EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

The first to move was Jiho Hwang.

“Red Tiger!”

Pshaw!

Jiho unleashed his powers and ran to Red Tiger.

Jiho moved, leaving a trail of gold light.

It was fast enough to be teleportation.

“What happened!”

Jiho raised Red Tiger’s upper body.

His abdomen was bleeding.

He was hiding and stopping his bleeding with Red Smoke.

It was obvious the injury was a severe one based on the pool of blood by the front gate.

‘He escaped and came here with that much of an injury?!’

Assuming by Jiho Hwang and Ho-gun Baek’s reaction, he wasn’t being chased, either.

Paaah -!

His abdomen got immersed in golden light, and the bleeding stopped.

No, it did not cure the injury, it only stopped the bleeding.

It wasn’t healing psychic skills, it was only hemostasis through Jiho’s magic.

“Are there any more injuries? Tell me where there is any anomaly, Red Tiger.”

Red Tiger was so hurt that he couldn’t even stand.

He couldn’t answer easily and only opened his mouth after taking a few deep breaths.

“I’m fine. No trace of me was left on the Pig clan’s side. So don’t worr……”

Who cares about that?!”

Jiho exclaimed in a furious voice.

Red Tiger crossed the line this time.

Red Tiger, looking up at Jiho with dazed eyes, spoke again.

“Golden Tiger, if something happens, the child…… The contract……”

Contract?

What is that?

He was talking, but he seemed out of his mind due to the injury.

And he didn’t even say a single word regarding himself or his health.

Most of the words were about a “child” over 5,000 years old, his descendant Shin-lok Kim.

‘I wish he’d just go get rest.’

Jiho seemed to think the same as he gritted his teeth.

“You’re just saying useless things now.”

Jiho laid a finger on Red Tiger’s forehead.

Golden light particles emerged from his fingertips.

Pshaw!

Red Tiger squinted his scarlet eyes as if to resist and released a red psychic wave.

However, he couldn’t hold for long and his eyes closed.

The red psychic wave Red Tiger was emitting disappeared into Jiho’s fingertips.

Whoosh……

“Sleep, you idiot.”

Jiho sighed as he supported Red Tiger’s body, limp as a rag doll.

Jiho’s fingertip that was on Red Tiger’s forehead was now scarlet.

“He got the injury after he spotted the movement of the Pig clan. It’s obvious he was caught in their trap.”

As if intending to move Red Tiger himself, Jiho wrapped Red Tiger in golden light particles and lifted him into the air.

I opened my mouth for the first time since I was watching this situation.

“Wait. What you did was first aid.”

“Yeah, I just stopped the bleeding with my power.”

Why doesn’t he treat him?

Even if Jiho does not have healing abilities, there are many other ways.

There are recovery items in this world.

“Do you not have any recovery items? I only have SR class ones but let’s use mine for the time being……”

“No use.”

Jiho interrupted my words in a bitter voice.

SR class items may not heal the entire thing, but it should be better than nothing.

“Recovery items don’t work for Red Tiger.”

“Why?”

This is new information.

“A long time ago, Shin-lok Kim, a descendant of Red Tiger, caused a terrible problem. It was an incident where he sinned and was tied onto the red pillory. As a result, Red Tiger asked the god of heavens to put one more constraint on himself to protect his descendant, and the god allowed it.”

Shin-lok Kim caused trouble?

I wondered what happened, but now the first thing to do was to heal Red Tiger.

Something suddenly popped up in my head: Red Tiger’s status window.

‘There was some status anomaly, other than the ‘Wrath of the God of Heavens.’

I opened my exclusive menu while looking at Red Tiger.

<View Red Tiger’s personal information.>

[Name] Red Tiger

[Title] Legendary Tiger clan

[Blessing] none

[Gwanglim] (deactivated)

[Status] Wrath of the God of Heaven ― Some constrictions to skills and Gwanglim, all stats and skill levels significantly reduced, Foreseen Hell ― (Loading failed), Seriously injured, fainted

“The Wrath of the God of Heaven” is the same state as Ho-gun Baek.

But Ho-gun has no restrictions on the use of recovery items in the game.

Then this “foreseen hell” state anomaly became a problem.

‘Foreseen hell……’ I don’t have a clue. ‘The ‘Loading failed’ message is the same as always. It’s difficult to release this state and use recovery items now.’

I gave up on using recovery items.

As an alternate option, skills came to mind.

“So what about using healing psychic abilities? Do you have any Original beings with healing skills in the Tiger clan?”

“There is, but it doesn’t work. ‘Foreseen Hell’ is a direct constraint by god of heaven with the consent of the Red Tiger. The skills of humans and Original clans won’t work.”

If psychic abilities don’t work, there’s only one left.

“We have to call someone who uses healing Gwanglim by borrowing power from a superior being.”

“I’m thinking about that, too. However, healing skills are rare, but healing Gwanglim is more rare. There are no identical Gwanglims in this world. Superior beings only lend their power in the form of Gwanglim, not in the form of a blessing, to one person. That doesn’t change until the person who has received the power dies or abandons the power.”

Yeah, I know that already.

Before I could say anything, Jiho’s words continued.

“It won’t be easy to get help. The only person the Hwang-myung group can contact now is a Chinese player, with the Gwanglim of ‘Yeom-jae Sinnong’, a god of agriculture, medicine, and herbs, but his contact……”

“Calm down, Jiho Hwang.”

Is he not able to figure out which players are in Eun-kwang High because he was lazy at school management?

Or maybe he couldn’t think straight because Red Tiger was severely injured right in front of his eyes.

“She’s in our school. The person who uses Panacea…… I mean, Acea’s power when using Gwanglim. I’ll contact her.”

In the game, she abandons her precious Blessing and Gwanglim powers, but now she is still an excellent player who is practicing her healing abilities.

Jiho made a completely deflated face.

He must’ve remembered who I was talking about.

“Yeah, I’m starting to remember. There was someone. The idiot was me.”

Asclepius, the god of medicine in Greek mythology.

Even in modern times, the snake staff he used is recognized as a symbol of medicine.

Asclepius had three sons and five daughters with Epione.

All eight children became gods associated with medicine.

One of those five daughters is Panacea.

‘In this world, she has lost the “Pan” part, which means “all,” and is called Acea, but she is still a god of healing.’

In our school, there was a person who had Acea’s blessing and used Acea’s power as Gwanglim.

Currently in the 3rd year of Eun-kwang High, the clerical staff in the Student Council.

“Gale of Healing” Sang-hee Yoo.

“I’m calling her now.”

“Yeah.”

I made sure it was okay to contact her, though I knew Jiho wouldn’t refuse.

I sent a message to Sang-hee Yoo on my device, and she replied shortly after.

“She wasn’t sleeping yet. She said she could come to school. I’ll send the air taxi.”

It was past midnight, but Sang-hee Yoo, who was awake, immediately agreed to come.

We wanted to avoid Sang-hee coming to the mansion and Red Tiger from going too far, so we decided to meet up at school.

“Meet where at school?”

“Eun-hui building. I’ll call the air shuttle and my secretary at the front gate. Let’s go right away.”

* * *

After Ui-shin Cho and Golden Tiger went out with the injured Red Tiger.

White Tiger and Shinsu remained in the house.

There was nothing White Tiger could do if he followed them, and he couldn’t leave the three siblings by themselves, so it was a natural thing to do.

Whimper…….

White Tiger did not move an inch in that natural situation and stared at Red Tiger’s bloodstains.

Arf, arf arf……!

Shinsu was trying to draw White Tiger’s attention.

She rubbed her head on his legs and jumped up and down, but White Tiger didn’t even glance at her.

-Arf!

Shinsu barked using holy energy.

Finally, White Tiger looked down at her.

When she got his attention, She acted cute like using holy energy never happened.

White Tiger bent down to pet her, but stopped.

“······.”

On his once tightly clenched fists, there was blood.

His skin was torn off because of how strongly he was clenching them.

* * *

Eun-hui Building, parlor.

The door opened and two people appeared.

One was the secretary who smiled like a mask I saw that day on the April Fool’s Day incident in the Chairman’s room.

The other was Sang-hee Yoo.

“Hello, senior Sang-hee Yoo. Were you about to go to bed?”

“Hello, Ui-shin. There was a lot of student council work because of the cadet exchange and the art club dispute control issues. I was going to stay up all night, so it’s okay.”

We called her out on a busy night.

Somehow that seemed worse than calling her right before she was about to go to bed.

“Sorry to bring you here when you’re so busy, senior.”

“There’s no need to be sorry. I owe you so much. I’m glad I finally got a chance to pay it back.”

Sang-hee smiled softly and looked around.

“You’re Ui-shin’s classmate, Jiho, right? Hi.”

“Hello.”

Jiho is speaking with courtesy.

I usually do see him talk ‘polite speech’ to Mr. Ham, but this felt weird on another level.

“Yeah, Jiho. Should I cure the man behind you?”

Sang-hee said, looking at Red Tiger, lying unconscious on the parlor sofa.

Ji-ho nodded.

“Yes please. I’ll be sure to make it up to you somehow.”

“No, no need for that. It’s a favor from Ui-shin and his class friend, of course I could help.”

We called her in the middle of the night asking to heal a man with severe injuries.

It was suspicious, yet she didn’t dig deep into it.

“My Gwanglim is a bit wild…… The Chairman’s room can turn into a mess. Is it okay to use it here?”

“I’ll make a barrier. This place is fine to use, thank you.”

“I’ve heard that Chairman Hwang is good at barrier skills······ guess as a relative, you are too. As a first-year, that’s really cool. Alright, let’s do it then.”

He’s not a relative, they’re the same people.

“I’ll activate the barrier right now.”

Jiho created a simple barrier without unleashing his powers.

His hair and eyes were still dark brown, but his psychic waves were golden.

Paa!

After confirming the barrier surrounding Sang-hee and Red Tiger.

Sang-hee Yoo performed her Gwanglim.

Whoosh-!

Sang-hee’s psychic waves, blowing like the wind, began to circulate around her.

The flow of psychic waves pushed Sang-hee’s long hair into the air.

The power of Acea came down on Sang-hee’s body as the Gwanglim was fully activated.

At the same time, the pressure of psychic waves turned intense, as if a storm was blowing.

‘So this is the reason why her hero nickname is “Gale of Healing.”‘

I heard Jiho burst into admiration.

“Amazing.”

Just as the wind Sang-hee produced, filled with light particles, surrounded Red Tiger,

〈Skill ‘ Power of Destiny’ has been activated.〉

I saw the Power of Destiny activation notification.

I was distracted by Red Tiger’s injury and Sang-hee’s Gwanglim.

I couldn’t respond immediately.

‘Power of Destiny NOW? Should I activate player’s trajectory? If I do, what character……’

In the end, my judgment was a little late.

“Wait!”

Jiho shouted something, but before that, Sang-hee’s wind split into two directions.

One gust headed towards Red Tiger.

The other towards me.
