EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

Support Ex-Rank

The command center at the Student Association Hall.

Students with insight skills were busy collecting information.

There was no sign of backup from outside yet, but no one was frustrated.

Most of the news collected were victories from each exit.

In addition, the students believed that the association, professional player teams, and teachers who didn’t come to school would resolve the problem before the day changed.

However, three people couldn’t feel the same.

Do Wonwoo, Ji Myungsoo, and Moon Saeron.

The three understood that the flow of time inside and outside the school is different.

‘The opponents distorted the flow of time. I’m sure they’ve got their hands outside the school too. There are plenty of means to disrupt the association and professional player teams.’

The opponents made a bold move of turning the school into a huge prison, slowing down the flow of time, and making enemies and royal lineage attacks.

It was hard to guess how much power was needed to make this happen.

Such an opponent would’ve made thorough efforts to prevent outside help from reaching the school.

‘It’s highly likely that they measured the power of Eungwang High in advance and bought enough time for annihilation.’

Contrary to the students’ expectations, outside support will not come.

Even if it does, it will come very late.

Behind his expressionless face, Do Wonwoo was furious.

‘What the hell are these people after? Why do they need to drive the students to this level of suffering…!’

Do Wonwoo didn’t know the opponent’s ultimate goal.

However, it was clear that huge malice was indiscriminately trying to harm Eungwang High and its people.

If this is left unattended, the students’ physical strengths and powers would run out and they will be wiped out.

Do Wonwoo had no choice but to fight against the invisible enemy.

“If this is really happening, I think we should escape. We should go out through the emergency exit.”

Ji Myungsoo, who had been silent for a long time, spoke his mind.

Do Wonwoo felt the same.

It’s not well-known among students, but there are several emergency exits in Eungwang High in case of the malfunctioning of the boundary.

The emergency exit is a one-way road and can only be used for leaving the school from the inside.

Currently, thanks to the students gathered after Do Wonwoo’s broadcast, the power is quite concentrated in the student association hall.

It may be possible to clear the way to the emergency exit.

Do Wonwoo had an idea for escape, but he soon changed his mind.

‘Wouldn’t the enemy be prepared for the emergency exit too?’

The opponent seemed to be well aware of the school’s boundary, so they may know about the emergency exit too.

Before Do Wonwoo said so, one of the students gave a report.

“Do Wonwoo sunbaenim, there’s a message from the Jiikhoe.”

“A message?”

The communication signal was currently cut off in Eungwang High.

The only channels for communication are Do Wonwoo’s on-campus broadcast and messages exchanged through abilities.

This time, the message seemed to come through the latter.

“Yes, it was sent by a member of the newspaper department who was in charge of communication there.”

Moon Saeron, who was watching from the side, added an explanation.

The sophomore newspaper department member sent a note to the student association hall through a transfer skill.

Large items can’t be sent, and if the distance increases, the consumption of energy waves is severe.

And so the situation of Jiikhoe was written in a small note.

Jiikhoe was staging a sit-in at Jiikhoe Hall with the students from the residential area.

Students who had no intention of participating in the school event and those who were set to come to school in the afternoon remained in the dormitory, so there were quite a lot of students there as well.

Do Wonwoo, who was calmly checking the contents of the note, spoke.

“An otherworld spawned at the emergency exit near Cheonik Mountain. Rarity is presumed to be SSR-rank. They’re attacking it.”

“…!”

Ji Myungsoo’s face clouded when the contents of the note was read.

It was strange that an otherworld occurred inside Eungwang High, and it spawned right around the emergency exit near Cheonik Mountain.

It was as if students were anticipated to escape from there.

“There’s a trap at the emergency exit.”

They were considering leaving the school just now.

Do Wonwoo couldn’t take his eyes off the word “attacking” from the note.

‘It wouldn’t be too difficult since Sung Siwan is there. The problem is if it’s not just an otherworld…’

He was worried about Jiikhoe, but he couldn’t afford to share his power.

A royal lineage appeared at Exit 1 and the sophomores arrived late.

The defense line could’ve collapsed earlier.

While Do Wonwoo’s worries were deepening…

“Oh, President Joo is here.”

As Moon Saeron said, Joo Soohyuk entered the Student Association Hall.

Behind him were Maeng Hyodon and Yoo Sanghoon with sulking faces.

Joo Soohyuk went straight to Moon Saeron as if there was a problem.

“Saeron-ah, there’s a favor I’d like to ask you…”

“Wait, there’s something I want to check first.”

“What?”

Do Wonwoo called out Joo Soohyuk.

“There are two things I want you to check with your Seer skill.”

Seer is a skill that lets one see as if looking through a telescope as long as there’s no boundary in the way.

The first place that Do Wonwoo wanted to check was the clock tower at the main gate.

“The hands are a little bit weird. Is the hour hand broken? I don’t think it’s moving…”

“Observe the tower for about a minute.”

As a result of observing according to Do Wonwoo’s instructions, he confirmed that the time indicated in the clock tower was moving ten times slower.

The second place that Do Wonwoo wanted to check was a part of the Cheonik Mountain.

Joo Soohyuk used his skill and looked toward the coordinates set by Do Wonwoo.

The first thing he saw was students fighting in and around the otherworld.

“Jiikhoe is attacking an otherworld right now! Looking at the entrance, it seems to be quite large.”

“How long do you think the attack will take?”

“I’m not sure… I can’t see inside the otherworld, but wouldn’t it take about an hour considering its size?”

Do Wonwoo barely kept in his sigh at Joo Soohyuk’s words.

It was difficult to escape if there’s an otherworld that big at each emergency exit.

Students would be exposed to enemies while attacking otherworlds, and damage is sure to be taken.

Do Wonwoo felt trapped inside a huge prison.

***

Near the freshmen area.

When the recovered Yong Jegun and Jeokho joined hands, the Bears were no longer as huge of a threat.

Baekho wiped out all the minions and made Beonmin unable to fight.

At least the only one left standing on two feet was the Bear of Anguish.

“Let’s make a deal…!”

“You like deals. Useless beings like you are nothing but my son’s torture material.”

Fwiijiiik!

Jeokho fired a red lightning through the gap between Beonmin’s open mouth.

He wanted to burn his tongue, but Beonmin hurriedly turned, the lightning only hitting his lip and cheeks.

‘He has the perfect advantage, but he’s only doing this kind of attack…?’

It was a humiliating and stinging blow, but it wasn’t enough to fatally injure Beonmin.

If Jeokho decides to do so, he could destroy his entire skin, including the land where he’s standing on, with a single strike of lightning.

Nevertheless, Jeokho only aimed for his mouth.

It was like watching a tiger play with his food.

Yong Jegun was watching with a smile.

Of course, he wasn’t really just looking.

The spatial technique created by Yong Jegun surrounded Kim Shinrok, making it impossible to attack or kidnap him.

‘But that kid’s still a weakness!’

Beonmin touched his burning mouth.

He looked at Kim Shinrok and spoke.

“…For that student’s life, I offer a deal to Jeokho’s son!”

The Bear Clan have long been aware of Kim Shinrok’s trends.

Kim Shinrok is their descendant and therefore couldn’t resist against them, but they’ve also prepared a card against his mentality just in case.

His weakness was his students.

Kim Shinrok changes his face and name while he works for Eungwang HIgh.

Kim Shinrok had a weak spot for his students, even though he only serves for three years at a time.

‘It’s sad that the descendant is treated coldly among the Tiger Clan, but Jeokho and his friends are different. He’s treated as a son and nephew.’

If Kim Shinrok pleaded, those people would’ve listened.

The same goes for his best friend, the Cintamani.

“A student’s life? I’m a teacher too, so tell me.”

When Yong Jegun said so, Beonmin beamed inside.

He doesn’t know if the plan would be ruined if he shares a little information, but Beonmin decided to prioritize his safety.

“The Bear Clan and Demon Race are prepraring for rituals in various parts of Eungwang High. I can’t reveal the exact number, but it’s more than two digits. If they succeed, there will be a greater number of otherworlds that would appear, and enemies will attack the students.”

Beonmin revealed the information as if he were doing them a favor.

All emergency exits will be blocked so students couldn’t go outside school, nor can support from the outside come in.

Kim Shinrok couldn’t see his expression because Beonmin’s head was lowered, and it seems that the latter was nervous.

“Unless you have the ability to look over the vast Eungwang High, you won’t be able to locate where the rituals are going to happen.”

Beonmin spoke confidently.

There may be a few students with insight skills, but they can only look through designated places.

The only problem that they have is Cheon Dongha who can see through the skies and grounds, but they already dealt with him beforehand.

Therefore, Beonmin thought that it’s impossible to locate those who are preparing for the ritual.

Thinking that the deal would almost work, Beonmin was so excited that the pain in his lips almost disappeared.

“Let me go. That way, I’ll tell you the locations as many as the number of people you’re letting go of here.”

Beonmin calculated the number of men he wants to be saved.

He thought it would be okay as long as he won’t sell out all the locations for the ritual.

Beonmin wanted for Kim Shinrok’s answer, but what he heard was Yong Jegun’s smiling voice.

“Wow, things are really going as the benefactor expected.”

Fury, rejection, despondency, conviction, persuasion…

None of those things that Beonmin expected was in Yong Jegun’s face.

Yong Jegun just looked terribly excited.

The moment Beonmin doubted his eyes.

Crack! Tak!

Beonmin’s right arm rolled to the floor.

The fingers that gripped his weapon and clothes had fallen mercilessly to the ground.

His mind became blurry due to the severe pain.

Following the blow that came out of nowhere, he heard a chilling voice.

“My student’s ears are going to get dirty. Shut your mouth.”

When Baekho finished speaking, Kim Shinrok slowly raised his head beyond the space created by Yong Jegun.

He had a determined look on his face.

“Even if I don’t make a deal with you…”

Kim Shinrok’s voice was full of faith.

“The students of Eungwang High will find them all.”
