EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 805

‘He wants to do a prank that badly huh.’

During the assassination attempt on April Fool’s Day last year, Hwang Jiho lent some help in exchange for a prank.

Without that promise, the descendants and the Rabbit Clan would’ve been in much danger.

We couldn’t do a prank last year because of circumstances, so we saved it for the following year.

I can’t believe he still remembers it.

Is the old tiger envious of the young humans playing around at school?

Nevertheless, a promise is a promise and I decided to cooperate.

“It’s about the prank that this body will play. It shouldn’t end as a normal joke.”

“…”

Kim Shinrok, a professor at the school, couldn’t say anything because he is their clan’s descendant.

Instead, Jeokho spoke up.

“My son is having a hard time, Hwangho. Please take it easy.”

“You can help deal with the situation so your son won’t suffer, Jeokho.”

Seeing the chairman’s mindset and attitude, I think this year’s April Fools will be a mess.

Hwang Jiho excitedly talked about the many things he had planned, but parts of it seemed to be okay.

Among his proposed plans, there was none I particularly liked.

‘Hwang Jiho will use a lot of money and power for this, but it would make a lot of people happy.’

It’s not the first time that this old tiger will show off his money and strength, so I think it’s going to be okay.

Now that it had come to this, I had a suggestion too.

I added some things to Hwang Jiho’s ideas and he immediately agreed.

“Hahaha! I’m glad you’re motivated too, Jo Euishin. I’m proud of you for not forgetting a promise you made with yours truly.”

After deciding on the major details of the plan, everything else fell into place.

The talkative Hwang Jiho said with satisfaction,

“We’ve talked for long. Let’s all call it a day.”

Hwang Jiho spoke as if he was talking to a child.

The old man was much older, that’s true, so I decided to just listen.

I left the meeting room and saw the living room in passing, and it seemed like the descendants weren’t in bed yet

Holograms were floated all around them, all showing photos taken at the theme park.

They must’ve been telling Sanryeong stories from the trip today.

“It must be nice… I wanna go too…”

Sanryeong mumbled as he stared at the hologram.

Now that his presence is more clear, Sanryeong’s silhouette looks child-like.

He looked similar to the youngest Eun Jaeho, and it made me feel sorry for him.

I wanted to take Sanryeong on the trip, but the location made it impossible.

“Your body will blur if you veer away from Mt. Cheonik. Build up your strength if you really want to go.”

“Let’s take Sanryeong next time!”

Sanyreong has more freedom than Baekho-gun, and the only reason he couldn’t come with us is because of his strength.

Baekho-gun, who was watching silently, said cooly.

“You have a lot of things you want to do, yet you are lazy with training. I’ll increase your training intensity so you can go with them next time.”

“Ugh! I don’t wanna!”

Sanryeong expressed repulse at Baekho-gun’s suggestion.

At this rate, I don’t know how he’s going to build up his strength.

Grr.

Even the angel shook his head pityingly.

As if making an excuse, Sanryeong spoke in a crawling voice.

“Somehow, I think it’s going to be dangerous if I build up my strength, so…”

What danger is he talking about?

Does he mean he’s in danger if he duels with Baekho-gun?

But a little danger and risk during training is only natural.

If he’s afraid of minor injuries, his skills won’t improve for the rest of his life.

‘Or is there another reason?’

Sanryeong said something more, but I couldn’t figure out what he wanted to say from all the stuttering.

In the meantime, Hwang Jiho urged us to rest up, so we all quickly disbanded.

Sanryeong remained alone in the living room, staring at the photos from the theme park.

“What did you talk about in there?”

“We were going to go in, but we got occupied talking with Sanryeong about our trip!”

The descendants talked to me while I headed to the guest room.

They could’ve just talked to Sanryeong after, but the kids prioritized him.

I guess they’ve become attached to Sanryeong after all those times they fed him their cooking.

I briefly told the descendants some topics that we talked about in the separate room that they might be interested in.

The kids’ interest was in the April Fool’s Day story.

“I heard that April Fools is very fancy at Eungwang High. Class Zero had a lot of crazy stories. We really want to do something too.”

Eun Iho spoke with enthusiasm.

Our class had a dark day last year, and when I said that our class wasn’t up to much, Eun Seoho apologized.

“Euishin hyung and Hwangho-nim couldn’t do anything last year because you guys were busy saving me… I hope you have a good April Fool’s Day this year.”

“No, our class would’ve behaved even if nothing much happened.”

It was true, but the sincere Eun Seoho still apologized.

To change the atmosphere, I asked about Class 1-0’s plan this year, which elicited a young playful expression on the descendants’ faces.

“Us? We’re still talking about it, but I think it’s almost decided!”

“Right? Eunha seems to agree too, so…”

Eunho agreed?

I didn’t think Class 1-0 would let this year’s April Fool’s Day pass, but I didn’t expect Eunho to join in.

He must’ve felt that he had to participate since the class was excited and he’s the vice president.

I was wondering what in the world they were up to, and I think the kids would tell me if I asked, but I decided not to since they seemed to be excited about this surprise event.

* * *

A video was released the day before April Fool’s, garnering a huge number of views as soon as it was released.

It was a commercial for the Hwangmyeong Theme Park, starring Kwon Jein.

The contents of the advertisement were as follows;

Kwon Jein was walking inside a rough and lonely theme park that had no guests and attractions that were old and rusted.

She stopped in front of a castle at the center of the theme park, actualized her energy violin, and began to play.

Water rose from the fountains, and droplets in the form of roses spread throughout the theme park.

Then, everything started to flourish.

‘I heard that Kwon Jein composed the theme song for this one.’

The scenery changed into a cheerful atmosphere that expresses the pleasure of visiting an amusement park, and a dreamy tune that conveyed adventure and dreams.

The light and color returned to the theme park, and all the attractions changed.

When the blocks on the castle and the floors were completely replaced and the silhouettes of tiger mascots became visible from a distance, the following phrase was displayed.

[A fantasy that starts like a lie.]

After this phrase, a line of introduction to the grand opening on April 1st was displayed.

The announcement of the change of owner of the revamped theme park garnered great attention.

The public’s interest was also thanks to Kwon Jein’s performance, splendid production of the commercial, and the perfectly renovated facilities much more luxurious than those operated by Namgung C&T.

‘Kwon Jein doesn’t appear much in commercials too.’

The Lake of Eternity owes a lot to the Tiger Clan, and Kwon Jein easily accepted, saying that she was inspired by the theme park too.

While Hwang Jiho was explaining the process, he said some nonsense about making me into an advertisement model too, but I didn’t bother responding.

If he wants a high school student to promote the theme park, why doesn’t he do it himself?

Anyway, many other factors attracted people’s attention other than Kwon Jein’s appearance.

April 1st isn’t a weekend, but the reason why it was chosen as the opening day garnered a lot of attention.

‘The Tiger Clan commemorated the day the descendants were saved and met on April 1st. That’s why they chose that day.’

The opening date showed the Tiger Clan’s deep love for their descendants.

The advertisement was well received by the public for now, but it’s still uncertain if the theme park would succeed.

Many people are still traumatized by the incident at Lake Seokcheon.

But anyway, Hwang Jiho won’t be too affected if the theme park is in a deficit, but the descendants for sure want the park to be successful.

Cherry blossoms bloomed throughout Eungwang High ahead of the opening of the theme park and April Fool’s Day.

‘We can enjoy it this time.’

Still, a lot of students were wary of the flowers.

For high school students on the Korean Peninsula, cherry blossoms weren’t just flowers.

“What should I do? I’m doomed.”

Maeng Hyodon sat with his back against the window as his eyes glazed at the cherry blossoms.

Above his desk were remains of empty notes and textbooks full of formulas.

Cherry blossoms bloom in Korea during preparations for midterm exams.

The midterm exam has come.

The sophomores had to prepare earlier since they had more to study than the freshmen.

‘The midterms are in mid-April, so there’s not much time left.’

Studying two or three weeks beforehand would get normal people good grades, but it isn’t enough.

The amount of material to study isn’t to be taken lightly, and Maeng Hyodon is now watching his feet burn in the pit he put himself on.

As Class 2-0’s vice president, I knew I had a job to do.

“Anyone wants to do group study?”

Most of the kids responded.

Some of them looked relaxed, but some looked tense too.

“Jungmok-ah, how difficult is the calligraphy test? As far as I know, it’s taken by students who…”

“I’ve never taken a test.”

“You can’t write numbers 1-10 in Hanja, but you’re in level two?”

Jin Jungmok surprisingly doesn’t know a lot of Chinese characters.

Well, his alias is mostly in English, so perhaps it’s not so shocking.

Wouldn’t it be better to choose English then?

Saeum of April asked the same question.

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to take English courses?”

“I also took an English course. I think I’ll do just fine.”

Jin Jungmok says he scored more than 90 points on the English test.

His penmanship wasn’t perfect, but his word selection and grammar were perfect.

Shouldn’t he give up Chinese calligraphy classes already?

‘He’s really committed to this concept, but I think it’s recent.’

Maybe he went overseas as an ordinary player and then suddenly decided to become a martial artist for some reason.

I don’t know the details, but he might fail his calligraphy class.

I think it would be a good idea to call help from the Black Forest for private lessons.

Meanwhile, there was someone else in our class who became someone’s private tutor.

“Wooram-ah, don’t tell me this time too…”

“Yes, I studied in advance. Please ask me any questions if you have one.”

Mok Wooram prepared for Kwon Lena again this time. He chose a subject related to producing energy items, while Kwon Lena chose one related to musical performance.

Despite having different elective classes, things turned out this way.

Kwon Lena was sorry, but Mok Wooram said it was fine, saying that studying her subject would also help him as a craftsman.

‘It’s hard to prepare for April Fool’s together since a lot of them can’t be relaxed.’

Meanwhile, Hwang Jiho and I will be preparing for April Fool’s.
