Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Chapter 709: Hidden piece

Im Yeonhwa and Hwangbo Yoon were on a business trip abroad on Christmas Eve.

An international player educator forum was held, and a meeting was held on the spot in preparation for the Korea-China-Japan youth exchange exhibition.

The forum went smoothly, but as for the meeting…

Principal Hwangbo Yoon, who saw the list of those who will attend, said;

— I didn’t come here to fight. How annoying.

The player teachers who attended representing China and Japan were as belligerent as Hwangbo Yoon remembered.

As soon as the meeting began, just as Hwangbo Yoon expected, they began to quarrel about all sorts of things.

First on the list was language.

— Why should we use Korean?

— The exchange exhibition should be fair.

Korea is where the otherworld phenomenon first appeared and they were the fastest to foster players.

Player terms were set in Korean before English, and there were many Korean team masters among the world’s leading player teams.

Therefore, international player meetings were usually conducted in Korean.

There was no pressure from Eungwang High, but the participants naturally spoke Korean at the educator forum.

As if they didn’t like this situation, the representatives from China and Japan attacked Hwangbo Yoon and Im Yeonhwa as soon as they spoke in Korean.

— Feel free to speak your language. Professor Im Yeonhwa and I can speak multiple languages, so please speak in whatever language you are comfortable with. I will speak in Korean. If you don’t know the language, please refer to translation applications.

Those who were expecting Hwangbo Yoon to break under pressure hid their dissatisfaction.

Im Yeonhwa provided a link to download the translation application, but no one dared to download it.

Instead, they asked Hwangbo Yoon again.

— Where are the Legendary Archer and the Namok Poet? Aren’t they coming?

— I’ve been looking forward to seeing them both, but I’m confused because of the sudden change of appointment.

— Is this how things work at Eungwang High? What a shame at the hasty move of the host bridge.

The senior-level teachers — Ham Geunhyung, Jegal, and Im Yeonhwa — were supposed to attend.

Hwangbo Yoon suddenly attended on behalf of Ham Geunhyung and Jegal, while Im Yeonhwa didn’t hear any proper explanation.

‘The principal said it’s the Chairman’s order. There were other things.’

Im Yeonhwa, who didn’t really care who would come with her, didn’t give it much thought.

The other delegates seemed to think differently though.

In fact, the appearance of a principal at the meeting of department-level teachers was very unconventional, but the other representatives were just nitpicking.

It’s clear that they underestimate Hwangbo Yoon since she doesn’t do much outside activities.

Considering that they were dealing with a school principal, the representatives wrapped up their words so as not to cross the line, but the intent behind their words was obvious.

‘Do they want a preemptive?’

Im Yeonhwa had a rough grasp of what was happening between the three schools.

The venue for the exchange exhibition will be chosen by lots, and there was a lot of talk about the selection of Eungwang High.

Being unlucky can’t be helped, but the war of nerves intensified to the point where the progress of the exchange exhibition was disrupted.

The conflict deepened as Choi Pyeondeuk was previously in charge of this task and previously taunted the other schools.

‘I want to say something, but the principal will lose face if I speak now. I have to hold it in.’

The brute Im Yeonhwa didn’t understand this war of nerves.

Her older sister saw through her psychology, and her sister made sure to instill common sense into her before she sent her out to society.

Thanks to that, she was able to adapt well.

That’s why she was able to keep her mouth shut as she watched Hwangbo Yoon.

— The principals of both schools agreed that I, the principal of Eungwang High, would attend on behalf of the two senior teachers. Should I explain the authority of the principal of your schools and how the process was carried out?

Hwangbo Yoon’s tone remained calm, but her words were not light.

To put her words simply, why would senior-level teachers dispute what principals agreed on?

Or to make it more crass, “Does your school not have a hierarchy? How messy.”

The senior teachers, who belittled Hwangbo Yoon, kept their mouths shut.

‘I was a little worried because she doesn’t usually leave school. Well, looks like her years of experience didn’t go anywhere.’

Im Yeonhwa was satisfied with Hwangbo Yoon’s remarks.

The principal, who appears to be in her 30’s or 40’s, was actually 72 years old.

She was the same age as Song Manseok and Hong Kyungbok.

Perhaps they looked down at Hwangbo Yoon because she looked young.

— Shouldn’t those who represent the school complete communication on campus in advance? If each school needs time to reorganize, I will wait.

Hwangbo Yoon seemed to plan to destroy the meeting.

It’s not difficult for her to defend herself against attacks from the senior teachers, but if they continue this exhausting battle, they will only waste time.

‘If we’re going to proceed with the meeting like this, it’s better not to continue. Even if we can’t talk about things today, we can coordinate through messages.’

Im Yeonhwa decided to watch Hwangbo Yoon break up the meeting.

As she watched through her thick eyeglasses made of bulletproof glass, she made eye contact with the other teachers.

There were not a few who were looking at her as if expecting her to stop Hwangbo Yoon.

However, they seemed to notice that Im Yeonhwa didn’t take an interest in the battle of wits of humans.

When the other teachers asked for help, those who hadn’t said a word came forward.

— I heard about it from Principal Hwangbo Yoon. I missed the opportunity to join the conversation. There were teachers who had sudden work to do. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.

— We just wanted to meet the two famous players as well. I apologize too.

A male Chinese teacher and a female Japanese teacher came forward.

The two covered up the situation like a clean-up trick.

They were very good at speaking, incomparable to the teachers who spoke so far.

If the two had joined the attack on Hwangbo Yoon, the battle would’ve lasted longer.

Im Yeonhwa recognized that the two were heavyweights and observed them further.

‘That male teacher has developed leg muscles. The weak kids in my class will never win in a race. That female teacher has great energy wave control. An energy wave this stable is…’

While Im Yeonhwa admired the talents, the meeting continued.

The part that each school was most interested in was the schedule.

In the case of Eungwang High, the time didn’t matter as long as they could prepare in advance without overlapping with previously scheduled events.

However, Japan wants to pull the schedule and China wants to postpone it.

‘Japan wants to introduce new players as soon as possible. I heard that the case with the player training center in China was wrapped up… but I guess they still want to take more time to prepare.’

In the end, the first day of the talks ended after focusing on how Japan and China would negotiate the schedule.

The next day…

— Something must’ve happened at Eungwang High. We need to get home.

Upon receiving news about Eungwang High, Hwangbo Yoon decided to return immediately.

They still had a schedule left, but it couldn’t be helped.

In Korea, there’s a widespread culture of thinking of business trips as overseas vacation travel.

With the news of the school being in crisis, it will become food for the hyena-like media if the news spreads that the principal was abroad.

— I think those two are going to fight anyway. Let’s leave them alone.

— Yes! Let’s hurry and go!

Im Yeonhwa agreed immediately.

She was well aware that her weak, young, and cute students of Class 3-0 were going to Mt. Cheonik.

Woo Kihwan hid it from her, but the strong homeroom teacher just pretended not to know.

She was looking forward to what kind of cute pranks they would prepare.

And Im Yeonhwa, upon returning home, heard about the performance of her class.

“You fought against royal lineage? My goodness. I’m really proud!”

Im Yeonhwa didn’t doubt Woo Kihwan’s words at all.

Young and weak students tend to exaggerate their performance, but they never lie.

Looking at the traces of battle, the royal lineage was weak and few based on Im Yeonhwa’s standards, but their victory couldn’t be denied.

She was proud of her students for fighting and not running away.

Above all, she was happy that they survived without any major injuries.

So, Im Yeonhwa proposed something.

“You guys worked hard this time so I’ll give you a Christmas reward!”

“…We don’t want stick-type sausages anymore.”

Woo Kihwan held his mouth at the mention of a reward.

They usually received Im Yeonhwa’s favorite type of sausage, and they were sick of it.

They never liked sausages, but Im Yeonhwa didn’t know this.

“Really? Then what do you guys want?”

Im Yeonhwa suddenly remembered a big and wonderful gift from her class.

It was the booklet containing the memories of their confrontations so far.

‘It must’ve been hard to come up with such a nice gift.’

With that, an idea came to Im Yeonhwa’s mind.

She thought about the lines in the script read by Jegal in the match before the summer vacation.

— I will confirm the stakes of both sides. If Class 3-0 wins, Professor Im Yeonhwa will work faithfully to help the class find the energy of the universe.

Of course, the demand was not met because they lost.

However, it would be good to help her students who suffered this Christmas.

So Im Yeonhwa suggested.

“I will find the energy of the universe for you!”
