Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Morning.

All kinds of worries flooded into me as I busied myself with preparing for the Nok’s elixir. I felt depressed at the fact that I had to feel the taste of hell again.

“I need to get used to this taste today!” I thought. However, at the same time, I knew that this was not an achievable feat.

The more I drank, the more I felt nauseous due to the strong, unpleasant taste that flooded my gustatory senses.

“Is there a way to temporarily paralyze the tongue?” I asked myself, my thoughts immediately turning into the form of an anesthesia.

*Ding!*

A notification sounded, signaling that I had received a message. Who was texting me so early in the morning?

With this, I decided to check the preview and just reply later.

Eun Yi-ho: Ui-shini oppa, Shin-soo has no energy left in any form whatsoever…

I Immediately open a message window.

Eun Seo-ho: He skips meals, and even when Baek-ho asks him to go for a walk, he doesn’t respond.

I sigh. Hopefully, Olmu wasn’t hurt anywhere.

Hwang Ji-ho, that damn bastard, had an elixir for me, so I wished that he would bring Olmu too.

More than anything, however, I secretly hoped that the elixir would taste better this time around.

“Wait, I think I said mine was for humans. Then maybe there is Shin Su-yong as well. I have to go to school today and ask Hwang Ji-ho to introduce the Nok people. If Hwang Ji-ho doesn’t do it, I’ll tell Jeok-ho or Baek-ho…..’

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing up once more/

Eun Yi-ho: Hwang-ho said, ‘It’s because of the God of Jo’.

Eun Seo-ho: Come play, hyung! Eun-ho’s descendants didn’t know that Olmu was angry with me, so that’s why they responded like that.

The last time I saw it, I remembered Olmu had completely turned away from me.

That day, I did not even see Olmu’s aegyo, and I did not even caress him. It was altogether depressing to think about.

“It would be better not to meet until you have consumed all this tasteless elixir.”

I wanted to go see him right away, but I decided not to. This was not yet the right time.

Eun Jae-ho: Sent a photo.

There were several photos attached, and I made sure to scan them all thoroughly.

Looking at the picture, I saw little Olmu lying whilst curled up in the hideout I had bought last time. The location in each photo was changed as to whether the various hiding places were used alternately.

Seeing that the gift I bought was being used, as Baekho said, the next time I personally saw it, it would definitely lift my mood.

I stared at it for a few more minutes before I saved all the photos and headed to school.

As the season drew closer to summer, the scenery on the road changed.

The trail was lush with flowers and leaves.

Students in summer uniforms began to fill the streets. The number of children wearing summer clothes has increased.

The school uniform regulations in the silver advertisement were very loose, and since April, even if they saw students wearing summer clothes, no one said anything.

It didn’t matter if I wore summer clothes or only gym clothes throughout the year. No one would talk, even if I reverted to wearing the old school uniforms.

Old school uniforms were distributed only upon application. It was in color white. This was in contrast to the new school uniform featuring a black shirt and a dark gray jacket.

There were many students who wore a mix of old school uniforms and new school uniforms.

‘Well, it’s far too hot during summer to wear a black shirt, and light-colored bottoms are burdensome.’

In summer, the number of students wearing a mix of old school uniforms for the top and new school uniforms for the bottoms increased to the point that others thought that it is the official summer uniform of Silver Commercial.

In the distance, I saw a student dressed in the old school uniform with the top of the summer uniform and the new school uniform on the bottom.

I could see that it was Joo Soo-hyuk.

“Hello, my lord.”

Joo Soo-hyuk looked very enthusiastic as if he had just witnessed something invigorating.

“Yeah, hello. Why are you wearing a robe?”

“I want to wear it starting today.”

“Shall I wear it tomorrow, too?”

When we went to school, Joo Soo-hyuk while chatting I suddenly felt nauseous.

‘Joo Soo-hyuk is a commuter student. If you came from the school gate, he wouldn’t come this way.’

Crucially, Joo Soo-hyuk had a faint burnt smell. It seemed that Joo Soo-hyuk had come to school early and did something.

“Where does the smell of burnt come from?” I asked.

“Oh, it looks like the smell hasn’t gone away yet. I’ll prepare a fabric deodorizer. Hyeji noona had been preparing, but she wore a scent that she personally combined, so borrowing it was a bit difficult.”

“What the hell have you been doing?”

Joo Soo-hyeok explained the kind of self-inflicted-ness. He had been forced to match clothes with Oh Hye-ji.

While contemplating how to handle this outfit, Oh Hye-ji, who had similar concerns, found Joo Soo-hyuk’s tuxedo, and the two of them discussed it.

‘Joo Soo-hyuk sent a tuxedo to the department of leadership through an unmanned mailbox that day. The two were members of the leadership team. So it was found.’

After consulting with Oh Hye-ji, it was said that the two had decided to burn all of their clothes.

Since morning, the two had been working with item cards in an abandoned incinerator in a closed area.

“I only burned clothes that were tailored this time, but Hyeji noona came with all the sand pink clothes and T-length dresses she had at home. Hahaha!”

Joo Soo-hyuk’s expression was very refreshing when he said that, and it didn’t look like he had been at a sand pink fire ceremony since this morning.

“I think Hyeji noona got her dress somewhere while she was attacking the other world. At that time, Sugyeom hyung blocked the enemy’s skill from flying and got hurt in the process… He said he hated the t-length dress he wore that day, all because of that.”

I had already made that assumption back then, and the explanation only confirmed my thoughts.

“Is your cousin okay?”

“Huh. Even if I use the recovery item right away, there were no after effects, so I don’t think there’ll be any further problems. However, it still seems that Hyeji noona is worried.”

Joo Soo-gyeom wasn’t the type of player who would do anything with an injury like that.

My good playable character seemed to have a lot of worries.

“Let’s walk slowly so that the burnt smell will go away.”

“Okay!”

I was walking while talking with Joo Soo-hyuk.

Joo Soo-hyuk suddenly stopped and looked back. I stopped and looked where he was staring.

‘It’s Andain.’

Andain, in a summer suit, was standing a few steps behind Soo-hyuk.

As if he had made a promise to Joo Soo-hyuk, she was wearing the same summer uniform. White top, and black bottom.

‘Is this the main character’s correction?’

Many students, including myself, were still wearing the autumn uniform.

The two were standing opposite each other in the same combination of summer clothes. This felt much like a first meeting between the male and female protagonist of a wholesome cartoon.

“Master Joo and the suspicious Jo Eui-shin! Hi!”

Moon Sae-Ron, who was standing next to Andain, suddenly greeted us.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

I think the two had gone to school together.

“Uh, hello.” Joo Soo-hyuk was embarrassed and stuttered a bit. I also answered my greeting in a concise way.

Moon Sae-ron looked at Joo Soo-hyuk once and Andain once, and then squinted her eyes at me once.

“You can see love in their eyes.”’ Moon Sae-ron, knowing that the two of them are having a kindergarten-grade thumb, is pushing them.

I decided to take advantage of the fact that it is the same newspaper department as Moon Sae-ron.

“I have a question for you from the pre-interview research material you sent me last time.”

“Me too! Dain-ah, go to school with the class president first. I’ll go talk to him.”

“Then see you later.”

With that, Moon Sae-ron and I left.

Joo Soo-hyuk stood blankly as if he was lost. He blinked and came back to his senses.

“Uh! Wait for a while…” Before Joo Soo-hyeok could even start talking nonsense about waiting for us, we made sure to exit as fast as possible.

While heading to the promenade opposite the first-grader building, Sae-ron Moon and I quietly high-fived.

I looked back and saw Joo Soo-hyuk and Anda-in walking side by side in summer clothes. This only fueled our satisfaction.

“Next time something like this happens, I promise to help as much as I can,” I told Sae-ron. She simply nodded at my reply, and then we went to our respective classrooms.

“Joui-shin, you bastard-like enemy. In front of the first grade 0 classroom.” It was Bang Yoon-seop who ended up being a mess all in all.

“Why are you like this?”

“It’s because of you! Oh, really! Turkish vegetable chibyurek was a limited edition breakfast, so I had a hard time running, you bastard!”

‘If I had sent one or two messages, I would have removed them.’

I thought it would make Bang Yoon-seop even angrier if I said this, so I decided to keep my mouth shut. At least, for the time being.

“Must be hard. Want to eat?”

“I’m not going to eat!”

Bang Yoon-seop swung over the bag full of bread and disappeared.

To refuse free bread? Was he really on that level of angry?

With that in mind, Maeng Hyo-don, who was drinking banana-flavored milk in the hallway, said it aloud.

“You bastard, I bought my share separately. But when I arrived at school, I saw a separate bag.” Bang Yoon-seop. Did he just say that he bought it with his own money?

When I asked them to buy only delicious bread, it seemed that Bang Yoon-seop also wanted to eat it.

In the morning, class 0 of the first year had a tea party with various types of bread arranged.

On the spot, I had been given the interview with Kwon Je-in, and he said that he had heard that his classmates could come with him.

“If you’re talking about the Eternal Lake team building, are you talking about the one in West Seoul Lake Park? It’s an off-limit location…… !”

As expected, Lena Kwon opened her eyes and looked excited.

“If it doesn’t bother you, I definitely want to go there!”

“Me too!”

“I want to go, too!”

At that time, all the children who were staff members in Hoyeon-gwan raised their hands.

Han Yi and Maeng Hyo-don also said they wanted to go soon, but Min Green faltered.

“Are you going on the weekend?” She asked, which prompted us to nod in reply.

“I think there will be a lot of people, and I have an appointment on the weekend, so I can’t go.”

I planned to go see Song Dae-seok, even on the weekend. Imagining the look on his face only made me want to go even more.

“Teacher, do you have some free time?”

Eternal Lake team members would also be curious about Lena Kwon’s homeroom teacher.

Teacher Ham Geun-hyung shook his head. “We had a business trip on the weekend.”

“Yeah? Where are you going?”

“If you are going abroad, please buy me a present!”

“The dispatch request came from Hongcheon. If anything happens over the weekend, call me.”

As a result, in 1st-grade class 0, all the children except Ham Geun-hyung and Min Green, went.

“I wanted to see the Eternal Lake team building, and it worked.”

Hwang Ji-ho’s eyes were also twinkling. He would definitely be able to detect that western group in the Eternal Lake team building.

The moment I thought it was good and was about to prepare for class.

Suddenly, the question I wanted to ask Hwang Ji-ho came to mind.

‘You almost forgot to inquire about this important thing!’

I had most probably forgotten due to the many occurring incidents from the morning.

| then voiced what I was curious about. “I wonder if the Nok tribe sells an elixir for divine water.”

“Joui-shin, your intelligence is declining even if you don’t have a divine beast in front of you.”

Hwang Ji-ho, with a tired expression, replied that he would take a look.

Hearing that answer, that damn bastard actually began to look somewhat kind in my eyes.

After School.

Jiik Hall Simulator Room.

Normally I didn’t use a blindfold when I used the simulator to train, but today felt different.

‘If you hit the blinds, you’ll stand out, but…I can’t show you the complimentary heart and gold wave.’

When the complementary simgeum wave was materialized, a system sound could be heard.

I lightly swung the sword towards the virtual enemy, but I still couldn’t hear the weapon’s voice.

<Kwanglim, using ‘player’s trajectory’s>

It was the same, even when I tried to use Sangbo Shim Geumpa or complimentary heart and gold wave while changing into a character with a high overall ability level as Gwanglim.

I also considered using a fork, but it seemed that even that would not be enough.

‘Even when I used the fork three times on the ship, I couldn’t hear my voice.’

No matter how many times I thought about this, no answer presented itself to me.

‘I want to be able to handle the Sangbo Shim Geumpa well before the summer break at least.’

It reminded me of events my classmates would go through during summer break.

Until then, I wanted to increase the number of pieces I could use. This was the quest that Tae Sang-no gave me until the power of fate was activated.

It would be better to clear it and get a reward in return.

‘Should I ask for help?’

Someone who can tell me about the Complementary Heart and Gold Wave.

A master who could hear the voice of weapons.

As I set the conditions one by one, only one person came to mind.

‘Let’s call after training,’ I thought as I made my way out of the simulator room.

Someone who was waiting for me at the door spoke to me.

“Hello, my lord.” It was a game-type dragon. It was born in Yeouiju, the favorite child of the Dragon King.

Currently, he was a geeky teacher in silver advertising.

Due to this, I bet on the possibility that he might be able to help me.
