The official synopsis of Weak Hero Class 2 reads:

"Once the bullies target you, it’s game over. The school is run by tyrants whose favorite hobby is tormenting the weakest kids in class. But then Shi Eun arrived. This mysterious new student threatens to dismantle the established order. He may be small in stature, but his calculative and brutal fighting leaves unsuspecting opponents lying on the floor begging for mercy. Now the school’s toughest bullies have to scramble to take down this new and unusual hero."

At the end of Season 1, Ji-hoon takes revenge for his friend Ahn Su-ho, who ends up in a coma after being attacked by an MMA fighter. He later transfers to Eunjang High as no other school takes him due to Oh Beom-seok’s father’s connections, where he will encounter new bullies and face more challenges ahead.

The end of Season 1 also showed Si-eun's former friend Beom-seok being sent abroad by his father to continue his studies while Su-ho lies in a coma. It has not yet been revealed if we will get to see more of Su-ho or Beom-seok in the new season.

However, we can be sure that Si-eun’s life won’t be easy in his new school, and his fight against the bullies might further intensify.
