Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

A world that changed due to collision with an unknown world 100 years ago.

In a dazed world, mankind turned into “players” and it became the normal life to be fighting against different enemies.

Twenty percent of the people are born with a player's special skill.

Fifteen percent of the people are those who have a special skill above the age of 17.

All potential players need to maintain special skills until they turn 17, then they can become official players by getting an approval from the player's association.

When a player turns 17, they are allowed to use a light skill that gives them the ability to perform miracles for a certain period of time.

“The White Tiger is using light skill right now.”

For White Tiger, the light skill appears by summoning his weapon.

If his mental power is full, he can summon an EX rank weapon for a short period of time.

‘When I think about it, it was a character that broke the game balance.’

There was a reason why the White Tiger was way stronger than the other characters.

Even if I receive debuffs from God, the White Tiger is still one of Korea’s legendary myths.

Also, the White Tiger is part of the legend of the real tribe.

[Explanation]

The White Tiger that appeared in the legendary myth.

Received skill of ‘teleport anywhere’ from the gods, but he lost his name while playing around which angered the gods.

God wanted to punish the White Tiger’s pride so the gods locked up his skills and ordered him to write his sins.

Afterward…

I felt suffocated all of sudden while reading the explanation.

I forcefully tried to take a breath and made eye contact with the White Tiger.

The White Tiger was staring at me.

‘Does he know that I’m using the exclusive skill menu?’

I tried to calmly shift my attention.

However, the White Tiger’s vision was directed towards me and it almost feels like I’m being pierced by a thousand needles. 

He’s not even using the glare.

<Bear tribe’s interference ended. Recovering communication.>

After hearing the sound system, all the lights inside the gym were turned on.

The bright flash hurt my eyes so I pressed on them while trying to look around. I witnessed the atrocity clearly.

‘It’s a mess…..’

The testing center had traces of destruction everywhere.

The monster had already stopped moving after it collapsed.

Minki and the examiner were in critical condition.

Sanghoon was injured severely.

Namwook and I were not injured but were exhausted.

All of a sudden, the White Tiger moved its attention away from me and slowly looked around.

-Beep!

There was an alarm different from my menu system sound.

It was a sound that I heard many times in the game.

‘Player’s association exclusive satellite… It’s an enemy alarm sound for satellite ‘Player SAT-K’ in charge of Korea.

Normally, when an enemy reaches a certain distance, the smart device beeps an alarm from the satellite and guides evacuation.

Because the communication inside the gym was completely restricted, it beeped late.

‘Too late.’

Because of this world’s scientific technology, it was possible to tap all the warnings appearing on the smartphone with one’s fingers.

This world was similar to contemporary Korea, but this world and its technology were way more advanced due to the unknown world and special skills.

‘Everyone uses wearable devices.’

The White Tiger, Namwook, and Sanghoon loaded the hologram screen in front of their eyes through their wearable devices.

On the screen, a notification from Player SAT-K reporting the defeat of the enemy appeared consecutively.

-Wanted enemy, Rhinoceron Level 13 has been defeated.

-Player SAT-K successfully approached the region's record device.

-Player SAT-K is analyzing the detailed defeat process.

Boom.

The White Tiger’s hand reading the hologram notification removed the white tooth.

-Biggest contributor: Jo X X (Unregistered person: Limited information)

Player SAT-K began to collect the dead enemy’s body so the Rhinoceron turned into particles.

Namwook and Sanghoon, who were surprised by the White Tiger’s appearance, shouted Player SAT-K’s notification.

“Euishin! Congratulations!”

“Congrats. If you receive a bounty, treat us to a good meal.”

It became crowded outside the testing site.

Followed by the White Tiger, players from Eungwang High School arrived.

While the teachers from Eungwang high school were talking to us, the White Tiger had already disappeared.

Namwook and I, who had no injuries, were sent to the hospital for a checkup.

Sanghoon, who was injured, had to change into a patient’s clothes and receive a separate cure.

“I just want to use a recovery item.”

“We are not official players yet so ‘player insurance’ doesn’t apply. We will be bombarded with medical bills.”

“Ah… right. We should just get hurt again next year.”

“There will be side effects if we use too many potions. Calm down.”

“Namwook, you talk way too much!”

While I was getting diagnosed, Sanghoon and Namwook were making jokes and giggling around.

They seemed to get along well.

The hospital we were at was founded by a medical institution that owned Eungwang high school.

‘It feels like a temple instead of a hospital.’

Is it due to the foundation being rich or is the hospital making a lot of profit…?

There was an outstanding hospital facility view.

The medical staff looked healthy and the employee benefits seemed good.

‘They must be earning well.’

PMH. Inside the game, recovery items and skills revolutionized the medical field.

However, recovery items and skills were barely effective for people other than the players.

There weren’t a lot of players with recovery skills so recovery items were traded at high prices compared to their effect.

‘Based on the item price, Namwook was the luckiest…’

‘Flower extract recovery potion’ was picked by Namwook.

It was a low rareness item that healed minor wounds, but without player’s insurance, it would cost 3 million won to purchase.

‘Based on the setting, players that earn a high income can obtain items from the other world so it’s affordable, but players still need to use hospitals.’

That’s because the player's level decreases.

After a study was released about the repeated use of an item decreasing the player's ability in the long run, players began to use hospitals more often.

Because players are constantly doing raids or putting their lives in danger, it was normal for them to consult experts on using recovery items.

As a result, the medical field which was expected to decline because of recovery items and skills became highly successful due to players constantly getting injured.

“Next, Jung Namwook.”

After my examination, it was time for Namwook to draw his blood out.

Unlike me who answered vaguely towards the doctor's question, Namwook sincerely answered them.

“Do you also want to go home quickly? I do.”

Sanghoon spoke to me as I was responding vaguely.

“Right. I want to go home quickly.”

I said those words, but I didn’t really want to go home.

I don’t know the exact information on middle school student Euishin in this world.

If I talk a lot, he may ask for unknown information that cannot be viewed by people’s information located in the menu window.

“Euishin? Come here for a second.”

The person who just spoke was Jegal.

He is a teacher from Eungwang High School who was making calls here and there through his wearable device.

Jegal, who was panicked by the events in the exam center, fixed the situation like a veteran teacher and led us to the hospital.

‘Nobody is here.’

There was nobody in the hospital’s hallway.

There was only a small, quiet sound of footsteps stepping afar and a faint sound of birds singing.

“There was a call saying that the teacher who was registered as a guardian can’t visit due to a business trip, and there was no other teacher to substitute for them. Is there anyone else that you can call?”

I'm an 8th grader right now.

It was in fall when my parents and siblings were in an accident.

Right now, I know that it’s December of that year because that’s when I took the high school entrance exam.

In the past, I was roaming around motels with what’s left in my little inheritance.

Detailed information on the menu said the following: “No, nobody.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

There was a far relative from my mother’s side.

However, I don’t know if he is in this world and I didn’t want to call him.

“…..Okay. Call me when you need me.”

Asking such things made him feel sorry.

He seemed like a better person here than in the game.

Jegal handed me a business card with a sorry face.

‘Poet Jegal’

The business card given by Jegal had the player's name and contact information.

Jegal is one of the playable characters in the game.

Teachers working in Eungwang high school were all qualified players, and those who were related to the main story were mostly playable players.

Jegal retired in the beginning so he doesn’t appear in the story.

“Yes, thank you.”I accepted the business card with two hands.

The business card made out of paper seemed heavy like lead.

“Mr. Jegal!”

The hallway became crowded.

A man in a cashmere coat waved his hand and came forward.

“How did you manage to get here?”

Jegal bluntly frowned his face.

Wow, was there any character that can make Jegal frown like that?

“Hello. I’m Hong Gyubin from the Player's Association Korean branch and manager of the PR Team 1. Hello Mr. Jegal.”

What? Manager?

Why is a manager from the Player's Association here?

I saw his face in the game but I don’t remember it well.

Perhaps he is an extra with only one or two lines.

“I know. This place is restricted to outsiders.”

“How am I an outsider? I just came to see you Mr. Jegal.”

“Yes. Well then, I will see you next time. Goodbye.”

“Haha, the media is focusing on this incident. Shouldn’t I cooperate well with you, Mr. Jegal?”

“I will contact the institution.”

“That’s fine. I already know.”

Gyubin was laughing while Jegal was looking defensive.

They forgot about me and exchanged banter between themselves.

‘Can I go back to the examination room…….?’ I thought to myself.

While thinking like that, Gyubin saw me and he swiftly shifted his body to talk to me.

“Mr. Jegal, is he Euishin? Nice to meet you. I saw your records on Player SAT-K. You are terrific!”

Jegal didn’t reply and made a weird face.

Gyubin didn’t expect a response and continued to speak to me.

“Can you give me your bank account so I can send you the bounty? The tax will be deducted but it would still be over 200,000 USD. If you don’t have an account, contact me after making one by next week.”

The business card was in my hand before I could muster a reply.

The paper that overlapped Jegal’s business card was light.

“You had outstanding adaptability and bravery, but what I liked the most was your response to the sudden situation. Even if your choice is controversial, I will be on your side. Ah, speaking of which, your response towards the enemy was very fast. What skill do you have? If you agree to share a player’s detailed information, I can give mentoring support based on your path and provide programs to improve your skill level.”

Sharing detailed information?

His words were mixed like sugar-coated poison.

If I agree to share my information, it’s like revealing my weakness to the whole association.

I did want to get such support, but I don’t want to be trapped.

Jegal knew that so he was frowning.

‘How can I reject it without leaving a grudge with the player’s association and Gyubin?’

Even if I don’t do anything, Jegal would stop me, no?

My dilemma didn’t last very long.

“Hey move!”A loud voice came from afar and moved like a gust of wind.

The movement and sound made me and Jegal step back.

It was the movement of Eungwang high school headteacher.

The manager player from the association, Gyubin, moved lightly to avoid colliding with something.

Bam!

Somebody who dashed in the hallway opened the door aggressively.

Between the open door, Namwook was putting a patch on his body to prevent bleeding after the examination.

Sanghoon stopped after opening the door while on his way to the examination room

.

“Stop, Nobody can come in as the examination is in session!”

A high school girl wearing a school uniform approached Sanghoon and ignored the nurse's warning in front of the door.

Sanghoon was holding an IV stand and looked at the girl with doubt.

They stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.

Sanghoon spoke first.

“Why are you here?”

The girl held her fist and went onto Sanghoon.

“What are you doing?”

Namwook was surprised and tried to stop the girl.

However, before he could do anything, the girl started to cry and collapse in front of Sanghoon.

“Sanghoon, you crazy guy!”

Namwook was stopped by her actions.

Sanghoon tried to calm her down by tapping her shoulder, but she removed his hand and continued to cry.

“Okay. Okay. Stop crying.”

“Who’s crying! Gosh… getting hurt like a moron…. Sob…”

“Okay then, keep crying.”

“Shut up!”

“What do you want me to do?”

Sanghoon, who gave up on comforting the girl, shut his mouth.

He made a loud noise but it was because he didn’t know what to do rather than being angry.

Namwook asked while making a confused face.

“Who is she?”

“My mother’s daughter Sanghee.”

“What?”

“Well… My sister.”

That girl is Sanghoon’s sister, Sanghee.

Sanghoon avoided Namwook’s eye contact as if he didn’t want to explain further.

Namwook made an odd face as if he was thinking, ‘is this how siblings talk?’

There was a quiet silence while Sanghee was crying.

Gyubin, who made sweet comments, had to shut his mouth.

Thankfully, they didn’t need to find an excuse.

Soon, Namwook and Sanghoon’s parents arrived at the hospital.

The Guardian's appearance made it impossible to talk with Gyubin privately so the conversation ended naturally.

The next day.

The institution that owns Eungwang high school uploaded an apology to their school website.

The last line of apology said that the school will be responsible for all medical bills that are incurred by victim students as they are responsible for this incident and they will give full support.

‘The school is not legally liable for injury as they received a sign from students’

If the enemy really decided to invade, it would be almost impossible to block them.

However, Eungwang high school only let one interference slip out of 300 test sites.

That was only for 15 minutes.

Instead, it proved Eungwang high school’s security level.

Still, there was a lot of criticism against Eungwang high school.

Luckily, half of the media's attention was towards students who survived.

Students who do not have light skills use test items to get desired R+ items. The enemy was a hot issue not only in Korea but also overseas.

Also, the person who received the most attention was Minki.

[Small hero Minki. ‘Sorry that I couldn’t fight with my friends until the end….’]

Such bogus headline articles were all over the internet.

In one day, Minki became a star.

‘So he made the worst move.’

I thought while tagging the article.

Minki was making a step towards perishing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
