When Han Gyul questions about Jae Gu being on the list and begins to tease him, Mi Nam questions how he does Jae Gu. Moon Young then greets him and informs him that Jae Gu and himself are in the same set of preliminaries. He states to her that the men in the league are not worth while and the reason he is competing is to have a chance at beating her once they fight each other.
Dal Dal approaches him and demands to know why everyone in his school has a arrogant personality and consider themselves the best, which he remarks asking the same thing about Wild's High students. He then insults her by questioning her strength and ability to fight, she then kicks off his beanie and says that she does not think he would make it past the preliminaries and that him and his friends will be defeated by Jae Gu in the Wild's league.
He is then seen waiting outside Jae Gu's house with Han Gyul; Jae Gu believing that he is there to fight him puts up his fists. Diffusing the situation he tells Jae Gu that if he liked or disliked him that boxers do not fight outside the ring and the true reason he is there is to end the feud between Han Gyul and Jae Gu by making Han Gyul apologize to Jae Gu. He then tells Jae Gu that he should improve his boxing ability but the basic stance and eye contact were strong for a beginner and with time he could improve greatly.
When Jae Gu enters Goo Ra High with his feet bleeding he asks why he is at the school, being ignored he watches as Jae Gu attacks Han Gyul with a chair, seeing that Jae Gu will do serious damage he punches him in the shoulder preventing Jae Gu from attacking Han Gyul. He asks again why Jae Gu is at the school and why he is wanting to attack Han Gyul, which provokes him to attack again and overhears Jae Gu's reason for attacking Han Gyul when he attempts to subdue him.
Hye Shin Kim enters the classroom asking about the noise, as Jae Gu and himself try to explain the situation, Mi Nam watches in shock as she slaps the upset Jae Gu telling him to behave himself. Mi Nam and his classmates hear a helicopter approach the school that contains Moon Young and Dal Dal. He watches as they confront the students of Goo Ra and see Lee Na confront his couch. He is then seen in the vice principals office and asks that Han Gyul be substituted instead of a fellow student in the Wild's League in hopes of resolving the issue between him and Jae Gu as they are in the same categories.
He is then seen telling Han Gyul to train, Han Gyul dismisses his claims that Jae Gu might be able to defeat him if he is training and naturally talented Remembering the earlier conversation in the vice principals office he confronts Han Gyul over the incident earlier and recalls that Jae Gu never said what Han Gyul had done to hurt his siblings, yet Han Gyul knew they had food poisoning. Han Gyul defends himself by saying that Mi Nam should take his word as they are friends which Mi Nam states that he does because of that reason alone.
