EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1082: Two people (7)
Cheon Dong-ha and Andain, who had left the conference room earlier, lowered their voices and talked.
These two were not only seniors and juniors, but also people who had the Hojok as their family.
The two were still young, but they had earned the Hojok’s trust, so they had heard almost everything that had happened yesterday.
There was a lot of confusing content, such as the injuries of Hwangho and Jeokho, and Cheongho’s awakening, but these two decided to put aside all their feelings and focus on what they could do first.
“The Hojok was considerate enough to let us focus on the exchange. So we have to do what we can.”
“I will do my best to win with Ui-shin.”
The Korean national team was confident that they wouldn’t lose if they went head-to-head, but the variable was Jo Ui-shin’s condition.
Of course, no one blamed Jo Ui-shin or thought he would be the cause of the defeat because he was the variable.
Cheon Dong-ha spoke in a cold, almost cold tone at first.
“It’s true that Yishin is not in good shape, but it’s not like there’s no risk for other teams. I heard that the main players of Japan and China were also exhausted last night.”
During the briefing, Cheon Dong-ha relayed information that was difficult to talk about to Andain.
Eun-ho told her everything that happened overnight that had to do with the Japanese and Chinese teams, and helped her utilize it in the third match today.
The content Eun-ho spoke about included the fight between Renzouin Karen, Hirano Seiji, and Arihara Tomoaki, who are considered the main players of the Japanese team.
These three fought against a private gambling company and then Kozuka Yashiro and the manipulator.
On top of that, they had to observe the torture, so they didn’t have much time to recover, and they were exhausted from the press conference in the morning.
“But the team will move around those three, right?”
“Of course. Until now, it was either Kozuka Yashiro who took charge or Hirano Seiji who took over. This time, Renzouin Karen will step up and lead the team.”
The Japanese national team was not in the best of shape because Kozuka Yashiro, the general manager of the Japanese national team, went missing due to an unpleasant incident.
Cheon Dong-ha guessed that the results would depend on how much Renzouin Karen would demonstrate leadership.
The Chinese national team was in a better situation than the Japanese national team, but it was still not perfect.
“Li Wei said he received treatment in the morning, so he must have used up a lot of the talent. Lu Boyuan and Yao Leqi were also involved in yesterday’s incident, and the coach, the Earth-Wave Knight, is absent due to the internal conflict of the three knights’ oath.”
“Is Coach Dong Xiaodan, the general manager of the Chinese national team, also involved in this incident?”
“He is not directly involved. But as the general manager, the coaching staff should take responsibility for the accidents that happened in Korea.”
Cheon Dong-ha and Andain were silent at the same time.
From afar, the Korean national team looked the best.
However, rather than feeling relieved, they felt a headache.
It was because it was obvious that Jo Ui-shin had tried to avoid affecting the next exchange match with the Korean national team.
The silence between the two did not last long.
“Guys, what are you talking about? Let me join in. I know a lot too.”
“Teacher Yong! Okay, just walk quickly. Get away from here!”
“Walk? Can I really walk?”
“Oh, just stay still!”
“Haha, you keep changing your subject.”
Yong Je-geon was being dragged away.
Moon Sae-ron was in front, holding onto the collar of his shirt, and dragging him. Yeom Jun-yeol and Kim Shin-rok were on either side, each holding Yong Je-geon’s arm.
Yong Je-geon enjoyed the feeling of being dragged, so he used flying techniques and floated his body in the air, and he also talked to students who were trying to get away from him in fear.
Cheon Dong-ha and Andain stared at Yong Je-geon, who was moving away without responding, and then said.
“... ... Our national team’s general manager is Mr. Yong Je-geon. There’s something wrong with our coaching staff.”
“... ... That’s right.”
The Korean national team went into the third match with two risks: general manager Yong Je-geon and Jo Eui-shin, who had exhausted Lee Neung-pa.
Joo Soo-hyuk waited quietly until the surroundings became quiet.
Yong Je-geon’s grumbling and Moon Sae-ron’s screams could be heard from afar, but soon the sound disappeared, perhaps because Kim Shin-rok and Yeom Jun-yeol did their best to drag him away.
When the noise disappeared, he was able to focus entirely on Joo Soo-hyuk in front of him.
Joo Soo-hyuk had returned to his characteristically intelligent, clear-headed, and fair-minded eyes, as if his soul had been stolen.
Not only that, he had a serious expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind.
‘Please, I hope Joo Soo-hyuk doesn’t have any strange thoughts.’
If Joo Soo-hyuk had any strange thoughts and said that he was blessing me and Andain or cheering me on, I was confident that I would faint while standing.
I will try not to faint, but the direction of my efforts and the results do not always match.
If I faint while standing, I don’t know if I will dream or not, but if that happens, I hope the white tiger will solve the nightmare problem.
Finally, Joo Soo-hyuk opened his mouth.
“Eui-shin, are you okay? You don’t look well when I look at you closely.”
The first thing Joo Soo-hyuk said was that he was worried about me.
The moment I heard those words, I felt overwhelmed and sorry at the same time.
Joo Soo-hyuk wasn’t just saying it, he was really worried about me, but I was having useless imaginations like, “I’m fainting!”
Before I could answer, Joo Soo-hyuk lowered the corners of his eyes a little and spoke awkwardly.
“Actually, I couldn’t concentrate until Dong-ha hyung started the briefing. It’s not that I’m in bad shape, and I’m not taking the third match lightly... ... It’s just purely personal reasons.”
Joo Soo-hyuk avoided mentioning the specifics of his ‘personal reasons,’ but everyone sitting in the conference room, as well as everyone at Eun Kwang-go who heard the news today, would know.
It seemed like Joo Soo-hyuk was the only one who didn’t know that everyone else ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) knew.
Contrary to his naive mindset, Joo Soo-hyuk’s next words were full of insight.
“So, during the meeting, I noticed Yi-shin’s supernatural powers and the surrounding circumstances. Yi-shin, did you use a powerful supernatural power yesterday? “Isn’t it related to the Japanese national team holding a press conference, the disappearance of a coach from the Chinese national team, and the fact that the Huangming Foundation has been busy since dawn?”
There was no need to ask how he knew that.

As a son of a wealthy family and a peerless player, Joo Soo-hyuk has personal information, and as he has been involved in several major incidents, he has been paying attention to the trends of the player community.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Most of what happened yesterday happened secretly, but if several of Huang Ho’s clones were attacked at the same time and the clan responded, it was natural that the Huangming Foundation was busy moving.
When I couldn’t immediately confirm or deny it, Joo Soo-hyuk looked straight at me and nodded with a smile.
There was bitterness in his smile.
“Yisin is someone the Huangming Foundation accepted as family, but I know very well that I am an outsider. If it would be embarrassing for me to know, you don’t have to answer.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s not something to apologize for, and I didn’t even care about Yishin’s health, but instead, I just thought useless thoughts. I’m not in a position to hear such things from Yishin.”
Ju Soo-hyuk blamed himself after receiving my apology.
Wouldn’t this problem be solved if Ju Soo-hyuk quickly married Andain and became a family with the nobles?
I almost blurted out my true feelings, but I barely swallowed them.
At that moment, Ju Soo-hyuk took a big step toward me.
Because the distance was closer, Ju Soo-hyuk’s voice was clearer.
“Yishin, I’m not good at giving up. I can’t give up proving my skills through this exchange, earning Yishin’s trust, and fighting together, and, well, anything else.”
The ‘things I can’t give up’ that Ju Soo-hyuk couldn’t bring himself to say must include Andain.
I should have been begging him not to give up forever, but I was so happy when Ju Soo-hyuk said that to me.
Joo Soo-hyuk said with eyes full of determination.
“Eui-shin, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Anything, please.”
“You know what I’m going to ask you.”
Joo Soo-hyuk answered in a cheerful voice.
Joo Soo-hyuk seemed to think I was joking, but I was serious.
If Joo Soo-hyuk won’t give up on Andain, what can I do?
“Looking at Eui-shin’s current physical condition, there will come a time when Eui-shin will have to be replaced before Da-in.”
I agreed with Joo Soo-hyuk.
The other players probably thought the same.
They didn’t say it out loud in front of me, but they probably assumed that they would fight Andain after me depending on the composition of the opposing players.
Joo Soo-hyuk looked at my hand once, then stared into my eyes again and said.
“Eui-shin, no matter what the composition of the opposing team is, choose me as your opponent for high touch. Yisin will fight next and prove my strength, and... ... to Dain... ... .”
Ju Soo-hyuk trailed off, which was unusual for him, but his intention was clear.
As he had declared before, Ju Soo-hyuk was trying to prove his strength through exchange combat.
Not only that, he wanted a chance to fight with Andain.
I could really feel that Ju Soo-hyuk had not given up.
I clearly conveyed my intention to Ju Soo-hyuk.
“Okay. I will definitely point to you.”
“Thank you, Yisin!”
Ju Soo-hyuk answered with the brightest expression he had seen today.
Things got complicated because an impurity like me got in between the two, but if even one of them doesn’t give up, there will be no problem.
Eun-gwang Stadium.
The stadium was packed before the decisive battle.
It was still morning, but there was a simple celebratory performance before the opening of the third game, so the dome was closed and the stadium was dark with various colored lights.
After the celebratory performance, the interior, which had been dark for a while, began to light up.
As soon as the dome roof opened, a neatly dressed host appeared at the center of the stage.
[Hello, I am Choi Ji-na, the double-sided mirror who is hosting the Korea-China-Japan Exchange Game.]
Wow!
The audience cheered loudly at the appearance of Choi Ji-na, the best player commentator and famous broadcaster in Korea.
It was a welcome to Choi Ji-na, but also a cheer filled with anticipation at the thought that the third game was finally starting.
[The third match was the ‘2-on-2 Tag Match’ chosen by the Korean national team. Each national team will choose two players and compete head-to-head.]
A huge hologram appeared on the data screen, along with a video and subtitles.
Andain and I were lightly warming up while watching the explanation.
When I looked at the corner of the Japanese national team, everyone was warming up at the same time, so I couldn’t tell who would come out first.
It seemed like they had no intention of revealing who the first batter would be until the very end.
[The first player from the Korean national team is entering!]
Waaaaaaaaaah!
Andain and I entered at the same time amidst cheers.
Andain and I bowed our heads to the cheering audience and entered the stadium.
Andain spoke to us as we stood side by side on the stadium.
“Euishin, I’m glad we can fight together.”
“Me too.”
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Aaaaaaaaaaah!
As I spoke, the cheers and screams suddenly grew louder.
When I turned to the scoreboard, I saw that my conversation with Andain was being broadcast through the microphone installed in the stadium.
I heard Joo Soo-hyuk declare that he would not give up, but I broke out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, the opposing team's players entered.
As the two appeared, the voices shouting 'Renren' from all over the stadium died down.
The first players to play for the Japanese national team were Arihara Tomoaki and Hirano Seiji.
