EX rank supporting role's replay in a prestigious school

Chapter 818

Facing the Imminent Assassination Scenario of Seong Guk-eon and Jeon Moo-young, I Was Confronted with Another Massive Crisis.

As soon as Sa Wol-seum saw me, he welcomed me with an urgent look on his face.

"Yi-shin, you're here! We've had to fight a tough battle while you were gone."

Sa Wol-seum led me to the Ziegghweigh Study Room.

Once I entered, I saw Kwon Re-na, with a pale face, and Mok Woo-ram, who was earnestly explaining something.

Turning my gaze to the corner of the room, I noticed something that looked like a leftover stone.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Maeng Hyo-don, collapsed from exhaustion after a fight with the math department.

The midterm exams were about to begin.

The First Midterms for First-Year Students at Eungwang High:

Most of the first-year students, preparing for their first midterms at Eungwang High, looked like they were on the verge of death.

As expected, though, there were exceptions.

"Yi-shin hyung, hello."

At the dormitory cafeteria, in the morning.

Eun-ho appeared as refreshed as ever.

Even with the midterm exams coming up, his routine hadn't changed, just like when Cheon Seong-heon was around.

When the exam period arrived, most people’s faces would turn pale, or they would dress in overly casual clothes, but Cheon Seong-heon had always been consistent.

Just like now.

"I heard that Yi-shin hyung is taking good care of the students in our class. The other class kids are even envious."

"I haven’t done anything."

"That’s not true. This isn't just my opinion, but what the first-year students have been saying."

Eun-ho smiled softly, emphasizing that it was the opinion of others, not his.

His tendency to exaggerate was still the same.

It seemed that even though I just did normal things, it was exaggerated because of the influence of seniors from Class 0 like Woo Gi-hwan and Geum Chan-wang-chan, who made ordinary actions look like something great.

‘Since I can’t visit the first-year area often, there’s not much opportunity to check on them.’

I see the first-year students from Class 0 and new members of the newspaper club and dormitory regularly, but that's about it.

They are all good kids, so I guess a few of them have said nice things about me.

Eun-ho continued speaking.

"Over the weekend, Seok-won went a few days without food and collapsed while doing experiments. He said he avoided a mishap by remembering the emergency food and electrolyte drink you gave him. He kept talking about it when I ran into him yesterday."

I never thought I’d get close to Chae Seok-won, who normally spends his free time glued to his experiments, but thanks to Eun-ho, I ended up opening up to him.

Considering Chae Seok-won’s behavior, I had prepared a few things for him, and it seems to have helped.

He almost collapsed in the end, so I couldn’t say my help was extraordinary.

My first concern was Chae Seok-won’s physical condition.

"Is he alright?"

"Yeah. Just to be safe, I suggested to the Ziegghweigh that they pay attention to the health of the dorm students. After all, one of them almost had a major incident in the dorm, so they should be keeping an eye on it."

I’m so glad that Eun-ho, who looks after others so well, was assigned to the room next to Chae Seok-won.

This year, Ziegghweigh’s management had been shaky due to a poorly elected president, but with Eun-ho among the dorm students, I felt I didn’t have to worry too much.

Eun-ho had made such a suggestion, but if there were no measures taken and a similar problem occurred again, it would just be the fault of the Ziegghweigh president, right?

I was relieved that there were other capable individuals like Park Seung-hyun among the dorm students, as I made my way to school.

‘The cherry blossoms are still in bloom this year.’

When Shin Su-ga wishes, the cherry blossoms bloom longer.

Last year, thanks to the angel’s miraculous powers, the cherry blossoms bloomed for an extended period, and it was a miracle that happened again.

Last year, the cherry blossoms stayed in bloom until the midterm exams were over, and it seemed like it would be the same this year.

Despite the brilliant color of the cherry blossoms, the students on their way to school had deathly expressions, staring at their holograms or muttering to themselves, making it feel like such a waste.

"Suspicious vice president, you seem too calm."

Moon Sae-ron, who had been taking pictures of the cherry blossoms, spotted me and spoke up.

Moon Sae-ron, too, seemed to be taking things easy, prioritizing interviews over studying for the exam.

Thanks to Moon Sae-ron’s diligence, people outside of Eungwang High would also be able to see the pictures of the cherry blossoms.

Since it had been a while, Moon Sae-ron walked over to me, suggesting we go to school together.

Then, suddenly, Moon Sae-ron lowered his voice.

"A martial artist from the Jeolhyeokpungrim sent us a lot of brush pens."

From what Sa Wol-seum and Mok Woo-ram said, it seemed the situation had been even more serious before.

I thought Jeolhyeokpungrim had been completely consumed by the concept, but it seemed they still had the common sense to provide brush pens.

After hearing Sa Wol-seum and Mok Woo-ram, Jin Jeong-muk replied.

"I still prefer using a brush. But since the movements of the Black Sect have been unusual, I couldn’t ignore this gift from the seniors."

It seemed Jeolhyeokpungrim was busy dealing with the Formor demon clan.

Jin Jeong-muk appeared to prioritize exterminating the Black Sect over studying, but he was still diligently attending classes, unwilling to go against the wishes of his seniors.

I hoped that, given the situation, he would study hard with the brush pens.

"Vice President... I’m sorry..."

Suddenly, Maeng Hyo-don apologized.

The problem sheet he handed over was filled with mistakes and question marks.

It seemed he had a lot of questions.

"It’s okay. Explain how you tried to solve it."

"I thought I should use this formula for this problem..."

Maeng Hyo-don seemed to have really put a lot of thought into it.

Having experience tutoring, I could immediately tell whether a student had studied or not.

Maeng Hyo-don looked like he had truly done his best, almost like a stone grinding to dust.

It took a lot of time, but Maeng Hyo-don successfully understood my explanation.

"Ah... I don’t know why it’s not working. I’m really sorry..."

I praised Maeng Hyo-don for doing his best, but he just kept apologizing.

Since it took so long to work through the problems, I think he felt like he was wasting my time.

Seeing him apologize so much, I decided to give him a hint.

"If you’re sorry, make sure you set up an appointment for Teacher’s Day and go to Tanrae with me."

"Huh... on Teacher’s Day?"

"Yeah, we should give the teacher a carnation. We’re still in touch these days."

Honestly, right now, Maeng Hyo-don should be more concerned about his math grades.

But I decided to let him know in advance.

‘I wanted to go with him and say thank you, but it can’t be helped.’

I really wanted to accompany him on Teacher’s Day to make sure he didn’t lose focus, but I had an important commitment this year and couldn’t go.

Maeng Hyo-don hesitated but nodded.

‘It seems like he’ll manage to get through this midterm.’

In the worst case, Maeng Hyo-don might have to take a supplementary exam, but at this rate, with such effort, I don’t think he’ll fail.

The real problem wasn’t the midterm exam, though.

My playable character was facing a horrific and painful test.

‘Cheon Dong-ha is still challenging the former head of the Korean branch, I wonder if he’ll be alright?’

Cheon Dong-ha had been busy, trying to challenge the former head of the Korean branch, but he had made adjustments to his schedule.

‘I hope he doesn’t overdo it.’

I was worried about Cheon Dong-ha, but decided not to express it.

Wasn’t he trying to reassure me back then?

I decided to wait patiently and not rush him, thinking that he might be trying to hurry the strategy.

The weekend before the midterm exams, I finally received a message from Cheon Dong-ha.

[Cheon Dong-ha] Passed.

Cheon Dong-ha had successfully passed the former head of the Korean branch’s exam.

After congratulating him, I made a suggestion.

[Me] I’d like to introduce you to someone.

[Cheon Dong-ha] You’re not going to introduce another AI, are you?

Though it was related to the AI, this time I was planning to introduce a real human being.

There were still people who needed to check the information left behind by the former head of the Korean branch.

[Me] It’s his grandchild.

I’ll need to set up a meeting with Seong Guk-eon soon.
