EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 408

C.408

At one of Hwangmyeong Mansions annexes.

I slept very well, and the morning I woke up to was the best.

Woof!

Olmu, who woke up before I did, was waiting for me!

With Olmus greeting, the sleepiness quickly drained away from my body and was replaced by full vitality.

Since when have you been awake? You dont want to sleep anymore?

Woof woof!

I thought the angel was overdoing himself because of me, but Olmu sounded so alive and healthy perhaps because hes a genius.

I was so proud of his appearance that I bolted from the bed before I realized it just so I could pet Olmu and give him well-deserved praise.

I came to my senses when the thought of Olmu finding my praises a bother, but the kind Olmu didnt seem to mind it.

I should consider the possibility that I wont be able to stop by my dorm any time soon.

This room in the annex had a walk-in closet.

It was filled with school uniforms, casual clothes, bags, sneakers, shoes, and many more.

I hesitated for a while because my hands didnt go as smoothly as I thought they would, but the fit of the school uniform and dress shirt was exact for my body.

The sleeves of the uniform I have is starting to feel a little short.

The ones prepared here were slightly larger than the school uniform and shoes I applied for at the beginning of the semester.

They probably noticed that I got taller.

I decided that I should take into consideration my growth rate when applying for a uniform next year, and then I headed out of the room.

Right when I opened the door, my main playable character Baekho-gun greeted me.

I almost said What you looking at? the moment we made eye contact, but I was able to swallow the words that almost came out.

I cant make the same mistake as last time!

I almost made a similar mistake when I first encountered Baekho-gun in this world.

Did you sleep well?

I wouldve greeted him first if I hadnt almost made a slip of the tongue.

My main playable character who doesnt speak much had just greeted me, so I answered him with joy.

Yeah, you?

He didnt respond right away.

Instead of answering yes, he said that his physical condition was okay.

From what he said, it seems like Baekho-gun hadnt slept at all.

We talked about Sanryeong with Eunho before we went to bed. Could it be related to that?

Is Sanryeong disturbing Baekho-guns sleep?

I should help catch Sanryeong next time I get the chance.

Baekho-gun and I headed to the first floor of the annex, and we ran into Eunho and Hwang Jiho.

The two quickly checked my physical condition as soon as they saw me.

I knew that they were both worried about me but

I felt like a patient.

Still, I couldnt just refuse to be examined.

Especially to Eunho.

Eunho saw me at the last moments of my life when he was Cheon Sungheon, so I have no choice.

I dont know yet how far Eunho has talked about my condition in the previous world.

Still, even if I dont ask, I could tell that Eunho was mindful of it.

The result of the short examination was the two tigers leading me to the dining room without many words.

Yours truly made everything for this morning. We ate a little too much yesterday, so I prepared a simple menu.

Hwang Jiho said that he didnt prepare much, but looking at the table, it didnt seem like it at all.

Not counting the red bean rice and seaweed soup with perilla seeds, the number of side dishes prepared exceeded double digits, so how is it a simple meal?

It wasnt as grand as the birthday meal we had yesterday, but all the dishes were different from yesterday so it doesnt seem to be simple at all.

On top of that, it seems like Hwang Jiho prepared food for the people at the main building too.

Kim Shinrok and the other descendants wouldve helped in the main building.

I thought so, but I was careful not to talk about the descendants since theyre the reason why Eunho was staying in the annex after all.

Baekho-gun and Eunho dont have a resemblance in their faces, but they look like brothers because of their similar colors.

My attention fell on the tigers illuminated by the morning light.

When Eunho talks quietly, Baekho-gun listens silently.

Sometimes, Eunho wags his tail and expresses interest.

Perhaps because theyre all colored white, Baekho-gun and Eunho and Olmu looked like a family.

The non-white tiger on the other hand well

Hwang Jiho had no resemblance to them, but because he laughs out loud and talks well, he seemed to be a natural part of the family.

I guess its a little awkward that Im mixed up here.

Before, and even right after I came to this world, I usually skipped breakfast.

When I started going to Eungwang High, I had breakfast in my room or at the Jiik Hall cafeteria.

Im not used to having breakfast in this kind of atmosphere.

I tried to bring up what I couldnt say yesterday to join the conversation, but I hesitated.

I guess its kind of weird to talk about work at a breakfast table like this.

It feels like a family gathering, so I think its best to be careful about the choice of topic.

I wonder when we should talk about what happened in England and our future activities?

Should I just skip school to talk about it today?

I was reluctant to skip school too since it would affect our class attendance rate.

I dont want to imagine Professor Ham Geunhyung and the other kids disappointed faces, so I felt the urge to get this talk over with right away.

Maybe its because Ive missed school often these days but Ive met the other kids yesterday, I was leaning toward skipping class.

Just eat comfortably, Euishin hyung. Youll get indigestion if you have too many thoughts while eating.

Did he notice that I was looking for the timing to bring up something?

Eunho quickly blocked my attempt.

Its been a while since you went to school. Well hear your story later. Go to school for now.

Does that mean he wants me to come to the annex after school today?

It seems like there was a hidden thorn in his words though.

There were good reasons why I couldnt go to school, but anyway, those dont change my absence.

If theres something urgent that comes up, Hwangho-nim and I can take care of it. You like Eungwang High and the people at school, dont you Euishin hyung? I hope you would enjoy your school life.

Thats right, Jo Euishin. Ill o to school with you, and Ill leave an alter ego in the mansion. If anything happens, well know right away.

The two tigers persuasion continued.

Eunho floated a hologram.

What was written was a device code that I was seeing for the first time.

Hwang Jiho mustve prepared a device for Eunho while I was away.

Its my device code. Whenever Hwangho-nim is busy, you can call me instead.

I exchanged device codes with Eunho.

No, to put it more accurately, I wrote down his device code since mine was already registered in his contacts.

Take care.

Woof woof!

I came to my senses and promised to come to the annex immediately after class.

It felt like I was caught in a trap prepared by the tigers, but since I had no urgent schedule, I ended up accepting my fate.

On the way to school, the white tigers saw us off.

Goodbye, Euishin-ah. You too Jiho.

It was still early in the morning, so the front gate of the school was quiet.

We ran into Cheon Dongha, who seemed like he was guarding the front gate.

Something like this is usually led by two people, but only Cheon Dongha was there.

Hi, Cheon Dongha sunbaenim.

I greeted Cheon Dongha normally, but this old man, who stopped pretending to be a human in front of Cheon Dongha, displayed his fossil age early in the morning.

Good work in the morning, I see.

I know Jiho isnt human, but its very awkward.

Cheon Dongha looked at Hwang Jiho with a complicated expression.

Hwang Jiho playfully put on a younger expression.

Shall I change the way I speak?

Thats still awkward. Anyway, youre from Class Zero, Jiho. Ill just pass it off as a weird Class Zero hoobae thing.

Well, I guess regarding him as Class Zero works too.

After all, our classmates already accepted Hwang Jihos old-guy language.

Anyway, Cheon Dongha looked defeated.

The recent revelation of his hidden younger brothers secret was revealed, so I guess hes now immune to most things.

He looked around, checking if there were other people around, before speaking.

I was going to talk about Eunha later, but I think its better for the Tiger Clan to take care of him for the time being.

The atmosphere at home mustnt be so good.

Cheon Dongha had a complex face.

His family is a conglomerate family whose hands are precious.

The Cheon family is one of the pillars of the TC Group, which is infested with all kinds of suspicious activities.

Yes. If possible, I think its best that we keep up a front that hes still paralyzed until just before the Eungwang High entrance exam. Ill do my best to prepare things so that he wont have any problems.

Alright. Tell me right away if theres any problem.

I never knew Id be indebted to the Hwangmyeong Group again.

Cheon Dongha and Hwang Jiho talked about Eunhos future for a while.

It seems like the day when Eunho comes out of the annex is still a bit far away.

By the time they finished talking, I asked for something to change the atmosphere.

Youre at the gate earlier than usual today. Is there something wrong?

Professor Ham Geunhyung asked me to.

A request from Professor Ham Geunhyung?

Did something happen lately?

There was a problem at the broadcasting station recently, I guess thats why. Were trying to preempt anything by deploying student council teams everywhere.

So the other student council members are deployed too.

Yeah. I have a wide vision so I can deal with being on my own.

The problem at the broadcasting station.

Professor Ham Geunhyung.

Student Council members guarding gates.

From those, I could deduce why Cheon Dongha was here and what sort of favor Ham Geunhyung asked him.

Will Dokgo Miro attend school today?

Dokgo Miro coming back to school warrants this kind of activity at least.

Cheon Dongha nodded, confirming my guess.

Thats right. Miro was a runner-up in the audition program, and there was a big incident in her last episode in Playlist. Were preparing for media people to cause trouble. Oh?

Cheon Dongha looked up and stared far away as if he saw something.

Apparently, his light skill wasnt activated, but it seems like he was looking around with his intuition skill.

Why is he riding that?

Cheon Dongha muttered with a puzzled look.

Hwang Jiho also looked in the general direction as if he sensed something approaching.

And, as soon as something entered my field of vision

A fiery energy wave flies in the air.

Its Yeom Junyeol!

From the sky, it was Yeom Junyeol flying toward Eungwang High on Hongryongs back.
