EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

Eunkwang Highschool’s research area building no. 4, at the basement of Eun-young building, there is a facility on a floor that is not marked.

These days, Shin-lok Kim comes to this place every day for the Bear Clan interrogation.

‘Let’s hope something useful comes up today.’

First the Red Tiger, then the Golden Tiger’s assistant interrogated the Bear Clan but earned nothing.

Now, with the Red Tiger’s recommendation and the Golden Tiger’s permission, Shin-lok was in charge of the Bear Clan.

Psh-.

After a few security procedures and a few doors, he arrived at the chamber where the Bear Clan were arrested alive and imprisoned.

Some Tiger Clan guards sent from the Hwang-myung Group stood in front of the gate.

Shin-lok smiled with an expressionless look Ui-shin Cho remarked as ‘not humanlike at all’.

“Hello.”

No one answered.

The two Tiger Clan guards just gave him a glance with approval to enter.

The way they treated him was not like the way the original clan members treated the Descendants.

Shin-lok, who was the descendant of the Bear Clan- not just any bear, but was the descendant of Ung-nyeo, the person who made Red Tiger like this- understood his situation well.

He never expected hospitality, so without any discouragement, Shin-lok went inside.

‘The Golden Tiger said he didn’t expect anything…… but I want to achieve something. There’s so much I want to know, too.’

The descendants of the original clan members are restricted to blood and origin.

However, since Originals love their Descendants, and Descendants respect the Originals with all their heart, the restrictions were meaningless.

There were exceptions, but the exceptions quickly disappeared.

‘Because usually, the descendant dies when the Originals and Descendants don’t get along.’

Descendants cannot counter Originals due to bloodline, so they die off quickly after the Originals turn against them.

It is said that Descendants cannot even fake a counteractive motion to the Originals, but the specific extent is unknown.

‘This is a chance. I can figure out how much Descendants can oppose to the Originals. There are lots of subjects, except that Tiger clan guy’s worst enemy. I’ll have to give up that one.’

That guy went directly to the Golden Tiger and begged, on his knees, ‘Please let me get my revenge.’

Golden Tiger gladly accepted it and handed the Bear clan guy over to him.

Shin-lok heard that the revenge was happening in a place under Hwang-myung Group’s surveillance, just in case.

‘I will thoroughly use the remaining five subjects. I need to know for sure how much I can fight against the Bear clan.’

The chief sorcerer of the Tiger clan made five barriers to trap the Bear clan.

In order to increase the effect of torture, the chief sorcerer planted curses and sorcery in the bodies of the Bear people.

As long as the Bear people are in this barrier, time will feel like it is going very slowly.

‘Only a month or two have passed, but they will feel like it’s been decades.’

Injul, the boundary line of the barrier, was approved by the leader Golden Tiger and was shining softly in gold.

‘It’s disgusting that the people in here are connected to the source of my existence.’

One was caught on the day the trash tied in red mold was born.

The other four are the Bear clan who dared to harm the descendants of silver fox.

Although the origin of shin-lok was connected to them, all of them tried to violate the authority of God and kill the descendants of silver fox or their own.

There was no reason to hesitate their torture.

Whoosh-.

As Kim Shin-lok walked toward the layered golden line, the injul became transparent with a whooshing sound.

When he entered the chamber, he saw five doors.

Kim Shin-lok opened the door on the leftmost side.

The first room.

The Bear clan person with taming abilities and lost both arms was lying on an ugly stuffed doll.

Shin-lok grabbed the stuffed doll and put it in front of his zoned-out eyes.

“You like this one, huh? Then I should get rid of it.”

“Oooh…… Ahah……”

“No? Then speak. Tell me about ‘the one’.”

All the Bear clan tamer did was open and close his mouth.

Shin-lok counted to ten, then cut off the doll’s head with zig-zag scissors.

Rrrip-.

The scissor blades were relatively dull, so rather than cut, it became more of a “rip”.

A clump of what used to be the stuffed doll fell in front of the tamer.

“Aahh!”

Due to confusion and sorcery, the tamer who mistook the stuffed doll as his favorite Enemy, screamed bitterly.

He was a Bear clan who treated the Enemies he created like consumables to kill people and the Tiger clan, but there must have been an Enemy that he cared for like his own.

“If you want to protect your child, you’d better talk about ‘him’.”

Kim Shin-lok treaded on the stuffed doll, making it impossible to recognize its shape, and then went out of the room.

The second room.

The Bear clan person tied to the black frame was muttering something.

Kim Shin-lok brought his ears to its mouth and shook his head.

“You want me to kill you? That’s impossible. I can’t kill you because I’m your descendant. And I don’t mean to kill someone who tried to kill them that easily.”

If this continues, the prisoner might soon ask for death in return for information.

“Give me information if you want to die.”

Shin-lok came out of the room leaving that word behind.

Of course, he wouldn’t think of killing his experiment subjects even if they did give him information.

The third room.

A skinny Bear clan was crawling the floor when he entered. The person saw him and gasped.

Shin-lok looked around and spoke as if to calm a child.

“I told you not to eat lead no matter how hungry you may be.”

The mechanical pencil case he left as a spare was empty.

He was obviously blocking the energy source with the purpose to starve the Bear clan to death.

However, he did not feel the unique constraints of the descendants.

‘You can’t attack literally, but it’s possible to drive them indirectly to death. This headstrong Bear clan is in such a tight spot to steal graphite. The experiment is a success.’

Shin-lok laughed eerily and tossed him a rice ball.

The Bear clan gulped down his meal with a gratified look on his face.

The fourth room.

There was a Bear clan with a speck of what Nightmare Insomnia, a supernatural being, had left during his lifetime planted in his body.

He must have just woke up from a dream because the person’s face was filled with fear and tears.

The Bear clan out of breath found Shin-lok and tried to hug him.

Thwat-.

“If you try to touch me again, you will swallow thumbtacks.”

Shin-lok did not hide his disgust and avoided the Bear clan.

The Bear clan burst into tears, hugged itself, and trembled uncontrollably.

He’s only given the slightest bit of insomnia, but nightmares must be powerful.

“What did you see in your nightmares? I’ll let you fall asleep without a dream according to your answer.”

The person immediately opened his mouth and began to recite what he saw, but all the information sounded useless.

Shin-lok turned his back and went out of the room when he stopped talking.

“Dream more useful things next time.”

Today, that person will face nightmares again.

The last and fifth room.

A room filled with hypnosis scent made by the Deer clan.

Shin-lok put an

antidote pill in his mouth and went inside.

Even with the antidote, his head became drowsy for a moment.

“Put……out…… the scent…… please…….”

Perhaps the air circulated when Shin-lok came in, the bear clan’s conscious came back.

Shin-lok didn’t answer but raised the level of the scent of the bronze incense burner.

“Ahh…no…”

The Bear clan couldn’t control his body due to the strong scent and stumbled.

The scent made him wander between the past and present.

‘…. The Bear clan seems to be at their limits. It’s time they said something.’

Shin-lok had a sharp sense and talent of torture and interrogation.

His guts were telling him that this guy was about to give him something important.

“Humble…. Being…”

“Humble being?”

“How dare a humble being…. gain his favor….”

Humble being, his.

Both were unheard of from this person.

Shin-lok was sure that this was his ‘achievement’.

Morning, freshmen class 0.

A sweet scent greeted those who went inside.

“I should’ve made that together.”

“Thank goodness our menus aren’t clashing!”

The class desks were clustered at the center.

Lenna and Yuri were taking out s-shaped chocolate butter cookies and cinnamon roll scones.

“Hi, Ui-shin.”

“Hi! Lenna and I brought some snacks. Let’s eat them together at the morning announcement when Mr. Geun-hyung comes!”

Lenna had made these as a thank-you gift for those who helped her with the ticketing. She had asked the dormitory kitchen staff, where she was working part-time if she could use the kitchen.

Yuri had made them for me and Hyo-don, who had gone through all sorts of trouble on children’s day.

Soon the other classmates came, and we started to talk about the children’s day incident.

“Wow, did you go right away when Mr. Yong Jae-gun told you to go to the otherworld?”

“Whoa… I would’ve hesitated a lot.”

“So you can use your flying skills in that way! I want to see how the Dragon clan uses his flying skills, too.”

They talked about the incident while waiting for their teacher.

Hyo-don spoke some and the others asked questions and the conversation continued.

Meanwhile, Jiho, who was silent, came to me with a twinkle in his eye.

‘It must be important since he’s not talking via device message.’

However, today I am too busy to go to Hwang Myung-ho’s mansion.

I ignored Jiho’s stare and focused on my classmates’ gossip.

Not long after, Geun-hyung came in and we all tasted the handmade desserts the two prepared.

Hani, who likes sweets, savored every bite with a happy face, and Hyo-don, who was still awkward with girls, didn’t keep his compliments.

Lunchtime.

I read the news on the freshmen’s trail before going to class.

The incident on children’s day was still an issue.

‘There’s a lot of comments on the Red Tiger and Jun-yeoul Yeom…… but Won-ooh Do is hot, too.’

The number of likes the comment that praised Steel’s wedge got easily exceeded for digits.

Not as much as Jun-yeoul, but still popular.

Won-ooh was known for looking like a passionate cartoon character even in the game.

In addition to being an excellent player, student council president, #1 student at a prestigious high school, and a hard worker, he also had support from the TC Group corporation.

He had the ability to calm the sophomore class 0’s Gum-chan-wang-chan combination, so it was obvious he was good.

‘…… why does he embarrass himself in front of Sang-hee Yoo?’

I knew it was a concern that can’t be helped.

“Ui-shin.”

Someone who approached without a sound called me.

His voice was kind and gentle.

‘Mr. Chung-hwon Kong.’

It was Chung-hwon Kong, Hani’s teacher, who taught the theory of Enemy.

Maybe it was because he was a master of Taeho arts.

He easily walked silently, like breathing.

Not good in school, for the students.

“I was worried. You didn’t come to class last time.”

“…… sorry.”

“You are a great student, so I assumed you had personal matters. Contact me next time, and I’ll send class notes.”

He smiled gently and gave me his device code.

Perhaps it’s because of what I did and the chapters I’ll need to study for the exam is hell, his smile seemed a bit scary.

“You did well, at the children’s day incident.”

“……Thank you.”

When we exchanged words awkwardly, the orchestra’s school bell rang.

‘It’s Peer Gynt’s suite.’

‘In the Hall of the Mountain King,’ by Edvard Grieg, also nicknamed the ‘Norway’s Chopin’.

It was a song in the scene in which Peer Gynt entered the palace of her father, King Troll, to seduce the green woman, and ran away after watching the monster’s festival.

“Shall we go to class together?”

Mr. Kong must’ve come here to catch me in case I skip class again.

It felt like I was on pins and needles, but his class was still very helpful.

After school.

At the newspaper club, I was interviewed again at the request of Moon Sae-ron, and the club activities ended.

Seeing her questions and interview, she wants to interview Hyo-don, too.

‘I wonder if Hyo-don, who hasn’t even properly spoken to the girls in class yet, can have a conversation with Moon Sae-ron.’

Sae-ron will probably do great anyway.

‘I should worry more about me.’

The Off-limits area.

The old teacher’s classroom I’ve come before.

I sat on the teacher’s desk, waiting for Jun-yeoul.

The door opened……

“Sorry to keep you waiting…… Mentor!”

He almost called me the Phantom of the Red Wall but stopped himself.

Since he didn’t call me that, I accepted him as my student.
