In the first half of the game, there was an extra cast that had briefly made an

appearance before exiting after being beaten up by Soohyuk.

It was an extra cast that was rare in Eunkwang high.

He had been a nerd throughout secondary school but pretended to be a hooligan and
someone stronger than he actually was.

But due to his lax ways, he was neither this nor that.

He tried to smoke when he didn’t have a good respiratory system and threw away his
cigarettes even before he finished it, and started fights on the street but was beaten
up and had to seek Soohyuk’s help.

The extra cast’s short life in the game was the life of a loser.

Then around the end of year one.

The extra cast is influenced by the morally upright Soohyuk.

He seemed to repent on his past misdeeds and became friends with Soohyuk and
was expected to become a side role.

But an evil spirit that had been targeting Soohyuk converted the extra cast into an
enemy.

The evil spirit targeted the extra cast’s weak feelings and remaining feelings of
jealousy.

As a result, the top 7 evil spirits of sin, Invidious of jealousy possess the body of the
extra cast.

And when the extra cast was halfway into being converted as an enemy.

He had killed tens of professors and students during the battle with the evil spirit.
The only one who was still capable of moving was Soohyuk.

If Soohyuk didn’t kill the extra cast, those still alive were about to be killed as well.

Soohyuk is unable to kill the extra cast who had become his friend.

As soohyuk hesitates and puts down his sword, the extra cast uses his remaining
strength to regain control of his consciousness over himself.

[Joo Soohyuk you idiot, if you don’t kill me now I will kill you first! So please…]

Those words were the final will of the extra cast.

Soohyuck yields his two swords for his friend’s final bravery.

After he kills his friend, Soohyuk’s reputation and mental break down completely.

The player association and his family defended him continuously.

But due to the interference of the evil clan, there were no remaining records of the
extra cast’s final will.

Soohyuck was labeled as a heartless killer that killed his classmate who had regained
consciousness.

Thankfully due to the survivors witnessing for Soohyuk, he was not punished. But
the Hwangmyeong corporation categorizes him as a dangerous person.

As he reaches his second year, it is decided that he is to join class zero.

Hwang Myeong Ho Chairman finds Soohyuk entertaining and sends his alter ego to
observe him.

That alter ego was Hwang Ji Ho that was just in class 1-0.

“Eushin, how did you recognize me?’”

“Student Eushin, how did you recognize me?”

We arrived at the Chairman’s office in the main central building after taking an air
shuttle from the freshman building.

They… no he seemed to have no intention to hide his true form the moment we
arrived.

[Explanation]

The yellow tiger that appears in the legendary myth.

Blessed with the power to ‘exist anywhere’

As long as it is the land of god he shall exist wherever he wishes.

He has locked up the white tiger voluntarily; he is one allowed by God.

To summarise, he had the ability to create an alter ego.

Since any royal lineage member had the ability to change their age and appearance,
the yellow tiger was capable of creating as many alter egos as he pleased.

“…will only one of you speak, please?”

Seeing the yellow tiger speak in both his sixties and teens form gave me a headache.

The royal lineage who had minimal interference with humans had an extra identity
or two provided by the government.

The yellow tiger must have requested for an identity of a student so that he could
enroll himself whenever he pleased.

“Then I’ll speak since I’m easier to talk to.”

“Both of you are not easy to talk to.”

“HAHAHA, I like this side of you better than the rigid and tensed up version of you
from before. So are you not going to tell me how you found out?”

His tone sounded more like blackmail.

Hwang Myeong ho

Hwang Jiho

Hwang Ho ( Yellow tiger)

If you took the yellow tiger’s character into consideration the names were not
surprising.

Then I came up with an idea to use as an excuse.

“It’s not fun if I tell you myself.”

To keep a secret from the yellow tiger this was the best possible reply.
As expected the yellow tiger’s eyes lit up brightly and he nodded.

“Then I will find out on my own.”

The yellow tiger was a very simple man.

“But when I’m in this form, talk to me informally. If I am found out because of you…
I’m too fond of you to kill you so what should I do?”

The yellow tiger was simple but ruthless and fierce.

“Fine.”

I immediately adopted an informal tone.

The yellow tiger smiled as if he was making a joke but I knew too well that he wasn’t.

“It might be a good thing.’

If I had easy access to the yellow tiger it would make things easier to execute from
now.

It was a hassle to visit the main central building every time I had reason to.

And it would also seem weird to onlookers for a freshman and the chairman to meet
so regularly

“How timely. I had a favor to ask you.”

“You want to strike another deal?”

I affirmed since he wasn’t wrong.

“Yes. There is a professor from Eunkwang high involved in both the ‘incident of the
evil spirit trespassing the entrance exam” and the “disappearance of Saeum of April.”

I had hoped that he would have been unveiled from the dream auction but perhaps
by luck, he had remained unscathed as I saw his name in the class timetables.

That professor’s name was also not found on the dream list as well.
“So what.”

The chairman is not doing his job.

The yellow tiger seemed to not care how things were being operated in the school.

‘I don’t understand why he would want to stay in the role of the chairman if he can’t
be bothered.’

His title was the guardian of the celestial territory.

That territory was Eunkwang district in Seoul.

The celestial territory mentioned in the myth of Gaecheon, where the sky opened
and the gods came down and fulfilled the wishes of the celestial beasts was the
Eunkwang district.

‘So why was he not doing his job.’

To say ‘so what’ when a bear tribe member was making a ruckus in Eunkwang high.

If he was going to be so unbothered why had he named himself the guardian of the
celestial territory?

It seemed it would be too much to expect the chairman to do his job.

So I decided to speak up on my end of the deal first.

“I need the financial records of the professor and the list of eunkwang high’s
specially admitted students.”

“Fine. Then how will you repay me…”

I shook my head.

“You’re not the one I want to make a deal with.”

“Huh?”

“The one I want to make a deal with is the red tiger. I want to inform the red tiger of
that professor’s name in return for the financial records of the professor and the list
of eunkwang high’s specially admitted students.”

The yellow tiger did not reply immediately.

In the pleasant looking Hwang Ji Ho there was a faint hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Even though he was the same age and wearing the same uniform as me it was hard
to tell his age.

“You know ‘us’ well.”

Of course, I had observed them through the screen for ten years.

I knew them well.

‘Although I still found them hard to understand.’

The yellow tiger was momentarily deep in thought before looking at me.

He must be anticipating something fun to happen.

He seemed like he would inform the red tiger without asking for anything in return.

“Fine. I will inform the red tiger. The red tiger is currently somewhere unreachable
due to personal reasons. So it may take some time.”

He took the bait.

I had been initially worried that he would try to strike a deal to pass this information
to the red tiger as well.

My mistake in the classroom today had in turn worked in my favor.

***

After my consultation with the yellow tiger, before returning to the dormitory.

I stopped by somewhere else.

The school campus included a 156m tall mountain.

The name of the mountain was Cheon Ak San.

It was named as the mountain looked like it was reaching for the sky with wings
spread out from the top.

The dormitories were located at the bottom of the mountain. So there were
occasional appearances of wild animals at the dormitory gates.

The Eunkwang high protection barrier worked against enemies and the royal
lineage, it protected against those that were not recorded in the school database so
they were unable to stop wild animals.

‘There was a pre quest to eliminate the wild animals that trespassed into the
dormitories…”

A wild boar was not an enemy of this world and the rewards were little so it was a
quest no one bothered to do.

‘Now let’s go look for them.’

I ran and looked around the parameters between the mountain and the dormitory
areas.

What I found was the title heroine’s dog ‘cotton wool’.

“Where are you, cotton wool.”

In the first half of the fullmago storyline.

Andain raised a limping stray dog.

Andain named the dog cotton wool as it was fluffy and lovely. Then raised the dog in
the mountain area after seeking the approval of the dormitory security
administration team.

‘Pets were prohibited in the dormitories so she had to raise the dog in the mountain
area.’
But during the first semester of the first year.

Cotton wool dies after those jealous of Andain feeds it bread mixed with pesticide.

Andain cries out loud as she buries cotton wool in the ground.

Joo Soohyuk, seeing this, investigates the incident and finds the culprits on his own.

‘The process of finding the culprits was a part of the game. It was Soohyuk’s personal
quest. It was nice until the scene where he caught the culprits and handed them to
Andain.”

The culprits denied and refused to admit initially.

But once they were shown the evidence, they made up excuses saying they did feed it
pesticides but did not know it would kill the dog.

To make things worse they adopted a victim mindset and said Andain was the
harasser for bullying them over one dead dog.

‘They were shallow trash that aimed at Anadin instead of Soohyuk even though they
were both first in class. Because he was the son of a conglomerate while she was not.’

The professor that investigates this case punishes Andain for bullying her friends
over a ‘simple prank’ from her friends.

Soohyuk involves himself actively so she doesn’t receive punishment and neither do
the culprits.

The angry Soohyuk tried to punish the culprits by using his family’s power but
Andain stops him, worried that it might cause him trouble.

‘This was the first insight into a typical hellish school system method of dealing with
internal incidents.’

Reality seemed like a gutter because whenever there was an incident in school it was
resolved in such a shitty manner.

‘Andain was not lucky.’

There were many good students and professors in Eunkwang high.

But that professor she had encountered was the worst of them all.

The culprits were those that had entered Eunkwang high with bribery and the
professor had received bribes from the culprit’s parents.

Joo Soohyuk and Andain were naive to believe that every student and professor were
fair and justified.

The two were both geniuses but they were naive and innocent to the real workings
of the world.

‘In the storyline, I’m sure it wouldn’t make much of a difference whether cotton wool
died or not… ’

I did not want to see cotton wool die.

Nor the main heroine crying.

I had been searching the area and saw on my watch that it was already 6 pm.

The sunset around 6:30 pm at the beginning of March.

I’m sure cotton wool wouldn’t move around in the dark.

I muttered to myself to call off the search for today.

“Cotton wool, I hope I see you tomorrow.”

I needed to return to the dormitory area and head to the Jiikhall cafeteria to ear my
dinner, unpack, tidy up, but I think I will give the freshman orientation a miss…

I was planning ahead for the days to come when…

‘What is this.’

I felt a flying presence above and looked up.

At the end of my gaze, there was a white tiger looking down at me.
“White tiger…!”

There were several old vending machines along the path.

On top of it stood the white tiger.

It had the sunset to it’s back which dyed the white tiger with a shade of red.

I stared at the hair of the white tiger that was reflecting the sunset.

Whenever the white tiger appeared in front of people he disguised himself to look
similar to an Asian. So I had never seen his white hair in the game.

Rustle

The white tiger jumped down from the vending machine once our eyes met.

His landing was as light as a feather.

The white tiger’s hair had turned black once his feet touched the ground.

He now looked similar to the appearance I was used to in the playable cards.

‘Why.’

The white tiger was glaring at me.

Like that time when we crossed paths after the ‘nameless supporting role tutorial’
was cleared.

‘Why was he acting like that.’

Even in my world, a tiger had the ability to entrance a person’s gaze.

Of all the tigers it was the white tiger’s gaze.

It was hard to breathe or move.

I needed a conversation starter.

Let’s try to talk to him.

“What are you looking at.”

Oh, oh no this wasn’t right.

I’m doomed.

Why was I speaking so out of control today?

And whilst speaking to the royal lineage.

I shouldn’t; have done such a thing, but what was the point of regretting when the
cat was out of the bag.

It felt like it was too late.

I’m doomed for sure.

I was holding on tightly to my sanity and tried to mutter the words please stop
looking at me.

When I noticed…

‘Was he actually smiling…?’

The white tiger had a hint of a smile hanging from his face.

Was he smiling or was he angry?

While I was confused the white tiger erased the smile from his face.

Whoosh.

With the sound of the win, the white tiger was gone instantly.

He must have used his skills to fly somewhere.

I definitely did not intend to chase after him.

‘I feel like a storm just went by in my head.’

The white tiger of this world was weird.

The fact that he had appeared at ‘nameless supporting role tutorial.’

ANd the fact that he had shown up in front of me Jo Eushin, a first-year student in
Eunkwang high.

‘It bothers me.’

He was my longest used playable character and my final character in my final battle.

It was natural for it to bother me.

‘But it’s not any of my business for now.’

The white tiger was not a character that caused harm to others.

Excluding the final round, there were no other events that could cause him to die.

I decided to save observing the white tiger for another day.

All the best, future me.

***

There were five large buildings near the dormitory areas.

There were three 20 floored dormitories that accommodate 30 students per floor.

Including the staff dormitories that added up to four.

Then there was the main central dormitory facility building called Jiik hall. That
added up to five.

In Jiik hall, the main central dormitory facility building, there was a cafeteria, mini-
store, study room, seminar room, self-study room, simulation room, and the gym.

The dormitories were built to accommodate the entire school population but the
percentage of day boarders was 50% so it was fairly empty.

Since the space for each user had been doubled.

Even though the dormitories were 2 to one room, everyone was allocated to one
room unless requested otherwise.

As a result, I used the two-person room on the 17th floor of the freshman
dormitories all alone.

‘It was a few times bigger than where I had been living until late.’

The interior imitated a small apartment.

There were two bedrooms, a shared living room, a kitchen, a shower, and even a
balcony.

I unpacked my stuff and cleaned the apartment with an AI robot cleaner and an air
purifier.

‘I’ll wash up and go to sleep early.’

I didn’t have anything to do.

Then I suddenly recalled Namwook being curious about Eunkwang high’s

dormitories.

I took a few photos of the dorm with my wearable device and sent it to the group
chat.

[Namwook] Wow your dorm is nice. Two rooms, a living room, and a kitchen
attached. Is that a shower room, are you using a two person’s room alone?

[Sanghoon] Can I come over to visit?

[Me] Yes it’s a shower room. I’m using it alone. You can visit before 8 pm.

[Namwook] Can outsiders come and visit? I can come over on weekends

[Me] no no it’s against dorm regulations.

[Namook] What a shame ㅠㅠ

[Sanghoon] Transfer

At this point, I couldn’t tell if Sanghoon still wanted Namwook to join Eunkwang high
or he was just teasing him.

And Namwook, it’s not cute for a guy bigger than me to use ㅠㅠ.

I was contemplating on how to tease Namwook when.

<Skill ‘fate’ has been activated.>

I stood up from my seat at the alarm notification that sounded with no preamp.

I closed all other apps the hologram was showing from the wearable device and used
my esteemed ability.

<Esteemed ability, ‘player identity’ is being used.>

Thousands of cards started to spin around me.

With the player identity ability being activated, it would be able to handle most
situations.

‘The skill fate was beyond imagination so I couldn’t anticipate what was going to
happen.

If it was a short battle, ‘Hundred second Kwak Gyeogn Gu’s 100-second silver bullet’
was the most useful to use.

If I had to move fast I could use the ‘light in the darkness Oh Hyeji’s moon in the sky.’

No, today the moon was blocked by the clouds.

Then I can use ‘Majinsung the noble in the field’s esteemed ability… ’

In my head, I was going through the events at the dormitory in the game storyline
and was trying to decide what was the best character card to use in this situation.
One of the cards that had been spinning around me suddenly disappeared out
through the window and was beyond my control.

I opened my balcony window and stretched out my arm.

‘The playable character shown on the card… ’

Before I could see the character on the card my focus was redirected to what was
above me.

It was a person falling from the roof of the dormitory roof.

A player’s physical body and mind excel as compared to a normal human being.

Their ability to access an emergency was faster as well.

My head started to react immediately as soon as I saw the person falling from the
rooftop of the dormitory.

My room was on the 17th floor.

The place the person was falling from was from the 20th floor, the rooftop.

Taking into consideration the height of the building, the person would be falling
approximately 10 to 15 meters above me.

I was unable to confirm the weight of the falling person, so unable to calculate the
exact energy location.

But it was around that height.

For a normal person, the impact would result in a fatality.

The question was, whether I would be able to prevent the fall with my current
strength and skill level.

There was a high possibility of me sustaining a serious injury or losing grip over the
falling person.

‘I have to use my esteemed ability.’

But there were CCTVs installed on the external walls of the dormitories.

It would be problematic to reveal my ability to change my esteemed ability and outer

appearance when and wherever I wanted.

Then let’s use an esteemed ability that won’t affect my outer appearance.
In the worst-case scenario, I might fail and expose the player information but I
couldn’t simply watch someone die right in front of my eyes.

‘White tiger… ’

The first character that came to mind was my most used playable character and the
person I had met just a few hours ago.

He was of the tiger lineage and had the strength to use a large sword so I was
confident his strength would be sufficient.

But the usage time of the white tiger from the final battle was too short to use.

But if it was the normal version with the celestial’s wrath debuff then there were no
problems using it.

‘Let’s command the strength of the white tiger to be transferred to my body. I will
store strength within me as a contained image instead of letting it take over my
body……!’

I wasn’t sure if this would work but I had to try.

It was the first attempt but I had to succeed.

I placed my entire focus on manifesting the player information as an image from

inside me.

Fwahhh-

Just as the white tiger’s card turned into light and enveloped me, I spread out my
arms to the falling person.

I felt the weight in my hands but with the strength of the white tiger within me, I was
able to securely hold out the weight of the person.

And I was still in the form of my 17 years old Jo Eushin self.

‘I succeeded, my appearance didn’t change!’

Before my hand slipped I titled my body inward and landed safely in my balcony.
“Ah… ahhhhhh!”

“Someone fell! A person, a person fell!”

It seemed like there were several people who had seen the person falling from their
window.

There were screams heard from the floors above and the sound of people talking.

I looked down at the person who was in my arms.

It was a playable character.

A character I had spoken to just a while ago.

[Explanation]

The person who had fallen was Lee Lena who I had met during the dream auction.

The child who had shared her words of advice to get me, who looked like Yeom
Junyeol then, out of that place.

‘Lee Lena… ’

I turned off the player information status and soon the cards lost their light and
returned to me one by one.

The card that had flown out the window due to the activation of fate.

Lee Lena’s character card was the last to disappear.

***

The first point of contact after an incident in the dorms was the Jiik Hall.

It was the discipline facility in charge of the students in the dormitories.

The facility management was done by each dormitory administrative team but
conflict management between students in the dormitories, regulation of rules, and
student points management were done by the Jiik committee.

In the past, they used to have discipline leaders in Eunkwang high.

However, the selection had been untransparent and dictated by the board to work in
their favor, resulting in a problem.

Those that didn’t qualify to be a player had social connections to back them up but
they were not qualified.

And they had a strong inferiority complex against the nation’s most elite players.

The discipline leaders enjoyed using their power and authority to feel superior and
cause pain to the elite Eunkwang high student.

‘There were even a few incidents mentioned in the game.’

‘Entire third years receive mass detention a day before their final exams.’

‘Rape case in Jiik hall’s practical room’

‘Student punished publicly in Jiik hall student cafeteria’

And so forth.

After a series of accusations and being sued, the discipline leaders were brought to
court but managed to avoid jail imprisonment and being sacked. They got away with
merely a fine.

The discipline leaders and the board members of the school had colluded to
embezzle the school’s dormitory fees, maintenance fees, and other various fees that
exceeded millions.

The discipline leads, with the support of the board, harassed the students even more
shamelessly.

‘Then the issue was only resolved 15 years ago when a student president was
elected.’

15 years ago, there was a riot led by the student president to kick out the discipline
leads due to their misconduct and acts of corruption.

They started the petition and movement to have them resign, fired, or retired.

Students that were on sabbatical, hospitalized, or even on overseas exchange sent

their signatures via mail to support the movement.

The petition movement garnered extensive support and managed to obtain the
entire student population’s signature and made history, but even so, the board of
directors acted brazenly.

‘That students who merely attended the school for three years before graduation and
moving on, had no right to interfere with the school’s management. And that all
students should be taught a lesson to know how to respect others and adopt some
manners.’

‘This led to a bigger situation,’

As the entire student population’s petition movement failed the teaching staff also
steeped in to support.

The students and staff of Eunkwang high refused to take part in lessons and held a
silent demonstration in front of the school’s main central building.

The student council recorded the process and evidence of their case in the form of a
video.

Then they published the video of various sites after adding 38 different language
subtitles as an option. Then they actively participated in interviews with the press to
reveal the situation publicly.

The first-ever scandalous situation form Korea’s most elite player specialized high
was at the center of attention. Internationally and regionally.

Eventually, Chairman Hwang, who had been absent from his seat for a long time
returned and took the side of the students. Instantly resolving the situation.

As a result, the embezzlement, negligence was exposed publicly and the five board of
directors were dismissed and the entire group of discipline leads became jobless.
After which their other crimes were exposed and they served a prison sentence.

Through this process, the self-run student facility committee ‘jiik committee’ was
formed.’

The Jiik committee consisting of the student union, leading committee, the entire
club, and society groups established itself as the largest student committee in the
school.

And the person who flew to my balcony on a manually operated air board was the
head of the Jiik committee, Sung Siwan, a third-year in Eunkwang high.

‘Someone must have alerted the Jiik committee.’

Based on the CCTVs on the external wall, they would have figured out which room
this was.

And in the case of emergencies, the head of the student committee was issued a
manual airboard and its license, hence Sung Siwan had been able to fly over here.
Even so, to reach in 2 minutes, he was way too fast.

“I came after watching the CCTV, are you okay?”

Sung Siwan must have rushed here.

Maybe he had just gotten out of the shower, as his hair was dripping with water and
his shirt was on the wrong way.

His hair that had been blown by the cold night air of March, was slightly frosted.

“I am fine, but the kid that fell has fainted.”

“Ok… can I come in?”

“Sure.”

Siwan left his airboard and shoes on the balcony and came into the room where Lena
was lying on the couch.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion outside.

The freshman dorm consisted of 20 floors.

From the 1st to the 10th floor were for females.

While from the 11th to the 20th floor was for males.

Right now where we were, was the 17th floor.

It will stand out if Lee Lena stayed here.

“It seems like she’s injured. So she won’t need a recovery item.”

Siwan sighed in relief and put the recovery item card back into his pocket.

“Eushin, I’m sorry… but can we say that it was a joke done by class zero.”

“What?”
“Both you and Lena are from class zero. To say that it was me who pulled a joke, it
doesn’t make any sense, but if it causes any trouble I’ll be answerable for it. I’m so
sorry to ask this of you… when you saved Lena.”

Siwan bowed his head to me.

I was surprised that Siwan bowed his head to a first-year without hesitation, and
that he knew my name.

‘Could he have possibly memorized the names of all the students in the
dormitories?”

But what was more shocking was the fact that Lena was in class zero.

Because in the game she was not in class zero.

‘For now, it wouldn’t be bad to pass it off as a prank.’

To be involved in a suicide attempt.

To be involved in a prank.

It was obviously better to be associated with the latter.

Until we could hear the details from Lena herself, it was best to leave this incident
undisclosed.

As I nodded my head, Siwan looked apologetic and relieved at the same time.

Then he headed over to the balcony and shouted loudly.

“Go back to your dormitories, it was just a prank by the class zero students.”

Then the common stopped momentarily before the gossip started.

“Hey, the Jiik committee head is here. He says go back in!”

“Class zero, what a classic. Seriously on the first day of school.”

“Class zero take it easy, man. Today is the first day of school.”
“Were they training their skills?”

“Maybe they were prepping for April fools. I thought someone was falling for real.”

The many open windows of the freshman building started to close and soon it was
quiet.

I was speechless by how fast the situation resolved.

“We briefed them during the freshman orientation on the past incidents and how it
was handled… 4 out of the 5 examples were caused by the previous class zero
student.”

The past class zero students were too much.

Just what had these students done before.

No, as I recalled the game and the class zero students doings, I could totally relate
why they reacted that way.

They changed the entire contents of the school’s water tank with coffee milk.

Or building a large ice castle in the fountain found in the school’s premises.

Or planting numerous explosives in a building identified to be demolished.

And so on.

I was suddenly interested to know what the five chosen examples were.

Maybe I should have gone for the freshman orientation.

While I was going through these chains of thought, Siwan was on a call using his
wearable device.

“Professor Ham Geun Hyeong, This is Sian. Oh… you heard it from the staff
dormitories as well? It’s true but she was saved halfway, there are no casualties…
yes, from class zero… sorry? Yes both of them are from class zero. Lee Lean and Jo
Eushin. Yes. We will be there soon.”
Siwan must have contacted the form teacher of class zero.

I could only hear Siwan’s side of the conversation but I could roughly guess what
Ham Geun Heyong was saying.

“Seems like we’re going to have to go and see professor Ham. Let’s leave through the
balcony. If I use the expansion mode it can change to fit 4 passengers.”

Siwan was modifying the airboard he had left on the airboard.

Meanwhile, I put the blanket he had passed me over Lena.

‘…she’s lost a lot of weight.’

Lena looked much thinner as compared to the last time I had seen her at the dream
auction.

Her small and pale face was pitiful to look at.

I covered Lena up tightly so that she couldn’t be seen and so that she could sleep
warm from the cold night wind.

“We’re setting off.”

Siwan turned on the engine once he checked that Lena and I were boarded.

Siwan drove the airboard extremely slowly in consideration for Lena.

“Do things like this happen often?”

“Huh?”

“You just seem very used to it.”

Siwan had looked shocked when he had first reached my room.

But he had with him the recovery item, a blanket.

Contacted the form teacher immediately and we were on the way to meet him.
His level of readiness and movement made him appear as someone familiar with
these kinds of scenarios.

“There are suicide cases in elite high schools or colleges every year. Especially in our
school where there are only players. Because before this we were the top 15% who
were treated specially.”

Siwan avoided answering me with a direct response.

“But when you put all the players together, they are no longer special anymore. So
there are a few cases where the students are not able to accept that.”

Siwan stopped talking momentarily and looked at Lena who was in my arms.

“But I’m sure Lena who just started her first day of school has a different reason.”

While listening to Siwan, the airboard had arrived at the staff dormitory building.

As we were walking to the teachers’ lounge to meet Ham Geun Heyong Lena
regained consciousness.
Lena opened her unusually large eyes and blinked.

I spoke to Lena as her eyes were open.

“Are you okay?”

I who was holding Lena in my arms, and Siwan who was opening the teacher’s
lounge ahead of me, silently stared at Lena.

“Ah…”

Suddenly Lean’s face turned blue.

Seeing her face I instinctively knew.

Lena had really intended to die.

“Come in.”

Ham Geun Hyeong placed the towel over his head on a table and signaled for us to
come in.

He should have been able to dry himself in three minutes if he used the whole body
dryer provided in the shower room.

Perhaps Ham Geun Heyong didn’t want to make us wait and came here ahead of us
with only a towel in hand.

Plop.

I placed Lena down on the couch opposite Ham Geun Hyeong still covered in the
blanked.

Ham Geun Heyong looked between Lean and me before turning to Siwan.
“I told the students in the dormitories that it was a prank by Class zero… would it be
better to discuss in detail another time?”

“Yes. You should dry your hair before you catch a cold.”

“I’m okay… oh, thank you.”

Ham Geun Hyeong threw the towel towards Siwan after noticing his frosted hair.

I thought it would be best for me to leave.

I bowed and greeted Ham Geun Hyeong goodbye.

“I’ll make a move first. Goodbye.”

“Be careful on your way back, Jo Eushin. Let’s talk more tomorrow.”

Just as Siwan and I were about to leave.

Lena stretched out her hand from behind the blanket and grabbed a hold of me.

“Oh?”

A weak arm with visibly protruding bones was feebly holding on to the ends of my
uniform shirt.

“…oh, sorry.”

Lena hesitated before letting go.

Lena seemed frightened by something.

“Perhaps…”

I tried to picture myself from her point of view.

Her parents.

The dream auction.

By looking back I could somehow guess what she was afraid of.

“…perhaps she is afraid of adults?”

Ham Geun Hyeong was a rather unpleasant looking man in his late thirties.

Siwan who was in his third year but held the demeanor that suited his title as the
head of the Jiik committee.

And there was me who was a freshman, with a medium build and still in my uniform.

To Lena, I was probably the one she felt most comfortable with.

It would be better if I stayed.

“Professor Ham Geun Hyeong, would it be alright if I left a little later.”

“…sure.”

Siwan, who had been observing us, leaned on a wall nearby and started to towel dry
his hair.

He must have no intention of leaving his dormitory students here unattended.

I sat in the seat next to Lena.

As I sat down, Lena spread out her hand and held onto the end of my shirt again.

Perhaps this was a subconscious behavior.

‘Maybe it would be better for me to speak instead of Ham Geun Hyeong.’

I signaled to Ham Geun Hyeong with my gaze and he sensing my intention nodded
his head.

“Can I ask what happened?… Or do you want to go back and rest for today?

If we forced her to speak it would probably backfire.

I tried to make her feel reassured and asked cautiously.

‘Let’s wait.’

For a while, Lena didn’t say anything.

But none of us pressed her to speak up.

We tried to keep our gazes elsewhere so as not to pressure her and waited
relentlessly.

“My parents were banned for life from the player’s association today…”

So it was something to do with her parents.

Ham Geun Hyeong covered his mouth to hide his expression.

“Then they told me it was all my fault, and I should never have been born.”

Tears started to well in Lena’s eyes.

“It felt like it was all my fault, and I thought I didn’t deserve to… live.”

Lena’s words started to break off.

And towards the end, we could only hear the sound of her cries.

She cried until she exhausted herself to sleep.

After which we left her in the care of the freshman female student guidance
counselor and left the staff dormitory.

Easing Lena’s slender hands from my shirt felt harder than destroying the entire
dream auction.

Siwan returned ahead to report the incident to the Jiik committee.

Only Ham Geun Hyeong and I were left behind.

Ham Geun Hyeong escorted me to the freshman dormitory on behalf of Siwan.

“It’s the dream gate, isn’t it?

Ham Geun Hyeong stopped walking and looked down towards me.

“Those that were recently banned for life by the player’s association were players
involved with the dream gate.”

Lena was not allocated to class zero in the game version I was aware of.

Her sudden allocation must be due to the dream gate.

Ham Geun Hyeong answer with a rather tensed up voice.

“Lee Lena did not have the mark of the cidelentium coin in her hand left by the red
cliff thief on all the participants of the auction. She cooperated as a witness to the
police and the association. But her parents were rather heavily involved so she was
allocated to class zero.”

The dream gate was currently the biggest scandal in the world of players.

If this was publicly exposed, Lena who herself had committed no wrong doings,
would bear the crimes of her parents.

I could guess what Ham Geun Hyeong was worried about.

“I know Lena is innocent.”

“…yes.”

Ham Geun Hyeong looked relieved at my answer and smiled for the first time today.

“You save Lena today, Jo Eushin.”

The fierce-looking Ham Geun Hyeong looked like an ordinary professor as he smiled
and encouraged his student.

“If Lena had fallen to the first floor and survived she would have experienced pain
that would have killed a normal person… and Lena would have thought that she
deserved that as her punishment since she believes she doesn’t deserve to live right
now.”

Ham Geun Hyeong lightly patted my back.

“Well done, Eushin.”

By the time I had returned to my room after receiving Ham Geun Hyeong’s farewell,
it was already late into the night.

I was headed towards the shower to get ready to go to sleep.

When I spotted something shining from the corner of the living room.

‘This… ’

It was the golden ribbon that Lena had worn.

I wonder when it had fallen off.

I lifted the ribbon carefully, so as not to wrinkle it.

The ribbon that had been left unattended for a long time was ice cold.

‘Lee Lena’s parents…… ’

One more item was added to my list of to-dos.

I was easily able to come up with my next move.

***

I ran around Cheon Ak San as my morning training and also to keep a lookout for
signs of cotton wool.

It was just a manner of speech to say run, as my actual speed while I moved through
the hiking tracks, was much faster than a normal person bolting.

Perhaps the cold weather was keeping everyone indoors.

‘I’m the only one on the hiking track.’

As I reached a slightly elevated area I could see from afar the dormitory students
lining up for their selected ‘Eunkwang training course.’
There was a player training curriculum in Eunkwang high.

But it was optional for the students.

There were students who preferred the freedom to determine their own pace and
time to study.

But there were also students who preferred a routine lifestyle and needed others to
strategize ahead.

Eunkwang catered to both types of students and gave them to choose either of them.

Being time-bound would limit my movements so I chose the option of a free

curriculum.

‘It would be best to train myself physical skill to move about easily.’

When I first joined this world my overall skill was Lv.10.

3 months since then I was now an Lv.13.

The average level of most freshman was between 10 and 20, since now was the
beginning of the semester, my physical skill was probably around the middle
amongst the freshmen.

Based on the Player information’s special selection, my physical training was the
lowest-ranked.

Because the esteemed ability allowed me to increase my overall skill based on the
character I selected.

There was no need to be so hung up on one’s level. When the overall skill level rose it
placed a limit to one’s feeling of damage.

‘But it’ll be good to expand on my lung capacity, just in case.’

As compared to others my esteemed ability was rather heterogeneous.

I had accomplished mastering the skill of control and used the selected character’s
power without affecting my appearance.
Even so, I wanted to avoid using the player information in front of others as much as
possible.

‘I bet Yoo Sanghoon would tease me for at least ten years if he ever found out that I
was the red cliff thief.’

The title that made me cringe.

I had to stop anyone from ever finding out that was me.

The above was the biggest reason.

‘I’m rather curious about the reporter who came up with that title.’

If possible I wanted to return him the favor by coming up with an equally

embarrassing title for him.

‘Cotton wool, where are you.’

This morning’s search for cotton wool was another failure.

The alarm from my wearable device went off as my allocated training time came to
an end.

I returned to the dormitory to prepare myself to go to school.

Lessons started at 9 am.

The morning assembly was at 8:30 am

The time I arrived in the first year’s class zero was 8 am.

There was one other in the classroom.

“Hello.”

Kim Yuri, one of the playable characters greeted me first.

“Oh, hello.”
As I replied to her greeting Yuri stood up from her seat and came over toward me.

Yuri was much taller than other female students of her age.

Her straight posture and way of walking made her seem resolute.

In the official game illustration, she was drawn in association with a magnolia and it
felt like it would suit her even in real life.

<’Notification on Kim Yuri’s Profile.>

[NAME] Kim Yuri

[TITLE] Eunkwang high freshman class zero rep

[BELIEF] The words of the royal lineage that hid their name ‘Have a bit more
courage.’

[ESTEEMED ORDER] (Sealed)

[CONDITION] Normal

[Overall skill] Lv.15

[Skill]

Fencing Lv.4

Danger detection Lv.2

Sprinter Lv.2

I checked the settings and saw that Yuri’s esteemed ability was sealed.

‘Nothing is different from the game.;

Kim yuri falls into a state of panic after she experiences her esteemed ability for the
first time age 17.

Kim yuri is afraid of her own esteemed ability.

She voluntarily joined class zero and requested the players association to seal away
her esteemed ability.

‘She died while hiding this truth even from her best friend An Dain.’

In the end, Kim yuri was not able to overcome her fear of her own esteemed ability
before she died.

“I’m Kim Yuri, Nice to meet you.”

“Jo Eushin. Nice to meet you too.”

We were wearing name tags and were aware of each other’s names but still engaged
in a formal introduction.

“Eushin do you remember yesterday we were choosing the class rep and vice rep?
We decided for me to be the class rep but Hanyi says she doesn’t want to be involved
in school committee roles. So I was hoping either you or Jiho can take it up. Oh, if you
want to be the rep instead I’ll let you do it. “

I couldn’t ask the others since no one was here yet.

Looking at Yuri she was friendly towards me even though this was pretty much the
first time we had met.

Her natural ability to continue a conversation gave me the impression that she must
have been in a similar role in her secondary school.

‘Thinking of the future progress I definitely wanted to be either the class rep or the
vice rep.’

I couldn’t ask for more than someone like Yuri for a school committee role.

“Hwang Jiho would find something like this a hassle. I’ll be the vice rep.”

This wasn’t a lie.

Hwang Jiho, no, Hwang Myeongho to be more precise.

Anyways the yellow tiger seemed to find his current chairman role a hassle as well.
“Wah, I’m relieved. Let’s work hard together this year.”

Yuri spoke brightly.

She must have been worried that no one would want to be the vice rep since many in
class zero were famously known to have odd ones.

“Eushin, will you share your device code with me?”

“Sure, send me yours too.”

We were going to be the class rep and vice rep together.

It would be easier to know each other’s contact number.

We exchanged our wearable device codes and chatted as we waited for the morning
assembly to start.

“Eushin you are the ‘nameless supernova’ right? I didn’t think you would join class
zero.”

“Ya somehow it turned out that way.

I really didn’t know things would turn out this way.

This was a result of my deal with the yellow tiger.

‘Overall it wasn’t a bad choice.’

It was in close proximity to the main characters in class 1 and 2.

And there were several characters in class 0 I wanted to save.

Besides my different vibe as compared to most Eunkwang high students could be

easily passed off without suspicion as “Class zero acting up again.”

“I think class zero is really nice. Other classes have like up to 50 per class but our
class doesn’t even have 20 in total. So it’s easier to ask our professor for help and use
the classroom spaciously.”
Yuri seemed to genuinely like class zero.

“Did you see the common timetable? Today’s ‘player battle practice1’ is a combined
class.”

Player battle practice1.

First-class.

This was an event that was treated with more importance even in the game.

Yuri continued to talk.

“Because our class size is too small, we are combining with class 1 and 2.”

Year 1 class 1. Year 1 class 2.

The classes where the main hero Soohyuk and the main heroine Dain were in.

My first class would be together with these main characters.

Dark chapter.

A phrase used to describe your embarrassing past you wanted to erase.

Powerful, intelligent, sociable, good looking, and wealthy. The genius who had all of
the listed qualities.

The main hero of Fullmago, Joo Soohyuk, too had a dark chapter in his life.

The first time Soohyuk and Dain had a combined class.

Dain meets her best friend Yuri during the ‘Player Battle practice 1’ combined class
and smiles for the first time ever since the first day of school.

Soohyuk who sees her smiling in front of him trips and falls in a grand manner.

Had he not been in his players’ physical state, his fall was impactful enough to cause
a concussion or a broken bone.

Even the mighty Joo Soohyuk was just a teenager smitten by the smile of the girl he
had fallen for.

‘Dain rarely smiled so it’s understandable why Soohyuk was surprised. Previously
whenever she smiled they were out of politeness. A combination of her
expressionless face and a slight lift in the corners of her mouth.

Soohyuk had made a fool of himself in front of 100 or so people and was recorded on
live stream.

He then tries to pull himself together and engages on a one on one with Dain.

Soohyuk loses miserably.

Dain is taken by surprise by Soohyuk’s poor skills and Soohyuk sensing her
disappointment is tormented.
This whole scenario was the main highlight of today’s first class.

5 minutes before the start of class.

The entire year 1 class 1 arrived at the sports hall allocated for freshmen.

Yuri commented that more may come today so we had waited as long as we could for
our other classmates.

But like yesterday, there were only four of us again. Hwang Jiho, Kim Yuri, Hayi, and
myself.

The four of us walked together to the sports hall but as soon as we arrived I
pretended to explore the sports hall and went to stand behind Soohyuk.

“Yuri!”

Dain had found Yuri.

Dain, with a pretty expression that imitated a field of fully bloomed flowers, waved
her hand.

The cold and expressionless Dain was gone and a warm smile was widely spread all
over.

All the students that saw Dain looked surprised.

But Dain and Yuri didn’t seem to care and started to talk.

Flop.

I supported Soohyuk from behind and prevented his fall.

I don’t know how he had tripped but both his legs were momentarily in the air.

Thankfully I was prepared and avoided being entangled in an accident together.

“Are you okay?

“…oh, sorry. Ya I’m okay.”

Soohyuk who stood leaning against my shoulder looked like he wasn’t in the right
state of mind.

Even a lost and blank expression looked good on Soohyuk.

There were a few students standing behind Soohyuk and looking at the side of his
face. They looked even more lost and blank than he did.

“Are you sure you’re okay? I think you’re going to battle Dain in this class today. You
guys have the same score so.”

“What? Oh, right. Okay. That’s okay.”

He looked far from okay.

At the mention of Dain, his cheeks were dyed a shade of red.

But soon he calmed down after a few deep breaths.

Even though he was smitten by his first love Soohyuk was one of the main characters
in this world.

Now with this, he would have avoided an embarrassing moment.

‘This should have done the trick.’

I was about to leave Soohyuk and walk away when Soohyuk spoke.

“Thanks, Jo Eushin.”

Soohyuk knew my name.

It was an odd feeling to hear my name being spoken from the mouth of the main
character.

“…You know my name?”

“My test site was right opposite yours for the practical exam. When everything
wrapped up and you were transported to the hospital, I caught a glimpse of your face
and name tag. I’m more surprised that you know my name.”
Soohyuk smiled and spoke casually, he no longer seemed to be out of it.

‘What a good memory.’

To think that Soohyuk was able to remember someone’s name and face just from a
glimpse amidst all the chaos that had happened that day.

If so it was even possible that Soohyuk remembered Sanghoon and Namwook.

“I don’t think there’s anyone amongst the freshman that doesn’t know you or Dain’s
name.”

“Hahaha, if you put it that way then the same goes for the nameless supernova.”

Soohyuk naturally continued the conversation.

He had the ability to make the other person smile and be at ease.

‘When I saw him from the game I only thought of him as someone who was easy to
stick to.’

But in real life, I realized he had the ability to charm people and genuinely gain their
attention.

‘No wonder those from the royal lineage reached out to Soohyuk.”

While we were engaged in a conversation.

The class bell rang and put an end to our conversation.

“The class bell…”

A combined sound of string and wind instruments filled the room.

It was a great combination of string, wind, and brass instruments that showed off a
great melody.

The students spoke in softer voices to appreciate the melody.

“They played this themselves? What was the title? I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere
before.”

“It’s composed by Elgar, the marching song of Wipungdang No.1 in D major… wow
they even organized the second half.”

“Seems like the string, wind, and orchestra club came together to commemorate the
first class bell.”

“I like this piece. I’m going to download it.”

As the piece continued the sound of conversations faded away.

All around, students put up their hologram to download the piece.

In Eunkwang high the soundtrack of the class bell changed every hour.

Those in charge of the class bell were the music-related clubs.

String, wind, orchestra, piano, a traditional instrument, band, vocal music, choir,
composing club, etc decided on the soundtrack to use for the class bell.

Anything from instrument pieces to self sung songs were possible to use.

There were times when it was a classic piece like today. Sometimes there were pop
songs or self-composed songs.

There were cases when it was a country song or traditional Korean pansori.

All these soundtracks were uploaded on Eunkwang high’s broadcasting homepage.

The sound of the class bell was only a minute long but the full version was
downloadable on the homepage.

‘I’ll download today’s one after making a donation.’

The class bell was downloadable for free but you were also able to donate as much
as you wanted.

After the allocated minute for the class bell was over, the track started to fade out.
Then the professors turned up.
Soohyuk and I had stopped talking and were listening to the class bell, but now
decided to part ways and return to our places.

“See you soon, Eushin.”

“Sure, Soohyuk.”

Soohyuk rejoined his class year 1 class 2 students and I rejoined my class zero
students.

The students lined up in two lines per class. Then the three professors stood in front
of the 104 students and did a brief self-introduction.

Year 1 class zero homeroom teacher Ham Geun Hyeong

Year 1 class one homeroom teacher Kim Shin Rok

Year 1 class two homeroom teacher No Young Mi

No Young Mi was a non-playable character.

But Kim Shin Rok was a new character.

In the game, the form teacher of class one was Choi Pyeon Deuk, that piece of trash.

<This character is not found in the database. There is no information on this person>

Even with the specified menu tab, there was no information to be found.

The homeroom teacher of Year 1 class 1, where the title heroine Andain was, played
quite a crucial role.

But to think that it was an unregistered character.

‘Choi Pyeon Deuk is still out there alive so why was there a change in their appointed
teacher?’

I was staring and continuously observing Kim Shin Rok.

Then I realized he had a familiar face.

‘The invigilator who had appeared near death at the nameless side character’s
tutorial…!”

He was the invigilator who had turned up during the practical exam near death and
shouted at us to run.

‘In the storyline, he suffered a severe injury from the bear lineage and was thrown
into the sports hall with the enemy. Then died with the students who were in there
taking their exam… ’

Perhaps Kim Shin Rok was originally the appointed homeroom teacher for class 1.

But in the game, he had died so there was a change.

“Hello everyone. This is ‘Player battle practice 1’ your first lesson since you’ve
entered Eunkwng high.’

No Young Mi the homeroom teacher of year 1 class 2 started the class.

“Amongst you, there will be some of you that are not interested in battles and avoid
them. Of course, there are many paths for a player. You need not join the pro player
team after you graduate Eunkwang high. There are students who end up becoming
doctors, lawyers, civil workers, or even professors like us.’

There were some guilty faces in the crowd.

There were quite a number of students who had joined Eunkwang high for its title
and reputation as the most elite high school in Korea. Rather than because they
wanted to pursue a career as a player.

‘Namwook was an example of such.’

The enthusiasm and pursuit of the elite education system continued even after the
scandal in this industry.

“But we never know where the borderline will turn up. It may be found in the offices
you work in or the resort you visit for a holiday. A borderline may open up and the
enemy may appear.”

No Young Mi continued.
“Only players like us are capable of combating the enemies. It is the basic quality of a
player to train and polish their skills to fight for your family, friends, neighbors, and
yourself.”

Those of us here were newly turned 17, year-one high school students.

All this while it had been impossible to use our esteemed abilities as it had been
sealed away so even if we had outstanding battle skills we were in the position of
being protected.

But now that we were 17 and approved by the association we were the players.

No Young Mi’s speech made me realize that we all stood in a different position. From
the ones being protected by others to the ones that protected others.

“One of the entrance requirements to enter Eunkwang high is to ‘be equipped with
more than one battle skill.’ Our teaching team will do our best to enhance the battle
skills that you have shown to us.”

As No Young Mi gestured, Kim Shin Rok and Ham Geun Hyeong respectively brought
carts full of item cards.

“All of the cards here are item cards designed and catered to enhance the battle skills
you revealed during the entrance exam. Their rarity are all class R items.”

Several students raised their hands.

“Professor! I brought my own personal item card.”

“Same here.”

Those funded by their families’ wealth possessed even rarer items that were of SR or
SSR rarity. So to them, the R rarity item must have been unsatisfying.

No Young Mi shook her head.

“What we want to see today is purely your battle skills.”

It was expected for the homeroom teachers to observe and assess the strength and
abilities of their year one students.
That was why it was necessary to combine more than two classes to compare and
assess each student’s position amongst the rest.

Since attacks that occurred at the borderline were mostly in large groups.

There were many unhappy faces in the crowd, but No Young Mi ignored it and
continued to speak.

“Your respective homeroom teachers will distribute the item cards. One the
distribution is completed, gather back.”

***

I did not want to share my skill.

Personalized menu option? Skill of faith? Corresponding skill?

I was probably the only one in this world with these sorts of skills.

Once I revealed them, I predicted a future where I was used as a research target by
the player’s association or the government.

But it was a mandatory rule to reveal more than one battle skill in Eunkwang high.

‘I only have one skill I can reveal.’

Which was also my only battle skill.

The skill I revealed was the “all things ability” where I could use any shield and
weapon.

“Wow! Are all these yours Eushin?”

Yuri looked at me impressed.

Most students had been issued one card.

‘This is more than I expected.’

The number of cards I received was 300.

Those around me started to talk as I stood there holding a whole stack of cards in a
plastic case.

Even Hwang Jiho who was standing next to me with a card in his hand looked at me
with sparkling eyes.

“Even amongst the royal lineage, there are only a few who have the all things ability.
You’re amazing Jo Eushin,”

He must have already known based on the documents I had submitted during my
application.

Pretending was second nature to the yellow tiger.

I guess that was how he was so brazen to mix in with 17-year-old students when in
reality he was over 5000 years old.

“I wanted to let you try all the existing weapons. You’re the first student to have the
all things ability so this was the best we could do.”

Ham Geun Hyeond looked at the fully packed card case with a look of regret.

“Since your skill level is only 1 by using these various weapons you can then learn
how to level up accordingly…”

“Skill level 1? What a loser.”

A loud voice was heard from year 1 class 2.

An uncomfortable silence surrounded the year one sports hall.

The intentionally spiteful commented was directed at me.

“I was wondering how great you were to receive 300 cards. But it seems like you’re
nothing but a loser stuck at level 1.”

The person who said this was a student from Year 1 class 2.

I was a little surprised after seeing his face.

‘This is the guy is the extra who’s about to get beaten up by Soohyuk after picking a
fight with him’

The extra who repents his poor misconduct around the end of year one and becomes
friends with Soohyuk.

The one who is possessed by the evil enemy and breaks down Soohyuk’s mental
form.

<’Notification on Bang Yoon Sub’s Profile.>

‘It’s exactly the same information as what I saw in the setting menu of the original
extra NPC.’

In the game the first place Soohyuk who had left a dark memory.

Bang Yoon Sub then tries to pick a fight with Soohyuk

Soohyuk was already in the worst mood after embarrassing himself in front of the
girl he liked.

Soohyuk shows no mercy to Bang Yoon Sub.

‘Although it was the game user using Soohyuk to beat Bang Yoon Sub in the game.’

Bang Yoon Sub is completely shattered and beaten to a pulp by Soohyuk.

This incident will occur exactly a week from today during the Year 1 Class 2’s
individual battle practice class.

‘Did his target change to the nameless supernova now that Soohyuk doesn’t have a
dark chapter to deal with?’

I, Jo Eushin, who was famously known as the nameless supernova.

But I was in Year 1 class zero where all the problematic kids were in.

My battle skill was level 1.

I was considered as someone famous and seemed to have an opening.

‘Perhaps he’d thought that if he managed to get a head start on me, he would be
treated differently for having spoken over the nameless supernova.’

Today was the only time there was a combined class with class zero.
If he was aiming for me then he had to pick a fight today and now.

So he really changed his target from Soohyuk to me.

“Bang Yoon Sub, were you talking to me?”

Bang Yoon Sub took a deep breath as I called out his name.

He probably wanted to look cool but didn’t want to be against me.

He had acted cowardly amongst the crowd but since I had called him out, he was
clearly shocked.

But Bang Yoon Sub tried to put up a strong side and shouted.

“Ye, Yes! So what. It’s not like I said something wrong. Loser.”

A commotion started in the sports hall.

No one would have expected to see an idiot like him in Eunkwang high, the most elite
school in Korea.

Unfortunately, there is something called the rule of survival.

Wherever you go there is always a fool.

The professors and Ham Geun Hyeong in particular had adopted a stern look.

‘What should I do.’

Bang Yoon Sub

Joo Soohyuk

Battle practice class.

All things ability

The way things would proceed.

Suddenly I had a good idea.

I raised my hand before Ham Geun Hyeong could step in.

“Today’s class curriculum is a battle between the students right? I request for my
first fight to be with Bang Yoon Sub.

As I finished speaking there was a large commotion.

I added on privately to Ham Geun Hyeong in a quiet voice.

“It’ll be a good example if I fight with Bang Yoon Sub.”

Ham Geun Hyeong seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at me.

“Jo Eushijn, are you saying that because you know the objective of today’s class?”

“Yes.”

Ham Geun Hyeong looked at me as though he was measuring me out.

After a few seconds.

Ham Geun Hyeong smiled.

“Make sure you do a good job, Jo Eushin.”

Kim Shin Rok and No Young Mi who must have seen me talking with Ham Geun
Hyeong privately and understood the situation, as they nodded their heads slightly.

As the three professors approved of the battle, everyone shouted “Ohhhhh!”

“He’s the nameless supernova right?”

“Just like professor Ham Geun Hyeong said, Jo Eushin has the all things ability.”

“I saw on TV that it’s the most desired top 5 skills. Looking at the number of cards he
has I can understand why.”

The students tried to predict the outcome of Bang Yoon Sub and my battle.
“Bang Yoon Sub is an idiot but his battle skill level is rather high… so I can’t predict
what the outcome will be.”

“The nameless supernova is level 1. His overall skill seems around the same. No
matter how many items he can yield, I’m sure it’s more advantageous for the skill
level to be higher.”

“Shall we make a bet on this? I bet ten dollars on Bang Yoon Sub.”

Although we don’t know whoever started it, the sports hall started to get noisy as
everyone started to talk about making a bet.

And soon someone took the lead and turned on a betting application and shared the
QR code via their hologram.

“3 dollars on Bang Yoon Sub.”

“5 dollars on Bang Yoon Sub.”

“40 dollars on Bang Yoon Sub.”

“I’ll bet 10 dollars on Bang Yoon Sub. Hey, you better do a good job!”

Everyone was connecting via the code and making their transfers.

Even Dain and Soohyuk’s first battle didn’t create a commotion like this.

The professors did not take part in the betting but did not stop the students and
watched on.

They already knew the outcome.

And they knew how they could use the outcome to link it to today’s lesson.

‘This is considered more as a form of entertainment than a gamble. Even if they

didn’t stop them it would be fine. The students will learn something from this
experience.’

The total amount the students betted on was increasing to rise.

And the majority were betting on Bang Yoon Sub so it wasn’t much of a bet.

“1000 dollars on Jo Eushin”

A student betting a rather large amount appeared and the sports hall became quiet.

It was Sanghoon.

Now that I think of it, Sanghoon was in Year 1 Class1.

I had arrived late to the sports hall and was talking to Soohyuk, so I didn’t manage to
say hi to him.

“Can’t you tell from the look on Eushin’s face? If you don’t want to lose your money,
you should reconsider.”

Sanghoon smiled at me with a meaningful expression then transferred the money

using the hologram.

Sanghoon’s unwavering behavior made a commotion again.

“He’s the guy who survived the practical exam with the nameless supernova.”

“The guy involved in the Son of a bait incident…”

“Then he must know the nameless supernova pretty well. Now I’m torn.”

Meanwhile, Hwang Jiho was contemplating while looking at his bank account full of
zeros using his hologram.

“Shall I bet a million dollars.”

“…if the amount goes up too much you’re gonna be caught for gambling. So take it
easy.”

“So what.”

I can’t believe he said, “so what.”

I convinced Hwang Jiho out of it.

Hwang Jiho put on a grumpy look but did not argue as I convinced him out of it.

The total amount was already as big as it was and I didn’t want to add another digit
to it.

A player is treated fairly as a player and will consider this to be okay but.

“What in the shit… this wasn’t what I intended…”

The small-hearted Bang Yoon Sub, who had picked a fight to grow his reputation and
vent out his stress. He seemed afraid as things were getting out of hand.

‘If he was going to be that scared, why did he even bother picking a fight.’

Then all of a sudden he must have had a thought.

His expression changed all of a sudden and he shouted loudly.

“Let’s limit the number of weapons to one in the battle. And no use of the esteemed
ability either!”

People started to sigh and look at Bang Yoon Sub pathetically at his cowardly
suggestion.

‘What a coward.’

Bang Yoon Sub’s dual nutchucker skill was level 3.

My all things ability skill was level 1.

Our overall skills were equally level 13.

If we were to rely solely on our skill level it was impossible to win.

And all the more impossible if the esteemed ability was banned.

‘Not a problem.’

There was no need to hesitate.

“Fine,”

As I accepted his suggestion, Bang Yoon Sub smirked with a confident look as though
he had already won.

Those who had bet their money on me looked like their souls had escaped their
bodies once they heard my answer.

I activated one item card from my item tab and actualized it.

“If we fight as you suggested, then the person who loses is to… be a slave for a year.
How’s that.”

The item I actualized was a level R rarity item ‘fire tongs of promise’.

It was an item card I bought before the start of school.

Whoever that made a promise on the fire tongs of promise, would have all their nails
pulled out by the burning hot tongs if they broke that promise.

It was a rather low standard since breaking a promise only resulted in the loss of
your nails.

It would hurt like hell but for a player that could use a recovery item card, it could be
easily overcome.

‘For a scaredy-cat like Bang Yoon Sub, this is enough to do the trick.’

Nobody would voluntarily want to have their nails pulled out by flaming hot tongs.

“Wow slave for a year!”

“The nameless supernova is going out strong.”

At my suggestion, the year ones were even more excited.

“Fire tongs of promise……!”

Bang Yoon Sub looked nervous as he muttered to himself.

It was a popular item so Bang Yoon Sub seemed to recognize it immediately.

“Did you think I would back down? Fine, let’s do it!”

Flames erupted.

The moment Bang Yoon Sub agreed the fire tongs of promise burnt and dissipated
into the air.

At the same time, Bang Yoon Sub and my nails turned red momentarily before
returning to its original color.

The promise of slavery had been activated.

There were only three people who had bet on me.

Sanghoon, Soohyuk, and Yuri.

I could understand why Sanghoon, but I wondered why Soohyuk and Yuri had made
a bet on me.

Soohyuk bet the same amount as Sanghoon as Sanghoon bet 1000 dollars.

Soohyuk was one of the eldest grandsons of the top four conglomerates in Korea.

He probably didn’t have much money sense so he must have copied Sanghoon’s bet.

As for Sanghoon, his parents gave him allowance for him to use when he met with
Namwook and myself so I guess he was using that.

‘It’s odd that Yuri bet on me.’

Yuri was not the type of person to take part in a bet but perhaps she was trying to
show support since we were in the same class and a school committee role together.

The total bet placed on me was 2050 dollars.

The total bet placed on Bang Yoon Sub was 2478 dollars.

There were quite a few people who had not taken part like Dain, Hwang Jiho, Hanyi.
Yet the amount was quite large.

“Now, both of you, in position.”

“Wahhhh!”

The 100 students seated in the audience seat of the sports hall screamed and
cheered.

The betting application was expanded and blinking brightly in the air from a
hologram device.

[Match of one-year slavery]

[The nameless supernova Jo Eushin VS The nameless contestant Bang Yoon Sub]

I wonder who was the one who had typed the title for this match.

To add on someone added the Lucky OST, ‘Going Distance’ to hype up the
atmosphere.

I wonder if it was okay to use such a famous hit as a BGM for some dumb bet on two
kids.

“On my mark, you both can actualize your item card and begin the battle.”

The referee was the homeroom teacher of Year 1 Class 1, Kim Shin Rok.

Since I was in class zero and Bang Yoon Sub was in class 2, having class 1’s
homeroom teacher as the referee must have been determined as the best choice.

I chose one card out of the 300 cards and stood in position.

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Bang Yoon Sub and I stood with at least 10m between us and faced each other.

The BGM changed from ‘Going The Distance’ to ‘Gonna Fly Now’.

“Now ready,”
“Wahhhh!”

“Go, Bang Yoon Sub!”

‘Bang Yoon Sub, become a winner!”

Bang Yoon Sub seemed happy at the thought of an increased popularity and the
thought of being treated like a hero.

Kim Shin Rok raised his hand and signaled.

“Begin!”

Bang Yoon Sub’s card in his hand changed to his dual Nunchaku

“Abiyo!”

With the dual nunchaku in his hands, and shouting a battle cry, Bang Yoon Sub ran
towards me

I actualized my item card.

I heard the system notification as I actualized my weapon

<Skill ‘All things usage’ has been activated.>

“Wait, hold on, is that a magic weapon?”

The crowd were shocked.

And they were right to be.

In my hand, I was holding the R level soil element magic weapon called ‘Novice
magician’s rod of soil’. Due to the all things’ ability I remembered the magic spells
and its use, naturally.

“Wow, it’s magic!”

“Wah! Wah!”
Magic.

Even amongst the players, only a few are able to use magic.

Just like Yeom Jun Yeol’s ability to use fire and Saeum of April’s ability to control the
wind. Magic didn’t require you to hold an actual weapon.

Spells cast from a promised language.

The ability to control the power of the natural elements based on a spell.

Result of perfectly calculated and researched intelligence.

‘Magic is different from other abilities. It’s more like maths.’

To add on the ability to control the skill, and the difficulty to level up was one of the
highest.

Magic was considered impossible to use unless one was related to the royal family or
prior arrangement with the highly ranked people.

‘Even in this world, it’s only briefly mentioned in textbooks as an additional footnote
to deepen people’s understanding. Although it is a basic requirement for players
playing the game to fully understand their playable characters’ skills, and magic was
one of them.’

A magic weapon is also a weapon.

I had the power to use any kind of weapon so of course, a magic weapon was one of
them.

“Terracia Ico!”

Crash!

I cast a short spell and the magic that controlled the earth attacked Bang Yoon Sub’s
eyes accurately.

Bang Yoon Sub attempted to swing his dual nutchuckers but the speed of magic was
impossible to match.
A level 1 magic was not impactful but it was enough to seal someone’s line of vision
and damage their eyes.

“Arghhh! Eye… My eyes!”

Bang Yoon Sub struggled in pain as the soil hit him hard in the face and eyes.

I reduced the space between us and continuously beat the back of his head with the
rod.

Slam!

Bang Yoon Sub screamed in pain along with the sound of being hit.

With that, I was done suppressing him.

But…

It would be a waste to end it so soon.

I attacked Bang Yoon Sub one last time even though he was about to fall to the floor
of the sports hall.

Just like the saying, kill your enemy with kindness.

It’s best to give the bad guy more than he deserves.

Slam!

“Ughhhh!”

I beat Bang Yoon Sub with the rod, the same spot as before. With that Bang, Yoon Sub
was completely knocked out.

I stepped on the back of Bang Yoon Sub as he lay on the floor and pressed him down
with the rod. Then I looked at the referee, Kim Shin Rok.

Kim Shin Rok raised his hand high up in the air and shouted.

“Jo Eushin Wins!”

The entire sports hall filled with cheers as Kim Shin Rok announced the outcome.

“Wahhhhhh!”

“Omg, This is the first time I saw a magic weapon!”

“Ah… magic weapon… right… I totally forgot about that.”

“What a rip off skill.”

“Damn it my 100 dollars!”

From the application screen, Bang Yoon Sub’s name was removed.

Instead ‘Nameless Supernova Jo Eushin Wins!’ was enlarged.

“Damn… that ass. To use magic… coward ass…!”

Perhaps his eyes were hurting Bang Yoon Sub was tearing up and muttering to
himself.

Even before I could say anything, Ham Geun Hyeong spoke first.

“Bang Yoon Sub, do you really think Jo Eushin is a coward.”

As Ham Geun Hyeong asked, Ban Yoon Sub shut his mouth.

“Don’t you think trying to embarrass someone in public, and forcing an all things
ability possessor to be restricted with one weapon is considered cowardly?”

Ham Geun Hyeong didn’t seem angry.

He was just trying to teach a student a lesson as a professor.

“Do you still not understand why we professor approved this match?”

Ham Geun Hyeong continued to add the blows.

Bang Yoon Sub fidgeted and rubbed his eyes but could not reply.
All the other students soon fell quiet.

The one who initiated the bet must know how to read a room.

The BGM and hologram turned off.

“All of you accepted in Eunkwang high are talented and hardworking. Each of you
strongly believes in your futures and take pride in it. But sometimes that confidence
can be your own poison. For a player, they must know how to be alert and humble in
the unknown.”

To be alert and humble in the unknown.

This was the first lesson and takeaway that the professors wanted to teach the
students of this elite school.

If Bang Yoon Sub and I weren’t here, they would have used Soohyuk and Dain and
used them to show them a different standard of battling. Then they would have used
that to reinforce this message.

‘Even though Soohyuk fails by creating a dark chapter for himself in the game.’

Ham Geun Hyeong continued his speech.

“The incident we had a few years ago. ‘The Naejangsan National Park murder case,’
‘The crisis of the Seokcheon case.’ The level and overall skill of the enemy that wiped
out the entire team at these cases is a well-known fact.”

The students who finally realized the intention of today’s lesson fell silent.

“A moment being off guard differentiates life and death for a player. To
underestimate the nameless supernova that is able to yield SSR rarity items and also
previously wiping out an R+ leveled wanted enemy with his bare body.’

Ham Geun Hyeong’s already fierce-looking face made his words even scarier and the
students tensed up.

Ham Geun Hyeong slowly looked around at the hall of students, who had been
excited just a minute ago.
Multiple students bowed their heads and avoided his gaze.

Those that bet their money on Bang Yoon Sub showed that they had underestimated
me and would be feeling guilty.

To end off Ham Geun Hyeong added.

“Bang Yoon Sub. You formally… no cowardly made a deal with restrictions and still
lost. Keep your word and be responsible by following up on your promise with Jo
Eushin. Class dismissed.”

The deafening silence continued.

It was even more comparable as they had been surrounded in a heated up

atmosphere just a few minutes ago.

“Should I step in and change the mood.’

Just as I was thinking to myself.

Clap clap clap!

“Good fight, Jo Eushin!”

Snaghoon was shouting and applauding while looking towards me.

Soon, Soohyuk followed his example, and then the three students from class zero
added in.

Then slowly the other students in the hall started to clap as well.

Wahhhh—!

Soon the entire sports hall was filled with cheers and claps for me.

Some of them came over to talk to me.

“I lost my money but that was a good lesson. Thanks for the magic skill show!
Nameless supernova.”
“Jo Eushin, show us other magic next time!”

As the applause and cheering were coming to an end.

Bang Yoon Sub who had been lying on the floor must have removed the soil from his
eyes as he had stopped crying and stood up.

Bang Yoon Sub looked at me with a face full of rage then looked between myself and
his own nails.

I now have a slave.

Taking Sanghoon’s suggestion into consideration, we decided to use the winnings to
buy everyone snacks.

Soohyuk and Yuri agreed to the suggestion.

All those who had lost their bet and the professor seemed to like the suggestion.

The class ended 30 minutes earlier.

Those who had lost their bets on Bang Yoon Sub rode their airboards and went to the
school gates to collect the delivery food they had ordered in advance.

“What were you so confident about to bet a thousand dollars.”

“I was confident in you.”

Sanghoon replied as he took a bite of his deep-dish pizza topped with king prawns
and hot chicken.

There were five people seated near me in this eating spree.

The three who had backed me up; Sanghoon, Soohyuk, and Yuri.

And the others were Hwang Jiho and Hanyi from class zero.

“Soohyuk, why did you bet on me?”

“Magic is hard to fight against if you don’t have the appropriate shield or item. I
guess you could stop it if you had substantial power, to begin with. But I knew Eushin
would win.”

Soohyuk must have known exactly what I had in mind.

I’m sure some of those who didn’t bet and were in the top tier like Dain and the
professors, had expected the use of a magic weapon.
‘As expected of the top in Eunkwang high.’

The all things ability and a magic user were both rare.

Bang Yoon Sub and I started this on a whim and the time to decide the bet was
relatively short.

‘To think of the use of a magic weapon after hearing the all things ability.’

I then looked to Yuri who smiled.

“A magic weapon didn’t cross my mind. But I thought the nameless supernova
wouldn’t start a fight he would lose.”

After answering Yuri took a plastic fork and ate a garlic roasted oven chicken.

Even though Hwang Jiho had not taken part in the betting he seemed to have enjoyed
the battle lesson as he ate his tandoori chicken with a satisfied face.

“Jo Eushin, if you hadn’t stopped me I would have bet on you too.”

“Yaya. Thanks, Hwang Jiho.”

Actually I wasn’t thankful at all.

Hanyi on the other hand was seated next to Hwang Jiho and silently eating her
Gorgonzola pizza with honey.

‘I’m sure even though these two didn’t take part, they would have clapped for me.’

I didn’t really expect them to be on my side.

But it was a joyful thing to know that there were people supporting you and
congratulating you.

Somehow today, the oily chicken tasted sweet.

Just as the topic on Bang Yoon Sub and I died down.

Yuri opened up another topic.

“You know just now, the fight between Dain and Soohyuk was tense. I’ve never seen
someone so strong against Dain.”

Soohyuk choked the moment he heard the world ‘Dain.;

Thankfully he didn’t spray the cola in his mouth.

I had just helped soohyuk avoid a dark chapter and here he was about to make one
again.

Maybe Dain’s smile was still spinning in his mind.

I added on to transfer the attention away from Soohyuk.

“Ya. I didn’t know both of you knew how to use the differentiation skill.”

The differentiation skill was the result of personalizing your skill into your own form
and appearance.

Soohyuk and Dain were geniuses who had already acquired the differentiation skill
even before they entered high school.

It was amazing, even the star player Yeom Junyeol learns the differentiation skill for
his targeted flaming skill in his second semester of Year 1.

“Both Soohyuk and Dain fought well.”

After my match with Bang Yoon Sub was over.

The professor pointed out Dain and Soohyuk and engaged them in combat.

“Ha, haha. I was lucky to have won a draw. Dain is strong.”

“Right? I’ve never won her before too.”

Soohyuk who used a dual sword.

Dain who used a sniper’s gun.

Once the battle was signaled to begin.

Soohyuk, to prevent Dain from loading her gun, threw one of his swords to Dain’s
vital point.

As Dain reflected the sword, Soohyuk crouched low and reduced the space between
them. So that he could prance and attack her vital point.

‘That’s when Dain’s differentiation skill was activated.’

Immediately Dain’s shooting skill adopted the differentiation skill.

She adopted a high energy skill that converted her entire body into a gun known as a
‘whole body gun.’

Just as the bullet from the end of Dain’s fingers shot out aimed between Soohyuk’s
head.

Soohyuk used his remaining sword and deflected the bullet.

Meanwhile, Dain lifted her gun to press and hit Soohyuk’s spinal cord.

‘But Dain wasn’t the only one with the differentiation skill.’

Just when the result of the match seemed clear.

The sword Soohyuk threw before, returned back to his hand, and stopped the gun.

This was Soohyuk’s differentiation skill, ‘dual sword one body’.

Ignoring the rules of physics, the dual swords always returned back to Soohyuk’s
hands.

Nobody was able to keep their eyes off of these two.

“It was hard to keep up with our bare eyes. All the attacks were fast and it was a
smart move to go straight for the other’s vital point”

Sanghoon must have been impressed by the match as he commented as well.

Yuri seemed to be yearning for something.

“It’s a shame the combat was limited to 10 minutes and banned the esteemed ability.
This time it was a draw but I wonder what the results would be like if you two fought
for real.”

“The entire sports hall will fall apart.”

The freshman’s sports hall was already full of damage marks.

Within the school, there were players with recovery skills so that amount of damage
wouldn’t be a big deal.

But if Soohyuk and Dain fought for real, no amount of recovery skill will be able to
put back the sports hall.

“So what, doesn’t matter.”

Hwang Jiho do you even know what you are saying?

It must be costly to establish a sports hall that could withstand the powers of
players.

“Hwang Jiho, just eat your pizza.”

I passed him a slice of pizza that Sanghoon had chosen.

Hwang Jiho looked at me with bright eyes as he accepted the slice.

‘Just because Hwang Jiho utters nonsense it won’t blow his cover, and even if he does
it has nothing to do with me.’

Even so, Hwang Jiho was a classmate in the same year as me.

It wasn’t nice to let him be treated as a weirdo.

Even though most of the class zero students were already treated that way.

“This is tasty.”

“Ya? Have some coke too.”

“Thanks.”

Hwang Jiho gladly accepted and ate with bright eyes.

I should continue feeding him to keep him quiet.

He ate everything I gave him.

And kept quiet while he ate.

‘To be unconcerned with the sports hall falling apart? What a different mindset.’

As per the architectural regulations in this world, a facility that catered to a player’s
skill had one of the highest requirement standards so it incurred a lot of money.

To build a sports facility to meet the requirements for a special player high, it would
require skills and items. It would also require multiple times more money and time
as compared to a normal sports hall.

“Hwang Jiho, do you want some pickle?”

“No, give me another slice of the deep-dish pizza.”

“Sure. Eat more.”

Hwang Jiho seems to have completely forgotten his role as a chairman.

Well, maybe it was okay since the Hwangmyeong corporation had a lot of money.

The class bell announcing the end of class started to play. This time it was the
Triumphal March from Verdi’s Opera ‘Aida’.

A trumpet march where in the story they congratulate the Egypt armies victory.

“This song is much too grand to celebrate my victory for a slave match.”

It must have been a coincidence but this song made me feel honored.

The first lesson I had since I had entered Eunkwang high.

Player battle practice 1.

It ended off pleasantly with everyone except Bang Yoon Sub being satisfied.

***

The entire morning came to an end after the first lesson. Now it was lunchtime.

Students that were already full, from chickens and pizzas went their own ways to
enjoy their free time.

I followed Bang Yoon Sub.

“Shit… why did I…”

He lost to me.

Was scolded by a professor.

Dealt with complaints from students for losing the bet.

Bang Yoon Sub must be in a poor state.

But it was all a result of his own actions.

“Why do I have to be a slave to that loser… cough.”

At the most secluded part of the freshman zone.

Bang Yoon Sub was squatting and smoking a cigarette.

He was a joke, not even able to smoke a full breath.

“What do you mean why, it’s because you lost.”

I came out of the shadows and accurately kicked the cigarette Bang Yoon Sub WAS
holding in his hand.

Whoosh-
The cigarette left his hand and was thrown high up in the air before falling to the
ground.

“Gah, Jo Eushin!”

Bang Yoon Sub fell to his butt, surprised.

He must have been unaware that I had followed him.

I spoke as I stepped on the cigarette bud in front of him.

“Make sure you keep your promise, Bang Yoon Sub.”

“Wh… what. Damn it… what are you going to ask me to do!”

A few hours since I met Bang Yoon Sub.

I couldn’t get a scene out of my head.

Where he begged Soohyuk to kill him while shaking in fear.

The final sacrifice of Bang Yoon Sub.

Bang Yoon Sub was a cowardly loser but deep inside he was a good guy.

“Go and sign up for ‘Eunkwang Training course’”.

“What?”

Bang Yoon Sub joined Eunkwang high with the stupid goal to become the school’s
bad guy.

But this guy was a pathetic idiot who didn’t really dare to go down an
unconventional path.

The best he could do was skip out on one class.

‘In Eunkwang high it didn’t mean much to miss out on class because all that really
mattered was your exam score.’
Because he had such a weak mind and body, evil was able to possess his body.

“You’re too weak so you don’t stand a chance. So, enroll in the Eunkwang training
curriculum. If you can beat me even once I will undo our ‘promise’.”

I spoke while pointing at his nails.

He probably wouldn’t have it in him now to go against his promise and have his nails
pulled out.

Bang Yoon Sub looked down at his nails then shouted back.

“Ah, I’ll do it! Damn it… If I win, don’t forget your promise!”

Bang Yoon Sub was about to leave.

But before he left the scene I added on.

“Every time I catch you smoking I’m going to send you to buy me bread.”

“What!”

“Go and buy me bread and a packet of milk. From the store in the third year zone.”

I smiled and handed him 5 dollars.

Smoking would reduce his physical stamina.

So he should train himself as much.

And he was my slave.

“Why should I!”

“You don’t want to?”

As the fire tongs of promise sensed something affecting the contract, Bang Yoon
Sub’s nails flared red.

Panicking, he immediately snatched the 5 dollars.

“You can’t use your airboard. Take a bicycle.”

“What! The third-year zone is bloody far!”

“Then do you want to run there?”

“Jo Eushin you suck!”

Bang Yoon Sub got on a bicycle and headed towards the third year zone.

Seeing how I could catch the sound of my name, he must be riding on as he was
cursing me.

‘If he cursed out loud, then he would be advertising the fact that he was my slave.
What an idiot.’

After confirming that Bang Yoon Sub was out of sight I looked up at a tree nearby.

This tree was the only place anyone could hide around here.

They were probably watching from above.

“Both of you should come down now.”

Two people jumped down from the tree that was at least 10m high.

Whoosh-

The two landed lightly on the ground.

One was Year 1 class 2 homeroom teacher, No Young Mi.

The other was Soohyuk.

“How did you know?”

“Haha, we got caught.”

The two seemed taken aback.

“I thought there would be someone worried about Bang Yoon Sub”

Joo Soohyuk and No Young Mi.

Based on their characters I knew they would come.

“I was going to stop you in case you asked him to do something too much… sorry for
suspecting you.”

Soohyuk who knew what my intentions were, apologized.

It wasn’t really something to apologize about.

“It’s okay. I don’t care. Because I am going to make him buy bread for me from time
to time.”

I knew they understood my intentions but I vocalized it nonetheless.

“Bang Yoon Sub had the skills and diligence to come to Eunkwang high. With the
right opportunity and guidance, he will become a good player.”

Even though Bang Yoon Sub in the game dies.

No Young Mi smiled faintly after hearing my words.

She looked cold but she had a lot of empathy in her.

“I hope you’ll take good care of Bang Yoon Sub.”

10 minutes after the two had left, Bang Yoon Sub returned soaked in sweat.

I offered the bread and milk to him for his hard work.

He hadn’t eaten much in the sports hall so he must be hungry.

Knowing him I was also a little suspicious to eat the food he bought back.

“Eat it.”

“Why! Damn it…”

Bang Yoon Sub looked from his nails to the bread and milk in his hand. He looked
like he was going to cry. But he must have not wanted his nails to be torn off. He
finished the bread and milk quickly.

“Jo Eushin you’re like the enemy you ass!”

Bang Yoon Sub ran towards the toilet and shouted.

As suspected he must have put something in the bread and milk.

This is what you get for playing with food.

I sighed at the expected behavior of Bang Yoon Sub.

‘Seems like Bang Yoon Sub has a long way to go until he can get out of this slavery
contract.’

I should consider how I will use him for one year.

***

There were many brilliant professors in Eunkwang high.

The most prominent was the head of department, Jegal.

Year 1 class 0 homeroom teacher and student manager, Ham Geun Hyeong

Year 1 class 1 homeroom teacher, Kim Shin Rok. Who had shouted at the student to
escape during the entrance practical exam, even when he was half unconscious.

Year 1 class 2 homeroom teacher, No Young mi. Who had trailed me, worried about
his student.

‘There were many admirable professors in the game.’

But wherever you go the rule of life is fair. And this applied to the professors.

A good example was right in front of my eyes.

The professor that was leading a class in front of me.

Choi Pyeon Deuk.

“You young folks, just because you can study a little. You don’t even know what a
good lesson is. Hmm.”

Choi Pyeon Deuk’s lessons were only allocated to those in year 1.

Nobody in year 2 and 3 voluntarily chose his class due to its bad reputation.

“Th… That law on banning gifts and corrupt favors! In the past, there used to be a
bond between teachers and students. Where they exchanged gifts, helped one
another. And there was a deep fondness but to think they banned this.”

In this world around 10 years ago the government instilled a law that banned gifts
and corrupt favors.

Choi Pyeon Deuk seemed enraged as he had enjoyed these small token of goodwill in
the past.

“I don’t care about that. So you can always show your appreciation to me. It’s a
relationship between a teacher and a student!”

Choi Pyeon Deuk indirectly hinted for tokens of favors.

‘He must be twisting his word around in case he is recorded.’

Most students were aware that Choi Pyeon Deuk lacked professionalism.

According to students, those that selected his class without much thought seemed
drained by the end of the year.

In Eunkwang high, for three months you were able to change your curriculum.

During break time many students will probably escape this class and try to find
another.

“Those seniors that you look up to! The player team. Red lion, the lake of eternity, air
society, white tempest, scent of hydrangea. All of them are my students!”

He shouted proudly.
Students go past at least a hundred professors during their years in Eunkwang high.

Choi Pyeon Deuk must have been one of the many so why was he taking the credit
like this.

“So be good to me. Do you hear me? I might slip in a word or two to your seniors if
you are.”

On the back of Choi Pyeon Deuk’s hand, there was a hint of a scar from where his
flesh had been cut away.

The brand I left with Yeom Junyeol’s powers from the Cidelentium coin during the
dream auction.

‘To remove it you need to use a very expensive scar removal item or cut off the flesh
that was imprinted with the brand and have it treated.’

Choi Pyeon Deuk is a player after all.

So he must have had the will to cut off his own flesh.

“I am connected to many higher-ups.”

This was an example of his most commonly used phrase ‘evil that escapes judgment.’

He undertakes horrible acts, but until the very end survives the consequences out of
luck and does not repent on his sins.

Choi Pyeon Deuk is assumed as an NPC who survives until the final battle and what
follows.

“In a sacred classroom, of course, you should trust and follow your teacher.
Mmmhmm.”

Choi Pyeon Deuk from the game communicates secretly with the bear lineage during
the entrance practical exam and ends up killing Kim Shin Rok and four other
students.

He was the descendent of the King’s maternal relatives and recognized the identity
of Saeum of April. Then he sold him over to the dream auction and benefited from it.
There were other students he pushed off a cliff as well.

‘And he allowed trash into Eunkwang high.’

After receiving corrupted bribes, he set up a special administration process.

Allowing unqualified students into the school. Those students were the ones to bully
the weak and killed Cotton wool with pesticide, out of their jealousy for Dain.

Choi Pyeon Deuk tries to cover for them and tries to blame Dain who lost Cotton
wool, as a bully.

‘The more I think of it he’s like a dog.’

In the game, Choi Pyeon Deuk commits countless sins but survives and lives happily
till the very end.

His title as a professor in an elite high provided him stability and status.

He was able to make use of this with luck and connections.

‘No, to compare Choi Pyeon Deuk to a dog, would be offending the dog.’

After Jegal leaves Eunkwang high and slowly dies.

Choi Pyeon Deuk climbs to the position of head of department and is on a roll.

‘If I leave him alone, he will continue to grow his influence.’

As the final battle drew near.

Choi Pyeon Deuk is highlighted as an influential person in Eunkwang high as most of

the professors have already died.

“A student that chose my lesson definitely has a good instinct. You get my point right.
So be good to me this year. Do you understand?”

There were sins he had not committed yet.

But…
‘I have no intention to sit back and watch him commit them.’

As soon as I find a piece to get rid of Choi Pyeon Deuk, I will.

I considered the choices one by one in my head.

As I changed my thoughts, I was able to bear through his bullshit.

Question 17.

Choose the correct answer that correctly explains the relationship between the
following example (ga) and the historical records (na).

Example (ga)

The sky opened up and God of the sky came down to ask for a wish, to which the
celestial tigers replied.

White tiger wished to go anywhere.

Yellow tiger wished to exist anywhere.

The blue tiger wished to serve god’s son.

(Summary)

God of the sky easily granted these wishes and returned back through the open sky.

The remaining gods and tigers were very happy.

The god that ruled over this land celebrated every year by opening up a banquet to
show his gratitude to the God of the sky.

-Myth of Gaecheon-

1. This is when totemism prevailed

2. You can infer there were more than four tiger lineages.

3. The tiger lineage and gods were of the same level

4. It was a theocratic society

 5. You can confirm the relationship between the tiger and bear lineage.

‘The answer is 4. Since the god who rules this world holds a banquet, so it’s
theocratic.’

2 and 5 were true but it was a trick question.

There are only three tiger lineages recorded in the myth of gaecheon, and the bear
lineage does not appear in it at all.

This was a question that tested if one was able to differentiate between myth and
legend.

‘That’s the answer.’

I checked the answer in the electronic workbook for my current class

‘Understanding of the royal lineage 1’ and was notified it was correct.

The questions on the myth of gaecheon were relatively easy.

As the answer was reviewed it moved on to the next question.

Question 18.

From the list below, select the descendant that is not described correctly.

‘This is a question testing the difference between the royal family and the royal
descendant.’

The likelihood of an offspring between the royal lineage or even between a royal
lineage and a human was extremely low.

But there were a few that managed to accomplish this very difficult task.

Even if a child is born to continue the royal bloodline, they are not allowed to
become a part of the royal lineage.

They are referred to as the ‘Royal descendants’

[The royal descendants’ question is not that hard. Simply, take Yeom Junyeol from
our school for example. Yeom Junyeol’s mother was born directly from the dragon
lineage. Even so, she and Yeom Junyeol are both referred to as royal descendants.]

I checked my answer while recalling the words of ‘Yim Yeonhwa’ the professor
teaching the class understanding of the royal lineage 1.

‘Even though he’s not a pureblood Yeom Junyeol is still a descendant of the dragon
lineage…”

Because Yeom Junyeol’s mother was a descendant of a pure royal lineage, his birth
itself was considered a miracle.

That’s why Yeom Bangyeol and the dragon clan treated Yeom Jung Yeol preciously.

‘The total number of the descendants of the dragon lineage were not more than ten.’

The number of descendants of a pure royal lineage were lesser than the actual royal
lineage.

I couldn’t understand why they were asking such a meaningless question.

Perhaps Yeom Junyeol’s popularity played a part when the questions were
developed.

‘A descendants born between a human and a pure royal lineage… they were stronger
than an average human but weaker than the royal lineage also, they could not rebel
against their own royal lineage. Their existence was full of penalties.’

I finished the 50 assignment questions and turned off the electronic workbook.

As I had come to school early, I was the only one in class.

“…It’s only been a week since school has started and I’m already swamped by exams.’

A week had passed since the start of Eunkwang high.

To name a few events that happened since the Seoul Ministry of education advocated
a nationwide combined student assessment.

A nationwide combined student assessment was entirely based on topics that were
tested for the college entrance exams, so it applied to normal high schools in the
whole nation as well as the player-specific high schools.

Soohyuk and Dain scored full marks in year one and were momentarily the talk of
the town.

‘While I scored somewhere midpoint.’

Eunkwang high may be an elite school but for a 4-year college graduate, it was an
embarrassing result.

To fend for myself, it had been 10 years since I studied for the college exam, and I
had only studied on player relevant topics ever since I joined this world.

Personally I was satisfied.

‘The mock college exam was only applicable to those who had chosen relevant
modules.’

I did not choose any module that was taught in a normal high school.

Namwook who saw my chosen modules had nagged at me and asked if I was giving
up on the college entrance exam.

To enter college, even the special player students had to meet a minimum
requirement in the college exams. So those who planned to go to college had to take
up all the topics in a normal high school.

‘College… ’

I had already experienced college life.

And I wasn’t exactly hung up on reliving that life.

The only thing I was hung up on was the future of this world’s ending.

‘Let’s just study.’

I put aside my depressing thoughts.

As expected from an elite high school there were exams swamping me every day so I
couldn’t be off guard.

Each of my modules’ test results were currently in the top ranks.

‘It doesn’t reflect anything on my overall skill so it didn’t mean much.’

I had studied beforehand using my personal menu setting ability so I was not too
stressed.

In fact, I was learning in detail the aspects that weren’t covered in my personal menu
setting.

‘In this world, the tiger clan referred after the white tiger and yellow tiger was the
blue tiger… ’

I read the completed version of the Myth of Gaecheon and thought through it.

The tiger clans that appear in the gamer were the white tiger, yellow tiger, and the
red tiger.

It mentioned the existence of other tiger clans but they never appeared in the game.

The only time it was shown was in the form of a silhouette in a character’s
recollection.

‘If the blue tiger wished to serve the god by his side, the chances are that he is still by
his side serving him.’

I wanted to find out more about the blue tiger and the presence of a god.

This was one of the blanks and unknowns that existed in the game.

As I dug deeper into this I could roughly guess the current state of the blue tiger and
the god.

But…

‘I have no way to confirm it or prove it.’

If the story progressed there must be a way to confirm it.

For now, I had to wait.

Whoosh-

I heard the automatic door of the Year 1 Class 0 door opened.

‘Wonder if that’s Yuri?’

I turned around thinking it was Yuri but was greeted with an unexpected face.

A non-playable character in the game, NPC, Hanyi.

“Hi.”

As I greeted her, Hanyi replied back expressionlessly.

“Jo Eushin, hello.”

Hanyi had a high score in her entrance exam and she had never gotten herself into
trouble.

She was on the quiet side but got along well with the professors.

But the reason why she was allocated to class zero was due to her disability. She had
a level 2 hearing and deafness impairment.

<’Notification on Hanyi’s Profile.>

[Explanation]

Grew up after being adopted from an orphanage at 5 years old.

Disable with level 2 hearing and deafness impairment.

Was unable to recover even with an eardrum transplant or receiving a player’s

recovery skill.

Assumed to have been strongly cursed when under the age of 5.

Perfectly accomplished in mouth reading, hence faces no difficulty in

communicating.

(failed to load partially)

‘She has top rank qualifications as a student. But played a rather small role because
she was an NPC, I am now able to see more details I wasn’t aware of.’

Eunkwang high did not treat the disabled any differently.

Eunkwang high students were exposed to fight with the enemy from the other world
from Year 1 semester 2.

It was a matter of life and death.

Therefore differentiating the disabled for special treatment was unnegotiable.

‘Hanyi entered Eunkwang high with the same requirements as any other student and
entered within the top ranks.’

The school had never admitted a severe disability before, so the teaching staff had a
long discussion before deciding to allocate her to class zero.

They assumed it would be better to place her in a class of 20 instead of 50 so that it

will be easier to support her.

‘Although Hanyi doesn’t require much help from the professors much anyway… ’

Hanyi possessed a high level of presence detection and mouth reading.

Hanyi was able to converse perfectly as long as she was able to see the other
person’s mouth and replied with clearly articulated words.

There were a few times in the game where people were surprised after finding out
that Hanyi was deaf.

“You’re here early today”

“Because we get to choose our club activities today.”

The club activities were probably the biggest reason why Hanyi decided to enroll in
Eunkwang high.

Hanyi must have come early to submit her application.

‘It must be because of Gong Chung Hwen.’

Gong Chung Hwen was a volunteer through Hanyi’s time in the orphanage.

He was the first to find out that Hanyi was a player.

He taught her mouth reading and Taehokwon, one of the traditional martial arts of
Korea in this world.

‘He taught her perfectly to the extent that Hanyi was able to enroll in Eunkwang high.
He’s an amazing person.’
And now.

Gong Chung Hwen was a contract teacher in Eunkwang high and in charge of the
Taehokwon club activities.

“Are you going to join Taehokwon?”

“Yes.”

Hanyi replaced her expressionless face with a longing expression and replied with a
smiler.

‘…This is the first time I’ve seen such an expression in this world.’

Gong Chung Hwen dies while protecting a student.

Hanyi arrives late at the scene and puts on the same kind of expression.

Even as the enemy approaches she does not react.

She sits quietly next to Gong Chung Hwen and a close up of that was her last scene.

‘I should stop thinking about it.’

Maybe I had studied too much.

My thoughts continuously ran in a depressing direction.

I changed the topic to lighten up the mood for myself.

“I saw the cool Taehokwon match during last week’s lesson. I’ll drop by when I have
time.”

During last week’s first-class, player battle practice 1.

Hanyi was up against Hwang Jiho.

Hwang Jiho looked at Hanyi with sparkling eyes as she actualized an item card and
wore the safeguard to fight with her Taehokwon.
`There was a rumor that Taehokwon was formed by the tiger lineage, seeing how
Hwang Jiho reacted, it must be true.’

After seeing Hanyi take a Taehokwon stance, Hwang Jiho threw away his item card.

The professor and other students found this odd.

Hwang Jiho put aside the battle skill he submitted and adopted his bare hands to use
Taehokwon.

Hwang Jiho must have been excited to meet a successor skilled in Taehokwon he
seemed excited and gleeful as he performed Taehokwon.

The sight of him was amazing and crazy.

‘Taehokwon is forgotten over Taekwondo and is recorded as a traditional form of

martial arts only in history, so it must have been a long time since he last met a
successor.’

The outcome of the match was the yellow tiger’s win.

Due to the crazy acts of the yellow tiger, the rumor that class zero students were a
bunch of psychos started again.

“Do you think Hwang Jiho will join the Taehokwon club?”

Hanyi seemed angry as she spoke.

“I’m not too sure. But he might barge in and ask for a match if he’s bored.”

Hwang Jiho who was negligent on school affairs probably wouldn’t even know that
the Taehokwon existed.

He will naturally find out if Hanyi joins the Taehokwon club.

Based on Hwang Jiho’s reaction during the first class, it seemed like he would
request for a match whenever he got bored.

“I will win him next time.”

Hanyi’s eyes were determined.

But her opponent was the yellow tiger of the tiger clan.

He wasn’t demoted like the white or red tiger and fully sustained his title as the tiger
clan of the myth faction.

Her opponent was too strong.

Even so, I decide to root for her.

“Yes, I’ll root for you.”

Just when Hanyi opened her mouth to thank me.

Knock knock –

We heard someone knocking on both the front and back door of the class.

Hanyi who had detected a presence looked to the door.

It was impossible to open both doors at once so I answered.

“Come in.”

Whoosh

“Eushin, can we talk?”

“Jo Eushin, you here?”

The one who had opened the front door was Yoo Sanghee.

The one who had opened the back door was Yoo Sanghoon.

“……Did they come separately?”

The Year 1 Class 0 was located at the most corner of the building so it was near the
entrance of the building.
The back door was near to the corridor where Sanghoon’s class 1 was located.

So Sanghee and Sanghoon must have arrived simultaneously without bumping into
each other.

The two seemed to have finally realized the other.

“Why are you here.”

“What a way to talk to your sister.”

“Why is a third year in a freshman’s class?”

“To meet Eushin.”

I had no idea why the two of them were here.

But having a third-year would attract attention.

Sanghee was not any third year but a top ranker who’s overall results were always
top ten in class and she was the student committee’s secretary.

‘Sanghee was a player who possessed a precious recovery skill. Of course, she would
be famous.’

Students who had spotted her started to gather.

Already, the surrounding was getting noisier.

“Senior Sanghee, hello. Sanghoon, hey. But what are you both doing here…”

I wanted to quickly hear them out to send them back.

At my question, the two siblings answered me in perfect unison.

“Eushin, would you like to join the school committee?”

“Jo Eushin, wanna join the basketball club?”

I was speechless by their sudden offer.

“Student Committee? That place works like a dog. Why would you ask Jo Eushin to
join?”

“What a way to phrase things. Eushin doesn’t seem interested in basketball, so

wouldn’t it be better to join the student committee that will help his future.”

“What are you even saying. How would you know if Eushin is interested in basketball
or not.”

It was hard to interfere.

“Oh, it’s the strong wind of recovery skill possessor, senior Yoo Sanghee!”

“Didn’t she appear on TV sometimes? For being blessed by the top Araceae.”

“She looks better in real life.”

“She was Sanghoon’s sister… maybe we should ask him to introduce us…”

“Strong wind of recovery skill, the light of wind that heals. What a fitting name.”

No.

Sanghee’s player name was the strong wind of recovery.

But the character they referred to in her name referred to her name wasn’t referring
to light, but madness. Those reckless first years need to learn how to read better.

Meanwhile, Sanghee was listening to the conversation where she was being
discussed.

She brushed her long hair to the side and turned sideways to give them a neat smile.

“Wow……!”
“Ohhhh.”

“She’s pretty…”

The reaction was explosive.

Sanghoon who had witnessed this made a face of devastation, as though he had seen
an enemy coming to attack.

“Will you please, just leave.”

Sanghoon rubbed his arms as if he had goosebumps.

Sanghee didn’t react and smiled but I’m sure when they got home he wouldn’t
receive a hard slap worth skill level 3 to his back.

In the end, what ended this situation was the class bell.

[Amazing grace how sweet the sound-]

Today’s class bell must be coordinated by the choir committee.

Amazing Grace from the morning.

It was an unusual choice.

The sweet voice of the soprano without any instrument accompaniment changed the
whole feeling in the classroom.

“Well. Think about it and feel free to contact me Eushin.”

“See you later Eushin.”

“Okay senior Sanghee. Bye Sanghoon.

After the two finally returned, and the morning assembly ended.

Ham Geun Hyeong called out to me.

“Do you want to join the Leader’s committee?”

This was the third offer for today.

The student’s committee required an interview process after applying or being

recommended.

The leader’s committee needed a recommendation from a professor.

It had only been a week but it seems like I had given Ham Geun Hyeong a good
impression.

‘Was it because I survived the entrance exam? Or saved Lee Lena? Or because of
Bang Yoon sub?

Or could it possibly be all three?

The only freshman students to have received these recommendations would

probably be Soohyuk, Dain, and myself.

“Thank you for the recommendation. Would it be alright if I took some time to think
about it?”

For unexpected events, the best thing to do was buy time.

“Sure. Think about it.”

The official deadline to submit a committee application was the end of this week.

It was still possible afterward, but the process was complicated.

I had to decide within a week.

***

As usual, straight after class, I ran to Cheon Ak San.

I wasn’t able to meet Cotton wool but I met someone else.

It was the main heroine of this world, An Dain.

“An Dain…!”
I was running at full speed along the walking route.

She jumped down from the branch of a pine tree and greeted hello as she dusted off
the pine leaves from her hand.

“Hi… You’re Jo Eushin from Year 1 Class 0 right?”

I assumed we would bump into each other one day, but I didn’t think it would be
until March was over.

Dain and I had no commonality, so the only reason she talked to me must be Yuri.

“I heard a lot about you from Yuri. I heard both of you have been friends since
young?”

“Yup!”

Dain smiled more brightly and beautifully than the flowers blooming behind her.

If Soohyuk saw Dain now he would probably trip and fall again.

“I heard about you from Yuri too. That the nameless supernova is in class 0. Yuri is
the class lead and you’re the vice lead right?”

Dain must treat Yuri as a precious friend.

She was what they commonly referred to as a self-made success.

Her family was below average and there weren’t any players in her area.

There were only two types of people around her.

Those blinded by jealousy over Dain’s beauty and intelligence.

Or those who looked up to her as a god.

‘She didn’t have anyone to call a friend before she met Yuri.’

She met Yuri who transferred into her primary school and her world changed.
The two became best friends, and their friendship continued to their secondary
school and now to Eunkwang high.

“Have you heard anything from Yuri?”

Dain was unable to understand why Yuri volunteered to join class 0.

Because Yuri hides her fears about her esteemed ability even as she dies.

Especially from Dain.

“I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong about class zero. It’s just… I don’t
understand why Yuri would volunteer to go there……”

As a gamer, I knew the reason but decided to change the topic.

“The classrooms are nice because they’re big and wide.”

“Hmm?”

“My class has less than twenty students, and most of them don’t even come to class.”

Dain’s face darkened.

She realized I wasn’t going to give her the answer she wanted.

“Why does it matter whether you’re in the same class or not. You and Yuri are friends
regardless.”

Dain’s face brightened up slightly at these words.

After seeing Dain relax, I decided to ask her what had been bugging me all this while.

“Have you seen a dog around here?”

“A dog?”

“It’s a dog with white fur…”

“Oh, I saw someone walking it. It seemed to have discomfort in its legs but it was
cute like Cotton wool.”

What.

My mind was puzzled.

No, there might be a similar dog that looked like Cotton wool.

I tried to stay positive.

“I think that’s a dog I know. What does the owner look like?”

“I can’t recall cause I bumped into him while I was training… only that it was a male.”

My positivity dissipated.

Seeing her smile I was certain.

There couldn’t’ be another white dog with a limping leg that could make Dain smile
like that.

Cotton wool must already belong to someone else.

Why? Why did things change from the game?

‘A male owner… I couldn’t even make a wild guess.’

Dain wouldn’t have paid any attention to the dog owner so it will be hard to find out
who the owner is.

Maybe things will be okay since Dain isn’t the one raising Cotton wool so it won’t be
subjected to danger.

This brought an end to my futile search for Cotton wool.

Although I think I might still run Cheon Ak San as it was fun.

***

Freshman dormitory building.

I was heading to my room through the 17th level shared common resting lounge.

Someone who had been engaged in a conversation with the rest, who were watching
a real variety show via the huge screen that made up one of the walls of the common
lounge, stood up.

“Eushin!”

It was the Jiik committee head, Siwan.

“Are you busy? Can I drop by your room?”

I didn’t know what it was about but I didn’t have any pressing excuses to decline the
Jiik committee head.

“Ya. Sure.”

Siwan picked up the biggest and fancifully packed box from the table in front of him
and stood up.

“Alright, I’m off. Don’t stay up too late you guys.”

“Yup. Thank you for the snacks.”

“Bye Siwan, see ya.”

“Let’s go, teacher.”

What, teacher?

Looking closely in one corner of the common resting lounge.

Kim Shin Rok, the homeroom teacher of Year 1 class 1 was there.

He was pressing a thumbtack into a pamphlet and securing it to the cork

noticeboard.

He must be putting those up in consideration of those who preferred paper over the
holograms.
He kept the remaining thumb tacks and followed Siwan and me to my room.

‘Kim Shin Rok must have something he wants to discuss as well’.

“The graduating Jiik committee members brought us way too many snacks, so I
brought some over to share with the freshmen. This is especially for you.

It was a box neatly wrapped in traditional parchment.

It had a font printed in a calligraphy style and read “Moon Rabbit Rice Cake’.

It was a luxury store that specialized in rice cakes and was operated by the rabbit
clan form the royal lineage.

It was a gift set from that store.

‘It takes over a month to make a reservation and one box should be worth a few
hundred!’

I opened the box and there were various sized rice cakes wrapped individually.

Baekseolgi, Bupyeon, Songpyeon, Injeolmi, Sirutteok… there were even some rice
cakes that I didn’t know.

“It’s the Jiik hall’s tradition to eat rice cakes during the dormitories orientation and
on the day you move in, but you didn’t come. And I felt bad about the incident from
that day and how I made you say it was a prank.”

It was thanks to Siwan that Lena’s attempted suicide was forgotten without causing
any gossip, but he must have been feeling bad about it all this while.

But why was Kim Shin Rok here?

“Oh, I was on the way when I bumped into him, and he said he wanted to come too.
Professor Kim Shin Rok is the advisor for the Jiik committee.”

“I’m only an advisor by name. All I do is approve documents.”

‘Did the Jiik committee have an advisor?’

I wasn’t all too familiar with the Jiik committee.

There were hundreds of characters in the game but in Eunkwang high, there were at
least two thousand students and staff attending Eunkwang high.

Of course, there were some things not referred to in the game.

‘Siwan was an example. A character whose name didn’t even appear.’

“The falling concrete floor in Fullmago incident’

The incident… that led to mass deaths in the character, the devastating scenario that
had no dream or hope.

It was during a conversation from this incident where the Jiik committee was first
referred to.

[What happened to everyone from the Jiik committee?]

[…They all died.]

After that, no one spoke about the Jiik committee so it was impossible to know what
had happened.

Kim Shin Rok looked at me and spoke with a benevolent look.

“I owe you my life, I’m sorry for thanking you so late.”

“Professor Kim Shin Rok?”

“During the entrance practical exam, you lured the enemy away from me.”

I assumed that the invigilator was dead and planned my strategy as such.

I simply lured it away because I wanted the corpse to at least be in one piece even if
it was dead.

I wasn’t sure if that counted as saving his life.

“Anyone would have done the same in that situation.”

“I’m sure you know that isn’t true.”

Was he referring to Son Minki?

I think he was just the odd one out.

Kim Shin Rok thanked me again with a smile as I stood awkwardly.

“Eushin. Thank you, truly.”

After that, we engaged in a casual conversation.

The taste of the sweet capsule coffee and the moon rabbit rice cake that melted in
my mouth.

I was rather shy as Siwan added on words of encouragement.

Kim Shin Rok continued to share praises.

Even though it was a conversation between a professor and a senior, excluding the
awkwardness when they showered me with praises, it was a comfortable catch up.

“I should go now. Rest up.”

“Yes, goodbye.”

We decided to part ways as the night started creeping in.

Kim Shin Rok shared his wearable device code and told me to contact him if I ever
needed anything.

Before we parted ways, Siwan left me with a question.

“Do you want to join the Jiik committee?”

“I’ll think about it.”

I repeated the same phrase I used multiple times today and said goodbye to Siwan.

I cleared away the empty paper cups and the box of rice cakes and was about to
bring out and turn on the robot vacuum cleaner that was in my bedroom.

When suddenly the living room felt cold.

I looked towards the balcony and saw that it was open.

Someone was standing on the edge of my 17th-floor balcony.

‘What…!’

As a reflex, I was about to bring out my esteemed ability but stopped.

Right now I was a player.

Even without my detection skill, my senses were pretty sensitive and acute.

On top of that my specialized skill would sound an alarm if the enemy was nearby.

‘Is that…… ’

The opponent was not an enemy so I couldn’t detect their presence without
activating my esteemed ability.

It was someone who could get past Eunkwang High’s security barriers without being
affected.

I was quickly able to narrow it down and guess who it might be.

“Hello, student Jo Eushin.”

It was hard to think that he was a royal lineage when he was being so respectful.

My guess wasn’t wrong.

“Nice to meet you, Red tiger.”

He was the divine tiger whose name was erased from the Myth of Geacheon.

He was the Legend faction’s lineage, Red tiger.

A Jeokho stood on a balcony railing less than half a span.

‘It must be using the Jeokyeon (赤煙) skill right now.’

The red fog around the tiger was an effect that appeared when using Jeokyeon, a skill
that makes the user invisible and increases defense.

They are trying to prevent being recorded by the CCTV monitoring the exterior wall
of the dormitory.

“We received a message from Hwangho. I would like to respond to the transaction
proposed by student Eui-shin Cho.”

“Thank you. In addition to the deal, I’d like to ask you one thing.”

Jeok-ho was deceived by the grieving old lady and committed a deadly sin.

Jeok-ho thought protecting the students from the Silver Light school was part of the
atonement for his sins.

‘I shouldn’t be the one that needs protection.’

Jeokho, a specialist in information collection, seemed to protect me and had the

potential to hide important information.

“Please let me accompany you when dealing with that teacher.”

“An unknown supernova. It is said that you defeated an R+ Wanted Enemy, but the
other person is a teacher in the Silver Light school and is associated with the Ung
Tribe. Having a student take on a dangerous job……”

He took out an item card.

On the day of the dream auction, a failed item received from Ungnyeo.
‘The weight of wealth and life’

It was the item that symbolized Jinwoong Palsun’s will to destroy the gods.

In other words, it is proof that he survived even facing Jin Woong Palsun.

“I’m okay.”

The moment Jeokho saw the card in my hand, red lightning flashed and struck the
night sky.

Screams were heard all over the dorm.

Jeokho, standing in front of the red lightning, jumped off the balcony and walked in
front of me.

“What are you thinking?”

A student who belongs to the new area of Silver Light school and is the subject of
protection.

A player who survives face-to-face with the Ung tribe and passes information to
himself.

The conflict between the two facts made Joekho appear confused.

His blunt face was harder than usual.

“I will tell you the name of the teacher. Please conduct a survey of the teacher’s
property list and the list of students responsible for the special admissions
personality interview. I will plan the operation according to the results of the
investigation.”

“Student Cho Eui-shin……”

“Please listen to my strategy and decide whether to accompany me.”

Jeokho alternately looked at the “wealth and weight of life” item card in his hand and
his face.
It took a little time, but he nodded a little.

“……Okay.”

It was done.

“And I also want to know the identity of a parent.”

“Is it related to this job?”

“Yes, a little.”

Considering the behavior of the parents, there will be a high probability of a

relationship.

There seems to be no direct connection though.

“The teacher’s name is Pyeon-deuk Choi. The parent’s child’s name is Irena. When
the investigation is over, please contact me through the device.”

Finally, he asked what he had in his heart.

“Do you like black?”

“……No, not really.”

Jeokho, who had been hardened by his words, made a stupid face for a moment.

‘When he appeared in the game, he always wore dull black clothes.’

Looking at his outfit today, he seemed to care about fashion, but why did it look like
that in the game?

There were fans who said that they liked it.

Was it bothersome to knit a new game polygon and choose a costume color because
it was a national trash game?

With such impolite thoughts, he saw Jeokho off.

 ***

The mysterious red lightning that struck in the middle of the night became a hot
topic for a while.

However, because there were no casualties, people thought someone’s abilities went
berserk for a little bit, and the incident was quickly buried.

It’s was just added to the numerous incidents in the Silver Light schools’ incidents.

“Hwang Ji-ho, thank you.”

“Did you talk to Jeokho?”

“Thanks to you.”

Before the ordinance begins.

Only Hani was in self-study in the front seat in the classroom.

Hani couldn’t hear through her ears, but she lowered her voice a little and chatted
with Hwang Ji-ho.

“Okay, I brought snacks with my gratitude.”

“Oh, this is a moon rabbit rice cake. Every year, I eat well because of the rice cakes
the moon rabbits send.”

Hwang Ji-ho brightened his eyes and accepted the wrapped rice cake.

‘It turns out that the Ho tribe and the To tribe were allies.’

The moon rabbit rice cake set received from Seong Si-wan was so much to eat alone,
so he shared the remaining rice cakes with Kim Yu-ri and Han-i.

Everyone admired the taste of the rice cake, but Hwang Ji-ho in particular enjoyed
the taste throughout the break, his eyes shining.

It was a piece of very useless information, but he found out that the 5,000-year-old
old man loves rice cake very much.
After the ordinance was over, he visited Ham Geun-hyung.

It was a contrast to yesterday where he called him out.

“Mr. Ham Geun-hyung.”

There was no one in the passage leading out of the first-grade building.

“Cho Eui Shin……? Looking at the expression, it doesn’t look like you want to join the
leadership department.”

What was his expression like for him to say that?

Like Sang-hoon Yoo, there seems to be quite a bit of mention about his expression.

He didn’t think that the emotions are particularly revealed on his face.

“You have a face that has something to think about.”

He read his mind again.

Ham Geun-hyung was very tactful.

“I’d like to ask you something.”

“Okay. I understand.”

Did he even know what he was going to ask for to accept it right away?

He stared at him.

“How long do you think I’ve been a player or a teacher? Among the old disciples,
there was a guy that was like you Cho Eui-shin. Admissions practical exam, the Irena
case, the Bang Yoon-seop case. I know just by looking at those three.”

Ham Geun-hyung had his eyes looking at somewhere far away and nostalgic.

Even considering his previous age, Ham Geun-hyung was definitely older.

He didn’t know if it was knowledge about games, but he will have a greater degree of
experience when it comes to dealing with people.

“Tell me, Cho Eui-shin. Do you need my help?”

He felt a little moved.

Ham Geun-hyung was a playable character in the game.

Among the teachers, he was the quickest to understand and help Joo Soo-hyuk and
An da-in.

‘When I saw it in the game, I thought about where in the world there was a teacher
who could communicate this much.’

Both Jegal Jae-gul and Kim Shin-rok are good teachers, but they died early in the
game, so they did not contribute much.

Ham Geun-hyung survived for a relatively long time and, from the perspective of a
teacher, lent his hand without thinking deeply about any help he could give.

“I will explain in detail with the device.”

He asked before leaving Ham Geun-hyung.

“Who was that old student?”

Similar to him.

He was a little worried.

“……The guy who made Jiikhoe 15 years ago.”

Was he talking about the student council president who drove out the board director
and the dormitory director?

Since Ham Geun-hyung answered and turned his back, he couldn’t see what
expression he had while talking.

***
Jeokho’s findings arrived in one day.

The three materials he asked for.

A list of students in charge of the special screening personality interview of Choi

Pyeon-deuk.

Choi Pyeon-deuk’s property details.

Irena’s parents’ identity.

The personality interviews also indicated whether they passed or failed, and among
the four passing candidates, there were names he was looking for.

Two illegal admissions.

One student who is inferior to those who were admitted for illegally.

The remaining one is the playable character Maeng Hyo-don.

‘Out of these four, the only student who can get into the Silver Light school is Maeng
Hyo-don.’

The special screening is determined by the achievements of the preliminary player

in the Youth Sports Competition.

Maeng Hyo-don was one of the strongest who confronted Joo Soo-hyuk several times
in the finals.

Currently, however, Maeng Hyo-don has never been to school and has been sold as a
fighting slave to the “Fight Club” run by Choi Pyeon-deuk to pay off his father’s
entertainment debt.

‘The reason he passed Maeng Hyo-don was to sell the brand of being an active Silver
Light student.’

Maeng Hyo-don only had his father after his mother passed at an early age.

The unemployed father used up the remaining wealth with alcohol, gambling, and
entertainment, and used abusive language and violence on Maeng Hyo-don.
‘Maeng Hyo-don wasn’t exactly smart, but he was excellent at physical things that
used his body and cherished his only family.’

Because of that, Maeng Hyo-don just listened to his father’s swear words and
suffered violence without rebuke.

He participated in the sports competitions to earn money for his father’s liquor.

‘Pyun-deuk Choi knew that Maeng Hyo-don’s father was going through the gambling
house, and he thought that his excellent fighting skills would bring in money. He
seems to have a good idea of how to make money.’

I’ll use this one to save him.

If it is as planned, in the second year, Joo Soo-hyuk destroys the fight club and saves
Maeng Hyo Don.

In addition to that, like the great-grandson of the Chuo Group, he even pays off all the
debts of Maeng Hyo-don in a cool way.

‘I have no intention of waiting until then.’

The next thing he checked was the list of Choi Pyeon Deuk’s properties.

The first thing he checked were five buildings owned by Choi Pyeon-deuk in the
Silver Light District.

‘There is an Ung tribe in one of these five places. I have to deal with it along with
Choi Pyeon-deuk.’

Choi Pyeon deuk was a son of a bitch, but he wasn’t incompetent.

Although he has a bad reputation among students, he has excellent administrative

ability, and his ability to manipulate documents is fantastic.

‘In terms of ability alone, the Choi Pyeon Deuk is several times higher than Byeon
Sun Hoe of the Dream Gate.’

Choi Pyeon-deuk knew how to get along with the board of directors, be weak to the
strong, and hide his malice from a righteous teacher like Jegal Jae-gul.
He was regarded as a sincere teacher with excellent administrative work ability,
although his class evaluation was poor among teachers.

And in this case, the Ung was deeply involved, and they were not bystanders like
Ung-nyeo of grief.

‘The plan is ready to solve this case.’

He organized the plans he had thought of and sent them to Jeokho.

Jeok-ho sent an OK sign, although it took some time to answer.

[Today, it is expected to rain all over the country. In particular, in Seoul and Gyeonggi
provinces, heavy rains with strong winds, thunder, and lightning are expected from
the evening, so care should be taken to avoid rain damage. The Seoul-Gyeonggi
Airbus Corporation has announced that it will stop operating Airbus from 9 am.
From the daytime tomorrow, the rain will stop and the chilly flower spring will
continue…]

Shhhhhh-

Friday morning.

He heard rain pouring out the window of his dorm room.

He wondered if it would stop later, but when he checked the forecast, the forecast
says rain would not stop tonight and it would actually be coupled with strong winds
and thunder.

‘It’s raining too much.’

Today is the day he decided to meet Jeokho and attack Choi Pyeon Deuk.

In the worst case, he was willing to risk embarrassment and show the world again,
the “The Red Monster.”

Because of the rain, The Red dragon’s power will be halved, and Yum Jun-yeol’s
condition will be poor so his level will drop.

‘Even if there is no red monster, there are other means.’

He took his umbrella and headed to school.

Today is the last day of the application date for sub-activities.

It was also a day when he had to respond to the invites for the sub-activities he had
received.

He tried to respond to the Yu’s sibling’s recommendation by sending a message with

his device.

However, Yoo Sang-hee said that she would come to the classroom to see each
other’s faces, and Yoo Sang-hoon came to him immediately before saying anything
because he was closeby in the next classroom.

“I decided to join another club. I’m sorry even though you gave me an invite, Senior
Yoo Sang-hee. I’m sorry, Yoo Sang-hoon.”

Eventually, he had to go face to face and reject Yoo Sang-hee’s student council and
Yoo Sang-hoon’s recommendation to the basketball team.

“Why are you apologizing. If you want to play basketball, come to play anytime.”

From the beginning, Yoo Sang-hoon wasn’t very greedy.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a side activity if it’s playing basketball together.

Yoo Sang-hee looked a little disappointed, however.

“Yes, I’m fine. Rather, I’m sorry for making you apologize like this.”

Those who were watching Yoo Sang-hee from afar booed me in a playful way.

It is the sound of resentment that shaded her neat face.

“And call me Sanghee noona, Euishin.”

Woooooo-

Suddenly, the sound of resentment grew.

He didn’t think it was done in a playful manner this time.

Yoo Sang-hoon stumbled with a dark expression as if swallowing mold.

“She said Sang-hee noona. Sanghee noona…… Ouch!”

Yoo Sang-hee pretended to lean on Yoo Sang-hoon’s arm and stabbed his side with
her hand.

He decided to rescue poor Yoo Sang-hoon.

He would get beat up when he goes home either way but.

“Sang-hee noona. It’s raining, and you have to take the ground bus so it’s not too late.
Please head on home.”

“……Yeah! Euishin. See you next time.”

“Yes, goodbye.”

He wasn’t ready to call a high school student hyung or noona yet.

If he thought of this as a senior who attended this school before him, he didn’t care
about the age, so calling them a senior was okay.

‘It’s subtle…… ’

Anyway, Yoo Sang-hee disappeared with a satisfied face.

Yoo Sang-hoon muttered ‘he said Sang-hee noona’ without knowing my efforts and
looked at me with his eyes looking at a moldy bread.

Okay. Go home and get beat up by Yoo Sang-hee.

After seeing the Yu siblings off and entering the first-grade class 0 classroom, there
was still time until the ordinance.

Only four students attended school today, whose class ‘On-time attendance’ of the
1st grade was unclear.
Due to the small number of people, we, who became quite friendly, chatted on the
topic of sub-activities.

“I was asked by Dain to join the student council. Even when I was in girls’ middle
school, I was a member of the student council.”

When he was in middle school, Andain was the student council chairman and Kim
Yuri was the student vice president.

Because she has experience in student council activities, he thought Kim Yu-ri
decided to join the student council with Andain.

‘Is the student association then Yoo Sang-hee, Kim Yu-ri, and Anda-in?’

Then, he thought Joo Soo-hyuk will enter the leadership team just like in the game.

Since the leadership team missed Andain, Joo Soo-hyuk will never be let go.

“Hani entered the Taehokwon small group, right?”

“Yeah. I decided on the first day.”

Hani nodded at Kim Yuri’s question.

This was as expected.

The problem was the one remaining, Hwang Jiho.

He decided to use this flow to figure out where he was going.

“Hwang Ji-ho, where are you going?”

“It’s troublesome to decide, so I’ll go wherever you go.”

Was he planning on following him?

He had a face that he hated blatantly, but Hwang Jiho seemed to like his expression
very much.

“Take care of me well in the sub-activities.”

Ruined.

Even if he hides where he will go from here, he will be able to check the documents
for sub-activities with the authority of the chairman at any time.

In addition, even after this week, the period of membership in the club, mid-term
membership is recognized if the sub-activities advisors and executives of the sub-
activities approve.

It seemed that going into the same sub-activity as Hwang Jiho was all but certain.

“……okay.”

But if he moved with him, he might end up being useful in some way or another.

Hwang Ji-ho asked as not knowing what he was thinking on the inside, with shining
his eyes.

“So where are you going? Cho Eui-shin.”

There were a total of four places where he got an offer.

Student Association, Basketball Team, Leadership Team, Intellectual Association. He

declined all offers.

“The newspaper department.”

Hwang Ji-ho and Kim Yu-ri both expressed surprises at his answer.

He had no intention of going into the sub-activities either, but he couldn’t help it.

Meanwhile, the class bell rang.

‘Today’s first-class is the Jeux d’eau from the label, the play of water.’

A melody that sounds like a water fairy dancing on a piano keyboard.

Listening to this song and watching the rain outside the window made him feel
comfortable.
‘If I think about what’s going to happen in the future, I hope the rain stops quickly……
’

It was the first day it rained after attending the Silver Light High school.

It seemed like the broadcasting department prepared the first rain special class,
there were only songs related to rain and water.

‘The school is peaceful.’

As time passed, the rain became stronger and stronger.

***

23 o’clock.

It is the time he promised with Jeokho.

Outside, the recommendation to ban the use of air boards and air shuttles fell, and
the Air Hotel was also hitting thunder and lightning due to severe rain and wind that
landed on the hotel site.

‘He arrived right on time.’

Jeokho appeared in front of his balcony right on time.

Because Jeokho was wrapped in Jeokyeon, he had neither an umbrella nor a

raincoat, but he wasn’t wet at all.

“Student Cho Eui-shin, do you really intend to accompany me?”

Hearing and agreeing to my strategy, but still hesitating.

One hour later, it is the birthday of Choi Pyeon-deuk or X-Day where they will
execute the operation.

He was going to use his birthday party to score points with Jeokho.

“Yes. I want to give him a birthday present…… No, I want to give him more than that.”
There was also a ‘bonus’ to attain as well.
There are many ways to insult the pride of a group.

A method that has been used frequently since ancient times is to defile the group’s
land and symbols.

A typical example is tearing the flag or overturning their family graves and building a
facility on top of it.

Silver Light district, Seoul was an area that belonged to the tiger tribe.

In the Silver Light district, Silver Light High school was the center of the area.

The Ung tribe, hating the gods, newcomers, and the tiger tribe, tried to insult the
new areas, Silver Light district, and Silver Light High school.

“Did you know student Cho Eui-shin? That dirty work was being done right in front
of our tiger tribe’s new area, Silver Light high school.”

If Jeokho, an expert in information gathering, targets Choi Pyeon deuk, he would

have figured out everything.

A small red spark crackled around Jeokho, who couldn’t hold back his emotions.

“To think a teacher in the Silver Light high school would do that……!”

Choi Pyeon-deuk was secretly operating several decadent businesses in front of the
Silver Light high school.

As a teacher of the high school, he had high credibility and had many connections, so
it was easy to deceive the eyes of Silver Light district Office and Seoul Metropolitan
Office of Education.

“There was no clear evidence.”

If the game progressed normally, the protagonist and the party will succeed in
purifying the Silver Light district around next year.

From a gamer’s standpoint, it was clear that Choi Pyeon-deuk was the culprit, but
the protagonist and the party missed all of the evidence.

So he had to be more cautious.

“There is a high possibility that Choi Pyeon-deuk is holding hands with other tribes
besides the Ung.”

Crack-!

He saw a red lightning strike through the balcony window.

Like last time, he heard screams all over the dorm.

“If Jin Woong Palsun joins forces, it will be possible to break through the barriers of
the high school and infiltrate an Enemy after turning hurting a teacher in a short
time. However, the only thing that Jinwoong Palsun is related to is the disappearance
of the Sawol Seum.”

And now, of the unsuccessful attempts to annihilate the deities, two of Jinwoong
Palsuns have lost their minds, and three are in deep sleep.

There is no room for them to attempt to breach the Silver Light high school barrier.

The same is true of the disappearance of Sawol Seum.

Excluding for the fact that Ung Nyeo of grief made a sterling silver coin of oath of
silence and sold it to the Hwanmong auction, the greatest power of the Ung,
Jinwoong Palsuns becomes virtually irrelevant.

“One of the Jin tribes belonging to the Alliance of the 12 must have betrayed the
Tiger tribe.”

The Alliance of the 12.

About 100 years ago, the first alien conflict occurred on this Korean Peninsula.
As the Jin tribes existed in this world and the room for intervention increased, the Jin
tribes, the incarnations of 12 animals revered on the Korean Peninsula, established a
non-aggression treaty on the Korean Peninsula.

‘The Jin tribes belonging to the alliance decided to create a barrier. ’

The Alliance of the 12 contributed to the creation of defensive barriers that would
protect the foundation of their Jin tribes.

The defensive barrier of this Silver Light high school, where the gods of the Tiger
tribe came down, was a joint work of the Alliance of the 12.

In other words, the intrusion that occurred during the Silver Light high school
entrance examination practical test was the result of someone among the Jin tribes
belonging to the Alliance of the 12 betraying the Tigers and siding with the Ung.

“……You even know about the Alliance of the 12.”

Jeok-ho closed his eyes for a moment and pondered. Somehow, the appearance of
being immersed in that thought reminded him of Ung nyeo in grief.

It was a very short time, but when he was thinking, Jeokho replied.

“Okay, Cho Eui-shin. Let us go together.”

The title was changed from ‘ Student Cho Eui-shin’ to ‘Cho Eui-shin’.

He guessed he made up his mind about how to treat him.

Jeokho will treat him as a player to solve this case in the future.

He replied with a willing smile.

“Thank you very much. Jeokho.”

***

Education Environment Protection Act, abbreviated Education Environment Act.

The enforcement decree of this law stipulates “educational environment protection

areas” and “school purification areas”.

An area up to 50 meters in a straight line from the school entrance is an absolute

protected area, and an area up to 200 meters in a straight line from the school
boundary, except for an absolute protected area, is a relatively protected area.

In other words, 200 meters around the Silver Light high school on the roughly 400-
acre school site is an educational environment protection area.

In order to protect the health, hygiene, and safety of students and the learning and
educational environment, some facilities and businesses are prohibited from
entering this area.

‘It’s closer to the school than expected.’

On the ground corresponding to the educational environment protection zone.

A mansion across from an ordinary building without a sign.

On the roof, He and Jeokho were standing.

‘Even if you check with the map built into the device, that building is in the school
purification area.’

In front of the school, an educational environment protection zone.

Just thinking that there was a decadent establishment established by a teacher here
hurt his head.

‘It is illegal even if it is not an educational environment protection zone. He has some
balls.’

It wasn’t that he had balls, it almost seemed like he was crazy.

What are you doing at the area where the mythical Tiger tribe is located, even if the
Ung had his back? When Joo Soo-hyuk, who became a sophomore in the game,
attacked to get Maeng Hyo-don, he didn’t know that it was this close because there
was only a description that he was near the Silver Light high school.

“Cho Eui-shin, what are you going to do?”

“Of course, we have to go inside.”

“Will you use Jeokyeon to enter?”

Jeokho had brought him to this point using Jeokyeon to protect him.

‘Thanks to it, I didn’t feel a single drop of rain even during this storm.’

If he used Jeokyeon to infiltrate like this, they will not be able to see him.

But for his plan, he had to show himself.

“Yes. Until we get inside. After that, I’ll fool their eyes with my Kwanglim. I will use it
right now in advance.”

This would be the first time he would be using Kwanglim in front of someone else,
but if it was Jeokho, he could trust him.

Wearing a mask prepared in advance and a modulator that changed the tone of his
voice, he used Kwanglim.

The character he was going to use today was well-known, so he needed to hide his
face and voice.

<Using Kwanglim, ‘Players trajectory’.>

A character card flowed out of his fingertips, then turned into light and wrapped
around his body.

Jeokho, who covered his face with a mask, realized that his physique and overall stat
level had changed significantly, and his eyes widened a little.

“Let’s go.”

He and Jeokho covered in Jeokyeon, completely erased their appearance and tracks,
and entered the building easily.

This was a power of the Jin tribe after all.

It was regrettable that Jeokho was not a playable character.

If he could use a player’s trajectory, stealth and information collection would be a
piece of cake.

***

The inside of the building owned by Choi Pyeon-deuk, which was an ordinary
building in appearance, was unexpected.

Camouflage offices up to the 4th floor.

From the 5th floor, it was only possible to enter the special elevator by providing a
password.

‘He certainly put in a lot of work.’

This place was operated entirely by membership.

The fifth floor was a gambling room.

The sixth floor was escort services.

The seventh floor was a fight club.

The eighth floor was a VIP room.

Above all that was the rooftop.

The whole building was very corrupt.

It was a revised version of the word, meaning that the customs and discipline were
all messed up.

Cigarette smell was everywhere, and people enjoying the corruption and
entertainment while drinking alcoholic beverages and champagne were overflowing.

‘I guess doing this in front of the most prestigious high school in the country, your
sense of superiority and immorality will be heightened.’

Most of the members here were players.

However, all of them were weaker players than the Silver Light first grade students.

15% of the nation are players, but only about 500 of those players are capable of
attending Silver Light High school every year.

In other words, this building can be seen as a result of distorted desire and
inferiority.

Crack.

He heard the crackling sound of the Jeokho’s teeth, which was adjusted so that only
his eyes could see it through Jeokyeon, and when he turned around, he could see his
hands shaking softly.

A spark came out from Jeokho’s fingertips, who saw two people acting obscene right
in front of him.

“Don’t.”

He grabbed the fingertips of Jeokho and whispered quietly.

The physique of the person he transformed into now was similar to that of Jeokho, so
he could easily stop him.

“If you run wild here, even if we catch Choi Pyeon-deuk, we will lose the Ung and the
guests.”

He looked down at him with bloody eyes.

Jeokho let out a deep sigh and breathed deeply.

He replied after blinking his eyes very slowly.

“……Sorry.”

“It’s okay. Let’s hurry.”

It may seem a little unnatural, but he pushed the back of the invisible Jeokho and
climbed the stairs.
Luckily, Jeok-ho took control of his temper and just captured the scene in his eyes.

‘This is it.’

They arrived at the fight club on the 7th floor.

In the middle of the floor, there were large rings and holographic windows.

The holographic clock was counting the time left until midnight today.

‘I think they will start the game at midnight, right on the birthday of Choi Pyeon-
deuk.’

As he discussed with Jeokho in advance, they decided to split up and look around.

As he looked toward Jeokho, Jeokho nodded lightly to respond and disappeared.

‘Jeongho seems to have calmed down, so he’ll do well.’

He started moving for the ‘dom’ he was looking for.

While he was wandering the 7th floor of the fight club.

He saw a strange image of him reflected in the window.

Front tinted glass window to prevent the inside from being seen from the outside.

There was an image of himself borrowing the physique of an adult, wearing a crow
mask.

It looked very suspicious, but the majority of the people in this decadent building
were wearing masks, so it was not noticeable.

‘My head hurts…… ’

It was dizzying to see all kinds of nasty sights, but he had to find him before 12
o’clock.

Because of the partitions, he wandered for a few minutes on the maze-like floor.
Then he stopped at the most corner room on the floor.

He found the person he was looking for through the open door.

‘Found him……!’

For a boy at the age of 17, he was short.

‘He seems to be shorter than Sawol Seum. Even though I think he would weigh more
because of his muscles.’

The boy was mechanically taping over his fist, gazing out the rainy window. He had a
blank face, but when he looked at his sharp eyes, he was immediately recognized.

‘It’s no mistake, it’s Maeng Hyo-don.’

Maeng Hyo-don.

A boy whose father, who is the only family left, bears all the debts made by alcohol,
gambling, and women.

Maeng Hyo-don became a fight slave in the back alley through the scheme of the
teacher, Choi Pyeon-deuk.

‘Choi Pyeon-deuk that motherfucker…… ’

Fight Club is between players who became slaves.

Or between the Enemy and the player.

It was the place where the corrupt shitty hobby took place.

‘Did they make him wear a school uniform and fight?’

He, who was a fight slave, was wearing a school uniform.

Maeng Hyo-don was wearing a black shirt, a dark gray jacket, and a Silver Light
school uniform.

In addition, he wore an acrylic nameplate engraved with his name.

It will be to sell the Silver Light brand here.

Maeng Hyo-don, who had never participated in the entrance ceremony or class, was
fighting a lonely fight in his school uniform to pay off his father’s entertainment debt.

“What is this.”

Looking at the small seat Maeng Hyo-don was sitting on, he went into the
unprecedented waiting room and closed the door.

Maeng Hyo-don, who felt his presence, looked at him and said a word.

“Crazy, why are you looking at me with those eyes. Do you want to die? If you want to
be sympathetic, do that with money.”

Maeng Hyo-don, the headstrong boy, was a little rough. For the most swearing
headstrong boy, he decided to become an old man.

“You, why are you fighting in this place?”

“It’s not your business, so fuck off.”

“Debt is not inherited unless you want it. You know that? That children don’t have to
pay their parents’ debts.”

“What are you talking about, you old ass piece of shit!”

He jumped up from his seat. He had the momentum to run at him.

“Do you really think what you do now is filial piety? Giving your father money to buy
alcohol, to gamble, to buy pleasure?”

“……Shut up and get out of the way before I kill you!”

Maeng Hyo-don seemed to be furious but hesitating.

He must have felt it while fighting in this hell.

That the father only sees himself as a bank.

That he did not love him as a parent would a child.

“Why are you still here.”

One of the biggest reasons Maeng Hyo-don couldn’t get out of this hell.

Because he didn’t think there was anyone to help or save him.

Fighting genius Maeng Hyo-don is a 17-year-old boy who was raised by fighting the
battlefield without being loved at all from his parents, unable to adjust to school.

To appease that loneliness, he was holding on to a father and giving money to him.

‘I wish I could see other places.’

Maeng Hyo-don’s school uniform was clean and well ironed.

It must have gotten dirty and torn in the fight, but there were traces of sewing and
washing with poor skills.

He didn’t think it was because he wanted to show off to the crowd his Silver Light
school uniform in this messy battlefield.

“Don’t you want to go to school?”

Maeng Hyo-don distorted his face and lowered his head without an answer.

He took a long breath, then raised his head and shouted.

“You, Who are you, you bitch……!”

Here, it was necessary to gain the trust of Maeng Hyo-don.

A suspicious guy who doesn’t know his face or name helped him, and he’s not the
one who will accept the help and thank a stranger.

‘I have to honestly answer who I am.’

He had to risk revealing his identity.

But he believed in Maeng Hyo-don.

It is Maeng Hyo-don who served Joo Soo-hyuk with fierce loyalty until his death
because he was saved by him.

“Silver Light High School, first grader, 0 class, Cho Eui-shin, your class vice
president.”

He showed his Silver Light school electronic student ID.

In the remarks column on the bottom of the student ID, it was written as ‘Vice-
President for Grade 1 Class 0’.
“Our class…… Vice President……”

Maeng Hyo-don blankly looked at his student ID.

Unconsciously, he was grasping the hem of his blazer.

The stiff school uniform was pushed by his power and began to wrinkle.

“……Why would an asshole like the vice president come here for? And you, you look
different from your picture. You look really old for your age.”

“Of course I am in disguise. Hey, go to school. Our class attendance rate is too low.”

It was an adult character that he used as the target of the player’s trajectory to
infiltrate.

It was natural that the half-visible face between the mask and the body did not
appear as a first-year in high school

“Silver Light high school doesn’t care about the attendance, you graduate regardless.
Why are you caring about the attendance rate”

“Our homeroom teacher cares. I think the class leader also cares.”

“So what. I don’t even know both of their faces.”

“If you are curious, come and check it yourself.”

“Bitch, I am not curious.”

It was a conversation that the students in the ordinary 0 class of Silver Light would
share.
When he was thinking about that.

Maeng Hyo-don suddenly shut his mouth and bowed his head and said.

“Anyways I can’t. Fuck off.”

“I know. When you go outside, there is a ‘chase team’, right?”

Maeng Hyo-don trembled.

“……Did you know? The vice president, your personality is pretty dog shit.”

Maeng Hyo-don’s head gradually went down.

He handed out an item card to him.

“Break the biggest window and jump out of the ring right before you get in the ring.
Use this item card to land.”

The item card he gave him was the ‘Low-grade Wind Spirit’s Wing Powder’.

It gave the user the ability to fly in the air for 5 seconds.

It was an item used often when landing from a high place.

However, Maeng hyo don did not take the item card.

“You already know. The chase team! That dozens of Jin tribe bitches will chase after
me! I can’t go out or run away before I pay my debts……”

His words slowly faded away.

His spirit full of anger he felt when he saw him the first time was gradually fading.

“Maeng hyo don.”

He tapped Maeng Hyo-don’s shoulder.

His height was short, but his shoulders were full of muscles, like a master of fighting.
Still, he didn’t feel like he had energy.

Maeng Hyo-don was his playable character who went on to attack the other world
with a smile on his shoulder with Joo Su-hyuk.

He didn’t want to see something like this.

He tapped on the shoulder of Maeng Hyo-don to make him look up, and forced him
to hold the item card in his hand.

“After jumping down, run to the Silver Light school gate, the front gate.”

Maeng Hyo-don’s keen eyes, looking at him talking with confidence, were shaking a
little.

He no longer swore or blamed.

“It’s not just me. There are others……”

Maeng Hyo-don, who heard all of my words, had a look of distrust but was holding
the item card tightly.

***

As it approached midnight, the fight club on the 7th floor became busy.

The number of people gradually increased, and those dressed as waiters began to
carry champagne in glasses.

‘It looks like its starting soon.’

He mixed in with the others and sat on a sofa near the ring.

Fruit canapes and a glass of champagne were laid out naturally as he sat down.

On top of that, he shook his hand at the woman in the bunny girl outfit, who had
served him, trying to sit next to him and stared at the ring.

‘You use a minor as a fight slave in a fight club, and you drink and play with a woman
in front of him?’
In the game, it was censored, so there was no detailed description, and he did not
know well.

The dream auction guys at least pretended to be noble, but there was nothing like
that here.

No matter how much he dug, only more trash came out so would it be called
Trashtopia?

Even today, the world was wide and there was a lot of garbage.

‘It’s time.’

Midnight.

The date has changed.

As soon as the day changes, the mirror ball turns round and round with multiple
colors.

In line with the operation of the Mirror Ball, a happy birthday song that was crudely
remade with EDM flowed.

“Today is the owner’s birthday, everyone. It’s time to toast!”

People were greeted with cheers as the moderator, who had only a bow tie on with
briefs, climbed onto the ring.

He couldn’t believe what he had just seen.

‘Oh, my eyes!’

The strong should always give notice before they show off their intentions.

Where was the notice?

He closed his mouth and tried to think of beautiful things and good things in his
head.

‘I’m doomed, I can’t think of any,’

All he could remember was the head of Maeng Hyo-don, who couldn’t say anything
and was gripping the item card tightly.

While he was breathing deeply, a large hologram was deployed over the ring.

‘It’s Choi Pyeon-deuk……!’

In the screen, Choi Pyeon-deuk wore a mask with a birthday cake as a motif and was
dressed as ugly as the moderator.

When the happy birthday song was over, the moderator started again.

“There was an unpleasant incident in the New Year, but we are here avoiding all
danger. You guys know that this is all thanks to the owner right?”

Many of the guys here were involved in the dream auction.

It was a case where hundreds of people were caught at once.

Of course, there were people who escaped like Choi Pyeon-deuk, but there must have
been some who were treated generously.

‘It won’t be that way this time.

Excluding some of the employees, all of them are the players.

At least all the players will be permanently expelled, and those who have already
been permanently expelled will face criminal penalties.

“There will be a battle to commemorate the owner’s birthday! A Fight with a boy
player who fights against the Jin tribe with his bare hands!”

The shadow of Maeng Hyo-don was seen across the ring.

What he saw on the other side……

It was a monster that looked similar to Rinoseron that he had defeated on the
entrance exam.

“In the blue corner, the owner’s specially recruited the Ung’s pet beast! Pet-type
monster species, Rinoseron #109! It is said to be an Enemy that is several times
stronger than the one who attacked the Silver Light school’s practical exam!”

What did he just say?

Are all the people here even after they knew that the owner has a relationship with
the Ung, the ones responsible for the ambush on Silver Light’s practical exam?

He didn’t know that incident was boasted about like this.

“In the red corner, the guy who everyone who has loved Fight Club knows! A
superpower who survived even though his arm was almost cut off! The owner of the
stubbornness who stood on the ring until the end even though his stomach was
pierced, the madman who survived even though both legs were crushed by evil
spirits!”

They’ve made a first-year in high school fight to that extent.

The crazy guy wasn’t Maeng Hyo-don, but the guys here.

“In the red corner is South Korea’s best prestigious school elite player. From Silver
Light High school Maeng Hyo-don!

The spotlight shone on Maeng Hyo-don.

He didn’t get on the ring.

But he didn’t even run toward the window.

Maeng Hyo-don was just bowing his head under the dazzling light.

“……”

Is he hesitating now coming all this way?

He looked at Maeng Hyo-don with anxiety in the crowd.

‘What is he doing? Jump quickly!’

If Maeng Hyo-don does not escape here, the plan must be completely revised.
In some cases, it may be necessary to postpone the operation today.

It was not common for Choi Pyeon-deuk and the VIPs of all the businesses he ran to
gather in one place.

‘Once I postpone the plan, I would have to wait for half a year……!’

At that moment.

Maeng Hyo-don raised his head and shouted out loud.

A louder sound than the voice of the moderator talking with a microphone emanated
from the small body.

“I’m leaving now, you bastards!”

Maeng Hyo-don ran toward the front window like an animal.

Even though it was indoors, it seemed that he could hear the sound breaking
through the wind.

Crash!

“Kyahhh!”

“What, what happened!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

When Maeng Hyo-don broke the brightly colored tempered glass and jumped down,
the rain and wind began to rush into the room.

It happened so quickly that the audience screamed in the glass pieces and rain,
unable to escape.

‘Good job, Maeng Hyo-don!’

He stood up with a smile.

It was time for him to move in return for his courage.

He slowly walked towards the ring.

Little by little, he got closer to Choi Pyeon-deuk, who fluttered across the screen.

“How dare he…… Catch him! He doesn’t even know the grace of me feeding him and
giving him a place to sleep! Send a chase team out right now! Today’s show is going
to be a high school student show that will be eaten by the beast!”

“Owner, the chase team has left now!”

With the words of the moderator who turned on the device, he saw dozens of Enemy
start to run out of the broken window.

The Enemy were all part of the Jin tribe.

To be precise, the culprit who almost killed Kim Shin-rok, who was the supervisor at
the entrance exam for Silver Light, and released a pet-type beast in front of a middle
school student.

They are likely to be related to the ‘Beast trainer Ung tribe.’

‘It’s done.’

With this, the chase team protecting this building was removed.

The operation was progressing step by step as planned.

‘Cho Eui-shin, I have fulfilled all your instructions. This side is ready.’

Jeokho’s voice was heard from the earrings.

Hearing that, he jumped onto the ring.

The presenter, who had been talking with Choi Pyeon-deuk, looked at him and
looked confused.

“Oh, sir? You shouldn’t come up here……”

He saw Choi Pyeon-deuk in an ugly outfit smiling brightly behind the mask.
His eyes felt like it was rotting, but he was in a refreshed mood thinking of giving him
his birthday present.

“Owner, happy birth…… not happy birthday, but here is the gift regardless.”

His actions and his words were so strange.

Thanks to that, He guessed he was behind the escape incident that just happened.

Choi Pyeon-deuk, who was opening his mouth, made a loud voice.

“This, this, this rascal how dare you. Do you know who I am!”

“Of course. You are Choi Pyeon-deuk.”

When he said Choi Pyeon-deuk’s name, the whole floor was fluttered about.

Some were already ready for battle.

“Ho-How dare he mention the owner’s name!”

“Oh my!”

All you need, to do nasty behavior is anonymity.

And the owner who was in contact with the people of authority.

Is it because the guys here think that?

Choi Pyeon-deuk himself and his followers were angry, even though he only called
his name.

Some people were ready for battle.

However, fighting inside was strictly forbidden, so they hesitated and stared at him.

A similar situation developed when Joo Soo-hyuk started raging in the game.’

He kept talking to Choi Pyeon-deuk in the hologram.

“I know you are upstairs. Choi Pyeon-deuk.”

“Again, how dare you, how dare you call my name. Where do you think you are right
now! Who do you think I am! Huh, someone who doesn’t know anything. Alright,
come then!”

Excited Choi Pyeon-deuk woke up roughly from the seat.

His word “come then” seemed lax at first glance, but it was a remark that was heavily
calculated.

‘The VIP room is so thorough that it is difficult to penetrate even with Jeokho’s
Jeokyeon. There will also be an escape portal. The upper floor is the place that Choi
Pyeon-deuk made the most effort.’

Of course, he had no intention of going upstairs full of traps.

“Hey Choi Pyeon-deuk, you know this is an illegal building.”

Looking at the real estate register, this building is a simple shopping mall.

It was not a player accommodation building.

The building laws of this world are a little different from Korea as he knew them.

In this world, more rigorous screening and high design strength were required for
the player-accommodating building to withstand the player’s abilities.

Thanks to this, the construction unit cost and construction period were four or five
times that of a general building.

‘But the player’s ability is so powerful that when it is smashed, it will be smashed.’

The Silver Light gym, which was built under the strict screening and thorough design
and supervision, would also be destroyed often by students’ competitions.

‘There, Choi Pyeon-deuk even illegally renovated this simple shopping mall building.’

Comparing the building blueprint obtained by Jeokho and the actual building, it was
confirmed that Choi Pyeon-deuk made illegal extensions to the flying construction in
order to save money in the middle.

So the weight that this decadent building can withstand.

The limitations of the load design were extremely low.

“Having an illegal building and to make it worse having poor construction done on it,
you take dozens of Enemies that each weighs over 1 ton and make them run around
on the high floors? You are crazy.”

He laughed at the incontinence appearing on the wall.

The collapse was already progressing little by little.

This is scary because of safety insensitivity.

‘Because you guys are players, do you think you will be okay if the building
collapses?’

As if guessing what he would like to say and what he was going to do soon, Choi
Pyeon-deuk fluttered.

He did not wait for his reply.

“Choi Pyeon deuk, receive your birthday present!”

Maeng Hyo-don jumped out of the window.

As soon as he jumped, he immediately regretted it.

“Vice president you fucking bitch!”

The moment the window was broken, dozens of Enemy and Ung family chasers
waiting on the roof of the building began to pursue Maeng Hyo-don.

When Enemy approached, it was natural that the player SAT-K reacted, but the
association satellites were always unresponsive to the families of the Ung tribe.

‘I almost died trying to kill one!’

The chasers were made up of the same kind as the Enemies that Maeng Hyo-don had
fought dozens of times at the fight club.

He almost died of shock from excessive bleeding several times while fighting the
Enemies.

Although he was healed with a recovery item, the price set for the item was several
times higher than the market price, resulting in a large debt.

As a result, Maeng Hyo-don had to play more dangerous games, and the debt
increased again.

He got just fell deeper and deeper.

“Damn it!”

One Enemy ran toward Maeng Hyo-don’s arm.

He rolled and barely avoided it, but he couldn’t run like this.
Suddenly he was surrounded.

“What is this……”

The Enemy did not immediately run at Maeng Hyo-don.

They were just growling for a long time and staring at Maeng Hyo-don.

They seemed to laugh at him in a miserable situation.

“Are you planning on playing with me, Enemy sons of bitches!”

Crack―

Maeng Hyo-don’s scream rang in the streets at night, mixed with the sound of
thunder.

‘I will at least kill a few before you catch me.’

Maeng Hyo-don pledged that way, and he was ready to fight.

Desperate moments and volatile situations continued.

Swoosh!

Dozens of arrows of light came from somewhere.

All the arrows fixed the Enemy’s legs onto the ground.

As if protecting Maeng Hyo don.

‘Where the hell……!’

The place where the arrow flew from was the school gate of the Silver Light high
school.

‘…… In this rain, in this darkness, through a strong wind, you hit dozens of shots?’

The streets were pitch-black, and the rain was pouring down enough to hurt his skin,
and the wind was blowing enough to stagger the trees on the street.
No matter how well he handled his abilities, the skill level was unexplainable.

It was something he couldn’t do other than the question.

He asked himself if he was seeing hallucinations right now.

[Silver Light school gate, run to the front gate]

What came to mind with the question was the words of the vice-president.

The voice of the Vice-president Cho Eui-Shin, who was disguised as an old man,
hovered in my ear.

Maeng Hyo-don got up again and started running through the rain.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Roar, roar!

While Maeng Hyo-don was running, arrows of light constantly poured out toward
the Enemy.

As if there were no rain, wind, and lightning, arrows of light penetrated the Jin tribe’s
family precisely.

The sounds of the arrows hitting.

The sound of the Enemy crying.

The sounds mixed with the sound of the rain were as loud as the sound of his heart
beating.

Thump, thump.

Enemies that turned into needlesticks with dozens of shots fell.

The leader Enemy was also unable to outperform Maeng Hyo-don because its foot
was injured.

The Jin tribes’ family could no longer hinder his escape.

He was taking his steps away from hell.

‘No way, no way really…… ’

Beyond the imperfect view, the front gate of the school gate was seen in the distance.

Even in the storm, he saw a white-silver light clock tower that was dimly lit.

Above the clock tower stood an archer shooting a glowing arrow.

“Run over here, Maeng Hyo-don!”

The archer of the black raincoat shouted toward Maeng Hyo-don.

He squeezed his last energy and sprinted.

Finally, he crossed the boundaries of the silver light front gate.

Crash!

Maeng Hyo-don, a student of the Silver Light, was able to safely pass through the
school gate, but Enemy was blocked by the barrier of the silver light and could not
pass through the school gate.

The archer of the black raincoat instantly killed the Enemies, which had been
stiffened by the effect of the barrier.

Roar-

When the last Enemy fell.

The archer wearing a black raincoat landed lightly under the clock tower and walked
toward Maeng Hyo-don.

Maeng Hyo-don was relieved and plunged into the puddle.

‘I came to school…… I came into the campus of Silver Light……!’

Relief.
Maeng Hyo-don was relieved after a long time.

It was a feeling he missed very much.

“I heard from Cho Eui-shin.”

After hearing that, Maeng Hyo-don noticed.

The archer of this black raincoat was his homeroom teacher.

The vice-president said that he was Ham Geun-hyung, the homeroom teacher for the
1st years.

“Maeng Hyo-don, this is would be your first attendance.”

Ham Geun-hyung took off the black raincoat with the silver light’s logo and covered
Maeng Hyo-don with it.

Even though Maeng Hyo-don was wrapped in a raincoat, he couldn’t raise his head
because it felt like it was still raining on his face.

In his mind, the words of Vice-president Cho Eui-shin came to mind.

[It’s not just me. Besides me, teacher Ham Geun-hyung, who is in charge, also came.
To save you.]

“Teacher……”

It had been a long time since Maeng Hyo-don used the word “teacher”.

“Maeng Hyo-don, do you have any injuries?”

It felt like walking in the water.

Every day it was difficult to solve food, clothing, and shelter problems.

Worrying about tomorrow had filled his head.

Father’s swear words and violence that got worse.

Fight club that was like hell and the growing debt.

Day by day, he felt like he was choking.

‘I don’t know what to do, what should I do…… ’

Maeng Hyo-don, who was only a teenage boy, had only his father and school, but he
had no real friends or teachers.

It was Maeng Hyo-don, who had no money to buy school supplies or reference books,
nor money to go on school trips.

A player who doesn’t have money and was short in stature but can fight well.

It was natural to look at it.

It was the days when he noticed even eating meals alone.

‘…… Teacher.’

In the meantime, the middle school 3rd-year homeroom teacher was very nice.

He was an idiot who tried to prevent him from giving up going to high school and
found a special admission for silver light by searching thousands and tens of
thousands of pages of admission guidelines to send Maeng Hyo-don to a high school
that does not require tuition.

When he was accepted into Silver Light, he even cried out loud.

It was a stupid guy that seemed like he would try to pay all his debts even if he stood
as a guarantee for him.

That’s why he couldn’t tell him about his situation.

‘There was no place to ask for help…… ’

However, Maeng Hyo-don met the first person he can ask for help today.

Vice-President Cho Eui-Shin who came into that hellish place.

Ham Geun-hyung, the homeroom teacher who protected him from dozens of beasts.

Maybe it would be okay to ask for help.

Maeng Hyo-don opened his mouth without even knowing.

“……Help me, Teacher.”

Maeng Hyo-don shut his mouth right after he said that.

He couldn’t figure out what he was talking about.

“Yes, I got it.”

Ham Geun-hyung agreed very easily.

Hearing the answer, Maeng Hyo-don couldn’t get up from the ground for a long time,
even though he was getting drenched from all the rain.

His homeroom teacher, Ham Geun-hyung, waited for Maeng Hyo-don to get up on his
own.

***

An arrow of light was seen through the red lightning and fog surrounding the
building.

Ham Geun-hyung’s Gwanglim, “The Sharpshooter’s Gaze and Bow of Light” was
being activated that borrowed the eyes and bow of the high-ranking beings who have
left their names as sharpshooters.

‘Ham Geun-hyung will protect Maeng Hyo-don.’

Silver Light High school was attended by the best genius players in Korea.

The head of the Student Affairs Department that oversaw student management and
life guidance there.

The best martial artist among the teachers took on that role.
It was rare that the player’s life coach had a poorer skill than the student.

‘He wouldn’t have been a playable character that had survived a long time in this
crazy world for nothing.’

Ham Geun-hyung’s player alias was Heavenly Bow (蒼天名弓).

‘Any place that the eyes of that famous sharpshooter can touch was heaven’

Was the meaning of that alias.

Ranked at the top of the ranged attack playable character, he survives for a relatively
long time and helps the protagonists’ party.

‘This building is only 200m away from the border of the school. No matter how dark
and stormy it is, it would be easy for Ham Geun-hyung to protect Maeng Hyo don
from the clock tower at the front gate.’

Maeng Hyo-don was rescued.

Now it was his turn.

Immediately after Jeokho fired red lightning all over the building in response to his
signal.

He activated the skill inside the building that was collapsing by red lightning.

‹Using the target character’s skill, ‘Fly’.›

‹Using the target character’s skill, ‘space control’.›

At the same time as floating into the air from the collapsing floor, a barrier of light
was formed around him.

A spatial technique that manipulates or fixes a space in a desired state and changes
its properties.

Space control, a derivative skill of space arts, could also be used as a barrier.

‘It certainly deserves to be the favorite power of the dragon god king……!’
The character that he transformed into player’s trajectory was Yongje-geon.

His nickname is Mr. Yong.

Among the Jin tribe, this was Yong Je-Geon, who was part of the dragon tribe and
working as a silver light school teacher.

‘Although it is a version with a lower level than the real thing due to a teacher
contract with Hwangho.’

In order to work as a teacher in Silver Light, Yong Je-geon signs a teacher contract to
adjust all his levels to the human level.

Due to that limitation, he died without showing all of his power in the story that
triggered the “Plamago concrete floor collapse incident”.

‘There were a lot of users who regretted when he died because he was as popular as
Jeokho.’

There was only one playable character who could fly, defend, and capture at the
same time, even though he was old.

If he used the Gwangrim of Yongjegeon, it would be too tiring, so he had to use only
skills if possible.

‘Let’s use Yongjegun’s Gwanglim carefully.’

While he was spreading the barriers with the power of Yong Je-gun.

The collapse of the building was going smoothly.

‘Jeokho did a good job.’

Between meeting Maeng Hyo-don.

Jeokho did pre-work for the collapse of this decadent building.

In response to his signal, the building collapsed coolly when the red lightning struck
specific spots, pillars, beams, rebars, etc.
It wasn’t difficult to destroy buildings built by breaking dozens of building codes.

Jeokho even meticulously wrapped up the entire building with Jeokyeon to prevent
damage to the nearby buildings and to prevent members from running away.

Crack, Crack, Boom!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

‘Maybe he is doing too good of a job.’

Jeokho did too well.

The building was collapsing much faster than expected.

He thought it would take 15 minutes for everything to collapse, but it will be over in
10 minutes.

It seems that Jeokho decided to meticulously collapse the building.

‘He is definitely part of the Tiger tribe.’

This building was the evidence of all the evil deeds performed by Choi Pyeon-deuk
and his VIP members.

To catch them, it was necessary to capture them inside the building as evidence.

However, there was a possibility that Maeng Hyo-don would be taken hostage if he
struck head-on, and tamers of Ungjok, the dozens of Enemy he raised, and the chaser
team would interfere.

‘Then it would be impossible to capture all the player members.’

His strategy was like this.

First, aim for the birthday of owner Choi Pyeon-deuk, where all the main characters
and VIP guests gather.

Second, rescue Maeng hyodon.

Third, remove the Jin tribes’ chase team from the building.

Fourth, seal the entire building and collapsed it to capture all the guests.

He let Jeokho focus on the part of the plan to block and destroy the entire building,
while he decided to take care of the rest.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Get out, get out!”

“It’s falling apart, it’s falling apart!”

“Save me!”

Customers and employees dressed in filthy clothes were running away using their
abilities.

All of the guests were players, but they were weaker than the silver light students,
had no weapons, and were drunk with alcohol and drugs.

There was no way they could properly exert their power in the red lightning of the
tiger tribe.

‘They are looking great.’

Red fog engulfed outside the window, and the building was collapsing with red
current flowing through the floor.

The hellish decadent establishment became a fire lighting hell.

‘Is this the feeling of deleting the hate?’

He enjoyed this hellish mess.

Especially on the entrance and the stairs.

They were in an absolute hurry, and it was very messy.

“Let’s not be afraid. You are also players.”

No one would listen, but he gave them a word.

He asked Jeok-ho in advance to wrap the few non-players a little with Jeokyeon to
protect their vital spots so that they would not die.

‘Of course, players don’t get that.’

Son Min-gi, who was only a junior high student, survived even though his limbs were
destroyed.

Even if this building is destroyed, not everyone will die.

Maybe, a lot.

Although they would feel like they rather die than feel the pain.

“Choi Pyeondeuk, don’t you think so too?”

He talked to Choi Pyeon-deuk, who had been caught with spacial skills.

The fifth part of the plan was to catch Choi Pyeon-deuk by collapsing between the
7th and 8th floors first.

The first thing that was smashed was the floor between the 8th floor of the VIP room
and the 7th floor of the fight club.

Choi Pyeon-deuk was going to be captured no matter what.

“Do, do you not know. Who I am! Ahh, ahhhhh!”

Choi Pyeon-deuk seemed to be still out of his mind.

He tried to get out of space by using his powers, but the power he was operating
right now belongs to the dragon tribe.

It wasn’t possible for a fallen player to respond without a trivial weapon.

‘You survived silver light high school by socializing, tightrope walking, and
paperwork when you were weaker than most of the student players.’
The more you look at it, he was a guy who was nothing compared to the excellent
teachers, Jegal Jae-geol and Ham Geun-hyung.

“Choi Pyeondeuk, I’m going to do what you hate from now on.”

He flew towards the secret place on the 8th floor seen in the game.

He had told Jeok-ho about his plans in advance and asked him to destroy the place
less.

“Ugh, Arghh! I’m telling you, Ahhhh! ugh……”

During the flight, Choi Pyeon-deuk, caught with space skills, was deliberately made
to hit the ground and struck the building fragments that fell.

This short flight was very refreshing.

‘It was about here.’

He dragged Choi Pyeon-deuk and walked toward the secret place hidden in the
deepest part of the VIP room.

When he saw the door of the secret place, he started going crazy.

“No, what are you thinking. Ouch!”

“What do you think. If you catch the enemy, you have to get a reward.”

He grabbed Choi Pyeon-deuk’s head and brought his eyes to the iris recognizer.

Beep―

The side door that seemed shabby at first glance opened slowly.

And what he saw was a warehouse the size of around 355 square feet.

Apple boxes filled with cash and item cards were piled all over the shelf.

“You’ve been storing away tons. Good work.”

Like dribbling a basketball, he put Choi Pyeon-deuk’s head on the floor and reached
for the boxes.

Then the boxes disappeared into the item window of his exclusive menu.

Looking at the disappearing boxes, Choi Pyeon-deuk screamed.

When he was happy with the growing list of items he was getting.

A system beep was heard.

‹You now have 500 weapon types.›

What was it saying suddenly?

‹The level of the skill ‘Use All Things’ has been increased from 1 to 2.›

“Ha.”

Why all of a sudden?

He hasn’t used any weapons right now.

He just used the player’s trajectory and the skills of Yongjegun.

With that said, the reason the skill level has risen…

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

The Use All Things skill levels must increase depending on the amount of weapon
possession too.

He felt better because of the unexpected bonus.

Choi Pyeon-deuk looked up at him, dropping his body with pain and anger from the
loss of his wealth.

“Why the hell…… Why!”

Choi Pyeon-deuk had a face that seemed to be struck by lightning in the dry sky
rather than being judged for his sins.

It was indeed true that he was struck by the red lightning of Jeokho.

He decided to give him a hint because he felt a little better with the unexpected skill
level up.

“Don’t you know me?”

“You, don’t you really know me? I mean, huh? I know a lot of people in high……”

“Don’t you know when you see this crow mask?”

With that answer, he stared at the traces of the cut off the flesh on Choi Pyeon-deuk’s
palm.

He engraved Sidelentium’s seal and the crow’s stigma to Choi Pyeon-deuk, who also
participated in the Dream Auction.

“I put a crow pattern on the palm of your hand.”

Choi Pyeon-deuk had a shocked face.

“The, the Red Phantom Thief……!”

That alias was embarrassing, so he wished he didn’t call it outright.

Crack~!

He reflexively slammed the back of his head.

Because he did not hold back, the dragon tribes’ strength was expressed without
regret.

Two of his front teeth were broken when he was hit by the ground when he raised
his head.

He didn’t feel sorry for it at all.

Because Choi Pyeon-deuk was also related to his old grudge, 10 years ago.
“Do you know how many pre-registered users of Plamago have fallen because of
you? That tutorial was like a real dogshit.”

“That…… What do you mean……”

“I want you to feel like an absurd dogshit for no reason. Choi Pyeon-deuk.”

The resentment of the veteran player in the national trash game was deep-rooted.

He laughed coolly over the mask for a while.

Humans are afraid of unintelligible disasters and unreasonable violence.

Choi Pyeon-deuk, who was terrified as if he looked like a maniac who kept smiling,
didn’t talk much after that anymore.

But while smiling, his head was spinning cold.

‘I will not pass you over to the police like Son Min-ki and Byeon Soon-hoe.’

He had no intention of judging Choi Pyeon-deuk by law.

Son Min-ki and Byeon Soon-hoe.

He had no intention of letting him live by seeing the light of the world like the two.

‘Choi Pyeondeuk knows the law well. The network is not comparable to the previous
two. At best, after living in prison for a few years, he will eat well and live well with
the wealth he has saved from corruption.’

Although he robbed him of a lot, there’s no way this sleazy guy hid his fortune in one
just place.

‘So let’s leave it to Jeokho.’

He communicated with the Ung by using the position of a teacher in a school run by
the tigers in the tiger tribe.

This Choi Pyeon-deuk was the thing Jeokho wanted to hit the most.
‘Choi Pyeon-deuk will disappear from this collapse today. On the surface.’

While thinking that he decided to join Jeokho.

Swoosh!

With the sound of the wind, his nerves were on the brink.

Someone was trying to attack him.

He felt the wind move ominously in the collapsed building.

There was no system alert.

If that was the case, it was not the Enemy.

The opponent was the Jin tribe.

‘You’re here, beast training class Ung tribe!’

The owner of the pet-type monster who unleashed the monsters at the entrance
exam of the Silver Light school and this fight club.

He predicted that he would come to observe and show off his pet with great care at
Choi Pyeon-deuk’s birthday party.

It was one of the guys he must capture today.

‘Even if Jeokho isn’t with me, I can deal with it until the building collapses.’

The usable time of the player’s trajectory will be considerably reduced, but he will
use the Dragon tribe’s Gwanglim to block it.

It was when he tried to activate the Gwanglim of Yongje Gun.

Clang!

An unimaginable existence between him and the Ung-jok of training class appeared
with a great sword.
A straight back obstructed his view.

It was a view he had seen for almost 10 years.

‘Why here……!’

It was Baek ho gun.

In front of his eyes, the Baek ho gun was confronting the Ung using the great sword
called White Fang of the Breaking Cloud and Slashing Thunder.
Baekhogun turned his cool face and looked at me.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop by a few degrees just by receiving his
attention.

“I will cover you. So you can step back.”

It was the third time he met Baekhogun in this world, but this was the first time he
heard his voice.

He realized this was how he sounded.

Clang!

Baekhogun swung the White Fang and deflected the Ung tribe beast’s claws, and
swung the sword downward toward its neck.

The beast lifted its long claws wrapped in black aura, turned the trajectory of the
great sword, and giggled.

“That great sword, that spirit! I have seen it before. White Tiger!”

Cho Eui Shin remembered hearing this voice of the Ung tribe.

‘You’re the crazy guy who went crazy on the broadcast during the entrance exam.’

Baekhogun and the beast exchanged attacks by running between the collapsing floor,
pillars, and debris.

Black and white light clashing with each other were seen through red lightning and
dust.

At first glance, their fighting power seemed to be equal.

The beast smiled with the momentum of tearing its mouths and shouted.

“Hahahaha, it seems to be true when they say that you have become a prisoner of the
gods! You call this the power of the mythical world? It’s pathetic!”

The white tiger who received the wrath of the heavenly gods and became a prisoner
of God.

It was true that he received all kinds of debuffs and was currently only able to use
about 10% of his strength.

“Of course, the words of ‘him’ were correct. Hahahahaha! There is nothing to be
afraid of!”

Him? Who is he?

When he had such a question, the Ung tribe beast summoned two pet class demons
at the same time by flicking the fingers with one hand.

The beast flicked his fingers many times.

However, it seemed that there were only two remaining because most of them were
sent to chase after Maenghyodon.

As the Ung tribe chewed his lips and beckoned, a synthetic beast wrapped in black
smoke ran toward the white tiger.

Roar!

The white tiger, who looked at the demon with indifferent eyes, said in a cold voice.

“You dare to bring in such a horrible thing in God’s area.”

Swoosh-

Baekhogun swung the White Fang toward the Enemy.

Slash!

When the flash disappeared, both of the two pet-type beast species were cleaved in
two without a chance for them to retaliate.

It was a ridiculously powerful and neat strike.

The Ung tribe beast clicked his tongue.

“Tsk……!”

“You must have forgotten that the heavenly spirits did not forgive you.”

Baekhogun looked up at the sky and said calmly.

The collapse of the ceiling had progressed, so he saw the sky full of dark clouds.

“O God, please give me permission.”

A brilliant light fluttered around the forehead of Baekhogun who had finished saying
that.

Particles of light illuminated the room brighter than red lightning.

When the brightness of the light reached its peak, Baekhogun sheathed the White
Fang.

It was when the Ung tribe beast was wide open to see Baekhogun sheath his weapon.

Swoosh~

Both arms of the Ung tribe beast disappeared.

He couldn’t see anything at all.

The ready motion.

Even the moment of attack.

“Ahhhh, ahhhhhh! My, my arms!”

Splat~!
When Baekhogun swung his great sword once again, the arm of the Ung tribe that
had fallen completely lost its shape and turned into a bloody mess.

The great sword with the red handle in the hand of Baekhogung was the Bear Claw (
熊獵爪).

Five thousand years ago, when the tigers and the Ung were confronted over the
supremacy of the Korean peninsula, it was a weapon that was only used for hunting
the Ung.

To slash someone from the Ung tribe, there was nothing like the Bear Claw.

‘And that is why he was my best flagship playable character……!’

It is true that the power of Baekhogun was sealed by the celestial god, but the
celestial god was angrier with the Ung tribe than Baekhogun.

Before the power of the White Tiger was sealed.

When dealing with the Ung, he had asked for their wrath to be removed, and the
heavenly god allowed it.

‘If the opponent is the Ung, Baekhogun was invincible.’

When the Ung is an enemy in a story or quest where Baekhogun can be selected in
the game.

Baekhogun was not a recommended playable character, but a required playable

character.

“You’re not even in the legendary class. When was that life given to you? A thousand
years ago? A hundred years ago?”

“Oh uh, uh ah. My, my children are disappearing. Ahhhhhhhh……!”

The Ung beast was completely confused.

Perhaps his hand was sealed with a medium that allowed him to control his pet
demon servants.
Black smoke constantly flowed from the torso of the Ung tribe whose arms had
disappeared.

‘Because you were originally crazy, the way he’s talking doesn’t seem to be different
from usual.’

Baekhogun spoke a few more times, but the Ung tribe spoke gibberish and unable to
talk.

Baekhogun looked down at the figure and pointed the Bear Claw at it.

‘Is he trying to kill?’

He intervened between the Ung tribe beast and Baekhogun.

The two Jin tribe members were facing each other on a pillar that was barely facing
destruction, so they had to fly into the air.

“Stop it, I want this one to be captured.”

The collapse of the building was over.

The red lightning stopped and the debris was only visible through the clouds of dust.

‘He wouldn’t cut me just because I blocked him right?’

Baekhogun was looking down at him flying on the half-broken pillar.

It felt like his body was freezing as he received the gaze that looked like frost.

Immediately after the cold eyes that were staring at him quietly blinked once.

The Bear Claw disappeared from the hand of Baekhogun.

Buzz―

Jeokho appeared with the sound of kicking the wall.

“Baekho, why are you here……!”

Jeokho, who climbed up the wall in no time, looked astonished at Baekhogun.

Why does he have that kind of face?

Wasn’t it Jeokho who called the Baekhogun?

“Jeokho, why didn’t you call me?”

“I didn’t want you to dirty your hands……”

“So, is that why you came with a student belonging in the god’s territory?”

Anger was in the voice of Baekhogun.

He was the one that used underhanded tricks to come with Jeokho.

Wait.

Baekhogun was recognizing that he was a student.

Why? How?

‘No, let’s leave the question behind.’

It’s not good to be here for a long time.

“It was me who asked Jeokho.”

Baekhogun turned his gaze from Jeokho to him.

There was a deep reprimand in those eyes.

Fortunately, he didn’t say anything anymore, so he talked to Jeokho, who was

confused.

“Jeokho please move Choi Pyeon-deuk and the beast. Soon, players from the
association called by Mr. Ham Geun-hyung will come. I’ll finish up here and leave.”

“……I understand. See you soon.”

There were several variables, but today’s work has been resolved.

After capturing the stunned Choi Pyeon-deuk and the luminous Ung tribe with
Jeokyeon, and climbed up the window frame.

“Baekho, what are you going to do?”

“I will act with Cho Eui-shin.”

Cho Eui-shin?

Baekhogun knew exactly his name.

He was using Gwanglim so how did he know?

‘Was he watching me all this time?’

He wrapped himself with Jeokyeon and moved from the balcony of his dorm.

If he had been watching since then, he’ll probably know who he was.

Even though Jeokyeon cheated on human eyes, he could not cheat on the same tiger
tribe.

Whatever the process it seemed like he had to move with Baekhogun now anyway.

“Okay, let’s go.”

He descended through a cloud of dust toward the debris on the floor.

Baekhogun used his leap skills to kick the wall and lightly chased after him.

Beep, beep–

They turned on the device and tracked the transmitter Jeokho had attached to them.

Moving along the red dot marked on the holographic map, they saw two stunned
people through the fragments of the building.

Unlike those who became bloody, this middle-aged couple was fine.
‘Jeokho is really excellent at his job.’

He would have to treat Jeokho once.

With that thought, He kicked the two men wearing only underwear to wake them up.

Thud, Thud!

What did these people do here, that they would be wearing underwear?

If he thought of the business in this building, it was good that they weren’t naked at
least.

“Uh…… Uh……”

Soon the two woke up with their eyes drenched.

While unconscious, he tried to remove the bracelet worn on each left hand and the
sheet attached under the watch.

Then, the black stigma received upon permanent expulsion of the player was seen.

He laughed behind the crow mask and talked to the middle-aged couple.

“Nice to meet you. Irena’s parents.”

***

As a result of Jeokho’s investigation, it was revealed that Irena’s parents were the
most popular regulars.

They were VIP enough to be invited to Choi Pyeon-deuk’s birthday party.

So, today, he decided to those two would be the bonus on top of the birthday gift.

Irena’s parents were noisy throughout the flight, captured with space skills.

He thought he should wake them up after they arrived.

The belated regret came.

“Teacher teacher. Let’s solve it with words.”

“Who is your teacher. Shut up.”

The only time he was polite to them was when he said hello.

He flew in the air, letting both of them be covered in rain and wind.

“Okay, we’ve arrived.”

It was the only skyscraper of Silver Light that they arrived at the end of the flight.

It was the Hwangmyeong Tower owned by the Hwangmyeong Group, one of Korea’s
four largest groups.

‘It’s a pity that it only has 55 floors.’

Baekhogun who had been flying together with him was watching his actions silently.

He used a space technique and put the middle-aged couple, wet from the rain, like
mice on a rooftop railing.

On the other hand, he and Baekhogun, who were protected by the barrier of space
control, were not wet at all.

‘If their feet touch the railing, they won’t feel like they are flying anymore.’

Pitch-black darkness.

A storm of rain, thunder, and lightning from time to time.

Altitude above 200m.

It will probably be difficult to stay sane.

A middle-aged couple who turned blue appealed to him.

“I made a mistake and made a moment of aberration. We are adults and can be held
accountable for our actions. Please let us make atonement in another way.”
“Yes Yes. Please let us go. I sincerely think I was wrong. I am reflecting. Please forgive
me only once. We also have a family. Please……”

The attitude the two asked me for was a calm, voice that aroused sympathy full of
reason, affection, and reflection.

Because they knew how to be this sneaky and cunning, that’s why they don’t go to
jail, and how they were playing as a VIP of a decadent business in front of the school.

“Turn on the wearable device and give me ownership.”

They both handed over the wearable device they were wearing as bracelets.

Ownership was transferred smoothly and the device could be operated without
security procedures.

The first thing he opened was the message window.

The record he was looking for was the message record with Irena.

Beep.

The results came out quickly.

It was on the most recent record that didn’t take much effort to search.

They constantly sent Irena messages.

A few hours ago, even before playing in a decadent establishment.

‘It’s a spectacle.’

The two were very rational, but the reason seemed to be maintained by releasing
stress on Irena.

The message on the hologram was a spectacle.

[Did you talk to the police and the association? Tell me how much you took, you
bitch]
[Don’t even call me mom anymore]

[This bitch that is ruining our family]

[How much money I invested in you, how much I gave up, but something like you
shouldn’t have been born]

[This is all because of you]

[I don’t know why something like you was born that we have to go through this
hardship]

Irena was not even treated like a family.

It’s because they’re talking about ‘their family’, not ‘my family’.

‘Investment…… Does Irena look like a retirement pension?’

The money to raise Irena was a waste, but the money dedicated to Choi Pyeon-deuk
wasn’t considered a waste.

Even though that money was for playing in a decadent establishment in front of the
school where Irena attended.

‘…… Irena has read all these messages.’

Irena didn’t answer back, but all messages were read.

He seemed to know why she still couldn’t attend school.

“Irena is not your daughter? Why do you say this.”

When Irena’s name came out, the two people who had a polite attitude pridefully
raised their heads.

“Why are you talking about other families businesses? That’s because you don’t
know how arrogant and uneducated Irena is.

“Have you ever heard anything from that damn bitch? It’s a bitch who says constantly
lies. You can’t believe her.”
If they didn’t want to be ruined, he hoped they shut up.

These two went too far.

Words didn’t reach them, so he wasn’t confident he can just speak to them.

It seems that there was no beginning to gift a harmonious family to Irena by asking
the cause of the discord and helping to resolve it.

He grabbed the device in his hand and smashed it.

Crack.

When the message window hologram disappeared, the heat on his head subsided a
little.

“Yeah, I don’t know anything about your home business.”

However, he knew how Irena in the game died trying to be recognized by her
parents.

He saw with his own eyes how terrified she was in the world’s only mid-teens at a
forcibly dragged dream auction.

In the meantime, he also knew that she was very brave for him, who took the
appearance of Yeom Jun-yeol at the time.

He did the motion to activate the spacial arts.

‹Using the target character’s skill, ‘spacial arts’.›

“I know that you two are permanently expelled from the Players Association, so you
can’t even use Gwanglim, and your skill is sealed at level 1. But the body is still
strong. Your overall stats are also high, so you may not die.”

“Ahhh. Please save us!”

“We were wrong!”

Irena’s parents begged in fear.

He wasn’t touched at all.

Irena, who was standing on the roof of the dormitory on the first day of admission,
must have been scared.

“If you contact Irena again in the future, you will die.”

After saying that, he pushed the two out of the railing.

A scream was heard over the storm.

***

He and Baekhogun moved to the place they had promised with Jeokho.

The place where he promised Jeokho was Eunyeonggwan (銀影館) of Silver Light
high school.

It was Gwanglim Research Hall 4 located in the research building area of Silver Light
high school.

‘Gwanglim Research Hall 4 is a camouflage and seems to be the private building of

Jeokho.’

In the game, the description of Eun Young-gwan wasn’t displayed properly, but there
was an explanation that Jeokho mainly used it in the collection tab.

While waiting for an elevator through the main entrance of Eunyounggwan.

Baekhogun, who hadn’t said anything at all, suddenly spoke.

“Why did you use the item on them?”

During Irena’s parent’s fall, around when they were on the 5th floor.

At that point, he used the item ‘lower wind spirit’s wing powder’ given to Maeng
Hyo-don before.

‘I did damage because I deliberately shifted the timing.’

Until they were also expelled, they were veteran players.

Probably, they would have resisted by mobilizing all the skills and experience that
fell to level 1 as they fell.

Their bodies were almost smashed, but they did not die.

“If they were found a little late, they may die. If they died or become disabled, their
daughter will suffer.”

There was no intention of letting young Irena take care of the handicapped or make
her a resident.

“You are foolish.”

Even though Baekhogun said so, he had warmth in his eyes.

It was rare even in the game that a white tiger-like him with frost had such eyes.

Although not properly expressed throughout the game, it was a typical reaction from
Baekhogun who loves this world and the humans.

But since when did Baekho-gun follow him?

“When have you been watching?”

“From the beginning.”

From the beginning?

Did he watch Jeokho from the beginning and moved along with him?

Ding.

An elevator arrived at the lobby of Eunyoung Hall, he and Baekhogun got on.

“I’ll do it.”

As the Jeokho told me in advance, he tried to operate the elevator button to go to the
hidden floor, but Baekhogun first reached out.
When he pressed the buttons in an order that he would never press when using an
elevator, the elevator started moving quietly.

B1.

B2.

B3.

Darkness.

The elevator gradually descended to the unmarked floor.

And when the door opened.

“I waited. Baekho-nim, Cho Eui-shin.”

It was not Jeokho that greeted him and Baekhogun.

It wasn’t another tiger tribe member.

It was someone he couldn’t even imagine.

‘Kim Shinrok……!’

Teacher of the 1st year 1st class and advisor to the Jiikhoe.

The supervisor who almost died during the entrance exam.

It was, Kim Shin-rok.

“Looks like I am in your debt again Cho Eui-shin. Thank you for your cooperation in
purifying Silver Light District.”

The tone and atmosphere were completely different from Kim Shin rok he knew.

He didn’t look like the friendly teacher who came to his room with Seong Si-wan and
said hello.

Kim Shin rok had a difficult expression to read.

‘Somehow not like a person.’

Jeokho.

Kim Shin rok.

Entrance examination demon intrusion case.

Tiger tribe and Ung Tribe.

Now this place.

He put his thoughts together one by one.

It’s hard to believe, but there was one conclusion that came out.

“You are not human.”

The odds of the Jin tribe and Jin tribe or Jin tribe and humans having children were
extremely low, and even if they had children, the child did not become a Jin tribe.

In the case of the white tiger, the yellow tiger, and the red tiger, the sacred beasts
became mythical beings to be recorded in the Kaecheon myth and became a part of
the Jin tribes.

Yongje-gun was also born in the Chintamani of the Dragon King God.

‘Ha, I can’t believe it.’

Being in the realm of Jeokho without trouble means that they are either part of the
tiger tribe or descendant of one.

However, if he were a simple tiger tribe or descendant of one, he would not have
been easily beaten by the Ung during the entrance exam.

Even if the descendants were lesser beings of the Jin tribe, there was no way that
they could seriously injure the descendants in a short time by tricking the other
teachers before the entrance exam.

But if he was also a descendant of the Ung, the story was different.

The descendants cannot resist against Jin tribes they share blood with.

“You must be the descendant of the Tiger and Ung.”

Kim Shin rok was the descendant of the Tiger and the Ung, he shared both of their
blood at the same time.

To be precise, he was the descendant of Jeokho and the Ungnyeo of grief.

“You are definitely the Unknown Supernova. Very intelligent.”

Kim Shin rok, who answered that way and smiled, didn’t seem human at all.

“That’s right. I’m a Tiger and an Ung. I am a descendant of the two Jin tribes.”

Crazy national trash game.

In the tutorial, the character who died without much dialogue has had this kind of
setting?

“As you know well, descendants are blood-bound. I cannot attack the Tiger and the
Ung. So during the last attack, I couldn’t resist and I was beaten by the Ung.”
Kim Shin rok smiled and pointed to the end of the dark corridor.

“Let us go. Jeokho is waiting for us.”

The Jeokho in the game continued to wear black clothes until the day of his death.

Perhaps it was because he grieved for the death of his descendant, his son, Kim Shin-
rok.

As he reached the end of the corridor along Kim Shin rok, he saw Jeokho.

“Baekho, Cho Eui-shin. The Ung are locked up, but they lost their minds.”

Inside the lab guided by Jeokho.

There, he saw Choi Pyeon-deuk struggling with the tamer Ung tribe who lost both
arms.

When Choi Pyeon-deuk saw Kim Shin-rok, his eyes opened and glowed.

“Ki, Mr. Kim. Good timing! I, I mean. There seems to be some misunderstanding with
these teachers! Please, please.”

“Don’t make flap your mouth in front of Baekho-nim and Jeokho-nim.”

Kim Shin-rok threw a thumbtack at Choi Pyeon-deuk’s jaw.

“Ahhhhhh!”

The thumbtack stuck exactly in Choi Pyeon Deuk’s chin.

Blood flowed from the place where the tack was stuck, and Choi Pyeon Deuk
groaned.

‘It is natural that Choi Pyeon-deuk is getting beaten. But why.’

Why?

Why a thumbtack?
He looked at Kim Shin rok with his eyes full of doubts.

“There are students and faculty members who prefer analog paper notice boards. So
I always carry them around.”

Rattle-.

Kim Shin rok shook a small plastic bucket full of thumbtacks.

He took out two thumbtacks and simultaneously bounced them off his fingertips and
repeatedly looked at the Choi Pyeon Deuk.

“Do you have anything you want to ask?”

He thought that the interrogation was going to be done by Jeokho.

Kim Shin rok said with an artificial smile that was still unhuman.

“I am pretty good at stuff like this. Better than Jeokho-nim.”

“Let’s leave it to him, Cho Eui-shin.”

Choi Pyeon-deuk, who was groaning at Jeok-ho’s words, looked at me breathing

deeply.

“What? Cho Eui-shin? No, no way, the Unknown Supernova is…!”

“Answer only the questions we asked.”

“Ahhhhhh!”

Kim Shin rok put two thumbtacks that he was playing with into Choi Pyeon Deuk’s
forehead.

There was no doubt about it.

Kim Shin rok really seemed to be able to do this well.

“There is one thing I want to ask.”

There was one thing he wanted to ask.

Other than that, all the information that Choi Pyeon-deuk had was all that he already
knew or could know through a simple investigation.

Even in the game, he had to uncover unclear information.

“Who are the ones among the Zodiac Alliance that broke the barrier of Silver Light
high school?”

To my question, Baekhogun, Jeokho, and Kim Shin rok both sharpened their eyes.

Choi Pyeon-deuk flagged my question.

“T-there is no way in hell I would answer that!”

Rattle-.

Kim Shin rok poured out a lot of school supplies in front of Choi Pyeon-deuk.

Ballpoint pen nib, zigzag scissors, cutter knives, thumbtacks, pencil sharpener…

They are obviously common school supplies, but when Kim Shin-rok displayed it, it
felt dark.

Kim Shin rok, who felt his gaze, said with a smile again.

“I’ve been a teacher for a while.”

Kim Shin rok said, picking up a 0.38mm red ink ballpoint pen lead and bringing it to
Choi Pyeon Deuk’s eyeball.

“I can handle a lot of analog school supplies very well.”

Soon, Choi Pyeon-deuk’s screaming was heard.

He was able to see the true face of Kim Shin rok, the descendant of the Jin tribe who
pretended to be like a normal, caring teacher…

One more teacher who he should never talk back against was added to his list.
After about 30 minutes.

Before Kim Shin-rok tested ten kinds of school supplies, Choi Pyeon-deuk made a
declaration of surrender.

“Oh, noh, I, I don’t know either! At the time of breaking the barrier, the shadow had a
long tail, a long tail!”

Kim Shin-rok nodded at him after checking Choi Pyeon-deuk’s eye movements, heart
rate, and skin tremors.

It seemed to be the truth.

When breaking the barrier, it would have been necessary to change into an
incarnation of a beast in accordance with the covenant of the Alliance of 12.

‘A long tail you say. Among the 12 zodiacs, the ones with long tails were rats, cows,
tigers, dragons, snakes, horses, monkeys, and dogs.

Of these, except for the clearly innocent tiger and dragon, six would be left.’

Rat, cow, snake, horse, monkey, dog.

The Rat tribe (鼠族), the Cow Tribe (牛族), the Snake Tribe (蛇族), the Horse Tribe (
馬族), the Monkey tribe (猿族), and the Dog tribe (犬族).

Among these six, there was the Jin tribe who betrayed the Tigers.

It cannot be concluded that it was just one of them, but even if so, there was no
problem.

‘The game is still early. The number of moves I can make remains infinite.’

When his question was over, Kim Shin rok started asking questions.

“Why did you aim for the job of the 1st-grade class teacher and the job of advisor to
the intellectual society? You denied the offers given to you for homeroom teacher
and other advisory positions before. What were you trying to do in Silver Light?”

“Ah, I don’t know… They told me to, “to…!”

Three colorful thumbtacks were held between Kim Shin-rok’s fingers.

Choi Pyeon-deuk got frightened and immediately replied.

“Oh! Excellent student, they said they needed an offering!”

There was something that came to mind when he said that an excellent student and
an offering.

In the game, around a year later, the intellectual society gets annihilated.

Although most of the first graders survive because Joo Soo-hyuk and An da-in
protect them.

“By killing the descendant, Kim Shin-rok, the power of Silver Light is cut down, and
the procurement of offerings is facilitated by making Choi Pyeon Deuk sit as advisor
and homeroom teacher. They’ve been working on it from the very beginning.’

It’s what he expected, but to think he would hear that from a full-time teacher
working in Silver Light high school.

After that, interrogations and confessions continued.

‘……… There is no end.’

They set up a decadent business to insult the territory of the Tiger tribe.

Taking talented students to fight clubs.

Students with rare talents were sold at auctions.

Preventing excellent teachers from becoming regular teachers…

Red sparks continued to erupt around Jeokho, and Baekhogun’s eyes gradually
became colder.

Although those weren’t the only evil deeds performed by Choi Pyeon-deuk.

‘Putting his hands on the students and taking tribute… Because they are not directly
related to the tribe, they will not be condemned here.’
Kim Shin-rok, who judged that he had heard all the necessary information, put a
cutter blade into Choi Pyeon-deuk’s neck with the consent of him and Jeokho,
preventing him from screaming.

Meanwhile, Jeokho brought a frame with ropes stained with blood bound to a bright
red wooden board.

‘What is that………!’

Jeokho brought the red frame.

On the frame, indescribable thoughts and a terrible curse were buried.

Just looking at it caused him to choke.

It was as if he had brought a little hell.

“Ugh…… uh……!”

Choi Pyeon-deuk also started struggling as if he felt something.

Kim Shin rok kindly explained the hell that Choi Pyeon-deuk will suffer in his near
future.

“After committing a deadly sin, Jeokho-nim bound himself here for about 4900 years
before the other world conflict broke out to punish himself. Humans have a short
lifespan, so trash like you must last maybe 100 years.”

Jeokho used that to punish himself?

A miniature version of hell would be right.

‘Choi Pyeon Deuk will be in hell until the moment he dies.’

He guessed this would be an eternal goodbye to Choi Pyeon-deuk.

He left a greeting.

“I felt like a dog listening to bullshit in your class. Live a long life here, Choi Pyeon-
deuk.”
Originally, birthday punch is given in hopes of longevity.

He turned his back, leaving Choi Pyeon-deuk, who couldn’t scream and was twisting
his body.

Baekhogun and Jeokho followed me in the elevator to the lobby of Eunyounggwan,

except for Kim Shin rok, who stayed behind to clean up.

‘With the entrance of Baekhogun, I still have strength leftover today.’

It’s great because he still had work to do.

He looked back at Baekhogun and Jeokho and said.

“There is still a building that needs to be demolished. Who wants to come?”

There were a total of five decadent business buildings operated by Choi Pyeon-deuk
in front of Silver Light high school.

Only one was demolished so far.

Before the rain and wind stop, he planned to demolish everything and rob it as a
bonus.

The Tiger tribe has the Hwangmyeong group on their back, so they would have no
need for money and all the riches left in those buildings would be ripe for his taking.

“I will go.”

“We will be together. Cho Eui-shin.”

The two tigers who were nodding were really trustworthy.

The finest free workforce was here.

As he stepped out of Eunyoung Hall, he saw rain pouring again.

As it was the research building area, the lighting of the laboratory and the large
greenhouse, which was being tested overnight, were lit up here and there, but it was
still dark.
Shhhhhhhhh-.

‘I don’t think the rainstorm will stop anytime soon.’

Still, it was worth going out through this storm.

‘Since the days of the game, I wanted to destroy the maps where dogshit-like events
occurred.’

Unless there was a special gimmick in the game, it was impossible to destroy maps
or buildings, no matter how strong the character was.

‘It’s different now.’

He could break anything as long as he had the strength.

The three of them broke through the storm and embarked on the demolition of
illegal buildings.

The work was easy because he checked the drawings and blueprints of the buildings
in advance and determined the weak points.

Opening the vaults hidden everywhere was quickly over.

Looking at the cash and item cards in the item window, he felt proud.

‘It’s so easy and rewarding!’

Since midnight has passed, it was now Saturday dawn, but in an idiomatic sense, it
was also still Friday.

He, Baekhogun, and Jeokho happily destroyed buildings and burned their Friday.

***

After the burning Friday was over, one more address was stored on his wearable
device.

The one that was newly registered was Baekhogun.

He and Baekhogun exchanged their codes just before returning to the dormitory.

‘It’s strangely easy to talk to Baekhogun.’

He was always polite to Hwang-ho and Jeokho, but he used informal words to
Baekhogun as soon as he saw him.

Is that because it is a playable character who has rolled 10 years?

Hwangho and Jeokho were NPCs, so they were a little different from Baekhogun.

‘Baekhogun doesn’t seem to care so I’m just going to be informal with him.’

Sometimes, Jeokho gazed at him saying he did not understand.

‘The weather is nice today.’

Looking out the window, the rain and wind had stopped completely.

It was daytime Saturday now.

He was in the best condition because he hadn’t even dreamed like normal and got a
good night’s sleep.

‘Ham Geun Hyung’s message should be coming anytime now.’

As expected, ding-dong, and the arrival of the message alarm sound was heard.

[Ham Geun-hyung] Come to the faculty’s office break room by 2:00.

Ham Geun-hyung would have wanted to call him as soon as he finished protecting
Maeng Hyo Don.

He must have guessed what he had done last night, so he must have been
considerate of him to sleep a little.

He thought he should not keep them waiting.

He changed his clothes and left the dorm room.

 ***

The break room of an empty faculty residence that met the weekend.

“Hello.”

“Yes, sit down.”

He sat across from Ham Geun-hyung.

With a shady face, he said calmly.

“Maeng Hyo-don is undergoing a close examination in the first health room in the
central area. The exact result was not obtained, but according to the opinion of the
player specialist, there were signs of excessive use of recovery items.”

Signs of excessive use of recovery items.

Maeng Hyo-don’s school uniform with traces of stitches here and there.

The Enemies that followed him.

Player SAT-K’s Enemy Alert, which did not sound.

Just by looking at those facts, Ham Geun-hyung must have a rough idea of what
happened.

“All you told me was that Maeng Hyo-don would come running to the front gate of
Silver Light after midnight, so protect him and report it to the Players Association.
Did you have anything else you wanted to tell me other than that?”

He talked about what might be known in the future.

He finished only explaining what Choi Pyeon-deuk did and what happened to Maeng
Hyo-don.

When the explanation was over, Ham Geun-hyung stood up.

“………Okay. Then I’m going to go see Maeng Hyo-don, so let’s go together.”

What?

He thought it was natural for him to be questioned and was clearing up his mind to
prepare to answer, but he became stunned at his reaction.

Ham Geun-hyung seemed to have no intention of asking for more.

“Are you not going to inquire further?”

“If you don’t want to talk, I won’t ask.”

He didn’t understand.

In this case, Choi Pyeon-deuk, a teacher, and Maeng Hyo-don, a student, was deeply
related.

It was natural to ask how he knew and how he dealt with it.

But he still chose not to ask?

“I’ve seen some just player students with excellent intelligence and independent
information collection routes. I know that those types of guys don’t break their will. I
haven’t even known you for a month yet, but I think you are one of those types.”

Ham Geun-hyung stood up and said.

“Whenever I tried to stop them or tried to find out more about it, it resulted in
injuries to them. I don’t want to hurt my students.”

“Mr. Ham Geun-hyung…”

I’ve heard of this line before.

It was also what Ham Geun-hyung said to Joo Soo-hyuk.

It was the line that made him think that there wouldn’t be a real teacher like this,
that games are just games.

“If you can’t talk about it, then don’t talk about it, Cho Eui-shin. Instead, be sure to
tell me when you need help. I will help you without asking anything.”
He thought it was very fortunate for him that he was his homeroom teacher.

***

He and Ham Geun Hyung each took an air board and moved to the central area.

When he got on the air board, an unusually blue sky came into his sight.

‘The sky is blue…!’

The rain had stopped and it was a little cool, but the sky was blue and the wind was
refreshing.

After a short flight, they landed in the central area, and someone was waiting for
them.

The man smiled brightly and approached him and Ham Geun-hyung.

“It’s been a while, Eui shin.”

The large mansion with the aesthetics of Hwangho, located near the site of the Silver
Light high School, was one of the Silver Light Districts’ specialties.

A golden fence woven with stronger barriers than the school.

A labyrinth garden that was large enough to get lost.

The five-story mansion in the center was the residence of Hwang Myung-ho,
chairman of the Hwang Myung Foundation.

“Welcome, Baekho. Jeokho.”

Three tigers gathered in the mansion.

Hwang-ho, sitting at the top, welcomed his two friends and opened his mouth.

“How long has it been since the three of us got together? 30 years? 50 years? Why
did you two come to me at the same time?”

“Hwangho, that is……”

“Wait. I’ll try to guess.”

Hwang-ho put down the teacup silently and pondered for a moment.

Silver Light Districts’ purification case was known after receiving a post-mortem
report from Jeokho.

The case was already closed.

He didn’t know what kind of business it was for, but he guessed why.

“Did Cho Eui Shin make a request?”

No negative answer was heard.

‘That’s amazing.’

Cho Eui Shin, a 17-year-old high school student who had been admitted to Silver
Light high school for less than a month.

Cho Eui-shin has already saved five people just from what Hwang-ho gathered.

At the time of the entrance exam, Jang Namwook, Yoo Sanghoon, Son Minki.

Irena on the first day of admission.

And this dawn, even Maenghyodon.

‘Although he may have saved more from places that I didn’t know about.’

Hwang-ho, who looked like a teenager, smiled.

Jeokho, who saw Hwangho’s smile, was a little surprised.

Hwangho kept talking with his eyes shining.

“The intelligence that grasped our identity, the courage to deal with the Jin tribe, the
unknown Gwanglim and skill, and the insight that could not be considered a 17-year-
old. Cho Eui-shin is excellent in every way. It makes sense why you consider him
noteworthy.”

Hwangho’s gaze passed through Jeokho and reached Baekho.

“Hahaha! Not only has he received help from the Red tiger, who openly protects
humans, but to draw out the White tiger too. It’s been 15 years since I’ve felt so
pleasant.”

Hwang-ho laughed out loud as he recalled the head of the student council who had
asked for a solo audience with him 15 years ago.

“So what did Cho Eui-shin ask for?”

“He would like to hold an Alliance of the 12 meeting. Hwangho.”

Hwangho’s eyes sparkled at the proposal of Jeokho.

“It’s not easy to gather them…… okay. But, I have a condition.”

Living for a long time his friends and loved ones all died or fell asleep.

But the eyes of his remaining friends had changed.

After seeing those dead eyes, Hwangho, who lost all motivation had been pursuing
the joy of moments.

‘To think Cho Eui-shin would change these two, and make a move.’

The two friends who visited him today and asked for help were different from
before.

They wore the eyes of warriors standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the battlefield

after a very long time.

“Baekho, Jeokho. Stop wandering outside and come under me. From now on, the
chairman’s residence will be the base. This is my condition.”

The two tigers responded without much complaint.

“Okay.”

“I understand, Hwangho.”

Baekho and Jeokho would have accepted this easily because they wanted to observe
Cho Eui Shin’s actions up close.

Hwang-ho understood their feelings.

“Especially you Baekho. Your name and seat were prepared already in the school.
Come if you are determined.”

“Name?”

“I have already created a family register. The name registered in the database is
called ‘Baekhogun’. I gave you word gun for you, who was once the brother of the
head of the family. In the last dynasty of the Korean peninsula, it was said that the
king’s brother was given a title with that word in it.”

Hwangho’s eyes twinkled and laughed with very little malice.

“It would be funny to call you “Baekhogun-kun”. You’ve never laughed after you lost
your true name. Even with a fake name, you have to leave room for laughs.”

Baekho looked at Hwangho with frost-like eyes.

Even at Hwang-ho’s words, Baek-ho didn’t look particularly upset.

“Let me think about it.”

After Baekho’s words, the brief discussion between the three tiger tribe members
ended.

***

“Changcheon Myeonggung Ham Geun-hyung. Hello.”

“Hello, team leader Hong.”

Hong Gyu-bin and Ham Geun-hyung greeted each other.

‘The two seem to have met before.’

Even after the alias was decided, he was in contact with Hong Gyubin occasionally.

Although Hong Gyu-bin regularly sends out messages and he replies about once
every three times.

“Team leader Hong Gyu-bin, it’s been a while since we’ve met in person. What
brought you to school?”

He guessed why the player association official came to school, but he asked
regardless.

The aim of the association was ‘Enemy Subjugation’ and ‘Player’s Protection’, and the
two were the same this time.
It was an agenda the association had to stand for.

“Hahaha, what do you mean for what. Of course, it is because of ‘work’.”

Hong Gyu-bin smirked as usual.

However, when he looked closely, there were dark circles around his eyes, and his
eyes were red.

Hong Gyubin looked very tired.

“Have you not been getting sleep?”

“Yes, I couldn’t sleep. I was working overtime all year because of the Dream Gate but
on Friday night…… No, the emergency call order came down early on Saturday, so all
the team leaders had to stay up all night.”

In the meantime, Hong Gyubin’s hair was well set, and there were no wrinkles on his
coat and shirt.

As usual, he dressed better than himself, who slept fine without a single dream.

“I learned that there was something wrong with the player SAT-K, and the
association had an emergency. Yesterday, the satellite didn’t send any warnings of
the Enemy that Changcheonmyeonggung-nim defeated in the vicinity of Silver Light
high school.”

Hong Gyu-bin said with a smiling face without breathing.

“There was a psychopath who disturbed the satellite signal among the association’s
employees who were fired because of the Dream Gate incident. For reference, the
psychopath was found naked in the nearby collapsed building, severely injured, and
his body and mind were completely disabled.”

That psychopath probably was one of the perverts he had caught.

It seems that his actions have adjusted the balance between the sick person’s body
and mind.

Not only did he lose his mind, but the body was also crippled.
“If Changcheonmyeonggung had not subjugated all of them, all of the assistant
managers of the satellite management team would have to resign. Still, I have to
write a written apology. Hahahahaha!”

Today’s Hong Gyubin was a little scary.

They were smiling like those who were sick in body and mind.

Ham Geun-hyung thought so too, pulling his shoulder and setting some distance
between him and Hong Gyu-bin.

Hong Gyu-bin’s rampage, the monologue of like shooting a machine gun continued.

“I checked all the accessible recording devices, and it was confirmed that one player
escaped to the school after being chased by Enemy from the collapsing building. The
building owner was Choi Pyeon-deuk, a Silver Light school teacher. And the player
who escaped was Maeng Hyo-don, a student in class 0 in the first grade of Silver
Light. It’s not what I am thinking right? Eui shin is also in the first grade, class 0. Can
you tell me that Hyo-don has been attending school properly and have been good at
school?”

Enemy, part of the Ung family.

An association employee involved in the Dream Gate.

Player satellite signal disturbance.

A building owned by Silver Light teacher Choi Pyeon-deuk.

Permanent expulsion players found in the building.

The escape of Maeng Hyo-don, a silver light student with excellent awards.

With such clues, the Players Association would have figured out what Maeng Hyo-
don went through.

‘I think Hong Gyubin knows exactly.’

Hong Gyubin was trying to force lies and was raising vain hope.
However, Ham Geun-hyung shattered his hopes.

“Maeng Hyo-don is now in school for the first time. You must be busy today.”

If you interpret Ham Geun-hyung’s words, it would be like ‘Your reasoning is correct.
You are working overtime again today.’

“Hahahaha, it’s confirmed overtime all weekend I guess.”

Hong Gyu-bin, who correctly interpreted Ham Geun-hyung’s words, laughed with
despair in his lost eyes.

“I will speak with the public relations team of the Foundation regarding Choi Pyeon
Deuk. So, please cooperate with me for Maeng Hyo-don’s case. Maeng Hyo-don’s
homeroom teacher, Changcheonmyeonggung-nim.”

He was not the only one who thought that sounded like ‘Please help me’.

“Maeng Hyo-don is undergoing examination right now. I’ll talk for him. Let’s go in
first.”

“Yes, please. Deputy Yoon, Employee Jung. Go get the data for the Choi Pyeon Deuk
case. The Foundation’s public relations team is expected to arrive in 15 minutes. I
will join later.”

Hong Gyu-bin gave instructions to two men with school visit permits hanging around
their necks.

“Yes, team leader.”

“Yes, team leader!”

The person, presumed to be Deputy Yoon, turned right away and headed for Eun
Hwi-gwan.

But on the younger-looking man, Jung was not moving.

Instead, he stared at him and Ham Geun-hyung with a serious face.

‘What………?’
Employee Jung suddenly walked toward him and Ham Geun-hyung and unfolded a
hologram.

Ham Geun-hyung moved like the wind and blocked him.

‘Why is he coming here?’

A person believed to be a regular employee opened his mouth.

“Changcheon Myeonggung-nim, can you give me an autograph? I’d like to take a

picture with the unknown supernova as well, and both of your device codes too
please.”

What was he saying now?

Ham Geun-hyung also had a tougher face than usual, as if thinking similarly to him.

Deputy Yoon made a sudden U-turn and came back and grabbed Jung’s neck.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh, deputy. Let me go! Wait, it only takes a minute! Changcheonmyeonggung-nim,

Unknown supernova! Deputy, ah, really!”

Deputy Yoon started dragging a head locked overly cheerful employee away.

Those two who seemed free were somehow like Hong Gyubin’s subordinates.

“………Jung has always been a big fan of the Silver Light players. You can ignore him.
Hahaha.”

Hong Gyu-bin laughed with a voice as if he lost his soul.

***

The reception room located in the Sangin Hall of the central auditorium in the
central area.

Since outside performances were occasionally held in the Sangin Hall, there was a
waiting room and a reception room for VIP only.
‘Can I even be here?’

Currently, there were three people in the reception room: Him, Ham Geun-hyung,
and Hong Gyu-bin.

It was unnatural for him to be with them, but both Ham Geun-hyung and Hong Gyu-
bin allowed his attendance.

“This is a common case. Parents who enslave their player children come out every
year. After the conflict, more and more people gave birth to children with the feeling
of scratching the lottery. It’s rare to find trash that sells them to fight clubs though.”

When Ham Geun-hyung briefly conveyed the situation in which Maeng Hyo-don
faced, Hong Gyu-bin said fervently.

“I will immediately sever the ties between him and his father and prepare a group of
lawyers to solve the debt problem. I will prevent the name of Maeng Hyo-don from
being brought up in the media as well. Instead, there will be a big interview with
Changcheonmyeonggung-nim as a cover up.”

“Okay. I will prepare my interview with the public relations team of Hwangmyeong
Foundation.”

Ham Geun-hyung and Hong Gyu-bin thoroughly discussed future measures.

In summary, the case of Maeng Hyo-don is expected to unfold like this in the future.

The unemployed debtor who sold his son as a slave

VS

Players Association and Hwangmyeong Foundation joint defense team

They had no chance to lose.

If that situation came out in a game, the difficulty will be so low that it will be treated
as a trash game.

The case of Maeng Hyo-don seemed to get resolved without problems.

“I want to have an interview with Maeng Hyo-don, but would it be difficult to do
today? I would like to meet in person as soon as he is stable.”

“Yes. Please contact Maeng Hyo-don through me. Team leader Hong.”

“Hahaha, I thought Changcheonmyeonggung-nim would say so. Then I’ll go for now.”

Hong Gyubin got up from his seat and added a word.

“The person who destroyed Choi Pyeon-deuk’s decadent business. Do you know who
it is? It didn’t remain in the recording device properly.”

“I do not know.”

Ham Geun-hyung answered without sincerity.

Hong Gyu-bin smiled at Ham Geun-hyung once and then at Cho Eui Shin.

“Well, there are not one or two fellows who hide their faces and acts like a vigilante
among players. Like the Red Phantom Thief.”

That Red Phantom Thief nonsense.

Why does that embarrassing title appear here again?

It was related to the Dream Gate, so of course it would come out.

Hong Gyu-bin got up from the seat as if he had no more intention of questioning.

Click.

Then the door to the room opened and someone came in.

The person who entered… No, it was Kim Shinrok, the descendant of the Jin tribe.

‘What did he do to involve himself in this case?’

Although it was convenient to have Kim Shin-rok.

He’s also one of the actual parties involved too.

‘He just looks like an ordinary teacher.’

Kim Shinrok now had nothing of the inhumane gloomy that he saw with school
supplies.

Just as usual, he was making a look that would make a good teacher.

“Mr. Kim Shinrok. Long time no see.”

“Team leader Hong. Hello, were you on the way out?”

“Yes. See you next time.”

Hong Gyu-bin and Kim Shin-rok also greeted each other lightly and separated.

And before leaving the seat completely, Hong Gyubin said a word.

“Then see you next time. Unknown supernova.”

Hong Gyubin left me with a meaningful smile.

No matter how much he thought about it, it was strange that a student was included
in here, so he couldn’t help it.

‘…… If I have to use force, I can pretend that I needed to be present as the vice-
president of class 0 in the first grade.’

However, it was not only him that was strange, but Hong Gyubin was also strange.

‘It’s strange that a team leader level authority was kept on field duty. Does the player
association have a special business philosophy?’

It was a slight discomfort, but he felt there was more to it.

Unlike Jegal Jae-geol, Ham Geun-hyung and Kim Shin-rok were not called “teachers”.

When Hong Gyu-bin called Ham Geun-hyung and Kim Shin-rok, he added “Mr.” or
used the player’s alias.

Although there was no problem at all that he used honorifics and honorifics
properly.

“Student Director, The requested data was sent to the device. Including Hyodon’s test
result. There are still a few more tests left… Shall we talk while heading to the
infirmary?”

“Yes. Cho Eui-shin, let’s go.”

Hearing the story, Kim Shinrok found Maeng Hyo-don and Ham Geun-hyung who
were heading to the infirmary “accidentally” and heard of this incident and decided
to cooperate.

‘You must have followed Ham Geun-hyung to find the timing to intervene.’

Maeng Hyo-don was expected to enter the dormitory soon.

So it wasn’t unusual for Kim Shinrok, an advisor to the Intellectual society to

intervene in this matter, and it was a good thing.

“Hyodon is outside the examination room. CT scans and MRIs seem to be over as
well.”

Kim Shinrok, who had been walking in front, opened the door to the infirmary while
talking.

Cho Eui Shin followed Ham Geun-hyung and also went inside.

‘Is this the infirmary?’

It was like an infirmary in the central area of Korea’s best player special purpose
high school built by the rich foundation.

It was equipped with medical facilities that seemed to have been made by melting
money because of all the expensive equipment.

When it comes to the level of equipment they have, it is as good as the

Hwangmyeong Foundation’s general hospital, where he went with Jang Nam-wook
and Yoo Sang-hoon before.

‘So, that is why they don’t to the hospital and do a close examination at the infirmary
instead.’

Maeng Hyo-don was sitting in the corner of the shining infirmary.

He was wearing loose clothes that looked like he borrowed Ham Geun-hyung’s
clothes.

“Maenghyodon.”

Maeng Hyo-don, who was sitting on the inspection table, turned his head.

When he saw his face, he opened his mouth.

“You… you. Were you okay? Vice-president Cho Eui-shin!”

He showed his real face through his student ID, so he would have recognized it right
away.

Thump thump thump!

Wow, how can he run like that with slippers?

Maeng Hyo-don jumped from the inspection table and came to him in an instant.

Seeing that he’s full of strength, it seems like he’s not really hurt at all.

“I thought I was going to die, you Vice-president piece of shit!”

“If you didn’t get hurt then it’s fine. Did you eat yet?”

“I still have to fast because I still have some tests left.”

“Yeah? I just got here after eating.”

“You bastard.”

Maeng Hyo-don’s mouth, who responded to his jokes, was rough but had a face
mixed with sadness and smile.

It was fortunate that he could afford to laugh at least half of the time.
He didn’t want to see the head of Maeng Hyo-don, who was bowing his head, ever
again.

He gave Maeng Hyo-don the most important thing to say.

“Hey, keep it a secret that I saved you.”

“Why?”

It would be embarrassing if people found out that the Red Phantom Thief was him.

“Just pretend you don’t know. Because I smashed everything there. It’s going to cause
some issues if they find out I am involved.”

“………okay.”

Maeng Hyo-don had a look saying that he did not understand, but nodded.

Feeling at ease, He talked about random stuff with Maeng Hyo Don.

Did he sleep well, what did he want to eat for dinner today, when will he officially
enter the dormitory.

Trivial talks like that.

Ham Geun-hyung and Kim Shin-rok were looking at the two of them chatting with
faces filled with longing and gratitude.

Somehow, his back felt creepy.

It was a similar sensation to when he first heard the word Red Phantom Thief.

“……He is similar with him in that he tries to hide his good deeds as well.”

What was Ham Geun-hyung talking about?

The biggest reason the Unknown Supernova hid his power was because of the
embarrassing title of the Red Phantom Thief.

“Yes. Eui shin is an excellent student.”

Kim Shinrok also said with an inhuman expression for a moment.

He didn’t know what this descendant of the Jin tribe was thinking.

‘If I talk out here for no reason, it might bring up the story of the Red Phantom Thief.

He decided to shut up.

That evening, Maeng Hyo-don, Ham Geun-hyung, and Kim Shin-rok, the four of them
ate at the dormitory restaurant.

Eating out was difficult because the Hwangmyeong Foundation’s legal team and
public relations team issued a ban on going out.

‘I wanted to eat something delicious outside.’

Fortunately, Maeng Hyo-don seemed very satisfied with the dorm meal.

“Hey, vice-president…… Is the food in the dormitory always this delicious…?”

Maeng Hyo-don scooped up a bowl of food and ate it, and said in a thrilled voice.

He ate dinner with a happy face.

He had to talk to him to try to make him eat slowly.

‘I am full just by looking at him.’

The dormitory restaurant was buffet-style, so he didn’t know the exact amount, but
he thought he ate at least 5 servings.

Thanks to him really enjoying the food, Cho Eui Shin also enjoyed it.

Among the dorm meals he has eaten so far, today felt the most delicious.

Then came Sunday.

This case was published as an article.
