, the man seemed to be flustered and claimed that it was just students teasing each other. But her intuition kept telling her that it was more than that and there was something wrong going on. It proved to be right after all.

"It's nice of you to give such compliments about Jae Hyun," she smiled and nodded her head, "I heard that he was good at science, but I didn't expect that the principal thinks so highly of him."

"Of course, your son has the potential. Why don't you sign him up for the Science Olympiad this year?"

Suddenly, Cheetah's phone screen was illuminated by a text message. As he read it, his facial expression changed. The text was from Grizzly, saying that Sung Ho was seen at the car park, heading to the back entrance. "The dose was enough to paralyse an elephant. Is he that strong?" the man pondered and then ordered Grizzly to catch Sung Ho. He must have taken Yoon Ah down, even after she injected him with the paralyser dose.

"Is everything OK?" So Hyun peered at the man sitting opposite her.

"Ah... never mind... shall we continue?" he spluttered.

"Sure... speaking of the Olympiad..." So Hyun came up with a way to find out if he was the imposter, "I guess the principal must have talked to you about Jae Hyun winning the silver award for the International Biomedical Quiz last year, isn't it?"

The man instinctively said yes and began making up a whole story about Jae Hyun's achievement. To make it sound real, he even talked about how teachers' reacted to it and how surprised Jae Hyun's biology mentor was when the results were out. And he nailed it. Everything was completely flawless. The story was totally believable. But there was one thing he did not account for: Jae Hyun, in fact, never won anything. He did attend the competition, yet did not get any prize. From that on, So Hyun finally knew what was happening.

"That's so nice to hear," she smiled.

"We're really proud to have such a student, Mrs. Kang," the man grinned and poured her some more tea.

"Sorry to interrupt but... may I know where the toilet is, please?"

"Sure, it's that side, at the end of the corridor," the man said and moved his arms.

"Oh OK, thanks," she stood up and left the room.

"Wait, do you need me to... walk you there? I'm afraid that you may get lost," the man suddenly inquired.

"Oh... no, thanks," she refused and then emerged from the office.

However, she was not heading to the toilet. What she was finding was the school's electricity room, where she could cut off all the electricity in the school. It was in the evening and the sky was cloaked in darkness. No electricity would mean absolutely no light at all. It would make her enemies struggle to navigate their ways. In stark contrast, with her enhanced five senses, such a fighting condition would be the most ideal for her.

So Hyun's super hearing allowed her to locate the noise made by the machines in the electricity room. Hence, it did not take her too much time to find it out and turn off the electricity in the whole school. Cheetah was too complacent and careless, so it was only until when So Hyun turned down all the lights that he announced to the whole team she might have run off and told them to keep an eye on her.

Meanwhile, during the encounter between So Hyun and Cheetah, Sung Ho made it out of the building through a classroom's window and he headed straight to the car park, crippled and exhausted. It was also when he crossed paths with Grizzly. He obviously did not want to fight anymore after the draining turmoil with Yoon Ah. However, it seemed that he had to do so.

The man standing in front of Sung Ho was literally a real-life Hulk. He had a huge body, muscular limbs and a very fierce face. He was also very tall. Sung Ho could not tell his exact height, but it should not be under two metres.

"So you really escaped," Grizzly smirked at Sung Ho, "Nice try! But not this time."

"Aishh shibal..." Sung Ho mumbled as he sprinted toward the entrance.

Easily catching up with Sung Ho, Grizzly grabbed his ankles and flung him off. His body hit a car nearby so hard that its windshield was immediately shattered while its hood was painfully depressed.

"I hope it didn't break your spine," Grizzly said and landed a brutal punch at his stomach, making him fall onto the ground, moaning in agony.

"W... who... are... you?" he painfully heaved out the words.

"If you complied with your friend Yoon Ah, maybe our first meeting would be a bit less violent than this," the man scoffed and lifted up his feet, preparing to deliver a powerful kick to the poor high school kid's face.

Out of the blue, Sung Ho's father came to the rescue, launching his body at the man and sending him sprawling on the ground.

"Who the hell are you?" Grizzly mumbled and managed to punch the father's face.

But Sung Ho's father seemed unfazed and continued fighting. He was kicked, punched and even flung at the cars a few times. But he did not fall back as he wanted to protect his precious son.

It was not long before Sung Ho's father could have a hold of Grizzly neck and threw him at one of the class windows. The glass crumbled and the man fell into the classroom, accidentally hitting his head at a table. When he could not even pull himself together yet, Sung Ho's father jumped into the classroom and grabbed his body once more. This time, he threw his opponents into the air and then hit him back down onto the ground again. Not only once, he did that many times, just like an NBA player bouncing his basketball. After a while, the agent, whose body was covered in blood, was already lying motionless on the floor. Sung Ho's father then stopped and came back outside to see his son.

"Sung Ho, are you alright?" he used sign language to ask his son.

"I'm good. Don't worry," Sung Ho gestured with his hands.

"I'm sorry. I should have come earlier."

Looking at his father being seriously injured after the fight, Sung Ho could not help but bursted into tears.

"Don't say that, dad," he embraced his father, "I got you into trouble. You got beaten up so bad because of me."

Sung Ho and his father were close, but it was not until that moment that he realised how much his father meant to him and how much he loved his son. Life had never been easy since the day his mother passed away and his father was always there for him, no matter what. He was always beside Sung Ho, protecting him, regardless if it was just a minor argument between school students or a dangerous fight which might take away his life. Sung Ho never noticed how hard his deaf father tried to give him all the best he had. Sometimes, he just wished his mother were there with him, ignoring the fact that his father had been sacrificing so much to fulfil his duty as both a mother and a father.

"No matter what happens to you, I'm always here so don't worry, OK?"

"Mm-hmm," Sung Ho nodded his head, "By the way, how did you know I was in danger."

"Ji Woo told me," his father smiled, "She insisted on coming with me, so I told her to hide inside the canteen area.

******

In the meantime, Ji Woo came into the canteen to hide. It was very dark as all the lights were out so she could hardly see anything. But there was a person who could spot her out.

"Hey, who are you?" Yoon Ho queried as she stepped in.
