EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

Sung Gukeon’s sleep schedule has been significantly reduced recently.

The opening of the National Assembly in September and the personnel hearing for the minister candidates has kept him busy.

Although it’s true that Sung Gukeon is a player and has better physical strength than other lawmakers, he was ambitious to promise that he’d be targeting SR-level otherworld attacks at least once a week.

He had to keep his promise.

Although he promised to go after the SR-level, Sung Geokon goes above and beyond and even targets SSR-level ones.

Sung Gukeon’s aides are all frustrated as they look at him reviewing documents even though his body was studded with injuries.

“…”

While handing over paper documents, Sung Gukeon’s hand suddenly stopped midair.

He spoke after searching for something several times on his device.

“Do you remember the incident at Gwangil Elementary School?”

“Yes, sir. It was the first case that you have investigated after being elected to position.”

“Do you know what punishment those teachers were imposed with?”

“There were many teachers involved in both big and small crimes, so we only took care of eighty percent. I remember the remaining two were fired from their positions by the time the incident cooled down, and they were sent to other regions along with a salary cut.”

Jeon Muyeong spoke in a bitter tone.

It’s not the first time that those teachers have committed a crime, it’s just the first time that they had been convicted.

They were given a slap in the wrist at best.

Many of them even escaped being disciplined.

It was difficult to gain justice under the law.

“Except for one teacher, all of the ones involved in the case retired or on absent-without-notice for different reasons.”

Sung Gukeon said to Jeon Muyeong, showing him the personnel data as he requested from the various elementary schools.

They were elementary schools in Eungwang District and in areas other than Seoul.

He knew that Sung Gukeon was preparing to file a complaint if a case reoccurs where he could legally pursue them to impose sanctions, but Jeon Muyeong was surprised to see it firsthand.

‘He’s able to monitor those teachers even while he’s already so busy.’

After Sung Gukeon uncovered all the anomalies, the teachers were dispersed to different areas.

Four years later, the incident was forgotten, almost as if it never happened.

It would be difficult to pinpoint what these teachers had in common if one didn’t know the case that happened years ago.

“Looking at the article, there seems to be a teacher who was involved in a mysterious accident.”

Sung Gukeon floated a hologram showing an article with a photo of a landfill.

The article said that the teacher was found in the middle of a landfill after showing symptoms of depression and disappearing.

“Is there any chance that it’s a coincidence?”

“There’s no way.”

“Then who could be responsible for this?”

“They’re going after a civil servant, and not just a small number of them. In order to do this in such a short period of time without being noticed, it’s impossible that a large number of professional players did this.”

Sung Gukeon felt his head ache and touched his forehead.

He doesn’t want to acknowledge it, but the only reasonable answer was obvious.

‘It’s someone of royal lineage.’

Debuting in and of itself wasn’t the difficult thing for Dokgo Miro.

Dokgo Miro is Hani’s friend and a new addition to the people being protected by the Tiger Clan.

If Hwang Jiho wishes, he can mobilize the Tiger Clan and the Hwangmyeong Group to rig the death match by raising the views on Dokgo Miro’s video.

And even if she gets eliminated on Playlist, Hwang Jiho can make his own agency and let Dokgo Miro flourish as an artist.

If she can’t work with cameras, she can be a singer who only releases music and still dominate the music charts.

‘But that’s not meaningful.’

Dokgo Miro is someone who risks herself to go after bullies.

The righteous King of the Back Alleys would never be happy with being handed a crown that she didn’t earn herself.

‘We need to help Dokgo Miro overcome her fear.’

From Red Tiger’s investigation, I found the plausible root of her camera phobia.

When I opened the photo album of the most evil-looking teacher, I found thousands of composite photos of Dokgo Miro.

With the perpetration of the evil teacher to kill the dreams of the aspiring idol, Dokgo Miro’s peers seemed to have participated in bullying her.

Dokgo Miro seemed to be instinctively scared of cameras now because she had suffered malice from them for a long time as a child.

‘To be an idol, she needs to know that cameras aren’t necessarily evil, and she can actually gain fans with the help of it.’

She needs to show a good performance in front of the camera and survive the death match challenge.

However, due to her trauma, Dokgo Miro was too good at detecting if there’s a camera recording her.

Considering that she avoided all the recording devices at the Gwangil Police Station, I know that her senses and instinct cannot be deceived if the right concealment isn’t in place.

‘Then I should use the best hiding ability and not just some cover-up tech.’

Jeon Muyeong’s “Time Without Shadow” was a light skill that can deceive not only the people of royal lineage but also the eyes of higher beings.

Unless a higher being has something related to shadows, they cannot see against Jeon Muyeong’s light skill at all.

Although, the skill duration was very short so I can’t really use it for a long time.

“As expected, you’re so amazing, Euishin! I had no idea!”

“Heol, where did you come from, vice president?”

“Where were you all this time? Did you sense him, Hani?”

“…No.”

With Min Geurin’s question, Hani shook her head with a surprised face.

Not only Hani, who has an excellent ability to detect things, but also Hwang Jiho.

Of course, Dokgo Miro had no idea where or what I was doing.

“You…”

Dokgo Miro looked at me and tried to say something, but it didn’t last long.

“Encore!”

“Isn’t this the mission song for Playlist? Sing another version!”

There were about ten other Eungwang High audiences who were enthusiastic to hear more.

“Well then, we’ll be going with an MR for the next version. Wooram and Lena, thank you!”

Dokgo Miro was puzzled as this was the first time she received support from strangers, but Yuri quickly pulled things along and Dokgo Miro had no choice but to sing again.

I used the light skill again and again.

Someone posted on the general bulletin board of Eungwang High, and soon students flew on airboards and the audience gradually increased.

Some people tried to film Dokgo Miro with their own cameras, but Hwang Jiho took care of them.

Not one student dared to confront the crazy-looking kid who laughed as he shouted, “Filming is prohibited!”

When the sing and dance version was performed, I sadly couldn’t film it because of the limited duration of the light skill.

When I sent Yuri a signal that I can’t film anymore, Yuri did an excellent job of being a host and naturally finished up the performances.

“Well then, we’ll be ending today’s performance with one last encore song.”

The audience at the front kept asking for the violin and piano version that they first performed.

“Then we’ll play the violin and piano version and…”

“Hmm, that’s a bit difficult to fulfill.”

However, Kwon Lena shook her head.

“Wooram went to the nurse’s office after the first performance because he seemed to be on the brink of fainting…”

I wondered where Mok Wooram was all this time, but it looks like he voluntarily went to the nurse’s office before he faints.

“Didn’t that kid faint last time too? What’s wrong with him?”

“Perhaps he has a chronic disease? He looked very healthy while he was carrying the luggage though.”

“I think the problem is with his mind and not his body.”

Among the kids’ opinions, Song Daesok’s last comment was the closest thing to the real answer.

In the end, the encore song had to be sung with the ballad version MR.

Every version that Dokgo Miro sang was different, but after the performances, even the students who never heard the song before already memorized every word.

The last encore performance became a sing-along.

Our classmates sang along quietly, and only Hani, who doesn’t know the right words, didn’t sing along.

Still, she watched over Dokgo Miro’s performance until the end.

Several videos were filmed, but the one that the class unanimously agreed to submit to Playlist was the first one.

Compared to the other videos, there were fewer audiences and the stage was less organized, but because of Dokgo Miro’s beautiful voice being accompanied by the violin and the piano, it was incredibly refreshing.

The day after submitting the video, Playlist immediately released a link to the video of the two contestants competing in the death match.

BJ Soybean filmed his video in the room where he usually holds his broadcast streams.

And Dokgo Miro was shown in the street with her classmates, right in front of the Eungwang High gate.

Both videos became a hot topic, but Dokgo Miro’s was the talk of the town.

Articles were even published about it.

[Did she really sing this? She sang it so well;;]

[She really sings well…]

[Fake. Autotune is so good these days LOL]

[It’s Dokgo Miro’s voice but the singing is not hers.]

[Everyone expected her to do a dance version but kekeke she suddenly sang a ballad. It’s so obvious.]

The comments initially headed in a negative direction.

People thought it was odd that Dokgo Miro suddenly showcased incredible skills.

That kind of response was inevitable given that, initially, Dokgo Miro’s only marketable asset was her being a Eungwang High student.

Some people even extracted the audio source from the video and analyzed it, saying that it was completely manipulated.

The cinematography of the video that I personally took was clumsy, but it’s real.

And witnesses who watched the real live performance appeared one after another.

[I’ve seen the performance live.]

[Dokgo Miro’s live performance was awesome… (Thumbs up)]

[I’m a student at Eungwang High, and I saw Dokgo Miro’s live busking.]

[Some crazy kid warned us not to take videos, but I was able to take a recording. I’m uploading the file that I recorded on my device.]

[I recorded one too LOL. Only Miro’s solo version was uploaded, so I’m uploading the sing-along version.]

Students of Eungwang High who watched Dokgo Miro’s performance that day posted their testimonies.

They even uploaded their ID cards and school uniform to prove that they’re real students.

The power of the testimonies given by dozens of students was strong.

Everyone believed it in the end, saying that it’s impossible to bribe that many students, or it’s impossible that dozens of kids hallucinated that day.

As a result, the first controversy of the video being manipulated became one of the factors that attracted people’s attention, and the number of views on Dokgo Miro’s video soared.

‘It’s going to surpass the video of Saint of Naejang Mountain.’

Among the video clips released by Playlist, the one with the highest number of views was the freestyle rap battle between a judge and the Saint of Naejang Mountain.

But Dokgo Miro’s death match video rose.

Dokgo Miro’s singing was perfect, but there were many other factors that attracted attention.

Everyone knew about the rumor that the classmates of Dokgo Miro, who was on the verge of being eliminated from the show, secretly prepared the busking performance for her in front of the school gate.

[The kid playing the violin here looks similar to the one in Kwon Jein’s ‘Wall of Sea’ video performance.]

[That’s an energy violin LOL! It must be right!]

[Her face isn’t clear but the performer’s height and her violin color matches the one in the Kwon Jein video.]

In the video, only Mok Wooram’s thick fingers were shown in the camera.

On the other hand, even though she had her back facing the camera, Lena was seen with her school uniform and platinum violin.

I was careful not to show my classmate’s faces in the video, but there were still people who recognized.

“It’s alright. Everyone already knows that the violinist in the video that Moon Saeron took is someone from the freshmen students. I’m the only one in our school’s string section club, so it would’ve been revealed sooner or later.”

Thankfully, Kwon Lena reacted gently.

But shortly after, Kwon Lena’s family contacted me.

[Kwon Jein] Hey, Euishin. I want to get the original version of the video where Kwon Lena appeared.

Didn’t Kwon Lena try to get the original version of Kwon Jein’s video before too?

Those two really are blood related.

And.

The day of the live broadcast where the death match results would be announced had come.
