EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 696: Gift (15)
Support Ex-Rank
After the Eungwang High charity event, the students from Class Zero gathered for an afterparty.
Kim Yuri welcomed all fourteen of her classmates.
“Hey guys!”
Considering the big and small accidents that happened recently at Eungwang High, it was a given that everyone was excited.
Eungwang High has been freed from the attack of enemies and royal lineages, but the eccentricity of Class Zero seniors remained rampant.
The sophomore Class Zero acting president Yeon Garam caused an accident.
Yeon Garam was blinded by Jegal in an ibis doll costume and adjusted some schedules for their own benefit.
As a result, complaints flooded and people were divided into the Chansol Duo faction and the Yeon Garam faction.
‘If Cheon Dongha didn’t go to school late and help, the entire sophomore area would’ve become a battlefield.’
Cheon Dongha used his light skill excessively yesterday and he was exhausted by the new paternity test case in their family.
Nevertheless, he worked hard to accurately determine the location and number of people between the two factions, and Yeom Junyeol helped fix the situation.
Yeom Junyeol rode Hongryong and made a fire prison according to Cheon Dongha’s instructions.
The video was uploaded and recorded over a million views.
The fiasco ended peacefully with Jegal eventually deciding to wear the costume one more time, and GeumChanWangChan, who reached the agreement with Jegal, regained the trust of their classmates and became the president and vice president again.
‘I think it was Jegal’s own decision though.’
Other incidents also occurred.
Seniors of Class 3-0 also caused some trouble with the addition of Im Yeonhwa.
Im Yeonhwa traced the energy of the universe and said that she suspected the peak and Cheondansu in Mt. Cheonik.
Even so, it was very difficult for Im Yeonhwa to search around the peak.
Baekunbong Peak had a spring where the treasure of the Tiger Clan appeared.
The teens of Class 3-0 might be easy, but the experienced homeroom teacher might be able to interrupt Hwang Jiho’s boundary.
In order to stop Im Yeonhwa, Hwang Jiho dispatched Kim Shinrok on the spot.
‘It wasn’t just Kim Shinrok.’
When Kim Shinrok was dispatched, Yong Jegun followed him, thinking that the case might be of interest.
Kim Shinrok, Jiikhoe, and Yong Jegun joined forces, and Im Yeonhwa reportedly backed down for now.
The Tiger Clan employed stricter surveillance of Mt. Cheonik until the strong homeroom teacher departed from Class 3-0.
“It’s a relief that Yong-ssaem is safe too.”
“Uh… are your eyes okay?”
Yong Jegun attended the afterparty as the class’ assistant homeroom teacher.
A blindfold decorated with jade thread tightly covered his eyes and prevented his divinity from flowing out.
Maeng Hyodon thought it was a different training method, but most of the class knew what it meant.
Perhaps they were already quite attached to Yong Jegun, the kids looked disappointed.
“I can see better than before. Today’s event was fun.”
Hwang Jiho looked uncomfortable when he saw Yong Jegun smile.
After finding the treasure in Kim Yuri’s locker, Hwang Jiho’s mood goes sour again, and the sight of Yong Jegun seems to make him feel worse.
Still, he hid his feelings for a pleasant party.
‘Jukho said he’s holding the tiger couple.’
The treasure was tightly sealed, but Hwang Jiho saw right through it.
Before he said anything, he asked who left the gift to Kim Yuri.
Kim Yuri said that it was given by a couple wearing a mask in the bamboo forest, and Hwang Jiho immediately mobilized Jukho.
I thought he would move his alter ego, but Hwang Jiho said this;
— I don’t know how long they’ve been keeping the treasure, but that couple has been quiet about it all this time. I don’t think they’re going to speak if I push them.
Hwang Jiho seemed to be in a complicated mood, but he didn’t look so urgent.
Last time, he said that treasures don’t matter, but I guess not.
— I happened to be there so I knew it right away, but even if you had taken hold of the treasure on your own, you would’ve told me still. The couple must know this.
— What are you going to do?
— I’m going to ask them why while you’re present. Of course, you can leave if you don’t want to.
— I’ll go with you.
I was also curious about when and how the masked couple got the treasure and why they wanted to give it to me.
When I promised to go with Hwang Jiho, he began to plan my stay as if he had been waiting.
We’re going to stop by the mansion to deliver gifts to the descendants anyway, so I decided to comply without much resistance.
‘Anyway, unlike the other Class Zero seniors, I’m glad our class was behaved. Things would’ve been more complicated if they weren’t.’
Even though there was a battle between Jin Jungmok and the attention seekers, it all ended safely.
We’ll be Class 2-0 soon, but we won’t be like our seniors.
However, it bothered me that more and more unusual kids keep getting added to our class.
“I didn’t do anything at this event, is it alright that I attend?”
“What do you mean? Did you forget that you had a match with us?”
“Yeah! So many people came to see us!”
Jin Jungmok and the attention-seekers seem to have gotten along well.
Rather than playing though, the two seemed to be trying to dig something out of him.
“What’s not okay right now is that you’re not answering our questions.”
“Yeah, this will be easier if you talk.”
“I can’t tell you. Find it out yourself.”
“You know it!”
I don’t know what they’re talking about, but I didn’t bother trying to pry.
I ignored those three and set the table.
While laying down cutlery, Hwang Jiho blurted out something.
“Jo Euishin, you take out the cake.”
The box is right next to him though.
It was inefficient, but I decided not to bite back for nothing because Hwang Jiho was working hard.
I pulled the cake out of the MITRON box and wondered.
‘Were there decorations like this on the cake they ordered?’
The cake was decorated with molding chocolate in the form of black snowflakes.
The white cream was also topped with sugar crafted as trees, but the snowflakes stood out.
I helped pick out the cake, and as far as I remember, there were no snowflakes in our order.
While I was puzzled, Hwang Jiho spoke.
“They’re doing a special event at MITRNO. They’re offering additional options for black snowflake decorations for customers who reserved a Christmas cake.”
Ryu Jang did that?
He played a role in preventing Kwon Jein from acting unexpectedly, but he must’ve seen the snowflakes too.
I thought it was over, but the sight of it made me embarrassed.
“Alright, time for exchanging gifts! We’ve prepared for additional students, so we can all do it together!”
After hearing from Kim Yuri, Goo Seulbi and Ong Gildong proudly picked a lottery number as if they had prepared a gift in advance.
There were gift boxes wrapped in aurora-colored paper among the pile of gifts, and those seemed to be prepared by them.
Jin Jungmok tried to refuse, but Kim Yuri insisted.
“I will definitely prepare a gift next time.”
I guess he’s planning to stay until next Christmas.
All the students finished drawing lots and picked out one by one.
The contents of the boxes were mostly similar.
“Gloves again.”
“I guess I wasn’t the only one who bought gloves.”
“It’s not good to have cold hands in winter. We could use energy waves, but then it takes a lot of concentration and strength…”
I think the kids glanced at me.
I didn’t get gloves as a gift though.
I bought a cap to prevent our earring-type devices from freezing.
Should I have gotten gloves instead?
It happened to be my turn, so I opened my gift.
“Ah, Euishin-ah. I bought those gloves!”
“Thanks, I’ll use it well.”
The present that I picked was from Saeum of April.
I thanked him and he began to explain this and that and recommended that I put it on.
When I did, it fit right into my hand as if he bought it for me.
“It’s a relief that Euishin picked the gloves.”
“Yeah!”
Did the kids want to give me gloves?
Meanwhile, the cap that I bought was in the hands of Yong Jegun.
“The kids must be envious of me. I’ll use it well, Euishin-ah.”
Yong Jegun bragged about it to the kids like the mischievous dragon that he is.
The sun had already set by the time the party was over, but the class was still lively.
“I heard there’s an all-night Christmas party at the Jiikhoe Hall. Who wants to go?”
“Me!”
“I’ll go too.”
“Me too.”
All the dorm students said they’d attend Jiikhoe’s party, their stamina still high even after the long day.
I would go if I didn’t have an appointment, but I unfortunately couldn’t be there.
“Let’s go, Jo Euishin.”
To keep my promise, I headed to the mansion with Hwang Jiho.
Hwangmyeong Mansion is very close to Eungwang High, but we rode an air limousine that Hwang Jiho put on standby in advance.
Willing.
The moment the car door closed, the fatigue that Hwang Jiho hid from his face began to show.
Hwang Jiho’s alter egos are on a number of important missions.
The biggest was the surveillance of the captured royal lineage, Pungbaek, and Usa, Jogangryeob, and Uma.
‘Pungbaek and Usa still haven’t opened their eyes.’
In addition, he had to prepare for a meeting of the 12-point alliance to set the punishment of the traitors.
On top of that, I heard he’s bringing in guests from abroad.
After having a party with the descendants, he still has to talk to the masked tiger couple about the treasure.
Rather than “talk,” perhaps it would be an interrogation.
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
I didn’t say anything though.
“Just play well with our descendants.”
“…Okay.”
After a short conversation, the limousine arrived at the mansion.
