EX rank supporting role's replay in a prestigious school

Chapter 807

As promised, Hwang Ji-ho’s prank was on a grand scale, and he certainly lived up to his declaration of turning the school upside down.

Hwang Ji-ho had moved five attractions from the newly opened Hwangmyung Theme Park to Eungwang High: one for each of the central, first-year, second-year, third-year, and residential areas.

He intentionally placed them in spots where students would likely play pranks, enticing them to enjoy the results of their own mischief while riding the attractions.

Just like how students in the central area were able to enjoy the attraction while viewing the aurora-colored cherry blossoms.@@@@

‘But wait, I asked to prank together, yet it seems Hwang Ji-ho ended up doing it all by himself?’

He was the one who bought the attractions, moved them, and decided to bring them to the school. Though we discussed location, timing, and transportation methods, Hwang Ji-ho ultimately made the decisions and carried them out.

“Jo Yi-shin, are you really thinking you had nothing to do with this? This prank was a joint effort between you and me.”

While I was lost in thought watching the students waiting in line in front of the attraction, Hwang Ji-ho said this proudly.

After he spoke, everyone around us gasped in awe.

“No way, you’re calling this an April Fools’ joke? Given the weight of those attractions, the distance between the theme park and the school, and the power required to operate them, what you did is absolutely outrageous!”

“But Daseok rode the attraction in the second-year area first.”

“I didn’t know you had such a cool plan in mind! Next time, I’ll help too!”

“Me too! I heard you used Ineungpa for the transportation. I think I can help by adding a bit of Ineungpa too.”

“I’m with Lena on that one.”

“I’ll help next year too.”

The excited students spilled their thoughts in all directions.

Strangely, no one complained about the excessive pranks. In fact, they seemed more disappointed that they couldn’t join in on the fun.

The only one with a somewhat skeptical expression, aside from those who were outright fighting, was Dokgo Miro, who quietly observed Hwang Ji-ho.

“Good idea! Let’s all do it together next year!”

It seemed Hwang Ji-ho was already planning to cause more chaos next April Fools’ Day. I had to be careful that no students or class members got caught up in these pranks and got hurt.

Meanwhile, I received messages from the attention-seekers who weren’t at the scene.

Guseulbi attached a photo of the attraction amid the aurora-colored cherry blossoms.

In the photo, a long line of students were waiting to ride the attraction.

It looked like Guseulbi had shared several photos from the Eungwang High general bulletin board, all focusing on the attraction itself, with barely any of the cherry blossoms in the frame.

It seemed the attention-seekers were dissatisfied with that.

[옹길동] It’s unfortunate that our work has become just the background instead of the main attraction.

[옹길동] But I suppose this scene in the central area could be called our joint project. Next time, I hope we can prepare together from the start.

While politely worded, it was clear that “we want to be involved next time” was being strongly emphasized.

Since Hwang Ji-ho seemed to want to play pranks with the class, it seemed like a good match.

Meanwhile, the prank with the attractions had unexpectedly created a great situation.

The photos Mun Saeron excitedly sent showed Ju Su-hyeok and An Daini riding the attraction together.

They had come to ride the attractions with the class during lunch break.

Though one of the 1st Year, Class 0 students made some mistakes and lost a few rounds, it ended in a draw.

After Mun Saeron left the interview room, only Hwang Ji-ho, Eun-ho, and I remained, and Eun-ho added something else.

“Actually, we aimed for a draw. If we had won, 3rd Year, Class 0 would’ve tried a sneak attack to get the victory. We made this outcome so they would try to win openly in a fair fight.”

“Then you timed the arrival of the teachers on purpose?”

“Yeah, that’s why I took part in the final fight. I didn’t want to win or lose but just bought time.”

So, even the draw was part of Eun-ho’s meticulous planning.

I could understand that he had planned for a draw, but I still didn’t quite understand why they had fought in the first place.

“Jo Yi-shin looks confused,” Eun-ho said, smiling gently.

“When I do things for you, you often pretend not to know, right?”

For me? Why was 1st Year, Class 0 and 3rd Year, Class 0 fighting for the title of ‘strongest and worst troublemaker’ because of me?

Eun-ho smiled softly and continued.

“Class 0 of 1st Year is pretty aggressive. If this continues, they’ll probably aim for 2nd Year, Class 0 next. It’s possible to suppress the opinion of the whole class, but some of the members might start targeting the 2nd Year.”

“If Class 0 moves on their own, it’ll be a headache. There was a class like that in the graduated 0s, and that year, the teachers really struggled.”

Hwang Ji-ho looked like he had a headache.

Geumchanwangchan and his gang had acted as one unit, but if they scattered and acted independently, it would become much more difficult to handle.

If they spread out across Eungwang High and caused chaos in different areas, it would take many more people to suppress them compared to when they were acting together.

“That’s why I made them all aim at 3rd Year, Class 0. Without my help, it would be almost impossible for 1st Year, Class 0 to beat 3rd Year, Class 0, so we can keep the situation in a state of confrontation. Our class won’t target yours.”

Though Geumchanwangchan and his group got hit hard, I felt relieved thinking that the accumulated karma from their title as the “strongest and worst troublemakers” had come back to bite them.

Now feeling at ease, I admired Eun-ho’s consideration for 2nd Year, Class 0.

Compared to Geumchanwangchan's group, our class was much more docile and quiet, so we likely wouldn’t be able to fight back effectively against the younger generation’s attack.

Although I thought that Hwang Ji-ho could handle 1st Year, Class 0 by himself if they came to attack, it was better than having a fire burning.

“Thanks.”

“It’s nothing. It’s what I should do.”

“After hearing all of that, you’re still just sincerely thanking me...”

Though Hwang Ji-ho had said something, I didn’t care much.

After the sun had set, a very special event was waiting.

It was when Baek Ho-gun and San-ryeong came to the school and rode the attractions.

‘When I heard Hwang Ji-ho’s plan, I hoped the tiger family who couldn’t come to Hwangmyung Theme Park that day would show up.’

Though there were only five attractions, it was still something.

Baek Ho-gun, usually so stern with Hwang Ji-ho, was smiling more softly than usual, and San-ryeong was bouncing around joyfully.

Baek Ho-gun rode the attractions once, but San-ryeong was so delighted that she rode several times.

“I want to ride again...! Next time, I want to try a different attraction!”

Since Hwang Ji-ho’s pranks only lasted until April 1st, she couldn’t keep riding them until she was satisfied, but who knew what would happen in the future.

If San-ryeong gained more power, she might visit Hwangmyung Theme Park one day.

The next day, after all the traces of April Fools’ Day pranks had disappeared, Kim Shin-rok said:

“I’d like to talk to Seong Guk-eon.”

Kim Shin-rok seemed to have made up his mind.
