EX rank supporting role's replay in a prestigious school

Chapter 912

After the final exams ended and the grades were confirmed, summer vacation would begin immediately.

Though the exact dates hadn’t been set, we would have a few days off before starting the training camp.

In order to finalize the schedules and secure the locations for the Youth Exchange representatives, we needed to plan ahead.

Since time was tight, it seemed that the student council had already started preparing during the exam period.

Yeom Jun-yeol shared his plan to select the participants based on the competition categories and then organize training accordingly.

"The schedule management is entrusted to the students, but let me know if you need any help from the school," he said.

"...I’m looking for someone to act as the coach. Please check the teachers’ schedules. The faculty advisor has agreed to participate," I replied.

The old tiger’s presence in this room made it hard to tell whether he was here as a senior or as the chairman.

Yeom Jun-yeol smiled awkwardly as he made his request, and Huang Ji-ho quickly took action.

Without any intention of hiding his use of a clone, Huang Ji-ho immediately sent a hologram through his device.

"I’ve put together a preliminary list. It will increase once the camp duration is finalized," Huang Ji-ho said.

"...Thanks. I’ll use it to contact the teachers," I replied.

Their conversation was awkward, but with Yeom Jun-yeol’s effort, it moved along somewhat smoothly.

While Yeom Jun-yeol was confirming the list, I turned on my device and quickly wrote up a training plan.

Most of the selected participants were my playable characters, so I already had some thoughts, and creating a training plan didn’t take long.

Honestly, anyone who had played Plmago properly would be able to do this.

You have to create a training plan that fits each character’s traits and then execute it to level up all of them.

"Jo Eui-shin, you’ve already written the plan? That was quick," Yeom Jun-yeol said.

It was slower than the old tiger’s use of a clone to compile a list, but still fast.

Instead of responding to Huang Ji-ho’s comment, I sent a hologram to Yeom Jun-yeol.

"I’ve created a training plan based on the categories. Since the participants haven’t selected their events yet and my personal opinions are heavily reflected, there will likely be many adjustments needed," I explained.

"To do it this quickly... Thanks, Eui-shin. This will help us finalize the schedule quickly!" Yeom Jun-yeol responded, expressing his gratitude.

He sincerely thanked me, even though Huang Ji-ho was right there.

"I wanted to ask my teacher. Thank you," he added.

"Hahaha! The sight of Jo Eui-shin receiving gratitude from his disciple is quite amusing. There are many shameless dragons, but this descendant knows manners," Huang Ji-ho said, observing with interest before bursting into laughter. I ignored him.

Yeom Jun-yeol seemed to still feel Huang Ji-ho’s presence strongly, but he would likely get used to it soon.

‘If the student council plans the schedule according to this, it will be easier to make strategic moves.’

In the training plan I created, participants who chose certain categories or positions were given slightly longer personal training times.

Though no one had decided on their categories yet, I could already guess based on the participants’ tendencies and skills.

I planned to actively engage and observe the training process, particularly focusing on those who had shown weaknesses during the selection rounds.

"Jo Eui-shin, what are you thinking again? Don’t forget your body isn’t fully healed yet," Huang Ji-ho warned.

"...I was thinking about the letters used in the Inung Eating link," I replied.

I wasn’t lying since I had been thinking about Yeom Jun-yeol’s first consultation as well.

The name "Qingchen" refers to the early morning light.

It reminded me of "Qingchen" (清晨), which means clear morning, and it fit the building perfectly.

The walls and pillars of the pavilion were made of ebony, with blue gem powder sprinkled over them, giving the impression of the night sky just before dawn.

As Huang Ji-ho said, the location was so good that it seemed like watching the sunrise from the Qingchen Pavilion would be magnificent.

However, when Huang Ji-ho heard the name "Qingchen Pavilion," he frowned and clicked his tongue.

"It’s named after Jo Eui-shin, isn’t it? Are you seriously thinking of making this pavilion yours?" he asked.

"Yeah, it’s almost like mine," I replied.

I hadn’t expected it, but it seemed the "shen" in Qingchen Pavilion was taken from my name, Jo Eui-shin.

Though it was difficult to give me Qinglong Palace, Qinglong had decided to build a pavilion named after me instead.

I had heard Huang Long had also built a new pavilion before, so it seemed like these dragons really followed through with their plans.

‘I’d like to tell Qinglong to rename it, but since he’s not here, I can’t. These things only become harder to change as time passes...’

If Qinglong or Huang Long were around, they would probably have scolded me for passing this off to them, but since only one of their descendants was here, I couldn’t say much.

I wondered why no other dragons were present while Yeom Jun-yeol was here, but maybe this was the reason.

It seemed like Yeom Jun-yeol had been waiting for this topic to come up, as he continued.

"Also, the Dragon King and Uncle Qinglong said that if Eui-shin becomes a member of the dragon race, they’ll give him the nickname ‘Morning Dragon,’ or ‘Shenlong.’"

"Morning Dragon? A member of the dragon race? It seems the dragons have forgotten that Jo Eui-shin is a human and the benefactor of the Ho Clan," Huang Ji-ho said, looking incredulous.

Despite his intimidating age, Huang Ji-ho’s presence still carried weight, and Yeom Jun-yeol responded with a smile.

"Yeah, I know. But the dragons here are mostly Eui-shin’s, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to have a dragon title. Right?"

"Jo Eui-shin, I’ll give you a title from the Ho Clan first. I’ll pick about ten candidates and let you choose from them..." Huang Ji-ho started.

"Enough," I cut him off.

After that, Huang Ji-ho continued grumbling, while Yeom Jun-yeol handled it with maturity.

Huang Ji-ho kept picking at things, saying, "I’ve heard that Qinglong and Uncle Huang Long are involved. It’s embarrassing that this body hasn’t asked my descendants to call me anything like that."

If Kim Shin-rok heard him calling Huang Long "Uncle Huang," he’d probably like it.

The other descendants, including Unseoh, Unihyo, and Unjaeho, were grandchildren of Unho, who was Huang Ji-ho’s close friend and Baekho’s younger brother.

In a way, they were older than him, so instead of calling him ‘older brother’ or ‘uncle,’ they should call him ‘Grandfather Huang.’ But Huang Ji-ho probably didn’t like it, so he never said anything about it.

"Then Kim Shin-rok doesn’t call you ‘Uncle Huang Long,’ does he? He calls you ‘Huang Long-nim,’ right?"

"...Yes."

"Well, it seems there’s a difference in naming conventions between the dragon race and humans. I’ll discuss with the dragons here about what titles to use when calling you outside, to avoid causing any discomfort."

"......"

Yeom Jun-yeol’s innocent counter made Huang Ji-ho fall silent.

It was clear that Yeom Jun-yeol was close to the dragons, unlike Kim Shin-rok, who wasn’t as familiar with them.

‘But Kim Shin-rok has changed a lot, and he’s become stronger. He’s gained enough power to face the Ong Tribe too. Maybe one day he’ll call Huang Ji-ho "Uncle." I have no idea when, though.’

I thought this but didn’t say it aloud.

Leaving Huang Ji-ho sulking, I resumed studying for the exams with Yeom Jun-yeol.
