EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1093: At the end of a long fight (3)

If Yong Je-gun had been a dragon who willingly stepped aside when asked, the reputation of the playful dragons from the amusement world would not have spread this widely.

Yong Je-gun deliberately displayed part of the spatial magic he had left behind as a hint and spoke proudly.

"Wow, you just broke that with Taehogwon, right? Even now, the total amount of Ineungpa is not very high, but to break this with just control—impressive."

‘Even now,’ huh.

Although he must be older, is this something he should say to Eun-ho, a first-year student at Eungwang High, who looks like Cheon Eun-ha?

It might have seemed odd to speak with such familiarity as if they had known each other for a long time, but since Yong Je-gun often spoke like this, everyone had grown used to it and didn’t think much of it.

Moreover, the trust that came from his title as Cheon Dong-ha’s younger brother was substantial.

"That was just now, right? You tapped the space magic of Yeoyiboju, the student from Eungwang High? You seem like a first-year, calling him your senior even though he’s an unnamed rising star."

"Ah, a younger brother of the Anhungji family, huh? From the 0th class, I believe? By the way, he’s the top-ranked first-year student at Eungwang High. I did some research since he might participate, but he didn’t show up."

"0th class. I’ve heard of the rumors about Eungwang High’s 0th class."

"...I knew it would happen like this. I thought you’d come to save him if he got caught by Yong Je-gun."

"Ah, you’re a first-year at Eungwang High too."

With the added information of being Cheon Dong-ha’s younger sibling, the top-ranked first-year student, and from the 0th class, no one doubted Eun-ho’s identity as a human.

Considering the extraordinary, insane things that the 0th class seniors had done, I thought that even if Yong Je-gun had only broken a bit of the barrier, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The first-year juniors who had done the interview with Eun-ho added, "He follows his brother well," and everyone nodded in agreement.

It seemed like everyone had taken an interest in Eun-ho, and they all looked this way, but when Yong Je-gun smiled and tried to make eye contact, they all turned their heads.

It was convenient when a dragon from the amusement world was chasing away spectators. fгeewebnovёl.com

I greeted Cheon Dong-ha and then spoke to Eun-ho.

"You must be busy, how did you get here?"

"It’s nothing compared to Yi-shin hyung or Dong-ha hyung. I’m not busy at all."

Though he said that, there was no way Eun-ho wasn’t busy. Huang Ji-ho was in a crisis, the Hojo clan was on the move, and Cheong-ho had regained his memory.

Cheon Dong-ha gave a faint smile, seemingly happy for his younger brother, but I felt more apologetic than happy.

‘I helped out during the retreat, and now I owe him /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ again.’

During the retreat, Eun-ho had joined in place of Moon Sae-ron, who went on an interview trip to Japan.

Eun-ho, as a member of the newspaper club, had not only documented the retreat process, collected press materials, and published promotional articles, but also analyzed the matches, strengths, and weaknesses of the team, making significant contributions.

So, he could be considered a bona fide staff member, and this time, it seemed like Eun-ho had come in place of Moon Sae-ron.

If Moon Sae-ron had given up the opportunity to interview players at the after-party, it might be because he was dealing with something urgent and pressing.

Meanwhile, perhaps because Yong Je-gun had clearly dropped a hint, Yeom Jun-yeol quietly stared at Cheon Eun-ha.

"Eun-ha, would it be alright if I formally introduced you to Jun-yeol later?"

"Yes, it’s better to know each other since we might run into each other at school."

"Alright."

Cheon Dong-ha and Eun-ho lowered their voices and had a pleasant conversation.

It seemed like Eun-ho was also thinking of revealing his identity to Yeom Jun-yeol.

I was a little worried that more people would know Eun-ho’s secret, but considering the remaining scenarios, it didn’t seem like a bad idea for Eun-ho to get familiar with Jun-yeol.

Still, I didn’t expect him to agree so readily; it was surprising.

Eun-ho’s voice became even quieter.

"I’d rather not be unable to move if a similar situation arises again. I want to increase my range of actions."

Eun-ho couldn’t move in this case.

Just imagining what he might have thought while facing Huang Ji-ho’s avatar made my heart heavy.

Would Eun-ho come up with different plans than before after this incident?

When the heavy atmosphere lingered for a moment, Yong Je-gun, still holding fragments of spatial magic in one hand, interjected.

"It was completely ignored, but I’m glad I got to see something interesting. Right? Eun... Eun-ha, should I call you that?"

Now that I think about it, Eun-ho had only told Yong Je-gun to step aside and hadn’t responded to him at all.

Even though he had been openly ignored, Yong Je-gun looked genuinely pleased.

Still, not wanting to keep being ignored, Yong Je-gun tried to tease Eun-ho, using his identity as bait for some playful mischief.

Instead of reacting to Yong Je-gun’s attitude or antics, Eun-ho kept the same smile as when he first appeared and said the same thing.

"Could you step aside?"

"I don’t want to step aside just yet. How about you, Jun-yeol? Don’t you want to talk more with Yi-shin? If I take you to the Dragon Palace, you’ll have much more time to chat."

Yong Je-gun suddenly brought Yeom Jun-yeol into the conversation.

Eun-ho smiled and looked at Yeom Jun-yeol.

Though he was smiling gently, there seemed to be an unusual attraction, and Yeom Jun-yeol blinked.

But Yeom Jun-yeol responded with a smile.

"If it’s not an urgent matter, would you mind giving way?"

Yeom Jun-yeol spoke in a kind tone, like a senior asking a junior.

"From what I heard from Yong Je-gun-sensei, Yi-shin seems to have experienced a lot that I don’t know about. I want to take him to the Dragon Palace and hear his story. He doesn’t look well, so it might be good to let the shrine maidens treat him there."

Although Yeom Jun-yeol had been very active during the exchange competition, he hadn’t received any personal awards, and he must have been busy and exhausted as the team representative.

Yet, despite all that, he was still considerate because of a few words from Yong Je-gun, and just seeing Yeom Jun-yeol made me feel warm and content.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

As my head became a bit fuzzy from exhaustion, I felt a surge of emotion.

Given that Yeom Jun-yeol had shown such thoughtfulness and that I had owed Yong Je-gun a favor regarding the wish and the clothes, I started to think it would be a good idea to visit the Dragon Palace and thank them.

Just then, Eun-ho spoke, almost as if reading my mind.

"I respect Yi-shin hyung’s choice."

I was surprised, thinking that the tigers would openly oppose me going to the Dragon Palace, but it was unexpected.

Even though Yong Je-gun also seemed surprised, I could see him narrowing his slanted eyes.

Eun-ho added softly.

"But what Yi-shin hyung needs is not treatment, but rest. And if he delays the things he needs to finish and the conversations he needs to have, he won’t be able to rest peacefully."

Eun-ho’s words immediately snapped me to attention.

There were still many things I needed to discuss with the tigers, and things I needed to check.

I immediately steeled myself.

Noticing that I had made up my mind, Yeom Jun-yeol sighed, and Yong Je-gun once again hid his cyan-colored eyes behind half-closed lids.

"I’m sorry. I’ll visit the Dragon Palace next time."

"Make sure to come next time. You’re always welcome."

"I wouldn’t mind if the ‘next time’ was in about 10 seconds, right, Jun-yeol?"

"That’s true."

With a silent smile, Yong Je-gun spoke to Eun-ho, who was waiting for their departure.

"You know Yi-shin well."

Hearing Yong Je-gun’s words, Cheon Dong-ha muttered in amazement.

"My little brother got one over on Yong Je-gun-sensei...!"

I wasn’t sure if this reaction was warranted, but since Cheon Dong-ha had supported the team in many ways despite being busy with family matters, I thought it was a good thing.

Yong Je-gun didn’t just back down.

"How petty. I’ve prepared everything to take Yi-shin to the Dragon Palace after sucking his soul out."

After making his mischief and failing, Yong Je-gun revealed his intentions, scratching at my feelings.

Outside Eungwang Global Stadium.

After the closing ceremony, the audience began heading home or moving to nearby restaurants.

Among them, there were second-year 0th class students returning after cheering.

"Those gamblers tried to target the Korean team before the game started, I’m so glad no one got hurt!"

"If we had discovered them first, we could have ended it more elegantly and gracefully, but what a shame."

"We’re too noticeable to do anything quietly. It would have been hard to catch them."

Although the players weren’t informed to prevent affecting the exchange match, individuals sent by gambling agencies caused a disturbance right before the game began.

Private gambling agencies usually make huge profits by manipulating the flow, process, and results of games, but these agents had failed to get their hands on the students.

They had tried to approach students, but couldn’t get anyone to fall for it, and didn’t manage to find anything to blackmail them with.

Many had predicted Korea’s victory before the match, so the gambling agents targeted the Korean team players to maximize their profits based on the odds, but they failed spectacularly.

"I heard they were caught while Senior Kwon Jae-in was performing? It’s a relief they didn’t disrupt the performance."

"If they had barged into the game at that moment, they would have been caught in the Blue Violinist’s glare."

"...But those gamblers were found hanging upside down. It wasn’t the teachers who did it, but it seemed like something from the Choi Byeon-deok hunting party. Is that okay?"

Song Dae-seok raised a reasonable question.

The gamblers were found hanging upside down at the corner of the stadium entrance.

Teachers, including Ham Geun-hyung, found them during their patrols, and upon checking the records, they confirmed they had tried to break into the entrance near the Korean team’s waiting room.

Hwang Ho, who was aware of the whole situation, thought as he listened to his classmates.

‘If they had successfully infiltrated the stadium, the hojo clan would have dealt with them, but they got lucky.’

The gamblers didn’t acknowledge it, but they were lucky.

There were many members of the hojo clan who came to watch the game, wanting to see the benefactor Jo Yi-shin and his successor, Ahn Da-in.

Since there was a barrier in the stadium, it would have been detected as soon as they crossed, and the hojo clan would have responded, but it was a pity that Choi Byeon-deok’s hunting party was the first to strike.

In the past, just the fact that they had attempted to infiltrate would have prompted the hojo clan to take action, but it was a rare good day, and there was much to do, so the matter was handed over to the association.

"Miro, Hyo-don, and Yi-shin went to the after-party for the exchange match! It seems like they’ll be hard to see today."

Kim Yu-ri changed the topic by sharing news from a classmate.

The kids expressed their disappointment that the three wouldn’t be coming.

"I wanted to talk to them too... What a shame."

"Among the three, there are probably some we already know. The unnamed rising star knows the situation of his classmates well."

"That’s right. Yi-shin, of course, and Miro is close with Hani, so they probably know about it!"

"Then is it only Hyo-don who doesn’t know?"

As Jin Jeong-muk and Sa Wol-seum said, Jo Yi-shin and Dokgo Miro were more aware of the situation than the class.

The 0th class students talked about the absent classmates as they moved.

Thanks to Kim Yu-ri’s prior reservation, they were able to go to a restaurant near the stadium without any problems, even though it was crowded.

At the reserved table in the family restaurant, Hwang Ho settled next to the classmate he had been aiming for.

"In-seon Oh."

In-seon Oh, who had been listening to the class's conversation, turned her head and looked at Hwang Ho.

Cheong-ho, who was sitting opposite In-seon, also quietly watched her.

In-seon was now surrounded by the tigers.

Hwang Ho thought about Jo Yi-shin and the nightmares his benefactor had borne as he spoke.

"We haven't had a chance to talk yet. Let's talk a lot today."
