### Summary
Following the protagonist Sieun Yeon's shocking defeat, the narrative concludes its central conflict with an even greater subversion of expectations: the abrupt death of the main antagonist, Baekjin Na. After his victory over Sieun and a subsequent ambush by a third party left him vulnerable, Baekjin is unceremoniously killed by a truck. This event has triggered an overwhelmingly emotional response from readers, who express disbelief, frustration, and unexpected sympathy for the villain. Many criticize the development as "lazy writing" and an anticlimactic end for a character established as an insurmountable foe. The commentary is dominated by laments over lost potential, with a recurring sentiment that Baekjin and Sieun could have become friends or academic rivals under different circumstances. Readers frequently invoke the "Truck-kun" trope, humorously suggesting Baekjin was too overpowered for the story and had to be "isekai'd" to another world. Ultimately, the arc ends not with a resolution between the primary rivals, but with a random, tragic accident that has left the audience grieving for the antagonist.
