EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1030: Missing (12)
Early morning.
Kim Shin-rok had a peaceful morning for the first time in a while thanks to going to work at Hwang Myeong-ho’s mansion.
Since the exchange match started, Yong Je-geon had been pulling childish and bizarre pranks every day, making it hard to keep a smile on his face in front of the students every morning.
Hiding clothes other than his team uniform, going to the student section instead of the faculty section in the dormitory cafeteria to eat, suddenly starting a bet with the students and making Kim Shin-rok spar with them, etc.
He had so much fun that it made you wonder how he had endured Yong Je-geon’s want to cause such a ruckus and had him go to school all this time.
Furthermore, after the first exchange match, he showed great interest in the deleted footage.
―Shin-rok, I saw how you edited the footage. Eun-ho knew a thing or two about this kind of work since he was the former headmaster.
―... ... Don’t call Eun-ho’s name carelessly outside.
― So Eun-ho edited it?
Yong Je-geon deliberately squinted his eyes as he spoke, causing Kim Shin-rok to almost lose his grip on the squeegee without realizing it.
Everyone had already run away after seeing Yong Je-geon’s smiling face, so there was no one around.
At some point, Yong Je-geon had even created a barrier using space magic.
―If Eun-ho touched it himself, something incredible must have been recorded. I’m curious about what it was, but for now, show me all the footage of Jun-yeol.
―How can I show you the footage I haven’t seen yet?
―I’ll call you soon. Jeok-ho wanted to see you so much that he asked Jun-yeol that, so he’ll call you right away.
Kim Shin-rok blushed at Yong Je-geon’s words.
The scene in the relic-type other-world simulator where Jeok-ho visits the Korean national team and asks about how to have descendants was released with some editing.
The audience was more interested in Yeom Jun-yeol’s response than in the impatient, foolish child of the Hojok who went wild.
Yeom Jun-yeol maintained a calm attitude despite the attack of the Red Tiger and showed his respect and affection for the Yongjok, so some of the Yongjok nodded their heads several times with tearful faces.
However, the people involved or the person concerned could not forget about the Red Tiger.
Yong Je-geon, who had teased Kim Shin-rok to his heart’s content with the Red Tiger incident, added as if talking to himself.
―The Blue Dragon and the Yellow Dragon also showed interest in the ‘best Hojok musician.’ Of course, I did too.
Kim Shin-rok didn’t know anything about that musician.
Even if there was a best Hojok musician, there was no way he would have told Kim Shin-rok, who had the blood of the Ung tribe mixed in.
However, Kim Shin-rok had no one to play with when he was young, so he went around here and there on his own, so he knew a little about the Hojok situation at the time.
However, when it came to the best musician in the clan, no one came to mind.
The only person who could accompany the newcomer within the clan was a female shaman, and Kim Shin-rok had never met that female shaman before.
‘That dragon or the other dragon clan members felt something. I may just not know, but if there was such a musician, it would be someone who was famous before I was born and then forgotten.’
Kim Shin-rok simply thought of someone who was famous at one point and then forgotten, and he never thought of someone whose existence was completely forgotten.
And then Jeok-ho called Kim Shin-rok to Hwang Myeong-ho’s mansion.
Yong Je-geon wanted to follow him to Hwang Myeong-ho’s mansion, perhaps because he thought there would be something important to talk about, but fortunately, he couldn’t.
Currently, Yong Je-geon is the general manager of the Korean national team, which is not suitable for him, so he couldn’t leave his students, who were about to have the second match, behind and follow Kim Shin-rok.
When Kim Shin-rok came to Hwang Myeong-ho’s mansion alone and heard the whole story about Heuk-ho’s disappearance, he was shocked.
The shocking story didn’t stop there.
―Son, the crazy tiger that taught you did something crazy, so don’t be shocked and listen.
Kim Shin-rok also heard about the circumstances surrounding the loss of his greatly respected teacher, Baek-ho’s true name.
True name, nightmare, Jo-ui-shin... ... As the story went on, Kim Shin-rok felt dizzy.
As someone who tortured people using nightmare dust, he knew well the terrible power of nightmare.
Thinking of Jo-ui-shin, who had been dealing with him since he was young, and Baek-ho, who had been protecting him and fighting with him, his eyes went dark.
―Look at that, wasn’t my son shocked by Baek-ho’s shamelessness? But instead of reflecting, that crazy tiger just laughed.
Kim Shin-rok was shocked by Baek-ho’s actions, but Jeok-ho seemed to think differently.
Jeok-ho was so angry that he shouted at times, but he couldn’t understand what he was saying.
Kim Shin-rok thought that Jeok-ho would never utter such a vicious curse, so he couldn’t interpret it because he thought that his words had another meaning.
When it was revealed that Jo-ui-shin was fighting a nightmare, and Baek-ho had given Jo-ui-shin a protection with his true name and stared at him with his eyes for a long time, Kim Shin-rok felt like he realized the true nature of the discomfort he had felt in the past.
‘Jeok-ho and I both felt closeness and trust toward Jo-ui-shin right away. We didn’t really realize it, but it must have been because Baek-ho’s energy still remained.’
Of course, he would trust Jo-ui-shin now, whether or not Baek-ho’s energy was there.
Jeok-ho looked toward the room where Jo-ui-shin was sleeping.
It was a room for the benefactor, so it was thoroughly prepared with countermeasures against the evil forces, and it felt like a guardian deity was guarding the front.
However, there was no sign of Jo Eui-shin waking up.
I heard that Jo Eui-shin fell asleep as soon as the first match ended, but he still hadn’t woken up even after quite some time had passed.
‘Normally, even if you delay sleep and sleep all at once, you don’t sleep that long. It’s strange. Is it the influence of nightmares?’
Jo Eui-shin said that he played chess with nightmares while he was sleeping.
Judging from the fact that Jo Eui-shin played against Baekho and talked in his dream, he probably didn’t spend all his time playing against Baekho while he was sleeping.
However, since Jo Eui-shin had appeared in his dream after a long time, it didn’t seem like Nightmare would let him go.
―Jeokho, would you please report on the oath of the three knights?
―I understand.
The nobles who had been criticizing Baekho to their heart’s content barely changed the subject.
Kim Shin-rok thought that a story that would finally make his head spin had come up, but it wasn’t.
―The Knight of the Earth’s Rumble intends to stake Cheong-ho’s body on the deal with Hwang-ho. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it seems like he’s not going to give up his body easily and is just going to play around with it.
Following the missing Black Tiger and White Tiger’s true names, this time it’s Cheong-ho’s body.
Kim Shin-rok was so confused that he suspected that the clans were bringing up these topics to give him some kind of mental training.
The next thing Red Tiger reported was about the conspiracy that the Knight of the Earth’s Rumble had been carrying out to confuse the clans’ information system.
The three knights’ oaths seemed to have prepared a lot for their activities in Korea after the failed assassination of Mok Woo-ram and the capture of the senior knight.
‘If I had let my guard down even a little, I might have missed Cheongho’s body right before my eyes.’
Jo Eui-shin suggested that Hwang-ho move the three knights’ oath to make Cheongho’s body a bet and make a deal, and that he prepare for his subsequent moves.
Jo Eui-shin seemed to be asleep in peace because he had thoroughly prepared by sending a local leader to the hotel where the Chinese national team was staying in advance.
Jo Eui-shin’s arrangements did not end there.
―It seems like he was going to do something using the students as Jo Eui-shin had thought. He had placed surveillance on the students as he had suggested, but the one who was monitoring met Hyun-mu in the middle. It is said that when a special instrument player named Yao Le-chi was called by the knight of the earth, Li Wei came to help him.
―Since Hyun-mu is moving, he must care a lot about Li Wei.
―Hyun-mu cares not only about Li Wei, but also about Jo Eui-shin. He persistently asked about his well-being.
Huang Hu explained exactly what he heard from Hyun Mu.
Huang Hu added at the end, explaining the impressions of the guards who acted with Yao Le Chi, the location of the cave, etc.
―It is said that Yao Le Chi played the song that the new man often sang there.
The nobles looked longing at the mention of the new man’s song.
There was no way that the nobles would forget the song that the new man sang with his bright voice.
Even though he didn’t explain the melody, the song seemed to come to their minds.
Even though they didn’t remember the accompanist properly, it was like that.
―I usually remember the accompaniment as a female shaman... ... Sometimes, it seems like she sang without accompaniment... ... .
―The new man doesn’t sing without a proper accompaniment.
―Once I think about Heuk Ho, more and more strange things come to mind.
The nobles continued talking after that.
The nobles thought that perhaps Baekho was delivering the suspicious message on behalf of the god of dreams, but Baekho kept his mouth shut.
When they asked what the god of dreams was thinking, Baekho just laughed.
Eunho and Hwangho had prepared a full course meal of dried persimmons, and there was also a portion for the god of dreams, but he {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} couldn’t get up even then.
―Baekho, I unknowingly prepared more food than usual. You ate a lot after the battle, didn’t you? I think it was because I saw the god of dreams fighting his brother in the last simulator.
Eunho pretended to be embarrassed, but his expression was gentle and he didn’t seem troubled at all.
Also, Eunho said he had cooked, but in front of Baekho there were just piles of dried persimmons that were piled up halfheartedly.

In front of Kim Shin-rok, there was a comparison of dried persimmon gnocchi with pecorino Romano cheese and cayenne pepper, dried persimmon rolls with nuts, etc.
―Baekho, this body looks young, so I can’t eat much. Eat mine too.
Hwangho, who looked young, pushed the bowl of dried persimmons in front of Baekho.
When Hwangho looks like Hwang Yu-ho, he adjusts the amount of food during the cooking process, but it seemed like he made a deliberate mistake.
Jeok-ho also added a word.

―Baekho, since you have given Jo-ui-shin your blessing, eat Jo-ui-shin’s share as well. Son, you don’t have to give up yours, so go ahead and eat.
―But Jo-ui-shin’s share... ... .
―I will cook as soon as Jo-ui-shin wakes up. Don’t worry.
Kim Shin-rok hesitated for a while and decided to eat the dried persimmon dish for now.
Currently, the tables are overflowing with dried persimmon dishes to the point where you wonder where such high-quality dried persimmons are being procured in such large quantities.
There were boxes of dried persimmons piled up in the main kitchen.
Anyway, the dried persimmon dish looked delicious, and Kim Shin-rok reached for the dried persimmon dish after calculating that Baek-ho would feel better if there were fewer dried persimmons on the table.
Baek-ho watched Kim Shin-rok eat and then ate the dried persimmons very slowly.
Baek-ho smiled to himself after eating a few bites, and Jeok-ho suddenly spoke in a tearful voice.
―Do you like dried persimmons that much? Baek-ho laughs as much as Hwang-ho these days.
―It’s not dried persimmons, but Jo-ui-shin that makes me laugh.
―What did Jo-ui-shin say that made you laugh?
―Ask Jo-ui-shin about that.
Baek-ho knew that it would be frustrating not being able to do that, but he still scratched his friends’ stomachs.
Eun-ho smiled affectionately and offered more bowls.
―Really? Brother Baekho, please eat more dried persimmons.
And a similar situation continued during breakfast.
Baekho still hated dried persimmons, but he ate them silently and suffered.
Even after Kim Shin-rok returned, Baekho's suffering seemed to continue.
And more time passed.
After the second match of the Korea-China-Japan Youth Player Exchange Tournament, Jo Ui-shin finally woke up from his long sleep.
