EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school
Chapter 1257: Maengsimhaeng Gapseoyang (10)
When I heard that Eunho would be waiting for me and that I would go with him, many thoughts crossed my mind.
The first thought that came to mind was that it was nice to see the tigers being friendly with each other, and that I was happy to be able to quickly confirm Eunho’s safety with my own eyes.
‘They say it’s safer than Mt. Halla or the coast, but TC’s air hotel is not as safe as Eun Kwang-go. Especially considering that the mastermind hasn’t yet known about it, it would have been better to protect myself, but I took action myself.’
Eunho was working with Cheon Dong-ha to crack down on TC’s internal affairs, but the influence of the two students was limited.
No matter how broad Cheon Dong-ha’s perspective was, it was difficult to predict and stop the movements of those who were trying to take advantage of the otherworldly simulators that disrupted intelligence in the basement of the hotel in Jeju Island.
Although he was late in obtaining information, when the variable of Ji Myeong-soo appeared, Eunho stepped forward and made a move himself.
If Ji Myeong-soo was joining the mastermind, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, it would have put Eunho in danger.
But Eunho had some confidence.
―Isn’t Eui-shin’s playable character someone you can trust? It hasn’t even been a year since he graduated from Eun-gwang High School. One year isn’t enough for his actions and beliefs to waver.
―It sounds like you should consider the possibility that he might have changed if you have enough time. Then shouldn’t you move more carefully?
―That’s why I have to go now. If someone that quickly changed, there must be a reason, and the reason is likely provided by the mastermind, so you can use it to your advantage. It’s worth dealing with him directly.
Hwang Ji-ho seemed somewhat reluctant to see Eunho move directly, and alone, but Eunho was unhesitating.
Eunho didn’t completely trust Ji-myeong-soo, and he also left open the possibility that humans might change over time.
But now, because Ji-myeong-soo was my playable character, he trusted him to some extent, and that trust was not misplaced.
Eunho succeeded in placing all the targets safely.
He attended the Jeju Island breakfast meeting and got his face painted, and in a series of events, he found trustworthy members of the TC, uncovered the true intentions of Jimyungsoo, and cooperated to secure the old otherworld simulator.
‘In the battles that took place all over Jeju Island, there were big and small losses, but we were the only ones who got what we wanted without any losses.’
As expected, Eunho was amazing, and of course Jimyungsoo was amazing too, he thought with admiration.
However, as the joy subsided, his feelings became complicated.
Since the operation was successfully completed, Eunho must be checking out the situation elsewhere.
‘You must already know what happened.’
The story that Hwang Jiho heard must have already been relayed to Eunho.
Eunho tended to be somewhat overprotective, perhaps because he had seen her in pain in the previous world.
Unlike White Tiger, who acts annoyed but doesn’t interfere with what I do, Eunho, my younger brother, was always worried.
In particular, when I got hurt or went through something difficult, he would often express his worries at length.
Just imagining it is painful and painful, but I have to think about the possibility that Eunho might add ‘hyung’ to ‘that word’ when he calls me.
‘This time in particular, he acted like ‘that word’ by borrowing the appearance of Yeom Junyeol. So it might come out worse.’
I was already prepared for the use of ‘that word’ this time, and the time Hyangrok joined.
I was prepared to drink a really bad elixir and hear ‘that word’ here and there.
I thought I had already gotten used to the Red Lion and the Dragon Tribe discussing the number, but when Hyangrok excitedly measured my pulse and came up with a new elixir and said Eunho was coming, my determination wavered.
“Joeui-shin, Cheongho. Come quickly.”
“Hwangho, you were still wearing your school uniform today?”
“This body likes the uniform of Eun Kwang High School.”
I met Hwang Jiho before Eunho.
Hwang Jiho, who had seen Cheongho off from Jeju Island, came to pick him up at the airport, which made me feel awkward.
Even though the one who saw him off was Hwang Jiho, who was in his 30s, and the one who came to pick him up was Hwang Jiho, who was in his teens, I had a strong sense that they were the same.
Perhaps because he had carried out a big operation and had many clones, Hwang Jiho seemed to lack his usual energy and playfulness.
However, even in that situation, he seemed to have done everything he could.
“Jo Ui-shin, I told Eunho everything about the experiment you did.”
I had expected it, but after hearing the details, my complicated feelings grew even more.
Since Eunho usually nags me a lot, did he expect me to get scolded this time?
Hyang-rok, who was still holding my wrist to feel my pulse, said brightly, perhaps noticing my change.
“Wow, my pulse is faster now!”
If you know in advance that lightning is coming, you can prepare yourself and prepare yourself mentally, but you have to endure the anxiety until it strikes.
If you watch the dark clouds full of lightning approaching, this is what you will feel.
Cheong-ho said, dumbfounded.
“Hwang-ho, it sounds more like you tatted on me than shared information.”
“Is that so? You’re not wrong.”
Hwang Ji-ho seemed to have no intention of denying it.
And soon, it was here.
Eun-ho spotted the limousine we were riding on the other side of the underground parking lot entrance and exit of the airport and walked over.
Eun-ho was so unremarkable that it was hard to believe that she was in Jeju Island, where all sorts of incidents had occurred.
It was almost believable even if he had just run into Eunho in plain clothes in the residential area of Eun Gwang-go.
Eunho greeted him in a gentle tone as he got into the car.
“You’ve all had a hard time.”
“You’ve had a hard time too.”
“I heard that he dug a wide trap around their territory and placed assassins in case the two families escaped, but Cheongho and his disciples took care of them all.”
“I’m glad that my disciples and I did our part this time.”
Eunho politely greeted him and continued talking.
It seemed that Cheongho had been keeping in mind that he had failed to do his part when he confronted Jinwoong Palseon.
It was almost impossible, but if Cheongho had failed this time because he had not been able to demonstrate his abilities or had failed to fulfill his given role, which had increased the burden on Hwang Ji-ho, Eunho would have been skeptical when using Cheongho for important operations.
Hwang Ji-ho will give his friend a chance to trust him, but Eun-ho would rather have Cheong-ho not come to the front lines.
‘That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about Cheong-ho.’
Just as he didn’t use Heuk-ho in this move, he didn’t look down on him.
I was quietly listening to Eun-ho and Cheong-ho talking and looking out the window.
“Eui-shin hyung.”
Eun-ho’s words made me come to my senses.
I thought he would say ‘that word’ after talking to Cheong-ho and Hwang Ji-ho for a long time, but the conversation was short and he just called me by my name.
Eun-ho smiled gently as if trying to ease my tension.
I became even more nervous.
“You must be very tired. We have a lot to talk about, so instead of going to school, it would be better to go to the annex. Let’s go together.”
“......Okay.”
“Eui-shin hyung, I’ll check your pulse too.”
Eunho said that although his level is not high by modern standards, he has healing skills.
I thought that Eunho, who is said to be knowledgeable in medicine, was worrying about my physical condition for no reason, but Eunho grabbed my wrist and asked Hyangrok.
“I don’t know much about the fact that the power of the ability is severely depleted and my energy is somewhat unstable. How did Hyangrok know about what happened to Uishin Hyung?”
“Just like that? If you feel the pulse for a few thousand years, wouldn’t you naturally know?”
“Hyangrok was an excellent pharmacist even a few thousand years ago. I guess it’s a field that’s difficult to know with experience alone.”
Hyangrok must have been a kind and smart pharmacist since ancient times.
And he’s been passionately researching for such a long time, and in the present tense.
The elixir wasn’t good, but it was amazing anyway.
While watching Eunho talk to Hyangrok gently, as if standing on thin ice, we arrived at the annex of the Eun-gwang-gu Tiger Mansion.
Cheongho asked while staring intently at the entrance to Eunho’s annex.
“Are you going to talk about something important? Is Hyangrok okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
Eunho said while looking at Hyangrok and me, who were still holding my hand.
“Hyangrok knows how to read signs of pain, so there’s something I want you to confirm in front of Uishin.”
What on earth is Eunho trying to confirm through Hyangrok?
Hyangrok has already told me all the results of my pulse diagnosis, and I also told him about the experiment, albeit late.
And judging from his tone of voice, it seemed like he was trying to confirm something other than me with Hyangrok and show it to me.
I couldn’t figure out what Eunho was trying to do.
Eunho opened the front door and said.
“Actually, I expected that Eui-shin would do something dangerous this time.”
Hwang Ji-ho, who had been quiet the whole time, reacted to Eun-ho’s words.
“Eun-ho, did you know that Jo Ui-shin would do such an experiment?”
“I expected it.”
“Did that Baek-ho guy tell you only because he’s your younger brother?”
“No, Baek-ho hyung only says what he wants to say these days and doesn’t say anything important. He’s not here right now.”
As he said, the white tiger was not visible in the annex.
Instead, Black Tiger and Un-sa, who seemed tired of waiting, were asleep.
Black Tiger was curled up on the sofa, probably sleeping soundly, but Un-sa opened his eyes when he sensed someone’s presence.
It would have been nice to just lie down comfortably in the room, but it seems that he couldn’t just wait for his friends to fight in a dangerous place.
Un-sa smiled on his dry face when he saw the tigers.
“Come on! I should have woken up and greeted you.”
“Just sit there, Unsa. If you wake up, wouldn’t Black Tiger wake up too?”
“Black Tiger would want to wake up too... He barely slept, so should I just let him sleep?”
While I was watching the tigers and Unsa exchange greetings, Eunho whispered to me.
“Actually, there’s something I wanted to tell you after death.”
Black Tiger soon rubbed his eyes and woke up, rejoicing at the sight of Cheongho and Hwangjiho nearby.
Unsa was a birch tree reached out his eggplant-like hand and patted Heukho.
“Hyung Eui-shin, you checked everything about what happened to the third-year students of Eun-gwang High School on Mt. Halla, and how they encountered the enemy and descended, right?”
Up until this moment, I had no idea what Eun-ho was trying to say, but it gradually became more specific.
Eun-ho’s gaze was fixed on Un-sa, so it was easier to understand.
I saw the word brazier, and Un-sa was found inside the brazier.
“There were some numbers that Eun-shin didn’t know about. Before I hear about the experiment that Eun-shin did, I’ll tell you about mine. I’ll ask Hyang-rok first.”
After hearing Eun-ho’s words, I looked down at Hyang-rok, and Hyang-rok was already unable to take his eyes off Un-sa.
He seemed to have already sensed something.
“Hyang-rok, would you take Un-sa’s pulse?”
“I will!”
Hyang-rok, who had not let go of my wrist, took his hand off and turned to Un-sa.
Starting with Hyang-rok’s body temperature disappearing, I felt my hand getting cold.
Hyang-rok, who had grabbed Un-sa’s wrist, shouted in a bright voice.
Soon, Hyang-rok read the signs of pain remaining in Un-sa’s body and exclaimed several times.
“Amazing! How did you endure such pain with a body like this?”
I could guess what Eun-ho had done to make the brazier, but I didn’t know if I had the right to say anything since I had hidden the details of the experiment.
Eun-ho said as ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) he watched me not being able to continue speaking.
“Then let’s sit down and talk. Red Cliff Phantom.”
