EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 359

C.359

Hwangmyeong Mansion.

Shortly after Jo Euishin left with Hwang Jiho for school, Hwanghos younger alter ego arrived at the mansion.

Hwangho, who would usually head straight to the main house, headed to one of the annexes.

The annex was silent even after the young Hwangho entered.

He headed to the living room and sat opposite Eunho enjoying his tea.

Hwangho-nim, youve arrived.

Eunho greeted Hwangho while preparing a cup of tea for him.

The young Hwangho reached for the tea and said,

Eunho, youve detected my presence quite late.

Yes. My mind and body are still not the same as before.

I see you still havent read half of the report I gave you.

With Hwanghos words, Eunho put down his teacup and floated a hologram.

Eunho got used to using a device quickly, but its evident that although hes familiar with modern-day technology, hes still adapting to things as advanced as these.

He opened a hologram and calmly spoke the truth.

I am not in a normal state. If I absorb information in a hurry, my thoughts would get sloppy. I can only enter so much information in my head a day.

I see.

Hwangho nodded, satisfied with Eunhos explanation.

Although Eunho says that hes not like he was before, Hwangho was relieved at the gesture that was very Eunho-like.

Then tell me what youve experienced as you are now.

Didnt you say the information you can take in a day is only limited?

Ive left some space in there to listen to Hwangho-nims stories. I wonder why Hwangho-nim, who must be very busy with so many things, spends time and energy being an elementary school student.

Eunho was speaking normally, but Hwangho looked quite nervous.

Theres a reason why he takes an appearance of an elementary school student.

However, half of the reason was just that he takes fun in observing a human.

Hwangho saw the expression on Eunhos face and knew that he can see through him already.

There was some incident in that elementary school.

Cheongho, who became human in the form of Hani.

And Hanis friend, Dokgo Miro.

When Hwangho finished telling the story of the elementary school, Sung Gukeon, and Jeon Muyeong to some extent, he cut off his own words with a subtle expression.

Wait. I think the moon rabbit found something on the Moon Palace. A phenomenon never observed before. The broadcasting station where the Year One Class Zero students are is involved.

How did Euishin react?

Jo Euishin doesnt seem to know about it either.

Eunho recalled the storyline in PMH as best as he could, but he couldnt remember anything related to the current situation.

Perhaps its an unexpected development

Eunho recalled the Black Screen, whose identity was never revealed even at the end of the PMH game.

Considering things, theres a high possibility that unexpected events would occur.

Euishin hyung has been blocking them all this time. In the future, unexpected developments would surely occur.

Eunho decided to confirm what was observed in the Moon Palace.

He asked while recalling the contents of the report he read today.

A long time ago, there was a report that an otherworld that spawned without warning was observed from the Moon Palace, right?

That was the case when we went to the baseball stadium on Childrens Day and during the youth retreat. I think its the Black Screens doing.

And the thing thats observed now is different from that.

Yes.

Eunho compared the phenomenon with the events in the PMH game where an otherworld suddenly spawning occurred.

His silence continued for a while as if he was having difficulty finding an answer.

Hwangho, who was quietly watching Eunho, finally spoke.

Eunho, about your descendant that the damned moon rabbit

Eunhos thoughts were interrupted by the word descendant

He unconsciously recalled the tianji hes read a long time ago.

The one where his descendant became a warrior that would defend their land, and his brother and his friends would die while protecting his descendant.

But isnt that a long time ago already? Foreign enemies have already disappeared so!

However, the laws of heaven and earth were bound to change over time.

Eunho cannot see the future now, so he has no way to confirm it.

In a tense voice, Eunho asked Hwangho.

Have you met my descendant?

Yes. Although not your immediate descendant.

Not an immediate descendant?

Hwanghos words made it sound like Eunho had more descendants than he knows of.

He quickly made a guess.

So my descendant have had children.

Eunho looked remarkably relieved when Hwangho said that they havent met his immediate descendant.

Theres only one descendant that hes seen when he read the tianji, and that was his daughter born a long time ago.

Seeing Eunhos wary attitude, Hwangho decided to drop the topic about the descendants.

Eunho tried to speak again to dig deeper about his descendants, but the conversation didnt continue further.

!

Hwangho suddenly raised his head and hurriedly turned on his device to contact someone.

His hardened expression seemed to mean that something was happening.

Whats going on, Hwangho?

An otherworld spawned in the broadcasting station. Outside communication is blocked. Their weapon items are sealed as well. Im calling our subordinates.

Eunhos face stiffened.

He doesnt have to worry about Hwangho.

Hwangho is a mythical tiger, and even if he suffers damages, he can switch alter egos at any moment so he could escape any situation.

What Eunho was worried about was someone other than Hwangho.

Euishin hyung just woke up today!

The human-turned Cheongho can fight with her bare hands, but hes still worried about them.

While Hwangho was calling his subordinates, Eunho grabbed him and asked.

Please tell me the names of all the players at the broadcasting station.

Hwangho put out a list and handed it over to Eunho.

After checking the names, Eunho became even more anxious.

There were unfamiliar names, but some names he remembered were there.

I have a bad feeling about this.

The young Hwangho buried himself deep on the sofa after contacting people.

Hes relaxing his body so that he can focus more power on his other alter egos.

From here on, I will lead those who can fight and take charge of defense until backup comes.

What about Euishin? Is he coming with you?

Jo Euishin and Yong Jegun are headed somewhere else. I think they plan on joining with Yeom Junyeol first.

Eunho felt uncomfortable.

Hes not at the scene so he doesnt know the details, but he can tell that Jo Euishin was acting strange.

Euishin hyung is going separate ways with his playable characters from Class Zero? Yong Jegun and Yeom Junyeol are his playable characters too but Considering things, it would be natural for him to go join Hwangho-nim.

Eunho was convinced that theres something that made Jo Euishin join Yong Jegun and Yeom Junyeol.

After thinking of what measures to take, Eunho spoke again.

Its still hard for me to see the changes in this world and the observations I saw from the other universe. Ill leave it up to Hwangho-nim and Euishin hyung to take care of things there. Instead, I have a favor to ask.

Hwangho nodded as he listened to Eunho.

Hwangho also felt uneasy about Jo Euishins behavior, so he decided to follow Eunhos opinion without question.

* * *

Apollo controls a number of areas.

The Sun God Apollo symbolizes art, medicine, and prophecies.

He was the god of archery who competed with Artemis.

Apollo left countless stories related to archery in Greek mythology.

The most famous of them was the story of how he protected his mother, Leto, where he shot a phyton with a bow.

That phyton used to be classified as a dragon.

If Cadmus is the natural enemy of the Dragon Clan, Apollo is the natural enemy of Cadmus.

Cadmus, a dragon that owes the Greek gods.

Apollo, a Greek god, and a dragon slayer.

When Cadmus saw the arrow of the sun, he hurriedly lifted a shield made of lion skin and tried to protect his vital points.

However, my target was something else.

Fwaaa!

The place where the sun arrow was pointed was on the thing he used to kill Drakon.

I had to prioritize neutralizing him and stopping him from hurting dragons further.

You! Youre going to borrow the power of gods in that state?

Yong Jegun shouted in an urgent voice.

I pulled the bow before Yong Jegun could stop me.

Swish! Whoosh!

The explosion produced a light that blocked my vision.

I was convinced that the sun arrow destroyed Cadmus spear considering the huge collision.

But I cant relax just yet.

What Cadmus used to kill Drakon Ismenios was two spears and a lions leather shield. Ive broken one spear, but theres still one left.

I put an arrow on Apollos bow again.

At the same time, Ham Geunhyungs card fluttered in front of me, as if giving me a warning that I dont have much time left with my Player Identity skill.

I have about ten seconds.

I knew that the usable time for my light skill would decrease if I use it with the Fate of the Unknown card, but I didnt know time would run out this quickly.

Its more exhausting than I thought! Even though I borrowed the power of a god, I only shot one arrow. Is it because I suffered a lot of damage?

The taste of blood filled my mouth, and the action of loading an arrow again seemed to make my energy wave go unstable.

I need to smash that spear!

Perhaps it was because of excessive bleeding, but my vision became blurred and I began to lose strength in my fingers.

The Ham Geunhyung that I know from PMH game is capable of killing an enemy even while hes severely injured, but its surely different now that Im doing it.

Fwaaaa! Shaa! Crash!

Cadmus bloodlust was still strong even while the bow gathered power.

His target was Yong Jegun, who was busy using his spatial skill to cover me.

The spear wielded by Cadmus isnt as powerful as the Dragons Fang, but hes aggressively approaching us, breaking layers of space in the process.

Hes too fast! I cant focus on the spear!

I decided to change my target.

Swoosh!

However

Cadmus was able to change the arrows trajectory.

The sun arrow struck the wall in vain and lost its power before melting down.

Was it foolish of me to use the same arrow on Thebes hero?!

I felt distant in front of me.

At the same time, Apollos shrine disappeared into a particle of light.

The time limit for my Fate of the Unknown card is over.

Cadmus mustve felt that Apollos power disappeared, and so he grabbed his spear tighter and continued rushing toward us.

Yong Jegun gathered his strength as he prepared a space again, as if he intends to use his light skill.

However, Yong Jeguns light skill involves the appearance of a dragon, and so its foolish to use that in front of a dragon slayer.

I can still use my light skill. But if I dont heal myself right now

Instead of Kwak Gyungus defense light skill, I can invoke Ham Geunhyungs light skill again to counterattack.

But if that fails

I cant hesitate right now. If I do, Yong Jegun and Yeom Junyeol will get hurt.

I made up my mind.

As if the skill read my hesitation, two cards appeared in my mind.

One was Kwak Gyungu, the other was Ham Geunhyung.

Just when I focused on Ham Geunhyungs card

Fwaaaa!

Arrows flew through the open window.

Hundreds of arrows containing light poured toward Cadmus.

Just like the skill I used moments ago, theyre infused with Apollos power.

These arrows are!

Over the broken window

I saw Professor Ham Geunhyung in a distance
