EX rank supporting role's replay in a prestigious school

Chapter 917

When it was time for dinner, Jeon Mu-young, who was responsible for driving and security, also joined.

Before sitting down, Jeon Mu-young checked to ensure there were no listening devices or similar abilities present.

Before the food arrived, Jeon Mu-young gave a warning.

"There are many people trying to dig into your affairs. I chose a safe place, but until the dishes are checked after being served, we need to be careful with our conversation."

Although the room had been checked, he seemed cautious about the possibility of bribed staff using the opportunity to plant recording devices or use abilities during the serving.

If it had been the usual Seong Guk-eon, he would have just laughed it off, telling Jeon Mu-young not to worry so much, but instead, he just observed silently.

Could this be something that happened before?

Considering the incidents that occurred after Seong Guk-eon started wearing the blindfold, it wouldn't be surprising if such an incident had happened.

"I’ll check too."

"If you help, there shouldn’t be any issues. Just don’t use any major abilities."

Seong Guk-eon spoke while gently staring at my left eye, which was not fully covered by the blindfold.

My left eye was in much better condition than Seong Guk-eon's, whose blindfold completely covered both eyes, thanks to having regained partial vision.

Considering Seong Guk-eon's athletic abilities and senses, it wouldn't have affected his daily life much even if he covered one eye, but of course, he must have felt some discomfort.

It could have just been my imagination, but the dishes were ones that could be comfortably eaten without needing delicate chopstick skills.

The grilled Neobiani was cut wide enough to easily pick up with chopsticks even with a casual grip, and there were also dishes like the Bangpungjuk, which could be eaten with a spoon.

"I hope I can take this blindfold off soon. This room seems safe, so I hope we can continue our conversation."

There was a lot I needed to discuss with Seong Guk-eon.

Some topics were difficult to discuss through devices due to the circumstances, and some were topics I couldn't bring up on my own.

Without hesitation, Seong Guk-eon chose the most difficult topic to discuss.

"I will be sending my grandfather soon. The store and the burial are not what the deceased wanted, so cremation is necessary. But, since using cremation facilities is not possible, I plan to use my abilities."

It was time to send Seong Guk-eon's grandfather, Seong Hyeong-woo.

The clues left on the body had mostly been collected.

Although he had died long ago and was forgotten, it was time to show respect to a hero who had devoted himself to future generations even after death.

Seong Guk-eon and Seong Hyeong-woo had never met while alive, but it wouldn't be like Seong Guk-eon, who had a warm heart, to just let his grandfather go without any ceremony.

"Even if Siwan, who passed his trials, attends the funeral, there won't be more than ten people. I hope you will be one of them."

I wondered if I should even attend such an important event, but if he allowed it, I definitely wanted to be there.

I didn’t hesitate for long and accepted Seong Guk-eon's offer.

"Thank you for inviting me. I will attend."

"Thank you."

In response to my answer, both Seong Guk-eon and Jeon Mu-young smiled.

Although both were smiling, the atmosphere became heavy due to the topic, and Seong Guk-eon changed the subject.

"I’ve finished speaking with Team Leader Hong Gyu-bin. I've also wrapped up the matter with the Pomor Demon Clan, so there shouldn’t be any issues with the association filing a complaint about our dealings with them."

Seong Guk-eon spoke lightly to change the mood, but the content was far from light.

Seong Guk-eon was currently in a dangerous tug-of-war with the Pomor Demon Clan, under a contract.

He had set things up, but if things went wrong, it could lead to Seong Guk-eon's fall from power and a confrontation with the Pomor Demon Clan.

I had sent Hong Gyu-bin a video of the poem recited by Jeongal Jaegul, which I had gotten from King Geumchan, hoping it would help. I sincerely hoped it would be useful.

"Has the Pomor Demon Clan fulfilled their contract conditions?"

"From the lack of news, it seems not yet, but it looks like they are making progress."

Once the Pomor Demon Clan fulfills the contract, Seong Guk-eon would need to take action.

Since three representatives from our class were participating in the exchange competition, the materials we had to prepare increased, but Kim Yu-ri, a capable student, helped, and since this was my sixth meeting, it wasn’t difficult to get ready.

After quickly finishing organizing the materials, Kim Yu-ri spoke.

"I think we're doing better than before, right?"

She had almost taken over organizing the materials up until now, so it felt awkward to say "we," but it was certainly true that we were getting better.

As I felt that growth, I headed to Conference Room A for the Student Representative Meeting.

There, I ran into some seniors who hadn’t grown at all.

"Oh, Yeom Jun-yeol’s got sharp instincts."

"It’s because of Cheon Dong-ha. He gave a signal just before."

Kim Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol, who had disguised themselves as absent today for a surprise appearance, were in the mix.

At first glance, they looked like staff members from the student council, using abilities and special makeup.

The seniors planned to hold out until just before the meeting started, confirming that all participants had been deceived before revealing their identities.

But they couldn’t fool Cheon Dong-ha, the master of the Eye Boundary.

As soon as Cheon Dong-ha arrived at the meeting room, he immediately recognized the seniors.

"That’s a sloppy disguise. Even without using 'Eye of the Universe' or the Clairvoyant skill, I figured it out right away. If anyone had been paying attention, they would have seen through it immediately."

"No, everyone in our class got fooled, so you’re the strange one!"

"Hasn't his eyesight improved? Why is he acting like that?"

Cheon Dong-ha spoke in a cold tone, and Kim Chan-wang tossed a fake badge with a wig and a fake name, grumbling.

When Kim Yu-ri and I arrived at the conference room, the situation was already settled, so we didn’t get to see their disguises, but apparently, their disguises were quite good.

"They were pretty good. The fake skin seams were awkward, and a few strands of hair weren’t naturally bent, but that was the only flaw."

"How did Eun-ho figure it all out? I didn’t have a clue!"

Eun-ho seemed to have known immediately, while Eun Seo-ho had no idea at all.

Eun Seo-ho, who didn’t understand, started pestering Eun-ho, who had disguised himself as Cheon Eun-ha, to explain further.

Despite their outward appearance, it looked like a grandchild pleading with their grandfather to explain something.

"I felt a sense of incongruity, but I didn’t think it was Chan-sol seniors. Dong-ha hyung seemed to have figured it out right away."

"Me too. I need to learn from Cheon Dong-ha senior's observation skills."

It seemed that Ju Su-hyeok and Anda-in had figured it out.

They started discussing how one of the attributes of a player was observational skills, happily debating among themselves.

Everyone's growth and eagerness to improve were warming, but not everyone shared that same attitude.

"What happened?"

Yu Sang-hoon was busy looking at the PlayerZ攻略 guide on his device.

Given how focused he was, I guess Yu Sang-hoon must have grown as a gamer as well.

But why did those seniors seem unchanged from when I first met them?

Setting aside their eccentricities, it was hard to change a person in just a year or two.

If they suddenly acted normal, it would be suspicious—maybe they were planning something.

"Kim Chan-wang and his group only showed a more docile side after losing Jeongal Jaegul."

Those seniors only changed after going through something big at Flamagold.

Thinking back on it, I couldn’t decide whether it was a blessing or not that they were still like this.

By the time the meeting was about to begin, the chaos was completely sorted out.

Yeom Jun-yeol stood up from the chair and declared.

"Now, let’s begin the 2nd Quarter Student Representative Meeting."
