Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Chapter 4: A Nameless Supporting Role’s Tutorial (3)

The core that consists and supports a living organism is called the ‘type.’

While the type of an enemy is called ‘species’.

Rhinoceron is a ‘pet type’ that is completely domesticated and is full of evil therefore it’s an ‘evil type.’

That ‘evil type’ enemy.

Rhinoceron’s overall ability level is 38.

The average level of us four people is 10.

With the Rhinoceron’s few skills, we would be ground to a mixer, the gym itself included.

There is no time to waste.

“Namwook, throw it!”

“Here we go!”

As I gave a signal, Namwook sent the ‘Flower extract recovery potion’ towards the block.

Clink!

After hearing the glass bottle break, a subtle grass smell filled the room.

The indoor air became fresh all of a sudden, replacing the monster’s disgusting smell.

Grrr….. Grrrrr!

The Rhinoceron stopped using its skill and slowly approached the broken bottle.

Then, he slammed his head into it and its contents shattered all over the place because of the broken glass.

Thump, thump, thump!

There were sparks produced as the monster bumped its head above the block that has the broken glass.

The monster repeated its actions paying no mind to the sparks.

Namwook let out a sigh.

“I did it……!”

It was the time when the PMH service commenced.

Users who obtained the ‘Flower extract recovery option’ inside the ‘random item box for students’ were doubtful of the bugs and uploaded comments on the forum.

The content was as follows.

The player suffered some damage, but the character didn’t die so he used the item that was for recovering health points.

However, right after the recovery, the aggressive Rihonceron killed the character and his corpse was damaged badly.

Of course, it was considered as one of the countless bugs and people didn’t mind it.

At that time, I was a senior in high school who just finished my college entrance exams, and I was into PMH so I tested it out by making a new account.

Then, the same thing happened.

I thought it was due to the item so I tried to dispose of it.

Soon, the Rhinoceron ran to the abandoned item.

After some time, it switched its aim to the character but the effect of the potion was certain

.

‘I didn’t know the cause at the time but I understood after reading the guidebook.’

The Rhinoceron was a compound result of a monster Rhinoceros and a Lion.

A herbivore’s head in a carnivore’s body.

It may be completely brainwashed now, but if its instincts were reinforced, it would react to concentrated grass smell.

Because the flower extract recovery potion is very volatile, the Rhinoceron will return to its normal state shortly, but the character can earn time if they find the right timing.

If there was more freedom in the game and it was possible to control NPC, more time could be earned.

I thought of it like that, but a smartphone game famous for being a failed game cannot try such things on a tutorial event where it is not worth clearing it.

.

‘It’s possible now. I’m a game character now and I can communicate with Namwook, Minki, and Sanghoon.’

I gave instructions to these three people. 

First, move to the designated location and wait until the Rhinoceron becomes aggressive.

Second, once the Rhinoceron becomes aggressive, throw ‘flower extract’ starting from Namwook, Sanghoon, Minki, and then myself towards a designated block point.

Third, once the effect of the flower extract is exhausted, trap the Rhinoceron’s foot with Minki’s ‘spider web trap (5 seconds)’.

Fourth, I will attack the trapped Rhinoceron….

“Ah….arghhh!”

While I was recalling my role, Minki screamed.

Next to him, there was a spilled bottle.

He didn’t get contaminated, but if he doesn’t stand up and run away right now, he will be destroyed along with the floor.

“Minki!”

I ran to Minki who couldn’t run because he lost the energy in his legs, but the Rhinoceron was already in front of Minki.

The Rhinoceron’s horn was about to attack Minki.

Grrr, boom!

“Arghhh……!”

There was blood all over the smashed floor.

Sanghoon grabbed Minki and ran sideways as his back was cut by the Rhinoceron’s horn.

Sanghoon’s back had a solid and thick red line on it.

“Sanghoon!”

“This bastard monster, it really hurts……”

“I’m sorry……”

“Don’t worry, let’s run.”

Sanghoon spoke calmly but it seemed like it was hard for him to stand.

Minki still looked nervous but he wasn’t hurt.

“I was surprised. Ah, thank goodness…..”

Namwook, who appeared out of nowhere, gave a relieved look right next to us.

There was a casualty, but the number of times the Rhinoceron contacted the block decreased compared to what I expected.

Still, it went as planned.

‘Perhaps……’

There was something that bothered them.

The worst scenario and the worst result came to mind.

However, I bit my tongue as I saw Sanghoon’s back that was constantly bleeding.

There was a confrontation for a few minutes.

I went back to my place again and successfully attracted the Rhinoceron’s attention before it used its skill.

The Rhinoceron bumped his nose against the block.

Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump!

The contact between the Rhinoceron’s horn and the block produced a spark.

“…… The block is fine. It is R+ rareness and the enemy can’t destroy the block.”Sanghoon, who was turning pale due to excessive blood loss, commented.

In my eyes, he was just bluffing to relieve the other guys.

He is an incredibly kind guy.

“The block won’t break. Stay away.”

I had the same thought as Sanghoon, but it’s impossible for the block to be attacked by the enemy for the whole 15 minutes.

“Minki, it’s your turn. Get ready!” Namwook shouted. 

Following my order, Namwook moved most accurately.

Now he knew exactly when the Rhinoceron would activate the skill.

“……”

Minki quietly took out the ‘spider web trap.’

Minki had three item cards.

The ‘spider web trap’ item could last for 5 seconds.

So, it was possible to stop the Rhinoceron from moving for 15 seconds.

With such a condition, there was the possibility of victory.

If it is possible to delay the time before the Rhinoceron activates the skill….

“Minki?”

Minki aimed the item card at Sanghoon.

“What are you doing? There’s no time to joke around.”

“Minki?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Namwook looked confused. Sanghoon looked at Minki while stumbling as he couldn’t understand Minki.

Minki didn’t care about such things.

He was worried and shaking, but he still poised the item with his hand.

“I want something safe.”

“What?”

“I just need to endure for 4 more minutes before the block deactivates.”

There is the villain who didn’t get attention as he was cruelly killed in the tutorial.

Namwook shouted at Mink as he didn’t understand.

“Are you nuts?! R+ monsters can destroy everything, whether it’s in 50 minutes or 1 to 2 minutes. It’s not a short amount of time!”

Namwook didn’t seem to understand Minki’s intention yet.

The sparks decreased around the block.

Soon, the Rhinoceron will use its skill.

“It’s different when there is a moving bait.”Minki lifted the half-full bottle.

He dropped it, pretending as if he spilled all the contents.

Minki started to laugh as he saw two people looking shocked.

“Wouldn’t that monster be happy if three people die? You're all baits.”

Minki planned to use us as a shield and turn us into bait by tying us up with his item and applying the flower extract on us.

I knew he would cause trouble as he had left the contents inside the bottle.

Still, I thought he would hesitate after looking at Sanghoon who got injured while protecting him but I was wrong.

“Hmm……!”

Sanghoon tried to move so he could run away from Minki.

However, his scar became bigger so he collapsed while trying to stand, and let out a moan.

Minki’s betrayal caused mental damage too.

 “Sanghoon!”

Namwook tried to go for Sanghoon but Minki was waving the flower extract recovery potion like a threat.

“You can come if you want to die first.”

“Are you planning to use Sanghoon as bait? Sanghoon got injured trying to rescue you. You don’t even know how to thank someone.”

“Thankful? Screw that. Did you even have a life in middle school? You came all the way here by surpassing others. Also, this involves lives, not ranks!”

“What are you talking about? How can you compare fair competition and betrayal?!” 

Minki shouted with aggressive eyes.

Namwook didn’t have anything to rebuke so Minki closed his mouth after holding the item card and the bottle.

As Minki showed his intent, he stopped shaking and mumbling. It was disgusting.

“Minki, stop now. It’s not too late.”I spoke for the first time after observing the scene.

“You talk nonsense. Who are you to tell me what to do?”

As predicted, nothing worked.

Minki’s laughter came back.

On one hand, he held the bottle and on the other, he was holding an item card.

It felt like deja vu.

There were many similar cases in PMH.

A character that cares for others genuinely while being picky like Namwook.

A character that doesn’t show what he thinks but will sacrifice himself under certain circumstances like Sanghoon.

Anyway, they aren’t bad guys. Characters that did good deeds ended up in various scenarios.

‘I died many times in the game because of traitors like you.’

My playable characters which included the hundreds of NPC faces that appeared friendly all died and faded away.

The confrontation didn’t last for long.

The effect of the item that was intended to delay the enemy wore out, and the Rhinoceron cried out loud.

Grrrrrr!

<Warning, enemy ‘Rhinoceron’ is trying to use the skill ‘heavy dash’.>

Minki, who was trying to poise the item card, got injured and used the item against Sanghoon.

Slash!

The spider web trap from the item card tied Sanghoon on the spot.

“Minki!”

Minki ignored Namwook’s shout and poured the bottle’s contents over Sanghoon.

Splash!

It was little but the flower extract recovery potion still had an effect.

“Damn it……!”Sanghoon, who recovered a little, tried to escape but there was a trap.

The monster canceled the skill and moved his head towards Sanghoon.

Minki ran away and left Sanghoon who was immobile.

After 5 seconds, Sanghoon was able to move but the Rhinoceron was accurately aiming for him.

“Sanghoon, run!”Namwook knew it was meaningless but he shouted to Sanghoon.

‘I was waiting for this moment.’

I used the item that was hidden in my hand and stabbed Minki.

Stab, collapse!

“Arghh!”Minki shouted with a thud.

He reflexively moved his right arm but spilled the potion’s contents, making Minki’s right arm wet.

The item I threw was the ‘flower extract recovery potion.’

Everyone accepted my plan and it happened after Namwook dispensed the item cards.

When we all got one item card and moved them to the designated place, there was a system alarm.

<Skill ‘Destiny’ has been activated.>

Destiny?

I thought about the skill.

[Skill name] Destiny

[Rareness] EX (Not measurable)

[Skill level] 3

[Effect] Makes surreal interferences.

[Explanation]

Experience, expectation, belief, goal, ideology, leads the skill user’s destiny.

Based on the skill user’s life and future, destiny can decrease or increase.

It occurs randomly.

To summarize, users can lead destiny by randomly causing surreal interference.

‘What is it? What’s happening?’I couldn’t find any difference. 

The Rhinoceron still didn’t recognize us and the other three were nervous, but there wasn’t a problem.

However….

When I looked at Minki, I sensed electricity in my hand.

I saw one more card below the item card when I looked at my hand by reflex.

Due to the broken bottle, Minki’s hand was injured but the healing potion recovered the wound.

However, Minki looked grim as he knew what he had applied.

I added one more comment.

“Run if you don’t want to die, Bait.”

The Rhinoceron ran towards Minki who had a stronger grass smell than Sanghoon.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
