Ex Rank Supporting Role's Replay in a Prestigious School

After Mok Wooram was taken away by the medical staff.

My classmates spaced out as they stared in the direction where Mok Wooram was taken.

“Lena, do you know that person?”

“No… It’s my first time seeing him.”

“I think he was looking at you, Lena.”

Is it better to reveal Mok Wooram’s identity to them?

Mok Wooram seems enthusiastic to return to school in the second semester, so we’ll meet him again one way or another.

As if he was thinking the same thing as I was, Jiho said something first.

“The guy who just fainted was Mok Wooram. He belongs to our class.”

“Eh? He’s our classmate? Oh, we should’ve said hello…”

“Are you close with him, Jiho?”

“We just know each other’s names.”

“Hmm… Can I ask how you became acquainted?”

With Saeum’s question, Jiho opened his mouth to answer with little hesitation.

Woah, woah…

Don’t tell me this guy has truly given up on hiding his identity.

I hope he doesn’t mention the Oath of the Three Knights or Hyunmoo by accident…

My worry was thankfully resolved quickly.

“I transported him here from China.”

Jiho omitted all the sensitive information.

The problem now was that his answer sounds too ridiculous.

Our classmates glanced at each other as they didn’t immediately understand what Jiho meant.

Maybe they’re thinking that Jiho’s truly a complete crazy-head.

“Ah, the newspaper department had a trip to China, right? Did you meet Wooram there?”

“Yep.”

“I heard the Class Zero seniors and the newspaper department went through various incidents as well… I guess a lot has happened indeed.”

Looks like Saeum has been in close contact with the GeumChanWangChan duo after the youth retreat incident.

I’m a little worried about the kind-hearted Saeum becoming too close to those little devils, but I won’t intervene for now since I trust that Saeum won’t be tainted by them.

“Uhm… Why did Wooram pass out?”

She must be bothered because the guy fainted as soon as they made eye contact.

“Well, he’s in a hospital so I guess he’s hurt somewhere?”

“Ah, he must’ve been unable to attend school because he was sick!”

With Saeum’s words, Lena looked convinced as well.

Though the real reason why he couldn’t attend school was that he was looking for his muse, Kwon Lena.

“Will Wooram come to school in the second semester?”

“I think so. That guy’s healthy. In other words, he’s just here in the hospital for some check-ups.”

“Ah really? Then why did he suddenly faint?”

“I think I know why, but revealing it now would be no fun. Hahahaha!”

Jiho laughed like crazy after answering Lena’s question.

Hani looked disgusted as always.

“Wooram will be admitted to the dormitory as soon as he’s discharged here. You dorm students will run to each other often soon enough.”

“Oh, really? I hope he gets assigned to the same floor as me, Hyodon, and Euishin!”

“Hmm… Sure, let’s make that happen.”

“E-eh?”

It’s now been confirmed that Wooram will be assigned to the 17th floor of the dormitory.

Saeum looked puzzled after seeing Jiho head inside the special ward with a special security card, but he quickly regained composure as if having realized something.

He must’ve recalled that Hwang Jiho was a “relative of Chairman Lee”.

“Stay back first.”

Standing in front of the golden door surrounded by his magic, Jiho warned us briefly.

While the other kids looked at the door with nervous faces, Jiho strengthened the boundary before opening the door.

Swiiish—

The door opened, but it was silent.

I expected a situation where Jiho and Yuri’s energy wave would collide like last time, but nothing happened.

“Yuri, are you there?”

Kwon Lena stood on her tiptoes and tried to peek inside.

And then…

The blinds in one corner of the room went up.

In front of the blinds was Yuri.

She was wearing plain clothes instead of hospital patient attire.

“Hey, guys! Come on in!”

Jiho’s magic was still on the floors and walls, but Yuri looked like she was in much better shape.

The atmosphere also lightened a bit seeing that she was in her plain clothes.

Above all, the energy pressure that weighed down on Yuri seems to have faded.

Has she gotten used to dealing with her light skill?

“Looks like you’re controlling it well. There’s still magic all over the room, so I guess it’s safe to remove the boundary skill now.”

Jiho disabled his boundary.

Right after that, Lena, Hani, and Saeum rushed next to Yuri.

Seeing her friends after a long time made Yuri visibly happy.

“Does this mean you’re getting discharged soon?”

“Nope, not yet! But I didn’t want to meet you in hospital clothes like last time. I got permission to wear my own clothes!”

Kim Yuri’s hospitalization was prolonged.

After seeing each other after a long while, the other kids chatted for a while as they shared the ice cream cake.

The cherry and chocolate cake was actually famous every August, so they’re lucky they managed to secure one.

The MITRON regulars, Hani and Saeum, ate very well.

“Hey, do you know what happened to Geurin? I don’t think she’s checking my messages…”

It must’ve bothered her that Geurin was not answering her messages, and both she and Daesok were not here to visit her today.

My playable character was worried about our classmates even though she was in a tough situation herself.

“We’re planning on visiting Geurin’s house today.”

“Ah… Right! Euishin, you should go too.”

“Yep, Euishin and Jiho are coming with us so there’s no need to worry! Everything’s going to be fine!”

Yuri and Saeum spoke with such bright and blinding smiles.

Before we parted ways, Yuri delivered one good news.

“I think I’ll be discharged soon. They said I’m getting better at controlling my power. I can’t wait to get out of the hospital and see Geurin, Daesok, and Hyodon again!”

“Really?”

“Let’s all hang out after Yuri gets discharged then!”

Our steps as we left the hospital room became lighter.

We spoke with Yuri without the need for Jiho’s boundary skill, and we even set plans to hang out soon.

“We should confirm it with Geurin’s schedule too…”

“Will Daesok come with us?”

“I bet he’ll go if Geurin’s going to come.”

“Can you contact Hyodon?”

The kids excitedly planned throughout our journey on the air shuttle.

“I’ll bring Maeng Hyodon.”

“Oh yeah! If Euishin’s going to pick up Hyodon, then Hyodon will surely come!”

“…Looks like you like Euishin a lot, Saeum. You also follow him around well.”

“Of course!”

After a few moments…

In front of Geurin’s house.

The air shuttle stopped by the side of the road.

We came across an unexpected person.

It’s none other than Geurin herself.

She wore her AR glasses and a hoodie.

“Geurin…! Did you come out to wait for us?”

With Lena’s question, Geurin nodded several times.

Behind Geurin were Song Daesok and Hong Gyungbok.

“I… I wanted to come to Hani myself to talk to her in person… But you guys said you were coming here, so…”

Perhaps Geurin wasn’t just stuck at home just because she was scared.

She was actually trying to build the courage to come out and talk to Hani in person.

‘I don’t want to intervene here.’

Geurin bowed her head once.

When she raised her head again, her AR glasses were in her hand.

“If that kind of thing happens again… No, I know it shouldn’t but… if it does…”

With her bare eyes, Geurin stared right at Hani.

“I’m going to fight alongside you…!”

Hani looked surprised before giving a warm smile.

“Thank you.”

It’s very rare to see Hani smiling so brightly.

“And… The thing that happened last time wasn’t your fault, Geurin. Don’t beat yourself up.”

“…Alright!”

After that, we spent some time just hanging out with Geurin.

Geurin was very happy to hear that Yuri was going to be discharged from the hospital soon.

Daesok looked like he wanted to say something, but he stayed silent.

It was a brief afternoon, but I finally felt like I have a social life.

After we all finished chatting, Hong Kyungbok gave a suggestion.

“Why don’t we all eat lunch together? I’ll treat everyone.”

At Hong Kyungbok’s suggestion, we had our lunch together at a restaurant suggested by him.

He also invited the other kids from the art department.

More than 10 members from the department showed up, but Geurin looked comfortable and even had a good conversation with everyone.

At Neuru’s Korean Headquarters.

Chief Designer Seodol’s office.

With his sudden trip to China, Seodol had to give all his concentration to finishing his work.

Those of the Rat Clan who saw Seodol tried their best to avoid him.

This was because they could sense that Seodol wanted to go somewhere.

“I’m done with all the urgent work so I’m going to go play around somewhere. I’d like three people to accompany me. You guys aren’t busy, right?”

With Seodol’s words, the people thought that the time finally came.

“Where do you wish to go?”

“The United Kingdom.”

The United Kingdom.

They thought that it was out of nowhere.

He was often in England when Kwon Jein was always there, but the Lake of Eternity team is based in Korea now.

They bowed their head humbly before questioning Seodol.

“I understand that you haven’t made much progress in your recent research.”

Seodol has been conducting research about the “annoying eye” that’s been watching over Eungwang, but he hasn’t made progress.

“I still need more data about that ‘Eye’. It’s best to wait for now.”

Seodol floated a map of the UK in a hologram.

“So while I’m waiting that out, I’m planning to hang out in England.”

“What are you planning on doing there, sir?”

“There’s something that I’m curious about so I’m going to go there to figure it out. Also maybe to play tag for a bit.”

Seodol pointed to an area where the Vow of the Three Knights team headquarters was located.

“Buy four tickets one way for now. You pick the others that you want to tag along.”

Upon receiving Seodol’s instructions, the henchman looked back at the others from the Rat Clan.

Everyone looked at him with a cat-like look.

At the dormitory, after having dinner with my classmates.

Is it because I recently stayed at a hotel abroad and the mansion?

Or maybe it’s because I spent a lot of time with my classmates today?

Maybe it’s because I was with a lot of people recently that I felt so lonely in my dormitory room.

— If you decide to stay in the mansion during the vacation, the descendants and Shinsoo would be very happy.

Although he didn’t directly say it, Jiho suggested that I stay in the mansion.

I was shaken by the thought of Olmu and the descendants, but I refused and said that I’d just visit often.

Staying at the mansion would make it difficult for me to move quietly on my own, and I won’t be able to secure much time to think alone.

— Alright. Make sure to stop by when the custom medicine is completed.

The thought of that made my willingness to visit the mansion drop sharply.

When I remembered what the medicine would taste like, my head hurt automatically.

‘I should think of something else.’

There are so many things for me to think about.

The first thing that came to mind was the event at the Cheondansu.

‘My level raised that day.’
