EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 785

‘Oh no.’

I couldn’t think of what to do even after the filming was over.

I led the conversation to try and ease the atmosphere, but the more I spoke, the worse it came out to be.

Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain headed to their respective organizations in an awkward state.

“Suspicious VP, are you just gonna sit still?”

Moon Saeron came to me with the excuse of having an interview as she spoke with gritted teeth and low voice.

I wasn’t interrupting my playable characters’ relationship on purpose.

Regardless of my intent, it still turned out this way.

Moon Saeron kept looking at me until she left.

Meanwhile, Dokgo Miro got a hold of the situation and clicked her tongue.

“Hey, what’s up with you today? Your brain usually works fast.”

Rather than an idol or a classmate, Dokgo Miro spoke to me in her King of Back Alleys voice.

It seems like the King supports the Joo Soohyuk-Ahn Dain couple.

I felt happy that the two’s supporters are increasing among the new ambassadors.

While looking at the two’s photos, Dokgo Miro said,

“They look good together.”

“Yeah, very.”

“Right? Everyone seems comfortable with cameras. The expressions are natural.”

Seeing the two’s perfect appearance made me feel a little better.

I looked at the photos and saw that Dokgo Miro was looking at one of mine.

I used to model when I was a chess player so I’m used to standing in front of the camera.

I didn’t particularly like it, but it’s not that I can’t do the task.

And of course, Dokgo Miro’s photos also look exquisite.

“You too.”

“Yeah, I did my best.”

I can’t imagine how hard Dogko Miro works to get over the horror she feels when in the presence of cameras.

She must’ve felt the same way I did when I started playing chess again.

Although she couldn’t debut, Dokgo Miro’s weakness turned into her strength.

Dokgo Miro can sense whenever there’s a camera around and always make eye contact.

“I can’t tell you the details, but I’m doing a project right now.”

Dokgo Miro’s focus is on singing, so it’s easy to guess.

Since she said it’s a pretty big project and she can’t reveal the details, it seems obvious.

Our other classmates have noticed it too, and we’re all rooting for her even without having to ask her.

With a bright smile, Dokgo Miro said,

“I really want you guys to hear my songs. I’ve changed a lot since the busking idea that you suggested. That’s why I am who I am now.”

Considering what our classmates did for her, my contribution was nothing.

Dokgo Miro dismissed it with a “Is that so?” while looking unimpressed.

She once again said she’d let us hear her songs and then she took her leave.

As expected, the filming was brought up when I got to the tiger’s mansion.

I didn’t give them the pictures so I’m sure the Chairman of the Board abused his power to get his hands on them.

“I saw the pictures. They were good.”

Dozens of holograms of my photos were floating around Hwang Jiho.

Eunho was also organizing holograms and he clearly got a copy of the files.

“There’s a picture of you wearing your summer uniform. Wasn’t it cold?”

“The lighting made it warm. I used energy waves too.”

“Your hands must be cold, Euishin hyung. Have some tea.”

I said I was fine, but Eunho still gave me a cup of tea.

It wasn’t really cold.

My hands easily got cold starting from when I quit chess, but since I got lots of gloves last Christmas, it got a lot better.

But wait, is it still that obvious?

I should be more careful from here on.

“The more you try to hide it, the more it causes worry, Euishin hyung. Please stay warm. If it’s hard for you to do that, you might as well refrain from going out.”

Was I thinking out loud?

Looking at the other tigers’ faces, it seems like it’s just Eunho who read my mind.

I don’t know how he does that even without a skill or energy waves.

“I just know everything.”

It seems like I can’t hide my facial expressions.

I can’t be a chess player now.

Well, I stopped being a chess player a long time ago.

I had to keep drinking tea until Eunho judged that I was warm enough.

Graduation day.

Crowds flooded around the Sangin Hall.

It’s the first time I’ve seen so many people since the opening ceremony.

With people moving in an orderly fashion under the guidance of the student leaders, I found a familiar face under a colorful banner.

“Euishin-ah! I’m glad I saw you. I thought I wouldn’t see you until after the ceremony ‘cos there are so many people. You were out of contact again, how are you? I was worried that you were caught up in something dangerous again. I thought it would be a big deal since I couldn’t reach you during Lunar New Year and…”

“So talkative.”

Jang Namwook’s long greeting/nagging was interrupted by Jang Namwook.

Still, Jang Namwook looked happy to see me and Yoo Sanghoon.

Yoo Sanghoon nodded while Jang Namwook continued his long words, too lazy to cut off the latter.

“How about Do Sihoo? I thought you were going together.”

“He went to see Wonwoo hyung.”

It’s a given, but Do Sihoo, Do Wonwoo’s relative, is also here.

Although he knows Yoo Sanghee too, Do Sihoo’s priority is his blood relative.

“…”

Meanwhile, as soon as Do Wonwoo’s name was mentioned, Yoo Sanghoon’s face suddenly distorted and he clenched his fists.

We thought Yoo Sanghee would get too many bouquets, so the three of us decided to get her one collectively.

From how Yoo Sanghoon is holding them though, it looks like the flowers will be crushed.

‘Is his bad mood caused by Do Wonwoo?’

Do Wonwoo had never done anything unpleasant since the TC Research Institute incident.

After that, he wouldn’t have been involved with Yoo Sanghoon at all.

They may have talked a few times during the handling of the case, but now that it’s settled, there’s no reason for them to interact.

‘If he hates Do Wonwoo, shouldn’t he feel glad that the guy’s graduating?’

As for me, I’m both happy and sad about my playable characters graduating.

But it’s not like I don’t understand how refreshing it is to be away from someone I don’t like.

I had seniors that I wish graduated sooner.

“I don’t wanna graduate, waaaah!”

“Me too! Ahhhhh!”

“Let’s repeat third year!”

I heard an uproar somewhere.

Even without checking, everyone knows that it’s the Class 3-0 seniors.

Come to think of it, they’re Dokgo Miro’s fans too.

“You’ve met the graduation requirements. You can’t do that now.”

There was a senior who said something right.

“Okay, then we’ll re-enter school! We can transfer to Miro’s class!”

Then came some crazy nonsense.

Dokgo Miro said she’d stay in Class Zero, does that mean they want to enter my class?

I felt chills just imagining it.

Students from the autonomous organizations calmly sent messages with their devices, prepared to deal with the situation.

“I called Professor Im Yeonhwa. Let’s take charge until she arrives.”

“Should we call Junyeol?”

“Junyeol is probably busy writing letters. I’ll take care of it.”

Cheon Dongha was with the other students, giving instructions to the leading members to lead visitors away from the seniors.

I was impressed by how calmly he dealt with the unexpected situation even though he must’ve been busy with a hectic schedule.

‘I’m sure he couldn’t rest during the holidays.’

Cheon Dongha came to meet Eunho over the holidays.

According to Hwang Jiho, who was in his Hwang Yuho form, Cheon Dongha happily ate a New Year’s meal with Eunho.

He also said that Cheon Dongha said,

— I’m happy that my dongsaeng will go to the same school as me. It’s been a long time since I looked forward to a new semester.

As Oh Hyejung expressed in the past, TC Group had been no heaven.

Because their family environment wasn’t great, Cheon Dongha wouldn’t have had a family that could treat him warmly.

Then one day, he had a younger brother to whom he got attached, and even after he knew that his brother was of a royal lineage, he still stuck with him.

Despite his busy schedule, he took the time to spend the holiday with him, and he’s excited about his brother attending the same school.

“There are a lot of great seniors in Eungwang HIgh. I was worried since the wild ones were strong, but I guess it’ll be sorted out quickly. Euishin-ah, you got lots of flowers in your hand, are you gonna give them all to your seniors? Wait, let’s go to the ceremony first. We might be able to give them in advance.”

As Jang Namwook said, I had a lot of seniors whom I wanted to congratulate on their graduation day.

I’m relieved that they’re graduating, but I’m still giving some to the Class 3-0 sunbae-jerks.

I’ll also give some to senior members of the Newspaper Department;

Sung Siwan, who I’ve been indebted to since my admission;

And my playable characters who couldn’t graduate in PMH, like Oh Hyeji, Do Wonwoo, Yoo Sanghee, and Ji Myungsoo.

Other than them, the third-year seniors were involved in both small and big things.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Inside the graduation hall.

Among the people to whom I wanted to give flowers, I ran into Ji Myungsoo first.

Ji Myungsoo is said to have tried to run out when he heard that Class 3-0 were making a fuss.

When I said hello, Ji Myungsoo immediately asked about the situation outside.

“Congratulations on your graduation. I think you can leave that matter to Cheon Dongha sunbaenim.”

When I handed over the flowers and said so, Ji Myungsoo spoke with a face mixed with relief and disappointment.

“Yeah. Yeah, right. It’s not my job anymore. Now I feel like I’m really graduating.”

“Will you join a professional player team right after graduation?”

“I’m planning to. The team master personally gave me an attack schedule.”

After graduation, Ji Myungsoo will join a famous professional player team, Hydrangea Scent.

Baekhwa Nanman, the team master of Hydrangea Scent, liked Ji Myungsoo that she appeared at the festival.

Hearing what Ji Myungsoo said, everyone would have high expectations for Ji Myungsoo.

The future of my playable character seems promising, and I felt proud.

‘I heard that Baekhwa Nanman knows the former Hong Shaman. Did she hear about what happened at the Dragon Palace?’

Yeom Bangyeol told me about the former Shaman Hong’s friendship with Baekhwa Nanman.

If she was a traitor, she could also have something to do with that professional player team, so I couldn’t have sat idly by.

However, the former Shaman Hong was innocent and did not participate in the betrayal by her own will.

I felt relieved that

‘We could’ve been in trouble if we had to fight against one of the world’s top professional teams. I’m glad things worked out.’

Personally, I still wanted to look into the former shaman and Baekhwa Nanman’s relationship.

“The ceremony is starting soon. I’ll go now. The view’s better on the second floor, so go up there.”

As Ji Myungsoo said, the ceremony was about to start.

I saw off Ji Myungsoo and went up to the second floor.

Here, the entire Sangin Hall was clearly visible.

I could see the faces of my graduating seniors.

The graduation ceremony has begun.
