EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

Support Ex-Rank

“You worked hard, Soohyuk-ah.”

“No, it’s you, Hyeji noona.”

Perhaps because the two were still far away, they didn’t seem to notice Ahn Dain.

They’re both excellent players so they should’ve felt her gaze though.

Then again, they must’ve been used to having eyes on them.

Other than Ahn Dain, people were staring at the two.

Joo Soohyuk and Oh Hyeji weren’t paying attention to the eyes on them.

“…You kept coming to see me during the exam period. Did Soogyeom oppa ask you to do that?”

Oh Hyeji looked shy when he uttered the man’s name.

Does she really like him so much that the mere mention of his name makes her blush!

Joo Soogyeom may have liked Oh Hyeji too seeing that he helped break her out of their family elders’ plot and walked her to the CSAT site.

But I didn’t like Joo Soogyeom.

At that time, Joo Soohyuk said something tactless.

“No, I came because I wanted to.”

Ahn Dain’s eyes wavered a little at Joo Soohyuk’s words.

She doesn’t know about Oh Hyeji and Joo Soogyeom.

Because of Joo Soohyuk’s remark, everyone who heard him now thinks that he voluntarily visited Oh Hyeji throughout the exam period.

Joo Soohyuk looked at Oh Hyeji with a worried face.

“Soogyeom hyung said your final exam will be fine. But I still worry so…”

I shared Joo Soohyuk’s worry.

The goal of the Joo-Oh Group’s deranged elders was to have Oh Hyeji married off quickly.

That’s why they tried to interfere with her CSAT.

But there’s no need to play tricks until the final exam is over where her graduation is at stake.

If Oh Hyeji doesn’t graduate, their goal wouldn’t be accomplished.

‘If they’re crazy enough, they wouldn’t mind her not graduating high school. But even if they don’t want her going to college, having graduated from Eungwang High is something they wouldn’t want Oh Hyeji to lose.’

It’s common for players not to go to college.

It’s similar to athletes joining professional teams after graduating from high school.

“I see… Thanks, Soohyuk-ah.”

“It’s alright. I’m glad you’re alright, Hyeji noona.”

Although it wasn’t from Joo Soogyeom’s order as Oh Hyeji expected, she still smiled softly, happy to see Joo Soohyuk’s kind heart.

Joo Soohyuk smiled too, which looked a little too friendly.

To me, since I know the relationship between the two, they look more like siblings, but Ahn Dain might be seeing something different.

Ahn Dain looked sad for a moment and looked at the two.

“Heol…”

Moon Saeron exclaimed in a stuffy voice as if her throat was blocked.

My insides felt all tangled up too.

Joo Soohyuk finally discovered us and started a conversation.

“Oh, you guys are early.”

“Hi. Why are you guys out here, it’s cold. Let’s go in now.”

At that time, Yoo Sanghee, who was watching the situation from a step away, approached us.

She greeted us briefly and then talked to Oh Hyeji.

“Hyeji-ah…”

“Why?”

“Are you in a bad condition because your CSAT didn’t go well? I think you lost a bit of your tact.”

Perhaps Yoo Sanghee didn’t like seeing Ahn Dain, a hoobae from the student association, looking so sad.

Yoo Sanghee dropped a bomb using her kind words, but Oh Hyeji didn’t lose.

“Are you picking a fight with me? And, excuse me, I didn’t fail the CAT. You didn’t get a score as good as you usually get too, so maybe you’re the one who failed.”

“It’s a dispute, not a fight. I don’t like fighting with a tactless kid. It’s true that my score has fallen, but mine’s still better than yours, Hyeji-ah.”

“Gosh, you make it sound like a 20-point difference. It’s two points.”

“You said you’d get a perfect score though. You fell by a lot, Hyeji-ah.”

Oh Hyeji looked like she was holding back, but Yoo Sanghee only responded with a smile.

I thought I should stop them, but it seemed a little bit odd for a hoobae to do that.

In fact, even their classmates wouldn’t feel comfortable going between the two powerful women.

It would be easy for Yoo Sanghoon, her brother, to intervene, but the guy only watched his sister arguing with Oh Hyeji with bored eyes.

Not a slight intention of intervening from Yoo Sanghoon.

When I thought about going between them, a louder voice intervened.

“You’re in front of your juniors. Stop it.”

The two immediately went silent at Do Wonwoo’s words.

He’s quite good at stopping disputes as the former student representative who had been dealing with Class Zero for three years.

Do Wonwoo also addressed the other kids around.

“The meeting will start soon. Let’s go in now.”

At Do Wonwoo’s words, the kids began to enter the conference room and take their seats.

The meeting will be facilitated by the sophomores, so the seniors sat in separate seats instead of going to the podium.

They sat close to the freshmen, so I heard Oh Hyeji and Do Wonwoo’s conversation.

“You changed a lot.”

“What?”

“You usually would take Sanghee’s side.”

“…”

Oh Hyeji mentioned Do Wonwoo’s ugly past, but he didn’t respond.

He just sat quietly with a blunt face.

Looking at his side profile, Do Wonwoo’s jawline seemed to become more defined, but maybe he lost weight from stress because of all the trouble inside TC.

‘Hong Gyubin took his hands off the Namgung cases and focused on the TC ones. There must be a lot of pressure.’

Hong Gyubin is currently tracking the funding for the TC Research Institute’s artificial descent project.

Do Wonwoo is cooperating with the association, something that seemed to be experiencing difficulties pressing the opposition within TC.

But, like the competent playable character that he is, he seems to be doing well.

‘Hong Gyubin’s in charge of TC cases so it’ll be alright. There’s another problem I need to solve from now.’

From the perspective of a game addict who finished PMH, the most serious crisis right now was Ahn Dain’s gloomy eyes and Joo Soohyuk who doesn’t even notice it.

I don’t know if Ahn Dain misunderstood, but she doesn’t look happy.

The situation passed without any room to fix it, and it would be weird for me to assure her that Joo Soohyuk and Oh Hyeji weren’t a thing.

While I tried to think of ways to get through this crisis…

Badum!

The sound of a drum and a trumpet was heard.

From somewhere, the Parade of the Charioteers was heard.

At the same time, the door opened and Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol appeared with unidentified leaflets on their bodies.

“Year Two Class Zero president, Geum Chansol is here!”

“Year Two Class Zero vice president, Wang—”

Their rehearsed lines and the brand background music were interrupted.

Hwik!

Yeom Junyeol’s flames burned from place to place in the conference room.

Yeom Junyeol burned the Bluetooth speakers hidden in the room by remote ignition.

“I was busy preparing, I forgot about the two Chansols. You know that installing things in the Student Association Hall without permission is subject to arbitrary removal, right? Nice to see you. Take your seats.”

Yeom Junyeol spoke softly, but the flame that burned the Bluetooth speakers was fiery.

It was only after the speakers completely burned to the ground that the flame disappeared.

More than the speakers, Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol seemed to be bothered that their grand entrance was interrupted.

“Gah! We almost made it! We’re blocked again!”

“No, we succeeded. We were the last ones to enter, and the attention was all on us!”

“Are we really the last ones? The Year Three Class Zero sunbae-jerks aren’t here though? Wangchan-ah, what are we going to do!”

“Oh, I thought they were here…”

Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol failed to be the last ones to appear again.

Woo Kihwan and his Class Zero group were in school today for the final exam, but it seems like they’re skipping this meeting.

If they’re not coming, then GeumChanWangChan is the last.

They tried to negotiate victory in their minds, but Woo Kihwan and the vice president of Year Three Class Zero, a member of the traditional music club, appeared.

They were the last ones to arrive and successfully got all the attention.

“What’s with the atmosphere? Use some ventilation.”

Woo Kihwan waved his hands in front of his face, displeased by the smell of smoke.

Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol pouted like ducks and groaned.

“Gah, just graduate already!”

“You took your final exam so go home!”

Bang!

Yeom Junyeol hit the gavel.

As the heavy energy waves spread, the noisy conference room turned quiet at once.

“The fourth quarter student representative meeting will now begin.”

Yeom Junyeol’s voice followed the spread of energy waves, and everyone listened to his voice.

Although he still wasn’t as skilled as Wonwoo, he was indeed the new student representative of Eungwang High.

Progress went smoothly after his call.

Watching Yeom Junyeol lead the meeting, I could see the seniors nodding their heads with relieved faces.

‘I have to message him some compliments today.’

While choosing what words to use to praise Yeom Junyeol’s performance both as his teacher and his hoobae, the report by the student association members ended.

After that was a report from the student council, and Cheon Dongha finished it smoothly.

Heo Chaeah, president of the general club, sometimes had a shaky voice throughout her report, but there was no flaw other than that.

Happy with the performance of my playable characters, my mood suddenly fell to the ground.

“Next, we’ll have Jiikhoe’s report.”

The Gye Bastard appeared.

The longer Jiikhoe’s report went, the worse my mood became.

Why are Eungwang High’s dorm students being represented by this malicious commenter?

He learned from a great sunbae so his report was going okay, but I didn’t like him at all.

‘…I think he’s looking at Ahn Dain.’

Before he went down after his report, his eyes seemed to drift toward Ahn Dain.

He looked worried about her too.

I might’ve stabbed him in the eye if there was chivalry where my hand was pulling.

After each autonomous organization finished its reports, we began with the main agenda.

“First item of business is the selection of Eungwang High’s student ambassador.”

Eyes seemed to have drifted my way.

They were looking at me.

Even Yeom Junyeol was looking this way.

“I have a suggestion not as the student representative but as the student ambassador of this year.”

Yeom Junyeol said something unexpected.

“We currently have two student ambassadors, which is very small compared to the population of the school.”

A total of 1.500 students are enrolled at Eungwang High School.

Although the autonomous organizations represent the students, the ambassadors are also representatives.

It would be a great burden to place on two people.

I was proud of Yeom Junyeol for carrying a burden that heavy.

Yeom Junyeol floated a hologram.

“So, starting this year, we would like to select more ambassadors to help reduce the burden on those who are actively promoting the school.”

The quota shown on the hologram was four students and one teacher.
