Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Chapter 133

After an eventful morning, it was lunch time.

At the Year 1 trail towards Cheoniksan without people.

In order to organize my thoughts by myself, I decided to check the accumulated device messages. The first thing I laid my eyes on was an application for a chess game.

‘Is it because of this influx of game applications that Cheon Dong-ha, the champion last year, didn’t get to play this year?’

Ma Jin-seung sent a loud message just by looking at the exclamation marks attached to it.

Meanwhile, there was my disciple Yeom Jun-yeol and his friend Kwak Kyung-gu, who politely asked for a match. There was also Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol, from Year 2 Class 0, who had applied for the game on behalf of their theater club ace Yeon Ga-ram.

Park Seung-hyun then contacted me to play chess with a brief greeting.

‘I think this week will be difficult.’

Unfortunately, I decided to give priority to the investigation of Seong Guk-eon’s ghost story. After answering all the game applications, I then checked the following message.

[Kim Shin Rok] Hello, Jo Eushin.

This descendant had suddenly contacted me about something.

[Kim Shin Rok] Didn’t the temporary homeroom teacher have an accident?

Yong Je-gun had that the two were friends. Even if the friend was temporary, he must have been concerned because he was the head of the baron. I couldn’t ask Yong Je-gun or Hwang Ji-ho directly, so he contacted me.

‘It takes a little while for the Jinjoo of the entertainment world to behave, but as far as I can see, Yong Je-gun has no problem as a teacher.’

[Ham Geun Hyeong] I heard about Min Green.

[Ham Geun Hyeong] The business trip is going to be long, so please take care of me.

Yesterday, I had gotten a call from Song Dae-seok, who was wandering in search of Min Green, and today I thought he contacted me again after hearing about an attack on an art club.

‘As usual, I would leave it to Kim Yuri, the class leader, and the same gender as Min Green.’

And so, he must have contacted me because he was afraid that it would be burdensome if I were to entrust him with another job. He seemed to be quite busy with his business trip to Hongcheon, but at the same time, he seemed to be constantly worried about his students.

[Me:] Yes. You don’t have to worry about your classmates.

[Me] Do your best on a business trip.

I looked at the message window for a while, but I found that it was not processed. Ham Geun Hyeong didn’t seem to be able to rest, even though it was already lunchtime.

The following was a message from a group message room with Jang Namwook and Yoo. Sang-hoon.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Need it?

[Yoo Sang-hoon] (Photo)

With this, I checked to see if Yoo Sang-hoon had sent a picture for some reason, and when I checked it, I found that there were so many gift sets that he was taller than a person.

These were gift sets that included health foods from famous brands, tea types, and daily necessities. I didn’t know where I had gotten such a thing.

[Jang Namwook] It’s not even a holiday, but there are so many gift sets!

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Mr. Yoo Sang-hee.

[Jang Namwook] What do you mean by that? Oh, it means that these are gifts from Sanghee noona. Sanghee noona has healing powers, so I feel that many people would be grateful.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] B

[Jang Nam-wook] I must have said something wrong. What? …Oh! Have you ever sent a gift to say thank you to just one person, not several?

[Yoo Sang-hoon] ?

Did that mean that only one person sent a present?

‘Isn’t he the one who sent the present…?’

When I enlarged the photo that had been posted by Yoo Sang-hoon, I saw the Hwangmyung group mark engraved on the gift set. It soon became clear when I saw that all the gift sets were released by brands affiliated with the Hwangmyung Group.

‘Ah, so it’s true that Hwang Jiho sent it!’

He once said that Hwang Jiho would pay for the treatment of Jeokho. Although Yoo Sanghee refused, there was no way Hwang Jiho would give anything in return.

[Jang Nam-wook] How can someone send so many gifts… … Wouldn’t it be better to just return it if there are too many?

[Yoo Sang-hoon] I’ve already tried it. Have you?

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Then, the classmate from Jo Eushin’s class sent that to the student council room.

Seeing that Yoo Sang-hoon had already started talking a lot, it must have been a difficult situation.

‘If it’s our class, there is only Hwang Jiho. Did you send the gift in the name of Hwang Jiho?’

It must have been natural since he appeared in front of Yoo Sanghee as Hwang Jiho.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Do Won-woo… The madman found him, so he sent me a present.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] That’s after contacting his crazy parents and giving them back.

Looking at Yoo Sang-hoon’s message, he seemed to know what was going on.

When Hwang Jiho first sent a gift to Yoo Sang-hee’s house and received a return, he threw a gift bomb into the student council room. It was Do Won-woo who discovered those gifts.

Yoo Sang-hee didn’t like being baptized as a gift by some first-year male junior, so she ended up giving her money and gifts.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] That’s a whole lot of dogs.

Hwang Jiho didn’t understand what he was saying, so he seemed to have given up on returning the gift.

For Yoo Sang-hoon, who struggled to the point where he spoke too much, Jang Nam-wook and I decided to receive a set of luxury toiletries one by one.

‘Since you saved the enemy, I don’t think it will end with just throwing a gift set.’

It was questionable as to whether Yoo Sanghee, who did not have a water bath, would accept it as my playable character.

Next was a message room with three siblings, who were descendants of Eunho.

‘Why are there so many messages piled up?’

There were several times more messages than usual.

[Eun Yiho] My brother-in-law! Shinsu prepared it specially for his brother!

[Eun Seo-ho] I wanted you to come to see me in person, but Hwangho said that Eushin hyung was busy… … . ??

What did Olma prepare for me?

I didn’t know what it was yet, but at the same time, I was filled with joy and gratitude for Olma.

I pulled the scroll to check the new message.

… The photos posted by the youngest member Eun Jae-ho were all about Olma. I couldn’t help but be surprised to see pictures of her in so many clothes.

‘Why don’t you have clothes that don’t suit you? They all go well together!’

Animal pajamas with tiger motifs, polka dots shirts, hooded cloaks, jean jumpsuits, and coveralls…

Olma was perfect for any outfit. Any color would look good on her, for she was a pure white cotton ball, so if they were selling the same design in a different color, I bought all of them.

There were no colors and designs that did not match as expected.

‘The clothes fit well, but even the poses are perfect too!’

Our smart Olma filmed by changing poses and expressions for each outfit. The smiling expression, with her eyes shining brightly and the side face looking beyond the window were all cute and wonderful.

When I stopped thinking, I then scrolled down and hit the save button over and over again. I then noticed a major problem.

‘You didn’t buy the props!’

Hats, scarves, accessories, socks, bags, etc.

I had forgotten the items that would bring out her charm!

I was a fool who only presented her with clothes when I had initially thought that I was an Olma genius who radiated my charms only with clothes.

“Are you sure? … Why do you look less intelligent than usual? It’s strange.”

Yong Je-gun appeared in front of me as I watched Olma’s fashion show.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, I see that you’re back to normal.”

I ignored Yong Je-gun, who was wearing a puzzled face and turned off the hologram window. I didn’t know how they found me, but it must have been easy for Yong Je-gun, who was a capable playable character.

“We’ve finished talking about Chairman Hwangho’s young self and his ‘eyes’.”

That was what we had talked about this morning After the ordinance, the three of us, Hwang Jiho and Yong Je-gun, met and talked for a while. Our discussion centered the ‘eye’ of something watching Eungwnag High, which the chief of the Western tribe had warned us about.

The inside of the Eungwang High and the inside of the Hwangmyeong Building were fine, but the opinion of the scoundrel was that something else seemed to be watching the surrounding areas.

Hwang Jiho, who changed his complexion by mentioning that Yong Je-gun, who was sensitive to space, also felt his gaze, then summoned Yong Je-gun immediately to the chairman’s office to hear his own words.

I asked him to tell me later and went to class.

“Chairman Hwangho is not as sensitive to space or gaze as me. It’s not strange even if you don’t notice it, but it was disassembled. It was compared to how I had not been motivated.”

Those ‘eyes’ seemed to be difficult to detect, as only a gimmick or a dragon could feel it. The dragon’s words continued.

“You may already know this, but on the Korean Peninsula, the Twelve Jigsaw Alliance exists, and the traitors inside are targeting the nobles. How many times have you already been attacked? It is a sensitive issue for a new cast to be monitored in such a situation. However, it is strange to hear that Chairman Hwangho called me and listened to the story. The dragon may be the traitor.”

At this, the corners of Yong Je-gun’s lips began to rise little by little.

“Chairman Hwangho said that you assured him that the dragon was not a traitor.”

Did Hwang Jiho even say that? Although he put a restriction on the ‘teacher contract’, he still put Yong Je-gun, a true kin, in Eungwang High.

It seemed that he trusted Yong-Je-Gun more than he had initially thought. Was it because Kim Shin Rok and Yong Je-gun were friends?

“I was convinced when I heard that. It was you who changed the negligent Chairman Hwang-ho and moved the nobles.”

Yong Je-gun made a unique ecstatic expression. This time, it was also because Hwang Jiho threw a lot of hints. Still, I figured it out too soon.

“He gave Jun-yeoul the device code. As ‘Phantom of the Red Wall.”

How the hell was this…?

“…I don’t know yet I gave it to you.”

“Looks like you’re going to tell me.”

He used to get distracted by suddenly hearing the word, but he also fell in love with Yong Je-gun’s conversational skills.

“How did you know?”

“I thought it might be because Jun-yeoul suddenly bought a new device. Although, he said he bought it for a diversion.”

It seemed that Yeom Jun-yeoul bought a device to communicate with his teacher. My disciple wanted to keep in touch with me like that, so the next time we met, I would definitely have to give her the device’s contact number.

* * * *

After school, newspapers are bad. Hwang Jiho, who disappeared from the class saying he was going to talk to Yong Je-gun in the teenage version, where he was rolling the version of Hwang Myeongho’s alter ego.

He was sitting in the newspaper room. “The sub-activities are out.”

“Because I am working on campus as the president of Hwang Myeongho. To cool my head, I am playing.”

Now, Chairman Hwang Myeongho seemed to have returned to the campus.

‘As soon as a countermeasure for the unidentified ‘eye’ comes to mind, let’s talk with Hwang Jiho or Yong Je-gun.’

At that time, the door to the insolvent room for new students opened and Moon Sae-ron soon appeared.

“Yep! Class 0 has no windy days. I heard a lot about the scramble for the artist Min Green today!”

Saying that, Moon Sae-ron had an itchy expression on her lips. “Isn’t that case finished with the intervention of interim homeroom teacher Yong Je-gun? There must be something more.”

“Yes! Because this case is an extension of the semantic Hwanmong Gate.”

Was the Hwanmong Gate coming out here? Hwang Jiho and I shut our mouths, and Moon Sae-ron started explaining with a triumphant face.

“The case had previously started with Hong Kyung-bok’s declaration of hiding.”

Moon Sae-ron then raised the hologram as if he had just completed the investigation.

In the hologram, there was a complicated relationship between Hong Kyung-bok, his pupil, and those that were involved in the Hwanmong Gate.

‘I think I’ve seen some names on the Hwanmong list.’

Hong Kyung-bok, who had taken up a place in the art world, left all his students and went into hiding. The students were actually committing various corruptions, so it was like the art world had been robbed.

In addition to this, it said that the vacant seats were occupied by the Hwanmong Gate crew.

“Did you know that art is often used for embezzlement, tax evasion, making slush funds, and laundering black money?”

“Yes. The value of art is subjective and fluid, so it is often used as a means of avoiding gift or inheritance tax.”

“Huh! When it comes to art, there are many loopholes in the tax policy. Maybe that’s why, while holding hands with Hwanmong Gate and people from the art world, he played a lot of jokes while manipulating the value of art.”

“I can see why this has to do with the Min Green case.” Hwang Jiho said calmly, as if he had come to a conclusion similar to mine.

“Most of the art teachers in Eungwang High were cut off due to the Hwanmong Gate. We are struggling to recruit staff. There are very few players who have a certain level of skill, who have knowledge in art, and even have a teacher’s license without being involved in the Hwanmong Gate.”

“That’s right! Because of that, all the advisors of the art circles have disappeared. It was left by one of the contract teachers… and he is now dying of overwork. Hahaha.”

Was the cause of the conflict between the art circles that tormented Yoo Sang-hee and other student council officers the only remaining battle for the torture?

“When it was revealed that the torture was involved in the Hwanmong Gate, the members of the art circle who lost their teachers were nervous and tried to ask the artist Min Green to teach them. Well, I understand the situation. It’s absolutely not that the kids from the art world who suddenly jumped on me did well!”

After hearing all of Moon Sae-ron’s explanation, Hwang Jiho’s expression eventually hardened. Hearing the results of his negligence in real time wouldn’t be a good feeling.

“Come on, look at this.”

“What?”

In order to change Hwang Jiho’s mood, I showed him pictures of Olma’s fashion show at lunchtime, which he had received from three siblings of Eunho’s descendants.

Hwang Jiho, who saw the photo, made an absurd expression.

“…I know you mean well, but you don’t have to show it because you saw it all in real time yesterday.”

“Seeing in real life is far different from seeing in photos.”

“If you really relate to divine beasts, your intelligence…”

Hwang Jiho had on an expression that said that he had a lot to say, but wouldn’t. Still, his expression was much better than before. After all, the effects of Olma’s photos were amazing.

Soon after, the other children showed up and finished their side activities together.

“Ah, I’m going to be late for the study meeting today.”

“Why?”

“I want to practice my skills.”

“Skills?”

“I got the Eye Glow skill thanks to the elixir you gave me. I want to practice.”

Hwang Jiho, who was walking next to me, stopped and looked into my eyes.

“…Did you get the Eye Glow skill?” Hwang Jiho had on an astonished expression.
